Scrapbook of West Van's Golden Memories

Next Saturday, June 7,
West Vancouver
celebrates its 50th annual
Community Day -- and it
has the pictures to prove
it.

An appeal earlier this
month to West Van
residents for old
photographs and other
memorabilia of earlier
| Community Days (or May
Days, as thev were
originally called!
produced a_ gratifving
response. As a result, the
West Van Memorial
| Library is showing = a
special display of those
“Golden Memories”
throughout this week
and the following week.

We are reproducing
here a few of these
priceless old prints from
the scrapbooks of West
Van citizens. Not all the
details of the per-
sonalities shown are still
available. Whére they are
missing “the subjects
themselves -- or their
relatives or friends -- will
doubdess fill in the gaps.

On Community Day
itself, June 7, the West
Van Historial Society will
also be holding tts own

“memorabilia” display in HOW IT ALL BEGAN; West Van's May Day celebration on May 25, 1931, with May Queen Peggy Barker (centre)
