Many thanks go out to community for the continued support for this cancer fund raiser. We have raised over 7,000.00 once again. I would like all funds to be collected and given to me by October 15th.

Thank you to Lloyd Deitz (The Elevator) for donating the burgers, the Milo & District Ag Society for donating juice boxes, Godkin Farms for donating the buns and Milo Lions Club for donating the ice cream and for cooking and serving the burgers.
Thanks to Wendy Vannatta for helping me with setting up the registration and hanging all the t-shirts and to Amy Monner for helping with taking them all down.

TITLE: Milo Mutual Telephone Company fonds No.: MMT
DATE RANGE: 1934-1967
EXTENT: 10 cm of textual records and other material
ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY:
In the mid-1930s, as part of a series of economy measures, Alberta Government Telephones turned over many of its rural lines to local co-operatives, while continuing to set and oversee standards of maintenance and construction. The first telephone co-operative in the area was Lake McGregor Mutual Telephone Company, established in November, 1934, with initial shareholders required to take 25 shares, at 1.00 each.
An initial meeting to create a telephone co-operative east of Milo was held in late May, 1935. Following this meeting a canvas was made of prospective subscribers, and with the commitment of 31 individuals, Milo Mutual Telephone Company was organized in June, 1935. Shares were offered at $32.50 each, and it was agreed that the board would be able to "...access ail shareholders on a proportional basis for necessary labor to reconstruct and repair lines."
In April 1964, the three area mutual telephone companies, Lake McGregor, Queenstown and Milo, decided to amalgamate, and operate as Milo Mutual Telephone Company.
In June 1966, Milo Mutual Telephone Company decided to support a proposal that their operations be taken over by Alberta Government Telephones, and an auction was held in October of that year to dispose of the assets of the company.
SCOPE AND CONTENT:
The fonds consists of minute books, financial statements and ledger pages for both Milo Mutual Telephone Company and Lake McGregor Mutual Telephone Company (including pages from the time of the merger), individual account records and a set of Telephone Working Instructions (cl936). There are also six laminated blueprints and line maps.
The fonds has been arranged into the following series: Minutes, Financial, Account Records, Telephone Working Instructions, Blueprintsand Maps.
Item list
Laminated blueprint line map: "Revised"; indicating a 1957 Amendment to the agreement between Milo Exchange and Lake McGregor Rural Mutual Telephone Company; March 12,1957; 47 cm x 47 cm Laminated blueprint line map: indicating Amendments [1945,1947,1955,1957,1958,1960] to the agreement between Miio Exchange and Queenstown Rural Mutual Telephone Coy Ltd.; October 12,1960; 22 cm x 46 Hand-drawn line map: "Rough Map of Milo-District.

Look how far Telus, Rodgers and Bell have come since then.

Milo Library Archives ManagerGrandma and Grandpa
A grandmother is giving directions to her grown grandson who is coming to visit with his wife. "You come to the front door of the apartment. I am in apartment 301. There is a big panel at the front door. With your elbow, push button 301. I will buzz you in. Come inside, the elevator is on the right. Get in, and with your elbow, push 3. When you get out. I'm on the left.. With your elbow, hit my doorbell."
"Grandma, that sounds easy, but, why am I hitting all these buttons with my elbow?
"What........You’re coming empty handed?"
A Sicilian grandfather is dying, and calls his grandson to his side. "Guido my boy, I want to give you my chrome plated .38 snub nosed revolver so you will have something to remember me by." Confused, the grandson says "But grandfather, I don't really like guns. How about you leave me your Rolex watch instead?"
The grandfather painfully sits up in bed. "You listen to me boy. Some day your going to be running the family business, and have a beautiful wife, lots of money, a big house, and maybe a couple of
children. And then you come home early, and find your wife in bed
with another man. What are you going to do? Point to your Rolex
watch, and say "Time's up'?"
Remember, I before E except after C!
Except when your foreign neighbor Keith received eight counterfeit beige sleighs from feisty caffeinated weightlifters. Weird, huh?

Editorial
This year, as you have no doubt noticed by now, the advertising has
been placed in with the written material. This you may not like, but if
you once consider the fact that our advertisers pay the "lion's share" of the
expense, you may be a little more lenient.
Through the publication of this book we have tried to give you a
fair indication of what the students and the school year of 1949-50 were like.
We hope we have done so and that you will find a place for this
Edition of Dawn on your shelf of memories.

Though the Students' Union (woiting for the students to return to school from harvest) was a little slow swinging into action, by the first of October the executive had been elected. I extend my thanks to these members of the executive who so willingly co-operated with me and assisted me in carrying out the many Students' Union activities.
This year a great step forward was taken when we adopted the constitution, a thing which had been non-existant prior to this time. Throughout the General Assembly meetings much discussion about the clauses of the constitution took place—a fact indicative of the interest students felt in a well-defined constitution.
I admit that our House System during the post year was by no means operated perfectly, although many of the wrinkles were ironed out, still a few remain. It is our sincere hope that next year and in the years to come, keener participation and co-operation from the students will be forthcoming so that our goals may be achieved. For example, at times certain students exhibited irresponsibility and disrespect at our social functions. I trust, however, that the majority of the students appreciated the efforts of the House Social Committees and the Executive.
I am proud to say that financially, we have, at the time of writing, a credit bank balance of $250 made possible by the proceeds from the Students' Union sponsored dances, and the Variety Concert.
To the Advisor, Editor and Staff of cur Yearbook, I extend my compliments for their work. Willingly they gave their time and effort in making the Yearbook materialize.
In closing I would like to thank the students and the members of the Staff who gave of their time and effort to make the Students' Union a success.
DON FLEMING.

Principal's Message
What do we want in education? We want to learn how to distribute the best that is known and thought throughout the world, in order that we might start anew a current of fresh ideas. Friendship and friendliness is as much a part of education as is skill in technical courses or lines of work. To be educated one must be a cultivated individual who is an asset to society, though he is not too strongly tied to it because his education has set him free from it.
There are many signs by means of which one might be judged as to his education. Scholarship along the lines of one's chosen preference and its related fields. Good manners, fitting and becoming the individual and his station in life. Education demands that one is capable of conveying thought to others. This power is acquired only by extensive reading and study of good books along with leading a just and upright life. An educated individual must have a reverence for those things demanding reverence. An educated person must be devoted to things that are true. Modesty is an essential requisite of the educated man. Last, but not least, education implies the self-discipline of oneself.
There are many traps and pitfalls along life's way. Many of these are avoided by the educated man. His learning will not set him aside from society but will be a means of welcoming him into that society. The educated person will see so many sides to a situation that he will not take any of them and so will avoid argument and will not take a decided stand. It is only by being entirely broadminded that one can give his greatest service as a citizen of a democratic country. Finally, the educated man will never be content with what he has, because he will be aware that in this fast moving day and age he will soon be left behind. Education is not that which it put one during a few short years in school. Education is a difficult and life-long undertaking.
It is the hope and desire of the Taber High School to turn out graduates whose enlightenment has at least begun, who will in some small way be in a position to take a stand on important issues. It is hoped that their influence will be felt over an ever-widening sphere and that all will stand firmly for the maintenance of a just peace.

We are rapidly approaching, what to us is not just the close of another school term, but the
close of one of the most important parts of our lives; for we shall be leaving school, some to further
advanced education, others to pursue employment. But whatever the future has in store for us, the
knowledge which we have gained during the past twelve years will prove invaluable. We are now experiencing
that difficult phase of life during which we must wisely choose cur life's tasks. Doctor, teacher,
farmer, engineer, stenographer, no matter what field we select our past education will serve as a stepping
stone to our careers.
Along with cur regular school work, we have learned to make friendlier associations with our
fellow students, and by participating in various sports, we have learned a sense of fair play.
Bringing to mind the students of those dreadful war years, we realize we are indeed fortunate
to have come so fat. The majority of wartime students, those who had to take the places of their
fathers or brothers at home, and those who joined the armed forces themselves, were handicapped in
their quest for a better education. We are deeply thankful for the opportunity which has been presented
to us. But by no means are we at the end of our education for the path of learning has no end. As
we continue up that path, school day memories will grow more dear. And now that we must leave we are
beginning to appreciate what school has meant to us. Teachers, who have had faith in our potentialities,
parents, who have made sacrifices so that we might attend school, and citizens, who have paid the
taxes to make our education possible, we sincerely pray that we will never betray your faith in us.
So—thank you and goodbye T.H S. Welcome whatever the future may bring.

After a long association with the 1950 Graduating Class
I sincerely feel that we deserve what we have gained from
the years spent together. Our crimes appear to be those of
omission rather than those of commission. The fear was
not that we would do wrong, but that we would do nothing.
Yet we must have done at least a minimum for we have
arrived at what is perhaps the highlight of our youth—the
eve of graduation.
At last, after twelve long years of school—we, the recruits
of 1938, take our turn as the 35th class to graduate from
Taber High School.
Although I remember very little of our first four or five
years of school life, I'm sure we were no more of a trial
to our teachers and each other, than in later years.
Up to and including Grade Eight was considered public
school in our time and we were more or less deprived of
the close relationship now offered by the Junior High School
organizations.
Entering Grade Nine seemingly changed our lives since
we were then considered to be in High School. Besides this,
it was in Grade Nine that we became acquainted with those
who entered our school from country points, such as Wadena
and Reliance, when the large school division was formed.
From what I can remember, Grade Ten pased quietly and
pleasantly but at the end our principal, Mr. L. G. Hall, who
had seen us through several years of our schooling, left us
for the rugged and cold territory of Lac La Biche. The following
term Mr. H. B. Myers became our principal.
Although many joined our ranks through the years, an
almost equal number dropped out somewhere along the wayside.
From among those we lost, some moved to other schools,
others merely went to take up jobs, while still others entered
married life. Also in July of 1948, we were saddened by the
death of one of our classmates, Toshiye Sakiyama. Although
we felt sorriest for Yasuko, her almost inseparable pal, we all
missed her cheery smile and gay manner.
In Grade Eleven we saw the Barnwell grade Twelves join
our happy union and by the time we arrived in Grade Twelve
the rest of Barnwell High School was inaugurated as a part
of our school.
As is customary and expected, the Graduates have been
the leaders of the Student Body, as many of us held such
executive positions as President, Secretary, Social Director, or
were on the executives of the Houses.
All in all I see no reason why we should not have enjoyed
our school days, despite trials and troubles which we have
inflicted upon our various teachers, and the burdens which
these teachers, in turn, have inflicted on us. There are many
memorable bright spots along the way, among which are the
memories of the numerous constantly changing romances that
began and usually ended, as well, before long. Others are the
Initiations, the Sadie Hawkin's days, the laughs that sometimes
crept into even serious study periods, the Proms, each one we
were sure was better than the last, with the ultimate one of
course yet to come—our Graduation Prom.
Looking back now, there can be no doubt that we—the
1950 Graduates of Taber High School—have had a very successful
school career as well as acquiring a bund

Copyright Corner, November/December 2023
More on Debunking Disinformation About Educational Fair Dealing
One of the topics considered In the previous column was how copyright advisors and librarians have been rebutting claims bordering on disinformation about why most of Canada’s educational institutions outside of Quebec no longer engage in blanket collective licensing for textual works. Among the examples I provided was “Don’t Blame Copyright for Declining Revenue. It Won’t Help Authors,” a statement by the Canadian Federation of Library Associations (CFLA).
In a response, “CFLA Statement Contains Damaging Inaccuracies,” the Writers’ Union of Canada (TWUC) suggests CFLA’s statement positions authors and publishers as “attackers” of libraries, and views some of the sources relied on by CFLA to be “anti-copyright activists.” This is a troubling turn of events, because it threatens to make relevant facts even more difficult to discern for non-specialists, which, in turn, intensifies the challenge for policymakers to make evidence-based decisions on copyright law amendments or reform that are in the public interest.
So I was deeply grateful to see another viewpoint offered up that provides facts and historical context for this debate on a blog entitled Fair Duty. The author, Meera Nair, Copyright Officer at NAIT, was inspired by the CFLA and TWUC statements to pull together a week-long series of posts on her independent copyright blog that draw on her in-depth knowledge of the social forces that have shaped the development of Canadian copyright law and the users’ right of fair dealing. I recommend this series to anyone who wishes to enrich their understanding of how educational copying has evolved over the past several decades.
• Part 1 – Prologue
• Part 2 – Uncovering the problem
• Part 3 – Where did the money go?
• Part 4 – Unkept promises, promises impossible to keep
• Part 5 – The Canadian way
• Part 6 – A better game
• Epilogue
Incidentally, when the U of L copyright office receives permissions clearance requests for book chapters to be used as course materials, we always check to see if the Library owns a multi-user e-book version or if such a version is available for us to purchase. Part 2 of the above series discusses three examples of Canadian books that might be used as post-secondary course materials – Downtown Canada (2005), Shut Up, He Explained (2007), and Jonny Appleseed (2018). It so happens that each of these three books is permanently available to U of L users through the Library in e-book format allowing for unlimited concurrent users.

More on Copyright and Generative AI
Over the past month or so we have seen some further developments in the copyright and generative AI sphere. Most notably, the Government of Canada launched an online form-based public consultation in mid-October to invite comment from creators and users in four areas:
• technical evidence (e.g., How does your organization access and collect copyright-protected content, and encode it in training datasets?)
• text and data mining (e.g., If the Government were to amend the Act to clarify the scope of permissible TDM activities, what should be its scope and safeguards?)
• authorship and ownership (e.g., Is the uncertainty surrounding authorship or ownership of AI-assisted and AI-generated works impacting the development of AI technologies?)
• infringement and liability (e.g., Are there concerns about existing legal tests for demonstrating that an AI-generated work infringes copyright?)
The relatively brief consultation period (December 4 closing date) allowed little time to set up a process to consult with the U of L research community in order to gather input on the complex issues identified in the Government’s online form. However, since questions and conundrums regarding copyright and generative AI will most certainly be with us for at least the next several years, I am interested in connecting with U of L researchers who are working with or creating generative AI tools regarding potential intersections between their work and copyright. Please reach out if you or any of your students are working in this area and would like to chat with me.
If you would like to acquire a better understanding about the intersections between copyright and generative AI but are not sure where to start, I have added a new FAQ to the University’s Copyright website, Does copyright apply to generative AI? Spoiler alert: I offer no answers to the question! But this FAQ suggests some sources that provide overviews of the theoretical issues, current state of play regarding issues caught up in recent lawsuits, and two sources that take an “under the hood” look at just how generative AI works.
As always, feel free to reach out if you would like some help with a copyright conundrum in your teaching or research. Other articles in this bimonthly column are available here.

MRS. ELIZABETH SOUTZO
Princess Elizabeth Soutzo, Director of Nursing at the General Hospital, Taber, Alberta, passed away on December 23, 1963 following a brief illness.
Mrs. Soutzo was born in Romania in 1888 and graduated from the Red Cross Nursing School Military Hospital in Bucharest, Romania in 1913. During her early education she became fluent in Romanian, French, English, Italian, and Greek languages.
Mrs. Soutzo served her country and the nursing profession with distinction as a volunteer nurse (Red Cross) during two wars and was decorated for her service. During the years 1945 to 1947 she directed Red Cross relief services for ten provinces of Romania.
She was well known in International Red Cross circles having worked with delegates from the American, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian Red Cross societies. She was active in the "Save the Children Fund” and the campaign against typhus and tuberculosis. As a member of the Florence Nightingale International Foundation, she represented her country at the General Meeting of the Grand Council in London, England in 1946.
With the change of government in Romania, she was forced to flee in 1948 and established residence at the Ricardo Ranch near Calgary. She spoke little of the hardships and the disappointments during the troubled years in her own country. Certainly she held no bitterness.
Her interest in the profession continued in Alberta. She became registered in the A. A.R. N. in 1951, was active in her local Chapter, and Chairman of the A. A. R. N. Sub-committee on Nursing Service, 1961-1963. She served as Matron of the Little Bow Hospital, Carmangay, from 1951 to 1953 and in 1955 accepted the position of Director of Nursing at the 71 bed General Hospital at Taber. She held this position at the time of her death. An affiliation in rural hospital nursing was arranged for students of the Calgary General Hospital School of Nursing at the Taber Hospital while she was director.
As a registered nurse and a director of nursing, the welfare of her patients was uppermost in her mind. She had unlimited energy, her desire to work was almost beyond her physical capacity. She set as a goal the accreditation of the Taber General Hospital. Constant work and enthusiasm for five or six years was this goal reached only a few weeks before her illness.
At a memorial service in tribute to Mrs. Soutzo, Dr. J. S. Gibbings, Chairman of the Medical Staff, Taber General Hospital, stated: "I think that in our lives we could take a leaf from Mrs. Soutzo's book, that of setting an almost impossible goal for ourselves and working diligently to attain that goal. I feel that we of the hospital staff can give no more fitting memorial to Mrs. Soutzo than to continue to work to keep 'her' hospital accredited. She would ask for nothing more. Mrs. Soutzo will be greatly missed but as Alfred, Lord Tennyson said 'To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die'. ":0

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
At this time of year, the end of another school term, we look back at the achievements of a crowded and
at times a difficult year. At the same time we look forward to the year's final examinations and beyond to the
future, to our own future as individuals and to the future of our school.
Our achievements are adequately catalogued in this yearbook, so I will single out only one for special
comment. The first annual display of home economics, shop, and art work was an outstanding show of the
breadth and depth of talent that our students and teachers possess. The girls' fashion display was a colorful,
smoothly presented programme that delighted all who saw it. The range of projects made in our shop and classes
was as impressive as the high standard of workmanship shown on everything from billfolds to boats. Our appreciation
of the art exhibition is the best shown by the fact that several paintings are to be framed and hung about the
school. The total effect of the three displays was extremely impressive, but already we are saying, "Wait till
next May!"
Next term will bring a number of other improvements and new developments, besides a bigger and better
display. Phase one of our building programme will be completed; students will be making use of the facilities of
the new south east wing and the language laboratory recently installed in the high school building. The new
offices will be completed and our trial-run over. Plans will be completed for the new commercial department.
Thus we shall be in a position to offer a greater range and a greater degree of specialization in non-academic
subjects. Other programme changes we hope to intorduce will include the establishment of a complete guidance
programme, the introduction of team teaching, and the use of a seven period timetable to give more tuition
time in each course.
The building and the programme are expanding and developing, but what of the student? What part will he
play in the development of his school? The most essential need is for each junior and senior high school student
to shoulder his share of responsibility for his own education. Far too often students take the easy way out; they
'pass the buck' and make any one of a number of stock excuses for their lack of success: "the teacher isn't any
good", "the teachers pick on me", are commonly used. These are the excuses of the weak, the lazy, or the
immature. It simply is not good enough to make excuses. If we fail, it is our own fault and the sooner we
accept this responsibility the sooner Myers High will become the finest school in the South. This should be our
goal; to reach it we shall need the fullest co-operation from each student, parent, and teacher. With such cooperation
we cannot fail.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
I would like to extend to Mr. Jepson, Mr. Semaka, faculty members, and the student body, my
thanks for their respective efforts in making the past year a successful one -- socially and academically.
I have enjoyed working with the student executive and in striving to provide W. R. Myers High
School with many necessary school functions. I hope that you all have enjoyed the school year of 1963-
1964 and will then make the most of the years to come.
To the future student executives go my sincere wishes that their endeavors to make the school an
outstanding one are a complete success.
RAY TOWLE
GRADUATION
ROMAN BATORSKI always excelled
In everything he ever attempted
Actually could never be expelled
Because he sure wanted to learn.
DAVID BENNETT toasted the teachers
And thanked them for the swap
"They gave us help with all we did
While I was in the shop. ..."
HEATHER BOWMAN, rather petite
Was striving for Senior Matric
Besides Math 30, she had to meet
The problems of Bug 30.
FLORIAN COOK had a fine time
During his Senior year
Between "herding" taxis and buses
He was prepared when June drew near.
GEORGE DERKSON worked and worked
But all was to avail
For when he wrote his June exams
He found it impossible to fail.
LINDA FEHR remained obscure
From Myers "clubby" life
But she used her talents, to be sure
In the Glee Club, as a soprano.
WILLIAM FERGUSON, "Bill we say
Drove a bus for the board
But this didn't hinder his ways
He enjoyed the "escape" from school.
SHEILA FISHER was bound to pass
Cuz she always kept up with the
rest of the class.
Her musical talent was something
to applaud,
'Til once in Math 30, she sang
out loud.
CAROLINE FRIESEN, a devoted
Glee Clubber
Continued to pursue her ambition
Determined to go "Olds” next year
Home Economics is the reason.
JOAN GIBBINGS, ambitions high
Is always found at her homework
Found Grade 12 as easy as pie
With no play and all work.
GLORIA GOUGH, good at piano
Was a devoted, hard-working gal
But she always had time, that is
as a rule
To do all her schoolwork as well.
ELAINE GRAHAM perked up a group
With many nonchalant sayings
As an active Glee Clubber, too,
She still had the time for her school.
DAVID GREENO, a Wrentham lad
Added a lot to this school
But complained that he had never grown
Accustomed to the Math 30 rule.
MARVIN GUENTER is a pretty good talker
Always bribing Mrs. Thomas with candy
But that didn't do him much good
So he drove bus when it was handy.
FLORENCE HALMA, a Barnwell product
Devoted her time to cramming. . .
For Bug, French, Math and the like
Because Keyettes could not be forgotten.
CATHERINE HAMMAN, a music scholar
Plans on University next fall,
Her Keyette work has been devoted
But her work didn't suffer at all.
DONNA HENDERSON, pert and petite
Always presented herself very neat
But this quality was only a booster
To help with her plan for the future.
LARRY HOOGE favored Math 30
He seldom went asunder,
Now he expects an engineering degree
For French is impossibly hard.
JANYCE INGRAM, future nurse
Had ambitions to be fulfilled
So she worked her hardest to, of course
Get out of Grade 12 first.
IRENE ITO, with quiet aplomp
Became the Queen at the Sweetheart Prom;
But this didn't interfere with her school,
She still gets pretty good marks as a rule.
ALMA JENSEN didn't like tests
And usually stayed away
But he passed with all the rest
Until one fine summer day.
TRUDY JENSEN is always thinking
University is her style,
But Taber Bakery and horses, we're
thinking
Take up a lot of her time.
KENT JESPERSEN is a basketball whiz
A present Globetrotter star;
And he does well in Key Club too
His aspirations are fulfilled thus far.
BARRY KINNIBURGH, the man with the
vest,
Comes to school tardy
Like all the rest
Who take it in their stride.
NOEL KUNST leads a "quiet" life
His ambitions surpass his instincts
No doubt he's beset by emotional strife
With Key Club on the brain.
RONALD LAYTON seems pretty
determined
To get his education
But Social 30 has not, he's found,
Deserved his consideration.
LAURENCE MARRIOTT, fairly
good-natured,
Was always out for a laugh;
Also an active Key Club member,
That's not saying much for his
Math.
KEN MC KIBBEN may drive a van,
And quite enjoy the change;
He'll probably turn to farming land
But what’s this about trains?
NORMAN MEYER kept to himself
The best part of this year
Like all well-trained students of
MHS
He anticipates college next year.
GERALDINE MURPHY, a Keyette
at heart,
Always helped to do her part;
With a friendly smile and a little
hair bow,
"Humph” was always on the go.
CHERYL NELSON, a Meyers newcomer,
Has certainly been well-trained
here;
She's going to University in the
fall,
Let's worry about that next year.
NEIL NORDQUIST can't make up
his mind
About Engineering and Education,
But as a Key member he'll find
Intramurals aren't his vocation.
CARL PARRY, "Buddy" to all,
Came back to Myers High this fall;
As Drill Leader of Taber Squadron,
Air Cadets really kept him hoppin'.
MARY PAWLOWSKI is quite a gal,
She's kind and considerate as well;
She takes a dim interest in Rm. 22,
That's her home room, what else
can she do?
JUNE PERINI is a friend to all,
But detests Bug 32;
Cuz she's picked Junior College
for fall,
We know that she'll get through.
ALEX PUPP, "Zolt" we say,
Will be in LJC next year;
We don't know what he plans to take
But mechanics is our guess.
RAYMOND "Jack” PYNE, migrating
south,
Will attend college in the States;
And with his bus driver's know-how
He's not liable to make mistakes.
DORA REITSMA, our Social Convener,
Always found time for Keyettes;
She may be going to LJC or
Excel at basketball yet.
DIANA ROSS could not be found.
At the time we took this survey;
But we know she won't be around
To suffer another year.
ELEANOR SCHMIDT, our female class
brain,
Has personality hard to obtain;
Her helpfulness to all she knew
Made her the Keyette Treasurer, too,
MARGARET SEBOK only took part
In Glee clubbing this year
But you could find her in the Gym
At noons throughout the year.
JOANNE SEKIYA isn't certain
About plans for next term
But her strong will can only make
Her final decision firm.
VALENTINA SHWORAN was loyal to
Keyettes,
We have never known of her
To walk away from any work,
She'll be a success for sure.
LAURIE STUBBERT is always on hand
With loads of good encouragement
As Liaison Officer and Keyetter too
Math 30 is her only predicament.
BARBARA TADA has the artist's touch
She does her work and rarely says much,
Her marks indicate she is pretty smart,
too
Barb's sure an asset to Room 22.
ROGER TESHIMA is an A-l type guy,
A hard-working person with a Math 30
eye;
As Student Union "moneyman" and Key
Club boss.
His departure will leave Myers High at
a loss.
CAROLYN TOLTON has one favourite
pastime,
Of sitting in Math class--it'H be the
last time;
Nursing is her ambition for the future,
That is, if she doesn't stay around.
RAY TOWLE, our number one guy,
Takes Physics 30 to pass the time;
He belongs to Key Club and...
His friendliness is simply grand.
ALBERT TSUJI, the teachers' pest.
Has much to be acclaimed lest
You get the wrong impression, but
His marks, then ping-pong, are the best.
HILDA VAN SPEONSEN, whose name
is too long,
To fit into a rhyme, excelled in school;
It was her rule...
To get to Keyettes in time.
VICTORIA WRIGHT has made her place
As a great pianist and singer.
With University plans next term
She'll probably teach for sure.
ELAINE WYROSTOK, our Yearbook gal,
Was the Keyette boss as well;
She always had time for others.
Leaving little for herself.
VALEDICTORY MESSAGE
Mistress of Ceremonies, Honored Guests, Parents, Teachers, and Fellow Graduands:
A little more than a decade ago we began a new phase in our lives, a phase which was to take us
through twelve years of education. We not only learned from books but we also gained our knowledge
from our teachers, our parents, our friends and ministers. Words such as "honesty", "faith", and
"respect" have become meaningful to us. We have learned how to get along with our fellow man,
because without this we would have been lost in the world, for what is the world but a community of
people. As we grew older, the meaning of life came closer to us. We learned more and more about
what life really is. We have now reached the point in our lives where we must go forth to make our
contribution to the world and with all the education and guidance we have received we must not fail
those who gave it to us, let alone ourselves.
As we build ourselves, laying brick upon brick, reaching upward, we look back and see the people
who have laid the foundation. To our parents we will be forever grateful for their words of encouragement,
their guidance, and understanding. To the teachers who through their perseverance and devotion
gave us the knowledge; and to our friends who added so much enjoyment and championship to our lives,
we are deeply in debt.
And now this phase of our lives is coming to a close. All the familiar things that have been with
us for the past twelve years; all the things we have taken for granted will be gone. But life moves on
and so we too move on leaving behind cherished memories, looking with hope to the future. The world
is laid at our feet and all we have to do is to choose the right steps. These will be the hardest steps we
will ever take. They may be filled with constant struggles, but the attainment of our goals will outweigh
any hardships we may have to endure. And as we step into the future; we must keep in mind how
important education, fellowship, and the love for mankind are, for without these men they are but toys
of time.
And so tonight we bid farewell but with smiles on our lips for the future lies ahead.

CLASS HISTORY
Dionysus, a Greek historian once stated that "history is philosophy taught by examples." So it is with the
history of our '64 graduating class.
In 1952 the first post war generation began its formal education. In Barnwell there collected a troop of
agreeable, well-mannered children; Dr. Hamman enrolled the best spellers (proven by the famous Sizzler spelling
team). The dormitory enrolled all the six year old scholars and Kinniburgh naturally took all the kiddies called
Kinniburgh. But the Southside had the best baseball players, the champion marbleshooters and the best fighters
in town. Each of these groups remained isolated in their own school throughout the six years of elementary school
and it was these years that taught us by examples the value of friendship and the meaning of truth.
The next year we left with much foreboding to join forces with our rival schools for the noble cause of
antagonizing the Junior High teachers at Central. We found getting along with each other wasn't so bad after all
and since there wasn't too much more general damage that could be done to old Central that hadn't been done
already if not by receding classes, then surely by our parents or grandparents, we joyfully occupied ourselves for
the next two years tearing the place down brick by brick. The experiences we faced there added further to our
growing opinions of life, for it was then that we learned citizenship and leadership through student government
and sportsmanship through house leagues.
From Central we moved to the new school, the first class to initiate Myers Junior High. Cheerfully we
carved our initials in the desks and spilled unwashable ink on the floors to give it that used look. But we were
proud of the new school and it was there in Grade 9 that we got our first taste of the high school responsibilities
we were to soon undertake.
We started high school in '62 and there we were on the bottom of the pile again. Unassumingly and with
an air of innocent expectancy, we looked forward to Grade 10 initiation only to go through the worst tortures
known to man. However, an initiate summed it up well when he said, "Well, some of those Grade 12's have
been here so long it's the only enjoyment they have left in life."
Then Grade 11 - that's the year we did all the work the Grade 12's were too busy to do and the Grade 10's
didn't know how to do. And finally 1964, and Grade 12. Perhaps the greatest experience you face here is going
to Math. 30 every day so Mr. Semaka can call you a "silly galoot with as much mathematical sense as a backwards
aborigine", or, more endearing yet, "an utter village idiot". But we've grown up a lot in the last three
years and added further to our philosophy: tolerance, perspective, and contrary to Mr. Jepson's opinion, selfdiscipline.
Now the history of this group as a whole is finished. As well as examples of learning we can also
look back on some real fun: like the time in Grade 9 we had a fire drill and someone ran back to the school to
shut off a bunsen burner; or the time we thought we'd confuse the biology teacher by sneaking some hard boiled
eggs into the lab incubator, or the time a boy wore Mr. Semaka's fur cap to Math class, or even the beard
contest the Grade 12 boys had this year.
Yes, we’ve had fun and we've learned, and we'll profit by every experience we’ve met in the last 12 years;
for we have been taught the basic philosophies of life by examples in a mass fellowship we'll not experience again
in just the same way.
In closing, I'd like to extend my best wishes to every one of my fellow graduands for their future plans.

Upon graduating from Grade 12 after six long years of trying, I finally took Mr. Semaka's advice and "got
lost”. Following several years of aimless wandering, I found myself in front of the door of the monastery atop
Sacred Mount Fujiyama. There, beside the door, was a dormant volcano. Just as I peered inside this crater, for
some unknown reason, it suddenly erupted and spewed scalding sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide in my face.
In a flash I was unconscious; and upon awakening I looked around and saw I was in the year 1990. Strangely
enough, I was at a reunion of the class of '64 at my alma mater, W. R. Myers. Almost everyone I had known was
there.
ROMAN BATORSKI had become a wealthy man as a second hand dealer in used space capsules. He devised
a method of financing which gave the customer 5 light years to pay.
DAVID BENNETT was an inventor of great renown. He invented a tractor that ran on used

It Is a time when the girls learn to

ADMINISTRATION
^NOPALS ^SSA(Z
YEARBOOK 197^
It is always a pleasure to commend the
yearbook committee and advisor for their
fine efforts on behalf of the school.
We recognize that the production of a
quality publication does not come easily.
The editor especially has a heavy responsibility
with the general format,
specific layouts, and deadlines.
One of our endeavors this year has
been the development of a statement of
Philosophy and Objectives for W.R. Myers
School. This statement will help to
provide a sense of direction and purpose
in the formulation of programs and
policies at the school and classroom
levels.
We must continually examine what is
being done in the school in terms of
priority needs, student interests and
capabilities, and resourses in orser to
make the educational process as meaningful
as possible. A concern at present
is just how far we should go on pro -
viding credits for work experience,
special projects, and possibly other
non-class types of activities which
result in decreased enrolments in other
parts of the program.
Although the departmenal (matriculation)
exams were abolished last
year there is no apparent decrease in the
quality of Instruction or learning in
these courses. Most teachers and students
are pleased with the resulting greater freedom and responsibility in the
selection and relative emphasis of course topics.
There does not appear to be a trend developing for students to obtain only the
minimum requirements for a high school diploma (100 credits) or for university
admission. The requirements for admission to post-secondary institutions have
become more flexible with, for example, mosr faculties at the university presently
requiring only five grade 12 matriculation subjects.
I would like to encourage all of our students to use every opportunity here in
developing their talents, not to be satisfied with the minimum in acheivement or
total progress, and to accept a major responsibility for their learning.
To the Grads of /?4, our best wishes go with you; and we trust that you will
look back with pride on your accomplishments here, and will face the future with
a high degree of confidence and conviction.

Student Life at W.R. Myers
If you could take all your classes anywhere in the
school, where would it be and why?
“I would take them all up by my locker, because I’m kind of lazy.”
- Jeff McClung
“On the first floor so you don’t have to walk up the stairs.” - Lance
Nielsen
“I would take all my classes in the gym because I could always be
practising my foul shots.” - Dugan Broadfoot
What place in the school provided the spot for your
most embarrassing moment?
“Anna pulled my shorts down in the gym in front of the girls’ basketball
team.” - Ryan Jensen
“In the gym when I ran into the bleachers.” - Brad Kercher

Quite a large number of our students work down town. It is
really hard to walk into a store in Taber and not see someone
from our school. The following are the results from our after
school survey.
What is your after school job? If you could have any job what
would it be? Craig Pollock: “I’m busy flipping burgers at A &
W.” Ian Aitchison: “I would just like receiving money in the
mail.”
What do you do with the money you make from your job?
If you don’t have a job, what would you do with the money
you would have? Caryanne Chapple: “I’m saving to buy a new
set of wheels and I use it for weekend stuff (If you know what
I mean). ” Mark Nelson: “I buy Kazoos to add to my collection. ”
Does your job interfere with your social life and/or school?
Laura Sawatzky: “No, I don’t do homework.” Anita Froese: “It
would a little but mostly my social life. I would have to learn
to deal with it.”
Why or why don’t you have an after school job? Derrick
Kromm: “I’m too dedicated to school.” Cory Carlin: So, I have
money. Not all kids have parents willing to give them money
all the time.”
What do your parents think of you having or not having a
job? Marnie Atwood: “They think I’m lazy.” Amber Sinclair: “My
mom likes it because it keeps me busy and teaches me about
spending my money.”

Just Been Hanging Around
Spare classes are allowed to Grade 11 and 12’s
only. Some choose to have them if they have room
in their schedule. The spare class gives them a break
from the classroom.
“Most of the time during my spare class I go to
the library and do homework”, explained Cornelius
Wiebe.
Donelle Andrus revealed “sometimes I hang out
at Mr. Gammon’s house.”
Sit and wait for the bus or work for money at my
job”, Ian Anderson commented.
Michelle Jensen and Amber Sinclair both agree
driving in circles, eating and sleeping are the best
ways to spend their spare class.
Visiting friends or watching soaps is what Jamie
Pyne does.
Shannon Buchta stated he goes home.
Bryan Schramm either sleeps or does homework
in Del’s classroom.
“I do absolutely nothing”, says Scott Siemens.

Pep rallies are only one of the many highlights of our high school years.
It lets us have a break in our days of hard work. During the pep rallies
students can reveal themselves to their classmates and the teachers. A quiet
student might come out as a really outgoing person. The students that are
shy just sit on the bleachers and watch the action. The teachers also redeem
themselves to the students and fellow teachers. The new teachers really
show off when they try to act like the students. We recently sent out a survey
about the pep rallies. The first question was:
What is your favorite thing about pep rallies? Kevin Baker,
Grade 12, replied, “We can laugh at the teachers and not get in trouble.”
Various other Grade 12’s replied, “Just the part of getting out of class.”
What activities would you include iff you were in charge of
the next pep rally? Dallin Evanson, Grade 12, replied, “Have a good
old pie eating contest.” Sharia Eldridge, Grade 12, replied, “Anything that
makes a mess.”
Who do you like to participate the most in pep rallies? Blair
Kover, Grade 12, replied, “People who aren’t afraid to make a fool of
themselves. Various Grade 12’s replied, “The teachers.”
What was your favorite pep rally so far? Bo Hall, Grade 12,
replied, “Last year’s mud wrestling in the pudding.” Dana Carlsen, Grade
12, replied, “The Halloween one this year.”

There is a wide variety of classes at W.R. Myers High School.
This survey is on some of those classes.
How do you pass time while still looking attentive? “Try not to
snore!”, said Spencer Hart. “1 look at the teacher every second so
it looks as though I’m listening,” revealed Cory Titterington.
How do you get from one side of the school to the other in only
five minutes for the break between classes? “Run as if the second
bell had run,” said Brad Potiuk.
What are some frustrations that you’ve encountered this year
writing an essay for any class? “As I was sitting in class one time
and thinking of what to write, suddenly a panel from the ceiling
fell on my head! The resulting splatters of blood on my paper made
an interesting statement in Morse code. I quickly wrote it down
before I passed out,” said Ian Aitchison.

The students’ at W.R. Myers’ High School represent fads and fashions
nationwide. All the students here dress as they feel and express
themselves freely. Although not everyone agrees with the varying opinions,
dressing is a way of life and the way you dress represents you.
A survey was handed out to share these opinions. When the question
of “why do you dress the way you do?” was asked, Dugan Broadfoot
claimed that the girls like it, whereas Scott Siemens says its because he’s
“O’ so cool.” Jody Francis chooses her clothing because they’re not in
the laundry. When asked where do you shop, Cory Carlin replied,
“whereever the road takes me.” Well, the road takes Lance Nielsen to
Zellers in Lethbridge. Shannon Buchta likes to shop at 7-11 and C.J.’s
although he won’t find any clothes there. Anita Froese shops at Charisma
and her brothers’ closet. Jeff McClung states that he doesn’t talk to his
parents so he is unable to find out how his parents feel about the way
he dresses. Scott Siemens replied, “Well, I’m not exactly sure but if they
say something I will have to hurt them.” I don’t think his parents would
agree. The last question that was asked was “What type of clothing suits
you best?” Brad Murray stated that his type of clothing is some that he
likes and some that you don’t. Jeff McClung says that he likes anything
that is not brand name along with clothing that shows he doesn’t want
to associate with others. As you can tell, the individuality here at Myers
is what makes our school so unique. Because of this, very few people
can compete with our students.

How Long Has It
Been There?
AND THE SURVEY SAYS
What is your favorite thing to do at lunch? Tom replied
“take people’s lunch money.”
What is your favorite food item from the cafeteria?
Spencer Hart replied “A deli wedge but I’ve only had 1/15 of one
because they are always gone and I like slurpees.”
What do you do when you don’t have any money?
Darren Kormos replied “Bum money from Jimmy Lucus.” (Hit him
up, he’s good for it.)
What is the worst thing you ever ate from the cafeteria?
Nick Pyrch said, “whatever they sweep up off the floor and
call mystery meat special.”

"CONJUNCTUM POSSUMUS"'
( Together we can)
A great country is made of great men. Dr. Alfred Hamman was one
such man. He pioneered in medicine and did all he could to help people
in the Taber district. Graduating as an M.D. from the University of
Manitoba, he came to Taber in 1909 to hang out his shingle (which can
still be seen at his home) and begin the hard work of a country doctor
In accordance with the times, Dr. Hamman was often called upon to
answer sick calls from people many miles out on the lonely prairie.
After he had treated the patient, Dr. Hamman would stay long ' hours
with him until certain he could do no more. This endeared him to many
people.
Dr. Hamman soon became known to the people of Taber, and after
a few years he was elected to the school board. He worked on it for
many years, devoting much time and energy. In 1955 Dr. Hamman was
recognized for his many services to Taber when the "Dr. Hamman School"
was officially opened by him. But more than this he is remembered by
the warmth and respect with which the people of Taber remember him.
In his later years Dr. Hamman still remained a living monument to the
hardship and courage of Canada's early pioneers.
DIVISIONAL SCHOOL BOARD
Ben Platt, Ivan Steves, Neil Purvis, (Superintendent);
Dr. Enman , C.R. Rushford, (Chairman); Arnold Odland,
E.A. Olafson, M.V. Crumley, (Secretary-Treasurer).
DUTIES OF OUR DIVISIONAL BOARD
The general duties of the trustees are to take
care of the educational affairs of the division. The
Board’s powers are limited by the School Act. Among
other things they control the school building program,
the purchase of equipment and supplies, the appointment
of teachers, principals, and all other school personnel,
the preparation of the budget, the conveying
of school pupils, the arrangement of salaries and other
items furthering the interests of education in the
Division.
PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
In high school, academic excellence is largely
dependent upon study. Study, to a large extent, is
drudgery and loneliness. However, since it is
central to learning every student who shoulders
his proper responsibility, studies.
There are other responsibilities that a
student must carry in high school and in later life.
These are not lonely activities, such as study, but
are carried out in cooperation with fellow students.
Some of these activities are linked with classes and
some are linked with student activities.
This Yearbook is an excellent example of a project
which is brought to completion through a group.
It is obvious that if the group is a numerous one,
if it is enthusiastic and no one individual shirks
his task, then the load upon the individual is lightened
and the Yearbook is generally a superior
product.
A. D. SELINGER
The Taber High School Yearbook is obviously such a superior product..
It is equally obvious that it has not yet attained perfection, nor is it
likely to do so. But if we wish to iricrease its quality, we must have more
assistance in producing it; everyone in the school must assume some responsibility
for this ceaseless striving toward perfection.
At the same time let us not neglect other school activities and responsibilities;
but apply this same principle of cooperation and assumption
of responsibility to all activities of the student. In this manner not
only shall we become the best high school in Alberta but each of us shall
have helped in the fulfillment of our own aims.

MESSAGE
Again we are approaching the end of another
school year and a time for saying of good-byes.
For some another milestone has been reached. A
change in routine will be necessary for those who
are leaving schooling, a different environment for
those who are continuing on to higher education.
But for all in the years to come a looking back on
the past with mixed reactions.
It is my sincerest hope that you will be
prepared to travel with confidence on whatever
branch of the road of life you choose to follow,
so that you will be able to look back on your
life; and so that we can look back with pride t
the graduates for 1958 from this school.

EDITORIAL
Why have a Yearbook? Is it just another fad? I know.' It's
something all high schools have.' No.' To us the staff who have toiled
so many long hours and spent so much time and energy on organizing the
Yearbook for 1957-1958, this was and is more than just another job.
We wanted this volume to be a treasure-house of fond memories and constructive
ideas. These fond memories of sports such as curling, classes
when we made CL2, clubs for whom we worked so hard, Christmas and Easter
Proms, and outings such as the Grade XI students enjoyed in May; these
are ours and yours to share.
The messages from our school officials and student representatives
will provide guidance for higher goals. Years from now, a careful reading
may serve as a personal inventory: How much has my schooling helped
To you the graduates of 1957-58, may this Dawn provide you with
guidance and joy in the dawning of a bright, completely new way of life
and your sparkling career.
On behalf of the Yearbook staff, I would like to take this opportunity
to thank all those who have in any way helped to make this Yearbook
a success.

MICHAEL TRUYAERT
We nave now reached this, the last year of our preparatory education.
The future of the individual is now the particular concern of that
individual.
Let us now turn our thoughts to the past and. what we have learned from
it. To most of us the memories of our first years of schooling are
fragmentary and nebulous. Yet we learned. We learned to read and print
and count. There were various activities in addition which encouraged us
to develop new skills.
Moving up the educational ladder, we met new challenges. A wider
field of subject matter was presented to us; we encountered more involved
arithmetic; we were introduced to the sciences; we learned the spirit of
cooperation through working on our enterprise projects.
The first real division in our progress came when we entered grade
seven. Here was presented a new phase of development; a development which
was concerned primarily with our social life. Our grouping was more
flexible. True, we were still divided academically, but in other respects
we were part of the large group, Junior High. These events formed a very
important part of our lives then, even though we can now perceive the
limited scope of those activities.
Toward the end of our years in Junior High, we began to look forward
to another important step in our educational career- High School. The
transition was not nearly as revolutionary as we might have anticipated.
There were, however, decisions to be made. We now had a choice of subjects
and choices consistent with our future aspirations. We were confronted
with that enigma, the time table.
Looking back now it seems that these last years have passed with
almost kaleidoscopic swiftness.
This reminiscence would not be complete without some reflection on
our teachers. At the time they seemed to be tyrants and ogres.. In the
intervening years we have come to realize the greatness of their concern
for us and how much they really had. our best interests at heart.
These years of effort in learning have culminated now in this our
final year. Each development, each phase, has been a stone in the foundation
upon which we will build our future.

GRADUATION SPEAKER
Mr. Carl B. Johnson
The theme of the address to the
graduating class of 1958 was; "Assets
Personally Yours." Mr. Johnson. Inspector
of High Schools for the Southern Alberta
District, divided his talk into five main
headings: Talents, Faith, Nature,
Canadianism and Youth.
The first part of his address was
directed to the talents of the individual.
Everyone has talents and they
must search themselves for their talents
and strength. Mr. Johnson gave a striking
example of this in Sir Winston
Churchill who could not do arithmetic
but became a prolific writer and painter.
Said Mr. Johnson, "If you do not develop
your best, you cannot be a credit to
yourself and to your community.
The second part was on faith. A person must have first, faith in
himself and this can only be developed by thinking and working things
through. One must have energy and the will to work. And secondly,
there must be faith in ones fellow man. Perseverance is the only way
one can learn to like things and people. Robert Wallace said, "There
is no man from whom I cannot learn." Thirdly and most important, one
must have faith in God. If,when one is full of trouble one will look
up and see the beauty of the stars and the constellations, one will
lose his troubles, and frustrations. Mark Twain has said, "I’ve
known many troubles in my life and many of them never happened."
l*Nature is a personal asset Mr. Johnson stated, "A dull life this,
if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare." One must learn
to appreciate beauty.
Canadianism should be dear to us and we should be most thankful
for it.
"Youth," said Mr. Johnson
and vitality. All-balance
in physical, i ‘ *
C1^r Sail^g’ ^ixeucau, uc pointed out mat. ir th
sailing,they would not appreciate what they have achieved.
u w T'/ls beautiful. full of energy, vim
Although Mr. Johnson wished the grads*success with
mental and spiritual growth, he did not wish
Instead, he pointed out that, if they had clear
i« cnSt^I?^/? Joh*son showed that the general level of education
I a^ aS time goes on more educated people will be
needed to give leadership.
It seems a bit strange to me to be speaking to you tonight. Graduation
is a time that we’ve looked forward to since beginning school, and now that
it’s actually here I find it hard to believe. I doh’t know how well-qualified
I am to be giving advice to you, graduates, but I would like to pass on some
advice that I received recently. T’d like to compare each of you to an auto
mobile. There are three general types of automobiles. On the high-priced
level are the Cadillacs and Lincolns - those cars that have the utmost in performance
and beauty. They're really worth something! On the medium - priced
level are the cars that give satisfaction according to what the manufacturer
puts into them. They aren’t the worst cars, for they have their merits. But
they’re also not the best cars. There is certainly room for improvement. Lastly,
there are those cars on the lowest level including the cheaper models and
used cars and, in general, the cars that nobody seems to want. These are the
cars that aren’t even worth what it took to make them.
Now, as you travel along the highway with the three kinds of cars, you
will observe some of them gliding smoothly along with hardly ever any flat
tires or engine trouble, and they never run out of gasoline. Undoubtedly you
will also come across many wrecks. Through careless driving they have gone
off the road causing their own destruction, and more often than not, they have
involved other cars. Also, along the highway you may expect to find derelicts,
abandoned cars that have just given up the trip. They puttered slowly along
until they could no longer move.
I think you can all see the connection I am trying to make. The cars and
the highway are you and the road of your life. At present we're at the beginning
of the road, a commencement as graduation is often called. We're in the
middle-priced range too-not the best, and certainly not the worst. The thing
to do now is to advance to the highest class where we can be a person, not
just a face in a crowd, and this each must do alone.
On the highway up to this point, you've travelled with other cars. You
have had the company of your family, your teachers and your school friends.
But, like all highways, this one, too, has come to a crossroad. Although some
of us may continue to travel on together, most of us will be taking different
roads. Whatever road you take, don't be content with the mediocre, being of
average worth. You don't want to become derelicts after coming this far, and,
above all you don't want to become wrecks. To prevent wrecks along any busy
highway there are signs and gujide posts. Similarly you will find(Kthem on your
highway-signs that say 'stop/ ‘slow/ construction ahead^ "hill or bridge. The
first ones we may expect to see are those that were written on stone tablets
and given to us a few years ago. Our whole lives and our society are founded
on them. There are two others at home who are always interested in our welfare
and when the road is steep or under construction, and travelling is difficult
they are always ready to lend assistance, be it material or spiritual. Over
the years our parents have instilled in us the morals and characters which
mould the rest of our lives. They also expect much of us. Let us hope that,
even though we leave a secure, sheltered life, we can live up to those
expectations. And then there are the guides found in sc

"7;^mw - ^Ji^r<: •;^:.^»»*^/y7i^L^i^2^17LlALi^^On behalf of the yearbook class J would like to thank Mr, Dejong for allowing us time in school hours to complete the yearbook,
and all his dedication and hard work outside of class. J would like to thank the wonderful office staff for their countless hours of
proofing student names and filling us in on activities. Thank you to all staff for putting up with our "sneaky" candid picture snapping
throughout the school year and last but not least Lisa Mstalos for her moments of getting every one back in the game in her "own"
crazy way.
The year started out with a yearbook Conference in
Lethbridge. Ct was a long two days, which set the basis for
the next nine months. Only a few of us could attend but by the
end of the year you couldn't tell because everyone had mastered
the yeartech On-line Program!
Our theme this year was music and songs. Our very diverse
class presented us with a very diverse mix of music throughout
the book, mainly using the titles rather than the entire song.
.As Editor of the 2007 yearbook <7 was quite pleased to find a wonderful array of staff
and talent. For the first semester we had a rather large class but we made it work and
everyone's hard work payed off. Flundreds of hours later we are showcasing an amazing
book/ filled with memories talents and dreams of students come and gone.
