A Review on Liao’s Dissertation Entitled “The Solutions on Multi-choice Games” and Related Publications
In 2007, Liao finished his Ph.d. dissertation[18](Liao 2007) entitled “The Solutions on Multi-choice Games”. Chapter 1 of the dissertation mainly worked on two special cases of the H&R multi-choice Shapley value. One assumes that the weight function w(j) is a positive constant function for all j 6= 0 with w(0) = 0 and the other one assumes that the weight function w(j) = j for all j. If w(j) ’s are equal for all j > 0 then the formula of H&R multi-choice Shapley value can be significantly simplified to the original formula of the traditional Shapley value for the traditional games. Therefore, as a matter of fact, Definitions 1 and 2 in Chapter 1 of the dissertation [18] are simply the traditional Shapley value. Hence, in most part of Chapter 1, Liao was just writing “new results” of traditional games in terms of the notations of multi-choice games. Furthermore, the dissertation [18] did not cited [7](1994), [8](1995a) and [10](1996) which held the original ideas of its main part of chapter 1.Multi-choice TU games, Shapley value, potential, w-consistency

Hello Rebels Family!
It's easy to believe that the rich and famous are born well...rich and famous. Not so! On the
way to being famous...Gwen Stefani worked at Dairy Queen, Madonna was fired from Dunkin'
Donuts, Brad Pitt handed out flyers wearing a chicken suit for El Polio Loco, Rachel McAdams
was a server at McDonald's and Beyonce was swept up hair in her mother's salon. There are
jobs you will have before you 'make it' too. Some you will enjoy. And some - not so much.
On my way to becoming a teacher I was a waiter, a landscaper, a tree planter, and a
bartender. Some of these jobs I liked and some I hated. But ALL of these jobs brought me to
the profession I love and shaped who I have become.
At W.R. Myers High School we are proud of being a school where every student can find an
avenue for success and in being part of a community where everyone in the Rebel family
strives to find the best in themselves and others. As Christian Larson said, "Believe in yourself
and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."
Remember that you are the star of your own life and that, with hard work, your dreams will become reality!
Take care,
Ken Pon

Wow! What a year! I chose "REBEL RESILIENCE" as the yearbook theme this year as I thought it was rather fitting given our
current 'COVID-1 9' situation. Some of you are already VERY RESILIENT, while others may feel like you are not. One thing is
for sure - you can always WORK on becoming MORE resilient.
Here are 10 ways you can work on becoming more resilient:
Have the courage to be imperfect
Take time for yourself
Sign up for that course, join that club
Be active every day in as many ways as you can
Spend time with people who make you feel good
Laugh out loud each day
Invite your neighbor (friend) over for a cup of tea (chat)
Do one thing now that you've been putting off
Focus more on things you can control
Remember, this too shall pass (~https://wayahead.org.au/get-the-facts/building-resilience/)
Thank you to all those who gave me a big smile (or at least didn't run away) when I put the camera in front of your face! I
apologize to those teams I missed getting photos of (that actually had the opportunity to play). Because this year is unlike any
other, I also decided to change up the color scheme from the traditional red/black/yellow! I would love some feedback on
this decision (love it/dislike it etc).
A huge shout-out to a stellar group of grade 9's who helped me with the yearbook in June (Madisen and Bryden O'Connor,
Kiernan Gyepesi, Will Evanson, Madison Reid, Heston Bevans and Allen Clements). Thank you specifically to Bryden O'Connor
for creating the color graphic used throughout the yearbook.
Some of the quotes found through out the yearbook were from the survey you filled out in the spring, which in, most cases,
does not have the author information and therefore simply states the grade level the quote came from. All other quotes with
Author Unknown" were found online and in most cases didn't have any author information either. In any case, my hope is
that they will either put a smile on your face, make you go 'hmm' or possibly even take time to pause and reflect on the
message being shared. Enjoy! 5

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An Interview with Cass R. Sunstein: Author of The World According to Star Wars
The guest editors of special issue 12, Jason W. Ellis and Sean Scanlan, interview Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard, where he is founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy. He is the author of many books, including the bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness (with Richard H. Thaler). His 2016 book The World According to Star Wars attempts to understand the Star Wars universe in ten chapters through the lenses of Sunstein’s academic interests, namely: culture, sociology, psychology, behavioral science, and political science. The book is both personal and theoretical, practical and academic. It takes accurate measure of the genesis of the movies, the movies themselves, and briefly, but trenchantly, it examines concepts such as reputational cascades and speculates on what Star Wars can teach viewers about constitutional disputes

9/1 1 Memorial museum,
visited Lincoln Center,
Juliard School of Arts, the
MET opera house as well
as taking a fast elevator
ride to the top of the
Empire State building!!!
We shopped, and
shopped, then shopped
some more!
It was an absolutely
amazing experience
with some fantastic
students and parents!!

Principal's Message
Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp.
Or what’s heaven for?
- Robert Browning
Most of us when confronted with the question of what the major purpose in life is
would have a somewhat hazy notion such as ’pursuit of happiness’, or ’do good for others.’
But the most thoughtful of the world's great philosophers are generally agreed that the
ultimate purpose of life is to achieve perfection, and indeed this is the central tenet of the
Christian belief. Too often we lose sight of this goal of life and are overwhelmed by petty
problems and pursue short range goals. We are overly concerned with sensual pleasures and
attempt to satify and gratify every whim of our animal nature. We forget that as men we
are possessed of a rational mind and have implanted within us this urge to perfection.
It is true that while on this earth we can never achieve perfection. But this is not
reason to cease striving for this shining goal. And how do we go about trying to reach
an impossible goal like perfection?
A. D. Selinger
Principal
Taber High School
Discipline. And not necessarily that
discipline which is imposed from withoutourselves.
That type of discipline is necessary and teaches us
how to discipline ourselves, and is, furthermore
absolutely essential to control the behavior of
those who can't or won't impose restrictions on
themselves.
The true measure of a man is to be found
in his ability to discipline himself. He must be
ready and able to control his thoughts, actions,
and emotions at all times and in all situations.
When he fails to do so he has succumbed to his
animal nature and is just a little less a man.
Let us examine a brief example. A student
is subject to many temptations. He wants to stand
on a corner and watch the girls go by, or shoot a
game of pool, or own and operate his own
automobile, or get a job and earn his own money so he will not be dependent on his
parents and can therefore be free of the restrictions imposed on him0 The urge to study and
improve his intellect and moral fibre is all too often weak, and yet it is by his
determination to do so that a student will benefit himself and grow into adult manhood.
How well a student is able to resist temptation to work toward short range objectives and
instead apply himself to the pursuit of perfection will determine not only his own future
and its fulfillment, but also affect the course of the lives of people with whom he comes in
contact.
As Browning states in the quotation above, set your sights high. Success - the real
success which is the fulfillment of man's purpose in life - is yours if you have the
determination and will to achieve.

First, I would like to express my heartful thanks to
those who aided me to become president of the Student's
Union. The preciousness of this experience can never be
evaluated.
It is hoped that the future executives will profit from
the accomplishments of this year's executive.
May I extend sincere congratulations to the Graduating
Class. Good fortune go with you. Assume your responsibilities
as conscientious citizens of Canada.
"Conjunctum Possumus": "Together We Can". Let
our motto remain with all not to remind us of the joyous times
at T. H.S., but to show us the way to become better members
of the community and, above all, better citizens of Canada.

Here we are at the end of another school year.
It is the last year for many of us, but for others it is just the
continuency of an important phase of life. This phase is one in which,
to a great extent, much of your future is being shaped. To those who
are just beginning their High School career I would like to give you a
word of advice: work diligently with your studies at all times and
work also at improving your own personality. Above all, keep on
adding to your store of knowledge from all the opportunities that are
available from your teachers and your school curriculum.
To the Graduates, who are now leaving their old
Alma Mater, I wish to say that I hope you do feel some regrets at
your departure. But I also hope that you are able to look ahead to
your future with eagerness and hope at the new life to come.
This is my last year at T.H.S. , and because of this
I would like to make a plea for my school. I hope that the new
students coming up will do much to give Taber High School a better
school spirit. For it is with things such as this that we are able to help
build a better community and later a greater nation.
In closing, I wish to express my sincere thanks to all
those people who devoted their time in preparing this 1959 edition of
the DAWN for publication.

Class History
Graduation Day, 1959 .' Yes, it's here. Ever since I knew
what school was, I have been looking forward to this day as have most of the
graduates, but now that it is here, it hardly seems possible. The years spent
preparing us for this seem to have flown by incredibly fast. However,
memories creep in of things which have gone before.
Lucille McKay
How clearly that first day of school at Central in 1947
complete with its terror, excitement and wonder can be recalled. Then came
a series of years which were filled with learning and old and new friends.
Who can ever forget our festival and track meet activities with all their fun?
Vivid memories of our teachers in the elementary grades can be recalled,
together with our various moves from the Central School to the little schools
back of it.
With our entrance into Junior High School we not only met
new subjects but new experiences also. In these grades we were given our
first taste of student government and our potential leaders began to come
forth and show their colors. Our final year in junior high Grade IX, marked
with another significant event - our entrance into Taber High School. Not
many will be able to forget initiation with all its sore knees, lipstick
smudges, outlandish costumes and the other necessary evils associated with the
occasion. Departmentals loomed oppressively that year and seemed to present
an almost insurmountable barrier. But this also proved conquerable and we
entered a new era of our schooling, for we are now in High School.
In Grade X our numbers were augmented by the arrival of
Barnwell and Cranford students. This advent led to the making of many new
friendships.
The talents displayed by members of the class of '59 have
been varied. We are able to boast three members of the student executive
this year. Some people have received considerable recognition in the fields
of music, art, drama, scholastic pursuits, and athletics as well as leadership
in the school.
The "might-have-been" which tempers our joy and pride in
the class of '59 is the memory of classmates who have dropped out along the
way to seek employment or have become early casualties of Cupid's Arrow.
But the rest of us - our years of public school efforts almost
complete - pause to remember and can think only of many happy days spent
together. A maze of memories crops up along with a sense of achievement
and a hope that we will prove ourselves to be worthy of T.H.S. as we
venture forth into a new life.
Soon we must physically bid farewell to the school and to
many of our friends, but it is only a physical farewell. We will never be
able to bid adieu to our fond T.H.S. memories. -------

THE WRECKERS
I watched them tearing a building down,
A gang of men in a busy town;
With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty yell,
They swung a beam and a side wall fell .
I asked the foreman, "Are these men skilled,
The men you would hire if you had to build?"
He gave me a laugh and said, "No, indeed .'
Just common labor is all I need.
I can easily wreck in a day or two,
What builders have taken a year to do. "
I thought to myself as I went my way,
Which of these roles have I tried to play?
Am I a builder who works with care,
Measuring life by the rule and square?
Am I shaping my deeds to a well-made plan,
Patiently doing the best I can?
Or am I a wrecker, who walks the town
Content with the labor of tearing down?

Graduation Speaker
At this time I
banquet. It was an
why I enjoyed it so
would like to express my thanks for the invitation to the
excellent dinner and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The reason
much might be made evident from this story:
A certain man was asked to deliver a speech to his club. The night of
his speech his wife asked him to sit down and eat some of the delicious
dinner which she had prepared. But he refused to eat because he felt he
wouldn't be able to give his talk very well on a full stomach, so his wife's
efforts were wasted. He went to deliver his speech. On his return home, his
wife asked him, "Was it a good speech?" He replied, "I should have ate."
MR. NEIL PURVIS
However, I always enjoy an opportunity to speak, especially since it
is the last opportunity for me here.
Tonight, my talk will deal with three main ideas - your self as an
individual, as a community man, and as a world citizen.
Yourself: Are you ready to assume responsibilities? Do you have
trouble remembering? Do you have days when nothing goes right? Do you do
things which you know aren't right? Do you have pet fears, such as snakes?
Do you make the same mistakes more than once? Do you decide to dislike
people a^first sight? If your answer to all or most of these questions is yes,
then you are normal.
This is because the human body is very complicated. Nothing man has
produced is as complicated as man himself, and no two men are alike. We
all live under different environments and difficulties. An European child
raised at the time of the Second World War certainly had different problems
than an American child. If this is so, then it is no wonder that we react
differently.
Elizabeth Ferguson VanHeath in 'So Speak' stated, "Sixteen years ago
my small son paid for the ignorance of some man. My reaction produced
terrible results on my physical health, because of destructive thought. I
thought only of my loss, which is destructive thought material. The only
reason I survived was because of my ancestral blood. Thank God for good
ancestral pioneers. Their gift was - "hang on and refuse to be defeated."
It saved her. Therefore, our thoughts are tremendously important, so you
should develop the ability to think right.
Some suggestions to help you are: Cultivate the ability to listen to
people and hear them. This is in itself a worthwhile effort. Carry your
weight. Share the manual labor. Take your share of conversation. Take extra
time to think of good ideas for improvement. Make timeliness one of your
virtues. Don't lose your sense of humour. Laugh with people, not at them.
In preparation for the world of work, do you know what your abilities
are? Have you thought about it? If so then your success is better than half
assured, because you're interested, able and prepared. Then become
proficient, There is no room nowadays for a man with no training. Be able to
do things well and better and know why.
You are not only graduating from Taber High School, You are now world
citizens. Independence - we don't understand this presently. Everything that
happens to us affects us and therefore we really aren't independent. It is too
late to try and ignore this and feel ourselves superior. That era is past.
You can make your own heaven or your own hell with the same blocks.

Valedictory
Ruth Kadonaga
Graduation 1 It's an event to which we have looked forward
since we first heard about it. At that time it seemed ages away, but now we
are wondering how the time passed by so quickly. Some of us may even
wonder if we are ready for it, but, at. any rate, it makes us stop and reflect
To many of us, graduation means the end — the end of a way of life which
has been our life for the past twelve or thirteen years. To others, it means a
beginning — a beginning of a new life in which we become true citizens of
our community.
Graduation is son end and it is a beginning. It means an end
to a period of formal education which has lasted a dozen years. It is with
sadness that we close this chapter of our lives, for it is always difficult to
leave something which has meant so much to us. When we bid farewell to our
school and to each other, we remember with gratitude, our teachers, those
wonderful, hard working people whc expended so much time and energy for
our welfare----those unselfish human beings who will always be ready to
lend a hand and to help us, and tall we need do is ask. There are two other
people to whom we owe so much. Our parents, who have guided us through
these years of our development with love and encouragement, deserve our
heartfelt thanks. Without them, think where we would be today. Certainly
not here.
Of course, we owe a great deal to our teachers and parents,
but we too deserve a little credit for having reached our present day lofty
status. But rather than dwell on our merits and past achievements, we should
consider our future responsibi I ities and obligations. We have, of course, the
responsibility to ourselves, but more than that, we have a responsibility to
our community. As citizens of our community, we must, each one of us, take
our share of the load and do our best >at all times in order to make our
community an even better place in which to live.
We will meet many problems which will seem insurmountable,
but if during these last years, we have done a good and thorough job of
preparing ourselves for the future, we will find great pleasure in feeing able
to solve these problems. We have been afforded the best of opportunities
by our school, our teachers, and our parents to develop in ourselves those
qualities which will always stand us in good stead and we offer them our
humble and grateful thanks and hope we will never give them reason to be
disappointed with us.
In closing, I'd like to leave you graduates with this wish
may bad fortune follow you all your days and never catch up with you.”

1959 GRADUATING CLASS
Jim Bodie
exams were over, I went home and decided to catch up on twelve years lost
Hidn'^wake up until the year 2000 A.D., and, after having something to eat,
I'decided to find out what happened to the '59 graduating class. What I found was amazing.
|n 1981 Professors Ruth Kadonaga and Alice Kurina crossed a plum tree with a cactus
to get a bush that would grow dried prunes.
Eddie Uyesugi joined the N. H. L. in 1964 and became head of the department in
charge of taping hockey sticks.
Lloyse Henderson received a Doctor of Medicine degree but got into trouble with the
United States government when she grew hair on the bald eagle.
Lynda Turcato and Alvina Hein opened an experimental farm in 1985. They played
Louis Armstrong jazz in the chicken coops and got scrambled eggs.
Jarmila Sajfrt was a member of the Canadian 1968 Olympics team. She jumped a
record of 10' 4" in the high jump but was disqualified for using a pole.
Margaret Racz and Beth McKibben produced a camera that had no need for lens films,
or even light. Needless to say it didn't work.
In 1965 the R. C.A.F. sent Walter Reid to the moon. Walter was extremely
disappointed to find only a big card with the words: "Genuine Swiss Cheese".
In 1966 Gordon Platt entered a round-the-world marathon. Unfortunately, he had to
drop out of the race at Halifax when he realized he couldn't swim.
Bill Tajcnar joined the Calgary Stampeders and was voted Most Valuable Player. It
seemed that whenever he passed the ball and was "nailed" he would deflate it, and while
everybody was looking for the ball he would walk calmly down the field and make a
touchdown.
Bob Bourke became justly famous in theworld of art when he painted the first realistic
picture of a mermaid dressing her hair. He filled her mouth with hairpins.
In 1993, Tom Denis moved to Prince Edward Island where he soon established a ranch
t at was as large as the entire province of Quebec.
b VQn ^'C^SOn became world famous when he originated the Curler's Delight, a
etween game snack consisting of roasted straws from the finest brooms wrapped around forty
pounds of hamburger.
