CHURCHILL
WCHS
' 50 TEARS AND
COUNTING..,
The year 2010 marks the fiftieth year that Winston Churchill High School has provided quality education to
the City of Lethbridge.
Churchill, not “Winston”, opened its doors to the public, in what is now Wilson Middle School, in September of
1960. The first principal, Reg Turner started the school on its long and very successful path.
Over the years, staff at Churchill have developed the school’s enduring qualities. The school has always prided
itself on being a student centred place. It was the first school in the province to develop continuous learning, a
process by which students could proceed at their own rate to get through their classes. It was the first school
where students called teachers by their first name- a symbol of the close relationships that have developed
over the years between staff and students. i
In 1989 Churchill was awarded the honour of becoming the first International Baccalaureate School in
Southern Alberta. This program has enabled Churchill to become the strong academic school that it is today.
Churchill has won many academic, sports, and fine acts awards over its many years. Although, what the school
is most proud of is graduating productive individuals Who will make a strong contribution to society.
People who graduate from Churchill feel a strong connection to the school. There are currently ten staff
members working at Churchill who graduated from the building; two of whom are former Mr. Churchill’s. Many
Once you have attended Churchill you become a member of the Churchill Family, a concept that has very
strong roots at Churchill,so strong in fact that the motto for the anniversary is “It’s Time to Come Home.”

Where do students spend most of their school days? The classroom of
course! Some students enjoy Phys Ed. because of the sports, while others
would rather art, because it gives them a chance to express themselves.
Unfortunately, classrooms are not all about fun and some work does need
to be accomplished.

The 2010 Bulldog Football team went through a bit of a
rebuilding season this year, graduating only 6 senior
players. Good Luck to all you seniors in the future! We
had a number of grade 10 and 11 players who stepped up
into important roles and who will be looked to for strong
leadership next season.
Despite having a very young team the Bulldogs were able
to pull off big wins against other Tier III teams such as
Chinook and WR Myers. The Dogs will be looking to have
a strong season next year, boasting a still very young yet
experienced, strong and fast group of players who will be
competitive in the Southern Alberta High School Football
League as well as Provincially at the Tier III level.

The 2011 Bulldog rugby squad, coming off an impressive 2010 League and Provincial
Championship, are excited to get back to the Provincial tournament and attempt to make it a
repeat. They realize that as a younger, less experienced team, they will have to bear down and
work hard to get through the tough competition in the Southern Alberta High School Rugby
League. Best of Luck to all of the players and coaches on their journey to a second straight
championship!!! - Jonathan Dick
2011 will prove to be a tremendous year of growth for the Griffin Rugby Program as there
are 30 returning players from last year. With this solid foundation, the Griffins are excited
to progress through the process of becoming better teams in the extremely competitive
Southern Alberta High School Rugby League. The Wales 2010 Tour was a fantastic
experience and the student athletes are busy preparing to return to Europe in the Spring of
2013. Well done and best of luck to all the players! - Toby Boulet

It is indeed an honor and a privilege to present this address. The significance of this evening will long be remembered as an important event in the course of our lives, for it represents the completion of nine years of study, recreation and companionship.
As we look back over the years, we may smile, as we think of the problems and experiences which confronted us. They may have seemed unconquerable at the time, however, as author Arthur Guitermann implies, "Time changes all things." Therefore, what seemed unsurmountable then, is now, a mere recollection of the past.
We may recall the days when we entered school for the first time. We were cast into a new world of pencils, books and more books. It was also here that we experienced the disciplinary action of the teachers, finding them somewhat similar to that of our parents. It was in this "Ace of Innocence", that small problems seemed overwhelmingly difficult and we often wondered if ever, we would grow up. Thus a period of six years came to an end.
We were, perhaps, sad in our farewell to elementary school and in leaving comfortable habits. This only presented temporary worries, however, for the prospect of attending a larger school, meeting new friends and acquiring greater knowledge, remained constantly in our minds.
This oeriod has now come to a close and we must look to the future in the anticipation of attaining new heights and in overcoming the difficulties which may arise.
Now, as we look around this hall, seeing all these happy and proud faces, it leaves us with sadness, knowing that some of us will not be here in. the future. This is softened somewhat, since each of us has a worthwhile purpose to fulfill in life.
We must also consider and be thankful for the love and affection of our parents and the constant guidance of the teachers, who, in their efforts helped us to further our schooling.
Thus, it is in this state of mind that I wish to congratulate you, and wish you all the "best in the years to come. Let us all be prepared to use what we have gained to make this world of ours a better place in which to live.
Horst Weber.Grade Nine Graduation Banquet and Dance
This year’s graduation banquet started off punctually at 6:30 with the march of the graduands followed by 0 Canada, and grace by Mike Brown. A delicious cold plate meal was served. About half way through the first course we listened to a very enjoyable trumpet solo by Robert Hall. Heather Emery then proposed a toast to the school board followed by a reply from Mr. E.J. Kipp. The next item on the program was a vocai solo by Gloria Rogers and a toast was proposed by Gladys Brassard to the Parent's Association. The reply was by Mr. Walker, the president of the association. The next entertainer was Willard Roelofs with a clarinet solo. Ken Enander proposed a toast to the teaching staff to which Mr. Charnetski reolied. Donna Huber sang a solo followed by Mr. Thorlacius with a toast to the graduands. Horst Weber delivered a very interesting valedictory address after which the chairman, Pat Bartlett ore- se.nted Mr. Turner with a picture from the 1960-61 graduating class. Mr. Turner then gave a talk about the method by which 'Winston Churchill is run. The chairman then officially declared the banquet as closed.

This year has proven to be a year of disappointment for our senior boy's basketball team. Although we didn't win a championship spot, we have learned how to be good losers. Mainly because we don't know what it's like to be the winners.
Thanks to Mr. Doram, we were able to have a team this year, and put up a good fight at times. His own basketball exoerience has been, and wiii, be a great asset to us. Only through his determination will we be able to have a good ball team. Next year, he will make this school oroud of the senior boy's basketball team.

Junior Boy's Basketball
The Junior Boy's Basketball team has a successful season considering the fact that they are a first year team. Although greatly outplayed in some games, the team managed third place in the league standings, a . few ooints ahead of Paterson. The boys were at their best during the last half of the season.
However, they lost their semi-final games to St. Francis. Under the excellent coaching of Mr. McCormick, the team played very well.

Senior Girl's Basketball
The runners and uniforms of the Girl's Basketball team have been locked away and their traditional good luck charms have been put away until next season. The basketball trips and all the practices of the past few months, have become a fond memory. Winston Churchill High School's first year in comoetitive Senior "B" Girl's Basketball has come to a close.
The Girl's Team was credited with one victory throughout the season. We can truly say that they tried very hard, showed great determination and took defeat in their stride. The idea behind comoetitive snorts is to bring about better sportsmanship for the oarticioants and it takes more of a show of good sportsmanship to lose a game than to win one.
Winston Churchill has a first year basketball team that any school would be proud of. We realize our team has great ootential and next year with more practice and the additional experience gained from this year, we hope to be very successful. Hr. Hiatt, the team's coach, deserves a snecial thanks, as he Dut in a great deal of time and effort towards shaping the foundation for a championship team.
We'd like to thank the giris who played on this year's team and helped to make Churchill's debut into competitive sports a steeping stone to a brighter outlook for next year. We wish the following team the best of luck and hope that they can hit the basket more often than we did.

Matthew’s Emmanuel Messiah: a paradigm of presence for god's people
No full textThe motif of divine presence is a clear phenomenon within the Gospel of Matthew. The modern critical means for assessing the ancient biblical text have multiplied to the point, some claim, of disparity. This study employs both narrative and redaction criticism in an attempt to respond authentically to the structural, historical and theological dimensions of Matthew's Gospel. This study begins with the presumption of the wholeness and integrity of Matthew's narrative, and assumes the gospel story to have an inherently dramatic structure which invites readers to inhabit imaginatively its narrative world and respond to its call. But since we are concerned with the role of both reader and author, this study also assumes a text with an historical author and context. The introduction focuses on the meta-critical dilemma facing New Testament students - what is the text and how do we read it? - and seeks some balance in terms of Krieger's analogy of the text as both window and mirror. Proposed is a narrative reading of Matthew's presence motif alongside a redaction critical assessment of it. In Chapter 2 the elements of narrative theory are introduced and relevant terms defined: the structure of narrative, the function of the narrator, points of view. Chapter 3 becomes an exercise in narrative reading, with Matthew's presence motif providing the focus, and the implied reader’s interaction with the story being predominant in interpretation. Characters, rhetorical devices, and points of view are discussed, to understand the motif's development throughout the story's progress. The thrust of Chapter 4 is thereafter to examine divine presence as a dominant motif within Matthew's most important literary context: the Jewish scriptures. Here the primary paradigms of divine presence provided by the Patriarchs, the Sinai experience, and the Davidic-Zion traditions are assessed. Chapter 5 follows with a more detailed examination of the OT "I am with you/God is with us" formula and its µeo' vµwv/ηuwv language, so strongly connected to Matthew's presence motif. Chapters 6-8 build on these investigations with a closer analysis of the three critical "presence passages" of Mt 1:23. 18:20 and 28:20. The passages and their contexts are probed from a redaction critical perspective, guided by the narrative investigation of Chapter 3, and the background from Chapters 4 and 5.The three major "presence passages" examined in Chapters 6-8 are also complimented by a number of secondary issues: worship, wisdom, the Spirit and the poor in Matthew, and their relation to Jesus' divine presence. These are discussed in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 summarizes and looks briefly at some implications. Matthew' presence motif proves to be an important element of the Gospel’s rhetorical design, redactional strategy and Christology. The presence of Jesus, the Emmanuel Messiah, exhibited in his risen authority, becomes the focus of his people's hopes and experiences in the post-Easter world. What the presence of Yahweh was to his people. Jesus now provides in a new paradigm for his people - his followers, the little ones, the poor and the marginalized, from all nations

Dietary nitrate supplementation to enhance exercise capacity in hypoxic COPD: EDEN-OX, a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised cross-over study
No full textRationale: dietary nitrate supplementation improves skeletal muscle oxygen utilisation and vascular endothelial function. We hypothesised that these effects might be sufficient to improve exercise performance in patients with COPD and hypoxia severe enough to require supplemental oxygen.Methods: we conducted a single-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study, enrolling adults with COPD who were established users of long-term oxygen therapy. Participants performed an endurance shuttle walk test, using their prescribed oxygen, 3 hours after consuming either 140 mL of nitrate-rich beetroot juice (BRJ) (12.9 mmol nitrate) or placebo (nitrate-depleted BRJ). Treatment order was allocated (1:1) by computer-generated block randomisation.Measurements: the primary outcome was endurance shuttle walk test time. The secondary outcomes included area under the curve to isotime for fingertip oxygen saturation and heart rate parameters during the test, blood pressure, and endothelial function assessed using flow-mediated dilatation. Plasma nitrate and nitrite levels as well as FENO were also measured.Main results: 20 participants were recruited and all completed the study. Nitrate-rich BRJ supplementation prolonged exercise endurance time in all participants as compared with placebo: median (IQR) 194.6 (147.5-411.7) s vs 159.1 (121.9-298.5) s, estimated treatment effect 62 (33-106) s (p<0.0001). Supplementation also improved endothelial function: NR-BRJ group +4.1% (-1.1% to 14.8%) vs placebo BRJ group -5.0% (-10.6% to -0.6%) (p=0.0003).Conclusion: acute dietary nitrate supplementation increases exercise endurance in patients with COPD who require supplemental oxygen.Trial registration number ISRCTN14888729.</p
Heeding the great commission: The significance of Matthew's gospel for Baptismal theology and practice in a post-Christian age.
No full textThis thesis represents a worked example in the application of Scripture to a contemporary theological situation. The Scripture applied is Matthew's Gospel and the theological situation is the ongoing practice of Christian baptism by paedo-baptising churches in the context of a post-Christian cultural milieu. Matthew's Gospel is a particularly relevant text with respect to baptism as the church traditionally has cited the baptismal command of Matthew 28.19 as a warrant for its baptising activity. The interpretation of Matthew m this thesis has emerged from a reflection on practice and is also directed back towards practice. The notion of 'performance’, therefore, is regarded as an especially helpful metaphor for interpretation: the believing community 'performs' its Scripture as a company of players would perform a play or a musical score. The formulation of this metaphor in the work of Kevin J. Vanhoozer is particularly utilised m the thesis. Vanhoozer suggests that Scripture testifies to the dramatic saving activity of God (the theo-drama) in which the church is called to participate. Therefore it is important to understand the plot of the drama as it is communicated m Scripture so that the church can work to continue the action faithfully. As such this thesis functions as a case study in 'performance' hermeneutics and will be of interest both in the academy and in the church. In terms of exegesis, therefore, this thesis is concerned with the place of baptism տ Matthew's presentation of the theo-drama. I argue that baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (28.19), in the context of the Matthean narrative, is a symbol of narrative inclusion for a new disciple. Christian baptism makes connection with key moments in the Gospel such that it declares the gospel of the kingdom whilst enabling a rich expression of repentance and acceptance of a call to discipleship. The theo-dramatic significance of baptism is then considered alongside the challenges of paedo-baptismal ministry in post-Christian contexts. This creative interaction leads to strategies for baptismal performance being imagined that are not only faithful to the Great Commission but which are also culturally meaningful
Thermals: a collection of short stories in an examination of women's experience stories
No full textThis thesis examines the concept of women's experience stories as an emerging literary paradigm. It is asserted that experience stories are written out of the raw material of women's lives, that they attempt a re-writing of women's scripts, that they challenge literary conventions, that they involve a fall into awakening, and, finally, that experience stories are subversive of the patriarchy in that they allow the foregrounding of women's experience. The author experiments with the concept of experience story by writing five original short stories narrated in the first person by women in various stages of life. The stories--"You Can't Be Too Careful," "Everybody Else," "Thermals," "Namesake," and "Lifting Up"--are examined to determine whether they meet the criteria of experience story
