403-485-8443Vulcan County Division 5 Update
For the month of August, we had our usual two meetings. September will be busy with all the committees meeting again.
We are looking at changing the tax by-law for linear taxes. This would apply to all energy projects, oil and gas included. The project would have to over 100,000,000.00 to qualify. The projects also have to be new, so no projects that already have development permits issued. This by-law caps the mill rate at 10 mills, which is above what the County is charging now. This bylaw also only applies to the municipal portion of the taxes. This by-law also lets us police certain issues on site, if there is problem, we can cancel the agreement. There will be an open house on this by-law.
If you have any question on financial matters for the County, please take a look at our website. We have new interactive financial pages that everyone can access and obtain information from. We also have the interactive grading map up and running. If you see anything that would make things more user friendly, please let me know. We are trying to make the website as friendly as possible.
Please remember that FCSS is in Vulcan and they are there to help the people in our County, with food or emergency issues. FCSS has been renovating their kitchen and it will be a nice addition to the Youth Centre.
We had a by-law proposal to allow cisterns and septic tanks on certain sites, before the dwelling has been built. It was turned down. If you would like to discuss this, give me a call.
We are still having problems in the County with ambulances and are trying to come up solutions. If any one has any idea, please contact me. This is a province wide issue and we are just one of the areas that are trying to come up with something that will help solve the problem, that AHS would agree with.
My county number is 403-423-0149, if you want to discuss any County business please call! My email is [email protected] if that is a better way to communicate. Thank you for letting me serve you for this term.

FIRE RESTRICTION
August 2, 2022
Under the Authority of the Vulcan County Fire Services Bylaw It 2017-003, Vulcan County has enacted a Fire Restriction.
Vulcan County has issued a Fire Restriction due to the dry, windy, and warm conditions that exist and are forecasted. There is a very high risk of fire spread during windy conditions in any cured (dead and dry} grass fuel type, such as those that exist across the County. All fire permits have been revoked and no new permits will be issued at this time. Due to the rapidly changing weather conditions and the fine fuel moisture content, Vulcan County may move to a Ban with little to no notice. Check the Vulcan County website and the Alberta Fire Bans website for the most up to date information.
This Fire Restriction is in effect until further notice.FIND US ON THE WEB! WWW.MILOLIBRARY.CA

Summer Reading J I Club I
After two months filled with reading, crafting, and playing, Tuesday. August 23rd was the last day of this year's Summer Reading Program. We had a great turnout every week, and overall it was a huge success! On our last day we read The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by William Joyce. Afterward the group collectively decorated a poster themed around the book to hang in the library. We then moved on to a game tournament where the group was split into two teams. The teams faced off with a book scavenger hunt, musical chairs, bingo, and charades. There were a few more activities sprinkled in. with each game earning the teams points. The winning team got to pick prizes from our prize table so the competition was fierce! At the end of the program, we also drew for our large prizes, one of which included a gift card and a book!
Summer Reading Program 2022 was full of fun and excitement. Thank you to everyone who came, parents, and volunteers. The program would not be possible without you! We hope to see you next summer!

116 RAILWAY AVENUE, MILO ABMilo Lions create beautiful gazebo on Milo’s Main Street!
Drive or stroll down Main Street in Milo, and you will find true beauty on the site of the old Post Office. The gazebo and surrounding landscaping are the gift of the Milo Lions club.
The quality of the work must be seen to be believed, but behind the finished product are hundreds of man hours in planning, materials construction, and assembly.
Local architect Mike Collins did the design work, and served as project manager. His vision for the space has resulted in a stunning used of the area provided, considering the dimensions of the lot.
The wood is actually reclaimed from 'retired' cedar power poles! Days were spent moving the poles, then sawing them into the required beams etc. at Pete Silbernagel's personal mill. From there the materials were planed to spec, and assembled for transportation to the site.
Concrete was poured to start, giving the structure a solid foundation, later followed by days of hard work. It is worth noting that given the average age of the Lions construction crew, considerable care (and bravery!) was required to perform the ladder work and roof finishing. A bit of professional landscaping completed the site.
The result is a true gift to the town, that adds character and beauty.

Copyright Corner (September, 2023)
No full text1
Copyright Corner, September/October 2023
With this issue we resume a bimonthly column on copyright issues of broad relevance to U Lethbridge academic staff. You can find prior columns here.
Predictable Opposition to Educational Fair Dealing Ahead of Copyright Act Review
The Copyright Act requires Parliament to review the Act every five years, but we have yet to hear from the federal government about when and how it will conduct the review that should have commenced in 2022. The first five-year review of the Act launched in 2017 was widely consultative and yielded a thorough, well-rounded report in 2019. The report includes 36 recommendations on how Canadian copyright law might be improved, one of which suggests that the fair dealing provision be made more flexible. To date, very few of the report’s recommendations have been acted upon, however.
Ahead of the next review, copyright collectives, publishers, and creator organizations have mounted media campaigns to pressure lawmakers to roll back some of the progressive amendments to the Act passed in 2012. An example is the July announcement by Access Copyright (AC) that it faces operational downsizing and restructuring due to “mass, systemic free copying of creators’ works by Canada’s education sector outside of Quebec since 2012.” This unfounded claim is made despite the 2021 Supreme Court decision in York v. AC, which determined that blanket licensing is not mandatory. A retired Canadian legal counsel and fair dealing advocate notes other examples in a blog post chastising a national newspaper for spreading “conspicuous copyright canards” in misinformation-riddled opinion pieces.
Canadian librarians and copyright educators have countered misleading allegations of rampant infringement by educational institutions with statements and peer-reviewed articles. I highly recommend the following sources.
• An article in The Conversation by Savage and Zerkee, “Copyright exceptions in Canadian education aren’t a loophole, they’re essential,” provides plain facts on how the shift to digital access has resulted in libraries continuing to pay for access to scholarly content, but with the (hefty) fees today going directly to publishers and distributors rather than to copyright collectives acting as intermediaries, as they did in the past.
• Another article in The Conversation by Selman and Swartz, “Secondary publishing rights can improve public access to academic research,” proposes to amend the Copyright Act to ensure that all academic authors have the legal right to make their scholarly articles publicly available, no matter the kind of publishing agreement they happened to sign. This would bolster the central goal of the open access movement, since it remains the case that most authors publish with commercial publishers who require authors to grant them a complete transfer of copyright or exclusive publishing license.
• The Canadian Federation of Library Associations (CFLA) released a statement in August entitled “Don’t Blame Copyright for Declining Revenue. It Won’t Help Authors.” The statement reminds readers of the critically important and enduring fact that “libraries and librarians support education in colleges and universities across Canada and they support authors through their purchases,” and explains why it is untrue that “students 2
and educators are stealing content.” It also notes ways in which we can help authors in need of income supports.
A couple of times over the last several years, ULFA colleagues who used to receive modest AC royalty payments have asked me why they shouldn’t feel short-changed by the absence of those small cheques. In the moments that those brief exchanges afforded, I feel I’ve never managed to respond adequately. There are compelling factual and economic reasons that underlie the decision of many Canadian educational institutions, including ours, to move away from AC’s blanket copying license. But in the face of concerted media campaigns to spread disinformation, it’s easy to see how even our educators can be misled. I hope the above sources shed some light on the reasons why blanket licensing, in general, does not serve the needs of Canadian post-secondary institutions today.
Copyright Protection Lasts 20 Years Longer in Canada
For the first time since Canada’s modern-day Copyright Act came into force in 1924, the arrival of a new year on January 1, 2023, did not bring with it the usual influx of newly copyright-free works into the Canadian public domain. That’s because as of December 30, 2022, the term of copyright in Canada changed from the life of a creator plus 50 years after death to life plus 70 years after death. This means we will have to wait until January 1, 2043 before the cycle of annual additions to the Canadian public domain resumes.
In the interim, all works by creators who died in 1971 or earlier remain in the Canadian public domain where anyone can produce or reproduce, publicly perform, or publish those works with no worries about copyright. In other words, the December 30, 2022 amendment to the Act did not revive copyright in any works that were already in the public domain in Canada on that day. Since copyright is territorial, each country may set its own term of copyright in national legislation, but since most countries are members of the Berne Convention, the term of copyright around the globe is almost always at minimum the life of a creator plus 50 years after death.
Copyright and AI
This kettle of fish continues to churn vigorously, as you may have noticed! At the moment, two burgeoning issues surrounding copyright and artificial intelligence (AI) are i) whether copyright can protect content generated by (or mostly by) AI, and ii) whether the large language model approach involves infringement of the copyrights subsisting in protected works that the AI content-generating process “ingests. As far as I know, to date we have no case precedents in Canada that grapple with either of these questions. But in August, a U.S. district court ruled in Thaler v. Perlmutter that the U.S. Copyright Office was right to deny the plaintiff’s copyright registration application for a piece of visual art allegedly created by an AI program they wrote. The main reason for the court’s ruling was that “human authorship is an essential part of a valid copyright claim.” For a synopsis of the decision, see this post by a Canadian copyright expert.
As I continue to mull over the complex issues intertwined in questions involving copyright and AI/ChatGPT, and its ilk, I find this article, The AI-copyright Challenge: Tech-Neutrality, Authorship, and the Public Interest (Craig, 2022) to be a useful touchstone. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling to make sense of things. It begins by introducing the key questions 3
posed by generative AI poses within the scheme of copyright and suggests that “whether in service of creativity and culture, or simply in service of capital, the copyright system is perfectly capable of absorbing this latest innovation and continuing about its business as it has so many times before.” It then discusses what purposes copyright is meant to serve and the enduring importance of the concept of “technological neutrality.” The heart of the article addresses the two main questions of whether an AI program can be an “author” (spoiler alert: in the author’s view, no!) and whether AI-generated works infringe copyright (in the author’s view, also no).
As always, feel free to reach out if you would like some help with a copyright conundrum in your teaching or research.

DEDICATION
Mr. A. D. Selinger B. A., B. Ed., M. Ed.
It's with a feeling of considerable loss that W. R. Myers High School learned of the departure
of our esteemed principal, Mr. A. D. Selinger. He has accepted a position as co-ordinator of
secondary education with Jasper Place School District No. 45. Mr. Selinger has been principal of
the secondary school in Taber for the past six years, during which time the school has undergone a
large physical development and the number of students enrolled and teachers have doubled.
As an active influence in education in Southern Alberta, Mr. Selinger has held the positions
of president, vice-president and councillor of the Taber Local, Alberta Teachers' Associations,
president and vice-president of the South-West Alberta Teachers' Associations, first director of the
Southern Alberta Inspectorate Area co-operative Testing Program, chairman of the Taber Economic
Policy Committee and negotiating sub-committee. He is also a member of the Council on School
Administration and has been elected a member of the Canadian College of Teachers.
We, the pupils and teachers of Myers High wish Mr. Selinger happiness and success in
his new venture.

PRINCIPAL’S
MESSAGE
We live, as each generation probably has and will, in an exciting era. Massive advances are
taking place in every field of human endeavour, including both the physical and social sciences. To
prepare our place in this burgeoning society will take a great deal of planning and study on the part
of each individual.
We must pin down the areas in which our interests lie and then objectively assess our abilities.
Are our interests compatible with our abilities? We must be realistic but at the same time not overly
shy about shooting at a high goal. In our pre-employment training we must carefully select the
correct subjects. To ensure a proper selection we should consult with all the resources available to
us -- the home, industry, the churches and the school.
The alternative to carefully choosing a vocation is wasteful experimentation. Jumping from one
job to another without proper training is no substitute for fruitful planning and preparation. Life is
too short and time too precious to allow for such wastage.
Young people today are in an extremely fortunate position. Literally millions of dollars, along
with vast human energies, are being poured into the provisions of new and additional educational and
training facilities; facilities such as vocational and technical institutes. Junior and community
colleges, private schools, apprenticeship training and so forth. The people who will be trained in
these institutions will be the people you will have to compete with for jobs and in our society. Don't
be caught short --be farsighted, plan and think ahead and work energetically toward the realistic goal
which you set for yourself.
And one thought on what type of a person you should strive to be. A famous philosopher, Kant,
once said something to the effect that we should never use another human being as a means to an end,
but should treat each human being as an end in himself. This is, of course, but a restatement of the
Golden Rule: do unto others as you would be done unto. Respect the innate dignity possessed by
each human regardless of his differences to you of age, race, creed or beliefs. If you wield authority,
and most of us do or will, wield it wisely to achieve an aim, not merely for self-satisfaction or to
prove yourself, better than another. Do not be hasty in judgments; think before you act. Sincerely
attempt to follow the above briefly outlined precepts and you cannot fail to be a success as a human
being and to achieve tranquility and peace of mind.

VALEDICTORY
Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Parents, Teachers, and Fellow Students:
It has been said that life is a long and arduous sea-voyage, cruel and trying at times, but rewarding
at others. Each little craft strives to overcome the treacheries of the voyage, its soul refusing
to die. Crashing waves, unexpected fogs, and lurking reefs confront them, but they refuse to bow to
the sea. As they reach their destinations, the anxiety and grief of the journey is all but forgotten, with
only the glory of the moment remaining.
We are like these boats, plowing the restless sea. Both the bitterness of failure and sweetness of
success have not shaken us from the course, only conditioning us for the problems what lie ahead. Many
doubts arose in our minds that we would not complete this venture, but even in our trying moments we
kept our flames of hope and determination burning. In the process we developed honesty, perseverance,
good citizenship, and, above all, the readiness to help others in need.
Our deepest gratitude goes to those who piloted us across the rough sea. To the teachers we give
our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for their patience and unceasing effort in leading us down new
avenues of knowledge and in opening our eyes to the realities of life. To the parents our esteemed
love for the sacrifices they have made in our behalf, comforting us in times of stress. We can never
repay them for their understanding and for the help they unselfishly gave us whenever we needed it.
Now as we have reached our harbour, the safety of the first port, our eyes turn to the voyages
ahead. Undoubtedly, we will encounter many more terrifying storms that will tax our ingenuity and
courage to the utmost. All we can do is strive to keep our faith and hope. At these times, the
knowledge and endurance we acquired during the past twelve years, will help us bridge these crises.
When we make our exit, whatever our destination, let us remember this night as a solemn highlight,
a time when we take the helm in our search for integrity and honour.
And as we face the future, confident and with heads held high, we are bouyed up with the
knowledge and discipline of the past and with the strength of our parents and friends so that we seek
out the future, as a poet said, "strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield."
CLASS HISTORY
Mr. Chairman, honoured guests, respected teachers, and fellow graduands, it is my privilege to
present to you the history of this exalted and immortal class. My job is to bring back memories of
what is past. We, the graduands, are like mountaineers; still climbing, the past is hazy and the summit
is cloudy, only the present seems real.
To summarize the history of this class I suppose that the best place to start would be the beginning
— Grade one. For many of us this beginning was in the dormitory, at which place the first two years
of our formal education took place. Here we made many new friends and developed a changed outlook
on life. In Grade three there was another change when we were shipped over to the Central
School for a year.
Grade Four founds us in a new school, the Dr. Hamman. We spent three years in this school and
upon leaving at the end of Grade Six it was apparent that the school was no longer new.
Grade Seven found us back in Central with many major changes. Our numbers were augmented
by the Southside Class, but were radically decreased by the opening of St. Mary's School. Also in
Grade Seven we began to take a greater part in this democracy of ours by participation in student
government.
Then we came to glorious old T. H. S. in grade nine. Here we faced initiation and departmentals.
Somehow we managed to survive the onslaught of both of these, but I'm afraid T. H. S. didn't survive
us because the next year the name was changed to W. R. Myers High School. Upon reaching Grade Ten
we were somewhat surprised to see many new faces -- students from Taber’s westerly suburb --
Barnwell.
Most of us managed to somehow struggle through grades ten and eleven, and on to twelve. For
many of us this will be the final year of schooling, for others a few more years at University or other
training institutions loom ahead. Whatever we do let us hope we will make the best of our education.
Our parents and teachers have struggled long hours to get us this far. We owe it to them as well as to
ourselves to achieve greater things than we have been doing; as Mr. Semaka constantly reminds us.
Now we have reached Grade Twelve, we find we have developed from unsure kids in Grade One to
the outspoken intellectual giants we are today. We must be in possession of vast intelligence or how
else could we strike our teachers speechless by our answers, and inspire such profound remarks of
wisdom from Mr. Semaka about us.
In approximately a month we will say good-bye to M. H. S. forever. Although we shall soon be
leaving we will never forget the glorious days at school. We shall reserve a special place in our
hearts for these memories, to look back upon them as we travel along the pathway of life.
CLASS PROPHECY
by LINDA LITCHFIELD
In nineteen-hundred and ninety three Somebody soared from the galaxy To see what's beyond this earth of ours An just what inhabits the millions of stars. With BOB as captain the ship to steer Safe -driving he must practice here While in and out through the planetoids He pilots well and disaster avoids.
RICK ANDERSON'S there right at his side
He went along just for a ride
To get away's why he did roam
From nagging wife and ten kids back home.
And a rev. they must take along
So along went DOUGLAS ANDERSON. And a psychiatrist they needed too So DEAN went to see what he could do To help the Marians find some solutions And convince them that humans weren't confusion EVELYN CRADDUCK, a woman so fair Went along their meals to prepare Home Ec., in college she studied for years An preparing their meals gave her no fears. PAUL BOSE went along too, to plot the course Check the wind drift, but to their remorse Paul just couldn't keep the records straight So they went in circles and left much to debate. While back on earth the grads did grand MASSEY AND CAROL formed a band With Carol on piano and Massey on guitar They made good music but did not go far So they gathered some players from everywhere And started to play an original air While playing at Carnegie Hall out at Cranford This music, the building just wouldn't stand for It started to shake and began to collapse And that was the end of the great tune, perhaps. WAYNE had his head in the clouds all the time So decided to keep it there as a pastime A parachute jumper WAYNE SHEUERMAN became And practiced till he gained increasing fame. And before everyone of the jumps that he's made He'd gather some bets on just how long he'd take. RON JOHNSON, a famous actor became He loved playing in Shakespeare But they were too tame So he played Dr. Zorba To increase his fame.
Nurse PUTICI did travel afar With her doctoring husband They sent to Central Africa To study native customs. KAY SHIMBASHI studied pharmacy Blew up the lab trying to cure pleurisy So Kay decided a secretary to be
This occupation suits her more fittingly. DIANNE ODLAND set out on a horse To cross the Canadian expanse She said she would do it in 96 hours She did, just because of romance Her boyfriend was leaving in 100 hours From Halifax, headed to France. SANDRA ANDERSON became the leader Of U. of A's cheering squad
But producers saw her and liked her voice And put her in movies instead She'd beg for a new role She’d rant and she'd rave But the same as before As town crier she stayed.
ALAN and MENO joined the forces Protecting our country and its resourses Them in the airforce, Khrushchev feels safe They're manning bombers-that's our relief. In Nineteen hundred and ninety-six No one shed even a tear ROY ENDO was crowned in Toronto As bachelor of the year.
Now at the turn of this great century JIM DICK finally got his doctors degree Specializing in surgery.
CHARLES AVERY ran the Taber Times And printed all the news
And now he works for the Income Tax Cause he wouldn't pay his dues. GARY FENSKE made such eloquent speeches While campaigning to be an MP;
It wasn't only the speeches that led him To represent Barnwell constituency. DEANNA FRIESEN went in for a nurse But an actress she wanted to be She had her big break When she went for a take
As an assistant to Dr. Ben Casey.
MAX GOODFELLOW was also a star His good looks made him go far Once the public had heard him As a singer they spurned him For his vocal chords sounded ajar. Because she's concerned for mankind MARILYNE SMITH made a sensational find A hairtonic which grooms-as it shampoos Rid of dandruff and don't smell like boose. FRANK TACJNAR emerged a biology student In this field he was especially prudent If woman could dye their hair ye Iler Then cilia on amoeba too could take color. As a barber RON CONRAD was a sensation In time as result of his first occupation He concluded that if he forsook this ambition He would make money as a mortician. Now SUSIE'S collecting live octupi So necessary in her job of detection Her large octupus stands constantly byTo give her overwhelming protection. SID HALMA donned hat and gun Went into the jungle to get Just one of those little pink elephants We're hearing about even yet Interior decorating became the lifework Of one grad named MARGARET SCHAN Her first creations were just repeats But with shells and barnacles A stuffed fish or two Demand for early acquarium Now is not new.
Through stop signs and all red lights And traffic jams in dead of night, A woman taxi driver in old Manhattan Half of the city DONNA G did flatten. ANDY KONNO in his commonplace moods Decided that people should fly Made some wings and attached a propellor And soared several feet in the sky But all that goes up must always come down And Andy came to by and by.
Distinction-Just what JOAN J wanted For professionals she held high respect So off to school then back she came First woman welder you can detect. In Paris with fashion, working all day KEITH PETERSON was a noted coiffeur All at once he stopped working Began frantically searching His contact lenses-in someones poofed hair. LUCY took up track and field as a pro New records in racing her classes showed First she'd start the boys racing Girls begin after five minute spacing She advanced new ideas on a traditional theme Trying to keep boys ahead at full steam. To university JANET PETERSON went A waste of money and energy spent Her hopes were settled in Carnegie Hall But openings there were none at all As defeat set in, music, was ready to drop Hark on TV-Janet's snap, crackle and pop Little TOM TSUJI took up growing rice But instead made his fortune Raising pet mice.
ISOLDE to the corps of policewoman went There spent some time doing content Till HUGO in stylish police uniform clad Met her in Toronto and my were they glad Togetherness now they work as they can Her motto as his-they'll both get their man. CAROLYN EVANSON LIKED New York Yanks It seems for one player her heart did pine She's waiting and watching her manager claims Till Devon T signs on the same dotted VALENTINA and JOYCE made quite a team Together they patented a new freckle cream
That Valentina concocted from ideas big Joyce volunteered as her guinea pig. After hitch-hiking to Waterton Keith Harding thinks he'll go anywhere Says hitch-hikings full of thrills And shoe leather's the only fare His next big adventure I hear Is coming up very soon Just look up in the midnight sky See him hitching a ride to the moon.
After leaving school RUBY INGRAM married To Hollywood by her husband was carried They hit it lucky and made lots of dough Starring as Granny on the Hillbilly show LARRY KRAHN is getting on
At many careers he'd made a start
And so he spent his last few years In the culinary art.
DONNA CHRISTENSEN and MARTIN VANDERWAL Have some fortune and fame
Through the Olympics-in the ice-skating game.
As of this building JEAN MACHIDA did circumspect spurredher ambitions to be an architect.
With Mary Neilson's dress shop GORDON couldn't do finer He has DIANA TVERKUTES As his top dress designer.
DON MILLER said Dentistry is my call I think along with it I'll try football.
If I get them to knock the teeth out of their face I'm sure they consider stopping in at my place. GAYLE JENSEN, head of the AAA

An association Geyle set up all alone
To help poor creatures not desired at home And if this gay group you wish to phone As Amateur Astronomers they're commonly known. Instead of Bill's to take in her arms

PRINCIPAL’S
MESSAGE
Congratulations to the yearbook committee who have worked long and faithfully to produce the 1971
edition of "Memories". Between its covers are many items which symbolize a year ip the lives of a
great many people.
As I collect some ideas for a yearbook message my thoughts run back over the past seven years that
I have been associated with Myers School. Principals may come and go; students come and go; but the
school as an institution carries on. Each year or era makes its own contribution.
Over the past seven years the accomplishments of Myers School have been many and varied. Many
top scholars have excelled in the academic area, and many top athletes have excelled in the sports
field. The introduction and development of the band program added a valuable dimension to the school
program. The elective program has been extended to give students a wide selection of courses. The
Graduation Exercises have been developed into a pattern and tradition that is unrivaled. The junior
high modified program, the work experience, the driver education, special project credits, have each
served to meet the needs of groups of students.
A new era in communications has begun in which students' opinions are actively sought. Through
the established channels of student Council representatives or through individual entreaty students'
opinions and thoughts are presented and considered when policy decisions are being made.
To the students who are leaving Myers School, may I say best of luck in all your endeavours. Be
proud of what you have contributed to your fellow man. You are now part of a heritage and an alumni.
Never let anyone belittle you by attacking your heritage. It is what you have made it.
To the students who will be continuing at Myers School, I urge you to uphold the fine traditions of
your school. May all of your actions be such that you can look back with pride upon your contributions.

DEDICATION
Caretaker of our school, Mr. Tufts passed away on Thursday,
January 14, at an early age of 57. He was born in Taber on
November 23, 1913. Prior to his employment at the school in
1955, Mr. Tufts farmed in the Taber-Barnwell Area.
MR. CLARENCE TUFTS
Mr. Tufts was continually fixing something, finding lost articles and just helping the students in any way he could.
Six A.M. usually found him at work, checking thermostats in each room, servicing the heating units, replacing defective
electrical fixtures, touching up the floor wax, removing black heel marks from the floor, and almost countless other
little details to render the school acceptable to teachers and students.
We now realize the loss we have sustained. There will be others to succeed him but I feel he can never be replaced.
I feel he gave this school the most precious thing he had, "his life" . Emblazoned forever in our minds will be such words
as "Clarence Tufts - faithful to the end".
Wm. E. Litchfield........ Teacher
Mr. Tufts will long be remembered at Myers School, not only for his work as Caretaker, but more important for the
sincere interest he had in the students and in all school activities. This interest manifested itself in a cheerful willingness
to do extra work, to help students or teachers, or to return to the school after hours. Mr. Tufts was one who always went
the second mile in any aspect of his work as Caretaker at Myers School.
J.L. George........ Principal
The students of Myers have always appreciated the friendly disposition of Mr. Tufts, his willingness to help whenever
and wherever he could. As long as we can remember, Mr. Tufts has been a part of our school. It is for these reasons that
we, the students of Myers pay tribute to Mr. Tufts for his many years of service and devotion to the school.

and destruction in South Viet Nam, at Attica Prison, in Biafra and in East Pakistan have horrified the world.
The unemployment figures and hippies on our highways have an ominous air of foreboding for our way of life
How is a young high school student to prepare himself for entry into this chaotic adult world? Some are
taking to drugs while others have reconciled themselves early to living dangerously. But there is an effective
preparation to meet the challenges of the future! Education! Schools are striving to develop intellectual
strength and thinking competence to solve society's problems; to instill courage, faith and sound morality in
our young people in answer to the forces threatening our social structure. Be of good cheer, virtue, goodness
and work will prevail and dispel fear of the future!

VICE-PRINCIPAL’S
MESSAGE
The school has a specific function to perform in society, which it can only do if students are willing to
let it perform its task. The school has the responsibility of providing the facilities and the opportunities for
students to develop their potential. The real purpose and intent of the student in attending school should be
that he or she become the most effective person that it is possible to become while, taking advantage of the
opportunities here.
When students fail to achieve their objectives, the failure perhaps should be shared by three: the home,
the school and the student. The success or failure is mainly the result of communication or lack of it among
the three.
I would like to commend all those who have had a successful year at school and wish continued success in
the future. Keep the channels of communication open is my challenge to you in your days to come.

In February of 1980, W. R. Myers students were
asked, in sample polls taken by DAWN staff, to
express their opinions on various topics. Several
observations were made from the results. For example,
almost one-half of the favorite bands were Canadian.
Sports dominated student pastimes and Miss
Piggy beat out Bo Derek! All the Muppets showed up
a lot, in the celebrity column and under favorite
movie.
It was also discovered that about 25% of the students
rejected the conventional federal candidates
in favor of other parties, in most cases, the Rhinoceros
Party.
Here are the results:

Senior High Shennanigans
The year’s activities started out with
Sadie Hawkins Day, held on Oct. 19,
1979. During the day students and teachers
both dressed Hillbilly style. An assembly
held in periods three and four featured
a skit, explaining the origin of Sadie
Hawkins Day. After the skit had ended
the cookie eating contest began. Most of
the guys munching the store-bought
cookies had already baked their own earlier
that day in the cookie baking contest.
Finally Mr. Johnson, having survived the
cookie throwing contest with the audience,
was proclaimed the winner. First
prize was a chocolate chip cookie pillow.
Later that night a Sadie Hawkins dance
was held, with the girls inviting their
favorite guys. In addition to dancing, couples
could also have their pictures taken
against a farm-style backdrop or get
‘married’ for the duration of the dance by
Marryin' Sam (alias Mr. Johnson). A
knee-slapping good time was had by all.
On the 31 st of October, student council
proclaimed Hat Day. Students could
wear any type of hat they chose. Prizes
were awarded during the day for the best
hats in the following categories: biggest,
smallest, most original, most colorful,
weirdest, and best all 'round hat.
The second annual Green Friday was
held on March 14. The assembly featured
a collection of skits by the drama class, a
dance by the cheerleaders, and the
much awaited P.O.O.P. (Pig Out On Pie)
contest was held at the end of the assembly.
Thirteen students and two teachers,
dressed in garbage bags, participated in
P.O.O.P. After a lot of eating and even
more throwing of green pies, Greg Saunders
was unanimously declared the winner,
with five pies eaten.
The day wound up with a car stuffing
contest, won by the girls who stuffed 41
girls as compared to the boys’ 36. Nickel
Flicks, featuring Green Eggs and Ham,
and Green ice cream sold in the cafeteria
completed the fun.

‘The time has come . . .-to talk of many things . . Our last school year i| quickly
culminating, and our immediate pleasures and comforts are gradually succumbing to serious
considerations to the future"
We have looked forward to this day for the past twelve years And now that it is here, we
meet it with joy and perhaps a little sorrow.
What has been to us a way of life, a meeting place where children have become young
adults; will soon be but a memory.
And though we may fail to recognize, or to admit, our years of school have been very secure
and sheltered. Soon we will be in a new, probably uncomfortable position of having to be,.self-reliant
'in less familiar surroundings.
Though we will each proceed our own way, let us accept the,.adv

ZH1S4,
Tonight we are p| our class graduation. Soon we will be going out into a world
mi-adult world we should remember some of the people who
helped us arrive here. Those self-sacrificing martyrs who gave of their time and talents to help
us learn enough to graduate from high school.
I am, of course, referring to the teachers and administrators of our dear old Alma Mater
These people should most certainly be thanked for their efforts. In administration there are Mr
Kilback with his jovial manner. Mr. Ferguson for his amusing anecdotes And Mr Francis for
his films and his films and his films.
Some teachers have influenced us greatly too. Mr. Lusk with his ever changing apparel Mr
Hart tor his amazing sound effects, Mr. Cleland for his adherence to tradition, and Mr Johnson
whom we all took up to.
largely unknown to us. *
As we enter the adult.
These are but a few of the people who have helped us no end in preparing for this time.
As we go out into the world, all of us should remember that only we have to be satisfied with
our success. At no time should we let our ambitions become dominated by someone elses.
. Only your opinion is truly of significance.
Our experiences in the last twelve years have not completely prepared us for the upcoming
entrance into the outside world. Up to now we’ve always had our friends and family to lend us
their support. Now we will.be making our own decisions most of the time, it will no doubt be a

Every year a few students have the opportunity
to attend a school in a different country.
In 1988/89 Satoshi Hiraga and Roland Weisse
were able to come to Canada through the exchange
program.
Roland Manfred Weisse comes to us from
Herlazhofen, Baden-Wurttemberg, West Germany
(try saying that five times really fast!)
and was attending Grade 12 at W.R. Myers.
Roland is 17 years old and is living with his
mother because his parents are divorced. Other
members of his family are his older brother,
Pedro (30), and a sister, Carola (28).
When Roland first landed in Canada he was
amazed when he tried to analyze his new surroundings.
He expected Alberta to be more like
British Columbia and hoped that its occupants
wouldn't put a great strain on him to do well
in school.
Roland describes himself as a moody person
and he dreams of being a painter. With a more
realistic outlook, he sees himself working in
the area of engineering science in the future.
While he was here he enjoyed the parties, most
of his subjects, and the movies. If he could,
he would like to show the students at W.R.
Myers a place called, "Cafe Drops”, where his
friends, who he misses the most, and he like
to go.
When he journeys to his homeland, the first
thing he will tell his friends about W.R. Myers
is, "Excellent dudes, I liked almost everything
about Myers." He thinks he will probably come
back one day.
When he was asked what he wanted people
to remember about him, he replied, "I don’t
know . . . whatever they want to think, they
should think.”
Satoshi Hiraga.came here from Yokohama (near
Tokyo), Japan. He was in Grade 12 at W.R.
Myers although he took grade 7 band. Sato
(short for Satoshi) is 17 and he lives with his
parents, his brother, Atsuko (16), and his dog,
Tera.
Sato was very nervous arriving here because
he is scared of flying but he swallowed his
fear and made it safe and sound. In the following
months, he planned to have fun and study
the English culture.
Satoshi found Canada's program for schooling
very different from Japan's. For instance, in
Japan all the students are required to wear
school uniforms. There are about 1000
students in Sato’s school, which averages out
to about 50 people in a class. Students stay
in the same classroom all day, unlike here;
and they also have to go to school on Saturday
morning! He liked W.R. Myers for it was
easy for him to make friends. "My school has
more than 1000 people. That’s not fair, no fun.
Japanese are shy, so I can’t make friends.”
He describes himself as, "Nice and friendly,
outgoing - hopefully!” but he doesn’t know
what his plans for the future are yet.
If he could, he would like to show the students
of W.R. Myers the trains he goes to school on
everyday. He enjoys the trains. They are full
of many people and he feels that, that
represents Japan.
He was a little homesick and missed his family
and friends.
When he gets home, the first thing he is going
to say about W.R. Myers is, "Great! It was
awesome!” He plans on coming back to
Canada; and when he does, he hopes to bring
some friends with him. He would like to travel
and see new things and other parts of Canada.
He wanted W.R. Myers school to remember
him, his bikini shorts, and his nicest bum
award. Finally, he would just like to tell all
Myers students, "Don’t drink too much!”
7
The Myers’ Fun Day was a roaring success.
All the students went down to the provincial
park to compete in events in order to
show which grade would prevail. The participation
from all the students and the
warm weather combined assured everyone
of having a great time.

Pep Rallies bring the school together in a fun kind of way; the laughter and
excitement, and winners and losers add up to what most of us call the
highlights of school activities. Teachers even get involved with activities such
as sheet volleyball, and the macaroni and tomato eating contest.

the titles. With a lot of brain-wracking, frustration, and hard work,
we have learned to act as a team to not only make goals but
achieve them. On behalf of the Student Council, I would like to
thank you, the students, for your part in making the dances, tun
days, and pep rallies a success. As president, I would also like to
thank my fellow members for all their time, effort, and patience
this year: Carrie, for all her quiet work in the background; Mandi,

done; Sina, for always being on the up; Brent, for being ready with

We did it guys! Key Club has made it through yet another year with no major
disasters! We struggled with some rough times, but we all pulled through.
We held the Halloween Dance this year, along with an attempt at a bakesale,
and we all slept through a wake-a-thon. The things people do for a little , eh? We put a lot of work and effort into the Key Club Convention
that we were to host, only to have it cancelled on us due to a lack of
registrants. To make up for this loss, we all went up to Calgary for a day.
I hope we keep the Key Club going throughout summer. It’d be nice to finish
my experience in Key Club with a wild camping trip with you goons!
To conclude I’d like to say a gigantic, enormous thank you to the BIG EIGHT.
You all know who you are. You were there in everything we did and I thank
you. We couldn’t have made it without you! Key Club members relax after bakesale.
Thanks for an interesting year,

The 1988-89 season commenced with much
excitement and enthusiasm following a
N.C.A. Cheerleading Camp at Montana State
University which two of our returning girls attended.
The knowledge and skills acquired
proved beneficial as our first competition
held at L.C.I gave us a third place win.
The girls gained experience performing at the
Western Canada Triple A Boys Basketball
Tournament in Kelowna which put them at
ease for the zone competition held at our
school. Again, we placed second offering us a
berth at Provincial Competition in Edmonton
where we placed fourth.
Although we didn’t end the year with as
strong a finish as in previous years, I felt the
girls acquired the understanding of what it
takes to be a winner. Such a long season offers
time to look back at where we began
with over one-half of the squad being new to
cheerleading and to see where we finished.
I’m proud to have had the opportunity to
once again work with such a fun group of
young women who never cease to teach me
as much as I teach them. A good-bye and
good luck to Shondi Bly and Kordi Pierson,
our two graduating cheerleaders.

JOURNALISM
Journalism has been great this year. Everyone has worked hard to conform
to restrictions and deadlines that had to be met. We have had
our ups and our downs as we have gone through the year. Our downs
came when we misplaced pictures but to balance it out we had our
ups when the layout of a page worked out perfectly. We want the
ultimate "up” to be your approval of this yearbook. Have fun with it
and remember all the good times we had together. We hope this yearbook
helps keep the memories alive.

GRAD COMMITTEE
The grad committee has met once a week
every week in order to make decisions concerning
graduation. They have tried their
hardest to ensure the graduating class of '89
the best grad possible.
A couple of decisions the committee has
made are that the colors this year are
fuchsia, silver and white and that the theme
is "If you put your heart in it, your dreams
can take you anywhere." The committee has
also chosen Forever Young and When You Put
Your Heart In It as the grad songs.
The entire Grade 12 class sold oranges to
finance grad and we had enough money left
to assist the Yearbook financially.
The committee has worked hard this year
knowing that their efforts will be rewarded
on May 26/89 as friends and family take
pride with them in the success of grad.

CHOIR
The choir this year contains 25 girls of varying degrees of vocal expertise.
Therefore, we first started with simple unison songs that eventually led
the choir to sing in three part harmony and eventually a cappella. There
were only two appearances this year for the choir: one at the Fall concert
and one at Christmas time. A sextette provided Christmas music for the
Kiwanis Carol Festival at the L.D.S. Stake Center. The event was televised
on CFAC channels 2+7. Kristi Layton, one of our feature soloists, also
appeared in a solo spot.

May 17 the Concert Band hosted the Card-ston
Concert Band in an exchange program.
Also, on May 22, the Stage Band combined

This year was the first full year that the Peer Support team functioned in Myers High School. The group planned and invited various guest
speakers on several interesting topics and many students attended these presentations. Tutoring was provided by Peer Support members to
students in the school and new students were introduced to the school by team members.
Most importantly, many hours of team training occurred which will allow students to assist peers with personal concerns. In the 1989-1990
school year, this service will be introduced.
Special thanks to all team members for their dedication and to all the Grade 12's, we will miss you.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
TABER HIGH SCHOOL
TABER - ALBERTA
Office Of The Principal
At a Zoo even the most casual of observers must notice the differences
that exist among the animals. A more careful observer would notice the similarities
and perhaps also the “human characteristics” of some of the animals.
He would be wrong, of course. These “human characteristics” are really animal
characteristics found in human beings. A human being is an animal — made
of flesh and blood — he has legs, arms, body, eyes, ears and a nose. True, a
human being stands erect on his hind legs (very unhealthy) has less body hair
or fur than most animals, his sense of smell, sight and hearing is usually
less keen than that of other animals, his claws are shorter and his teeth less
sharp. Man’s surface advantages seem to be that he is a large animal
and has a thumb which opposes his fingers and enables him to grasp objects
readily.
What sometimes seems to be a less easily recognized difference is man’s
ability to think rationally and logically. As far back as Aristotle’s time and
before, the ability to think has been recognized as a distinctive human characteristic
— one that animals do not possess in even the most infinitesimal degree.
It is this ability to think that has enabled man to shape his environment to
suit himself rather than being forced to conform to his physical surroundings.
Man has also brought about a social order which is in a constant state of flux.
A mark of humanity is constant change, progress and development. A mark of
other animals is a static order. A colony of bees three thousand years ago would
be organized and react in the identical manner as does a colony of bees today.
Question: Since man thinks, why doesn’t he progress more rapidly? Why
is he still faced with a multitude of problems that faced his ancestors many
hundreds of years ago? A general answer is that in each human a constant
war is in progress between his animal nature and his human nature. His body
cries aloud for sensual pleasures that some humans are too weak-willed to
resist. In short their animal nature triumphs over their human nature. And
each time this happens in an individual human it affects, if even in only a small
degree, the entire human race. Multiply the occurrance by the millions of
humans in the world and by the number of times it occurs in each human
daily, and you begin to get a faint idea of the answer to our question.
Instead of thinking logically a person tends to rationalize, or to put it more
bluntly, he thinks with his stomach rather than his brains. Emotions, prejudices,
bias and intuition become substitutes for clear thinking. An animal reacts in
a situation according to its instincts, no rational thought is involved and, sadly
enough, too many human beings react in the same manner. It is easier than
thinking. Thinking is hard work, harder than physical labor, and drains the
body of energy so human beings prefer to avoid such strenuous effort.
Our present world is one of giant strides forward in both material and
moral areas .We have advanced more materially in the past fifty years than
we have in the previous ten thousand. While individual morality has shown no
remarkable improvement, collective morality, that is recognizing that we are
our brother’s keeper, has advanced very rapidly since the great economic depression
of the thirties.We are living in a world of dizzying advances and mighty
ideological conflicts. We have a long way to go. Thank God that we have men
who recognize that the purpose of life is not to pursue pleasure but to assume
responsibility as human beings or our race would perish. High school students
have reached a time in their life when they must consider: to be a man or to
submit to the indignity of letting our animal nature get the upper hand.
Which will you choose? Think!

Hi-Li les A good school is a priceless
asset. It is one which is
meeting the educational
needs of its community as
adequately as possible. It is
characterized by a strong
sense of teamwork among
the administration, the teaching
body, the non-teaching
personnel ,the students and
the public. An essential
element of a good school is
or morale.
Chemistry students are such cowards.

INITIATION
“Come on, let’s go!”
The latest style.
“So, that’s what those
bicycle racks are for!”
When I was young I used to think
The boys were sweet as pie,
But when I think of what I thunk
I think I thunk a lie!
“What happened?”
“You’re heavy, Cynthia!”
“Don’t be so mean”.
“Neat outfit, no?”
“Gee, whiz!”

CLASS
HISTORY
SANDRA VAN ORMAN
Mr. Chairman, respected teachers, honored guests and fellow
'graduands, it is my pleasure to give you the history of this great
and illustrious class.
It’s amazing what 12 relatively short years have done to develop
us from small, cowering, timid little beginners to our present status
as intellectual giants, who daily astound our teachers with our profound
wisdom — why else do they shake their heads in bewilderment
when we contribute our viewpoints? Let’s take a look at what
has happened during these 12 years to bring about such a metamorphosis.
Our physical environment has also changed considerably. For
a few months in Grade one we went to school for half a day in a
small white building beside the United Church. Grade 2 and the
completion of Grade 1 were spent in the building which now houses
the Workshop. The next year we went to school in the clump of
buildings to the west of the Central School; next we went to the
Central School, and finally in Grade 9 to the high school. Bordering
next door to the high school, we can see what future students will
soon be enjoying.
From the instructions and teachings received during the elementary
grades we built a good background in the “three R’s”, language
techniques and the natural sciences.
Junior high ushered in a new phase in which we commenced
experimenting with responsibility and independence. Who can forget
the fun of class competition in drama and sports? Social activities
such as dancing and dating were an important addition to the
curriculum.
Grade 9 intrdouced us to new experiences such as a hectic
initiation day and the worries and strains of departmental exams.
Then we entered high school, the last phase of our general
education. At this time we had to decide what fields of endeavor
to choose and what courses to take.
In Grade 10, our numbers were augmented by the Barnwell
and Cranford students, but we lost many of our old friends when
the St. Mary’s School was opened. Along the way we lost others
who took some of the many by-roads along the highway of education.
The rest of us stumbled on and now we are celebrating what
we have been striving for ever since we started school —
Graduation!
Talent? Why yes, of course, we have talent. The President of
the Students Union and many of the leaders of the various clubs
come from this great graduating group. Besides leadership, some
in our class have gained recognition for their achievements in
music, citizenship, athletics, and academic subjects.
As we look back, hundreds of memories come crowding into our
minds of things accomplished and knowledge gained for which we
are grateful to our teachers, parents and fellow students. But
mostly we are looking forward and planning for a bright future.
In another month we will have to say good bye to T.H.S. and
most of the things we have known and taken for granted all our
lives. We will always have a special place in our hearts for these
past memories of school and social affairs.

STEVE PALLAY
I’d like to thank my co-operative 'Staff
and advisors for the wonderful assistance
I’ve received during this past
year. It’s really been a pleasure and
rewarding experience to be editor of
“Dawn 1960” and I sure hope all of you
enjoy it.
I wish the best of luck to everyone in
his chosen field, and to sum up, I think
the most appropriate poem is one written
by a T.H.S. graduate.
Yours truly,

Students in Action
WHAT LIES AHEAD?
The road’s been long and rugged,
The jolts have not been few,
And many times we’ve gotten stuck
But still we’ve made it through.
The ruts were deep, the grade was steep.
Our travel has been slow.
The crossroads were so numerous
We knew not by which to go.
But at last we’ve made the highway,
The dirt roads are behind.
And as others go on by us
These thoughts flash through our minds:
Will we have the strength and stamina
To keep up with the pace?
Or will we be a straggler?
In this grueling human race?
It would be a great deal easier
To stick to the wagon trail
Than to venture out on the highway
Where speed and power prevail.
But if we have built our engines
With only the best of parts
Then although we may be frightened
We’ll know within our hearts
That we’ll somehow reach our object
Although it be far away,
While the others whose makings are paltry
Will drop out along the way .

McNeil, Guest speaker

Walter Shworan
It is my duty to give the farewell address. I hope that what I say is in your
own hearts and will linger with you always.
Somewhat prognostically you may imagine that I will attempt to give you some
advice at this opportune moment, which is for most of you, the pinnacle of your education.
You could be right. Reflect for a moment upon your past twelve years of
tedious but needy schooling and ask yourself this one question, “What is the greatest
skill, concept, or idea that I have been taught or I have learned?” It is a difficult
question, I know, and it takes careful investigation for the correct reply. Well, in
what field did this endeavor lie? Chemistry? Mathematics? English? or Social
Studies? If you also delve more pensively into your subconscious you will perceive
that it has been the ability to reason clearly, almost instinctively, and to think liberally,
freely. Yes, to think. This mental gift, talent or ability is your greatest achievement.
It is and will be the greatest solver of the world’s problems —your problems. Therefore,
the next time that you are floored by the query, “And what are you going to do
about it?” you can THINK of the proper rebuttal.
Now, graduates, gaze at one another, into your classmates eyes, and wordlessly
congratulate one another for each other’s good fortune and worthy company. You
have accomplished a remarkable feat, one which one or two years ago you had believed
to be almost unattainable — you are graduating! But then look with a more jealous
eye at the more, as some say intelligent person and whistfully remark, “Why was I so
darn lazy? Bah, I could have achieved twice as much if I had only half tried!” Nonetheless,
we still got here. We did it!
Hold on there! Don’t be so vainglorious. Your teachers too deserve some
miserly fraction of the credit for your noteworthy accomplishment. It is with smug
satisfaction that they look upon you and ponder, “Yes, he sure was some student but
lucky for him, he was also My student.” Thus to those efficient experts of enlightenment
we gratefully say, “Thank you. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.”
And as it happens every year, some sentimental ignoramus, on June 30, shall say with
true misty eyes, and dejected and tremulous voice, “I’m really going to miss you.”
To Taber High School, our stately Alma Mater, goes an avalanche of thanks and
a bid of adieu. Your narrow halls and sweet musty rooms shan’t ever be forgotten.
Lastly, humble thanks are to shower our parents. Without the support of their
firm hand and generous resources our success would not have been possible in the
slightest degree. “Rejoice, Mom and Dad! I’m finally graduating!” is a heartfelt cry
which is often met by a sigh of relief by every loyal parent. Yet, witn it go the
pathetic words of the parent, “Maybe he can now survive and live off the rest of this
greedy world.” or “Maybe she can now find some sucker to support her.” No, their
thoughts are not quite that lowly. This poem by Virginia Brasier best express their
emotion at this time.
THE CROSSING
It takes strong kindness and it takes kind strength
And painful self-restraint to let the young
Go out beyond our fenced protective length.
It takes a firm-lipped grasp upon the tongue.
Whatever is a sterner trial than this,
To let our best-loved cross the strange abyss
On bridges we have built? (For men are frail
And fallible — and what if they should fail?)
Yet how was the bridge built on which they walk?
A thousand little times of tender talk.
A thousand watchful nights when prayers were said
And kisses dropped upon a sleepy head.
A weave of backyard-play and picnic-days
Of hurts and fights and punishment and praise,
Of honesty for honesty’s bright sake
And trust to own to an adult mistake.
And good hot food and cold milk shared, and chores
Arithmetic and mounds of apple cores.
The bridge is good! The bridge was strongly woven.
What was it built for? If not to be proven!
We fear their very lack of fear and then
They leave as children and come back to us as men.
22
Therefore, Mom and Dad, your unfaltering love and encouragement may not
have been justly deserved but do not be disappointed with us, ever! Soon we shall
not only find, but we will build you that pot of gold at the end of the many-hued rainbow.
Parting is such sweet sorrow . . .
And seniors, strive for university and other great halls of learning. To you
students who will fail to cont

BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE
School spirit was at a brand new high this year
with pep rally attendance at nearly one hundred
percent, and dances also attracting excellent
numbers of students. I had a chance to make it
to as many school sport games as possible and
was proud to see many of my fellow students also
there supporting and cheering on showing the
true Rebel pride that I used to hear so much
about. I now understand what Rebel pride is and
it is apparent that a large majority of the school
feels the same pride as well.
-Brody Jespersen.

AFTER SCHOOL LIFE
Work is a very important part of every day life for most students. Hats off to those of us who choose to devote the httle free time we
have in a day to support the local economy. Here are some of the hard working students from Myers.
Below Left: Darling, your love’s better than money in the bank. Dustin Rombough’s money in the bank, that is. He works at the Credit
Union. Below Right: Paper or Plastic? Erin Davidson can bag circles around anybody. Bottom Left: “That comes to 25.00 covers. This year we managed
to raise $ 5000 from the sale of advertising, and Matthew won eight full
colour pages at the workshop in September. Both of these things
enable us to have a hard cover, colour pages, the year-in-review, and
additional pages to cover the diversity of activities at the school.
As my last year as editor, I wish Matthew and his team the best of
luck for next year! Our class would like to thank Mrs. Klemen for all
her help and assistance through the year.
