Hamilton Highlights 1958
No full textThe annual publication of the students of Hamilton Junior High, Lethbridge, Alberta.(1957-58)pdfe To You
The production of a yearbook is no easy task and as v:e scan this edition I am certain that all readers would want to join me in saying "Thank you" to Mr. Dick, Mr. Robin, Mr. Saint and Mr. Watson. Many hours have been spent by these teachers and others to give our students a tangible and lasting record of life in the Hamilton Junior High School for 1957-58.
It is the hope of every staff member that you have become a better citizen by the training you have received and that you will be the better enabled to make a worthwhile contribution to society. So frequently do we hear the statement that you will be the future rulers of the country, but this is only true in part. Unless you are willing to overcome the hurdles and obstacles in life you will not have proven your worthiness for great responsibility. Therefore let us realize that we owe society an obligation rather than society owing us. A nation :s as strong as its citizens, and let us hope that we shall continue to hold the esteemed position which our forefathers created for us.
Oliver W. Holmes penned the following grGat lines: "The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.”

Wo. the Executive of Hamilton Junior High Home and School, feel that the 1957-58 year has been one of the most successful years since we have had the privilege of working in this organization. Programs have been exceptional and attendance has boon above average.
The highlight of the year was the success of the plebiscite, regarding the new addition to Hamilton. This proved the people of Lethbridge are in favor of bettering education for all, not just a few. V/e would like to thank all the people who worked so hard in putting this plebiscite over.
The teachers and pupils of Hamilton are always willing to assist whenever asked to help make Home and School Meetings successful. V/e certainly appreciate the co-operation v/e get at this school.
We hope the parents will continue to give their support to the Home and School Association. Only through their help can the new executive for the coming year, bring you the programs and give you the things you wish for the betterment of your child's educaton at this school.
Please come out to next year's meetings and see for yourself v/hat goes on at Hamilton Junior High and what a fine teaching staff there is available to teach your children. They are always happy and willing to discuss Johnny's and Mary’s problems.
Good luck to the Hamilton Junior High School in all its future years.

Another year has rolled around and now it is time ior the Hamilton Highlights to go to press. Throughout Canada and the United States junior and senior high schools have been scenes oi feverish activity for the past few months. Graduating students have posed before cameras with the hope that their pictures will make them appear more mature than they really are. Youthful editors have aged prematurely when articles did no! appear on time. Student typists have used up innumerable erasers correcting the many mistakes that seem to appear on completed manuscripts. Finally the yearbooks have rolled from the printing presses, students have gathered autographs from all their colleagues, even from teachers who were responsible for the many detentions which students are prone to collect.

Then years later when the students are older, certainly more experienced and perhaps wiser, the yearbooks will come out on a rainy evening and be read with an ever-increasing absorption. Faces long forgotten will be recalled and incidents of long ago will livo again. Studc-nts will remember that in i9S8 Hamilton had a student body of 560, that there wore only 5,300 students in the Lethbridge Public School System, and that was the year that Hamilton got its new auditorium. Perhaps when memories are relived more than one student will express the opinion that "1 am glad that 1 was a student of the Hamilton Junior High."

It is with mixed feelinqs that you prepare to leave Hamilton. You all have thoughts of the many pleasant associations you have made during the past three years. These are memories that will never leave you. These memories are a part of our education, for what is education if it is not the sum of our experiences? We only become truly educated when wo evaluate our experiences and profit from the lessons we have learned from these experiences.
Our future paints a very rosy picture for us. We are a part of a growing and expanding court- iry,a land of youth. Our country urgently needs leaders who will blaze the trails to the glorious opportunities ofiered to us.. Whether your goal in life is honor and prestige, wealth, or happiness; the future v/ill offer any or all of these to you.
You can take advantage of these offers if you have a goal in life. A goal will make life worthwhile and give you a set of value. A sense of achievement and happiness will also be yours. School will help give you a goal in life. There are three stages in our education before university. You have met the challenge of the first two — elementary and junior high school — but the third stage is needed. Can you meet the challenge of high school?
As you pass through the journey o: life, never be satisfied with the average in life. You never build up if you are content to be average. Wo need men and women of vision who can load us on and upward to greater things.
This then is my plea to you. Do not be content with the average, and set your goal in life.
EDITORIAL
CLASS HISTORY
The pages are fast closing on another school year, bringing many related events such as the editing of Hamilton Highlights '58. The month of june is a time of varied activities—exams, graduation and fond farewells. Many of you still have a year or two of Junior High School life ahead of you. I would suggest that you use these years wisely. Hamilton Junior High offers fun as well as education and i: properly utilized can assure you of a firm foundation for future experiences.

The teachers have invested in you the best of their knowledge. May this investment pay off in dividends of happiness and success in the com- I years. Let us romember that education is the key to progressive development.

Hamilton Highlights 1961
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.
Q
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.

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.

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.
To the graduating students we wish you well and hops you will work hard io make your future a success. We trust the present Grade Seven and Eight students have successfully completed their grades and are moving tc a higher goal.
All readers of this Annual will want to say, "Thank you" to Mr. Watson, Vice-Principal, Mr. W. D. Knill and the students who helped to < pile. Mr. Knill and Mr. Watson have worked long and hard to produce^ a very fine format as given here.
I should like also to thank Mr. Fruet, the photographer, who 1 unstintingly of his time and talents and never once did he refuse ox/

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.

Our teachers have had their ups and downs with us. but we're not really so bad. V/e'ro not tho quietest, best behaved class in the school, but we have the most fun.

Our school, Hamilton Junior High, is named in honor of W A. Hamilton, early Lethbridge teacher and first Superintendent of Schools for the city. We are very happy in the selection of the name and would like Mr. Hamilton to know that we hold it in high esteem. That we might know him better we print a copy of his letter to our President, Jon Tollestrup. You will want to know his age. He will be eighty-five in December of this year.
My Young Friend:
Permit me to thank you, and, through you, your classmates of Grade IX for the privilege of being a guest at your Graduation Banquet.
I enjoyed your good dinner and was proud to see your appreciation of your fine teachers and to hear their high hopes of your success.
Education is not altogether an individual matter. The community which supplies the means expects to be repaid in good citizenship.
Kindly accept the small contribution enclosed for your class funds.
I join with your many friends in wishing clear heads and high courage for your examinations.
Sincerely yours,
W A. HAMILTON.

Again, as the year ends we find another group of students leaving our halls. This is in accord with the March of Progress and unless we are able to improve we do not achieve our objectives in life.
The Staff of the Hamilton Junior High School has labored hard to assist in equipping you to meet life’s trials and you have responded well. I am certain that you will remember our school and state with pride that you attended it. Likewise, we shall watch the progress of each and every one of our graduates and be proud of the fact that we had a small share in building the road of success which all of you may travel if you so choose.
A thought for all of us to consider was so well phrased by Horace Mann:
“Lost yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever”
Hamilton Junior High School Graduates we are proud of you and hope you will continue to propound the ideals which we have tried to instil. The best of luck in your adventures and may God be with you all.“TtiAfonty <y£ ^.et&faUctpe Sc6aol&
The Lethbridge public school system is sixty-two years old. In April of 1886, Mr. B. L. Latimer started teaching the public school classes in a small cottage near the present Canadian Pacific roundhouse. At that time there were no grades. There were four forms for the first eight years of school. For the first five years the school population grew very rapidly. In 1887 a three-roomed building was built on the site of the new Royal Bank. A few years later a six-roomed brick school was erected on the present Central grounds, and in 1891 a two-roomed building was started near the present Westminster School. Evidently most of the pupils stopped school at the end of form four as there were only eight students in the high school in 1894.
The early ’90’s was a period of hard times because of the dry years. It was not until irrigation water reached Lethbridge in 1900 that it began to grow. Inside of ten years the population tripled. Westminster, Central, Fleetwood, Bowman and Galbraith were built. In 1911, W A. Hamilton, the man for whom this school was named, became superintendent. Hard times brought on by World War I halted all new school construction. It was not until 1928 that the present Hamilton Junior High building was erected. It was gutted by fire in 1929 but was soon rebuilt. After being occupied by the Collegiate for over twenty years, it became the Junior High School. Because it is not large enough for our junior high school population, the Wilson Junior High School is being built for the north side students. Although the new school will have the same general appearance as the Allan Watson School, it will be somewhat larger. In addition to the ten classrooms, there will be typing, home economics and shop rooms. The auditorium will be large enough for community use.
At the present time there are one hundred and fifteen teachers on the staff. By the time the present grade nine students have finished high school, the school population which now numbers nearly three thousand, three hundred, will have increased by a thousand. Lethbridge is a city of boys and girls.

G RLS' CLUBFront Row—Mr. George Watson, Doreen Schwietzer, Joy Dalton, Wilfred Salter, Jerry Kirchner, Ray Wheeler, Don Christianson, George Draffin, Jerry Sinclair.
Seecond Row—Shirley Slawson, Marie Whitehorn, Lynne Bennett, Pamela Russell, Joanne Workman, Loretta Comstock, Shirley Service, Donna Glock, Bob Emery.
Third Row—John Coyle, Joan Larson, Amy Nakamura, Pat Boyles, Rosalind Eritsland, Doreen Gelfond, Ross Stafford, George Robinson.
Fourth Row—Robert Vaughn, Clark Neville, Eddy Dietrich, Jack Irvine, Jim Lepp, Roy Gelleny, Terry Dafoe, Harold Jensen, Bill Blacker.
Missing—Dawn Bodard, Ken Glover.
Room 27! A lucky room the only room to have the principal, Mr. Miller, for a teacher, and the vice-principal, Mr. Watson, for a room teacher.
Mr. Miller Science - a delightful subject.
Mr. Watson Mathematics What a subject! Remember the teacher, yes the subject, no.
Everyone agreed, though, that we had the finest group of kids in the school such as Rosalind Eritsland, winner of the Knights of Pythias Home Economics Scholarship for Grade 8. She can cook like Amy Nakamura; she can scrub like Pat Boyles, and she can sew a straight seam the way Shirley Slawson says she does.
After suffering our room’s horrible essays throughout the year, our English teacher was “knocked for a loop” when the Fire Prevention essay contest was won by Room 27’s Pamela Russell and Lynne Bennett.
One of the treasurers of the Students’ Council, Joan Larson, and the president and vice- president of Girls’ Club all hail from Room 27. Among our classmates are distinguished singers like Joy Dalton, Roy Gelleny (?) and Donna Glock, and many fine pianists.
Yes, Room 27 of 1951-52 had all kinds of people in it, ranging from Stafford, Robinson and Draffin, men of science, to Lepp, Vaughn and Emery, men of woman.
Though Loretta Comstock and Joanne Workman have never been awarded silver medals for non-stop gabbing, they certainly should be rewarded with something better than detention. They might even compete with Sir Terrence Dafoe, who, at present, is the Hamiltonian champ.
Taking high honors in the French field are Monsieur Raymond Wheeler, Mademoiselle Joysephine Burnett and Kenneth Glovierre. while our sports-minded friend is Jerry Sinclair (also our room representative), and Shirley Service and Muscles Irvine, but we’re not quite sure what type Harold (it wasn’t me) Jensen and Wilfred (it was so!) Salter are. Adding to the room’s morale were Dawn Bodard—queen of the tumbling mats and Doreen “Full of Fun” Gelfond.
With the help of John Coyle and Don Christianson, Bill Blacker is gradually winning his way to fame by having excellentFront Row—W J. White, Larry Bannerman, Norma Scargill, Alfreda Kirk, Gladys Makarenko, Kay Greaves, Tom Zasadny, Leonard George, Frederick Dyck.

Third Row—Jack Carter, Kay Jamieson, Joan Paterson, Evelyn Burns, Marlene Leier, Eleanor Podborski, Helen Gaetz, Vern Graham, Jerry McTravis.
Back Row—Jack Leitch, Fred Babki, Carolyn Loose, Ken Furgason, Joliene Furgason, Lenora Deglau, Brian Wilks, Max Fugman, Fred Pysh.

Z’s for Zasadny, a leader you’ll see.
Before Grade Nine we really didn’t have much of an idea what our chosen occupation would be. But, as Mr. White says, “Variety is the spice of life,” and upon interviewing our class we found that this is true of ambitions, also. The students in Room 31 were very fortunte in receiving Mr. White as our room teacher and also for a science and mathematics teacher.
Many students have changed their ambitions often but some have a goal and are
working towards it. Evelyn Burns wants to be a physical education teacher at the YMCA, it’s much more fun than the YWCA. Carolyn Loose and Helen Gaetz have hopes of one day being stenographers for that famous scientist, Barry Clark. Then, of course, there are girls like Gladys Makarenko who wants to be a dental nurse to get to the root of things.
Now we can turn to the more artistic type of student like Brian Wilks, whose talents include working with copper and leather, as well as being an accomplished pianist. One young lady, Lenora Deglau, may be undecided now; but there are fields open to her when the decision is to be made. In the future the Canadian Air Force will be commanded by Air Marshal George, if Leonard George’s hopes are fulfilled.
Many sports and hobbies are represented in Room 31. Max Fugman spends most of his spare time playing ping-pong. One never knows, he may be headed for the Davis Cup.
A very rare hobby has Martha Mehrer; she writes poems. CGIT has proven interesting to Joan Paterson, who has decided to become prominent in this field. Most celebrities were quiet in their youth. This is true of Jack Leitch, who is not a celebrity yet, but we are confident that he will be someday.Front Row—Mr. Sillito, Carol Simmonds, Evelyn Rowley, Aldea Murrell, Carol Watson, Shirley Hovey, Betty Swintori, Blanche Kawasoye, Henry Eklund.

Will always have good friends en masse.
ROBERT MORRIS
Tall and handsome, dark of eye,

Fourth Row—Robert Powell, Steve Reithman, Ralph Harris, Hajime Maeno, Bob Murphy, Donald Brady, Ken Ashcroft.
Clara Agisheff is our quiet girl,
Marlene Archibald looks nice with her hair in a furl.
Lanky Ken Ashcroft oft adds to our fun.
And Alvin Bolokoski cracks with some funny pun.
Don Brady contributes to the pleasant atmosphere,
But our own Vernon Brown makes you feel that you like it here.
Libs Cameron, Ah! Our fair lassy is she,
Inga Ciesla joins in the fun and the glee.
Lyla Davis, the girl with the charm,
And I’m sure our Shirley Delmark would do no one harm.
Cornelia Dogterom has a scholarship under her nail,
But DeAnn Ellis is close on her tail.
Dorothy Flak looks nice in corduroy shorts,
And Willie Golia is interested in all kinds of sports.
Frances Graham is the one to run and jump.
And you will never see Ruth Halverson slump.
Ralph Harris is quite the lad;
Our friend Gerald Hart is never sad.
Anthony Jarvie is a spirit in the room;
Gerald Johanson is an all-round sport, that we can assume.
Hajime Maeno is a very good student;
Valerie Masson’s work no one will try to prevent.
Bob Murphy, the boy with features fair and light,
And Robert Powell is almost always right.
Steve Riethman, the fellow with the brain,
While Howard Ritchie, his mind doesn’t have to strain.
Willa Rose, the girl with the smile;
Yvonne Simpson has been charming all the while.
Pat Soanes, quite delightful is she,
While Cathie Stead can almost fly through the air. Wheel
Jon Tollestrup, the president of us all;
Shirley Urban doesn’t shirk from her duties at all.
Jeanette Willetts helps us see the comical view;
Fred Wuotila says his part old or new.
Ralph Wyton ,our faithful man;
Juanita Zasadny no one would her from Anything ban.Front Row—Anne Smella, Betty Henderson, Betty-Lou Walker, Barbara Challenger, Florence Vanderlelie, Delores Fitzpatrick, Gordon Morrison, Ronald Ellis.
Second Row—Betty Stauffer, Romola Dray, Clarence Heggedal, Gayl Fletcher, Sheila Price, Donna Stevenson, George Parker, Earl Shields, Don Schumaker.
Third Row—Hazel Coltart, Milton McCrea, Alvin Deal, Naomi Charles, Phyllis Meaker, Ethel Olson, Bob Fraser.
Fourth Row—Jack Jamieson, Albert McGarty, Maureen Warren, Elsie Reed, Bette Johnston, Jack Randle.
Fifth Row—Mr. McKenzie, Ronald Johnson, Arthur Dietrich, Jack Ikle, Ralph Lloyd, Earl Rose.
Room 24 spent the first month getting acquainted, after which we organized an Executive, consisting of Sheila Price as President, Jack Randle as Vice-President, Romola Dray as Secretary-Treasurer. This we felt was one of the best. A Planning Committee including the executive, in addition to Anne Smella, Ralph Lloyd and Earl Rose, was one step towards improving the room.
A new idea of a Conduct and Attitude Sheet was introduced in the hope of aiding self-discipline. During a class period while discussing this sheet we were privileged to have Mr. Aldrich, Provincial Supervisor of Guidance, in attendance.
The contributions Room 24 made toward school spirit were numerous. Taking our part in the March of Pennies and the ticket sale for the school plays, we made a commendable contribution. The climax of our assembly was reached when the doctor had to use a stomach pump on Jack Ikle because he gorged himself on cat pie.
In Room 24 there were actors, actresses, baseball players, singers, pranksters, musicians, those who made low marks look even lower, and a wonderful room teacher, Mr. McKenzie. Each one played his part in making possible a happy and successful school year.
Betty Henderson can really tumble,
She never slips or makes a fumble.
Anne Smella has set her heart On being very good at art.
Milt McCrea, our Scotch red-head,
Is a genius with the pipes, ’tis said.
Don Shumaker is a hockey star,
And in this field he should go far.
Jack Randle is the loyal kind,
A fellow like him is hard to find.
Earl Shields builds model planes,
That even fly when e’er it rains.
If you need some really good clothes,
Just ask Clarence Heggedal, he knows.
Earl Rose from Calgary came,
It was their loss and our gain.
Donna Stevenson with fingers so light,
Plays the piano to our delight.
Romola Dray, cheerful, earnest and quick to act,
A sense of humor she’ll never lack.
Jack Jamieson is a healthy fellow,
He says it’s because he plays the “cello” Ralph Lloyd, a musician is,
At trumpet playing quite a whiz.Top Row—Mr. Gordon, Doug Oland, Larry Imeson, Karen Mortensen, Merl Suehwold, Ron Milton, Paddy Kearns.

HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA^aiedicta'iy
As the end of June draws near, the end of our school careers in Hamilton Junior High draws to a close also. Looking back over the past two school terms will bring to our minds interesting hours of learning, enjoyable hours of sport, our dances and parties, and our various clubs. All these and individual remembrances have been molded together to make our time spent in this school unforgettable. Perhaps we don’t fully realize how fortunate we are to attend such a wonderful school; perhaps we don’t realize all the opportunities that we have had available to us, opportunities of greater knowledge, chances of making new friends from all over Lethbridge, having the help and guidance of a wonderful staff of teachers available to us. These things we took for granted along with the splendid work of our Students’ Council. No one can deny the fact that the Council has done its very best in looking after the affairs of Hamilton’s students, and its success can be seen in the new P.A. system so recently installed. But even if we hadn’t left the P.A. system to remind future classes of the Grade 9’s of ’51-’52, we will still leave a little part of our school
spirit and a little of the tradition that we helped to build.
In the years to come, we will continue our education in the L.C.I. Here we can choose fields of study in line with our interests, such as the Commercial course for those who wish to enter the “Business World”, the Academic course for those who wish to go on through university, the shop course for those who are interested in mechanics, and making things, or for those who are going to make a living with their hands; and then there is a course in general study, for those who just wish to get their Grade 12 diploma.
Surely all of us realize the importance of education in this modern age of ours
Resuscitation fluids
No full textBackground and Objectives: The aim of this review was to summarize the properties of the commonly available resuscitation fluids and highlight where knowledge of the characteristics of individual fluids might guide their use in clinical practice. Some of the current controversies surrounding resuscitation fluids are also discussed. Blood or blood products, or strategies of fluid administration, are not focused upon. Conclusions: The clinical trial data does not support the concept of a therapeutic advantage for either crystalloids or colloids, despite claimed theoretical advantages for both classes of fluid. The available colloid solutions have quite distinct profiles of activity, both in terms of their plasma volume expansion profile and other physiological and pharmacological properties.

Transient ischaemic attacks: Assessment and management
No full textBACKGROUND: Transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) can be challenging to diagnose, but early assessment and effective management can reduce the subsequent risk of stroke. OBJECTIVE: This article reviews the assessment and management of TIAs for general practitioners. DISCUSSION: Transient ischaemic attacks can be a trap for the unwary, with difficulty in making a diagnosis and varied assessment and management pathways. There is a significant risk of subsequent stroke. Early assessment and initiation of treatment, which can take place in the general practice setting, could lower the risk of stroke. Liaising with regional stroke care centres is required to establish an optimal pathway of care.Elaine S Leung, M Anne Hamilton-Bruce, Simon A Kobla
The ClC-KbT481S chloride channel gene polymorphism, ischaemic stroke and hypertension
Full text linkStroke is a polygenic disorder. Previous genetic studies focused on candidate genes influencing pathogenic processes, with little emphasis on genes influencing vascular risk factors. Previous research linked the ClC-KbT481S poly- morphism to blood pressure (BP). We therefore undertook an association study to determine the relevance of this poly- morphism to stroke, particularly lacunar stroke, given its strong correlation with hypertension. We genotyped DNA from 180 patients with acute ischaemic stroke (44 having lacunar stroke) and 298 age- and gender-matched controls using a se- quence-specific polymerase chain reaction method (SS-PCR). We found no association between the ClC-KbT481S poly- morphism and ischaemic stroke (Odds Ratio (OR): 0.87, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.57-1.33). Stratification for stroke subtype did not alter this finding. This polymorphism showed a borderline association with history of hypertension (p=0.06) but was not associated with systolic or diastolic BP (p>0.05). To our knowledge there are no other studies pub- lished on this polymorphism and stroke.J. Jannes, M.A. Hamilton-Bruce, A. Milton, S.A. Kobla
