Hello Rebels Family!
It's easy to believe that the rich and famous are born well...rich and famous. Not so! On the
way to being famous...Gwen Stefani worked at Dairy Queen, Madonna was fired from Dunkin'
Donuts, Brad Pitt handed out flyers wearing a chicken suit for El Polio Loco, Rachel McAdams
was a server at McDonald's and Beyonce was swept up hair in her mother's salon. There are
jobs you will have before you 'make it' too. Some you will enjoy. And some - not so much.
On my way to becoming a teacher I was a waiter, a landscaper, a tree planter, and a
bartender. Some of these jobs I liked and some I hated. But ALL of these jobs brought me to
the profession I love and shaped who I have become.
At W.R. Myers High School we are proud of being a school where every student can find an
avenue for success and in being part of a community where everyone in the Rebel family
strives to find the best in themselves and others. As Christian Larson said, "Believe in yourself
and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."
Remember that you are the star of your own life and that, with hard work, your dreams will become reality!
Take care,
Ken Pon
Principal
Wow! What a year! I chose "REBEL RESILIENCE" as the yearbook theme this year as I thought it was rather fitting given our
current 'COVID-1 9' situation. Some of you are already VERY RESILIENT, while others may feel like you are not. One thing is
for sure - you can always WORK on becoming MORE resilient.
Here are 10 ways you can work on becoming more resilient:
Have the courage to be imperfect
Take time for yourself
Sign up for that course, join that club
Be active every day in as many ways as you can
Spend time with people who make you feel good
Laugh out loud each day
Invite your neighbor (friend) over for a cup of tea (chat)
Do one thing now that you've been putting off
Focus more on things you can control
Remember, this too shall pass (~https://wayahead.org.au/get-the-facts/building-resilience/)
Thank you to all those who gave me a big smile (or at least didn't run away) when I put the camera in front of your face! I
apologize to those teams I missed getting photos of (that actually had the opportunity to play). Because this year is unlike any
other, I also decided to change up the color scheme from the traditional red/black/yellow! I would love some feedback on
this decision (love it/dislike it etc).
A huge shout-out to a stellar group of grade 9's who helped me with the yearbook in June (Madisen and Bryden O'Connor,
Kiernan Gyepesi, Will Evanson, Madison Reid, Heston Bevans and Allen Clements). Thank you specifically to Bryden O'Connor
for creating the color graphic used throughout the yearbook.
Some of the quotes found through out the yearbook were from the survey you filled out in the spring, which in, most cases,
does not have the author information and therefore simply states the grade level the quote came from. All other quotes with
Author Unknown" were found online and in most cases didn't have any author information either. In any case, my hope is
that they will either put a smile on your face, make you go 'hmm' or possibly even take time to pause and reflect on the
message being shared. Enjoy! 5

A Message ■
from ou„r awth^lOtiC DiPOCtO
It was a sad reality that we all had to face this year with little to no athletic
competitions across the Province for High School Sport. But very thankfully, and
in true Rebel Spirit, we made the most of the situation and were able to organize
and provide our student-athletes with a few opportunities to participate in sport.
The Rebels made teams and practiced as much as they possibly could in football,
volleyball, cross-country, golf, basketball, and curling. Unfortunately, a few of our
traditional sports were not able to get off the ground in the Spring, but hopefully
that will only fuel the fire of the up and coming athletes for next season! We want
to give a big thanks to all those student-athletes and coaches who committed to
one or more of our teams during these tough, unprecedented circumstances, and
a special shout out to all the Grade 1 2 student-athletes for all of their years of
dedication to High School Sport!

businesses and families. Our community has donated 16 885 this year!

The W.R. Myers Concert and
Stage Bands were unable to
perform this year due to COVID,
but we were lucky enough to still
be able to play our instruments.
Vince Gassi, a composer from
Toronto, was commissioned by
the W.R. Myers Band Parent
Association to write a piece for
the Concert Band. The band
students met with Mr. Gassi via
Zoom in October to talk to him
about the piece and the writing
process. He completed the piece
for us in January and we began
working on it. Again the band
students met with Mr. Gassi on
Zoom for him to listen to us play
and give feedback. But
unfortunately due to the COVID
restrictions, we were unable to
premier the piece. Hopefully,
next year we will be able to play

Alberta) all of which have many diverse interests, perspectives, and backgrounds. Students get the opportunity to share their perspectives on many different
topics in education. Over the last couple of years students on this council have worked with the Alberta Government Education Department, MLA's,
industry professionals, teachers and school boards to help better education in out province. Specifically, these students helped inform a vaping policy from
Edmonton Public Schools, assisted in the creation of Bill 1 9 which aims to reduce vaping use in Alberta and helped shape the Ministerial Order on Student
Learning.

Sayge Turcato was in the Alberta
High School Rodeo Provincials
Finals at the beginning of June
she went into the finals as the
season leader in the Barrel
Racing and she was 8th in
District 1 for the Breakaway
Roping with a few go round wins
she ended up winning the
Alberta Finals in the Barrel
Racing and placing 4th in the
Breakaway. That qualified Sayge
to go to the National High School
Rodeo Finals 2021 in Lincoln,
Nebraska.
Way to go Sayge!!
Kayce Liptak has also had a great showing this year
so far. She placed 2nd at Provincials, just behind
Sayce Turcato. This meant that she also qualified to
go to the National High School Rodeo Finals 2021
in Lincoln, Nebraska.

SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill was born on Nov. 30, 1874 in Blemheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. He became one of the greatest statesmen in world history. Churchill reached the height of his fame as the heroic prime minister of Great Britain during World War II. Churchill was also a noted speaker, author, painter, soldier, and war reporter.
Sir Winston Churchill's personal courage, the magic of his words, and his faith in victory inspired the British to "their finest hour. " The mere sight of this stocky, determined man - a cigar in his mouth and two fingers raised high in a "V for victory" salute - cheered the people.
Churchill not only made history, he also wrote it. As a historian, war reporter, and biographer, he showed a matchless command of the English language. In 1953, he won the Nobel prize for literature.
Churchill entered the service of his country in 1895 as an army lieutenant under Queen Victoria. He ended his career in 1964 as a member of the House of Commons under Queen Elizabeth II, the great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Few men ever served their country so long or so well.

Dear Students:
At the time of writing two days have elapsed since the announcement of my resignation from the staff of the
Taber School Division. In a few weeks time I shall be entering the Provincial Superintendency and leaving
Taber for what is still an unknown destination.
Wherever we go we shall consider ourselves extremely fortunate to find a home as happy as the one we are
leaving, to find a community as friendly as Taber, and to find schools developing as rapidly as W.R. Myers.
During the two years I have been here I have often heard remarks to the effect that big schools like ours lose
the personal touch of smaller centres and therefore are bound to have a lesser degree of success. But you know,
this is nonsense. Of course we cannot get to know one another as well as in much smaller schools, but this is a
minor disadvantage when compared to the many great advantages our school offers its students and its teachers.
What are these advantages? First there’s the quality of the teaching. Most teachers prefer to specialize and
in our school they can do this. Secondly there is the question of physical plant and equipment. How far
superior are our facilities than those of smaller centres! Thirdly there is the matter of the wide and varied programme.
Only in the major cities can students have a more varied programme than ours, and this means that
practically every student obtains a grade XII diploma in one subject field or another. There can be no doubt
whatever that the students at W. R. Myers have greater opportunity and greater chance of success than any students
in smaller schools, and each year the opportunities and the possibilities of success are increased.
Next year Mr. George will take over the principalship. I know he will do a fine job and I know the staff and
students will give him every support. I wish him every success and I know that he will find, as I have, a great
deal of personal satisfaction in guiding W. R. Myers on its road to becoming a bigger and better school.
I have one final word of advice to all. It is time to stop talking about the problems we have had, the lack
of spirit we once showed, the poor morale we used to display. Those days are gone for Myers. The future is
brighter and more promising than ever before. We must think positively and the ghosts of problems-past will no
longer haunt us.
Good-bye and good fortune to all.

At the time of writing this message a chemistry club is being formed at W. R. Myers High School, and the
whole of the North American continent is mourning the needless death in Alabama of a Boston clergyman.
h
You may be wondering who two obviously unrelated events have apparently been linked together. If your c
curiosity has been roused then read on. You may yet see that there is, in fact, a connection. tl
o
The study of chemistry is full of many fascinations. Chemicals are wonderful things. They fuel our engines sc
clothe our backs, improve our farms, and fight our diseases. You name it—chemicals do it! Chemicals are all
around you----- in fact chemicals ARE you. Your origins were two cells made of chemicals arranged variously
into patterns called genes and chromosomes. You had no say in how these patterns were formed, neither could w
your parents control them; yet in an instant of time they decided whether you would be short or tall, stout or thin,
blue-eyed or brown-eyed, of high intelligence or not so high, white-skinned or black-skinned.
It would be very strange if the tall people in W. R. Myers school dissociated themselves from the short people
or the blue-eyed from the brown-eyed. It would be made disturbing if the suggestion was ever made that one
group was worthier than the other. This would be generic prejudice, the product of ignorance.
It is easy for us in Canada to malign our southern neighbours for such behavior, but we must not forget that behind the gene of skin colour are many differences of culture, established and perpetuated by generations. Recognizing this, it would be foolish to allow a new cult to develop in our own midst—the cult of intelligence, based as it is on similar chemical factors.
Teachers have been criticized for placing too much importance on intelligence, but other public groups are more to blame. A world wide club exists membership of which is open to persons of very high I. Q. only; parents have been known to regard high I.Q. 's in their children as the latest status symbol; and, alas, some students in our own school, who see themselves as "smarter,” have adopted lordly attitudes over their classmates. Such self- glorification must surely breed prejudice.
It is high time that the whole question of intelligence and worth be viewed in clearer perspective. Intelligence alone will not guarantee a free pass to a worthwhile life.
There is the story of the student who was smart enough of mind to realize that by acting stupidly he would not be expected to produce at school. It was only after he "dropped-out" that he realized that undisciplined smartness produced little more than unemployment.
Real smartness is knowing our own capabilities and working towards their realization. This smartness of personality is the key to the worthy life; it is not an accident of birth, but the sum total of every word we have ever heard, sight we have ever seen, and thought that has ever crossed our mind. It is something which develops continuously through life, and which is nurtured by good habits especially during the formative early years.
Here we find the main reason for the existence of schools and compulsory education: to make available to all the benefits of a stimulating environment where personalities can develop.
With the right personality behind it there will be a satisfying place in the world for any ability be it low or high. Let us "look to the ant” as Socrates advised his students thousands of years ago. Man will always be more capable than ants, but we can gain by studying the selfless purposefulness in their every activity which allows them to perform amazing feats, for the benefit of the whole colony. Ants are never idle, but faithfully carry out their assigned tasks according to their various specializations. Not all can be queens; some are soldiers; some are workers; but all are worthy because they know their purpose and dedicate themselves to its achievement.
School can help you to know yourselves and to appreciate others, to identify yourselves with realistic and worthwhile goals, and to strive for these goals to your own satisfaction and for the good of your total society.

Madame Chairman, honored guests, parents, and fellow students:
Graduation is a word that has several connotations or meanings. Each person
thinks of graduation in different terms. To the student, graduation is a time of
celebration, now that he is truly on his own in the adult world. He is also apprehensive
of the future, not knowing what lies ahead. The parents are proud--
proud that their child, who started school only yesterday (so it seems), has
achieved this momentous step in his life. With this proudness, the parents feel a
little remorse and have a few misgivings about their child now having the chance
to make his own in life. Teachers are happy at graduation--happy that we students finally made it out of Grade
Twelve.
The twelve years of schooling before graduation have been compared to the climbing of a previously unconquered
mountain, to the arduous plight of a small boat which eventually reaches harbor after being caught in
a storm at sea, and to the journey of an explorer, who, following years of diligent search, finally attains his
goal. Graduation is all these and more. Each graduate has a different concept of graduation. But they all have
one thing in common; namely, each encountered snares and pitfalls as he struggled toward his goal--graduation.
Tonight marks the leaving of a familiar way of life and heralds the beginning of a new way of life. During
the first years of our lives, our teachers and parents have bravely attempted to instill some knowledge in us, the
students. They realized the importance of our school years, for upon them depends the future. We students ofte
fail to realize this until it is too late. Graduation is only the first small hill in a range of goals, tasks, and
achievements. The hills will become mountains with steeper slopes and wider precipices. But these obstacles ol
the adult world need not be feared; we have only to apply the skills of learning and reasoning garnered in the pas
twelve years to find a solution to these problems.
Not every oneofuswillbean Einstein or a Rockefeller, but we graduates must endeavour to make somethin!
of ourselves according to our individual abilities. Never has a generation had so much to look forward to, to
anticipate. These anticipations will only be realized if we, tomorrow's society, make it so. Herein lies our
responsibility to man and to God. We may fail in fulfilling some of our goals and responsibilities. But the
values of life should not be measured by material success. If we have done our best in an honest and truthful
manner, we need not be ashamed of our failures.
Tomorrow we take our place in the world where we must either learn and work by ourselves or fail. Life is
now our school; may it be as happy and rewarding an experience as our school years have been.

^ardxtcll—
The pupils and teachers of W.R. Myers High School were very distressed recently, to learn
of Mr. Jepson's departure from Taber at the end of the present school term. In the two years
that Mr. Jepson was with us, he advanced the status and well-being of pupils and teachers alike.
His wise counsel, sound judgment, keen insight and delightful sense of humor instilled a sense
of confidence and purpose in the entire school. Never was morale as high as during his
principalship!
Mr. Jepson came to us from Cold Lake, Alberta where he was vice-principal and principal
for five years. He took most of his schooling in Manchester, England which accounts for most
of his old world charm. He is quite fluent in French and Spanish among many other personal
accomplishments. It is with a sincere sense of loss that we wish Mr. and Mrs. Jepson happiness
and success in the former's new position as Superintendent with the Department of Education.
