The guest editors of special issue 12, Jason W. Ellis and Sean Scanlan, interview Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard, where he is founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy. He is the author of many books, including the bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness (with Richard H. Thaler). His 2016 book The World According to Star Wars attempts to understand the Star Wars universe in ten chapters through the lenses of Sunstein’s academic interests, namely: culture, sociology, psychology, behavioral science, and political science. The book is both personal and theoretical, practical and academic. It takes accurate measure of the genesis of the movies, the movies themselves, and briefly, but trenchantly, it examines concepts such as reputational cascades and speculates on what Star Wars can teach viewers about constitutional disputes

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 Abela, Abby Acosta, Aielle Baker, Jaryn Bevans, Heston Boyd-Foster, Ryu Brown, Keira Brown, Mackenzie Buchta, Jayce Camiros, Christian Camiros, Christian Clarkson, Lliam Clements, Allen Collier, Olivia Coon, Kason Damberger, Hunter De Haan, William Dearing, Tristen Dueck, Vickie Duell, Kade Ellingson, Liam Estremos, Gene Eusebio, Gracia Evanson, Will Farwell, Aiden Froese, Alan Geeraert, Maggie Guimond.

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!

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 Tomorrow Shines Soon.

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. Important Dates in Churchill's Life 1874 (Nov. 30) Born in Oxfordshire, England. 1895 Graduated from Royal Military College. 1901 Entered House of Commons. 1908 (Sept. 12) Married Clementine Hozier. 1911 Appointed first lord of the admiralty. 1915 Resigned from the admiralty. 1939 Appointed first lord of the admiralty. 1940 Became prime minister of Great Britain. 1945 Became leader of the opposition. 1951 Became prime minister of Great Britain. 1953 Knighted.

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.

The annual publication of the students of W. R. Myers High School Taber, Alberta. (Volume 1984-1985)pdf=2 #7.5'7 IABER PUBLIC LIBRARY^fb^ A year book is usually used in reminiscing about your younger years. Many teachers, parents and “grown-ups” seem to take pleasure in telling teenagers that they should rea ize how happy they are, for their school years will be the best years of their lives. I can remember how ridiculous this statement seemed to be. There always seemed to be much more glamour and prestige linked with my future and with being “older.” I hope that you will remember W.R. Myers with as much fondness as I remember my high school years. We were charged with helping with your maturation and education in a very important and crucial part of your life. I can only hope that we were able to impart some of the knowledge and wisdom that our teachers passed on to us. I wish you all a very happy and fruitful life. PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE VICE-PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Most adults consider the years spent in high school as the best days of their life. This is certainly in my case. I have been most fortunate because, not only was I once a student, but am still able to enjoy the association of students and staff. It is a rich and rewarding experience which, I believe, cannot be found anywhere else. Consequently, it is of the utmost importance to take full advantage of this unique opportunity. Strive during these years for experiences which you can remember with fondness. Endeavor to make memories which you can value throughout your life. These memories will come through participation, committment, and service. I express my deepest appreciation to you, the staff and > the students of Myers High, for making these the best days of my life. EDITOR’S MESSAGE We’ve had an “awesome” time working on this year's yearbook. It’s been a new and challenging experience. We’ve gained a knowledge and better understanding of human relations. (Right Lonnie and Mrs. Thompson!) We also learned the art of chewing gum. (QUIETLY!!) It was great getting to know everyone and working together as a team. Special thanks go to Mrs. Thompson, who put up with alot from us and spent alot of extra time on bringing this yearbook to you. All in all it’s been a rewarding and fruitful experience and the knowledge and benefits will remain with us forever. KERRY HARRIS TODD LUND CO-EDITORS W T 4 LOOK, TWINS! OUCH!!! DEATH ROW.

Deadlines had to be met, pictures taken, and advertising to sell. At times it seemed like the work wouldn’t get done. We have all enjoyed working on the yearbook, it’s an experience that none of us will forget. 10 TEACHERS VOLLEYBALL GAME The teacher’s volleyball game was played, in order to stimulate the students interest in noon hour intramurals.

Parents, Teachers, Friends, Fellow Graduates: Tonight we stand at the end of one phase of life and at the threshold of a new beginning. To begin, I would like to take the time, as I am sure all graduates would agree to thank those people who have helped make this evening possible. First, we owe a great debt of thanks to our parents who have encouraged and supported us and have always been there when we needed them. Secondly, gratitude should be shown to our teachers and administrators for their part in helping to prepare us for the challenges that lay ahead. Thirdly, thanks is to be given to the grad committee and anyone involved with the grad committee for they have worked so hard from the start of the year to organize and make this night a reality. And last, but not least. We should all take the time to thank our friends with whom we’ve shared the many common experiences that will form the basis of our fondest memories. As I look around, I see many eager and expectant faces and I sense the tension and excitement that accompanies an event with such magnitude and grandeur. All of this seems too good to be true as if we were enveloped in a dream. People are essentially dreamers. And tonight we have the good fortune to participate and witness the fulfillment of such a wondrous dream in the culmination of our graduation ceremonies this evening. And indeed graduation is a dream each one of us has held since we started school though seemingly long, yet short 12 years ago. It is a dream each of us held and saw in the far distant future that has somehow kept us enduring and persevering the past trials and tribulations for the pleasures of this single night. We greet this night openly with youthful exuberance and enthusiasm. However, mixed in with this elation is a sense of apprehension as each of us realizes that we now stand alone to conquer the world from this point on. We are our own and ultimated decision-makers and any choice we make from now on will have everlasting effects on the course of our lives. Tonight, the lights will dim and fade away into twilight and it will appear to be the end of a momentous night, yet a night just like any other in the past. The morning will not only bring the dawn of the sun, but it will bring the dawn of a realization and understanding as we comprehend and accept the implications and newly-laid responsibility of the past night. We are no longer children. We are the new generation of the future. We are the new dream weavers of the world. There are so many opportunities and new plateaus to be grasped in the near future, and all of this seems a little foreboding and confusing. But no obstacle is insurmountable nor is any dream too lofty to be realized. We can and we will enjoy the successes life has to offer for we are the graduating class of 1985.

Both of are returning for our second year of Jo nalism, and so far it’s been a challenging perience. You guys really don’t know what g into putting a yearbook together. It’s a lot work! Not all the credit should go to us, but the whole class. We hope that you guy. like t book, and if you do tell the yearbook sta Give them your ideas for the new t Luck to the new crew, and hope yo 11« Il.I...I.ill... Congratulations to all students and staff for making the school year 1985-86 such a great success. The activities and experiences of this past year will provide many fond memories for all of us. A special thanks goes to Mr. Murphy and the Journalism class for compiling another outstanding yearbook in which the events and spirits of this past year have been captured. W.R. Myers High School is quickly being recognized as a quality educational institution. This is not due to the excellent resources or facilities which we enjoy but instead to the people who contribute to the overall atmosphere here. This includes students, teaching staff, secretaries, custodians, aids and others who work so hard to provide a positive learning environment. They do this primarily because they care about others. This makes them, and our school, special. In future years, as we look back through this yearbook let’s remember and be proud that we were a part of this great year. Principal’s Message During the 1984-85 school year students experienced many changes at W.R. Myers. There were several teaching changes as well as administration changes. New policies on course load, truancy, and attendence were implemented. The student body built and furnished a student lounge. A football program was added to our extra-curricular program. As the 1985-86 year began, students once again experienced many changes. There were again new teachers on staff. A full time counselor was added to our staff. The cafeteria was opened and lunch service was once again offered to W.R. Myers students. A committee was set up consisting of students and teachers to examine possible timetable changes for the 1986-87 school year. Everywhere students look or find themselves seems to involve “change”. As we look to the future to ponder what it holds for us, we must be prepared for the inevitable, CHANGE! As you look back over these pages of memories, I hope that we have been able to help prepare you for the continual transition that you will undoubtedly face throughout your life. Good Luck!!!

The team was comprised of seven grade tens and four grade elevens. The girls worked extremely hard and showed great improvement by the end of the year. The future definitely looks promising with so many girls returning. Thanks girls for a very enjoyable coaching experience. Coach Tilleman VOLLEYBALL 1985-1986 Prior to the start of the Myers 1985 V.B. season. 1 knew exactly what to expect and there were no surprises. We had lost all but one starter from our provincial finalist team the previous year. Doran Jensen was the only returning starter. The only other grade 12 player was Brian Schneider. This would be Brian’s first year as a starting setter. It's the toughest job on the team, and Myers had always prided itself on great setting, so he had some big shoes to fill. Brian worked hard all year long and emerged as a good setter, especially in view of the fact that he is only 5’7". Doran was expected to dominate and he DID have a good year as middle blocker. The rest were ail grade 10 & 11 players: Grade 11 - Rob Easthope, Greg Lothian, Scott Nelson, Tyler Anderson, & Kevin Ferguson. Grade 10 - Larry Johnson & Jordan Cleland. These younger players accomplished 2 things over the year: (1) they frustrated their coach IMMENSELY with their inconsestency. lack of discipline, lack of killer instinct, and inability to be intense and concentrate (2) they encouraged me temendously with their potential to win in the future. As a team we struggled all year long, but we did accomplish some goals: - We went undefeated in league against more experienced teams. - We won 4 tournaments, the minimum for Myers teams. • We won the league post season tourney for the 10th consecutive time. To our graduating players Brian and Doran, you have survived 3 years of highschool V.B. from one miserable but appreciative coach. You suffered through a provincial touney just prior to which we lost our best setter, and another in which we lost in the 3rd game of the final. You worked hard to help an inexperienced team along, and accomplished that. You've grown from the experiences we’ve shared as a team. To my returning players, think of this. You have great potential. When you read this we will already be into the 1986 season. My goal is one more provincial championship before we run out of players to feed the program. Make it your goal. We are going to work harder next year than anv team has worked before to achieve our goal, so BE READY! Thanks for a good year. Let’s make next year a great one.

However, the girl orked togethei and managed to alvagc a respectable record rhey ended up tied or second place in the 4A l eague but unfortunately got bumped to third because of points for and against. This required them to play an additional game in order to go to zones at the sportsplex. Unfortunately the girls did not play to the best of their ability and lost this game ending their season. Despite this misfortune the girls had an impressive year. Next year the team will miss three starters, Ardis Johnson, Tammy Cline, and Shari 7 ‘Tt 7 ‘ ': T 7 7 7 7 . 7 ■ •• * *« w Back Row: Lisa Colombo (stats), Eric Jensen, Doran Jensen, James Evanson, Melvin Johnson, Jason Bullock, Greg Lothian, Scott Nelson, Coach Tim Rollingson. Front Row: Cam Francis, Graham Abella, Frank Lowe, Cam Bullock, Tyler Anderson. This year, Myers Boys’ basketball had to live through the pains of a rebuilding season. The team played 35 games and won 15 of them. This is not great, however, the team recorded 10 of those wins in February and won 5 of their last 6 league games. Things look better for the 86-87 season. Two players graduate this year, Doran Jensen and James Evanson, and they will be missed. However, that means that 8 players return to display their talent again next season. Big years from Greg Lothian, Scott Nelson, Melvin Johnson, Eric Jensen, Jason Bullock, Tyler Anderson, and Larry Johnson should provide for excellent entertainment next season for Myers students and local basketball fans. The 4A league provides great entertainment and highly competitive action with some of the best basketball schools in the province in our league. We look forward to the challenge with renewed vigor and expectation. Coach Tim Rollingson SCHOOL RECORDS 1. REBOUNDS: Greg Hansen 526 12/game 79-80 Rob Layton 383 10.3/garne 84-85 2.
