Orange Shirt Day is a day recognized across Canada to remember the
trauma Indigenous people faced in the residential school system, and to
promote reconciliation. The orange shirt reminds us that every child
matters and no child is forgotten.

\Ne will not soon forget the incredible
presentation from Eva Olson. Her story of survival
through the horrors of the Holocaust was
spellbinding and inspirational. Mrs. Olsen told her
story to the student body, recounting some of the
horrors of the atrocities carried out under the
fascist rule in Germany, Austria, and Hungary. Her
resilience shone through as she explained the
struggles of being seen as less than human. She
encouraged to consider her story as a message
against the power of bullies in the world around
us and proclamation of truth about everyone's
intrinsic self-worth. A woman well into her 90s, Eva
spoke and showed photos of her experience
which put into perspective the relative comfort
and freedom that we all live with today. To say
that Mrs. Olson's presentation was transformative
would be to underestimate its power in the life of
our student body. Our gratitude is extended to
Eva for this wonderful presentation.

Defensive coach Jason Jensen had to say: On defence, we picked up right where we
left off from last year. We managed three shutouts, and shut down some pretty high
powered offences. Through it all, there were a few new faces that were asked to step
up, and fill some pretty big shoes left by graduating seniors, and they did so admirably.
Really, this unit was definitely one of the best our program has ever had.

Var8i<!6^ We had a very up and down season. When things were going well I think we played as well as
any team In the league, and probably should have finished higher than we did. Although we
had a group of amazing and talented players, we did not necessarily have the right amount of
position players. This, along with numerous injuries, resulted in girls playing out of the position,
that they had been playing for years before, for most of the season. This may have affected
the over all record, but for me it was incredible how these girls took on this challenge. They
never complained once and it amazed me how they rose to this task. No matter where they
were asked to play, they played at an extremely high level. They should all be very proud of
the effort they put in this yearl - Coach Meier

2018 ZONE & PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONS
What a season the Girls put together, we had some very close league games throughout the
season. Those crazy intense games proved to be just what we needed going into zones and
eventually provincials. In the Zone Championship game, we were behind the whole way but
we never felt we were out of it. When the final buzzer rang we found ourselves all tied up and
ready to go into overtime where we dominated and were able to capture the Zone Banner. At
Provincials we put together some of our best games. We traded off a Rebel Classic
Championship to earn our way into the Provincial Championship game. We again found
ourselves behind most of the game but all those close games throughout the season gave us
the composure to keep playing hard, Midway through the 4th quarter we finally got the lead
and we were able to hold that lead until the final buzzer and win the Provincial Banner! —

Congratulations to all students and staff for making the school year 1985-86 such a great
success. The activities and experiences of this past year will provide many fond memories
for all of us.
A special thanks goes to Mr. Murphy and the Journalism class for compiling another
outstanding yearbook in which the events and spirits of this past year have been captured.
W.R. Myers High School is quickly being recognized as a quality educational institution.
This is not due to the excellent resources or facilities which we enjoy but instead to the
people who contribute to the overall atmosphere here. This includes students, teaching
staff, secretaries, custodians, aids and others who work so hard to provide a positive
learning environment. They do this primarily because they care about others. This makes
them, and our school, special.
In future years, as we look back through this yearbook let’s remember and be proud that
we were a part of this great year.
Principal’s Message
During the 1984-85 school year students experienced many changes at W.R. Myers.
There were several teaching changes as well as administration changes. New policies on
course load, truancy, and attendence were implemented. The student body built and
furnished a student lounge. A football program was added to our extra-curricular program.
As the 1985-86 year began, students once again experienced many changes. There were
again new teachers on staff. A full time counselor was added to our staff. The cafeteria was
opened and lunch service was once again offered to W.R. Myers students. A committee was
set up consisting of students and teachers to examine possible timetable changes for the
1986-87 school year.
Everywhere students look or find themselves seems to involve “change”. As we look to
the future to ponder what it holds for us, we must be prepared for the inevitable,
CHANGE! As you look back over these pages of memories, I hope that we have been able
to help prepare you for the continual transition that you will undoubtedly face throughout
your life.
Good Luck!!!

Girls Senior High Volleyball
The 1985 edition of Myers Senior High Girls Volleyball had a very youthful look. The team was
comprised of seven grade tens and four grade elevens. The girls worked extremely hard and showed
great improvement by the end of the year. The future definitely looks promising with so many girls
returning.
Thanks girls for a very enjoyable coaching experience.
Coach Tilleman
VOLLEYBALL 1985-1986
Prior to the start of the Myers 1985 V.B. season. 1 knew exactly
what to expect and there were no surprises. We had lost all but one
starter from our provincial finalist team the previous year. Doran
Jensen was the only returning starter. The only other grade 12 player
was Brian Schneider. This would be Brian’s first year as a starting
setter. It's the toughest job on the team, and Myers had always prided
itself on great setting, so he had some big shoes to fill. Brian worked
hard all year long and emerged as a good setter, especially in view of
the fact that he is only 5’7". Doran was expected to dominate and he
DID have a good year as middle blocker.
The rest were ail grade 10 & 11 players: Grade 11 - Rob Easthope,
Greg Lothian, Scott Nelson, Tyler Anderson, & Kevin Ferguson. Grade
10 - Larry Johnson & Jordan Cleland. These younger players accomplished
2 things over the year: (1) they frustrated their coach
IMMENSELY with their inconsestency. lack of discipline, lack of killer
instinct, and inability to be intense and concentrate (2) they encouraged
me temendously with their potential to win in the future.
As a team we struggled all year long, but we did accomplish some
goals:
- We went undefeated in league against more experienced teams.
- We won 4 tournaments, the minimum for Myers teams.
• We won the league post season tourney for the 10th consecutive time.
To our graduating players Brian and Doran, you have survived 3
years of highschool V.B. from one miserable but appreciative coach.
You suffered through a provincial touney just prior to which we lost
our best setter, and another in which we lost in the 3rd game of the
final. You worked hard to help an inexperienced team along, and
accomplished that. You've grown from the experiences we’ve shared as
a team.
To my returning players, think of this. You have great potential.
When you read this we will already be into the 1986 season. My goal is
one more provincial championship before we run out of players to feed
the program. Make it your goal. We are going to work harder next
year than anv team has worked before to achieve our goal, so BE
READY!
Thanks for a good year. Let’s make next year a great one.

1 The W.R, Myers Girls Basketball Teams have had a successful year. The Varsity team lost four of
ih.." I . :.mci and were expected to be less competitive. However, the girl orked togethei and
managed to alvagc a respectable record rhey ended up tied or second place in the 4A l eague but
unfortunately got bumped to third because of points for and against. This required them to play an
additional game in order to go to zones at the sportsplex. Unfortunately the girls did not play to the
best of their ability and lost this game ending their season. Despite this misfortune the girls had an
impressive year. Next year the team will miss three starters, Ardis Johnson, Tammy Cline, and Shari

This year, Myers Boys’ basketball had to live through the pains of a rebuilding season. The
team played 35 games and won 15 of them. This is not great, however, the team recorded 10 of
those wins in February and won 5 of their last 6 league games. Things look better for the 86-87
season. Two players graduate this year, Doran Jensen and James Evanson, and they will be
missed. However, that means that 8 players return to display their talent again next season. Big
years from Greg Lothian, Scott Nelson, Melvin Johnson, Eric Jensen, Jason Bullock, Tyler
Anderson, and Larry Johnson should provide for excellent entertainment next season for Myers
students and local basketball fans. The 4A league provides great entertainment and highly
competitive action with some of the best basketball schools in the province in our league. We
look forward to the challenge with renewed vigor and expectation.

Principal's Address to the 201 3 Graduates
ohanna Kutanzi
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good Morning, Welcome to the Morning Ceremonies of W.R. Myers
High School for 201 3
There is a certain buzz in the air and it is call grad.
The streets in town a just a little busier, the restaurants are fuller (who
has time to cook?) and you can't book a pedicure anywhere! As a
community, we pause our busy lives and prepare to celebrate our
young men and women, who are almost ready to embark on a new
adventure - adulthood!
Completing high school is one of those things that has likely always
seemed so far away. Remember when you were little and you
couldn't wait for Christmas? It just seemed to take forever until that
very special day to make its very special appearance. And then it
was there - all the talk about Christmas coming was over, all the
waiting and anticipating was done, the celebration was enjoyed by
all and a collection of fond memories was tucked away. It seems like
graduation is the Christmas of the school world - and it is here!
I want to take a few steps forward for a minute and imagine, for you
- our grads - the world, brightly and boldly. We realize that there
is a certain pressure at this point, to do something. Sometimes pressure
is ok - it forces action. At the end of June, you are truly done your
final year. The work of the last 12 years, 13 if you attended
kindergarten, has been to prepare you for this time. Speaking on
behalf of the staff of W.R. Myers, we believe that you are well
prepared to pursue your passions and curiousities. With solid
preparation, comes choice.
Choice is that wonderful opportunity to dream, to plan, to decide, to
make mistakes and maybe do it all again. Choice is freedom. Choice
is powerful and inspiring. Choice makes you feel alive!
Completing your diploma presents you with a sparkling buffet of
choices. Have the courage to decide what it is that you want. Have
the will to bring your plan to life. Practice gratitude and simply delight
in the realization that you are actually doing something that started
only as an idea, as a dream, as a vague image of what could be -
a faint notion of what it is that you would like to do, if you could choice
from a buffet of choices. You are talented people, with kind hearts,
a hungry intellect and a desire to leave your mark on this world. I
wish that you may always be bold and wise in your pursuits.
Principal's HIHHH
Address
Yesterday, I had the great fortune to attend my son's kindergarten
Mother's Day Tea. Wow - what an experience -very cool, very
humbling and lovely. My son is 6 next week and almost done his first
year of school. I imagine that the parents in the audience today akin
to the emotions that the moms felt at the tea yesterday - pride, love,
and wonder - where did the time do?
The Mom sitting beside me (and you may be in the audience, if you
are, hope you don't mind me mentioning your tattoo!) Anyway the
tattoo was two lines and it said, " It is not always easy. It is always
worth it." How true is that? I promise you, it will not always be easy.
You already know that. As a class, as a school, we have been through
times were not easy - not easy at all. There is sunshine after the darkest
storm. There is hope. And it (we, our presence, our being) is always
worth it.
Also, at yesterday's Mother's Day Tea, we were presented with a video
of our kids' year so far in Kindergarten. I thought I was the biggest
sap, but it turns out every mother/parent is a big sap, when it comes
to their kids! At the end of the video, this message lingers on the screen
- They will find their wings! Let me ask you - my school kids; Do you
have your wings? We think you do. This group of 1 000 people, and
many not present here in this space and in this moment, know that you
have your wings and are ready to stretch, to flex, to arch your wings.
May your initial flight just be a short one and within familiar territory,
or one into parts unknown, well beyond what you have tried before.

WRESTLING &
CURLING//
Wrestling // It was a good year for our wrestlers this year.
Liesl Steinborn had a strong season. She went undefeated at a
tournament; placed 4th out of 15 at Rural provincials to qualify for provincials
with the top five wrestlers moving on. She then placed 6th at provincials. A
strong showing for her.
Andrea Harvey was very strong at all tournaments. She made all her
opponents step up and compete as she had a quick start no matter how
experienced her opponent was. She was a rookie who surprised a lot of
wrestlers. She placed second out of 12 wrestlers at Rural Provincials winning
a silver medal. Then went on to place fifth out of 15 at Provincials.
Peter Waeckerlin surprised the provincial wrestling world last year by
winning a bronze medal in provincials. This last season he was strong at all
tournaments. He placed first out of 12 wrestlers at Rural Provincials winning a
gold medal. At Provincials he placed third to win a bronze medal, narrowly
missing out on a chance for a shot at the gold. He was ranked as the #1
wrestler in the province for most of the year in his weight class.
He might have lost a couple matches, but was never beat. He was a
strong wrestler who was very respectful of his opponents and represented
his school very well. Our Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Year award was
given to Peter Waeckerlin.
Curling // There were two curling teams this year. The mixed team
comprised of Keeley Miller, Cole Swarbrick, Karlee Martin and Thane
Buckingham, won against Bow Island at Divisionals and moved on to Zones
in Lethbridge. At Zones they placed third. The girls team, comprised of Sonja
Mellema, Ashleigh Little, Jordyn Clarke and Jessi Young, had a bye at
Divisionals and moved onto a great first appearance at Zones.

Sr. Boys Basketball//

W.R. Myers 2016-2017
A classic Broadway musical. A timeless story of the intergenerational
conflict. This play had been on my short list of possible productions for
years, the problem being, “Who would play Tevye?" The role demanded
that “just right” actor. After working with Diane Llewelyn-Jones on Annie
she approached me with a solution. Do the show the way Myers had done
it in 1975, have a school staff member play Tevye. In 75 Mr. Frank Sudol
rose to the challenge of playing Tevye, in 2017 we were blessed to have
our own very talented staff member Mr. Dale Friesen assume the mantle
of Teyve. It seemed that Fiddler was destined to be produced at Myers at
least one more time. This is not to say the play was not without its
challenges. A significant technical hurdle had to be cleared when we were
not able to recruit a pit band, and there is always the task of turning the
gym into a theater for a 3 day run of the show. Thanks to an amazingly
talented, and energetic production team Myers was able to provide a
venue to show case the talents of sixty-two students. When we did Grease
in 2007 I did not know what to expect, would students participate, would
an audience come? It is as they say, “If you build it they will come.”
Through the years Myers musicals have enjoyed tremendous support from
the school body, and community at large, and I am very grateful for having
the opportunity to play my part as a director, stage manager, lighting &
technical director, and as with Fiddler, producer. I am especially grateful
for my senior production team:

TRAVEL
CLUB
This year the Travel Club used the Easter Holidays to travel
to Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Italy, and The Vatican!
travel club// We were gone a total of 11 days,
and with the help of our tour guide Paolo, we
walked over 83 kilometers! We went shopping
in Prague, took a tour of the city, and tried
some delicious food!
After that, we drove to Munich and went to
Dachau concentration camp for a sobering
reminder of what not to let ever happen again.
Afterwards, we visited the Palace in downtown
After Munich, we travelled on to Austria and the Swiss
Alps. There was a lot of snow and it reminded us of home!
We drove up the mountain to see Neuschwanstein castle. It
was like looking at something out of a story book! After a
long, windy up hill climb on foot we were taken on a tour. It
was breathtaking!
Munich as well as having pretzels and
schnitzel! We watched the Glockenspiel clock
chime and walked around MarienPlatz.
Our group made some lifelong friends with others that
were on our bus-from Calgary, Quebec and
Massachusetts! It truly was a trip of a lifetime!
A tour of the city helped us understand where
the Nazi regime started from and how the city
dealt with Hitler during The Second World War.

W.R. Myers rugby SV program was once again another successful season. We hosted our own
inaugural SV pre-season tournament, bringing teams from Alberta and a Touring Side from

RUGBY "
The JV season was successful once again. This rugby program that aims to develop
fundamental rugby skills and to learn the complicated game of rugby was well received by the
girls. The team's record was as even as it gets - winning exactly half of the games in both
tournaments as well as league play. The team was young this year, but that was not at all
shown in their courage, work ethic, and willingness to succeed. Well done on the season ladies!

Our track and field team was small but very competitive.
Unfortunately the weather was not very cooperative for our
divisional and zone meets. Our athletes put in their best effort
and were very successful. Cody Stange was the aggregate
champion for Grade 9 Males and placed 4th in the 100 and
200m races at Zones. Dylan Johnson defended his zone title
in the 3000m race which qualified him for provincials in
Edmonton.

Meet our new Access Services team
members, Marnie Rogstad and
Mechelle McCalla
Visitors to the University Library this past semester may have seen two new friendly faces at the General Services Desk (GSD). Marnie
Rogstad and Mechelle McCalla recently joined the Access Services team and have been spending a large portion of their time helping
faculty and students by answering reference questions, providing circulation services and supervising student assistants. In addition to
these main responsibilities, they both support several other key library functions. Read on to learn more about Marnie and Mechelle.
What is your library background? Where were you working prior to coming to the University of Lethbridge?
MR: I have a Master of Information Studies degree with a specialization in Library Science from the University of Toronto and my
library experience includes employment at the CBC in Toronto and Vancouver, Lethbridge College, Lethbridge Public Library, and,
most recently, Lethbridge School Division.
MM: Before coming to the University of Lethbridge, I worked for a year with the University of Athabasca as the primary onsite staff
member in the Library. I was in charge of all onsite duties, helping at the service desk and providing technical services.

What is your role at the
University Library?
MR: As a member of Access
Services, I spend most of my
time providing reference and
circulation support at the General
Services Desk. I also have
responsibilities with interlibrary
loans, course reserves, student
assistants, and community
engagement.
MM: My role here at the
university is Library Operations
Specialist III. I spend most of
my time helping on the General
Services Desk, supporting
students, faculty members and
community members with their
questions, solving any issues
that may arise and providing
reference services. My other time
is split between helping with
copyright permission, answering
copyright-related queries, and
providing technical services.
How does your work with Access Services support faculty members at the University of Lethbridge?
MR: I like to think the work I do helps faculty by providing them with the information and resources they require to do their jobs
effectively. That might mean fulfilling an interlibrary loan for their own research needs, getting items on course reserve for their
students, making sure their account is up to date so they can access our services, or answering any question they may have. I try to
provide the best service I can to any of our patrons and if I can’t help them myself, I will try to find someone who can.
MM: I believe my work at the Library is the same for faculty members and students; we are here to provide guidance, resources
and information needs for our community’s academic staff, students, and administrators in their pursuit of academic and research
excellence. One of my favourite sayings is that Library staff don’t know everything, but they have tools to find out about everything.
What have you enjoyed about working at the Library so far?
MR: The people. I have really enjoyed getting to know my co-workers as well as the students, faculty, staff, and community members
who use (and appreciate!) the Library and its services on a regular basis.
MM: I enjoy helping the University community with their questions, solving issues, providing reference service, and teaching them the
tools and tips to find relevant information.
Is there anything else you’d like people to know about you?
MR: As a fan of the Toronto Raptors, I look forward to them winning another championship someday!
MM: I have moved a few times, and I’m new to the Lethbridge area and look forward to exploring the city and what it has to offer, along
with the beautiful walking trails.

The University of Lethbridge Library is pleased to announce
the availability of thousands of pages of historical newspaper
content originating from the Southern Alberta communities of
Taber, Coaldale and Nanton. In total, more than 7,000 issues
of the Taber Free Press (1907-1910), Taber Times (1911-1971),
Coaldale Flyer (1958-1959), Sunny South News (1959-1974) and
Nanton News (1903-1971) are now freely accessible online to the
public via the Library’s Southern Alberta Newspapers collection.
It is anticipated that these materials will be of special interest to
historians, genealogists and others fascinated by local history.
This project was initiated by Rhys Stevens and Jake Cameron of
the Library’s Digitization Team in November 2021 and involved
working extensively with Backstage Library Works to digitize
nearly 50,000 individual pages of newsprint from microfilm.
Microfilm reels were sourced from both the Legislature Library in
Edmonton and within the Library’s own collections, and sent to
Backstage for scanning and image processing. Processed images
were then uploaded to the Library’s own CONTENTdm digital
library software where they are now searchable and viewable
online.
Special thanks to the University Library for funding the project
and both the Alberta Legislature Library and the Alberta
Newspaper Group for providing materials and permissions in
support of the project.

What happens to your data when you finish a project?
Source: Ayers, Scott, Stevens. (2019). Report on the University of Lethbridge Research Data Management Survey, October 2018. https://hdl.handle.net/10133/5582
In the Library’s 2018 survey on research data management practices at the University, roughly half of the respondents indicated that
they had no set retention date for their data! They opted to keep all forms of data, raw or processed, until they became inaccessible or
lost.
Preservation of digital information is widely considered to require more constant and ongoing attention than preservation of other
media. Depositing data resources with a trusted digital archive can ensure that they are curated and handled according to good
practices in digital preservation. Where can you find more information about trusted repositories? The Library’s best practices guide is a
great place to start.
Another important step for research data management is creating a data management plan at the beginning of your research. This can
help address some of the questions around retention early on in your process. It also allows your team to explore what options are
available to preserve the data for long-term access. Access can be an important consideration, depending on the requirements of your
funding agency or your publisher.
To help you create a data management plan, try the DMP Assistant, an excellent free resource. It can help you or your team
address questions regarding data collection, documentation and metadata, storage and backup, preservation, sharing and reuse,
responsibilities, and ethics and legal compliance. Remember, a DMP is a living document – meaning you can revisit it and make
alterations as things change.

Principal's Message
Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp.
Or what’s heaven for?
- Robert Browning
Most of us when confronted with the question of what the major purpose in life is
would have a somewhat hazy notion such as ’pursuit of happiness’, or ’do good for others.’
But the most thoughtful of the world's great philosophers are generally agreed that the
ultimate purpose of life is to achieve perfection, and indeed this is the central tenet of the
Christian belief. Too often we lose sight of this goal of life and are overwhelmed by petty
problems and pursue short range goals. We are overly concerned with sensual pleasures and
attempt to satify and gratify every whim of our animal nature. We forget that as men we
are possessed of a rational mind and have implanted within us this urge to perfection.
It is true that while on this earth we can never achieve perfection. But this is not
reason to cease striving for this shining goal. And how do we go about trying to reach
an impossible goal like perfection?
A. D. Selinger
Principal
Taber High School
Discipline. And not necessarily that
discipline which is imposed from withoutourselves.
That type of discipline is necessary and teaches us
how to discipline ourselves, and is, furthermore
absolutely essential to control the behavior of
those who can't or won't impose restrictions on
themselves.
The true measure of a man is to be found
in his ability to discipline himself. He must be
ready and able to control his thoughts, actions,
and emotions at all times and in all situations.
When he fails to do so he has succumbed to his
animal nature and is just a little less a man.
Let us examine a brief example. A student
is subject to many temptations. He wants to stand
on a corner and watch the girls go by, or shoot a
game of pool, or own and operate his own
automobile, or get a job and earn his own money so he will not be dependent on his
parents and can therefore be free of the restrictions imposed on him0 The urge to study and
improve his intellect and moral fibre is all too often weak, and yet it is by his
determination to do so that a student will benefit himself and grow into adult manhood.
How well a student is able to resist temptation to work toward short range objectives and
instead apply himself to the pursuit of perfection will determine not only his own future
and its fulfillment, but also affect the course of the lives of people with whom he comes in
contact.
As Browning states in the quotation above, set your sights high. Success - the real
success which is the fulfillment of man's purpose in life - is yours if you have the
determination and will to achieve.

First, I would like to express my heartful thanks to
those who aided me to become president of the Student's
Union. The preciousness of this experience can never be
evaluated.
It is hoped that the future executives will profit from
the accomplishments of this year's executive.
May I extend sincere congratulations to the Graduating
Class. Good fortune go with you. Assume your responsibilities
as conscientious citizens of Canada.
"Conjunctum Possumus": "Together We Can". Let
our motto remain with all not to remind us of the joyous times
at T. H.S., but to show us the way to become better members
of the community and, above all, better citizens of Canada.

Here we are at the end of another school year.
It is the last year for many of us, but for others it is just the
continuency of an important phase of life. This phase is one in which,
to a great extent, much of your future is being shaped. To those who
are just beginning their High School career I would like to give you a
word of advice: work diligently with your studies at all times and
work also at improving your own personality. Above all, keep on
adding to your store of knowledge from all the opportunities that are
available from your teachers and your school curriculum.
To the Graduates, who are now leaving their old
Alma Mater, I wish to say that I hope you do feel some regrets at
your departure. But I also hope that you are able to look ahead to
your future with eagerness and hope at the new life to come.
This is my last year at T.H.S. , and because of this
I would like to make a plea for my school. I hope that the new
students coming up will do much to give Taber High School a better
school spirit. For it is with things such as this that we are able to help
build a better community and later a greater nation.
In closing, I wish to express my sincere thanks to all
those people who devoted their time in preparing this 1959 edition of
the DAWN for publication.

Class History
Graduation Day, 1959 .' Yes, it's here. Ever since I knew
what school was, I have been looking forward to this day as have most of the
graduates, but now that it is here, it hardly seems possible. The years spent
preparing us for this seem to have flown by incredibly fast. However,
memories creep in of things which have gone before.
Lucille McKay
How clearly that first day of school at Central in 1947
complete with its terror, excitement and wonder can be recalled. Then came
a series of years which were filled with learning and old and new friends.
Who can ever forget our festival and track meet activities with all their fun?
Vivid memories of our teachers in the elementary grades can be recalled,
together with our various moves from the Central School to the little schools
back of it.
With our entrance into Junior High School we not only met
new subjects but new experiences also. In these grades we were given our
first taste of student government and our potential leaders began to come
forth and show their colors. Our final year in junior high Grade IX, marked
with another significant event - our entrance into Taber High School. Not
many will be able to forget initiation with all its sore knees, lipstick
smudges, outlandish costumes and the other necessary evils associated with the
occasion. Departmentals loomed oppressively that year and seemed to present
an almost insurmountable barrier. But this also proved conquerable and we
entered a new era of our schooling, for we are now in High School.
In Grade X our numbers were augmented by the arrival of
Barnwell and Cranford students. This advent led to the making of many new
friendships.
The talents displayed by members of the class of '59 have
been varied. We are able to boast three members of the student executive
this year. Some people have received considerable recognition in the fields
of music, art, drama, scholastic pursuits, and athletics as well as leadership
in the school.
The "might-have-been" which tempers our joy and pride in
the class of '59 is the memory of classmates who have dropped out along the
way to seek employment or have become early casualties of Cupid's Arrow.
But the rest of us - our years of public school efforts almost
complete - pause to remember and can think only of many happy days spent
together. A maze of memories crops up along with a sense of achievement
and a hope that we will prove ourselves to be worthy of T.H.S. as we
venture forth into a new life.
Soon we must physically bid farewell to the school and to
many of our friends, but it is only a physical farewell. We will never be
able to bid adieu to our fond T.H.S. memories. -------

THE WRECKERS
I watched them tearing a building down,
A gang of men in a busy town;
With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty yell,
They swung a beam and a side wall fell .
I asked the foreman, "Are these men skilled,
The men you would hire if you had to build?"
He gave me a laugh and said, "No, indeed .'
Just common labor is all I need.
I can easily wreck in a day or two,
What builders have taken a year to do. "
I thought to myself as I went my way,
Which of these roles have I tried to play?
Am I a builder who works with care,
Measuring life by the rule and square?
Am I shaping my deeds to a well-made plan,
Patiently doing the best I can?
Or am I a wrecker, who walks the town
Content with the labor of tearing down?

Graduation Speaker
At this time I
banquet. It was an
why I enjoyed it so
would like to express my thanks for the invitation to the
excellent dinner and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The reason
much might be made evident from this story:
A certain man was asked to deliver a speech to his club. The night of
his speech his wife asked him to sit down and eat some of the delicious
dinner which she had prepared. But he refused to eat because he felt he
wouldn't be able to give his talk very well on a full stomach, so his wife's
efforts were wasted. He went to deliver his speech. On his return home, his
wife asked him, "Was it a good speech?" He replied, "I should have ate."
MR. NEIL PURVIS
However, I always enjoy an opportunity to speak, especially since it
is the last opportunity for me here.
Tonight, my talk will deal with three main ideas - your self as an
individual, as a community man, and as a world citizen.
Yourself: Are you ready to assume responsibilities? Do you have
trouble remembering? Do you have days when nothing goes right? Do you do
things which you know aren't right? Do you have pet fears, such as snakes?
Do you make the same mistakes more than once? Do you decide to dislike
people a^first sight? If your answer to all or most of these questions is yes,
then you are normal.
This is because the human body is very complicated. Nothing man has
produced is as complicated as man himself, and no two men are alike. We
all live under different environments and difficulties. An European child
raised at the time of the Second World War certainly had different problems
than an American child. If this is so, then it is no wonder that we react
differently.
Elizabeth Ferguson VanHeath in 'So Speak' stated, "Sixteen years ago
my small son paid for the ignorance of some man. My reaction produced
terrible results on my physical health, because of destructive thought. I
thought only of my loss, which is destructive thought material. The only
reason I survived was because of my ancestral blood. Thank God for good
ancestral pioneers. Their gift was - "hang on and refuse to be defeated."
It saved her. Therefore, our thoughts are tremendously important, so you
should develop the ability to think right.
Some suggestions to help you are: Cultivate the ability to listen to
people and hear them. This is in itself a worthwhile effort. Carry your
weight. Share the manual labor. Take your share of conversation. Take extra
time to think of good ideas for improvement. Make timeliness one of your
virtues. Don't lose your sense of humour. Laugh with people, not at them.
In preparation for the world of work, do you know what your abilities
are? Have you thought about it? If so then your success is better than half
assured, because you're interested, able and prepared. Then become
proficient, There is no room nowadays for a man with no training. Be able to
do things well and better and know why.
You are not only graduating from Taber High School, You are now world
citizens. Independence - we don't understand this presently. Everything that
happens to us affects us and therefore we really aren't independent. It is too
late to try and ignore this and feel ourselves superior. That era is past.
You can make your own heaven or your own hell with the same blocks.

Valedictory
Ruth Kadonaga
Graduation 1 It's an event to which we have looked forward
since we first heard about it. At that time it seemed ages away, but now we
are wondering how the time passed by so quickly. Some of us may even
wonder if we are ready for it, but, at. any rate, it makes us stop and reflect
To many of us, graduation means the end — the end of a way of life which
has been our life for the past twelve or thirteen years. To others, it means a
beginning — a beginning of a new life in which we become true citizens of
our community.
Graduation is son end and it is a beginning. It means an end
to a period of formal education which has lasted a dozen years. It is with
sadness that we close this chapter of our lives, for it is always difficult to
leave something which has meant so much to us. When we bid farewell to our
school and to each other, we remember with gratitude, our teachers, those
wonderful, hard working people whc expended so much time and energy for
our welfare----those unselfish human beings who will always be ready to
lend a hand and to help us, and tall we need do is ask. There are two other
people to whom we owe so much. Our parents, who have guided us through
these years of our development with love and encouragement, deserve our
heartfelt thanks. Without them, think where we would be today. Certainly
not here.
Of course, we owe a great deal to our teachers and parents,
but we too deserve a little credit for having reached our present day lofty
status. But rather than dwell on our merits and past achievements, we should
consider our future responsibi I ities and obligations. We have, of course, the
responsibility to ourselves, but more than that, we have a responsibility to
our community. As citizens of our community, we must, each one of us, take
our share of the load and do our best >at all times in order to make our
community an even better place in which to live.
We will meet many problems which will seem insurmountable,
but if during these last years, we have done a good and thorough job of
preparing ourselves for the future, we will find great pleasure in feeing able
to solve these problems. We have been afforded the best of opportunities
by our school, our teachers, and our parents to develop in ourselves those
qualities which will always stand us in good stead and we offer them our
humble and grateful thanks and hope we will never give them reason to be
disappointed with us.
In closing, I'd like to leave you graduates with this wish
may bad fortune follow you all your days and never catch up with you.”

exams were over, I went home and decided to catch up on twelve years lost
Hidn'^wake up until the year 2000 A.D., and, after having something to eat,
I'decided to find out what happened to the '59 graduating class. What I found was amazing.
|n 1981 Professors Ruth Kadonaga and Alice Kurina crossed a plum tree with a cactus
to get a bush that would grow dried prunes.
Eddie Uyesugi joined the N. H. L. in 1964 and became head of the department in
charge of taping hockey sticks.
Lloyse Henderson received a Doctor of Medicine degree but got into trouble with the
United States government when she grew hair on the bald eagle.
Lynda Turcato and Alvina Hein opened an experimental farm in 1985. They played
Louis Armstrong jazz in the chicken coops and got scrambled eggs.
Jarmila Sajfrt was a member of the Canadian 1968 Olympics team. She jumped a
record of 10' 4" in the high jump but was disqualified for using a pole.
Margaret Racz and Beth McKibben produced a camera that had no need for lens films,
or even light. Needless to say it didn't work.
In 1965 the R. C.A.F. sent Walter Reid to the moon. Walter was extremely
disappointed to find only a big card with the words: "Genuine Swiss Cheese".
In 1966 Gordon Platt entered a round-the-world marathon. Unfortunately, he had to
drop out of the race at Halifax when he realized he couldn't swim.
Bill Tajcnar joined the Calgary Stampeders and was voted Most Valuable Player. It
seemed that whenever he passed the ball and was "nailed" he would deflate it, and while
everybody was looking for the ball he would walk calmly down the field and make a
touchdown.
Bob Bourke became justly famous in theworld of art when he painted the first realistic
picture of a mermaid dressing her hair. He filled her mouth with hairpins.
In 1993, Tom Denis moved to Prince Edward Island where he soon established a ranch
t at was as large as the entire province of Quebec.
b VQn ^'C^SOn became world famous when he originated the Curler's Delight, a
etween game snack consisting of roasted straws from the finest brooms wrapped around forty
pounds of hamburger.

We started to learn
The day we were born,
From dusk of night 'til
Dawn of morn.
Although we encountered
Restraining walls,
We kept on going
In spite of the falls.
We know more now
Than so few years ago,
But for all our knowledge
Do we have something to show?
The answer is, yes,
We certainly do,
And if given the chance
We will show it to you.
We have learned to learn.
This itself is a feat.
We could long years ago
Have made a hasty retreat.
But we keep on going.
On a ladder we climb,
And we just won’t stop
Til tine end of time.

Mr. George is very deserving of the honor of having this yearbook dedicated to him. He is a person
who exemplifies the work-success ethic. Having come to W. R. Myers as social studies department
head in 1964, Mr. George, through his diligence and untiring efforts progressed through six
years as principal of our school to become Superintendent of Schools for the Taber School
Division.
Both the students and teachers of our school have benefitted greatly from their association with
Mr. George. His keen interest for the welfare of each student manifested itself in the formation of a
modified program for junior high students and a work experience program for high school
students. Also through his leadership the band program became a reality and today involves over
one hundred students.
Indeed, the dedication of this yearbook could not have gone to a more deserving person.

Once again, thanks to the students and teachers
for their co-operation, assistance and support over the
past school year. And special thanks to the Yearbook
Committee and Mr. Wallace for their very commendable
efforts in producing this publication.
In lieu of the usual message, I shall substitute the
address which I gave at the Graduation:
"Grads, congratulations to you, your parents and
your teachers. We are honoring a group of young ladies
and gentlemen who have managed to survive 12 or so
years of schooling, and are potentially in an academic
position to receive a diploma as evidence of their hard
work, persistence and endurance.
We regret that several of our Grads are not participating
in the ceremonies tonight, and other students,
who also began school 12 years ago, did not survive to
this point, and consequently are not numbered among
the Grads.
By your presence here tonight you Grads are symbolizing
one more step in the initiation into our mixed
up Adult Society. We, in this mixed up Adult Society
have certain characteristics in common - characteristics
which are likely to become more severe. MUL ©^ 3O1©&» I shall generalize to make the point, but of course
there are exceptions:
a) We are overfed, but undernourished. Our pets get the best. We value snap, crunch and crackle much more than we
do the elements required for good health.
b) We are over-exposed, but underdeveloped. We gain a coating of sophistication early in life, but the qualities of integrity,
compassion and service to others are frequently only a thin veneer.
c) We are over-learned, but undereducated. We know so much about things, but have grave difficulties coping
with our personal problems, and getting along with other people, especially with those who are different - which somehow
excludes ourselves.
d) We are super-industrial, but mini-human. We can produce almost anything we want in the name of Technology,
although periodically we are forced to take drastic action and recall our products from the market.
We walk with confidence on the moon, but we move in fear on the earth. We build our asphalt ribbons and our concrete
jungles, but care little for the human derelicts who live in the shadows. We waste and pollute our resources - the
name of the game is "consume".
e) We overspend and underwork. "Buy Now", and pay later — much later and much more.
A 3 hours of work becomes five: a 5 minute call is an hour's pay; a minor repair is a major overhaul; one man's job
is spread to four; the assembly line is slowed some more.
f) We are overwhelmed by change and choice:
Shall we buy the giant economy size that is 2/3 full, but has gimmicks in it, or the one "on sale", at 20 higher than
the usual price? A maxi or a mini, or something in between? Mint flavor, or Sparkle Bright? Follow the crowd -
drugs and drink, or stand firm, and be lonely? Train and Re-Train - or become obsolete? Assistance from Uncle
Pierre? Why not - He's got lots of money! 24% more mileage - more than what?
Become a space surgeon? Work on the oil rigs? Go to SAIT, NAIT, Jr. College, U of A, U ofC, U of L,
Concordia, BYU, Bus. College? Mission!
Stay in School! But I need the money. Gas and repairs to impress my honey.
Watergate and Mentholate - both seem to be cancerous.
Five million dollars for a hockey player - five dollars for the Crippled Children, and Five Cents for the Lord. Amen.
Grads, you can be the Fortunate Members of this mixed-up Society for with youthful idealism, vigor and enthusiasm;
critical awareness and genuine concern, you can, with God's help, make things much better."

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, guests and doomed graduates. We are going to try a rather witty introduction, so prepare yourselves. We do not claim to be good, or for that matter, bad either. We are just your MEDIUM ..... into the future. Moving right along, we will start with our Student
Body President’s future.
In the news headlines, the Prime Minister, LES HIGA has just sent the Minister of Finance, JOHN LOREE abroad. JOHN’S reply “Thanks LES.” ROGER MUELLER and JOAN GILLESPIE went on to be choice Hollywood material as everyone knows, Brains or Bust one is a must. JANELL JENSEN made a career of telling jokes at a nightclub- no matter how bad they are the people laugh- they are afraid that if they don’t she might say them over.
VERNA CHRISTENSEN was forced out of politics because it was too expensive - she was constantly buying new hats to throw into the ring.
KIM DOUGAN and BRENDA JONES are both enjoying married life; as they know the best way to keep their men is in doubt.
CRAIG JENSEN is doing great in the football league. In one single game he played four positions. Center, Forward, Guard, and Tackle. He sat in the Center of the bench, leaned Forward, Guarded the water bucket and Tackled anyone who came near it.
ROD MARUYAMA was heard asking the sharp tongued actress ADAIR ANDERSON, “Why do you suppose it is that women so utterly lack a sense of Humor?” ADAIR’S response was “God did it on purpose so that we may love you men instead of laughing at you!”
JACK OUDMAN reports that 75% of the accidents in cars are caused by drivers hugging too close to curves. BERNADETTE CRADDOCK will testify to that.
KAREN HAYNES was working in the shoe section of Woolco until she began to lose her hearing and then they transferred her to the complaint department.
RICHARD LAING was severely injured while competing in the World’s Pie Eating Contest. RICHARD was down to the finals when the darn cow kicked him in the face.
HELEN EDWARDS refused to be turned down by the manager of an overstaffed firm. She exclaimed that the little bit of work that she did do wouldn’t be noticed.
DEBRA KOZNICK was doing well in her chemistry class until the professor asked her about nitrates - the only thing she could think of was that they are a lot cheaper than day rates.
GARY KAGA, while downtown, saw a girl who was wearing a mini-skirt so short that it embarrassed him ... for three blocks.
For some reason, unkown to men, SANDRA FRANCIS went on a crash diet! She now weighs 40 pounds .... including the casket.
SHEILA BOYLE and LORI EASTHOPE will always be remembered for being such dilligent drivers, they went through three red lights in one hour, two of them on the back of a half-ton truck.
RAY MATSUDA was in great need of relief and was forced to rudely butt into a conversation and ask directions to the restroom. One of the men pointed to a door down the hall and said, “There, the one with Gentlemen marked on it - but do not let that stop you.”
We can hear it now, WENDY PRICE begging her hubby to let her drive the car. “Be an angel and let me drive.” He did and he is.
The other day LeRON LITCHFIELD was boasting of how he is a self-made man. At least that relieves the Almighty of a great responsibility.
The word around has it that SANDRA DOGTEROM phoned the police to tell them that someone had stolen from her car, the steering wheel, brake pedal, clutch pedal and the dashboard. While the police were investigating the situation it dawned on SANDRA that she had gotten into the backseat.
When told that if you drink too much you’ll hate yourself in the morning, JEANNIE FERGUSON, said she would simply sleep until the afternoon.
The only reason RON LEBLANC works as a baker is because he kneads the dough.
Myers mad biologist CATHY POULLOS, crossed a flea with a rabbit - only to come up with the well known Bug’s Bunny.
Being constantly hounded by back seat drivers TOM ODDIE got the ideal job - he now drives a hearse.
DAVID GEORGE and LORIE VALGARDSON are having a great life together, although they still don’t understand that curbing their emotions doesn’t mean parking by the roadside.
LAURA ANDERSON went on to become the President of the Weight Watchers Club with her motto: “If at first you don’t recede diet, diet again.”
In furthering her education CHARLANE HANZEL could become a walking encyclopedia - but then she knows as everyone else does - reference books are never taken out.
When STEVE EVANSON applied for a job, the employer said he could sweep up the shop every night. He exclaimed that he was a graduate of the W.R. Myers School and was immediately given a simpler task.
RICHARD PLATT was in doubt whether to be a barber or a novelist - it was a big decision-heads or tales.
DAVID KURIO found his niche in life when he answered the following ad; WANTED; Man to manage accounting department - in charge of 20 girls - must like figures!
Well known for raising a stink MIKE PUTICI furthered this characteristic as he now owns a skunk farm.
KENDON BENNETT went in for track and field until he developed athletes foot, so he became an astronaut instead and is now enjoying the , misery of Missle Toe.
Having the desire to work with thousands of men under him, RUDI TSCHRITTER became the grass cutter for the cemetery.
DEBRA MARSHALL decided to put her ability of making faces to work for her - she is now employed at the clock factory.
After years of obstinence STEPHANIE HOLLAND finally changed her mind - thank goodness - we hope the new one works better.
ARLENE CONRAD was making her living crushing grapes with her feet - she was fired for sitting down on the job.
After being reprimanded for the three hundredth time for creating a disturbance JOHN WEIPPERT was told by the cop it was due to alcohol, alcohol and more alcohol. JOHN was glad to hear that because everyone else had said it was his own fault.
CLINTON VALGARDSON returned home from playing with the Calgary Stampeders. He was their Number 1 Drawback.
VICKI KRIZAN, after many years of study in the chiropractic field, has been recognized as a famous lady chiropractic. It’s a shame she had to earn the dubious title of Vicki the Masher.
LYNN EDWARDS furthered his career in chemistry - he now has the acids eating right out his hands, and clothes and books and (fade off).
ROBIN LEIGH finally made good his high school promise to make One-Hundred and Fifty thousand dollars per year. Unfortunately the RC.M.P. took a rather dim view of it when they found a printing press in his basement.
ARDITH CRAWFORD carried on her life of wreckless driving - it’s so bad now that when the road turns the same way as she does it’s a coincidence.
IAN COLE can no longer get his feet into his shoes. What? His feet have swollen too?
ROBERT LORD opened up a chili parlor and a gas station. The sign outside read: “Try our beans while you get gas. Eat at Lord’s and get gas.”
Over the last 10 years KRIS ACKERMAN has had the telephone company worried. KRIS has an excellent substitute for the telephone. She just opens the window and shouts across town.
SHEILA VALGARDSON always wanted to take a leading part in a theatre. Her dream finally came true when she got a job as a usher at the Paramount.
DAVID WILLIAMS went into the Hotel business. At his Hotel a guest gives up good dollars for poor quarters.Inventor ROBERT SHAW has just invented the new horn which complies with government noise pollution restrictions. Robert’s new horn is so quiet it doesn’t give a hoot.
Upon conviction, JACKIE MIYASHIRO was sent to prison for the rest of her life. However, she just can't understand how one can call breaking rocks with a hammer a rest.
Hair barber CAROL WEST finally had to quit the business. She got too ambitious. She started to illustrate her funny stories with cuts.
DIANE GARDNER is now the Janitor in the Bank of Montreal. She is the only person who can clean-up and get away with it.
ALLEN POMMEN sought his fortune in the Civil service. He works in the Canadian mint where he makes money first and it’s up to the rest of us to make it last.
JIM BECKMAN became a grocer and was accused of selling sausage which was half meat by housewife BONNIE SMITH. He replied, “Well the way things are nowadays you can’t make both ends meat!”
Rumor has it that DON GRIESER didn’t use his deodorant yesterday, didn’t use it again today and won’t use it tomorrow. Why? He has no friends left to impress.
After disembarking from a troop ship with 4,000 men and 1,000 women aboard, Brigadier General JAMES GILLESPIE was heard to quote the following famous words: “Never before have so many, chased so few, for so little.”
WENDY GARDNER and LYNDA McCARTEE are both like ships - if they are painted frequently they become see-worthy.
PAT ODLAND has just joined women’s lib. Bra burning ceremonies will be held June 8th and 9th.
DARLENE GRAHAME has the secret desire to write - cheques.
BRIAN CHRISTENSEN flaunting his superior intelligence was told to put out the cat — his reply was that he didn’t know that it was on fire.
The driving team of JIM BETTCHER and DARYL JENSEN were charged with assault when they stripped their gears.
SUSAN MCKAY and ANGELINE BEKKERING have reached success as Editor and Assistand Editor respectively at the Lethbridge Herald. Angeline was caught praying for a raise. Susan found out and summoned Angeline in a fit of rage. Susan exclaimed, “I will not stand for anyone going over my head!” Angeline replied calmly, “I already am!” Angeline’s wish came true and better yet she has become the new editor. Susan will soon be seen delivering your papers.
HELEN YEE, the great dog lover, bought a dog with no legs. Everyday she takes it out for a drag.
RICHARD CSEKE, went to Amsterdam to have his sex changed. He or rather she returned to Canada, entered show business and recorded the immediate smash hit song, “I’ve Lived and Loved from Both Sides Now.”
DEB HEDLEY was fired from her position of cook when they found her putting a cake in the freezer to “Frost” it.
RICHARD FIEDLER’S career as Game Warden was ended when a mother’s voice over the telephone asked him for some suggestions for her child’s birthday party.
WAYNE NALDER, our inventor of vast renown has just come up with the ultimate invention. He cut 500 bras in half and came up with a 1000 beanies with chin straps.
SHAUN BOYLES’ vocational aptitude test indicated that the best opportunity for him lay in a field where his father held an influential position.
ANNA WALL has just become a recent owner of a Volkswagen more commonly known as a bug. She almost collapsed when the Town of Taber announced its annual Bug extermination campaign only one week after she had bought the car.
KEN ZELENKA’S hockey career came to a crescendo as all of Taber watched during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Ken skated across the ice to sit out a bench penalty.
ANNE BROADFOOT has always used the reward system with her pet dog. But everytime the dog would perform she would eat the dog biscuit. The dog has since taken the hint and is now in the process of teaching Anne some new tricks.
WANDA McCULLOCH, most renowned athlete in the land has finally reached her goal in life. Now past her prime, she has been selected to the Sportsmans Hall of Fame. She doesn’t know it yet but her exhibit has been placed adjoining that of Howard Cosell’s.
JOHN LEMISKO typical country pumpkin was promptly booted in the seat of his overalls when he walked into a city antique store and greeted the manager with “Howdy. What’s new!”
MARK WORKMAN went on to be a terrific caterer! Written on the side of his van was: “Are you getting Married or having an Affair?”
When BLAIR KAGA applied for a job he was asked if he was responsible. Blair answered saying yes. At the last job he had, whenever .anything went wrong they told him he was responsible.
SHERYL PAULS was majoring in history and doing fine until someone asked her opinion of Red China. She answered that it looks well with a white tablecloth.
Trying to overcome his shyness DWIGHT WALL took a book from the library titled “How to Hug” - only to find when he got home that it was Vol. 7 of an encyclopedia.
CELIA CARLSEN and GALE HOSTINE both ended up in separate garment manufacturing businesses. They were agruing one day and Gale cracked that Celia was so crooked that the wool she was pulling over her eyes was 50% cotton.
EDDIE CICHY met PAT VALGARDSON after all these years and invited her to dinner. After Pat had ordered the most expensive items on the menu the waiter asked Eddie what he wished. He replied, “That he hadn’t met Pat!”
ROBERT TOMIYAMA went on to make it big in Broadway. He has become so conceited that anytime it thunders he dashes to the window to take a bow.
Well, that’s about all for tonight folks. We know you are all dying to hear more, but for lack of production in 1955 we have no more students to prophesize.
Thank-you for being so patient with us and we hope your evening improves!

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Mr. D. V. Kilback
Each school year brings new challenges to students and
staff, requiring fresh approaches to old problems, and a
revised perspective on essential goals.
We have struggled this year with development of course
objectives and evaluation plans, with more weighty final
exams, and a different budgetting system. The School Board
is holding regular meetings in the various schools, thus
enabling members to become more familiar with daily operations.
The cafeteria committee, under sponsorship of the senior
students council, is continuing to provide an effective and
satisfying service to the students and staff. We are anticipating
a substantial upgrading of the cafeteria facilities to further
improve this function.
Our extra-curricular scene has been very exciting and
impressive this year, with outstanding accomplishment in
sports, the fine arts and other activities. We appreciate all
the students, teachers and other persons who have assisted
with coaching and supervising various events during the year.
Our instructional program, with its breadth of academic and
vocational-type courses, need periodic assessment in terms of
value to students and congruence with school and community
objectives.
Again, thanks to our Yearbook Committee and their advisor,
Mr. Hart, for another quality production.

TRAVELLING
At Myers travelling is a big part of student life,
whether it’s getting to school, cruising the
strip, or heading away to a big game. Our
yearbook is a road map for 1990 of the things
we accomplished and the good times we’ve
had.
Rich Nagai and Scott Urano (top left) travel
in style as they head out on foot. Kim
Jespersen, Norma Powell, Rhonda Renner,
and Tammy Rombough seem to be saying
“bottoms up”, and Brad McCarty is exiled.
Hopefully, Myers students will continue to find
good times and succeed as they follow the
roads life leads them down.

On Good Friday, April 13,1990,15
of us left on our journey to the
U.S.S.R. While we were gone for
10 days we visited Leningrad,
Moscow and Helsinski, Finland.
We spent 4 days in Leningrad
where we saw the Peter-Paul
Cathedral, the Winter Palace and
the Hermitage Museum. We even
saw a Russian Circus. From there
we took a 9-hour train ride across
to Moscow, home of the world’s
largest McDonald’s. It only took us
a half hour to wait to get in and the
line up was only a few blocks long.
While in Moscow for 3 very full
days, we visited Red Square, the
Kremlin and many cathedrals. We
also went to the New - Maidens
Nunnery and the Bolshoi Ballet.
Many times we had to take the
Metro (subway) back to our hotel,
and it’s true what they say about it.
It is the cleanest and the most
beautiful subway around, made
with marble archways and tiled
walls and floors. Our last night was
spent in Helsinski, Finland. We
were only there for a short time but
it’s where we had our best meal.
We went to Pizza Hut. - Kyla Wyatt
What I liked most about the trip was
the people we met. I met people
from Britain, Switzerland, Ireland,
Sweden, Germany, U.S.S.R. and
all over the U.S. We toured with a
group of students from Delaware.
They were a lot of fun!! - Aimee

“Fun Day”, September 15, has become a tradition that is enjoyed
by all students at Myers High School. Each and every student
proceeds to the Taber Provincial Park where a free lunch
is served by the members of Student Council. As the Grade 10
and 11 students enjoy the sun and fresh air, the seniors take part
in a group picture. Following the lunch, all students are divided
into their respective grades to compete in various activities (van
cram, water brigade, Indian wrestling, beachball volleyball). The
winning grade has the pleasure of taking the “Rebel flag” to the
traditional first home football game . .

Club members relax after the Wake-A-Thon.
We started the year as a club and ended it as a family who learned to work together to accomplish
goals. We helped Student Council by decorating for dances, challenged the Kawa-nian’s
to a volleyball game (which we won), held Bingo’s for the Senior Citizens, hosted the
Hawaiian Dance, and we miraculously stayed up for 36 hours. The money that was made
from the Wake-A-Thon was donated to the Taber Food Bank. Some of us even went to a convention
in Saskatoon, where we learned that we are the #1 Key Club in Western Canada!!! I
believe that we can continue to live up to this great honor as long as we work together as a
whole.
I would like to thank everyone for helping make this such a successful year and I hope that
this year has been as much fun for you as it has been for me . . .

The band finished off its year of hard
work with a very successful performance
at the International Concert
held in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan.
There they placed third among twelve
bands.
Thank you to all parents and students
who helped make this year a success.

In September, their real work begins. This
is the group that decides on grad T-shirts;
orders invitations, napkins, and cap and
gowns; determines and orders decorations;
and devises a theme. This group also organizes
the sale of oranges which is the main

In 1989 the Fighting Rebels had only one exhibition
game which was in Conrad, Montana. The
Rebels also attended a tournament in Edmonton
at the Archbishop O’Leary High School where
they played six games of 20 minutes each.
The regular season began with a loss to L.C.l. on
September 6. On September 15 and September
22 the Rebels lost two close games to Cardston
and Winston Churchill respectively.
On September 29, the Rebels dealt a loss to the
Raymond Comets. On October 5, the Rebels
handed out their first shutout against St. Mary’s
Warriors. The winning streak was not to continue,
as on October 13 the Rebels lost to Catholic Central
of Lethbridge, 6-0. However, the team was
soon to redeem themselves by defeating Kate
Andrews on October 20.
Then came the test of strength: the playoffs. The
Rebels hoped for a repeat performance as they
had to face the Raymond Comets again. The
Rebels defeated Raymond Comets by 1 point.
The Rebels then defeated the Black Diamond
Drillers by 1 point and the McCoy Colts by 6
points.
As the team began to realize it was possible to be
provincial champs, so did the school and
everyone turned out for the final game only to
watch the Rebels fall 6 inches short of winning the
Provincial Championship by being defeated by
the Rebels of Rocky Mountain House.

SPIKE
The 1989 volleyball season for me was a
definite enigma. We did turn our season around
from the previous year indicated by the results.
However, we failed to achieve some personal
goals, which will mean we will have to work extra
hard next year to make up for that. As a
team, we failed to become a “team”. A whole
bunch of “individuals” got together this year to
play volleyball. Each player had only one major
consideration -- himself. You can’t win the big
ones with that attitude, and we didn’t. We had
the talent to win but not the mental maturity.
This is why we didn’t achieve our goals.
If we mature mentally in the 1990 season, we
will be one of the best 3A teams in the province.
If we don’t, the year will be a long and fruitless
one. Myers High School will host the 3A provincials
in 1990 and I hope that our team to a man
will be looking for a provincial win in their
graduating year.

The 1989 Saints volleyball team enjoyed a successful season, finishing with a 76-69 win-loss
record.
After placing 4th in the pre-season tournament at Myers, the girls were unable to advance at
SAIT, U of L, and Okotoks. The team steadily improved during the season and placed 3rd at McCoy
tournament. We were eliminated by the 2A Provincial Champions Crowsnest Pandas in the
semi-finals.
We defeated our cross-town rivals from St. Mary’s in the last league match of the year, leaving the
Saints in a four-way tie for second place. Allison Schneider was chosen as a league all-star.
In the post-season tournament we went 6 and 2 in our pool and defeated Winston Churchill in the
semi-finals, before bowing to L.C.I. in the championship final, two games to one.
At the zone championship, we were 6-0 in our pool and defeated Catholic Central in the semifinals
to advance to our second championship final match in two weeks. We were defeated by a
strong McCoy team who went on to represent the south zone at provincials in Barrhead.

This year’s edition of the Myers Varsity Rebels had an
outstanding season. The team had a 20 win-10 loss record.
This included a second and a third place finish at the two most
prestigious basketball tournaments in the province. The team
was ranked as high as sixth in the province at the 4A level.
Given the school size, this is a fantastic indicator of the level of
“hoops” played here. The squad won the school’s first-ever
league championship.
The league scoring champion was Grade 10 student Tim Roll-ingson,
he also received a first team league all-star and all-star
recognition in the Sugar Bowl and Tri-Prov. Tom Anderson
received all-star recognition in the Sugar Bowl as well.
Captain Rob Oliver is the coach’s choice for team M.V.P.,
though, with his outstanding, courageous efforts game in and
game out.
Tim Rollingson, Coach.
With skilled players and a keen work-ethic, the Junior Varsity
team managed to have an 8-11 win/ loss record and finished
in 5th place in the Junior league.
Jared Bly provided leadership and guided Randy Oliver to key
shots. Brian Jensen worked hard, while Jason Pack began to
show the skills he is capable of. Ian Harris grabbed key rebounds
and provided muscle for the team under the hoop.
Cory Nelson helped immensely, while Rob Anderson and
Ryan Harris assisted in ballhandling duties and proved they
could compete when asked. Brandon Bly and Jonathon Bennett
improved throughout the year and relieved the front line.
Each player demonstrated drive, determination and good
sportsmanship throughout the year. W.R. Myers can be proud
of the responsible manner of these young men in this past
year.

their season with a 8 win-10 loss record. Their season record
was 16 wins-14 losses. Although the Rebels had somewhat
