Eliott Baker introducing Bruce Springsteen (Feb. 2, 1974)
No full textThis is a photographic print of Eliott Baker staging on a stage in the Memorial Field House on the campus of Springfield College introducing Bruce Springsteen and his band (Feb. 2, 1974). Eliott is speaking into a microphone and has arms spread out wide. Instruments can be seen behind him. The photographic print has experienced some damage around the edges, most likel from mold. Also performing that night was the Persuasions. According to The Springfield Student newspaper, there were only a few students at the concert, which was unfortunate because this was before Bruce Springsteen hit it big with one of his most successful studio albums, Born to Run.To learn more about Eliott G. Baker, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/375Written on Post-it note attached to the photograph was, "1974 Eliott Baker '74 Introducing Bruce Springsteen".; Photographic print has experienced some mold damage, causing discoloration around the edges of the photograph.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
In a democratic society such as ours it is the privilege of every
boy and girl to obtain twelve years of education at Public Expense.
It is the responsibility of every boy and girl in a society such
as ours to take advantage of these educational opportunities which are
available to them.
It Is well to remember that when privileges are abused it is
possible for the privilege itself to be lost.
It is my hope that each and everyone of you are using to the best
advantage,the privilege which has been accorded to you,by the citizens
of our community, In this school of ours.
I wish you every success in your academic endeavors, and it is my
prayer that you find it possible to follow the vocation or profession
which you have chosen, so that the contributions you make to society
throughout your life, will repay in part, the sacrifices which others
have made for you.

VAIEDICTORY
by MUTSUKO FURUSE
WE, the Class of '53, are about to consummate
twelve years of school association.
Here, in the sanctuary of High School, we were
taught; now we must teach ourselves, tony of us came
to Coaldale High from other schools, other provinces
and even other countries. Among us are students of
different races and of many nationalities. Nevertheless,
here, we are gathered as one class, pursuing a
common goal-to seek truth,to glean knowledge, and to
develop an understanding of life.As our forebearers
have done and as our successors shall have to do, we
too, must carry high the banners of our school. It
will now be our privilege and duty to help make our
nation a better place in which to live.
(
Writing up the minutes,
our Secretary of 1956,
1957& '58 is very neat.
Ih an oratofcical contest in
1956 she could not be beat.
8ur school years can be divided into three books.
Book One consisting of the elementary grades, Book
Two--Junior High, and Book Three--High School. Each
of these books contain chapters. It was throughout
these chapters that we learned and put into action
the spirit of good sportsmanship. It was also here
that we learned to respect the rights, not only of
the individual, but of the community and of the
country.
1 believe that if we want to know where our
happiness or where our usefulness lies, we will have
to analyze frankly our own weaknesses. We may make
mistakes,but if we are willing to learn and to profit
by these mistakes and to ever press forward towards
a worthy goal, then our dreams may become a reality
and life a useful thing. It is tnen we can offer our
gift to society; it may be as a teacher, a minister,
a journalist, a doctor, or an engineer.
It is a great privilege to be one of the graduates
to pass through these halls of learning. I
hope that we may be worthy of the faith and the
trust placed in us by our parents and our teachers.
c
In the words of Shakespeare, "Parting Is such
sweet sorrow". And so, we bid farewell to Coaldale
High School.

STUDENTS® UNION REPORT
by Edward Richai'ds
1957-58 has been. & busy school year for the StudentsQ Uniong the executive and the various committees whelk enable the Students’ Union to function smoothlyo
One of the first major changes made was the decision to print a yearbook again thia year instead of ©very fourth year as in the paste Pages will be added to this yearbook again next- year the emphasis being on the graduating class each year*
The Students’ Union has been rather active pertaining to sports this year* We purchased new basketball uniforms for both the girls’ and boys’ senior teamsc A challenge trophy was also purchased for the second event of the High School Ben- spielo
As ammoadrasat to the Constitution was made by the student bodyj, stating that ia case a vacancy arose in one of the offices of the executives before January 31st e an election ofuld be held to fill the vacancy,, and after January 31sts it would be left to the discretion of the executive either to appoint aomesody or to call an election,.
Rings were ordered for those desiring them, however crests were not ordered this year since they were last yearo Function cards were ones again discussed at soma length6 and a plan was drawn up of a proposed card* However9 in view of a number of disadvantagesp function cards were not adopted*
On a recommendation made lest year8 this year’s Prom Queen was chosen by student
vote rather than by judging. This system proved highly satisfactory o
In March a letter was received from the Chamber of Commerce requesting representation from the Students Union at their meetings concerning the need for a Civic Centre for Coaldale*
And that is a brief summary of what the Students’ Union did in 1957-58*
YEARBOOK REPORT
by Rudy Kaethler
In auruznn at a general assembly the Students’ Union instigated a yearbook in order to have a continuous presentation of students and their activities* To achieve this purpose a fundamental or basic book was to be published this year, thus allowing pages to b® added in succeeding terms* The Intercollegiate Press Inc* Representative s Mr* "Gy" Brown„ gave us this idea with a correspondingly low-priced contracto
In the first few meetings,, after the staff was set ups we planned the general composition of Milestones* Sine® we wore able to obtain individual pictures of all the students quit© early„ we had only to worry about group and candid pictures* However,, the problem solved itself when Carl offered to take group pictures and a camera contest was planned to get candids* Carl Nlshimuras Gary Hadford and Ray Shims took the prizes in that order* A sales competition between the room salesman was won by Leonard Vaselenak of the Twelve A room* In dedicating MILESTONES to Mr* Ro Jo Baldry„ we attempted to further your community awareness at the sametime showing our appreciation to
Mr, Baldry for the many years of
servlcs to Coaldale»
The years will tell the
failure , or success of our
attempt5 ...however» a show ofap--.
predation is due to the group
of workers who fashioned MILS-STONES,,
Mr Baldwin, Carl Ni-shimuras
George Horner and Varner
Paetkau helped carry the
brunt of the load, Judy Jacobsen
did a fine job ,of campaigning
for- subscribers and Jacob
Loewen, as Advertising Managerc.

ANNUAL REPORT ON THE ’BW
George Horner Mutsuko Kuruse
In carrying on a tradition
of many years6 the Students’ Union
this term again undertook to
sponsor our High School Newspaper;,
the BUGLET This undertaking
has again proven to he a
success8 as facts seem to indicate
,
It can be safely said that
the BUGLE=staff has done a good
job in providing the students
with e, newspaper which contained
materiel of acceptable quality
Even . though this seemed not to
be the case at the outset of the
term, when th® staff had a
little trouble in getting the
"ball rolling", indications
around the middle of the term
were that the BUGLE was goad
enough to gain the praise of
some of our teachers and even
teachers of*- other schools who
read the BUGLE.
ThiSj, of course, is due
largely to the work of the BUGLE
sfcaff members and resa reporters,
to whoa we would like to
express bur thanks for the coop
aration rec eired,,
But much of th© credit goes
to the teaching-staff members-who
enabled us to use the fact
lilies of the school in prepar-lag
th© BUGLE® Mr-, Baldwin, who
spent hours in checking reports
and getting them typed and
printede deserves special mention,
as does Mr, Solberg, who
greatly helped us in connection
with contributions to our Easter
Issue,,
As, this report is being
written, preparations are underway
for a final giant--size issue
of the BUGLE.,, and in anticipation
of the outcome of this pro-jest,
we would Ilk© to express
our thanks to those who will
give us their cooperation, Also
from the rest of the staff,, we
wish good luck and success to
next year’s IKJGLS-staff ®
