It is always a pleasure to have the privilege of welcoming a new Year Book for the L.C.l. There is something rather fascinating about a new creation. From the students’ standpoint a Year Book has this characteristic that it incorporates in one complete issue a summary of the activities of the students throughout the preceding year. This one has added attraction of many very fine pictures which will be especially valued by the students as a souvenir “olim volventihus annis.” For some time past, due to depression and other causes, our former annual Spotlight was discontinued, and it is now not only encouraging but may be taken as a good omen of the times that the Council is in such a position as to be able to present to the students a Year Book such as is now being offered to them.
The editors are to be highly complimented upon the courage and enterprise shown in the manner in which they have organized their material for presentation. To them it is their first great achievement in the literary and journalistic world, and regardless of what any one of them may accomplish in the future, I am satisfied that they will look back upon this effort with greater pride than that of any subsequent success. The experience gained in this venture into the publishing field may have far-reaching- results in its effect upon the vocation chosen by these young men and women.
'fhe Year Book is, of course, of special interest to the graduates. To them it forms the last connecting link between their future outside the L.C.l. and their life within its walls. Every word and every page of the book recalls associations with fellow
3students over a period of four or more years. As the years roll around faces and circumstances change but the memories remain constant. Ten years hence you will be asking each other, “Do you remember old Bill, Tom, Dick, Harry?” ami will he recalling instances of practical jokes played on each other while attending (lie L.C'.I. Another phase of Collegiate life that will be kept fresh in memory by means of this Year Book will be the various student activities from Field Day in September to the Senior Prom towards the end of the year. The value of the hook cannot be estimated by the number of pages and pictures or even its present worth, but by I he irreplacable value which it will gain from year to year. Its value will grow with age, though it itself need never be classed with antiques.
While its value as a souvenir is great, its incentive to further scholastic success should be equally valuable. The truly educated student is not necessarily the one who knows the most facts, but the one who has a mind so trained and organized as to be able to assimilate new material readily. The art of knowing how to study is of greater value than the amount of knowledge gained in any particular department. There is a danger of losing sight of this fact, and of thinking, at the end of Grade XII or Third Y'ear Commercial, that the student has finished his education. It may be taken as a matter of actual fact that the education in reality has scarcely begun. The student has still to fit himself or herself as a citizen into the life of the community. It is generally presumed that graduating from a Collegiate enhances the student’s value as a. citizen. This may or may not be true. Much depends upon other factors than the knowledge gained from the academic or conimercial curriculum. It is more important that the Collegiate graduate a lady or a gentleman with a personal sense of responsibility than to turn out an educated rogue who may prove to be a menace rather than an asset to the community.
In any event we hail the Year Book and shall value it for many years for its memories and associations. To the graduates who must now turn towards further education in University or to practical business life, we offer our sincere wishes for their future success and prosperity. Though the young graduate’s fears be many, yet they are lessened by a knowledge that, he is young and in a young country. You, many of whom are native sons and daughters of Sunny Alberta, have pinned (your faith upon this land of promise which will not fail you, and even during these times of depression you may be buoyed up by this thought of Tennyson’s:
“Not in vain the future beckons, forward, forward ltd us range. Let the grcM world spin forever down the ringing grooves of
change.” —A. J. Watson.
5Editor’s Notes
The past year has been notable for the success achieved by the school in practically every line of endeavour. The lethargy, which has characterized the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute ever since it changed its name from the Lethbridge High School, has for the first time been set aside. This year the school had its own paper published regularly throughout the terms; it smashed more records than ever before on Field Day; its Girl’s Basketball Team won every game it played; the school play was the greatest success in years, and the Boys’ Basketball Team succeeded in finally breaking its four years’ jinx. Hence it is only appropriate that this year a Year Book should once more be published.

In presenting the Valedicta, the editors trust that they have succeeded in giving the school a book that will be appreciated and enjoyed by all. Of its many and serious shortcomings they are all only too aware. Nevertheless, the editors would have their readers bear in mind that there are a number of things prohibiting the publication of a more pretentious production. No machinery has been left them from other years to facilitate the editing of the Valedicta, the Council was so late in approaching the Gazette that less than a month was left in which to bring it out, and finally the unfortunate circumstances, which still persist in the business world, limited the amount of advertising obtainable, the grant that could be obtained from the Council, and the price that the students would be able to pay. In spite of all these factors, however, a Year Book has been brought out which we at least hope will satisfy the Collegiate until conditions make possible a more ambitious publication.

In choosing as the name of this analecta, “The Valedicta,” the editors have had in mind the very considerable connotation of the term. Valedicta, “Vale,” the old Homan word of farewell, and “dicta” meaning utterances, from the fourth part of di co, the verb we knew so well in Latin class. The book is, in short, the “farewell utterances” of the graduating classes that leave in this book the record of achievements of the school during the year that they were its Seniors.

Robert Burns—Scotland’s Own Poet
World-wide is tlie fame of Burns’ poetry. Few indeed are they of the literate people of the world who have not heard the name of Burns; countless millions have read, re-read and never ceased to enjoy his verse—but few are. they, indeed, who know much of Burns, the man.
The story of Burns’ life is the saddest tale in the annals of poetrv. To read it without knowing its veracity would cause anyone to condemn it as impossible, ridiculous—an invention of some dreamer. So many condemn Burns “for the life and talents he wrecked”—but so few realize the tragedy of it all.
Burns was born at Alloway, near Ayr, January 25, 1159, on his parents’ seven acre farm. His father was an intelligent man, who justly valued education. So it was that Robert received a good and serviceable training, guided by a father whose actions might well be taken as the model of paternal duty, and by a mother who was all that a mother should be. This should be remembered, for far too many assume him to be a “peasant poet” descended from a line of illiterate farm laborers. Granted, he did live on a farm and work at the plough, but no mere peasant had, cultivated within him, a love of literature, and no peasant received lessons in literary form.
As a youth he wrote a few verses, inspired by youthful love; these showed a marked influence from the two Scottish poets Allan Ramsay and Robert Ferguson. Later he developed his own inimit; able style which brought him everlasting fame. Unfortunately, when he was only twenty-five, his father died, leaving Robert to set out in life for himself. But he had contracted rather dissolute habits from evil associates in a neighboring port, which he had visited previously. So it was that the vice of drinking, coupled with his lack of funds, soon put him in rather hard circumstances. II is straitened means caused him to forsake his farming more and more, and to forget his worries in writing verse which he so loved. It was in this period that he wrote his greatest works, among them “The Cottar’s Saturday Night” and “The Jolly Beggars.” At (lie end of two years he was in deeper difficulties, but he was still pouring forth his magnificent songs with the feeling, and the elegant perfection of celestial music. None before had ever surpassed their grace, and none since have ever quite equalled them.
When be failed as a farmer, he was obsessed with the idea that if once lie could get to the West Indies he might quicklyrepair bis damaged fortunes. So be brought forth his first collection of poems in book form, at Kilmarnock in 1786. (Incidentally, one of these copies is now valued at $3,500). The monetary gains were slight indeed, hut the recognition of his genius was marked. So he remained in Scotland.
Later, at the request of an influential friend, he journeyed to Edinburgh, and there brought out his second volume of poems. His name was made known—hut also his visit laid the foundation of the ruin of his later life. He was forced to remain in the city over a year, in order to clear up his transaction—and his moral habits were irreparably affected. Unfortunately he received the adoration of the upper classes and contracted a hatred of poverty; he caroused far too often, until he came to love alcohol too much for his own good.
On his return home, he married Jean Armour, thus ending a long line of inconsequential love affairs, to which it would appear he had become seriously addicted. He settled down to a quiet matrimonial life on EJlisland Earm, Dumfries. Then came the worst event in his whole life! He was appointed “Excise Man.’' This office brought him into company where his love for alcohol, under the encouragement of his "friends,” developed into an insatiable thirst.
This so broke his physique that, not long afterwards, he contracted rheumatic fever. On duly 21, 1796, on the very day of the birth of his youngest son, death sealed forever the lips of the man who could, and should, have left the world its most precious heritage of songs. As it is, few have ever equalled him in any phase of literature whatever, even though what he has left us is a mlere shell of what he might have left, had he lived to a riper age than thirty-seven years. Nature endowed him with unmatched genius, but left him sadly deficient in that greatest of all requisites in life—self-mastery.
But Time lends a softer perspective to everything and far he it from us to condemn his follies, for which he paid in full with his life; rather should we admire the man who left us a priceless gift of immortal song. As Oliver Mendel llolmes has so aptly’ put it:
“The lark of Scotia’s morning shy!
Whose voice may sing his praises?
With Heaven’s own sunlight in his eyes.
He walked through the daisies
Till through the cloud of fortune’s wrong He soared to fields of glory;
But left his land her sweetest song And earth her saddest story.”

sThis English Language of Ours
Once a teacher said that English was easier than other languages because it lias no long declension, conjugations or sets of rules for forming plurals, etc. Of course all the students agreed. They forgot the one real characteristic, namely, ambiguity.
Open the dictionary at any place. I happened to open mine at the word “light.” Have you ever noticed how many meanings that little word has? A girl may be “light-headed” yet be a decided brunette. Of course, if you follow her you may see her in a different light. And that doesn’t mean in the light of a different street light either! You may, when you get home, describe her and say that she was light; at once your brother will conclude that she weighed about ninety-five pounds; your sister will think that she was unimportant; your mother may think she was dizzy, while you mean that she was nimble.
“Green” is another nice little five-letter word. It means, as you know, a, colour composed of blue and yellow. But have you ever seen a green hide? Yet the market reports quote on green hides. And then of course the “green horn” is just one of Bossy’s horns painted green. Sometimes green means inexperienced. I always thought a green-grocer didn’t know his business. They say colours are not the same, but how about the green-room in the studio in Hollywood, that was entirely decorated in blue? Just a mistake I suppose—and of course, womjen get green with envy.
Jr is nice to be called a model student. But as a “model” is a small sized reproduction of something and the “model” student weighs about one hundred and thirty pounds, what will.the school board do for seats if a real student should happen to come here? They tell us that we once were animals, and I guess they are right as the Chinese still have pig-tails. And speaking of pigs, why isn’t a. little ham a, hamlet? Bell-boys like it if you “over-tip” them but get annoyed if you “tip them over.”
I was once at a dinner and the host proposed a toast. As T was still hungpy I agreed, but alas—instead of getting a nice piece of bread, browned in the fire, I had to listen to a short speech. Black isn’t white, but the left side is the right side to get on a horse. Finally, a student is one “devoted to study,” yet our principal told the Herald that we had almost seven hundred “students.” Maybe he’s right, but,—
Well, if you ever have any more trouble with the easy subject of English, just give into a ring—I don’t care whether it comes from a jewelry store or a circus.

9The Senior Lits
This year has been one of the best the Literary Society has ever experienced. While only six meetings were held last year, nine were held this year, and the number would probably have been greater had it not been for a School Board ruling limiting the Senior Lits to one a, fortnight.
At the conclusion of each program one of the teachers gave a criticism, thus enabling those participating to correct any faults before another appearance on the platform. This also gave those who had not yet appeared on the stage an opportunity to "profit by the misfortunes of others.”
The Literary Society has proved a great benefit in bringing to light talent previously unrecognized, while it has helped to develop self-confidence, clean enunciation, and good deportment among those who have profited by the opportunity which the Society affords.
Our thanks are due to the Orchestra, for its readiness to assist at all times, to President Walter Galdzinski and Secretary Bill Delf for the efficient management of the meetings, and to the teachers for their assistance and constructive criticisms.
The Commencement Exercises
The commencement exercises were held in the auditorium of the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute on Wednesday, September 21st.
After the singing of “0 Canada,” the Rev. T. Prears delivered the invocation. Poliowing an address by the chairman, Mr. D. P. Carlyle, the school, led by Mr. A. Wade, joined in singing "Give Yourself a Pat on the Back.” The tune left much to be desired, but there was plenty of volumje.
After an inspiring address by the Rev. P. 0. Wade, Mi'. Virtue, one of the Trustees, gave a. short speech on the success possible through determined effort even in times of depression. Mrs. C. Gibson, representing the I.O.D.E., presented the Robin Sherlock Scholarship in Literature to Robert Davis. A third presentation was made by Miss Balwden to Walter Galdzinski.
The next two speeches, by Dr. Lovering and the Rev. Mr. McMinn, were greatly appreciated, particularly because of their excellent jokes.
Following an attempt made by the students to sing "School Days,” K. Bulloch entertained them with a trumpet solo. The Principal then made a few announcements.
The program was completed with five two-minute speeches by Philip Akrigg, Howard Kesler, Mac Russell, Bill Delf and Cleve Hill.

TIIK PHOBLKMS of Voulh remain generally sialic. The* usual press- ini' <|csires arc: lo find a satisfying place among fellow youth; to experience personal achievement; to enter into and succeed in vocational life; to he able lo es'ablisb and ciroy a happy home; to understand and remedy political and economic problems; to maintain maximum mental, physical, and spiritual ellicicncy: and lo participate in enjoyable recreational activities. The young people of today, as were their parents at the same age. are filled with the urge lo study, consider, and act. They plan to do all in their power to assist in building and maintaining a heller world wherein all may live in freedom, harmony, and good-will.
education aims at the development of those trails which produce effective participation in group enterprises, for the good citizen is one who work with others in group activities for the common good, lie is one who is informed about group problems: who has been trained to think clearly with a maximum of tolerance and good-will and a minimum of emotionalism; and who is skilful in working with others in a common cause which demands personal sacrifices.
As another school year swiftly draws to its close the (iradualcs of 1(1 Hi will emerge into the world they have studied. It is well for them lo remember that schools of today have been built and operated by the sacrifices of parents and friends who wish the (iradualcs well in whatever they may do. 'flu* school has given an opportunity lo establish a solid foundation for the structure of the future. The student has had a wealth of opportunity and experience during his four years of Collegiate life, but the benefits derived depend on the individual. The training they have received both directly and incidentally in co-operating with others, sharing group activities, assembling a mass of knowledge, selecting the sound and rejecting the unsound, building healthy bodies, clear minds and stout hearts, and building personality and character, will never be completely forgotten. (iuidance has stressed tolerance, fair play, and all attributes of good citizenship.
Tile end of Collegiate life is but the beginning of a wider sphere. The pursuit of knowledge and its application to a belter world will go on unceasingly. The world annually welcomes the High School graduates ardently. From these young men and women must emerge our future leaders, and Canada with the rest of the world needs their contributions for the benefit of mankind.
In a brief span so much of school life will be but memories, yet it is to be hoped that at least some will be pleasant. A school is judged by the type of youth it graduates and young people are judged upon their own merits by a critical world. Our democratic way of life has often been tried and never found wanting. The graduates of today will continually honor their school, their country, and their democratic ideals as have other graduates before them. The Molls of Honor hanging on our Collegiate walls reallirm that this has been and shall always be.
Our graduates are leaving the bounds of theory and entering upon the fields of practice. Personal satisfaction can emanate only from the will lo serve and the accomplishment of some useful service. The opportunities of such a lull life are unlimited for
"Labour with what zeal we will.
Something still remains undone.
Something uncompleted still Waits tin- rising of the sun."

AFTKH AN ABSENCE of several yours I Ik* Spotlilc is hack with tis. Wo only hope Dial llio publication of this Voar Book in future is kept as ono of tho high points on I ho Collegiate calendar. A school oT this size should ho able to put out a yearly edition and should also he able to improve on each preceding issue to produce the host Year Book in Alberta. This is a challenge to the (iradc Nine. Ten and Eleven students. You will he here for at least a lew years more and should make it your duly to keep the Spotlilc alive. All the organizing and writing talent is here. It needs only development to put it to use.
Of course, there would he no Spotlite if it were not for the splendid co-operation given by the students and touchers of the Collegiate. Mr. Boa is to he commended on his line work in organizing and helping to develop the publication. Our thanks also to the Advertisers, whose splendid co-operation has given encouragement all through the work.
For many of us 1910 is the iinal year of school life. We shall leave to lake up work in a chosen line. For others l!)l(» in only the last year of an experience which will lead into the great adventure of I'nivcrsity.
While High School has meant much hard work for us it has also meant a lot of fun. Do you remember the first Student Council election you look part in? After the election wasn't it great to he one of the long line which formed the “Snake Dance?” Think of the good times you have had during “Sadie Hawkins" week. How could you forget the good times at dances Western. Hard-Time. Sadie Hawkins and Proms? All have been wonderful.
Yes. we have had many good times, not only in outside activities but during the class periods. Much of it has been due to our Teachers, it won hi be very dillicult to find a nicer group of people. We. should consider ourselves very fortunate in having them to give us the instructions necessary to enter the business world as good citizens.
During the four or five years spent in the Collegiate we all have an opportunity to make many friendships. Those who go to University will, no doubt, make many more. It is only when we leave the school to start working that we realize just how many good friends we have had. No matter where we go. what we do or who we meet, there will still remain in our memories the friends of our Collegiate life. If. in the publication of the Spotlilc. are these memories kept alive, then we can all consider it a worth while venture.

The Collegiate
Mr. D. S. A. Kyle, Principal
TO THE G-RADIATES OF 1944
You are about to join the ranks of the hundreds of other graduates of
the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute. In a few short weeks your years of
association with us will come to an end. Pleasant associations with the
staff and your fellow students have been formed and will give you inspiration
in the days that lie ahead. Keep those associations; treasure
and foster them because they cannot be replaced. A change is now to
come into your life, a change from a position of privilege to one of
responsibility. The world must be faced and you will need all the tools
education can put within your grasp to moot the crying need for broader
aims and higher ideals.
If you have worked faithfully and well during your years at the Collegiate
you will havo laid a solid footing for an education. The foundation
can then be erected. Hany will enter further institutions of
learning where countless opportunities await and I urge upon each one to
attain the highest education possible. But for all of you we hope to
have roused the thirst for knowledge. If you have caught the spirit of
learning you can continue indefinitely to extend the horizons of your
interests and knowledge. The world moves rapidly, even at times bewilder
ingly, and we raust aove with it or be left behind in all our thinking and
acting. The opportunity to do that is largely wh't the Collegiate can
hope to have done for you. For what is important at £his stage is that
you should have learned how to work systematically and h-rd, how to find
your way about books, how to think cKmarly and honestly, and above all,
how to appreciate and cooperate with your fellows. If to this you add
the desire and the will to be a, good citizen your life will be a satisfaction
to yourself and an asset to your generation.
With the other graduates of recent years you are facod immediately with
the call to the service and preservation of our society and our way of
life sc treasured by froe pooplo everywhere. Your former associates have
given themselves freely—-some their livos--that freedom shall not perish
from this earth. And wo know you will not hesitate to play your part to
bring about r. bettor world, shorn of the tragedies of our days, and
filled with peace and opportunity for all.
May good fortune attend you always.
Principal kJ
Fellow Studente:----
Another year of School Activities is drawing to a close. As President of the Students Council I would like to thank all the students for the way they supported their council this year. we hope that we have given you all some activity which you could attend and enjoy. With the war on and everybody war-minded it is impossible to give you all the activities we would like. After this war is over I hope the students Council, whoever they may be, can really give you a ’’Banner- Year.”
Our skating parties were a success, but they always were and always will be. The. dances this year drew good crowds at first but became less popular towards the end of the season. We had something dirr-erent this year in the form of a Theatre Party. You should have seen the crowd. Why can't we have just as large a crowd for our dances? Is it the School Spirit? I wonder? I will say this;—The School Spirit this year was bet ter than it has been for a couple of years.
In closing I would like to say that it was an honor and privilege
to be President of the Students Council this year. I would like to *
thank the other members of the Council for their splendid co-operation.
Also I would like to thank the School Board and Mr. Kyle for their cooperation concerning the dances.
G-ood luck in your Final Exams and I'll be seeing you over there.
President of the Students Council,another year has nearly ended. This was for many, their last year here, I am sure that most of the graduates will look hack on their years at the L.-C. I. as their happiest. You will remember and treasure your school friendships and associations through the rest of your life.
Compliments are due to an able and active Students Council. They have given us, in our opinion three of the best dances ever held in one year. We are thinking of the Christmas and Waster Proms and the unforget- able "Hard Luck:' dance.
Has anyone stopped to consider our War Saving Stamp sales this year? It has been very poor for a school as large as the L. C. I. Selfishness and complacency have blinded us to the need for lending. Our brothers are giving their lives for our cause but we are too selfish to lend our money. A War Savings Stamp isn’t much but it may save someone’s life. Back the Attack, Speed the Victory, Put Victory First, and buy at least one stamp a week.
We had planned to publish a Year Book, printed entirely on good paper However, this would cost an additional two hundred dollars. In war-time, we think that spending money in this way is not only foolish but unpatriotic. Furthermore, there is an acute shortage of printer’s lead and high gloss paper.
We would like to express our thanks to our three advisers, Miss Conn, Mr. Rae and Mr. Brodie for their unselfish gifts of time and energy. We w mid like to thank Mr. Kyle for his very kind co-operation at all times. Much credit is also due to the girls of the Commercial class, our room reporters, room salesmen, those who wrote a regular column for our monthly edition and also those who helped to assemble our paper.
We have done our best and we hope that you have all enjoyed our Gazette and the Year Book.
So to staff and students I want to wish a happy and prosperous summer. To the graduates, we extend our best wishes for success in the career that each may choose. For those who are enlisting at the end of this term,--may you return safe, sound and happy. When you get "over there" just remember that we "over here" are behind you.
Your editor,I am submitting, by request, the following brief account of
origin of the Lethbridge,Collegiate Institute.

housed in the Bowman Annex of Central School. In 1927, it became

was commenced immediately thereafter by the Bennett & White Co. of
Calgary, the price of the contract being 144,000., and on April l8th the
corner-stone was laid with full Masonic Rites. A picture of this event
may be seen on the first floor of the Collegiate. The corner-stone
itself contains many documents, including the school paper of that day,
called ’’The Spotlight-1. The building was completed and ready for
in September of 1928. Unfortunately,, a fire occurred on May

The Tennis Courts
One of the first student activities on the new grounds was the construction of tennis courts. These were laid our 100 ft. by 180 ft. as it was the original intention to use them for a skating rink in the winter time. As the School Board had no appropriation for the purpose, the students with the assistance of the staff,’bought the lumber and built the fence themselves. They also purchased more than $150.00 worth of red cinders for the courts. The experiment with the tennis courts as a rink did not work out as well as expected, and the attempt was discontinued after two or three years. More recentlyand well within the memory of our present Grade Xll students, the courts have been hardsurfaced, and the present wire fence has replaced the old wooden one.
Apart from the levelling of the campus and the construction of the tennis courts, much work was required, over a period of years, on the grounds immediately south of the building. Many tons of earth had to be obtained until there was sufficient to landscape the grounds as they are at present. An effort is now being made to improve these sections by planting a grove of trees. We believe that the surroundings of the building are as important almost as the building itself, and we trust that the efforts put forth by the School Board and the students, from time to time, towards beautifying them will be appreciated, and that those of you now attending the Collegiate may look back in future years with a certain amount of justifiable pride in your High School Alma Mater.

Lethbridge Collegiate Institute 1940-1956 Reunion
No full textDedicated to the students who attended the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute during the years of 1940 - 1956, Lethbridge, Alberta.(1985)pdfPRAYER OF INVOCATION by David W. Paterson '54
Gracious God, who in a moment of inspiration created the universe and with a WORD, the world we live in — we pause in this summer time to reflect on one spot in your creation that we fondly remember with affection and appreciation. Tonight we remember school days, school teachers and school chums. For people — friends and teachers, we thank you.
For those who were examples to us and in whose lives we caught a glimpse of what life ought to be;
— For those who were an inspiration to us and thus filled us with a desire
to enoble life;
For those who comforted us and healed the hurt when we were impatient with ourselves or were hurt by the impatience of others with us;
For those who were a strength to us and by whose company we felt enabled to tackle fresh challenges and new tasks;
For those who introduced us to that unknown host who have influenced our lives and fed our minds with good writings in great books;
For those who gave their love, understanding and service that we took so often for granted, and
— For those whose loyal friendship and true love continue to mark and
embrace our lives today, WE GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE 0 LORD.
Included in our thanks are those who had the dream, who provided the leadership, who gave the time that we should be called here this evening to remember, renew and recharge old relationships and pleasant memories; for fellowship and for the food we are about to receive, may it be taken as nourishment for our bodies and provide the fellowship of friends that makes an evening an experience that is truly rewarding. For we ask it in the Name of Him who was and is the Lord of Life,
Amen

TOAST TO THE DEAD by John M. Cashore
I have been asked to give a toast to those who have died. At first I worried that this was a morbid task, but then after thinking about it the realization came that death is appropriately acknowledged during a celebration such as our high school homecoming.
Death is a reality all of us think about more and more. We are not using terms such as "passed away". There is no suitable euphemism that enables us to avoid the reality.
At this time we are remembering those whose pilgrimage has taken them through the valley of the shadow and beyond. Their lives live on in us and in others. Their energy, creativity, their personality is out there. They are part of the wonder of the universe.
They remind us of the tender, fragile nature of life and the marvellous mystery of human existence.
At this time I will read the names of those former L.C.I. students who gave their lives in WW II. Greater love has no one than this — that a person should lose his life for a friend.
While we do not have a list of those who lost their lives in the Korean war, I acknowledge, on your behalf, that they too have made the supreme sacrifice.
I would hope that in the magnificent mystery of eternity, those who are no more with us are somehow present in God's tears and in God's mirth as we continue our journey in many special places.
I believe that those of us who have died are present in God's joy as this reality of reunion affirms our brief time on earth.
So I ask you to raise your glasses and join me in a toast to our colleagues who have died.

LAST MINUTE RUSH EXPECTED AS
Organizers expect a last minute rush of registrations for the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute Reunion this weekend.
The reunion is for anyone who attended the l Cl from 1940 to 1956 - they needn't have graduated.
Already about 1.200 people have registered and organizer Bruce Haig says organizers feel the final total will be about 1.350.
"But I think there will be a whole lot more than than." Haig added
Bruce Ritchie says initial organization began three years ago when he and Dr Tim Myers of Lethbridge discussed organizing a 30 year reunion of the LCI class of 1953.
"For one reason or another it didn't work." says Ritchie "But we kept in touch and after moving here last summer from the United States, we got talking again in the early fall "
LCI GRADS GATHER FOR REUNION
Shortly after that the reunion was expanded to include the years from 1950 to 1956 At the same time LCI 1940 grads began plan ning a reunion and by February decided to co operate and merge the reunions
"We have attempted to keep the structure simple so each year can have their own little 'dos'" says Ritchie.
Registration will continue today at the exhibition pavilion until 6 p.m and again from 8 to 10 p.m during a wine and cheese reception.
Public relations officer Bruce Ritchie says people will regret not go mg because this "is probably a once in a lifetime thing."
This morning a special 'hotline' 320 1956, went into operation for people who need more information about registration and events.
A SUCCESS BY ALL
REUNION TERMED
It would have been difficult to question organizers' claims the week end LCI Reunion was a big success.
Everywhere one looked there were beaming smiles and handshakes as those who attended the school between 1940 and 1956 were reunited with fellow students.
"It worked out fabulously." Rex Little, the reunion's chairman, said Sunday. "We had a heck of a time."
Little said between 1.370 and 1.400 people attended the three day event, slightly higher than the number organizers predicted when they met last Wednesday
"it was a tremendous experience and l can only thank everyone for coming,” said l ittle. "If they wouldn't have come, it wouldn't have been a success ”
There was no exact count available of how many people at the re union were from outside Lethbridge But Little said “quite a few" made the trip, and many came from various parts of North America
"This was a once in a lifetime thing." he said in an interview. "We're glad we did it."
Bruce Haig, the event's executive secretary, said everyone seemed to have a good time
"l think people enjoy it It helps people tie their roots together." Haig said of the reunion.
AUSTRALIAN GRAD
Former Lethbridge Collegiate In stitute students came from far and wide to the 1940 56 reun ion, but none came farther than Irene Hicks
Hicks and her husband Douglas made the trip all the way from Australia, where they live in Wmmalee. about 80 km from Sydney
Hicks, who's maiden name was Romamuk. said a planned trip to South Africa later this year was dropped because of the political unrest there Then she heard about the reunion
"This came up and we thought why not. and it's been great seeing all the teachers and people you went to school with." Hicks said in an interview
Of particular interest to Hicks were three close friends, including Rose Pnmachuk, who she grew up with LCI
Haig said while there was a strong representation of LCI students from outside the area, even local people came to visit with old acquaintances they see occasionally, but just don't stop and talk to
Former LCI students and teachers attended various events at their reunion including Friday's wine and cheese party. Saturday's dinner and dance, and Sunday's morning brunch, all at the Exhibition Pavilion.
Hundreds also attended two assemblies at Hamilton junior High School and LCI. where past student body presidents joked ana reflected about the old days, and the audience sang school cheers and songs
Long-retired but well-known teachers, many of whom got stand mg ovations, also relived highlights and hijmks in the classrooms, jolting many memories
Organizers, using a variety of leads and sources to hunt for former students of LCI from 1940 to 1956. sent out about 3.000 invitations to the reunion
"It’s surprising how many people we couldn't find They just sort of disappeared." said Haig
Little said individual and class pictures were taken of former LCI students and a commemorative pictoral booklet will be produced l: should be sent out to reunion registrants within two months
MAKES CITY TREK
Hicks took commercial courses at the school, graduating in 1952 and then worked as a secretary at city all. where her future husband was also employed n the engineering department
They later left for Australia and have been living there for nearly 23 years, where Doug is national service and parts manager for a mining company
Hicks remembers home economics, shorthand and typing classes at a much smaller LCI. where she finished an amazing string of perfect school attendance from Grade 1 to 12
At Westminster School and then LCI. Hicks never missed one schoo1 day. earning her a commemorative bracelet and silver tray set she still owns
"I was just a well person and ! always liked school," she said Hicks did have mumps though during Christmas holidays.
Attending the reunion marks the third time she has visited Lethbridge since 1978
"It's nice to come back to Lethbridge It's a lovely city, said Hicks.

NOSTALGIA REIGNS AS OLD SCHOOL MATES GATHER
VIVIAN (STOHIE) HOLMES of Lethbridge. Gwen (Guild) Wildman of Edmonton, and May (Griffiths) Henry of Vancouver all graduated in 1944. The ladies were 'bosom bud dies in high school.
it was a nostalgic weekend to meet old friends, share school sto nes, and laugh at the past for the 1.400 people who attended the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute Reunion.
Whether the participants attended LCI in the 1940s or 1950s. most who were interviewed by the Herald just wanted to see old faces again, some for the first time in four decades
Everett Hcrlacher of Edmonton, who attended the old LCI in 1944. was anxious to see how many old school mates he would still know To his surprise he recognized “about 100 more than I thought I could remember "
Had everybody changed? "Not me. but I don't know where all the old folks came from," Hcrlacher said with a grin
He said found it interesting that all the predjudices and divisions that existed between students back in school didn’t matter anymore at the reunion
His brother Neil Hcrlacher of Lethbridge agreed
"The tough kids are now as meek and mild as everybody else,” he said "The ones who spent the most time the the principal's office are the ones who are the biggest boosters."
Neil, who attended LCI in the late 1940s, said he wasn't having too much difficulty remembering oid fellow students.
"You recognize them by their eyes Their eyes don't change that much," he said. "The guys still basically got the same haircuts as 40 years ago."
Betty (Wilson) Lievers clutched her Class of '46 yearbook as she sur veyed the reunion crowd Saturday. "I find this very exciting.”
The Abbotsford resident said it was "quite shocking" to see how much people changed from their yearbook pictures. But the reunion still served to take her back to the happy times. "The best days of your lives were when you were going to school ”
Fellow student Lois (Peterson) Story of Lethbridge said the weekend was "just an exciting time for all of us "
She said the personalities of old friends continued to shine through "A lot of people haven't changed that much "
Both women said they had their "school crushes" but wouldn't provide details However. Lievers admitted she wondered now what she saw in those highschool heart throbs anyway
Evelyn (Pearson) Faulk of Houston. B.C. came to the new LCI building m Grade 10 when it had just opened
The building has changed with time, just like the graduates have, Faulk said "It's hard to realize we're all grandparents ”
She. too. was able to spot her school heart throb "He's still nice He's even got white hair, so I can relate to that."
The reunion was a spirit booster, said Faulk. "It's a real up. a real tonic. If there was another one next year. I'd come."
Joan (Landeryou) Waslovich of Lethbridge agreed "I didn't get enthused originally But now I wouldn't have missed it for the world "
"Look at all these mature people." Waslovich said "We were all kids.”
Don Standing of Medicine Hat. who last strolled the LCl halls m 1950-51. met some friends and teachers he hadn't seen for 30 years "So far it's been great "
A smiling Standing said there was a lot of stories being told at tne reunion, but he wouldn't be able to relate many of them to the media.
For Carol (Verwoerd) Rose, who attended LCI from 1952-54. the reunion was like travelling in a time machine

THESE WERE 'GLORY DAYS'
As an out-of-towner. 1 would like to express my thoughts about our recent L.C.I. reunion.
We listen to Bruce Springsteen belting out his music "Glory Days" and that's what it was for so many alumni of the L.C.I., earlier this month.
As one of those graduates (Class of 52/53). still riding the crest of nostalgia, l. for one think it exceeded all my greatest expectations. We were on a natural high, for those three days. After 32 years, since \ last saw those halls of the alma mater, to be able to re-live the highs and lows of those years was a thrill for me. The best moments were that so many friends recognized me. before reading my name tag, and I recognized them. We laughed and smiled and swallowed many a lump re-living past times. Even those, whom we hardly knew, or even weren't too fond of. became our dear comrades. This world is moving too quickly, and in time's fleetness, 32 years ago seemed like yesterday
We looked for familiar faces. The boys, we had crushes on, and who had crushes on us. Now. grandparents, we looked with ambiguity at one another. Would we still see what it was that made them so wonderful’ Sometimes, sometimes not. but if it was there
it was not in the seasoned faces, the no so-slender bodies, the graying or balding hair, or even the wrinkled countenance of one's face. It was in the eyes. True, age had taken its toll, but the eyes, always sparkling, mirroring remembrances Memories came flooding back. How sweet, the happiness and sometimes pain for that brief encounter. We were drawn back to that time years ago. and it didn't seem to matter that we had gotten older, for one brief moment, we recaptured our youth.
I am thankful for the opportunity we had to say hello and goodbye to many friends. Some we may never see again, but in this one reunion we re-lived yesterday. And life, being so short, we had this chance to rekindle friendships, so precious.
I would like to thank the committee and organizers and all those who worked so diligently in connection with the reunion I racking down all those people, you made it all worthwhile For those who didn't come . . .
You missed one hell of a party!
ANNE LARSEN Victoria, B.C.
THANKS TO 'THE FEW' OF THE LCI REUNION
Churchill once commented that "Never in the field of human en ceavor was so much owed to so many to so few." While the recently completed LCI Reunion may not be a classic Churchillian endeavor, nevertheless the truth is that a great debt is owed by so many to the few who spent the hours in planning and preparation.
It is difficult for one who returned home to enjoy the fruits and the benefits of a High School Homecoming to pay a debt of gratitude or to show appreciation, but perhaps through your good grace and the channel of your newspaper, expression can be made to the few that made it a great occasion and a wonderful time for us all Rex Little and his committee did one fabulous job and to them and on behalf of all who returned, I would like to say "Thank You.”
Because I was one who initially made enquiries as to what could be done to have such a reunion. I think it fair the thanks can come from me. We who live outside the city have had nostalgic enthusiasms to return to see the old boys and the old girls, and what changes the years have fraught, but it is the locals who have to do the work We lard on them a tremendous responsibility; but how amply and wonderfully they came through.
Your readers may be interested to know that before the Rex I it tie committee was formed, there were two meetings in Lethbridge to explore and investigate the possibilities May I share with you those who were involved? Sept. 25, 1984, Bruce Haig called together a
meeting at Sven Encksen's Restaurant of Bruce Ritchie, Dr. Tim and Mrs. Annette Myers, Ab Paskuski and myself. That meeting determined that we have another meeting to determine if there was feasi bility after locating and pricing various elements of a program On Saturday. Oct. 20. those same people met in the ho

We arc the fans who cheer on the teams at LCI. At each game we arrive in packs, and fill the stands. The field is empty. Then as the lights turn on, flashes of green and gold are before our eyes. But the story is not about the players. It is about US! We are those faithful LCI fans who come to cheer on our teams. In volleyball, basketball, or football, we are there to lend support. As the games start screams of "Go LCI!" can be heard. Then as if on cue, our mascot Sam the Ram runs in front and leads us on in cheer after cheer. The fight is on, the battle between us and the opposing fans. Who can yell the loudest? Echoes of our chants fill the air and our spirits are full of LCI pride.

Cafeteria. The word con ures up images of horrid food in a hostile environment. But that isn't the case in our cafeteria.
The cafeteria is open a most all day for those of us who have a spare. Wfe go to eat, drink, talk, and sometimes (unfortunately for us) do tomework.
For those unfortunate enough to not have a spare, there is lunch. It is the busiest time in the cafeteria. Sometimes, going to a cafeteria for lunch is risky, but not at our cafeteria. There is a wide selection of food, from salads to fries to chips. And don't forget, there are drinks too. For the health conscious, milk and juice. For the rest of us, slurpoes and pop.
Last year, we got a jukebox. It has been quite an addition to our cafeteria. People go to the cafeteria new just for the music. It is enjoyable.
The cafeteria is no longer simply a place for eating. It is now the place to go for entertainment and good company.—

In the blink of an eye, the conventional hallway scene vanished as we entered the darkness of the gym. You could feel the strong beat of the music and you could see the flashing lights, that constantly made your eyes refocus. Above the thunderous sound of pounding feet, you could unmistakably hear the chanting of "L-C-I-Rules, L-C-I-Rules!" Hundreds of bodies had gathered together to display an enormous amount of school spirit and support for school activities.
Once all the candies had been thrown and the last words had been said, a strong sense of school pride could be felt. This year's first Pep Rally had been a success!OPTIONS ARE HAPPENING AT LC.I.
You Leave Me .. . Stressless
Stress ... it's an everyday thing in high school life. Everyone lives with it. Getting up when you should really be going to bed, chasing that big ol' yellow school bus; hoping that by some chance it just might stop. You just can't seem to get your locker opened, and when you do, you realize you've forgotten your all-in-one binder at home and then fighting the traffic jams in the hallways when you're already late for class. And after all that, you're not done your homework, and you swear that every teacher must get together and plan all their major assignments and tests for the same week. But wait, it does get better . . .
After all those mind torturing classes you finally get to take a breather with one of L.C.I's great option classes. Not only can you expand your horizons with practical, everyday life material, but these classes are fun. Students get to participate in activities that they are actually interested in and above all; they're even with credits!PAGE 12

By TANYA SCHNEIDER
Lethbridge Collegiate Institute
What would I tell my kids about drugs and alcohol? I could toll them what I was told as a teenager. I could bore them with facts and statistics. I could fill their head with little tidbits like those I was told. Or I could tell them the real truths, by stripping away the glamour and promised popularity of following the crowd and leaving only the harsh realities behind.
I could tell them about an uncle of mine who could have had the world on a silver platter if he wanted it. But instead he chose the path of alcohol. An uncle with a promising future ahead of him. An uncle who threw it all away for a life as a jobless, moneyless bum with absolutely no prospects. All because he became addicted to the oblivion of an alcoholic stupor. I could tell them that he was a brilliant mechanic and a talented black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
He could have made a very good living in either field, only he discovered alcohol and couldn't control that demon. It ruined his life. Yes, I could tell them that.
Or I could tell them about an aunt who not only ruined her life but the lives of two children, their grandmother and her husband because of her dependence on cocaine. I could tell them how her husband left her and how her children were taken away from everything they had ever known. She was left without a steady income and with an expensive habit she couldn't afford. She died alone, leaving a family who never knew her. A family that knew she loved coke more than them.
Or maybe I could tell them about our family's historv of allergies to smoke and low tolerance to alcohol. I could tell them that we have a history of alcohol intolerance which may lead to alcoholic dependence after just a couple of drinks. Or I could mention there’s a good chance just one experiment with drugs could hook them. Or worse, it could cause a lethal allergic reaction.
Most importantly, I could tell them how much potential they have. Potential that can't be explored from the grave or from the recesses of an alcoholic stupor. I could tell them there is a whole world to be explored. One that can't be looked upon by the bleary, bloodshot eyes of an alcoholic or the glazed, faraway gaze of a drug user. And I could make sure they know how much I love them and don't want to be left childless because a bottle or joint became more powerful than a mother's love, more important than a life and a future. Oh yes, I could tell them that.
As a teen, I can't say for sure what I would tell my children when I have them. But no matter what I say, I hope they believe it and will see their highest potential and reach for the sky. I know what drugs and alcohol can do to a human being and I hope my children will realize this before it's too late. Maybe I'll tell them no one can reach the stars with bottles or joints holding them down.
CHILDREN NEED FAMILY SUPPORT
By JENNIFER CHOMIAK
Lethbridge Collegiate Institute
Drugs alcohol... How can a family help raise a child in a drug-free environment? This issue presents many viewpoints. Usually because nowadays, both parents are usually working, making it difficult for enough family support and togetherness to take place. Sometimes kids will rebel by going out with their friends and sometimes taking drugs to fill the void that their parents don't fill. Therefore,
I believe that family support is important.
Since I believe that family support is important, I also believe that the family steers the child in its direction of life. Most parents that have children know how hard it is to raise kids in a troubled world and know that there is hope.
More often than not, if you are helped and guided by both parents when you are young, you will know how to face problems (drugs) when your parents are not around.
Some people argue that parents do not have to be around to raise a good kid (drug-free). Even though some people may say "As long as you give your child a roof over his head, food, clothes and a good education, he should be a well-balanced kid”. I believe that spending time with your parents and just having their support means a lot and is just as important.
You may say that sometime parents have to work to provide and support for their family but there still are cases in which kids who do not have family support could still turn out alright.
You may have noticed that there has been more crime among young people today. I believe a good reason for this is because with the increase in violence and drug users, there is no one there to watch them and the breakdown of the family (divorce) occurs.
Furthermore, if the young people of the world hear what effect drugs and alcohol have on them from their family and loved ones, instead of teacher or a police officer (whom they may not trust or fear), the chances are better that they just might listen.
On the other hand, kids that do not have the guidance of their parents usually rely on the media to tell them what is right. An example is if the media say you will have a good time doing it or it is fun to do (example, beer ads) then these children will probably .agree.
In fact, drugs are a common thing in schools and in our society today. You hear and read about kids that are taking drugs, I even hear kids at school talk about drugs. Therefore, it is so easy for peer pressure to influence kids. For this reason, I believe the kids need the love and support of people that care for them - the family.
Undoubtedly, drugs will always be around. Nevertheless, we can still help the problem in our own homes.
I believe that if families continue to follow the path of divorce and working too hard to impress society, rather than paying attention to and supporting their children's well being (mentally), the chances are, the future will breed a drug lifestyle for some children. Although it may seem hopeless at times, by communicating with the young children, there is still a chance for a drug-free lifestyle. Just talking or just being there would help a lot.
Remember, children are our future and if we don't find time for them, our future looks bleak.
Say no to drugs!FAMILY SUPPORT NEEDED FOR TEENAGERS TO LIVE A DRUG-FREE,
HEALTHY LIFESTYLES
ty JAMIE BARTON
Lethbridge Collegiate Institute
Teenagers these days have a lot of responsibility along with many choices to make.
They must always have the mental and physical strengths to lead an almost flawless life. When choosing a drug-free kind of lifestyle, extreme family and friend/peer support is needed to carry out the right choices in life.
Many teenagers do not have that kind of support which usually concludes in getting guided in the wrong direction. I find that if a family is very close, understanding, and has good communication skills, the children or teenagers in that family do not and will not have drug-related life. Problems arise though when the parents begin to expect the almost impossible and do not realize that nobody's perfect.
When teenagers are involved with friends that have a bad turn in their lives and decide to heavy alcohol and decide to do drugs, complete openness must remain between teenager and parem/guardian.
Parental/guardian responsibility is very time-consuming and involves a great deal of dedication. A parent must be more like a friend rather than a parent at times to try to understand things about his/her child and to maintain a trusting and open relationship.
Your son/daughter may try to do things that his/her friends do to try it out or just may do it to Ik* rebellious.
The parents must realize that if they would like to keep that trusting and open relationship, they must dedicate their time and development mainly to their teenagers.
Parents/guardians must Ik there for their child/teenager at least 90 percent of the time. They must be there to help the teenagers figure out problems, choices and to help cope with tough problems and everyday stresses. If you are very open to your child, eventually your child will Ik just as open to you. Love, understanding and communication are very crucial to your child's life and development.
When family support is given there arc many more advantages than disadvantages if the parents carry out their support in the right way. Teenagers are prone to anything but when communication is there, your child may confront you with hard questions or concerns like: why can hc/she do it, and I can't? These kinds of questions are usually hers to answer even though there is no better explanation than the wellbeing of your child's future life. Most times your teenagers will not understand this answer so you usually have a tough time coming up with a better answer.
When your teenager is being first introduced to this drug and alcohol thing, their first instinct is 'Let me try it!' Pressures and neat case studies from friends of what happened to them usually convince kids to do it. If you are always there for your child, hopefully, and most likely your child will not jump into the drug or alcohol thing right away. They'll come to you first for your advice. When or if your child has tried it you must be there to understand more to what kind of situation they were in and help him or her to decide not to do it again. If you carry out these kinds of steps, most likely you will have success. You must know you

Valerie (Campbell) Hames Dexter Groves Doug Aspcslet Dave Lawrence
Gloria (McDonald) Murkin Audrey (Stickel) Hannan Sandra (Johnson) Hahn Susan (Shaw) Groves Jack Whimstor Frank LlewellynREUNION '81 has come and gone but for those of us who were lucky enough to attend, the memory of it will remain in our hearts and minds for years to come.
Everything must have a beginning — ours being when Wendy (Kristjanson) Hayes approached various people, planting the idea for a Reunion. And if Wendy decided that you could handle a Reunion position there was no arguing. You were committed. But because she had the fortitude and perseverance to see the idea through, let us express our thanks for a splendid weekend.
Early in the Fall of 1980 a general meeting at the Civic Centre was called, extending an invitation to all interested persons to attend. In no time, a committee was formed and the dream became a reality. Countless volunteers were involved donating time, typing skills, stuffing envelopes, locating addresses and other jobs too numerable to mention. This event could never have happened without generous people like these. Once more, the committee members must be remembered. They opened their homes for meetings, approached friends, relatives and business associates for donations and did jobs which, at that moment, seemed time consuming and tedious. And as Wendy had mentioned earlier, had it not been for the cheap wine we may not have made it. (Incidentally, this did not come from Reunion funds!) Having had the pleasure of working with these super people I can assure you that they all gave of their time willingly and good- naturedly. You must believe that when your Reunion date is set, letters ready to be mailed and someone "forgot" to tell you that the weekend was already reserved for Summer Games, sometimes it was a bit difficult to laugh. So to all of you who worked so diligently, 'thanks'.
It would be remiss if we did not say the greatest thanks of all to the seven hundred plus who were the honoured guests. It was your Reunion and to each and every one who attended, from the wine and cheese night through to the lovely brunch, I must say this — watching people greet old friends and teachers was worth every hour expended to realize this Reunion!
I cannot bring myself to write of an end to this occasion, for that would be too final. Instead, I will say this. In a world where we are constantly living in the fast lane, where there do not seem to be enough hours for all the things we must do, our Reunion weekend suspended time, leaving us to live happily in the past. There can be pleasureable pain and I felt it as I watched each hug, each handshake and each time I listened to friendly reminiscence. Tears of happiness were frequently mixed with tears of sorrow for those friends who have since left us, leaving a noticeable gap in our memories. But as we continue on with our lives, moving once more in different directions, let us always remember and treasure our REUNION '81 weekend, for it was well worth the wait.

eing an LCI student is more
than just attending classes
five days a week. When I walk through the halls
I see an incredible variety of individuals who
have learned almost as much outside the
classroom as inside during their time here at LCI.
Whether that's from playing on sports teams,
acting in the drama production of the Hobbit,
volunteering through NHS, traveling to Europe,
singing and dancing in New York, or just
hanging out in the halls before class and making
new friends. We're all lucky to go to LCI as it
provides numerous opportunities outside the
classroom that we can get involved in and find
out what our true interests and passions really
are. High school is a short four years, so to all the
returning students, I encourage you to get
involved at school and make the most of these
opportunities, as they will help you develop into
mature, independent adults. I've seen kids grow
and change much throughout this past year, and
I wish you all the best for the years to come.
Thanks to everyone for making this a memorable
last year!

Academics Dontbe fooled! Academics does not contain itself to the core subjects. An
education at LCI means everything from English AP to PE, Foods and Fine Arts.
Student Life
inside, Outside, in
the hall, on the
ocean, in the
mountains - this is
learning.
ussian playwright Anton Chekhov
described knowledge as being of no value
unless you put it into practice. Here at LCI
we are able to both attain and apply
knowledge, as well as prepare ourselves
for the path we will take after graduation.
It is in the halls of this school that so many
of us learned both academic lessons, as
well as life lessons. What is so incredible
about LCI is that the scope of academics
covers a broad range of subjects, of which
we have students excelling in all areas.
LCI's academics are successful not only
quantitatively but also qualitatively
providing us with a warm and social
environment where we can flourish.

we do!
reen and Gold Forever! Ram Pride. Clipper
Pride. LCI Pride. This is the essence of what we do
here. It does not matter if you play sports, are in
drama, choir, band, clubs, class or just walk the halls
of LCI. You cannot ignore the amazing school spirit
we have. LCI is for everyone. We have so much to
offer everyone that finding something that interests
you is easy.
We have so much to be proud of. It almost seems mundane to
start listing our accomplishments considering the fact that we
have some of the most well developed programs out there.
Whether it is our dance program, drama productions, Jazz and
Chamber Choirs, along with the LCI Singers. It may be our sports
teams, with all their various success, or the strong academic
programs that make us proud of LCI. It may be the fact that you
can find friends here, or a club, a student organization,
intramurals, contests, charity or just a little piece of some obscure
hallway to call your own. Whatever it is, LCI has become a part of
your life.
Too often in life we forget to celebrate the simple
pleasures. When you are all grown up and think back on your
time here at LCI, you won't remember details. You will remember
feelings. Remember those good times and remember to always
make more! - Mr. Brandon Fletcher, Student Council Advisor

here were many different trends and
styles through out the 2008 and 2009
school year. During the chilly
months girls wrapped themselves up
in a stylish scarf. While in the
months of fall and spring girls wore
skinny jeans and flats along with a
bold necklace.
There were a lot of creative outfits
worn with out advertising brand
names. Some of the major brand
names seen in LCI this year were
Areopostale, Hollister, Abercombie
and Fitch which were worn by both
males and females. More female
focused brand names worn this year
were Lululemon, and Aritzia.

ITUatch MTV anytime of the day and notice that every
show is related to friendship. Paris Hiltons BBF (British best
friend), Bromance, and the Real Life all revolve around
relationships. These pop culture televisions shows are a
reflection of what we young people think is important in our
lives - our friends. Entering grade nine at LCI seems
threatening. Without friends to walk with you down the
never ending hallways, school would get pretty intimidating.
By grade ten you meet a few pals that can show you a good
time and life begins! "What math homework?", is your most
used phrase and it becomes pretty easy to forget that school is
a place of knowledge and not a social gathering hot spot. But
in grade eleven you find a healthy balance, you start to get to
know your grade pretty well, you get involved in school
activities, and you take a few courses that you actually have
to study for. Up to this point every May throughout your high
school career you watch the seniors, yes the guys with the full
beards and the girls whose boyfriends are way too old to be
hanging out at a high school, put on gowns and tuxes to
celebrate their graduation. In the hallways you hear about all
the crazy grad week stories as a grade twelve stumbles by in
sweat pants and yet you just can't wait for it to be you and
your friends to graduate next. When grade twelve does roll
around, it goes by fast, yet somehow all of the graduates find
the time to come together and you enjoy your last year
making up silly nicknames for others, playing games
including push ups and the word mine, and becoming pals
with the very same teachers who ostracized you in grade
nine. High school is where friends are made and sometimes
lost. It is where you learn how to text message in the pocket
of your jeans and sneak out of class to get a slurpee with your
friends.

Christmas At LCl we sure know how to bring in the holiday cheer and deck the halls with
boughs of holly. What better way to celebrate the holiday season is there than
with a Christmas Carnival!
Christinas Week was
a big hit with
different activities
n December 19th 2009, Students Council put
on a Christmas Carnival to celebrate the
holiday season, the end of the year, and
school spirit. This was done through the
efforts of many people who helped to make
it happen. Events included watching the
newly released Batman movie The Dark
Knight in full theatrical fashion with a big
projector screen and surround sound,
bringing the streets of Gotham City to life at
LCI. The actual carnival itself included
events such as karaoke, darts, a basketball
shoot-out, and even a famous Japanese
Christmas tradition - Sumo Wrestling! The
carnival ended up being a total and utter
success, being a place for students to have
fun, and others to show off their talent, like
chugging coke, for instance. And of course,
what would a Christmas carnival be
without no one other than good old jolly St.
Nick (commonly referred to as Santa Claus,
or Sendai Shiro in Japan) Students from
LCI's art department even created
masterpieces of their own by sketching out
portraits of LCI students to exhibit their
extraordinary talent.

"Without a doubt, technology has become integrated into the public life. Everything and anything is portable,
even our personalities. With social media storming up the way we interact, everyone you could possibly want to
know will become just a text-message or a Facebook away." Saif Zahir
Bits and Bytes and Everything Nice
Technology is a persistent force in the student body. You
just can't seem to avoid it; it's part of life.
iPhone, therefore iAm. It's by
this motto the student body seems
to operate. It's incredible to think
about how quickly it takes for
something to be antiquated. The
technology of just a couple years
ago seems almost primitive
compared to the present (What is
this button you speak of? Is it
anything like a touch-screen?)
Indeed, the acceleration of
advancement is almost a blur, and
it seems that only through the
eyes of the youth that you could
keep track of it all.
It was quite a stupendous year in terms of
updates and upgrades to add to the
existing. Massive overhauls to the social
website Facebook, the release of Apple's
ubiquitous iPhone 3G, Google Earth v5.0,
Youtube's high-definition transition the
list is endless. It's inspiring yet also
somewhat terrifying to imagine what
new advents in technology await, what
new attempts of integration become
apparent. Will the youth become master
of the medium, like in Japan or South
Korea? Or will they be swallowed by
their own persistent desire for the new
and improved? - Saif Zahir

STUDENTS
COUNCIL
MEMBERS WERE
INVOLVED IN
EVERY ASPECT
OF OUR SCHOOL
Following last year's Students Council was an enormous
task, but Students Council met the challenge head on. This
year with many fresh faces on Council, there were plenty of
new ideas brought to the drawing board.
With the world showing an
increasing trend of
environmental concern students
council spearheaded a Clean
Water initiative; where students
drink from re-usable water
bottles, instead of purchasing
plastic ones. Our initiative
resulted in the Environmental
sub-council. This year Students
Council supported the:
Canadian Cancer Society,
Schools for Children, Power of
the Penny, Lethbridge Food
Bank, Clean Water Initiative,
and Canadian Blood Services.
With school spirit on the
decline, this year Students
Council initiated weekly Green
& Gold days. At first students
were hesitant, but the trend
caught on. Pep-rallies too were
feeling the twangs of disinterest
from the Student body. This
year Students Council - by use
of draw prizes and free pizza
increased attendance and the
school fervor at all three of our
major Pep rallies.
Putting the finishing touches on the
plans for the March Pep Rally
As well with Sam the Ram
getting old, Students Council
funded Sam's makeover.
Students Council also hosted
one dance this year: LCI Spring
Fling, which is sure to be a hit.
With free food, drinks, and a
live D.J., who could pass it up?
The week before Christmas
Break is always a hard one to
concentrate through, what with
presents, and No School on the
brain. So this year Students
Council hosted LCI's first
winter carnival which boasted
numerous games, candied
apples, and pictures with Santa
Claus. - Remi Winder

LIVING IN THE MOMENT LIVING IN THE MOMENT LIVING IN THE MOMENT LIVING IN THE MOMENT
President's Message
Living in the moment is a feat most have difficulties
accomplishing. There is always a schedule to follow, a
bell to listen for; high school is full of due dates,
exams, and structure. Because someone says you're a
nerd or a jock doesn't mean you have to give into the
stereotype. There is nothing worse than settling for
something below your level of capability; there is a big
world out there! When it comes right down to it, if you
bomb a math test, you bomb a math test, do better next
time. Don't get stuck on the little things in life; find out
who you truly are and don't be afraid of the outcomes.
We now live life stuck in our own box; cell phones and
internet messaging leave no room for true personal
interactions. Don't become cut off from the world just
because you can. Watch out for others, friend or foe
alike, and don't give up on any endeavors. LCI is a
diverse school, full of one-of-a-kind opportunities,
make the most of your short time here; it passes
unbelievably fast! As grade twelve students, we have
had the opportunity to reflect on these past four years.
Remember how you grew and changed through
attending LCI. Think of the goals achieved and the
ones developed. Leave past difficulties behind; take
with you only the good. All graduating students: there
are so many outstanding possibilities out there, don't
leave life to fate. Look past the superficial opposition,
and towards your true goals, working forward to your
true potential! Follow the words of Bon Jovi: "Gonna
live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead" - live in the
moment, follow your own potential, and live life
according to you! Thanks for the great year LCI!

NHS
Throughout this year I have seen so much
leadership and dedication exhibited by all
of the NHS members - great work, team!
The purpose of the National Honor Society organization is to create enthusiasm for the pursuit of academics, to
stimulate a desire for community service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of LCI. In
our 2008-2009 school year, the student executive consisted of: Brent Fikowski, President; Saif Zahir, Vice-President;
Leanne Dalton, Secretary; Remi Winder, Events Coordinator; Aimee De Laurentiis, Promotions; Michelle Robertson,
Grade 12 Rep; Antony Cheech Hall, Grade 11 Rep. NHS this year included 140 students who met in the library two
Wednesdays per month. With so many students, the executive created an increased amount of volunteer
opportunities for all members. We sent volunteers to help with the set-up for the Alberta Senior Games, assist with
many of the school's sporting tournaments, usher for drama and dance productions, and to fundraise for the Heart &
Stroke foundation, Kidney foundation, Salvation Army and the Canadian Cancer Society. We were also involved in
the What's your type campaign in preparation for the Canadian Blood Services High School Blood Drive Challenge,
and we helped young elementary students in the homework club. For the second year in a row, LCI’s NHS offered the
LCI AP conference where grade eleven and twelve AP students from LCI had the opportunity to learn from various
business people and University professors about career paths and future schooling options. One of the new additions
to the NHS this year was the use of the online site MOODLE for organizing NHS events; with this webpage students
are now able to sign up for volunteer events anytime, and update their total volunteer hours conveniently. Also the
NHS created a new email address of
[email protected] to easily facilitate future
contacts from volunteer organizations.

I sincerely hope that you will enjoy this memory book which celebrates the J ^11 50 Green and Golden Years of the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute at its present
site. A lot of work by current and former L.C.I. staff went into this project - but those involved also had
a lot of fun digging into yearbooks and other resources and brainstorming just how to put the material
together. I think that you will agree that the product is informative and entertaining and should bring
back many great memories for a lot of former students and staff, as well as information for those who
simply want a comprehensive summary of just what L.C.I. has been and meant to our community over
the past five decades.
Acknowledgements for their contributions to this memory book go to Chris Burton, Dee Dee Fulwiler,
Mila Holland, Jean Ramage, Jeanette Scotter, Reid Seibert, Joey Shackleford, Muriel Shortreed and
Eleanor Torjek - without their long hours of research, writing and photo selection you would not be
reading and enjoying this book today.
Thanks, too, are extended to the many individuals, families and businesses who bought sponsorships
to support the publishing of this book. I hope that you enjoy many good memories as you read through
it and relive some of the events of your L.C.I. days.
I would also like to recognise L.C.I. student Hitendra Parekh, whose logo design was selected from
those entries submitted to our Logo Contest and will be used throughout the activities of the year. His
winning entry graces the cover of this book, and I think you will agree that he did a great job!
As we progress through the 1999 - 2000 school year, there will be many events and activities occurring
in celebration of our 50th anniversary. The kick-off event - which I hope many of you had the chance to
see - was our float entry in the 1999 Whoop Up Days parade (thanks to Sharon Peat and her students
for its creation). Throughout the year there will be a 50th focus to virtually everything we do; however,
you should especially keep in mind our big 50th Reunion Weekend which is planned for the May, 2000
long weekend. Several events are being organised, including a banquet, silent auction and dance on the
Saturday evening, as well as other activities for all members of the family. Look for more information
through the media and plan to be involved.
Again, please enjoy our publication and the many fond memories we hope it brings of the 50 Green
and Golden Years of quality education which the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute has provided to the
thousands of students who passed through our door and to the city of Lethbridge.

1FROM COTTAGE TO COMPOSITE:
THE EARLY YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOLING IN LETHBRIDGE
Formal schooling in Lethbridge is more than 100 years
old. It was during early winter of 1885 that the beginning
of ‘classroom’ education took place, when the first teacher,
a young girl from England, taught the 3R’s to fewer than
a dozen children in a miner’s cottage. A few months later
in April, 1886 the first official school, a single room building
with separate outdoor latrines for boys and girls,
opened at the top of a coulee north of No. 1 Galt Mine,
with the first teacher hired at the salary of 60,000 ant
provided programs in Woodworking, Machine Shop
Drafting and Domestic Science.
Manual Training School 1912
An interesting note about the Domestic Science progran
indicated that among many things, girls would learn “hov
to cook an 8 cent lunch fit for the gods” and ‘‘an 8 or <
course dinner costing no more than 25 cents per person”
The advent of World War I in 1914 saw the end of the
Manual Training School, as funding problems eventually
caused the M.T.S. programs to discontinue by mid-1915
At the same time the regular High School Departmen
had found the Barfield Wing too crowded, and the higl
school program was moved to the vacated Manual Train
ing School building, which became the Higl
School.Through the late teens and early twenties the higl
school program remained quite stable. Some efforts tc
re-establish practical arts programs were made, but the
High School was principally an academic institution. Once
again, however, overcrowding was beginning to occur anc
by 1926 efforts were being made to build a larger nev
high school. At first plans were to have the new building
located close to the existing Central School and the exist
ing High School, facing 6th Avenue South between 8th anc
9th Streets. However, plans were finally approved to have
the new high school constructed on 15th Street South, be
2
tween 4th and 5th Avenues, where it was scheduled to open
in 1928. At its vacating, the old High School (formerly
the Manual Training School) became the Bowman School
and is now today the Bowman Arts Center.
L.C.I. 1928
The new high school, the first Lethbridge Collegiate Institute,
officially opened in October, 1928, with thirteen
classrooms in operation and an average class size of 45
students. The students immediately showed their initiative,
as they requested permission to develop a skating
rink and build dressing rooms on the open space immediately
south of the school, the site where the District Administrative
Building sits today. This was done, and then
in the spring the students provided the cinder base, fencing
and labor to further develop the rink area into three
tennis courts.
The high school program at this time consisted of grades
9 to 12, and students had to complete 30 units (courses)
over the four-year period. Additionally, in their grade 12
year students had to pass five Departmental Examinations
as well in order to graduate. Those who did not pass all
five exams and who wished to return for another year,
had to appear before the Board of Trustees to gain permission
for an additional year. Any students who had not
completed high school after five years had to pay a tuition
fee of 15 per unit for any courses taken subsequently at
the high school.
A continuing interest for more practical courses for high
school students resulted in Technical and Domestic Science
programs being reinstated in existing buildings near
the old Westminster School at 13th Street and 5th Avenue
North, to which students would usually travel on foot, bicycle
or street car. Shop courses were offered to boys in
Motor Mechanics and Electricity, while girls took training
in cooking and sewing. 1936 saw the hiring of a new
principal who would remain at L.C.I.’s helm for twenty-six
years, Mr. D. S. A. ‘’Sam’ Kyle. Mr. Kyle immediately
imprinted his personality and authority on the school.
Co-incidental with his arrival a set of 30 regulations for
the L.C.I. were posted and enforced, items such as:
• Three bell rings means all students assemble in the
auditorium.
• No indulging in WHISTLING, LOUD TALKING or
SHOUTING in hallways or classrooms.
• Smoking on school premises or coming to or from
school is prohibited.
• Classes are to march from room to room, keeping to
the right side of hallways or stairs.
• The Caretaker is authorized by the Board to be in
charge of the building at noon.
The mid forties saw a move to incorporate academic, technical,
industrial arts, home economics and commercial
high school programs under a single roof. Envisioned was
a new, large ‘composite’ high school, which resulted in
the planning and building of the ‘new’ Lethbridge Collegiate
Institute on the site where it stands today. The new
L.C.I. would house grades 10 to 12, and the old high school
would become the city’s first junior high school for students
in grades 7 to 9, to be named Hamilton Junior High
School.

Then & Now...
During the early years of L.C.I. the yearbooks
were partly financed by local merchants. These
sponsorships (reproduced here inside the black
borders) took the form of an advertisement in the
back of the book. Some of those businesses still
exist, and are actively supporting L.C.I. and the
Lethbridge community today.

HOW CLOSE WERE THEY?
Your Life in the Year 2000 • Most Sweeping Changes in History Forecast This article was printed in the January 4th, 1950 edition of The Lethbridge Herald
Have a look at your life in the year 2000!
People live far longer than ever before. Cancer is controlled. The common cold licked, and other dread diseases like polio are on the run. People wear a wrist radio and carry pocket-sized television sets. They eat new foods, maybe artificially grown in factories. They have harnessed the atom bomb for power, and also use the sun’s rays for energy. As a matter of course, they see the latest feature movies daily in their homes through television. Their children attend a radically different kind of school.
MAKE FORECASTS
These forecasts for the coming 50 years are made by nine United States leaders in fields ranging from science to entertainment taking part in an Associated Press Survey of prospects for the new half-Century. They predict revolutionary changes more sweeping than in any similar period in history.
WHAT EXPERTS SEE
Here’s what the experts see ahead:
By the year 2000, says Dr. Edward U. Condon, director of the National Bureau of Standards, Americans are likely to learn much more about nuclear energy and cosmic rays and “the impact of science will be even more revolutionary” than during the last 50 years. He foresees “automatic control of industrial processes through semi-thinking electronic devices, automatic control of air craft throughout the entire process of flight, and the production of fresh water from sea water for arid regions.”
The day is coming, says Brig-Gen. David Eamoff, chairman of the Board of Radio Corporation of America, “when by radio man will speak man to man & television will place them face-to-face in New York, London or Shanghai.” He says mail will be whizzed around the world by radio, making present delivery systems seem as slow as the Pony Express. He also foresees radio and television sets powered by a “mere speck of radio active material.”
“Before the century is over”, says Leroy A. Wilson, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, “anyone will be able to dial his call anywhere in the United States and service will be more accurate and complete.”
Dr. Morris Fishbein, former editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, believes cancer may be largely controllable in 2000. The hopeful approach against it, he says, rests in “chemical, physical and perhaps particularly glandular studies which control the cancer cell by interfering with its nutrition or delaying the rapidity of growth.”
He reports increased studies to control infantile paralysis and other virus diseased of the nervous system, and to solve the common cold.
SEES FAST PACE
Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, former chairman of the President’s council of economic advisers, says “economic progress” to “outpace anything in the past” is likely if war or paralyzing battles between “capitalism, laborism and agrarianism” do not ensue.
By 2000, predicts Charles F. Brannan, secretary of Agriculture, present methods of growing food may be obsolete. He foresees this if man can unlock the “secrets of nature” by which plants make food from water and carbon dioxide.
Entertainment likewise faces a revolution, in the opinion of two veteran motion picture producers, Cecil DeMille and Samuel Goldwyn, “I doubt that my grandson’s children will have a sightless radio in their home.” says DeMille. Goldwyn predicts a union of movies with television so that as many as 100,000 Americans will be looking at films every day in the comfort of their own homes.
Secretary Brannan said; “a basic secret which man has not unlocked is...the process by which plants take water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air and make carbohydrates from them. With new tools that are available as a result of atomic research, it is entirely possible that science can discover how plants perform their miracle. And if this is done, present ideas of food production will be out of date.” Also forecast are “giant fruits, with flavor never tasted before”, and “improvements in processing and marketing to bring foods with garden flavor to our tables.”

Since its inception in 1928, L.C.I. has
had the honour and privilege of educating
exceptional young men and
women. The five students shown here
are all recipients of the prestigious
Rhodes Scholarship, presented upon
completion of their first degree after
high school. Each attended Oxford-
Cambridge University in England, supported
by their Rhodes Scholarship.
Each then embarked on an illustrious
career in fields ranging from law, to
architecture, to diplomacy, even including
an ambassadorship to the former
U.S.S.R. L.C.I. proudly salutes its five

L.C.I. Principals and Their Terms
While their length of term and issues faced may have varied, the young people they guided over the
decades were pretty much the same. The firm hand of the principal on the tiller of the L.C.I. ship was a
constant that kept the school moving forward, guiding and assisting students onward to their goals.

The Fifties:
the Roots Are Established
The first decade of the ‘new’ Lethbridge Collegiate Institute
was an era of prosperity and growth - and some change
- throughout the world in general, as well as in education
as it affected our city and school. The end of the Second
Great War five years earlier had led to a booming postwar
economy which, even though still somewhat entrenched
in conservatism, showed glimpses of the tremendous
changes which would start to impact all aspects of
our lives towards the end of this decade and beyond.
Even though the technology of the War had resulted in
many positives such as peacetime uses for atomic power
and the beginnings of space exploration, there was no abiding
peace in the world, as evidenced by the outbreak of
the Korean War in 1950, development of the hydrogen
bomb and the launching of the first atomic submarine by
the U.S.A. as the decade progressed, and the takeover of
Cuba by Fidel Castro in 1958. A new term ‘The Cold
War’ was coined and its threat to world peace clearly hovered
above every place and every person on the globe.
In other areas such as medicine, however, there were some
amazing advances during the decade which benefited
mankind. Heart research saw the development of the first
mechanical heart and the first pacemaker. A vaccine to
combat the dreaded Polio was discovered, and this had
profound effects on young people even at L.C.I. Unfortunately,
however, some medical discoveries also had serious
if unintentional side effects, such as major deformities
caused in babies by the drug Thalidomide.
Our day to day lives were impacted by other changes
which occurred during the Fifties. Black and white television
became common in North American households
by decade’s end, and great advances in color T.V. technology
also came about. As well, phonographic sound in
‘stereo’ was developed and ‘45s’ and LPs” in the new
record technology were being purchased by teens, who
were becoming significant consumers. The mid-decade
saw the opening of Disneyland, an indicator of new attitudes
toward leisure time. Simultaneously, one of the biggest
waves to ever affect the music world was occurring.
Rock n’ Roll was here - and here to stay - as first Bill
Haley and his Comets and then Elvis hit the music scene,
which would never be the same again! Clearly, young
people and the homes and world in which they lived were
undergoing vast transitions.
School, too, was a place of change. The building of the
new L.C.I. (at the unbelievable cost of 700,000) and its
opening in the fall of 1950 resulted in a high school in
which for the first time a comprehensive education - academic,
technical, industrial arts, home economics and
commercial programs - would

Invitations were mailed out before Christmas and responses arc gathering momentum.
Former students have been tracked down far from Lcthbndge and may consider a July vacation here from places like Guatemala. New Zealand. Nicuar gua and Australia.
Cole says one of the most positive aspects of a school reunion is thechar.cc to keep in touch with former friends.
"You find out what happened to them. Even people living in tow n don’t realize
who also lives in the same street." Cole said
Twenty Lethbridge businessmen, all reunion chgiolcs. have pitched sn to donate funds for advertising and initial expenses. They’ll be acknowledged in a reunion display bulletin and in a special commemorative book.

THIS IS THE GET - TOGETHER WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
SO WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS ANYWAY?
Everyone has been asking if it was worth all the work we put in. It certainly was worth attending a few (dozen) meetings and juggling some schedules to rekindle the old friendships from way hack when, and especially to get to know so many friends who were probably right under our noses in school, if wed only been looking. Jane Solvey said it the very best, “Its just like Christmas, you wait, then you blink and it's over!” Even the meetings were just like Christmas — we never knew what to expect, who would be there, what laughs were awaiting us, and there were many. Colly Arscne said she wouldn’t have missed it for the world, and that’s the way I felt.
That weekend, the only thing missing were some of the faces, and you could hear from every corner, “have you seen so-and-so? I hope they come.” If we succeed in compiling a Book that will be too good to put down, they'll come to the next one (I can’t believe I said that.)
So whose idea was this anyway? It was in the backs of the minds of everyone who ever attended LCI. All we did was set a goal and work towards it. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world either. See you all in a few years.
— Barb (Riehl) Cole
LETTER
FROM THE EDITOR
Putting together this book after such a successful reunion was the icing on the cake for me. I hope all those who patiently awaited its arrival will feel the same. Each turn of the page is like reliving the weekend.
Due to limited space, some pictures received after October 15th were not included. Also, some of the mug shots taken at the reunion were under or overexposed. This was not the fault of our printer.
After seeing the candid shots in color, it was nearly impossible to minimize their effect by printing them in black and white. Fortunately, we had the funds to consider printing color sections, due to refreshment sales on Friday night.
If you thought the weekend was fun, then you can appreciate how much we enjoyed it for a whole year.
— Gail (Paskuski) Gibb
There is little I can say that would add to our reunion. It was great! If you were there, well, you already know how much fun it was. If you weren’t able to make it, we sure missed you. but to help alleviate your loss, here are some great pictures!
We had hundreds of photos taken and were limited as to how many we could use, so here’s hoping you approve of our choices.
It was great. Let’s do it again sometime!
— Jane Solvey

"Hope you have a very successful reunion, and that 1 will be able to attend next time. Thank you.” - Sharon (Cave) Takahashi
“I'm looking forward to attending the reunion organize the event.” • Jim Nolan (72)
“1 wish this reunion could have been either last summer or next. I’d love to be able to be there.” - Jan (Erickson) Mason (sorry, can’t please everybody)Rev. Kert Weds, with grace:
The Lord our God, author of all creation, we give you thanks for this gathering tonight, for the opportunity to come together in fellowship, to renew old acquaintances, and to meet new friends. We thank you for all the blessings that the last 15 or so years since graduating from High School, and we lift up the hard times that might have been, that we might see your working through them, and we remember before you, all those who cannot be here tonight, especially those who have passed away. As we gather tonight, they are all present with us in our hearts, and in our memories of years past. And now, we pray that you might bless this food to our use, and us to your service. Amen.

Friday night • The Exhibition was buzzing with anticipation. The Photographer and the kids at registration areas were ready, the decorations were superb, Sam the Ram roamed around the room, everything was as ready as it could be. When people started streaming in the “magic" began. There was a chorus of “1-ook who’s here". “What have you been doing with yourself." “Its great to see you again", and all the planning paid off. Hut the real “magic" happened on the dance floor when the first few bars of Pink Floyds “Smoke on the Water" rose above the general hum of visiting voices, and everybody started cheering . . . we were with the people, listening to the music, reliving the old memories.Cindy (Cann) Huculak was talked into wearing the costume but swore us to secrecy because she’s tried to lose that image since the days of pep rallies. Half way through Friday night there was Cindy, still in costume minus the Ram’s head, sharing a beer with some old friends, caught up in the spirit. .So much for that “image". It just wouldn’t have been the same without Sam the Ram."It would have been fun to see everyone again, though I'll lie there in spirit. . . along with everyone else with their spirits. Have a good time.”

"George Virtue, C.A. and partner at Young, Parkyn McNab, married io Carole Ann (Lastuka), with two boys. An avid skier, interested in game bird hunting, fly fishing, golf, windsurfing and onology. For those of you who have been gone from Lethbridge to too long, that’s the study of the wind, and we are pretty good at that around here.”
— Madeline Balia
For those of you who weren’t here Friday night, it was indeed a good time, and carried on until about 1:30 but that wasn’t quite enough, because there were various contingencies throughout the City afterwards. I fulfilled my duty and went to the Cadillac. There was some more action over at the Wild Rose, and of course a party at Jake’s.
For the person who came the farthest to attend the reunion, and we’ll assume that she just came to see us; Debbie (Hansen) Oddershede, all the way from somewhere in Denmark. We have a flight bag to take back your smuggled goods.
We also have an unusual award, one that was certainly well-deserved, for the most paid registrations. We only had one individual who actually registered twice, filled out all the information twice, even sent in his money twice — a refund for Keith Seeley.
As you may remember, there was a discount deadline, so if you registered by midnight April 1st, you received a substantial discount. The very last registration, to the minute, receives 4 Taco Time vouchers and the good thing about those is there is no expiry date, so they don’t have to worry about when they get there. Phil and Sherri Gerlock had the last registration before the discount deadline, and because it’s the I.Cl SPOTLITE REUNION, they promptly delivered their registration form at 1.1:30 p.m. to SPOTLITE ESSO. The gas station attendant was thrilled to receive it.
George Virtue reprinted from The Herald, July 18
George Virtue, n Lethbridge chartered accountant, is one of the organizers of the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute reunion here. July 17 • 19.
How did you get involved in this project? Unbeknownst to me, at first. Barb Cole phoned me to look up speakers for the reunion, then asked me to come to a meeting. Then I found they’d put me down as emcee.
When ore you doing the emcee duties? Both the Friday and Saturday nights. On Friday, I'll just tell them a few stories, share a few memories. Then Saturday, I'll be emceeing the formal part of the program, and introducing the speakers.
Who do you have lined up as speakers? We have “Uncle” Ab Paskuski.
I le used to be our vice-principal and he was a great fritnd of the students^HeH' lie relating some of his stories from those days. It should be quite a hoot. Then well also have Madeline Balia reading some of the comments people have written in. when they registered. There are some really hilarious ones.
How many people do you expect? It's for all the grads from 1971 to 197-1, and already 560 people have signed up. including spouses. We anticipate it will be 650 to 700.
What are some of the other activities? On Sunday, there’s a picnic for all the families, at Indian Battle Park. On Friday night, we'll be making presentations for achievements, like having the most kids or travelling the furthest — we have one girl bringing her family nil the way from Denmark. Then we'll also have some fun contests, like with beer caps.
Are most of the people still living in Southern Alberta? No. they’re now literally all over the world. We’ve had some replies from people who can’t come, who are now in Africa, in Europe, and all over North America.
What have been your biggest surprises so fur? It’s the response we've had — we’ve got 50 per cent more people than we had expected — and the amazing things that some of the people are doing now.
Is it too late for LCl grads to get involved now? No. we're still accepting applications. I think we'll do it probably right up to the Friday night. We’d encourage people to get in touch with .Jane Solvcy, 329-0172, if they haven’t registered yet.

This year in fashion, lough guys wear pink, the 80’s arc back, and we’re still wailing for somebody lo fell us I hat Crocs are just a big joke, huge belts, lots of long necklaces and Converse shoes are in once again. Hoodies are si ill in style, but this year they’re all zip-up. Layers are big as well, with kids wearing up to 5 or 6 at a time. Guys are still growing out their hair, and girls ure backcombing theirs. This year, it’s cool lo add your own flair to whatever’s in by doing anything from wearing a bandana around your neck, to coloring your hair pink or piercing your lip. - Alyssa NcQuaid

Everybody knows that we come to school each day to absorb the knowledge and experience that will prepare us for the future. We also know however, that it is not just the classrooms that make highschool such a great experience, but rather the people who sit next to you in those classes. It is the Jokes, the laughter and the good times that make us excited to come to school each and every day. - Yearbook Stufff or me. as primarily a grade nine I cacher.
