FRANCIS BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTAPRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS 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. REVEREND G. T. GREGOIRE, C. S.

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.

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 Paul Tardif Associate Editor John Stengl Advertising Manager 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.

Zezulka. 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 P. Tardif, J. Stengl, D.

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.

    Echocardiography-based score to predict outcome after renal transplantation

    No full text
    Background: Given the high cardiac mortality of renal transplant recipients, identification of high-risk patients is important to offer appropriate treatment before transplantation.Aim: To determine patients with high mortality after renal transplantation despite selection according to current criteria.Methods: Preoperative parameters were collected from 203 renal transplant recipients over a follow-up time of 3.6 (1.9) years. The primary end point was all-cause mortality.Results: 22 deaths (11%) and 12 cardiac failures (6%) were observed. Non-survivors were older (p0.001), had larger left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVSD) (p0.001) and end-diastolic diameter (p = 0.002), and lower ejection fraction (p0.001). Left ventricular mass index (p = 0.001), maximal wall thickness (p = 0.006) and the proportion with mitral annular calcification (p = 0.001) were significantly higher in the non-survivors. The risk factors for ischaemic heart disease and exercise test data were not significantly different between the two groups. Four independent predictors of mortality after renal transplantation were identified: age 50 years (p = 0.002), LVESD 3.5 cm (p = 0.002), maximal wall thickness 1.4 cm (p = 0.014) and mitral annular calcification (p = 0.036). The 5-year survival estimates for 0, 1, 2 and 3 prognostic factors were 96%, 86%, 69% and 38%, respectively. No patient had four prognostic factors. In patients 50 years, the 5-year survival estimates for 0, 1 and 2 additional prognostic factors were 73%, 45% and 18%, respectively.Conclusion: In addition to selection according to current guidelines, age and three conventional echocardiography parameters may further improve risk stratification before renal transplantation.Abbreviations: LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVESD, left ventricular end-systolic diamete

    The monastic patronage of King Henry II in England, 1154-1189

    No full text
    The subject of this study is Henry II’s monastic patronage in England 1154-1189. Past studies have examined aspects of Henry II’s patronage but an in-depth survey of Henry’s support of the religious houses throughout his realm has never been completed. This study was therefore undertaken to address modern notions that Henry’s monastic patronage lacked obvious patterns and medieval notions that the motivations behind his patronage were vague. The thesis seeks to illustrate that Henry’s motivations for patronage may not have been driven by piety but rather influenced by a sense of duty and tradition. This hypothesis is supported by examining and analyzing both the chronology and nature of Henry’s patronage. This thesis has integrated three important sources to assess Henry’s patronage: chronicles, charters, and Pipe Rolls. The charters and Pipe Rolls have been organized into two fully searchable databases. The charters form the core of the data and allow for analysis of the recipients of the king’s patronage as well as the extent of his favour. The Pipe Rolls provide extensive evidence of many neglected aspects of Henry’s patronage, enhancing, and sometimes surpassing, the charter data. The sources have allowed an examination of Henry’s patronage through gifts of land and money rents, privileges, pardons and non-payment of debt, confirmations and intervention in disputes. The value, geography and chronology of this patronage is discussed throughout the thesis as well as the different religious orders that benefited and the influences Henry’s predecessors and family had upon the king. Quantitative analysis has been included where possible. Henry II was a steady patron throughout his reign and remained cautious with his favour. He maintained many of the benefactions of his predecessors but was not an enthusiastic founder of new monasteries in England. There is no sign that neither the killing of Thomas Becket, nor the approach of Henry’s own death, had a marked effect on his patronage

    A translation and edition of the Sacrorum Parallelorum Liber Primus of Franciscus Junius : a study in sixteenth century hermeneutics

    No full text
    In his preface to the Sacrorum Parallelorum Libri Tres, Junius expresses the confidence that, if he has not attained the goal in writing the book which he yearned to achieve, he has at least pointed out to others the way of proving more successful. As the first monograph on the use of the Old Testament in the New, the Sacri Paralleli opened up new exegetical territory into which hosts of explorers and, indeed, settlers have since moved. The earlier scouts in this region often remind us that they are travelling in the pioneering footsteps of Franciscus Junius. Thus, Andreas Kesler in the seventeenth century makes use of the Sacri Paralleli, as does the great Surenhusius of Amsterdam in the eighteenth century. Even as recently as a hundred years ago Eduard Bdhl, in the historical introduction to his own dissertation on the Old Testament citations in the New Testament, wrote: "Dass ein Mann wie Franciscus Junius, welcher mit Tremellius das berühmte lateinische Bibelwerk herausgab, viel Gutes bietet, lasst sich erwarten". Yet, more recent surveys of past literature on the bi-testamental passages omit any mention of the original spade-work in the field. Ellis, for example, begins his summary of "the more direct study of NT quotations" with the notes which Drusius wrote around 1594. No account of such research, however, can justly pass over the thorough work of Franciscus Junius. Some have considered it, with good reason, the most important book of one of the most influential exegetes in the Age of Orthodoxy. As Cuno observes, the Sacri Paralleli were truly epoch-making in the history of exegesis. The present study of the Sacrorum Parallelorum Liber Primus begins with a rather full account of the life of Junius for two reasons. First, there is no delineation of his life available in English longer than the brief article in the New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge. Secondly, the life of Junius not only is very interesting, but also sheds much light on the rationale of the Sacri Paralleli. There follow discussions of this rationale, the history of the Sacri Paralleli and the various editions, and the hermeneutical principles employed by Junius in the Liber Primus. In the course of his investigation of the several editions of the Sacri Paralleli, the author has examined all copies of the book which he could locate in the public repositories of Scotland and so hopes that his treatment may prove useful to the rare book librarians of the collections concerned. The translation of the Liber Primus was executed on the basis of the first folio edition (1607) of the works of Junius, this printing being a reliable, specimen of the text and the earliest copy available in the Library of the University of St Andrews. Some minor textual corruptions, however, in the 1607 edition have been corrected on the basis of the original edition of 1588. Likewise, the Biblical and patristic citations which appeared in the margins of the original edition have been noted as marginal references here, rather than being into the text in the manner of the folio editions (which sometimes match these citations to the wrong, sentences in the text). The translation here, nevertheless, follows the paragraph divisions of the folio printings, since such divisions are so few in the original edition. The third volume of this dissertation contains several pertinent appendices: The first is a photographic copy of the specimen of the original edition of the Sacrorum Parallelorum Liber Primus in the possession of the Library of New College, Edinburgh. Mention has been made in the course of this appendix if a note relating to a given page occurs in the "Errata", listed at the end of the copy of the Sacri Paralleli used here. Copies of the 1607 printing of the Sacri Paralleli are available in so many British libraries that to provide a copy of the Liber Primus of that edition here would be superfluous. The second appendix is a photographic copy of the "Praefatio" to the Sacri Paralleli (New Col- lege specimen again). The Roman numeral at the bottom of each page has been supplied here to facilitate reference to this "Praefatio" in the course of this study. There follows an annotated translation of the "Praefatio"

    Circuits and systems for CW and pulsed high-field electron spin resonance

    No full text
    This thesis is concerned with the design and realisation of components for a new state of the art 94GHz Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectrometer capable of operating in both pulsed and CW modes. The complete spectrometer is designed to provide phase coherent 1kW peak power sub-nanosecond π/2 pulses having variable duration and repetition rate. The mm-wave response of a paramagnetic sample to these pulses is detected with a superheterodyne detector. Such a system would offer a step change in performance, promising unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. These aims should be compared with the performance of commercial (Bruker) instruments capable of delivering 200mW 30ns π/2 pulses. For this type of system, both the long term (thermal) and short term (phase) stability of oscillators and sources employed are extremely important. Consideration of phase noise, frequency, tunability and power output shows that multiplied sources offer substantial benefits compared to fundamental sources. A delay line discriminator method of phase noise measurement, suitable for use with the low frequency oscillators is described and implemented. This is extended to 94GHz using a down convertor with a quasi-optically stabilised Gunn oscillator. These tools are used to select an optimum oscillator-multiplier combination to produce a low noise 94GHz source. Anew method of pulse generation, which has produced +23dBm peak power 250ps rectangular and 115ps Gaussian envelope phase coherent pulses, is described. These are believed to be the shortest phase coherent pulses at 94GHz available. This system will be used to provide ns pulses suitable for amplification to 1kW using a Klystron amplifier. A heterodyne detector has been constructed which employs the same oscillator/multiplier techniques identified above to produce the required local oscillator signal. It is demonstrated that by careful consideration of multiplication factors a system employing one variable and one fixed oscillator allows all the signals required in the spectrometer to maintain phase coherence.

    BACKGROUND: Tandem repeat variation in protein-coding regions will alter protein length and may introduce frameshifts. Tandem repeat variants are associated with variation in pathogenicity in bacteria and with human disease. We characterized tandem repeat polymorphism in human proteins, using the UniGene database, and tested whether these were associated with host defense roles. RESULTS: Protein-coding tandem repeat copy-number polymorphisms were detected in 249 tandem repeats found in 218 UniGene clusters; observed length differences ranged from 2 to 144 nucleotides, with unit copy lengths ranging from 2 to 57. This corresponded to 1.59% (218/13,749) of proteins investigated carrying detectable polymorphisms in the copy-number of protein-coding tandem repeats. We found no evidence that tandem repeat copy-number polymorphism was significantly elevated in defense-response proteins (p = 0.882). An association with the Gene Ontology term 'protein-binding' remained significant after covariate adjustment and correction for multiple testing. Combining this analysis with previous experimental evaluations of tandem repeat polymorphism, we estimate the approximate mean frequency of tandem repeat polymorphisms in human proteins to be 6%. Because 13.9% of the polymorphisms were not a multiple of three nucleotides, up to 1% of proteins may contain frameshifting tandem repeat polymorphisms. CONCLUSION: Around 1 in 20 human proteins are likely to contain tandem repeat copy-number polymorphisms within coding regions. Such polymorphisms are not more frequent among defense-response proteins; their prevalence among protein-binding proteins may reflect lower selective constraints on their structural modification. The impact of frameshifting and longer copy-number variants on protein function and disease merits further investigation

    Pre-validation methods for developing a patient reported outcome instrument

    Background: Measures that reflect patients' assessment of their health are of increasing importance as outcome measures in randomised controlled trials. The methodological approach used in the pre-validation development of new instruments (item generation, item reduction and question formatting) should be robust and transparent. The totality of the content of existing PRO instruments for a specific condition provides a valuable resource (pool of items) that can be utilised to develop new instruments. Such 'top down' approaches are common, but the explicit pre-validation methods are often poorly reported. This paper presents a systematic and generalisable 5-step pre-validation PRO instrument methodology. Methods: The method is illustrated using the example of the Aberdeen Glaucoma Questionnaire (AGQ). The five steps are: 1) Generation of a pool of items; 2) Item de-duplication (three phases); 3) Item reduction (two phases); 4) Assessment of the remaining items' content coverage against a pre-existing theoretical framework appropriate to the objectives of the instrument and the target population (e.g. ICF); and 5) qualitative exploration of the target populations' views of the new instrument and the items it contains. Results: The AGQ 'item pool' contained 725 items. Three de-duplication phases resulted in reduction of 91, 225 and 48 items respectively. The item reduction phases discarded 70 items and 208 items respectively. The draft AGQ contained 83 items with good content coverage. The qualitative exploration ('think aloud' study) resulted in removal of a further 15 items and refinement to the wording of others. The resultant draft AGQ contained 68 items. Conclusions: This study presents a novel methodology for developing a PRO instrument, based on three sources: literature reporting what is important to patient; theoretically coherent framework; and patients' experience of completing the instrument. By systematically accounting for all items dropped after the item generation phase, our method ensures that the AGQ is developed in a transparent, replicable manner and is fit for validation. We recommend this method to enhance the likelihood that new PRO instruments will be appropriate to the research context in which they are used, acceptable to research participants and likely to generate valid data
