This photograph is a portrait of a very young Frances Burke, a Presbyterian missionary and teacher in Toquerville, Utah. The portrait is a straight forward shot only showing Miss Burke\u27s upper shoulders and head. She is wearing a dark top with darker vertical stripes and lightly colored buttons down the front. The top has a light lacy collar. Burke\u27s dark hair is parted in the middle and pulled back behind her head making her small, dark hoop earrings visible. A pink tone has been added to Miss Burke\u27s cheeks to create the appearance of blush on the black and white photograph. This photograph is very small and placed in a decorative copper, oval shaped mat and then onto a larger rectangular cream colored mat. The larger mat has two decorative, light maroon colored lines around the outside edge, one straight and one curvy.At the bottom on the front of the mat is typed in black, "Field, Artist, 112 W. Fifth St. Cin\u27ati." On the back of the mat at the top, "Miss Burke as little girl," is handwritten in pencil with "little girl" underlined. Below this writing, "L-3" is written in darker pencil. The photograph is in good condition except for two large fingerprints on the front and back of the mat probably from handling the photograph. Frances R. Burke was a Presbyterian missionary and teacher for over forty years in Toquerville, Utah. For further information about her see: Brimhall, Sandra D. and David A. Hales.

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!

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.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

Author: Zhao Dangzhi

Publication date: 01/01/2005
Field of study

The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

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.

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.

Massive advances are taking place in every field of human endeavour, including both the physical and social sciences. To prepare our place in this burgeoning society will take a great deal of planning and study on the part of each individual. We must pin down the areas in which our interests lie and then objectively assess our abilities. Are our interests compatible with our abilities? We must be realistic but at the same time not overly shy about shooting at a high goal. In our pre-employment training we must carefully select the correct subjects. To ensure a proper selection we should consult with all the resources available to us -- the home, industry, the churches and the school. The alternative to carefully choosing a vocation is wasteful experimentation. Jumping from one job to another without proper training is no substitute for fruitful planning and preparation. Life is too short and time too precious to allow for such wastage. Young people today are in an extremely fortunate position. Literally millions of dollars, along with vast human energies, are being poured into the provisions of new and additional educational and training facilities; facilities such as vocational and technical institutes. Junior and community colleges, private schools, apprenticeship training and so forth. The people who will be trained in these institutions will be the people you will have to compete with for jobs and in our society. Don't be caught short --be farsighted, plan and think ahead and work energetically toward the realistic goal which you set for yourself. And one thought on what type of a person you should strive to be. A famous philosopher, Kant, once said something to the effect that we should never use another human being as a means to an end, but should treat each human being as an end in himself. This is, of course, but a restatement of the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would be done unto. Respect the innate dignity possessed by each human regardless of his differences to you of age, race, creed or beliefs. If you wield authority, and most of us do or will, wield it wisely to achieve an aim, not merely for self-satisfaction or to prove yourself, better than another. Do not be hasty in judgments; think before you act. Sincerely attempt to follow the above briefly outlined precepts and you cannot fail to be a success as a human being and to achieve tranquility and peace of mind. Mr. P.J. Atherton M. Birk Mr. S.

VALEDICTORY Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Parents, Teachers, and Fellow Students: It has been said that life is a long and arduous sea-voyage, cruel and trying at times, but rewarding at others. Each little craft strives to overcome the treacheries of the voyage, its soul refusing to die. Crashing waves, unexpected fogs, and lurking reefs confront them, but they refuse to bow to the sea. As they reach their destinations, the anxiety and grief of the journey is all but forgotten, with only the glory of the moment remaining. We are like these boats, plowing the restless sea. Both the bitterness of failure and sweetness of success have not shaken us from the course, only conditioning us for the problems what lie ahead. Many doubts arose in our minds that we would not complete this venture, but even in our trying moments we kept our flames of hope and determination burning. In the process we developed honesty, perseverance, good citizenship, and, above all, the readiness to help others in need. Our deepest gratitude goes to those who piloted us across the rough sea. To the teachers we give our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for their patience and unceasing effort in leading us down new avenues of knowledge and in opening our eyes to the realities of life. To the parents our esteemed love for the sacrifices they have made in our behalf, comforting us in times of stress. We can never repay them for their understanding and for the help they unselfishly gave us whenever we needed it. Now as we have reached our harbour, the safety of the first port, our eyes turn to the voyages ahead. Undoubtedly, we will encounter many more terrifying storms that will tax our ingenuity and courage to the utmost. All we can do is strive to keep our faith and hope. At these times, the knowledge and endurance we acquired during the past twelve years, will help us bridge these crises. When we make our exit, whatever our destination, let us remember this night as a solemn highlight, a time when we take the helm in our search for integrity and honour. And as we face the future, confident and with heads held high, we are bouyed up with the knowledge and discipline of the past and with the strength of our parents and friends so that we seek out the future, as a poet said, "strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield." CLASS HISTORY Mr. Chairman, honoured guests, respected teachers, and fellow graduands, it is my privilege to present to you the history of this exalted and immortal class. My job is to bring back memories of what is past. We, the graduands, are like mountaineers; still climbing, the past is hazy and the summit is cloudy, only the present seems real. To summarize the history of this class I suppose that the best place to start would be the beginning — Grade one. For many of us this beginning was in the dormitory, at which place the first two years of our formal education took place. Here we made many new friends and developed a changed outlook on life. In Grade three there was another change when we were shipped over to the Central School for a year. Grade Four founds us in a new school, the Dr. Hamman. We spent three years in this school and upon leaving at the end of Grade Six it was apparent that the school was no longer new. Grade Seven found us back in Central with many major changes. Our numbers were augmented by the Southside Class, but were radically decreased by the opening of St. Mary's School. Also in Grade Seven we began to take a greater part in this democracy of ours by participation in student government. Then we came to glorious old T. H. S. in grade nine. Here we faced initiation and departmentals. Somehow we managed to survive the onslaught of both of these, but I'm afraid T. H. S. didn't survive us because the next year the name was changed to W. R. Myers High School. Upon reaching Grade Ten we were somewhat surprised to see many new faces -- students from Taber’s westerly suburb -- Barnwell. Most of us managed to somehow struggle through grades ten and eleven, and on to twelve. For many of us this will be the final year of schooling, for others a few more years at University or other training institutions loom ahead. Whatever we do let us hope we will make the best of our education. Our parents and teachers have struggled long hours to get us this far. We owe it to them as well as to ourselves to achieve greater things than we have been doing; as Mr. Semaka constantly reminds us. Now we have reached Grade Twelve, we find we have developed from unsure kids in Grade One to the outspoken intellectual giants we are today. We must be in possession of vast intelligence or how else could we strike our teachers speechless by our answers, and inspire such profound remarks of wisdom from Mr. Semaka about us. In approximately a month we will say good-bye to M. H. S. forever. Although we shall soon be leaving we will never forget the glorious days at school. We shall reserve a special place in our hearts for these memories, to look back upon them as we travel along the pathway of life. CLASS PROPHECY by LINDA LITCHFIELD In nineteen-hundred and ninety three Somebody soared from the galaxy To see what's beyond this earth of ours An just what inhabits the millions of stars. With BOB as captain the ship to steer Safe -driving he must practice here While in and out through the planetoids He pilots well and disaster avoids. RICK ANDERSON'S there right at his side He went along just for a ride To get away's why he did roam From nagging wife and ten kids back home. And a rev. they must take along So along went DOUGLAS ANDERSON. And a psychiatrist they needed too So DEAN went to see what he could do To help the Marians find some solutions And convince them that humans weren't confusion EVELYN CRADDUCK, a woman so fair Went along their meals to prepare Home Ec., in college she studied for years An preparing their meals gave her no fears. PAUL BOSE went along too, to plot the course Check the wind drift, but to their remorse Paul just couldn't keep the records straight So they went in circles and left much to debate. While back on earth the grads did grand MASSEY AND CAROL formed a band With Carol on piano and Massey on guitar They made good music but did not go far So they gathered some players from everywhere And started to play an original air While playing at Carnegie Hall out at Cranford This music, the building just wouldn't stand for It started to shake and began to collapse And that was the end of the great tune, perhaps. WAYNE had his head in the clouds all the time So decided to keep it there as a pastime A parachute jumper WAYNE SHEUERMAN became And practiced till he gained increasing fame. And before everyone of the jumps that he's made He'd gather some bets on just how long he'd take. RON JOHNSON, a famous actor became He loved playing in Shakespeare But they were too tame So he played Dr. Zorba To increase his fame. Nurse PUTICI did travel afar With her doctoring husband They sent to Central Africa To study native customs. KAY SHIMBASHI studied pharmacy Blew up the lab trying to cure pleurisy So Kay decided a secretary to be This occupation suits her more fittingly. DIANNE ODLAND set out on a horse To cross the Canadian expanse She said she would do it in 96 hours She did, just because of romance Her boyfriend was leaving in 100 hours From Halifax, headed to France. SANDRA ANDERSON became the leader Of U. of A's cheering squad But producers saw her and liked her voice And put her in movies instead She'd beg for a new role She’d rant and she'd rave But the same as before As town crier she stayed. ALAN and MENO joined the forces Protecting our country and its resourses Them in the airforce, Khrushchev feels safe They're manning bombers-that's our relief. In Nineteen hundred and ninety-six No one shed even a tear ROY ENDO was crowned in Toronto As bachelor of the year. Now at the turn of this great century JIM DICK finally got his doctors degree Specializing in surgery. CHARLES AVERY ran the Taber Times And printed all the news And now he works for the Income Tax Cause he wouldn't pay his dues. GARY FENSKE made such eloquent speeches While campaigning to be an MP; It wasn't only the speeches that led him To represent Barnwell constituency. DEANNA FRIESEN went in for a nurse But an actress she wanted to be She had her big break When she went for a take As an assistant to Dr. Ben Casey. MAX GOODFELLOW was also a star His good looks made him go far Once the public had heard him As a singer they spurned him For his vocal chords sounded ajar. Because she's concerned for mankind MARILYNE SMITH made a sensational find A hairtonic which grooms-as it shampoos Rid of dandruff and don't smell like boose. FRANK TACJNAR emerged a biology student In this field he was especially prudent If woman could dye their hair ye Iler Then cilia on amoeba too could take color. As a barber RON CONRAD was a sensation In time as result of his first occupation He concluded that if he forsook this ambition He would make money as a mortician. Now SUSIE'S collecting live octupi So necessary in her job of detection Her large octupus stands constantly byTo give her overwhelming protection. SID HALMA donned hat and gun Went into the jungle to get Just one of those little pink elephants We're hearing about even yet Interior decorating became the lifework Of one grad named MARGARET SCHAN Her first creations were just repeats But with shells and barnacles A stuffed fish or two Demand for early acquarium Now is not new. Through stop signs and all red lights And traffic jams in dead of night, A woman taxi driver in old Manhattan Half of the city DONNA G did flatten. ANDY KONNO in his commonplace moods Decided that people should fly Made some wings and attached a propellor And soared several feet in the sky But all that goes up must always come down And Andy came to by and by. Distinction-Just what JOAN J wanted For professionals she held high respect So off to school then back she came First woman welder you can detect. In Paris with fashion, working all day KEITH PETERSON was a noted coiffeur All at once he stopped working Began frantically searching His contact lenses-in someones poofed hair. LUCY took up track and field as a pro New records in racing her classes showed First she'd start the boys racing Girls begin after five minute spacing She advanced new ideas on a traditional theme Trying to keep boys ahead at full steam.

The annual publication of the students of W. R. Myers High School Taber, Alberta. (Volume 1971-1972)pdfW.R. MYERS HIGH SCHOOL 5511-54 Street Taber, Alberta TIG 1L5 Phone: 223-2292 umliaeKHfiHtftMHiWJSHnnstsatiHHimiMUMHSAiwoGHBOHMRnnHioiKianQnEinMnciuuEniMi TABER, ALBERTA 760 1 SHEILA REDEL 1971 Ryan Grigor Of Friends and When I dream Of friends and time, My mind floats Forth through meadows Filled with love, And the lives of man Are lives of joy, And harmony abounds. 1972 When I think Of friends and time, Things worry me That maybe, aren't really there, And lust for things I do not need, To make my life worth living. As I live with Friends and time, I see nature choked By people out for gain At any cost The poor get poorer, The rich get richer, There is no end. So now I pose This question, Which is best? To dream, To think, To live, With friends and time. It's not for me Alone to say. DEDICATION MR. FRANK SEMAKA Some might scoff at the fuss made for Mr. Semaka, after all he is just a vice-principal. Not True! So much is owed by so many to this man. His life work as an educator exceeded the normal bounds of a teacher. He has advised us when we've been confused, encouraged us when we were in doubt, taught us when we did not know and punished us when we should have known better. His accomplishments and recognitions have been many and although his years as an educator runs into higher math his presence will be sorely missed. It is for these reasons and for numerous others that the students of Myers dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Frank Semaka, a scholar among scholars. Dennis Kunimoto - Class President There are mixed feelings I'm sure, at the close of this school year as we contemplate the retirement of our Mr. Semaka. The name of Frank Semaka has become synonymous with education in the high school in Taber. Whenever you think of the high school here, you naturally think of Mr. Semaka. At this time of year, I pay tribute to Mr. Semaka who has given the best years of his life to the youth of our community. He has given of himself freely wherever there was a need. He has over the years been an example to all of us exemplifying the qualities for which he stood; such things as honesty, integrity, devotion to duty and responsibility. Students could "count on him", teachers and administrators could rely on him, the school board and the public could always expect to receive a full measure of service from him. Anyone who became acquainted with him were better off for just having known him. It has been a privilege to have been acquainted with Frank Semaka for some twenty and plus years and to have worked and associated very closely with him for the past ten. In my association with him, I have found him to be co-operative, loyal, good-hearted and a true friend. In the years to come, I wish you, Frank Semaka, the best; for you and yours. Even though you are leaving the profession and our place of employment I hope I have many more opportunities to associate with you. Rell G. Francis Vice-Principal I would like to commend the yearbook committee for their decision to dedicate this edition of the "Myers Dawn" to Mr. Semaka. Such recognition is well deserved. Over the past eight years, I have worked very closely with Mr. Semaka and have appreciated his many fine qualities. The two characteristics that to me are most outstanding are his dependability and his dedication to education. Students and teachers alike could always count on Mr. Semaka to have his work done on time and to have it well done. His concern for individual students was manifested in the many hours of earnest conversation and counselling with literally thousands of students during his more than thirty years of service. Mr. Semaka's exemplar conduct is a model that many students would do well to emulate. James L. George Superintendent PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE I would like to express my appreciation to all the staff and students for their assistance in various ways during my first year at W. R. Myers. The co-operation and support experienced has been very commendable. Generally, I think the relationship between staff and students has been quite satisfactory, considering that occasional conflicts of interest and irritations occur. Students' Councils (and their committees) have been most helpful in further developing a favorable atmosphere for learning. Their interest and co-operation is continually required for the school to function effectively. The work of staff committees has resulted in some changes to the Jr. High modified program and Jr. and Sr. High promotions policies. We expect that these changes will have beneficial effects for the students concerned. A full-scale semester system has been introduced in Sr. High, and continued on a limited basis in the Jr. High. We are expanding the Work Experience program and the Special Projects Credits. A W. R. Myers in Depth Study Guide has been published, and the School handbook has been revised for the orientation and guidance of teachers and students. Special thanks to the Yearbook Committee and the publishers of the Jr. and Sr. Newspapers. It takes a great deal of planning, responsibility, and work to produce quality publications which will contribute positively to the stature of the school, as well as provide an outlet for creative talents. These are tasks which are very time-consuming, and they may not always appear to be appreciated; but they have a significant role in the total school program -- requiring support and active participation. Our 1972 Graduation ceremony was a bright and colorful occasion. It included a farewell to our Mr. Semaka, teacher at W. R. Myers School for thirty years, (the last 12 years as Vice-principal), and a man who has left his mark in the minds and hearts of many students and teachers. We wish him every success in his retirement years. The Worth Commission Report suggests the possibility of many changes in Education. We will need to assess trends, recommendations, and innovations carefully in terms of educational objectives, in order to make appropriate decisions for the ultimate benefit of our students. We must not forget that the school has a two-fold purpose: to serve the needs and interests of the individual students, and to fulfill objectives of the larger society. Let us proceed into the 1972-'73 school year with courage and conviction. There are numerous jobs to be done well, whether it is in the teaching or the learning. May all of you set worthy goals, and make an earnest effort to achieve those goals. D. V.

This was done as a summer project. Councils put on a student exchange which was fairly good considering it was the first year. Council also went to Lethbridge and Coaldale to visit the High Schools and gain some new ideas. Council also sponsored several High School dances, and also saved the school from having all dances prohibited. KEYETTE CLUB The Keyette Club is a service group. We had a membership of thirty-three girls. Our executive consisted of Presidents: Cheryl Luehr, first half of year; and Mona Wilde, Secretary: Bronwyn Ellingson, Treasurer: Marilyn Winkler, and our Advisor: Mrs. Neilson. Some of the money raising activities we participated in this year were: bake sales, and the banquet for the Kiwanis Club. We also provided various services for the community. At Christmas time we donated money to the Fire Department for Christmas gifts for welfare children. Also at Christmas we worked along with the Key Club in assisting the Salvation Army. We also aided with the Blood Donors Clinic. At school we helped and did most of the planning for the Fort Benton Exchange.

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!!!

Baseball We would like to congratulate and thank those members of the Myers baseball team for 1986: Brian Schneider, Doran Jensen, Rob Nagata, Jim Kleiner, Mel Johnson, Tyler Anderson, Lyle Franz, Chad Nessman, Kevin Klassen, Jordan Cleland, Steve Kichler, and Troy Dickie.

We would also like to thank Del Cleland and Tim Rollingson. 00 Girl’s Volleyball Girls Senior High Volleyball The 1985 edition of Myers Senior High Girls Volleyball had a very youthful look. 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.

Junior Varsity G1 s Ba s k e t b a 1 1 The W.R, Myers Girls Basketball Teams have had a successful year. The Varsity team lost four of ih.." I . :.mci and were expected to be less competitive. 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.

Our yearbook is a road map for 1990 of the things we accomplished and the good times we’ve had. Rich Nagai and Scott Urano (top left) travel in style as they head out on foot. Kim Jespersen, Norma Powell, Rhonda Renner, and Tammy Rombough seem to be saying “bottoms up”, and Brad McCarty is exiled. Hopefully, Myers students will continue to find good times and succeed as they follow the roads life leads them down.

While we were gone for 10 days we visited Leningrad, Moscow and Helsinski, Finland. We spent 4 days in Leningrad where we saw the Peter-Paul Cathedral, the Winter Palace and the Hermitage Museum. We even saw a Russian Circus. From there we took a 9-hour train ride across to Moscow, home of the world’s largest McDonald’s. It only took us a half hour to wait to get in and the line up was only a few blocks long. While in Moscow for 3 very full days, we visited Red Square, the Kremlin and many cathedrals. We also went to the New - Maidens Nunnery and the Bolshoi Ballet. Many times we had to take the Metro (subway) back to our hotel, and it’s true what they say about it. It is the cleanest and the most beautiful subway around, made with marble archways and tiled walls and floors. Our last night was spent in Helsinski, Finland. We were only there for a short time but it’s where we had our best meal. We went to Pizza Hut. - Kyla Wyatt What I liked most about the trip was the people we met. I met people from Britain, Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, Germany, U.S.S.R. and all over the U.S. We toured with a group of students from Delaware. They were a lot of fun!! - Aimee Pahl Layne Christensen, Kyla Wyatt, Joanne Jochem enjoy a Russian meal.

Each and every student proceeds to the Taber Provincial Park where a free lunch is served by the members of Student Council. As the Grade 10 and 11 students enjoy the sun and fresh air, the seniors take part in a group picture. Following the lunch, all students are divided into their respective grades to compete in various activities (van cram, water brigade, Indian wrestling, beachball volleyball). The winning grade has the pleasure of taking the “Rebel flag” to the traditional first home football game . . 14 Page 14 L. to R.: All right who sneezed? . . . This is Lieutenant Roll-ingson.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude toward the members of my council for their confidence in me and more importantly, in themselves. Thanks also go to Mr. Gammon, our advisor, for his positive and always practical input into our meetings and our activities. Mr. Rollingson also provided exciting ideas for our pep rallies.

We helped Student Council by decorating for dances, challenged the Kawa-nian’s to a volleyball game (which we won), held Bingo’s for the Senior Citizens, hosted the Hawaiian Dance, and we miraculously stayed up for 36 hours. The money that was made from the Wake-A-Thon was donated to the Taber Food Bank. Some of us even went to a convention in Saskatoon, where we learned that we are the #1 Key Club in Western Canada!!! I believe that we can continue to live up to this great honor as long as we work together as a whole. I would like to thank everyone for helping make this such a successful year and I hope that this year has been as much fun for you as it has been for me . . .

These efforts involved selling raffle tickets for cars and selling vegetables (donated by Mr. Pat Shimbashi). The many performances of the Concert Band included a fall concert and a music festival in Lethbridge, in which we received a “2” (excellent) rating. The band finished off its year of hard work with a very successful performance at the International Concert held in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. There they placed third among twelve bands. Thank you to all parents and students who helped make this year a success. Top Left: Tammy Evanson blows on the base clarinet Bottom Left: Kami Francis plays her clarinet during the fall concert.

Front Row: Mrs. Chomany, Melissa Turnbull, Cindy Rombough This group is an elected body who actually begin their work the year before they graduate by being in charge of cleaning up the Civic Centre. In September, their real work begins. This is the group that decides on grad T-shirts; orders invitations, napkins, and cap and gowns; determines and orders decorations; and devises a theme. This group also organizes the sale of oranges which is the main source of fund raising. All of this takes a great deal of time, patience, and commitment. We would like to thank the graduating class for their support and wish next year’s committee good luck. 22 W.R.

The Rebels also attended a tournament in Edmonton at the Archbishop O’Leary High School where they played six games of 20 minutes each. The regular season began with a loss to L.C.l. on September 6. On September 15 and September 22 the Rebels lost two close games to Cardston and Winston Churchill respectively. On September 29, the Rebels dealt a loss to the Raymond Comets. On October 5, the Rebels handed out their first shutout against St. Mary’s Warriors. The winning streak was not to continue, as on October 13 the Rebels lost to Catholic Central of Lethbridge, 6-0. However, the team was soon to redeem themselves by defeating Kate Andrews on October 20. Then came the test of strength: the playoffs. The Rebels hoped for a repeat performance as they had to face the Raymond Comets again. The Rebels defeated Raymond Comets by 1 point. The Rebels then defeated the Black Diamond Drillers by 1 point and the McCoy Colts by 6 points. As the team began to realize it was possible to be provincial champs, so did the school and everyone turned out for the final game only to watch the Rebels fall 6 inches short of winning the Provincial Championship by being defeated by the Rebels of Rocky Mountain House. 24 Coach D.C.

Left: This team jelled together in attitude and work ethics. They set goals and became unified in their efforts to reach their goals. They realized it was up to them to have success and played their hearts out every game. They didn’t let insignificant losses, lack of players and injuries to starters affect their drive to reach their goals: Coach Koop Far Left: Eddy Lund hits a little bit of turbulance during his quest for the Football, OUCH!!! Upper Left: Nice touchdown, Hopper (Brett Hill)!: Brent Phillips STATS League record 3 wins 4 losses Playoff record 3 wins 1 loss Versus Tier III Opponents 6 wins 1 loss 25 SAINTS BUMP SET SPIKE The 1989 volleyball season for me was a definite enigma. We did turn our season around from the previous year indicated by the results. However, we failed to achieve some personal goals, which will mean we will have to work extra hard next year to make up for that. As a team, we failed to become a “team”. A whole bunch of “individuals” got together this year to play volleyball. Each player had only one major consideration -- himself. You can’t win the big ones with that attitude, and we didn’t. We had the talent to win but not the mental maturity. This is why we didn’t achieve our goals. If we mature mentally in the 1990 season, we will be one of the best 3A teams in the province. If we don’t, the year will be a long and fruitless one. Myers High School will host the 3A provincials in 1990 and I hope that our team to a man will be looking for a provincial win in their graduating year.

After placing 4th in the pre-season tournament at Myers, the girls were unable to advance at SAIT, U of L, and Okotoks. The team steadily improved during the season and placed 3rd at McCoy tournament. We were eliminated by the 2A Provincial Champions Crowsnest Pandas in the semi-finals. We defeated our cross-town rivals from St. Mary’s in the last league match of the year, leaving the Saints in a four-way tie for second place. Allison Schneider was chosen as a league all-star. In the post-season tournament we went 6 and 2 in our pool and defeated Winston Churchill in the semi-finals, before bowing to L.C.I. in the championship final, two games to one. At the zone championship, we were 6-0 in our pool and defeated Catholic Central in the semifinals to advance to our second championship final match in two weeks. We were defeated by a strong McCoy team who went on to represent the south zone at provincials in Barrhead. 29 BOYS BASKETBALL SCHOOL RECORDS Assists (Season) 1. Mark Francis 309 8.4/g 82-83. 2.

This year’s edition of the Myers Varsity Rebels had an outstanding season. The team had a 20 win-10 loss record. This included a second and a third place finish at the two most prestigious basketball tournaments in the province. The team was ranked as high as sixth in the province at the 4A level. Given the school size, this is a fantastic indicator of the level of “hoops” played here. The squad won the school’s first-ever league championship. The league scoring champion was Grade 10 student Tim Roll-ingson, he also received a first team league all-star and all-star recognition in the Sugar Bowl and Tri-Prov. Tom Anderson received all-star recognition in the Sugar Bowl as well. Captain Rob Oliver is the coach’s choice for team M.V.P., though, with his outstanding, courageous efforts game in and game out. Tim Rollingson, Coach. With skilled players and a keen work-ethic, the Junior Varsity team managed to have an 8-11 win/ loss record and finished in 5th place in the Junior league. Jared Bly provided leadership and guided Randy Oliver to key shots. Brian Jensen worked hard, while Jason Pack began to show the skills he is capable of. Ian Harris grabbed key rebounds and provided muscle for the team under the hoop. Cory Nelson helped immensely, while Rob Anderson and Ryan Harris assisted in ballhandling duties and proved they could compete when asked. Brandon Bly and Jonathon Bennett improved throughout the year and relieved the front line. Each player demonstrated drive, determination and good sportsmanship throughout the year. W.R.

COURT Born in Donaldston, Prince Edward Island on February 7, 1896, Mr. Court was educated in the local school there. After taking his Eleventh and Twelfth grades as well as his normal training at the Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown, he taught school for two years in Marshfield P. E. I. When war broke out he enlisted as a Gr. in the 20nd. Seige Battery, August 1915, and went overseas in Nov. of the same year. After the war, Mr. Court held positions as Principal, School Inspector, and Director of Teacher Training at the Prince of Wales College, a position he held for seven years, until he again enlisted in the army at the outbreak of W. W. II. During his four years in the service he attained the rank of Major. Upon his return to Charlottetown in 1944 Mr. Court took the position of Director of Vocational Training under the Dominion Gov't. Plan for Veteran's Training. In 1947 he came to Alberta and took up the post as Principal of Enchant School, joined the staff of Taber High as Vice Principal in 1955. !O J Mr, H. Court We, the classes of 1961, hereby dedicate this edition of "The Dawn" to Mr. Howard Court, Despite his many obligations and responsibilities, he has always found time not only to be an excellent Social Studies teacher, but also to be a FRIEND to everyone. His unceasing patience and sincere helpfulness has contributed greatly towards the success and happiness of our high school careers. We shall all miss him in the years to come. PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE "But that's my right!" How often today we hear this cry from individuals and groups. Everyone seems to be clear about what their 'rights' are -- employers, labor unions, organizations, parents, teenagers and even young children. And, undeniably, each of these has rights - 'inalienable' rights as our southern neighbors are fond of saying. A 'right' is a just and fair claim to anything whatever, either passive, as the right of possession, or active, as the right to pursue a certain course. For example, we all have the right to acquire property or the inherent right to non-interference. We have social, political and economic rights which must be consonant to the laws and customs of our country, provided these laws and customs are not repugnant to the laws of God. And hand in hand with these rights that we all possess as an innate portion of our human existence, goes responsibility. Responsibility is the state of being answerable or accountable as a person for certain duties or trusts we have undertaken. But are people as eager or willing to bear their responsibilities as they are to enjoy their rights? Consider the student in high school. He also has a responsibility, if he takes advantage of his right to attend school, to study diligently and abide by the regulations made in the school for the purpose of creating the best available learning situation. Consider also the citizen of a community. He too, has rights, many protected by law. What percentage of citizens however, undertake their responsibilities of being well informed on public issues, voting, running for public office, or raising their voice in community organizations? Too often people have become so used to their freedoms that they forget these can be easily lost. They are too concerned with material advancement to bother with their obligations which they must carry out if they wish to retain their freedoms. If security is the over-riding desire of an individual, let him remember that jail offers maximum security. The Soviet Union, that gigantic prison, offers its citizens maximum security at the price of personal freedoms. So if you wish to sell your birthright of freedom for the mess of pottage we call economic security, insist on your rights while you studiously avoid your responsibility. SENIORS OUR Mr. J. Coad Mr. H. Court Mrs. M. Grigor FACULTY Mr. A. Tollestrup Mr. W. Rowley Mr, Fletcher GRAD HISTORY (See who is who on page 25) We, thegraduands of 1961 have come through a great and marvelous period of transition in our lives -- the first and perhaps one of the greatest inner upheavals that we will experience. Since our youth, our beliefs and ideals have been subjected to an incisive examination and we have met many changes during this period of time. In moving up the educational ladder, we have encountered new challenges. In the elementary grades we learned, firstly to read and to print. Secondly, from kind and patient instructions and teaching, we developed a good background in arithmetic, language techniques, and natural sciences. Gradually the field of our subjects grew. Yes, we seemed to have come far in gaining knowledge, but there ahead of us looming, large and dark, were the worries and strains of grade nine exams. And finally and unbelievably, we conquered these and moved into a new era, High School. Yes, this was the last phase of our general and preparatory schooling. New responsibilities and decisions lay ahead of us and of these were the choosing of fields of endeavor and courses that we wished to take, choices consistent with our future aspirations, choices which would lead us on to either a High School Diploma or a Senior Matric. Who can forget the fun and social activities. But best of all was the enjoyment gained in working with and listening to our teachers. Many of us tried our best but it seems that the profound wisdom we bestowed upon our teachers was rather bewildering and each of us has been reminded that he has "a head like a turnip and isn't fit for a glue factory". But we must leave now. Our visit is over, and we take with us memories of those joys and frustrations which can be experienced only by a High School student. Our school, our teachers, and our parents have done their job -- they have offered to us the opportunity to develop our intellect, our character, and our personality. Let us hope that we, too, have done our duty by seizing this great opportunity. Bob Haslam Carol Haynes Ronald Hill Louise Holstine Jean Ito Ralph Jorstad Tom Krahn Bryan Harris "fond farewell” CLASS VALEDICTORIAN Ralph Jorstad Tonight marks the realization of a long-cherished dream. Tonight also foresees the termination of all the familiar things that for the last twelve years we have taken for granted as being a part of our lives, and it is then, with mixed emotions, that we must bid farewell to the past and emerge into an adult way of life. Our many cherished recollections and memories will now be giving way to our new ambitions and hopes. Our school endeavors have laid the ground work for our future achievements. We have been taught fellowship, cooperation, social consciousness, courage; we have learned gaiety, sadness, respect.........love. These sentiments we have experienced meaningfully, and it is these things we will endeavor to apply in our coming years. Our most dominant feeling tonight is one of gratitude. We realize that this graduation is not a project of our own ingenuity, but is the result of a composition of underlying factors. We gratefully acknowledge the teachers who, through their undying patience and unbounded abilities, have succeeded in seeing the 1961 graduates to the accomplishment of their first goal. We realize the extreme sacrifices of our parents, who unquestionably have played the major role in our education. By their love and gentle guidance we have been led forward in our educational experiences. They have been the ones to instill us with proper attitudes. For their providence of our security and their sage counselling we are deeply grateful. Our classmates have been responsible for much of our progress, and through our varied relationships together we have grown to respect each other and find satisfaction in one another's company. The feelings developed among us will not be missed until our separation, which is now at hand. Some of the people in our class will pass out of our lives altogether. We will never again be able to experience mass fellowship to such a degree. This is one of graduation's sad aspects, yet this has been one of the really great things of high school. From henceforth we are responsible to only ourselves. Let us play heartily but accept and carry valiantly the tasks which fall in our hands. Great and exacting will be the toll demanded by duty. In our living may we strive for peace; act wisely in our right to punish and forgive; fight with our honor, our might, our will; and strive for the betterment and brotherhood of mankind. This graduation marks the first of life’s major goals, the attainment of which is now our greatest victory. This good-bye closes a chapter in our lives, for which the struggle has been well worth while. Now, with a firm step, clear eye, and a confident heart, we shall continue on to greater and greater heights. In doing so, the graduation class of '61 says thank you... .and farewell.

The intramural program got off to a late start this year due to the confusion caused by the construction of the new school. Even so, the participation was greater this year than last. This may be due to the fact that the first team into the old gym usually won by default because there wasn't room for the opposition. The houses were evenly matched with the major difference in the point spreads being gained by refereeing and score keeping. Volleyball was the first to be run off. Competition among teams was keen with the red girls and purple boys being victorious. Orange house was tops in mixed volleyball action. Basketball followed. Playing in the new gym proved to be a handicap for those players who were also pool sharks. No longer could they bank the ball off the ceiling into the basket. Gone were the days when they could run up the wall to dunk the ball. Purple boys and red girls were the least handicapped as they were victors. Badminton matches came next. Some of the people are still wondering where their birds flew. Little do they know that they are roosting on the gym beams. As yet on June 6 badminton has not been completed. Pinky MacDonald and Joe Slavik of Purple are in the finals for the boys. Girls have just gotten under way. Frank Tcjnar, blue, and Ted Nishima, purple, are in the finals of the Ping-pong tournament. House standings to June 6 are: 1. Blue - 1245; 2. Red - 970; 3. Orange - 950; 4. Purple - 950. CHRISTMAS QUEEN -Margaret Braun A MESSAGE FROM MR. GALVIN Students of today, and I include myself, must realize that they are, and must keep on preparing themselves to become fitting citizens in an era whose social demands are many and great. We must be prepared to enter, as a vital element, into a society where two main ideologies, two main philosophical viewpoints are engaged in an unyielding war for supremacy; where scientific developments have linked together communities of people unlike in customs, basic philosophies etc., where new and powerful forces have been unleashed and now must needs be controlled by a morally sound, deep-thinking, peace-loving group of people. You the students of Taber Junior High School, are preparing yourselves to become active members of just such a group of people. Many of you this year have portrayed the attitudes of persons who will become the much needed and important contributors toward the progress and betterment of 'our way of life'. Upon you we base our hopes. JUNIOR HIGH SECTION OUR Mrs. V. Jensen Miss E. Kaller Mr. E, Litchfield Mrs. Williams FACULTY Mrs. N.
