    The annual publication of the students of Gilbert Paterson Junior High, Lethbridge, Alberta.(1974-75)pdfREFLECTION 75 Yearbook of Gilbert Paterson Junior High School, Lethbridge, Alberta 1974-75This yearbook is dedicated to Mrs. Lynda Murray, who has been the head secretary of Gilbert Paterson School for the past ten years from 1965 1975. Mrs. Murray came to our school after taking the business training course at the L.C.I. For two years, she was the only secretary here and then some part time help came along. She has enjoyed working here im­mensely. Before coming here, she worked for the Government Experiment­al Farm. Early in the year, Mrs. Murray moved to a farm near Coaldale. She says she really enjoys the quiet farm beauty and the Coaldale community. She is married and has a brand new baby. She also has a pet cat called Toby. Her hobbies include knitting and hooking rugs, swimming, painting, gardening and cooking. Her new pro­fession is that of a full time home­maker. We have really appreciated you in all the ways you have helped us Mrs. Murray. From everyone at Gilbert Paterson, many thanks and best wishes for the future.THE DECISIONS THAT COUNT This school year has been one of the best that I can remember. To­gether we have faced many small prob­lems and inconveniences caused by the on going construction program, but everyone has been most considerate and thoughtful. We now look forward to the fullest possible enjoyment of our new facilities in this and in the years to come. Our school is fast becoming what we dreamed of and there are many reasons for this. Some are architectural, but the more important ones are the many little considerat­ions we have shown each other daily throughout this very trying period in our development. In like manner, it is the small things that will decide what each of us will get out of life. We often think that our lives will be shaped by the big decisions we make: Will I go to Univer­sity? What will I do for a living? Whom shall I marry? Important as these are, it is the little decisions that we make every day of our lives that makes us into the person we are and will become. Often, we feel we have little freedom to make choices. Our parents, our teachers, and circumstances make them all for us. So, we drift along, giving little thought to such choices as: Will I watch a movie or will I do my homework? Will I find a hobby or will I just hang around? Whom shall I choose as friends -- or will I let others choose my friends for me? Will I be my own person or will I blindly follow the group? These are the kinds of decisions that make up the pattern of our lives. They deter­mine what we are or what we will be. This is why it is important for us to occasionally stop and ask ourselves: Why am I doing this? Why did I do that? What are the reasons for my actions? What is it that is important to me? What are my values? Sometimes we feel it is not necessary for us to make a decision but this is simply not valid. Life, itself, is a decision making process. To reneg in this, to refuse to make decisions is a cop-out of the most serious kind tantamount to committing oneself to a life of failure and disappointment. Do not let yourself drift for, 'not to decide is to decide'. Take a stand in life and be someone. Remember the words of the wise man who said, "By small and simple things are great things brought to pass."Yearbooks are not just for NOW. They become much more prized as the years wear on. So should it be with the school which produces the yearbook. I hope that you are enjoying your yearbook just as I hope your school years at Paterson are good years. But I believe that the real good­ness of the three years you spend here will become known to you after you leave. It has been the experience of many of us that the effort which is devoted to some task is repaid many times over as we reflect back on the result. If you believe this, it should become easier for you to put forth a good effort NOW and to enjoy the good feeling that accompanies your effort. Then if I say that I hope you get what you deserve, you will know I mean it positively. I hope you deserve happy thoughts about your school NOW and I hope those happy thoughts mean even more when you look back through this book next year and the year after that and the year after that. Over the years, the students of Paterson Junior High have exhibited very high standards in both behavior and achieve­ment. This year has been no exception. It has become a common occurence to hear those having the opportunity of work­ing in this school as well as members of the community ex­press their pleasure in working with and for you. In this brief message, I join with them and salute you also. In a day and age when it has become fashionable for young adults to adopt a negative stance, it is indeed refreshing to work with students who know and appreciate the value of good, honest effort. As you plan for your life ahead, may I make one suggest­ion for a life of true great­ness and immeasurable joy? The formula is simple and the doing is both exciting and extremely rewarding. In whatever walk of life you choose, seek to serve and better the situation of your fellow man. I guarantee that in so doing, your own life will be both happy and meaning­ful .

CrightonThe New Media Centre We are very proud of our new media centre. The construction started in late spring and was completed on March 4. The librarians moved in the same day. It is now open for the whole schools enjoyment. When the yearbook staff asked Mrs. Endresen how she liked it, she commented that "I'm quite pleased with the whole arrangement." Now, with the addition of the childrens' playroom, there is enough space for students to walk freely in and even more for storage. New facilities in the new library include; two power poles with four sur­rounding private booths each to work in. Also, there is a new magazine area, with coffee table, love scat and easy chairs. Other features are a cable T.V. hookup and a lovely display of stuffed geese, owls, crows and other things all over the room. We hope that in the future, Paterson students will use and enjoy these beautiful facilities to the fullest possible extent.Mr. P. Chapman Mr. J. Clack Mrs. J. Cummins Mr. S. Danyluk Mr. E.

Saying so-long or farewell to a place that has so many happy memories and where we have shared so many happy experiences is much easier said than done. Many wonderful developments have taken place over the last few years here at Paterson. Our Activities Program is a fine example of this. Having so many dif­ferent things to choose from including boys' cooking, girls' shop, lapidary, and so many other crafts, hobbies and skills has made it very special. With such great people in this school, we at Paterson have really made it work. Teachers and students have cooperated together in so many areas and have made our whole program not only enjoyable but really exciting and so very worthwhile. Our teachers have been the kind who were always willing to hear our side of things -- ideas, suggestions, comments --it didn't matter. They were always willing to give us a helping hand whenever it was needed. Another great thing is the new construction and our sparkling new gym, canteen, and library -- not to mention additional conference rooms for our Paterson com­munity, the redecorated classrooms and our new science rooms. These have all contributed to making our school a better, more efficient, cheerier place to be in. As Grade 9's, now graduating, we won't be here to gain the full benefit of these beautiful facilities next year, but I am sure that those who succeed us next year and in the years to come will appreciate them as we have in these few months since our official opening. But it isn't just the new facilities or the act­ivities program that gives us this feeling of belonging: It is the fact that we have belonged in every sense of the word. Some of us started school here in Grade 1 -- On behalf of all the Grade 9's graduating here today, I want to extend our sincerest thanks to our teachers, administrators and counselling staff. Special thanks go to the maintenance staff who helped us with our dances, carnivals and special events. We would like also to thank all those who contributed in so many ways to make this the kind of school we are really sorry to leave. Goodbye and good luck to you all -- and above all THANKS.

    Desistance and children: setting the scene

    Since the late 1990s, ‘desistance’ – understanding how people move away from offending – has become a significant research focus and ‘increasingly ubiquitous’ in central policy (Maruna and Mann, 2019). Since 2014, with the introduction by the Youth Justice Board of a new assessment framework, desistance thinking has been progressively transplanted to youth justice in England and Wales from the adult justice system. Given that the desistance evidence base is primarily rooted in the experiences of adults who have a history of criminal behaviour, one might have expected this development to have been accompanied by some debate. Yet, discussion or examination of the relevance of desistance thinking to children in the justice system remains scarce, comprising a significant and important gap in scholarship. While there is a limited, albeit developing, international knowledge base about the desistance pathways of children, these studies have typically focused only on children defined as ‘serious’ or ‘persistent’ ‘offenders’. With desistance thinking increasingly applied across the spectrum of youth justice sanctions in England and Wales, it has become necessary to understand, and question, the relevance of desistance thinking with a much broader group of children. This is particularly pressing in light of the growing proportion of out-of-court disposals within youth justice caseloads, which comprise nearly half of supervision cases in some areas. And even among children on court-ordered community sentences, nearly 80 per cent now either have no or a minimal history of recorded offending (Youth Justice Board/MoJ, 2023). How might desistance theories apply given that most children’s offending ‘careers’ are limited to adolescence (Moffitt, 1993) and, thus, desistance is largely normative? Our starting point is that children’s distinct needs, by virtue of their young age and ongoing development, together with their typically normative offending, raise important questions about the relevance and meaning of desistance thinking to their pathways away from crime. In light of this, our core guiding questions are: * What helps children to move away from offending, and in what ways, if at all, does this vary by ethnicity, class and gender? * To what extent is the concept and theorisation of desistance helpful when applied to children or does it, alternatively problematise rather than normalise children’s behaviour? * How is desistance thinking currently understood and implemented in youth justice policy and practice? * What are the implications of the answers to these questions for youth justice theory, research, policy and practice? The collection has been initiated by the National Association for Youth Justice (NAYJ), the only individual charity which campaigns exclusively for the rights of, and justice for, children in trouble with the law. The NAYJ believes that children who come to the attention of criminal justice agencies should be viewed individually according to their stage of development and treated as a child first and foremost (National Association for Youth Justice, 2019). The editors of this collection are all members of the NAYJ’s Board of Trustees. Given that the charity is based in England and Wales, we have not attempted to give the book an international focus. However, it is likely that many of the chapters will be of international interest given that the role of desistance theory within youth justice is not restricted to a single jurisdiction. Given the focus of the NAYJ’s work, our philosophical position that children should be treated as distinct from adults, and the relative dearth of literature specific to desistance and children, the book deliberately, and unapologetically, restricts itself to discussion of individuals in conflict with the law who are under 18. In line with the ethos of the NAYJ, and international standards of children’s rights, we refer throughout to these individuals as children, and the terms ‘youth’, ‘juvenile’ and ‘young offender’ are deliberately eschewed

    What next for desistance and youth justice?

    The roots of this book lie in conversations about desistance and children in early 2021 that originated following an online event with academics, practitioners and policymakers who energetically critiqued and commented on the relevance and application of desistance theories to youth justice-involved children. While the purpose of the online event was to launch a briefing paper on desistance and youth justice, and thus mark the culmination of the National Association for Youth Justice’s (NAYJ) work on the topic, the discussions led to a number of reflections and questions. What helps children to move away from offending? To what extent is the concept and theorisation of desistance useful to explaining this during childhood and adolescence? Does the application of desistance theories risk problematising rather than normalising children’s behaviour? How is desistance thinking understood, interpreted and implemented in youth justice policy and practice

    In a series of essays published in 2013 and 2014 on capitaspower.com, political economist Tim Di Muzio explored the concept of ‘sabotage’ as it applies to capitalist power. I recently rediscovered these essays and was so impressed by them that I have reposted them here as a single piece. About the author: Tim Di Muzio is a researcher at the University of Wollongong. He is the author of numerous books, including Debt as power, Carbon capitalism, and The 1% and the Rest of us
