GRAD 20*12
NLY JUST BEGUN!
lass of 2012: Taryn Rombough MMMHM
Good morning family, friends, teachers, and fellow graduates of 2012. I am incredibly honoured to have the
opportunity to speak on behalf of my classmates. Today, we unite for one of the final times, to celebrate our
experiences, part with our past, and encourage each other to go out and face the world with
bravery.Graduation is turning the last page of a novel, and delving into the sequel with anticipation. It is hopes
and goals and dreams, which have been formed from experiences of the past. Up until this point, our stories
have bared countless similarities. We have all experienced the frustration of attempting to learn long division,
struggled with the pronunciation of big words, he fear of cooties, and the heartache of being in first grade,
when you’re convinced that the cute fifth grader who pushed you on the tire swing at recess is your soulmate.
We have experienced loss together, and middle-school drama that once felt like the end of the world. We
have faced
disappointment, and we have stood together as each of us attempted to figure out who we were and who we
are meant to be. Together we have also experienced joy, and the satisfaction that accompanies getting an A
on an exam. We all know the type of laughter that ties your stomach into knots and steals the breath right out
of your lungs. We have grown into young women and men, and written our stories, together. It is here, today,
where we part ways, and begin work on our own novels, the rest of our lives promising to be the product of the
decisions we have already made, our accomplishments, our desires, and the choices we will continue to make
inthe future.
At this point, I would like to extend thanks to our parents. As children, we begged you to check for monsters
beneath our beds, and kiss our bumps and bruises better. When we fell from our bikes, you applied bandages
with loving hands, and set us back on our feet, convincing us to try again, and always refusing to put the
training wheels back on, because you had faith that we could do it. From the very start, you have made it your
goal to prepare us for the inevitable future. You have taught us valuable life lessons, and encouraged us in
our endeavours, never failing to show pride in our accomplishments. Although we might not always admit it,
we are incredibly thankful that we had you to depend on, while growing up.
I would also like to thank the many teachers who have devoted their time to teaching us everything we need to
know, in order to face the world and succeed. You have become so much more than educators; you have
become role models, and more importantly, you have become friends. Some of the best memories we hold as
students were created within the confines of your classrooms. I, for one, will never forget a single biology
lesson, thanks to Luch's inventive teaching techniques, and I will always remember the simple act of reading
Shakespeare aloud, Chomany whispering in the background, encouraging us to read with more
expression,adding ghost sounds, and flickering lights to set the atmosphere.
Escaping the limitations of high school to chase our dreams, wherever they may take us, brings the promise of
new friends, new experiences, and numerous opportunities, which we will all be eager to take. However, as
we move forward in our lives, we must always remember the people and experiences that helped shape and
define us. We must remember the friends that laughed with us, cried with us, and stood with us while we
experienced the best days of our lives. We will continue to learn, outside the walls of W.R. Myers, however,
what we learn is not nearly as important as who we learn it with. The purpose of life is not to discover all the
secrets of the universe; it is to find happiness, and happiness is simply unachievable, unless you are
surrounded by good friends, and a supportive family.
Our future is quickly approaching, and many of us are still uncertain of our
destination. We cannot predict where we will end up ten years down the road,
but we can move forward with the knowledge that we are all capable of great
things. Some us will fall in love, build families, while others will escape into the
work force and pour their knowledge into a career that will drive the economy,
and perhaps, some will even go on to change the world. We are all capable. If
there ever comes a moment when you begin to doubt your abilities, look back
on your past experiences, and remember your accomplishments. We have
already made it so far, and our lives have just barely begun. Be courageous,
and imaginative. Continue making mistakes, as long as you continue to learn
fromthem, and, in the words of Confucius, “wherever you go, go with all your
heart.”
Thank you.

I Over the last four years at Myers we have witnessed our school grow
and move forward as a whole. We have been together through loss,
hardship and realities that are catastrophic to the teenage psyche. But
through these hard times each and every student’s character and
ability to cope with difficult circumstances has developed and helped
us grow into the strong individuals that we are as we leave this school.
Myers is full of dynamic personalities that are each unique but share
similarities that are connected through our high school experiences.
Although we have faced difficulty together we have also known our
fair share of good times; from classroom laughs to sporting triumphs
to the friendships that we have built that will last a lifetime. Myers has
i been a crucial part of our upbringing and has grown each student into
! a person that is ready to face the challenges of the world.

Johanna Kutanzi
Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Morning!
Welcome to the W.R. Myers High School Cap and Gown Ceremonies of 2014!
I can’t believe how fast the year went, that I am once again standing in front of our graduating class - you are looking fine! I am happy that you are having this moment. I can’t believe the weather! Generally, on graduation day, our only complaint is that it is too hot - especially for the boys in their handsome suits later in the afternoon. Boys - we have good news ... Last Saturday, I was cleaning out the closet in my daughter’s room - and that, by the way, should be a job for someone who has done something desperately wrong and is being punished for some act! Anyway, we decided to take a break - go for a walk. It was snowing! The toques came out, the mitts should have come out - so, if we look on the up side of things, it is not snowing today!
For the last two weeks or so, if I ran into someone and they know that I am connected to Myers, there was generally a comment along the line of, “Grad is coming up soon.” And so it was on Tuesday, as I took the kids for an evening haircut, that I ran into a dear friend. I was commenting that I had not yet written my speech for grad and that really all I want for the kids is for them to be happy and well. How do you turn that into a speech? And that truly is, speaking on behalf of the staff of W.R. Myers High School, our wish for you - be happy and be well.
Now, if being happy and being well simply happened on their own, then I could just take my seat and wish everyone an outstanding day. That is not the case. It seems like everything takes at least a bit of work, and even something as seemingly simple as being happy and well, requires thought, time and attention. You have many journeys ahead of you - hopefully most will be joyful and exciting and some may, will be, difficult. Though it all, know yourself, treat yourself well and never sell yourself short - that would be such a shame. You know, and I know, that were Brett here today, and maybe he is, he would want only the very best for you - he would look at you with that convincing smile, that twinkle in his eye, maybe tilt his head a bit - and want you to be happy and well. Brett sat right in front of me in LA enrichment, probably because of his hearing he sat in the front in a lot of his classes, and I remember that look very well - usually there was a touch of mischief in there as well.
I hope that you, our graduates, feel well-prepared to plan and navigate the next step of your journey. I hope that you will carry forward moments of pride, struggles that have turned into accomplishments, memories of giggles and giddiness, friendships and true and genuine value of who you are and all you contribute. I hope you remember, always, how important you are - to your family, to your friends and to yourself - there is tremendous value in you. And because of that you are wished a lifetime of being happy and well - of discovering and nurturing your talents, of committing to work or study that is meaningful to you, enjoying the moments as they present themselves, of loving and being loved.
To all the parents today - how are you doing? Another milestone! I was at my daughter’s kindergarten Mother’s Day Tea on Wednesday - same daughter with the messy room! The tea was beautiful! Mrs. Anderson was kind enough to put together a video of moments throughout the kindergarten year - and the really good thing was that I found out I was not the only sap out there - the rest of the Moms were crying too, as we watched this video capture the moments of fun and growing up for our children. And I thought about you - the parents of our grade 12s - and the love you have for your children, the insane pride we have as parents and the bumps, hugs and hoorays along the way. I hope that you too enjoy this moment. Thank you so much for all you have done for your children along the way - kids need their parents and they could not have done it without you. And, Happy Mother’s Day!
I want to end with one more story. Last Friday afternoon, I took some time to make sure I actually had something nice to wear for today. After shopping, I ran into a former parent and get an update on two of his children and a nephew as well (Jance, Alex and Tom are all doing well!) - we chat for a minute and continue on. Then I go to confirm my hair appointment for this morning - the kids that spend 200 days with me know that hair is not a big priority. Anyway, I run into Jenny Meyer and say to her, “Hey, your Mom was able to find something pretty for me to wear and now I am getting my hair - I’m set.” Without missing a beat, Jenny said, “This town will take care of you.” This town will take care of you - that is what we call home! Remember that you have a home, that you are valued in this community and your hometown, as represented by everyone who made it a priority to be here today, stands behind you, wanting you to be happy and well. Whether your next step takes you down the street, across the globe or somewhere in between (like PEI), please know that this is your home, you will always be Myers alumni and that we will always wish you well.
As is customary, my final task is to introduce the class valedictorian. This year’s valedictorian has been a quiet and unassuming student, someone who goes about the work with a great deal of diligence and helpful curiousity. Over the four curiosityyers, there has been a consistent display of the most pleasant manners and the presence of a warm smile. And if you talk about farming, he really lights up! Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our valedictorian for the Class of 2014 - Ben Noble.^O J ^ l/a/ee&iforfan
Ben Noble
Good morning, well I’m glad that everyone was able to find the l-Rena. That’s exactly how we want to start Grad off with, 1000 tickets with arena
spelt wrong. Right now all my teachers are going “Oh Ben, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones!” And they are right; I have no room to
talk about spelling mistakes. In fact when my elementary school teachers find out that I am the valedictorian they will probably say “Well he must
have finally learned how to spell!” The fact is I’m still working on that one! We learned a great deal since that start of our education 13 years ago,
it is hard to fathom that we started out in kindergarten sitting on the floor learning that glue was not edible, I’m pretty sure Cole Nakamura learned
that the hard way, and we began to slowly progress through the school hierarchy. We went from top dogs, to the bottom of the pile when we
transferred to middle school. It was at middle school that many of us had our first slow dance and learned that the opposite gender was not really
all that bad. We also learned that you can actually make too many posters. We looked on at the High school kids desiring to be more like them,
thinking that they knew exactly what was going on. Then we became the high school kids and we learned that we were wrong, we didn’t actually
have everything figured out automatically. In high school we learned the significance of a driver’s licence and the friends that it brought. We learned
so very much at school, whether it was academic or life lessons, we always learned something new. And it was due to our teachers that we learned
anything at all. I think that I speak for everyone when I say thank you to our teachers. I would personally like to thank the staff at W.R. Myers for
your incredible dedication, and your commitment to your student’s education. Additionally I would like to thank you for your guidance, your friendship
and the role you have played in our lives.
Most importantly, I would like to thank our parents for their support, their tol§rance and their understanding; it cannot be easy to raise a teenager.
Without parents and teachers, none of us would be who we are today, and none of us would be where we are today.
I am honored to be chosen as your valedictorian, but it is also a great responsibility because I feel that I have the obligation to say something
meaningful on the day that marks our transition from children to adults. Things are going to drastically change when June arrives, we are all aware
of the challenges that we will face as we head out on our separate ways. Life will not always be simple or perfect; our class knows this better than
most. It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge one of us is not present today, and that person is Brett Forchuk, I do however believe that you
would all agree that he is certainly with us today in spirit.
Today is significant because it indicates that we are about to set out on diverging paths. Edmund Hillary once said that “It is not the mountain we
conquer, but rather ourselves.” What he means by this quote is that when one sets out to accomplish a goal, it is not the physical obstacles we
face that impede our success, but rather the limitations we place upon ourselves. Like climbing a mountain, life is going to require skills, tools and
companions to achieve success. Before you are able to climb a mountain you must first educate yourself on the topography, and the climate of
the mountain, you will need to train long before you are able to attempt to climb. You will need people to travel with, people who you are able to
trust and depend on, this being said you will have to be trusted and depended on as well to reach the summit. Einstein said “Try not to become a
man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” I believe if you combined the two ideologies together, you would be able to conclude
that it does not matter if you achieve your goal of reaching the summit if to do so you have to impair someone else’s journey. Your character is
what will remain long after you have reached the apex. Sometimes you will need to be humble enough to allow your companion to lead rather than
yourself because they know the path better than you do. And sometimes you will need to admit to yourself that you are not ready to continue the
climb until you have rested. An individual is only as strong as their skills and their mindset allow them to be. So improve your skills and get in the
right mindset because the only limitations you have are the ones that you allow to affect you. With that in mind climb a mountain, chase after your
dreams because it is better to fail at something, than to succeed at doing nothing at all. Even if you don’t make it to the peak it doesn’t matter,
because life is not about the destination it is about the journey. Go out into the world, conquer your own doubt, conquer adversity, turn your
limitations into strengths, and climb your mountain.
Congratulations, graduation class of 2014!
I wish you all the best,
God bless you,
Thank you.

9/1 1 Memorial museum,
visited Lincoln Center,
Juliard School of Arts, the
MET opera house as well
as taking a fast elevator
ride to the top of the
Empire State building!!!
We shopped, and
shopped, then shopped
some more!
It was an absolutely
amazing experience
with some fantastic
students and parents!!

The Milo Can Opener
On the east side of Lake MacGregor a set of ‘ghost corrals’ quietly stand in
the sun. These posts and beams (all very substantial) were part of a cattle
handling system for a rail line that no longer exits. I had a thoughtful
morning walking through the chutes and gates, all now leading nowhere.

We would appreciate it if we didn’t always have to invoice for

The following is the description of the East Milo Juniors that is housed @ Milo Library Archives. This
can be accessed through the Milo Library website @ https://milolibrary.ca.
The East Milo Juniors, initially referred to as the Milo-Queenstown Local, was the first chapter in the
Junior United Farmers of Alberta, created in 1919. The UFA formed the Junior Section to "train those
between the ages of 14 and 25 in citizenship and leadership", as well as to provide opportunities for
social interaction. This led to the development of University Farm Young People's Week, a time for
group members to be together at the University of Alberta, where they convened an annual meeting
of their provincial executive, and participated in debates and track meets, as well as other sporting
events.
Through pie and box socials, dances and bridge parties, the East Milo Juniors raised funds which were
used to purchase sporting equipment and to send delegates to the annual convention. Proceeds
from the Basket Social in December, 1934, were used to support several charitable causes, including
the Red Cross. The Juniors also hosted and attended lectures and art displays, hosted local debates
and an annual banquet, produced a newsletter called "The Tattler", created and exhibited
handicrafts, put on concerts and Chautauquas for the community at large, and participated in
community clean-ups and plantings.
In 1932, the East Milo Juniors, along with the Arrowwood Juniors and the Johnny Canucks formed an
organization called the Marquis Athletic Club. The club hosted an annual sports meet with
competitions in baseball, softball, track and field and basketball.
CUSTODIAL HISTORY: Jack Bushell, East Milo Juniors secretary, 1933-1935
SCOPE AND CONTENT:
The fonds consists of 2 original scrapbooks, 1933-34 and 1934-35, and one bound, combined copy
made sometime later. The handwritten volumes reflect the years' activities of the East Milo Juniors,
and include biographies, photographs, financial and other reports, drawings, stories and puzzles.
The Milo Library & Archives had a recent visitor, Erin Hoar who is the Archivist at the UFA head office
in Calgary. After giving her a tour of our building, I had asked her if she would research the UFA
sponsoring the Milo Racemeet as is rumoured, prior to the Lions Club who started in 1955.
She was unable to find that information, however she sent the following article from the U.F.A. July
15,1922 publication about the Queenstown Juniors and their accomplishment of building a
community hall.
It was originally built in the center of the district, just north of where Old Milo was. Later it was then
taken apart and moved into Milo where it eventually became the IOOF Hall on the lot where the
current recycling trailer resides.

THE U. F. A,
L-1 ■Br r ■- •»-*
July 16, 1922
Queenstown Local a Centre for all
Community Effort
How Adverse Conditions Proved Incentive to the Creation of an Active and Efficient Organization and the Development of the
Spirit of Co-operation—The Queenstown Juniors and What they Have Accomplished.
The big hall was crowded with people,
mH the seats were taken, all the standing
room at the back of the scats and in the
doorways was filled. The Queenstown
Junior XJ.F.A. were giving a demonstration
of their year’s work in physical
training and folk and aesthetic dancing,
and all their parents, brothers and sisters,
friends and neighbors, as well as many
people from surrounding districts, to the
number of about five hundred, had come
to see. A dozen boys and young men
stood ready at the front of the hall,
straight, lithe young fellows, holding
themselves with ready, cheerful confidence,
The horizontal bars were placed
ready, and at a word from the instructor
the drill began. One after another, the
boys swung over the bars, under one and
over the next, swung up on their arms,
vaulted over the vaulting horse with a
dozen different "stunts" all carried out
with promptness and ease. Enthusiastic
applause greeted the conclusion of their
program, and the curtain was drawn
from the stage for the girls’ performance,
a series of dances typical of the various
countries in the British Commonwealth,
interspersed with choruses by all the
young people. Hornpipes, jigs, reels and
fancy dances were shown by single
dancers or groups of two or three, in
appropriate costumes. Little maidens
with long curls or sleek, bobbed hegds
danced with dainty lightness, and their
elder sisters were like graceful fairy
queens, delighting the audience. The
concert ended with the singing of "0,
Canada,* and the Junior yell.
Result of a Year's Hard Work.
This capable and finished performance
represents a year’s work. Every Saturday
afternoon In winter, and every Saturday
evening in summer, the Junior Local
meets, and each meeting begins with
physical drill for the boys and dancing
and club swinging for the girls. They
are fortunate In having efficient instructors
who have been willing to devote a
Kt deal of time to helping them.
t. Frank Harvey, who served in the
CJS.F. during the war, and is also the
secretary of the U.F.A. Local, drills the
boys, and Mrs. A. Alston, who has had
some years’ experience teaching dancing
and physical culture and directing
pageants in American cities, directs the
girls’ exercises. Both instructors say
that they find the work intensely interesting,
and both are keen advocates of
the value of physical training for young
people. That it gives grace and poise
was evident, and that the young people
like it was shown by the regular attendance
at all meetings. It was also maintained
that the feeling of perfect command
of one's muscles has a wholesome
mental reaction.
Many Other Activities.
But the work of Queenstown Junior
Local is not confined to these activities.
Once each month they have a business
meeting, and once a month a social meeting.
In winter a light supper is usually
served, with a nominal charge of ten
cents. Th® Local publishes a monthly
newspaper, after the style of school
The strength of the U.F.A. as an
educational, economic, social and political
force, lies In the Locals, and the
building up of active, vigorous local
units' has always been the primary
and fundamental task of members of
the organization. The Influence of the
Locals Is commensurate with the service
which they can render tn the com-munities
in which their members re-side,
by becoming the sources of In.
splration for local effort and the
centres of social life. To paraphrase
the words of a well-known sociologist,
Mr- H. P. Vowles, who was quoted
in the last Issue of "The U.F.A.".
•’without a broad sustaining base of
knowledge and effort tn all of us,” no
elected representatives can hope to
handle the wider aspects of our business
and national life.
Upon this page la published an
article descriptive of the methods em.
ployed tn building up one local unit
and of the successes which this unit
has achieved In Senior and Junior
Branches. No two Locals are confronted
by exactly the same problems,
and no two have been built up by ex.
actly the same methods. The expert,
ences of a number of other Locals
which have been conspicuously successful
will be outlined In subsequent
articles, and It Is hoped that those may
be suggestive and helpful to Locals
and district Associations throughout
the Province.
publications, and an innovation which
met with warm approval was the writing
of a serial story’ by the members in turn.
The newspaper and installments of the
story are read at the meetings. Speaking
and debating are also encouraged, and a
regular feature is for the president to
call on various members for impromptu
speeches, sometimes on current events
and sometimes on humorous topics. The
programs at the social gatherings are
often impromptu, too, and are usually
very successful. One such impromptu
program took the form of a farce, ’Tn a
Photographer’s Studio.”
Such a Local and such a record are
only possible through the whole-hearted
co-operation of the young people, their
parents, the teachers of the schools in the
district, and the instructors. And indeed
it appears that the co-operative spirit
must be strong in the Milo community.
The history of the Queenstown Local, and
its community work for the past twelve
years, make a background that largely
accounts for this.
Accomplishments of Queenstown
Senior Local.
The Queenstown U.F.A. Local was organized
in 1910, and found a good
deal of work lying ready to its hand. Mr.
John Glambeck, who was for several
years secretary of the Local, said

Who was here first?—in the early dawn.
Who was here last?—when the rest were gone.
Whom did we depend upon?
"Pop" Layton.
Who gave us service with a smile?
Who was willing to go the "extra mile?"
Who believed that a joke was always in style?
"Pop" Layton.
Who has loyally served as the years rolled by?
Who is known to us all as "One Swell Guy!"?
Who is most missed at Taber High?
"Pop" Layton! ! !
Death is the great leveller. In its presence all differences in rank
and position disappear. It is no respecter of creeds and races; no one can
escape it. And so it was with our dear friend who kept our school spotless
and gave us excellent service for over forty-four years.

Alberta’s Golden Jubilee
1955 marks Alberta's Golden Jubilee.
Since receiving provincial status in 1905, she has risen from a
sparsley populated, undeveloped territory, to the most prosperous province
in our country. At the turn of the century, when our province had its humble
beginning, she was considered a minor province. In fifty years she has
risen to prominence and become the land of opportunity. On this her
fiftieth anniversary we take a certain pride in saying "Alberta is our home."
May this province, which is our home, rise to greater prosperity in
the years to come.

Vincent Massey was born in Toronto, Ontario, on February 20, 1887.
He was educated at the University of Toronto and Oxford University in England,
and returned to Canada to take an active part in Canadian life.
From 1926 to 1930, Mr. Massey served as Canadian Minister to
Washington, setting a pattern of harmonious feeling between the United States
and Canada. In 1935, Mr. Massey was appointed to High Commissioner
for Canada in London where he strengthened diplomatic relations. Then on
January 25, 1953, the King, on the advice of the Canadian Government, appointed
Mr. Massey as Governor-General of Canada. He was the first
Canadian-born citizen to be appointed Governor-General.
The family name of Massey has for one hundred years been
associated with the encouragement of Canadian Culture, and Vincent
Massey has ably upheld the family tradition. He was the first president of
the Chamber Music Society, and later he worked in the formation of the
Toronto Symphony.
Vincent Massey made great contributions to Canadian Art in his
presidency of the National Gallery of Canada. He is the only man to head
both the National Gallery of Canada and the National Gallery of London.
Probably the most outstanding of his contributions to Canadian life,
however, is his chairmanship of the Royal Commission on National Development
in the Arts, Letters, and Sciences. After two years of intensive investigation,
the Commission's report was tabled in the House of Commons on
June 1, 1951. It covered every phase of cultural life and will undoubtedly
have a great influence, and one day bring into being a truly great Canadian
Culture.

I would like to congratulate Beverly Young and her staff in editing
1954-55 edition of the Taber High School "Dawn." It is through the efforts
of a few that the entire student body is able to have pleasure in reading the
yearbook. As the Dawn comes off the press, we see pictures of our daily
associates that which, in future will bring back happy memories of our school
days. The value of a yearbrook such as this increases, rather than decreases,
with age.
Once again I would like to commend the yearbook staff on a good
job well done, and hope that the students of this school will follow our
practise of recording the year's activities in the years to follow.
In closing, I would like to say that it has been a pleasure working
with the teachers and students, and I wish the students graduating all the
success in the world.

The Junior Red Cross Organization was formed in the Taber High
School for the first time, under the careful supervision of our directors, Miss
MacLaine, Mrs. Rolphson and Mrs. Simmermon, and our leaders, Jane Maruyama
and Ethel Endo.
This is the first year for the Junior Red Cross Organization, but we
have been successful in a number of projects.
We sponsored the Hallowe'en Ticket Drive of the Taber Schools, in
which about two hundred dollars was cleared. We sponsored the Poppy
Sales, in which approximately thirty dollars was collected. The Junior Red
Cross members have given valuable assistance to the school library. We
carried on advertising and sale of tickets for H.M.S. Pinafore, and directed
a successful Assembly at which Dr. Uprichard, accompanied by Miss Nora
Nixon, were the main speakers.
I hope that next year the Junior Red Cross in our school is a complete
success in every respect.

Youth leaving the halls of learning to find a
place in the work of the world or to go on into new
fields of scholastic attainment, must learn to live
nobly in the midst of strain. The prevalent idea is
to escape from the realities of a chaotic world or to
remove the conditions that cause discomfort of any
kind. Escape too often leads to tragedy. Removing
the factors of discomfort may be beyond your
control.
You must realize that the world isn't going to
move over for you; but it will give you a chance
to find a nitch into which you can wiggle — and
then you can begin to climb."
There isn't any finality in life—when we spell
it with a capital L. You can follow through as time
will allow, but realize that no matter where you
stand on a plateau there is a peak beyond.
Keep the inquiring mind with which you are
blessed; don't let anything in life scare you. Say
what you think. Love what you love. Despise
what seems wrong to you and you will one day attain
the heights of freedom of mind, and body.

TOKIO HORI
Tokio is a quiet guy,
People think he's awfully shy;
But when he's with the Key Club Gang,
That little guy is quite a bang.
JACK JOHNSON (Pickles)
Jack's new haircut is quite snazzy,
Lately he's become quite jazzy.
He thinks dancing's lots of fun,
And the girls he'll never shun.
WILLIAM KIRKVOLD (Bill)
Bill Kirkvoid is a darn good scout,
The best of chaps, there is no doubt.
A very good student, profound and wise,
And girls, he has the cutest eyes!
TOM MURA
Tom's great artistic feats
Are not devoted to the graph;
But if you feel down-hearted,
Read his newspapers for a laugh.
KAY MACKENZIE
Kay is always nice and neat,
A combination hard to beat;
She's the girl who knows how to step,
Always full of fun and pep.
GARY SWANSON (Swanee)
Gary Swanson's a studious chap,
Imagine a girl upon Gary's lap;
No sinner, yet no saint perhaps,
But well—the very best of chaps.
ROBERT TESHIMA (Prof)
Robert is small, but he is wise
As many boys just twice his size.
His marks are always higher far
Than marks of other students are.
BEVERLY YOUNG
A jolly good sport is this maiden fair,
There is no school spirit lacking there.
Quick and bright, of scholastic fame,
She treats us true, she plays the game.
VERDA KEMPER
Verda is a pretty dish,
Who makes the boys wish and wish;
A songstress, fair and quiet,
However, capable of quite a riot.
PETER TAJCNAR
Peter is a musical lad,
Peter isn't ever bad;
Mr. Semaka and Pete get on fine,
Mrs. Semaka should invite him to dine.
MILES KURYVIAL
The frog is sick, oh my!
It's going to surely die;
Like other scheming things you do,
Miles! Are you sure it wasn't you! !
MILDRED PAVKA
By Laura or Milly she is known,
This Cranford Chick to Taber has flown.
Good natured? Popular? Well, I guess,
The classroom with gaiety she does bless.
TOM MIYANAGA
Tom seems like a quiet fellow,
He's believed to be quite mellow;
His musical ability is a treasure,
Often hearing him is our pleasure.
HISASHI KADONAGA (Sashi)
Sashi isn't quiet either,
People think he has a fever;
When he's serious he does fine,
And when he isn't we have quite a time.
LARRY ANDERSON (Dutch)
Larry's bold, and brave and strong,
He's quite a guy to have around.
In all sports he takes the lead,
And to the girls' team pays much heed.

DENNIS BARR
Dennis is our pride and joy,
With the gang he's quite a boy.
Treasurer of the Key Club is he.
And Taber's own child podigy.

This girl's charged with personality plus,
Over her there's quite a fuss;
As Social Convener she is tops,
She'll work and work until she drops.
ALBERT CHRUMKA (Al)
Albert came quite late this fall,
He must have heard the Wild Goose Call.
From Tilley, Albert he does hail,
And with the girls he's quite a male.

With laughing eyes and heart so kind,
Rita Conrad is whom we have in mind.
A newcomer here, and ho, so classy,
We're proud to welcome this fine smart lassie.

"Dixie" is the little lass
Who comes always late to class;
With the teachers she rates high,
And with the students my-oh-my!

Iris is a clever girl.
She thinks life is one big whirl;
Her interests lie in church and school,
This little cook is no one's fool.
TRIS HAYNES
Iris is a country lass,
An asset to the Grade XII Class.
She is medium, dark and bright,
And for her rights she'll always fight.
ROBERT FLETCHER
Robert is taking Math. 30,
, A course that's hard as nails,
He must be preparing for
A four-year course at Yale.

The Union's Treasurer is our Shirl,
She is rather a quiet girl;
To be a secretary is her ambition,
We give her luck for what she's wishing.
JACK IKEDA
He's often seen in his Pontiac.
Going where? No one knows.
But he sometimes goes to dances and shows.
MARGARET DEGNER (Digger)
Margaret's the jolly laughing lass,
And one of the tallest in the class,
Once with the girls, Marg is never quiet,
She seldom skips school. A few more should try it.
ETHEL ENDO
Ethel's best in Fab and Dress,
Jane cuts a better rug;
So all that Ethel's left to do
Is beat that Jane in "Bug"!
RONALD KTRKVOLD (Ron)
Ron is a hot rod kid
And racing he would go;
He would leave us right away,
But he hasn't any dough,
JANE MARUYAMA
In her studies Jane does excell,
I think everyone thinks she'll swell,
As Secretary of the Union, she won
By getting the votes of most everyone.
BETTY MIYADA
As a pint-sized stenographer,
We're sure she'll succeed,
As Yearbook's treasurer,
Betty's just what they need.
"DAWN" Page Seventeen
AMY OKAMOTO
Amy's the secretary for the Yearbook,
I guess she hopes to be a steno some day;
For the Commercial course this year she took,
So we wish her luck along the way.
HELEN PASSEY
Helen is an editor
And shares the Council rule,
After that, a majorette.
So she's obviously — quite cool.
MILES PAVKA
Miles is tall and handsome,
He has those dark good looks,
He's never got a lack of girls,
But he'd rather hit the books.
MARIE PIERSON
Marie and Mary are closest friends,
It daily seems to be,
So everywhere that Mary goes,
That's where you'll find Marie.
MARGARET VARGA
Marg, does her school work well,
But sometimes she gets bored,
It's then she starts to think
About that dark blue Ford.
MAVIS SHOCKEY
Mavis is a basketball star,
She wastes no time a-talking,
And the amount of work that this girl does,
Is positively "Shock-ing."
ETHEL STOKKE (Pinky)
Ethel has- a winsome smile
And has the matching look,
Although she's taking the commercial course,
She's still a real good cook.
LEONARD THIESEN
Leonard is a quiet boy,
Who understands his stuff,
He always does things well enough,
That sometimes he can sluff.
MARY TURCATO
Here's the girl with personality plus,
The boys over her make quite a fuss,
She acts as if she's kind of shy,
But the boy who gets her is a lucky guy.
ZITA PRUS
Here is a Grade XII student
Who takes Commercial classes,
She always does her work so well
It's no surprise she passes.
ETHEL VAYRO
Ethel is tiny with innocent eyes,
Lots of fun and full of surprise,
And tho' her homework may not be done,
She doesn't care; it was worth the fun.
GENEVIEVE WILK (Jean)
The head of biographers is our Jean,
In a green car she is often seen.
Is it a Jones from Grassy way?
That's what all her friends say.
NORMAN VICKERY
Handsome is the "Man of the Hour,"
When on the basketball floor he's got all the power;
With the gals he's kind of shy,
LYNN LAYTON (Link)
Smiling and jovial, handsome and tall,
Lynn is certainly well liked by all.
In sports he's supreme, in dancing — a dream,
His girl will have to be like peaches and cream.
But among the boys he's a 'real gone' guy.
DOUGLAS NEILSON
The Barnwell van brings Doug to school,
You hardly ever see him fool,
The midnight oil burns at his place,
You never ever see him trace.
Page Eighteen TABER HIGH SCHOOL
BOB SASAKI
The school holds nought for Bob
But words and things to learn,
He takes these in one big stride
So he has time to burn.
HENRY PETERSON (Sam)
Here's the lad with the red hair,
For school he doesn't seem to care,
He is fond of lots of fun,
Yet, sometimes has his homework done.
LLOYD PAYNE
He's the lad with the curly hair,
Don and him make guite a pair,
Two years ago he came from the 'Hat,
He's not too tall and not too fat.
HARVEY RETI
Harvey set to work one day,
He didn't even talk;
He finished up on all his work,
Now Mr. Court is in a shock! !
KEN OHASHI
Ken's our President in case you don't know,
He's credited with not a single foe,
A carefree guy with a wonderful smile,
He's working steadily all the while.
RALPH MAIER
Maier is a handsome man,
He does good singing, too,
But when he starts to whistle a bit,
...........................I guit.
ROBERT HOW
Robert's an all around good guy,
He seems quiet and a little bit shy;
Bob has a vocabularly, hard to beat,
And his good humour is quite a treat.
LESLIE CHOMANY
Leslie is a Flight Sergeant,
He really doesn't toil,
But though he barks at big parades,
At home he tills the soil.
GEORGE SAKAMOTO
To be a pilot is this boy's ambition,
But please don't be alarmed,
It's been rumored that it's tradition
To drive a plane two-armed.
CHARLIE KANOMATA (Chas)
There's a shout of "Charleee! ! !
An answer to "What?"
It's Chas again,
He's on the spot.

Everyone in high school studies history. They do it because it is a compulsory course. But how many have ever thought of learning about the future? Wanting to de different than everyone else I took a course in "Futurism" by correspondence from Madame Futura's "School of What-is-Yet-to- Come."
I will now describe my first attempt at looking into the future. I was hoping it would be a success, but that was not to be. No matter where I looked, all I saw was members of the 1955 T. H. S. graduating class. Nevertheless I'll make the best of it and tell what I learned

Once again this year W. R. Myers students were asked
to give their opinions on several topics.
The progressive conservative party was the favorite
political party in an election. Favorite cars ranged from
Ferrari's to Mustangs. The top song was "Mickey” by

Brooke Shields.

One good thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
The activities at the
provincial park started at
1 p.m. with a bucket
brigade. The group was
divided into approximately
four equal teams. The
awesome team 4, led by
Mr. Koski, were the
fastest at passing the
bucket from the ballpark
to the hilltop. Therefore,
they were also the first to
fill their 5 gallon bucket
and win the event.
The next event, the log
race, saw teams 4 and 2
tie. The team had to
carry their log from the
ballpark, through the
camp area, and then
across the river. The first
team to get 25 members
across won.
Center: And the winner of the
wet T-shirt contest is . ..

The final event of that day was
a tug-of-war. The four teams had
a contest in which team #3
emerged victorious. To end it all,
the school split into two teams for
the last tug-off of the day. To
everyone’s astonishment, the rope
broke leaving the competitors
piled like dominoes.

“S!” “P!” The cheerleaders screamed . . . “S!” “P!” the students screamed
back. “I!” “R!” yelled the cheerleaders . . . “I!” “R!” they yelled back .. .
“I!” “T!” “What does it spell?” “SPIRIT!”
The pep rallies over the past school year really had a lot of spirit. Students
and teachers got in and found out how much fun pep rallies can be. Contests,
plays and presentations have all been part of making our pep rallies the
greatest.
One of the memorable pep rallies was the one at the beginning of our 1982
school year. During this, the grade 12 victoriously won the pyramid contest
and the grade 11 won the rowdy flag award. The P.E. 20-30 class also performed
their aerobics for us.
The Christmas assembly was just as fun. Presentations were made to
teachers by none other than Santa Claus. This pep rally ended with the whole
student body joining in and singing Christmas carols.
Student pep rallies this year have really been a success and have shown
that W. R. Myers has “SPIRIT!”

VALEDICTORIAN — ROXANNE KURIO
We are a group of friends, fellow students, parents, and teachers
meeting tonight under the most pleasant circumstances to participate
in our graduation ceremony. The diplomas we will receive
attest to the proficiency and application during our high school
years. With the support of those people gathered here this evening,
we have attained the credentials to go on to meet the new challenges
which lie ahead of us.
Yet this evening is not without a touch of sadness. This is the last
opportunity we shall have to meet as students and it may well be the
last occasion at which all of will be present.
Because this may be our final meeting together, it might be well
to look over the road we have just travelled.
Three years ago we entered high school perhaps with a trace of
hesistance and uncertainty about our immediate outlook as
students. Gradually we put to rest those uncertainties and went on
to acquire the education and training that we had sought.
Another group of benefits, not so easily measured were also acquired
along the way. I refer to such things as the ability to get
along with one another. To understand better the word “sportsmanship”.
To have clearer the appreciation of the rewards which result
from perserverance and application.
Those of us who, perhaps a bit skeptically entered this school
three years ago, have learned today that there is a reward for effort,
and that only real effort produces a genuine reward.
Success and achievement is seldom the product of just one’s own
efforts. Therefore our thoughts turn to those people who contributed
the most to our individual successes. I refer of course to our teachers
and parents who often had to scold, conjole, console, and through it
all lend guidance and support. Perhaps our expressions of gratitude
can best be manifested in the coming years by whatever accomplishments
that may become ours.
Soon it will be time to pursue new goals. We will face them with
optimism, with courage, with determination.
Each one of us will soon begin a journey alone toward a chosen
task in life. The journey may not always be without its difficulties
and temporary setbacks, however, I am confident the virtues and
principles which have been bestowed upon us in the past will serve
as well in the future.
Shortly the vacant places we leave behind tonight will be filled by
others, just as eager, just as anxious, just as determined to succeed.
It is our sincere wish that all the pleasant and valuable experiences
which have been ours, will in due course be theirs.
When their turn comes may they be as sorry to leave as we are
this evening.

Each school year has its unique characteristics and
concerns. This might well be termed the year of Com-prehensives
and Computers. On the one hand we are
confronted with a set of external exams and
significantly higher requirements for obtaining a high
school diploma. The greatest impact will be felt by the
lower-achieving students who may have to accept
some alternative other than the previously anticipated
diploma. On the other hand, we see some exciting
possibilities for incorporating computer technology into
instructional and administrative procedures.
During this time of economic restraint, we are faced
with a need to carefully examine priorities in our
school program and to select those activities which will
provide most educational benefit to our students. This
assessment is reflected in decisions as to how budget
dollars are expended for supplies, equipment, and student
travel.
Special events have included the Day at the Park,
the trip to Europe, and presentations by Rick’s College
and the Covenant Players. The Graduation Committee
has again worked diligently to prepare for an
important and colorful annual event.
Our inter-school sports programs have once more
been highly successful, thanks to the tremendous efforts
of our students and their coaches and to substantial
community support. The fine arts programs in
music, art, and drama are a very worthwhile complement
to our academic core. A stage band for students
with special interests, and scheduled in addition to
regular band, has made exemplary contributions to
the school. In home economics, industrial arts, and
business education, our students have received practical
knowledge and skills applicable to direct job opportunities
or in preparation for further training.
The new Vandalism Reduction program has succeeded
threefold — property damage has decreased,
students are assuming greater responsibility for their
behavior, and Students Council has benefited from the
money saved and contributed by the School Board.
Under the direction of C. Hart, the students in our
small Journalism class have included in their productions
a weekly column for the Taber Times, several
editions of a school newspaper, and the Yearbook
itself. We extend sincere thanks and appreciation to
this class for their outstanding quality work and
performance.

This year the girls’ volleyball
team had a very successful season.
The starting six players were all
returning players, consisting of:
Sharon Hamilton (captain), Audrey
Bullock, Rhonda Ferguson, Jody
Parry, Pauline Hooge, and Connie
Gow. The reaminder of the team
were: Lynnece Kerner, Carol
Desabrais, Myrna Robinson, Sheila
Fujimagari, and Suzanne Vibholm.
Our manager this year was Cara-
Lee Ireland.
Our team started this year off on
a good note by winning the preseason
tournament. Many tournaments
followed, which we also
had a great deal of success in. We
won the pre-season, post-season,
league, and zone tournaments. We
placed second in all three Medicine
Hat high school tournaments. The
season was topped off by us going to
provincials and capturing third
spot. It has been quite a few years
since a girls team from Myers has
gone to the provincial tournament,
but with the help of a great guy we
made it. That great guy is Dennis
Fujiamgari, our coach. We would
like to extend a special thank-you
to him for all the time, effort, and
support he gave us. Without him we
wouldn’t have made it. We also appreciated
all the support from
students, teachers, and the parents,
we had a good year and a great
time.

MYERS VOLLEYBALL 1982
1982 was supposed to be a poor year for
Myers — but somebody forgot to tell the
players. Neil Powell was the only returning
starter; we had no returning setters; and only
nine people showed up at the beginning of the
year. Of this nine, one couldn’t handle the practices
and quit after the first week, and another
was forced to quit early in the season. This left
seven players, one more than absolutely
necessary, only 2 grade 12’s, 3 grade 1 l’s, and 2
grade 10’s, one returning starter and no setter
did not look good.
Dick Eto became an instant setter. Setting
200 balls a day and having the same expected of
him as we would an experienced setter gave no
room to be anything but good.
Cam Shields started as a typical grade 11 —
good skills but easy to psyche out — not mentally
experienced. He caught heck every game
for the first half of the season. At the end he
could probably take on anybody.
Jody Slavik was a grade 10 player who was
short. All he had was guts, good coordination,
and tremendous strength. Jody got chewed out
more than anybody on the team, but he took it,
learned and had a tremendous first year.
Rob Layton was the surprise I needed. Grade
10’s don’t normally play. The game is new to
them, and they don’t have the size, strength,
and skill to compete. Rob was tall, strong, coordinated
and learned amazingly fast — the best
grade 10 player I saw this year.
Dave Anderson was a grade 11 player. He
started the year with one year of practice under
his belt and not one inch taller than grade 10.
Nobody expected him to hit, but he could. He
was a hustler with a good team attitude.
Neil Powell was my only starter. I expected a
lot of Neil. When Neil was hot, we won. When
he was off, and that happens, we struggled.
Neil’s big improvement was in attitude. He was
a team leader in practice and was positive to the
game all year.
Dwight Harris started a year late — his

The years spent in school are often cited as some of the most enjoyable of
a person’s life. This is in spite of the pressures associated with trying to obtain
an academic education such as writing tests and completing assignments.
What makes these years so memorable and significant are the many and varied
activities which take place in schools, along with the relationships developed
with classmates and teachers. Within the pages of this yearbook is
the history of this past year at Myers High, which you will wish to treasure
over the ensuing years. It is my sincere hope that as you recount the experiences
of the 1991-92 school term you will remember it with fondness and
appreciation. Special thanks goes to Mrs. Klemen and the yearbook staff for
all of the time and effort which was expanded in creating such an interesting
and exciting yearbook. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

The 1991-92 school year will be another exciting and challenging one at W.R. Myers
High School. The administrators, teachers and students are busy implementing the
action plans that were developed as part of the school’s strategic plan. Our re-cycling
program, journalism class, tree planting program, grade-level meetings, policy formation,
and budget committee are only a few examples of the progress we have
made to achieve our mandate. Excellence is never achieved alone. Success can only
be achieved by teachers, students and parents working together to make our school
the best school it can be.
Thanks to all the students and staff who make this school the good educational and
social experience that it is. As in all years, there are a few who find fault with almost
everything associated with school who have never taken the time to see what it can
be like with a positive attitude. The rules are to help you attend and learn and obtain
what will be a valuable asset — an education. We have good recreational programs;
our Students’ Council is active in improving the quality of social life. To those who
took advantage of what we offer, I’m sure your past year at Myers High School
was a positive experience. Our hope is that you use what you have gained to further
your life experience.
Fun Day
The annual Fun Day was held on the afternoon
of Friday, September 27. Pamela, Shirley, Car-ley,
Kristie, Dawn, Donna, and Shauna all enjoyed
the lunch provided. Then everyone moved to the
dunk tank where Jerry Swap enjoyed getting Del
soaked. The traditional van cram was enjoyed by
all who participated. Jason Pack and Marty Jesper
sen, our boy’s sport’s convenor and president,
crammed the van with Grade 9 students, who
thanks to the Grade 12’s didn’t stay dry very long.
Once everything came to an end, Cory Nelson and
Jeff Thurston went sliding in the wet grass.

This year’s yearbook has been a challenge, but yet a good one.
We are making a piece of history for you to look back on. We had
a small class so everyone had to do lots of work, but it is worth
it in the end. I would like to thank Mrs. Klemen for all the help
she gave us, and you the students of W.R. Myers, who make this
book possible and to Dave Schritt from the Taber Times, who lent
us his negatives. This year the book is different from any other
year. Being in Grade 12,1 won’t be able to return to do this again,
so I want to encourage anyone who would like to join the yearbook
staff to do so. It is rewarding, but requires lots of work. Thanks
to my fellow students in the Journalism class: Jana Anderson, Nicole
Vayro, Kristie Vanderwal, Georgina Driedger, Karen Laurie.

Hello Rebels Family!
It's easy to believe that the rich and famous are born well...rich and famous. Not so! On the
way to being famous...Gwen Stefani worked at Dairy Queen, Madonna was fired from Dunkin'
Donuts, Brad Pitt handed out flyers wearing a chicken suit for El Polio Loco, Rachel McAdams
was a server at McDonald's and Beyonce was swept up hair in her mother's salon. There are
jobs you will have before you 'make it' too. Some you will enjoy. And some - not so much.
On my way to becoming a teacher I was a waiter, a landscaper, a tree planter, and a
bartender. Some of these jobs I liked and some I hated. But ALL of these jobs brought me to
the profession I love and shaped who I have become.
At W.R. Myers High School we are proud of being a school where every student can find an
avenue for success and in being part of a community where everyone in the Rebel family
strives to find the best in themselves and others. As Christian Larson said, "Believe in yourself
and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."
Remember that you are the star of your own life and that, with hard work, your dreams will become reality!
Take care,
Ken Pon
Principal
Wow! What a year! I chose "REBEL RESILIENCE" as the yearbook theme this year as I thought it was rather fitting given our
current 'COVID-1 9' situation. Some of you are already VERY RESILIENT, while others may feel like you are not. One thing is
for sure - you can always WORK on becoming MORE resilient.
Here are 10 ways you can work on becoming more resilient:
Have the courage to be imperfect
Take time for yourself
Sign up for that course, join that club
Be active every day in as many ways as you can
Spend time with people who make you feel good
Laugh out loud each day
Invite your neighbor (friend) over for a cup of tea (chat)
Do one thing now that you've been putting off
Focus more on things you can control
Remember, this too shall pass (~https://wayahead.org.au/get-the-facts/building-resilience/)
Thank you to all those who gave me a big smile (or at least didn't run away) when I put the camera in front of your face! I
apologize to those teams I missed getting photos of (that actually had the opportunity to play). Because this year is unlike any
other, I also decided to change up the color scheme from the traditional red/black/yellow! I would love some feedback on
this decision (love it/dislike it etc).
A huge shout-out to a stellar group of grade 9's who helped me with the yearbook in June (Madisen and Bryden O'Connor,
Kiernan Gyepesi, Will Evanson, Madison Reid, Heston Bevans and Allen Clements). Thank you specifically to Bryden O'Connor
for creating the color graphic used throughout the yearbook.
Some of the quotes found through out the yearbook were from the survey you filled out in the spring, which in, most cases,
does not have the author information and therefore simply states the grade level the quote came from. All other quotes with
Author Unknown" were found online and in most cases didn't have any author information either. In any case, my hope is
that they will either put a smile on your face, make you go 'hmm' or possibly even take time to pause and reflect on the
message being shared. Enjoy! 5

It was a sad reality that we all had to face this year with little to no athletic
competitions across the Province for High School Sport. But very thankfully, and
in true Rebel Spirit, we made the most of the situation and were able to organize
and provide our student-athletes with a few opportunities to participate in sport.
The Rebels made teams and practiced as much as they possibly could in football,
volleyball, cross-country, golf, basketball, and curling. Unfortunately, a few of our
traditional sports were not able to get off the ground in the Spring, but hopefully
that will only fuel the fire of the up and coming athletes for next season! We want
to give a big thanks to all those student-athletes and coaches who committed to
one or more of our teams during these tough, unprecedented circumstances, and
a special shout out to all the Grade 1 2 student-athletes for all of their years of
dedication to High School Sport!

The WR Myers Academic Awards Night would not be possible without the many and generous contributions from our local Taber
businesses and families. Our community has donated 16 885 this year!
Unfortunately, we could not celebrate the academic successes of our students with our annual evening event. But we still took the time
acknowledge these amazing and talented students on their academic accomplishments! We hope to return to our evening event next

The W.R. Myers Concert and
Stage Bands were unable to
perform this year due to COVID,
but we were lucky enough to still
be able to play our instruments.
Vince Gassi, a composer from
Toronto, was commissioned by
the W.R. Myers Band Parent
Association to write a piece for
the Concert Band. The band
students met with Mr. Gassi via
Zoom in October to talk to him
about the piece and the writing
process. He completed the piece
for us in January and we began
working on it. Again the band
students met with Mr. Gassi on
Zoom for him to listen to us play
and give feedback. But
unfortunately due to the COVID
restrictions, we were unable to
premier the piece. Hopefully,
next year we will be able to play

..had the opportunity to be a part of the "Minister's Youth Council." The Minister's Youth Council consists of 40 junior and senior high school students (in
Alberta) all of which have many diverse interests, perspectives, and backgrounds. Students get the opportunity to share their perspectives on many different
topics in education. Over the last couple of years students on this council have worked with the Alberta Government Education Department, MLA's,
industry professionals, teachers and school boards to help better education in out province. Specifically, these students helped inform a vaping policy from
Edmonton Public Schools, assisted in the creation of Bill 1 9 which aims to reduce vaping use in Alberta and helped shape the Ministerial Order on Student
Learning.

Sayge Turcato was in the Alberta
High School Rodeo Provincials
Finals at the beginning of June
she went into the finals as the
season leader in the Barrel
Racing and she was 8th in
District 1 for the Breakaway
Roping with a few go round wins
she ended up winning the
Alberta Finals in the Barrel
Racing and placing 4th in the
Breakaway. That qualified Sayge
to go to the National High School
Rodeo Finals 2021 in Lincoln,
Nebraska.
Way to go Sayge!!
Kayce Liptak has also had a great showing this year
so far. She placed 2nd at Provincials, just behind
Sayce Turcato. This meant that she also qualified to
go to the National High School Rodeo Finals 2021
in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The Taber Thrashers get a season after all! With vaccinate numbers up and COVID cases dropping substantially
after a short shutdown the Lacrosse league got the green light to play. And play they did! If you enjoy watching
playing a high-intensity, high-contact sport, then this is a game for you! With the Lacrosse league in its infancy in
^ber (this is just the second season of play) the team did a stellar job working on basic skills, learning plays, and
Alling as a team unit. They definitely had their ups and downs where the scoreboard was concerned. But considering
^ey were up against teams with many more years experience, the Thrashers had a phenomenal season!
