OUR PARENTS.� What do they mean to us? To them we owe the benefit of life, the care which they gave us in our tender years,the blessing ' of an ed¬ ucation which they have made possible for us. Our thanks go to our parents for their constant guidance and for their kind advice in seeing us through our troubles and mishaps with never- failing patience and understanding. They have been our councillors in our dark and doubting moments, never des- nairing at our new and ingenious methods of creating mischief. Their kind dis¬ ciplining has played a major role in shaping our characters and in develop¬ ing our personalities. Through all our anxieties, they have been our ever-lov¬ ing protectors. We should show deep gratitude to our parents for all that they have done for us. In spite of our failings, they have stood beside us, often at the price of great sacrifice. With this closing thought, CAN WE REPAY OUR PARENTS FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE? I would like to dedicate to them this issue of AURORA . Our Schools Read not to cendradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor t find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider —Francis Bacon 19 48 19 57 1956 (As the work, so the pay) ilk EB— r- m , nm I w 7 ■pi I of Vie VtmviUe Womc ft sii nces of £mploxj e $ f OttviA.lt AAoittt fcssi J vxce of ObloU ValKtv s coirt ' be (frtioevtft txlonce asiwa) $Wotnen fr. acijtnb s n uionce Eastward Wooutaenthr. lacomb st. Albert parish Fortunately, the great majority of our young people seem eager and wtil¬ ing to seize the many opportunities to improve themselves and to secure a sound ed¬ ucation. However, to those who seem to lack drive, who are lukewarm or even indif¬ ferent, I should like to pose some questions. Have you really ever made a serious effort to select a goal in life? Do you ever consider how you will spend those long years after you leave school? Do you see any real connection between what you learn in school and the vocation in which you will make your living? Possibly you come to school because of pressure from your parents, or from force of habit. If this is the situation, you are much like a scrap of paper at the mer¬ cy of vagrant winds or a piece of wood which drifts with the tides. You lack pur¬ pose, a sense of direction. Now a word of encouragement. Frequently students who for years have been merely going through the motions suddenly appear to awaken, especially during the second and third years of highschool. The grip of lazy work habits is very strong, yet some students have been able to rid themselves of their shackles and turn out reasonably good work. I suspect in many cases the person begins to grow up, takes a more mature view of the workaday world, and decides that a sound education is ir deed a good investment. Select a goal in life, and then take the proper steps to achieve it 1 rito� oi% This year ' s Aurora makes its appearance in an atmosphere of development apd change. When your Editor ' s invitation to write a few lines reached me, I had just read a nevspape article in which the prediction is made that St. Albert will grow into a modern metropolitan satellite with a population of twenty to twenty five thousand persons . One cannot read such reports without wondering what the effects of this development will be upon the lives of the boys and girls now in your school. Last year, on the Dedication page, the Editor stated that The expansion of the Town and the School makes us look, not only into the future, but also into the past . I should like to express the hope that St. Albert students will cultiv¬ ate this habit of retrospection. In a time of rapid expansion, such as your commun¬ ity is now entering, it is easy, especially for young people, to become so engrossed with plans for the future that no time is left for thoughts of the past. This, I think, is always regrettable. But in a community such as yours, whose history con¬ tains so many examples of simple, God-fearing heroism, the effects could be disas¬ trous. What sort of place will the future St. Albert be? Will it be a community in which the solid virtues of faith and labour which characterized its founders still predominate? Or will these virtues be submerged by the materialism which, alas, so often accompanies the so-called progress of modern civilization? The stud¬ ents whose names appear in this issue of Aurora may well have important parts to play in deciding the answers to these questions. In his message of 1957, Father Tardif wrote, Not only have you to walk in the footsteps of the pioneers, but you have also to surpass them, to set your goal higher. . This is a tremendous challenge. In your endeavours to meet it, do not neglect the inspirations of the past. If you look closely enough, you will find there truths and values which will carry you safely through all the vicissitudes of 1 he future. Another term, anotner graduation, another yearbook, another thought l The Yearbook is dedicated to your parents. How they deserve it l We begin tc understand our parents when we are grown up; then it is too late to avoid our sorrow for years of thoughtlessness. This you don ' t understand. You will in thirty or forty years when you r own burning tears, your destroying worries your flaming pride in your children will have taught you the cost of bringing a child to adulthood with little co-operation, little gratitude, and little love from him. It will be too late then for your parents to enjoy the fruit of their devotion and too early for you to reap in total joy the result of the efforts given to make oj your children the honest citizens, the strong Christians you wanted them to be; not always will the success be all that was hoped for. Good parents are the greatest gift of God. Not understanding them is a weak¬ ness of the intelligence, not co-operating with them a softness of the will, not loving them a paralysis of the heart, not profiting by their advice, their care, their sane ambition for your betterment is a waste of the grace of God. How many, even amongst the best are deeply grieved for not having made the most of the treasure of wisdom, the wealth of attention showered upon them by their parents l Now that age has taught them to know better, they would like to make up for their neglect, their rebellions, their indifference, hut it is too late: the father whose hand they wish to press, the mother they would love to hold in their arms, is gone forever. All that remains is the wound in the heart of the thought¬ less childrenj they themselves are the cause of their own sorrow. Don ' t sow regrets for the futurejlove your parents and tell them that you love them and prove it by greater attention to their wishes, by a steady exertion in your work, by trying to live up to their dreams for you. i It takes so little to fill the parents ' begging hearts with joy l Do not refuse it. Pay them, in part, your immense debt .of gratitude. 5ar Friends: With the passing of another school year you must, no doubt, find your- jjves pondering reminiscently upon things past; memories pleasant, others embarras- Lng, challenges faced, and challenges evaded; achievements won, and disappointments idured. It is not unhealthy to look backwards. Sometimes it is in so doing that 5 are able to see ourselves more clearly, recognizing both our capabilities and our Imitations. Observing yourselves in retrospect you may all reach the common con- Lusion that you are better equipped to meet the coming year than you were to meet e past one. This is the hope and prayer of your senior partners in this community. An even greater legacy resulting from thoughts directed to the pest is se motivation—ever coercive—to look ahead. Those cf you vhc are graduating pert- cularly must experience this inspiration. Is it presumptuous to feel that until 3w you have, for the most part, been on the receiving end of the gifts of know- sdge, lessons of experience, concern, consideration, and love? I do not think so. ad these gifts, as all of life, are not to be stored away and treasured. They are o be nurtured, multiplied and propagated amongst your fellow men. To whom much-is iven of him will much be required 11 . (Luke XII: 4?) May I echo the hopes of your Valedictorian cf last year. May you meet tils challenge of sharing all the talents you possess as responsible citizens and sdicated Chri stians • , Student Minister, St. Albert United Church n a letter to the Editor, Mr. Mayberry makes the following comment: ear Edward: I am enclosing a brief message for your Yearbook. Thank you for the op- ortunity of addressing a few words to the students of St. Albert. I am sorry that I do not have a suitable photograph to enclose. I ac une the students will not feel seriously deprived l clminiAtr tion Holding the position of Yearbook iditor has seen some of the happiest loments of the year. A person gets a jreat feeling of accomplishment at look- ng through the layouts which he has lelped to perfect. Not only has this jork been a pleasure to me, but it has jiven me valuable experience which I sould not have obtained elsewhere or )therwise. When September of 1957 came, I had never dreamed that I was to be the co- editor of our yearbook, AURORA . Little did I realize at first what a fund of interest such a position has for a stud¬ ent. Working at the yearbook has become one of my main interests. Although there was some exacting work, there was always a great deal of fun to be derived in see ing the yearbook grow to maturity. My appreciation goes to my co-ed- Ltor, Reginald La Rocque; to our photo¬ grapher, Harold Cuts; to our treasurer, Claire Leonard; to our ads solicitors, Louise Comeau, Melba McDonald, Simonne Lafranchise, Lorraine Macmillan, and Ed- nund Bunyanj to our typists. Sister Pi- juette, Bernadette Ouimet, Phyllis Soe- baert, and Doreen Veness; to our artists Sister St. Germain, Sister Gaumont, Now- 311 Hinch, and Fred Richardson; to Bob Burton for the errands he ran for us. A special word of gratitude and praise goes to Sister Cote ' , for, with¬ out her help and direction, we would have been bogged down from the very be- ginning. Mr. Maloney, our principal, de¬ serves our thanks fcr all his whole¬ hearted encouragement. For the opportunity that they have given me, I would like to forward my heartfelt thanks to the student body of St. Albert High School. The best way in which I can do this is to offer them this issue of AUROFA . It has been the ambition of the whole yearbook staff this year, to make the yearbook bigger and better. Bigger it certainly is, and we hope it is bet¬ ter. The inclusion of more pictures of the elementary and junior high school grades should broaden its appeal. The parents and students, we feel assured, will find this innovation interesting . We have also included pictures of many extra-curricular events. I wish to thank all the members of the yearbook staff, especially Sister Cote, our staff representative, whose help and encouragement were the means of our issuing such a voluminous publica¬ tion. My gratitude goes also to Edward Martyna, our Editor, whose resourceful¬ ness helped us all along. In closing, I wish to thank all the students who have purchased this edition of ’ ' AURORA and hope it will bring you a great deal of enjoyment now and in future years. fa tfrc uSL.

President, First Term We are quickly approaching the ter¬ mination of another school year. Some of us will return to the grindstone next year again, while others will be leaving to fulfil the tasks they have outlined for themselves. I truly hope that we choose the right vocation when our turn comes to face the world. One of the important features of the StuSents ' Union meetings during this term comprised series of slides shown to us by four different people : Brother Bcnaventure, professor of History at the University of Alberta, Mrs. Miciak, one of our Grade IX teachers,Miss Wolniewicz one of our Grade I teachers, and Harold Cuts, a Grade X student. We enjoyed seeing these slides as tney made us wan¬ der with these people through Europe and through the United States. I should like to thank Mrs. Blair for her expert guidance of the Students ' Union. To the whole student body, a hearty Thank you for the co-operation shown. It was a pleasure to be president during this second term. President, Second Term STUDENTS’ UNION EXECUTIVE FIRST TERM BACK ROW ?

We shall think of our friends and teachers all nd wonder what was their duty call. But glancing ahead now with hopeful looks, To the day we at last lay aside our books. Would it hurt to guess how the students hoped, Then in fifteen years see how close we groped? The grade twelve room was a jovial thing, And we really enjoyed our one last fling. In June we left the dear old school To face new people and a brand new rule. aNNE MARIE BLAIR heads for higher halls. To the teaching profession her talent calls; She ' ll be a success In her chosen life; May the lord grant her peace and never strife.

ROBERT BURTON, a world of fun, Keeps everyone laughing, misses never a one; His plans for the future at the moment are hazy; He ' s sure to succeed, for our Bob ' s never lazy. SISTER GAUKONT is the favorite of all; In music and art her gifts are not small; We often envy her talent with pen. And hope she ' ll remember us now and then.

SISTER PIQUETTE is a good friend to all; She has a big heart, though she ' s not very tall. We ' ll all miss our Sister with the happy smile And think often of her in the next great mile. WINNONA ROGERS is our poetess dear, In English and math her thinking is clear. To be a doctor is her great ambition; To work for that goal she has the volition. Piano and voice are CAMERON ROSS ' interests, He ' s clever in school, never failing his tests; He also for university will be headed. And greet the new life which others have dreaded. SISTER ST.

That was our class, a small one indeed, But quality made up for quantity ' s need. We ' ll miss our teachers and comrades all. In the years to come we shall all recall The joys, the sorrows, the heartaches, and tears, But they ' ll make good memories in future years. Thanks to all who have helped us along; The remembrance of them will always be strong. ody - Fender Cr General Repairs 1 TO ALL MAKES OF CARS $T. ALBERT GARAGE 1 IMPERIAL OIL PRODUCTS A. B.

Why did the good Lord plan my birth? Why did He put me upon this earth? Why do I answer His frequent call? Why did He artfully plan the fall To succeed the winter ' s chilly cold? Why does everyone have to grow old? Why does He watch over the helpless ones? Why did He carefully place the sun In the same old place through every day? Or is that just His special way? Why did the Lord give me eyes to see All of His beauties from grass to tree? Why is there spring time for the flowers? And why is there April for the showers? Why does the sun come out after rain? Why does the grass dry off again? Why did He make the stars so bright To glimmer and shine through the darkest night? Why are the grass and trees so green? The loveliest colors that I have seen. Why does He cover the ground with snow? Why does He help things start to grow? Why does He make us as we are? I ' m sure that we could be different by far. Why is there conflict, wars, and strife? Why do some want to take a life? Why are some bad while others are good? Why do they not do as they should? Why are some white while others are brown? Why does He never let us fall down? What is there that makes life seem worth-while? How do you turn a frown into a smile? How do we know the passage of time? How am I able to make this rhyme? Why have you a body, and brains in your head? Where do you go when at last you are dead? What are we doing and why are we here? Why do we stay here year after year? And tho’l ' ve asked many who don ' t have a clue I ' m sure I could ask the same thing of you. Winnona Rogers—XII p. oemS STAR OF THE NORTH Not a sparkling star in the Milky Way, But yet a star shining night and day} To a great many souls it has served as guide To find their path to the other Side. When days are grey and in vain you try To go your way with your head held high} For the light of peace for which you look forth, Why not head straight fop the Star of the North ? There your soul will find in a good retreat Contentment sweet, which will he a treat. And to all your friends you’ll be glad to say That the Star of the North has brightened your way. Sister Lorraine Fiquette — XII WINTER PRELUDE Snow fell today. Sifting drowsily from sky it came. Silently and without warning, To sleep on naked tree and faded earth. Tree shimmered in her ermine coat. And gave to passer-by a haughty glance, While tiny diamonds from her garment fell To earth to join their kin. And brook had lost her youthful voice, For gurgling words had since been squelched By knife-like cold Invisible. And all the land lay still in virgin white. While here and there A tiny root peeped out to see The work of Winter ' s hand. Cameron Ross — XII HOME AT LAST To travel far was the one lone wish I harboured all year long. I went away, but somehow still Life was not all a song. The city sights were strange to me. The country fields unknown} Once gone, I seemed to long for home, For home, where all things were my own. Anne Marie Blair — XII jkL It nil LIMERICK Our class was the smallest in town, A crowd that knew not how to frown; At times we were lazy To drive teachers crazy. But never did they let us down. Barbara Onischuk—XII JACK FROST rack Frost came last night llith his breath hoary white Ito paint on a canvas of glass llcenes that a painter cannot surpass. I is frosty hand paints in perspective; llature is definitely hie objective, hor on my window He has made llhite lacy designs inlaid. Joan MacDoanld—XII LIMERICK At times we would all get a whim And just make a dash for the gym; We ' d play with such din Or watch a team win. But always we acted wjth vim. Marion Bokerfohr—XII CITY LIGHTS AT NIGHT Have you ever admired the city at night? For my part, I did so and enjoyed such a sight. From the hill, you should see the reflection of light In the stream that flows past. Oh, what a delight ! Those wee stars that appear one by one in the dark FVom the windows of mansions lined up near the park. Faintly twinkle like fireflies sending their sparks All night long, when they play with those glittering marks. Once I saw a small casket of gems very nice. And was told that this treasure was worth a high price; City lights, brilliant pearls strung on black, look like dice That the player casts, hoping much from the device. If you travel by night, you will notice the glare Made against the low clouds, cause a glimmering flare To refract in the sky. That is why I now dare Pause a moment to write on such beauties so rare. Sister Raymorde St. Germain—XII Cf)ns top|pe.r Colunplpas Christopher Columbus was another boy blue. Always daydreaming, thinking what to do. When I grow up. I ' ll sail out to sea, And India I ' ll find, you just wait and seel But when the time finally came. Not a soul agreed to help. So he went to Queen Isabella, Who understood the way he felt. She gave him a ship and sailors. And they started out to sea. But on the third day of sailing, They were as lonesome as could be. Out a mutiny almost broke But he kept as calm as he could. JCind and gentle were the words he spoke. And they calmed down as he thought they would. :Suddenly like a huge lamp in the sky. The heavens that night the moon did light. _And not far away Columbus did spy, A small dim light, that was not very bright. He called to the others and said, What do you see? A light! they all shouted, over-filled with glee. They rowed to the land and got on their knees. And thanked God for guiding them. Through the terrible seas. .They greeted the Indians, one by one. And Columbus, gave a smile, to EVFRY ONE. Rita Maloney—VB — 1 i At school we have so very much fun. Running in the sun. We never, never run in school. Because we obey our teacher ' s rule. It ' s exciting when Friday draws near. Because on that day we can paint; To fail in Art we do not fear. So we all make many things quaint. Preparing for a spelling test Always requires a lot of study; Nevertheless we do our best, And when we pass, our cheeks are ruddy.
