PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
This is not the president's message I wanted to print. The president's message I wanted to print was to my fellow
graduates ... a kind of "take care of yourself, ya hear". But then the editors of this book didn't want that as a
president's message. "Tell us what council is going to do this year", they said. So even though this is really the
editors' message I'm still president and I'm writing it, so it's a president's message (I think).
Although we've got some objectives, one dance per month, and graduation, we can hardly say that will happen,
mainly because we don't know what the students want to do. Our purpose after all, is to serve the students and hopefully
make them say thirty years from now, "Yup, old Myers School was a pretty good place back in 77-78".
So, that's my president's - editors' - president's message. Don't look for a sequel.
Tom Gillespie
P.S. "Take care of yourself, ya hear."

JR. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
JUNIOR PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
We, the junior council, are responsible for giving the students an enjoyable
school year. Arranging social activities, dress-up days, and assemblies
is mostly on our hands. We, however, can only produce these activities;
you, the students and teachers, must take part. Having a good year means
participation by both students and teachers. Activities such as dances, basketball
games, and other sports may seem only for the benefit of the students,
but are for the teachers as well.
Dress-up days include both teachers and students to develop our school
spirit. As you can see, one of our major goals is to unite the students and
teachers through various activities. We believe if the teachers and students
can be together socially, they can get along better in school, and have a
happier and more rewarding school year.

SWEETHEART PROM
The Sweetheart Prom, probably the most significant event of the junior high year, took place on Feb. 27. W. R.
Myers Disco provided the music until 9:15 when the big moment arrived. Sheri Parker, a grade 9 student, was
chosen as Sweetheart Queen, and as she walked down the aisle, followed by her two princesses, it was evident that
she was very happy.

A total of twelve girls
tried out for the basketball
team this year. Our
coach, Mr. Anderson,
gave us encouragement
when we needed it and
by the end of the season,
everyone had improved
tremendously. We won
more than half of our
games and consistently
gave our opponents a
good fight. Next year
promises to be an even
better season for the

DIVISIONAL CHAMPS
jr. high basketball
This year, the Jr. High
Boys' basketball team was
coached by Dave Nelson.
The team had a 2 win, 4
loss record in regular season
play and competed in
2 tournaments, hosting one
at Myers and traveling to
Hamilton Jr. High for the
other. The 1978 season was
a rebuilding year as there
were only two grade 9 boys
on the squad. We are optimistic
about a strong
team for next year.

Brooks, and emerged victorious. In
Myers' Invitational tourney, which included
teams from Raymond, Brooks, and St.
Mary's, our team captured third place and
Peggy Williams was awarded "Most Valuable

Myers finally beat Barnwell (the team that
they had previously lost 2 games to) to become
the Divisional Champs for 1978.

Myers' Ski Club enjoyed a very successful year this season, with an
increase in members to 47, and SNOW in the mountains for a change.
The club kicked off its season with fund raising campaigns in the fall.
It ran a concession for the post-season volleyball tourney, catered to
a staff luncheon, and held a bake sale. As we decided to go in style
this year, we said "No" to the Community Club bus and travelled via
Greyhound to Fernie in December and January for one day trips. We
wound up the season with a super weekend trip to Kimberley and Fernie
in March. Highlights of the year:
- Mr. C. got his new poles ripped off in Kimberly.
- Allan Mills "Man, this trip was a slice! ! "
- Craig Martens at top of Bear: "You've gotta be kidding! !"
- John Lothian after he fell and twisted his ankle: Awx! ! ??x! !

The Myers gymnastics club,
under the instruction of Del
Cleland, put in another season
this year. Though large in number
the club is not, its members
have a great deal of fun and at
the same time, learn a thing or
two. The goal is not necessarily
to develop skills for competition
but rather to develop strength and
muscle tone while at the same
time achieving gymnastic proficiency.
At the annual talent
night, the club demonstrated its
capabilities by performing on the
parallel bars.
The club operated from December
to April this year, and
will do the same next year,
hopefully with a few more members.

CHILDREN S THEATER
The success or failure of any drama class is directly related
to the attitude of the enrolled students. They must
be enthusiastic about the activities and be willing to work
co-operatively. This year's classes were of very high caliber
because the students were receptive to the precept
that; "You only get out of a drama class what you put into
it. " Their enthusiasm provided the kind of atmosphere
in which creativity flourished.
The pictures on this page were taken during a performance
at St. Mary's kindergarten. Myers drama students
have entertained hundreds of young students over the past
several years. Prospective students often ask the question,
"Will we be doing Children's Theater?" before deciding to
to enroll in the class or not. This attests to the popularity
of this kind of performance.
Two Myers drama students, Harvey Tams and Colleen
Arnett entered drama competitions in Taber and Edmonton.
Harvey took first place in local competition and both
competitors received high praise from the adjudicators in
Edmonton.
It was a good year!

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Mr. D. V. Kilback
Each school year brings new challenges to students and
staff, requiring fresh approaches to old problems, and a
revised perspective on essential goals.
We have struggled this year with development of course
objectives and evaluation plans, with more weighty final
exams, and a different budgetting system. The School Board
is holding regular meetings in the various schools, thus
enabling members to become more familiar with daily operations.
The cafeteria committee, under sponsorship of the senior
students council, is continuing to provide an effective and
satisfying service to the students and staff. We are anticipating
a substantial upgrading of the cafeteria facilities to further
improve this function.
Our extra-curricular scene has been very exciting and
impressive this year, with outstanding accomplishment in
sports, the fine arts and other activities. We appreciate all
the students, teachers and other persons who have assisted
with coaching and supervising various events during the year.
Our instructional program, with its breadth of academic and
vocational-type courses, need periodic assessment in terms of
value to students and congruence with school and community
objectives.
Again, thanks to our Yearbook Committee and their advisor,
Mr. Hart, for another quality production.

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
Principal
Wow! What a year! I chose "REBEL RESILIENCE" as the yearbook theme this year as I thought it was rather fitting given our
current 'COVID-1 9' situation. Some of you are already VERY RESILIENT, while others may feel like you are not. One thing is
for sure - you can always WORK on becoming MORE resilient.
Here are 10 ways you can work on becoming more resilient:
Have the courage to be imperfect
Take time for yourself
Sign up for that course, join that club
Be active every day in as many ways as you can
Spend time with people who make you feel good
Laugh out loud each day
Invite your neighbor (friend) over for a cup of tea (chat)
Do one thing now that you've been putting off
Focus more on things you can control
Remember, this too shall pass (~https://wayahead.org.au/get-the-facts/building-resilience/)
Thank you to all those who gave me a big smile (or at least didn't run away) when I put the camera in front of your face! I
apologize to those teams I missed getting photos of (that actually had the opportunity to play). Because this year is unlike any
other, I also decided to change up the color scheme from the traditional red/black/yellow! I would love some feedback on
this decision (love it/dislike it etc).
A huge shout-out to a stellar group of grade 9's who helped me with the yearbook in June (Madisen and Bryden O'Connor,
Kiernan Gyepesi, Will Evanson, Madison Reid, Heston Bevans and Allen Clements). Thank you specifically to Bryden O'Connor
for creating the color graphic used throughout the yearbook.
Some of the quotes found through out the yearbook were from the survey you filled out in the spring, which in, most cases,
does not have the author information and therefore simply states the grade level the quote came from. All other quotes with
Author Unknown" were found online and in most cases didn't have any author information either. In any case, my hope is
that they will either put a smile on your face, make you go 'hmm' or possibly even take time to pause and reflect on the
message being shared. Enjoy! 5

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
Stage Bands were unable to
perform this year due to COVID,
but we were lucky enough to still
be able to play our instruments.
Vince Gassi, a composer from
Toronto, was commissioned by
the W.R. Myers Band Parent
Association to write a piece for
the Concert Band. The band
students met with Mr. Gassi via
Zoom in October to talk to him
about the piece and the writing
process. He completed the piece
for us in January and we began
working on it. Again the band
students met with Mr. Gassi on
Zoom for him to listen to us play
and give feedback. But
unfortunately due to the COVID
restrictions, we were unable to
premier the piece. Hopefully,
next year we will be able to play

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

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.

Hypseleotris kimberleyensis Hoese and Allen
Hypseleotris kimberleyensis Hoese and Allen Barnett River Gudgeon With the exception of the outlying population of Hypseleotris kimberleyensis captured by Allen and Leggett (1990) in the Calder River, the species appears to be restricted to the Barnett River and Manning Creek in the upper Fitzroy River catchment (Fig. 43) (Allen & Allen 1998, Morgan et al. 2002, 2004a). This small, cryptic species is especially abundant at Manning Creek Gorge and Barnett River Gorge (Morgan et al. 2002, 2004a).Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1
