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

Sr. Boys Basketball//
The SV Boys Basketball Team had another successful
season, finishing with an overall record of 19 wins, 14
losses, and were League, Zone, and Provincial
Consolation Finalists.
We want to thank our Seniors Michael Johnson, Bradley Marsden, Tate
Platt, Bradyn Mitchell, and Ashton Bekkering for their commitment and
dedication to Rebels Basketball, and we look forward to our returning
players next season; Granger Leth, Cole Layton, Denver Terry, Dylan
Johnson, Denzel Gross, and Brett Andrus.
30
The SV Girls Basketball Team had another very
successful season, finishing 3rd in the League
before winning the Zone Banner for a 3rd
consecutive year and finishing as Provincial Silver
Medalists.
We want to thank our Seniors Millay Johnson, Genna Wright, Jenna
Nelson, Natalie Hoyt, and Rachel Jensen for their commitment and
dedication to Rebels Basketball, and we look forward to our returning
players next season; Lauren Steed, Langley Moser, Reagan Bailey,
Kitawna Sparks, and Austen Robbins.

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

We had a large group of 25 athletes for this year's badminton team. Athletes had
the opoortunity to attend tournaments in Medicine Hat and Lethbridge. The Grade
9 athletes were very successful bringing home multiple 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
finishes. Our two mixed doubles senior teams won the gold medal at zones in
Medicine Hat. Shantelle Bennett, Dakota Huddlestun, Christian Manahan and
Sophie Simek all attended provincials in Red Deer.

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

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

Care and the Year End Concert.
The Concert Band also hosted the
Dr. Hamman Grade l'sto show

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

Rugby//
W.R. Myers rugby SV program was once again another successful season. We hosted our own
inaugural SV pre-season tournament, bringing teams from Alberta and a Touring Side from
Ontario. We went 4-0 in that festival. We also took the team to our first COUGAR CLASSIC
tournament in Red Deer, where we took second place with a 3-1 record losing in the final.

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

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

How Might Adam Smith Pay Professors Today?
No full textAdam Smith’s proposal for paying professors was intended to induce increased faculty knowledge. If students have imperfect information about what they learn, and universities can only imperfectly measure the input of faculty time in student learning, publications may be used to measure faculty knowledge. If professors’ ability to publish is positively related to their ability to produce student learning, which universities can imperfectly measure, publications may be necessary to attract more able professors. Since research signals faculty knowledge, schools that do not value publications per se could require higher publication standards and pay higher wages than schools that value only publications.

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.
8
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.

This year our annual Christmas
Formal was held at the Civic
Center here in Taber. Besides
Myers, Grassy Lake, Vauxhall,
Hays, and Enchant were invited.
Coats were checked in at the door
and we even got to keep our shoes
on.
A live band, The Peace Dogs,
was hired from Calgary. The
music was loud and heavy. Some
appreciated that more than others.
While we were in our silks and
tuxes, they wore ripped jeans and
spandex.

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:
Second:
Semi-Finals:
Pool A
Myers High School
Drumheller
Pool B
Fort McMurray
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.

ADAM SMITH'S VIEW OF HISTORY: CONSISTENT OR PARADOXICAL?
No full textThe conventional interpretation of Adam Smith is that he is a prophet of commercialism. The liberal capitalist reading of Smith is consistent with the view that history culminates in commercial society. The first part of the article develops this optimistic interpretation of Smith's view of history. Smith implies that commercial society is the end of history because 1) it supplies the ends of nature that he identifies; 2) it is inevitable; and 3) it is permanent. The second part of the article shows that Smith has some dark moments in his writings where he seems to reject completely such teleological notions. In this more civic humanist mood he confesses that commercial society does not supply the ends of nature, nor is it inevitable, nor is it permanent. Both views exist in Smith and the commentator is forced to choose between passages in Smith's work in order to support a particular interpretation of the former's view of history.Political Economy,

The original three-story structure
constructed in 1949 was
called Taber High School.
Later, two old barrack buildings
were moved on to the
school grounds. One was used
as an industrial arts building
and the other as a gymnasium.
Eventually, the gymnasium
became the Cranford Community
Hall while the other building
is now used as the school division
maintenance shop. In the
1950’s two gymnasiums were
built, along with the junior high
portion of the complex.
Students moved into the new
building during the 1960-61
school year and the name

changed to W.R. Myers High
School. Mr. Myers had served
for many years as a trustee on
the board of the Taber School
Division. As the numbers in
high school increased two more
wings were added: the industrial
wing in 1963, and the
home economics/business education
wing in 1967. In 1981
it was decided that W.R. Myers
should be split into separate junior
and senior high schools.
The junior high was called
Taber Junior High until it was
renamed in honor of Don A.
Ferguson. In 1990, Grade 9 students
became part of the high
school.

Students Speak Out!
If you won the lottery, what would you do with all
that money? “Depending on the amount, probably
give some to family and friends, then buy a nice car,
new clothes and save the rest.” Laura Odland - Gr.
11 (Left). “I’d buy myself a car, two new wardrobes
and save the rest for an early retirement so I could
travel the world and stay extra long in Jamaica, find
myself a handsome companion and live happily ever
after.” Trina Meadows Gr. 11 (Right).
What's your ideal vehicle? “1993 Ford 3/4 ton 4x4
with a 5-speed 460 motor, cab and a half, short box
with tinted windows and a wicked black paint job."
Michael Kemick - Gr. 11 (Left). “1968 Malibu,
because it's an original muscle car.” Chad Clarke
- Gr. 11 (Right).
What was your first impression of Myers High
School and how has it changed? “I thought it would
be all play and no work, also a time to get to know
more people. I soon found out that it’s a lot of work
without a lot of free time.” Danna Madison - Gr. 9
(Left). “Before, I thought this school was big! I was
also nervous to be the youngest in the school now
I realize Myers is small and it’s not so bad being
the youngest. I also thought it would be easy —
what a joke!” Kristi Engleson Gr. 9.
What was your first impression of Myers High
School and how has it changed? “I thought it would
be easy going and not such hard work, but now I
know I have to work hard to get anywhere and it’s
teaching me a good lesson on my first report card."
Brad Jensen - Gr. 9. “Before school started I
thought it would be hard to find my way around,
also I thought the classes would be way harder than
they are. Now I could probably walk around the
school blindfolded.” Tracy Burns - Gr. 9.
Opinions Page 3
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would
you choose? Why? “In a house along the 18th fairway
of Pebble Beach golf course, because I love
golf!” Chris Madsen - Gr. 10 (Left). “On a mountain,
in a cabin by a big clean lake, where I own a
lot of land. I love to live where I can go outdoors
and do anything outside. I like to fish and hunt so
all I have to do is to walk outside and there it is.
I love being outdoors!” Brent Stuckart - Gr. 10
(Right).
What’s your ideal vehicle? “1993 GMC Z71 off road
4x4 with a 10 disc CD player under the seat and
the best tape player for the dash. Also loaded with
AC and all other luxuries.” Eric Zilinski - Gr. 10
(Left) What’s your best excuse for not having your
homework done or for not goint to class? “I don’t
need an excuse, I’m bigger than you!” John Tschrit-ter
- Gr. 10 (Right).
What advice would you give to future high school
students? “Play sports, have fun, and do your
homework. In sports you’ll make lots of friends, and
have fun or you’ll be bored for 3 years. Do your
homework so you will graduate in 3 years, not 4.”
Rhonda Lent - Gr. 12. “Start high school by getting
good grades in Grade 10 and keep on getting
them throughout high school so you don't end up
like me and have to come back for another year of
Grade 12.” Jonathan Bennett - Gr. 12.
What do you like about our school? “I like the stairs
in the school and the fact that there is absolutely
no heat in the 1949 building. I guess it is supposed
to keep us awake.” Mark Appleton - Gr. 12 (Left).
“My dad is the principal!” Michael Johnson - Gr.
12 (Right).

This year the yearbook has been a challenge for me, but
a good challenge. This yearbook is a book of memories
for you to look back on. Working on the yearbook is very
rewarding, but it requires a lot of work. Meeting deadlines,
finding the right pictures, writing copy, etc. is not all that
easy at times, but we made it. I would like to thank Mrs.
Klemen for all the help she gave us and Dave Schritt from
the Taber Times, who lent us his negatives. Also, thanks
to my fellow students in journalism class.

Beckie Peterson takes
time out of her busy

After 12 long years, we have
finally arrived at our senior
year! It is a year full of anticipation
of what the future holds
for us all. We are busy deciding
which university or college we
want to go to, meeting application
and scholarship deadlines
as well as studying for all the
hard exams that are creeping
up in June. Some of us may decide
to take a break from school
and try working and living on
our own, away from our parents.
As we look back, we see
many friendships and memories
obtained throughout our years
in school. Our senior year entails
many hard hours of school
and homework, but rest assured
we still find time to go out
and have fun. We are making
this our best year yet!
Not so often seen during
class, we were lucky enough
to catch a glimpse of Angie’s
smile during noon.
Jennifer Martin, Krissy Shewchuk,
and Tracey Chapple caught wandering

Valedictorian Page 22
They just couldn’t let me go. They had to give me one last assignment before I departed: to prepare and present this
valedictory address But, I guess I am somewhat responsible for this! though, s<t mg as how I am the valedictorian and
all I would just like to thank my father for fiddling with the marks so I could be here tonight.
My mom always says that the best recipe for a successful -speech should always include shortening, so I promise not
to make you suffer for too long. This year's graduation theme is "A Whole New World”: and, when you think about it, it
really is. In a very real sense, we are leaving one phase of our life and entering into an entirely new one. No matter what
path we take from here, we will be faced with many important decisions and a lot more responsibility to accompany them.
Just because things are going to change, though, it doesnoi'necessarily mean that life will get easier. And it is not meant to be.
As we think about where we want to be in the future, we can see that there are many different directions we might take.

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
Author Unknown" were found online and in most cases didn't have any author information either. In any case, my hope is
that they will either put a smile on your face, make you go 'hmm' or possibly even take time to pause and reflect on the
message being shared. Enjoy! 5

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

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

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

MM'S MESSAGE
Looking through these photos, it reinforces what makes our school community so special.
I am grateful for all of the students and staff who actively participated in the numerous events and
activities throughout the year. We have come together to support one another and as a group,
accomplished more than any of us could have achieved on our own.
I would like to thank Mrs. Jensen and all of the students for their hard work and creativity in putting this
yearbook together.
Sincerely,
Scott Petronech

Summer is over and school begins once again. The beginning of the 2021-2022
school year was full of excitement. We returned to school mask-free! Seeing
everyone's smiling faces (almost everyone...) was super exciting to see! To start the
year off strong, we had Mr. Bowes share some 'words of wisdom' and Mr. Scott
Petronech introduce himself as our new Principal in our school-wide assembly.
In December, W.R Myers sent two teams of grade 9 students to the cardboard boat races at the University!
Lethbridge. This was the first competition since 201 9. Students designed and tested their boats at the Tab
Aquafun Centre, and the top two designs were sent to the competition in Lethbridge. Hats off to Team 1 who us(
an "unsinkable" boat design by Joel Hansen and placed 1 st in the Junior Divisid
Participants - Team 1: Kevin Kroeker, Grant Petronech, Sarah Lucas, Deja Jeffi
Team 2: Blake Rabusic, Keira Virostek, Taylor Brown, and Tage Jen:
ity re of the many projects done in Wildlife is dissection. Students take a few weeks to prepare for the dissections by
al jntifying the differing structures in sheep hearts and the different organs in frogs. Once students have gained an
us iderstanding they get to take their knowledge and put it to the test when they head to the Biology lab and dissect both
si( eep hearts and frogs. These projects help students understand how organs and systems tie together in many animals,
efl i if you are not the "queasy" type, you may want to give the Wilderness option a try!
lls year a group of grade nines designed and built a rubber band driven car,
je
in signed to carry an egg exactly 500m, for the division wide Science Olympics.
| >lene Wurz, Steven Pack, Carson Hughes, and Shaianne Barcena all performed very
e" in the day-long competition that included three different events to compete in.
Student participation in our Halloween dress-up event
this year was phenomenal! It was SO FUN to see all of
the amazing costumes! Characters from Scooby Doo
to Sally (from the Nightmare Before Christmas) to
Hippy Twins....we had it all!!
Did you know?
Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic
festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts,
who lived 2 000 years ago, in the areas that are now Ireland, the United
Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1.
Happy Celtic New Year!
W.R. Myers has been incorporating Indigenous
ways of knowing into our classrooms and lives as
we work towards Truth and Reconciliation's calls to
action.
September 30th is the National Day for Truth and
Reconciliation. As a school community (along with
DA Ferguson) we were fortunate to have Elder
Charlie Fox, of the Kainai First Nation (which is part
of the Blackfoot Confederacy) share with us some
history of his tribe's culture and tradition.
The dancers then
showed us some
different selections
of Hoop dancing,
drumming and
singing. It was an
incredible
experience for
everyone!

BUILDING
CONNECTIONS
T ill
Another amazing speaker was Chief Cadmus Delorme. He is from the
Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan and is one of the youngest Chiefs
in Canada. We learned about the importance of connection to one another
(family members and friends). He also shared how Elders would teach the
younger generation (through the use of oral traditions and storytelling),
many important life lessons. Many of these light-hearted stories taught
different wisdoms through humor and would weave wild animals into the
tale. He also touched on the atrocities of residential schools, and how
familial bonds were broken when Indigenous peoples were forced to attend
the schools.
A highlight was his 3 year old boy who made the trip with him! What a
cutie! Chief Delorme made this trip to Taber to help form connections with
the Taber Police Force and Indigenous Allies in our community.

Epic day is a fantastic

work. At Epic day this year,
Myers students got an
opportunity to explore
careers like Dentistry, Media,
Plumbing, and Hairstyling.
Students also had the
opportunity to tour

The 2021-2022 Band year started a little slow due to Covid. For Remembrance Day the
Concert Band got to play together for the first time in a year and a half. The band played
live over Zoom for the school. For the Christmas Concert, Covid restrictions had lifted
somewhat so we could have a Christmas concert for a limited number of people. So the
Concert and Stage Bands did the concert twice in one evening. The Stage and Concert
Bands ended the year with a fantastic performance at the Year End concert.

In January, many of the Covid restrictions were lifted and the
band was able to go on their annual band trip once again!
This year, they headed to Banff, Alberta. While there
students had the opportunity to do workshops on their
instruments in small groups and as full bands. They worked
with many wonderful musicians, who helped them learn
more about their instrument and also fine-tune the musical
pieces they were working on. What is a Band trip without so
much more than just playing music....our students also had
the opportunity to take the Gondola up Sulphur Mountain,
do a scavenger hunt around Banff and of course some
shopping. As you can tell from the photo's - everyone had
loads of fun!

In 2022 the Career team hosted an event called
" Moving On" for the graduating students of
2022. Students could attend mini sessions on a
variety of topics to help our students transition
from high school. Topics included: Moving out.
Finances, Dealing with Stress, World of Work,
Post-Secondary, Healthy Living, and Indigenous
Ways of Knowing. We were joined by some
students from Vauxhall High School and students
won some great prizes that were donated by the
community.
Sopne of the AWESOME prizes went to:
Justin Wensveen - 2 prizes, including a Keurig to
help him "rise and shine" in the mornings!
Noah Kientopp - a mini fridge to store all of his
extra 'chillable' snacks in his own room!
Ashley Peters - a Magic Bullet smoothie maker to
help her make her liquid breakfasts-on-the-run in
the mornings!
Megan Lumley - not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 Loft
gift cards. These will come in handy when she
feels like stopping by in the mornings to grabber
favorite Latte on the way to post-secondary!
Kaylee Martin - a LAPTOP to help her complete
her post secondary studies!!
WOW!! Next year promises to be even better!

MSWWW On April 6, 201 8, reports of the Humboldt Broncos bus
crash spread across Canada, leaving our country
heartbroken. Of the 29 bud passengers, 16 lives were
taken. On April 7, 201 8, one of the passengers.
Broncos defenseman, Logan Boulet, passed away as a
result of his injuries. At his request, his parents lovingly
donated his organs to save the lives of six individuals.
Boulet's organ donation prompted the largest amount
of Canadians to register as organ donors in history.
1 50,000 individuals registered in the days and weeks
following the crash, beginning the Logan Boulet Effect.
Green shirt day is a reminder of how important it is to
Stand Together in times of tragedy and discuss the
importance of organ donation.
FOR MENTAL HEALTH
WRM Staff and Students - YOU ROCK! Your participation is just one small way
that you can show someone you care!

On Wednesday, May 4, 2022, students and staff at W.R. Myers were invited to
take part in Hats On! For Mental Health. Hats On! Is a provincial initiative that
encourages students and staff in all schools to wear a hat to help raise awareness
of the importance of positive mental health. Students and staff participated by
wearing hats and engaging in conversations that focused on understanding
mental health and the importance of removing the stigma associated with mental
illness.
®OTG Headstrong is a student led initiative that aims to end the stigma around mental health. Headstrong is Canada's only National 'evidenced
based' mental health youth leadership program. The goal is to reduce stigma and encourage an open and supportive environment whera
youth feel able to Be Brave, Reach Out and Speak Up for mental health. I
The Headstrong team met every Tuesday at lunch from November to May to discuss mental health stigma and how to implement many®
the awesome ideas throughout the school. <
They initiated the Christmas locker decorating contest to "spread happiness when it's not always happy." They were involved in pink floa-
ay, a way to treat students and staff while promoting their anti bullying message. The largest project they took on was during mental
ealth week. The team planned and implemented activities that outlined ways to cope with mental health difficulties positively. Each day,
pey planned a new activity that all students and staff were invited to participate in. They began the week with providing houseplants to
veryone; on Tuesday they hosted a DIY stress toy activity; Wednesday, all were invited to a movie night; Thursday, students were invited
p meet a therapy dog and the week wrapped up with a dance competition! It was a FANTASTIC week!

at Castle Mountain in March! There were definitely lots of tumbles
and lots of races down the mountain! Laughs were had by all!
Everyone looks forward to our annual ski trip, so if you have never
gone, next year is your year, don't miss out!

and a view of the mountains. Afterwards the group went exploring
in town where they enjoyed some ice cream and shopping. To top
off the trip they finished off at Cameron Falls. It was a memorable

mountain of gum (which has since found a new home) - his sense of
humor couldn't be beat! But most important was his incredible ability
to always teach the curriculum with a fierce intensity that truly
captivated his student audience! He had an amazing ability to instill the
desire to learn in each and every one of his students. Not only learn,
but do their very best! He loved his curriculum and he loved teaching it
to the student of WR Myers.
Did you know? Luch also had a fierce love of baseball. He coached for
many years, but he was also a phenomenal player in his younger years
- he competed in the "Little League Baseball World Championships" on
more than one occasion!
Noel Kehler started at WR Myers in the Fall of 1 998, but began
teaching years a few earlier in Warner. For the most part, during her
24 years at Myers Noel taught English and Textiles. Did yo/j know?
She also taught Art as well. Noel had a love of English literature that
she passed on to many students. Her commitment to growing the
Textiles program was second to none! Her skill and passion for
anything textiles related showed in the vast array of projects students
worked on (quilts, crocheting, hoodies, stuffed animals, pin cushions
(Voodoo dolls)-you name it, she could teach it! Did you know? She
even helped a student make her own Graduation dress! Mrs. Kehler
also held a Sewing Club after school for many years where anyone of
any age to could come and learn the basics of sewing. Anyone of any
age meant even elementary students joined in the fun! Our many high
school musicals over the years would be be lost without her devotion
to being lead Costume Designer - take a look after our most recent cast
from Fiddler on the Roof - it is important to note that almost everyone
had more than 1 costume change, maybe even 3 or 4 in some cases!
She put her heart and soul into ensuring the costuming in each and
every musical was spot on for the time period!
Rebel of the Decade - Greg Bowes is not retiring, but has sought
greener pastures in his new role of Vice-Principal at DA Ferguson. Mr.
Bowes joined the team here at WR Myers in 2010. During his time
here he has taught all levels of Phys Ed classes. Science 14-24, CALM,
Math 1 0-3 and various options. He has also been our Athletic Director
for over 8 years and VP for the last 3 years. He has always been a
favorite among the students because of his passion in the Gym. More
often than not, Bowes was the go-to person to drive the bus to many
different sporting events (regular season games. Zones, Provincials) -
you name it, he was right there - either coaching or cheering everyone
on to do their very best! His passion often times went beyond sport.
He even tried his hand at high school musicals, where he picked up
small roles when needed. His love of music also meant he chaperoned
band trips as well! Did you know? Mr. Bowes is an accomplished
violin player and also plays the piano as well! Mr. Bowes you will be
missed, the staff and students at DAF are gaining a huge as
