Kilback Each school year brings new challenges to students and staff, requiring fresh approaches to old problems, and a revised perspective on essential goals. We have struggled this year with development of course objectives and evaluation plans, with more weighty final exams, and a different budgetting system. The School Board is holding regular meetings in the various schools, thus enabling members to become more familiar with daily operations. The cafeteria committee, under sponsorship of the senior students council, is continuing to provide an effective and satisfying service to the students and staff. We are anticipating a substantial upgrading of the cafeteria facilities to further improve this function. Our extra-curricular scene has been very exciting and impressive this year, with outstanding accomplishment in sports, the fine arts and other activities. We appreciate all the students, teachers and other persons who have assisted with coaching and supervising various events during the year. Our instructional program, with its breadth of academic and vocational-type courses, need periodic assessment in terms of value to students and congruence with school and community objectives. Again, thanks to our Yearbook Committee and their advisor, Mr. Hart, for another quality production. ^^•■■■•■■■^■■■■■■■••HMrtMMMMHMIHM^_ __^____i___-_^_i—_— 67 Science: L. to R: Del Cleland, Rex Anderson, Dale Lusk, Dick Robinson, and Ken Lawson.

WW»rW»« WWW MM* MM MMW jam ■•■ > m mi is® «j mi a® WWT The 1983 edition of the WR Myers Yearbook is dedicated to the first Canadian expedition to conquer Mt. Everest —for their skills, strength, determination, and courage to carry on even when faced with death —for their success in “REACHING NEW HEIGHTS” 1 Those who are willing to take steps enough 3 It is more important to know where we are going than to get there quickly 4 Once again this year W. R. Myers students were asked to give their opinions on several topics. The progressive conservative party was the favorite political party in an election. Favorite cars ranged from Ferrari's to Mustangs. The top song was "Mickey” by Tony Basil. And finally the least favorite actress was Brooke Shields. ELECTIONS If there was an election who would you vote for? 1. Progressive Conservative 2. The Rhino Party 3. Mark Erancis (alias ‘‘the King") 4. Ronald Reagan 5. WCC Honorable Mention: Dale Lusk BEST BEATS 1. Mickey 2. Nobody 3. Industrial Disease 4. Can’t Hurry Love 5. Love Me Tomorrow 6. Hard to Say I’m Sorry 7. Maneater 8. Eye in the Sky 9. Eye of the Tiger 10. Juvenile American Princess SOARING SUPERSTARS 1. Harlequin 2. Chicago 3. Asia 4. Head Pins 5. Street Heart 6. Dire Straights 7. REO Speedwagon 8. John Cougar 9. Journey 10.

Cosmetologist 7 One good thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. The activities at the provincial park started at 1 p.m. with a bucket brigade. The group was divided into approximate­ly four equal teams. The awesome team 4, led by Mr. Koski, were the fastest at passing the bucket from the ballpark to the hilltop. Therefore, they were also the first to fill their 5 gallon bucket and win the event. The next event, the log race, saw teams 4 and 2 tie. The team had to carry their log from the ballpark, through the camp area, and then across the river. The first team to get 25 members across won. Center: And the winner of the wet T-shirt contest is . .. Right: Would you believe E.T.’s sister Far right: Key Club traveling incognito. 10 The final event of that day was a tug-of-war. The four teams had a contest in which team #3 emerged victorious. To end it all, the school split into two teams for the last tug-off of the day. To everyone’s astonishment, the rope broke leaving the competitors piled like dominoes. Top left: Clayton Young’s version of a rub­ber duckie. Top right: Neil Powell pours the winning bucket. Center: The battlefield. Left: Mr. Johnson going ape. “Eat your heart out Clyde!” 11 13 “S!” “P!” The cheerleaders screamed . . . “S!” “P!” the students screamed back. “I!” “R!” yelled the cheerleaders . . . “I!” “R!” they yelled back .. . “I!” “T!” “What does it spell?” “SPIRIT!” The pep rallies over the past school year really had a lot of spirit. Students and teachers got in and found out how much fun pep rallies can be. Contests, plays and presentations have all been part of making our pep rallies the greatest. One of the memorable pep rallies was the one at the beginning of our 1982 school year. During this, the grade 12 victoriously won the pyramid contest and the grade 11 won the rowdy flag award. The P.E. 20-30 class also per­formed their aerobics for us. The Christmas assembly was just as fun. Presentations were made to teachers by none other than Santa Claus. This pep rally ended with the whole student body joining in and singing Christmas carols. Student pep rallies this year have really been a success and have shown that W. R. Myers has “SPIRIT!” 14 15 Back Row: Richard Pierson, Mark Brewin, Jerry West, Cliff Hudson, Arthur Hashizume, Neil Powell, Tony Fiedler, Allen Bodner, Miles Lowen 5th Row: Cam Ireland, Casey Carlson, Steven Harris, Scott Paun, Brad Litchfield, Mark Francis, Don Boyle, Derrick Krizsan, Rodney Langkopf, Bernie Krahn 4th Row: Rod Sassa, Todd Pickerel!, John Strugari, Byron Gilbertson, Ron Wagner, Gary Allred, Dick Eto, Jim Hendricks, Trevor Tomlinson, Keith Rawleigh 3rd Row: Roxanne Kurio, Barbara Edwards, Nancy Hoogerdijk, Betty Roth, Sandra Cole, Lorene Edwards, Devany Veres, Ann Russell, Holman, Cara-Lee Ireland, Jody Christensen, Arlene Strugari, Michelle Nielsen 2nd Row: Lynn Fletcher, Lisa Cannady, Pam Callan, Audrey Bullock, Shelley Vanderwal, Sharon Hamilton, Sharon Valgardson, Lori Popilchak, Karen Pyrch, Marissa Enns, Judy Miyashiro Front Row: Kathy Maloney, Linda Fekete, Sheila Evanson, Cathy Evanson, Myrna Ostercamp, Karlen Danforth, Jody Parry, Rhonda Ferguson, Darlene Shaw, Wanda Lund, Lorna Pauls Grad '83 — Struggling around the ice arena for the 80th time for the Skate-a-thon; Having your mother buy 8 boxes of grapefruit to sell your quoto; Filling out nosy questionnares; Practices of every kind — Pasting on a smile for those endless pictures; Hoping not to spill any food on you at the banquet; Finally realizing, happy but sad, that it’s all over and everything is now history.

The diplomas we will receive attest to the proficiency and application during our high school years. With the support of those people gathered here this evening, we have attained the credentials to go on to meet the new challenges which lie ahead of us. Yet this evening is not without a touch of sadness. This is the last opportunity we shall have to meet as students and it may well be the last occasion at which all of will be present. Because this may be our final meeting together, it might be well to look over the road we have just travelled. Three years ago we entered high school perhaps with a trace of hesistance and uncertainty about our immediate outlook as students. Gradually we put to rest those uncertainties and went on to acquire the education and training that we had sought. Another group of benefits, not so easily measured were also ac­quired along the way. I refer to such things as the ability to get along with one another. To understand better the word “sportsman­ship”. To have clearer the appreciation of the rewards which result from perserverance and application. Those of us who, perhaps a bit skeptically entered this school three years ago, have learned today that there is a reward for effort, and that only real effort produces a genuine reward. Success and achievement is seldom the product of just one’s own efforts. Therefore our thoughts turn to those people who contributed the most to our individual successes. I refer of course to our teachers and parents who often had to scold, conjole, console, and through it all lend guidance and support. Perhaps our expressions of gratitude can best be manifested in the coming years by whatever ac­complishments that may become ours. Soon it will be time to pursue new goals. We will face them with optimism, with courage, with determination. Each one of us will soon begin a journey alone toward a chosen task in life. The journey may not always be without its difficulties and temporary setbacks, however, I am confident the virtues and principles which have been bestowed upon us in the past will serve as well in the future. Shortly the vacant places we leave behind tonight will be filled by others, just as eager, just as anxious, just as determined to succeed. It is our sincere wish that all the pleasant and valuable experiences which have been ours, will in due course be theirs. When their turn comes may they be as sorry to leave as we are this evening.

This might well be termed the year of Com-prehensives and Computers. On the one hand we are confronted with a set of external exams and significantly higher requirements for obtaining a high school diploma. The greatest impact will be felt by the lower-achieving students who may have to accept some alternative other than the previously anticipated diploma. On the other hand, we see some exciting possibilities for incorporating computer technology in­to instructional and administrative procedures. During this time of economic restraint, we are faced with a need to carefully examine priorities in our school program and to select those activities which will provide most educational benefit to our students. This assessment is reflected in decisions as to how budget dollars are expended for supplies, equipment, and stu­dent travel. Special events have included the Day at the Park, the trip to Europe, and presentations by Rick’s Col­lege and the Covenant Players. The Graduation Com­mittee has again worked diligently to prepare for an important and colorful annual event. Our inter-school sports programs have once more been highly successful, thanks to the tremendous ef­forts of our students and their coaches and to substan­tial community support. The fine arts programs in music, art, and drama are a very worthwhile comple­ment to our academic core. A stage band for students with special interests, and scheduled in addition to regular band, has made exemplary contributions to the school. In home economics, industrial arts, and business education, our students have received prac­tical knowledge and skills applicable to direct job op­portunities or in preparation for further training. The new Vandalism Reduction program has suc­ceeded threefold — property damage has decreased, students are assuming greater responsibility for their behavior, and Students Council has benefited from the money saved and contributed by the School Board. Under the direction of C. Hart, the students in our small Journalism class have included in their produc­tions a weekly column for the Taber Times, several editions of a school newspaper, and the Yearbook itself. We extend sincere thanks and appreciation to this class for their outstanding quality work and performance. — D. Kilback VEGAS BILLIARDS AND ARCADE Weekdays 11 am — 11 pm Sunday 12 pm — 8 pm 43 R.

Box 610 BELARUS Farm Equipment 50 This year the girls’ volleyball team had a very successful season. The starting six players were all returning players, consisting of: Sharon Hamilton (captain), Audrey Bullock, Rhonda Ferguson, Jody Parry, Pauline Hooge, and Connie Gow. The reaminder of the team were: Lynnece Kerner, Carol Desabrais, Myrna Robinson, Sheila Fujimagari, and Suzanne Vibholm. Our manager this year was Cara- Lee Ireland. Our team started this year off on a good note by winning the pre­season tournament. Many tour­naments followed, which we also had a great deal of success in. We won the pre-season, post-season, league, and zone tournaments. We placed second in all three Medicine Hat high school tournaments. The season was topped off by us going to provincials and capturing third spot. It has been quite a few years since a girls team from Myers has gone to the provincial tournament, but with the help of a great guy we made it. That great guy is Dennis Fujiamgari, our coach. We would like to extend a special thank-you to him for all the time, effort, and support he gave us. Without him we wouldn’t have made it. We also ap­preciated all the support from students, teachers, and the parents, we had a good year and a great time. “Thanks, Fuji” Chinook Gardens Restaurant Specializing in Chinese Cuisine Licensed Dining Room Ph. 223-2632 Banquet Facilities — Take Out Service Taber 51 52 MYERS VOLLEYBALL 1982 1982 was supposed to be a poor year for Myers — but somebody forgot to tell the players. Neil Powell was the only returning starter; we had no returning setters; and only nine people showed up at the beginning of the year. Of this nine, one couldn’t handle the prac­tices and quit after the first week, and another was forced to quit early in the season. This left seven players, one more than absolutely necessary, only 2 grade 12’s, 3 grade 1 l’s, and 2 grade 10’s, one returning starter and no setter did not look good. Dick Eto became an instant setter. Setting 200 balls a day and having the same expected of him as we would an experienced setter gave no room to be anything but good. Cam Shields started as a typical grade 11 — good skills but easy to psyche out — not men­tally experienced. He caught heck every game for the first half of the season. At the end he could probably take on anybody. Jody Slavik was a grade 10 player who was short. All he had was guts, good coordination, and tremendous strength. Jody got chewed out more than anybody on the team, but he took it, learned and had a tremendous first year. Rob Layton was the surprise I needed. Grade 10’s don’t normally play. The game is new to them, and they don’t have the size, strength, and skill to compete. Rob was tall, strong, coor­dinated and learned amazingly fast — the best grade 10 player I saw this year. Dave Anderson was a grade 11 player. He started the year with one year of practice under his belt and not one inch taller than grade 10. Nobody expected him to hit, but he could. He was a hustler with a good team attitude. Neil Powell was my only starter. I expected a lot of Neil. When Neil was hot, we won. When he was off, and that happens, we struggled. Neil’s big improvement was in attitude. He was a team leader in practice and was positive to the game all year. Dwight Harris started a year late — his grade

    The annual publication of the students of W. R. Myers High School Taber, Alberta. (Volume 1984-1985)pdf=2 #7.5'7 IABER PUBLIC LIBRARY^fb^ A year book is usually used in reminiscing about your younger years. Many teachers, parents and “grown-ups” seem to take pleasure in telling teenagers that they should rea ize how happy they are, for their school years will be the best years of their lives. I can remember how ridiculous this statement seemed to be. There always seemed to be much more glamour and prestige linked with my future and with being “older.” I hope that you will remember W.R. Myers with as much fondness as I remember my high school years. We were charged with helping with your maturation and education in a very important and crucial part of your life. I can only hope that we were able to impart some of the knowledge and wisdom that our teachers passed on to us. I wish you all a very happy and fruitful life. PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE VICE-PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Most adults consider the years spent in high school as the best days of their life. This is certainly in my case. I have been most fortunate because, not only was I once a student, but am still able to enjoy the association of students and staff. It is a rich and rewarding experience which, I believe, cannot be found anywhere else. Consequently, it is of the utmost importance to take full advantage of this unique opportunity. Strive during these years for experiences which you can remember with fondness. Endeavor to make memories which you can value throughout your life. These memories will come through participation, com­mittment, and service. I express my deepest appreciation to you, the staff and > the students of Myers High, for making these the best days of my life. EDITOR’S MESSAGE We’ve had an “awesome” time working on this year's yearbook. It’s been a new and challenging ex­perience. We’ve gained a knowledge and better understanding of human relations. (Right Lonnie and Mrs. Thompson!) We also learned the art of chewing gum. (QUIETLY!!) It was great getting to know everyone and working together as a team. Special thanks go to Mrs. Thompson, who put up with alot from us and spent alot of extra time on bringing this yearbook to you. All in all it’s been a rewarding and fruitful experience and the knowledge and benefits will remain with us forever. KERRY HARRIS TODD LUND CO-EDITORS W T 4 LOOK, TWINS! OUCH!!! DEATH ROW.

Deadlines had to be met, pictures taken, and advertising to sell. At times it seemed like the work wouldn’t get done. We have all enjoyed working on the yearbook, it’s an experience that none of us will forget. 10 TEACHERS VOLLEYBALL GAME The teacher’s volleyball game was played, in order to stimulate the students interest in noon hour intramurals.

Parents, Teachers, Friends, Fellow Graduates: Tonight we stand at the end of one phase of life and at the threshold of a new beginning. To begin, I would like to take the time, as I am sure all graduates would agree to thank those people who have helped make this evening possible. First, we owe a great debt of thanks to our parents who have encouraged and supported us and have always been there when we needed them. Secondly, gratitude should be shown to our teachers and administrators for their part in helping to prepare us for the challenges that lay ahead. Thirdly, thanks is to be given to the grad committee and anyone involved with the grad committee for they have worked so hard from the start of the year to organize and make this night a reality. And last, but not least. We should all take the time to thank our friends with whom we’ve shared the many common ex­periences that will form the basis of our fondest memories. As I look around, I see many eager and expectant faces and I sense the tension and excitement that ac­companies an event with such magnitude and grandeur. All of this seems too good to be true as if we were enveloped in a dream. People are essentially dreamers. And tonight we have the good fortune to participate and witness the fulfillment of such a wondrous dream in the culmination of our graduation ceremonies this evening. And indeed graduation is a dream each one of us has held since we started school though seemingly long, yet short 12 years ago. It is a dream each of us held and saw in the far distant future that has somehow kept us enduring and persevering the past trials and tribulations for the pleasures of this single night. We greet this night openly with youthful exuberance and enthusiasm. However, mixed in with this elation is a sense of apprehension as each of us realizes that we now stand alone to conquer the world from this point on. We are our own and ultimated decision-makers and any choice we make from now on will have everlasting effects on the course of our lives. Tonight, the lights will dim and fade away into twilight and it will appear to be the end of a momentous night, yet a night just like any other in the past. The morning will not only bring the dawn of the sun, but it will bring the dawn of a realization and understanding as we comprehend and accept the implications and newly-laid responsibility of the past night. We are no longer children. We are the new generation of the future. We are the new dream weavers of the world. There are so many opportunities and new plateaus to be grasped in the near future, and all of this seems a little foreboding and confusing. But no obstacle is insurmountable nor is any dream too lofty to be realized. We can and we will enjoy the successes life has to offer for we are the graduating class of 1985.

    The annual publication of the students of W. R. Myers High School Taber, Alberta.

I is inspiration that keeps us ever trying,., S is for success that comes to those who earn it... D is the desire to develop understanding... 0 is ever onward. And onward we will go... M is what we can all acheive" A Mature Outlook On Life... PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Our Yearbook has come of age! It is gratifying to note that in the last couple of years deadlines have been met and the student committee has accepted real responsibility for the publication. And incredible as it may appear, the year­book account should show a moderate surplus this year. A cooperative effort has paid off! Thanks are due to the advisor Mr. Morrison, to the student’s councils for al­locating special funds, to the publisher’s representatives for their guidance, and especially to the yearbook committees for their committment and determination. However, the future of our current school program does not look so bright. In recent years the opertional costs haf have escalated along with rising costs everywhere. Inflation has taken its toll—decreasing purchasing power for supplies and replacement of equipment. We have six fewer teachers than we had five years ago, although our average yearly enrol­ment has not declined in that proportion. It has become in­creasingly difficult to maintain a broad program for the ben­efit of students with diverse needs and interests. Many classes are larger than they should be for effect­ive teaching and learning; some classes in special interest areas may be too small to justify in strictly economic terms, but justifiable in terms of opportunities for non academically - oriented students. Provincial funding does not appear to be geared to a suf­ficiently high priority for education. The quality and extent of programs are bound to be affected. I expect that in the next few years the question of local priorities will become much more urgent, and that decisions may be made concerning substantial reduction or elimination of certain programs. If present trends continue there is a high probability that W. R, Myers will become essentially an academic Junior/ Senior high school simply because the operational costs per student per year are thereby minimized. Although there may be little argument over the need to main maintain a basic core academic program, there is likely to be much anxiety and stress when it comes to areas such as indust­rial arts, home economics, business education, art and music. What criteria will be used to judge their comparative educa­tional values? Will comparative financial costs be the crucial factor? In the final analysis we must all face this question: How important is the school, and what do we want it to do for our students?

R. Myers High School on June 23, 1975 en route to Calgary airport. Wardair took efficient care of us and all our baggage, and once installed inside the 747, Myer's students lost no time im getting down to the business of eating, drinking, and trying to impress the stewardesses. The night was very short flying at 35000 feet and the next morning with the sun shining down on the green fields, our plane touched down at Gatwich airport, 40 miles south of London. There we were met by 2 buses and their drivers, Phil and Sinclair, who stayed with us throughout the entire 3 weeks. Suffice it to say that Phil and Sine turned out to be not only excellent drivers in England's congested traffic, but travel counsellors, baggage handlers, and our most enthusiastic applauders at every concert. It is impossible to summarize the varied activities of three weeks in a few short paragraphs. However some over-riding impressions remain: The support from the community, the unity which developed be­tween student, teacher and parent, and the work of the execu­tive committee were the three main factors in the success of the project The thrill of performing to capacity audiences nearly every­where we went; the chance to look at a foreigh educational system; the chance to view Taber and our life style from a distance and to compare it with another. These were experi­ences not commonly met with in day to day life. The trip helped to invest the music program at the school with a certain amount of prestige. It also laid an excel­lent groundwork of cooperation amoug parents of music stud­ents—a spirit that has been carried on further this year by the Myers Music Association add those whose liaison in the future may help to benefit the music program at Myers still more.

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

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

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

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

It is entirely appropriate for this is what we are building at Myers in the field of musical drama - a strong tradition. It is in­dicative of our growth that just three or four years ago this play would have been beyond our grasp in terms of its emotional depth and over­all difficulty. Let us not delude ourselves and say that it came easy this year - it most certainly did not - but what made the difference was that we had a cast more expereinced and more able than any in previous years. Mention must be made of the heroic efforts put out by Frank Sudol and Ronalee Bennett. To­gether they were the props around which the other characters revolved. Financially, the project was a success grossing approximately $1800. This money helps to finance future productions, stage re­novations , and drama scholarships. We have established a cycle of success, both financial and artistic, and so long as we keep the inter­est of Myer's students in these endeavors, the future looks bright. Malcolm V.

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

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

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

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. 7 A. G . Johnstone, B.A., M.A. French P. G.

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.

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.

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. ------- Lucille McKay 14 BURNELL BENNETT A pleasant face and a happy smile is with Burnell all the whiIe.

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? Author unknown. 20 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. 21 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.” Ruth Kadonaga 22 Moments to Remember One evening in May a handsome boy called for a lovely girl. They went to a banquet which was given for them and for many others. After enjoying their delicious dinner, and hearing speeches from Teachers and Students, 23 24 Class Prophecy 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. Civic Cent° ^e^UC^' w^° was rarely seen without a curling broom, became janitor of the agajR ^UPP demonstrated his acting abilities on C. B. C. and made the movies popular / George Matson opened an ice cream stand on the South Pole. 25 1959 GRADUATING CLASS In 1989, Janice Marriott and Elizabeth Sekura became co-owners of Newsweek and turned it into a magazine devoted to ladies hats.

On that day, at the Junior High Sweetheart Prom, she was chosen as the Sweetheart Queen for 1981. Chosen as her princesses were Belinda Pederson and Tracey Barany. Left to right, top: Shawna Harris, Holly Robinson and Joann Valgardson. Middle: Alana Hull — One punk person. Mr. Wallace — Would you believe 36 —26 — 36? (That's metric of course!) Casey Carlson — Just hanging around. Janet Meyer — Miss Punk 1880. Bottom: Loren Keister — Would you believe twins? Anita Woodford — Love that hair! Jo Ann Boyko — You think your dandruff's bad!

Michelle Mikalson — "My blowdryer's gone hair­wire!" Sharon Hamilton and Virginia Meyer — What a pair of beauties. Judy Miyashiro — "Beats the office phone!" Earl Mills and Dave Saruwatari — "You’ve done it again Foster Grant." 10 Senior High Activities Senior High activities this year included Punk Day and the third annual Green Friday. Punk Day was held on October 10 and with many students dressing up in the latest "punk styles." Mr. Wallace was named "Mr. Punk" and Janet Meyer "Miss Punk." They received bright orange guitars as their prizes. Michele Flett, Michelle Mikalson, Glenda Christensen and Scott Noble also received awards (oversized cardboard razor blades) tor their costumes. Also, the Key Club held a demolition derby at noon hour where all students could take out their frustrations by smashing up an old car. The annual P.O.O.P. contest (Pig Out On Pies) was held again on Green Friday. After much eating (and throwing) of the pies, Gary Allred was declared the winner. He was presented with a trophy and T-shirt for his ef­forts. This year's contest was a little different from past years. For the first time, a girl (Shantelle Kirkvoid) entered the contest. After the pie eating contest, a car stuffing contest was held with the girls against the boys. This year, it ended up in a tie — both girls and boys managed to stuff 31 bodies in­to the car. 11 Jr. High Activities 12 Jr. High activities this year includ­ed things from marshmallow-eating contests to toilet paper rolling con­tests to tug of wars. Assemblies were held where skits, songs and games were played. Day events such as "hat day" and "tie day" were also held and enjoyed by all who participated. 13 For the second year, Myers students were asked for their thoughts and opinions on various topics. One thing which became evident from this poll was that Myers students do not think alike. Over 60 movie titles, 45 T.V. shows, 70 songs and 80 celebrities were named in their various categories. It was also noticed that many of the favorites from last year were not included in this year's favorites — a sign of the fast changing times we live in. Here are the results — see how your opinions and favorites rank with those of the "average" Myers student. World War III When do you think World War III will occur?

This kind of concerted effort substantially reduces the cost of yearbooks for our students. The committee and their advisor are commended for another fine quality production. Several developments this past year have resulted in more satisfac­tory operations. Our school I.M.C. and library have become a centraliz­ed service unit (although not in a central location); the guidance counsellor is now located in the main office area: the kindergarten class has moved into a section of the home ec. wing: the pre-voc class has expanded with the addi­tion of a half-time teacher and "new" facilities: and the Divisional I.M.C. has transferred to our elec­tronics room. A major part of the school year went by before a decision was made by the Board regarding our program for ensuing years — a decision reached after considerable discussion and controversy. Revised procedures for handling absentees and lates have had a very positive effect in improving student attendance and reducing class disruptions — creating a better en­vironment for teaching and learning. We continue to anticipate the upgrading of our cafeteria, and sympathize with the proprietors who have struggled to provide ef­fective service despite relatively primitive conditions. Best wishes to students and staff for a successful year. 38 Sr. High Vice-principal: Mr. Don Ferguson Have You Thought About a Career With the Treasury Branches? For complete information contact R.
