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.

Formal was held at the Civic

Myers, Grassy Lake, Vauxhall,
Hays, and Enchant were invited.
Coats were checked in at the door

on.
A live band, The Peace Dogs,
was hired from Calgary. The
music was loud and heavy. Some
appreciated that more than others.

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:

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.

EDITOR’S
MESSAGE
1970-the Dawn of a new Decade, a year of improvements for the students of Myers. Looking back over the 1969-
1970 term, Myers has had a very full year. A great many improvements have gone through with the student council
teacher-student committee, and newspaper only to mention a few. All these put Myers back on its feet, a step further
to improvement and our goal of perfection. Still, due to approximately five percent of the students attending Myers,
perfection may be a long way off. These few who couldn't care heads or tails about the school or its reputation as long as
their fun isn't being ruined. This was shown on a weekend activity by those drinking on a bus during a school sponsored
activity. Not only did it down-grade our school through all of Alberta but a tighter policy and strong action was set on
us by the school board. Mr. George, at an assembly, explained the purpose of the policy and also the importance of us
rebuilding our reputation to where it can be heard. There are many mature individuals in our school, citizens who are
proud to be a member of W.R. Myers. With everyone's co-operation Myers can be a real nice school and a popular one.
With the spirit I've seen exhibited by students during the Rodeo Campaigning and elections, our band's trip to Moose Jaw
and Grad '79. I know it can be done. If the examples set here could be carried on next September the height of perfection
wouldn't be far off. Yet, it takes the co-operation of everyone of the students, not only 25-75, but all 100% of the
student body of Myers. Let's Be Proud of our school and build on to that road of perfection. In closing I would like to
thank the Dawn '70 Yearbook Staff and Mr. W. Paranuik for their co-operation. To the members of the graduating class
congratulations and best wishes in your future endeavours. Remember those next steps you take will lead you to the land
of opportunity and success, take each step carefully, it's your world and your life, live it. BE PROUD OF YOUR GOAL!

A THOUGHT
FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE
As this message for the 1969-'70 yearbook is being written, we
are caught up again in the myriad of year-end activities. The
last field trips, the graduation exercises, 'Open-House', the
examinations and the wind-up of other events all spell finis to
one school year. And long before the year is over, preparations
are well under way for the next one. All students have now registered
in classes of their choice in readiness for school opening in
September.
Upon reflection on the 1969 - '70 school year, it seems to me
there has been a major emphasis on communication. Several
attempts to increase communication between faculty and students were undertaken. Principal - student seminars,
student - faculty committee meetings and closer liaison with student councils all have proven worthwhile in giving
students an opportunity to express their opinions. Student opinions have been very useful in helping to shape policy
decisions. All these efforts have resulted in better communication, better understanding and an improved atmosphere
in the school.
The 1969-'70 school year can also be known as one of numerous successes for Myers School. Our achievements -
athletic, academic, social, musical and dramatic have been quite outstanding. We are looking forward to even
greater accomplishments next year.
Best wishes for success go to all the graduates as they leave Myers School to further their education or to find their
place in the world of work.

VICE-PRINCIPAL’S
MESSAGE
This year's graduating class, like many another, is going into a very
troubled world. Humanity is threatened by such a variety of dangers as pollution,
over-population, poverty, inflation, racial strife, huge stockpiles
of atomic armaments and the rapidly increasing use of drugs. The
Prophet of doom doesn't have far to look for ammunition! Some observers
of the world scene believe civilization is in danger of extinction. Even
worse than the physical threat is the spiritual deterioration. Despondency,
loss of faith, and hope seem to pervade the human race. What can the
high school graduate going out into the world do to combat this oppressive
gloom and pessimism and restrain the destructive trends.
Firstly, we must realize our obligations to strive and struggle against moral and spiritual decay. The daily practice
of kindness, charity, forbearance and brotherly love will do much to dispel the treat of strife on the individual, national
and international scale. Are not the above mentioned virtues most conducive to personal happiness and peace of mind?
In the pursuit of wealth and security many of us have failed to develop an ingrained honesty, humility and general
integrity. This lack in today's adults is the source of sharp criticism from our youth who attribute the ills of the world to
it. However, is the coming generation prepared to rectify the situation? Is it ready and willing to make the sacrifice of
personal comfort and well-being that people near and far may also enjoy our high standard of living? Are we prepared
to accept people of other races into the intimacy of our love and friendship? Christian virtue has been preached for
centuries but has never been given a fair trial in wide-spread practice. In the words of the immortal Mammy Yokum -
"Goodness is better than evil because it's nicer." The new morality of the present generation could well be fashioned
from a more sincere form of the old, rather than a complete rejection of the latter.
The young people of today are bitter about the ills and woes that they have inherited from previous generations. Will
bitterness, protest marches, violences, sit-ins and animosity cure these faults? I submit that a thoughtful examination of
all the accomplishments and sacrifices of today's parents would open the eyes of many of our youth. Is any useful purpose
served by the enormous generation gap that seems to exist today? A spirit of understanding, friendship, and cooperation
between the youth of today and its elders would be a good base to build the better new world we all pray for so
fervently!
World problems, such as pollution, over-population and inflation, require strenuous, concerted planning programs.
Good intentions in this area are useless without some extensive analytical thinking and implementation of this sound thinking.
Although these problems seem overwhelming, modern computer techniques and know-how should be equal to the
task. If man is to undertake the management of outer-space, he should first put this confused and troubled old planet in
order!

FOREVER GRATEFUL
At this time I would like to send my deepest appreciation and thanks to the following:
The Editor of the Fort Benton Yearbook for the pictures and their co-operation.
To Mr. Sudol, Brian Meisner, and the school photographer for all their pictures. Without these three the yearbook would not be completed. Also to any others who have contributed pictures, Leslie Higa and Dennis Kunimoto only to mention a few. Mentioning pictures I would like to thank George Meyer of the Taber Times for his co-operation and pictures.
To the Taber Business Merchants for their sponsorship in putting out this yearbook. We are very thankful for their patronage.
To Mr. George and all the teachers who put up with class interruptions and helped all to the best of their ability.
A special thanks to our yearbook advisor, Mr. Paranuik, who helped the staff get over its roughest problems. I really would not have been able to succeed in fulfilling my position if it hadn't been for his encouragement, his ideas and his talents in keeping cheerful even with heavy deadlines to meet.
An extra special thanks to the yearbook staff who spent nights at the school to meet a deadline. Thanks greatly.
Also to Jim Ackerman and Adele Bonetti (St. Mary's Editor) for their co-operation. My deepest thanks and sympathy to the Night Watchman who still hasn't figured out if we really are working or what.
Finally to Mr. Haberland and Mr. Cy Brown of Inter-Collegiate Press for their helpful hints and their co-operation.
To each of these and everyone thanks for a wonderful year. I really enjoyed working as editor of Dawn 70. To everyone best wishes in their future endeavors.
Thanks for everything, Ami KadoyamaVICE-PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
DEMOCRACY: as it has been established in our society with its rules and regulations; is based upon Judo-Christian
values and principles. If this society is considered "good" then its rules and values need not and should not be changed
or lowered for the small percentage, about two percent, who do not wish to adhere to them or behave accordingly.
Why should the two or even five percent of the population impose their standards or lack of standards upon the rest
of the people. In society at large, we hear of so many demonstrations and riots by people who object to the establishment
and want things changed for their accomodation and wish to impose their way upon the vast majority. If there
are matters which need changing let us change them in a manner which is based upon democratic methods rather than
upon chaos and destruction, with unruly demonstration.
Some modern day agitators have declared that they believe it matters not how the goal is achieved, that it's all
right if there is a lot of destruction and vandalism done by the protestors just as long as their demands are heard and
they get their way. This is wrong; this is not democracy.
Nothing really worth while was ever achieved without honest hard work. It is the hope and aim of the school to
instil the values of honesty, integrity, and good work habits so that students may become industrious and useful citizens
of a democratic society.

Pep Rallies
A fun way to get out of class
Once every week the Students’
Council holds a meeting to talk
about upcoming events and ideas
for the student body to do. The Student
Council organizes a pep rally
every two months. This is done to
break the monotony of things, increase
school spirit, as well as to develop
a form of pride within the
school. By doing this, it shows our
support for the extracurricular
teams as well as allowing us to have
fun and get out of class.

The yearbook was exciting this year because the theme, Dare
To Be Different, was such fun to work with. 1993 and 1994
were certainly different. We enjoyed working on the yearbook.
It is always rewarding to do the yearbook; we faced many challenges
of meeting deadlines, writing copy, finding the right pictures,
etc. It wasn’t easy but we made it! We would like to thank
Mrs. Klemen for all the help she gave us. Also thanks to all of
the students in Journalism.

Valedictorian
Teachers, friends, family, and graduands. Here in Southern Alberta, one of the
events everyone looks forward to the most is the arrival of spring, as it has come
to mean rebirth and renewal.
One morning, when we had our first spring weather, a thought came to me.
In students’ lives, the most anticipated event is graduation. The feelings that accompany
spring are also associated with graduation. Graduation is the rebirth
of the world as a fresh group of young adults rise to the occasion to fill their niche.
Of course, we couldn’t have gotten here without the nurturing and love we received
from our friends and family. Over the years, they guided us. comforted us.
and stood by us. Words can not express our appreciation. But, as we begin to
leave the nest, we will not wander far because we have strong roots.
_ As graduands. we have many dreams and have set high hopes for ourselves.
For the first time, we will realize what it really means to be in a more competitive
environment than W.R. Myers High School. To survive, we must take the responsibility
to reach deep inside to find the self-motivation to bring about success. Also
be responsible for the actions you take to reach your goals. Hard work and determination
is the surest way to go. Take care of yourself: you don't want to end
up being a lost wanderer.
Along the way. have fun. Challenge yourself and experience life. Once your destination
has been reached, it’ll make the journey that much more meaningful.
The most common complaint among students is "We are never going to use this
stuff again." We did learn something that we can use throughout our journey. Don't
follow in the footsteps of Willy Loman, watch out for Big Brother, and heed the
words of Polonius.
With twelve years of knowledge tucked away, the important piece of paper that
will be our meal ticket, and with the love of family and friends in our hearts, we
are on our way!
Best wishes to you all!

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?

SPIRIT OF ’75 TRIP
After a full two years of planning and fund-raising 62 students and 8 supervisors departed from W. 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.

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

“I would take them all up by my locker, because I’m kind of lazy.”
- Jeff McClung
“On the first floor so you don’t have to walk up the stairs.” - Lance
Nielsen
“I would take all my classes in the gym because I could always be
practising my foul shots.” - Dugan Broadfoot
What place in the school provided the spot for your
most embarrassing moment?
“Anna pulled my shorts down in the gym in front of the girls’ basketball
team.” - Ryan Jensen
“In the gym when I ran into the bleachers.” - Brad Kercher

Quite a large number of our students work down town. It is
really hard to walk into a store in Taber and not see someone
from our school. The following are the results from our after
school survey.
What is your after school job? If you could have any job what
would it be? Craig Pollock: “I’m busy flipping burgers at A &
W.” Ian Aitchison: “I would just like receiving money in the
mail.”
What do you do with the money you make from your job?
If you don’t have a job, what would you do with the money
you would have? Caryanne Chapple: “I’m saving to buy a new
set of wheels and I use it for weekend stuff (If you know what
I mean). ” Mark Nelson: “I buy Kazoos to add to my collection. ”
Does your job interfere with your social life and/or school?
Laura Sawatzky: “No, I don’t do homework.” Anita Froese: “It
would a little but mostly my social life. I would have to learn
to deal with it.”
Why or why don’t you have an after school job? Derrick
Kromm: “I’m too dedicated to school.” Cory Carlin: So, I have
money. Not all kids have parents willing to give them money
all the time.”
What do your parents think of you having or not having a
job? Marnie Atwood: “They think I’m lazy.” Amber Sinclair: “My
mom likes it because it keeps me busy and teaches me about
spending my money.”

Just Been Hanging Around
Spare classes are allowed to Grade 11 and 12’s
only. Some choose to have them if they have room
in their schedule. The spare class gives them a break
from the classroom.
“Most of the time during my spare class I go to
the library and do homework”, explained Cornelius
Wiebe.
Donelle Andrus revealed “sometimes I hang out
at Mr. Gammon’s house.”
Sit and wait for the bus or work for money at my
job”, Ian Anderson commented.
Michelle Jensen and Amber Sinclair both agree
driving in circles, eating and sleeping are the best
ways to spend their spare class.
Visiting friends or watching soaps is what Jamie
Pyne does.
Shannon Buchta stated he goes home.
Bryan Schramm either sleeps or does homework
in Del’s classroom.
“I do absolutely nothing”, says Scott Siemens.

Pep rallies are only one of the many highlights of our high school years.
It lets us have a break in our days of hard work. During the pep rallies
students can reveal themselves to their classmates and the teachers. A quiet
student might come out as a really outgoing person. The students that are
shy just sit on the bleachers and watch the action. The teachers also redeem
themselves to the students and fellow teachers. The new teachers really
show off when they try to act like the students. We recently sent out a survey
about the pep rallies. The first question was:
What is your favorite thing about pep rallies? Kevin Baker,
Grade 12, replied, “We can laugh at the teachers and not get in trouble.”
Various other Grade 12’s replied, “Just the part of getting out of class.”
What activities would you include iff you were in charge of
the next pep rally? Dallin Evanson, Grade 12, replied, “Have a good
old pie eating contest.” Sharia Eldridge, Grade 12, replied, “Anything that
makes a mess.”
Who do you like to participate the most in pep rallies? Blair
Kover, Grade 12, replied, “People who aren’t afraid to make a fool of
themselves. Various Grade 12’s replied, “The teachers.”
What was your favorite pep rally so far? Bo Hall, Grade 12,
replied, “Last year’s mud wrestling in the pudding.” Dana Carlsen, Grade
12, replied, “The Halloween one this year.”

There is a wide variety of classes at W.R. Myers High School.
This survey is on some of those classes.
How do you pass time while still looking attentive? “Try not to
snore!”, said Spencer Hart. “1 look at the teacher every second so
it looks as though I’m listening,” revealed Cory Titterington.
How do you get from one side of the school to the other in only
five minutes for the break between classes? “Run as if the second
bell had run,” said Brad Potiuk.
What are some frustrations that you’ve encountered this year
writing an essay for any class? “As I was sitting in class one time
and thinking of what to write, suddenly a panel from the ceiling
fell on my head! The resulting splatters of blood on my paper made
an interesting statement in Morse code. I quickly wrote it down
before I passed out,” said Ian Aitchison.

The students’ at W.R. Myers’ High School represent fads and fashions
nationwide. All the students here dress as they feel and express
themselves freely. Although not everyone agrees with the varying opinions,
dressing is a way of life and the way you dress represents you.
A survey was handed out to share these opinions. When the question
of “why do you dress the way you do?” was asked, Dugan Broadfoot
claimed that the girls like it, whereas Scott Siemens says its because he’s
“O’ so cool.” Jody Francis chooses her clothing because they’re not in
the laundry. When asked where do you shop, Cory Carlin replied,
“whereever the road takes me.” Well, the road takes Lance Nielsen to
Zellers in Lethbridge. Shannon Buchta likes to shop at 7-11 and C.J.’s
although he won’t find any clothes there. Anita Froese shops at Charisma
and her brothers’ closet. Jeff McClung states that he doesn’t talk to his
parents so he is unable to find out how his parents feel about the way
he dresses. Scott Siemens replied, “Well, I’m not exactly sure but if they
say something I will have to hurt them.” I don’t think his parents would
agree. The last question that was asked was “What type of clothing suits
you best?” Brad Murray stated that his type of clothing is some that he
likes and some that you don’t. Jeff McClung says that he likes anything
that is not brand name along with clothing that shows he doesn’t want
to associate with others. As you can tell, the individuality here at Myers
is what makes our school so unique. Because of this, very few people
can compete with our students.

How Long Has It
Been There?
AND THE SURVEY SAYS
What is your favorite thing to do at lunch? Tom replied
“take people’s lunch money.”
What is your favorite food item from the cafeteria?
Spencer Hart replied “A deli wedge but I’ve only had 1/15 of one
because they are always gone and I like slurpees.”
What do you do when you don’t have any money?
Darren Kormos replied “Bum money from Jimmy Lucus.” (Hit him
up, he’s good for it.)
What is the worst thing you ever ate from the cafeteria?
Nick Pyrch said, “whatever they sweep up off the floor and
call mystery meat special.”

Myers family members in a small boat, 1910
No full textKenneth Myers and his family spent summers at a camp on Yeomalt Point, Bainbridge Island, Washington. Family members enjoyed taking pictures of their activities and surroundings. In 1910, they gathered photographs together into a small album which they entitled "Summer Snaps."
This 1910 photo shows Kenneth Myers (center) in a small rowboat with a brother and sister. His sister (right) wears a dress-like bathing suit which is typical of the times. Myers' brother Donald had built the boat, apparently out of scrap lumber.1 glass negative: b&w; 4 x 5 in

PRINCIPAL’S
MESSAGE
Congratulations to the yearbook committee who have worked long and faithfully to produce the 1971
edition of "Memories". Between its covers are many items which symbolize a year ip the lives of a
great many people.
As I collect some ideas for a yearbook message my thoughts run back over the past seven years that
I have been associated with Myers School. Principals may come and go; students come and go; but the
school as an institution carries on. Each year or era makes its own contribution.
Over the past seven years the accomplishments of Myers School have been many and varied. Many
top scholars have excelled in the academic area, and many top athletes have excelled in the sports
field. The introduction and development of the band program added a valuable dimension to the school
program. The elective program has been extended to give students a wide selection of courses. The
Graduation Exercises have been developed into a pattern and tradition that is unrivaled. The junior
high modified program, the work experience, the driver education, special project credits, have each
served to meet the needs of groups of students.
A new era in communications has begun in which students' opinions are actively sought. Through
the established channels of student Council representatives or through individual entreaty students'
opinions and thoughts are presented and considered when policy decisions are being made.
To the students who are leaving Myers School, may I say best of luck in all your endeavours. Be
proud of what you have contributed to your fellow man. You are now part of a heritage and an alumni.
Never let anyone belittle you by attacking your heritage. It is what you have made it.
To the students who will be continuing at Myers School, I urge you to uphold the fine traditions of
your school. May all of your actions be such that you can look back with pride upon your contributions.

DEDICATION
Caretaker of our school, Mr. Tufts passed away on Thursday,
January 14, at an early age of 57. He was born in Taber on
November 23, 1913. Prior to his employment at the school in
1955, Mr. Tufts farmed in the Taber-Barnwell Area.
MR. CLARENCE TUFTS
Mr. Tufts was continually fixing something, finding lost articles and just helping the students in any way he could.
Six A.M. usually found him at work, checking thermostats in each room, servicing the heating units, replacing defective
electrical fixtures, touching up the floor wax, removing black heel marks from the floor, and almost countless other
little details to render the school acceptable to teachers and students.
We now realize the loss we have sustained. There will be others to succeed him but I feel he can never be replaced.
I feel he gave this school the most precious thing he had, "his life" . Emblazoned forever in our minds will be such words
as "Clarence Tufts - faithful to the end".
Wm. E. Litchfield........ Teacher
Mr. Tufts will long be remembered at Myers School, not only for his work as Caretaker, but more important for the
sincere interest he had in the students and in all school activities. This interest manifested itself in a cheerful willingness
to do extra work, to help students or teachers, or to return to the school after hours. Mr. Tufts was one who always went
the second mile in any aspect of his work as Caretaker at Myers School.
J.L. George........ Principal
The students of Myers have always appreciated the friendly disposition of Mr. Tufts, his willingness to help whenever
and wherever he could. As long as we can remember, Mr. Tufts has been a part of our school. It is for these reasons that
we, the students of Myers pay tribute to Mr. Tufts for his many years of service and devotion to the school.
Eric Evanson........ Student Body President
VICE-PRINCIPAL'S
MESSAGE
The one word that best describes today's society is "uncertainty". Political, industrial and financial
leaders seem to have the jitters; their decisions seem less accurate, their judgments less wise. The slaughter
and destruction in South Viet Nam, at Attica Prison, in Biafra and in East Pakistan have horrified the world.
The unemployment figures and hippies on our highways have an ominous air of foreboding for our way of life
How is a young high school student to prepare himself for entry into this chaotic adult world? Some are
taking to drugs while others have reconciled themselves early to living dangerously. But there is an effective
preparation to meet the challenges of the future! Education! Schools are striving to develop intellectual
strength and thinking competence to solve society's problems; to instill courage, faith and sound morality in
our young people in answer to the forces threatening our social structure. Be of good cheer, virtue, goodness
and work will prevail and dispel fear of the future!

VICE-PRINCIPAL’S
MESSAGE
The school has a specific function to perform in society, which it can only do if students are willing to
let it perform its task. The school has the responsibility of providing the facilities and the opportunities for
students to develop their potential. The real purpose and intent of the student in attending school should be
that he or she become the most effective person that it is possible to become while, taking advantage of the
opportunities here.
When students fail to achieve their objectives, the failure perhaps should be shared by three: the home,
the school and the student. The success or failure is mainly the result of communication or lack of it among
the three.
I would like to commend all those who have had a successful year at school and wish continued success in
the future. Keep the channels of communication open is my challenge to you in your days to come.

loss -- this time in the departure of Mr. Small. Our illustrious vice-principal has been with us for
three years, during which time he has endeared himself with his patient understanding and friendly
interest in the academic and personal problems of even the most undeserving pupil. His Scottish
burr, lively wit and cheerful disposition have brightened the lives of many in our school. Mr. Small's
influence was felt throughout the community -- in the Kiwanis Club and church activities, to
mention two areas.
The Small family came from Selkirk, Scotland where Mr. Small was instructor in science for five
years. Needless to say, he brought much that was new and inspiring from Scotland to Taber. Mr.
Small enrolled in graduate study in the University of Alberta at Edmonton under a Department of
Education sponsored superintendency fellowship. We all wish him and his family success and happiness
in this new undertaking.

As this is being written, all of us are busy
with the myriad of detail needed to bring the
school year to an end. With examinations and
marks, year-end reports and textbooks, yearbook
pages and house cleaning, we are looking forward
to the end of the term and the holidays. We also
are looking back over a rather peaceful year in
which much has been accomplished. A few of
our students have proven themselves academically
by winning scholarships and prizes, a few of our
students have already established themselves in
employment, but the vast majority of our students
look on the year as another milestone successfully
completed on the road to a lifelong career.
May I suggest that sometimes there is too much emphasis placed on looking to the future and not
enough on the here and now. If all of us would put forth our best effort to get today's job done with the
greatest possible degree of excellence, the tomorrow would look after itself. To illustrate: if each
student would attack each day's lessons with a fired-up zeal, if every day were counted as an
opportunity to learn, then the writing of .examinations or the future of building a career would be well
taken care of. This applies to us as teachers, too. If each of us were to teach each day's lessons
with a striving for perfection, with a determination to make each minute count, with an energetic
drive that would inspire our colleagues and our students, then our concerns about learning course
content, about developing attitudes to work, about good examples set - these would all be accomplished.
If all of us, both students and teachers worked as if each day's tasks were the all-important issue,
then our dreams would come true and W. R. Myers School would become one of the best high schools
in Alberta with an enviable scholastic record and an atmosphere of friendly cordiality. Only by
concentrating on the present can we make the future materialize.
On behalf of the staff, may I congratulate the graduating class on reaching this pinnacle of
achievement. Our sincere wishes for your continued success go with you as you leave this institution
to build your own careers. Many other groups of students also deserve recognition - the yearbook
committee, the Students' Unions, the Key and Keyette Clubs, the sports teams, and the numerous
student clubs. A great many people have contributed to the success of this year. An all-inclusive
vote of thanks and congratulations to all.

This summer approximately 20% of Alberta School teachers will be leaving their jobs; some to return to University, some to enter the world of commerce, some to retire, but most simply moving to a different school unit.
Finding myself in the ranks of migrant teachers I am prompted to examine the implications of such upheavals for schools such as our own.
To some uninformed, ahigh staff turn-over may be interpreted as a symptom of malaise within the school's administration, but this is often a false conclusion. In fact a high turn-over may be the result of stimulated prbfessional ambition arising in a school where teacher talents are identified and nurtured, and new opportunities revealed. In other cases the movement of teachers is for personal reasons quite divorced from professional considerations; and in rural school divisions it is part of the general sociological trend of population migration to the cities. In short the reasons behind teaching staff turn-over are more significant than the numbers involved.
Allowing that a high staff turn-over may mean increasing opportunities for teachers, the question remains of the effect of such apparent instability on the students. Their interests are fundamental to a school's existence and must never be relegated to a position of secondary consideration. But does turnover necessarily correlate with instability and reduced educational offerings? The answer to this is revealed by the fact that many progressive centres of learning have planned discontinuity from a policy of short-term staff appointments. Thus fresh thinking is brought to old problems, and stagnation is never a concern. Such a school or college is not the most peaceful of sanctuaries, but the concept of education as secluded contemplation and study was lost in the Renaissance. The modern version of an efficient school, awake to the challenge of the future, is one functioning just within its "tolerance of turbulence", and it is the duty of the school's administration to find and live up to its tolerance level rather than to promote a comfortable, undisturbed school climate.
Thus a high turn-over of young teachers is potentially beneficial to them, and also to the schools they serve providing that suitable replacements are available.
In the event that I have given the impression that the panacea for a school's ills is an unstable staff let me now point out that there is a distinction between turbulence and chaos, and between the two stands a sound administration and a permanent core of superior teachers--our school has both.
It sometimes vexes me when our departing staff members receive the accolades while those who give continuous service for many years appear to get little recognition. They have less tangible rewards perhaps, but rewards which are just as meaningful: the satisfactions of a job well done. To these teachers in particular I wish to express my appreciation of their helpful reception three years ago, and to all teachers and students my thanks for the opportunity of working in your midst and for the many pleasurable experiences shared with you.
Finally I wish Mr. George, Mr. Semaka and Mr. Francis success in their endeavours. Under their guidance this school, like the town, has an assured future. Make the most of its opportunities!

Throughout the year of 1965-66 we've had the co-operation and help of the Junior High students
in all our functions.
The dances which we have had have all been successes. The Valentine Sweetheart Prom had the
biggest turnout with 265 students in attendance. The Centennial Dance for the flagpole was also
supported by the Junior High and was well attended. The Rodeo Queen Dance for Marilyn Christie had
the best turnout for both Junior and Senior High with an attendance of 352. Our End of the Year Dance
was held on May 28 and was one of our best functions.
The many projects we've had have all been supported to the fullest. The Centennial Room Projects
alone gave the Junior High good reason to be proud as over $100 was turned in. The Junior High
strongly supported Marilyn as Rodeo Queen by selling tickets and turning out to all the projects planned.
In closing, I would like to say that I appreciated all the support and help the Junior High has given
me and the council to make this Students' Union Year of 1965-66, One to Remember.

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

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

ADVISOR: MR. PAUL STEVENSON
W.R. Myers Areodynamics and Rocketry
Club, better known as M. A.R.C. The club
has a strength of approximately 20 members
and is very fortunate to have Mr. Stevenson
as advisor. The club successfully carried out
four or five launches during the year, as well
as going on a field trip to the University of
Calgary to gain information on the Rocket
experiments done on the Northern Lights. The
Rocketry Club is open to all people in the
school and we hope to see some better participation
in future years.

which originally sold for 500 ended up being
worth $150. The students involved
