    An interview in five sessions, January through June, 1997, with Ronald W. P. Drever, professor of physics (now emeritus) in the Division of Physics, Mathematics, and Astronomy. Dr. Drever graduated with first honors from the University of Glasgow in 1953 and received his PhD there in 1958. He moved from Glasgow to Caltech in 1977 to help establish the gravitational-wave project later known as LIGO (Laser Interferometry Gravitational-Wave Observatory)—first as a visiting associate, then a half-time professor (1979-1984), becoming full-time in 1984. He discusses his postdoctoral work at Glasgow on the anisotropy of inertia; a fellowship at Harvard with R. V. Pound measuring gravitational redshift; and collaboration with John Jelley of Harwell looking for radio and light pulses from supernovae and the Crab pulsar. Recalls his interest in Joseph Weber’s experiments to detect gravitational waves and his own bar-detector work at Glasgow; his switch to interferometers; his “friendly rivalry” with the gravitational-wave group at the Max Planck Institute in Munich; his adaptation of Fabry-Perot cavities vs. the delay-line technique of MIT’s Rainer Weiss. Recalls his collaboration with John Hall, of JILA, in Boulder, CO. Discusses his recruitment to Caltech by Kip S. Thorne; designing Caltech’s 40-meter prototype interferometer; his various innovations; his disagreements with Weiss, Thorne, and particularly Robbie [Rochus E.] Vogt, LIGO director 1987-1994; his July 1992 dismissal from LIGO; his grievance hearing before Caltech’s Academic Freedom & Tenure Committee, and its eventual outcome. The interview concludes with comments on his current research and on the prospects for LIGO and allied gravity-wave projects

    A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1

    No full text
    Spectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

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.

Oddie Mr. C. Rushford ttCUltu principal’s pcttcr 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. Mr. A. Baker Mr. W. Terriff Mr. H. Jepson Senior Mr. J. C. Bailey Miss H. Betner Mr. M. C. P. Thomas Mr. J. Mahnic Miss J. Evanson Mr. F. Semaka ^^h Mr. R.

Small rs F e c "^Cook to tip (Ant!” a 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.

S. ^akdktorg ^Message 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. Ron Friesen Valedictorian ^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.

    Planar-Waveguide External Cavity Laser Stabilization for an Optical Link with 1E-19 Frequency Stability

    No full text
    We stabilized the frequency of a compact planar-waveguide external cavity laser (ECL) on a Fabry-P\'erot cavity (FPC) through a Pound-Drever-Hall scheme. The residual frequency stability of the ECL is 1E-14, comparable to the stability achievable with a fiber laser (FL) locked to a FPC through the same scheme. We set up an optical link of 100 km, based on fiber spools, that reaches 1E-19 relative stability, and we show that its performances using the ECL or FL are comparable. Thus ECLs could serve as an excellent replacement for FLs in optical links where cost-effectiveness and robustness are important consideration

Johnson Inspector of High Schools of Southern Alberta Canadian Western Natural Gas Company Limited Mr. Neil Purvis Superintendent of Taber School Division 6 Principal's Message Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp. Or what’s heaven for? - Robert Browning Most of us when confronted with the question of what the major purpose in life is would have a somewhat hazy notion such as ’pursuit of happiness’, or ’do good for others.’ But the most thoughtful of the world's great philosophers are generally agreed that the ultimate purpose of life is to achieve perfection, and indeed this is the central tenet of the Christian belief. Too often we lose sight of this goal of life and are overwhelmed by petty problems and pursue short range goals. We are overly concerned with sensual pleasures and attempt to satify and gratify every whim of our animal nature. We forget that as men we are possessed of a rational mind and have implanted within us this urge to perfection. It is true that while on this earth we can never achieve perfection. But this is not reason to cease striving for this shining goal. And how do we go about trying to reach an impossible goal like perfection? A. D. Selinger Principal Taber High School Discipline. And not necessarily that discipline which is imposed from withoutourselves. That type of discipline is necessary and teaches us how to discipline ourselves, and is, furthermore absolutely essential to control the behavior of those who can't or won't impose restrictions on themselves. The true measure of a man is to be found in his ability to discipline himself. He must be ready and able to control his thoughts, actions, and emotions at all times and in all situations. When he fails to do so he has succumbed to his animal nature and is just a little less a man. Let us examine a brief example. A student is subject to many temptations. He wants to stand on a corner and watch the girls go by, or shoot a game of pool, or own and operate his own automobile, or get a job and earn his own money so he will not be dependent on his parents and can therefore be free of the restrictions imposed on him0 The urge to study and improve his intellect and moral fibre is all too often weak, and yet it is by his determination to do so that a student will benefit himself and grow into adult manhood. How well a student is able to resist temptation to work toward short range objectives and instead apply himself to the pursuit of perfection will determine not only his own future and its fulfillment, but also affect the course of the lives of people with whom he comes in contact. As Browning states in the quotation above, set your sights high. Success - the real success which is the fulfillment of man's purpose in life - is yours if you have the determination and will to achieve. 7 A. G . Johnstone, B.A., M.A. French P. G.

The preciousness of this experience can never be evaluated. It is hoped that the future executives will profit from the accomplishments of this year's executive. May I extend sincere congratulations to the Graduat­ing Class. Good fortune go with you. Assume your responsi­bilities as conscientious citizens of Canada. "Conjunctum Possumus": "Together We Can". Let our motto remain with all not to remind us of the joyous times at T. H.S., but to show us the way to become better members of the community and, above all, better citizens of Canada.

It is the last year for many of us, but for others it is just the continuency of an important phase of life. This phase is one in which, to a great extent, much of your future is being shaped. To those who are just beginning their High School career I would like to give you a word of advice: work diligently with your studies at all times and work also at improving your own personality. Above all, keep on adding to your store of knowledge from all the opportunities that are available from your teachers and your school curriculum. To the Graduates, who are now leaving their old Alma Mater, I wish to say that I hope you do feel some regrets at your departure. But I also hope that you are able to look ahead to your future with eagerness and hope at the new life to come. This is my last year at T.H.S. , and because of this I would like to make a plea for my school. I hope that the new students coming up will do much to give Taber High School a better school spirit. For it is with things such as this that we are able to help build a better community and later a greater nation. In closing, I wish to express my sincere thanks to all those people who devoted their time in preparing this 1959 edition of the DAWN for publication.

Ever since I knew what school was, I have been looking forward to this day as have most of the graduates, but now that it is here, it hardly seems possible. The years spent preparing us for this seem to have flown by incredibly fast. However, memories creep in of things which have gone before. Lucille McKay How clearly that first day of school at Central in 1947 complete with its terror, excitement and wonder can be recalled. Then came a series of years which were filled with learning and old and new friends. Who can ever forget our festival and track meet activities with all their fun? Vivid memories of our teachers in the elementary grades can be recalled, together with our various moves from the Central School to the little schools back of it. With our entrance into Junior High School we not only met new subjects but new experiences also. In these grades we were given our first taste of student government and our potential leaders began to come forth and show their colors. Our final year in junior high Grade IX, marked with another significant event - our entrance into Taber High School. Not many will be able to forget initiation with all its sore knees, lipstick smudges, outlandish costumes and the other necessary evils associated with the occasion. Departmentals loomed oppressively that year and seemed to present an almost insurmountable barrier. But this also proved conquerable and we entered a new era of our schooling, for we are now in High School. In Grade X our numbers were augmented by the arrival of Barnwell and Cranford students. This advent led to the making of many new friendships. The talents displayed by members of the class of '59 have been varied. We are able to boast three members of the student executive this year. Some people have received considerable recognition in the fields of music, art, drama, scholastic pursuits, and athletics as well as leadership in the school. The "might-have-been" which tempers our joy and pride in the class of '59 is the memory of classmates who have dropped out along the way to seek employment or have become early casualties of Cupid's Arrow. But the rest of us - our years of public school efforts almost complete - pause to remember and can think only of many happy days spent together. A maze of memories crops up along with a sense of achievement and a hope that we will prove ourselves to be worthy of T.H.S. as we venture forth into a new life. Soon we must physically bid farewell to the school and to many of our friends, but it is only a physical farewell. We will never be able to bid adieu to our fond T.H.S. memories. ------- Lucille McKay 14 BURNELL BENNETT A pleasant face and a happy smile is with Burnell all the whiIe.

I asked the foreman, "Are these men skilled, The men you would hire if you had to build?" He gave me a laugh and said, "No, indeed .' Just common labor is all I need. I can easily wreck in a day or two, What builders have taken a year to do. " I thought to myself as I went my way, Which of these roles have I tried to play? Am I a builder who works with care, Measuring life by the rule and square? Am I shaping my deeds to a well-made plan, Patiently doing the best I can? Or am I a wrecker, who walks the town Content with the labor of tearing down? Author unknown. 20 Graduation Speaker At this time I banquet. It was an why I enjoyed it so would like to express my thanks for the invitation to the excellent dinner and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The reason much might be made evident from this story: A certain man was asked to deliver a speech to his club. The night of his speech his wife asked him to sit down and eat some of the delicious dinner which she had prepared. But he refused to eat because he felt he wouldn't be able to give his talk very well on a full stomach, so his wife's efforts were wasted. He went to deliver his speech. On his return home, his wife asked him, "Was it a good speech?" He replied, "I should have ate." MR. NEIL PURVIS However, I always enjoy an opportunity to speak, especially since it is the last opportunity for me here. Tonight, my talk will deal with three main ideas - your self as an individual, as a community man, and as a world citizen. Yourself: Are you ready to assume responsibilities? Do you have trouble remembering? Do you have days when nothing goes right? Do you do things which you know aren't right? Do you have pet fears, such as snakes? Do you make the same mistakes more than once? Do you decide to dislike people a^first sight? If your answer to all or most of these questions is yes, then you are normal. This is because the human body is very complicated. Nothing man has produced is as complicated as man himself, and no two men are alike. We all live under different environments and difficulties. An European child raised at the time of the Second World War certainly had different problems than an American child. If this is so, then it is no wonder that we react differently. Elizabeth Ferguson VanHeath in 'So Speak' stated, "Sixteen years ago my small son paid for the ignorance of some man. My reaction produced terrible results on my physical health, because of destructive thought. I thought only of my loss, which is destructive thought material. The only reason I survived was because of my ancestral blood. Thank God for good ancestral pioneers. Their gift was - "hang on and refuse to be defeated." It saved her. Therefore, our thoughts are tremendously important, so you should develop the ability to think right. Some suggestions to help you are: Cultivate the ability to listen to people and hear them. This is in itself a worthwhile effort. Carry your weight. Share the manual labor. Take your share of conversation. Take extra time to think of good ideas for improvement. Make timeliness one of your virtues. Don't lose your sense of humour. Laugh with people, not at them. In preparation for the world of work, do you know what your abilities are? Have you thought about it? If so then your success is better than half assured, because you're interested, able and prepared. Then become proficient, There is no room nowadays for a man with no training. Be able to do things well and better and know why. You are not only graduating from Taber High School, You are now world citizens. Independence - we don't understand this presently. Everything that happens to us affects us and therefore we really aren't independent. It is too late to try and ignore this and feel ourselves superior. That era is past. You can make your own heaven or your own hell with the same blocks. 21 Valedictory Ruth Kadonaga Graduation 1 It's an event to which we have looked forward since we first heard about it. At that time it seemed ages away, but now we are wondering how the time passed by so quickly. Some of us may even wonder if we are ready for it, but, at. any rate, it makes us stop and reflect To many of us, graduation means the end — the end of a way of life which has been our life for the past twelve or thirteen years. To others, it means a beginning — a beginning of a new life in which we become true citizens of our community. Graduation is son end and it is a beginning. It means an end to a period of formal education which has lasted a dozen years. It is with sadness that we close this chapter of our lives, for it is always difficult to leave something which has meant so much to us. When we bid farewell to our school and to each other, we remember with gratitude, our teachers, those wonderful, hard working people whc expended so much time and energy for our welfare----those unselfish human beings who will always be ready to lend a hand and to help us, and tall we need do is ask. There are two other people to whom we owe so much. Our parents, who have guided us through these years of our development with love and encouragement, deserve our heartfelt thanks. Without them, think where we would be today. Certainly not here. Of course, we owe a great deal to our teachers and parents, but we too deserve a little credit for having reached our present day lofty status. But rather than dwell on our merits and past achievements, we should consider our future responsibi I ities and obligations. We have, of course, the responsibility to ourselves, but more than that, we have a responsibility to our community. As citizens of our community, we must, each one of us, take our share of the load and do our best >at all times in order to make our community an even better place in which to live. We will meet many problems which will seem insurmountable, but if during these last years, we have done a good and thorough job of preparing ourselves for the future, we will find great pleasure in feeing able to solve these problems. We have been afforded the best of opportunities by our school, our teachers, and our parents to develop in ourselves those qualities which will always stand us in good stead and we offer them our humble and grateful thanks and hope we will never give them reason to be disappointed with us. In closing, I'd like to leave you graduates with this wish may bad fortune follow you all your days and never catch up with you.” Ruth Kadonaga 22 Moments to Remember One evening in May a handsome boy called for a lovely girl. They went to a banquet which was given for them and for many others. After enjoying their delicious dinner, and hearing speeches from Teachers and Students, 23 24 Class Prophecy 1959 GRADUATING CLASS Jim Bodie exams were over, I went home and decided to catch up on twelve years lost Hidn'^wake up until the year 2000 A.D., and, after having something to eat, I'decided to find out what happened to the '59 graduating class. What I found was amazing. |n 1981 Professors Ruth Kadonaga and Alice Kurina crossed a plum tree with a cactus to get a bush that would grow dried prunes. Eddie Uyesugi joined the N. H. L. in 1964 and became head of the department in charge of taping hockey sticks. Lloyse Henderson received a Doctor of Medicine degree but got into trouble with the United States government when she grew hair on the bald eagle.

Margaret Racz and Beth McKibben produced a camera that had no need for lens films, or even light. Needless to say it didn't work. In 1965 the R. C.A.F. sent Walter Reid to the moon. Walter was extremely disappointed to find only a big card with the words: "Genuine Swiss Cheese". In 1966 Gordon Platt entered a round-the-world marathon. Unfortunately, he had to drop out of the race at Halifax when he realized he couldn't swim. Bill Tajcnar joined the Calgary Stampeders and was voted Most Valuable Player. It seemed that whenever he passed the ball and was "nailed" he would deflate it, and while everybody was looking for the ball he would walk calmly down the field and make a touchdown. Bob Bourke became justly famous in theworld of art when he painted the first realistic picture of a mermaid dressing her hair. He filled her mouth with hairpins.

    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
