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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Semi-Finals:

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

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

We found it to be a big responsibility to fulfill our commitment
to the students. We had good times and some heated
arguments. A special thanks to Mr. Gammon who was always
there for advice whenever we needed it. I would like to thank
all the teachers and students that helped us out during the year.
Have a great time in high school in ’91-92, and good luck to Marty
and next year’s Student Council.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

businesses and families. Our community has donated 16 885 this year!

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

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

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

It's a great opportunity to learn a new skill and maybe even conquer some fears!

Each year the Physics 20s
have to build their own
roller coaster at the end of
the Work and Energy Unit.
The students have to
demonstrate their
knowledge to build a
working roller coaster that
meets set conditions, and
then do calculations on their
design. It's a fun project and
it s always so amazing to
see what they are able to
come up with!

won their 3rd league championship
trophy in their history as well as
their 9th zone banner.
Mike Sawatzky was named
league MVP (the 6th Rebel to
ever earn that award). Denzel
Gross, Brett Andrus, Ashton

FANTASTIC!!!!
Our Academic Awards Night, held Nov 1st,
2018, was a huge success again this year.
We invited 102 students to be recipients of
the awards. This is about 1/3 of our total
student population. We have a lot of great
students all striving for excellence!
This event really does take a villagi
h a p prlALLO WEEN Halloween this year had a little bit of everything! A nudist on strike (bonus marks for creative thought on that one!) If you, by
chance, happened into the grade 10 hallway you most definitely would be been serenaded by the talented Mr. Friesen - man can
he sing (if you got a glimpse, you could see what makes him such a great Drama teacher!) The day ended with a pumpkin craving
contest, great fun was had by all!
VOLLEYBALL SV Girls
The Senior Varsity girls
volleyball team was a joy to
coach. We had our ups and
downs but each athlete
contributed to the
development of our team. This
work ethic showed in the
massive season of growth,
competing with the top 4
teams in our Southern Alberta
League. We finished the
season 29-21-1 match record.
It was a pleasure to coach this
group of athletes. I wish the
graduating 12 players all the
best in their future endeavors.
You are always welcome to
come back and help cheer on
our future Rebels. See you
next season!

weekend tournaments. The
team advanced to playoffs in
each tournament, winning silver
at the Churchill Cup, and
reaching the semi-finals of the
year end tournament before
bowing out in a third set
tiebreaker.
Despite having a small and
relatively inexperience team,
we were able to learn from
both Mr Pritchard and the
returning players. The Rebels
had great success along the
way, with highlights including
back to back wins against
defending provincial

victories against 4A-size

Remem
One of the struggles of this past year has been that our gym has been unavailable to use for assemblies. This meant
that Remembrance Day ceremonies needed some creative thinking. So, thanks to the video wizardry of Sam Bennett,
we composed a video that was played simultaneously in each classroom. Students contributed poetry and readings
that helped to express our appreciation for the service of those who have fought and died on our behalf. This year
was special in that we were able to have a recent veteran of the Afghanistan War as a PSIII teacher. Mr. Ginther
shared his personal experience of the war and reminded us of the importance of our freedom.
Brent Ginther was an intern teacher with AAr. Bennett
this past year. AAr, Ginther is an injured war veteran.
He shared his military experience during a remembrance
day ceremony where students learned that he was shot
in the legs during active duty in Afghanistan. We are
grateful for AAr. Ginther and his service in the military
where he helped make the world a safer place to live
ANGELfpf-
Our student council partnered with our counselling department in a fabuous fundraising/gift giving opportunity. Angel Tree provided
students with the ability to donate money or purchase a gift for struggling families in our community. After raising some $400+
dollars student council headed out to our local Walmart to purchase the gifts for these families.
T'is the Season!
Christmas ccleb'ations hod to be
scaled back this year due to no
gymnasium. But a great pancake
breakfast and a few games of Kahoot
was enjoyed by all the students who
came out to participate!

W.R. Myers had two curling teams
this year and were coached by
Andrea Makarchuk. A Boys Team
(Konnor Unser-skip, Brady Swistin-third,
Rylan Milo-second and Rylan
Cetinski-lead) and a Girls Team
(Alanna Makarchuk-skip, Jordyn
Clarke-third, Jessi Young-second and
Ashleigh Little-lead). Both teams had
to qualify from divisionals. The Boys
won the round robin against St.
Mary's and Vauxhall but lost in the
finals. Fortunately, our division was
able to send two teams. The Girls
won against St. Mary's to go to
zones. At zones, the Boys qualified
to the semi finals and to the bronze
medal game, where they lost again to
Vauxhall. The Girls at zones went on
to the gold medal game against
Vulcan and won the banner. The
Girls team went to Provincials in St.
Paul where the games did not go as
well as the team would have liked.
They went 0-4 in the round robin.
But were amazing representatives of
W.R. Myers High School.

This years JV Girls team was a nice mix of returning and new girls. We,
as their coaches, were so happy to see how they worked so hard both
in practice and during games. During our league season the girls
improved game by game. The big moment of the season was going to
Bow Island Varsity Girls tournament and winning it. Great season girls!

The Tier 1 boys basketball team was a great group of young
people to work with and each of them developed as a player
and also as a team. Mr. Moser and AAr. Pon are proud of

Tier 1 girls started the season slowly losing our first league game
and 3 or 4 games in our first tournament in Medicine Hat. We
kept improving as the season went on finishing second in league.
We finished 2nd in the Cardston tournament and won our next 2
tournaments. We lost to Barnwell in the division final. We then
finished 6th at 4J zones. Our team consisted of 7 grade 9's and
3 grade 8's.
Myers students spent Valentine's Day skiing at Castle Mountair
The weather was freezing in Taber that morning, but it was
fantastic at the hill, so our students were able to spend a lot of
time on the slopes. Conditions were very good for both the skie
and the snowboarders. Mr Bowes and Mr Pritchard knocked
some of the rust off by getting a quite a few runs in, and Mrs
McClelland brought back memories of the Crazy Canucks. We
tried to get a picture of her in action, but she was just too spee
All in all, it was a very fun day for students and staff on the hill
een Shirt
April 6, 2018 is a day that hit many families quite hard. On that
day, a bus transporting the Humboldt Broncos en route to Nipawin,
Saskatchewan, was struck by a semi tractor trailer unit. On April
7th, Logan Boulet of Lethbridge succumbed to injuries sustained in
this crash.
Logan had been inspired by his rugby coach and family friend to
become an organ donor. He made his wishes known to his family,
and they followed through with his directions upon his passing. This
story became a much-needed beacon of hope and positivity in such
a bleak and tragic situation. It has been well-documented how
organ donation rates have increased dramatically in the wake of
Logan and the Boulet family’s selfless act.
The LGBT+ students of W.R. Myers, and their allies that
support them are fortunate to have the resources and the
space to be proudly and unashamed to be out, and to find
support within the members of the community. The world is
often a scary place to navigate for young adults trying to
Sure out who they are. Especially for those who are LGBT,
J are questioning. GSA’s provide the opportunity for
expression and fellowship in a safe environment for these
young adults, and provide resources to aid them in their
journey of self-discovery. GSA takes place on Mondays
during APV in the councilors office, if you would like to know
more please visit one of the councilors for more details.
-Kayden Klok, GSA president

On April 7, 2019, to mark a year since Logan s passing, WR Myers
participated in Green Shirt Day. We took time to pause and
reflect, and to celebrate the gifts of life that were made possible
through Logan’s decision. It is the Boulet family's wish that people
have the conversation about organ donation. We support their wish.
STUDENT POLLS ALIGN WITH PROVINCIAL RESULTS
The provincial election in the second
semester gave the Social Studies teachers
a chance to engage students in their civic
duty as future voters. We were able to
successfully organize a full candidates
forum using the Central Gym. Taber high
schools were invited to attend and some
almost 400 students were treated to
some lively debate on the hot current
issues. The candidates answered questions
on LGBTO* rights, minimum wage,
education funding which were asked by
students from W.R. Myers. The debate
was followed up with a vote simulation
that allowed students to vote on the
same candidates that their parents voted
on. We partnered with Student Vote
Canada and had some interesting results
United Conservative 181 Alberta Party 63
Liberals 18 New Democrat Party 3. One
of the highlights was being able to help
some of our 18 year old students to
officially vote for the first time.
CONCERT AND STAGE BAND EXCELLENCE
The Band had another busy year. They began the year with the stage band
performing at Clearview Lodge and the Town of Taber s Remembrance Day
Ceremony. Ryland Baker performed Last Post. Then both the stage and concert
band's performed at Dr. Hamman Elementary School. With our gym not being
available due to renovations, all concerts were performed at the Civic Center or at
Central School. Both bands did a great job at the Christmas Concert. This year the
band had Global Drums as their special guests for the Music of the Night Concert.
In April, the bands went to Sun Peaks, British Columbia for their band trip. They
performed in Salmon Arm, Kamloops and at the Cantando Festival. The Concert
band received a bronze and the stage band a silver. Once again, concert band
performed at Graduation and the stage band helped to celebrated senior's week at
Clearview Lodge. And the year was finished with a fantastic year end concert!
This year's band student of the year was Jordyn Clarke.
FLUTE QUARTET INVITED TO PERFORM AT FESTIVAL OF THE STARS
Brooklynn Bennett, Beth Nelson, Emily Carver and Aleah Warkentin performed at the Lethbridge Speech
and Arts Festival. They won their class and were invited to perform at the Festival Stars concert.
