The Sweetheart Queen and her princesses. 1981 Sweetheart Queen Bambi Chiles. Princess Tracey Barany. 6 February 14 was a memorable day for Bambi Chiles. On that day, at the Junior High Sweetheart Prom, she was chosen as the Sweetheart Queen for 1981. Chosen as her princesses were Belinda Pederson and Tracey Barany. Left to right, top: Shawna Harris, Holly Robinson and Joann Valgardson. Middle: Alana Hull — One punk person. Mr. Wallace — Would you believe 36 —26 — 36? (That's metric of course!) Casey Carlson — Just hanging around. Janet Meyer — Miss Punk 1880. Bottom: Loren Keister — Would you believe twins? Anita Woodford — Love that hair! Jo Ann Boyko — You think your dandruff's bad! Scott Noble — What a drag! 8 Punk Day 9 Left to right, top: Mr. Laycock takes a swing at the Demolition Derby. Wayne Gretzky, eat your heart out — Bummer! Michelle Mikalson — "My blowdryer's gone hair­wire!" Sharon Hamilton and Virginia Meyer — What a pair of beauties. Judy Miyashiro — "Beats the office phone!" Earl Mills and Dave Saruwatari — "You’ve done it again Foster Grant." 10 Senior High Activities Senior High activities this year included Punk Day and the third annual Green Friday. Punk Day was held on October 10 and with many students dressing up in the latest "punk styles." Mr. Wallace was named "Mr. Punk" and Janet Meyer "Miss Punk." They received bright orange guitars as their prizes. Michele Flett, Michelle Mikalson, Glenda Christensen and Scott Noble also received awards (oversized cardboard razor blades) tor their costumes. Also, the Key Club held a demolition derby at noon hour where all students could take out their frustrations by smashing up an old car. The annual P.O.O.P. contest (Pig Out On Pies) was held again on Green Friday. After much eating (and throwing) of the pies, Gary Allred was declared the winner. He was presented with a trophy and T-shirt for his ef­forts. This year's contest was a little different from past years. For the first time, a girl (Shantelle Kirkvoid) entered the contest. After the pie eating contest, a car stuffing contest was held with the girls against the boys. This year, it ended up in a tie — both girls and boys managed to stuff 31 bodies in­to the car. 11 Jr. High Activities 12 Jr. High activities this year includ­ed things from marshmallow-eating contests to toilet paper rolling con­tests to tug of wars. Assemblies were held where skits, songs and games were played. Day events such as "hat day" and "tie day" were also held and enjoyed by all who participated. 13 For the second year, Myers students were asked for their thoughts and opinions on various topics. One thing which became evident from this poll was that Myers students do not think alike. Over 60 movie titles, 45 T.V. shows, 70 songs and 80 celebrities were named in their various categories. It was also noticed that many of the favorites from last year were not included in this year's favorites — a sign of the fast changing times we live in. Here are the results — see how your opinions and favorites rank with those of the "average" Myers student. World War III When do you think World War III will occur?

This kind of concerted effort substantially reduces the cost of yearbooks for our students. The committee and their advisor are commended for another fine quality production. Several developments this past year have resulted in more satisfac­tory operations. Our school I.M.C. and library have become a centraliz­ed service unit (although not in a central location); the guidance counsellor is now located in the main office area: the kindergarten class has moved into a section of the home ec. wing: the pre-voc class has expanded with the addi­tion of a half-time teacher and "new" facilities: and the Divisional I.M.C. has transferred to our elec­tronics room. A major part of the school year went by before a decision was made by the Board regarding our program for ensuing years — a decision reached after considerable discussion and controversy. Revised procedures for handling absentees and lates have had a very positive effect in improving student attendance and reducing class disruptions — creating a better en­vironment for teaching and learning. We continue to anticipate the upgrading of our cafeteria, and sympathize with the proprietors who have struggled to provide ef­fective service despite relatively primitive conditions. Best wishes to students and staff for a successful year. 38 Sr. High Vice-principal: Mr. Don Ferguson Have You Thought About a Career With the Treasury Branches? For complete information contact R.

The 1980-81 volleyball season was, for me as a coach, the longest most wearing season I have experienced: yet in many ways it was extremely gratifying. As you look at the pic­ture above, you will notice that only 2 of the 10 players were on the 1979 Provincial championship team. The other 8 were all new recruits, 3 from grade 10 and 5 from grade 11. At the beginning of the year, we looked terrible and nobody would have given a plug­ged nickel to bet on our

I am grateful for all of the students and staff who actively participated in the numerous events and activities throughout the year. We have come together to support one another and as a group, accomplished more than any of us could have achieved on our own. I would like to thank Mrs. Jensen and all of the students for their hard work and creativity in putting this yearbook together.

The beginning of the 2021-2022 school year was full of excitement. We returned to school mask-free! Seeing everyone's smiling faces (almost everyone...) was super exciting to see! To start the year off strong, we had Mr. Bowes share some 'words of wisdom' and Mr. Scott Petronech introduce himself as our new Principal in our school-wide assembly. In December, W.R Myers sent two teams of grade 9 students to the cardboard boat races at the University! Lethbridge. This was the first competition since 201 9. Students designed and tested their boats at the Tab Aquafun Centre, and the top two designs were sent to the competition in Lethbridge. Hats off to Team 1 who us( an "unsinkable" boat design by Joel Hansen and placed 1 st in the Junior Divisid Participants - Team 1: Kevin Kroeker, Grant Petronech, Sarah Lucas, Deja Jeffi Team 2: Blake Rabusic, Keira Virostek, Taylor Brown, and Tage Jen: ity re of the many projects done in Wildlife is dissection. Students take a few weeks to prepare for the dissections by al jntifying the differing structures in sheep hearts and the different organs in frogs. Once students have gained an us iderstanding they get to take their knowledge and put it to the test when they head to the Biology lab and dissect both si( eep hearts and frogs. These projects help students understand how organs and systems tie together in many animals, efl i if you are not the "queasy" type, you may want to give the Wilderness option a try! lls year a group of grade nines designed and built a rubber band driven car, je in signed to carry an egg exactly 500m, for the division wide Science Olympics. | >lene Wurz, Steven Pack, Carson Hughes, and Shaianne Barcena all performed very e" in the day-long competition that included three different events to compete in. Student participation in our Halloween dress-up event this year was phenomenal! It was SO FUN to see all of the amazing costumes! Characters from Scooby Doo to Sally (from the Nightmare Before Christmas) to Hippy Twins....we had it all!! Did you know? Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2 000 years ago, in the areas that are now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. Happy Celtic New Year! W.R. Myers has been incorporating Indigenous ways of knowing into our classrooms and lives as we work towards Truth and Reconciliation's calls to action. September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. As a school community (along with DA Ferguson) we were fortunate to have Elder Charlie Fox, of the Kainai First Nation (which is part of the Blackfoot Confederacy) share with us some history of his tribe's culture and tradition. The dancers then showed us some different selections of Hoop dancing, drumming and singing. It was an incredible experience for everyone! 18 BUILDING CONNECTIONS T ill Another amazing speaker was Chief Cadmus Delorme. He is from the Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan and is one of the youngest Chiefs in Canada. We learned about the importance of connection to one another (family members and friends). He also shared how Elders would teach the younger generation (through the use of oral traditions and storytelling), many important life lessons. Many of these light-hearted stories taught different wisdoms through humor and would weave wild animals into the tale. He also touched on the atrocities of residential schools, and how familial bonds were broken when Indigenous peoples were forced to attend the schools. A highlight was his 3 year old boy who made the trip with him! What a cutie! Chief Delorme made this trip to Taber to help form connections with the Taber Police Force and Indigenous Allies in our community. 19 MOW* Awards HQI^GFfHr. rebels REBELS The W.R.

At Epic day this year, Myers students got an opportunity to explore careers like Dentistry, Media, Plumbing, and Hairstyling. Students also had the opportunity to tour Lethbridge college and get a sense of what it might look like to attend college. Constable Nguyen kindly invited our Forensic Science 35 students for a tour of the Taber Police Station as a wrap up for a great semester. After helping us with the toxicology and police protective equipment units. Constable Nguyen brought us "downtown" to show us behind the scenes. We got to speak with staff in the call centre, see the digital fingerprinting apparatus, make our "one phone call" in the soundproof room and then were placed in a cell. We were let out for good 21 ARENE Huge SHOUT-OUT goes to our /? amazing STUDENT COUNCIL! zx 0 I They are responsible for I planning and organizing all of \ our school activities!

Our trusty student council literally made hundreds of pancakes to feed everyone! What could be better than filling our bellies with hot pancakes, drenched in syrup on our last cold morning before Christmas break! It was awesome! Again, the number of peeps donning Christmas sweaters was phenomenal! Looks like we have a whole bunch of twinsie's in the crowd! Did you know? The tallest Christmas tree ever recorded was in Seattle, Washington, which was 221 feet tall? 24 Merry Christmas! 28 The 2021-2022 Band year started a little slow due to Covid. For Remembrance Day the Concert Band got to play together for the first time in a year and a half. The band played live over Zoom for the school. For the Christmas Concert, Covid restrictions had lifted somewhat so we could have a Christmas concert for a limited number of people. So the Concert and Stage Bands did the concert twice in one evening. The Stage and Concert Bands ended the year with a fantastic performance at the Year End concert. The Band Students of the year are Emily Carver and Andrew Little. ; 29 W.R. dwi) MYERS In January, many of the Covid restrictions were lifted and the band was able to go on their annual band trip once again! This year, they headed to Banff, Alberta. While there students had the opportunity to do workshops on their instruments in small groups and as full bands. They worked with many wonderful musicians, who helped them learn more about their instrument and also fine-tune the musical pieces they were working on. What is a Band trip without so much more than just playing music....our students also had the opportunity to take the Gondola up Sulphur Mountain, do a scavenger hunt around Banff and of course some shopping. As you can tell from the photo's - everyone had loads of fun! 30 Grader's are *# In 2022 the Career team hosted an event called " Moving On" for the graduating students of 2022.

KISS Cook MSWWW On April 6, 201 8, reports of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash spread across Canada, leaving our country heartbroken. Of the 29 bud passengers, 16 lives were taken. On April 7, 201 8, one of the passengers. Broncos defenseman, Logan Boulet, passed away as a result of his injuries. At his request, his parents lovingly donated his organs to save the lives of six individuals. Boulet's organ donation prompted the largest amount of Canadians to register as organ donors in history. 1 50,000 individuals registered in the days and weeks following the crash, beginning the Logan Boulet Effect. Green shirt day is a reminder of how important it is to Stand Together in times of tragedy and discuss the importance of organ donation. FOR MENTAL HEALTH WRM Staff and Students - YOU ROCK! Your participation is just one small way that you can show someone you care! AM On Wednesday, May 4, 2022, students and staff at W.R. Myers were invited to take part in Hats On! For Mental Health. Hats On! Is a provincial initiative that encourages students and staff in all schools to wear a hat to help raise awareness of the importance of positive mental health. Students and staff participated by wearing hats and engaging in conversations that focused on understanding mental health and the importance of removing the stigma associated with mental illness. ®OTG Headstrong is a student led initiative that aims to end the stigma around mental health. Headstrong is Canada's only National 'evidenced based' mental health youth leadership program. The goal is to reduce stigma and encourage an open and supportive environment whera youth feel able to Be Brave, Reach Out and Speak Up for mental health. I The Headstrong team met every Tuesday at lunch from November to May to discuss mental health stigma and how to implement many® the awesome ideas throughout the school. < They initiated the Christmas locker decorating contest to "spread happiness when it's not always happy." They were involved in pink floa- ay, a way to treat students and staff while promoting their anti bullying message. The largest project they took on was during mental ealth week. The team planned and implemented activities that outlined ways to cope with mental health difficulties positively. Each day, pey planned a new activity that all students and staff were invited to participate in. They began the week with providing houseplants to veryone; on Tuesday they hosted a DIY stress toy activity; Wednesday, all were invited to a movie night; Thursday, students were invited p meet a therapy dog and the week wrapped up with a dance competition! It was a FANTASTIC week! leadstrong Team: Aubrey Evanson, Gavin Zielinski, Grant Petronech and Taylor Brown. Led by Chelsea van Husen and Kimberley Wasylowich A group of 40 students had the opportunity to ski and snowboard at Castle Mountain in March! There were definitely lots of tumbles and lots of races down the mountain! Laughs were had by all! Everyone looks forward to our annual ski trip, so if you have never gone, next year is your year, don't miss out! Did you know? Castle Mountain has been in operation for 55 years! Castle Mountain offers much more than just snow-skiing. Check out www.skicastle.com for more information about what Castle Mountain has to offer year-round! aS HIKING IN.... Mr Bowes and Mrs Ressler got to take 1 8 students to Waterton in June. They hiked to Crandell Lake where they enjoyed a nice lunch and a view of the mountains. Afterwards the group went exploring in town where they enjoyed some ice cream and shopping. To top off the trip they finished off at Cameron Falls. It was a memorable trip for many! 3010ML. Tim Luchanski joined WRM in the fall of 1 993. Luch taught Science 10, Biology 20 and 30 and various options throughout his tenure here. 28.5 years later Luch has traded in his fetal pigs for a life of leisure! When one thinks of Luch, everyone would agree he has left a legacy! Whether it was his skeleton donning a housecoat or a thong, or the mountain of gum (which has since found a new home) - his sense of humor couldn't be beat! But most important was his incredible ability to always teach the curriculum with a fierce intensity that truly captivated his student audience! He had an amazing ability to instill the desire to learn in each and every one of his students. Not only learn, but do their very best! He loved his curriculum and he loved teaching it to the student of WR Myers. Did you know? Luch also had a fierce love of baseball. He coached for many years, but he was also a phenomenal player in his younger years - he competed in the "Little League Baseball World Championships" on more than one occasion! Noel Kehler started at WR Myers in the Fall of 1 998, but began teaching years a few earlier in Warner. For the most part, during her 24 years at Myers Noel taught English and Textiles. Did yo/j know? She also taught Art as well. Noel had a love of English literature that she passed on to many students. Her commitment to growing the Textiles program was second to none! Her skill and passion for anything textiles related showed in the vast array of projects students worked on (quilts, crocheting, hoodies, stuffed animals, pin cushions (Voodoo dolls)-you name it, she could teach it! Did you know? She even helped a student make her own Graduation dress! Mrs. Kehler also held a Sewing Club after school for many years where anyone of any age to could come and learn the basics of sewing. Anyone of any age meant even elementary students joined in the fun! Our many high school musicals over the years would be be lost without her devotion to being lead Costume Designer - take a look after our most recent cast from Fiddler on the Roof - it is important to note that almost everyone had more than 1 costume change, maybe even 3 or 4 in some cases! She put her heart and soul into ensuring the costuming in each and every musical was spot on for the time period! Rebel of the Decade - Greg Bowes is not retiring, but has sought greener pastures in his new role of Vice-Principal at DA Ferguson. Mr. Bowes joined the team here at WR Myers in 2010. During his time here he has taught all levels of Phys Ed classes. Science 14-24, CALM, Math 1 0-3 and various options. He has also been our Athletic Director for over 8 years and VP for the last 3 years. He has always been a favorite among the students because of his passion in the Gym. More often than not, Bowes was the go-to person to drive the bus to many different sporting events (regular season games. Zones, Provincials) - you name it, he was right there - either coaching or cheering everyone on to do their very best! His passion often times went beyond sport. He even tried his hand at high school musicals, where he picked up small roles when needed. His love of music also meant he chaperoned band trips as well! Did you know? Mr. Bowes is an accomplished violin player and also plays the piano as well! Mr. Bowes you will be missed, the staff and students at DAF are gaining a huge as

It is entirely appropriate for this is what we are building at Myers in the field of musical drama - a strong tradition. It is in­dicative of our growth that just three or four years ago this play would have been beyond our grasp in terms of its emotional depth and over­all difficulty. Let us not delude ourselves and say that it came easy this year - it most certainly did not - but what made the difference was that we had a cast more expereinced and more able than any in previous years. Mention must be made of the heroic efforts put out by Frank Sudol and Ronalee Bennett. To­gether they were the props around which the other characters revolved. Financially, the project was a success grossing approximately $1800. This money helps to finance future productions, stage re­novations , and drama scholarships. We have established a cycle of success, both financial and artistic, and so long as we keep the inter­est of Myer's students in these endeavors, the future looks bright. Malcolm V.

O is ever onward? and onward we will go... M is what we all can achieve? a mature outlook on life...Dedication This term is one that Mr. Frank Semaka, our vice-principal, will always remember. He was honored this school year by a special day dedicated to him. This year also, he received the Centennial Medal in recognition of his dedication to the teaching profession. These honors, however, were long overdue. All Myer's students have long recog­nized his great contribution to education and their lives. Working through 25 graduations and hundreds of students is his greatest fame. But as well as these things, often most remembered are the small things which show the feelings and energies that his pupils can acknowledge. What other teacher could handle detention duties for as long a duration with the only complaint of the large number of students who perhaps sometimes fail to appear? Who else could liven up the lecture with an occasional story, or an explanation of poker or a sour joke? No student who has ever had the experience of being in any of his classes can ever forget his style, personality, and wit. The little recognition-little in the light of his achievements and contributions-that Mr. Semaka has received-will always be foremost in his memories. But may he always delight in the memories of his many students and have the satis­faction of knowing that, although we do not often show it, we are truly grateful to him for the tremendous influence he has had on our lives. It is with great sincerity that we say, "We're proud of you, Mr. Semaka. " Dawn ’68 Staff Acknowledgements The staff of Dawn '68 gratefully acknowledges the assistance and support of: Mr. Baldwin, our advisor, and the W. R. Myers faculty and staff; Mr. Geraghty's Period 5 English 20 class who eagerly sacrificed their English period to help out when a deadline had to be met; Mr. Brownbill, who patiently toted his camera literally up, down, and around the school for us; Mr. Lawson, Charles Enman, and the Photo Club for the many fine pictures which are an invaluable part of the year­book; the many anonymous students who, though not officially staff members, were always willing to give any assistance; and, all those who, in any way, have contributed to the Dawn '68. MAY YOU BE PROUD OF YOUR EFFORTS ! Executive: Phillip Peterson, Adv. Man. ; Terry Holman, Bus. Man. ; Susan Hattori, Asst. Ed. ; Linda Fong, Ed. ; Brenda Donick, Asst. Ed. ; Burton Conrad, Layout. Also: Linda Wall, Co-Layout; Gwenne Halma, Sec. ; Valeen Jensen, Art. Editorial 1 This year's edition of The Dawn is unlike any previous one in content and concept. The Dawn '68 has been an experiment, a challenging, exciting and satisfying experiment. In an effort to present more "action" we have tried to dispense with as many as possible of the traditional still group pictures and dull club reports often borrowed from previous years. In their place, we have experimented with new, varied group poses, unique layout techniques, more interesting copy ( reports ) and new materials. We are aware that not all of our revolutionary ideas will be approved of. However, it is our hope that those who are dissatisfied will support the next staff with their suggestions and assistance. Like any experiment, the Dawn '68 has required an extraordinary amount of time and tedious effort. A common comment among our staff, none of whom had had any previous ex­perience with the production of a yearbook, was, "I never realized there was so much work involved!" The yearbook is thus the efforts of many; my thanks are extended to all those responsible. It is when we view the actual published product, instead of a paraphernalia of assorted pictures, bits of typing, dummy pages, and layout mats, that our efforts become a worthwhile experience. Our experiment will be justified and deemed successful if the Dawn '68 gives you much to reminisce of this school year. Linda Fong ( Editor ) Taber Division School Board STANDING: M. Smith, H.

Administration - "The Top Three" These three gentlemen have been entrusted with the awesome task of guiding the education of the eight hundred not-so-studious pupils of Myers. Ful­filling their duties efficiently, they hold the respect of all. Thank you, Mr. George, Mr. Semaka, and Mr. Francis for your devoted, untiring efforts and for the interest shown in each one of us . . . you have truly added much to our memories of high school! Congratulations to Linda Fong and her committee for the long hours of work and planning that have resulted in this fine edition of '68 Dawn. A real effort has been made to make this yearbook unique. Preserved between its covers is the history of a year at Myers School. In addition to the pictures of all the students- the pictures of the activities ranging from initiation to graduation are a storehouse of memories. The publishing of this yearbook is truly a worthwhile venture. I would like to share with all the readers of this Yearbook a definition of education. Education is not a thing or a place; it is a process. Education is the process of producing a person who is publicly useful and privately happy. Education is not to be confused with attendance at school. Attendance may be necessary but it does not guarantee an education. Education is the spark of insight into a problem, it is the revealing of relationships between events, it is the appreciation of the struggle of minds that has provided us with the tremendous fund of knowledge that is now ours. Education is listening to the spoken word and reading the written word; it is taking the ideas of others, analyzing and sifting them, and coming up with a conclusion or generalization of one's own. Education is learning to accept responsibility for one's own actions whether that action be lack of preparation for an exam, or whether that action be hookey playing-both have consequences that are the responsibility of the doer. Education is probing the internal organs of a preserved frog, it is developing a skill of the basket­ball floor, it is polishing and refining an essay, it is making a painting come to life, it is struggling with a complex problem. Thus, education is a many faceted diamond, with each facet requiring the effort of the learner to polish it to brilliance. Education is obtained by those who work for it. I believe that the facilities, program and staff at Myers school are among the best to be found in Alberta. May I urge all who have the opportunity to take full advantage of the education available here. James L. George ( Principal ) into Tomorrows Mrs. M. Allen-P. E. Mr. R. Anderson-Sc. , Math Mr. A.

Since coming to Myers five years ago from Stirling, Tom had made many friends and had become well-known in Southern Alberta high school basketball circles as an All- Star. It is in his memory that we dedicate this page of Dawn '68 to Tom.

SCHOLARSHIP $25. 00 to the outstanding Grade 12 commercial student - Coralie Arnett Class ’68 History Bette Jo Hamman We, the graduating class of '68, were born smack in the middle of the 20th century. To be alive in such an age. With every year a lightning Page. Turned in the world's great wonder book. Whereas the learning nations look. When men speak strong for brotherhood; For peace and universal good. We are the product of the years which passed by fast and furious in a changing world following World War II, we were part of the twist, the Beatles, color television, jet propulsion, Canada's Centennial, the space era, the New Math, go-go dancers and the mini-skirt. Think of that glorious golden morning of September, 1956, Brave mothers of Dr. Hamman, Central, Barnwell, Kinniburgh, and the L. T. Westlake districts clasped the eager ones tightly by the hand as the little rascals skipped along, antici­pating the grand adventure of school. With scrubbed faces and toothless smiles, we took the first step toward the future which so hopefully belonged to us. It was a new and very different world. We entered timidly, because it was a world of faces we did not know. It was our secret fear that the teacher would expect us to read and write on the first day. We had shy fears of having to go to the bathroom and not wanting to ask. But after the first week, school was a place of laughter, scuffling feet, whispers, and old friends. Listening intently, we ventured through the magic doors of storylands. Then joy burst upon us as we began to understand, following directions, and thinking for ourselves. We rested our little heads on our desks and peeked, squirmed, and suppressed our giggles, for the minutes of rest seemed so endless. During elementary school, we blessed the relief of recess as we ran, jumped, and shouted after being subdued for over an hour. We remember the refresh­ing coolness of the drinking fountain water; the good smell of fresh air; and the freedom in games of baseball. We learned to accept criticism when we did something wrong. In 1962, we, of different schools met on a common stamping ground in Junior High. We were together--our country cousins of Kinniburgh, the sophisticated ones of Central, the intellectuals of Dr. Hamman, and the delinquents of L. T. Westlake who played a mean game of football, with the girls as the star quarterbacks. We were all enthusiastic, typical twelve year olds; bursting with energy, often noisy, very talka­tive, and almost immune to discipline. The halls were our domain. Our lockers were everybody’s lockers; our books belonged to anyone, and we were always in a mad scramble to get to class on time. I'm sure we all remember waving our green slips frantically as we brazenly entered the classroom late again. Detentions became an extracurricular activity where we met our pals at noon hour. Without a doubt, we were little monsters in Junior High. In Autumn, 1965, our happy, carefree school­days resumed. Barnwell cummuters became part of our happy crowd of teeny boppers. During our high school days, we became more serious as we realized our school demanded the price of discipline, hard work, and patience. Tonight, we fully appreciate to be alive in such an age. To Live to it! To Give to it! Valedictory Bruce Conrad "All who have meditated in the art of governing mankind have been con­vinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth. ” Those were the words of the ancient philosopher, Aristotle, commenting on the vital role of education in his time. In our time, the need for education is much greater. Our happiness, economic success, and well-being in the future depend on the extent of your education. Our technology today is expanding more rapidly than it has ever done before in the history of man. Many new books, especially those on scientific subjects, become out-dated within five to ten years from the time they are published. The use of automation is increasing. Computers speed up the hand­ling of business; run all sorts of establishments from airports to libraries; and are an indispensible aid to scientific research. They are also essential to national defence. The heart of the NORAD defence system is a giant computer which keeps tab on hundreds of flying objects simultaneously and warns of enemy attack. These remarkable devices are the products of the well-trained minds of the past. But many people are needed now, and many more will be needed in the future, just to keep our defense systems up to date. It is indeed true that the fate of impires depends on the education of the youth. We graduands have, for the past twelve years, been learning the facts which will enable us to take our place in the future. We have not been alone in this effort. Many teachers have laboured to give us the knowledge of past centuries. Facts which have been accumulating for hundreds of years are now our personal possessions thanks to their efforts. To our parents we also extend our personal gratitude. They have given us the rather firm encouragement that we have needed at times. Yes, our thanks go to all those who have so pains­takingly prepared us for success in the future; a future full of promise. We will be sorry to leave these familiar hallways and classrooms. They have been the scene of so many happy moments, and the backdrop for so many distressing problems. They will remain in our memories forever. Our high school preparation is now complete; we are ready to go our separate ways and face the great challenges that lie ahead. May we forge for­ward fearlessly and make our lives as successful and enjoyable as our high school days have been. The future and all it holds is waiting.

One might para­phrase this and say: You cannot hate learning once you really know it. We at Myers, have been fortunate to have Mr. Wright as the President of the School Board. Fortunate in that he has tried to make us less blind and less complacent; his story is one of dynamism, not deterioration. It has been and still remains for Mr. Wright, that the school surroundings will be one of renewal in a hospitable environment. But in so having - renewing becomes something of the self. Mr. Wright is an "involved" person; a man that has realized long ago that the challenge between potential and life must be an endless dialogue. He asks this of all the students of Taber and has worked hard to be heard on the idea. Life, is after all, an unequalled teacher if one is not afraid to look at it. Mr. Wright would say, that education has at its zenith the idea that the individual must pursue his own education. There is no question that Goethe was correct when he said that man will always make mistakes as long as he is doing something. By all means do something! Mr. Wright has striven for the idea that spirit is more important than form. He has seen and continues to see in teaching, that the classroom MUST possess curiosity, objectivity of search, open-mindedness, and the capacity to think critically. Is Mr. Wright saying or does he say, that freedom means permission to do just about anything? Hardly! He sees in freedom the carrier of possibilities. It is therefore with deep appreciation, that we dedicate this portion of the 1969 Dawn Yearbook to Mr. Len Wright who has helped to make us "know education". - R.J. SilversASSISTANT EDITOR'S MESSAGE: The Myers Yearbook portrays an image to those who examine it. The book portrays how the school is run, the type of students and teachers in its walls, the activities, attitude and atmosphere of the school. One can generally tell from the quality of the final product of the Yearbook just exactly what type of school it represents. Myers is a good school, but too often the final result is not a fair representative of the type of school it really is. But this is due to the lack of student support. Every year only a select few- and very few- compile and combine our Yearbook and then we the non-participating ones have the nerve to run down such a fine effort. This year the credit for such a good book lies on one man-Jim Ackerman. I do not wish to imply by this that all the other members of the Yearbook committee did not contribute or help out but when it came down to the real nitty-gritty it was he alone who put forth the effort and work needed into com­pleting this book, that you now hold. So, to Jim-we must take off our hats and salute you. Myers must and better take more care in selecting the Yearbook Committee; for every year the staff dwindles and the editor handles the bulk of the responsibility of compiling a book. This year we had one heck of a time finding people to take over the responsibility of running next year's yearbook. Just remember this: if you do not like our book as it is you know what YOU can do about it - - - - You the individual must get in and participate and put every effort into a good Yearbook, not only for yourself but for Myers. Shelby J. Wills Assistant Editor An editorial from the Yearbook Editor is, as tradition would have it, one that happily states what a wonderful job the committee has done and how the Yearbook is so much better than in previous years. However, since I seldom abide by any traditions, I would like to dispense with all this and state generally what my views are about this book and its purpose. As much as possible we have tried to break the more tedious traditions of the yearbook. Prose has been despensed with or added where ever and when ever possible. Candid snap shots have been almost done away with because they are too contrived for a good yearbook to contain. Shelby's enthusiasm and assistance more than any other factor made the publication of this book possible and I would like to sincerely thank her. Thanks also to Norm and his advertising committee, Lynette and the other artists and Mr. Baldwin for his advice and assistance. Thanks also to all those who in any way contributed to the publication or development of this book. Aquarius begins something new and something that greatly pleases me. Martin Kaga, the artist, has derived the title from the song of the same name by the FIFTH DEMENTION. In this new age "... peace will find our planet." Therefore we ask Aquarius - Where? When? Where on this planet does one find equality, stability of values, sincere friendship, a place where ideals are not scoffed at and where individuality is respected and sought after. If one were lucky enough to find such a place he would think he had discovered a Utopia if not Shangrala. Such a place will never be found if one is shrouded in the unenvolved attitude of the Canadian people. To the Grads: "the development of the world is within your grasp. Stare the realities of life square in the face, determined to sway the human race from the goal of self destruction they have set. Never feel alone in your attempts to change your environment. Always stick with your original ideals and never, ever give up. To all those people whose hands search the pages of this book, the same should be applied to their lives. Good luck to all and may all your endeavers be fruitful.

Whom, then, do I call educated? First, those who manage well the circumstances which they en­counter day by day, and who possess judgement which is accurate in meeting occasions as they arise, and rarely miss the expedient course of action. Next, those who are decent and honorable in their intercourse with all men, bearing easily and good-naturedly what is unpleasant or offensive in others and being themselves as agreeable and reasonable to their associates as is humanly possible to be; furthermore, those who hold their pleasures always under control, and are not unduly overcome by their misfortunes, bearing up under them bravely in a manner worthy of our common nature; finally and most important of all, those who are not spoiled by their suc­cesses, who do not desert their true selves but hold their ground steadfastly as wise sober minded men. Rejoicing no more in the good things which have come to them through chance then in those which through their own nature and intelligence are theirs since birth. Those who have character which is in accord not with one of these things but all of them, these I maintain are educated and whole men possessed by all the virtues of a man. -Socrates: 436 - 338 B. C.

GRAD ’69 MAY 23, CLASS NO. 98 TIME FOR A BEGINNING" CLASS HISTORY EXCERPTS from the CLASS HISTORY BY MARTIN KAGA Madam Chairman, Honored Guests, Fellow Graduands: I have been accorded the privilege this evening of pre­senting to you, a personal summary of the experiences of the '69 graduating class. Condensing the events of twelve years for a hundred students would be an impossible task however, unless there were some point to talk or focus upon. There­fore, in review of all the events: successes, failures and progression, the keynote which suit our class seems to be the amount of responsibility we have taken up between grades one and twelve towards ourselves and the parts of society which determine our character. Through each grade the added responsibilities and opportunities have thus brought us to today's climax. Our first troubled days quickly prepared us for this theme. Separated from our parents for the half day of school, to be the first of many, the responsibility of looking out for ourselves to a greater extent was a fearful and tearful one we more or less accepted. As we learned however, school was not as bad as its first impression. The work was easy and quickly to be praised. Our educators shared with our parents, the daily chores as mother or father figures and our respect for those beings was only matched by our fear of their laws. The grades soon progressed however, as did the students' view of school. The rough life consisted of chasing enemies up the backstop of Westlake, the annual track meets at Dr. Hamman, Centrals sportsmanship. Thus in six years of elementary life we gained some of the responsibilities we would remember and use in High school. The shocking new freedoms and temptations of Jr. High however, sidetracked our confidence, but definitely elementary young minds. The shock which broke this somnolent stupor, came in the form of departmental exams. Disgust, frustration, and cramming somehow enabled us to survive that storm and threw us into the din of Sr. High life. We enlisted the cosmopolitans of Barnwell, selling our class to its present capacity, finally concluding a process of unifying all the districts grade tens. The theme of everything we did in class from that point on centered about our life after leaving school. From deciding what to do after school each day to deciding what to do after school for a life time is a huge contrast from writing a simple occupations 10 essay. The three years it took us to gain that responsibility has been thus a result of slow process which we are formal completing acceptance of today. The gaining of these obligations and their fulfilment have been the paramount ideal of our society. Our ascendency from looking after ourselves in school to looking after our future satisfies this ideal in part. The gaining of responsibility like history, itself however, is a continuing and growing event in its own right. Thus, although we must close this chapter of our history, we must prepare ourselves for those YET TO PASS. sorrow as we leave this place. CLASS VALEDICTORIAN EXCERPTS FROM ANGELA HOWS' SPEECH Madam Chairman, Honored Guests, Parents and Fellow Graduands and Ladies and Gentlemen. To this place, W.R. Myers, to the guidance of our parents and teachers, to the fellowship of our schoolmates, we owe everything. Here we lived for 6 years, having passed from child­hood to maturity, as mature as teenagers can be. But now the end has come; we must bid farewell to all of you and to the good and bad times we have experienced. Our old meeting places and favorite haunts will be frequented by new faces and entities. It is with mixed feelings that we move onto a new way of life and all of us will be experiencing feelings of both joy and It will be a sad occasion because we will be loosing many of the friends we have made and the attachments we have established over the years. Some of us will miss the social and other activities as­sociated with school. The occasion will be a glad one too, because an end has come to the routine, classroom discipline and regimentation, exams, and all the other things that are associated with Jr. and Sr. High School. Another reason for happiness is the sense of achievement synonymous with this occasion, a sense that carries with it a feeling of satisfaction. But this satisfaction was only possible through the sympathetic understanding and guidance of our parents and teachers. To our parents we owe our very being as well as the opportunity of gaining an education. They have provided for our every need and have steered us safely through many a crisis. We are also beholdent to our professors for the knowledge and understanding they have imparted to us. Credit goes to our friends for assisting in the building of character and personality. We have achieved an awareness of social grace and poise and have learned to respect the INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL. As we leave the safe confines of home and school and go out into the world we must always keep in mind that there can be NO HAPPINESS in a LIFE WITHOUT WORK. To win success we must well use and need ambition and a strong determination to work hard. The world needs people of worth, people of determination, people with a purpose, people of action. Our duty is to accept our stations in life with strong faith, zeal, self-confindence and the willingness to toil hard. Though the future is unforeseeable and uncertain, we can take steps to reasonably insure a hopeful fate for ourselves by setting high goals and striving unceasingly to attain them. Without a capacity for work and a love for performing the duties of our chosen vocation, success, independence, and security will surely elude us. It is a proven fact that out of 100 men at the age of 65 a full 50^0 would be broke and dependent upon charity to their relatives or public institutions. One third would be dead, many due to improper living. 5 of the 100 would be in poor financial circumstances, while only 4 would be considered comfortable and 1 lone man would be rich and you can be sure he had the unusual capacity and willingness to work. Perhaps the bad thing about making good is that you have to keep on making good every day thereafter, but by sticking to one thing and laboring at it constantly, we are bound to perfect ourselves in a job we seek to do. Now we leave, not knowing when or whether ever we may return, to face the future with hopes and aspirations, with fears and apprehension. Shouldering a task greater than ever we've had to shoulder before, but with inspiration given to us - WE CANNOT FAIL. Good-bye, good luck, and God bless you all. GRADS ’69 VICE-PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE TO THE GRADUANDS The school year 1968-'69 could well be called the year of student unrest, resistance and even violence. A tide or rebellion has broken out in educational institutions all over the world. The news­paper and television coverage of student rioting has contributed heavily to perpetuating and aggravating the number and instensity of such episodes. Paralleling the incidence of physical upheaval there has been a moral and emotional conflagration. Use of psychedelic drugs generation gap conflicts, "hippie" be­havior and thinking and a general renouncing of the honored virtues of honesty, responsibility, industry, good will towards fellow men, all have caused schools to become suspect. Added to this, the tremendous drain of costs of education on the national economy and it is small wonder that the serious minded part of society has become alarmed and outraged. Although this picture of educational institutions is not satisfactory, it is also not completely true. The foregoing description is applicable to only a segment of individuals in relatively a small number of schools. Most students and most schools are bending their energies to the task of developing intellectual competence. Schools are still producing knowledgeable, capable, creative thinking young people who will handle the problems and ills of their generation just as adequately, if not better than their fore­fathers. Here in W. R. Myers probable exists a small reproduction of the national educational scene. We have our rowdiness at dances occasionally, differences of opinions between teachers and pupils; among pupils; among teachers and even among administrators but wisdom and good judgement inevitably follow discussion. Dialogue prevails over violence and swinging fists. Of course this relatively quiet purposeful achievement doesn't make very interesting reading in the newspapers or viewing on television. In summation, an appraisal of our situation would indicate that although we have a considerable amount of room for moral, intellectual and cultural improvement, we are not in immediate danger of break down in these areas! But only with conscious, planned effort will we surpress undesirable manifestations in our midst and strive towards worth-while goals. F.

Later, two old barrack build­ings were moved on to the school grounds. One was used as an industrial arts building and the other as a gymnasium. Eventually, the gymnasium became the Cranford Commun­ity Hall while the other building is now used as the school divi­sion maintenance shop. In the 1950’s two gymnasiums were built, along with the junior high portion of the complex. Students moved into the new building during the 1960-61 school year and the name For more information on football look to page 64 changed to W.R. Myers High School. Mr. Myers had served for many years as a trustee on the board of the Taber School Division. As the numbers in high school increased two more wings were added: the indus­trial wing in 1963, and the home economics/business ed­ucation wing in 1967. In 1981 it was decided that W.R. Myers should be split into separate ju­nior and senior high schools. The junior high was called Taber Junior High until it was renamed in honor of Don A. Ferguson. In 1990, Grade 9 stu­dents became part of the high school. For a better look at pep ral­lies see page 4 Opinions Page 2 --------- F Students Speak Out! If you won the lottery, what would you do with all that money? “Depending on the amount, probably give some to family and friends, then buy a nice car, new clothes and save the rest.” Laura Odland - Gr. 11 (Left). “I’d buy myself a car, two new wardrobes and save the rest for an early retirement so I could travel the world and stay extra long in Jamaica, find myself a handsome companion and live happily ever after.” Trina Meadows Gr. 11 (Right). What's your ideal vehicle? “1993 Ford 3/4 ton 4x4 with a 5-speed 460 motor, cab and a half, short box with tinted windows and a wicked black paint job." Michael Kemick - Gr. 11 (Left). “1968 Malibu, because it's an original muscle car.” Chad Clarke - Gr. 11 (Right). What was your first impression of Myers High School and how has it changed? “I thought it would be all play and no work, also a time to get to know more people. I soon found out that it’s a lot of work without a lot of free time.” Danna Madison - Gr. 9 (Left). “Before, I thought this school was big! I was also nervous to be the youngest in the school now I realize Myers is small and it’s not so bad being the youngest. I also thought it would be easy — what a joke!” Kristi Engleson Gr. 9. What was your first impression of Myers High School and how has it changed? “I thought it would be easy going and not such hard work, but now I know I have to work hard to get anywhere and it’s teaching me a good lesson on my first report card." Brad Jensen - Gr. 9. “Before school started I thought it would be hard to find my way around, also I thought the classes would be way harder than they are. Now I could probably walk around the school blindfolded.” Tracy Burns - Gr. 9. Opinions Page 3 If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose? Why? “In a house along the 18th fair­way of Pebble Beach golf course, because I love golf!” Chris Madsen - Gr. 10 (Left). “On a moun­tain, in a cabin by a big clean lake, where I own a lot of land. I love to live where I can go outdoors and do anything outside. I like to fish and hunt so all I have to do is to walk outside and there it is. I love being outdoors!” Brent Stuckart - Gr. 10 (Right). What’s your ideal vehicle? “1993 GMC Z71 off road 4x4 with a 10 disc CD player under the seat and the best tape player for the dash. Also loaded with AC and all other luxuries.” Eric Zilinski - Gr. 10 (Left) What’s your best excuse for not having your homework done or for not goint to class? “I don’t need an excuse, I’m bigger than you!” John Tschrit-ter - Gr. 10 (Right). What advice would you give to future high school students? “Play sports, have fun, and do your homework. In sports you’ll make lots of friends, and have fun or you’ll be bored for 3 years. Do your homework so you will graduate in 3 years, not 4.” Rhonda Lent - Gr. 12. “Start high school by get­ting good grades in Grade 10 and keep on getting them throughout high school so you don't end up like me and have to come back for another year of Grade 12.” Jonathan Bennett - Gr. 12. What do you like about our school? “I like the stairs in the school and the fact that there is absolutely no heat in the 1949 building. I guess it is suppos­ed to keep us awake.” Mark Appleton - Gr. 12 (Left). “My dad is the principal!” Michael Johnson - Gr. 12 (Right).

Journalism Page 16 This year the yearbook has been a challenge for me, but a good challenge. This yearbook is a book of memories for you to look back on. Working on the yearbook is very rewarding, but it requires a lot of work. Meeting deadlines, finding the right pictures, writing copy, etc. is not all that easy at times, but we made it. I would like to thank Mrs. Klemen for all the help she gave us and Dave Schritt from the Taber Times, who lent us his negatives. Also, thanks to my fellow students in journalism class.

Dave Hinton hard at work. Jennifer and Krissy show that journalism can be fun. Seniors Sharia Nishida is busy doing her homework every chance she has. Beckie Peterson takes time out of her busy schedule to relax in Del's room. After 12 long years, we have finally arrived at our senior year! It is a year full of antici­pation of what the future holds for us all. We are busy deciding which university or college we want to go to, meeting applica­tion and scholarship deadlines as well as studying for all the hard exams that are creeping up in June. Some of us may de­cide to take a break from school and try working and living on our own, away from our par­ents. As we look back, we see many friendships and memories obtained throughout our years in school. Our senior year en­tails many hard hours of school and homework, but rest as­sured we still find time to go out and have fun. We are making this our best year yet! Not so often seen during class, we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Angie’s smile during noon. Jennifer Martin, Krissy Shewchuk, and Tracey Chapple caught wan­dering the halls during class. Prom Grads Page 18 Top to Bottom: Beckie, how'd you get so lucky as to get Derek to be your walking partner? You look good together! Aren’t you glad that it’s finally over, Rhonda? So, ah, Myrna what are you doing next Friday night? Don’t get too car­ried away girls; you don’t know what could happen. This is the best time of our lives so far.

My mom always says that the best recipe for a successful -speech should always include shortening, so I promise not to make you suffer for too long. This year's graduation theme is "A Whole New World”: and, when you think about it, it really is. In a very real sense, we are leaving one phase of our life and entering into an entirely new one. No matter what path we take from here, we will be faced with many important decisions and a lot more responsibility to accompany them. Just because things are going to change, though, it doesnoi'necessarily mean that life will get easier. And it is not meant to be. As we think about where we want to be in the future, we can see that there are many different directions we might take. There are those of us ■ i plan to soon leave get married.

It's always great to get the students on campus to see what science opportunities exist outside of High School! Chemistry 20 - Acid­base titration lab. Drip, swirl, colour change!" Chemistry 30 - Building t model of a condensation polymerization reaction, making polyester. Each year the Physics 20s have to build their own roller coaster at the end of the Work and Energy Unit. The students have to demonstrate their knowledge to build a working roller coaster that meets set conditions, and then do calculations on their design. It's a fun project and it s always so amazing to see what they are able to come up with!

Thank you to the community of Taber for sponsoring our awards and supporting our students in their future endeavors. This year we had 44 individual families and businesses provide financial support....this is FANTASTIC!!!! Our Academic Awards Night, held Nov 1st, 2018, was a huge success again this year. We invited 102 students to be recipients of the awards. This is about 1/3 of our total student population. We have a lot of great students all striving for excellence! This event really does take a villagi h a p prlALLO WEEN Halloween this year had a little bit of everything! A nudist on strike (bonus marks for creative thought on that one!) If you, by chance, happened into the grade 10 hallway you most definitely would be been serenaded by the talented Mr. Friesen - man can he sing (if you got a glimpse, you could see what makes him such a great Drama teacher!) The day ended with a pumpkin craving contest, great fun was had by all! VOLLEYBALL SV Girls The Senior Varsity girls volleyball team was a joy to coach. We had our ups and downs but each athlete contributed to the development of our team. This work ethic showed in the massive season of growth, competing with the top 4 teams in our Southern Alberta League. We finished the season 29-21-1 match record. It was a pleasure to coach this group of athletes. I wish the graduating 12 players all the best in their future endeavors. You are always welcome to come back and help cheer on our future Rebels. See you next season!

The team advanced to playoffs in each tournament, winning silver at the Churchill Cup, and reaching the semi-finals of the year end tournament before bowing out in a third set tiebreaker. Despite having a small and relatively inexperience team, we were able to learn from both Mr Pritchard and the returning players. The Rebels had great success along the way, with highlights including back to back wins against defending provincial ZB championship teams and many victories against 4A-size schools. Well done, gentlemen!

They finished second in two tournaments and champions at a third tournament. We also won the divisional championship beating Barnwell in straight sets. At zones we lost a very close match by a couple points to the eventual zone champions in the semi final. The team awards went to Abby Sawchuk - MVP, Kassidy Virostek - Heart & Hustle, and Reese Merkl - Most Improved Roster: Addyson Bryanne Jones Turcato (*2), a# Remem One of the struggles of this past year has been that our gym has been unavailable to use for assemblies. This meant that Remembrance Day ceremonies needed some creative thinking. So, thanks to the video wizardry of Sam Bennett, we composed a video that was played simultaneously in each classroom. Students contributed poetry and readings that helped to express our appreciation for the service of those who have fought and died on our behalf. This year was special in that we were able to have a recent veteran of the Afghanistan War as a PSIII teacher. Mr. Ginther shared his personal experience of the war and reminded us of the importance of our freedom. Brent Ginther was an intern teacher with AAr. Bennett this past year. AAr, Ginther is an injured war veteran. He shared his military experience during a remembrance day ceremony where students learned that he was shot in the legs during active duty in Afghanistan. We are grateful for AAr. Ginther and his service in the military where he helped make the world a safer place to live ANGELfpf- Our student council partnered with our counselling department in a fabuous fundraising/gift giving opportunity. Angel Tree provided students with the ability to donate money or purchase a gift for struggling families in our community. After raising some $400+ dollars student council headed out to our local Walmart to purchase the gifts for these families. T'is the Season! Christmas ccleb'ations hod to be scaled back this year due to no gymnasium. But a great pancake breakfast and a few games of Kahoot was enjoyed by all the students who came out to participate! Signs WrM W.R. Myers had two curling teams this year and were coached by Andrea Makarchuk. A Boys Team (Konnor Unser-skip, Brady Swistin-third, Rylan Milo-second and Rylan Cetinski-lead) and a Girls Team (Alanna Makarchuk-skip, Jordyn Clarke-third, Jessi Young-second and Ashleigh Little-lead). Both teams had to qualify from divisionals. The Boys won the round robin against St. Mary's and Vauxhall but lost in the finals. Fortunately, our division was able to send two teams. The Girls won against St. Mary's to go to zones. At zones, the Boys qualified to the semi finals and to the bronze medal game, where they lost again to Vauxhall. The Girls at zones went on to the gold medal game against Vulcan and won the banner. The Girls team went to Provincials in St. Paul where the games did not go as well as the team would have liked. They went 0-4 in the round robin. But were amazing representatives of W.R.

The big moment of the season was going to Bow Island Varsity Girls tournament and winning it. Great season girls! £^’ BASKETBALL The Tier 1 boys basketball team was a great group of young people to work with and each of them developed as a player and also as a team. Mr. Moser and AAr.

We kept improving as the season went on finishing second in league. We finished 2nd in the Cardston tournament and won our next 2 tournaments. We lost to Barnwell in the division final. We then finished 6th at 4J zones. Our team consisted of 7 grade 9's and 3 grade 8's. Myers students spent Valentine's Day skiing at Castle Mountair The weather was freezing in Taber that morning, but it was fantastic at the hill, so our students were able to spend a lot of time on the slopes. Conditions were very good for both the skie and the snowboarders. Mr Bowes and Mr Pritchard knocked some of the rust off by getting a quite a few runs in, and Mrs McClelland brought back memories of the Crazy Canucks. We tried to get a picture of her in action, but she was just too spee All in all, it was a very fun day for students and staff on the hill een Shirt April 6, 2018 is a day that hit many families quite hard. On that day, a bus transporting the Humboldt Broncos en route to Nipawin, Saskatchewan, was struck by a semi tractor trailer unit. On April 7th, Logan Boulet of Lethbridge succumbed to injuries sustained in this crash. Logan had been inspired by his rugby coach and family friend to become an organ donor. He made his wishes known to his family, and they followed through with his directions upon his passing. This story became a much-needed beacon of hope and positivity in such a bleak and tragic situation. It has been well-documented how organ donation rates have increased dramatically in the wake of Logan and the Boulet family’s selfless act. The LGBT+ students of W.R. Myers, and their allies that support them are fortunate to have the resources and the space to be proudly and unashamed to be out, and to find support within the members of the community. The world is often a scary place to navigate for young adults trying to Sure out who they are. Especially for those who are LGBT, J are questioning. GSA’s provide the opportunity for expression and fellowship in a safe environment for these young adults, and provide resources to aid them in their journey of self-discovery. GSA takes place on Mondays during APV in the councilors office, if you would like to know more please visit one of the councilors for more details. -Kayden Klok, GSA president 41 On April 7, 2019, to mark a year since Logan s passing, WR Myers participated in Green Shirt Day. We took time to pause and reflect, and to celebrate the gifts of life that were made possible through Logan’s decision. It is the Boulet family's wish that people have the conversation about organ donation. We support their wish. STUDENT POLLS ALIGN WITH PROVINCIAL RESULTS The provincial election in the second semester gave the Social Studies teachers a chance to engage students in their civic duty as future voters. We were able to successfully organize a full candidates forum using the Central Gym. Taber high schools were invited to attend and some almost 400 students were treated to some lively debate on the hot current issues. The candidates answered questions on LGBTO* rights, minimum wage, education funding which were asked by students from W.R. Myers. The debate was followed up with a vote simulation that allowed students to vote on the same candidates that their parents voted on. We partnered with Student Vote Canada and had some interesting results United Conservative 181 Alberta Party 63 Liberals 18 New Democrat Party 3. One of the highlights was being able to help some of our 18 year old students to officially vote for the first time. CONCERT AND STAGE BAND EXCELLENCE The Band had another busy year. They began the year with the stage band performing at Clearview Lodge and the Town of Taber s Remembrance Day Ceremony. Ryland Baker performed Last Post. Then both the stage and concert band's performed at Dr. Hamman Elementary School. With our gym not being available due to renovations, all concerts were performed at the Civic Center or at Central School. Both bands did a great job at the Christmas Concert. This year the band had Global Drums as their special guests for the Music of the Night Concert. In April, the bands went to Sun Peaks, British Columbia for their band trip. They performed in Salmon Arm, Kamloops and at the Cantando Festival. The Concert band received a bronze and the stage band a silver. Once again, concert band performed at Graduation and the stage band helped to celebrated senior's week at Clearview Lodge. And the year was finished with a fantastic year end concert! This year's band student of the year was Jordyn Clarke. FLUTE QUARTET INVITED TO PERFORM AT FESTIVAL OF THE STARS Brooklynn Bennett, Beth Nelson, Emily Carver and Aleah Warkentin performed at the Lethbridge Speech and Arts Festival. They won their class and were invited to perform at the Festival Stars concert. In April, the bands went to Sun Peaks, British Columbia for their band trip. They performed in Salmon Arm, Kamloops and at the Cantando Festival. The Concert band received a bronze and the stage band a silver.

Wynn John McDonald Our Advertisers Aiko Morihira And Publishers Page Six^dltoziaL I wish to thank you for your patience, and hope that this book will in some way fulfill your expectations. With the publication of this edi­tion of Dawn, the first question to arise is, "What about next year?" A yearbook, in my opinion, is one of the most important and inter­esting projects that a group of high school students can tackle. It is not just another book. It is one of which you are a part, a very vital part, as the years pass. True production costs are high (this year's edition costing over one thousand dollars) but these can be met through advertising and sales. True also is it that there is a great deal of work involved, but it is hardly noticeable on such a worthwhile enterprise. "What about next year?" Next year should see a bigger and better Dawn come out of Taber High. B. E. Page SevenPage Eight ^J^addCing (Dns i (Dam danoz. Among those graduating from schools and universities, or leaving school this year, are our future citizens who will be our statesmen, our executives, our leaders, and our mastercraftsmen. Some will be our doctors, our lawyers, our clergy, and our teachers. They will be our future representatives in the finer arts and writings. We do not know now who will fill each of these positions, but one thing is sure and that is that there is a place of honour for each who is willing to put forth the effort to reach it. New and interesting fields are opening, begging for boys and girls, men and women of vision to cultivate and till them. We have a wonderful Canada, a wonderful province, Alberta. In the development of any worthwhile country, enterprise and initiative are essential. We must find uses for our known resources and develop our potential resources by being alert to their possibilities. Our country is developing by leaps and bounds. Today, even in the humblest of homes, are found conveniences and signs of advancement that were not dreamed of just a few short years ago. These things have been brought about by men and women who had much less education that it is the privilege of young people to get now. Many look for opportunities to lay the blame for misadventures on something rather than for people to so work that the misadventure is not possible, people who are willing and wanting to achieve things. It is upon people and not upon conditions that the future of our country and our fair province depend. There is little or no use just thinking of the big things. The need is for action and doing something about the thinking. What do you want? What do you want to be? These are important questions for each and every one. Unless each and every one can answer them specifically and with determination, a game that is already lost is being started, and played. You must have an objective—specific, definite, and concrete. You are not doing justice to yourself if you are willing to take a job because the work will not be too hard and the salary will be adequate for your needs. With such ideas in mind you will still be in line for a 'job' at fifty. Right now is the time to determine that you will never give in to inertia. One should never be content with conditions as they then are. Many excuses are given by people for not attempting further advancement. That one is too old a fallacy that holds back many able people. History shows that one is never too old to do something worth while. Never at any age in the past has such an opportunity been offered young people as at the present. There can be no possibility of lamenting or wringing one's hands over "lack of opportunity." So true are the words of James Ramsay Ullman when he says: "That men will some day reach the summit of the world means little. That they should want to reach it and try to reach it means everything." If you have the courage to begin, you must have the energy to follow through to completion whatever you have begun. The ones who are headed for success are working toward it. Success doesn't just come. Work doesn't scare the one headed for success. He knows that the crowded life is the most hoppy. It has been said that man is master of his own fate. Now has been added to this statement—"only in as far as he is able to adapt himself intelligently to the conditions which surround him and turn them to his advantage." One must have self-discipline, the common sense to say 'no' to those things that do not lead directly in the desired direction. The examinations that you wrote this year were only paper tests. The greatest test that any young person ever has to face is the test of wisely choosing a 'job.' To hurry and get excited is to fail. Achievement is not to be had in a day. Man­kind has spent many ages in rising to its present level. Some things need fixing. We have not found how to live at peace, how to co-operate internationally. The opportunity is there for you to help solve. Ralph, in Clifford Odets' play "Awake and Sing," says, "It's a cock-eyed world." To this Jacob replies, "Boys and girls like you could fix it some day." H. B. MYERS, Principal. Page NineWhat is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. My new-cut ashlar takes the light Where crimson-blank the windows flare. Erect and motionless he stood, His face a hieroglyph of stone; Stopped was his pulse, chilled was his blood, And stiff each sinew, nerve and bone. Oh, to have a little car! To travel in night and day; A little AUSTIN, an AUSTIN of my own— Out of the wind's and the rain's way. Page Ten 1951 Graduates TIME PRESENT AND TIME PAST ARE BOTH PERHAPS PRESENT IN TIME FUTURE AND TIME FUTURE CONTAINED IN TIME PAST Tonight, as the last page in the chapter of our High School Careers slowly begins to turn, marking the close of one of the most important phases of our lives, we recall myriads of experiences which will guide us as we strive to become citizens, not only of a community, of a province, of a nation, but of a world, at present in the throes of an ideological conflict. If we can become these and gain for the world, ourselves, and for those who follow, an interval, not plagued by man’s inhumanity to man, ive shall consider our days in Taber High School, well spent.

Page Fourteen Tonight, twenty-eight of us, in the presence of our parents, teachers and friends are marking the culmination of twelve grades of formal public school education. The experiences which we have gained throughout the past years will be long remembered. Let us review the past twelve years. Most of us enrolled as grade one students in the year 1938-39. We knew not then, of the critical international situation which was to shake the world and influence our daily lives. We assumed, with childlike nonchalance, that upheavals in society were natural incidents in our lives. The war years continued and words that did not mean too much to us began to take on meaning: "Dictatorship," "Totalitarianism," "Survival of Democracy," formulated themselves into political social concepts and we began to realize in our daily lives that the global society was no united family. I can recall when I was in grade seven the jubilance voiced by our parents and friends when they told us that victory was ours and that a new United Society was in the making. Our teachers hopeful of the new United Nations organ, showed us the machinery of International Government which was to shape the new reign of international peace that was supposed to prevail with the culmination of war. But soon, too soon, it was pointed out to us the frailities of the human heart that was to control the pattern of society men hoped for. The cracks became crevices and men coined a new word for us to digest and chew ■—- the Cold War. Thus during our twelve years the frustrated adult society has thrown upon us a great challenge which in a way has speeded our growth towards maturity. The education and experience we have re­ceived will certainly help us in governing the destiny of our generation. Despite the international threat that shadows our daily lives, there are incidents that warm our hearts, incidents which prove to us that life is what we make it. The graduates that have gathered here tonight have had varied experiences some enrichening, some trivial. We have had a great deal of fun throughout our school career, like all other graduates, worry­ing parents, annoying teachers, who in their turn have inflicted well deserved punishment upon us. When we registered as Taber High School Students in the year 1947-48, we were struck by the heterogeneous nature of our class. Here were gathered into one class, students of 12 different national extractions, and two different races, who had spent earlier years in schools in British Columbia, Saskat­chewan, Manitoba and Ontario and although we were in the same school, we were not pursuing the same course, for Commercial, Technical, and Home Economics has been added to the Academic program. I truly think that the varied nature of our class reflects the heterogeneous nature of our Canadian culture. Yet despite this variety, I can see one aspect common to all of us—no matter what the race, na­tional extraction, province or origin, or courses pursued—there is that common goal, "to fit into the common Canadian social, cultural, economic security." As the first graduates of the new Taber High School we feel proud to leave its doors knowing we have had a pleasant and successful school career. Our 12 years will certainly be kept in our treasure chest of memories forever. In marking the first year of the second half of the 20th century, I hope the Class of '51 will prove their worth as graduates of the Taber High School. AIKO MORIHIRA. niGH»^ LIBRARY / Page FifteenOne unusually calm day, I was innocently walking past the door of Room 15, when I noticed a pale green cloud of smoke emerging from the keyhole. This Grace Konno special carbon monoxide, sent me hurtling into the year 1981. Remembering that I was to write the class prophecy, I took this opportunity and walked directly over to the Vital Statistics Bureau, located on Myers St. and 5th Ave. N., in Taber, Alberta. Standing by the door of the building was a policeman whom I immediately recognized as Henry Schlosser. Although his face was wrinkled and his hairs few and gray, he still possessed his Mighty Mouse-like build. The first name I came across was Brian Evans. He was now principal of the Taber Reform School. In the same school, Colin Miller, B.Sc. was teaching Chemistry; Marlene Gilbertson, Biology and Geology and Aiko Morihiro, French. Mr. Semaka, 1 learned, was also on the staff, teaching Trigonometry. He had, in his few years of teaching, devised a new way of doing question number 25 on page 91. There were recorded three mental cases, all of whom had been moved to the central part of the province. The first and second cases were Jack Ohno and Susumu Nagami, who had gone "buggy" while trying to make a perpetual motion machine, despite Mr. Wynn's consistent warnings. The third was a certain "Dusty" who had gone to the dogs because a coyote had gotten the better of him. A number of the graduates of fifty one had entered the agricultural field. Richard Ferguson was now president of the Breeders Association as well as the Calf Club. He had developed the "Ferguson humpless cattallo," with much help from cousin Elwood. Henry Shimbashi had perfected the "Tater Early Potato" and was now Potato King of the world Kas Ohno had made his million because he had developed a perennial cucumber which yielded enough for the needs of the Johnson-Fisher Pickling Co. Limited. Keith and Garth Palmer were now prosperous because they received a 50 per cent cut on all wagers from the "Which one is Keith and which one is Garth" contest, sponsored by the Trig, class, a branch of the Gardner-Christensen-Gardner gambling syndicate. Vincent Mereski now coached and managed the Taber Midget Baseball Team which had won the National League pennant in 1980. Ken McDonald was now sponsoring the former Sicks' Native Sons hockey team, under the slightly altered name of McDonald's Taber Boys. Elwood Peterson was his chief scout. I learned that Bill Stevens owned all rights to the Alberta Standard Oils and had as his account­ants, Barbara Burbank and Minnie Paul, as well as two World Champion Typists, Ticking Ticker Layton and Bernice Be-Ready Whitney. Bill was now mayor of Wadena. When I had finished looking into the record of the Grads, I went outside and hailed a cab. What surprised me was that the hackie was an old lady. The cab she was driving was a faded, dilapidated Austin ... In this I returned to June the seventh, 1951. TOM ENDO. Page Sixteen gtuaenti' fy+uM.T.H.S.

Brian Evans Page Eighteen Q/Vfzy As another chapter in the annals of Taber High School is being written off, it is not amiss for all of us to remind ourselves of the basic purpose of the student activities of the year. Public education implies a public investment for public good. If this great public investment is to pay dividends, they must show up in a generation who have acquired a maturer social consciousness. We mature through experience. Social maturity demands maturity through social experiences. Thus, it becomes the duty of schools to provide for the growing students, opportunities for wholesome social experiences. Throughout the many and varied activities offered to the students of Taber High, rings a com­mon and basic chord, that of "maturity through social experiences." Whether it be participation in athletic activities, whether it be membership in musical productions, whether it be participation in hobby clubs, there have existed for the students, multiple opportunities to play and work with fellow students, while developing special skills in the chosen activity. The provision of opportunities to experience activities together with other students with common interests in functional and guided activities, was the basic aim of all activities conducted during the year. In them existed opportunities to strengthen already existing friendships, to make new friends, to tackle common projects, to share failures and successes jointly, to develop self-discipline in a social­ized group. In life-like situations, students tackled problems in life-like fashion. Perhaps some abused, at times, the opportunities so granted, but I feel sure that more profited by the activities. If students have gained power as social beings, if they have grown in social maturity, richer by that much is our school. Only by developing socially mature and socially conscious students, can we justify to the public the existence of our school. TED T. AO

As I live with Friends and time, I see nature choked By people out for gain At any cost The poor get poorer, The rich get richer, There is no end. So now I pose This question, Which is best? To dream, To think, To live, With friends and time. It's not for me Alone to say. DEDICATION MR. FRANK SEMAKA Some might scoff at the fuss made for Mr. Semaka, after all he is just a vice-principal. Not True! So much is owed by so many to this man. His life work as an educator exceeded the normal bounds of a teacher. He has advised us when we've been confused, encouraged us when we were in doubt, taught us when we did not know and punished us when we should have known better. His accomplishments and recognitions have been many and although his years as an educator runs into higher math his presence will be sorely missed. It is for these reasons and for numerous others that the students of Myers dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Frank Semaka, a scholar among scholars. Dennis Kunimoto - Class President There are mixed feelings I'm sure, at the close of this school year as we contemplate the retirement of our Mr. Semaka. The name of Frank Semaka has become synonymous with education in the high school in Taber. Whenever you think of the high school here, you naturally think of Mr. Semaka. At this time of year, I pay tribute to Mr. Semaka who has given the best years of his life to the youth of our community. He has given of himself freely wherever there was a need. He has over the years been an example to all of us exemplifying the qualities for which he stood; such things as honesty, integrity, devotion to duty and responsibility. Students could "count on him", teachers and administrators could rely on him, the school board and the public could always expect to receive a full measure of service from him. Anyone who became acquainted with him were better off for just having known him. It has been a privilege to have been acquainted with Frank Semaka for some twenty and plus years and to have worked and associated very closely with him for the past ten. In my association with him, I have found him to be co-operative, loyal, good-hearted and a true friend. In the years to come, I wish you, Frank Semaka, the best; for you and yours. Even though you are leaving the pro­fession and our place of employment I hope I have many more opportunities to associate with you. Rell G. Francis Vice-Principal I would like to commend the yearbook committee for their decision to dedicate this edition of the "Myers Dawn" to Mr. Semaka. Such recognition is well deserved. Over the past eight years, I have worked very closely with Mr. Semaka and have appreciated his many fine qualities. The two characteristics that to me are most out­standing are his dependability and his dedication to education. Students and teachers alike could always count on Mr. Semaka to have his work done on time and to have it well done. His concern for individual students was manifested in the many hours of earnest conversation and counselling with literally thousands of students during his more than thirty years of service. Mr. Semaka's exemplar conduct is a model that many students would do well to emulate. James L. George Superintendent PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE I would like to express my appreciation to all the staff and students for their assistance in various ways during my first year at W. R. Myers. The co-operation and support experienced has been very commendable. Generally, I think the relationship between staff and students has been quite satisfactory, considering that occasional conflicts of interest and irritations occur. Students' Councils (and their committees) have been most helpful in further developing a favorable atmosphere for learning. Their interest and co-operation is continually required for the school to function effectively. The work of staff committees has resulted in some changes to the Jr. High modified program and Jr. and Sr. High promotions policies. We expect that these changes will have beneficial effects for the students concerned. A full-scale semester system has been introduced in Sr. High, and continued on a limited basis in the Jr. High. We are expanding the Work Experience program and the Special Projects Credits. A W. R. Myers in Depth Study Guide has been published, and the School handbook has been revised for the orientation and guidance of teachers and students. Special thanks to the Yearbook Committee and the publishers of the Jr. and Sr. Newspapers. It takes a great deal of planning, responsibility, and work to produce quality publications which will contribute positively to the stature of the school, as well as provide an outlet for creative talents. These are tasks which are very time-consuming, and they may not always appear to be appreciated; but they have a significant role in the total school program -- requiring support and active participation. Our 1972 Graduation ceremony was a bright and colorful occasion. It included a farewell to our Mr. Semaka, teacher at W. R. Myers School for thirty years, (the last 12 years as Vice-principal), and a man who has left his mark in the minds and hearts of many students and teachers. We wish him every success in his retirement years. The Worth Commission Report suggests the possibility of many changes in Education. We will need to assess trends, recommendations, and innovations carefully in terms of educational objectives, in order to make appropriate decisions for the ultimate benefit of our students. We must not forget that the school has a two-fold purpose: to serve the needs and interests of the individual students, and to fulfill objectives of the larger society. Let us proceed into the 1972-'73 school year with courage and conviction. There are numerous jobs to be done well, whether it is in the teaching or the learning. May all of you set worthy goals, and make an earnest effort to achieve those goals. D. V.

This was done as a summer project. Councils put on a student exchange which was fairly good considering it was the first year. Council also went to Lethbridge and Coaldale to visit the High Schools and gain some new ideas. Council also sponsored several High School dances, and also saved the school from having all dances prohibited. KEYETTE CLUB The Keyette Club is a service group. We had a membership of thirty-three girls. Our executive consisted of Presidents: Cheryl Luehr, first half of year; and Mona Wilde, Secretary: Bronwyn Ellingson, Treasurer: Marilyn Winkler, and our Advisor: Mrs. Neilson. Some of the money raising activities we participated in this year were: bake sales, and the banquet for the Kiwanis Club. We also provided various services for the community. At Christmas time we donated money to the Fire Department for Christmas gifts for welfare children. Also at Christmas we worked along with the Key Club in assisting the Salvation Army. We also aided with the Blood Donors Clinic. At school we helped and did most of the planning for the Fort Benton Exchange.

The club successfully carried out four or five launches during the year, as well as going on a field trip to the University of Calgary to gain information on the Rocket experiments done on the Northern Lights. The Rocketry Club is open to all people in the school and we hope to see some better parti­cipation in future years.
