Round dancing,
No full textGilbert, a well-known dancing master, notes that his book will deal only with round dances, and for other dances or rules of etiquette, the reader should turn elsewhere. After a brief discussion of the positions of the feet, the author discusses, in some length, the waltz position. The manual gives the directions for a large number of waltz, polka, galop, redowa, and mazurka variations--many of which are not described in other contemporary dance literature

Does interpupillary distance (IPD) relate to immediate cybersickness?
No full textWidespread adoption of virtual reality (VR) will likely be limited bythe common occurrence of cybersickness. Cybersickness suscepti-bility varies across individuals, and previous research reported thatinterpupillary distance (IPD) may be a factor. However, that workemphasized cybersickness recovery rather than cybersickness imme-diately after exposure. The current study (N=178) examined if themismatch between the user’s IPD and the VR headset’s IPD settingspredicts immediate cybersickness. Multiple linear regression indi-cated that gender and prior sickness due to screens were significantpredictors of immediate cybersickness. However, no relationshipbetween IPD mismatch and immediate cybersickness was observed.This preprint is published as Kelly, Jonathan, Taylor Doty, Michael Dorneich, and Stephen B.

On The Removal of Agricultural Price Bands in Chile: A General Equilibrium Analysis
No full textChile has supported its agriculture with the use of price bands on selected commodities namely wheat, vegetable oils and fats, and sugar. In this paper we consider agricultural reform and how urban unemployment, and rural-urban migration, may alter the expected welfare effects of agricultural reform. We utilize a new CGE model of the Chilean economy based on the Harris-Todaro ramework, incorporating imperfect labor mobility, and consider both price band removal and more extensive agricultural reform that eliminates all tariffs on agricultural and food commodities in Chile. Results show that if trade reforms damage the rural economy in Chile, potential gains in welfare from lower agricultural prices are offset by increased urban unemployment and lower rural wages resulting in net welfare loss from trade reform.

Kathryn-Anne Erdman brought honour to herself, her parents and her school when, in 1968, she won
the Governor General’s award for the highest marks in the grade nine Departmental Examinations. She
achieved 99% in Mathematics, 96% in Language, 92% in Science, 90% in Literature, 88% in Social Studies and
84% in Reading. Her average was 91.5%. In addition to receiving the Governor General's Award, Kathryn-
Anne was presented with the Oxford Dictionary by the Professional Engineers of Alberta for having obtained
the highest marks for Mathematics and Science in Lethbridge and area.
Kathy, as she is known by her friends, was born in Lethbridge on February 15th, 1954. She obtained
her elementary and junior high school education at the Gilbert Paterson School, during which time she won
numerous awards, including several city-wide. During her grade nine year, Kathy was the school president of
the Red Cross Youth. She has been a member of the Math. Club and the Biology Club and has participated in
House League Sports. She has taken part in plays and musicals conducted in the school and also by McKillop
Church, of which she is a member. She is a member of the McKillop Church Choir. For years she was a member
of the Lethbridge Sketch Club.
Kathy is a grade nine student with the Toronto Royal Conservatory of Music. She is taking grade
five harmony and grade four history of music. Kathy won two first prizes with her entries in the Lethbridge
Science Fair in addition to several prizes in the Lethbridge and District Fair for Home Economics, art and
notebooks. Her hobbies include astronomy, chess, reading, stamp, coin and rock collecting, swimming, badminton
and travelling. Kathy speaks four languages -- English, Estonian, French and German -- fluently.
Kathryn-Anne Erdman, we at Paterson are proud of your achievements
and we take pleasure in dedicating this yearbook to you. We thank
you for the honour you have brought to our school and we will watch
your future with interest and pride.
"A little more persistence,
A little more effort,
And what seems a hopeless failure,
May turn to a glorious success."

TO THE STUDENTS OF 1968-1969:
All are looking forward to the end of June -- the end of another school year and the holiday
season of July and August.
Grade IX students will be thinking of the new school year, of entering Senior High School,
probably the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute. The coming school year also marks the beginning of the
so-called "divided school year" starting the last week in August of 1969 and ending early in June, 1970.
The present school year of 1968-69 has seen increased unrest, greater turbulence, and wanton
destruction in many universities. Many who protest advocate such things as no gradings, no examinations,
no definite course or curriculum for subjects, and other co-called "reforms".
Is getting an education - Elementary, Junior High, Senior High, Technical or Business,
University - just a process of putting in so many minutes, hours, months, and years? Will progress in
school be based on seniority - will pupils pass - be granted diplomas - obtain certificates - secure
degrees - based on time spent in certain educational institutions?
What of the everyday world? Everyone has some hobby, some form of recreation. How many would
play hockey, basketball, baseball, badminton and not keep score? How many golfers are not interested in
improving their score - in playing par golf or better? The dream of every bowler is to bowl a perfect
game. Those engaged in archery, in trap-shooting keep some record of their achievement.
What about the world of work? Every plumber, bricklayer, carpenter, or television technician
has completed a very definite course to acquire certain skills to be able to do what is demanded in his
trade. His ability has been measured in some way or other. How many people are engaged in selling -
and how many salespeople do not strive constantly to improve their sale’s record?
How many would have trust in professional men - lawyers, dentists, doctors - if they had not
taken definite courses - had not achieved a particular core of knowledge and a certain degree of skill
(measured in some way or other) in their general fields?
Do not delude yourself. There is no easy way to make the most of your life. Those who believe
that pleasure is all important first have to do some work to make that pleasure possible. What the future
holds for you depends on the education you get and how you use that education.
Although the news media give much publicity to restless youth, there are many boys and girls
who are attempting, in a most responsible manner, to secure a higher education.

The school year 1968-69 has come and gone very quickly. During this past year, the Students' Council has worked very hard trying to please the young adults of Gilbert Paterson. I would like to thank the teachers, students and our advisor, Mr. Millar, for all the help we obtained this year.
Throughout this year, we have tried to give you a variety of-activities and parties. For the first time, swimming parties were held and they made a large impression on the students. We had four skating parties which I am sure all enjoyed except for those who were curious to see how soft the ice was. A bowling party was held for the sevens and eights. For the grade nines, two dances have been held and the Graduation Dance is upcoming in the future. The first dance was a record hop which was held in the fall and the second was held on Valentine’s Day. We had a live band at the second dance and a King and Queen were chosen. On Sadie Hawkins' Day, everyone came clad in some weird but sophisticated costume. The contest between the finalists was held on the stage and was different. We had a badminton tournament between the teachers and students. Most came out of that with strained muscles. A photo contest was held for the yearbook and we did away with the houses.
At Christmas, the school band entertained us with a program while Firs. Lees’ chorus sang some carols after which the student body sang. We were also entertained by the L.C.I. Band and had a visit by Sketch Erickson. After Easter, the Allied Arts Council entertained us with a variety program.
During the past year, I think our school showed more school spirit than anyone else in years gone by. Everyone was up for the basketball games or the tournaments the school attended. I think you all should be proud of this and endeavor to increase this in future years.
I am sure that the grade nines are looking forward to the Graduation Exercises at the end of the year. I would like to say that I have greatly enjoyed serving as your president and the experience I gained from it is considerably large. I would like to send my best wishes to next years council and to everyone, good luck on your exams.
----- Greg AndersonAVE ATQUE VALE
It is with real regret that, having reached that certain age, I must leave Gilbert Paterson School and join the ranks of the retired.
When I came here in 1958 it was with the intention of staying one year, but the friendliness afforded me was so wonderful that I stayed on. This is the longest period spent in any one school by me since beginning my teaching career in May 1922. That speaks volumes for Gilbert Paterson Jr. High.
This is a school to be proud of. It has a first rate reputation academically, and is well known for the control exercised in a kindly way over the students in attendance. I am proud to have been part of it and thank all who have made my stay here one which will never be forgotten.Graduation Exercises were held at the Gilbert
Paterson Junior High School on the evening of June 6, 1969.
Following the program a dance was held at the L.C.I.

**************
"FOR THE FUTURE"
Go forth my son with banner and with shield
The spoils of earth are yours to reap
This world has much that it can yield It can be yours and yours to keep.
Turn not away from any man
And beckon all who wayward trod
But always look for Heaven’s guide
And keep your faith in God.
The world is cruel and hard and cold
But beauty can be found
In love, in all the Godly things
That he has made abound.
Seek out the Lamp of Righteousness
Heed not the Tempters call
In truth and faith and love, my son
You’ll reap the harvest all.

"SUCCESS is a matter of adjusting one’s efforts to obstacles and one’s abilities to a service needed by others. Most people think of it in terms of getting; Success begins in terms of giving."
—Henry FordMUSIC FESTIVAL ENTRIES
Gilbert Paterson Junior High School did very well at the Music Festival
this year. The Glee Club, consisting of forty-two members from Grades VII, VIII
and IX, placed first in the Junior High Folk Singing Class. Mrs. Hope acted as
accompanist. The Girls’ Chorus, a purely voluntary group of twenty-two members
from Grade VII placed first with an "H" standing to receive the R.A. Wright
Trophy. This group had Mr. Smerek as accompanist. The eighteen member, Grades
VII and VIII Boys’ Chorus, another strictly voluntary group, placed first.
Again, Mr. Smerek was accompanist. Two Girls’ Trios in Open Class placed first
and second in competition. The groups were Elaine McKeen, Sheri McFadden and
Melaney Black, first; Sharmaine Bzdell, Sheila Bullock and Lisa Corley, second.
Accompanist was Mrs. Lees. We had five Grade VII Girl’s Solo entries. Lisa
Corley and Sheri McFadden were adjudicated as third. Two Grade VII Boy’s Solo
entries were made but neither participated. One withdrew and one was ill. One
Grade VIII Boy’s Solo, Jim Toone, placed first to win the Donaldson Trophy.
Two Grade VIII girls entered solos and Barbara Peterson was adjudicated third
place.
The students of Gilbert Paterson Junior
High School are greatly indebted to the students
who have contributed their services and
talents to the make-up of their annual Yearbook.
Special thanks are due to Trevor Cook,
editor; to Donald Allan and Orrie Cumming,
assistant editors and to Roger Taniwa, cartoonist.
These four people spent many hours
of their own time planning, getting name
lrsts and reports and, in general, doing about
everything from pasting pictures to writing and
editing. Without their efforts, your Yearbook
would have travelled a very rocky road to completion.
The student’s of our school owe these
four people a big "Thank You" for a job which,
we hope you will agree, is well done.
LITTLE THOUGHTS
"If time be of all things the most precious," according to Benjamin
Franklin, "wasting time must be the greatest prodigality, since lost time
is never found again. Let us then up and be doing, and doing to the purpose;
so by diligence shall we do more with less perplexity."
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little
things, in which smiles, and kindnesses, and small obligations, given
habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort.
Spare moments are the gold dust of time. Of all the portions of
our life, the spare moments are the most fruitful in good or evil.
VALEDICTORY ADDRESS
by Susan Morgan
Mr. Chairman, Honoured Guests, Parents, Teachers, and Fellow Graduands:
"What is worth the trouble of doing, is worth the trouble of doing well." This ancient proverb applies especially to our schoolings Very shortly we will be facing the first formal set erf departmental examinations in our education. After these there will be many more challenges, such as those in high school, • university, technical schools, business schools, and future vocations. We should never face these challenges indolently, for success only comes through the desire to excel. If we have a positive outlook in life, our returns for what we do will also be positive.
When Madame Curie was in high school, she won many awards for outstanding work. Once, when she was asked if she wished to be better than the others, she replied that she did not want to be better than other students but to be the best person possible within herself. Like Madam Curie, we should not compare ourselves to others but compare ourselves to what we are capable of doing. We should ask ourselves if we are doing a good job, a better job, or the best job possible, and always strive for the latter. Among us are those who will be taking a matriculation program, a business program, or a technical vocational i program. At these we should always try to do our best. Whether you plan to be a doctor, lawyer, or Indian Chief, you should always strive to be the best doctor, lawyer, or Indian Chief possible. Perhaps we could reflect now upon the mottcr'of Lord Thompson who rose from selling newspapers on a street corner in Estevan, Saskatchewan, to become the owner of one of the world5s largest newspaper syndicates. His motto in life was: "Never a backward step". He meant by this that one should never become complacent or perhaps even slip backward after achieving one’s goal.
One must always look to the future for forthcoming success, and not be a slave of the past, thinking only of past accomplishments and failures. However, through past experiences, one may derive knowledge that will make future successes possible. One must learn through experiences, even though it may give a wrong conclusion. It is a wise man who reflects on past experiences in order to make decisions for his present and future goals. Looking back at the time we have spent at Gilbert Paterson, we see that the experiences and the knowledge we have obtained will help us in our further education.
Many of the thought processes of a computer are like that of the human brain. The most expensive part of a computer lies in its memory systems. The greater storage capacity of its memories, the greater the ability for solving more difficult and complex problems. So man, like a computer, must use his memory in order to facilitate future learning and problem solving. During the past three years, we have been learning and storing knowledge that will help us succeed in the future. Let us hope that we will continue to add to this wealth of knowlege during the next years of our education.ROOM 10^

Comparison of a 3-set genotyping system with multilocus sequence typing for Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus)
No full textGroup B streptococcus (GBS; Streptococcus agalactiae) is the most common cause of neonatal and obstetric sepsis and is an increasingly important cause of septicemia in elderly individuals and immunocompromised patients. Epidemiological studies of GBS infections require comprehensive typing systems that provide information about variable characteristics, such as antigenic type, virulence, or antibiotic resistance, as well as the "backbone" structure or the genetic lineage of isolates. We have previously described a 3-set genotyping system that identifies the molecular serotype (MS) or molecular serosubtype (msst), the protein gene profile, and the presence of several mobile genetic elements (F. Kong, D. Martin, G. James, and G. L. Gilbert, J. Med. Microbiol. 52:337-344, 2003). In this study, 83 clinical GBS isolates which had been previously studied by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) (N. Jones, J. F. Bohnsack, S. Takahashi, K. A. Oliver, M. S. Chan, F. Kunst, P. Glaser, C. Rusniok, D. W. Crook, R. M. Harding, N. Bisharat, and B. G. Spratt, J. Clin. Microbiol. 41:2530-2536, 2003) were examined by using the 3-set genotyping system. Genotypes were assigned to five isolates that were nontypeable by conventional serotyping. There were 27 "3-set" genotypes, 24 multilocus sequence types (STs), and 35 unique combinations (or strains), of which the 4 most common, msst III-2 (ST-17), msst III-1 (ST-19), Ia-1 (ST-23), and V-1 (ST-1), accounted for more than 60% of isolates. The 83 isolates were grouped into seven clusters, with a good correlation between the multilocus STs and the genotypes. The combination of 3-set genotyping and MLST adds discriminatory power to strain typing of GBS, which will be useful for future studies of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of GBS disease.MicrobiologySCI(E)16ARTICLE94704-47074
Cotton Fields No More: Southern Agriculture, 1865-1980
No full textNo general history of southern farming since the end of slavery has been published until now. For the first time, Gilbert C. Fite has drawn together the many threads that make up commercial agricultural development in the eleven states of the old Confederacy, to explain why agricultural change was so slow in the South, and then to show how the agents of change worked after 1933 to destroy the old and produce a new agriculture.
Fite traces the decline and departure of King Cotton as the hard taskmaster of the region, and the replacement of cotton by a somewhat more democratically rewarding group of farm products: poultry, cattle, swine; soybeans; citrus and other fruits; vegetables; rice; dairy products; and forest products. He shows how such crop changes were related to other developments, such as the rise of a capital base in the South, mainly after World War II; technological innovation in farming equipment; and urbanization and regional population shifts.
Based largely upon primary sources, Cotton Fields No More will become the standard work on post-Civil War agriculture in the South. It will be welcomed by students of the American South and of United States agriculture, economic, and social history.
Gilbert C. Fite is Richard B. Russell Professor of History at the University of Georgia. He is the author of American Farmers: The New Minority, Beyond the Fencerows: A History of Farmland Industries Inc., 1929–1978 and other books.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_united_states_history/1036/thumbnail.jp
