SR. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
This is not the president's message I wanted to print. The president's message I wanted to print was to my fellow
graduates ... a kind of "take care of yourself, ya hear". But then the editors of this book didn't want that as a
president's message. "Tell us what council is going to do this year", they said. So even though this is really the
editors' message I'm still president and I'm writing it, so it's a president's message (I think).
Although we've got some objectives, one dance per month, and graduation, we can hardly say that will happen,
mainly because we don't know what the students want to do. Our purpose after all, is to serve the students and hopefully
make them say thirty years from now, "Yup, old Myers School was a pretty good place back in 77-78".
So, that's my president's - editors' - president's message. Don't look for a sequel.
Tom Gillespie
P.S. "Take care of yourself, ya hear."

JR. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
JUNIOR PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
We, the junior council, are responsible for giving the students an enjoyable
school year. Arranging social activities, dress-up days, and assemblies
is mostly on our hands. We, however, can only produce these activities;
you, the students and teachers, must take part. Having a good year means
participation by both students and teachers. Activities such as dances, basketball
games, and other sports may seem only for the benefit of the students,
but are for the teachers as well.
Dress-up days include both teachers and students to develop our school
spirit. As you can see, one of our major goals is to unite the students and
teachers through various activities. We believe if the teachers and students
can be together socially, they can get along better in school, and have a
happier and more rewarding school year.

SWEETHEART PROM
The Sweetheart Prom, probably the most significant event of the junior high year, took place on Feb. 27. W. R.
Myers Disco provided the music until 9:15 when the big moment arrived. Sheri Parker, a grade 9 student, was
chosen as Sweetheart Queen, and as she walked down the aisle, followed by her two princesses, it was evident that
she was very happy.

A total of twelve girls
tried out for the basketball
team this year. Our
coach, Mr. Anderson,
gave us encouragement
when we needed it and
by the end of the season,
everyone had improved
tremendously. We won
more than half of our
games and consistently
gave our opponents a
good fight. Next year
promises to be an even
better season for the
W.R. Myers Saints.

DIVISIONAL CHAMPS
jr. high basketball
This year, the Jr. High
Boys' basketball team was
coached by Dave Nelson.
The team had a 2 win, 4
loss record in regular season
play and competed in
2 tournaments, hosting one
at Myers and traveling to
Hamilton Jr. High for the
other. The 1978 season was
a rebuilding year as there
were only two grade 9 boys
on the squad. We are optimistic
about a strong
team for next year.

Myers' Invitational tourney, which included
teams from Raymond, Brooks, and St.
Mary's, our team captured third place and
Peggy Williams was awarded "Most Valuable

Myers finally beat Barnwell (the team that
they had previously lost 2 games to) to become

Myers' Ski Club enjoyed a very successful year this season, with an
increase in members to 47, and SNOW in the mountains for a change.
The club kicked off its season with fund raising campaigns in the fall.
It ran a concession for the post-season volleyball tourney, catered to
a staff luncheon, and held a bake sale. As we decided to go in style
this year, we said "No" to the Community Club bus and travelled via
Greyhound to Fernie in December and January for one day trips. We
wound up the season with a super weekend trip to Kimberley and Fernie
in March. Highlights of the year:
- Mr. C. got his new poles ripped off in Kimberly.
- Allan Mills "Man, this trip was a slice! ! "
- Craig Martens at top of Bear: "You've gotta be kidding! !"
- John Lothian after he fell and twisted his ankle: Awx! ! ??x! !

The Myers gymnastics club,
under the instruction of Del
Cleland, put in another season
this year. Though large in number
the club is not, its members
have a great deal of fun and at
the same time, learn a thing or
two. The goal is not necessarily
to develop skills for competition
but rather to develop strength and
muscle tone while at the same
time achieving gymnastic proficiency.
At the annual talent
night, the club demonstrated its
capabilities by performing on the
parallel bars.
The club operated from December
to April this year, and
will do the same next year,
hopefully with a few more members.

CHILDREN S THEATER
The success or failure of any drama class is directly related
to the attitude of the enrolled students. They must
be enthusiastic about the activities and be willing to work
co-operatively. This year's classes were of very high caliber
because the students were receptive to the precept
that; "You only get out of a drama class what you put into
it. " Their enthusiasm provided the kind of atmosphere
in which creativity flourished.
The pictures on this page were taken during a performance
at St. Mary's kindergarten. Myers drama students
have entertained hundreds of young students over the past
several years. Prospective students often ask the question,
"Will we be doing Children's Theater?" before deciding to
to enroll in the class or not. This attests to the popularity
of this kind of performance.
Two Myers drama students, Harvey Tams and Colleen
Arnett entered drama competitions in Taber and Edmonton.
Harvey took first place in local competition and both
competitors received high praise from the adjudicators in
Edmonton.
It was a good year!

WRESTLING &
CURLING//
Wrestling // It was a good year for our wrestlers this year.
Liesl Steinborn had a strong season. She went undefeated at a
tournament; placed 4th out of 15 at Rural provincials to qualify for provincials
with the top five wrestlers moving on. She then placed 6th at provincials. A
strong showing for her.
Andrea Harvey was very strong at all tournaments. She made all her
opponents step up and compete as she had a quick start no matter how
experienced her opponent was. She was a rookie who surprised a lot of
wrestlers. She placed second out of 12 wrestlers at Rural Provincials winning
a silver medal. Then went on to place fifth out of 15 at Provincials.
Peter Waeckerlin surprised the provincial wrestling world last year by
winning a bronze medal in provincials. This last season he was strong at all
tournaments. He placed first out of 12 wrestlers at Rural Provincials winning a
gold medal. At Provincials he placed third to win a bronze medal, narrowly
missing out on a chance for a shot at the gold. He was ranked as the #1
wrestler in the province for most of the year in his weight class.
He might have lost a couple matches, but was never beat. He was a
strong wrestler who was very respectful of his opponents and represented
his school very well. Our Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Year award was
given to Peter Waeckerlin.
Curling // There were two curling teams this year. The mixed team
comprised of Keeley Miller, Cole Swarbrick, Karlee Martin and Thane
Buckingham, won against Bow Island at Divisionals and moved on to Zones
in Lethbridge. At Zones they placed third. The girls team, comprised of Sonja
Mellema, Ashleigh Little, Jordyn Clarke and Jessi Young, had a bye at
Divisionals and moved onto a great first appearance at Zones.

W.R. Myers 2016-2017
A classic Broadway musical. A timeless story of the intergenerational
conflict. This play had been on my short list of possible productions for
years, the problem being, “Who would play Tevye?" The role demanded
that “just right” actor. After working with Diane Llewelyn-Jones on Annie
she approached me with a solution. Do the show the way Myers had done
it in 1975, have a school staff member play Tevye. In 75 Mr. Frank Sudol
rose to the challenge of playing Tevye, in 2017 we were blessed to have
our own very talented staff member Mr. Dale Friesen assume the mantle
of Teyve. It seemed that Fiddler was destined to be produced at Myers at
least one more time. This is not to say the play was not without its
challenges. A significant technical hurdle had to be cleared when we were
not able to recruit a pit band, and there is always the task of turning the
gym into a theater for a 3 day run of the show. Thanks to an amazingly
talented, and energetic production team Myers was able to provide a
venue to show case the talents of sixty-two students. When we did Grease
in 2007 I did not know what to expect, would students participate, would
an audience come? It is as they say, “If you build it they will come.”
Through the years Myers musicals have enjoyed tremendous support from
the school body, and community at large, and I am very grateful for having
the opportunity to play my part as a director, stage manager, lighting &
technical director, and as with Fiddler, producer. I am especially grateful
for my senior production team:

TRAVEL
CLUB
This year the Travel Club used the Easter Holidays to travel
to Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Italy, and The Vatican!
travel club// We were gone a total of 11 days,
and with the help of our tour guide Paolo, we
walked over 83 kilometers! We went shopping
in Prague, took a tour of the city, and tried
some delicious food!
After that, we drove to Munich and went to
Dachau concentration camp for a sobering
reminder of what not to let ever happen again.
Afterwards, we visited the Palace in downtown
After Munich, we travelled on to Austria and the Swiss
Alps. There was a lot of snow and it reminded us of home!
We drove up the mountain to see Neuschwanstein castle. It
was like looking at something out of a story book! After a
long, windy up hill climb on foot we were taken on a tour. It
was breathtaking!
Munich as well as having pretzels and
schnitzel! We watched the Glockenspiel clock
chime and walked around MarienPlatz.
Our group made some lifelong friends with others that
were on our bus-from Calgary, Quebec and
Massachusetts! It truly was a trip of a lifetime!
A tour of the city helped us understand where
the Nazi regime started from and how the city
dealt with Hitler during The Second World War.

The Concert and Stage Bands had
a busy year. They performed at the
Tri-School BBQ, Remembrance Day,

The Concert Band also hosted the
Dr. Hamman Grade l'sto show

at two schools, participated in a
music clinic, went to see Roger and
Hammersteins' Cinderella and also
saw the Calgary Philharmonic
Orchestra perform music from Elton
John, Andrew Lloyd Weber and Paul
McCartney and ended the trip by
playing laser tag.

RUGBY "
The JV season was successful once again. This rugby program that aims to develop
fundamental rugby skills and to learn the complicated game of rugby was well received by the
girls. The team's record was as even as it gets - winning exactly half of the games in both
tournaments as well as league play. The team was young this year, but that was not at all
shown in their courage, work ethic, and willingness to succeed. Well done on the season ladies!

Our track and field team was small but very competitive.
Unfortunately the weather was not very cooperative for our
divisional and zone meets. Our athletes put in their best effort
and were very successful. Cody Stange was the aggregate
champion for Grade 9 Males and placed 4th in the 100 and
200m races at Zones. Dylan Johnson defended his zone title
in the 3000m race which qualified him for provincials in
Edmonton.

W. R. Myers High School 1988
No full textThe annual publication of the students of W. R. Myers High School Taber, Alberta. (Volume 1987-1988)pdfLife is a series of experiences, and most of us have
the goal of having as many quality experiences as
possible in hopes of having a full and rewarding existence.
Our goal at W.R. Myers High School is to provide
experiences whether they be educational,
recreational, or social which will most enrich the lives
of our students. This yearbook attempts to capture and
preserve some of these experiences along with the
people who helped make them possible.
Congratulations to Mrs. Mayer and the students in
the Journalism class for all of the hard work which
they expended in compiling another outstanding
yearbook. Especially though, we extend our appreciation
to all of the staff and students who helped make
the 1987/88 school year such a memorable one.
Because of you, this book is possible; and because of
you, we are able to relive the experiences of this past
year again and again.
School tends to be nostalgic as time goes by.
Hopefully, the graduating class will have fond
memories of W.R. Myers and the lessons learned will
be of value as you progress through life. Difficult
times will face you in the future; but I know, that with
the grace and determination you have acquired, those
challenges will be met and conquered.
For the returning students, you have the opportunity
to build your memories at W.R. Myers. Those leaving
have left a legacy; take it, build on it, and make it
yours. To all students - good memories and great
success!

Well, here it is! (finally) We hope you are
pleased at what you see when flipping
through pages of the 1988 yearbook
"GRAFFITTI".
This is my first (and unfortunately my last)
year to have been part of the Yearbook Staff. I
encourage each of you to perhaps join in the
challenging efforts, worries, problems, hard
work, shall I go on?! But really, it was fun
making such a unique book.
We feel a yearbook is an important part of
your high school years; being able to look at
it 10 years from now and remember what
W.R. Myers was like, so don't let the
memories die!
Best of luck to everyone in 1988/89.
A warm thank you to the following people for their help in putting the yearbook together - without
them, it definitely would have never gotten done!
Ms. Mayer - our advisor
Reid Felske - our representative from Jostens
David Bly and Greg Pender for pictures
The Students who let us take your mug shots for candids, and those who had pictures we didn't, and
kindly donated them to us.
Last, but never least, the members of the '88 Graffitti yearbook. You guys are the best!!

It has been a rewarding experience to have served
you as student council president. It has been a
positive experience to work with other members of
student council and to become friends with them.
Thanks to each of you, Michelle, Carolyn, Jason,
Lynette, Carrie, and Dana. You were great.
Most important to me, though, were the efforts of
the students in Myers as a whole. We rallied around
one another through thick and thin; we fought our
wars together and enjoyed the good times and survived
the bad. Together we made Myers High School as
good as we could. It's been a great year. One I'll
remember fondly and with great satisfaction. Thank
you.

Being one of the biggest Key Clubs Myers
has ever had, I like to think that we have accomplished
a lot more than in other years.
Among our activities were several fund
raisers and community services. We went on
a bottle drive, ran a beverage booth at the
Christmas dance, held a Caveman dance, and
held a wake-a-thon.
For services we ran two game tables at the
annual community Hallowe'en Party, held a
bake sale and donated proceeds to Care and
Share, and held a free car wash for the
community.
Unfortunately, this year the annual convention
which was to be held in Thunder Bay
was cancelled due to the lack of registrants.
However, to make up for this loss we planned
a trip to Riverside Waterslide for our own
recreation.
I would like to conclude by saying thanks
to all the dedicated Key Clubbers and that I
had a really good experience being the president
of the best Key Club in Western Canada.

Our Fall Concert in November featured guests, the Raymond High School Band, with our band returning the
visit to Raymond in February, and our Spring Concert in April which featured the St. Marguerite High School Band
from Spruce Grove, saw our bands return the visit in May with three concerts in Spruce Grove May 5-7.
Rounding off the year our Concert and Stage Bands combined to form a marching band, contributing to the success
of the annual Taber Rodeo Parade on May 21st.
Our thanks go to members of the Myers Music Association, a group of dedicated parents who have assisted
throughout the year on trips, with the distribution, care and maintenance of our choir and band uniforms, and,
without them, the organization of feeding the masses at our two annual concerts would have been a nightmare.
Special thanks to Ray Sheen who steps down as President of the association, after serving in several capacities
for the last 11 years.

With only four weeks practice under our belts, this year's Stage Band with 50% new members began the season by
performing for Premier Getty and members of the Alberta Legislature in September. Other performances this year included
the opening ceremonies for AgExpo '88 in Lethbridge and the Taber Trades Fair at the Agriplex. Over and above
the annual Fall and Spring concerts, the Raymond and Spruce Grove exchanges, and a concert for the Grade 5 students
at Central, the Stage Band, unknown to Mr. Reid prepared and performed in the farewell supper to Mr. and Mrs. Reid at
the Heritage Inn in June.
The choir grew in strength this year providing the opportunity once again for three-part harmony: soprano, alto and
baritone. Concerts included the Fall and Spring Concerts and the band exchanges. Throughout the Christmas season,
the choir performed at Clearview Lodge, Harmony Home, Homestead Manor, and the Taber Hospital. Our contribution
to the Kiwanis Carol Festival the L.D.S. Stake Centre was televised on CFAC Channels 2 and 7 at Christmas with
featured soloist Kristi Layton.

CHEERLEADING
The 1987-88 school year saw a tremendous change and
improvement in the Myers cheerleader's efforts and talents.
Two years ago we were a very new and raw squad whose
knowledge and skill level, in this widely spreading sport,
was very limited. Today, I'm proud to say, this is not the
case. Through hard-work, dedication and commitment our
team has excelled as a winning team in the sport. At zone
competition, which we hosted, we placed second which
entitled us to proceed on to Edmonton to Provincials. This
was our first Provincial Competition and I'm proud of our
department and efforts while representing our school.
As coach of the team, I would like to take this opportunity
to express my sincere gratitude to all the girls for their patience,
hard-work, enthusiasm and most of all participation
on this team. You as individuals have not only grown and
improved physically, mentally and emotionally but you
have also helped me to learn and grow as well. Each and
everyone of you have left a lasting impression with me.
To my graduating cheerleaders, Cindy, Becky and Holly,
I hope your futures hold all that you dream of and more.
Mrs. Debbie Sargeant

CLOCKWISE: (Coach) Del Cleland, Cindy
Kanomata, Holly Holtman, Steph Giroux,
Coralee Kerner, Tammy Rombough, Lynette
Warnica, Joanna Wilson, Rhonda Renner,
The 1987 Volleyball season was a
learning experience for me as a coach. I
had never coached girls before and I
learned several valuable lessons:
(1) My ego was jolted firmly back into
place.
(2) I was forced to coach from grass
roots for the first time in years.
(3) Girls are more emotional.
(4) Girls can be tough.
(5) Girls are athletic in their own right.
I think the girls on the volleyball team
learned a lot as well.
(1) They learned about discipline.
(2) They learned about the work ethic.
(3) They learned about commitment.
(4) They learned about how to win.
24
Candee Jensen, Lindy Andrus, Karen Steeves,
Erin Anderson, Larita Johnson, Sina Platt, and
Dee Dee Rombough.
(5) They learned about muscles.
As a team we started in the cellar and
progressed slowly upward. We
couldn't beat our way out of a paper
bag in September. By November we
placed 2nd in the League Post Season
Tournament and the McCoy Invitational,
and capped it all off by winning
zones for the first time in 5 years. Provincials
were anti climactic for us, but
all in all the year turned out to be a
good one. 1 thank the girls for their
commitment to a valuable ideal. We
had fun!

This year's girls basketball team became known for its tough, aggressive style
of play. The girls were extremely intense while they played. This was a reflection
of Mr. Stewart's intense coaching. Each player improved greatly during this
rebuilding year, to the point that Myers gave Medicine Hat an extremely close
game at the end of the season. Graduating from this year's team are Tracey
Baker, Julie Evanson, and Deanna Grant, all of whom will be missed next year.
However, with eight returning players Myers is certainly the team to beat next
year.
Heather Chipman lead the team in scoring with Tracey Baker a close second.
Julie Evanson was the leading rebounder and best defensive player. Julie received
an honorable mention all star at the 4A Girls League meeting. Dana Eldridge
was the most improved player, making tremendous improvements in her rebounding
and defense. Tracey Atwood, Deanna Grant and Carolyn Jensen all
became good ball handlers and effectively handled presses. The remaining
players, Andrea Jensen, Marcy Sebok, and Jackie Cline all became quality subs
that actually benefitted the team when they entered the game. Unfortunately,
Karen Steeves was plagued with a knee injury that kept her out of action most of
the year.

BOYS SENIOR TEAM
This year's Rebel basketball team was a talented and aggressive team. The
record was 24 wins, 13 losses. The team won the St. Mary's Warriors tourney,
the MHHS tournament, and finished third at the L.C.I. tournament. The team
was led by Grade 12 centre, Larry Johnson. Brad Krizan also had an outstanding
season. Grade 12 graduating players are Monte Layton, Cam Francis, Jim
Brown, and Larry Johnson. These guys gave their hearts and 100% effort to the
program and will be missed.
Thanks to my stats: Michelle Fawns, Carla Anderson, and Mandy Shewchuck.
Myers students were awesome. We averaged about 500 fans per game and their
noise level and enthusiasm was superb. Thanks to the cheerleaders as well -
you were great!
I hope you will look back on this year with fond memories. I'll treasure this
year as I hope you will.
J.V. BASKETBALL 1987-88
This year's J.V. Basketball team started off slowly but ended as a contender.
The team worked hard and made notable progress in individual, and team play
throughout the season. They brought home to Myers the championship trophy
from the Medicine Hat Junior Varsity Basketball Tournament; and, by midseason,
the Junior Rebels were competing for a top four-spot in the league.
The team had many games that were decided by three or less points, which
always made the games exciting to watch. Of these games, the Junior Rebels
had a one-point loss to the eventual league tournament champions, L.C.I.; and
against the eventual league tournament champions, Medicine Hat, the team
suffered losses of only one and two points in regular season play. (Our boys
also beat them by 20 points in the championship game of the aforementioned

MYERS STUDENTS
PAINT A PICTURE OF FUN
As they let their true colors (red and gold)
show through.
What is “The Art of Fun”? If you were to ask any one of our students,
past or present, they would all answer W.R. Myers is the art of fun. Myers
school spirit and loyalty always shines through on our annual Fun Day
at the park. The grades compete against one another in a medley of fast-paced
events ranging from the “Ghetto Van Cram” to the true test of inferiority,
“War Games”, and even included a giant water fight to end the
annual episode. The day was dedicated to our bold football team, but that
didn’t mean they were the only ones having a blast.
The Grade 12’s swept the days’ events and won the school flag which
is a most prestigious event. Participation was great from all ends. The Grade
9’s were naturally a bit shy but soon got into the swing of things just in
time to give the higher grades a run for their money in the final events.
All-in-all, everyone, staff and students alike, will leave Myer’s knowing
that the true “Art of Fun” is not a picture, object or skill, but a feeling
of common bonding and pride like the school spirit that thrives at Myers.

These pages are dedicated to the students of W.R.
Myers for without them there would be no student life.
Student life means different things to different people.
To some, it is sneeking down to the cafeteria to grab a
quick snack, while to others it’s sleeping on the student
couch during spare time. Whatever it is, it’s become an
important part of every school day. It gives W.R. Myers
character so as we look back at our years here we will
have more to remember than tests and essays. We will
also remember that this was the year we made student
life into “A Work of Art”.

Our first dance of the year was
on Friday, September 13. It was
a great success and was the first
dance at Myers to include Grade
9 and the new “no shoes” policy.
This regulation was installed because
the gym floor was recently
refinished. Therefore, it was
nick-named the Barefoot Bash.
The Hallowe’en dance was also
a lot of fun for the students and
many of them dressed up.
Our music and D.J. for the
dances at Myers are supplied by
Evan How. He brings in his own
system and helps make our dances
the big successes they are.

November 23 and 24, 1990 heralded a momentous occasion
for the students and staff of W.R. Myers High School. For
only the second time ever, we hosted the 3A PROVINCIAL
boys volleyball championships. Any time a school hosts a provincial
championship of any kind, it provides the school with
a tremendous opportunity to showcase its student spirit, staff
involvement and school team expertise. We had that opportunity
at this event and exhibited, in all areas, a school that we
can be proud of.
Our tournament chairman is a former staff member and a
dynamic individual, Ms. Debbie Sargeant. Debbie is an organizer
extraordinaire, and the success of the tournament was
due in large part to her super effort.
Our staff got involved in the logistics of such a major undertaking
right down to the last person. They were enthusiastic,
supportive, and showed a pride in our school that only good
staffs can demonstrate. They were also a significant reason why
this event was such a success.
Our student body supported the tournament and our team
for the week leading up to and the days of the Provincial. They
came in numbers, made more noise than I’ve heard at a volleyball
match in this school in a long time, and were a major
reason why I felt so satisfied along with my players at the end
of the tournament.
Our team came to play this weekend. They played their best
ball in 3 years, of what was for all of them, their graduation
year. They played in the best matches of the tournament, and
provided every team they played with their toughest competition.
The final results were as follows:

Semi-Finals:

Wetaskiwin
Wetaskiwin 2, Myers 1
Drumheller 2, Fort McMurray 0
Bronze Medal Match: Myers 2, Fort McMurray 0
Gold Medal Match: Wetaskiwin 2, Drumheller 0
I have coached volleyball at Myers for 16 years, and this
Provincial ranks as one of the best, if not THE best of them
all, due in no small part to the great support from everyone
from fans to committee members. Provincials is a prestigious
event, and we pulled it off with flying colours.

This year we did not pick the theme “A Work of Art” solely
to give credit to Myers talented artists, but also because art can
reflect the 1991 school year at Myers. Any work of art is a skilled
composition filled with color, brilliance, vitality, and a splash of
the unexpected. At Myers you’ll find that everyday and each activity
is filled with all sorts of flare and energy. We as editors
hope you appreciate these elements and reflect upon them.
We would like to extend our appreciation to Jim Saunders, Brandon
Bly, Dave Shritt, and all members of the Journalism class
for making this year “A Work of Art.”

We found it to be a big responsibility to fulfill our commitment
to the students. We had good times and some heated
arguments. A special thanks to Mr. Gammon who was always
there for advice whenever we needed it. I would like to thank
all the teachers and students that helped us out during the year.

GRAD COMMITTEE
This year’s Grad Committee had
a challenging task. It was decided
that this year’s celebration would encompass
two days: a senior dinner
and dance on May 24 and a cap and
gown ceremony on June 26, after
the last exam. These events both required
the committee to meet once
a week to make decisions on a variety
of things such theme, music,
invitations, decorations, etc. All of
this takes time, patience and commitment.
We would like to thank the
graduating class for their support in
the new format and wish next year’s
committee good luck.

STUDENTS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING (SADD)
A few students got together in
the beginning of the school year
to promote the idea of students
against drunk driving through out
the school and community. We
went to Medicine Hat to a three-school
conference to get our
ideas. We then had our meetings.
We had many ideas proposed for
the year; however, only a few
were carried out. We had a
starve-a-thon on January 18-19
to raise money. We gave certificates
to Checkstop to give to
people who were caught not
drinking and driving. We also
entered a float in the parade.

On Wednesday, May 1, 1991, the second annual Myer’s Art Show was held in
the school gym. There were many displays present including those of various groups
and individuals. An industrial arts class had a display and a Book Fair was present
in which anyone could adopt a book and donate it to the W.R. Myers Library. Some
of the students from Art classes 10, 20, and 30 had art for sale. No matter what
your taste in art, you were bound to find it among the many different pieces of
work done by these students.
A talent show ranged from a “Salute to the Troops” dance (Sharia Nishida, Lisa
Smith, Larissa Collett and Kim Hart) to vocal selections (Becki Gough and Angela
Jensen) to an acting solo from Thornton Wilder (Darcea Murphy). Also displaying
their talents were Cara Garrett with an oral interpretation, Joseph Anderson on the
piano, and Kent Pryor with a clarinet solo.
As incentive to attend the art show, a $100 door prize was offered to students
who attended. Patricia Wright was the lucky winner of the evening.

The 1990 season found the Rebels rebuilding since half of the team
graduated last year. This season the team finished in second place in
the Tier IH division of the Southern Alberta High School Football League.
The team’s season was highlighted by victories over St. Mary’s, Kate
Andrews, and High River, as well as a close loss to Winston Churchill.
In playoff’s, the Rebels soundly defeated St. Mary’s again before losing
a hard fought game to Raymond in the league’s Tier III final. Raymond,
as well as Cardston, and L.C.I., went on from the league to win provincial
championships in their respective tiers. Another highlight for
the team was the selection of Jeff Thurston as a league all-star at the
defensive tackle position. Jeff also won an honorable mention on offensive
line along with Jared Bly (defensive back), Ryan Buck (running
back and linebacker), and Randy Oliver (receiver).
Throughout the season, the Rebels continued to improve and to mature
with experience. Many key roles were played by returning players
and it appears the Rebels will be back in contention next year. This
year’s team also sees the graduation of many players whose leadership
and examples will be missed.
Joining the coaching staff this year was Wayne Pallett. His experience
was welcomed by the returning staff of Chip Koop, Keith Williams,
and Darwin “Top Dog” Lund.

The junior varsity team went through a roller coaster ride.
The team started out with several wins over their league opponents
but, halfway through the season, were met with a number
of defeats. Despite the downs, the girls continued to improve
their skills and maintain their enthusiasm. Because of their consistent
efforts, they had more victories at the end of the season.
Several of the Grade 9 and 10 players also played on the
senior team. The seniors had a very busy schedule. Like the
juniors, the seniors practiced every day from the end of August
to the beginning of November. Besides playing in league
games every Tuesday, the team competed in tournaments every
weekend throughout the season.
Although the girls competed well in tournaments, they never
placed first. With regard to the zone playoffs in Cardston, the
team came close to defeating McCoy High School from Medicine
Hat in the semi-finals; McCoy ended up going to provincials.
The senior team will be losing five players since they will
be graduating. We coaches and the remaining players wish these
people all the best. Those who will be coming back should form
a strong base for next year’s team.

The 1990 Myers Saints volleyball season concluded a four year
effort to re-establish boys’ volleyball. The seven players that constituted
this year’s team were what remained of the 12 players that
started in Grade 9. Making this team competitive has not been easy;
they are an odd combination of talent and mental attitude, but the
team all stuck it out. Our team became consistent, focused, and it
all paid off in a provincial bronze medal.
I remember walking in with the team at the opening ceremonies
in front of our own school; the frustration of our first game; beating
Drumheller in a two-hour match; the tightest game the team played
during the semis against Wetaskiwin; re-grouping to easily win against
Fort McMurray for the bronze; and hearing about all the fun the
team had at the post-season party.
Competitive athletics teaches you a lot about yourself, whether
you know it or not. Each and every one of the players will go down
on my list as individuals who learned from me and taught me at the
same time. As a coach, I thank you for your dedication to my ideals
and your commitment to finish what you started.

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!

businesses and families. Our community has donated 16 885 this year!
Unfortunately, we could not celebrate the academic successes of our students with our annual evening event. But we still took the time
acknowledge these amazing and talented students on their academic accomplishments! We hope to return to our evening event next
year!

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

TRAVELLING
At Myers travelling is a big part of student life,
whether it’s getting to school, cruising the
strip, or heading away to a big game. Our
yearbook is a road map for 1990 of the things
we accomplished and the good times we’ve
had.
Rich Nagai and Scott Urano (top left) travel
in style as they head out on foot. Kim
Jespersen, Norma Powell, Rhonda Renner,
and Tammy Rombough seem to be saying
“bottoms up”, and Brad McCarty is exiled.
Hopefully, Myers students will continue to find
good times and succeed as they follow the
roads life leads them down.

On Good Friday, April 13,1990,15
of us left on our journey to the
U.S.S.R. While we were gone for
10 days we visited Leningrad,
Moscow and Helsinski, Finland.
We spent 4 days in Leningrad
where we saw the Peter-Paul
Cathedral, the Winter Palace and
the Hermitage Museum. We even
saw a Russian Circus. From there
we took a 9-hour train ride across
to Moscow, home of the world’s
largest McDonald’s. It only took us
a half hour to wait to get in and the
line up was only a few blocks long.
While in Moscow for 3 very full
days, we visited Red Square, the
Kremlin and many cathedrals. We
also went to the New - Maidens
Nunnery and the Bolshoi Ballet.
Many times we had to take the
Metro (subway) back to our hotel,
and it’s true what they say about it.
It is the cleanest and the most
beautiful subway around, made
with marble archways and tiled
walls and floors. Our last night was
spent in Helsinski, Finland. We
were only there for a short time but
it’s where we had our best meal.
We went to Pizza Hut. - Kyla Wyatt
What I liked most about the trip was
the people we met. I met people
from Britain, Switzerland, Ireland,
Sweden, Germany, U.S.S.R. and
all over the U.S. We toured with a
group of students from Delaware.
They were a lot of fun!! - Aimee

“Fun Day”, September 15, has become a tradition that is enjoyed
by all students at Myers High School. Each and every student
proceeds to the Taber Provincial Park where a free lunch
is served by the members of Student Council. As the Grade 10
and 11 students enjoy the sun and fresh air, the seniors take part
in a group picture. Following the lunch, all students are divided
into their respective grades to compete in various activities (van
cram, water brigade, Indian wrestling, beachball volleyball). The
winning grade has the pleasure of taking the “Rebel flag” to the
traditional first home football game . .

We started the year as a club and ended it as a family who learned to work together to accomplish
goals. We helped Student Council by decorating for dances, challenged the Kawa-nian’s
to a volleyball game (which we won), held Bingo’s for the Senior Citizens, hosted the
Hawaiian Dance, and we miraculously stayed up for 36 hours. The money that was made
from the Wake-A-Thon was donated to the Taber Food Bank. Some of us even went to a convention
in Saskatoon, where we learned that we are the #1 Key Club in Western Canada!!! I
believe that we can continue to live up to this great honor as long as we work together as a
whole.
I would like to thank everyone for helping make this such a successful year and I hope that
this year has been as much fun for you as it has been for me . . .

This year the Concert Band has been
working along with the Stage Band
for future touring and new instruments.
These efforts involved selling
raffle tickets for cars and selling
vegetables (donated by Mr. Pat Shimbashi).
The many performances of
the Concert Band included a fall concert
and a music festival in
Lethbridge, in which we received a
“2” (excellent) rating.
The band finished off its year of hard
work with a very successful performance
at the International Concert
held in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan.
There they placed third among twelve
bands.
Thank you to all parents and students
who helped make this year a success.

This group is an elected body who actually
begin their work the year before they graduate
by being in charge of cleaning up the Civic Centre.
In September, their real work begins. This
is the group that decides on grad T-shirts;
orders invitations, napkins, and cap and
gowns; determines and orders decorations;
and devises a theme. This group also organizes
the sale of oranges which is the main
source of fund raising.
All of this takes a great deal of time, patience,
and commitment. We would like to thank the
graduating class for their support and wish next
year’s committee good luck.

In 1989 the Fighting Rebels had only one exhibition
game which was in Conrad, Montana. The
Rebels also attended a tournament in Edmonton
at the Archbishop O’Leary High School where
they played six games of 20 minutes each.
The regular season began with a loss to L.C.l. on
September 6. On September 15 and September
22 the Rebels lost two close games to Cardston
and Winston Churchill respectively.
On September 29, the Rebels dealt a loss to the
Raymond Comets. On October 5, the Rebels
handed out their first shutout against St. Mary’s
Warriors. The winning streak was not to continue,
as on October 13 the Rebels lost to Catholic Central
of Lethbridge, 6-0. However, the team was
soon to redeem themselves by defeating Kate
Andrews on October 20.
Then came the test of strength: the playoffs. The
Rebels hoped for a repeat performance as they
had to face the Raymond Comets again. The
Rebels defeated Raymond Comets by 1 point.
The Rebels then defeated the Black Diamond
Drillers by 1 point and the McCoy Colts by 6
points.
As the team began to realize it was possible to be
provincial champs, so did the school and
everyone turned out for the final game only to
watch the Rebels fall 6 inches short of winning the
Provincial Championship by being defeated by
the Rebels of Rocky Mountain House.

SPIKE
The 1989 volleyball season for me was a
definite enigma. We did turn our season around
from the previous year indicated by the results.
However, we failed to achieve some personal
goals, which will mean we will have to work extra
hard next year to make up for that. As a
team, we failed to become a “team”. A whole
bunch of “individuals” got together this year to
play volleyball. Each player had only one major
consideration -- himself. You can’t win the big
ones with that attitude, and we didn’t. We had
the talent to win but not the mental maturity.
This is why we didn’t achieve our goals.
If we mature mentally in the 1990 season, we
will be one of the best 3A teams in the province.
If we don’t, the year will be a long and fruitless
one. Myers High School will host the 3A provincials
in 1990 and I hope that our team to a man
will be looking for a provincial win in their
graduating year.

The 1989 Saints volleyball team enjoyed a successful season, finishing with a 76-69 win-loss
record.
After placing 4th in the pre-season tournament at Myers, the girls were unable to advance at
SAIT, U of L, and Okotoks. The team steadily improved during the season and placed 3rd at McCoy
tournament. We were eliminated by the 2A Provincial Champions Crowsnest Pandas in the
semi-finals.
We defeated our cross-town rivals from St. Mary’s in the last league match of the year, leaving the
Saints in a four-way tie for second place. Allison Schneider was chosen as a league all-star.
In the post-season tournament we went 6 and 2 in our pool and defeated Winston Churchill in the
semi-finals, before bowing to L.C.I. in the championship final, two games to one.
At the zone championship, we were 6-0 in our pool and defeated Catholic Central in the semifinals
to advance to our second championship final match in two weeks. We were defeated by a
strong McCoy team who went on to represent the south zone at provincials in Barrhead.

This year’s edition of the Myers Varsity Rebels had an
outstanding season. The team had a 20 win-10 loss record.
This included a second and a third place finish at the two most
prestigious basketball tournaments in the province. The team
was ranked as high as sixth in the province at the 4A level.
Given the school size, this is a fantastic indicator of the level of
“hoops” played here. The squad won the school’s first-ever
league championship.
The league scoring champion was Grade 10 student Tim Roll-ingson,
he also received a first team league all-star and all-star
recognition in the Sugar Bowl and Tri-Prov. Tom Anderson
received all-star recognition in the Sugar Bowl as well.
Captain Rob Oliver is the coach’s choice for team M.V.P.,
though, with his outstanding, courageous efforts game in and
game out.
Tim Rollingson, Coach.
With skilled players and a keen work-ethic, the Junior Varsity
team managed to have an 8-11 win/ loss record and finished
in 5th place in the Junior league.
Jared Bly provided leadership and guided Randy Oliver to key
shots. Brian Jensen worked hard, while Jason Pack began to
show the skills he is capable of. Ian Harris grabbed key rebounds
and provided muscle for the team under the hoop.
Cory Nelson helped immensely, while Rob Anderson and
Ryan Harris assisted in ballhandling duties and proved they
could compete when asked. Brandon Bly and Jonathon Bennett
improved throughout the year and relieved the front line.
Each player demonstrated drive, determination and good
sportsmanship throughout the year. W.R. Myers can be proud
of the responsible manner of these young men in this past
year.

year with a 10 win-8 loss record. The Junior Varsity ended
their season with a 8 win-10 loss record. Their season record
was 16 wins-14 losses. Although the Rebels had somewhat
of a slow start, hard work and team play eventually brought

This term is one that Mr. Frank Semaka, our
vice-principal, will always remember. He was
honored this school year by a special day dedicated
to him. This year also, he received the Centennial
Medal in recognition of his dedication to the
teaching profession. These honors, however, were
long overdue. All Myer's students have long recognized
his great contribution to education and their
lives.
Working through 25 graduations and hundreds
of students is his greatest fame. But as well as these
things, often most remembered are the small things
which show the feelings and energies that his
pupils can acknowledge. What other teacher could
handle detention duties for as long a duration with
the only complaint of the large number of students
who perhaps sometimes fail to appear? Who else
could liven up the lecture with an occasional story, or
an explanation of poker or a sour joke? No student
who has ever had the experience of being in any of
his classes can ever forget his style, personality, and
wit.
The little recognition-little in the light of his
achievements and contributions-that Mr. Semaka
has received-will always be foremost in his
memories. But may he always delight in the
memories of his many students and have the satisfaction
of knowing that, although we do not often
show it, we are truly grateful to him for the
tremendous influence he has had on our lives. It is
with great sincerity that we say, "We're proud of
you, Mr. Semaka. "

Editorial
1
This year's edition of The Dawn is unlike any
previous one in content and concept. The Dawn
'68 has been an experiment, a challenging,
exciting and satisfying experiment.
In an effort to present more "action" we have
tried to dispense with as many as possible of the
traditional still group pictures and dull club
reports often borrowed from previous years. In
their place, we have experimented with new,
varied group poses, unique layout techniques,
more interesting copy ( reports ) and new
materials.
We are aware that not all of our revolutionary
ideas will be approved of. However, it is our
hope that those who are dissatisfied will support
the next staff with their suggestions and assistance.
Like any experiment, the Dawn '68 has
required an extraordinary amount of time and
tedious effort. A common comment among our
staff, none of whom had had any previous experience
with the production of a yearbook,
was, "I never realized there was so much work
involved!" The yearbook is thus the efforts of
many; my thanks are extended to all those
responsible.
It is when we view the actual published
product, instead of a paraphernalia of assorted
pictures, bits of typing, dummy pages, and
layout mats, that our efforts become a
worthwhile experience.
Our experiment will be justified and deemed
successful if the Dawn '68 gives you much to
reminisce of this school year.

Administration - "The Top Three"
These three gentlemen have been entrusted with
the awesome task of guiding the education of the
eight hundred not-so-studious pupils of Myers. Fulfilling
their duties efficiently, they hold the respect
of all. Thank you, Mr. George, Mr. Semaka, and
Mr. Francis for your devoted, untiring efforts and for
the interest shown in each one of us . . . you have
truly added much to our memories of high school!
Congratulations to Linda Fong and her committee
for the long hours of work and planning that have
resulted in this fine edition of '68 Dawn. A real
effort has been made to make this yearbook unique.
Preserved between its covers is the history of a year
at Myers School. In addition to the pictures of all
the students- the pictures of the activities ranging
from initiation to graduation are a storehouse of
memories. The publishing of this yearbook is
truly a worthwhile venture.
I would like to share with all the readers of this
Yearbook a definition of education. Education is not
a thing or a place; it is a process. Education is the
process of producing a person who is publicly useful
and privately happy. Education is not to be confused
with attendance at school. Attendance may be
necessary but it does not guarantee an education.
Education is the spark of insight into a problem, it is
the revealing of relationships between events, it is
the appreciation of the struggle of minds that has
provided us with the tremendous fund of knowledge
that is now ours. Education is listening to the spoken
word and reading the written word; it is taking the
ideas of others, analyzing and sifting them, and
coming up with a conclusion or generalization of
one's own.
Education is learning to accept responsibility for
one's own actions whether that action be lack of
preparation for an exam, or whether that action be
hookey playing-both have consequences that are the
responsibility of the doer.
Education is probing the internal organs of a
preserved frog, it is developing a skill of the basketball
floor, it is polishing and refining an essay, it is
making a painting come to life, it is struggling with
a complex problem.
Thus, education is a many faceted diamond, with
each facet requiring the effort of the learner to
polish it to brilliance. Education is obtained by
those who work for it.
I believe that the facilities, program and staff
at Myers school are among the best to be found in
Alberta. May I urge all who have the opportunity to
take full advantage of the education available
here.

In Memoriam
On June 8, 1968, the W.R. Myers School was saddened
by the sudden death of Tom Nelson, a popular sport's enthusiast.
Since coming to Myers five years ago from Stirling, Tom
had made many friends and had become well-known in
Southern Alberta high school basketball circles as an All-
Star.
It is in his memory that we dedicate this page of Dawn
'68 to Tom.

Class ’68 History
Bette Jo Hamman
We, the graduating class of '68, were born smack
in the middle of the 20th century.
To be alive in such an age.
With every year a lightning
Page.
Turned in the world's great wonder
book.
Whereas the learning nations look.
When men speak strong for brotherhood;
For peace and universal good.
We are the product of the years which passed by
fast and furious in a changing world following World
War II, we were part of the twist, the Beatles, color
television, jet propulsion, Canada's Centennial, the
space era, the New Math, go-go dancers and the
mini-skirt.
Think of that glorious golden morning of
September, 1956, Brave mothers of Dr. Hamman,
Central, Barnwell, Kinniburgh, and the L. T.
Westlake districts clasped the eager ones tightly by
the hand as the little rascals skipped along, anticipating
the grand adventure of school. With scrubbed
faces and toothless smiles, we took the first step
toward the future which so hopefully belonged to us.
It was a new and very different world. We entered
timidly, because it was a world of faces we did not
know. It was our secret fear that the teacher would
expect us to read and write on the first day. We had
shy fears of having to go to the bathroom and not
wanting to ask.
But after the first week, school was a place of
laughter, scuffling feet, whispers, and old friends.
Listening intently, we ventured through the magic
doors of storylands. Then joy burst upon us as we
began to understand, following directions, and
thinking for ourselves. We rested our little heads on
our desks and peeked, squirmed, and suppressed our
giggles, for the minutes of rest seemed so endless.
During elementary school, we blessed the relief
of recess as we ran, jumped, and shouted after being
subdued for over an hour. We remember the refreshing
coolness of the drinking fountain water; the good
smell of fresh air; and the freedom in games of
baseball. We learned to accept criticism when we
did something wrong.
In 1962, we, of different schools met on a
common stamping ground in Junior High. We were
together--our country cousins of Kinniburgh, the
sophisticated ones of Central, the intellectuals of
Dr. Hamman, and the delinquents of L. T. Westlake
who played a mean game of football, with the girls
as the star quarterbacks.
We were all enthusiastic, typical twelve year
olds; bursting with energy, often noisy, very talkative,
and almost immune to discipline. The halls
were our domain. Our lockers were everybody’s
lockers; our books belonged to anyone, and we were
always in a mad scramble to get to class on time.
I'm sure we all remember waving our green slips
frantically as we brazenly entered the classroom late
again. Detentions became an extracurricular activity
where we met our pals at noon hour. Without a doubt,
we were little monsters in Junior High.
In Autumn, 1965, our happy, carefree schooldays
resumed. Barnwell cummuters became part
of our happy crowd of teeny boppers.
During our high school days, we became more
serious as we realized our school demanded the price
of discipline, hard work, and patience.
Tonight, we fully appreciate to be alive in
such an age.
To Live to it!
To Give to it!
Valedictory
Bruce Conrad
"All who have meditated in the art of governing mankind have been convinced
that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth. ”
Those were the words of the ancient philosopher, Aristotle, commenting
on the vital role of education in his time. In our time, the need for education
is much greater. Our happiness, economic success, and well-being in the
future depend on the extent of your education.
Our technology today is expanding more rapidly than it has ever done
before in the history of man. Many new books, especially those on scientific
subjects, become out-dated within five to ten years from the time they are
published. The use of automation is increasing. Computers speed up the handling
of business; run all sorts of establishments from airports to libraries; and
are an indispensible aid to scientific research. They are also essential to
national defence. The heart of the NORAD defence system is a giant computer
which keeps tab on hundreds of flying objects simultaneously and warns of
enemy attack. These remarkable devices are the products of the well-trained
minds of the past. But many people are needed now, and many more will be
needed in the future, just to keep our defense systems up to date. It is indeed
true that the fate of impires depends on the education of the youth.
We graduands have, for the past twelve years, been learning the facts
which will enable us to take our place in the future. We have not been alone
in this effort. Many teachers have laboured to give us the knowledge of past
centuries. Facts which have been accumulating for hundreds of years are now
our personal possessions thanks to their efforts. To our parents we also extend
our personal gratitude. They have given us the rather firm encouragement that
we have needed at times. Yes, our thanks go to all those who have so painstakingly
prepared us for success in the future; a future full of promise.
We will be sorry to leave these familiar hallways and classrooms. They
have been the scene of so many happy moments, and the backdrop for so
many distressing problems. They will remain in our memories forever.
Our high school preparation is now complete; we are ready to go our
separate ways and face the great challenges that lie ahead. May we forge forward
fearlessly and make our lives as successful and enjoyable as our high
school days have been. The future and all it holds is waiting.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Mr. D. V. Kilback
Each school year brings new challenges to students and
staff, requiring fresh approaches to old problems, and a
revised perspective on essential goals.
We have struggled this year with development of course
objectives and evaluation plans, with more weighty final
exams, and a different budgetting system. The School Board
is holding regular meetings in the various schools, thus
enabling members to become more familiar with daily operations.
The cafeteria committee, under sponsorship of the senior
students council, is continuing to provide an effective and
satisfying service to the students and staff. We are anticipating
a substantial upgrading of the cafeteria facilities to further
improve this function.
Our extra-curricular scene has been very exciting and
impressive this year, with outstanding accomplishment in
sports, the fine arts and other activities. We appreciate all
the students, teachers and other persons who have assisted
with coaching and supervising various events during the year.
Our instructional program, with its breadth of academic and
vocational-type courses, need periodic assessment in terms of
value to students and congruence with school and community
objectives.
Again, thanks to our Yearbook Committee and their advisor,
Mr. Hart, for another quality production.

As in the two previous years, W.R. Myers students participated in the Yearbook survey. This year was different, however, as only Sr. High students were involved with the survey. Quite a few surprising facts and opinions surface. For example, Half of Sr. High students never drive a vehicle to school. Almost half of the students chose “Raiders” as their favorite flick. The second top song was one many of us hadn’t even heard of before. And many said their favorite thing to do on a date was “I'll never tell!”?

DEDICA TION
SANDRA LEE
DEBONA
1963-1981
Friendship is a golden chain,
The links are friends so dear,
Time can’t destroy its beauty,
For as long a memory lives.
Years can’t erase the pleasure
That the joy of friendship gives;
To have an understanding friend
Is worth far more than gold.
Sandra’s main concerns were always her friends and family and being happy. We will always miss you, Sandra,
but we know you’re happy now.
With love,
All your friends

VALEDICTORIAN — lynda callaway
The valedictorian for the 1982 graduating class was Lynda Callaway. In her valedictory message, she
emphasized the value of friendship. She used the poem “Old Friends and New Friends,” by Joseph Parry,
to illustrate her talk. It goes as follows:
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine,
Friendships that have stood the test —
Time and change — are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray;
Friendship never knows decay.
For ’mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas! may die;
New friends must their place supply;
Cherish friendship in your breast —
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.

GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL
The 1981 girls' volleyball season was basically a
rebuilding year. The team lost 4 out of the 6 starters due
to graduation. The team now consists of 5 rookies and 1
grade 12.
The year started out slow with the team only placing
4th in the pre-season tourney held in L.C.I. We then
moved on, participating in 2 Medicine Hat tournaments.
The 1st was played at Medicine Hat High where we placed
4th. Next, we travelled to McCoy, where we lost out in
the semi-finals and placed third. Bow Island was the 1st
tournament we won, beating Crescent Heights in the
final games. The University of Lethbridge Classic tournament
was another good one for us, winning the consolation
side.
Through out the 3A season, there was one tough team
we had to play before we could get into provincials. But,
unfortunately, they kept beating us in league play, and it
seemed almost hopeless that we could participate in
provincials.
When the zones were held in Crowsnest, we made it to
the finals and were up against Catholic Central (the team
sure to win). Again, it seemed almost impossible that we
should even have a chance. But with the help of Dennis’
preparation it seemed very possible. There were three
games in the championship match, and we won the 1st
with the score of 15-11. The next game we, again, were
ahead 13-9, but couldn't hold on to it and lost, 13-15.
The 3rd and final game was the decision. Though we
played past our mental ability, and were neck in neck
with them all the way, it slowly slipped out of our hands
for a 13-15 final score.
Through the year, there was one main factor that we,
as a team, relied on to get us through the season. That
was our coach, Dennis Fujimagari. He was a very young
coach who took on the task of coaching a bunch of noisy
girls. We owe this year to him and it wouldn’t have been
half as fun as it was without him. Though we never got to
thank him in person, we would like to thank him now, in
this write-up. He is a special guy to all of us and we hope
he’ll be back next season.

BOYS' VOLLEYBALL

David Anderson, Brad Robinson, Dick Eto. Missing: Lon Ferguson.
Our 1981 volleyball season was, in 2 words, “pretty good.” We
lost only one player to graduation from the previous year, which
was a complete rebuilding year. As with last year, we were not a
tall team, but concentration and defense and another 50,000
stairs produced a team that would jump and play with taller
teams.
The S.W.A.V.A. league was weak this year, ourselves and
Winston Churchill being the only strong teams. The stage for a
long-standing rivalry between these 2 teams was set in the preseason
tournament when we met in the final. Winston was too
much for us, and we lost, but the grudge had begun. One week
later, we met again in league play. We crushed them in the first
game 15-5, and it looked like revenge was ours, but 4 games later,
we lost the 5th game in a best of 5 match. Beating Winston would
have to happen another day.
At this time, we launched upon our tournament season with a
trip to the 3rd Annual Medicine Hat College Tournament. We won
this tournament for the second time in 3 years, beating Richmond,
Sask, in the final. Victory was short-lived, however, as the best we
could do in the next 2 tournaments as Medicine Hat Highschool
and Lord Beaverbrook in Calgary was a 3rd place finish in both.
We played well, but always made mistakes that cost us in the
semi-finals.
The following weekend we journeyed to a small tournament in
Bow Island, one we had won the previous year. As it turned out,
this was to be the low point of our season. We played poorly and
finished out of the play-offs.
We headed home, dejected, but determined not to have that
happen again. Practices all week were hard and serious in
preparation for the Annual U. of L. Classic. Being disgraced the
previous weekend seemed to be just what we needed, as we
cruised through the tournament undefeated, beating Winston
Churchill in the final. As it turned out, this was to be the first of 4
tournament wins in a row.
The following week we played Winston again in league play.
Neither team was sharp, but we were worse; we lost in 4 games.
Losing to anyone isn't easy, but losing to Winston was almost
unbearable. We would have to wait another day for revenge.
The next weekend we travelled to McCoy in Medicine Hat to a
tournament we have attended religiously since I have coached at
Myers, but had never won. I have had super teams in the past that
should have won it, but McCoy always seemed to be our nemesis,
so I never counted on winning, which is what we did, going
through the tournament with a perfect record in match play.
38
Next on our agenda came the league Post-Season tournament,
and our last shot at Winston. We were seeded in opposite pools.
Neither team’s stage was set. We had been playing all day in the
St. Mary’s gym, and not well at that. We came back to Myers, had
our pre-final team meeting, and walked into the Myers gym-home
turf. I don’t know why, but something in the atmosphere felt good.
The gym was full, hot, sweaty — comfortable. The guys were
relaxed, but tense. The rest was history as Myers went on a roll
that left Winston wondering what had hit them. We had just put
together one of the best two games this group had ever played as
a unit and throttled Winston 15-3, 15-3, and leaving no doubt as
to who was the best team in Southern Alberta.
Zones came up the next weekend. There are only 3-3A schools
in Zone 1 and the other 2 have never been strong until this year.
Crowsnest Pass has decided to play volleyball. We met the Pass
in the final after losing to them in the round robin. We won the first
15-12, lost a barn burner in the second. 18-16, then won the third,
15-11. The match was exciting, and what a zone play-off should
be.
Nothing left of the season now except the big one — Provincials,
this year in Drumheller. We didn’t win, but certainly didn't
play poorly. We were in the strong pool, won our first 3 consecutive
matches in straight games, than lost to the eventual winner,
Edson, putting us in second place, and advancing to the
semi-finals against the host, Drumheller.
We put them in a shooting gallery the first game, and manhandled
them 15-5. In the second we were ahead 8-1 when a cold
front moved in. We lost our poise, that game, the next, and the
match.
I wasn't disappointed, however. How can you be with a team
that finished out of the playoffs only once in 10 tournaments, and
won 5 of them. Dedication is something you see less and less in
today’s youth. Playing is arduous, physically and mentally demanding,
and time consuming for both players and coach. But you
also know that the rewards are well worth the cost, because you
have achieved something you have really earned, and not many
things are truly earned in today’s society.
To me, coaching is fun because you get to work with people
who have the same viewpoint you do with regard to sport, and
even though there is a 15-17 year difference in age, they become
good friends after 3 years and 2000 hours of working together. So
thanks to my friends on the 1981 edition of the Myers Saints.
You've made me want to coach another year: MARSHALL

This year a new sport was introduced into W. R. Myers High — Girls' Flag Football. The team, consisting of some girls
from Phys. Ed 10, 20, and 30, was one of the most successful teams in the school. They were the only team to finish their
season undefeated.
The girls’ team played 4 games against WCHS and LCI. These games were tough, physical, contact football. They
were backed by such standouts as Virginia Meyer at quarterback. Shauna Harris at halfback, and Shelly VanCleave at
middle linebacker.

L to R, Back Row: Brent Powell, Neil Powell, Mark Brewin, Mark Francis, Mike Weber, Marshall Kano, Jerry West, Jerry Gardner,
Brad Anderson. Front Row: Julie Anderson, mgr., Tim Rollingson, coach, Heather Paterson, mgr.
This year’s addition of W.R. Myers boys’
basketball had many hi-lites. The team participated
in 5 tournaments. They won the
Creston tournament by beating Earnest
Manning of Calgary 105-62. They finished
2nd in a Medicine Hat tournament and at
the St. Mary’s Warriors tournament and
were consolation winners in Coaldale. The
5th tournament was the 4A Southern
Regional tournament played at the Sport-splex.
Although the team was seeded 8th
they surprised everyone by finishing 5th
and losing a heartbreaking overtime game
to Cardston. That game was played in front
of 2750 people, many of whom where W.R.
Myers students. The team greatly appreciated
this.
The overall win-loss record for the team
was 17 wins, 17 losses. This is greatly improved
from the teams first year of 4A
competition (3 wins, 29 losses). The team
will miss greatly graduating players Brad
Anderson, Brent Powell, Marshall Kano,
Bruce Gilbertson, Jerry Gardner, and Mike
Weber. These players have done an excellent
job in helping establish our school
in 4A Boys’ basketball.
We thank our many fans who supported
us faithfully, and we look forward to continuing
to provide exciting 4A basketball in
our school in future years.
