Transforming America : Toni Morrison and classical tradition

Author: Roynon Tessa Kate

Field of study

This thesis examines a significant but little-studied feature of Toni Morrison's work: her ambivalent engagement with classical tradition. Analysing all eight novels. it argues that her allusiveness to the cultural practices of Ancient Greece and Rome is fundamental to her political project. Illuminating hegemonic America's consistent recourse to the classical world in the construction of its identity, I expand on prior scholarship by reading Morrison's own revisionary classicism as a subversion of dominant US culture. My three-part study examines the way her deployment of Graeco-Roman tradition destabilizes mythologies of the American Dream, prevailing narratives of America's history, and national ideologies of purity. Part I shows that Morrison enlists tragic conventions to problematize the Dream's central tenets of upward mobility, progress and freedom. It argues that while her engagement with Greek choric models effects her refutation of individualism, it is her later novels' rejection of a wholly catastrophic vision that enables her to avoid reinscribing the Dream. Part II demonstrates that it is through her classical allusiveness that Morrison rewrites American history. Her multiply-resonant echoes of the epic, pastoral and tragic traditions that have consistently informed the dominant culture's justifications for and representations of its actions enable her reconfiguration of colonization, of the foundation of the new nation, of slavery and its aftermath and of the Civil Rights Movement. Part III illuminates how the author uses the discourse of pollution or miasma to challenge Enlightenment-derived valorizations of racial purity and to expose the practices of scapegoating and revenge as flawed means to moral purity. Her interest in the hegemonic fabrication of classical tradition as itself a pure and purifying force is matched by her insistence on that tradition's African elements, and thus on its potent impurity. Her own radical classicism, therefore, is central to the transformation of America that her novels envision

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?

Myers High School were saddened by the sudden death of Carma Jensen, whose loving friendshin will be missed bv all. Carma will always be remembered for her beautiful sonrano voice in the school chorus and her musical talent in the band. Carma was also know for her deep love for children.

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. Malcolm EdwardsThe "Kissing Boulder" strikes again TRIP TO SPOKANE The highlight of the Chorus and Band classes this year was without doubt the trip to Spokane from Hay fifth to the eighth. Three buses left with one hundred and forty student plus Hr.

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 Principal 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.

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!

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 Tomorrow Shines Soon.

Students get the opportunity to share their perspectives on many different topics in education. Over the last couple of years students on this council have worked with the Alberta Government Education Department, MLA's, industry professionals, teachers and school boards to help better education in out province. Specifically, these students helped inform a vaping policy from Edmonton Public Schools, assisted in the creation of Bill 1 9 which aims to reduce vaping use in Alberta and helped shape the Ministerial Order on Student Learning. ^ef Keira1' created all of these masterpieces during 'Round 1' of Covid shutdown.

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.

Crowds of people watched in amazement as PAW P. got his hair cut and styled. BILLY W. has recently got a new haircut by Lawnboy. 30WADE P. after working at Esso for 15 years, finally got a promotion. Now they let him pump gas, wash windows, and yes, even check the oil. LINDA R. asked her husband one night, "Be an angel and let me drive." He did and he is. JENNY R. BOYLed when she found out there was no tooth fairy. TODD L. being the nice guy that he is, applied for the job. MARK M. recently became a millionaire after publishing his diet book entitled “How to Live on Korn Nuts, Coke, and Ripple Chips." DAVE S. has become an avid bird watcher. He was last seen feeding three budgies while watching the BENNET'S play badminton. LYNNE S. bought a dog with no legs. Everyday she takes her dog out for a drag. CHUCK U. and his wife have just reached a turning point in their lives. He is now eligible for pension, and she just got the right to vote. JAN H. was relieved to hand down her crown. When asked what she hated most about being Queen, she replied “A year is a long time to sit on a throne." DIANE S. + DEB T. have become researchers for Molsen Golden. They were last seen on a frozen lake of beer trying to find the difference between their axles and a hole in the ground. TAMMY J., LORI K., + SHEILA C. Their five year mission in life has led them to galaxies far, far away. In search of the ultimate... human, male speciman. ORALEE D. + BRENDA F. were recently laid off of their job at Taco Time, after a sudden closure by the People's Coalition Against Natural Gases. DAWN F. + SUSAN P. graduated from the Myers choir program at the top of their class. They are now working at Purina’s, singing the Cat Chow song. LISA E. + LESLEY J. got jobs as masseurs because they knead people. RANDY S. believes water is a fine drink if mixed with right spirits. SHERRY S. is studying to be a Buddhist nudist. She practices yoga bare. BARB A. + JIM H. became members of the first national co-ed basketball team. They became known for their fast hands and quick thinking. PAUL A. misses volleyball so much, he'll spike anything. He was last seen standing by the punch bowl at a L.D.S. stake dance. DOUG B. has finally made a national basketball team. The problem is, him and Toto can't find their way back from over the rainbow. DARYL B. became the official lock smith for W.R. Myers. It was easy... he already had all the keys. ROB B. can tell you that 80% of all accidents are caused by hugging the curb too close. ELAINE I. can testify to that. NEIL B. + KEVIN A. had a liver transplant, and their old livers were burned. This was two years ago, and firemen are still trying to put out the blaze. SHANNON C. has solved the energy crisis. She found a way to harness the energy off the glow of her cheeks. SANDRA A. + NINA J. became the bullies of the south-side of Barnwell. They constantly harass people on the south-side, like taking their lunch and kicking their garbage cans over. Every so often they go over to the north-side, across the tracks and rumble with the north-side bullies. LEIF L. got tired of back seat drivers. Now he has the perfect job... he drives a hearse. BRAD F. is living happily with his wife and nine daughters. LINDA T. 4- SHELLEY F. were late for their own graduation and had to take another year of school. FIONA H., RENAE S., TAMARA E., + DEBBIE S. have partnered up in the business world and made their own store titled “Big, Small, Short, and Tall.” SCOTT D. was arrested for trying to rob a cash register at the Taber Police Department. TIM K. had a great football season. In fact, in one game he played four positions. He played center, forward, guard, and tackle. He sat in the center of the bench, leaned forward, guarded the water bottle, and tackled anyone who tried to take it. 31Jvwif Austin, Brent Barany, Tracy Baroldi, Kerri Beier, Kirk Black, David Bouwman, Julie Buckley, Lynden Caldwell, Michael Campbell, Brad Chow, David Chow, Sandra Cline, Tammy Collett, Kim Csabay, Andy Ecklund, Jackie Edgarton, Joely Eldridge, Rebecca Ellis, Timothy Evanson, James Fallon, Sherry Abell, Ryan Allred, Heath Allred, Ronni Anderson, Rodney Asapace, Cathy 34 Fehr, Susan Feist, Natile Feldbusch, Cheryl Ferguson, Julie Ferguson, Kevin Garner, Carolyn Girouard, Deanna Gross, Darcy Hamvas, Glen Harris, Kerry Hashizume, Susan Henry, Marc Hill, Allison Hoogerdyk, Eddy Hoogerdyk, Eleanor Hoogerdyk, Winston Hoskins, Gordon How, Dennis Jensen, Cameron Jensen, Doran Jensen, Monte Jensen, Rhonda Jensen, Twila Johnson, Ardis Just, Michael Karaki, Tracey Kinniburgh, Robert Klassen, Kevin Kleiner, Jim Krahn, Margie 35 Lund, Corby Marose, Randy Marsh, Sheley Marshall, Lisa McCracken, Gordon Metz, Alfreda Metz, Larry Miles, David Morrison, Dean Mudri, Steven Murphy, Kelly Nagata, Robert Oevering, Donald Peters, Mary Peterson, Stacy Pierson, Sheila Platt, Shari Radcliffe, Pam Rempel, Jeff Renner, Shelly Reti, Alan Ripley, Jacquie Robinson, Pam Schneider, Brian Shimozawa, Trent Kunz, Rick Lehman, Steven Litchfield, Kandis Lucas, Kim Lukacs, Troy 36 1^0 Silver, Greg Smathers, Darrin Stolk, Darren Tenass, Kim Thiessen, Ivy Turcato, Phillip Turtle, Paul Urano, Neil Vanderbeek, Tammy Vanderwal, Karen Van Dyk, Monica Wagner, Linda Wallace, Mark Whittaker, Sheri Wills, Dwayne Wilson, Keith Witwer, Angela Young, Robert Zsednai, Georgia 37 Stfhfmflee Arksey, Lana Arndt, Jody Bailey, Kristy Bassett, Rob Bennett, Kelly Bennett, Vickie Braun, Ken Bullock, Jason Cannady, Quinn Challinor, Brian Cherneski, Laura Chiles, Karen Chow, Anna Colombo, Lisa Dickie, Tanya Doolittle, Gay Draffin, Greg Dressier, Mark Dunsmore, Brad Easthope, Rob Alderdice, Joseph Allen, Megan Allred, Candy Anderson, Colin Anderson, Tyler 38 Ecklund, Patty Edwards, Rhonda Eldridge, Pam Evanson, Rischelle Ewachniuk, Sergei Fallon, Janet Feidler, Brad Fletcher, Chris Fong, Chris Franz, Lyle Friesen, Scott Friensen, Tina Graham, Melinda Halverson, Dale Hammerstedt, Lori Harding, Janet Healy, Leanne Heinen, Bart Hill, Jeff Horovitch, Vivian Horvath, Louie How, Fenwick Ikeda, Craig Ironstand, Fay James, Lonny Jensen, Eric Jensen, Kandi Jensen, Kandy-Lyn Jensen, Michelle 39 .^UkUKE^S Kinniburgh, Jim Krahn, Lyndon Kunz, Tracey Lafrance, Malcolm Lane, David Lawlor, Leigh Lomas, Noreen Lothian, Greg Lowe, Frank Lusk, Louis Lypkie, Shane Mander, Barbara Martin, Brenda Matlock, Rae McCracken, Ron McKellar, Connie Meksavanh, Somnuck Metz, A.J.

MYERS HIGH SCHOOL 5511-54 Street Taber, Alberta TIG 1L5 Phone: 223-2292PRESENTING ^mtl '68 W.R. MYERS HIGH SCHOOL LINDA FONG, TABER, ALBERTA EDITOR Dawn of Wisdom "Aurora Sapientiae” D is for determination to get an education... A is the ability to use what we have learned... W the wealth of knowledge we have obtained... N is for the novices that we no longer are... O is for the many opportunities we have had... F is for foundations of our future firmly laid... W is willingness to strive always for improvement... I is insperation that keeps us ever trying... S is for success that comes to those who earn it... D is the desire to develop understanding... O is ever onward? and onward we will go... M is what we all can achieve? a mature outlook on life...Dedication 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. " Dawn ’68 Staff Acknowledgements The staff of Dawn '68 gratefully acknowledges the assistance and support of: Mr. Baldwin, our advisor, and the W. R. Myers faculty and staff; Mr. Geraghty's Period 5 English 20 class who eagerly sacrificed their English period to help out when a deadline had to be met; Mr. Brownbill, who patiently toted his camera literally up, down, and around the school for us; Mr. Lawson, Charles Enman, and the Photo Club for the many fine pictures which are an invaluable part of the yearbook; the many anonymous students who, though not officially staff members, were always willing to give any assistance; and, all those who, in any way, have contributed to the Dawn '68. MAY YOU BE PROUD OF YOUR EFFORTS ! Executive: Phillip Peterson, Adv. Man. ; Terry Holman, Bus. Man. ; Susan Hattori, Asst. Ed. ; Linda Fong, Ed. ; Brenda Donick, Asst. Ed. ; Burton Conrad, Layout. Also: Linda Wall, Co-Layout; Gwenne Halma, Sec. ; Valeen Jensen, Art. 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. Linda Fong ( Editor ) Taber Division School Board STANDING: M. Smith, H.

Administration Faculty Staff Mr. Semaka, Vice-Principal; Mr. George, Principal; Mr. Francis, Vice-Principal. 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. James L. George ( Principal ) into Tomorrows Mrs. M. Allen-P. E. Mr. R. Anderson-Sc. , Math Mr. A.

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.

SCHOLARSHIP $25. 00 to the outstanding Grade 12 commercial student - Coralie Arnett 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.
