No full textThe annual publication of the students of Hamilton Junior High, Lethbridge, Alberta.(1960-61)pdfForeword
We oro proud fo present the Hamilton Junior High School Year Book for 1961. This publication has soveral purposos.
First and foromost it is to servo as a pormanont record of the past year's school activities. By tho uso of words and pictures we hove tried to give you the host possible summation of the activities which arc carried on in this institution. The academic and non-academic, the curricular and non-curricular — all aspects of our school life aro on display hero.
This year we dedicato our book to threo mon in particular — Mr. George Watson, Mr. Hamilton — after whom our school is namod) and Dr. G. C. Paterson. Thoso mon have given unselfishly to tho cause of training the young people of Lothbridge. The ontire community and particularly our school, owos thorn a debt of gratitude. They are inox- tricably bound up in tho history of our city.
Wo gratefully acknowledge tho assistance that has been so un- solfishly given in the production of this book. Without the advice and wise counsel of Mr. G. C. Miller, Mr. George Watson and the other teachers, such a book would bo impossible. The students too have helped with tho work, and particularly did we appreciate the assistance of Frod Burton, Doidra Poulsen, Elaine Leong and David Hamer.
Wo hopo that as you leaf through thoso pages, fond memorios of a profitable year woil spent will be revived and porpotuated.Ad Astra Per Aspera
Imagine standing on a hill on a dark night and viewing a big city in the volley below. Here we see a multitude of lights, large and small, and each is endeavoring to pierce the infinite gloom. Taken individually, there is no great effect but all combined, there is a noticeable impression.
So too, in our lives it is important that each and every one of us strive to to help "illuminate" the world of progression. While the struggle tends to be infinite, still, we must constantly endeavor to combat ignorance and work hard to improve the lot of the human race so thot better understanding will prevail.
To each of us falls a portion of the task, but to see its completion is another problem. It is not for us to question or to find fault, but to be of such good character as to give our very best. Progress is essential and without such, the future would be hopeless.
To achieve our portion, it is well that we equip ourselves os bosf as we can. A most important requisite is a well-trained mind. To this end we ore fortunate in having fine schools and good teachers to help us become an important "light" in the path of progress, but the key to the whole situation is the individual. He must be desirous of learning and aspire to be successful. He must play his port in society and then our social structure will tend to glow brighter in the infinite gloom of ignorance, distrust and despair. Good luck to all.

Valedictory
eWb
Mr. Miller, Mr. Watson, Honored Guests, and Fellow Sludents. This year I have the pleasure of giving the Valedictory for the graduating class of Hamilton Junior High. This being our final year, we look bock to three years (and in o few cases more) of hard work os well os many moments of fun and recreation.
Hamilton Junior High School has been a great stepping stone for us in the transition period from elementary to high school. During these three years we hove boon taught not only the academic subjects but also the importance of assuming greater responsibility, not only to ourselves but also to others. The greatest compliment you can pay to our school is to be successful and happy. Therefore, lot us continue to set our goals high and never be deterred from reaching them.
We must accept responsibility, and the degree to which we do will determine the type of men and women we shall be. Everyone of us hore, I'm sure, expects to enter some business or profession in the future and this goal cannot be reached without determination and good old-fashioned work on the part of each individual. We ore now of the age where we must develop ability to assume responsibility and this can best be done by applying ourselves to conscientious study.
This year we hove been most fortunate in possessing a specialized teaching staff in our school. Our teachers hove given their utmost to enable us to further our education, and coupled with that we have had excellent school facilities. With such a combination, if we apply ourselves, success must bo inevitable.
It is with much regret that we ore losing our vice-principal, Mr. Watson, who has so carefully token care of our finances and made sure no money was spent unwisely. Again, permit me to thank all our teachers on behalf of the students. What you have done for us will always be remembered by each and everyone in years to come.

Home and Schoo
eW5
The Home and Schoo! year 1960*61 was very successful as far as programming was concerned. We had included in these programmes the Cameron Report, discussion of the curriculum by the teachers, what their subjects teach the children and what is expected of the children. Wo also showed a film and hod a discussion on if afterwords. Mr. Miller had as guests of the Homo and Schoo! the parents of prospective grade seven students from other schools, in order to explain to them the organization and curriculum of Hamilton Junior High School.
At Christmas the students and teachers presented an evening of entertainment. The Drama Club gave several short plays and the school hand gave a very enjoyable recital, all of which was very well received.
Mrs. Vera Shirley attended the Banff Conference of the Home and School as our delegate and brought back to us a full and comprehensive report on the conference.
As in the past, we would like to express our thanks to the teachers and students of Hamilton Junior High School for their willing assistance with our programmes and in the concerts that were presented at the school.
We who fake part in Home and School activities feel that those interested in
their children's education, should attend Home and School meetings and take part in
its programmes. Mr. C. Miller and Mr. G. Watson, the Principal and Vice-Principal of
Hamilton Junior High, ore very helpful in making our programmes as interesting as
possible. Mr. G. Watson is retiring this year and we on the Home and School Executive will miss him and the help he has always given us. Wc wish him every success for the future.

School Board
The school year 1960-61 hos seen a further increase in enrolment. At the end of Decomber 1960, there were 1978 pupils in Grades 1 to 3, 1752 in Grades 4 to 6. 1596 in Junior High and 1067 in Senior High. As the heavy enrolments in the primary grades move up there will be o marked increose in the Junior and senior high registrations.
The current employment situation points up the fact that more and more training is necessary. In this age of automotion ond technology, when training and skill ore so necessary, those without them cannot hope for anything but the increasingly few unskilled jobs that remain. As the demand for the unskilled decreases, the need for trained workers and technicians with at least high school graduation is increasing rapidly. The National Employment Service has found thot, despite a high rote of unemployment among unskilled teen agers, skilled jobs ore going unfilled. Employees of the future must be adaptable since technological developments moy offect the nature of the jobs they ore doing and they must be prepored to do something else. This implies good, sound training to ot leost the level of high school graduation. The employee must be able to think. Tho greatest need today is for young people who can be trained to assume executive positions.
While the drop-out rote of students in the Lethbridge city schools is one of the lowest in the country, there are still far too many students leaving our schools inadequately prepared to meet lifo's problems. After junior high, our two high schools offer a full program in the academic, commercial, industrial arts and goneral fields. After high school the Lethbridge Junior College offers the first year of university training in most faculties for the matriculation student. At present considerable investigotionol work is being done with a view to establishing a vocational school os port of the Junior College to serve the needs of the non-motriculation student. To aid those adults who sec the need for increased troining, a comprehensive evening class progrom is offered by the Junior College.
In terms of cold cash it pays to stay in school. Recently released statistics indicate that each year in senior high school adds about S230 per year in starting wages, while senior matriculation odds $466 more per year. At the age of thirty, it is estimated thot the high school graduotc mokes 30°* more than the nongraduate.

Address to the Graduating Class
eWs
Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Members of the Faculty and Graduates:
It is with considerable nostalgia that I stand before you this evening, since if was in the building presently known as the Hamilton Junior High School that I first walked the vaulted halls of the Castle of Macbeth and wondered with King Lear on the windy moore. If was in that building that I last received the strap for telling what I considered to be the truth, although admittedly, in a somewhat round-about way.
During my sojourn there I was told much that was never learned, I learned much that I never remembered, and yet as I look back, I feel that it is no doubt one of the outstanding periods of my life.
I recall one year that Viscount Bennett, then Prime Minister of Canada, spoke to the student body and at that time he said that the Youth of Today hod the opportunity, training, education, background and know-how, and I suggest Mr. Chairman, the graduates of today are no different.
However. I do believe that everyone will agree that we all suffer under the feeling of being pressed for time. We are eternally in o hurry, which after all is simply a shortage of time. Naturally enough there is created a universal impatience which again is merely a shortage of disposition. In all this hustle and bustle is it any wonder that we all search for what we call "short cuts/*
"Short cuts" arc to be found everywhere in life today, whether we recognize them os such or not. For instance, a leisurely breakfast is almost impossible, with instant coffee, quick oatmeal and minute rice. The housewife is provided with her own short cuts; she now has polish that requires no rubbing, no buffing and has the use of detergents which make clothes cleaner than clean, whiter than white.
"Short cuts" are presented to us so frequently that we ore inclined to try them in everything in life. Well students, I assure you that there are some things that just cannot be hurried, that demand the long way around, if you like, and to which there are positively no short cuts.
There is no short cut or quick way to make an oak free grow from an acorn. No hands of man can turn back the fleeting minutes nor hasten the circuit of the sun in the sky. It still requires rain, and sun, and time to grow a crop, and all the impatient mutterings of mankind changes nothing of the works of nature.
If has been said that there is no royal road to learning and I suggest that it is just os true that there is no short cut to education. The highway leading to this very graduation tonight is surfaced with the cobblestones of time and effort.
I feel rather sorry for young people today, simply because they seem to be in such a hurry to grow up. or at least to become adults. Some try short cuts to manhood or womanhood, and seem to bo impatient with the time and effort required, simply in being young people, and they expect to build character overnight. Some feel that
by the use of self-assertion, smartness and disregard for advice, the day will soon dawn when they can say "Today
I am a man." Graduates, I say to you, that it takes as much guidance, growth and direction now, for a girl or boy to reach maturity and possess character as it ever did. Don't be afraid of being a teen-ager for just as long os you can, because you will be an adult soon enough and long enough.
Don't form the habit of looking for short cuts os you go through life, because could young people realize how
soon they become more walking bundles of habit, they would give greater heed to their conduct while they ore in this plastic state. We arc choosing the paths of our own fate, and whether they be good or evil, such paths are never retrod. Slow down, don't always use the short cut, use the longer way, take time to give the person you would like to be, a look at the person that you really are. It is just os far from the truth for a 14 years old to think
he or she knows all the answers, as it is to fear that he or she doesn't know any of thorn.
Graduates, on this, the eve of your entrance into high school, I urge you to examine closely all the roads that
you may be tempted to take, whether your destination be college, vocational success or simply womanhood or manhood.
Moke sure the path you choose leads you where you want to go. Remember always, that helpful as they can be at times, short cuts ore seldom hard surfaced and smooth, are often rocky and winding, and frequently prove to be longer and more hazardous than the beaten or perhaps more tedious way.
Yours is the choice, the well worn path or the promising unknown short cut. May God in his goodness assist you in choosing wisely.

A modelling approach to assist with managing water quality in a catchment subject to rapid urbanisation: Lake Rotokauri, Hamilton, New Zealand
No full textThe objective of this study was to apply a coupled hydrodynamic-ecological model to a peat-stained and shallow (~4 m maximum depth) eutrophic lake whose catchment is likely to be subject to urban expansion associated with the development of Hamilton city, Waikato, New Zealand. The in-lake modelling was designed to increase understanding of the lake ecosystem and potentially to influence planning and management decisions associated with the prospective urban development project being undertaken by the Hamilton City Council (HCC). The overarching goal of the development is to accommodate urban expansion whilst retaining and enhancing the existing natural resources of Lake Rotokauri and Waiwhakareke Lake, and to restore the ecological value of the Rotokauri catchment. The main objective of this study was to understand the relationship between lake water quality and the effects of change of land-use from pastoral to urban within the Rotokauri catchment. This study incorporated results from a twelve-month programme of field work undertaken independently to the present study, into empirical calculations and computer modelling related to the catchment water budget and nutrient load, as well as the lake water quality. The fieldwork included the collection of water samples at set depths from Lake Rotokauri for the analysis of total and dissolved nutrients, chlorophyll a and dissolved oxygen concentrations, and water temperature. On each sampling occasion a Secchi depth was measured. The surface flow measurements and nutrient loadings via the inflows were obtained as part of a water budget calculation for the lake as well as from previous studies that used both field measurements and models to derive nutrient concentrations and loads.
An empirical water budget for Lake Rotokauri was developed to estimate the groundwater and outflow discharge as there were no gaugings that could be applied to input these variables into the lake model. Meteorological data for Lake Rotokauri was obtained from the National Institute of Water and Atmosphere Limited database, based on measurement at the Ruakura meteorological station. Meteorological data, inflows (including empirically estimated groundwater and measured surface water discharges to the lake) and the calculated outflow were entered as daily inputs to the DYRESM-CAEDYM lake model for the period of 2009. The available data relating to 2009 were looped for 2010 to check the stability of the model and its ability to capture repeated inter-annual dynamics that would be expected with identical annual forcing data input. DYRESM is a one-dimensional hydrodynamic model that predicts the vertical distribution of temperature, density and salinity. CAEDYM is an aquatic ecological model which was coupled with DYRESM as its hydrodynamic driver to simulate transport and mixing, and output temperature and biogeochemical parameters associated with lake water quality. The model satisfactorily simulated both the surface (0 m) and bottom (3 m) water temperature and the seasonal trends including the occasional stratification periods observed through spring to autumn. The model simulations showed greater departures from field data in simulating the dynamics of biogeochemical variables, particularly the seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton. The conceptual seasonal succession in phytoplankton communities depicts dominance of cyanobacteria in summer and diatoms in winter. In the observed data for Lake Rotokauri diatoms were found to be the dominant group throughout the year. The calibrated model was able to show diatoms to be the dominant group over cyanobacterial blooms. The agreement between concentrations of nitrate and dissolved reactive phosphorus in the water column was better than for chlorophyll a, and the observed magnitude and seasonal fluctuations at both depths (0 and 3 m) were captured reasonably well by the model simulations. The total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations were under and over-estimated, respectively. Dissolved reactive phosphorus (PO4) was overestimated perhaps as a result of insufficient uptake of phosphorus by the two phytoplankton groups. As the present model does not contain a dynamic description of sediment dynamics, the sediment phosphorus release rates were influenced by user-defined maximum phosphorus release rate, temperature and the oxygen concentration in the overlying waters. Concentrations of ammonium were underestimated but it represented a relatively small proportion of TN. Due to wind-induced mixing and sediment resuspension, as well as convective sediment-water heat exchanges, phosphorus may be released from the bottom sediments where it has previously sedimented out. The model simulations may not have captured these internal loads of phosphorus adequately as sediment resuspension, for example, was not explicitly included in the model configuration.
To depict the future water quality of Lake Rotokauri when subjected to urbanisation, three scenarios were developed which involved simulations with altered nutrient loads to DYRESM-CAEDYM and comparisons with the calibrated model which represented a ‘base’ or present case of water quality. The scenarios considered the water quality that could evolve during and after urban development, and with a range of mitigation measures, from relatively modest treatment to best management practices to reduce nutrient loads and attenuate water flows to the lake.
The predicted nutrient load contributed from future urban run-off was less than the nutrient load from the pastoral run-off in all scenarios. The model indicated that the nutrient loading from a future catchment with little or modest treatment of the urban area (Scenario I) would be only slightly poorer water quality than Scenario II which examined the water quality during the construction phase. Scenario III (treated water) was most effective in reducing nutrient loads to Lake Rotokauri. At 3 m depth dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations showed large fluctuations throughout the year for the both the base and untreated discharge scenarios. Chlorophyll a (chl a) concentrations for the untreated scenario were greater than in the base scenario. The timing of peak chl a concentrations between base and untreated discharges differed by a few days. The TP, TN and nitrate (NO3-N) concentrations of the base scenario were greater than the untreated scenario.
Scenario II represented the intermediate stage towards Scenario 3 which was the optimal treatment case for the catchment. The greatest difference in DO at 0 m between the base case and scenario II was in March (i.e., base-intermediate = 2.76 mg L-1). At 3 m depth, Lake Rotokauri was predicted to be anoxic on 4 July 2011 (0.18 mg L-1) for scenario II. Chlorophyll a concentrations for scenario 2 were lower than the base case and PO4-P concentrations were higher. Concentrations of NO3-N and NH4-N at 3 m depth for scenario II were lower than the base case.
Scenario III involved simulating water quality from with best management practices implemented. These practices included detention basins (grass-lined), constructed wetlands, biofiltration swales and floodways. At 3 m depth, fluctuations in DO concentration for both the base and scenario III were similar at the beginning of the simulated period, but for the months of May to November DO was lower in Scenario III than the base case. The maximum chl a for scenario 3 peaked at 30.8 μgL-1 compared to 38.9 μg L-1 observed in the base model. The TP and TN concentrations were substantially lower in Scenario III than the base model. Concentrations of PO4-P at 3 m depth were low for most of the year except in March. At 0 m depth the NH4-N concentrations were greater than the base model from mid-June to July. Concentrations of NO3-N for the treated scenario at 0 m depth were approximately 25% less than the base model.
Future studies should consider an ongoing comprehensive and consistent monitoring plan that would emphasise any change in the water quality of Lake Rotokauri during and/or after high-density urban developments within the catchment. Future works should involve regular monitoring that would not only limit the uncertainties in the data but also account for any effects that may be attributable to the management plan. Restoration plans should also be considered to explore the effects of biomanipulation and re-establishment of submerged vegetation. The DYRESM-CAEDYM model may also be used to examine the effects of climate change on in-lake processes and external loads to the lake

Education is the keystone to civilization. Without it man would not bo above his barbaric ancestors. Only through the acquisition of knowledge ot the finer things are we able to distinguish between what is fine and what is base. Without joy, one cannot appreciate sorrow and vice-versa. Therefore we all carry a great responsibility.
It is every person's duty in this great world to acquire as much knov/ledge as possible, and by the same token impart it to his fellow man so that a general advancement is made toward a more enlightened life. Such has been the objective of every teacher on the staff of the Hamilton Junior Hig.n School, and we hops we have made some small contribution in enriching your life.

Tho Lothbrldge Public School District celebrated Us 71st birthday in April. Tho one-room cottago school of 1886 rented from tho North West Coal and Navigation Company has developed into a system operating sixtoon schools. V/ostminstor is tho oldost school as its middle section was oponod :n 1906. Central was finished in 1909. Fleetwood in 1911. Bowman in 1911. Galbraith in 1913. Fleetwood Annex in 1949. Allan Watson in 1951, Suslo Bowden in 1951. Sonator Buchanan in 1954. Gilbert Paterson in 1955. George McKillop and Gonoral Stowart in 1956.
The three junior high schools are comparatively now. In 1950 Hamilton took ovor tho Collogiato building which had operated as a sonicr high school sinco 1928. Wilson went into operation in 1953 and Gilbert Patorson in 1955.
The Collogiato Instituto. first occupiod in 1950. had an eighteen room addition added to it in 1956. This largo ccmposito school has now accommodation for about 1,200 sluaonts.
G. C. PATERSON. Q.C.
For tho past ton years school population has grown stoedily. In 1946 there were 2.374 pupils in the system; now thoro are 4.931 which is an incroase of ovor ono hundrod por cont. The teaching staff of 74 has grown to ono of 198. Birth statistics inaicato that school onroimonts will grow steadily until thoy level off at approximately sevon thousand five hundred.
During tho past years it has bocomo vory evident Lothbridgo is a good place in which to obtain an education and to 3hape a caroor. Our schools attompt to provide an education for all types of boys and girls. Once a sound foundation has been laid in tho olementary and junior high schools, a young person may take advantage cf tho various programmes available at the Collegiato Instituto. It is cno of tho sevon largo Alberta ccmposito high schools which has academic, commercial and technical dopartmonts. With the establishment o! the Lethbridge Junior Colloge there will bo greater opportunities for education boyend tho high school level. Boys and girls cf Southern Alberta will be able to set thoir sights a little higher when ono year of university work boccmos available in Lethbridge.
In financial terms education is becoming big business. Dur- ina the past yoar the taxable assessment cf tho school district has increased approximately 26,430.- 000. Tho 1957 school budget of 270. Tho City of Lethbridge has overy right to expect that this investment in its youth is a wise expenditure.

Valedictory
Mr. Chairman, Mr. Miller, Mr. Watson, Members of the School Board, teachers and fellow students: Tonight, I have the honor of giving the farewell address for the Grade Nine 1956-57 Graduating Class. Words will never express the feelings we have because words cannot express them.
When v/e first entered the dark, noisy halls, wo thought the end of the world had come. And so it was the end of our small, selfish worlds, for in the three years of our stay in Hamilton, new horizons were opened before our eyes. In Grade Eight, we became accustomed to the school system and felt more a part of the student body. Grade Nine has been a year for leadership and example setting. We were the older, more experienced people.
The extra-curricular activities developed our skills, our interests, and our cultural appreciation. Our efficient Students' Council has enabled us to become more aware of the process of government in our environment. In our classrooms, v/e gained knowledge through the efforts of our ever-patient teachers, knowledge, not only about facts and figures, but also how to think and to widen our scope of thinking.
With the training v/e have received at Hamilton, many of us have been able to make decisions about our future occupations, while others have found where their general interests lie.
We must not think, however, that we have learned all we can, for as Georgia Green states in her
poem:
"The summit above me lay gloomy and dark As I stood on the brow of the hill;
As I turned and gazed on its sombre face The sight v/as enough to thrill.
Belov/ at my feet lay a valley fair In its slumbering peaceful state,
And the cool breeze fanned my troubled face As my heart beat a faster rate.
KAREN DUFF
The ground at my feet sloped gently down. The path was rolling and slow.
But 1 turned my back at the peaceful scene For I knew where my feet must go.
They must follow the crags and attain the peak Though the going be v/eary and slow.
For the spirit of freedom was calling me on And the answer lay not below."
Class History
«Ws
Our Graduation tonight is not only a time for celebration, but it is a time when v/e remember our three years in Hamilton. During this period, we have matured from elementary school — graduates to young adults, the world leaders of tomorrow. Let us review the incidents which in years to come will provide us with nostalgic memories of Hamilton.
Our first day was not without its events. The trip to the wrong room, the experience of trying to bully our v/ay up the v/rong stairs — all these made up a memorable day. No sooner had we become accustomed to the grind than Mr. Watson opened his "extra-help-in-writing" class after four o'clock. In April we stumbled onto the feared Easter exams. Our marks told of our efforts, and soon v/e were introduced to the notorious extra-help sheets. Then v/e deduced from Mr. Miller's illegible scrawl that we had been promoted to Grade Eight.
Our second year was different. Night after night v/e filed into Room 27 to attend our beloved (?) Math, teacher's detentions. Or else we were scanning the nev/spapers in science class to obtain Current Events. V/e faced the "swim or sink" aspect of Easters, but we kept our heads above water.
Then came our final year at Hamilton and with it our introduction to final exams. But Grade Nine has not been without its comical points. The befuddled look on our faces as Mr. Watson buried us under a ton of algebraic terms brought snickers and chuckles.
Now we are leaving Hamilton for greater opportunities beyond. In our minds, our school will fade almost into obscurity, but its memory cannot be completely forgotten. Hamilton will be a passing saga in our life.

Intra-conference Tour Day 1: Hamilton–Raglan–Hamilton
No full textToday's trip to the Raglan district, western North Island, is primarily an introduction to (1) the Alexandra Volcanics, a group of chiefly basaltic deposits of Plio-Pleistocene age, and (2) the Kauroa and Hamilton Ash formations, two groups of weathered, predominantly rhyolitic, tephra beds of Plio-Pleistocene age that, in places, are intercalated with Alexandra Volcanics. Buried paleosols are associated with both the Alexandra and Kauroa/Hamilton deposits. We plan on spending around half the day at one site - Stop 5 - on the Karioi edifice on the west coast, just south of Raglan (Figs. 1.1, 1.5). Here we will examine, in a relaxed and informal manner, outcrops in and near Te Toto amphitheatre and gorge, a critical locality for understanding the stratigraphic succession and petrologic evolution of Karioi (see Fig. 1.9 below)

Cult: A Composite Novel
No full textCult (redacted)
The first component of the thesis is a composite novel called Cult which falls into two parts with seven narratives in each. Part 1 tracks the protagonist, Ellen, from her first involvement with the cult through to her eventually leaving it. Although fiction, the first half of the book answers the kinds of questions the author is asked when people discover that she was once a sannyasin (a follower of the guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). While the experiences of meditation, group therapy and communal living are all faithfully rendered within the stories, the need for strong characters, narrative drive and a lightness of touch takes precedence.
Part 2 picks up Ellen’s story some twenty or so years later and explores what becomes of her in middle age. It also looks at other groups in society, such as academia, the law and the internet dating community which each have their own jargon, hierarchies, rituals and rules but are not considered to be cults.
The book examines the question raised in the Epigraph, ‘how do we be together when we feel so alone’ with a focus on relationships other than the familial and the romantic.
Collisions, Chasms and Connections: a Performative Exploration of the Composite Novel Form
The second part of the thesis is both a critical and creative response to three contemporary American books: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout; A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan; and Legend of a Suicide by David Vann. The critical element comprises a close reading of the three books; a chronological reconstruction of their overarching storylines; and a consideration of what their authors have said about writing the books. It concludes that, in the composite novel, the simultaneous presentation of multiple views and storylines operate much like a 3D image to give the impression of depth to the characters and situations rendered. The creative element of the essay is a playful and personal response to the texts
Hamilton East: Interpretation of house styles and infilling the one acre sections
No full textThis thesis elucidates and interprets the social construction of an inner city suburb of Hamilton. Hamilton East was originally surveyed as a military settlement in 1864. The provenance of house styles is examined in the context of particular periods of time, and six commonly constructed period-styles are identified. These are nineteenth century houses, villas, bungalows, standard New Zealand houses, flats, and variations on old themes. In the context of changes in subdivision design since the original survey, three questions related to the location of these houses are addressed. These are: why, where and how was a tiny township infilled with houses to the density of the present suburb? This thesis focuses on the identification and interpretation of meanings implied in house styles and infilling processes.
The conditions which determined and contributed to the period-styles in popular housing are explored in detail. The significance of meaning in the built environment is a vital and recurring theme. Housing acts as a form of non-verbal communication. Each period-style functions as a set of symbols. The sign value of a house style is its meaning as a symbol of something else. The meaning functions like a code, shared by the people of the community, and changes over time.
Socio-cultural influences include practical and economic considerations. Fashion, demands for decorated or non-decorated architecture, trends in high style architecture, changing lifestyles, changing attitudes to families, and households are identified as determinants of style. The importance of cultural diffusion from the Old and the New Worlds, and increasing and accelerating internationalism are clearly evident in the human landscape. Local and national State intervention in the provision of housing contributed significantly to specific period-styles. Technical innovations have not determined, but have influenced housing styles. They include the available construction materials, and developments associated with the 'machine age' and the production of new materials.
The infilling of the original one acre rectangular allotments, with new housing between the settler cottages is explored under five period headings. These are the nineteenth century, the villa period, the bungalow period, the standard New Zealand house period, and the last two decades. Infilling brought a gradual intensification of housing with time and an interesting pastiche of juxtaposed houses. The evolution of the pattern of survey and subdivision is traced from the 1864 surveyed design to the present day pattern. Based on tradition and statute, concerted division created smaller and smaller rectangular sections.
The research has drawn upon four forms of data: literature, field data, maps photographs and files, and informal contact with members of the local community. Every one of the more than 2000 houses and flats in the suburb was surveyed for age, style, and other characteristics. Valuation New Zealand files, survey plans, many other historical and contemporary maps, aerial photographs, old photographs, statutes and trade directories were used to compile a detailed record about each of the more than 50 residential blocks, comprising nearly 400 acres (162 hectares) of land.
Hamilton East may be seen as a microcosm of New Zealand experience in its subdivision design, road patterns, the processes of infilling and house styles. The provenance of the stylistic and spatial characteristics of housing and sections is articulated as human constructions, determined not by physical circumstances but by people
Hamilton Decompositions Of Block-Intersection Graphs Of Steiner Triple Systems
No full textBlock-intersection graphs of Steiner triple systems are considered. We prove that the block-intersection graphs of non-isomorphic Steiner triple systems are themselves non-isomorphic. We also prove that each Steiner triple system of order at most 15 has a Hamilton decomposable block-intersection graph. 1 Introduction All graphs considered in this paper are finite and have no loops or multiple edges. By V (G) and E(G) we denote the vertex set and edge set, respectively, of the graph G. A cycle is a 2-regular connected graph. A Hamilton cycle in a graph G is a 2-regular connected spanning subgraph of G. A Hamilton decomposition of a regular graph G consists of a set of Hamilton cycles (plus a 1-factor if \Delta(G) is odd) of G such that these cycles (and the 1-factor when \Delta(G) is odd) partition the edges of G. If G has a Hamilton decomposition, it is said to be Hamilton decomposable. A Steiner triple system (S; B) of order n consists of a set B of blocks, each being a 3-subset ..
Guidebook for Pre-conference North Island Field Trip A1 ‘Ashes to Issues’, 28-30 November, 2008
No full textWelcome to New Zealand or Aotearoa – „Land of the long lingering day [twilight]‟ – and to our three-day pre-conference North Island field trip „Ashes and Issues‟. We trust your stay in New Zealand is both informative and friendly and there is something for everyone on the trip. The itinerary in brief and a map of the North Island showing the main scientific stops are shown above. At the time of guidebook preparation, we have a group of 23, including four students, on the tour with participants from Japan, Taiwan, USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand. The tour leaders are Prof David Lowe (Univ. of Waikato, Hamilton) and Dr Haydon Jones (Scion Research, Rotorua). Assistant leader is Prof Paul McDaniel (Univ. of Idaho, Moscow), on leave at the Univ. of Waikato July-December, 2008. We offer a warm welcome to you all. Because we have considerable distances to travel (especially Day 3), as well as a range of stops planned, we will need to leave the hotel at 8.00 am each day
