Credit default swaps:what are the social benefi ts and costs?
Credit default swaps (CDSs) are derivative contracts that allow agents to shift the risk of default on an underlying credit from a credit protection buyer to a credit protection seller. Like other derivatives they are standardised relative to the underlying cash markets and in this way can help promote market liquidity. This in turn can facilitate risk shifting and price discovery. In this way they may lead to accurate pricing of credit risk and ultimately to the reduced costs of borrowing. However, like other derivatives it is possible that CDS contracts could play a part in market manipulations, especially when the underlying cash market is not transparent. This is a potential cost of CDS trading that should be weighed against potential benefi ts of liquidity, risk shifting and price discovery. We discuss the balance of these trade-offs in the context of singlename corporate CDSs, index CDSs, sovereign CDSs and CDSs on structured credit product tranches. We also discuss other potential costs of CDS trading including that they “make selling short too cheap” and that they may create market instability by facilitating speculative attacks.

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

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

The case for tradable remedies in WTO dispute settlement
In response to concerns over the efficacy of the WTO dispute settlement system, especially in regard to its use by developing countries, Mexico has tabled a proposal to introduce tradable remedies within the Dispute Settlement Understanding. The idea is that a country that has won cause before the WTO, and who is facing non-implementation by the author of the illegal act but feels that its own capacity to exercise its right to impose countermeasures is unlikely to lead to compliance, can auction off that right. The attractiveness of this idea is that it offers an additional possibility to injured WTO members to get something from the dispute settlement mechanism without putting into question the legal nature of the existing contract, that is, the predominantly decentralized system of enforcement in the WTO. Examining all disputes brought to the WTO since its inception, the authors find some support for Mexico's perception that developing countries face a practical problem when they attempt to carry through with effective retaliation within the WTO system. And based on the formal results of Bagwell, Mavroidis, and Staiger (2003), they describe arguments that lend some support to the efficacy of Mexico's proposed solution from the perspective of formal economic theory.Information Technology,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,General Technology,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Trade and Services,Economic Theory&Research,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Information Technology,World Trade Organization
Message passing neural networks for molecular property prediction
This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Thesis: M. Eng. in Computer Science and Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2019Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 81-84).Developing new drugs relies heavily on understanding the various molecular properties of potential drug candidates. While experimental assays performed in the lab are the best source of information about molecular properties, these assays are slow and expensive. For this reason, there has been great interest in the potential of machine learning models to predict molecular properties without the need for experimental assays. However, recent literature has not yet clearly determined which machine learning models are optimal for molecular property prediction. In this thesis, I apply the Direct Message Passing Neural Network (D-MPNN) from [47, 48] to 19 publicly available property prediction datasets, and I demonstrate that it consistently outperforms prior machine learning models. Additionally, I introduce several optimizations to the D-MPNN which further enhance its performance and lead to new state-of-the-art results.by Kyle Swanson.M.

This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Thesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Architecture, 2019Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references.Architecture has historically been situated within the world of mixed reality. Brunelleschi's Baptistery in Florence introduced illusory space inserting depth into a two-dimensional plane in the fifteenth century. Centuries later, the Bauhaus challenged the hegemony of perspectival space in favor of axonometric projection, subverting the perceived experience of architecture for its formal attributes. Today our perception of the world is mediated by social media, photo manipulation software, and screen resolution. These technologies conspire not for a fidelity to reality but to promote social and political agendas-truth is not truth. Conversely, rapid improvements in camera technology attempts an objective unification of what qualifies as "clear" and "crisp" photography to document the world while counter-cultural technologies, including hallucinogenic drugs, seek clarification of a different kind. Sightfulness is a guided trip through media phase changes. It fluidly moves between photo realistic representations of common elements in space to impossible infinite multiplications, inversions, distortions and moments of pure abstraction. It leverages advances in computational software that allow a blurring between the virtual and the real. It disorients the viewer through unpredictable transitions, destabilizing their conception of the world that they are inhabiting.by Kyle Branchesi.S.M.S.M.

Domestic Policies, National Sovereignty and International Economic Institutions
To what extent must nations cede control over their economic and social policies if global efficiency is to be achieved in an interdependent world? This question is at the center of the debate over the future role of GATT (and its successor, the WTO) in the realm of labor and environmental standards. Current GATT rules reflect the primacy of market access concerns in GATT practice, and this orientation is seen increasingly as unfriendly to labor and environmental causes. Fundamental changes to GATT are being considered as a result, changes that would expand the scope of GATT negotiations to include labor and environmental policies, and would lead to a significant loss of sovereignty for national governments. In this paper we establish that there is no need for the WTO to expand the scope of its negotiations in this way. We show instead that the market access focus of current GATT rules is well-equipped to handle the problems associated with choices over labor and environmental standards, and that with relatively modest changes that grant governments more sovereignty, not less, these rules can in principle deliver globally efficient outcomes.

HIGHSCHOOL
What is Myers?
We're those public
school kids from Taber.
We're those students who have
teachers who actually want to stay
after class and help you understand
your homework.
We're that school who has developed
a sense of identity through the
diversity of our peers.
We're the ones who know what it's like
to suffer a loss, not just as an
individual,
but os a collective.
And how to persevere, and help one
another through that loss.
We've been through a lot together,
and we prove time after time that we
are able to handle anything.
Looking back at my last four years at
Myers, I truly believe that this school
develops strength of character.
Keep it classy, Myers.

Of Friends and
When I dream
Of friends and time,
My mind floats
Forth through meadows
Filled with love,
And the lives of man
Are lives of joy,
And harmony abounds.
1972
When I think
Of friends and time,
Things worry me
That maybe, aren't really
there,
And lust for things
I do not need,
To make my life worth
living.
As I live with
Friends and time,
I see nature choked
By people out for gain
At any cost
The poor get poorer,
The rich get richer,
There is no end.
So now I pose
This question,
Which is best?
To dream,
To think,
To live,
With friends and time.
It's not for me
Alone to say.
DEDICATION
MR. FRANK SEMAKA
Some might scoff at the fuss made for Mr. Semaka, after all he is just a vice-principal. Not True! So much is
owed by so many to this man. His life work as an educator exceeded the normal bounds of a teacher. He has advised
us when we've been confused, encouraged us when we were in doubt, taught us when we did not know and punished us
when we should have known better. His accomplishments and recognitions have been many and although his years as
an educator runs into higher math his presence will be sorely missed. It is for these reasons and for numerous others that
the students of Myers dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Frank Semaka, a scholar among scholars.
Dennis Kunimoto - Class President
There are mixed feelings I'm sure, at the close of this school year as we contemplate the retirement of our Mr.
Semaka. The name of Frank Semaka has become synonymous with education in the high school in Taber. Whenever
you think of the high school here, you naturally think of Mr. Semaka. At this time of year, I pay tribute to Mr. Semaka
who has given the best years of his life to the youth of our community. He has given of himself freely wherever there was
a need. He has over the years been an example to all of us exemplifying the qualities for which he stood; such things as
honesty, integrity, devotion to duty and responsibility. Students could "count on him", teachers and administrators could
rely on him, the school board and the public could always expect to receive a full measure of service from him. Anyone
who became acquainted with him were better off for just having known him.
It has been a privilege to have been acquainted with Frank Semaka for some twenty and plus years and to have worked
and associated very closely with him for the past ten. In my association with him, I have found him to be co-operative,
loyal, good-hearted and a true friend.
In the years to come, I wish you, Frank Semaka, the best; for you and yours. Even though you are leaving the profession
and our place of employment I hope I have many more opportunities to associate with you.
Rell G. Francis
Vice-Principal
I would like to commend the yearbook committee for their decision to dedicate this
edition of the "Myers Dawn" to Mr. Semaka. Such recognition is well deserved.
Over the past eight years, I have worked very closely with Mr. Semaka and have
appreciated his many fine qualities. The two characteristics that to me are most outstanding
are his dependability and his dedication to education. Students and teachers
alike could always count on Mr. Semaka to have his work done on time and to have it
well done. His concern for individual students was manifested in the many hours of
earnest conversation and counselling with literally thousands of students during his more
than thirty years of service.
Mr. Semaka's exemplar conduct is a model that many students would do well to
emulate.
James L. George
Superintendent
PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
I would like to express my appreciation to all the staff and students for their assistance in various ways during my first
year at W. R. Myers. The co-operation and support experienced has been very commendable.
Generally, I think the relationship between staff and students has been quite satisfactory, considering that occasional
conflicts of interest and irritations occur. Students' Councils (and their committees) have been most helpful in further
developing a favorable atmosphere for learning. Their interest and co-operation is continually required for the school to
function effectively.
The work of staff committees has resulted in some changes to the Jr. High modified program and Jr. and Sr. High
promotions policies. We expect that these changes will have beneficial effects for the students concerned. A full-scale
semester system has been introduced in Sr. High, and continued on a limited basis in the Jr. High. We are expanding the
Work Experience program and the Special Projects Credits. A W. R. Myers in Depth Study Guide has been published, and
the School handbook has been revised for the orientation and guidance of teachers and students.
Special thanks to the Yearbook Committee and the publishers of the Jr. and Sr. Newspapers. It takes a great deal of
planning, responsibility, and work to produce quality publications which will contribute positively to the stature of the
school, as well as provide an outlet for creative talents. These are tasks which are very time-consuming, and they may
not always appear to be appreciated; but they have a significant role in the total school program -- requiring support and
active participation.
Our 1972 Graduation ceremony was a bright and colorful occasion. It included a farewell to our Mr. Semaka, teacher
at W. R. Myers School for thirty years, (the last 12 years as Vice-principal), and a man who has left his mark in the
minds and hearts of many students and teachers. We wish him every success in his retirement years.
The Worth Commission Report suggests the possibility of many changes in Education. We will need to assess trends,
recommendations, and innovations carefully in terms of educational objectives, in order to make appropriate decisions for
the ultimate benefit of our students. We must not forget that the school has a two-fold purpose: to serve the needs and
interests of the individual students, and to fulfill objectives of the larger society.
Let us proceed into the 1972-'73 school year with courage and conviction. There are numerous jobs to be done well,
whether it is in the teaching or the learning. May all of you set worthy goals, and make an earnest effort to achieve those
goals.

Last years council began by making a council room on the top floor of the old building. This was done as a summer
project. Councils put on a student exchange which was fairly good considering it was the first year. Council also went
to Lethbridge and Coaldale to visit the High Schools and gain some new ideas. Council also sponsored several High
School dances, and also saved the school from having all dances prohibited.
KEYETTE CLUB
The Keyette Club is a service group. We had a membership of thirty-three girls. Our executive consisted of
Presidents: Cheryl Luehr, first half of year; and Mona Wilde, Secretary: Bronwyn Ellingson, Treasurer: Marilyn Winkler,
and our Advisor: Mrs. Neilson.
Some of the money raising activities we participated in this year were: bake sales, and the banquet for the
Kiwanis Club.
We also provided various services for the community. At Christmas time we donated money to the Fire Department
for Christmas gifts for welfare children. Also at Christmas we worked along with the Key Club in assisting the Salvation
Army. We also aided with the Blood Donors Clinic. At school we helped and did most of the planning for the Fort
Benton Exchange.

Club, better known as M. A.R.C. The club
has a strength of approximately 20 members
and is very fortunate to have Mr. Stevenson
as advisor. The club successfully carried out
four or five launches during the year, as well
as going on a field trip to the University of
Calgary to gain information on the Rocket
experiments done on the Northern Lights. The
Rocketry Club is open to all people in the
school and we hope to see some better participation
in future years.

MYERS STUDENTS
PAINT A PICTURE OF FUN
As they let their true colors (red and gold)
show through.
What is “The Art of Fun”? If you were to ask any one of our students,
past or present, they would all answer W.R. Myers is the art of fun. Myers
school spirit and loyalty always shines through on our annual Fun Day
at the park. The grades compete against one another in a medley of fast-paced
events ranging from the “Ghetto Van Cram” to the true test of inferiority,
“War Games”, and even included a giant water fight to end the
annual episode. The day was dedicated to our bold football team, but that
didn’t mean they were the only ones having a blast.
The Grade 12’s swept the days’ events and won the school flag which
is a most prestigious event. Participation was great from all ends. The Grade
9’s were naturally a bit shy but soon got into the swing of things just in
time to give the higher grades a run for their money in the final events.
All-in-all, everyone, staff and students alike, will leave Myer’s knowing
that the true “Art of Fun” is not a picture, object or skill, but a feeling
of common bonding and pride like the school spirit that thrives at Myers.
8
These pages are dedicated to the students of W.R.
Myers for without them there would be no student life.
Student life means different things to different people.
To some, it is sneeking down to the cafeteria to grab a
quick snack, while to others it’s sleeping on the student
couch during spare time. Whatever it is, it’s become an
important part of every school day. It gives W.R. Myers
character so as we look back at our years here we will
have more to remember than tests and essays. We will
also remember that this was the year we made student
life into “A Work of Art”.

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

Formal was held at the Civic

A live band, The Peace Dogs,

music was loud and heavy. Some
appreciated that more than others.

*
November 23 and 24, 1990 heralded a momentous occasion
for the students and staff of W.R. Myers High School. For
only the second time ever, we hosted the 3A PROVINCIAL
boys volleyball championships. Any time a school hosts a provincial
championship of any kind, it provides the school with
a tremendous opportunity to showcase its student spirit, staff
involvement and school team expertise. We had that opportunity
at this event and exhibited, in all areas, a school that we
can be proud of.
Our tournament chairman is a former staff member and a
dynamic individual, Ms. Debbie Sargeant. Debbie is an organizer
extraordinaire, and the success of the tournament was
due in large part to her super effort.
Our staff got involved in the logistics of such a major undertaking
right down to the last person. They were enthusiastic,
supportive, and showed a pride in our school that only good
staffs can demonstrate. They were also a significant reason why
this event was such a success.
Our student body supported the tournament and our team
for the week leading up to and the days of the Provincial. They
came in numbers, made more noise than I’ve heard at a volleyball
match in this school in a long time, and were a major
reason why I felt so satisfied along with my players at the end
of the tournament.
Our team came to play this weekend. They played their best
ball in 3 years, of what was for all of them, their graduation
year. They played in the best matches of the tournament, and
provided every team they played with their toughest competition.
The final results were as follows:
Round Robin:
First:
Second:
Semi-Finals:
Pool A
Myers High School
Drumheller
Pool B
Fort McMurray
Wetaskiwin
Wetaskiwin 2, Myers 1
Drumheller 2, Fort McMurray 0
Bronze Medal Match: Myers 2, Fort McMurray 0
Gold Medal Match: Wetaskiwin 2, Drumheller 0
I have coached volleyball at Myers for 16 years, and this
Provincial ranks as one of the best, if not THE best of them
all, due in no small part to the great support from everyone
from fans to committee members. Provincials is a prestigious
event, and we pulled it off with flying colours.

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

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

STUDENTS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING (SADD)
A few students got together in
the beginning of the school year
to promote the idea of students
against drunk driving through out
the school and community. We
went to Medicine Hat to a three-school
conference to get our
ideas. We then had our meetings.
We had many ideas proposed for
the year; however, only a few
were carried out. We had a

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

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

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

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