Recognition and Reversal in Samson Agonistes
My study approaches Samson Agonistes by way of the tradition of Renaissance divine drama. The Introduction surveys the criticism of Sam from 1930 to the present and establishes the character of interpretations produced by other approaches. Chapter I surveys Aristotle\u27s Poetics as the conceptual framework within which both Milton and the divine dramatists worked, emphasizing recognition and reversal. Chapter II analyzes adaptation of recognition and reversal in selected plays of the divine drama, revealing development of a method of dramatization that encouraged depiction of inner, spiritual conflict without allegory; plays discussed are John the Baptist, Freewyl, Acolastus, Misogonus, Samson, Tragoedia Nova, Marianna, Baptistes Sive Calumnia, and Samson, A Sacred Tragedy. Chapter III reads Milton\u27s play against this background. I find the structure of Samson best explained as three tragic recognition scenes culminating in a reversal interwoven with two additional recognitions effecting catharsis. Recognition scenes depict thought as action, dramatize growth in Samson\u27s understanding to the point of decisive action, and provide an eventful middle. Present from initial lines to conclusion is imagery of blindness and seeing that underlines growth in understanding. The play is not allegorical; it develops theological realism after the manner of the divine dramatists, but Milton\u27s superior artistry makes it seem unique

Hello Rebels Family!
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

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

A Message ■
from ou„r awth^lOtiC DiPOCtO
It was a sad reality that we all had to face this year with little to no athletic
competitions across the Province for High School Sport. 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!

The W.R. Myers Concert and

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

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.

Sayge Turcato was in the Alberta
High School Rodeo Provincials
Finals at the beginning of June
she went into the finals as the
season leader in the Barrel
Racing and she was 8th in
District 1 for the Breakaway
Roping with a few go round wins
she ended up winning the
Alberta Finals in the Barrel
Racing and placing 4th in the
Breakaway. That qualified Sayge
to go to the National High School
Rodeo Finals 2021 in Lincoln,
Nebraska.
Way to go Sayge!!
Kayce Liptak has also had a great showing this year
so far. She placed 2nd at Provincials, just behind
Sayce Turcato. This meant that she also qualified to
go to the National High School Rodeo Finals 2021
in Lincoln, Nebraska.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console.
To be understood as to understand To be loved as to love; for
It is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are Born to eternal life.
Lord make me an instrument of Thy peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Deai’ Students,
You are members of the student body of a Catholic school because your parents realize the importance of your Religion now and throughout your future adult life. Oftentimes, faulty training and erroneous thinking have caused many students to gain far less from their Catholic Education than they should have.
If you really understand how important the life of your soul is, then you would do much more than you are doing spiritually. You would assist at Mass frequently and even daily. You would receive the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist as often as possible. These Sacraments are necessary for the care of your soul, especially through your years of schooling. We can get by with much less but that doesn't mean that we are looking after our soul adequately. One of the tragic things in life is that we often look upon our religious duties as strictly obligations and not as privileges for serving God. God does not push us. He has left us free to choose. Is our choice always the best?
I am convinced that the self-discipline gained in the devout practise of your Catholic Faith carries over to the discipline necessary for success in your school life no matter what abilities God has given you. The laggard in the practise of his Religion most often is a laggard in his school work.
We hope and pray for a genuine Catholic atmosphere in Saint Francis School. Each of you plays an important role in this and must assume the responsibility to help in creating and maintaining this atmosphere by a devout living of your Faith and by a sincere effort to practise all the Christian virtues.
Those who are leaving Saint Francis at the end of June, are entering a world diametrically opposed to real honest Christian living. Make a sincere effort to show others the way of Christ through good example. Promise yourself that you will always follow the way of Christ without any hesitation.

This year 1962 will be a turning point in the lives of many students. Some will go on to higher education either at university, junior college, or technical school. Still others will venture into the world to find their respective places. To those of us who are graduating, the knowledge gained during these high school years will help to guide us in the future, whether it be in higher education or in the business world.
Graduation day will live forever in the minds and hearts of those graduating. It represents an accomplishment which we have strived for since early youth. We can proudly say that we are graduating with a truly Catholic education which will serve as a firm basis for our life ahead.
On behalf of the Students' Council and myself I would sincerely like to thank all who have helped with the year's activities, especially Mr. Sawicki, our council advisor. Father Gregoire, whose help was greatly appreciated, and indeed, the whole staff for their interest and cooperation on all occasions.
I would also like to thank the student body for its support of the numerous activities we organized during the year. I would like those who are returning to St. Francis to remember that its graduates have done their best to live up to the ideals of our school. The spirit and tradition of St. Francis has become known and accepted and future students should try to maintain this tradition.
To those graduating, I would like to say good luck in whatever the future holds in store for them.

This year's Student Council enjoyed a very successful term in office. The executive consisted of Mike Wakerich, President; Don Swedish, Vice-President; Dennis O'Connell, Treasurer; and Hon Smith, Secretary. Grades 8 to 10 elected room representatives.
Mr. S. Sawicki acted as Student Advisor.
The Council tried hard this year to satisfy the student needs. Bowling was introduced to the students, and was quite a success. During the winter months, hockey was a welcome recreation. The school rented the arena on specific nights so that the students could take advantage of this opportunity.
Lunch time dances called shags were held late in February and became very popular with the high school students. The social activities this year at St. Francis again were handled by the Council. A Halloween Masquerade dance was held in October with a good turnout. On February 16, a Valentine dance was held. Len Erlendson was in attendance. The gym was decorated by members of the Student Council and the Council from St. Joseph's.
The annual Spring Prom was held May 9. The gym was decorated to a South Sea theme. It was well attended by students and parents. Joe Berlando's band, the Hi-Hatters, provided musical entertainment for the evening.
The Council also made sure that the classes presented skits for the assembly period, when they were so requested.
The students, we feel, were satisfied with the work of the Students’ Council this year. The 1961-62 Council wishes success to nest year's Council and is sure that it will do an excellent job for the students.Joe Zezulka Editor-in-Chief

YEARBOOK STAFF
Vox Iuvenum is more than just a collection of photographs and reading material recording the people and happenings of 1961-62 at St. Francis. Truly, it is the "voice of young men. " In the years to come it will be treasured for the memories it holds, symbolizing what was enjoyed and loved.
A school is a place of tradition. Each student or teacher who joins its ranks becomes a part of that tradition. He is moulded by the school's past even as he himself contributes to its future. So it is here at St. Francis. New students come; graduates go. But something of the school tradition remains, for St. Francis, though young in years, has already created a story of its own. That story lives on and grows, as the school itself lives on and expands. This is your story. To its chapters you will contribute as students and as graduates of St. Francis. That is why the staff has endeavored to present a book different both in spirit and format. Then, when we look at it in five, ten, or twenty years, we will be able to say, "This was the year 1962, and it was a good year. "
If this book, both now and in the years which lie ahead, helps to bring back memories of St. Francis and the activities you enjoyed this year, our work will be richly rewarded.
With sincere pride we present this year's Vox Iuvenum, hopeful that it will be a distinct credit to our school and faculty. Sincerely we hope that the "Voice of Young Men" will be enjoyable to its readers, beneficial to its loyal sponsors and patrons, and above all, a lasting memory to our many friendships cultivated here at St. Francis.

SODALITY
Throughout the 1961-62 season, the Sodality of Mary has been active in many spiritual and social works. The Sodalists have attended Mass in a body one day a week throughout the term and have played key roles in the organization of the annual Vocational Rally held at St. Francis. The Junior Sodality lias also helped the students of the school through their diligent work in the "canteen. "
Ili-liting the group's activities this year was the Annual Sodality Convention held in Calgary in February. The theme of the convention, attended by about 300 Sodalists, was "Sodality Today Has an Eye on Tomorrow. "
The motto of the Sodality, "Ad Jesum Per Mariam, " suggests to us that the Sodalist must be willing to co-operate with Mary in performing the works required by the Sodality Rules. He must strive to practise his true Catholic faith in the presence of others. We hope that the students of St. Francis will recognize the work that is being done by the members of the Sodality in their attempt to set a high religious and moral standard for our
Catholic school and students.
This year, under the auspices of Father Wilson, several students risked life, limb, and their good health in the pursuit of chemistry.
Among this year's activities were several trips to industrial and chemical plants, as well as the avid experimentation which took place in the school lab.
An interesting series of experiments having ho perscribed conclusion, thus allowing experimentation, proved exceedingly popular. Such, however, was not only in fun and a great amount of useful and important work resulted. The tours included a trip to the city water purification plant, the local research station, and the B-A sulphur plant in Pincher Creek.
Chemistry Club meetings were not the only periods of scientific endeavor as much of the work undertaken by the senior members was completed in many long hours spent after school.
The Chemistry Club wishes to thank Father Wilson for his untiring efforts which made the time spent in the lab. most enjoyable and beneficial to all those involved.MATH CLUB

MISSING: K. Fabbi.ANNUAL RETREAT
Pack up the books, put all material things aside! It's time for a retreat at St. Francis High School. Yes, that was the cry on March 20. For two days, silence was to reign supreme and the students of St. Francis prepared to take a step closer toward God.
Our retreat master was Reverend Father Male, whose inspiring talks opened our eyes a little wider so that we could see and understand a little more clearly our ultimate goal and the means needed to achieve it. Throughout the conferences, the quotation "To Jesus Through Mary" was emphasized to impress upon our minds the importance of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary in redeeming ourselves and the whole world as well.
The atmosphere of prayer and penance that pervaded the halls of St. Francis gave sufficient testimony of the appreciation of the students for this privilege and of the success of the retreat.
Reverend Father Malo
MISSION REPORT
You might call this year at St. Francis, "Mission Year," because it has been a wonderful one and should be noted. The year started with a bang and a mission raffle helped pull the slackening season out to reach the new objective of $500. 00. This objective has already been excelled.
Again this year Father Wilson's room 9B, has come through with flying colors to take first place, far ahead of everyone else. Next in line was Grade 10B.
As a result of the tremendous generosity of the teachers and students many needy children will receive help, and we are sure they will be truly thankful.

Kathryn-Anne Erdman brought honour to herself, her parents and her school when, in 1968, she won
the Governor General’s award for the highest marks in the grade nine Departmental Examinations. She
achieved 99% in Mathematics, 96% in Language, 92% in Science, 90% in Literature, 88% in Social Studies and
84% in Reading. Her average was 91.5%. In addition to receiving the Governor General's Award, Kathryn-
Anne was presented with the Oxford Dictionary by the Professional Engineers of Alberta for having obtained
the highest marks for Mathematics and Science in Lethbridge and area.
Kathy, as she is known by her friends, was born in Lethbridge on February 15th, 1954. She obtained
her elementary and junior high school education at the Gilbert Paterson School, during which time she won
numerous awards, including several city-wide. During her grade nine year, Kathy was the school president of
the Red Cross Youth. She has been a member of the Math. Club and the Biology Club and has participated in
House League Sports. She has taken part in plays and musicals conducted in the school and also by McKillop
Church, of which she is a member. She is a member of the McKillop Church Choir. For years she was a member
of the Lethbridge Sketch Club.
Kathy is a grade nine student with the Toronto Royal Conservatory of Music. She is taking grade
five harmony and grade four history of music. Kathy won two first prizes with her entries in the Lethbridge
Science Fair in addition to several prizes in the Lethbridge and District Fair for Home Economics, art and

Kathryn-Anne Erdman, we at Paterson are proud of your achievements
and we take pleasure in dedicating this yearbook to you. We thank
you for the honour you have brought to our school and we will watch
your future with interest and pride.
"A little more persistence,
A little more effort,
And what seems a hopeless failure,
May turn to a glorious success."
♦
TO THE STUDENTS OF 1968-1969:
All are looking forward to the end of June -- the end of another school year and the holiday
season of July and August.
Grade IX students will be thinking of the new school year, of entering Senior High School,
probably the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute. The coming school year also marks the beginning of the
so-called "divided school year" starting the last week in August of 1969 and ending early in June, 1970.
The present school year of 1968-69 has seen increased unrest, greater turbulence, and wanton
destruction in many universities. Many who protest advocate such things as no gradings, no examinations,
no definite course or curriculum for subjects, and other co-called "reforms".
Is getting an education - Elementary, Junior High, Senior High, Technical or Business,
University - just a process of putting in so many minutes, hours, months, and years? Will progress in
school be based on seniority - will pupils pass - be granted diplomas - obtain certificates - secure
degrees - based on time spent in certain educational institutions?
What of the everyday world? Everyone has some hobby, some form of recreation. How many would
play hockey, basketball, baseball, badminton and not keep score? How many golfers are not interested in
improving their score - in playing par golf or better? The dream of every bowler is to bowl a perfect
game. Those engaged in archery, in trap-shooting keep some record of their achievement.
What about the world of work? Every plumber, bricklayer, carpenter, or television technician
has completed a very definite course to acquire certain skills to be able to do what is demanded in his
trade. His ability has been measured in some way or other. How many people are engaged in selling -
and how many salespeople do not strive constantly to improve their sale’s record?
How many would have trust in professional men - lawyers, dentists, doctors - if they had not
taken definite courses - had not achieved a particular core of knowledge and a certain degree of skill
(measured in some way or other) in their general fields?
Do not delude yourself. There is no easy way to make the most of your life. Those who believe
that pleasure is all important first have to do some work to make that pleasure possible. What the future
holds for you depends on the education you get and how you use that education.
Although the news media give much publicity to restless youth, there are many boys and girls
who are attempting, in a most responsible manner, to secure a higher education.

The school year 1968-69 has come and gone very quickly. During this past year, the Students' Council has worked very hard trying to please the young adults of Gilbert Paterson. I would like to thank the teachers, students and our advisor, Mr. Millar, for all the help we obtained this year.
Throughout this year, we have tried to give you a variety of-activities and parties. For the first time, swimming parties were held and they made a large impression on the students. We had four skating parties which I am sure all enjoyed except for those who were curious to see how soft the ice was. A bowling party was held for the sevens and eights. For the grade nines, two dances have been held and the Graduation Dance is upcoming in the future. The first dance was a record hop which was held in the fall and the second was held on Valentine’s Day. We had a live band at the second dance and a King and Queen were chosen. On Sadie Hawkins' Day, everyone came clad in some weird but sophisticated costume. The contest between the finalists was held on the stage and was different. We had a badminton tournament between the teachers and students. Most came out of that with strained muscles. A photo contest was held for the yearbook and we did away with the houses.
At Christmas, the school band entertained us with a program while Firs. Lees’ chorus sang some carols after which the student body sang. We were also entertained by the L.C.I. Band and had a visit by Sketch Erickson. After Easter, the Allied Arts Council entertained us with a variety program.
During the past year, I think our school showed more school spirit than anyone else in years gone by. Everyone was up for the basketball games or the tournaments the school attended. I think you all should be proud of this and endeavor to increase this in future years.
I am sure that the grade nines are looking forward to the Graduation Exercises at the end of the year. I would like to say that I have greatly enjoyed serving as your president and the experience I gained from it is considerably large. I would like to send my best wishes to next years council and to everyone, good luck on your exams.
----- Greg AndersonAVE ATQUE VALE
It is with real regret that, having reached that certain age, I must leave Gilbert Paterson School and join the ranks of the retired.
When I came here in 1958 it was with the intention of staying one year, but the friendliness afforded me was so wonderful that I stayed on. This is the longest period spent in any one school by me since beginning my teaching career in May 1922. That speaks volumes for Gilbert Paterson Jr. High.
This is a school to be proud of. It has a first rate reputation academically, and is well known for the control exercised in a kindly way over the students in attendance. I am proud to have been part of it and thank all who have made my stay here one which will never be forgotten.Graduation Exercises were held at the Gilbert
Paterson Junior High School on the evening of June 6, 1969.
Following the program a dance was held at the L.C.I.

"GOD SAVE THE QUEEN"
**************
"FOR THE FUTURE"
Go forth my son with banner and with shield
The spoils of earth are yours to reap
This world has much that it can yield It can be yours and yours to keep.
Turn not away from any man
And beckon all who wayward trod
But always look for Heaven’s guide
And keep your faith in God.
The world is cruel and hard and cold
But beauty can be found
In love, in all the Godly things
That he has made abound.
Seek out the Lamp of Righteousness
Heed not the Tempters call
In truth and faith and love, my son
You’ll reap the harvest all.
Pat Hartbauer

"SUCCESS is a matter of adjusting one’s efforts to obstacles and one’s abilities to a service needed by others. Most people think of it in terms of getting; Success begins in terms of giving."
—Henry FordMUSIC FESTIVAL ENTRIES
Gilbert Paterson Junior High School did very well at the Music Festival
this year. The Glee Club, consisting of forty-two members from Grades VII, VIII
and IX, placed first in the Junior High Folk Singing Class. Mrs. Hope acted as
accompanist. The Girls’ Chorus, a purely voluntary group of twenty-two members
from Grade VII placed first with an "H" standing to receive the R.A. Wright
Trophy. This group had Mr. Smerek as accompanist. The eighteen member, Grades
VII and VIII Boys’ Chorus, another strictly voluntary group, placed first.
Again, Mr. Smerek was accompanist. Two Girls’ Trios in Open Class placed first
and second in competition. The groups were Elaine McKeen, Sheri McFadden and
Melaney Black, first; Sharmaine Bzdell, Sheila Bullock and Lisa Corley, second.
Accompanist was Mrs. Lees. We had five Grade VII Girl’s Solo entries. Lisa
Corley and Sheri McFadden were adjudicated as third. Two Grade VII Boy’s Solo
entries were made but neither participated. One withdrew and one was ill. One
Grade VIII Boy’s Solo, Jim Toone, placed first to win the Donaldson Trophy.
Two Grade VIII girls entered solos and Barbara Peterson was adjudicated third
place.
The students of Gilbert Paterson Junior
High School are greatly indebted to the students
who have contributed their services and
talents to the make-up of their annual Yearbook.
Special thanks are due to Trevor Cook,
editor; to Donald Allan and Orrie Cumming,
assistant editors and to Roger Taniwa, cartoonist.
These four people spent many hours
of their own time planning, getting name
lrsts and reports and, in general, doing about
everything from pasting pictures to writing and
editing. Without their efforts, your Yearbook
would have travelled a very rocky road to completion.
The student’s of our school owe these
four people a big "Thank You" for a job which,
we hope you will agree, is well done.
LITTLE THOUGHTS
"If time be of all things the most precious," according to Benjamin
Franklin, "wasting time must be the greatest prodigality, since lost time
is never found again. Let us then up and be doing, and doing to the purpose;
so by diligence shall we do more with less perplexity."
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little
things, in which smiles, and kindnesses, and small obligations, given
habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort.
Spare moments are the gold dust of time. Of all the portions of
our life, the spare moments are the most fruitful in good or evil.
VALEDICTORY ADDRESS
by Susan Morgan
Mr. Chairman, Honoured Guests, Parents, Teachers, and Fellow Graduands:
"What is worth the trouble of doing, is worth the trouble of doing well." This ancient proverb applies especially to our schoolings Very shortly we will be facing the first formal set erf departmental examinations in our education. After these there will be many more challenges, such as those in high school, • university, technical schools, business schools, and future vocations. We should never face these challenges indolently, for success only comes through the desire to excel. If we have a positive outlook in life, our returns for what we do will also be positive.
When Madame Curie was in high school, she won many awards for outstanding work. Once, when she was asked if she wished to be better than the others, she replied that she did not want to be better than other students but to be the best person possible within herself. Like Madam Curie, we should not compare ourselves to others but compare ourselves to what we are capable of doing. We should ask ourselves if we are doing a good job, a better job, or the best job possible, and always strive for the latter. Among us are those who will be taking a matriculation program, a business program, or a technical vocational i program. At these we should always try to do our best. Whether you plan to be a doctor, lawyer, or Indian Chief, you should always strive to be the best doctor, lawyer, or Indian Chief possible. Perhaps we could reflect now upon the mottcr'of Lord Thompson who rose from selling newspapers on a street corner in Estevan, Saskatchewan, to become the owner of one of the world5s largest newspaper syndicates. His motto in life was: "Never a backward step". He meant by this that one should never become complacent or perhaps even slip backward after achieving one’s goal.
One must always look to the future for forthcoming success, and not be a slave of the past, thinking only of past accomplishments and failures. However, through past experiences, one may derive knowledge that will make future successes possible. One must learn through experiences, even though it may give a wrong conclusion. It is a wise man who reflects on past experiences in order to make decisions for his present and future goals. Looking back at the time we have spent at Gilbert Paterson, we see that the experiences and the knowledge we have obtained will help us in our further education.
Many of the thought processes of a computer are like that of the human brain. The most expensive part of a computer lies in its memory systems. The greater storage capacity of its memories, the greater the ability for solving more difficult and complex problems. So man, like a computer, must use his memory in order to facilitate future learning and problem solving. During the past three years, we have been learning and storing knowledge that will help us succeed in the future. Let us hope that we will continue to add to this wealth of knowlege during the next years of our education.ROOM 10^

From madrasah to museum : a biography of the Islamic manuscripts of Cape Town
This paper focuses on the Islamic manuscripts of Cape Town, locally referred to as kietaabs, written by Muslims predominantly in the 19th century, in jawi (Arabic-Malay) and Arabic-Afrikaans. Inspired by the idea of a 'biography' of the archive and 'the social life of things', the study traces the life of the kietaabs, from their creation and original use, to their role in contemporary South African society, as objects of heritage and identity. It approaches the kietaabs as objects, emphasizing their movements, status and use, rather than their content

It is indeed an honor and a privilege to present this address. The significance of this evening will long be remembered as an important event in the course of our lives, for it represents the completion of nine years of study, recreation and companionship.
As we look back over the years, we may smile, as we think of the problems and experiences which confronted us. They may have seemed unconquerable at the time, however, as author Arthur Guitermann implies, "Time changes all things." Therefore, what seemed unsurmountable then, is now, a mere recollection of the past.
We may recall the days when we entered school for the first time. We were cast into a new world of pencils, books and more books. It was also here that we experienced the disciplinary action of the teachers, finding them somewhat similar to that of our parents. It was in this "Ace of Innocence", that small problems seemed overwhelmingly difficult and we often wondered if ever, we would grow up. Thus a period of six years came to an end.
We were, perhaps, sad in our farewell to elementary school and in leaving comfortable habits. This only presented temporary worries, however, for the prospect of attending a larger school, meeting new friends and acquiring greater knowledge, remained constantly in our minds.
This oeriod has now come to a close and we must look to the future in the anticipation of attaining new heights and in overcoming the difficulties which may arise.
Now, as we look around this hall, seeing all these happy and proud faces, it leaves us with sadness, knowing that some of us will not be here in. the future. This is softened somewhat, since each of us has a worthwhile purpose to fulfill in life.
We must also consider and be thankful for the love and affection of our parents and the constant guidance of the teachers, who, in their efforts helped us to further our schooling.
Thus, it is in this state of mind that I wish to congratulate you, and wish you all the "best in the years to come. Let us all be prepared to use what we have gained to make this world of ours a better place in which to live.
Horst Weber.Grade Nine Graduation Banquet and Dance
This year’s graduation banquet started off punctually at 6:30 with the march of the graduands followed by 0 Canada, and grace by Mike Brown. A delicious cold plate meal was served. About half way through the first course we listened to a very enjoyable trumpet solo by Robert Hall. Heather Emery then proposed a toast to the school board followed by a reply from Mr. E.J. Kipp. The next item on the program was a vocai solo by Gloria Rogers and a toast was proposed by Gladys Brassard to the Parent's Association. The reply was by Mr. Walker, the president of the association. The next entertainer was Willard Roelofs with a clarinet solo. Ken Enander proposed a toast to the teaching staff to which Mr. Charnetski reolied. Donna Huber sang a solo followed by Mr. Thorlacius with a toast to the graduands. Horst Weber delivered a very interesting valedictory address after which the chairman, Pat Bartlett ore- se.nted Mr. Turner with a picture from the 1960-61 graduating class. Mr. Turner then gave a talk about the method by which 'Winston Churchill is run. The chairman then officially declared the banquet as closed. A dance followed at the L.C.I. beginning at 9:00 and ending at 12:00. The dance was attended by the graduands from Paterson, Hamilton and Churchill and the Playland Orchestra was in attendance.

This year has proven to be a year of disappointment for our senior boy's basketball team. Although we didn't win a championship spot, we have learned how to be good losers. Mainly because we don't know what it's like to be the winners.
Thanks to Mr. Doram, we were able to have a team this year, and put up a good fight at times. His own basketball exoerience has been, and wiii, be a great asset to us. Only through his determination will we be able to have a good ball team. Next year, he will make this school oroud of the senior boy's basketball team.

Senior Boy's Basketball
Junior Boy's Basketball
The Junior Boy's Basketball team has a successful season considering the fact that they are a first year team. Although greatly outplayed in some games, the team managed third place in the league standings, a . few ooints ahead of Paterson. The boys were at their best during the last half of the season.
However, they lost their semi-final games to St. Francis. Under the excellent coaching of Mr. McCormick, the team played very well.

The reason that some people get lost in thought is that it is unfamiliar territory.

Senior Girl's Basketball
The runners and uniforms of the Girl's Basketball team have been locked away and their traditional good luck charms have been put away until next season. The basketball trips and all the practices of the past few months, have become a fond memory. Winston Churchill High School's first year in comoetitive Senior "B" Girl's Basketball has come to a close.
The Girl's Team was credited with one victory throughout the season. We can truly say that they tried very hard, showed great determination and took defeat in their stride. The idea behind comoetitive snorts is to bring about better sportsmanship for the oarticioants and it takes more of a show of good sportsmanship to lose a game than to win one.
Winston Churchill has a first year basketball team that any school would be proud of. We realize our team has great ootential and next year with more practice and the additional experience gained from this year, we hope to be very successful. Hr. Hiatt, the team's coach, deserves a snecial thanks, as he Dut in a great deal of time and effort towards shaping the foundation for a championship team.
We'd like to thank the giris who played on this year's team and helped to make Churchill's debut into competitive sports a steeping stone to a brighter outlook for next year. We wish the following team the best of luck and hope that they can hit the basket more often than we did.

Churchill junior Girl’s Basketball City Champions '60-'6l
Diana Crabb - (guard) her long shots won us many games.
Pat Coyle T (guard) leading point scorer in the play-offs.
Bev Jarvis - (forward) preferred to pass rather than shoot but was an
invaluable player.
Alice Herfst- (center) team captain and leading scorer.
Maureen Godsalve - (forward) a good guard and forward, "Mo" was an
outstanding player
Jean Perdue - (forward) the most improved player on the team. Jean was
a deadly rebounder
Edna Willis - (forward) her ability and willingness to play anywhere
made her invaluable
Delores Fraser - (guard) played well all season.
June Jacobson - (forward) was one of the best dribblers on the team. Elizabeth Harus- (forward) miesed the playoffs because of an injury
but supported the team 100%.
Thanks to a magnificent end-of-season run of success inspired by coach Sharon Smeed, the Junior Girls demolished Paterson in two games and then went on to beat Hamilton in two further games which were undecided until almost the last whistle.

HUNTSVILLE HISTORY HI-LITES
Huntsville School District was organized November 10, 1906. Construction of the school
began in the spring of 1907 and classes commenced in September with 33 students taught by
Miss Agnes Creelman, who came out from Eastern Canada. This school was located on the farm
of Will Hunt, about a mile south of Iron Springs town.
Class enrolment totaled up to as many as 51 students ranging in age from five to twenty-five
years. Children of all ages came to learn the basics, reading, ’riting and 'rithmetic and new
pioneers who had missed out on formal teaching came to learn higher mathematics so advantages
would not be taken of them in their business dealings. Consequently during slack
times on the homesteads they came to school to learn such things as figuring board feet for new
buildings, weights and measures for the various grain crops, percentages and many other
important facts.
Little children who walked or rode long distances were so tired by afternoon they had naps in
their desks.
This building was moved onto the present site in 1926 and a high school building was erected.
In the meantime a building was rented from Wm. Venables and used as a classroom.
5
In 1936 large school units were being formed in Alberta and when the Lethbridge School
Division took over, Huntsville school gained students from Battersea, Bulmer, Granite Falls and
Turin West. School vans appeared on the scene. These were usually half-ton trucks with the
boxes built up and roofed over and a bench around the inside for seating the passengers.
In 1941 a new four classroom building was constructed. Many students of Japanese descent
began attending school here that next fall.
6
In 1946 the barn was no longer being used so it was converted into a classroom and later used as
an Industrial Arts room. Two new subjects had been added which were Industrial Arts for the boys
and Domestic Science for the girls. The boys attended these classes in the basement of the High
School and the girls had their classes in the teacherage.
In 1950 a “Utility” room and two classrooms were built as a separate unit to help house the influx of
children of the new immigrant families from Holland. Enrolment boomed so it was necessary in the fall
of 1950 to send grades 10, 11 and 12 to Picture Butte High School.
In the fall of 1958 construction began on the present school building when the former school rooms
were joined together with a kitchen, gymnasium, rotunda and bathrooms. Thus ended the era of the
little shacks out back. The four east classrooms were added at this time too.
7
Official opening of this school was held in March 1959. In conjunction with the opening
ceremonies, Award Night and graduation of grade nine students from the previous year was
held. What a joy at last to have a gymnasium. Basketball and badminton games were soon
organized and many other activities followed now that there was accomodation for a crowd. The
Home and School organized several money making drives so new stage curtains and a public
address system could be purchased.
In September 1967 the Junior High grades 7,
8 and 9 were moved to Picture Butte and since
then Huntsville has been an elementary school.
In 1975 Turin and Huntsville schools were
amalgamated and there were five teachers and
94 students. In 1977 enrolment decreased so
there have been only three teachers on staff
since then. The present staff consists of
Principal Jim Asplund, Elaine Haughian and
Linda Timura.
During the 75 years the Huntsville School has
had 133 teachers and over 1600 students. It
has also had 23 caretakers, four secretaries and
seven librarians.

ODE TO TEACHERS
A successful teacher needs, the education of a college president, the executive ability of a financier, the humility of a deacon, the adaptability of a chameleon, the hope of an optimist, the courage of a hero,
the wisdom of a serpent the gentleness of a dove the grace of God, and the persistence of the devil.
With Apologies To None
When I am introduced as a teacher, I am usually asked what I teach. When I say “First Grade,’’ I generally hear a flat "Oh.”
I have never been certain whether it is an expression of pity, sympathy, or disgust or perhaps disinterest. Always I wish I had time to explain.
Yes I teach first grade.
Where else would a handsome and very young man put his arms around me and ask, “Do you know that I love you?”
Where else would I tie so many hair ribbons and belts and daily get to see a style show of pretty dresses and shirts?
Where else could I wear the same dress day after day and be told each time that it is pretty? Where else could I walk up and down aisles and have warm little hands touch me?
Where else could I have the privilege of wiggling loose teeth and receive a promise that I may
pull them when they are loose enough.
Where else could I eat a soiled piece of candy from a grimy little hand and not become ill? I have to eat it because he watches to see that I do.
Where else would the future look as bright as it does amid an energetic group to whom nothing is impossible?
Where else could I guide the first letter formations of a chubby little hand that may someday write a book or important document?
Where else could I forget my own aches and pains because of so many cut fingers, scratched knees, bumped heads and broken hearts that need care?
Where else could I forget taxes and even “the state of the nation” because Stevie isn’t grasping reading as he should and other methods must be tried?
Where else would my mind have to stay so young as with a group whose attention span is so short that I must always keep a “bag of tricks” up my sleeve?
Where else could I feel so close to my Maker as I do each year when because of something I have done, little children learn to read?
Yes, I do teach first grade and “I LOVE IT.”

9ALLABOUT TEACHERS
Early teachers told of the large enrolments in the school with ages of the students ranging from
beginners to adults.
Reading materials were scarce except for a few books brought and shared by the pioneer families.
They also tell of writing stories for their students concerning experiences in the childrens’ own lives.
This was often done after a full day’s teaching and the preparations for the next day. It was their
duty to keep the fire burning and look after everyone’s welfare. Truly these pioneer teachers are to be
commended.
Lillian Nolan Mary Hunt Florence Tennant
As time marched on other trials too were faced. Students coming in from other countries, who could
neither understand the English language nor speak it, the frustrations and loneliness they experienced
in adjusting to a whole new way of life. Older students were often put in with primary ones
until they could cope at their own age level.
Marg Warren Velva Haney Marie Sorgard
Education in Alberta has always striven for the highest standards and many curriculum changes
were continually forced upon the teachers.
Bureaucracy grew and a deluge of forms started arriving at the school to be filled out for various
government departments. However teachers still managed to cope and school went on.
10
Many teachers became brides and continued to live in this area. Some of these are; Mary
(Anderson) Hunt, Lillian (Kane) Nolan, Clara (King) Kane, Edna (Blackmore) Tennant, Florence
(Church) Tennant, Marie (Cameron) Sorgard, Margaret (Annable) Warren, Velva (Noble) Haney,
Ann (Maier) Haney, Louise (Linders) Reiter, Ina (Scholten) Stronks.
Former students who came back to teach here are; Helen (McDonald) Douglas, Bessie (Nolan)
Baldwin, Eulalia (Wright) Johnson, Velva (Noble) Haney, Evelyn (Tamayose) Nishima, Linda
(Noble) Tamura.
Louise (Linders) Reiter Ann (Maier) Haney
Ken Bride, Marg Warren, Joyce Jorgensen, Jim Asplund
Evelyn (Tamayose) Nishima
Linda (Noble) Tamura
Teachers who almost became permanent fixtures were Ken
Bride, Jim Asplund, Margaret Warren and Joyce Jorgensen. These
four teachers spent a total of 77 years in the Huntsville School.

WEATHER WISE
The weather has played a big part in the lives of the people over the years. When Huntsville first opened
children had a Fall Term and a Spring Term. No school was held during the latter part of December,
January and February. School started the first of March and carried on right through the summer until the
middle of December, ending with the Christmas Concert.
Children were bundled up on very cold days and traveled in a sleigh or buggy across the country to
school. They often left before dawn and arrived home about dusk. Some who lived nearer the school rode
horseback or walked but many recall frozen faces, hands and feet, followed by chillblains. Teachers and
older students held snow on the frozen spots to let them thaw out more slowly because at that time
everyone thought that was best.
Black blizzards as well as winter blizzards were not uncommon. Parents would often go with horses and
sleigh or wagon through these storms to pick up the children and head for home when the storm subsided.
A few times children were kept several hours before it was safe to start home.
Summer days often brought problems too as school carried on during the heat of July and August. The
heat, mosquitos and flies bothered both children and horses.
Children kept up their spirits by enjoying the different activities of the seasons: sliding or skating on the
ice patches near the school, building snow forts or snowballing in winter; snaring gophers, playing marbles,
pump, pump pullaway, hop scotch, prisoner’s base, football and baseball, in nice weather.
Problems concerning the weather grew less as time went on. The first buses, commonly called bread
wagons, were half-ton trucks covered over, with a small window cut in each side and a door at the back. In
the place of seats a narrow bench went around the inside walls. You were very crowded, couldn’t watch the
road, the air became stale, so many stomachs were upset, but at least in a short time you were at school.
Sometimes everyone had to get out and push the bus out of the snow or mud as you traveled on dirt roads.
Some of the first buses were painted red and they were driven by the fathers who took turns by the week or
month. Now with paved or gravelled roads, weather warnings, and modern heated buses, the problems
are few.

Each June after classes and exams are over, and students and teachers are gone, I spend a few days issuing Progress Reports and reviewing final marks. The quietness of the school at that time gives me a chance to think back over the year and as I do so, certain highlights stand out.
As I look at the marks, I see over and over again the evidence of hard work and success on the part of both students and teachers and this causes me great satisfaction and pride. However, I also see much evidence of lack of success and I am maddened at the thought of the trouble and pain that this represents. At such a time, I renew my resolve to try to help these and all students in whatever ways the school can to improve their chances of success.
When I think back over all the activities and also the day-to-day life of the school, I am deeply gratified by the many examples I can remember of the students' goodness to each other. In spite of numerous failings, I know of many instances where students have shown kindness and feelings of friendship and concern beautifully expressed in the written work of some of our Grade 9 students. At such times, we see the best that is in us, and we thank God.
My sincere good wishes to each of you and especially to the graduates of 1977.

The Cougars were faced with a rebuilding season with only 3 returnees from last year's team: Tim Gross, Captain; Kim Prindle and Raniero Zucco. Although the Cougars, under sophomore coach Slavich, had only a fair win/loss record, this in no way indicated the brand of basketball the Cougars played. The Cougars had the best defence in the league allowing the fewest points scored against. The Cougars play a very respectable brand of basketball.

This past season, the Catholic Central's Cheetahs won the consolation prize in the city finals. Despite the fact that we lost, I feel we were still winners in a different sense. The friendships made and the laughs shared as a group are certainly far more important than any trophy earned for Catholic Central. If the team continues on next year, with a coach as good as the last, I am sure that the Cheetahs will capture the city title. Good luck to them.

I'm leaving with a tear in my eye,

The road ahead is one that we will surely meet. A future before the eyes of a stranger.
To put us in a place where there is no retreat, And to give a smile,
At the people we greet.

Will I ever see your face again? So I won't say good-bye,
But a small little smile,
To say, "I'll see you 'round!"

Good-bye for now.

Good Evening ladies, gentlemen, teachers, guest speakers, and fellow graduates.
This evening my fellow graduates and I are encountering a major turning point in our lives. Our graduation day has finally arrived. The long awaited "gateway to the future" is finally upon us. Today, in this important symbolic ritual we are turned over into the world.
No longer will we be pampered. In a short time we will start to make our own decisions.
Many choices face us, and, hopefully our twelve years of formal schooling will enable us to make the right ones.
We must be thankful to all of those people who helped us in our school years. Among these are our teachers who have not only attempted to instill the basic concepts of academic subjects in us but they have also added a little bit of their personality into each of us. They have helped enormously in our development with their leadership and dedication to their profession. Here at CCH I have never had a teacher who did not seem totally committed to his or her students. Parents have also been a tremendous aid in our lives. They have provided us with the guidance we needed when we were smaller and they still help us over rough times now. Without them our life up to this point would have been a lot harder. Friends are the third group of people who have contributed to our lives. They have played a large role in our social development and, to a lesser degree, performed the task of setting examples for others to follow. The final important contributor to our lives is the church and all the priests involved in our local parishes. They have provided us with spiritual guidance. Their Christian attitude has made better people out of all of us.
Of these four contributors to our development, next to our parents, the school has probably played the largest part. Not only has it taught us academically, but it has also overlapped into the fields the others cover. It's spiritual and social guidance has been second to none. An example of the great training we have received here is our high school athletic program. Quality coaches like Mr. Delbello and Mr. Slavich have enabled CCH to have the defending Southern Alberta High School Football League champions and very competitive basketball teams. Our school is competitive at all levels in both boys' and girls' athletics. This excellent record is carried over into other areas of Catholic Central. For example, our drama department recently placed first in the Southern Alberta one- act drama festival with their production of "The Shock of Recognition". One could go on for hours listing achievements of people from this school but time does not permit. We have succeeded in everything from cheerleading to water polo. To all of those people who helped in these activities, I believe a special word of thanks is due.
When we look back on our years at Catholic Central we remember many things. There are the good times and the bad, the happy times and the sad, and even times we wished we were somewhere else. But that's all behind us now. That's the beauty of graduation. It's like starting anew. Past records mean nothing. After grade twelve it's our potential for the future that really counts.
As we complete this final year of high school many reactions are stirred within us. For some of us leaving school is a sad experience, others find graduation to be an overdue experience and relish the thought of being on their own while still another group remains indifferent. No matter which group each of us falls into, I am sure he or she will always look back to this time fondly. Sooner or later we will all feel the same way - sad to leave high school, yet anxious to meet the challenge of the future.
Regardless cf our present attitudes, graduation will always remain indelibly etched on our minds as the turning point in our lives. Today, the future becomes now. What seemed so far away is now upon us. Now that we are almost to the critical point in our future most of us have begun to withdraw in fear of the unknown, afraid to venture off into new worlds. We'd rather rest on our past laurels than be forced to build new ones.
I think we're being paranoid with fears like this. Contrary to popular belief, the world is not out to get us. They're on our side. Instead of withdrawing ourselves in doubt we should move on confidently and adapt ourselves to these new worlds. That's why we went to school for twelve years. Our education has been a preparation.
I'd like to close with a few words to my fellow graduates. Let's not let our fears overcome our hopes. If we give everything that we try in future years our best shot, I'm sure we can succeed just as we have in the past twelve.

Explorations of structure and choice in taxing capital gains: New Zealand tax experts' perspectives
This study explores the key issues, aspects, and attributes concerning capital gains tax (CGT) to enable the formulation of policy guidelines that might be used if a CGT were considered in New Zealand. It contends that the development of the New Zealand’s policy on taxing capital gains has continued in a somewhat ad hoc and inconsistent fashion. The lack of a uniform approach to capital gains taxation has resulted in detailed, but complex, legislation which leads to “policy inconsistencies and unintended incentives built into the tax structure” (Oliver, 2001, pp. 80 – 81). The study bridges the divide between theoretical analysis of CGT and implementation issues on operating a CGT. It attempts to address one primary research question and an associated secondary question. The primary research question is: should capital gains be taxed more comprehensively than at present? As a start, it examines the two important issues surrounding income definition and the capital/income distinction. In this regard, the research first attempts to identify the definition(s) of capital gains from the New Zealand perspective(s). This is followed by investigating the key areas of the tax system in order to seek the best way of taxing capital gains. This study also attempts to address the secondary research question, i.e., why (or why not) do the tax experts favour (or oppose) a comprehensive CGT? In this respect, this study identifies 23 factors/issues that are related to the tax experts’ attitudes towards a particular form of a CGT model (i.e., current hybrid approach, a realisation-based CGT or an accrual-based CGT). A mixed-methods design has been adopted in this study involving both a quantitative (survey) and a qualitative (interview) method in analysing the data to determine the tax experts’ overall perceptions of a CGT in New Zealand and the CGT adoption factors which influenced them. One important finding of the comparative analyses was that all tax experts generally agreed that the lack of a comprehensive CGT could provide more significant tax planning opportunities. However, many tax experts did not support the comprehensive income concept as they disagreed with the benefits derived from the gains in horizontal equity through adopting a CGT. This study has identified several important policy issues and reviewed their implication for the adoption of a CGT in New Zealand. The finding of the study revealed that the tax experts strongly supported the exemption of the gains on disposal of a taxpayer’s main residence and the tax preference for inflation adjustment. Another important policy issue is the implementation of an accrual-based CGT. Most tax experts considered a realisation-based CGT would be better than an accrual one. In particular, they were concerned about the liquidity problems and the compliance costs involved in an accrual-based CGT regime i.e., the annual valuation of all assets. These findings represent a first step towards a theoretical CGT framework. It is hoped that the knowledge gained in this study would give a greater understanding into the practical decision-making process that could result in a better public acceptance for a tax reform
