Letter from Irene Edwards for Senator Langer to R. W. Quinn Regarding Possible Loan for Ramona Bearquiver, October 26, 1953
This letter, dated October 26, 1953, from Irene Edwards, secretary to United States (US) Senator William Langer, to R. W. Quinn, Superintendent of the Forth Berthold Agency, makes reference to a letter, which Edwards has enclosed, received by Langer\u27s office from Ramona L. S. Bearquiver of Hayward, California, inquiring about any per capita payment to which she or her family may be entitled and about a loan through the agency.
Edwards writes that she would very much appreciate having Quinn\u27s advice in this matter, and asks him to return the enclosed letter with his reply.
The letter Edwards refers to as being enclosed was not found with this letter in Langer\u27s papers.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Mr. D. V. Kilback
Each school year brings new challenges to students and
staff, requiring fresh approaches to old problems, and a
revised perspective on essential goals.
We have struggled this year with development of course
objectives and evaluation plans, with more weighty final
exams, and a different budgetting system. The School Board
is holding regular meetings in the various schools, thus
enabling members to become more familiar with daily operations.
The cafeteria committee, under sponsorship of the senior
students council, is continuing to provide an effective and
satisfying service to the students and staff. We are anticipating
a substantial upgrading of the cafeteria facilities to further
improve this function.
Our extra-curricular scene has been very exciting and
impressive this year, with outstanding accomplishment in
sports, the fine arts and other activities. We appreciate all
the students, teachers and other persons who have assisted
with coaching and supervising various events during the year.
Our instructional program, with its breadth of academic and
vocational-type courses, need periodic assessment in terms of
value to students and congruence with school and community
objectives.
Again, thanks to our Yearbook Committee and their advisor,
Mr. Hart, for another quality production.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
This is not the president's message I wanted to print. The president's message I wanted to print was to my fellow
graduates ... a kind of "take care of yourself, ya hear". But then the editors of this book didn't want that as a
president's message. "Tell us what council is going to do this year", they said. So even though this is really the
editors' message I'm still president and I'm writing it, so it's a president's message (I think).
Although we've got some objectives, one dance per month, and graduation, we can hardly say that will happen,
mainly because we don't know what the students want to do. Our purpose after all, is to serve the students and hopefully
make them say thirty years from now, "Yup, old Myers School was a pretty good place back in 77-78".
So, that's my president's - editors' - president's message. Don't look for a sequel.
Tom Gillespie
P.S. "Take care of yourself, ya hear."

JR. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
JUNIOR PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
We, the junior council, are responsible for giving the students an enjoyable
school year. Arranging social activities, dress-up days, and assemblies
is mostly on our hands. We, however, can only produce these activities;
you, the students and teachers, must take part. Having a good year means
participation by both students and teachers. Activities such as dances, basketball
games, and other sports may seem only for the benefit of the students,
but are for the teachers as well.
Dress-up days include both teachers and students to develop our school
spirit. As you can see, one of our major goals is to unite the students and
teachers through various activities. We believe if the teachers and students
can be together socially, they can get along better in school, and have a
happier and more rewarding school year.

SWEETHEART PROM
The Sweetheart Prom, probably the most significant event of the junior high year, took place on Feb. 27. W. R.
Myers Disco provided the music until 9:15 when the big moment arrived. Sheri Parker, a grade 9 student, was
chosen as Sweetheart Queen, and as she walked down the aisle, followed by her two princesses, it was evident that
she was very happy.

DIVISIONAL CHAMPS
jr. high basketball
This year, the Jr. High
Boys' basketball team was
coached by Dave Nelson.
The team had a 2 win, 4
loss record in regular season
play and competed in
2 tournaments, hosting one
at Myers and traveling to
Hamilton Jr. High for the
other. The 1978 season was
a rebuilding year as there
were only two grade 9 boys
on the squad. We are optimistic
about a strong
team for next year.

Brooks, and emerged victorious. In
Myers' Invitational tourney, which included
teams from Raymond, Brooks, and St.
Mary's, our team captured third place and
Peggy Williams was awarded "Most Valuable
Player". At the Jr. High Divisional Tourney,
Myers finally beat Barnwell (the team that
they had previously lost 2 games to) to become
the Divisional Champs for 1978.

Myers' Ski Club enjoyed a very successful year this season, with an
increase in members to 47, and SNOW in the mountains for a change.
The club kicked off its season with fund raising campaigns in the fall.
It ran a concession for the post-season volleyball tourney, catered to
a staff luncheon, and held a bake sale. As we decided to go in style
this year, we said "No" to the Community Club bus and travelled via
Greyhound to Fernie in December and January for one day trips. We
wound up the season with a super weekend trip to Kimberley and Fernie
in March. Highlights of the year:
- Mr. C. got his new poles ripped off in Kimberly.
- Allan Mills "Man, this trip was a slice! ! "
- Craig Martens at top of Bear: "You've gotta be kidding! !"
- John Lothian after he fell and twisted his ankle: Awx! ! ??x! !

The Myers gymnastics club,
under the instruction of Del
Cleland, put in another season
this year. Though large in number
the club is not, its members
have a great deal of fun and at
the same time, learn a thing or
two. The goal is not necessarily
to develop skills for competition
but rather to develop strength and
muscle tone while at the same
time achieving gymnastic proficiency.
At the annual talent
night, the club demonstrated its
capabilities by performing on the
parallel bars.
The club operated from December
to April this year, and
will do the same next year,
hopefully with a few more members.

CHILDREN S THEATER
The success or failure of any drama class is directly related
to the attitude of the enrolled students. They must
be enthusiastic about the activities and be willing to work
co-operatively. This year's classes were of very high caliber
because the students were receptive to the precept
that; "You only get out of a drama class what you put into
it. " Their enthusiasm provided the kind of atmosphere
in which creativity flourished.
The pictures on this page were taken during a performance
at St. Mary's kindergarten. Myers drama students
have entertained hundreds of young students over the past
several years. Prospective students often ask the question,
"Will we be doing Children's Theater?" before deciding to
to enroll in the class or not. This attests to the popularity
of this kind of performance.
Two Myers drama students, Harvey Tams and Colleen
Arnett entered drama competitions in Taber and Edmonton.
Harvey took first place in local competition and both
competitors received high praise from the adjudicators in
Edmonton.
It was a good year!

PRICIPAL’S
MESSAGE
Mr. Kilback
Our yearbook staff and their teacher advisor, Mr. Hart,
are to be highly commended for their diligent work in providing
this annual publication for our school.
A major event this year was the comprehensive school
evaluation by personnel from the Regional Office. The evaluation
identified certain areas of program, procedures, equipment, and
physical facilities which needed attention by the staff and school
board.
Another development was action by the school board to assure
greater control over students behaviour. Related to this issue
was the formation of a parent/student/teacher advisory committee
for consideration of matters of common concern, and participation
by many parents in noon supervision throughout the winter months.
The popular movement this year was "back to the basics," with
its conflicting interpretations and viewpoints. A gradual change
to a more highly structured curriculum is evident, with increased
emphasis on standardized testing at various grade levels.
However, what is basic to one expert may be a
'Giving honour to the Spirit' : a critical analysis and evaluation of the doctrine of pneumatological union in the Trinitarian theology of Jonathan Edwards in dialogue with Karl Barth
The extent to which the 'honour' of the Spirit influenced the theology of
Jonathan Edwards is a hitherto underdeveloped theme. Against a backdrop of
Patristic thought and in dialogue with the theology of Karl Barth, evaluation is
made of pneumatological union in Edwards' Trinitarian theology as this centres
on the nature and inter-relatedness of the 'three unions' that characterize his
theology: the union of the three Persons of the Trinity, the union of the saints
with God, and the union of the divine and human natures of Christ.
Edwards' seeks to honour the Spirit as the mutual love of the Father for the Son
within his Augustinian, Lockean model of the immanent Trinity, and as 'Person'
in the economy. The challenges of doing so within the limits of this
psychological model of the Trinity are evaluated in dialogue with the
Cappadocian Fathers and Barth.
In a manner patterned after union in the Trinity, Edwards gave prominence to the
concept of the pneumatological union of the saints with God in Christ, in
fulfilment of the self-glorifying purpose of God in creation and redemption.
Edwards' experiential theology of conversion, and his elevation of subjective
sanctification by the Spirit over objective justification in Christ, for assurance, is
contrasted with Barth's greater emphases on the Christological union of God
with humanity and objective justification in Christ. Barth's more contemplative
approach is contrasted with the overly introspective spirituality of Edwards.
Edwards' view of the role of the Spirit in the hypostatic union of God with
humanity in Christ, which is reflective of the other unions, is also evaluated in
light of Patristic, Reformed-Puritan and Barthian thought on the nature of the
humanity Christ assumed, and the doctrine of the vicarious humanity of Christ. A
more emphatic incarnational emphasis may have saved Edwards' Spirit-
honouring spirituality from an anthropocentricity which is ironical given that the
glory of God is his ontic doxological concern

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Our Yearbook has come of age! It is gratifying to note
that in the last couple of years deadlines have been met and
the student committee has accepted real responsibility for
the publication. And incredible as it may appear, the yearbook
account should show a moderate surplus this year.
A cooperative effort has paid off! Thanks are due to
the advisor Mr. Morrison, to the student’s councils for allocating
special funds, to the publisher’s representatives
for their guidance, and especially to the yearbook committees
for their committment and determination.
However, the future of our current school program does
not look so bright. In recent years the opertional costs haf
have escalated along with rising costs everywhere. Inflation
has taken its toll—decreasing purchasing power for supplies
and replacement of equipment. We have six fewer teachers
than we had five years ago, although our average yearly enrolment
has not declined in that proportion. It has become increasingly
difficult to maintain a broad program for the benefit
of students with diverse needs and interests.
Many classes are larger than they should be for effective
teaching and learning; some classes in special interest
areas may be too small to justify in strictly economic terms,
but justifiable in terms of opportunities for non academically -
oriented students.
Provincial funding does not appear to be geared to a sufficiently
high priority for education. The quality and extent
of programs are bound to be affected. I expect that in the
next few years the question of local priorities will become
much more urgent, and that decisions may be made concerning
substantial reduction or elimination of certain programs.
If present trends continue there is a high probability
that W. R, Myers will become essentially an academic Junior/
Senior high school simply because the operational costs per
student per year are thereby minimized.
Although there may be little argument over the need to main
maintain a basic core academic program, there is likely to be
much anxiety and stress when it comes to areas such as industrial
arts, home economics, business education, art and music.
What criteria will be used to judge their comparative educational
values? Will comparative financial costs be the crucial
factor?
In the final analysis we must all face this question:
How important is the school, and what do we want it to do for
our students?

SPIRIT OF ’75 TRIP
After a full two years of planning and fund-raising 62 students and 8 supervisors departed from W. R. Myers High School on June 23, 1975 en route to Calgary airport. Wardair took efficient care of us and all our baggage, and once installed inside the 747, Myer's students lost no time im getting down to the business of eating, drinking, and trying to impress the stewardesses.
The night was very short flying at 35000 feet and the next morning with the sun shining down on the green fields, our plane touched down at Gatwich airport, 40 miles south of London. There we were met by 2 buses and their drivers, Phil and Sinclair, who stayed with us throughout the entire 3 weeks. Suffice it to say that Phil and Sine turned out to be not only excellent drivers in England's congested traffic, but travel counsellors, baggage handlers, and our most enthusiastic applauders at every concert.
It is impossible to summarize the varied activities of three weeks in a few short paragraphs. However some over-riding impressions remain:
The support from the community, the unity which developed between student, teacher and parent, and the work of the executive committee were the three main factors in the success of the project
The thrill of performing to capacity audiences nearly everywhere we went; the chance to look at a foreigh educational system; the chance to view Taber and our life style from a distance and to compare it with another. These were experiences not commonly met with in day to day life.
The trip helped to invest the music program at the school with a certain amount of prestige. It also laid an excellent groundwork of cooperation amoug parents of music students—a spirit that has been carried on further this year by the Myers Music Association add those whose liaison in the future may help to benefit the music program at Myers still more.

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!

The W.R. Myers Concert and

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.

One good thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
The activities at the
provincial park started at
1 p.m. with a bucket
brigade. The group was
divided into approximately
four equal teams. The
awesome team 4, led by
Mr. Koski, were the
fastest at passing the
bucket from the ballpark
to the hilltop. Therefore,
they were also the first to
fill their 5 gallon bucket
and win the event.
The next event, the log
race, saw teams 4 and 2
tie. The team had to
carry their log from the
ballpark, through the
camp area, and then
across the river. The first
team to get 25 members
across won.
Center: And the winner of the
wet T-shirt contest is . ..
Right: Would you believe E.T.’s
sister

The final event of that day was
a tug-of-war. The four teams had
a contest in which team #3
emerged victorious. To end it all,
the school split into two teams for
the last tug-off of the day. To
everyone’s astonishment, the rope
broke leaving the competitors
piled like dominoes.

“S!” “P!” The cheerleaders screamed . . . “S!” “P!” the students screamed
back. “I!” “R!” yelled the cheerleaders . . . “I!” “R!” they yelled back .. .
“I!” “T!” “What does it spell?” “SPIRIT!”
The pep rallies over the past school year really had a lot of spirit. Students
and teachers got in and found out how much fun pep rallies can be. Contests,
plays and presentations have all been part of making our pep rallies the
greatest.
One of the memorable pep rallies was the one at the beginning of our 1982
school year. During this, the grade 12 victoriously won the pyramid contest
and the grade 11 won the rowdy flag award. The P.E. 20-30 class also performed
their aerobics for us.
The Christmas assembly was just as fun. Presentations were made to
teachers by none other than Santa Claus. This pep rally ended with the whole
student body joining in and singing Christmas carols.
Student pep rallies this year have really been a success and have shown
that W. R. Myers has “SPIRIT!”

VALEDICTORIAN — ROXANNE KURIO
We are a group of friends, fellow students, parents, and teachers
meeting tonight under the most pleasant circumstances to participate
in our graduation ceremony. The diplomas we will receive
attest to the proficiency and application during our high school
years. With the support of those people gathered here this evening,
we have attained the credentials to go on to meet the new challenges
which lie ahead of us.
Yet this evening is not without a touch of sadness. This is the last
opportunity we shall have to meet as students and it may well be the
last occasion at which all of will be present.
Because this may be our final meeting together, it might be well
to look over the road we have just travelled.
Three years ago we entered high school perhaps with a trace of
hesistance and uncertainty about our immediate outlook as
students. Gradually we put to rest those uncertainties and went on
to acquire the education and training that we had sought.
Another group of benefits, not so easily measured were also acquired
along the way. I refer to such things as the ability to get
along with one another. To understand better the word “sportsmanship”.
To have clearer the appreciation of the rewards which result
from perserverance and application.
Those of us who, perhaps a bit skeptically entered this school
three years ago, have learned today that there is a reward for effort,
and that only real effort produces a genuine reward.
Success and achievement is seldom the product of just one’s own
efforts. Therefore our thoughts turn to those people who contributed
the most to our individual successes. I refer of course to our teachers
and parents who often had to scold, conjole, console, and through it
all lend guidance and support. Perhaps our expressions of gratitude
can best be manifested in the coming years by whatever accomplishments
that may become ours.
Soon it will be time to pursue new goals. We will face them with
optimism, with courage, with determination.
Each one of us will soon begin a journey alone toward a chosen
task in life. The journey may not always be without its difficulties
and temporary setbacks, however, I am confident the virtues and
principles which have been bestowed upon us in the past will serve
as well in the future.
Shortly the vacant places we leave behind tonight will be filled by
others, just as eager, just as anxious, just as determined to succeed.
It is our sincere wish that all the pleasant and valuable experiences
which have been ours, will in due course be theirs.
When their turn comes may they be as sorry to leave as we are
this evening.

Each school year has its unique characteristics and
concerns. This might well be termed the year of Com-prehensives
and Computers. On the one hand we are
confronted with a set of external exams and
significantly higher requirements for obtaining a high
school diploma. The greatest impact will be felt by the
lower-achieving students who may have to accept
some alternative other than the previously anticipated
diploma. On the other hand, we see some exciting
possibilities for incorporating computer technology into
instructional and administrative procedures.
During this time of economic restraint, we are faced
with a need to carefully examine priorities in our
school program and to select those activities which will
provide most educational benefit to our students. This
assessment is reflected in decisions as to how budget
dollars are expended for supplies, equipment, and student
travel.
Special events have included the Day at the Park,
the trip to Europe, and presentations by Rick’s College
and the Covenant Players. The Graduation Committee
has again worked diligently to prepare for an
important and colorful annual event.
Our inter-school sports programs have once more
been highly successful, thanks to the tremendous efforts
of our students and their coaches and to substantial
community support. The fine arts programs in
music, art, and drama are a very worthwhile complement
to our academic core. A stage band for students
with special interests, and scheduled in addition to
regular band, has made exemplary contributions to
the school. In home economics, industrial arts, and
business education, our students have received practical
knowledge and skills applicable to direct job opportunities
or in preparation for further training.
The new Vandalism Reduction program has succeeded
threefold — property damage has decreased,
students are assuming greater responsibility for their
behavior, and Students Council has benefited from the
money saved and contributed by the School Board.
Under the direction of C. Hart, the students in our
small Journalism class have included in their productions
a weekly column for the Taber Times, several
editions of a school newspaper, and the Yearbook
itself. We extend sincere thanks and appreciation to
this class for their outstanding quality work and
performance.

This year the girls’ volleyball
team had a very successful season.
The starting six players were all
returning players, consisting of:
Sharon Hamilton (captain), Audrey
Bullock, Rhonda Ferguson, Jody
Parry, Pauline Hooge, and Connie
Gow. The reaminder of the team
were: Lynnece Kerner, Carol
Desabrais, Myrna Robinson, Sheila
Fujimagari, and Suzanne Vibholm.
Our manager this year was Cara-
Lee Ireland.
Our team started this year off on
a good note by winning the preseason
tournament. Many tournaments
followed, which we also
had a great deal of success in. We
won the pre-season, post-season,
league, and zone tournaments. We
placed second in all three Medicine
Hat high school tournaments. The
season was topped off by us going to
provincials and capturing third
spot. It has been quite a few years
since a girls team from Myers has
gone to the provincial tournament,
but with the help of a great guy we
made it. That great guy is Dennis
Fujiamgari, our coach. We would
like to extend a special thank-you
to him for all the time, effort, and
support he gave us. Without him we
wouldn’t have made it. We also appreciated
all the support from
students, teachers, and the parents,
we had a good year and a great
time.

MYERS VOLLEYBALL 1982
1982 was supposed to be a poor year for
Myers — but somebody forgot to tell the
players. Neil Powell was the only returning
starter; we had no returning setters; and only
nine people showed up at the beginning of the
year. Of this nine, one couldn’t handle the practices
and quit after the first week, and another
was forced to quit early in the season. This left
seven players, one more than absolutely
necessary, only 2 grade 12’s, 3 grade 1 l’s, and 2
grade 10’s, one returning starter and no setter
did not look good.
Dick Eto became an instant setter. Setting
200 balls a day and having the same expected of
him as we would an experienced setter gave no
room to be anything but good.
Cam Shields started as a typical grade 11 —
good skills but easy to psyche out — not mentally
experienced. He caught heck every game
for the first half of the season. At the end he
could probably take on anybody.
Jody Slavik was a grade 10 player who was
short. All he had was guts, good coordination,
and tremendous strength. Jody got chewed out
more than anybody on the team, but he took it,
learned and had a tremendous first year.
Rob Layton was the surprise I needed. Grade
10’s don’t normally play. The game is new to
them, and they don’t have the size, strength,
and skill to compete. Rob was tall, strong, coordinated
and learned amazingly fast — the best
grade 10 player I saw this year.
Dave Anderson was a grade 11 player. He
started the year with one year of practice under
his belt and not one inch taller than grade 10.
Nobody expected him to hit, but he could. He
was a hustler with a good team attitude.
Neil Powell was my only starter. I expected a
lot of Neil. When Neil was hot, we won. When
he was off, and that happens, we struggled.
Neil’s big improvement was in attitude. He was
a team leader in practice and was positive to the
game all year.
Dwight Harris started a year late — his
grade
