The "if–then–else" construction is one of the most elementary programming commands, and its abstract laws have been widely studied, starting with McCarthy. Possibly, the most obvious extension of this is to include the operation of composition of programs, which gives a semigroup of functions (total, partial, or possibly general binary relations) that can be recombined using if–then–else. We show that this particular extension admits no finite complete axiomatization and instead focus on the case where composition of functions with predicates is also allowed (and we argue there is good reason to take this approach). In the case of total functions — modeling halting programs — we give a complete axiomatization for the theory in terms of a finite system of equations. We obtain a similar result when an operation of equality test and/or fixed point test is included

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.

The Minister's Youth Council consists of 40 junior and senior high school students (in Alberta) all of which have many diverse interests, perspectives, and backgrounds. Students get the opportunity to share their perspectives on many different topics in education. Over the last couple of years students on this council have worked with the Alberta Government Education Department, MLA's, industry professionals, teachers and school boards to help better education in out province. Specifically, these students helped inform a vaping policy from Edmonton Public Schools, assisted in the creation of Bill 1 9 which aims to reduce vaping use in Alberta and helped shape the Ministerial Order on Student Learning. ^ef Keira1' created all of these masterpieces during 'Round 1' of Covid shutdown.

W the wealth of knowledge we have obtained... N is for the novices that we no longer are... O is for the many opportunities we have had... F is for foundations of our future firmly laid... W is willingness to strive always for improvement... I is insperation that keeps us ever trying... S is for success that comes to those who earn it... D is the desire to develop understanding... 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. MAY YOU BE PROUD OF YOUR EFFORTS ! Executive: Phillip Peterson, Adv. Man. ; Terry Holman, Bus. Man. ; Susan Hattori, Asst. Ed. ; Linda Fong, Ed. ; Brenda Donick, Asst. Ed. ; Burton Conrad, Layout. 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.

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.

Santoni Industrial Material Centre Workers Library Assistants In Memoriam On June 8, 1968, the W.R. Myers School was saddened by the sudden death of Tom Nelson, a popular sport's enthusiast. 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.

P. K. Page This page sponsored by: W. T. AVIATION SERVICES LTD. "For all you aviation needs." "Tradition - tradition" is the opening song of this famous musical. 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.

Top Right: Renae leaves the Bio room with a whole new lookout on life. LOOK WHO’S 666666€ My most embarrassing moment in Grade 9 was when 1 got to go skiing for the first time. I snapped into my skis and started going backwards, and I couldn’t stop. 1 ran into the ski instructor and fell over. La Wanda Eldridge In grade nine, my most embarrassing moment was tripping up the stairs. Aaron Sharpe The scarriest thing about Grade 9, for me, were the bathrooms. Ben Walton For me, the scarriest thing about Grade 9 was, trying to cross the street at lunch time. Carma Harding If I could go back to one grade it would be Grade 9 so I could try harder to get my advanced diploma, and play Bantam hockey again. Eric Zilinski If I could go back to one grade it would be Grade 6 because we ate Chinese food and banana splits at the end of the year. Rob Smith Middle: Burns contemplates his phenominal cosmic power. Bottom: Jeff, one of the many three eyed bio students. ... To the Future at what grade 12 will be like. Top Left: Ryan is being a very studious student. Top Right: Jamie has mastered the art of the card catalog in the library. LOOK WHO'S By Grade 12 I hope that classes wil be more interesting so that I will want to learn. Amy Jensen I hope there is a hockey rink in this school by the time I’m in Grade 12. Geoff Gawne Now that I am in high school, I feel more mature and more grown up. Travis Miller Being in high school is a lot easier then I thought it would be; however, when we are bad we are classified as still being in junior high and when we are good, we are in senior high. Lani Thiessen The thing I admire about the grade twelves is that they can drive to school. Maren Wood The thing I most admire about the grade twelves is that they actually made it there. So, it is possible. Kristi Grant Middle: Star is trying hard to look like she is wording diligently. Kevin is waiting anxiously to check out the new library releases!. Top Left: Is that you behind all that gum, Miss Miller? Top Center: The Grade 10’s and another one of their weird hobbies. Middle Left: Our fearless leader demonstrates what happens to students who skip classes. Middle: Kim catches a ride with Craig “Evil Kneivel” Hillman Bottom: Kevin once again, tooting his own horn. Page Five Top Left: “Smokin” Joe Thompson shows the students the latest dance moves. Top Right: Shane proving to us that you can fit a pillow in your mouth. Middle: Brooke having a terrible time with an itchy leg Bottom: Yuck! Blow your nose, Brent! 4 LOOK WHO’S 666666€ If you could plan a pep rally, what would you do and why? - “A mechanical bull because it would be enjoyable”, Marty Eckland - “A great big kegger with exotic dancers”, Mitch Barany - “Have a great big party where everyone has to get involved” Jason Kinkley - “Give cash to whoever can drink a slurpee the fastest” Wes Patterson - “Mix up the grades and do partner stufF’ Shannon Love - “Make them longer” Stacey Gammon 5 Right Back at You!

My biggest excuse for not having my homework done is . . . “I am just dumb.” - Jeff Marsh The water fountain that is the coldest and has the best taste is . . . “The one at the Royal.” - Mitch Barany During your spares, what do you do and where do you go? “What’s a spare?” - Ryan Oliver My biggest excuse for not having my homework done is . . . “Why should I do homework? I’m already smart.” - Jerry Swap Top: Missy and Lisa enjoying jawbreakers. Bottom Left: Angie going over her wonderful sche­dule. Bottom Right: Jennifer and Julie getting creative in the foods room.

Middle Right: Ryan escapes from jail just to go to the dance, but he over looked one small detail; the police were already there! Bottom Right: Bob thinks that it’s great that Kristi and Tonya are wil­ling to pay so much attention to him, after all children are known for their short attention spans! s ww Top Left: It’s nice to see them so relaxed. Top Right: Wendy and Jennifer try to look as though they don’t know the camera is on them. Middle Left: Caryanne smiling pretty for the camera! LOOK WHO’S 66666S6 “I once tried to mosh at a dance, instead of moshing I tripped Kim Hart and then fell on her!” - Michelle Sugden “My most embarrassing moment at a dance was when I fell off the bleachers!” - Craig Pollock “I only went to one dance, but the one that I did go to I got Matt Fenske’s hair dye all over my shirt from the mosh.” - Jerry Swap “I think country music is really annoying at dances.” - Jodie Pyne “I hate it when everyone come to the dances at ten or eleven o’clock.” - Dana Carlsen “My pet peeve about dances is when you take your shoes off and then step in someone’s gum, or else their spit!” - Jackie Harris “It’s gross going to a dance when everyone’s drunk.” - Sha­ron Francis “I think that the best music for dancing are the slow songs because you can really get to know someone when dancing to them.” - Paul Carlin “I think techno/dance music has the best beat for dancing.” - Derrick Jensen “I really don’t have a favourite kind of music, but if it’s got a good beat I’ll dance to it!” - Stacey Renner “Heavy metal music gets you really hyper at dances.” - To­nya Francis “Hard rock is the best to dance to because you don’t have to dance a specific way. Whatever goes.” - Rebecca Jensen 10 O LOOK WHO'S 666666^ The first words are always the best part of being a baby. Trevor Pollock said that his first word was “Bad”, Brad Kercher must have really liked chocolate because that was also his first word. Kids always have their days when they are impatient; Danny DeBona’s first words where “I want”. Memories of your childhood may be good or bad; for example, Brad Zaiser got bit by a goose, Brianna L. cut all her brother’s hair off, and Brian Peters pulled | the fire alarm at Canadian Tire. When you think back to your im­mature days, you can’t understand why you choose the toys you did. Lachelle Layton’s favorite toy was My Little Pony, Jerry Swap Loved his G.I. Joe’s, and a green Tonka truck was Eric Zilinski’s favorite toy. Look What’s Happening Page 12 Clockwise from Top Left: Sherman Williams crashes on the couch.

It's with a feeling of considerable loss that W. R. Myers High School learned of the departure of our esteemed principal, Mr. A. D. Selinger. He has accepted a position as co-ordinator of secondary education with Jasper Place School District No. 45. Mr. Selinger has been principal of the secondary school in Taber for the past six years, during which time the school has undergone a large physical development and the number of students enrolled and teachers have doubled. As an active influence in education in Southern Alberta, Mr. Selinger has held the positions of president, vice-president and councillor of the Taber Local, Alberta Teachers' Associations, president and vice-president of the South-West Alberta Teachers' Associations, first director of the Southern Alberta Inspectorate Area co-operative Testing Program, chairman of the Taber Economic Policy Committee and negotiating sub-committee. He is also a member of the Council on School Administration and has been elected a member of the Canadian College of Teachers. We, the pupils and teachers of Myers High wish Mr. Selinger happiness and success in his new venture. W.R.

Roberton Secretary Treasurer TABER SCHOOL DIVISON NO. 6 Mr. R. Evanson Mr. A. D. Selinger PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE We live, as each generation probably has and will, in an exciting era. Massive advances are taking place in every field of human endeavour, including both the physical and social sciences. To prepare our place in this burgeoning society will take a great deal of planning and study on the part of each individual. We must pin down the areas in which our interests lie and then objectively assess our abilities. Are our interests compatible with our abilities? We must be realistic but at the same time not overly shy about shooting at a high goal. In our pre-employment training we must carefully select the correct subjects. To ensure a proper selection we should consult with all the resources available to us -- the home, industry, the churches and the school. The alternative to carefully choosing a vocation is wasteful experimentation. Jumping from one job to another without proper training is no substitute for fruitful planning and preparation. Life is too short and time too precious to allow for such wastage. Young people today are in an extremely fortunate position. Literally millions of dollars, along with vast human energies, are being poured into the provisions of new and additional educational and training facilities; facilities such as vocational and technical institutes. Junior and community colleges, private schools, apprenticeship training and so forth. The people who will be trained in these institutions will be the people you will have to compete with for jobs and in our society. Don't be caught short --be farsighted, plan and think ahead and work energetically toward the realistic goal which you set for yourself. And one thought on what type of a person you should strive to be. A famous philosopher, Kant, once said something to the effect that we should never use another human being as a means to an end, but should treat each human being as an end in himself. This is, of course, but a restatement of the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would be done unto. Respect the innate dignity possessed by each human regardless of his differences to you of age, race, creed or beliefs. If you wield authority, and most of us do or will, wield it wisely to achieve an aim, not merely for self-satisfaction or to prove yourself, better than another. Do not be hasty in judgments; think before you act. Sincerely attempt to follow the above briefly outlined precepts and you cannot fail to be a success as a human being and to achieve tranquility and peace of mind. Mr. P.J. Atherton M. Birk Mr. S.

VALEDICTORY Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Parents, Teachers, and Fellow Students: It has been said that life is a long and arduous sea-voyage, cruel and trying at times, but rewarding at others. Each little craft strives to overcome the treacheries of the voyage, its soul refusing to die. Crashing waves, unexpected fogs, and lurking reefs confront them, but they refuse to bow to the sea. As they reach their destinations, the anxiety and grief of the journey is all but forgotten, with only the glory of the moment remaining. We are like these boats, plowing the restless sea. Both the bitterness of failure and sweetness of success have not shaken us from the course, only conditioning us for the problems what lie ahead. Many doubts arose in our minds that we would not complete this venture, but even in our trying moments we kept our flames of hope and determination burning. In the process we developed honesty, perseverance, good citizenship, and, above all, the readiness to help others in need. Our deepest gratitude goes to those who piloted us across the rough sea. To the teachers we give our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for their patience and unceasing effort in leading us down new avenues of knowledge and in opening our eyes to the realities of life. To the parents our esteemed love for the sacrifices they have made in our behalf, comforting us in times of stress. We can never repay them for their understanding and for the help they unselfishly gave us whenever we needed it. Now as we have reached our harbour, the safety of the first port, our eyes turn to the voyages ahead. Undoubtedly, we will encounter many more terrifying storms that will tax our ingenuity and courage to the utmost. All we can do is strive to keep our faith and hope. At these times, the knowledge and endurance we acquired during the past twelve years, will help us bridge these crises. When we make our exit, whatever our destination, let us remember this night as a solemn highlight, a time when we take the helm in our search for integrity and honour. And as we face the future, confident and with heads held high, we are bouyed up with the knowledge and discipline of the past and with the strength of our parents and friends so that we seek out the future, as a poet said, "strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield." CLASS HISTORY Mr. Chairman, honoured guests, respected teachers, and fellow graduands, it is my privilege to present to you the history of this exalted and immortal class. My job is to bring back memories of what is past. We, the graduands, are like mountaineers; still climbing, the past is hazy and the summit is cloudy, only the present seems real. To summarize the history of this class I suppose that the best place to start would be the beginning — Grade one. For many of us this beginning was in the dormitory, at which place the first two years of our formal education took place. Here we made many new friends and developed a changed outlook on life. In Grade three there was another change when we were shipped over to the Central School for a year. Grade Four founds us in a new school, the Dr. Hamman. We spent three years in this school and upon leaving at the end of Grade Six it was apparent that the school was no longer new. Grade Seven found us back in Central with many major changes. Our numbers were augmented by the Southside Class, but were radically decreased by the opening of St. Mary's School. Also in Grade Seven we began to take a greater part in this democracy of ours by participation in student government. Then we came to glorious old T. H. S. in grade nine. Here we faced initiation and departmentals. Somehow we managed to survive the onslaught of both of these, but I'm afraid T. H. S. didn't survive us because the next year the name was changed to W. R. Myers High School. Upon reaching Grade Ten we were somewhat surprised to see many new faces -- students from Taber’s westerly suburb -- Barnwell. Most of us managed to somehow struggle through grades ten and eleven, and on to twelve. For many of us this will be the final year of schooling, for others a few more years at University or other training institutions loom ahead. Whatever we do let us hope we will make the best of our education. Our parents and teachers have struggled long hours to get us this far. We owe it to them as well as to ourselves to achieve greater things than we have been doing; as Mr. Semaka constantly reminds us. Now we have reached Grade Twelve, we find we have developed from unsure kids in Grade One to the outspoken intellectual giants we are today. We must be in possession of vast intelligence or how else could we strike our teachers speechless by our answers, and inspire such profound remarks of wisdom from Mr. Semaka about us. In approximately a month we will say good-bye to M. H. S. forever. Although we shall soon be leaving we will never forget the glorious days at school. We shall reserve a special place in our hearts for these memories, to look back upon them as we travel along the pathway of life. CLASS PROPHECY by LINDA LITCHFIELD In nineteen-hundred and ninety three Somebody soared from the galaxy To see what's beyond this earth of ours An just what inhabits the millions of stars. With BOB as captain the ship to steer Safe -driving he must practice here While in and out through the planetoids He pilots well and disaster avoids. RICK ANDERSON'S there right at his side He went along just for a ride To get away's why he did roam From nagging wife and ten kids back home. And a rev. they must take along So along went DOUGLAS ANDERSON. And a psychiatrist they needed too So DEAN went to see what he could do To help the Marians find some solutions And convince them that humans weren't confusion EVELYN CRADDUCK, a woman so fair Went along their meals to prepare Home Ec., in college she studied for years An preparing their meals gave her no fears. PAUL BOSE went along too, to plot the course Check the wind drift, but to their remorse Paul just couldn't keep the records straight So they went in circles and left much to debate. While back on earth the grads did grand MASSEY AND CAROL formed a band With Carol on piano and Massey on guitar They made good music but did not go far So they gathered some players from everywhere And started to play an original air While playing at Carnegie Hall out at Cranford This music, the building just wouldn't stand for It started to shake and began to collapse And that was the end of the great tune, perhaps. WAYNE had his head in the clouds all the time So decided to keep it there as a pastime A parachute jumper WAYNE SHEUERMAN became And practiced till he gained increasing fame. And before everyone of the jumps that he's made He'd gather some bets on just how long he'd take. RON JOHNSON, a famous actor became He loved playing in Shakespeare But they were too tame So he played Dr. Zorba To increase his fame. Nurse PUTICI did travel afar With her doctoring husband They sent to Central Africa To study native customs. KAY SHIMBASHI studied pharmacy Blew up the lab trying to cure pleurisy So Kay decided a secretary to be This occupation suits her more fittingly. DIANNE ODLAND set out on a horse To cross the Canadian expanse She said she would do it in 96 hours She did, just because of romance Her boyfriend was leaving in 100 hours From Halifax, headed to France. SANDRA ANDERSON became the leader Of U. of A's cheering squad But producers saw her and liked her voice And put her in movies instead She'd beg for a new role She’d rant and she'd rave But the same as before As town crier she stayed. ALAN and MENO joined the forces Protecting our country and its resourses Them in the airforce, Khrushchev feels safe They're manning bombers-that's our relief. In Nineteen hundred and ninety-six No one shed even a tear ROY ENDO was crowned in Toronto As bachelor of the year. Now at the turn of this great century JIM DICK finally got his doctors degree Specializing in surgery. CHARLES AVERY ran the Taber Times And printed all the news And now he works for the Income Tax Cause he wouldn't pay his dues. GARY FENSKE made such eloquent speeches While campaigning to be an MP; It wasn't only the speeches that led him To represent Barnwell constituency. DEANNA FRIESEN went in for a nurse But an actress she wanted to be She had her big break When she went for a take As an assistant to Dr. Ben Casey. MAX GOODFELLOW was also a star His good looks made him go far Once the public had heard him As a singer they spurned him For his vocal chords sounded ajar. Because she's concerned for mankind MARILYNE SMITH made a sensational find A hairtonic which grooms-as it shampoos Rid of dandruff and don't smell like boose. FRANK TACJNAR emerged a biology student In this field he was especially prudent If woman could dye their hair ye Iler Then cilia on amoeba too could take color. As a barber RON CONRAD was a sensation In time as result of his first occupation He concluded that if he forsook this ambition He would make money as a mortician. Now SUSIE'S collecting live octupi So necessary in her job of detection Her large octupus stands constantly byTo give her overwhelming protection. SID HALMA donned hat and gun Went into the jungle to get Just one of those little pink elephants We're hearing about even yet Interior decorating became the lifework Of one grad named MARGARET SCHAN Her first creations were just repeats But with shells and barnacles A stuffed fish or two Demand for early acquarium Now is not new. Through stop signs and all red lights And traffic jams in dead of night, A woman taxi driver in old Manhattan Half of the city DONNA G did flatten. ANDY KONNO in his commonplace moods Decided that people should fly Made some wings and attached a propellor And soared several feet in the sky But all that goes up must always come down And Andy came to by and by. Distinction-Just what JOAN J wanted For professionals she held high respect So off to school then back she came First woman welder you can detect. In Paris with fashion, working all day KEITH PETERSON was a noted coiffeur All at once he stopped working Began frantically searching His contact lenses-in someones poofed hair. LUCY took up track and field as a pro New records in racing her classes showed First she'd start the boys racing Girls begin after five minute spacing She advanced new ideas on a traditional theme Trying to keep boys ahead at full steam. To university JANET PETERSON went A waste of money and energy spent Her hopes were settled in Carnegie Hall But openings there were none at all As defeat set in, music, was ready to drop Hark on TV-Janet's snap, crackle and pop Little TOM TSUJI took up growing rice But instead made his fortune Raising pet mice. ISOLDE to the corps of policewoman went There spent some time doing content Till HUGO in stylish police uniform clad Met her in Toronto and my were they glad Togetherness now they work as they can Her motto as his-they'll both get their man. CAROLYN EVANSON LIKED New York Yanks It seems for one player her heart did pine She's waiting and watching her manager claims Till Devon T signs on the same dotted VALENTINA and JOYCE made quite a team Together they patented a new freckle cream That Valentina concocted from ideas big Joyce volunteered as her guinea pig. After hitch-hiking to Waterton Keith Harding thinks he'll go anywhere Says hitch-hikings full of thrills And shoe leather's the only fare His next big adventure I hear Is coming up very soon Just look up in the midnight sky See him hitching a ride to the moon. After leaving school RUBY INGRAM married To Hollywood by her husband was carried They hit it lucky and made lots of dough Starring as Granny on the Hillbilly show LARRY KRAHN is getting on At many careers he'd made a start And so he spent his last few years In the culinary art. DONNA CHRISTENSEN and MARTIN VANDERWAL Have some fortune and fame Through the Olympics-in the ice-skating game. As of this building JEAN MACHIDA did circumspect spurredher ambitions to be an architect. With Mary Neilson's dress shop GORDON couldn't do finer He has DIANA TVERKUTES As his top dress designer. DON MILLER said Dentistry is my call I think along with it I'll try football. If I get them to knock the teeth out of their face I'm sure they consider stopping in at my place. GAYLE JENSEN, head of the AAA For the good of his cause we continually pray An association Geyle set up all alone To help poor creatures not desired at home And if this gay group you wish to phone As Amateur Astronomers they're commonly known. Instead of Bill's to take in her arms She switching to bills that have more charms. What do I mean by the words of this curse Ones she carries with her in her purse. Since swimming the lakes, JEAN BURGE With her talents decided she might as well be First to swim the Mediterranean Sea.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The annual publication of the students of W. R. Myers High School Taber, Alberta. (Volume 2017-2018)pdfEvery year W. R Myers, D.A. Ferguson, and Central Elementary School hold a TriSchool BBQ every September. It is a great opportunity for students, parents and teachers to mingle, get to know each other, and have some food and fun! Terry ^>c Every year the students of W.R. Myers walk around the track to honor Terry Fox and his courageous battle with cancer. To date, the Terry Fox Foundation has raised over 750 million for cancer research. S^Da^ Orange Shirt Day is a day recognized across Canada to remember the trauma Indigenous people faced in the residential school system, and to promote reconciliation. The orange shirt reminds us that every child matters and no child is forgotten. Olssmv \Ne will not soon forget the incredible presentation from Eva Olson. Her story of survival through the horrors of the Holocaust was spellbinding and inspirational. Mrs. Olsen told her story to the student body, recounting some of the horrors of the atrocities carried out under the fascist rule in Germany, Austria, and Hungary. Her resilience shone through as she explained the struggles of being seen as less than human. She encouraged to consider her story as a message against the power of bullies in the world around us and proclamation of truth about everyone's intrinsic self-worth. A woman well into her 90s, Eva spoke and showed photos of her experience which put into perspective the relative comfort and freedom that we all live with today. To say that Mrs. Olson's presentation was transformative would be to underestimate its power in the life of our student body. Our gratitude is extended to Eva for this wonderful presentation. - Dale Friesen Welcome to W.R. Myers High 4 School!! f\s W.R. Myers is a small high school with a big heart.

Defensive coach Jason Jensen had to say: On defence, we picked up right where we left off from last year. We managed three shutouts, and shut down some pretty high powered offences. Through it all, there were a few new faces that were asked to step up, and fill some pretty big shoes left by graduating seniors, and they did so admirably. Really, this unit was definitely one of the best our program has ever had. tball We have amazing students at Myers, and our an^ja Awards Night is a celebration of their many achievements. Each year, we recognize many different accomplishments. We acknowledge those students who achieved Honor Roll.

When things were going well I think we played as well as any team In the league, and probably should have finished higher than we did. Although we had a group of amazing and talented players, we did not necessarily have the right amount of position players. This, along with numerous injuries, resulted in girls playing out of the position, that they had been playing for years before, for most of the season. This may have affected the over all record, but for me it was incredible how these girls took on this challenge. They never complained once and it amazed me how they rose to this task. No matter where they were asked to play, they played at an extremely high level. They should all be very proud of the effort they put in this yearl - Coach Meier Meler(#5), Adrien Addy(#7), Makayla Chapple(#8), Austen Robbins(#9), Kitawna Sparks(#10), Calista Haynes(#l 1), Maddie Schimpf(#13) Junior Varsity Our JV girls volleyball team had a successful season.

Those crazy intense games proved to be just what we needed going into zones and eventually provincials. In the Zone Championship game, we were behind the whole way but we never felt we were out of it. When the final buzzer rang we found ourselves all tied up and ready to go into overtime where we dominated and were able to capture the Zone Banner. At Provincials we put together some of our best games. We traded off a Rebel Classic Championship to earn our way into the Provincial Championship game.

The annual publication of the students of W. R. Myers High School Taber, Alberta. (Volume 1984-1985)pdf=2 #7.5'7 IABER PUBLIC LIBRARY^fb^ A year book is usually used in reminiscing about your younger years. Many teachers, parents and “grown-ups” seem to take pleasure in telling teenagers that they should rea ize how happy they are, for their school years will be the best years of their lives. I can remember how ridiculous this statement seemed to be. There always seemed to be much more glamour and prestige linked with my future and with being “older.” I hope that you will remember W.R. Myers with as much fondness as I remember my high school years. We were charged with helping with your maturation and education in a very important and crucial part of your life. I can only hope that we were able to impart some of the knowledge and wisdom that our teachers passed on to us. I wish you all a very happy and fruitful life. PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE VICE-PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Most adults consider the years spent in high school as the best days of their life. This is certainly in my case. I have been most fortunate because, not only was I once a student, but am still able to enjoy the association of students and staff. It is a rich and rewarding experience which, I believe, cannot be found anywhere else. Consequently, it is of the utmost importance to take full advantage of this unique opportunity. Strive during these years for experiences which you can remember with fondness. Endeavor to make memories which you can value throughout your life. These memories will come through participation, committment, and service. I express my deepest appreciation to you, the staff and > the students of Myers High, for making these the best days of my life. EDITOR’S MESSAGE We’ve had an “awesome” time working on this year's yearbook. It’s been a new and challenging experience. We’ve gained a knowledge and better understanding of human relations. (Right Lonnie and Mrs. Thompson!) We also learned the art of chewing gum. (QUIETLY!!) It was great getting to know everyone and working together as a team. Special thanks go to Mrs. Thompson, who put up with alot from us and spent alot of extra time on bringing this yearbook to you. All in all it’s been a rewarding and fruitful experience and the knowledge and benefits will remain with us forever. KERRY HARRIS TODD LUND CO-EDITORS W T 4 LOOK, TWINS! OUCH!!! DEATH ROW.

We have all enjoyed working on the yearbook, it’s an experience that none of us will forget. 10 TEACHERS VOLLEYBALL GAME The teacher’s volleyball game was played, in order to stimulate the students interest in noon hour intramurals. The two teams involved were the teachers from Taber Junior High and our teachers from Myers High. Those who took part in the game were: Del Cleland, Charles Hart, J.C.

Parents, Teachers, Friends, Fellow Graduates: Tonight we stand at the end of one phase of life and at the threshold of a new beginning. To begin, I would like to take the time, as I am sure all graduates would agree to thank those people who have helped make this evening possible. First, we owe a great debt of thanks to our parents who have encouraged and supported us and have always been there when we needed them. Secondly, gratitude should be shown to our teachers and administrators for their part in helping to prepare us for the challenges that lay ahead. Thirdly, thanks is to be given to the grad committee and anyone involved with the grad committee for they have worked so hard from the start of the year to organize and make this night a reality. And last, but not least. We should all take the time to thank our friends with whom we’ve shared the many common experiences that will form the basis of our fondest memories. As I look around, I see many eager and expectant faces and I sense the tension and excitement that accompanies an event with such magnitude and grandeur. All of this seems too good to be true as if we were enveloped in a dream. People are essentially dreamers. And tonight we have the good fortune to participate and witness the fulfillment of such a wondrous dream in the culmination of our graduation ceremonies this evening. And indeed graduation is a dream each one of us has held since we started school though seemingly long, yet short 12 years ago. It is a dream each of us held and saw in the far distant future that has somehow kept us enduring and persevering the past trials and tribulations for the pleasures of this single night. We greet this night openly with youthful exuberance and enthusiasm. However, mixed in with this elation is a sense of apprehension as each of us realizes that we now stand alone to conquer the world from this point on. We are our own and ultimated decision-makers and any choice we make from now on will have everlasting effects on the course of our lives. Tonight, the lights will dim and fade away into twilight and it will appear to be the end of a momentous night, yet a night just like any other in the past. The morning will not only bring the dawn of the sun, but it will bring the dawn of a realization and understanding as we comprehend and accept the implications and newly-laid responsibility of the past night. We are no longer children. We are the new generation of the future. We are the new dream weavers of the world. There are so many opportunities and new plateaus to be grasped in the near future, and all of this seems a little foreboding and confusing. But no obstacle is insurmountable nor is any dream too lofty to be realized. We can and we will enjoy the successes life has to offer for we are the graduating class of 1985.
