    The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with R. Bruce Porter. After a few years of college at the University of Southern California, Porter joined the Marines as an aviation cadet. After training on the F4F, Porter was assigned to Squadron 111 and shipped out on the USS Garfield to American Samoa. Porter mentions training with and talking with Joe Foss when his squadron passed through Apia. Porter then went to Turtle Bay, New Caledonia. He next flew F4F's in Guadalcanal in 1943. Their squadron then switched to the Corsair plane. Porter then started moving ""up the slot"" toward Japan gradually moving north with his squadron. Later, Porter returned to the states to train on F6F's and joined a night fighter squadron. He was assigned as a squadron commander in Okinawa. He discusses blowing up a plane with a ""baka"" bomb on it. Porter's record is an ace, with five official kills and one probable. Porter witnessed the surrender party preparing for the official surrender. He stayed in Japan for four months after the occupation

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. fldnwui/u^ School 'j&omcI BACK ROW: Mr. J. B. Percevault - superintendent, Mr. L. Wright, Mr. H. Anderson, Mr. T.

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. J. L. George Principal Mrs. J. Allen Miss H.

Wood Qi^-^wj^^i, Wum^ 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! James M.

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.

    Enforcing Grammatical Restrictiveness Can Help Resolve Structural Ambiguity

      This paper deals with the interaction between two problems that arise in human language learning, structural ambiguity and the subset problem. The main claim of this paper is that the notion of r-measure, already proposed as a measure of grammatical restrictiveness, can be used to deal with complexities in structural ambiguity that result from interactions with subset learning. The approach combines an algorithm for contending with structural ambiguity, the Inconsistency Detection Learner, with an algorithm for dealing with the subset problem, Biased Constraint Demotion. Biased Constraint Demotion is designed to find, for a set of data, the grammar with the best r-measure, a measure of grammatical restrictiveness based upon a preference for markedness constraints dominating faithfulness constraints. The Inconsistency Detection Learner component tries different combinations of interpretations of structurally ambiguous forms, keeping only those combinations that are consistent with at least one grammar. For each such combination of interpretations, Biased Constraint Demotion is used to find the most restrictive grammar consistent with the interpretations. The different grammars are then compared with respect to their r-measures, and the grammar with the best r-measure is chosen by the learner as the final learned grammar. Computer simulation results, running the algorithm on an example exhibiting interaction between structural ambiguity and the subset problem, are presented

O is ever onward? and onward we will go... M is what we all can achieve? a mature outlook on life...Dedication This term is one that Mr. Frank Semaka, our vice-principal, will always remember. He was honored this school year by a special day dedicated to him. This year also, he received the Centennial Medal in recognition of his dedication to the teaching profession. These honors, however, were long overdue. All Myer's students have long recog­nized his great contribution to education and their lives. Working through 25 graduations and hundreds of students is his greatest fame. But as well as these things, often most remembered are the small things which show the feelings and energies that his pupils can acknowledge. What other teacher could handle detention duties for as long a duration with the only complaint of the large number of students who perhaps sometimes fail to appear? Who else could liven up the lecture with an occasional story, or an explanation of poker or a sour joke? No student who has ever had the experience of being in any of his classes can ever forget his style, personality, and wit. The little recognition-little in the light of his achievements and contributions-that Mr. Semaka has received-will always be foremost in his memories. But may he always delight in the memories of his many students and have the satis­faction of knowing that, although we do not often show it, we are truly grateful to him for the tremendous influence he has had on our lives. It is with great sincerity that we say, "We're proud of you, Mr. Semaka. " Dawn ’68 Staff Acknowledgements The staff of Dawn '68 gratefully acknowledges the assistance and support of: Mr. Baldwin, our advisor, and the W. R. Myers faculty and staff; Mr. Geraghty's Period 5 English 20 class who eagerly sacrificed their English period to help out when a deadline had to be met; Mr. Brownbill, who patiently toted his camera literally up, down, and around the school for us; Mr. Lawson, Charles Enman, and the Photo Club for the many fine pictures which are an invaluable part of the year­book; the many anonymous students who, though not officially staff members, were always willing to give any assistance; and, all those who, in any way, have contributed to the Dawn '68.

Also: Linda Wall, Co-Layout; Gwenne Halma, Sec. ; Valeen Jensen, Art. Editorial 1 This year's edition of The Dawn is unlike any previous one in content and concept. The Dawn '68 has been an experiment, a challenging, exciting and satisfying experiment. In an effort to present more "action" we have tried to dispense with as many as possible of the traditional still group pictures and dull club reports often borrowed from previous years. In their place, we have experimented with new, varied group poses, unique layout techniques, more interesting copy ( reports ) and new materials. We are aware that not all of our revolutionary ideas will be approved of. However, it is our hope that those who are dissatisfied will support the next staff with their suggestions and assistance. Like any experiment, the Dawn '68 has required an extraordinary amount of time and tedious effort. A common comment among our staff, none of whom had had any previous ex­perience with the production of a yearbook, was, "I never realized there was so much work involved!" The yearbook is thus the efforts of many; my thanks are extended to all those responsible. It is when we view the actual published product, instead of a paraphernalia of assorted pictures, bits of typing, dummy pages, and layout mats, that our efforts become a worthwhile experience. Our experiment will be justified and deemed successful if the Dawn '68 gives you much to reminisce of this school year. Linda Fong ( Editor ) Taber Division School Board STANDING: M. Smith, H.

Administration - "The Top Three" These three gentlemen have been entrusted with the awesome task of guiding the education of the eight hundred not-so-studious pupils of Myers. Ful­filling their duties efficiently, they hold the respect of all. Thank you, Mr. George, Mr. Semaka, and Mr. Francis for your devoted, untiring efforts and for the interest shown in each one of us . . . you have truly added much to our memories of high school! Congratulations to Linda Fong and her committee for the long hours of work and planning that have resulted in this fine edition of '68 Dawn. A real effort has been made to make this yearbook unique. Preserved between its covers is the history of a year at Myers School. In addition to the pictures of all the students- the pictures of the activities ranging from initiation to graduation are a storehouse of memories. The publishing of this yearbook is truly a worthwhile venture. I would like to share with all the readers of this Yearbook a definition of education. Education is not a thing or a place; it is a process. Education is the process of producing a person who is publicly useful and privately happy. Education is not to be confused with attendance at school. Attendance may be necessary but it does not guarantee an education. Education is the spark of insight into a problem, it is the revealing of relationships between events, it is the appreciation of the struggle of minds that has provided us with the tremendous fund of knowledge that is now ours. Education is listening to the spoken word and reading the written word; it is taking the ideas of others, analyzing and sifting them, and coming up with a conclusion or generalization of one's own. Education is learning to accept responsibility for one's own actions whether that action be lack of preparation for an exam, or whether that action be hookey playing-both have consequences that are the responsibility of the doer. Education is probing the internal organs of a preserved frog, it is developing a skill of the basket­ball floor, it is polishing and refining an essay, it is making a painting come to life, it is struggling with a complex problem. Thus, education is a many faceted diamond, with each facet requiring the effort of the learner to polish it to brilliance. Education is obtained by those who work for it. I believe that the facilities, program and staff at Myers school are among the best to be found in Alberta. May I urge all who have the opportunity to take full advantage of the education available here. James L. George ( Principal ) into Tomorrows Mrs. M. Allen-P. E. Mr. R. Anderson-Sc. , Math Mr. A.

Since coming to Myers five years ago from Stirling, Tom had made many friends and had become well-known in Southern Alberta high school basketball circles as an All- Star. It is in his memory that we dedicate this page of Dawn '68 to Tom.

To be alive in such an age. With every year a lightning Page. Turned in the world's great wonder book. Whereas the learning nations look. When men speak strong for brotherhood; For peace and universal good. We are the product of the years which passed by fast and furious in a changing world following World War II, we were part of the twist, the Beatles, color television, jet propulsion, Canada's Centennial, the space era, the New Math, go-go dancers and the mini-skirt. Think of that glorious golden morning of September, 1956, Brave mothers of Dr. Hamman, Central, Barnwell, Kinniburgh, and the L. T. Westlake districts clasped the eager ones tightly by the hand as the little rascals skipped along, antici­pating the grand adventure of school. With scrubbed faces and toothless smiles, we took the first step toward the future which so hopefully belonged to us. It was a new and very different world. We entered timidly, because it was a world of faces we did not know. It was our secret fear that the teacher would expect us to read and write on the first day. We had shy fears of having to go to the bathroom and not wanting to ask. But after the first week, school was a place of laughter, scuffling feet, whispers, and old friends. Listening intently, we ventured through the magic doors of storylands. Then joy burst upon us as we began to understand, following directions, and thinking for ourselves. We rested our little heads on our desks and peeked, squirmed, and suppressed our giggles, for the minutes of rest seemed so endless. During elementary school, we blessed the relief of recess as we ran, jumped, and shouted after being subdued for over an hour. We remember the refresh­ing coolness of the drinking fountain water; the good smell of fresh air; and the freedom in games of baseball. We learned to accept criticism when we did something wrong. In 1962, we, of different schools met on a common stamping ground in Junior High. We were together--our country cousins of Kinniburgh, the sophisticated ones of Central, the intellectuals of Dr. Hamman, and the delinquents of L. T. Westlake who played a mean game of football, with the girls as the star quarterbacks. We were all enthusiastic, typical twelve year olds; bursting with energy, often noisy, very talka­tive, and almost immune to discipline. The halls were our domain. Our lockers were everybody’s lockers; our books belonged to anyone, and we were always in a mad scramble to get to class on time. I'm sure we all remember waving our green slips frantically as we brazenly entered the classroom late again. Detentions became an extracurricular activity where we met our pals at noon hour. Without a doubt, we were little monsters in Junior High. In Autumn, 1965, our happy, carefree school­days resumed. Barnwell cummuters became part of our happy crowd of teeny boppers. During our high school days, we became more serious as we realized our school demanded the price of discipline, hard work, and patience. Tonight, we fully appreciate to be alive in such an age. To Live to it! To Give to it! Valedictory Bruce Conrad "All who have meditated in the art of governing mankind have been con­vinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth. ” Those were the words of the ancient philosopher, Aristotle, commenting on the vital role of education in his time. In our time, the need for education is much greater. Our happiness, economic success, and well-being in the future depend on the extent of your education. Our technology today is expanding more rapidly than it has ever done before in the history of man. Many new books, especially those on scientific subjects, become out-dated within five to ten years from the time they are published. The use of automation is increasing. Computers speed up the hand­ling of business; run all sorts of establishments from airports to libraries; and are an indispensible aid to scientific research. They are also essential to national defence. The heart of the NORAD defence system is a giant computer which keeps tab on hundreds of flying objects simultaneously and warns of enemy attack. These remarkable devices are the products of the well-trained minds of the past. But many people are needed now, and many more will be needed in the future, just to keep our defense systems up to date. It is indeed true that the fate of impires depends on the education of the youth. We graduands have, for the past twelve years, been learning the facts which will enable us to take our place in the future. We have not been alone in this effort. Many teachers have laboured to give us the knowledge of past centuries. Facts which have been accumulating for hundreds of years are now our personal possessions thanks to their efforts. To our parents we also extend our personal gratitude. They have given us the rather firm encouragement that we have needed at times. Yes, our thanks go to all those who have so pains­takingly prepared us for success in the future; a future full of promise. We will be sorry to leave these familiar hallways and classrooms. They have been the scene of so many happy moments, and the backdrop for so many distressing problems. They will remain in our memories forever. Our high school preparation is now complete; we are ready to go our separate ways and face the great challenges that lie ahead. May we forge for­ward fearlessly and make our lives as successful and enjoyable as our high school days have been. The future and all it holds is waiting.

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. Important Dates in Churchill's Life 1874 (Nov. 30) Born in Oxfordshire, England. 1895 Graduated from Royal Military College. 1901 Entered House of Commons. 1908 (Sept. 12) Married Clementine Hozier. 1911 Appointed first lord of the admiralty. 1915 Resigned from the admiralty. 1939 Appointed first lord of the admiralty. 1940 Became prime minister of Great Britain. 1945 Became leader of the opposition. 1951 Became prime minister of Great Britain. 1953 Knighted.

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's easy to believe that the rich and famous are born well...rich and famous. Not so! On the way to being famous...Gwen Stefani worked at Dairy Queen, Madonna was fired from Dunkin' Donuts, Brad Pitt handed out flyers wearing a chicken suit for El Polio Loco, Rachel McAdams was a server at McDonald's and Beyonce was swept up hair in her mother's salon. There are jobs you will have before you 'make it' too. Some you will enjoy. And some - not so much. On my way to becoming a teacher I was a waiter, a landscaper, a tree planter, and a bartender. Some of these jobs I liked and some I hated. But ALL of these jobs brought me to the profession I love and shaped who I have become. At W.R. Myers High School we are proud of being a school where every student can find an avenue for success and in being part of a community where everyone in the Rebel family strives to find the best in themselves and others. As Christian Larson said, "Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle." Remember that you are the star of your own life and that, with hard work, your dreams will become reality! Take care, Ken Pon Principal Wow! What a year! I chose "REBEL RESILIENCE" as the yearbook theme this year as I thought it was rather fitting given our current 'COVID-1 9' situation. Some of you are already VERY RESILIENT, while others may feel like you are not. One thing is for sure - you can always WORK on becoming MORE resilient. Here are 10 ways you can work on becoming more resilient: Have the courage to be imperfect Take time for yourself Sign up for that course, join that club Be active every day in as many ways as you can Spend time with people who make you feel good Laugh out loud each day Invite your neighbor (friend) over for a cup of tea (chat) Do one thing now that you've been putting off Focus more on things you can control Remember, this too shall pass (~https://wayahead.org.au/get-the-facts/building-resilience/) Thank you to all those who gave me a big smile (or at least didn't run away) when I put the camera in front of your face! I apologize to those teams I missed getting photos of (that actually had the opportunity to play). Because this year is unlike any other, I also decided to change up the color scheme from the traditional red/black/yellow! I would love some feedback on this decision (love it/dislike it etc). A huge shout-out to a stellar group of grade 9's who helped me with the yearbook in June (Madisen and Bryden O'Connor, Kiernan Gyepesi, Will Evanson, Madison Reid, Heston Bevans and Allen Clements). Thank you specifically to Bryden O'Connor for creating the color graphic used throughout the yearbook. Some of the quotes found through out the yearbook were from the survey you filled out in the spring, which in, most cases, does not have the author information and therefore simply states the grade level the quote came from. All other quotes with Author Unknown" were found online and in most cases didn't have any author information either. In any case, my hope is that they will either put a smile on your face, make you go 'hmm' or possibly even take time to pause and reflect on the message being shared. Enjoy! 5 Abela, Abby Acosta, Aielle Baker, Jaryn Bevans, Heston Boyd-Foster, Ryu Brown, Keira Brown, Mackenzie Buchta, Jayce Camiros, Christian Camiros, Christian Clarkson, Lliam Clements, Allen Collier, Olivia Coon, Kason Damberger, Hunter De Haan, William Dearing, Tristen Dueck, Vickie Duell, Kade Ellingson, Liam Estremos, Gene Eusebio, Gracia Evanson, Will Farwell, Aiden Froese, Alan Geeraert, Maggie Guimond.

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.

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. TERRY BOSSERT - remained a (third-rate) grease monkey for M & R all his life. 13. HAL & ARTHUR BAREHAM Esqs. - became partners in the Florentine Charm Academy which hosted too much of the European Royality. 14. LOIS RAE ENMAN - the terror of Taber's streets, dominated the NASCAR Stock Car Racing scene till she collided with Pernelli Jones and piled up the little red V. W. 15. Enman's pit crew, LAURA SANTONI and head mechanic ESTER "TIRE WRENCH" THIESSEN - said the car was in great shape and could have gone all the way if the torus check valve hadn't over fluidized the reverse inhibitor causing the clutch cam roller to burn out the muffler bearings. (What?. . . scratch) 16. DONALD CRAWFORD - became the lawyer in demand when he sent Perry Mason and the Defenders to Alcatraz for parking violations. 17. Two of our boy graduands, MIKE VICKERY & JACK MIYADA - found fortune and fame to take their places beside the ageing Gordie Howe on Eaton's Advisory Council. Jack endorses ladies' shoe laces and things while Mike's specialty is bathroom fixtures.STAN WEISS - returned to Myers to coach the Globetrotters to a fantastic record of zero wins to 69 losses. 19. RICHARD JENSEN - studied at Olds Agricultural College and returned to Taber to grow vegetables for the cafeteria in Myers. 20. MARY ANN BUCK, SUSAN LEROY & LORRAINE LEROY - continued their great welfare work started in high school with their Saturday night mission meetings as the Celebrity Strippers in MIKE SULLIVAN'S southside beanery. Taber's little old ladies voted GREG PYNE - to be Driver of the Year for his courteous and excel­lent driving habits. GERALD RETI - won world acclaim for his speech to the U. N. General Assembly on measures of control regarding the population crisis in Barnwell. 23. MELVIN PETERSON & ROSS KUNIMOTO - became leading coiffures when they brought back the brush cut. 24. CORINA VAN EGTEREN - of the former surging Doublemint twins won the 1997 Oscar as Best Actress for her sparkling role in the controversial "Certs commercial". 25. HENNY VAN EGTEREN - was not to be outdone by her sister. She won the oscar as Best Support­ing Actress in that same film. To this day, Henny maintains..............that "Certs is a breath mint". 26. NOLA SMITH - improved the PILL so that it now relieves not only fever and headache but it also clears the sinus. 27. DENNIS EASTHOPE and DONNA KADONAGA - entered the entertainment world and have been acclaimed the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers of the 1990's. 28. Something that everyone could see from the start, DENNIS "THE BUTCHER" FENSKE - became the notorious gangster of the dirty nineties. Dennis and his evil accomplice CAROL AUSTIN, were finally apprehended by TOM "FEARLESS FOSDICK" FILGAS. 29. MARJ SMITH - due to her skill and courage gained from driving on Taber's freeways, became top test driver for General Motors. 30. KEN ITO - returned to Myers in 1995 to present Mr. Kowlessar with his third book report. 31. GLEN BELL - became assistant trophy polisher for the Boston Bruins. 32. MARILYN MAY - ran all the A & W's out of business when she spiked Sparky's cokes with a bit of rye. To no avail, however, when BETTY HORROCKS lost all the customers with her hamburgers... Ugh! 33. Being a Queen Scout, DALE GRANT continued in the scouting tradition until he was discharged when it was found that his daily good deed was the counterfeiting of green slips and selling them at a nominal fee. 34. RANDY SEITZ - entered the world of politics. In the year 2016 he completed the arduous task of becoming chief swamp beautification officer in Lower Slobovia. 35. CHARLAINE PERCEVALUT and MARILYN KAGA - decided to spend the rest of their lives in Myers High. After 49 years of back-breaking work, they produced the impossible: an issue of the "Myer's Messenger" that satisfied everyone. 36. JOE YEE - advanced his education to such a high degree that he could answer Mr. Pinkney with something a little more intelligent than "I don't know”. 37. HENRY YEE - used his university training to become a master cook of that international dish.... pizza. 38. TERRY HOLMAN - through her fine work, rose to the highest position in the Rockefeller Center... cleaning lady on the 81st floor. 39. CAROL SMITH and BARBARA OWEN - enjoyed the small-town life so they spent their time throw-ing sugar sacks at the sugar factory. 40. RUTH CONRAD - achieved her success in the recording industry by becoming the Mrs. Miller of the 1980's. 41. Unfortunately, DWAINE TURNBULL - faded into obscurity when he had to give up his job as head bus driver due to a pot belly. 42. ROBERT FETTIG - lost his sanity upon his return to his hometown Grassy Lake. He simply couldn't adapt to that life after his wild fling as a big city playboy in Taber. 43. ROBERT OMATANI - became what else but the CBC's new Friendly Giant. 44. The three Andersons - BRIAN, BARBARA, and HEATHER, and PHYLLIS NELSON - travelled to the posh gambling area of Las Vegas and opened up a Casino named after themselves - three of a kind and a joker. 45. BRIAN BRAUN - became the successful proprietor of Braun's Used Car Sales. No need to mention who his best customer was. 46. BONNIE COWIE - finally obtained her driver's license in 1981. Taber's citizens complained, however, because of the rise in mill rate to compensate for the loss in lamp posts, fire hydrants, boy scouts and their little old ladies. 47. DIANE PUTICI and LAURA LEWIS - our two Barnwell scatterbrains tried numerous fields of en­deavor but finally settled down in the good old beet field with 14 kids. 48. LINDA KEELING - our Expo hostess, lost her contact lenses in the Russian pavilion, pushed the wrong button and started World War III. 49. KATHLEEN WILDE, EDWIN WOOLLEY, AND VICKI WEST - formed the famous Hollywood trio that became the stars of the show the Wild and Wooly West. 50. GERRY JENSEN - that hardworking and brilliant student returned to teach at Taber and became the Frank Semaka of the 1990's. 51. MARILYN CHRISTIE - entered the Rodeo circuit as a steer wrestler but gave it up when a steer pinned her down with a full nelson. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is 74 of the 76 graduands of old Myers High of Taber. You may ask what has become of the other 2, and you may have guessed that they are DePoe and myself.

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.

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.

ADMINISTRATION Rell Francis Vice-Principal Frank Semaka Vice-Principal 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. James I. George, B.Ed., Principal FACULTY J.C.

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! F.

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. R.G.
