Dawn of Wisdom
e^^
Since our theme this year is "Dawn of Wisdom", maybe we should
contemplate momentarily what this implies.
What do we consider wisdom to be? With a little delving into the
meaning we might find that the ability to judge soundly is a part; the having
of facts does not make us wise, but the ability to use those facts properly is
an indication of wisdom, especially so when those facts relate to life and
conduct.
Our conduct, then, as illustrated by our ability or capacity to make
use of the knowledge that we have, determines our wisdom. The wisdom
of an individual is further demonstrated when we make use of the best ends
and the best means in the task at hand. We must be able to use the best
and discard those things that are not so good.
Wisdom is not a modern invention. We, with all our modern inventions,
might not be wise. It is through the manner in which we make use
of modern inventions that we show our wisdom or lack of it.
Our learning and knowledge need not make us possessors of wisdom.
Some who have a great deal of wisdom might not have any amount
of book knowledge. How then may we possess wisdom? Certainly a certain
amount of knowledge is a requirement. Certainly we must be discerning
people or individuals. Certainly we must be able to think for ourselves.
We must be able to put first things first, and other things in the proper order.
We hear people speak of the wisdom of Solomon. Yet we know
that Solomon did not have the fund of knowledge available to him that we
have at the present time. Solomon's wisdom came as the result of his
ability to use to the best advantage the knowledge that he had.
If we want to possess wisdom, therefore, we must carry on to get
the necessary knowledge and then develop our ability to use that knowledge
wisely and with discernment.

e^Ms
"Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this day!
For it is Life, the very life of Life!"
—The Salutation of the Dawn (from the Sanskrit)
At each new dawning, may your hurts and fears fade into nothingness that you may face each day dauntlessly. For the graduating students, a whole new way of life is dawning on this Commencement Day. It is to you that this book is offered. May you look back upon your school life with no regrets, while remembering, with humbleness, its teachings. May this yearbook serve to remind you of all the things that you wish it to, of all the things that you enjoyed here in T. H. S. in the 1956 - 1957 school year. Remember that each day dawns anew, bringing joy and success IF YOU WILL IT SO. I would like to wish much of both to the graduating students.

President's Message
There is a deeper meaning of the word "Dawn", a meaning apart
from that of the golden sun breaking over the eastern horizon. The broader
sense of the word means an opening into a wider scope of learning, which
is the reason why we all should strive for a higher educational standard.
With reference to the word "Wisdom", it is pointed out that we must act
wisely or our adherence to right will be mere sound without substance.
Our high school yearbook, "Dawn", is a book in which we, especially
the Graduates, should place much pride. I should like to thank the Yearbook
Staff, the High kites, and the other organizations within the school for
helping to make this passing term a successful one. It has been a good
experience working with the teachers and students, as it gives us an opportunity
to challenge certain problems similar to those we shall encounter in
our forthcoming years.
In closing, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the graduating
students and trust that they will continue to climb the ladder to success.

A TRIBUTE
Someone has written,
"You who are young have a world to build
The future will be as you have willed."
I can wish no greater success for the 1957 graduates
than that they build as well as did George Meikle,
whose work was never slip-shod. As building foreman
he served the Taber School Division well for
many years, and he died respected and liked by
all who knew him.

Class History
This is the twelfth year, and the last chapter of our general education is nearly over. At this time my thoughts turn to the past.
The first grades are the dimmest to view, but in them we learned the essentials like reading and writing. Then we were introduced to arithmetic, enterprise, literature and elementary science. The struggle we had with learning these is comparable to the one which we are having today with math and physics, but, of course, those of long ago seem trivial. One of the points I recall about grades three to six was our festival work in which we seemed to excel.
Grade seven carried with it the hitherto unknown distinction of an organization of grades Junior High School. This brought our first taste of a Students' Union. From its organization, our leaders obtained experience in administration, and all shared in the benefits of its activities. These years brought our first school dances, and how easily the joy and excitement of them may be remembered.
The completion of grade nine led to "the most", the high school. Students from Barnwell and Cranford joined us in grade ten. Our heterogeneous nature, as a class, became evident as we divided into four different fields of training.
High school, now that it has passed, seems to have slipped by very quickly. Remember how we feared initiation and then, ironically, how we enjoyed it when it came? The award nights, the proms, and the track meets all bring pleasant memories. But they only seemed to point ahead. Thus the twelfth term found itself set on a very high pinnacle in our minds. But when we did finally reach the top, it was not so distinctive and not nearly so high. This, though, of all the years, brought us together as a class, working as a group.
In restrospect, it is my sincere hope that the past twelve years have given us a training sufficient to meet life well, a firm education, so that we may face the future with confidence and courage.

Class Prophecy
It's the year 2000 and I've just got my high school diploma. I thought that I would never get Math. 30. I've been looking into what happened to the good old class of '57. My findings have been astounding.
Keith Moline, in 1960, emerged as the successor to Elvis Presley. He sang such hits as "Don't be Sore", "You Ain't Nothing but a Hotdog", "That's When Your Headaches Begin", "Heart Burn Hotel" and many others.
Donald Bell, the quiet boy of the class became a radio announcer for C.B.C.
Brian Collett was locked up in "62" when he told a quiz master that a safe cracker was something you couldn't choke on.
In 1965, Mildred Petersen became the firsi woman to swim the Atlantic Ocean. That girl will do anything to save a little money.
Gerald Fong, destined to become a great leader, is now leading pack mules for a mining company in the high Andes of South America.
1968, David Laurie, after years of studying, became the top man in the field of atomic research. Because of sentimental reasons, he decided to build a gigantic research centre in his home town of Taber. That really put Taber on the map. Then one day he got careless with about a half a ton of uranium. That took Taber back off the map.
Wallace Kostelansky, the boy who always wanted to be a bird watcher, got a job at the Lethbridge Jail, watching jailbirds.
In 1972, Brent Gilbertson planned and built the first car made completely of rubber. It was designed especially for women drivers.
By 1980, Garfield Bland was a millionaire. His chain of modern bakeries spread out across thePAGE 12
TABER HIGH SCHOOL
continent is drawing in millions every year. That just goes to show how iar a boy can go with the right kind of dough!
Joe Kodie now has a dry land farm in the Sahara Desert. Neil Jones went into big business in 1970. His company is now making replaceable metal tips for shoe laces.
Ray Kadonaga, always good in track and field, became a rum runner back in "68".
Ted Teshima, always the bright boy with high spirits, has been manager of a brewery for the past ten years.
Patsy Kirkvoid and Cathy Johnson opened a motel at the bottom of Grand Canyon — seems they are always having someone drop in.
Mary Ann Peters, in 1968, made great progress in the field of biology when she crossed a Brahma with a sloth and got a bulldozer.
Esther Fletcher, who always wanted to go to U. of A., is now living on the campus, taking in washing.
Gayle Gibb broke a record in "72" for having given the Red Cross four quarts of blood at one time.
Ralph Sloane was the first man to reach the moon. It was a great disappointment for Ralph to find out that the moon is only a big spotlight and on the back are the words, "MADE IN JAPAN".
Sumio Setoguchi became a doctor of medicine, but because he can't stand the sight of blood, he does all his operations blindfolded.
Alexander Didyk became the coach of the Taber basketball team. He has gone a long ways. After Taber's team lost about ten games in a row, the fans chased him so far out of town that he never came back.
Elda Turcato pioneered a steamship line which has forty steam-powered row boats, plying supplies up and down the Old Man River, which just keeps rollin' them along.
Mary Ann Bogdan and Coral Bennett have a television repair shop in Russia. (Mary Ann always did like rushin' and certain television programs always did make Coral see red).
Joan Haynes became the first women to break the sound barrier, riding a motorcycle.
Ellen Skikiewich discovered that there was uranium in spinach seeds. She now heads a company whose purpose is the extraction of uranium from this source.
Lauria Jones, the girl with the golden voice, became a cow caller on a dairy farm.
Alice Reti became a dress designer. She made the bustle popular once more.
Because of her great dramatic talents, Darlene Conrad played a leading role in the Broadway Production, "The Three Blind Mice".
Bert Vik is now in Chile as a door-to-door salesman, selling red underwear.
Marilyn Dumas became a teacher in 1960 and revolutionized teaching by her methods. She discovered that giving a child a good old-fashioned "licking", produced no permanent ill effects and gave great results.
Margaret Dyck became chief banana peeler at a famous rest

loss -- this time in the departure of Mr. Small. Our illustrious vice-principal has been with us for
three years, during which time he has endeared himself with his patient understanding and friendly
interest in the academic and personal problems of even the most undeserving pupil. His Scottish
burr, lively wit and cheerful disposition have brightened the lives of many in our school. Mr. Small's
influence was felt throughout the community -- in the Kiwanis Club and church activities, to
mention two areas.
The Small family came from Selkirk, Scotland where Mr. Small was instructor in science for five
years. Needless to say, he brought much that was new and inspiring from Scotland to Taber. Mr.
Small enrolled in graduate study in the University of Alberta at Edmonton under a Department of
Education sponsored superintendency fellowship. We all wish him and his family success and happiness
in this new undertaking.

As this is being written, all of us are busy
with the myriad of detail needed to bring the
school year to an end. With examinations and
marks, year-end reports and textbooks, yearbook
pages and house cleaning, we are looking forward
to the end of the term and the holidays. We also
are looking back over a rather peaceful year in
which much has been accomplished. A few of
our students have proven themselves academically
by winning scholarships and prizes, a few of our
students have already established themselves in
employment, but the vast majority of our students
look on the year as another milestone successfully
completed on the road to a lifelong career.
May I suggest that sometimes there is too much emphasis placed on looking to the future and not
enough on the here and now. If all of us would put forth our best effort to get today's job done with the
greatest possible degree of excellence, the tomorrow would look after itself. To illustrate: if each
student would attack each day's lessons with a fired-up zeal, if every day were counted as an
opportunity to learn, then the writing of .examinations or the future of building a career would be well
taken care of. This applies to us as teachers, too. If each of us were to teach each day's lessons
with a striving for perfection, with a determination to make each minute count, with an energetic
drive that would inspire our colleagues and our students, then our concerns about learning course
content, about developing attitudes to work, about good examples set - these would all be accomplished.
If all of us, both students and teachers worked as if each day's tasks were the all-important issue,
then our dreams would come true and W. R. Myers School would become one of the best high schools
in Alberta with an enviable scholastic record and an atmosphere of friendly cordiality. Only by
concentrating on the present can we make the future materialize.
On behalf of the staff, may I congratulate the graduating class on reaching this pinnacle of
achievement. Our sincere wishes for your continued success go with you as you leave this institution
to build your own careers. Many other groups of students also deserve recognition - the yearbook
committee, the Students' Unions, the Key and Keyette Clubs, the sports teams, and the numerous
student clubs. A great many people have contributed to the success of this year. An all-inclusive
vote of thanks and congratulations to all.

This summer approximately 20% of Alberta School teachers will be leaving their jobs; some to return to University, some to enter the world of commerce, some to retire, but most simply moving to a different school unit.
Finding myself in the ranks of migrant teachers I am prompted to examine the implications of such upheavals for schools such as our own.
To some uninformed, ahigh staff turn-over may be interpreted as a symptom of malaise within the school's administration, but this is often a false conclusion. In fact a high turn-over may be the result of stimulated prbfessional ambition arising in a school where teacher talents are identified and nurtured, and new opportunities revealed. In other cases the movement of teachers is for personal reasons quite divorced from professional considerations; and in rural school divisions it is part of the general sociological trend of population migration to the cities. In short the reasons behind teaching staff turn-over are more significant than the numbers involved.
Allowing that a high staff turn-over may mean increasing opportunities for teachers, the question remains of the effect of such apparent instability on the students. Their interests are fundamental to a school's existence and must never be relegated to a position of secondary consideration. But does turnover necessarily correlate with instability and reduced educational offerings? The answer to this is revealed by the fact that many progressive centres of learning have planned discontinuity from a policy of short-term staff appointments. Thus fresh thinking is brought to old problems, and stagnation is never a concern. Such a school or college is not the most peaceful of sanctuaries, but the concept of education as secluded contemplation and study was lost in the Renaissance. The modern version of an efficient school, awake to the challenge of the future, is one functioning just within its "tolerance of turbulence", and it is the duty of the school's administration to find and live up to its tolerance level rather than to promote a comfortable, undisturbed school climate.
Thus a high turn-over of young teachers is potentially beneficial to them, and also to the schools they serve providing that suitable replacements are available.
In the event that I have given the impression that the panacea for a school's ills is an unstable staff let me now point out that there is a distinction between turbulence and chaos, and between the two stands a sound administration and a permanent core of superior teachers--our school has both.
It sometimes vexes me when our departing staff members receive the accolades while those who give continuous service for many years appear to get little recognition. They have less tangible rewards perhaps, but rewards which are just as meaningful: the satisfactions of a job well done. To these teachers in particular I wish to express my appreciation of their helpful reception three years ago, and to all teachers and students my thanks for the opportunity of working in your midst and for the many pleasurable experiences shared with you.
Finally I wish Mr. George, Mr. Semaka and Mr. Francis success in their endeavours. Under their guidance this school, like the town, has an assured future. Make the most of its opportunities!

Throughout the year of 1965-66 we've had the co-operation and help of the Junior High students
in all our functions.
The dances which we have had have all been successes. The Valentine Sweetheart Prom had the
biggest turnout with 265 students in attendance. The Centennial Dance for the flagpole was also
supported by the Junior High and was well attended. The Rodeo Queen Dance for Marilyn Christie had
the best turnout for both Junior and Senior High with an attendance of 352. Our End of the Year Dance
was held on May 28 and was one of our best functions.
The many projects we've had have all been supported to the fullest. The Centennial Room Projects
alone gave the Junior High good reason to be proud as over $100 was turned in. The Junior High
strongly supported Marilyn as Rodeo Queen by selling tickets and turning out to all the projects planned.
In closing, I would like to say that I appreciated all the support and help the Junior High has given
me and the council to make this Students' Union Year of 1965-66, One to Remember.

PRICIPAL’S
MESSAGE
Mr. Kilback
Our yearbook staff and their teacher advisor, Mr. Hart,
are to be highly commended for their diligent work in providing
this annual publication for our school.
A major event this year was the comprehensive school
evaluation by personnel from the Regional Office. The evaluation
identified certain areas of program, procedures, equipment, and
physical facilities which needed attention by the staff and school
board.
Another development was action by the school board to assure
greater control over students behaviour. Related to this issue
was the formation of a parent/student/teacher advisory committee
for consideration of matters of common concern, and participation
by many parents in noon supervision throughout the winter months.
The popular movement this year was "back to the basics," with
its conflicting interpretations and viewpoints. A gradual change
to a more highly structured curriculum is evident, with increased
emphasis on standardized testing at various grade levels.
However, what is basic to one expert may be a

Hansen
Hits Taber
Rick Hansen
On Wednesday, February 18, 1987 Rick
Hansen wheeled into Taber and captured the
hearts of hundreds. The crowds started to
gather along the highway almost an hour before
he came, and the students of Myers were let out
of school. Hansen wheeled his way into Taber
and nearly two thousand people crowded
around the civic centre parking lot in order to
catch a glimpse of Rick and hear him talk.
Hansen said that he had journeyed around the
world in his wheelchair in order to raise money
for spinal cord research. He also wants to
change peoples attitudes toward handicapped
people.

W. R. Myers High School 1988
No full textThe annual publication of the students of W. R. Myers High School Taber, Alberta. (Volume 1987-1988)pdfLife is a series of experiences, and most of us have
the goal of having as many quality experiences as
possible in hopes of having a full and rewarding existence.
Our goal at W.R. Myers High School is to provide
experiences whether they be educational,
recreational, or social which will most enrich the lives
of our students. This yearbook attempts to capture and
preserve some of these experiences along with the
people who helped make them possible.
Congratulations to Mrs. Mayer and the students in
the Journalism class for all of the hard work which
they expended in compiling another outstanding
yearbook. Especially though, we extend our appreciation
to all of the staff and students who helped make
the 1987/88 school year such a memorable one.
Because of you, this book is possible; and because of
you, we are able to relive the experiences of this past
year again and again.
School tends to be nostalgic as time goes by.
Hopefully, the graduating class will have fond
memories of W.R. Myers and the lessons learned will
be of value as you progress through life. Difficult
times will face you in the future; but I know, that with
the grace and determination you have acquired, those
challenges will be met and conquered.
For the returning students, you have the opportunity
to build your memories at W.R. Myers. Those leaving
have left a legacy; take it, build on it, and make it
yours. To all students - good memories and great
success!

Well, here it is! (finally) We hope you are
pleased at what you see when flipping
through pages of the 1988 yearbook
"GRAFFITTI".
This is my first (and unfortunately my last)
year to have been part of the Yearbook Staff. I
encourage each of you to perhaps join in the
challenging efforts, worries, problems, hard
work, shall I go on?! But really, it was fun
making such a unique book.
We feel a yearbook is an important part of
your high school years; being able to look at
it 10 years from now and remember what
W.R. Myers was like, so don't let the
memories die!
Best of luck to everyone in 1988/89.
A warm thank you to the following people for their help in putting the yearbook together - without
them, it definitely would have never gotten done!
Ms. Mayer - our advisor
Reid Felske - our representative from Jostens
David Bly and Greg Pender for pictures
The Students who let us take your mug shots for candids, and those who had pictures we didn't, and
kindly donated them to us.
Last, but never least, the members of the '88 Graffitti yearbook. You guys are the best!!

It has been a rewarding experience to have served
you as student council president. It has been a
positive experience to work with other members of
student council and to become friends with them.
Thanks to each of you, Michelle, Carolyn, Jason,
Lynette, Carrie, and Dana. You were great.
Most important to me, though, were the efforts of
the students in Myers as a whole. We rallied around
one another through thick and thin; we fought our
wars together and enjoyed the good times and survived
the bad. Together we made Myers High School as
good as we could. It's been a great year. One I'll
remember fondly and with great satisfaction. Thank
you.

Being one of the biggest Key Clubs Myers
has ever had, I like to think that we have accomplished
a lot more than in other years.
Among our activities were several fund
raisers and community services. We went on
a bottle drive, ran a beverage booth at the
Christmas dance, held a Caveman dance, and
held a wake-a-thon.
For services we ran two game tables at the
annual community Hallowe'en Party, held a
bake sale and donated proceeds to Care and
Share, and held a free car wash for the
community.
Unfortunately, this year the annual convention
which was to be held in Thunder Bay
was cancelled due to the lack of registrants.
However, to make up for this loss we planned
a trip to Riverside Waterslide for our own
recreation.
I would like to conclude by saying thanks
to all the dedicated Key Clubbers and that I
had a really good experience being the president
of the best Key Club in Western Canada.

Our Fall Concert in November featured guests, the Raymond High School Band, with our band returning the
visit to Raymond in February, and our Spring Concert in April which featured the St. Marguerite High School Band
from Spruce Grove, saw our bands return the visit in May with three concerts in Spruce Grove May 5-7.
Rounding off the year our Concert and Stage Bands combined to form a marching band, contributing to the success
of the annual Taber Rodeo Parade on May 21st.
Our thanks go to members of the Myers Music Association, a group of dedicated parents who have assisted
throughout the year on trips, with the distribution, care and maintenance of our choir and band uniforms, and,
without them, the organization of feeding the masses at our two annual concerts would have been a nightmare.
Special thanks to Ray Sheen who steps down as President of the association, after serving in several capacities
for the last 11 years.

With only four weeks practice under our belts, this year's Stage Band with 50% new members began the season by
performing for Premier Getty and members of the Alberta Legislature in September. Other performances this year included
the opening ceremonies for AgExpo '88 in Lethbridge and the Taber Trades Fair at the Agriplex. Over and above
the annual Fall and Spring concerts, the Raymond and Spruce Grove exchanges, and a concert for the Grade 5 students
at Central, the Stage Band, unknown to Mr. Reid prepared and performed in the farewell supper to Mr. and Mrs. Reid at
the Heritage Inn in June.
The choir grew in strength this year providing the opportunity once again for three-part harmony: soprano, alto and
baritone. Concerts included the Fall and Spring Concerts and the band exchanges. Throughout the Christmas season,
the choir performed at Clearview Lodge, Harmony Home, Homestead Manor, and the Taber Hospital. Our contribution
to the Kiwanis Carol Festival the L.D.S. Stake Centre was televised on CFAC Channels 2 and 7 at Christmas with
featured soloist Kristi Layton.

CHEERLEADING
The 1987-88 school year saw a tremendous change and
improvement in the Myers cheerleader's efforts and talents.
Two years ago we were a very new and raw squad whose
knowledge and skill level, in this widely spreading sport,
was very limited. Today, I'm proud to say, this is not the
case. Through hard-work, dedication and commitment our
team has excelled as a winning team in the sport. At zone
competition, which we hosted, we placed second which
entitled us to proceed on to Edmonton to Provincials. This
was our first Provincial Competition and I'm proud of our
department and efforts while representing our school.
As coach of the team, I would like to take this opportunity
to express my sincere gratitude to all the girls for their patience,
hard-work, enthusiasm and most of all participation
on this team. You as individuals have not only grown and
improved physically, mentally and emotionally but you
have also helped me to learn and grow as well. Each and
everyone of you have left a lasting impression with me.
To my graduating cheerleaders, Cindy, Becky and Holly,
I hope your futures hold all that you dream of and more.

Warnica, Joanna Wilson, Rhonda Renner,
The 1987 Volleyball season was a
learning experience for me as a coach. I
had never coached girls before and I
learned several valuable lessons:
(1) My ego was jolted firmly back into
place.
(2) I was forced to coach from grass
roots for the first time in years.
(3) Girls are more emotional.
(4) Girls can be tough.
(5) Girls are athletic in their own right.
I think the girls on the volleyball team
learned a lot as well.
(1) They learned about discipline.
(2) They learned about the work ethic.
(3) They learned about commitment.
(4) They learned about how to win.
24
Candee Jensen, Lindy Andrus, Karen Steeves,
Erin Anderson, Larita Johnson, Sina Platt, and
Dee Dee Rombough.
(5) They learned about muscles.
As a team we started in the cellar and
progressed slowly upward. We
couldn't beat our way out of a paper
bag in September. By November we
placed 2nd in the League Post Season
Tournament and the McCoy Invitational,
and capped it all off by winning
zones for the first time in 5 years. Provincials
were anti climactic for us, but
all in all the year turned out to be a
good one. 1 thank the girls for their
commitment to a valuable ideal. We
had fun!

This year's girls basketball team became known for its tough, aggressive style
of play. The girls were extremely intense while they played. This was a reflection
of Mr. Stewart's intense coaching. Each player improved greatly during this
rebuilding year, to the point that Myers gave Medicine Hat an extremely close
game at the end of the season. Graduating from this year's team are Tracey
Baker, Julie Evanson, and Deanna Grant, all of whom will be missed next year.
However, with eight returning players Myers is certainly the team to beat next
year.
Heather Chipman lead the team in scoring with Tracey Baker a close second.
Julie Evanson was the leading rebounder and best defensive player. Julie received
an honorable mention all star at the 4A Girls League meeting. Dana Eldridge
was the most improved player, making tremendous improvements in her rebounding
and defense. Tracey Atwood, Deanna Grant and Carolyn Jensen all
became good ball handlers and effectively handled presses. The remaining
players, Andrea Jensen, Marcy Sebok, and Jackie Cline all became quality subs
that actually benefitted the team when they entered the game. Unfortunately,
Karen Steeves was plagued with a knee injury that kept her out of action most of
the year.

BOYS SENIOR TEAM
This year's Rebel basketball team was a talented and aggressive team. The
record was 24 wins, 13 losses. The team won the St. Mary's Warriors tourney,
the MHHS tournament, and finished third at the L.C.I. tournament. The team
was led by Grade 12 centre, Larry Johnson. Brad Krizan also had an outstanding
season. Grade 12 graduating players are Monte Layton, Cam Francis, Jim
Brown, and Larry Johnson. These guys gave their hearts and 100% effort to the
program and will be missed.
Thanks to my stats: Michelle Fawns, Carla Anderson, and Mandy Shewchuck.
Myers students were awesome. We averaged about 500 fans per game and their
noise level and enthusiasm was superb. Thanks to the cheerleaders as well -
you were great!
I hope you will look back on this year with fond memories. I'll treasure this
year as I hope you will.
J.V. BASKETBALL 1987-88
This year's J.V. Basketball team started off slowly but ended as a contender.
The team worked hard and made notable progress in individual, and team play
throughout the season. They brought home to Myers the championship trophy
from the Medicine Hat Junior Varsity Basketball Tournament; and, by midseason,
the Junior Rebels were competing for a top four-spot in the league.
The team had many games that were decided by three or less points, which
always made the games exciting to watch. Of these games, the Junior Rebels
had a one-point loss to the eventual league tournament champions, L.C.I.; and
against the eventual league tournament champions, Medicine Hat, the team
suffered losses of only one and two points in regular season play. (Our boys
also beat them by 20 points in the championship game of the aforementioned

MYERS STUDENTS
PAINT A PICTURE OF FUN
As they let their true colors (red and gold)
show through.
What is “The Art of Fun”? If you were to ask any one of our students,
past or present, they would all answer W.R. Myers is the art of fun. Myers
school spirit and loyalty always shines through on our annual Fun Day
at the park. The grades compete against one another in a medley of fast-paced
events ranging from the “Ghetto Van Cram” to the true test of inferiority,
“War Games”, and even included a giant water fight to end the
annual episode. The day was dedicated to our bold football team, but that
didn’t mean they were the only ones having a blast.
The Grade 12’s swept the days’ events and won the school flag which
is a most prestigious event. Participation was great from all ends. The Grade
9’s were naturally a bit shy but soon got into the swing of things just in
time to give the higher grades a run for their money in the final events.
All-in-all, everyone, staff and students alike, will leave Myer’s knowing
that the true “Art of Fun” is not a picture, object or skill, but a feeling
of common bonding and pride like the school spirit that thrives at Myers.

These pages are dedicated to the students of W.R.
Myers for without them there would be no student life.
Student life means different things to different people.
To some, it is sneeking down to the cafeteria to grab a
quick snack, while to others it’s sleeping on the student
couch during spare time. Whatever it is, it’s become an
important part of every school day. It gives W.R. Myers
character so as we look back at our years here we will
have more to remember than tests and essays. We will
also remember that this was the year we made student
life into “A Work of Art”.

Our first dance of the year was
on Friday, September 13. It was
a great success and was the first
dance at Myers to include Grade
9 and the new “no shoes” policy.
This regulation was installed because
the gym floor was recently
refinished. Therefore, it was
nick-named the Barefoot Bash.
The Hallowe’en dance was also
a lot of fun for the students and
many of them dressed up.
Our music and D.J. for the
dances at Myers are supplied by
Evan How. He brings in his own
system and helps make our dances

November 23 and 24, 1990 heralded a momentous occasion
for the students and staff of W.R. Myers High School. For
only the second time ever, we hosted the 3A PROVINCIAL
boys volleyball championships. Any time a school hosts a provincial
championship of any kind, it provides the school with
a tremendous opportunity to showcase its student spirit, staff
involvement and school team expertise. We had that opportunity
at this event and exhibited, in all areas, a school that we
can be proud of.
Our tournament chairman is a former staff member and a
dynamic individual, Ms. Debbie Sargeant. Debbie is an organizer
extraordinaire, and the success of the tournament was
due in large part to her super effort.
Our staff got involved in the logistics of such a major undertaking
right down to the last person. They were enthusiastic,
supportive, and showed a pride in our school that only good
staffs can demonstrate. They were also a significant reason why
this event was such a success.
Our student body supported the tournament and our team
for the week leading up to and the days of the Provincial. They
came in numbers, made more noise than I’ve heard at a volleyball
match in this school in a long time, and were a major
reason why I felt so satisfied along with my players at the end
of the tournament.
Our team came to play this weekend. They played their best
ball in 3 years, of what was for all of them, their graduation
year. They played in the best matches of the tournament, and
provided every team they played with their toughest competition.
The final results were as follows:

Gold Medal Match: Wetaskiwin 2, Drumheller 0
I have coached volleyball at Myers for 16 years, and this
Provincial ranks as one of the best, if not THE best of them
all, due in no small part to the great support from everyone
from fans to committee members. Provincials is a prestigious
event, and we pulled it off with flying colours.

This year we did not pick the theme “A Work of Art” solely
to give credit to Myers talented artists, but also because art can
reflect the 1991 school year at Myers. Any work of art is a skilled
composition filled with color, brilliance, vitality, and a splash of
the unexpected. At Myers you’ll find that everyday and each activity
is filled with all sorts of flare and energy. We as editors
hope you appreciate these elements and reflect upon them.
We would like to extend our appreciation to Jim Saunders, Brandon
Bly, Dave Shritt, and all members of the Journalism class
for making this year “A Work of Art.”

GRAD COMMITTEE
This year’s Grad Committee had
a challenging task. It was decided
that this year’s celebration would encompass
two days: a senior dinner
and dance on May 24 and a cap and
gown ceremony on June 26, after
the last exam. These events both required
the committee to meet once
a week to make decisions on a variety
of things such theme, music,
invitations, decorations, etc. All of
this takes time, patience and commitment.
We would like to thank the
graduating class for their support in
the new format and wish next year’s
committee good luck.

STUDENTS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING (SADD)
A few students got together in
the beginning of the school year
to promote the idea of students
against drunk driving through out
the school and community. We
went to Medicine Hat to a three-school
conference to get our
ideas. We then had our meetings.
We had many ideas proposed for
the year; however, only a few
were carried out. We had a
starve-a-thon on January 18-19
to raise money. We gave certificates
to Checkstop to give to
people who were caught not
drinking and driving. We also
entered a float in the parade.

On Wednesday, May 1, 1991, the second annual Myer’s Art Show was held in
the school gym. There were many displays present including those of various groups
and individuals. An industrial arts class had a display and a Book Fair was present
in which anyone could adopt a book and donate it to the W.R. Myers Library. Some
of the students from Art classes 10, 20, and 30 had art for sale. No matter what
your taste in art, you were bound to find it among the many different pieces of
work done by these students.
A talent show ranged from a “Salute to the Troops” dance (Sharia Nishida, Lisa
Smith, Larissa Collett and Kim Hart) to vocal selections (Becki Gough and Angela
Jensen) to an acting solo from Thornton Wilder (Darcea Murphy). Also displaying
their talents were Cara Garrett with an oral interpretation, Joseph Anderson on the
piano, and Kent Pryor with a clarinet solo.
As incentive to attend the art show, a $100 door prize was offered to students
who attended. Patricia Wright was the lucky winner of the evening.

The 1990 season found the Rebels rebuilding since half of the team
graduated last year. This season the team finished in second place in
the Tier IH division of the Southern Alberta High School Football League.
The team’s season was highlighted by victories over St. Mary’s, Kate
Andrews, and High River, as well as a close loss to Winston Churchill.
In playoff’s, the Rebels soundly defeated St. Mary’s again before losing
a hard fought game to Raymond in the league’s Tier III final. Raymond,
as well as Cardston, and L.C.I., went on from the league to win provincial
championships in their respective tiers. Another highlight for
the team was the selection of Jeff Thurston as a league all-star at the
defensive tackle position. Jeff also won an honorable mention on offensive
line along with Jared Bly (defensive back), Ryan Buck (running
back and linebacker), and Randy Oliver (receiver).
Throughout the season, the Rebels continued to improve and to mature
with experience. Many key roles were played by returning players
and it appears the Rebels will be back in contention next year. This
year’s team also sees the graduation of many players whose leadership
and examples will be missed.
Joining the coaching staff this year was Wayne Pallett. His experience
was welcomed by the returning staff of Chip Koop, Keith Williams,
and Darwin “Top Dog” Lund.

The junior varsity team went through a roller coaster ride.
The team started out with several wins over their league opponents
but, halfway through the season, were met with a number
of defeats. Despite the downs, the girls continued to improve
their skills and maintain their enthusiasm. Because of their consistent
efforts, they had more victories at the end of the season.
Several of the Grade 9 and 10 players also played on the
senior team. The seniors had a very busy schedule. Like the
juniors, the seniors practiced every day from the end of August
to the beginning of November. Besides playing in league
games every Tuesday, the team competed in tournaments every
weekend throughout the season.
Although the girls competed well in tournaments, they never
placed first. With regard to the zone playoffs in Cardston, the
team came close to defeating McCoy High School from Medicine
Hat in the semi-finals; McCoy ended up going to provincials.
The senior team will be losing five players since they will
be graduating. We coaches and the remaining players wish these
people all the best. Those who will be coming back should form
a strong base for next year’s team.

The 1990 Myers Saints volleyball season concluded a four year
effort to re-establish boys’ volleyball. The seven players that constituted
this year’s team were what remained of the 12 players that
started in Grade 9. Making this team competitive has not been easy;
they are an odd combination of talent and mental attitude, but the
team all stuck it out. Our team became consistent, focused, and it
all paid off in a provincial bronze medal.
I remember walking in with the team at the opening ceremonies
in front of our own school; the frustration of our first game; beating
Drumheller in a two-hour match; the tightest game the team played
during the semis against Wetaskiwin; re-grouping to easily win against
Fort McMurray for the bronze; and hearing about all the fun the
team had at the post-season party.
Competitive athletics teaches you a lot about yourself, whether
you know it or not. Each and every one of the players will go down

was when computers ended. Grade 9 to me was like a box of
chocolates . . .
Lyndia Peters, Grade 9 - To me, Grade 9 was easy but still
had its challenges.

WILL IT EVER MAKE SENSE!
Jennifer Grummett, Grade 10 - My Grade 10 year was
different and at times it was hard.

more homework than in Grade 10.

Brent Daniels, Grade 12 - The best memory of my Grade 12 year
was when Brendan Holstine backed over the dumpster. Grade 12 is

have been involved in a wide variety of opportunities from .Athletics
to Marine Biology to the Hine Arts. This year we sent two
different groups to Seattle, Washington for band and baseball. 7t has
been exciting to see our students benefit from the different
experiences provided by our staff.
Another exciting part of our school year included seeing Myers'
students experience so much success academically. This success
translates into opportunities for them to pursue their lifelong
dreams at employment they desire or colleges and universities that
they may choose to attend.
7t is always impressive to see how successful our students are at
the endeavors they embark on. Students at our school truly make
Myers a wonderful place to be each day.
Thank you so much for the journey we have all experienced
together this year.

Most of us use Google or similar search engines, but at the same time, we may not know how to use punctuation to help us reftie our results.
Here are a few simple yet very helpful search operators to help you search Google - like a Pro!
“Quotation Marks”
Example: “I love you Mom”
Using quotation marks in you search lets you search for exactly that word or string of characters. All your results will have the quoted text in them.
-Dashes or hyphens (no space after dash)
Example: dolphins -football
If you want to exclude a term from your search, include a hyphen or dash before that word. The search above will look for the aquatic animal, and exclude the Miami football club.
-Tilde (no space after tilde)
Example: Music-classes
Use the tilde symbol when also want synonyms to appear in the result. The search above will show results for music classes, lessons, coaching etc.
site: (no space after colon)
Example: site:youtube.com
Use the colon in your search when you only want to search within a specific website.
Vertical bar |
Example: blouse | shirt | chemise
Using the vertical bar between terms will return results that have any one/two/ all of the terms.
Two periods..
Example: movies 1950..1960
Include two periods when you want to search a range within two numbers.

THE DAWN OF 1961-62 PUBLISHED BY M.H.S. YEARBOOK STAFF SCHOOL ENROLLMENT 633
3’!r^;'.-iH!^ This native °f Alberta was born on September 6, 1907, on his parents'
homestead, east of High River, Alberta. That part of the country was
served with a railroad in 1912 and the town of Brant was established. It
was at Brant that Mr. Platt started his schooling. His formal education was
completed in the City of Calgary in 1926.
He has been associated with and seen schools develop from the one-roomed,
red schoolhouse type through the "Consolidated" school district era, and into
the big School Division stage, where course-selection and specialized teachers
put education within the reach, of all.
Mr. Platt has served the Barnwell-Taber district as a school official for the
past 21 years. At the same time that he worked in education he kept close to
agriculture, the basic economy of Western Canada. Mr. Platt is also a successful
grain buyer and farmer.
To Mr. Platt, we dedicate this issue of the "Dawn."

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
It is difficult for us in Canada, with the second highest per capita income and standard of living in the entire
world to realize that the major preoccupation of most of earth’s population is with obtaining the bare necessities
to sustain life. Most of us acquire the basic necessities, food, shelter, clothing, health services and recreation,
so easily, that we lose sight of what a minimum level of existence really is and bend all our energies toward the
acquisition of luxuries which soon assume the proportions of necessities in our lives. Add to this the fact that frequently
young people acquire many of the luxuries before they reach mature adulthood and we can readily under
stand why many of us have a somewhat warped sense of values.
This is not to minimize the desirability of possession of luxuries. Nor is it morally wrong to pursue the comfortable
existence which modern technology makes possible. Indeed in the majority of cases, we would be foolish
for not accepting the easeful life since freedom from worry and the struggle to maintain the physical life can
release us for the pursuit of personal development and for service to others.
But how often do we read and
hear advice on continuing our
formal education for the simple
reason that it will bring us greater
material rewards. For each additional
year we spend in training
we will earn ”X” dollars more
during our lifetime. The good,
high-paying jobs go to the best
educated people in our society.
These are undoubtedly good
reasons for continuing our formal
education to the limits of our
capacity. But they are not the
chief reasons or most important
reasons for so doing. The major
purposes of education are to
develop the individual intellectually,
morally, socially and physically.
Education enables us to
lead the 'good life', as major
philosophers put it. And yet we
put the emphasis for continuing
education on what we can get out
of it in a material way. If this is
where the emphasis is placed,
then this will become the major
goal of our system of education.
And it should not be so. Education
should be sought after because
it develops the potential of
the individual, because it enables
him to enjoy life more intensely,
and to understand and seek after
values which are non-material.
An understanding and appreciation
of these non-material values will
lead men to seek peace of mind through service to others thus serving his own self interest, and to a steadfast
maintainance of his own integrity.
It would be very pleasant to pamper our every physical desire, to lead a narrow, lotus-like existence
which requires little thought or worry. Perhaps this type of life would even be a cut above the placid, luxurious
existence led by cattle in feeder pens just next to the slaughter house. The ideal, of course, would be to lead
a well ordered physical life while at the same time the mass of our energies were devoted to seeking after nonmaterial
values. But if we must make a choice, please give occasional thought to the idea that it is better to
be one of the peaceful poor than to be one of the restless rich, always remembering that far from all the poor
are peaceful just as far from all the rich are restless.

VALEDICTORIAN
Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Parents, Teachers, and fellow Students:
Numerous tales have been recounted of fearless men who, sparked on by a
driving ambition, forgot all in their quest to conquer a mountain. Long did they
••” condition themselves for the task ahead, and carefully did they plan their expeditions. Then, flaunting their
' lives in the face of death, they braved unimaginable hardships - starvation, freezing cold, and treacherous
ledges - in order to achieve their goal. Yet when they stood upon the conquered peak, their sacrifices and
trials were but dim memories in the exuberance of this moment. Theirs was indeed a proud achievement.
Similarly, we the graduands tonight, stand on the heights of what is as yet our greatest achievement. In
our climb to graduation, we too encountered hardships, failures, and successes; and because the way to education
was steep and precarious, we too made sacrifices and conditioned our minds in order to attain our goal.
Often, we confronted a difficult problem which, like a sheer precipice, seemed incapable of mastery. At
these times, we dejectedly felt that graduation was a vague, distant dream that would never be fulfilled. Yet
we persisted and prevailed. Working in close fellowship, we scaled the hills of new knowledge together. Some
of us excelled at Science or English, athletics or social events; but all of us were taught the basic fundamentals
of good citizenship, such as honesty, courage, tolerance, and a willingness to serve others. By doing those
tasks which needed doing - whether we enjoyed them or not - we developed endurance. However, the most
important climbing tool with which we were equipped was our ability to reason and express ourselves clearly.
Without this skill, we would never have been able to attain these heights of learning on which we stand today.
Yet any mountaineer realizes that attaining the summit depends not only on planning and individual effort,
but also on teamwork and aid from many wiser and more experienced climbers. We too realize how much we
owe to those adults who have played a part in our education. Of special note are our teachers who, through
their patience and skill, opened to us new vistas of opportunity, knowledge, and enjoyment. Their dedicated
efforts we gratefully acknowledge. To our parents we shall always be indebted. From childhood, they
counselled us when we erred; comforted us when we were hurt; and encouraged us when we despaired of ever
attaining this major educational goal. No amount of thanks can ever fully express the gratitude and love we
feel for them.
Tonight, as a period in our lives draws to a close, our thoughts turn to the future. We realize that the
tasks which we must now overcome are mountains compared to the hills of learning that we have just conquered.
The climbing has but begun. Yet if we apply the skills we have learned in the past twelve years, the adult
world need not be feared. Not all of us can climb a Mount Everest, but each of us should strive according to
our abilities. In the words of Shakespeare, "What you cannot as you would achieve, you must perforce accomplish
as you may. " Never in mankind's history has a generation lived in a more challenging era. Therefore,
whatever career we may choose - whether it be doctor, teacher, farmer, or homemaker - let us endeavour
to make some useful contribution to this world, however small that contribution may be. Let us not
measure the values of life in material success, but rather in the satisfaction we obtain from putting into practice
worthy ideals. At times, we may fail in our endeavours, but if we have done our best, we need feel no shame.
Graduation also means a yielding of the past - of old friendships, of a familiar way of life. Perhaps
never again will we the graduands be assembled in such a group. Yet, wherever the future may find us, whatever
our occupations may be, the memories of these twelve years will linger with us always. In bidding farewell,
the class of '62 sincerely hopes that we will never forsake the trust and confidence that you, our parents
and teachers, have placed in us. Henceforth, life will be our school. May we graduate from it with honour
and distinction.

CLASS HISTORY
Once again the halls of Myers High ring with the peals of graduation
bells. It's the same old story but is it? We in the 1962 Graduating
class have struggled a long way from the shy but inquisitive monsters we
were called in grade one, to the bold, outspoken individuals we are today,
who know where we are going, but are a little bit foggy on where we have
duty therefore to stimulate the lost art of thought in you, and perhaps bring
forth a few cherishable memories.
In my diggings, I have unearthed some interesting findings. Did you know that less than half of the
graduates began school in the Taber division, and of these only three started in the old Southside School
and six started in Barnwell?
Ah, yes, Barnwell.the backbone of our society...........for through their grades advance the
citizens of tomorrow........ the drunks, the bums. But they were tutored by excellent teachers, many of
whom left lasting impressions on the students.
