■ A E ARE the eooks of this brew—we’ve tried to get just the right amount wW of spice into it—enough meat to chew on, enough salt to make it tasty T and enough solid content to nourish our yearning for facts. No doubt there will be too much spice in it for some—we apologize—too much meat for others—we are sorry—not enough content for the rest—we can’t help it. As for ourselves, we’ve had plenty of bumps and have dealt some out. We have solicited deposits from unappreciative and appreciative students. We’ve solicited adds from year-book pestered advertisers, and we have worked hard on copy—on art—on detail. On the other hand we have enjoyed the pride of creationptKe experience of business, the warmth of co-operation, and we feel that we have got immensely more out of this book than we have put into it. In conclusion, might we thank everybody for their aid—Mr. Niddrie, the advertisers, and the student body. They have been the best possible, and we realize it. Good luck to you all from Page thirty-four

Alpha Tau H OST active of Westmount’s 1940 crop of clubs and fraternities was the Alpha Tau Chapter of the Edmonton Hi-Y Movement, “To create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high stan¬ dards of Christian character.” Early in 1940, following the enlistment of Pres. Packabusch and the sub¬ sequent resignation of his cabinet, the club elected Don Arnett president, Wal¬ lace Berry vice-president and Keith Brown secretary-treasurer. Arnett took Don’s place as representative to the Council. Accomplishments of the Alpha Tau are numerous. The fraternity has co¬ sponsored monthly banquets, the St. Patrick’s Prance, the Varieties of 1940. the Alberta Hi-Y Conference attended by groups from Lethbridge and Calgary, and two formal initiation ceremonies. Among the individual activities are the weekly discussion groups at mem¬ bers’ homes, a Seba Retreat at Easter, the Friday Frolic and the promotion of such school activities as the Students’ Union and the student newspaper. Alpha Tau is definitely a scholastic enterprise, providing as it does an im¬ portant link between the high school and the business world.
