Kilback Each school year brings new challenges to students and staff, requiring fresh approaches to old problems, and a revised perspective on essential goals. We have struggled this year with development of course objectives and evaluation plans, with more weighty final exams, and a different budgetting system. The School Board is holding regular meetings in the various schools, thus enabling members to become more familiar with daily operations. The cafeteria committee, under sponsorship of the senior students council, is continuing to provide an effective and satisfying service to the students and staff. We are anticipating a substantial upgrading of the cafeteria facilities to further improve this function. Our extra-curricular scene has been very exciting and impressive this year, with outstanding accomplishment in sports, the fine arts and other activities. We appreciate all the students, teachers and other persons who have assisted with coaching and supervising various events during the year. Our instructional program, with its breadth of academic and vocational-type courses, need periodic assessment in terms of value to students and congruence with school and community objectives. Again, thanks to our Yearbook Committee and their advisor, Mr. Hart, for another quality production. ^^•■■■•■■■^■■■■■■■••HMrtMMMMHMIHM^_ __^____i___-_^_i—_— 67 Science: L. to R: Del Cleland, Rex Anderson, Dale Lusk, Dick Robinson, and Ken Lawson.

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.

But very thankfully, and in true Rebel Spirit, we made the most of the situation and were able to organize and provide our student-athletes with a few opportunities to participate in sport. The Rebels made teams and practiced as much as they possibly could in football, volleyball, cross-country, golf, basketball, and curling. Unfortunately, a few of our traditional sports were not able to get off the ground in the Spring, but hopefully that will only fuel the fire of the up and coming athletes for next season! We want to give a big thanks to all those student-athletes and coaches who committed to one or more of our teams during these tough, unprecedented circumstances, and a special shout out to all the Grade 1 2 student-athletes for all of their years of dedication to High School Sport!

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

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

A major event this year was the comprehensive school evaluation by personnel from the Regional Office. The evaluation identified certain areas of program, procedures, equipment, and physical facilities which needed attention by the staff and school board. Another development was action by the school board to assure greater control over students behaviour. Related to this issue was the formation of a parent/student/teacher advisory committee for consideration of matters of common concern, and participation by many parents in noon supervision throughout the winter months. The popular movement this year was "back to the basics," with its conflicting interpretations and viewpoints. A gradual change to a more highly structured curriculum is evident, with increased emphasis on standardized testing at various grade levels. However, what is basic to one expert may be a

M is what we can all acheive" A Mature Outlook On Life... PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Our Yearbook has come of age! It is gratifying to note that in the last couple of years deadlines have been met and the student committee has accepted real responsibility for the publication. And incredible as it may appear, the yearbook account should show a moderate surplus this year. A cooperative effort has paid off! Thanks are due to the advisor Mr. Morrison, to the student’s councils for allocating special funds, to the publisher’s representatives for their guidance, and especially to the yearbook committees for their committment and determination. However, the future of our current school program does not look so bright. In recent years the opertional costs haf have escalated along with rising costs everywhere. Inflation has taken its toll—decreasing purchasing power for supplies and replacement of equipment. We have six fewer teachers than we had five years ago, although our average yearly enrolment has not declined in that proportion. It has become increasingly difficult to maintain a broad program for the benefit of students with diverse needs and interests. Many classes are larger than they should be for effective teaching and learning; some classes in special interest areas may be too small to justify in strictly economic terms, but justifiable in terms of opportunities for non academically - oriented students. Provincial funding does not appear to be geared to a sufficiently high priority for education. The quality and extent of programs are bound to be affected. I expect that in the next few years the question of local priorities will become much more urgent, and that decisions may be made concerning substantial reduction or elimination of certain programs. If present trends continue there is a high probability that W. R, Myers will become essentially an academic Junior/ Senior high school simply because the operational costs per student per year are thereby minimized. Although there may be little argument over the need to main maintain a basic core academic program, there is likely to be much anxiety and stress when it comes to areas such as industrial arts, home economics, business education, art and music. What criteria will be used to judge their comparative educational values? Will comparative financial costs be the crucial factor? In the final analysis we must all face this question: How important is the school, and what do we want it to do for our students?

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

R. Myers High School on June 23, 1975 en route to Calgary airport. Wardair took efficient care of us and all our baggage, and once installed inside the 747, Myer's students lost no time im getting down to the business of eating, drinking, and trying to impress the stewardesses. The night was very short flying at 35000 feet and the next morning with the sun shining down on the green fields, our plane touched down at Gatwich airport, 40 miles south of London. There we were met by 2 buses and their drivers, Phil and Sinclair, who stayed with us throughout the entire 3 weeks. Suffice it to say that Phil and Sine turned out to be not only excellent drivers in England's congested traffic, but travel counsellors, baggage handlers, and our most enthusiastic applauders at every concert. It is impossible to summarize the varied activities of three weeks in a few short paragraphs. However some over-riding impressions remain: The support from the community, the unity which developed between student, teacher and parent, and the work of the executive committee were the three main factors in the success of the project The thrill of performing to capacity audiences nearly everywhere we went; the chance to look at a foreigh educational system; the chance to view Taber and our life style from a distance and to compare it with another. These were experiences not commonly met with in day to day life. The trip helped to invest the music program at the school with a certain amount of prestige. It also laid an excellent groundwork of cooperation amoug parents of music students—a spirit that has been carried on further this year by the Myers Music Association add those whose liaison in the future may help to benefit the music program at Myers still more. Malcolm EdwardsThe "Kissing Boulder" strikes again TRIP TO SPOKANE The highlight of the Chorus and Band classes this year was without doubt the trip to Spokane from Hay fifth to the eighth. Three buses left with one hundred and forty student plus Hr.

He became one of the greatest statesmen in world history. Churchill reached the height of his fame as the heroic prime minister of Great Britain during World War II. Churchill was also a noted speaker, author, painter, soldier, and war reporter. Sir Winston Churchill's personal courage, the magic of his words, and his faith in victory inspired the British to "their finest hour. " The mere sight of this stocky, determined man - a cigar in his mouth and two fingers raised high in a "V for victory" salute - cheered the people. Churchill not only made history, he also wrote it. As a historian, war reporter, and biographer, he showed a matchless command of the English language. In 1953, he won the Nobel prize for literature. Churchill entered the service of his country in 1895 as an army lieutenant under Queen Victoria. He ended his career in 1964 as a member of the House of Commons under Queen Elizabeth II, the great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Few men ever served their country so long or so well.

Oddie Mr. C. Rushford ttCUltu principal’s pcttcr Dear Students: At the time of writing two days have elapsed since the announcement of my resignation from the staff of the Taber School Division. In a few weeks time I shall be entering the Provincial Superintendency and leaving Taber for what is still an unknown destination. Wherever we go we shall consider ourselves extremely fortunate to find a home as happy as the one we are leaving, to find a community as friendly as Taber, and to find schools developing as rapidly as W.R. Myers. During the two years I have been here I have often heard remarks to the effect that big schools like ours lose the personal touch of smaller centres and therefore are bound to have a lesser degree of success. But you know, this is nonsense. Of course we cannot get to know one another as well as in much smaller schools, but this is a minor disadvantage when compared to the many great advantages our school offers its students and its teachers. What are these advantages? First there’s the quality of the teaching. Most teachers prefer to specialize and in our school they can do this. Secondly there is the question of physical plant and equipment. How far superior are our facilities than those of smaller centres! Thirdly there is the matter of the wide and varied programme. Only in the major cities can students have a more varied programme than ours, and this means that practically every student obtains a grade XII diploma in one subject field or another. There can be no doubt whatever that the students at W. R. Myers have greater opportunity and greater chance of success than any students in smaller schools, and each year the opportunities and the possibilities of success are increased. Next year Mr. George will take over the principalship. I know he will do a fine job and I know the staff and students will give him every support. I wish him every success and I know that he will find, as I have, a great deal of personal satisfaction in guiding W. R. Myers on its road to becoming a bigger and better school. I have one final word of advice to all. It is time to stop talking about the problems we have had, the lack of spirit we once showed, the poor morale we used to display. Those days are gone for Myers. The future is brighter and more promising than ever before. We must think positively and the ghosts of problems-past will no longer haunt us. Good-bye and good fortune to all. Mr. A. Baker Mr. W. Terriff Mr. H. Jepson Senior Mr. J. C. Bailey Miss H. Betner Mr. M. C. P. Thomas Mr. J. Mahnic Miss J. Evanson Mr. F. Semaka ^^h Mr. R.

Small rs F e c "^Cook to tip (Ant!” a At the time of writing this message a chemistry club is being formed at W. R. Myers High School, and the whole of the North American continent is mourning the needless death in Alabama of a Boston clergyman. h You may be wondering who two obviously unrelated events have apparently been linked together. If your c curiosity has been roused then read on. You may yet see that there is, in fact, a connection. tl o The study of chemistry is full of many fascinations. Chemicals are wonderful things. They fuel our engines sc clothe our backs, improve our farms, and fight our diseases. You name it—chemicals do it! Chemicals are all around you----- in fact chemicals ARE you. Your origins were two cells made of chemicals arranged variously into patterns called genes and chromosomes. You had no say in how these patterns were formed, neither could w your parents control them; yet in an instant of time they decided whether you would be short or tall, stout or thin, blue-eyed or brown-eyed, of high intelligence or not so high, white-skinned or black-skinned. It would be very strange if the tall people in W. R. Myers school dissociated themselves from the short people or the blue-eyed from the brown-eyed. It would be made disturbing if the suggestion was ever made that one group was worthier than the other. This would be generic prejudice, the product of ignorance. It is easy for us in Canada to malign our southern neighbours for such behavior, but we must not forget that behind the gene of skin colour are many differences of culture, established and perpetuated by generations. Recognizing this, it would be foolish to allow a new cult to develop in our own midst—the cult of intelligence, based as it is on similar chemical factors. Teachers have been criticized for placing too much importance on intelligence, but other public groups are more to blame. A world wide club exists membership of which is open to persons of very high I. Q. only; parents have been known to regard high I.Q. 's in their children as the latest status symbol; and, alas, some students in our own school, who see themselves as "smarter,” have adopted lordly attitudes over their classmates. Such self- glorification must surely breed prejudice. It is high time that the whole question of intelligence and worth be viewed in clearer perspective. Intelligence alone will not guarantee a free pass to a worthwhile life. There is the story of the student who was smart enough of mind to realize that by acting stupidly he would not be expected to produce at school. It was only after he "dropped-out" that he realized that undisciplined smartness produced little more than unemployment. Real smartness is knowing our own capabilities and working towards their realization. This smartness of personality is the key to the worthy life; it is not an accident of birth, but the sum total of every word we have ever heard, sight we have ever seen, and thought that has ever crossed our mind. It is something which develops continuously through life, and which is nurtured by good habits especially during the formative early years. Here we find the main reason for the existence of schools and compulsory education: to make available to all the benefits of a stimulating environment where personalities can develop. With the right personality behind it there will be a satisfying place in the world for any ability be it low or high. Let us "look to the ant” as Socrates advised his students thousands of years ago. Man will always be more capable than ants, but we can gain by studying the selfless purposefulness in their every activity which allows them to perform amazing feats, for the benefit of the whole colony. Ants are never idle, but faithfully carry out their assigned tasks according to their various specializations. Not all can be queens; some are soldiers; some are workers; but all are worthy because they know their purpose and dedicate themselves to its achievement. School can help you to know yourselves and to appreciate others, to identify yourselves with realistic and worthwhile goals, and to strive for these goals to your own satisfaction and for the good of your total society.

S. ^akdktorg ^Message Madame Chairman, honored guests, parents, and fellow students: Graduation is a word that has several connotations or meanings. Each person thinks of graduation in different terms. To the student, graduation is a time of celebration, now that he is truly on his own in the adult world. He is also apprehensive of the future, not knowing what lies ahead. The parents are proud-- proud that their child, who started school only yesterday (so it seems), has achieved this momentous step in his life. With this proudness, the parents feel a little remorse and have a few misgivings about their child now having the chance to make his own in life. Teachers are happy at graduation--happy that we students finally made it out of Grade Twelve. The twelve years of schooling before graduation have been compared to the climbing of a previously unconquered mountain, to the arduous plight of a small boat which eventually reaches harbor after being caught in a storm at sea, and to the journey of an explorer, who, following years of diligent search, finally attains his goal. Graduation is all these and more. Each graduate has a different concept of graduation. But they all have one thing in common; namely, each encountered snares and pitfalls as he struggled toward his goal--graduation. Tonight marks the leaving of a familiar way of life and heralds the beginning of a new way of life. During the first years of our lives, our teachers and parents have bravely attempted to instill some knowledge in us, the students. They realized the importance of our school years, for upon them depends the future. We students ofte fail to realize this until it is too late. Graduation is only the first small hill in a range of goals, tasks, and achievements. The hills will become mountains with steeper slopes and wider precipices. But these obstacles ol the adult world need not be feared; we have only to apply the skills of learning and reasoning garnered in the pas twelve years to find a solution to these problems. Not every oneofuswillbean Einstein or a Rockefeller, but we graduates must endeavour to make somethin! of ourselves according to our individual abilities. Never has a generation had so much to look forward to, to anticipate. These anticipations will only be realized if we, tomorrow's society, make it so. Herein lies our responsibility to man and to God. We may fail in fulfilling some of our goals and responsibilities. But the values of life should not be measured by material success. If we have done our best in an honest and truthful manner, we need not be ashamed of our failures. Tomorrow we take our place in the world where we must either learn and work by ourselves or fail. Life is now our school; may it be as happy and rewarding an experience as our school years have been. Ron Friesen Valedictorian ^ardxtcll— The pupils and teachers of W.R. Myers High School were very distressed recently, to learn of Mr. Jepson's departure from Taber at the end of the present school term. In the two years that Mr. Jepson was with us, he advanced the status and well-being of pupils and teachers alike. His wise counsel, sound judgment, keen insight and delightful sense of humor instilled a sense of confidence and purpose in the entire school. Never was morale as high as during his principalship! Mr. Jepson came to us from Cold Lake, Alberta where he was vice-principal and principal for five years. He took most of his schooling in Manchester, England which accounts for most of his old world charm. He is quite fluent in French and Spanish among many other personal accomplishments. It is with a sincere sense of loss that we wish Mr. and Mrs. Jepson happiness and success in the former's new position as Superintendent with the Department of Education.

It is entirely appropriate for this is what we are building at Myers in the field of musical drama - a strong tradition. It is indicative of our growth that just three or four years ago this play would have been beyond our grasp in terms of its emotional depth and overall difficulty. Let us not delude ourselves and say that it came easy this year - it most certainly did not - but what made the difference was that we had a cast more expereinced and more able than any in previous years. Mention must be made of the heroic efforts put out by Frank Sudol and Ronalee Bennett. Together they were the props around which the other characters revolved. Financially, the project was a success grossing approximately $1800. This money helps to finance future productions, stage renovations , and drama scholarships. We have established a cycle of success, both financial and artistic, and so long as we keep the interest of Myer's students in these endeavors, the future looks bright. Malcolm V.

The annual publication of the students of W. R. Myers High School Taber, Alberta. (Volume 1971-1972)pdfW.R. MYERS HIGH SCHOOL 5511-54 Street Taber, Alberta TIG 1L5 Phone: 223-2292 umliaeKHfiHtftMHiWJSHnnstsatiHHimiMUMHSAiwoGHBOHMRnnHioiKianQnEinMnciuuEniMi TABER, ALBERTA 760 1 SHEILA REDEL 1971 Ryan Grigor 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. D. V.

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.

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!

DA WN PRESENTS OUR STAFF 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. Sincerely J. L. George, B. Ed.

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! Frank Semaka GRADS ’70 MISTRESS OF CEREMONIES REVA PLATT GUEST SPEAKER HON.

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. Rell G.

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Congratulations to the Yearbook editor and her committee for the effort made to bring another edition of the Yearbook to fruition. Too often, only the members of the committee realize the hours of work that are essential to the production of a yearbook. The remainder of the student body too often take the yearbook for granted. I would like to give some recognition to the unsung heroes on the Yearbook committee. Preserved here between the covers of this book is the history of a year at W. R. Myers School. Besides the pictures of the individual students, the yearbook tells the story of our academic, athletic and cultural accomplishments. It is a treasure well worth preserving. At this time, no one needs to be reminded that 1967 is Canada's Centennial Year. The communications media blat the message at us from every angle. Our town has good reason to take pride in the establishment of the Confederation Park in whose centre stands the flag pole which the Myers students had erected. We should take pride, not only in our local accomplishments, but also those of a national nature. In one hundred years our nation has made phenomenal progress. Each one of us has an obligation to learn the history and development of our heritage and we have a responsibility as citizens to make our contribution to the nations on-going progress. May I take this opportunity, on behalf of all the staff, to offer congratulations to the members of the graduating class and our best wishes for your continued success in whatever line of work you may choose.

Do you remember that first day at school? Your mother took you by the hand, led you into a room full of pictures and scrubbed faces, and - told you that you were a "big girl now” and then left you. Looking across the aisle you could see another "big girl now. " The tears were rolling down her cheeks so you didn't have to feel bad about the quiver in your bottom lip. After those first days things improved. Parties, Christmas pageants, school festivals and a generous sprinkling of knowledge throughout the elementary grades, all helped to expand our little minds. Back in those days we loved our teachers and hated the opposite sex. In grade seven, students from L. T. Westlake, Dr. Hammon, and Central School congregated at Myers to begin their Junior High years. Through some mysterious change in nature we now fell in love with the opposite sex and took our hate out on the teachers. Grade nine marked the first real testing point that began to shape our High School years and our futures as adults; that of Departmental Examinations. It was alarming to realize that our High School years depended so much on how well we did on those exams. Upon entering Grade ten we found that "aliens" from Barnwell had invaded; and after being fondly welcomed into Myers School at Initiation, we began our High School Years. Happiness, sadness, fright, boredom, excitement, depression - every possible feeling has been experienced by a student in High School. And now, with mixed feelings, we have reached our graduation. It is nice to recall the past, but at this time we are also looking with promise to the future. I would like to leave you with the thought from our banquet place cards: You have all been given a bag of tools, A formless rock and a book of rules. And each must make ere life has flown- A stumbling block or a stepping stone. We, the graduates of 1967, would like to thank our parents and teachers for helping to turn our school years from stumbling blocks into stepping stones. VICKI WEST•• Brenda Braun Don Crawford Rae Enna an Ken Ito Terry Holman Ross Kunimoto Susan Leroy Diane Putici Bob Omotani Nola mith Dwaine Turnbull VALEDICTORY l onight marks the accomplishment of life’s first major goal. We graduands have proven that we were capable of accepting the many responsibilities and challenges that we have been confronted with during our years of schooling. At times we encountered embarrassing moments and failures, but we succeeded in overcoming our difficulties until now we have finally accomplished our first major achievement. Much credit, however, belongs to those adults who did so much to help us on our way. First of all, sincere thanks to our parents, who with their understanding, have guided us so well in the past and will continue to do so in the future. We are also grateful to our dedicated and patient teachers for their major part in our achievement. We must not forget our classmates for the fellowship and fun they brought into our lives. The real credit belongs in part to every person who has had some bearing on our lives. Everybody has influenced us in some way and it has been a combination of these influences that has helped to produce the high ideals present in our 1967 graduation class. .Although it seems that we have learned a vast amount, we have but just touched upon an endless storehouse of knowledge. We have much more to learn and try as we might, we can never stop learning. Still, we can justly say that we have received a firm foundation which will support us in our future endeavors. Our learning has not been just formulas and facts but consists of more important subjects. We have learned co-operation, the social graces, gratitude, respect, patience, citizenship, and honesty. But most important we have learned to get along with our fellow students, an accomplishment that is extremely important in our modern society. To us school has been much more than just a building; it has given us much, and we will be sad to leave it. The memories we have of our adolescent years will remain with us forever. Probably our fondest memories are those of our gay, carefree experiences that we shared with our classmates while in pursuit of our studies. Never again will we experience such fellowship, for soon this period of our lives will come to a close. We must accept this fate and prepare ourselves to face the future with dignity. Just as tonight marks an important milestone in our lives, this year marks an even greater milestone in the history of our country. Canada has survived her first one hundred years to become a healthy, growing nation. Similarly, we have grown and matured to our present state where we now stand on the brink of adulthood. What the next years will bring to ourselves and to our country depends upon us and the other members of our generation. In time, the responsibility of leading our communities and our country will fall upon us. We must face our duty and do our part to help determine our destiny for the good of mankind. It has been written that life is like a game of chess where there are an almost infinite number of complex moves possible. The choice is yours to make whatever move you wish, but you must keep in mind the consequences of each move. A poor move may cost the game, while a strong move will provide a basis for further development. So it is in our lives. Thus far, we have just begun our game. We all have made some foolish mistakes, but they have not been serious. It is from this time forth that we must begin to make our more important moves. The steps we take in the next few years will determine the course of our lives. The future lies ahead. Your life is yours to do with as you please. It is my sincere hope that whatever you do with your life will bring happiness and pride, not only to yourself, but also to your fellow man. ROD ADACHICLASS PROPHECY Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is Murray DePoe and Earle Cameron Wright reporting to you from the Metropolis of Taber, the site of EXPO '17 for CBC TV. Yes, it is the 2017 and the 150th anniversary of the confederation of our nation. To commemorate this gala occasion, we felt that it would be appropriate to go back in time to the year 1967, Canada's 100th anniversary, to the graduating class of the first high school in Taber. We have done this and traced the lives of all the graduates up to this day. This is what we have found: 1. GORDON SAUNDERS - a great trapeze artist gone trend setter when he reintroduced the "leotard" craze. 2, BRENDA BRAUN - sewed her way to success with the Stanfields people. 3. ROD ADACHI - used his advanced mathematics degree to successfully operate Mad Rodney's Swap Shop. 4. TERRY EVAN SON - is an unfortunate case who died of a broken heart when the circulation of paperback westerns died. 5. Two of our noted female athletes, BARBARA EVANSON and JANICE JESPERSON represented Canada at the Pan-American games. Both were unsuccessful, however. Barb lost out in the teacup juggling competitions and Janice in needle threading. Not too clumsy! 6. TERRY BROWNING - became one of the world's multimillionaires when he cashed in on his lifetime's accumulation of 91, 206, 834 Pilsner empties. 7. FEROCIOUS FRED MEYER AND ROBBY "THE ROCK" CONRAD - became the terrifying ringleaders of Hell's Angels: Taber branch. 8. KEITH ANDERSON - was worried about his hair going thin... but then who wants fat hair? 9. Miss MARG URANO - left us in 1976 when beset by one of her more serious giggling attacks. 10. CHRIS LARSON - became a lady wrestler in 1977 and gained world fame by talking her opponents into submission. 11. PAT FONG - shattered Louis Cyr's all-time weight lifting record by hefting 2 1/2 tons of Heinz's 57 varieties in promotion of the Big T. 12.
