the principaI's message This has been a memorable and rewarding year in the history of the school. We enjoyed the Centennial Celebrations and company of the large numbers who returned for this occasion. The success of the co-operative effort by the Board and Staff and the student body to make the necessary preparations was most rewarding. Now we go forward into the second century of our history with confidence that we will be able to make even greater achievements. To those who are leaving this year, we wish them every good fortune in all their future endeavours . ln conclusion may I express my personal thanks and appreciation for all the help and support from members of the staff and student body . -E.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club, although it hasn't a very large membership, was quite successful in that it taught these few people more than would have been possible in a larger group. This year, as in pre- vious ones, the Club has been under the watchful eye of Mr. Clayson. The field trips this year included a visit to the Edwards Gardens last fall and a winter expedition to the Toronto Waterfront. Here the members were impressed by the intriguing ice shapes, towering lake vessels, and Toronto Island's winter ferry. Practical work and talks serve as well in carrying out the club's purpose which is to encourage its members to learn more about photography. The Photography Club is gradually acquiring good equipment for the members' use. This year'-s purchase was a.n electronic flash unit for use with the Rolleicord camera, on loan from the Conning Tower. SADIE HAWKINS DANCE Once again the girls of Weston were given their one chance of the year to date that favourite fellow. In true Sadie Hawkins fashion the girls do the courting, pay their way, and of course make their partners an orginal vegetable corsage. Everyone enjoyed dancing to the music of John Board's orchestra in our cafeteria which was decorated to resemble a real Dogpatch community. Prizes were given for elimination and spot dances, and everyone had frm square dancing. The judges picked Carol Davidson winner of the prize for creating the most original corsage. As the hour struck twelve the boys resumed their natural role and escorted their Sadie home. -Sandra Busby, CSp. 48 STUDENT COUNCIl The Student Council is one of the most active and popular activities in Weston Collegiate. It is no small wonder, either, for the social life of the students are in the hands of these few. They were chosen bv the students themselves and this year I think we did a particularly good job in choosing them. And now a look at the 1957-58 executive members. President -Stewart Kinsman Vice-President -Jim Drummond Secretary -Bev. Dixon Councillors -Rosemary Johns, Dance Convenor--Marjory Knapp, Decorations Commit- tee-Lorraine Sainsbury, Decorations Committee- Peter Caskey, Publicity-Paul Clarke, Technical Representative. Our first taste of self-government and the demo- cratic way occurred in early October. Under the able supervision of Miss Scott, Mr. Heard, Mr. Lethbridge, and Mr. Calnan, the shaky, but efficient Student Council got under way. The Rugby Dance, the Centennial Dance, the Christmas Dance, the Jtmior Prom, the Annual At Home, in February and the Graduation Dance in April were events of the year, supplemented by several coke and evening dances. -Judy Rushby SHAW SCHOOLS DAY - NIGHT - HOME STUDY Intensive instruction leading to Recognized Diplomas Stenography, Accounting, Secretarial, General Office Trainin-g Your copy of Time Key to Business Efficiency sent FREE on Request SHAW SCHOOLS, fHeod Officel H30 BAY STREET - - WAlnut 2-3165 Toronto 5, Ontario Enter Anytime Individual Progress Free Employment Service
