An analytic approximation for the critical clearing time (CCT) metric is derived from direct methods for power system stability. The formula has been designed to incorporate as many features of transient stability analysis as possible such as different fault locations and different post-fault network states. The purpose of this metric is to analyze trends in stability (in terms of CCT) of power systems under the variation of a system parameter. The performance of this metric to measure stability trends is demonstrated on an aggregated power network, the so-called two machine infinite bus network, by varying load parameters in the full bus admittance matrix using numerical continuation. The metric is compared to two other expressions for the CCT which incorporate additional nonlinearities present in the model

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 value to students and congruence with school and community objectives. Again, thanks to our Yearbook Committee and their advisor, Mr. Hart, for another quality production. ^^•■■■•■■■^■■■■■■■••HMrtMMMMHMIHM^_ __^____i___-_^_i—_— 67 Science: L. to R: Del Cleland, Rex Anderson, Dale Lusk, Dick Robinson, and Ken Lawson.

He became one of the greatest statesmen in world history. Churchill reached the height of his fame as the heroic prime minister of Great Britain during World War II. Churchill was also a noted speaker, author, painter, soldier, and war reporter. Sir Winston Churchill's personal courage, the magic of his words, and his faith in victory inspired the British to "their finest hour. " The mere sight of this stocky, determined man - a cigar in his mouth and two fingers raised high in a "V for victory" salute - cheered the people. Churchill not only made history, he also wrote it. As a historian, war reporter, and biographer, he showed a matchless command of the English language. In 1953, he won the Nobel prize for literature. Churchill entered the service of his country in 1895 as an army lieutenant under Queen Victoria. He ended his career in 1964 as a member of the House of Commons under Queen Elizabeth II, the great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Few men ever served their country so long or so well. Important Dates in Churchill's Life 1874 (Nov. 30) Born in Oxfordshire, England. 1895 Graduated from Royal Military College. 1901 Entered House of Commons. 1908 (Sept. 12) Married Clementine Hozier. 1911 Appointed first lord of the admiralty. 1915 Resigned from the admiralty. 1939 Appointed first lord of the admiralty. 1940 Became prime minister of Great Britain. 1945 Became leader of the opposition. 1951 Became prime minister of Great Britain. 1953 Knighted. Won Nobel prize for literature. 1955 Retired as prime minister. 1963 Made honorary citizen of the United States. 1964 Retired from House of Commons. 1965 (Jan. 24) Died from stroke.^cljoal ®oard Mr. J.

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

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

S. ^akdktorg ^Message Madame Chairman, honored guests, parents, and fellow students: Graduation is a word that has several connotations or meanings. Each person thinks of graduation in different terms. To the student, graduation is a time of celebration, now that he is truly on his own in the adult world. He is also apprehensive of the future, not knowing what lies ahead. The parents are proud-- proud that their child, who started school only yesterday (so it seems), has achieved this momentous step in his life. With this proudness, the parents feel a little remorse and have a few misgivings about their child now having the chance to make his own in life. Teachers are happy at graduation--happy that we students finally made it out of Grade Twelve. The twelve years of schooling before graduation have been compared to the climbing of a previously unconquered mountain, to the arduous plight of a small boat which eventually reaches harbor after being caught in a storm at sea, and to the journey of an explorer, who, following years of diligent search, finally attains his goal. Graduation is all these and more. Each graduate has a different concept of graduation. But they all have one thing in common; namely, each encountered snares and pitfalls as he struggled toward his goal--graduation. Tonight marks the leaving of a familiar way of life and heralds the beginning of a new way of life. During the first years of our lives, our teachers and parents have bravely attempted to instill some knowledge in us, the students. They realized the importance of our school years, for upon them depends the future. We students ofte fail to realize this until it is too late. Graduation is only the first small hill in a range of goals, tasks, and achievements. The hills will become mountains with steeper slopes and wider precipices. But these obstacles ol the adult world need not be feared; we have only to apply the skills of learning and reasoning garnered in the pas twelve years to find a solution to these problems. Not every oneofuswillbean Einstein or a Rockefeller, but we graduates must endeavour to make somethin! of ourselves according to our individual abilities. Never has a generation had so much to look forward to, to anticipate. These anticipations will only be realized if we, tomorrow's society, make it so. Herein lies our responsibility to man and to God. We may fail in fulfilling some of our goals and responsibilities. But the values of life should not be measured by material success. If we have done our best in an honest and truthful manner, we need not be ashamed of our failures. Tomorrow we take our place in the world where we must either learn and work by ourselves or fail. Life is now our school; may it be as happy and rewarding an experience as our school years have been. Ron Friesen Valedictorian ^ardxtcll— The pupils and teachers of W.R. Myers High School were very distressed recently, to learn of Mr. Jepson's departure from Taber at the end of the present school term. In the two years that Mr. Jepson was with us, he advanced the status and well-being of pupils and teachers alike. His wise counsel, sound judgment, keen insight and delightful sense of humor instilled a sense of confidence and purpose in the entire school. Never was morale as high as during his principalship! Mr. Jepson came to us from Cold Lake, Alberta where he was vice-principal and principal for five years. He took most of his schooling in Manchester, England which accounts for most of his old world charm. He is quite fluent in French and Spanish among many other personal accomplishments. It is with a sincere sense of loss that we wish Mr. and Mrs. Jepson happiness and success in the former's new position as Superintendent with the Department of Education.

Our illustrious vice-principal has been with us for three years, during which time he has endeared himself with his patient understanding and friendly interest in the academic and personal problems of even the most undeserving pupil. His Scottish burr, lively wit and cheerful disposition have brightened the lives of many in our school. Mr. Small's influence was felt throughout the community -- in the Kiwanis Club and church activities, to mention two areas. The Small family came from Selkirk, Scotland where Mr. Small was instructor in science for five years. Needless to say, he brought much that was new and inspiring from Scotland to Taber. Mr. Small enrolled in graduate study in the University of Alberta at Edmonton under a Department of Education sponsored superintendency fellowship. We all wish him and his family success and happiness in this new undertaking. fldnwui/u^ School 'j&omcI BACK ROW: Mr. J. B. Percevault - superintendent, Mr. L. Wright, Mr. H. Anderson, Mr. T.

With examinations and marks, year-end reports and textbooks, yearbook pages and house cleaning, we are looking forward to the end of the term and the holidays. We also are looking back over a rather peaceful year in which much has been accomplished. A few of our students have proven themselves academically by winning scholarships and prizes, a few of our students have already established themselves in employment, but the vast majority of our students look on the year as another milestone successfully completed on the road to a lifelong career. May I suggest that sometimes there is too much emphasis placed on looking to the future and not enough on the here and now. If all of us would put forth our best effort to get today's job done with the greatest possible degree of excellence, the tomorrow would look after itself. To illustrate: if each student would attack each day's lessons with a fired-up zeal, if every day were counted as an opportunity to learn, then the writing of .examinations or the future of building a career would be well taken care of. This applies to us as teachers, too. If each of us were to teach each day's lessons with a striving for perfection, with a determination to make each minute count, with an energetic drive that would inspire our colleagues and our students, then our concerns about learning course content, about developing attitudes to work, about good examples set - these would all be accomplished. If all of us, both students and teachers worked as if each day's tasks were the all-important issue, then our dreams would come true and W. R. Myers School would become one of the best high schools in Alberta with an enviable scholastic record and an atmosphere of friendly cordiality. Only by concentrating on the present can we make the future materialize. On behalf of the staff, may I congratulate the graduating class on reaching this pinnacle of achievement. Our sincere wishes for your continued success go with you as you leave this institution to build your own careers. Many other groups of students also deserve recognition - the yearbook committee, the Students' Unions, the Key and Keyette Clubs, the sports teams, and the numerous student clubs. A great many people have contributed to the success of this year. An all-inclusive vote of thanks and congratulations to all. J. L. George Principal Mrs. J. Allen Miss H.

Wood Qi^-^wj^^i, Wum^ This summer approximately 20% of Alberta School teachers will be leaving their jobs; some to return to University, some to enter the world of commerce, some to retire, but most simply moving to a different school unit. Finding myself in the ranks of migrant teachers I am prompted to examine the implications of such upheavals for schools such as our own. To some uninformed, ahigh staff turn-over may be interpreted as a symptom of malaise within the school's administration, but this is often a false conclusion. In fact a high turn-over may be the result of stimulated prbfessional ambition arising in a school where teacher talents are identified and nurtured, and new opportunities revealed. In other cases the movement of teachers is for personal reasons quite divorced from professional considerations; and in rural school divisions it is part of the general sociological trend of population migration to the cities. In short the reasons behind teaching staff turn-over are more significant than the numbers involved. Allowing that a high staff turn-over may mean increasing opportunities for teachers, the question remains of the effect of such apparent instability on the students. Their interests are fundamental to a school's existence and must never be relegated to a position of secondary consideration. But does turnover necessarily correlate with instability and reduced educational offerings? The answer to this is revealed by the fact that many progressive centres of learning have planned discontinuity from a policy of short-term staff appointments. Thus fresh thinking is brought to old problems, and stagnation is never a concern. Such a school or college is not the most peaceful of sanctuaries, but the concept of education as secluded contemplation and study was lost in the Renaissance. The modern version of an efficient school, awake to the challenge of the future, is one functioning just within its "tolerance of turbulence", and it is the duty of the school's administration to find and live up to its tolerance level rather than to promote a comfortable, undisturbed school climate. Thus a high turn-over of young teachers is potentially beneficial to them, and also to the schools they serve providing that suitable replacements are available. In the event that I have given the impression that the panacea for a school's ills is an unstable staff let me now point out that there is a distinction between turbulence and chaos, and between the two stands a sound administration and a permanent core of superior teachers--our school has both. It sometimes vexes me when our departing staff members receive the accolades while those who give continuous service for many years appear to get little recognition. They have less tangible rewards perhaps, but rewards which are just as meaningful: the satisfactions of a job well done. To these teachers in particular I wish to express my appreciation of their helpful reception three years ago, and to all teachers and students my thanks for the opportunity of working in your midst and for the many pleasurable experiences shared with you. Finally I wish Mr. George, Mr. Semaka and Mr. Francis success in their endeavours. Under their guidance this school, like the town, has an assured future. Make the most of its opportunities! James M.

Throughout the year of 1965-66 we've had the co-operation and help of the Junior High students in all our functions. The dances which we have had have all been successes. The Valentine Sweetheart Prom had the biggest turnout with 265 students in attendance. The Centennial Dance for the flagpole was also supported by the Junior High and was well attended. The Rodeo Queen Dance for Marilyn Christie had the best turnout for both Junior and Senior High with an attendance of 352. Our End of the Year Dance was held on May 28 and was one of our best functions. The many projects we've had have all been supported to the fullest. The Centennial Room Projects alone gave the Junior High good reason to be proud as over $100 was turned in. The Junior High strongly supported Marilyn as Rodeo Queen by selling tickets and turning out to all the projects planned. In closing, I would like to say that I appreciated all the support and help the Junior High has given me and the council to make this Students' Union Year of 1965-66, One to Remember.

The annual publication of the students of W. R. Myers High School Taber, Alberta. (Volume 1971-1972)pdfW.R.

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

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

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Congratulations to the Yearbook editor and her committee for the effort made to bring another edition of the Yearbook to fruition. Too often, only the members of the committee realize the hours of work that are essential to the production of a yearbook. The remainder of the student body too often take the yearbook for granted. I would like to give some recognition to the unsung heroes on the Yearbook committee. Preserved here between the covers of this book is the history of a year at W. R. Myers School. Besides the pictures of the individual students, the yearbook tells the story of our academic, athletic and cultural accomplishments. It is a treasure well worth preserving. At this time, no one needs to be reminded that 1967 is Canada's Centennial Year. The communications media blat the message at us from every angle. Our town has good reason to take pride in the establishment of the Confederation Park in whose centre stands the flag pole which the Myers students had erected. We should take pride, not only in our local accomplishments, but also those of a national nature. In one hundred years our nation has made phenomenal progress. Each one of us has an obligation to learn the history and development of our heritage and we have a responsibility as citizens to make our contribution to the nations on-going progress. May I take this opportunity, on behalf of all the staff, to offer congratulations to the members of the graduating class and our best wishes for your continued success in whatever line of work you may choose.

Do you remember that first day at school? Your mother took you by the hand, led you into a room full of pictures and scrubbed faces, and - told you that you were a "big girl now” and then left you. Looking across the aisle you could see another "big girl now. " The tears were rolling down her cheeks so you didn't have to feel bad about the quiver in your bottom lip. After those first days things improved. Parties, Christmas pageants, school festivals and a generous sprinkling of knowledge throughout the elementary grades, all helped to expand our little minds. Back in those days we loved our teachers and hated the opposite sex. In grade seven, students from L. T. Westlake, Dr. Hammon, and Central School congregated at Myers to begin their Junior High years. Through some mysterious change in nature we now fell in love with the opposite sex and took our hate out on the teachers. Grade nine marked the first real testing point that began to shape our High School years and our futures as adults; that of Departmental Examinations. It was alarming to realize that our High School years depended so much on how well we did on those exams. Upon entering Grade ten we found that "aliens" from Barnwell had invaded; and after being fondly welcomed into Myers School at Initiation, we began our High School Years. Happiness, sadness, fright, boredom, excitement, depression - every possible feeling has been experienced by a student in High School. And now, with mixed feelings, we have reached our graduation. It is nice to recall the past, but at this time we are also looking with promise to the future. I would like to leave you with the thought from our banquet place cards: You have all been given a bag of tools, A formless rock and a book of rules. And each must make ere life has flown- A stumbling block or a stepping stone. We, the graduates of 1967, would like to thank our parents and teachers for helping to turn our school years from stumbling blocks into stepping stones. VICKI WEST•• Brenda Braun Don Crawford Rae Enna an Ken Ito Terry Holman Ross Kunimoto Susan Leroy Diane Putici Bob Omotani Nola mith Dwaine Turnbull VALEDICTORY l onight marks the accomplishment of life’s first major goal. We graduands have proven that we were capable of accepting the many responsibilities and challenges that we have been confronted with during our years of schooling. At times we encountered embarrassing moments and failures, but we succeeded in overcoming our difficulties until now we have finally accomplished our first major achievement. Much credit, however, belongs to those adults who did so much to help us on our way. First of all, sincere thanks to our parents, who with their understanding, have guided us so well in the past and will continue to do so in the future. We are also grateful to our dedicated and patient teachers for their major part in our achievement. We must not forget our classmates for the fellowship and fun they brought into our lives. The real credit belongs in part to every person who has had some bearing on our lives. Everybody has influenced us in some way and it has been a combination of these influences that has helped to produce the high ideals present in our 1967 graduation class. .Although it seems that we have learned a vast amount, we have but just touched upon an endless storehouse of knowledge. We have much more to learn and try as we might, we can never stop learning. Still, we can justly say that we have received a firm foundation which will support us in our future endeavors. Our learning has not been just formulas and facts but consists of more important subjects. We have learned co-operation, the social graces, gratitude, respect, patience, citizenship, and honesty. But most important we have learned to get along with our fellow students, an accomplishment that is extremely important in our modern society. To us school has been much more than just a building; it has given us much, and we will be sad to leave it. The memories we have of our adolescent years will remain with us forever. Probably our fondest memories are those of our gay, carefree experiences that we shared with our classmates while in pursuit of our studies. Never again will we experience such fellowship, for soon this period of our lives will come to a close. We must accept this fate and prepare ourselves to face the future with dignity. Just as tonight marks an important milestone in our lives, this year marks an even greater milestone in the history of our country. Canada has survived her first one hundred years to become a healthy, growing nation. Similarly, we have grown and matured to our present state where we now stand on the brink of adulthood. What the next years will bring to ourselves and to our country depends upon us and the other members of our generation. In time, the responsibility of leading our communities and our country will fall upon us. We must face our duty and do our part to help determine our destiny for the good of mankind. It has been written that life is like a game of chess where there are an almost infinite number of complex moves possible. The choice is yours to make whatever move you wish, but you must keep in mind the consequences of each move. A poor move may cost the game, while a strong move will provide a basis for further development. So it is in our lives. Thus far, we have just begun our game. We all have made some foolish mistakes, but they have not been serious. It is from this time forth that we must begin to make our more important moves. The steps we take in the next few years will determine the course of our lives. The future lies ahead. Your life is yours to do with as you please. It is my sincere hope that whatever you do with your life will bring happiness and pride, not only to yourself, but also to your fellow man. ROD ADACHICLASS PROPHECY Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is Murray DePoe and Earle Cameron Wright reporting to you from the Metropolis of Taber, the site of EXPO '17 for CBC TV. Yes, it is the 2017 and the 150th anniversary of the confederation of our nation. To commemorate this gala occasion, we felt that it would be appropriate to go back in time to the year 1967, Canada's 100th anniversary, to the graduating class of the first high school in Taber. We have done this and traced the lives of all the graduates up to this day. This is what we have found: 1. GORDON SAUNDERS - a great trapeze artist gone trend setter when he reintroduced the "leotard" craze. 2, BRENDA BRAUN - sewed her way to success with the Stanfields people. 3. ROD ADACHI - used his advanced mathematics degree to successfully operate Mad Rodney's Swap Shop. 4. TERRY EVAN SON - is an unfortunate case who died of a broken heart when the circulation of paperback westerns died. 5. Two of our noted female athletes, BARBARA EVANSON and JANICE JESPERSON represented Canada at the Pan-American games. Both were unsuccessful, however. Barb lost out in the teacup juggling competitions and Janice in needle threading. Not too clumsy! 6. TERRY BROWNING - became one of the world's multimillionaires when he cashed in on his lifetime's accumulation of 91, 206, 834 Pilsner empties. 7. FEROCIOUS FRED MEYER AND ROBBY "THE ROCK" CONRAD - became the terrifying ringleaders of Hell's Angels: Taber branch. 8. KEITH ANDERSON - was worried about his hair going thin... but then who wants fat hair? 9. Miss MARG URANO - left us in 1976 when beset by one of her more serious giggling attacks. 10. CHRIS LARSON - became a lady wrestler in 1977 and gained world fame by talking her opponents into submission. 11. PAT FONG - shattered Louis Cyr's all-time weight lifting record by hefting 2 1/2 tons of Heinz's 57 varieties in promotion of the Big T. 12. TERRY BOSSERT - remained a (third-rate) grease monkey for M & R all his life. 13. HAL & ARTHUR BAREHAM Esqs. - became partners in the Florentine Charm Academy which hosted too much of the European Royality. 14. LOIS RAE ENMAN - the terror of Taber's streets, dominated the NASCAR Stock Car Racing scene till she collided with Pernelli Jones and piled up the little red V. W. 15. Enman's pit crew, LAURA SANTONI and head mechanic ESTER "TIRE WRENCH" THIESSEN - said the car was in great shape and could have gone all the way if the torus check valve hadn't over fluidized the reverse inhibitor causing the clutch cam roller to burn out the muffler bearings. (What?. . . scratch) 16. DONALD CRAWFORD - became the lawyer in demand when he sent Perry Mason and the Defenders to Alcatraz for parking violations. 17. Two of our boy graduands, MIKE VICKERY & JACK MIYADA - found fortune and fame to take their places beside the ageing Gordie Howe on Eaton's Advisory Council. Jack endorses ladies' shoe laces and things while Mike's specialty is bathroom fixtures.STAN WEISS - returned to Myers to coach the Globetrotters to a fantastic record of zero wins to 69 losses. 19. RICHARD JENSEN - studied at Olds Agricultural College and returned to Taber to grow vegetables for the cafeteria in Myers. 20. MARY ANN BUCK, SUSAN LEROY & LORRAINE LEROY - continued their great welfare work started in high school with their Saturday night mission meetings as the Celebrity Strippers in MIKE SULLIVAN'S southside beanery. Taber's little old ladies voted GREG PYNE - to be Driver of the Year for his courteous and excellent driving habits. GERALD RETI - won world acclaim for his speech to the U. N. General Assembly on measures of control regarding the population crisis in Barnwell. 23. MELVIN PETERSON & ROSS KUNIMOTO - became leading coiffures when they brought back the brush cut. 24. CORINA VAN EGTEREN - of the former surging Doublemint twins won the 1997 Oscar as Best Actress for her sparkling role in the controversial "Certs commercial". 25. HENNY VAN EGTEREN - was not to be outdone by her sister. She won the oscar as Best Supporting Actress in that same film. To this day, Henny maintains..............that "Certs is a breath mint". 26. NOLA SMITH - improved the PILL so that it now relieves not only fever and headache but it also clears the sinus. 27. DENNIS EASTHOPE and DONNA KADONAGA - entered the entertainment world and have been acclaimed the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers of the 1990's. 28. Something that everyone could see from the start, DENNIS "THE BUTCHER" FENSKE - became the notorious gangster of the dirty nineties. Dennis and his evil accomplice CAROL AUSTIN, were finally apprehended by TOM "FEARLESS FOSDICK" FILGAS. 29. MARJ SMITH - due to her skill and courage gained from driving on Taber's freeways, became top test driver for General Motors. 30. KEN ITO - returned to Myers in 1995 to present Mr. Kowlessar with his third book report. 31. GLEN BELL - became assistant trophy polisher for the Boston Bruins. 32. MARILYN MAY - ran all the A & W's out of business when she spiked Sparky's cokes with a bit of rye. To no avail, however, when BETTY HORROCKS lost all the customers with her hamburgers... Ugh! 33. Being a Queen Scout, DALE GRANT continued in the scouting tradition until he was discharged when it was found that his daily good deed was the counterfeiting of green slips and selling them at a nominal fee. 34. RANDY SEITZ - entered the world of politics. In the year 2016 he completed the arduous task of becoming chief swamp beautification officer in Lower Slobovia. 35. CHARLAINE PERCEVALUT and MARILYN KAGA - decided to spend the rest of their lives in Myers High. After 49 years of back-breaking work, they produced the impossible: an issue of the "Myer's Messenger" that satisfied everyone. 36. JOE YEE - advanced his education to such a high degree that he could answer Mr. Pinkney with something a little more intelligent than "I don't know”. 37. HENRY YEE - used his university training to become a master cook of that international dish.... pizza. 38. TERRY HOLMAN - through her fine work, rose to the highest position in the Rockefeller Center... cleaning lady on the 81st floor. 39. CAROL SMITH and BARBARA OWEN - enjoyed the small-town life so they spent their time throw-ing sugar sacks at the sugar factory. 40. RUTH CONRAD - achieved her success in the recording industry by becoming the Mrs. Miller of the 1980's. 41. Unfortunately, DWAINE TURNBULL - faded into obscurity when he had to give up his job as head bus driver due to a pot belly. 42. ROBERT FETTIG - lost his sanity upon his return to his hometown Grassy Lake. He simply couldn't adapt to that life after his wild fling as a big city playboy in Taber. 43. ROBERT OMATANI - became what else but the CBC's new Friendly Giant. 44. The three Andersons - BRIAN, BARBARA, and HEATHER, and PHYLLIS NELSON - travelled to the posh gambling area of Las Vegas and opened up a Casino named after themselves - three of a kind and a joker. 45. BRIAN BRAUN - became the successful proprietor of Braun's Used Car Sales. No need to mention who his best customer was. 46. BONNIE COWIE - finally obtained her driver's license in 1981. Taber's citizens complained, however, because of the rise in mill rate to compensate for the loss in lamp posts, fire hydrants, boy scouts and their little old ladies. 47. DIANE PUTICI and LAURA LEWIS - our two Barnwell scatterbrains tried numerous fields of endeavor but finally settled down in the good old beet field with 14 kids. 48. LINDA KEELING - our Expo hostess, lost her contact lenses in the Russian pavilion, pushed the wrong button and started World War III. 49. KATHLEEN WILDE, EDWIN WOOLLEY, AND VICKI WEST - formed the famous Hollywood trio that became the stars of the show the Wild and Wooly West. 50. GERRY JENSEN - that hardworking and brilliant student returned to teach at Taber and became the Frank Semaka of the 1990's. 51. MARILYN CHRISTIE - entered the Rodeo circuit as a steer wrestler but gave it up when a steer pinned her down with a full nelson. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is 74 of the 76 graduands of old Myers High of Taber. You may ask what has become of the other 2, and you may have guessed that they are DePoe and myself.

Looking back over the 1969- 1970 term, Myers has had a very full year. A great many improvements have gone through with the student council teacher-student committee, and newspaper only to mention a few. All these put Myers back on its feet, a step further to improvement and our goal of perfection. Still, due to approximately five percent of the students attending Myers, perfection may be a long way off. These few who couldn't care heads or tails about the school or its reputation as long as their fun isn't being ruined. This was shown on a weekend activity by those drinking on a bus during a school sponsored activity. Not only did it down-grade our school through all of Alberta but a tighter policy and strong action was set on us by the school board. Mr. George, at an assembly, explained the purpose of the policy and also the importance of us rebuilding our reputation to where it can be heard. There are many mature individuals in our school, citizens who are proud to be a member of W.R. Myers. With everyone's co-operation Myers can be a real nice school and a popular one. With the spirit I've seen exhibited by students during the Rodeo Campaigning and elections, our band's trip to Moose Jaw and Grad '79. I know it can be done. If the examples set here could be carried on next September the height of perfection wouldn't be far off. Yet, it takes the co-operation of everyone of the students, not only 25-75, but all 100% of the student body of Myers. Let's Be Proud of our school and build on to that road of perfection. In closing I would like to thank the Dawn '70 Yearbook Staff and Mr. W. Paranuik for their co-operation. To the members of the graduating class congratulations and best wishes in your future endeavours. Remember those next steps you take will lead you to the land of opportunity and success, take each step carefully, it's your world and your life, live it. BE PROUD OF YOUR GOAL!

DA WN PRESENTS OUR STAFF A THOUGHT FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE As this message for the 1969-'70 yearbook is being written, we are caught up again in the myriad of year-end activities. The last field trips, the graduation exercises, 'Open-House', the examinations and the wind-up of other events all spell finis to one school year. And long before the year is over, preparations are well under way for the next one. All students have now registered in classes of their choice in readiness for school opening in September. Upon reflection on the 1969 - '70 school year, it seems to me there has been a major emphasis on communication. Several attempts to increase communication between faculty and students were undertaken. Principal - student seminars, student - faculty committee meetings and closer liaison with student councils all have proven worthwhile in giving students an opportunity to express their opinions. Student opinions have been very useful in helping to shape policy decisions. All these efforts have resulted in better communication, better understanding and an improved atmosphere in the school. The 1969-'70 school year can also be known as one of numerous successes for Myers School. Our achievements - athletic, academic, social, musical and dramatic have been quite outstanding. We are looking forward to even greater accomplishments next year. Best wishes for success go to all the graduates as they leave Myers School to further their education or to find their place in the world of work. Sincerely J. L. George, B. Ed.

VICE-PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE This year's graduating class, like many another, is going into a very troubled world. Humanity is threatened by such a variety of dangers as pollution, over-population, poverty, inflation, racial strife, huge stockpiles of atomic armaments and the rapidly increasing use of drugs. The Prophet of doom doesn't have far to look for ammunition! Some observers of the world scene believe civilization is in danger of extinction. Even worse than the physical threat is the spiritual deterioration. Despondency, loss of faith, and hope seem to pervade the human race. What can the high school graduate going out into the world do to combat this oppressive gloom and pessimism and restrain the destructive trends. Firstly, we must realize our obligations to strive and struggle against moral and spiritual decay. The daily practice of kindness, charity, forbearance and brotherly love will do much to dispel the treat of strife on the individual, national and international scale. Are not the above mentioned virtues most conducive to personal happiness and peace of mind? In the pursuit of wealth and security many of us have failed to develop an ingrained honesty, humility and general integrity. This lack in today's adults is the source of sharp criticism from our youth who attribute the ills of the world to it. However, is the coming generation prepared to rectify the situation? Is it ready and willing to make the sacrifice of personal comfort and well-being that people near and far may also enjoy our high standard of living? Are we prepared to accept people of other races into the intimacy of our love and friendship? Christian virtue has been preached for centuries but has never been given a fair trial in wide-spread practice. In the words of the immortal Mammy Yokum - "Goodness is better than evil because it's nicer." The new morality of the present generation could well be fashioned from a more sincere form of the old, rather than a complete rejection of the latter. The young people of today are bitter about the ills and woes that they have inherited from previous generations. Will bitterness, protest marches, violences, sit-ins and animosity cure these faults? I submit that a thoughtful examination of all the accomplishments and sacrifices of today's parents would open the eyes of many of our youth. Is any useful purpose served by the enormous generation gap that seems to exist today? A spirit of understanding, friendship, and cooperation between the youth of today and its elders would be a good base to build the better new world we all pray for so fervently! World problems, such as pollution, over-population and inflation, require strenuous, concerted planning programs. Good intentions in this area are useless without some extensive analytical thinking and implementation of this sound thinking. Although these problems seem overwhelming, modern computer techniques and know-how should be equal to the task. If man is to undertake the management of outer-space, he should first put this confused and troubled old planet in order! Frank Semaka GRADS ’70 MISTRESS OF CEREMONIES REVA PLATT GUEST SPEAKER HON.

We are very thankful for their patronage. To Mr. George and all the teachers who put up with class interruptions and helped all to the best of their ability. A special thanks to our yearbook advisor, Mr. Paranuik, who helped the staff get over its roughest problems. I really would not have been able to succeed in fulfilling my position if it hadn't been for his encouragement, his ideas and his talents in keeping cheerful even with heavy deadlines to meet. An extra special thanks to the yearbook staff who spent nights at the school to meet a deadline. Thanks greatly. Also to Jim Ackerman and Adele Bonetti (St. Mary's Editor) for their co-operation. My deepest thanks and sympathy to the Night Watchman who still hasn't figured out if we really are working or what. Finally to Mr. Haberland and Mr. Cy Brown of Inter-Collegiate Press for their helpful hints and their co-operation. To each of these and everyone thanks for a wonderful year. I really enjoyed working as editor of Dawn 70. To everyone best wishes in their future endeavors. Thanks for everything, Ami KadoyamaVICE-PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE DEMOCRACY: as it has been established in our society with its rules and regulations; is based upon Judo-Christian values and principles. If this society is considered "good" then its rules and values need not and should not be changed or lowered for the small percentage, about two percent, who do not wish to adhere to them or behave accordingly. Why should the two or even five percent of the population impose their standards or lack of standards upon the rest of the people. In society at large, we hear of so many demonstrations and riots by people who object to the establishment and want things changed for their accomodation and wish to impose their way upon the vast majority. If there are matters which need changing let us change them in a manner which is based upon democratic methods rather than upon chaos and destruction, with unruly demonstration. Some modern day agitators have declared that they believe it matters not how the goal is achieved, that it's all right if there is a lot of destruction and vandalism done by the protestors just as long as their demands are heard and they get their way. This is wrong; this is not democracy. Nothing really worth while was ever achieved without honest hard work. It is the hope and aim of the school to instil the values of honesty, integrity, and good work habits so that students may become industrious and useful citizens of a democratic society. Rell G.

ADMINISTRATION Rell Francis Vice-Principal Frank Semaka Vice-Principal PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Congratulations to the yearbook committee who have worked long and faithfully to produce the 1971 edition of "Memories". Between its covers are many items which symbolize a year ip the lives of a great many people. As I collect some ideas for a yearbook message my thoughts run back over the past seven years that I have been associated with Myers School. Principals may come and go; students come and go; but the school as an institution carries on. Each year or era makes its own contribution. Over the past seven years the accomplishments of Myers School have been many and varied. Many top scholars have excelled in the academic area, and many top athletes have excelled in the sports field. The introduction and development of the band program added a valuable dimension to the school program. The elective program has been extended to give students a wide selection of courses. The Graduation Exercises have been developed into a pattern and tradition that is unrivaled. The junior high modified program, the work experience, the driver education, special project credits, have each served to meet the needs of groups of students. A new era in communications has begun in which students' opinions are actively sought. Through the established channels of student Council representatives or through individual entreaty students' opinions and thoughts are presented and considered when policy decisions are being made. To the students who are leaving Myers School, may I say best of luck in all your endeavours. Be proud of what you have contributed to your fellow man. You are now part of a heritage and an alumni. Never let anyone belittle you by attacking your heritage. It is what you have made it. To the students who will be continuing at Myers School, I urge you to uphold the fine traditions of your school. May all of your actions be such that you can look back with pride upon your contributions. James I. George, B.Ed., Principal FACULTY J.C.

He was born in Taber on November 23, 1913. Prior to his employment at the school in 1955, Mr. Tufts farmed in the Taber-Barnwell Area. MR. CLARENCE TUFTS Mr. Tufts was continually fixing something, finding lost articles and just helping the students in any way he could. Six A.M. usually found him at work, checking thermostats in each room, servicing the heating units, replacing defective electrical fixtures, touching up the floor wax, removing black heel marks from the floor, and almost countless other little details to render the school acceptable to teachers and students. We now realize the loss we have sustained. There will be others to succeed him but I feel he can never be replaced. I feel he gave this school the most precious thing he had, "his life" . Emblazoned forever in our minds will be such words as "Clarence Tufts - faithful to the end". Wm. E. Litchfield........ Teacher Mr. Tufts will long be remembered at Myers School, not only for his work as Caretaker, but more important for the sincere interest he had in the students and in all school activities. This interest manifested itself in a cheerful willingness to do extra work, to help students or teachers, or to return to the school after hours. Mr. Tufts was one who always went the second mile in any aspect of his work as Caretaker at Myers School. J.L. George........ Principal The students of Myers have always appreciated the friendly disposition of Mr. Tufts, his willingness to help whenever and wherever he could. As long as we can remember, Mr. Tufts has been a part of our school. It is for these reasons that we, the students of Myers pay tribute to Mr. Tufts for his many years of service and devotion to the school. Eric Evanson........ Student Body President VICE-PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE The one word that best describes today's society is "uncertainty". Political, industrial and financial leaders seem to have the jitters; their decisions seem less accurate, their judgments less wise. The slaughter and destruction in South Viet Nam, at Attica Prison, in Biafra and in East Pakistan have horrified the world. The unemployment figures and hippies on our highways have an ominous air of foreboding for our way of life How is a young high school student to prepare himself for entry into this chaotic adult world? Some are taking to drugs while others have reconciled themselves early to living dangerously. But there is an effective preparation to meet the challenges of the future! Education! Schools are striving to develop intellectual strength and thinking competence to solve society's problems; to instill courage, faith and sound morality in our young people in answer to the forces threatening our social structure. Be of good cheer, virtue, goodness and work will prevail and dispel fear of the future! F.

The school has the responsibility of providing the facilities and the opportunities for students to develop their potential. The real purpose and intent of the student in attending school should be that he or she become the most effective person that it is possible to become while, taking advantage of the opportunities here. When students fail to achieve their objectives, the failure perhaps should be shared by three: the home, the school and the student. The success or failure is mainly the result of communication or lack of it among the three. I would like to commend all those who have had a successful year at school and wish continued success in the future. Keep the channels of communication open is my challenge to you in your days to come. R.G.

M.G. eWs Published By The Student Body Of The TABER HIGH SCHOOL 1957 From the Room rente PAGE 2 TABER HIGH SCHOOL Dawn of Wisdom e^^ Since our theme this year is "Dawn of Wisdom", maybe we should contemplate momentarily what this implies. What do we consider wisdom to be? With a little delving into the meaning we might find that the ability to judge soundly is a part; the having of facts does not make us wise, but the ability to use those facts properly is an indication of wisdom, especially so when those facts relate to life and conduct. Our conduct, then, as illustrated by our ability or capacity to make use of the knowledge that we have, determines our wisdom. The wisdom of an individual is further demonstrated when we make use of the best ends and the best means in the task at hand. We must be able to use the best and discard those things that are not so good. Wisdom is not a modern invention. We, with all our modern inventions, might not be wise. It is through the manner in which we make use of modern inventions that we show our wisdom or lack of it. Our learning and knowledge need not make us possessors of wisdom. Some who have a great deal of wisdom might not have any amount of book knowledge. How then may we possess wisdom? Certainly a certain amount of knowledge is a requirement. Certainly we must be discerning people or individuals. Certainly we must be able to think for ourselves. We must be able to put first things first, and other things in the proper order. We hear people speak of the wisdom of Solomon. Yet we know that Solomon did not have the fund of knowledge available to him that we have at the present time. Solomon's wisdom came as the result of his ability to use to the best advantage the knowledge that he had. If we want to possess wisdom, therefore, we must carry on to get the necessary knowledge and then develop our ability to use that knowledge wisely and with discernment. MR. H. MYERS.

Look to this day! For it is Life, the very life of Life!" —The Salutation of the Dawn (from the Sanskrit) At each new dawning, may your hurts and fears fade into nothingness that you may face each day dauntlessly. For the graduating students, a whole new way of life is dawning on this Commencement Day. It is to you that this book is offered. May you look back upon your school life with no regrets, while remembering, with humbleness, its teachings. May this yearbook serve to remind you of all the things that you wish it to, of all the things that you enjoyed here in T. H. S. in the 1956 - 1957 school year. Remember that each day dawns anew, bringing joy and success IF YOU WILL IT SO. I would like to wish much of both to the graduating students.

The broader sense of the word means an opening into a wider scope of learning, which is the reason why we all should strive for a higher educational standard. With reference to the word "Wisdom", it is pointed out that we must act wisely or our adherence to right will be mere sound without substance. Our high school yearbook, "Dawn", is a book in which we, especially the Graduates, should place much pride. I should like to thank the Yearbook Staff, the High kites, and the other organizations within the school for helping to make this passing term a successful one. It has been a good experience working with the teachers and students, as it gives us an opportunity to challenge certain problems similar to those we shall encounter in our forthcoming years. In closing, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the graduating students and trust that they will continue to climb the ladder to success. RALPH SLOANE PAGE 6 TABER HIGH SCHOOL Utt iMmorg of Mr. (5 rnr yr Mrtklr Wha ©wli Hanuary IDtlj, 1957 A TRIBUTE Someone has written, "You who are young have a world to build The future will be as you have willed." I can wish no greater success for the 1957 graduates than that they build as well as did George Meikle, whose work was never slip-shod. As building foreman he served the Taber School Division well for many years, and he died respected and liked by all who knew him. E. M. U.

"DAWN '57" PAGE 9 GRADUANDS LORA JOAN HAYNES Here is another secretary-to-be, guaranteed to be "easy on the boss's nerves" and "pleasant to have around an office". LARRY HENRY Larry is a good sport in more ways than one, a likeable student who participates widely in extracurricular activities. CATHERINE OLIVE JOHNSON Cathy is a sports enthusiast, being well-known around T. H. S. for her basketball. She has been an intramural sports captain for the past two years. LAURIA OTTOLYN JONES Lauria is uncertain about her future career, but we wouldn't be surprised if, before too many years, she didn't decide to specialize in "home-making".

SUMIO SETOGUCHI Sumio is an active participant in football and volleyball and also does well in track. He plans to attend "Tech" at Calgary next year.

"DAWN '57" PAGE 11 Class History This is the twelfth year, and the last chapter of our general education is nearly over. At this time my thoughts turn to the past. The first grades are the dimmest to view, but in them we learned the essentials like reading and writing. Then we were introduced to arithmetic, enterprise, literature and elementary science. The struggle we had with learning these is comparable to the one which we are having today with math and physics, but, of course, those of long ago seem trivial. One of the points I recall about grades three to six was our festival work in which we seemed to excel. Grade seven carried with it the hitherto unknown distinction of an organization of grades Junior High School. This brought our first taste of a Students' Union. From its organization, our leaders obtained experience in administration, and all shared in the benefits of its activities. These years brought our first school dances, and how easily the joy and excitement of them may be remembered. The completion of grade nine led to "the most", the high school. Students from Barnwell and Cranford joined us in grade ten. Our heterogeneous nature, as a class, became evident as we divided into four different fields of training. High school, now that it has passed, seems to have slipped by very quickly. Remember how we feared initiation and then, ironically, how we enjoyed it when it came? The award nights, the proms, and the track meets all bring pleasant memories. But they only seemed to point ahead. Thus the twelfth term found itself set on a very high pinnacle in our minds. But when we did finally reach the top, it was not so distinctive and not nearly so high. This, though, of all the years, brought us together as a class, working as a group. In restrospect, it is my sincere hope that the past twelve years have given us a training sufficient to meet life well, a firm education, so that we may face the future with confidence and courage. DAVID LAURIE Class Prophecy It's the year 2000 and I've just got my high school diploma. I thought that I would never get Math. 30. I've been looking into what happened to the good old class of '57. My findings have been astounding. Keith Moline, in 1960, emerged as the successor to Elvis Presley. He sang such hits as "Don't be Sore", "You Ain't Nothing but a Hotdog", "That's When Your Headaches Begin", "Heart Burn Hotel" and many others. Donald Bell, the quiet boy of the class became a radio announcer for C.B.C. Brian Collett was locked up in "62" when he told a quiz master that a safe cracker was something you couldn't choke on. In 1965, Mildred Petersen became the firsi woman to swim the Atlantic Ocean. That girl will do anything to save a little money. Gerald Fong, destined to become a great leader, is now leading pack mules for a mining company in the high Andes of South America. 1968, David Laurie, after years of studying, became the top man in the field of atomic research. Because of sentimental reasons, he decided to build a gigantic research centre in his home town of Taber. That really put Taber on the map. Then one day he got careless with about a half a ton of uranium. That took Taber back off the map. Wallace Kostelansky, the boy who always wanted to be a bird watcher, got a job at the Lethbridge Jail, watching jailbirds. In 1972, Brent Gilbertson planned and built the first car made completely of rubber. It was designed especially for women drivers. By 1980, Garfield Bland was a millionaire. His chain of modern bakeries spread out across thePAGE 12 TABER HIGH SCHOOL continent is drawing in millions every year. That just goes to show how iar a boy can go with the right kind of dough! Joe Kodie now has a dry land farm in the Sahara Desert. Neil Jones went into big business in 1970. His company is now making replaceable metal tips for shoe laces. Ray Kadonaga, always good in track and field, became a rum runner back in "68". Ted Teshima, always the bright boy with high spirits, has been manager of a brewery for the past ten years. Patsy Kirkvoid and Cathy Johnson opened a motel at the bottom of Grand Canyon — seems they are always having someone drop in. Mary Ann Peters, in 1968, made great progress in the field of biology when she crossed a Brahma with a sloth and got a bulldozer. Esther Fletcher, who always wanted to go to U. of A., is now living on the campus, taking in washing. Gayle Gibb broke a record in "72" for having given the Red Cross four quarts of blood at one time. Ralph Sloane was the first man to reach the moon. It was a great disappointment for Ralph to find out that the moon is only a big spotlight and on the back are the words, "MADE IN JAPAN". Sumio Setoguchi became a doctor of medicine, but because he can't stand the sight of blood, he does all his operations blindfolded. Alexander Didyk became the coach of the Taber basketball team. He has gone a long ways. After Taber's team lost about ten games in a row, the fans chased him so far out of town that he never came back. Elda Turcato pioneered a steamship line which has forty steam-powered row boats, plying supplies up and down the Old Man River, which just keeps rollin' them along. Mary Ann Bogdan and Coral Bennett have a television repair shop in Russia. (Mary Ann always did like rushin' and certain television programs always did make Coral see red). Joan Haynes became the first women to break the sound barrier, riding a motorcycle. Ellen Skikiewich discovered that there was uranium in spinach seeds. She now heads a company whose purpose is the extraction of uranium from this source. Lauria Jones, the girl with the golden voice, became a cow caller on a dairy farm. Alice Reti became a dress designer. She made the bustle popular once more. Because of her great dramatic talents, Darlene Conrad played a leading role in the Broadway Production, "The Three Blind Mice". Bert Vik is now in Chile as a door-to-door salesman, selling red underwear. Marilyn Dumas became a teacher in 1960 and revolutionized teaching by her methods. She discovered that giving a child a good old-fashioned "licking", produced no permanent ill effects and gave great results. Margaret Dyck became chief banana peeler at a famous rest

It has been a wonderful experience and I should like to thank all those who gave me this opportunity. During the past months "Conjunctum Possumus" has become part of our school thoughts and vocabulary. This is our new school motto which means "Together We Can." In these three words lies the key to the successful operation of an organization such as ours. At times throughout the year the disunity of our school has meant the near failure of our projects. Working together with an understanding would have prevented these problems. It is the sincere hope of your executive that our endeavors this year have laid the foundation for the harmonious operation of your future Students' Unions in T. H. S. To all members of the Graduating Class I wish success in the future. May all of you take your place as upright and conscientious Canadian citizens doing your part for the betterment of the world society.

PAGE 6 TABER HIGH SCHOOL Once again the time is fast approaching for this year when the saying of good-byes and the changing of our routine way of life for the past number of years is necessary. For some "school days" are over. Some will think what a wonderful time they will now be able to have — it not being necessary to go to school. A few years from now — in retrospect — what will be your reaction to the years spent in school, and the breaking of the present ties? Well, it all depends. It is my earnest hope that you will be able to look back on your school days as one of the very best and happiest periods of your life, and that you will feel and be prepared for whatever line of work and life that lie ahead of you. May you find success in whatever sphere you may be a part of. We can look and point with pride to many of our former graduates. I am confident that we shall be able to look back in the years to come and find that the students going from this school in 1956 have been no exception. H. B. MYERS "DAWN '56" PAGE 7 PAGE 8 TABER HIGH SCHOOL THE JUNIOR RED CROSS "FUTURE TEACHERS OF ALBERTA" This is the second year Taber High School has had a Junior Red Cross Organization. We are again working under the careful supervision of our Director, Miss MacLaine, assisted by Mrs. Thomson. During the year the Junior Red Cross has given service in several fields. We advertised for Mr. McIntosh's Christmas Cantata; helped to promote the opening of the Keyettes' "Canteen''; directed a very successful polio fund drive in the schools of Taber and district; helped the Blood Donor Clinic in Taber; prepared the gym for safety films; dressed and outfitted a doll for the Crippled Children's Hospital in Calgary, and held a rummage sale in June. On May 18th was the annual Junior Red Cross Kit Dance. I hope that next year the Junior Red Cross will continue to give service where needed and thereby be a complete success in all respects. Marvin Haynes The first known "Future Teachers' Club" in Alberta was organized in Taber High School this fall, under the direction of Mr. R. B. McIntosh. The first meeting was held early in September, 1955. Plans for the club were discussed. Some of the suggested activities for the members were to supervise games on the playgrounds, observe classrooms in session, advertise and help in school functions, and get as much experience as possible in teaching younger children. It was also decided to have regular meetings every Wednesday at noon. Enthusiastic club members report a very successful first year. TO MR. FLETCHER (ONE WHO SERVES) HAIL, TABER HIGH Hail Taber High, we salute you, Hail Taber High, we defend you; Proud to shout your name, Proud to share your fame; Three cheers for Taber High! Beacon of light shining onward, Guiding and leading us forward, Wave your colors bold, Yes, maroon and gold, WeTI never let you die! The above school song was composed by Miss Geraldine Farmer at the request of the Students' Union Council. Suitable music is being composed, so you'll be hearing it next year. There are things that we don't learn in books Such as those that you teach us each day As you smile and you sweep after our dusty feet As you help us in many a way. For we watch how you work at each task See your patience and your industry, And we learn by example for you are a sample Of all that a worker should be. May we serve as you do in your work, Be as friendly and efficient, too, May we smile as we work and our duty ne'er shirk May we pattern our lives after you.

PAGE 10 TABER HIGH SCHOOL CONJUNCTUM POSSUMUS Tenets of many high schools active Oft-times press co-operation Guided by student executive in every function, Enhanced endeavor from the crowd, That's conspicuously or otherwise made, by Heartily co-operative individuals, Enables evolution of good citizens Required by our modern society. While if we sit back slothfully, Everything renders insufficiency. Confirmed social satisfaction And student-to-student harmony Necessitates that since TOGETHER WE CAN, we do! Donald Bell THE KEYETTE CLUB The club has as its motto, "Others Above Self." Our first service to the school was the second-hand book sale in September; our largest undertaking, the operation of the "Quick snack Bar" with the help of the Key Club. We were also available to help with many small jobs, our most common being ushering. Not all was work. We enjoyed presenting a Valentine's Day program for Kiwanis, and being their guests at a luncheon. Most of all we enjoyed the trip to Edmonton for Varsity week-end. All in all, under Miss Farmer's capable leadership, we have had a very successful year. Arline Sparks KEY CLUB We tried to be of service to the school and fellow students by doing small jobs such as moving chairs, ushering, etc. We sold apples to raise money. Our large project was sponsoring a cafeteria with the help of the Keyettes. Social activities included the Edmonton trip when fourteen students from the Key and Keyette Clubs attended the "Varsity Weekend" so as to become better acquainted with the University. All of the students expect to be there some day. Then there was the Montana trip. This was to show the future executives of the Key Club how the highly organized Montana Clubs are run. The ideas gained are sure to make Taber Key and Keyette Clubs a success. Close inter-relationship is being maintained between the Key and Keyette Club and the parent organization, the Kiwanis. The school sponsors are Mr. Gushaty and Mr. Peterson.

Irene is not afraid of hard work! A THOUGHT FOR THE TOMORROWS Encouragement is more effective than criticism. If a person is given commendation on work he has done, be the point of goodness ever so small, he will feel he has not failed. When someone encourages another, the worker feels that he has done something of real worth. Encouragement also acts as a spur. It makes one want and strive to do better and more effective work. Criticism on the other hand, makes a person feel he has failed in his task. Even constructive criticism makes the worker place a low value on work that he has tried to do. Criticism causes an individual to become discouraged, and offers no incentive to do the work. The effectiveness of encouragement cannot be underestimated. —Esther Fletcher"DAWN '56" PAGE 17 GRADUANDS A recent visitor to our school was Tak Fuji-magari, M.D., who graduated from T. H. S. in 1948, receiving his B.Sc. from McGill in 1954, and his doctorate at this year's convocation. Which of this year's graduates will be getting their doctorates in 1964?

The much waited for, much talked about day has finally arrived. Before we take leave of T. H. S., let us reminisce for what is neither the first nor the last time. Most of us entered school twelve years ago in 1943. Do you remember grade one in Central School? We had our own playhouse-library. Our teacher, Mrs. Letcher, left us at the end of the year, but during grade two she returned to visit us. Reliance and Wadena joined us in grade three; thus we acquired many new friends. In grade five we occupied the "little" schools behind Central School, and grade six took us to the Dormitory. Grade seven brought us back to Central School. This was indeed an eventful year. Our own student government, "The Silver Sevens," was formed with the president and secretary none other than the same president and secretary who hold those positions in the Students' Council this year. We also operated a cafeteria similar to the snack bar which opened in the high school this year. Grade eight brought separation. Two classes were in the high school, while the other occupied one of the "little" schools. At Christmas Mr. Hislop's class moved into the high school, much to the dismay of many high school students. You see, we took over the ping-pong room. Grade Nine and Departmental Exams were soon upon us, but we took them in our stride. Next we had to make a great decision. What field should we enter? For what should we train? This had to be decided before grade ten. Barnwell students joined us in grade ten and more friends were made. During the high school years, new students came, and some of the older ones departed. To the former we called "welcome”; to the latter we waved farewell. Now we must wave a final farewell to twelve years of profitable education. We shall indeed miss the school, the teachers, and our friends. As we tread our individual paths in life, I am sure we shall look back on Taber High School and remember the joys it held for us. To each and every one of us it will be "gone but not forgotten.” Arline Sparks CLASS PROPHECY Not so long ago I went to see Madame Gearloose, the Gypsy fortune teller and inventor. On her newly invented TV crystal ball she succeeded in picking up the future, and for every nickel I gave her, she gave me a prophecy. The first person I saw on the TV crystal ball was Louise Wills. She left the country in 1973 and a few years later became the first woman president of the United States. In 1975, Eugene Bastura became famous. His newly invented hearing aid for hen-pecked husbands was a success because it deadened all sound and eliminated all static. In 1974, Morgan Johnson's father told him to go out and make his own money. Morgan did go out but the police got him after a while. The trouble was he was making it with his own machine. Hoyt Price, formerly of the Taber Curling Club, liked curling so well he became a hairdresser. Professor Mary Astalos in 1972 became famous after crossing a cow, a chicken and a sugar beet to get an eggnog. Professor Dick Snell invented in 1981 a robot plane that could do anything: talk, count, think, walk. Unfortunately, it couldn't fly. Anna Marie Frey was acclaimed Artist of the Year (1978) in Russia because of her painting depicting Russian life. It was entitled "Peasant in a Coal Mine." Cory Lemieszewski, our high school military fanatic, finally succeeded in 1979 in making Germany square. His lifelong ambition completed, he became a hermit in South Africa. Don Guenter went to University. Years later, he took a job of cleaning monkey cages in an experimental laboratory. Gwen Fosmark became a lab assistant, too. Her job was to count the fleas on the gorilla. (Continued on Page 22) PAGE 22 TABER HIGH SCHOOL CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from Page 21) Ken Ohashi and Don Platt worked for a short time in a b
