Organizing the 50th Anniversary of Picture Butte High School began in April 1999. A member of the Picture Butte High School staff called upon Charmaine (Karren) Sucher and Jeanene (Pilling) Casson encouraging us to co chair a school anniversary. We brain stormed and started to organize a committee with the first meeting of the group being held September 23, 1999. A steering committee of 11 was soon together. It was decided that the school anniversary would not be complete without inviting the teachers, office and janitorial staff, and bus drivers. A class rep was chosen for each year from 1949 to
1999 as well as a rep for the teaching and auxiliary staff. The search for names and addresses was launched with a deadline of November 30. Picture Butte High School students as far back as 1930 approached the committee indicating that they too would like to be involved. The committee welcomed the idea and the word Homecoming was added to the event. Seven volunteers offered to enter into their home computers, on a Reunion Planner Program, the data gathered. A target date for the first mailout was January 26,
2000 at which time 55 eager, enthusiastic volunteers arrived at the Community Centre to stuff envelopes. Approximately 2500 invitations and questionnaires were mailed to all parts of the world the next day and over the next few months approximately another 1050 questionnaires were disbursed. Shortly after the mailout, the word was out and everyone was talking about the anniversary and homecoming. As replies started to come back, now ten computer volunteers began entering responses into the program in order to prepare the anniversary books for printing. Response to the questionnaire was remarkable with approximately 1500 replying. Countless hours were spent entering information, preparing the year book pictures, checking and rechecking to make sure that the books were ready. The deadline to have the books to press was May 23, 2000. A big “Hooray!” could be heard the day everything went to the printers. Meanwhile all the other committees were busy: organizing the caterer, bartenders, band, tables and chairs, entertainment, souvenirs, you name it. Each meeting a new deadline was set and met in due course.
We recognize and thank the steering committee for their special skills and dedication to ensuring the success of this event.
Historian - Don Becklund (Principal/Teacher at PBHS from 1970-1981)- Countless hours went into interviewing people, gathering photos, organizing computer volunteers and getting the book ready to the publisher.
Invitations and Sundry Duties - Cliff Casson (Class of 1961) - Lots of running around obtaining quotes and attending to the details.
Banquet - Anne (Boras) Gibbons (Class of 1951) - Working very closely with the Caterer to make sure that the meal will be perfect. What a job to get the tables and chairs organized.Entertainment - Fonda (Nalder) Hanna (Class of 1953) - Spending time on the phone organizing the jam session on Saturday afternoon and making sure we had a good sound system and an excellent band for the dance.
Publicity - Mary Oikawa (Teacher at PBHS from 1960 to 1990) - Working closely with the newspapers, television and radio to make sure the news was out.
Souvenirs - Rita (Gill) Tolley (Class of 1965-66) - Searching out and obtaining the best souvenirs to make this a memorable occasion.
Finance - Harry Fischer (Class of 1962) - Canvassing for enough cash to get us started with the mailout.
Secretary - Wendy (Casson) Ensign (Class of 1972) - Keeping the minutes up to date, sending out letters to the service clubs requesting donations, and acknowledging donations received.
Treasurer - Arnold Sucher (Accountant) - And what a fine job of accounting he did for us keeping the ledgers all by hand.
We express our sincere gratitude to all the volunteers who have contributed time and talents toward this successful event. Without everyone’s energy and enthusiasm, an event such as this could not happen. We also acknowledge those who gave initial donations without which we could not have started and with the subsequent donations we were able to add a few extra details to make the event even better. We wish to thank all who replied to the questionnaire. Your memories, anecdotes and stories are priceless.
Our sincere desire is that all will take the time to reminisce, enjoy each others’ company, renew old friendships and make new ones. We have enjoyed being co chairs of this special Millennium event, “Thanks for the Memories”

Jeanene (Pilling) Casson Class of 1966 Co Chair
Charmaine (Karren) Sucher Class of 1952 Co ChairHistorian’s Note:
“...Concerning all acts of initiative, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely COMMITS oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way...” (W. H. Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition)
The COMMITMENTS of Jeanene Pilling-Casson ‘66 and Charmaine Karren-Sucher ‘52 made this event happen!
Starting from “scratch” in October 1999, approximately 100 volunteers searched the globe to establish a name/address data base of about 3600 classmates and staffers. The 1500 questionnaire responses and 120 remembrances/anecdotes statements were keyboarded for booklet publication by 11 “midnight oilers”.
We tried our very best to collect the names and addresses of ALL PBHS staffers and classmates, and to produce accurate booklets. We hope you will be tolerant and recognize our limitations in this endeavor. Where we have fallen short, we assure you that it was not intentional.
Don BecklundPICTURES OF THE PAST
The two most common questions asked by friends and acquaintances, who are not familiar with the local area, of the approximate 4000 students that have attended PBHS from 1926 to 2000 are as follows:
“Where is the Butte?”
“What is Picturesque?”
The local history book, “Coyote Flats Volume II”, offers the following insights:
“The dictionary description of a butte is ‘a conspicuous hill with steep sides and fairly uniform in circumference’. The Indian word for a butte is “ist - sanatshimek - ay’.
In English the translation means ‘that beautiful hill that can be seen from afar’.
Whether the name Picture Butte came from the concept of the beautiful hill or from the rock designs or pictures that the Indians placed near the summit is only conjecture. It is certainly a logical conclusion that in years gone by the Indians in search of buffalo or the cowboys in search of cattle must have used the butte as a lookout on many occasions. However, they would now search in vain for the beautiful hill because it no longer exists. Much of the soil has been used to improve the streets of Picture Butte or the highway leading north of the town.”
For decades, southern Alberta proved a secure home for the Blackfoot as the dark-humped buffalo grazed the plains in great abundance. By the mid 1870s, the buffalo was gone—it, and the meat that was eaten, the clothes that were worn, the hides that were sold, and the homes in which wives and children slept. The constant need by the Canadian fur trade for pemmican, along with the need for buffalo hides and robes by the Missouri River market, accounted in large part for the unsustainable level of harvest that reduced the Canadian herds to nil. Famine was reported everywhere, and in 1876 and 1877 came Treaties 6 and 7, ceding to the Canadian government the whole of Alberta and Saskatchewan south of the North Saskatchewan River. The Blackfoot had to give up their ancestral hunting grounds and move onto reserves.
In the year 1900, men such as Sir Roderick Cameron and the Conrad brothers had major portions of their vast cattle empires located here. Other ranchers were in the area, but their operations were on a much smaller scale. Prairie fires, barbed wire fences and the terrible winter of 1906- 1907 dealt the ranchers staggering cattle losses from which they never fully recovered.
The barbed wire fence made its appearance when the homesteaders began to arrive. Whereas, previously, cattle would drift with a storm, the barbed wire fence prevented them from reaching the shelter afforded by the coulees. Fences also curtailed grazing and in some instances prevented cattle from reaching a water supply.
In the early 1900's, the area was declared open to homesteaders. Families came from Ontario and all parts of the United States. As the homesteaders sod shacks dotted the landscape, the grades one to eight country schools soon followed. Schools opened between 1906 and 1912 included: Huntsville(1906), Barrhill(1908), Turin West(1909), Sundial(1910), Circle(1911), Battersea(1911), Gold Ridge(1912) and Bulmer(1912). The homesteaders were lured by the prospects of land but ended up having to face loneliness, long winters, dust and drought.
Coal mine tipples also broke the prairie expanse at Diamond City, Commerce and
1 .
Shaughnessy. Schools were built at Diamond City in 1908, at Commerce in 1913 and at Shaughnessy(Wallace School) in 1929. Diamond City was the first community in the area to go “on line” with the outside world. In 1910, Alberta Government Telephones inaugurated long distance telephone service to Lethbridge and the rest of the province. Diamond City, with a population of 800 people, became the first incorporated town in the district in 1912.
In the years that followed 1916, rainfall was scant and the area became a dust bowl. The dry land farmers were in desperate straits. The Alberta Government set up studies of their plight, and instituted relief for farmers. Banks were told to stop foreclosures. More was needed to support agriculture and the Government studies emphasized the need for irrigation on the fertile, bench land north of Lethbridge, across the Oldman River. The official sod breaking ceremony for the Lethbridge Northern Irrigation District took place on a June afternoon in 1921. The first full season of operation for the LNID was in 1924 when water flowed to the Coalhurst, Monarch, Diamond City, Shaughnessy, Picture Butte, Barrhill, Iron Springs and Turin areas.
With water in the canals and the completion of the Canadian Pacific rail link from Diamond City to Turin in 1925, a new era began with an influx of settlers from dry areas. Farmers and their families from the drought stricken areas around Medicine Hat, Bow Island and Foremost converged on the district. Many new names were added to the school registers and three new schools opened: Turin Village(1926), Picture Butte(1926) and Granite Falls(1927).
School started in Picture Butte in the spring of 1926 in Koepke’s hall and post office. The twelve students in the first class were housed in a comer of the hall and were separated from the post office by a curtain. The first school, a one room building, was erected behind the present post office. Thirty pupils answered the call of the first bell in the spring of 1927.
Sunshine and blue skies greeted the children when they left for school on December 6, 1927. About 11:00 a.m. the mother/father of all blizzards struck the community. The raging blizzard rendered visibility to about five metres(fifteen feet). Howard Finley arrived at the Picture Butte School with two saddle horses and a long rope. By holding to the rope strung between the two saddle horses, the children traveled less than a block to find safety in Gibbons’ store. The Gibbons family provided food and lodging for twenty one unexpected guests. Some slept on mattresses, some on bed springs and some on the floor.
New settlers continued to pour into the community. In 1928 the high school room was added to the original Picture Butte School building and bulging enrollments required a third classroom to be held in the old pool hall.
By 1930 sugar beets were an established crop in the LNID. Sugar beets posed problems for the individual farmer and necessitated an increase in the farm labour force. This was solved with the arrival of hundreds of east European immigrants who left political oppression and economic hardship to work the sugar beet fields of southern Alberta. Uncertain as to what the future would hold, often the husband emigrated leaving the wife and children in the “old country”. The onset of the “great depression” in 1929 cast a very uncertain future for the immigrants who were already beset by problems of a new language and new customs. Their determination and
2.
perseverance eventually paid off, but it sometimes took five and even 10 years of saving before families were reunited and down payments were made on a piece of land they could call home.
School enrollments continued to swell in the 1930s. Grade twelve was added for the 1933-34 term. In 1935, the two room Picture Butte School was raised about two metres(eight feet) above ground level and then supported at that height by rail ties borrowed from the Canadian Pacific Railway. The area underneath the school was then excavated, a cement foundation was poured and the school now had two additional classrooms and a furnace room in the new basement. Although the basement classrooms helped alleviate some of the crowding, small high school classes were held in any odd nook which could be found-even in the furnace room. On occasion, the furnace room also became a home room.
Offices and board rooms are uninspiring spaces where deals are usually formalized but seldom created. Coffee shops, bars, and games such as poker and golf seem to be far more fertile settings for hatching innovative schemes and motivating people to momentous actions. Maurice Gibbons PBHS ‘34 related the following story which took place in the early 1930s:
“.Tim Pollock, Howard Finley, C. G. Nimmons and my Dad(J. M. Gibbons) were playing bridge on a table in the store(Gibbons’ Store). They had finished hauling beets that were shipped to Raymond for processing. I think it was about the 22nd or 23rd of December. Jim Pollock said, ‘This is no damn good, we should get a factory here’. They called a meeting of the Beet Growers and everybody thought that would be a good idea. They were made a committee. So they went and saw the ‘head honchos’ in Raymond. Well, the crops had been pretty good here so they said they would take it to the head bosses and find out.”
A bridge game conversation sparked the lobbying that made Picture Butte the boom town of southern Alberta in the middle 1930's. The first sod was turned for the sugar factory in May 1935, and the factory was ready for the first campaign in September 1936. At the peak of construction some three hundred men were employed at the factory while some one hundred were working on a new reservoir north of town. When the Picture Butte factory opened it employed seventy-five men on a full-time basis.
A booming economy, thanks to the sugar factory, and centralization of schools brought additional school buildings to Picture Butte in 1936. The rural Circle School and two Becker Lumber office buildings were hauled to the site of the Picture Butte School. The entire district stood behind the new sugar processing industry, but this was definitely not the case for centralization of schools. Excerpts from articles in “Coyote Flats 1905-1965" by Leonard Haney PBHS ‘30 and wife, Velva, provide valuable insights into the feelings surrounding the thorny centralization issue.
“In 1936 the small school districts were centralized under one administration known as ‘The Lethbridge School Division No. 7' which. .. stretched from Carmangay to Warner. R. W. Clow was the first divisional trustee for this vicinity and to him fell the task of closing the small one-room schools, and starting a
3.
system of vans to bring the students together in Iron Springs, Turin, Picture Butte and Barrhill. There was severe criticism by some of the people living in the small districts but this resentment passed with time. ... ” ( Leonard Haney PBHS ‘30)
“Perhaps the centralization of schools, more than any other change that has been necessitated by progress in the last sixty years, has dealt the most distressing blow emotionally to the members of a rural community. ...” ( Velva Haney)
Prior to centralization, most students walked, rode horse, or travelled via a horse drawn-cart, wagon or buggy no more than five miles to their local one room school. With centralization, the distances to the school were often far greater than five miles and so the school bus made its debut in 1936. One of the first school buses was a 1935 Ford half ton complete with a wooden box that was about four feet high. School bus accessories included a plywood roof over the box, a hinged door at the back of the box and seating for ten on two wooden benches inside the box. As block heaters and heated garages were non-existent, when an Arctic front moved in, the bus was left to idle all night to insure that it would run in the morning.
In the early days of centralization, farmers were required to take turns driving the school bus that served their route. Rumor has it that one farmer-driver would drop his passengers at the Picture Butte School in the morning and then spend the balance of the morning and the early afternoon in Shaughnessy. Did the fact that Picture Butte was “dry” and Shaughnessy was “wet” have any bearing on the side trips to Shaughnessy?
In April, 1942, the 22,000 Japanese Canadians living in the coastal area of British Columbia were given three days’ evacuation notice. For 218 families, the Lethbridge Northern Irrigation District was their forced destination. They arrived in a completely unfamiliar province with only the shirts on their backs. In British Columbia, they had been fruit farmers, commercial fishermen, or employed in the pulp industry or canneries. The sugar beet fields were completely new to them. Although they did not have to live in sod shacks like the early homesteaders, the beet labour shacks were a far cry from the comfortable homes they left behind.
Roy Kunimoto PBHS ‘46 was an evacuee to the LNID. The following are his thoughts:
“I arrived At Picture Butte High School in mid November 1942 after the completion of the sugar beet harvest. It was the year our life in B.C. made a traumatic turn when all Canadians of Japanese origin were forced from their homes, and either confined in detention camps or forced to scatter east of the Rockies. All our real and personal property was confiscated and sold off at bargain prices. It was the culmination of years and years of racial slurs, discriminatory actions and prejudice against us which began in the late nineteenth century, and reached its shameful climax during the Second World War.
The foregoing was not to make accusations or to arouse bad memories but rather to briefly show how the unhappy events in our history had molded us to be cautious and apprehensive, wondering how we would be treated. Despite some minor
4.
negative incidents, southern Albertans accepted us into the same race—the human race. Thank you!”
When Picture Butte School opened in September 1942 the classes were “filled to the rafters”. With the recent arrival of the Japanese Canadian families, the school population swelled and accommodation was not available for all that wished to attend. At that point, Mr. Ingwall Sundal donated the present PBHS property to the School Division, and four closed, one-room schools were hauled to the site. In October 1942, the principal and the two high school teachers moved “across the coulee” to the “colony” at the present high school location. From 1942 to 1949, board walks were the connectors between the grade ten building, the grade eleven building, the grade twelve building and the Home Economics/Shop building. In the mid 1940's a fifth closed, one-room school was hauled to the high school yard when grade nine was added to the “colony”.
“The often despised sugar beet, with its back-breaking long hours of work, was instrumental in bringing thousands of families from Europe since the middle twenties .. . The Dutch, although mostly in the post-war movement, have found their place among this number....” (by Bernard Nieboer, “Coyote Flats 1905-1965")
Bernard Nieboer served as an immigration field man for hundreds of Dutch families—a
number with ten to fifteen children—who came to the Iron Springs-Picture Butte area after World War II. Once again, war, oppression and economic hardship had brought people to the sugar beet fields. Once again, school registrations soared.
Planning started in 1947 for a new high school building that would finally provide some proper instructional facilities and help alleviate the severe numbers congestion. The new Picture Butte High building was open for instruction in October 1949. Centralization continued in 1950 with all senior high bused from Huntsville School. PBHS expansion continued with the addition of four class rooms at the west end of the building in 1951. School opening in 1954 included all senior high students from Diamond City. Turin twelves came in 1958, and the tens and elevens followed in 1961. In 1960, all senior high students from Barrhill were transferred to PBHS.

Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)

Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region

Marriage. Family
I was the youngest of ten children. My father passed away in March 1945, 3 weeks after I was born. Up to age 7 I was brought up by an aunt and her husband. In 1952 I was reunited with my birth family. My mother had remarried and planned to immigrate to Canada, which they did with 6 of the youngest children in August of 1954. We ended up living in Dapp, Westlock, Nobleford, Stirling, Lethbridge and Picture Butte. My brother Johnny, two years older than me, along with our step dad (Cornelus Stocker) worked in the sugar beets every spring and fall between 1955 and 1961.
Joanne Tuininga and I married in Neerlandia, AB June 21,1968. We have 5 sons, 4 are married and they collectively have 11 children (8 girls 3 boys, ages 0-18).
Education, training, present employment, employment history
I graduated from Grade 9 (Junior High) in Picture Butte High in June 1961. Had I stayed in PB I would have been in the graduating class of 1964, along with Johnny Brouwer, Bruce Russell and Ken Vincent et al. In Aug. 611 left PB and went by train from Shelby MN to New York City and on the ss "Groote Beer" to Amsterdam. At age 16 I was able to get a job at a Dutch bank because of my proficiency in English and Typing. My Junior High Diploma looked impressive as I had all A’s and an H (honors) in Typing. I spent almost 5 years there, all in HR Foreign Staff Department. Night school became my "second" job for 2-3 nights a week between September and June. I managed to get an Accounting Diploma and Business Administration Certificate.
When I turned 21 on Feb 24 1966, the Bank advised I needed a Law degree before they would send me overseas. The Dutch housing situation was very tight and to get an apartment would take a wife and two children! My father passed away in Holland, and his share of his father's Estate (l/10+h of l/7th) was made available to me on my 21st birthday.John BROUWER

Education, Employment, Future Plans: Before graduating from Picture Butte I went down to the railway station to pick up the film canisters for my Dad’s theatre. I wound up working for the CPR as a relief agent throughout Southern Alberta. Once they started closing down all the stations, I realized I needed more education. I went to SAIT and got a Technical Diploma as a Chemical Research Technologist. When I graduated, I found the wage was considerably less than the railway, and moved out to B.C. to work with the railway. After a couple of years, they too began to close stations, so I returned to Alberta to the University of Alberta, and graduated in 1974 with a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering. I went to work for Dow Chemical in Fort Saskatchewan for 23 years. Then some CEO decided to close most of the plants and a whole bunch of us got retired prematurely. I worked for Colt Engineering as a Consulting Engineer for five years, then with the Alberta Government for 71/2 years when they started picking off all the older guys. I wound up retired again. After 35 years of engineering I decided that was enough, and I retired full time.
Hobbies, Activities, Achievements, Travel, Whatever: Over the years my hobbies have altered with the times. I have built cedar strip canoes, done a lot of gardening, was a handyman to Thelma, and became adept at computers. I spent a lot of time in Scouts, community service, and working at the food bank. I am a life member of the Association of Professional Engineers and received my 14-year pin as a Scout leader. Being retired, my focus has again changed and at present I do water colours, and I am a percussionist with the Cosmos Band in Edmonton.
We did the standard trips to Mexico, cruises, the Holy Land, etc., but now I am battling a cancer called Multiple Myeloma and that keeps me close to home.Kent HAGE

I will be bringing my wife, Sheila King, of Raymond (to the reunion). We have three children and 10 grandchildren aging from 5 to 24 (or so).
After completing a welding apprenticeship at Nobleford, we entered direct sales, which led us to a partnership with Sheila and my mother and father. We moved to Cranbrook and were there for five years. Then, off to Kamloops for a new venture, and after three years, back to Red Deer where we have been since.
Our life has been a whirlwind of different stuff, thanks to my “disorder”, excessive-compulsive, which I consider a gift, not a disorder. This gift has allowed us to do many things in life that normal people would not have likely done. Thanks to my wonderful wife Sheila, she has offered nothing but encouragement, and never stood in the way of a new adventure.
Thankfully, our early years were centered around boating with our family. When our children were young, one summer we went boating nearly every afternoon for the entire summer. Starting when the ice was just far back enough to turn the boat around and going right to first snow. Bizarre, eh? We had a floating raft on the lake that was our summer home. The raft was a gathering place for many friends and Boy Scout overnighters-we even had a firepit.
As the kids grew and developed their own interests, Sheila and I moved to motorcycles, owning a number of different ones over the years, and Sheila and I owned a couple of matching Magnas at one time, logging thousands of miles on many trips around the west.
Then there was a hunting and shooting frenzy-shooting in tournaments around the province, reloading ammo by the thousands and shooting some more. That cycle passed after we had enough coyote furs to have a furrier make Sheila a beautiful coat. The guns and ammo went in the safe, and rarely come out anymore.
Sheila’s brother visited one day and spent the evening telling us about the ultralight airplanes he had seen. His story was so intriguing that the next day we went to Edmonton and bought one. After several crashes we finally learned to fly it, and the cycle progressed and we owned several different models, and have seen about everything there was to see of our area. That phase has passed and we have moved on.
Now we are into music. We hang out with senior citizens, go to “jams” nearly every night, play in an old-time orchestra, and play some more at home. Sheila has taken up bass guitar and is actually playing in the “jams”.
There are lots of “mini obsessions” as well, but this is getting too long, and you can probably tell that my jobs over the years have been the same. It has allowed me to do many different things and almost all of them have been quite successful, but the desire to change eventually wins.
I value all of your old friendships, and love these get-togethers where we tell the same old stories that never get tiresome. I am very thankful to have grown up in the 50s and 60s (I shouldn’t really say “grown up”, because I don’t plan to) and often reminisce about those carefree days in Iron Springs.Edith (HANSEN) Hardy

Marriage, Family: I married Reid L. Hardy from Stirling, Alberta. We will have been married 45 years in April. We have four living children--one girl and three boys, and a son who was born prematurely and lived only a day. An interesting fact to note is that my birthday is on October 31st and I had my son Mark on my birthday in 1967, and then my daugher Dawna on October 31st, 1969. My deceased son was born on February 7th, 1971 and then I had Paul on February 7th, 1972.
Education, Employment, Future Plans: After graduating from Winston Churchill High School in Lethbridge, I attended the Lethbridge Jr. College and received a certificate in a Medical, Dental, Legal course and worked as a legal secretary in Lethbridge. My husband and I started out in Calgary where he worked as an auditor for the Provincial Government, and then transferred to Edmonton. I continued to work as a legal secretary in Calgary and Edmonton until my son was born. In 1971 we moved to Delta, B.C. and have lived in Chilliwack for the past nine years. We love living in the smaller community and often go for motorcycle rides through the country and pass by the small farms. We enjoy our close proximity to the mountains and to Cultus Lake and Harrison Lake. My husband has been retired for five years and we enjoy the slower pace.
Hobbies, Activities, Achievements, Travel, Whatever: I enjoy flower arranging and for a few years worked part-time at a florist shop in Delta and now belong to the Chilliwack Floral Arts Club. I enjoy doing crafts, making cards, and other paper crafts. We enjoy walking for an hour, five days a week with friends.
I was able to travel with my husband on business trips to Japan for their Expo and to several countries in Europe on a Ports Convention, We hope to go to Hawaii and New Zealand in the future. We enjoy spending time with our children and grandchildren. For the past 40 years, we have traveled out to Alberta to visit our family at least once a year, and are drawn to the open spaces. I have fond memories of growing up on the farm and of good friends.Pat (JENSEN) Bodnar

Dependence of stimulated scattering in semiconductor microcavities on pump power, angle, and energy
No full textThe dependence of stimulated polariton-polariton scattering in InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs microcavities on pump power, angle, and energy is investigated. We show that contrary to much previous belief there is no “magic angle” for stimulated scattering under continuous-wave conditions, the process being shown to be a rather general phenomenon, occurring over a wide range of pump angles. Close analogies with optical parametric oscillator behavior are found, but also aspects which can only be explained by inclusion of the polariton nature of the quasiparticles. The first physical explanation of why the optical parametric oscillator picture leads to the observed square root dependence of signal power on laser intensity is provided. The asymmetric nature of the tuning curve for excitation of the stimulated scattering process is explained in the framework of the renormalization of the lower polariton branch

Friends:
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the mny people who
helped in the production of Tributeen 1974. I extend my thanks to
Mr. Jensen, Mr. Harris and the Visual Communications classes who
developed many of the candids in this yearbook; to Eddie Bader and
Donna Mehalko for the wonderful art work contributed; and especially
to Mr. Ellefson for his time and assistance throughout the year and
to my yearbook staff without whom this yearbook would not have been
possible. These people all put in a lot of extra hours to complete
this book.
The time it took to complete this yearbook has been well worth
it. A lot of hard work has been involved in creating Tributeen 1974
but the staff also had a lot of fun in doing it. The yearbook staff
of 1974 are very pleased with the finished product for it gives us a
feeling of satisfaction in knowing that we have contributed to the
school.
Essentially, this yearbook has been produced to provide you, the
Staff and Students of PBHS, with a permanent record of the activities
and events—and, most significantly, the people—that made the 1973-
74 school year unique from any other.
In closing:
This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this
day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for some
good purpose. But what I do with this day is important
because I have exchanged a day of my life for it. When
tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. I hope I will
not regret the price I paid for it.

In September, 196S Picture Butte
High School became a complete junior-senior
high school serving the communities
of Turin, Iron Springs, Bar-hill,
Shaughnessy, Diamond City and
Picture Butte. The graduating class
of the 1973-74 school year is to a
large extent the Picture Butte High
School grade seven class of 1963-69.
In that respect it is an unique class.
It is a unioue graduating class
in other ways. They represent the
last group of students to write the
Grade 9 departmental examinations.
They are also the first group of students
in this school who were not required
to write Grade 12 departmental
examinations.
The choice of "Desiderata” or
"Child of the Universe" as the theme
for their graduation exercise does
much to reveal the character of this
particular class.
"Be yourself. Especi lly,
do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about
love; for in the face of
all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as
the grass."
Probably no other graduating
class made such a conscious effort
at being itself. Probably no other
graduating class was as quick to
claim for itself the freedoms of
today’s society. And probably no
other graduating class was as anxious
to proclaim an independence of
tradition and regulation.
The future is the test. Will
this class "take kindly the counsel
of the years, gracefully surrendering
the things of youth"?

Congratulations to the 1974 Grads of P.B.H.S.
Remember: ’’You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars; you have
a right to be here. Strive to be happy.”
I wish for you
A little laughter when the day is done
A little carefree, self-forgetting fun,
A little too, of music just to charm
the hours away,
And jesting, once-a-while to make you gay,
A little labor, and a little play—
I wish for you.

Another school year has come and
gone. To some of us, this means the
end of school and teachers, time to
start seeking our fortunes, to others
it means the beginning of high school
education, and for the rest of us it
is time to move on in more specialized
fields.
No matter what it means, it has
been a great year for the students
of P.B.H.S. Although the activities
of the student council were not always
successful, we feel we learned
from our mistakes, and were pleased
with our success.
The members of the council would
like to thank Mr. Becklund and
Mr. Gibbons for their time and effort
that greatly helped the council to
succeed. The council should also be
congratulated for their tremendous
effort put behind every project. It
has been a great year and we wish
next year’s council best of luck.
On behalf of the 1973/74 Senior
Students Council, we would like to
thank the students for allowing us
to play 3 part in the future of

ADVISOR: Mr. Luyten.
MISSING: Anita Juhar.
Our 1973-74 Junior High Students
Council terra has been fairly successful
despite the lack of interest, co-operation,
and ideas from the students involved.
We had to rely on our own imagination
in activities since we could
no longer depend on the Senior Council
for ideas.
Our outstanding accomplishment was
the magazine sales campaign. Over $2000.
was raised and a percentage of this money
was donated to the performing arts class.
We also donated money towards the Sports
Council and Band Committee.
The attendance of all activities
was good. Some of these activities were
dances, dress-up days, and the Grade 7
initiation day.
Last of all I would like to thank
Mr. Luyten,the staff advisor, for helping
us out.

GRAD 74
1974 VALEDICTORY ADDRESS
- Douglas Hanna
May 24, 1974
Ladies and gentlemen;
What is Graduation?
Graduation is
sighs and laughter,
Mingled liberally
with tears,
Lingering memories
of one’s sharing life
with classmates, through
the years.
Graduation is an end,
but also a beginning,
The start of all the dreams,
that every graduate
is spinning.
Graduation is truly a time of
mixed emotion—for the excitement
and happiness we feel, are edged
by sadness; we feel gratitude for
the past and present, and look to
the future, not only with anticipation,
but a good deal of apprehension
as well.
I’m sure we’ve all felt the
excitement escalate as we planned
and prepared for this evening’s
activities.
One should feel happy and proud
—this occasion being the culmination
of 12 years of education successfully
completed.
There are many people to whom
we should be grateful—for without
their help this would not have been
possible.
Indeed, out parents deserve
our thanks for showing love and concern;
for their constant help and
encouragement.'
We also feel gratitude to our
teachers for their part in helping
us develop our characters, and
their painstaking efforts in helping
us attain the knowledge required to
have achieved this goal.
Sadness is apparent, not only
because the valued associations
that we have made will be changing,
but this brings to an end a rather
enjoyable and secure time in our lives.
Apprehension creeps in as we
realize that Graduation is not
only an end, but also a beginning.
It is the end of this comparatively
comfortable time of life,
but also a time of beginning, as
we look with anticipation at the
world we are going into. There
are so many choices to make, so
many directions to go, so many
challenging and interesting vocations
to choose from.
The last few years have brought
the universe so much closer and more
understandable—and this because of
man’s thirst of knowledge. From the
words of our theme song—
’’Enjoy your achievements as well
as your plans. Keep interested in
your own career, however humble,
it is a real posession in the change-ing
fortunes of time. You are a
child of the Universe,—no less than
the trees and the stars, you have a
right to be here,...and whether or not
it is clear to you, no doubt the universe
is unfolding as it should.”
Whatever path we choose, or road
we take, I sincerely hope it will be
paved with success.
Success is not in getting rich,
or rising high to fame.
It’s not alone in winning goals,
which all men hope to claim.
Success is being big of heart,
and clean, and broad of mind;
It’s being faithful to your friends,
and to the stranger, kind.
I would especially like to thank
you, fellow graduands, for giving me
the honour of representing you tonight,
but moreso for the friendships gained,
and may they continue to be a valued
part of our lives.
Remember-----Today is the first day
of the rest of your life.
Theme: Child of the Universe
