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

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

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

when we needed it and
by the end of the season,
everyone had improved

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

Myers' Invitational tourney, which included
teams from Raymond, Brooks, and St.
Mary's, our team captured third place and
Peggy Williams was awarded "Most Valuable

Myers finally beat Barnwell (the team that
they had previously lost 2 games to) to become

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

During the past year it has been necessary to add materially to the size of the building,' and we now have one of the largest and most beautiful schools in the Province.
For the past few years much has been said and written about the crisis in education. First we were concerned about providing buildings and equipment. We now think of the ouality of the work we are doing.
A few weeks ago there was held at the City of Ottawa a conference on education for the purpose of examining the whole field of education. Delegates attended from all the Provinces of Canada, between SCO and 900 in all.
The general feeling of the conference was that the standard of excellence which could be achieved by our young people depended largely upon the co-operation between the young people and the teaching profession.
Without enthusiastic and devoted teachers we cannot have a successful school. There was a strong current of thought through the conference that the importance of the teachers' work was not sufficiently recognized.
We believe that we have in the Gilbert Faterson School an unusually fine staff of teachers, and that we should continue to give to them in increasing measure our support and co-operation.
A most interesting speaker who spoke to the conference was Sir Ronald Gould, the head of the teachers' organization in the British Isles. He directed attention to the organization of the early Christian Church, and showed the important place that was occupied by the teacher. He quoted from one of the letters ’written by Saint Paul to the people of Corinth as follows:
"And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues."
Next to the great spiritual leaders of the Church came the teachers. They took precedence ovecr the engineers, architects, doctors, nurses. It ’would arpear that the teacher was more important than the Superintendent, who administered the school organization.
It seems to me that young people of today have a marvellous opportunity to fit themselves to make their finest contribution to society when they grow up. It was evident from the statements of industrial leaders that they are prepared to advance in the way of scholarships and bursaries vast sums of money to enable our young people to become well oualified by attending institutions of higher learning. I believe the time is at hand when no girl or boy needs to be without a splendid education if she or he is willing to make a sacrifice in effort.
Sincerely
GILBERT PATERSONTo The Student Body Of 1937 - 1938

Nov; that another school year is drawing to a close, we who are engaged in the business of education are entering and demanding the arduous task of "taking stock" in order that we may bring together certain information and summarize our progress for the school year 1957-1958.
It has been said that Socrates differed from other men in that he pursued education where others proclaimed it. Some proclaim freedom, others pursue it, some proclaim "the state owes me an education - a living", while others pursue an education and thereby a living.
We as individuals might well devote some time to taking stock of ourselves as we finish this school year: it is only thus that we may be in a position to attempt to achieve the aims and objectives of what we pursue in our education. We must ever strive to Improve upon what has been done if we hope to accomplish that for which we have the yearning and the ability.
Looking back, doubtless, there are certain things which we did or neglected to do during the past year which detracted from our sense of personal satisfaction. These thoughtless errors of the past year may well direct our attention and our desire for improvement in the coming year.
Every person has a weak side. A wise person, however, knows where that weakness lies, and will be sure to keep a double guard there.
"Books are compasses and telescopes and sextants and charts which others have prepared to help us navigate the dangerous seas of human life."
"A good person will find there is goodness in the world; an honest person will find there is honesty in the world; a person of principle will find principle and integrety in the minds of others."
Each of us has in his heart a little thing called conscience, by which we test each thought and word and deed, and determine whether it is true or false.

You are richer now than you were last September if you have made new friends, if you have made stepping stones of your stumbling blocks, if you have learned to count out those things which really count, if you have become a little more blind to the faults of your friends and foes, and if you have accomplished to your satisfaction that which you set out to do last September.

Remember that if the opportunities for great deeds should never come your way the opportunity for good deeds is renewed everyday. The thing for us is goodness, not glory.

The council feels that the activities for the school year 1957-58 have been extremely successful.
During the year many students took part in three successful skating parties
Last fall we had a Welcome Homs Dance inviting the last year's graduating class as our honoured guests. We held three other successful dances.
These were the Christmas Dance, the Vale-'.'ine Dance and the May Dance.
The highlight of our May Dance was the crowning of a May King and Queen and two princes and princesses.
We conducted again for the third consecutive year a Turkey Raffle which we profited by with a substantial sum of money. Two major purchases of the Students' Union was that of a Tape Recorder and a C-estetner.

We decided to have a committee to take the responsibility of making up a constitution. We formed for the first time a school band which has been doing cuite well.
We held a series of Lits, the Grade Seven Spelling Bee, Grade Eight Quizz Contest and the Grade Nine Interhouse Debate, which were all successful.
V/e, the Students' Council, hope that we have served you well during this past school term and that you found this year one of the best yet in your school life.

The executive and members of the Gilbert Paterson Home and School Association feel that the 1957-58 season has been one of accomplishment and success. Briefly, here are some of the notable events of the year.
The association instituted the School Patrol; clearly marked school zones, and the Attendance Banner. We have purchased six dozen cups and saucers (to complete the dinner set started last year); as well as sport sv/eaters for school use. During the year we have sponsored scholarships; delegates to both the Banff Workshop and the Annual Convention; the water colour art display belonging to Mr. and Mrs.
Baron of Calgary; the Annual Graduation Banouet; and the Amateur Night Baking Contest and Shop Display. V/e contributed to the Kirby Scholarship fund in February, which is Founder's Month. Our membership has reached a new high of 215 active and enthusiastic supporters. Last, but not least, life membership and plaque were presented to Mr. G.C. Paterson — who has diligently supported our group in all its endeavors.
We would like to express our appreciation to all students, teachers and parents who have helped in any way throughout the past year.
We'll See Yov All At "Home and School" In The Fall

We would like to thank the students heartily for their support to the paper. Without their interest we could not put out a paper. With the new Gestetner Duplicating machine, we are able to reproduce a very fine paper that is much more legible and has a great many cartoon features.
Thanks again for supporting us and an extra thanks for those who worked on the paper.

As you pass through the journey of life you do well to pause at .7,
each station and survey your progress and attempt to peek into the ~
future. Our travel has taken us through the pleasant experiences of 3=
childhood, across the bridge of friendship into early school years Vj
and on to the broad open stretches where you can see so far ahead.
True, there are hills and dales, but we stand at a vantage point .=?
where our vision is not obscured. Very soon we must leave that pinnacle
and start our adventure through the future carefully completing our education, then selecting the path which looks most promising to 7.
lead us through the heavier responsibilities of earning our living §
and building our homes. Every good experience that we have had and ~
will have v/ill add to the smooth passage along that path. 7l
We expect there will be pitfalls to avoid, hills to climb and 7
rivers to cross. Strength comes from adversity. May we have the iJ
wisdom to recognize adversity as such and overcome it and not be de- ~
ceived by the idea that these pitfalls are there to obstruct us and defeat us.
C-ilbert Paterson Junior High. We came to you when you were very young and when we were very young. We are the first class of graduates to spend three full years within your walls. You have made us very proud. You took your place amongst the schools with dignity; you excelled in all you undertook; and most of all you found a place for yourself in our hearts. Parting is not easy but with us we take a memory of evenings of entertainment, days of accomplishment, and friends. When we face our pitfalls, our rivers and our hills, our knowledge of how to overcome them will be greater because of what we learned here.
Foremost among the friends we treasure from our visit here are those who gave of their energies, their knowledge and their learning, their hours of patience and understanding - CXir Teachers. Who knows, among our numbers may be a premier or a president or a great humanitarian, because of the seeds of thought that some wise teacher planted in fertile minds. Their guiding hand will stay our headstrong plunging when heading up wrong paths and lead us gently back to reality and set us in the way that we should go.

Graduating class, your work has been hard; but nothing worth having comes without effort. To compensate for the hours of intense study, the concentrated efforts over books and handiwork come the memories of dances at the school, the skating parties, the games we won and almost won, and our first dates. Oh yes, between the hills are valleys of joy, which come clearer when you look back upon the meadows of accomplishment.
The future cannot hold us back. Our dreams, our aims, will be accomplished and all because we had the three short full years to set our steps aright. Our heads are held high, our hearts are full of happiness and expectation. As we take our leave, we thank our school, our teachers and our fra ends most sincerely for all they have added to our lives.

aSOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT l ill
This article has been printed in various newspapers, including the Lethbridge Herald, and should give many teenagers food for thought.
"Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teen-agers:
"What can we do....?
"Where can we go....?
"I can make some suggestions. GO HOME l
"Hang storm windows, paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves. Mow the lawn. Shovel the walk. Wash the car. Learn to cook. Scrub some floors. Repair the sink. Build a boat. Get a job.
"Help the minister, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Visit the sick. Assist the poor. Study your lessons. And when you are through — and not too tired — read a book.
"Your parents do not owe you entertainment.
"Your village does not owe you recreational facilities.
"The world does not,owe you a living.
"You owe the world something.
"You owe it your time and energy, and your talents so that no one will be at war or in poverty, or sick, or lonely again.
"In plain, simple words: 'GROW UP* quit being a crybaby; get out of your dream world; develop a backbone not a wishbone, and start acting like a man or a lady."
"I'm a parent. I'm tired of nursing, protecting, helping, appealing, begging, excusing, tolerating, denying myself needed comforts for your every whim and fancy, just because your selfish ego instead of common sense dominates your personality, and thinking, and requests."%\

AWHICH ARE YOU
There are two kinds of people on earth today;
Just two kinds of people, no more, I say.
Not the sinner and saint, for it's well understood The good are half bad, and the bad are half good. Not the rich and the poor, for to rate a man’s wealth,
You must first know the state of his conscience and health.
Not the humble and proud, for in life's little span,
Who put on vain airs is not counted a man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years Bring each man his laughter and each man his tears.
No; the two kinds of people on earth I mean Are the people who lift, and the people who lean. Wherever you go, you will find the earth’s masses Are always divided in just these two classes.
And, oddly enough, you will find too, I ween, There’s always one lifter to twenty who lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing the load Of overtaxed lifters, who toil down the road?
Or are you a leaner, who lets othersshare Your portion of labor, and worry and care?

PRICIPAL’S
MESSAGE
Mr. Kilback
Our yearbook staff and their teacher advisor, Mr. Hart,
are to be highly commended for their diligent work in providing
this annual publication for our school.
A major event this year was the comprehensive school
evaluation by personnel from the Regional Office. The evaluation
identified certain areas of program, procedures, equipment, and
physical facilities which needed attention by the staff and school
board.
Another development was action by the school board to assure
greater control over students behaviour. Related to this issue
was the formation of a parent/student/teacher advisory committee
for consideration of matters of common concern, and participation
by many parents in noon supervision throughout the winter months.
The popular movement this year was "back to the basics," with
its conflicting interpretations and viewpoints. A gradual change
to a more highly structured curriculum is evident, with increased
emphasis on standardized testing at various grade levels.
However, what is basic to one expert may be a

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

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

TRIP TO SPOKANE
The highlight of the Chorus and Band classes this year
was without doubt the trip to Spokane from Hay fifth to the

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

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

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

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

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