Mary Ann Smith Wilson, Ruby Doris Smith Robinson Collection on Student Activism
No full textThe Mary Ann Smith Wilson - Ruby Doris Smith Robinson Collection on Student Activism spans the dates 1948-2008 with the bulk of the material dated 1960-1967. The collection documents both Ruby Doris Smith Robinson's and Mary Ann Smith Wilson's participation in the civil rights movement and the organizations with which they were affiliated. Although the collection documents both sisters' activities, the bulk of the collection reflects Ruby Doris Smith Robinson’s activism activities in the civil rights movement. Also included in the collection are photographs, correspondences, news articles, programs, reports, and flyers.

From the Roman Republic to the American Revolution: readings of Cicero in the political thought of James Wilson
No full textAs a classical scholar and prominent founding father, James Wilson was at once statesman, judge, and political thinker, who read Cicero as an example worthy of emulation and as a philosopher whose theory could be applied to his own age. Classical reception studies have focused on questions of liberty, civic virtue, and constitutionalism in the American founding, and historians have also noted Wilson’s importance in American history and thought. Wilson’s direct engagement with Cicero’s works, however, and their significance in the formulation of his own philosophy has been long overlooked. My thesis argues that Wilson’s viewpoint was largely based on his readings of Cicero and can only be properly understood within this context. In the first two chapters of my thesis I demonstrate that Wilson not only possessed a wide-ranging knowledge of the classics in general, but also that he borrowed from Cicero’s writings and directly engaged with the texts themselves. Building upon this foundation, chapters three and four examine Cicero’s perspective on popular sovereignty and civic virtue, situate Wilson’s interpretations within contemporary discussions of Roman politics, and analyse the main ways in which he adapts Cicero’s arguments to his own era. Wilson retains a broader faith in the common people than seen in Cicero’s opinions, and he abstracts from Cicero a doctrine of sovereignty as an indivisible principle that is absent in the text; nevertheless, Cicero’s conception of a legitimate state and his insistence on the role of the people provided the foundation for Wilson’s thought and ultimately for his legitimization of the American Revolution. At the same time, like Cicero, Wilson views the stability of the state as resting in the personal virtue of the individual. While his enlightenment philosophy imparts optimism to his conception of the good citizen, his definition of virtue closely follows that of Cicero. As the final chapter of my thesis concludes, their individual interpretations of these theories of popular consent and virtue were instrumental in forming Cicero’s and Wilson’s justifications of civil disobedience
A Transfer Report on the Development of a Framework to Evaluate Search Interfaces for their Support of Different User Types and Search Tactics
No full textAs the understanding of search systems, user needs and seeking strategies is developing, the design of search user interfaces is evolving to support more complicated and exploratory forms of search. With the design of new search features that enable these richer modes of exploration, comes the need to better understand the support they provide. In this report a new evaluation framework is presented that analyses search features for how they a) contribute to an overall interface, b) allow users to carry out different search tactics, and c) support different types of users and their needs. The novel contributions of the framework improve on some of the limitations of typical user studies, and allow search systems to be systematically analysed in much more detail and in much less time. The presented evaluation framework is then validated in three ways. First the validity of the models used as the building blocks of the framework are investigated through related work. Second the method of integrating these building-block models is validated and strengthened by consensus of expert opinion. Third, the overall approach is validated by comparing its analyses to the results of previously carried out user studies. The validation process has shown both the value of the framework and identified areas of future work that should be addressed for the framework to be completed. This report concludes with the set of contributions that the framework makes, and why the remaining work will be challenging, but critical to the final design

WILSON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Lethbridge, AlbertaTHIS YEARBOOK IS DEDICATED TO
MISS VERNA GRAY
Miss Gray first saw the light of day in the village of Wawanesa, Manitoba. While still a preschooler she and her family moved to Calgary and later to Lethbridge. She attended Westminster School and the Collegiate. After graduating from Grade Twelve she enrolled in a Homo Economics program at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. She interrupted her degree program to attend the Calgary Normal School.
Her life of teaching began in Fleetwood School where she taught grades two. three and four. Some of her summers were spent attending summer school and culminated in the awarding of the degree of Bachelor of Education to her.
Miss Gray then changed her subject field to that of Home Economics. She taught this to grades seven, eight and nine students in the gymnasium on the old Westminster School grounds. When the new Collegiate was built the program was moved into this building. Miss Gray had joined the staff of Hamilton but her classes were held in the high school.
In 1954. one year oftor Wilson Junior High was built. Miss Gray joined their staff and has remained with us teaching in the same field. She is very much interested in travel and reading. She is noted for her diligence and fairness. The students and staff of Wilson wish her many more years of teaching and respectfully dedicate this yearbook to her.G. R CASTLES

n COPRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Tis education forms the common mind.
Just as the twig is bent, the tree’s inclined.
Some of you may wonder why you must go lo school. You allend so that you will benefit to the greatest extent possible from living in such a great country as ours. Aristotle was once asked how educated men were superior to those uneducated. He replied, "As much as the living are to the dead." A great philosopher was quoted as saying, "\ consider a human soul without education like marble in the quarry, which shows none of its inherent beauties till the skill of the polisher brings out the colors, makes the surface shine, and discovers every ornamental cloud, spot and vein that runs through the body of it."
One of the most valuable results of all education is the ability to make yourself do the things you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not. This is one of the hardest things to do for man is a procrastinator - he likes to put oft doing things.
We live in a changing world. Our school year will be altered next term. New methods of teaching are being tried. New courses are being introduced. We are progressing. We must adapt or go the way of prehistoric animals. You can't stop change, just as you can't put the toothpaste back into the tube.
I wish all of you a very pleasant holiday and may your year be a successful one.
The "olden age lies onward not behind The pathwai/ through the past has led us up The pathway through the future will lead us on and higher.H E MAJOR

This year our senior team has been very successful.
Mr. Umeris, our coach, did a great job in getting us ready for the championship game against Paterson. During the season, our team managed to win five games out of the eight, losing two games to Catholic Central and a tie with Paterson. We thus won the league championship and proceeded on to play the final game for the city championship, which we won 2-1 over Paterson. Many thanks go out to the team who did a job well along with Mr. Umeris doing the school a great deal of honor.
Our junior team however did not do so well due to a bad first half season in which they lost three games, tied one, and managed to v/in one game. In the second half of the season they made a great comeback by winning three games and tying two. Making it to the finals, they played against Paterson losing the game by a score of 1-0.(maybe it was because they didn t have a team manager) Another fine coach, Mr. Cook, did a great job in preparing the team and just about pulling them through. It was a fine effort on the part of Mr. Cook and the Team.

This year track and field got started in January with the track club meeting three times a week indoors.
On Saturday March 1, 1969 a large contingent of athletes from the club participated in the Annual Lethbridge Herald Junior Indoor Track and Field Meet. Here we competed against athletes from Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Montana. Congratulations go out to Ken Shaskin who jumped 19T 62”
*1. 4.
in the long jump to establish a new provincial batam indoor record.
Our next competition was our own school track meet which was held on Friday May 23 .
Students placing first and second at our track meet went on to represent the school at the city track meet. Holly Tokariuk threw the shot put 2Sri" to break the previous mark of 26r 6". Cleo Psaltis bettered the record mark in the Midget Girls Triple Long Jump jumping 13 feet 10j inches better than the previous record of 13T 9i".
Wendy Stegan took a full second off of the old record in the girls 440 open by coming in with a time of one minute 10.7 seconds.
Brenda Schmidt won the 60 yard dash, the 100 yard dash, the running broad gump and came in second in the hop step and jump. Brenda as a result of these efforts was the individual winner in the junior girls division. Peter Shaw was the junior boys champion. Ken Shaskin captured the senior boys title.
We also captured the Senior and Junior Team Championships. The school tied for first place standing in the meet.BAND - GRADES 8 & 9

Collaboration in Iranian Scientific Publications
No full textThis study looks at international collaboration in Iranian scientific publications through the ISI Science Citation Index® (SCI) for the years 1995-1999, inclusive. These results are compared to and contrasted with the earlier findings for the periods covering 1985-1994 (Osareh & Wilson 2000). The results of Iran's increasing productivity over a 15-year period are presented. Iran doubled its output in the first two five-year periods and increased 2.8-fold from the second to the third five-year period. The rise in Iran's scientific publication output is due mainly to factors such as the ending of the war, better economic conditions, recent changes in the Iranian government's policy, basic changes in the political environment brought about by the Reformers, expansion of the Iranian presses for national publications, and the recent return of a large number of students trained overseas through government scholarships. External changes also account for the increased productivity, e.g., the acceptance of three Iranian source journals by the SCI, increased access to international databases through the Internet and better electronic communication facilities for international collaboration. One of the most important and significant factors that caused this dramatic rise seems to be the government's research policies in the last few years. Since 1999, the Iran Science, Research and Technology Ministry, has encouraged researchers to publish their non-Farsi language articles in highly ranked international scientific journals, for example, by giving prizes to researchers who publish their articles in ISI-ranked journals
Seduction by the Internet: a study of undergraduate use of Web resources
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine upper class undergraduate student citation strategies that were used in completing their research assignments. We analyzed a total of 826 citations from seventy- five (75) political science undergraduate research papers in order to determine the types of scholarly resources that were utilized by these students. Additionally we attempted to determine the extent of student use of online sources and the persistence of these online sources over time. Findings are highlighted with suggestions for future research.Paper accepted for presentation at the conference, Libraries in the Digital Age, June 3, 2008, Dubrovnik, Croatia (http://www.ffos.hr/lida/lida2008/program/).Peer reviewe
A Validated Framework for Measuring Interface Support for Interactive Information Seeking
No full textIn this paper we present the validation of an evaluation framework that models the support provided by search systems for different types of user and their expected types of seeking behavior. Factors determining the types of users include previous knowledge and goals. After an overview is presented, the framework is validated in two ways. First, the novel integration of the two existing information-seeking models used in the framework is validated by the correlation of multiple expert and novice analysis. Second, the framework is validated against the results produced by two separated user studies. Further, the refinements made by the first validation technique are shown to increase the accuracy of the framework through the second technique. The successful validation process has shown that the framework can identify both strong and weak areas of search interface design in only a few hours. The results produced can be used to either revise and strengthen designs or inform the structure of a user study
