Q p r I Y CHAIRMAN' S ADDRESS CFrom the address given by the Chairman of the Board of Govrenors, Mr. E. David Dover, at the School Closing Exercises, june 23, 19735. Our goal during the past two years has been to establish a solid academic base on which the future of the school can be built. I would especially like to thank the individuals who have contributed to our goals, and they include the teachers, the administration, the friends of the school, the pupils, and, of course, the parents and members of our Society. In fact all of you who are gathered here today. I say again to you all, thank you, for your support. As you may know the school is a society incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta. The parents of our students are auto- matically members of the Society. So, in fact, this is your school. The Board of Governors and the staff would like you to know that we need and welcome your creative ideas concerning the school. These ideas can be communicated either to the Headmaster or to any member of the Board of Governors. The end of our school year always brings certain changes to our staff. It is with regret that I announce that Mme. Pauline Blotti, Mrs. Joanne Cox, Mrs. Maida Shaefer, Mrs. Coreen Steiger and Mrs. Marjorie Stiles are leaving our school and we wish them well in their new situations. I would like you all to know that your efforts were appreciated and I hope you will keep in touch with us. Three years ago the two independent schools of Strathcona and Tweedsmuir were amal- gamated. We were extremely fortunate that a number of teachers from the two founding schools joined our combined staff at the new school. You will all be disappointed to learn that one of these original teachers, Mrs. Rose Mabee, intends to retire. Mrs. Mabee has taught at the two schools for a combined total of fifteen years. While we will all miss her, we would like to express to Mrs. Mabee our sincere gratitude. Her loving concern for her students combined with a high standard of professionalism, engendered in her pupils affection, respect and academic in- terest. To the students, and especially to the grad- uating class, I would like to address a few words. My first job with the Board of Governors was to ask people for funds so that the present facili- ties could be constructed. The primary reason that people supported the school is that they believed there is no greater gift one generation can pass on to another than the opportunity of fine education. This gift, unlike a material be- quest, is ever with you. It cannot be legislated against or diluted by taxation. It need not be insured against theft or holocaust. I hope you have realized the maximum potential of this gift. I hope also that you realize its challenge. You are living in the most exhilarating, stim- ulating and promising age in the history of man- kind. Never forget that, historically, people have often had to live dangerously, precariously. But the attitude of adventure towards the solving of life's problems is, quite literally, the key to civili- zation. If a sense of adventure is the key, educa- tion is the tool. I speak not only of education as a training for entrance into business or the professions, but as a study of the great achievements of mankind through science, history, philosophy, literature, languages, fine arts and the like. And the intellec- tual perceptions we acquire through such studies enable us To stand on a giant's shoulders and see afar. It enables us to find the best and in- spires us to identify ourselves with the best as far as we are able. So then, education in this sense gives quality to living. For it is not enough, is it, merely to exist, to pass, to get by? We need to live enormously, on the crest of a wave, in order to find meaning, in order to find our own assigned place in the universal scheme. I believe that it is every man and woman's duty to him or herself to find this place, not only on a local modern level, but on a universal scale. Having decided on a path, and having aimed with a single-minded determination at a star, we all occasionally need a renewal of courage. To paraphrase Emerson: Trust thyself. Great men and women have always done so. The power which is in you is new in nature. None but you know what it is that you can do, nor do you know until you have tried.

HEADMASTER'S MESSAGE tThe Headmaster's Annual Message for 1972-1973 has been taken from the Headmaster's Address delivered at the closing exercises, june 23, 1973. Space does not permit us to include the entire speech.J The conversation between Funk and his friend, reported in the newspaper, went some- thing like this: Boy, the last day of school sure was noisy. All that cheering and shouting and dancing around. Funky replies: Yes, and the kids made a lot of noise too. I must say that the last day of school was rather pleasant at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School. I was proud of the deportment of our students. So much is heard about the bad things that young people do that perhaps some of them believe that this is the way the majority behaves. This is not the case, and particularly, it is not the case at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir. We are proud of our students and today, that of our Closing Exercises, in some manner, is a day to recognize all the good things that have happened. The Worth Commission Report, A Choice of Futures, supports The promotion and main- tenance of another kind of differentiated insti- tution - the community school. A community school is one that provides for the intermingling of persons of differing ages, sexes, intelligence, socio-economic status, and ethnic origin as a basis for building mutual respect and under- standing. This is certainly the case at Strathcona- Tweedsmuir and has been the case since our school began. Our community-school has for its community people from all over Calgary and the neighbouring area. You, as parents, as friends, as Board, as teachers represent the Strathcona- Tweedsmuir community. All of you are respon- sible for the success of Strathcona-Tweedsmuir and even though we are here to recognize excel- lence in our pupils, we are partly here to express our gratitude to all of you who contribute so much in time and talent to our success. I would personally and publicly like to thank all my staff for the dedication and hard work they have contributed to the success of this year. We are building one year on another and this our second year has been a foundation year where the tremendous effort by the staff ensures that next year will be an even more successful one with many exciting plans already underway. I would be negligent indeed if I did not, on your behalf, on behalf of the school, thank the ladies of the Ladies' Auxiliary for the many volun- teer tasks they have undertaken this year - the Living Skills program, the Library Assistance Pro- gram, the School Fair. These ladies have also given the school so many gifts both small and large. Ladies, if I have failed to mention some- thing it is not because we do not appreciate the countless things you do for us. We are so fortunate to have the calibre of women and men on our Board of Governors who have, this past year, worked countless hours as the parents' representatives for the good of the school. For the Chairman and all the Governors our gratitude is most sincere . I must get in one final parting shot at our graduating class. All year I have stressed that our lives depend on three basics. The first is God, a superior and guiding influence which is good, not evil, kind, not thoughtless, continually for- giving, never vindictive. My personal belief is that it is essential that you continue to struggle and search for the Truth I call God and not give up this struggle for a nothing or void. Study and search for the rest of your lives to find your God. The second basic is our country and the traditions and principles which have made us a most favoured people in the world. You must continue to study our heritage, our history, our political and economic past, for it is by knowing what our fathers and their fathers did that you will be guided in how you attack your life. Your forefathers took a chance and gambled in a new country. They did not ask to be given anything, they went out and worked for their successes. They believed in Canada and that in this land they could use their talents to make a full and successful life for themselves and you, their off- spring. Tackle life in the same spirit. Take a chance and don't look for someone else to do it for you. Do it yourself and Canada will continue to be the best land. Finally, the third basic that I have stressed this year, after God and Canada, is yourself. You all have the potential for greatness. We at Strath- cona-Tweedsmuir have given you of what we have and your parents have given of themselves. Now it is up to you. If you will spend a little time and think of yourself, you will find many strengths and a few weaknesses. Alright. Know yourself. Capitalize on your strengths and use them for all they are worth. Your health, your mind, your body, your spirit. Use your good health, fine mind, strong body and enthusiastic spirit to overcome any obstacle and to overcome any weakness you know you have. Nothing can stop you. . , -- f 'e9.,,:,f . an . , 'fm ' MH? Q Sui:-X' 1.5.

We decided, threefore, to include them in our present Yearbook. Mrs. I. M. McWilIiam Mrs. McWilliam began a teaching and administrative career, which was to span eighteen years, in her native Saskatchewan. She taught at Monmalla School, Kerrobert School, then left teaching to join the Canadian Women's Army Corps. On returning to education, Mrs. McWilIiam became Assistant Principal then Principal of Sceptre School. Following her marriage she taught in Vancouver for a short time and after returning to Saskatchewan took over as Principal of Lemsford School. In 1964 Mrs. McWilliam and her family moved to Calgary where she joined the staff of Tweedsmuir School for Girls. In 1966 she was appointed Headmistress of Tweedsmuir. When Strathcona and Tweedsmuir became a coordinate school at the Okotoks campus in 1971, Mrs. McWilliam became Head of Girls, a position she held until her retirement. At the Closing Exercises, june 17, 1972, Board of Governors Chairman, E. D. Dover paid warm tribute to Mrs. McWilliam's extreme dedication and responsibility to the teaching profession. On behalf of the Board, he pre- sented her with a return trip to Europe for herself and her husband. Presen- tations were also made by the pupils of the school and the faculty. Mrs. K. Marshall Mrs. Marshall was the dedicated Secretary of Tweedsmuir School for Girls for nine years before she came on staff of the coordinate school as custodian of the bookstore. Mrs. Marshall will be remembered fondly by all who knew her as her wit and sense of humour made her many friends. Mrs. V. E. T. A. Friesen Mrs. Friesen joined the Tweedsmuir staff in 1967 as Grade 1 teacher. She brought with her an expertise acquired over more than forty years of teaching. She taught in a log cabin in northern Alberta, a screened off entry hall in London's East End, Public elementary schools in Calgary. To do justice to Mrs. Friesen's career would take more space than we have. However, we may say that she shared the riches of her learning and her wisdom most generously. She remained on the staff of the coordinate school for its inaugural year. We wish Mrs. Friesen a happy retirement, one that we know she will use to benefit others. Mrs. M. Domoney After two years at Tweedsmuir and one with STS, Mrs. Domoney resigned to accompany her husband to London, Ontario. Mrs. Domoney was our popular math teacher and leader of girls' hiking. We wish her all the very best for her new career in Ontario. 10 Mrs. P. S. Scourfield Mrs. Scourfield left us at Easter, 1972 to accompany her husband and family to Durban, South Africa. She began her association with the school at Tweeds- muir in 1968 where she taught French and German. She continued to teach both French and German at STS. Mrs. Scourfield organized trips to France for her students and she piloted the Honours Club at STS. Mrs. Scourfield was honoured at a faculty luncheon where she was presented with an Eskimo carving. Mrs. H. McLean Mrs. McLean spent one year at STS as art teacher, resigning to accompany her husband and family to Peterborough, Ontario. Mrs. McLean inspired many of her students to creative work in both art and literature. We wish her and her family every success in their new life. Mr. I. E. Breland Our junior high French, mathematics and physical education teacher, Mr. Breland first joined Strathcona in 1970. Mr. Breland coached the hockey team and paved the way for Strathcona participation in inter-school competition. In his one year at STS he coached senior boys' volleyball, track and field and floor hockey. Mr. Breland resigned to take a posiiton in Stony Plain. We wish him, his wife and their young twin sons every success. Mr. G. Tajcnar Mr. Tajcnar, our math, physics and biology teacher in the senior school, came to STS after four years spent in Malaysia with the Canadian International Development Agency. Mr. Tajcnar was co-coach of the successful junior girls' volleyball team. He resigned from the faculty to take up an administrative appointment in Southern Alberta. Mr. Bob Rensing Our Business Manager since 1970, Mr. Rensing was responsible for the implementation of many of the plans for the new campus of the coordinate school. Mr. Rensing resigned to take a position in Vancouver, and our best wishes go with him. 1973 Mrs. Mabee joined the staff of Strathcona School for Boys in 1957. In her fifteen years at both Strathcona and Strathcona-Tweedsmuir she inspired her young pupils and started so many on the right path of learning. Mrs. Mabee acquired not only the affection and respect of her pupils and their parents but also of the faculty. Those who have taught with Rose Mabee have been privileged. In retiring she has not lost her many friends at the school. We wish her, sincerely and affectionately, a very happy retirement. Mrs. Rose Mabee 11 Mrs. Marjorie Stiles Mrs. Stiles joined Tweedsmuir in 1971 where she taught in the junior girls school, a position she also held during the inaugural year of the coordinate school. During this past year, Mrs. Stiles taught English in the elementary school and assisted in the library. A former writer for farm journals and the CBC, as well as regional executive of the Women's Institute, Mrs. Stiles plans to return to Didsbury for an active retirement. We wish her every success in her new ventures. Mme. Pauline Blotti Mme. Blotti spent one year with us teaching French in the elementary and junior high. We thank her for joining us and wish her every success for the future. Mrs. loanne Cox Mrs. Cox spent one year with us and has resigned and accepted a teaching appointment in Calgary. Mrs. Cox coached the girls' basketball team and was a friend and counsellor to many girls in the school. We wish her every success in her new position. Mrs. Maida Shaefer Mrs. Shaefer has resigned to accompany her husband and family to Central Alberta where Mr. Shaefer has a new appointment. Mrs. Shaefer was our art teacher for one year. We wish her every success in her new life. Mrs. Coreen Steiger Mrs. Steiger joined the office staff at Strathcona in 1970. During her years with Strathcona and later, STS, Mrs. Steiger coped with an ever increasing amount of clerical responsibilities as well as acting as receptionist. Mrs. Steiger resigned to accompany her husband and family to Acme, Alberta, where they will farm. To a good friend we say sincere thanks and best wishes in your new career. 12 THE GRADUATING CLASS Back Row: Middle Row: Front Row: Absent: GRADE XII Vic Didkowsky, Shawn McCrae, Pamela Heard, Louise Harvey, Ben Bennett, Calvin McClary, Alex McNiven, Mr. Schmit.

October 27, 1972 Dear Parents: Your son is a member of the Strathcona- Tweedsmuir Chess Club and right now the Club is planning a tournament. Mr. Heard, our Head- master, can obtain ten chess sets at a reasonable price of 51.49 each to enable us to have the tournament. Chess Club dues are 52.00 and this money would permit us to pay for the chess sets and provide a cup for each of the division cham- pions. If you approve of your son being in the Chess Club and of our budgeting, we would appreciate very much if you could consider con- tributing S200 to our funds.

The cast of thousands included Bill Marks as the misanthropist Scrooge, Harvey Hummel as Bob Cratchit, Brian Peacock as the dashing Fred Ebeneezer and Barry Clauson as a perfect Tiny Tim. The four ghosts, Pam Macdonald, lanice Heard, lane Hutchinson and Frances Amery were terrifying as they appeared out of the world of the supernatural. They can't wait to play similar roles in Macbeth. We extend our thanks to Mrs. Harasymiw who produced the play, to Mrs. Prentice and Mrs. Hazai who provided such excellent musical ac- companiment with the school orchestra. Without the efforts of these ladies the production would not have enjoyed the smashing success it did. Fran Amery TALENT NIGHT The audience was hushed while awaiting the commencement of the Third Annual Talent Night on March 23rd. The program, organized by Mr. Nelson, was the culmination of weeks of audi- tions and rehearsals. Part One of the program comprised the ele- mentary piano students under the direction of Mrs. Hazai. In Part Two, elementary students performed a variety of acts ranging from mime and dance to recitation and baton twirling. ln Part Three the School Band presented its ren- dition of Scarborough Fair. This was followed by the string students and then the Orchestra, both under the direction of Mrs. Prentice, play- ing a selection of classical items. During Parts Four and Five, the Grade seven girls presented a Radio Recipe, directed by Mrs. Shaefer, and the junior and senior high students in Mrs. Cox's classes gave a thematic poetry presentation. Part Six, the grand finale, proved a tremen- dous success as guitarists Bob Louisy, Wayne Barker, Christine Baker, Bruce Gammell and Mel Evans presented some contemporary and country music. The 1973 program was undoubtedly a boom- ing success and our sincere thanks go to the organizers and participants and to Dick Sherlock, the master of ceremonies who kept the program running smoothly. Fran Amery GRADUATION DINNER DANCE The STS graduation dinner dance was held this year on May 19, at the beautiful Inn on Lake Bonavista. For the first time the parents of all senior high students were invited to attend and the response was overwhelming. A capacity crowd filled the banquet room overlooking the moonlit lake. Among the guests attending were the Chairman of the Board and Mrs. Dover, the Headmaster and Mrs. Heard, School Governors and faculty members. The band, Vocal Minority, was the life of the party. lt maintained a continuous medley of past, present and future tunes that enticed every- one to dance until they were exhausted. To keep the party going into the wee hours, Mark Sibley hosted an after party at his cabin on Chestermere Lake and a graduation breakfast of burnt bacon sandwiches brought the festivities to an end. Recognition is given to Ben Bennett and his assistants for organizing the Dinner Dance. The location, the entertainment and the fare were excellent. The Harveys and Haywards must also be commended for the wonderful before parties they hosted. THE HALLOWE'EN PARTY Tuesday, October 31, 1972 The Elementary School staged a magnificent Halloween party this year. All the teachers and students participated. Costume prizes were awarded to the following students: Best Hallowe'en Costume - Witch - Angela Pattemore. Most Original Costume - Warrior - Lawrence Dundas. Funniest Costume - Green Mask - Morrison Native Costume -- Cheryl Shaefer TRAP CLUB Senior Trap Shooters: Kevin Pearson, Mr. l. Hay, Steve johnson, Brian Peacock. This year the Trap Club, under the direction of Mr. Hay, has made great progress. In the fall a father-son trap shoot was held and attracted sixty competitors. In the spring a very successful biath- alon was held. Our shooters have become so proficient that we hope to be able to host some inter-school shoots next fall. Brian Peacock THE ANNUAL PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST Seventy-six semi-finalists in the annual public speaking contest arrived on the fine spring even- ing of May 25th to compete for six coveted trophies. During the preceding week excitement began to mount as the eliminations were held by the homeroom and English teachers. Students practised speeches on the buses, in the corridors, and out in the grounds. After the eliminations, 21'70 of the student body were selected for the semi-finals. The topics of their speeches ranged from 'fThe Tooth Fairy flennifer Kerr, Grade 17 to Watergate tAlex McNiven, Grade XIIJ. The action began at 7:30 p.m. when the 76 semi-finalists entered nine rooms where the selec- tion process for the finalists began. School Gov- ernors and friends of the School formed the judging panels. One hour later groups of parents and students were seen clustered around door- ways anxiously awaiting the decisions. And out they came, one by one, and the twenty-one final- ists moved to the gym for the final round. With the transportable swimming pool oc- cupying one-half of the gymnasium and serving as an interesting background, the finals began in earnest. Two hours later the judging panels re- turned with their decisions. The champion speak- ers were as follows: Grades 1 84 2 - Laura Shaefer My Grandmother Grades 3 81 4 Grades 5 84 6 Grades 7 84 8 Grade 9 Grades 10-12 Paul Proctor f'The Seven Ancient lA!on- ders of the World David jackson Freddie McCall - A Canadian Hero Betsy Harvie The Effects of Scientific Technology Shauna Blake Bernini Bill Marks Satisfaction Sponsored by the English Department of the School, the Public Speaking Contest again proved to be a success. It began as an annual contest at Strathcona approximately forty years ago and has bceome part of the school tradition, a tradition which has continued at STS. To our teachers, the organizers and the judges, we express our appreciation for their support and encourage- ment. DEBATING This year's debating season was both de- manding and frustrating. In the first place a heavy schedule of competitions had been slated for the year, but at the same time debaters had to cope with changes in debating style introduced by the provincial debating association. The frustrating feature of the season was the clash between de- bating competitions and other school and sports activities in which our debaters also participated. However, the year was not a total loss. john Brown attended the very successful Workshop at Lake Isle in November. In December, lanice Heard and lohn Brown participated in the Queen Elizabeth High School Workshop which prepared participants for the TV series Debate In janu- ary our debaters attended an impromptu debat- ing competition hosted by Sir Winston Churchill High School. The All Alberta Model Parliament was held in Edmonton, February 2nd and 3rd. Some of the debates were actually held in the Legislature. Leigh Currie represented STS at this grand event. Our final event for the year was our appear- ance in the TV series Debate We competed against Lord Beaverbrook High School and the topic was: That binding arbitration should re- place the right to strike in labour-management disputes. We had the affirmative case and lost to Lord Beaverbrook. We hope next year, with the return of our seasoned debaters and with a close eye on the calendar, to have a very successful season. FIELD TRIPS There were at least 30 field trips this year, far too many to provide detailed reports. How- ever, we have included two reports as they cap- ture the spirit of much of the learning that is acquired on our field trips. While some classes went to the Glenbow Museum and to Banff, others went to the Planetarium, the Glenbow Art Gallery, the Leighton Centre, Drisdale's Farm, Heritage Park, the University of Calgary, Magis- trate's Court, the Supreme Court, a radio station, a Chinese restaurant, the airport, the fuel cell powerplant, Drumheller, a synagogue and some went to Sunshine to ski and others attended the Rodeo Royal. A DAY IN BANFF lt all started off when we were talking about Indians. So we arranged it. We got into a small bus and took off. Our driver was Mrs. White, and Mrs. Kerr, Mrs. Goldstein and Mrs. Davis were supervising us. On the way to Banff we passed lumping Pound which is a cliff where buffalo were driven over. We went on and reached the park gates, drove around in a semi-circle and came to the Luxton Museum. There we saw bears, wolves and a gopher and they were all stuffed. We also saw Indians having ceremonies. After we toured the museum we went into the Trading Post then gOt back into the bus and went to see the town. Mrs. Goldstein bought us ice cream which must have cost a lot. Later we headed for Lake Minnewanka where we had lunch. On our way home we saw a coyote and a hog's back. We stopped for gas and then we went home. i hope we go to Banff again. Sara Goldstein, Grade 4 A TRIP TO THE GLENBOW We went to the Glenbow Museum on Fri- day, May 4th to learn about lndian myths. The ladies at the museum explained to us that Indians believe that the world is a three part system: the earth, where they live, the sky world where the birds live, the underworld, where the fish live. One lady described the system as three discs, one on top of each other. The class was then split up and we were taken to a teepee. There we learned many dif- ferent customs about the Indians. One custom was that men walk into the teepee from the right and women from the left. Inside, they sit the same way, men to the right, women to the left and none is to sit blocking the doorway. Finally, we were taken to the exhibits. There we learned myths of the Plains Indians and the Coastal Indians. Melanie McCaig, Grade 5 OUTDOORS CLUB EXPEDITIONS The Outdoors Club organized three trips for the summer of '73. Reports of these trips should appear in next year's Paidia. Mr. Nelson is to lead a back-packing trip through bush and alpine country in the Rocky Mountains. Mr. Piorecky and Mr. Schmit are to lead a canoe trip around the Bowron Lake circuit in British Columbia and Mr. Kilb and Mr. Hay will lead a trail riding trip in the junction Creek area, west of the Sheep River ranger station. As usual, Mr. Bauman took his Grade 5B class for their camping trip on the Highwood at the end of May - early june. A most successful trip, it was eagerly awaited by all the 5Bs. Special thanks to Mr. Ray for all his help and to parents who drove and collected the students.

Suddenly he saw something bright and shiny in front of him. lt was a ghost! The ghost made a sound which frightened lim very much. jim ran to a bush and hid. When the ghost came by lim jumped out of the bush and shouted, Boo! The ghost went quickly away. Andrew Molitor, Grade 2 THE OLD MAN Once there was an old man that had the worst, torn clothes in the whole city. I felt sorry for him because he had a leg with a limp. It hurt his feelings when people stared at the way he walked. He was always kind to people even though they were not always kind to him. Paul Proctor, Grade 3 THE HAUNTED HOUSE One upon a time there was a very old house with cracked windows, torn rugs, ripped curtains and out in the yard there was a rusted car. The house also had one spooky ghost and a few mice and alleycats. I wanted to go in so I opened the spooky door and down came a ghost and one alleycat. l yelled and ran home. Stephen Waldie, Grade 3 Falling to the ground Snow makes little flakes look like Tiny twinkling stars. David Thakkar, THE HARE My horse and l stopped by a brook just to look and look and look. We looked around and saw a hare Trembling with fear, caught in a snare. I ran to it and set it free, And now that hare belongs to me. Lindsay Rohloff, THE WINTER LAND God, he coats the world with snow, The people of the North, they know. It seems to them every time they're out The wind decides to scream and shout. The snow it goes right past their knees As the Eskimo a seal he sees. He sets out to get it right away While the seal decides to stay. He gets the seal for his good wife As the polar bear tries to take his life. As a man he draws his axe Not a bit of strength the polar lacks. The man decides to strike its shoulder, The Eskimo grows a little bolder. The bear sees that he is beat And knocks the man right off his feet. Beast is beaten and runs away And the man will hunt another day. Grade 4 Grade 5 Todd Trimble, Grade 5. 32 SPRING Aren't you glad that spring has come And the flowers are blooming in the sun? And the ice has melted and gone away, And the horses eat the fresh green hay? Tina lessen, Grade 4 WHAT EDUCATION MEANS TO ME To me education is an important part of life. The three R's, reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic are all part of education. Learning to skate and swim is part of education. lf people were not educated they would not have books to read or cars to drive around in and they wouldn't be able to go on airplanes or trains or boats. All the people in the world are part of cer- tain forms of society. All the societies in the world are educated in a different way. For in- stance, Pygmies learn to hunt in the jungle, what kind of berries are poisonous and so on and so on. But we learn how to read and write and how to add and subtract. We learn language and grammar while other children may be learning sign language. We may be learning how to swim while Eskimos may be learning how to make holes in the ice and how to hunt. But what our society learns and what other societies learn, we all have something in common. We are all being educated no matter what we learn or how we learn it. Sara Goldstein, Grade 4 SAILING Last summer I took sailing lessons and we bought a sailboat. I haven't had so much fun in a long time. The City of Calgary Recreation Department offers sailing lessons on Glenmore Reservoir. You are allowed to use two kinds of boats: a Sabot, which is a boat with one sail, and a Flying junior, which is a boat with two sails. You learn new words. For example, do you know what a clew is, or a tack, or a batten, or a cringle? Well, they are all parts of a sail. The bow is the front of a boat and the stern is the back. On the port means on the left, and star- board means right. Leeward means the direc- tion away from the wind and windward means toward the wind. In addition to learning new vocabulary, you also learn new knots. One exciting thing about sailing is a capsize. A sudden gust of wind can throw the boat over and suddenly you are in the water. But it only takes a few minutes to get the boat upright, bailed out, and then away you go. lf you are careful, you can even go through a capsize with- out getting wet. Once you have learned the basic fundamen- tals of sailing, you can start racing. In international racing, people from all over the world who own the same type of boat compete against each other, so racing can mean new friends in other countries. Sailing is fun! l suggest you try it. Donald Mackinnon, Grade 6 OVERCONFIDENCE We're ahead two points Laughter comes easy. Pressure slackens We become more careless And start to pick up fouls Then we find the score tied. We sober and try to work our numbing legs. A pass is intercepted for the other team. We desperately take after them But before we reached the basket The ball had been sunk untouched For two points. We then went wild. We were desperate to get back two points. The sweat streamed down our faces. We started taking wild shots. Thirty seconds! We jumped And got the ball. A shot went up but missed. With a rebound in favour of the other team. The buzzer went and the game was over And there were no excuses. Ron Kluzak, Grade 8-9B SLIDING At the hill, I don't know, I guess I will. Don't push me. Not now, please, No, Oh, Wheeee . . . On my face, At the bottom. Up the hill, To the top. Down the hill? Sure, I will! lane Manning, Grade 8G SIGN OF WINTER it glistens in the sunlight like a bed of diamonds it is covered with exhaust turned filthy and iced it lays on a pond smooth as smoothed wood it lays on a field with tracks made by loud machines it lay on hills the sign of winter lane Manning, Grade 8G 34 LA MERCEDES-BENZ La Mercedes-Benz est une grande auto sport qui a une reputation internationale. La derniere et plus moderne de ces autos est la 280SL qui est un developpement des premier modeles 230 et 250 SL exterieurement presqu'identiques. La 280 SL est disponible en trois modeles: bicyclettes routieres avec un toit pliable plus toit dur et une combinaison des deux dans lequel le toit peut-etre enleve et de-monte et aussi le con- vertible avec un toit de metal. Soit une transmis- sion de quatre vitesses manuelles ou une trans- mission automatique de quatre vitesses peut-etre installee. La difference de la 280 SL avec la plupart des autres autos est le luxe. Le tableau de bord est bourre par prudence et l'interieur est spa- cieux. Il y a un bon support des sieges pour les tournants vites. Un systeme double de freins donne des freins puissants. Le six cylindres 5 haute compression regoit le gaz par son injecteur 5 petrole et developpe 1956 GV a 5900 RPM lorsque munit d'une trans- mission manuelle et un peu moins lorsque munit d'une transmission automatique. Mark Heard and Sandy Morrison Grade 7-8B VERSAILLES Versailles est une ville du nord de la France. Elle est situee 5 douze kilometres au sud-ouest de Paris. X X A Versailles il y a le palais nomme apres la ville de Versailles. Le palais de Versailles est presque trois quarts de kilometre long et contient plusieurs centaines de salles. Une fameuse salle du palais est la Galerie des Glaces. Le parc a ete dessine par Andre le Notre. Au centre du parc il y a un sentiej de tapis vert. Versailles etait construit principalement pour la chasse. Plus tard, en 1661, Louis XIII construit un palais aupres de la meme location et a de- pense plus de cent millions de francs. Les rois qui lui ont succede ont ajoute plusieurs salles. Beaucoup d'argent et de prodigalites causeront en partie la revolution frangaise. En 1789 les generaux frangais se sont ras- sembles 5 Versailles et ont decide la revolution frangaise. A Ia fin de la guerre franco-prussienne, Ver- sailles etait la capitale de la France pour un temps. X Vers 1950, john Rockefeller a donne a la France 52,850,000 Une partie de cette donation a ete utilisee E1 restaurer le palais et la parc 51 leur appajence originale. Maintenant le palais est un musee. Bruce Conway and Russell Gregory Grade 7-8B 35 LOST Hokey-Ding! What on earth could this be? A tree with a green trunk? And white leaves? I think I'll climb to the top and investigate. It sure is slippery and there aren't any branches for a while. Whew, a branch at last. I think I'll take a rest. At last I reached the enormous white leaves and parted them to look through. There above me was the beautiful, clear blue sky and around me there was a beautiful smell that enriched my lungs with pleasure. I jumped up and found myself in a little yellow meadow in the middle of the white leaves. When I looked at myself I realized I was completely yellow. Then I heard a buzzing sound and I looked up to see a thing with a striped shirt on. At any other time I would have loved to meet him, but right now he was heading straight for me. I screamed and yelled and waved my arms but he proceeded downwards. I must have been just as yellow as the meadow for he didn't see me. He must have been deaf too. Thank goodness! He landed just about an eighth of an inch away from me! With a relieved soul I observed him and found that he was sucking something from the meadow. Finished now he soared off with such speed it sent me hurtling backwards. I had just scrambled up when I found a much bigger thing coming towards me. This one had a pointy nose. He did the same thing. Life could be quite good for a flower without the birds and the bees. Ruth Gray, Grade 9G REBIRTH The river, once a creek but now swollen with fruits stolen from the snow-laden slopes, ruled as a tyrant does over itself and the things entrapped in the folds of his current. The river flowed, crashed, ducked and eddied in one harmonious unit. It was peaceful on the near level stretches of its course and full of ire over the discrepancies in the level plain, a small boulder jutting up out of the earth, a steep drop in its path. Those things it could not control. It threaded its way through the ice-packs to find freedom on the other side. It weaved through the bushes on the banks which had formerly been its jailer. It had now conquered the banks. It defied one and all to conquer it. IT, that is what we called it, for what other name is there to call it, the supreme ruler? It was more than mere water, it was a current of emotions eddying and flowing down its pre- destined path. One received the impression that a thousand lives were intertwined in it. Caputred by its full pull we were drawn to it, to share the joys and the fears of the lives in it. For a moment we, the river, and all those who had looked into the river as we had, were one. Some of us thought the river to be good and pure in its thoughtsp others thought it to be malevolent. Above all, though, it was a river, a ruler. Roger Patterson, Grade 9B RAISING A CALF Living in the country, I joined the 4H and found what an enjoyable experience it was to raise my own calf. First of all you pick out a yearling steer and you look for these features: straight back, tall, not too long, and of course certain breeds matter also. After you have chosen your calf you feed it special grains for ten months. You also attend meetings once a month where everyone talks about calves. On june 9th, everyone meets at the Uneeda Auction Market to sell their calves. The night before the auction you have to wash your calf and braid his tail so that it fluffs out. Last year I got my calf settled down in his stall - which included getting his own private radio going. Next we went and got his weight which was IIOO pounds. Last of all, before the showing, I sat down behind him on a chair and fluffed out his tail while he wiggled to the music. At last show time came and Charlie and I set out for the ring. Charlie placed fourth out of twenty- five and we won the Showmanship Trophy. Charlie and I were very happy with our per- formance and went back to our stall to wait for half an hour until the Interclub Showmanship Performance and when that took place we came fourth out of fifteen. When you are showing your calf, it looks best to the judges if you hold your hand up high, keep working on your calf, and most important, keep your calf's legs straight so that he looks like a box. These steps lead to good showmanship. At the end of the day, at 7:00 p.m., the 4H members sell their beloved pets. We all sold from highest to lowest weights. After I sold Charlie fwho was bought by Canada Packersi I cried all the way to his pen. Later I went back and cut a little snip of hair from his tail so that I could re- member him. I didn't eat beef for three months afterwards in case I ate Charlie. My dad, mom and I went back to collect Charlie's belongings. When we were walking to the car we passed Charlie. He let out one big bellow and licked my arm. Of course I cried all the way home. On the night of the banquet I received my trophy but it wasn't the same knowing that Char- lie earned all this and he didn't see his prize. I now have a new calf named liffy and on june 9th the same thing will happen again! Christine Baker, Grade 9G 37 ALONE UNTIL DEATH I am left to look after my sister, Winona. No one to see the helpless tears in my eyes. Who will stay with us, Stay by our side? Who will check to see Ifm doing things right? My mother left us Like deserted cubs, scared and alone.

Heather Ross, Grade 11 38 THE LOCKE CREATIVE WRITING CONTEST This year Dr. and Mrs. G. L. Locke presented an award for creative writing in the senior high school. The award was given for the best poem and the best short story written by a senior high student. Thirty entries were received in the poetry section of the contest which was won by lane Hutchinson, Grade 11, for her poem, MUSlC.The judges made honourable mention of BALLAD OF SIMPLICITY OR DAWN by Cindy Laatsch, Grade 12, and TIMES PAST by Kathy Wall, Grade 12. Five entries were received in the short story section of the contest which was won by Bob Louisy, Grade 10, for his story THE BOX. The judges made honourable mention of RIPPLE ROCK by jim Kelly, Grade 10. The editors of Paidia 1972-73 wish to express their sincere gratitude to Dr. and Mrs. Locke for their generosity and they invite readers of the Yearbook to read and enjoy the winning entries as well as the honourable mention entries which follow. music can be anything it wants. it can be warm, or shivery, brave and bold, or shy and scared, happy, or sad, very calm, or very silly, or anything else that it feels like being. music is the latest hit L.P., and at the same time, a lone bird cracking the stillness in the early morning. music can whisper and shout, it can skip and iUmD, or slip around corners, quietly. it can scrootch into cracks and spaces where nothing else will fit. music is stones skipping over a smooth patch of water, and the sound of skis biting into the snow. music can talk. it can say hi or this is fun or I like you. sometimes it says HEY! look at me! see what I can do! and sometimes it tries to slip by without being noticed much. music is gleeful - it giggles and whoops and hiccups, and chortles and dances. it is a clown and a show-off, a practical joker. it is the most skilled of acrobats. it can leap to the ceiling in a single bound, and slowly, gently, lower itself back down. music is the wind banging an angry fist at a door that won't open, and the sunshine pouring itself the country grasses. into music is somebody's - everybody's soul. music is life. lane Hutchison, Grade 11 First Prize, Poetry Contest BALLAD OF SIMPLICITY OR DAWN Tiny, simple, a creek tumbled over its stones Reflecting white fluff whispering by. A simple white hand splashed in alone, Only to cup its pureness, only to feel its existence, - why? The hand was drawn out to lift to a face To brush away locks of ebony hair Long black lashes edged black eyes under lace, A motion oblivious of care. Like the dawn she lived, and rose each morning, Like the dawn she had no goal - She merely would laugh to herself and sing Only to satisfy the cravings within her soul. Dawn was her name, or so they called her, Dawn who was crazy or so they said Simply because she was content to ponder Over things as simple as leaves that were dead. Cindy Laatsch, Grade 12 Honourable Mention - Poetry Contest TIMES PAST I thought I had forgotten What had happened years ago, But it came to me this morning When the summer winds did blow, For I remembered as I gazed past the flowers, the bitter tears, That I thought I had forgotten, And buried with the years. I thought I had remembered, The best things from the past. Like a sunny summer, Or when winter's gone at last. But when thinking all this over, Meanings gone, I still grew sad For the things I had remembered, Were the few short weeks we had. Kathy Wall, Grade 12 Honourable Mention - Poetry Contest 40 THE BOX The convict leaned back dejectedly, con- templating his position. Today he would be executed, gassed, in what some of the inmates called the box. He had seen it once, a cold and empty chamber, except for the hard metal chair and the long, twisted pipes attached to the grills. This was the place where many had been exe- cuted for their crimes against the gentle society. He wondered what it would be like to have the clinging gas fill his lungs, replacing the needed oxygen - he cringed. He was a powerful man, he stood well over six feet and was well muscled. His face was deep- ly lined from tension, his eyes were brown with a tinge of green, giving them an unnatural appear- ance and his head was covered with a thick growth of long brown hair, making him seem younger than he really was. He wondered why he had killed that man. What was his logical reason? He didn't have to hit the man so hard, at least he didn't mean to. lt was a killing rage that came over him . . . sud- denly he was brought out of his contemplation by the sliding of his cell door. It was the cell block officer with a minister. It was time. He thought for a moment and gazed at the open cell door as the officer approached him. He was calculating the distance to the cell door and in which direction he would run. He waited until the officer was almost directly in front of him and then he lashed out with his massive fists, crumpl- ing the officer. He knocked down the minister as he ran out the cell door and down the corridors to the auxiliary exit of his wing. In the first corri- dor he overpowered a guard by strangling him from behind and then picked up his revolver. He walked slowly now, more confident of himself. He was close to the exit, he knew it, but as he rounded a corner he was confronted by two guards. Before they could react he fired a volley of shots. One guard dropped with a bullet in the neck, the other lay twisting convulsively, clutch- ing his stomach. The convict sped down the cor- ridor towards the exit, grabbing a metal food cart as he went. He ran straight at the large glass doors and at the same time another guard stepped in front of the doors and levelled his gun. But before he could shoot the convict crashed into him with the cart, hurtling him through the doors. The guard had died on the initial impact with the glass and the convict stumbled down the steps, cut and bleeding. He now realized his passage was cut off by the many guards at the gates and in the towers, so he dashed across the courtyard to a door he had spotted. He slammed the door open with his shoulder and ran down a small corridor that ended in a small metal door with a sign. The sign read DANGER - KEEP OUT. The convict opened the door and entered the inky darkness. He then shut and locked the door so it wouldn't budge, hoping they'd never look for him there. He struck a match and when it illuminated the room his heart skipped a beat. His mouth gaped and his eyes bulged in horror, for now he realized where he was. He recognized the cold and empty interior, except for the hard metal chair and the long, twisted pipes attached to the grills - the grills that would soon fill the entire room with that terrible, clinging gas. Robert Louisy, Grade 10 First Prize - Short Story Contest RIPPLE ROCK Several years ago off the shore of Vancouver Island, in a small ocean town called Campbell River, there was a navigation hazard called Ripple Rock. Cargo would be sent down a bay called Seamore Narrows, located between Quadra Island and Campbell River. This waterway could only be used at high tides for the strait was very narrow and the ships could barely get by the monstrous rock. Tremendous rip tides would carry the ships onto the rock where they were crushed against the enormous barrier. Eventually the largest dynamite blasting in the world took place at Ripple Rock. Thousands of tons of ex- plosives were placed under it and it was blown from the ocean floor. To this day the powerful rip tides still flow with the changing tide, making conditions extremely dangerous, but without the added hazard of Ripple Rock. This is where my story takes place, Ripple Rock. The day looked perfect for salmon fishing as Mike, Peter and I jumped into the sleek, light sixteen foot fishing boat. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the wind was very light as it slid along the rippling water of Campbell River. The day was still very young as the sun crept over the mountain at the west end of Quadra Island, where we were spending a few relaxing days. Mike started up the small sixteen horse- power engine as Pete and I shoved off from the side of the salt-worn, rickety old dock. Where today? I shouted above the din of the engine. Mike's eyes wandered around the narrow strait before answering my question. There's a place across the bay about six miles up the strait called Ripple Rock. Do you want to try fishing there for a few hours? Sounds good to me! replied Peter and I. The trip was about forty-five minutes up the strait before crossing the five mile bay. By now the sun was shining but a strong wind had picked up. White caps were now forming across Sea- more Narrows. We all glanced at each other in a questioning gaze. Well, what do you guys want to do? It isn't bad now but it could get worse, Mike said. There was a long pause as the boat idled in the rolling brine. As long as the wind doesn't pick up and there aren't any clouds forming it will be great, I replied. I can't guarantee anything, Mike said in a faint voice. Finally, we all energetically agreed and started across the bay. The small boat bobbled across the swaying ocean like a cork for the rest of the morning. lt was early afternoon when we entered the Narrows and Ripple Rock. The wind was now blowing strong and the rip tide was starting to move. Yet with the excitement of fishing, none of us seemed to notice the change in water currents and the large black clouds creeping over the mountainside. Some time later that afternoon, Mike peered down at his watch. lt's already 3:00 you guys and only an hour until the rip tide comes up. All of a sudden there was a scream from Peter's reel and a large salmon flopped out of the sea like a kite swaying in the breeze. Its silvery body shone in the sunlight resembling that ofa shiny new dime. The fish fought for its lifelike a wounded bear, but Peter hung onto the warped and bending rod. Some forty-five minutes later after a strenuous tangle with the expected twenty pound spring salmon, we hauled it over the side of the moving boat. Throughout our adventure we had drifted into the dangerous rip- tides of underwater currents and gaping whirl- pools. Mike lurched at the outboard motor and quickly started it up. By this time the boat was rocking through the now rolling waves while still trying to get out of the swallowing currents. Screaming above the crashing of the waves and the droning of the engine Pete said in a quivered voice. There's no way we'll get across the bay now. It's not possible. I glanced over at the gas gauge which read one quarter of a tank. f'We have to give it a try before we run out of gas. Without another question, Pete rammed the engine into forward and an impossible journey across a tossing five mile bay began. The whirlpools which exist while the tides are changing were opening up like huge mouths ready to suck us under and into the tormenting currents and waves. The whirlpools were so tre- mendously strong and large they could suck a yacht under without a great deal of trouble. The eyes of the swirling pools were close to eight feet deep. Very few in the Seamore Narrows ever got that deep, but with the clash of the storm and the changing tide, they rocked our small boat like a drowning fly. The boat bounced over the swaying waves that were now more than ten feet high. We were just coming out of the rip tide area when a gigan- 2 , it g Clflrrtpbcll ,Qfygff XL 406' ROW x QC .0 P- -- - is Rf el' CQ 5 -FV Q1 N' TQ-A Q' wt mfg O J 5 .ff C CI ff., ui S--'ffs B VV we Wwe F1 Y 5 In ? QFhI15i5E 5 DH Q V, gi 6fnf.1-S'l'RFXil ..9b,,.,, K Cv QUQDRYA iscmrvp tic whirlpool opened up in front ot us. Without hesitation Peter swerved the tiny vessel to avoid the hungry gaping pool. The boat crashed into an oncoming wave and with the quick change of direction missed the deep crevice. Like a roar- ing plane the boat tilted up to an eighty-five degree angle and our supplies and preservers sank into the salty brine. Our chances looked extremely thin. The rain was now pelting down like a winter blizzard. Mike and l lay on the bottom of the boat like two drowned rats while Pete, who knew the sea well, tried to control the bobbing boat. There was little he could really do except weave in and out among the crashing waves. lt was all praying and good luck that would get us through. Seconds seemed like minutes and minutes seemed like hours as we plowed through the torrenting storm. Several times our faithful boat would tilt sideways or the front would buck up and down like a raging mustang. Although vision was very scarce Pete finally screamed out that he saw Davis Island about half a mile away. That was the first word any of us had said in the last hour, we were all so cold and speechless with fear. Davis Island is a very tiny island about the size ofa two storey house, but it was solid land, something all of us wanted to touch once again. The island seemed to close in very quickly, for all of a suddent I yelled out: Watch out Pete, the rocky shore is right ahead! Before I had time to complete my warning, we felt a jolt that was like colliding with a brick wall. We flew through the air only to hit the soaked bank of Davis Island. We lay there un- conscious. Morning came with a bright sun shining down. I woke up with a throbbing headache only to see my companions lying ten feet away from me, unable to move. I gathered my thoughts and scrambled over to Mike who lay with dried blood on his right leg and an ugly gash in his forehead. Are you OK? I asked him, with worry in my voice. I think so, Mike slowly replied. My leg. I can't move it. I looked down at Mike's leg to see it badly bruised with a huge welt appearing on it. I knew it was broken. Hold on pal while I check Pete. Peter was sitting up but the grim look on his face told me he was hurt badly. My ankle. It's smashed! Pete cried as I raced over. Peter's ankle was turned right in while his knee was still pointing straight out. He had crushed his ankle as he hit the stony bank. Don't move around. I'II make a fire. Some- one is bound to see the smoke. Without hesitation I gathered sticks and grass to make a large smoky fire which I started with the lighter I had in my pocket. Morning wore into the afternoon as we sat in pain and hunger on the shore of Davis Island. Our boat was nowhere to be seen so there was no way off the island. We needed help fast for Mike and Peter lay there in wincing pain. The sun had begun to sink under the sea when I heard something far off. Quiet you guys. I hear something. There, climbing over the sunset was a fishing vessel heading right for us. That's it guys, we're going home, I cried out in joy. The last two days were an event I could never forget. Ripple Rock tried hard to take more lives but three boys just couldn't be persuaded. lim Kelly, Grade 10 Honourable Mention - Short Story Contest IN MEMORIAM SCARABAEORUM Utique, aliquid tibi narrabo Arbitror te intellegere.

Would it happen again? We were playing in the Western Canadian lnclependent Schools' Volleyball Cham- pionships for Senior Girls' teams. As Sunday ended, we went home in confi- dence as we were undefeated. On Monday we had two matches to play. The second one seemed to us an easy take, but the first could give us a little trouble. A half-hour before the first match we began lifting our spirits. We did exercises, cheers, had a pep talk and were just wild with excitement. Well, we lost our first match. We were playing terribly. Each player playing for herself and not as a team. We decided that the pep talks got us too hyper. Our second match was easy . . . we won three straight. We had made the finals - S.T.S. Spartans vs. York House from Vancouver. The pep talk and cheers hadn't seemed to be the right medicine, so before the final match we relaxed on comfortable, cushioned chairs, eating oranges, telling jokes and singing. Our confidence was still with us but now it was more of a silent one. We had beaten York House on Sunday and knew that if we played up to our potential we could do it again. At the end of the first game everything seemed lost. They had won. We had to hit ourselves and say, Hey, keep with it, four games are left. At the end of the second we had a bit of hope and even a twinkle in our eyes. We had won. At the end of the third that hope grew. We had beaten them again. We were so close to victory yet so far away. If we won this game we would be the champs. If we lost we would merely be the players of a suspenseful, nerve-racking game that would be hard to win but much harder to lose. The fourth game started as usual, with our hearts in our throats as York House leaped to a 3-0 lead. We caught up and passed them though, and the score was now 12-3. It was our serve . . . unretrievable . . . whistle . . . serve . . . unretrievable. Game point. Our bodies almost burst with excitement and nervousness. The whistle was blown. The hand contacted the ball squarely as it magically spiralled over the net. The victim below bumped the ball in utter desperation . . . the net bulged with her mistake! WE WERE CHAMPS. Tears filled our eyes. Our minds refused to believe it but our bodies knew it was true. Our hair became ruffled and messy as we rubbed each other's heads. We jumped for joy and bounded across the floor into our team-mates arms. It was so hard to swallow. . . our stomachs refused to stop turning. Then through our watery eyes we saw the York House team ap- proaching and it started all over. Now it was finished, the court deserted with the exception of the game ball, an empty water bottle and numerous discarded programs. Yes, the tournament was finished but our memories will never depart. Ruth Gray and Cynthia Hayward CROSS-COUNTRY Our cross-country team was off to a frosty start early this fall. The first meet was the Foot- hills Division Championship which we hosted on our own course. The Spartans swept to the team victory winning five of the six gold medals. We took 25 avid runners to the Badlands for the South Central Alberta championships. lt was a lot of fun at Drumheller, like a fair with flags and hot dogs and a dusty wind. Our open girls, Cindy Kerr and lanice Heard placed first-second respectively, and had their pictures taken for the Bonnyville Gazette in their outstanding attire . . . long underwear and shorts, which are verv prac- tical for cold weather. A speeding ticket, a sprained ankle, a sleepless night over the tavern, and a lot of chuckles marked the Provincial Finals in which our girls competed.

We went undefeated during the regular season, including a game against a Calgary team. As the end of the season rolled around, we headed into the Foothills Division Champion- ship. As luck would have it, we made it to the finals, where we were beaten by a team which we had previously beaten twice in season play. Wayne Barker 1973 was an excellent season for senior basketball. The Spartans fielded their first-ever senior team in the Foothills Division competition. The team played in the newly-formed lay-Vee league. The team pushed through one of the best-ever seasons enjoyed by any Spartan team to wind up with a five and zero undefeated sea- son. The team then went into the playoffs and again won every game to win the championship for the Foothills Division. Shawn McCrae HOCKEY Although we really tried hard this year, our team lost all of its games as we played in the Calgary Separate Schools' junior High hockey league. I think that win or lose, our boys really enjoyed having the opportunity to represent S.T.S. in a sport such as hockey. I hope that we can see our team move up into some victories in the years to come. Ron Kluzak BADMINTON Our junior badminton team had a great season this year. The team won the Foothills Division team championship with three gold medals, three silver, and two bronze. Our boys won every single's competition in the tournament. Six of our Spartans went to the South Central Alberta champoinship in Olds. Again our boys played well, sweeping the single's competition with two gold and one silver medal. Our boys therefore walked off with the South Central Alberta team championship. Dave johnson TRACK 84 FIELD Our junior track and field team did very well this year considering the number of students on our team. In the Foothills Division champion- ship our Spartans placed fourth out of nine schools with six gold medals, four silver, and five bronze. The winners of the six gold medals all set Foothills' records. Ron Kluzak won the bantam boys' aggregate trophy for the most points in his division. S.T.S. qualified five athletes to advance to the South Central track and field meet in Sundre. Doug McKinnon RODEO The Spartan rodeo team became a reality this year. Of course, the outcome was not tre- mendous, but it was a good start. At the four rodeos which we competed in, Theresa Roenisch was the only winner, winning the goat tying event at Willow Creek rodeo, and then going on to win the Alberta and Canadian championship in her event. Theresa now goes down to the North American championships in Utah to represent S.T.S. and Canada. For the first year, the team did quite well. But more important than the results, a base has been set for years to come at S.T.S., and interest in rodeo can only grow. Bill Marks CANOEING This year the S.T.S. canoe club started pad- dling. Paddlers not only included students, but also a number of enthusiastic teachers. Our paddlers travelled across the province to paddle in Canadian White-Water Association sanctioned races. Four of our junior racers did exceptionally well. Sandy Morrison and Bruce Conway won the double canoe race in Sundre, while Rod Kirkham and Mark Heard won the Provincial C2 Downriver race for juniors. Our six-man voyageur crew made up of six husky teachers placed third in the Calgary Canoe Club four-mile race, and will travel to Edmonton to race in the Klondike Days' race. The double canoe team of Stan Piorecky and Brad Kilb have won gold medals in the Sundre Downriver race, the S.T.S. Invitational Slalom race, and the Provincial Downriver Cham- pionships. Stan and Brad have been asked to rep- resent Alberta in the 1973 Canadian Champion- ships to be held in Quebec at the end of the summer. ACADEMIC AWARDS Grade One Christina Riche Laura Shaefer j. D.
