Today I am pleased to report that we have turned the corner in the development of the school. We have often used the phrase The Strathcona-Tweedsmuir Family refer- ring to all of us, Madam Chairman, and this year I truly feel we have achieved this spirit. The staff has functioned as a team, more than ever, with a true spirit of cooperation and mutual understanding. Each department has formed an integral part of the total. It is the spirit that has brought the school to the point it is at now. lf our students have accomplished much, and part of today's ceremony is to recognize these accomplishments, it is due to our staff. We have turned a corner. The policy instituted in June of 1975 which changed our entrance requirements and promotion requirements is now being recognized. We have just finished our final exams and the work completed by most students this year is of a very high calibre. In our striving for excellence, Madam Chairman, we have raised our standards and required more of our students than ever before. I can guarantee to you, that this will continue. Next year we will defend our standards and continue to fight the growth of mediocrity in society. lt is schools like Strathcona-Tweedsmuir that are one of the bastions, to challenge the decline in society. Our school, Strathcona-Tweedsmuir must serve as a model to our young people to show them a true and right picture of life and how to live it. The increasing number of applicants and difficulties that are related to me, is an indication that Strathcona-Tweedsmuir is sewing a real need in our society. To survive today one must be stronger and we are inculcating this strength in our students. Some of the highlights of the year which were part and parcel of this strengthening process were the highly successful cross-country running team which made use of every able bodied member of the senior school, the Students Council which gave great leadership throughout the year, the new intramural program in the junior high which had 850!-, voluntary participation in more than a dozen different competitions, the public speaking contest which demands that most students learn to get on their two hind feet and speak in front of an audience, the largest school trap shooting club in Western Canada, the Vision Program, which permits honour students to spend school time visiting people and places in our community to broaden their horizons, the Student Aid Program which puts senior students in junior school classes to help teachers, the gymnastic team which this year has risen to far greater heights than could ever have been thought of for a school of our size, our junior school choir which again volunteered the entire division two students. We will listen to them sing, in a few moments.The volleyball, basketball, hockey, badminton and squash teams, which competed so well interscholastically, the speakers, movies, field trips, backpacking trips, cycling, mountain climbing, cross country skiing trips, camp outs by Division 1 and camping by Division ll, the largest number of entries in the Calgary school fair than ever before. The Winter Carnival and Open House involved more participation from students, the track and field team which broke several records in city and provincial competition was the biggest team ever fielded by Strathcona- Tweedsmuir School. The library also had a record year for students reading more books, magazines, newspapers than in any previous year. Our relationship with the University is growing closer. We appreciated having our high school hosted by you, Chancellor Kovitz, and I know the students are looking forward to your address. Dr. Cochrane also took the time to come to Strathcona-Tweedsmuir and sit down with the senior students and talk. l know l have left out some Toughening Happenings . The point I make is not only is there a tremendously wide variety of activities which strengthen the mind and the body and the spirit of our students, not only are many of the voluntary programs, compulsory, not only are our courses of study compulsory, but the majority of the students want this. The feeling is that the school knows what is good for students and we expect them to utilize these opportunities. Finally let me say au revoir to the grade twelve's. Liz Allely, Chris Baker, Amy Chen, Andrew Craine, Diane Ellis, Nancy Gammell, Robert Gammell, Nicholas Graham, Danny Hunt, Brad Kluzak, Jack Krusche, Brett Kyle, Molly Lawson, Gerald Maguire, Jane Mcquitty, Stephen Wu, and President Kathie Robertson. You have formed a deep and lasting friendship, not only with one another, but with your teachers. These friendships will last a lifetime and will serve you in good stead. The reason for the development of these friendships is you caring for each other. Take this away with you from Strathcona- Tweedsmuir. By caring and by sharing you make friends. A genuine concern for your fellow man and a willingness to give of yourself and your talents, will be the measure of your success by this school. We will be watching you in the future. We will say, they were successful, when we see your life demonstrating a care for your fellow man and a sharing with your fellow man. God Bless You. yr-'li if jf wg Jug HEADMASTER W.A.

As Director of Athletics for five years, Mr. Kilb put the school on the map in sports and physical education programs. He coached the Senior Girls' Volleyball Team with considerable success and initiated the annual Western Canadian Independent Schools' Volleyball Championship. He co-founded the White-Water Canoe Club and raced both provincially and nationally. He developed and introduced the school's Adventure Program which has become a significant feature of our total program. Mr. Kilb's many interests comprised skiing, riding, polo, mountaineering and, more recently, writing. His book, Flatwater Canoeing is to be published this year. Mr. Kilb introduced the fieldhouse concept for STS, a plan which is now to become a reality. He also established the Kilb Award for the Outstanding Senior High Student in Outdoor Pursuits. Mr. Kilb leaves STS to join the Physical Education Faculty at The University of Calgary. 1 I --f , X 5, 7m ,fe f I! A' 5, 1 - 1, 'ya .1 Y Miss Pat Fischer 11974-1976!

I went up the river and into the Pacific Ocean to where the salmon were feeding. An hour after we arrived the mist and fog rolled in over us and we could not see anything. We were lost for ten hours in the mist and then a wind came up and blew the mist away. lt was very scary to be lost in the mist for so long, but we did catch lots of salmon.

She was wondering if she would get smacked again. Every day in her life was happy, except that she got smacked. Sometimes her Mum did it, sometimes her Dad did it, sometimes her aunts, uncles, grannies and grandpas smacked her. Elea was tired of getting smacked so she decided to run away and stay there until she could defend herself. She started out right away. At midday she stopped to rest. She rested in some water. Then she saw a log. She decided to use it for a pillow. She put her head on it. It moved and started biting her all over. She jumped out of the pool and was just about to go when sharp teeth jumped and held onto her trunk. They would not let her go and her trunk grew longer and longer. Finally, it left. Her trunk was very long. Soon she realized that she could smack her Mum, Dad, aunts, uncles, grannies and grandpas. And so she did. Now all elephants have long trunks.

There are many number periods groups of three digits that are rarely used in day-to-day life. One of these is a google that is a one with a hundred zeroes af- ter it. A googieplex is a one with a google zeroes after it. billion a one with a mere nine zeroes after it is a huge number. To prove the true size of a billion l made some cal- culations. lf a person could say a number every second for seven hours a day seven days a week it would still take him over 108 years to count to a billion. But saying N . l 1 f 1 ' 5 1 F g J T Nz ' ' f ' J J N- ' - J Q K' 'J' T 1 lx- ..i, X '- l 1 'r X X X 1 --f ff ..2 . , X These are the two largest-named periods.

The time period would be even greater. The approximate weight of the earth is 6.6 Sextillion tons or 13.2 septillion pounds. lt is hard for me to imagine such a weight. lt would mean 16.5 trillion tons for each and every inhabitant on earth. Think of the biceps Atlas must have! But for a more realistic example, let's use a moun- tain. To be specific, Turtle Mountain, famous for the Frank Slide in southern Alberta. lt has been estimated that anywhere from seventy million to two hundred mil- lion tons fell into the valley below. lf you look at this mountain, you can see that very little of the whole has actually broken off, maybe one-tenth. Yet if the total of the fallen rock was evenly split between the four billion humans, there would be from thirty-five to one hundred pounds each! Distances are also difficult to comprehend when using large numbers. The circumferance of our earth at the equator is 24,902.45 miles. To walk at a pace of five miles per hour for ten hours a day, it would take almost one year and three months to complete the distance. Yet, by going at the speed of light, you could traverse this distance seven times in one second. It sounds in- credible but it is true. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. The ninety-three million miles between the sun and the earth is crossed in eight minutes. But the nearest star, next to the sun, Alpha Centauri, is 4.3 light years away. Travel- ling at the incredible speed mentioned above, it would take 4.3 years to arrive there. At the end of the observable universe are galaxies five billion light years away. It would take five billion years for us to realise if it has died, another five billion years to send our condolences. l believe l have proven my point. If we use them for mathematics, weight or the vast distances of space, large numbers are incomprehensible. David Komlodl l 1 - I wz-- - - S- . . X , If f ' ' Grade 9 if I XXX io'ii-some y Q 'gL .

This radiation, it was found, destroyed only human blood cells and nothing else. The new discovery was stolen, almost simultaneously, by the U.S.A., Russia and China. Each country loaded its nuclear weapons with this radiation and waited as they had for almost fifty years. No one knew who started the war. No one knew who won. Five months after the end of the war, January 16, 1994, no one was alive to remember it. One June 25, 1994 the last man on Earth died at the American Base in Antarctica. But forty men and women were left alive. Twenty were orbiting Earth in Space Station Earth One. There were another twenty on Moon Base Serenity. Forty men and women to carry on the human race in a totally hostile environment for three centuries while they waited for the Cobalt 62 to be washed out of the atmosphere. THE BEGINNING The probe had finished its work. Radiation was down to normal and the Earth was fit for man to live on once more. The probe showed an abundance of wildlife and vegetation. In fact the whole world was ready for man. And when the world was ready, so was man. lt was October 9, 2294. The space shuttle, Eagle, landed at 22:00 hours. The first man to step on the Earth for three hundred years was called Mark Fteeman. He was the director of the Project Zeus which serviced the ships for three hundred years until they reached Earth. They landed at the remains of Cape Kennedy Space Centre. Two hours later, they left. Forever. Half an hour after they had landed, a single, blue-white ball which gave off an incredible amount of heat and light appeared before the party and materialized into a human being. And then it spoke: We are sorry you came back. We did not want to do this to you. But we have decided that you are bad for Earth. You must never come here again, lf you do not leave here in a quarter of an hour, you will be transported to the Moon by us. Who are you? What are you? Where did you come from? asked Fteeman, explosively. I am Spathe. I am a mutation of your race and I come from Earth. Please leave. Fteeman tried to speak but he couldnt Something stopped him I am sorry you have to leave but it is necessary Soon our masters will arrive and they might destroy you We are sorry but we do this for you This time Pteeman could speak but when he opened his mouth he found himself in the control room of the Eagle three hundred miles above the Earth heading towards Serenity Base And through the observation posts he saw the Earth bathed in a bright blue white glow lt was ours once Then he turned towards the hostile Moon his home and that of the human race Forever David Longcroft Grade 8 ,K WJJQTA il lf VK -1 Ji Xt X t , , .

A l.- 4.3, Ed Klassen David Fathi A PROPHECY BY David Komlodi Ladies and Gentlemen: The Tapir is going to take over the World. Yes. .. the Tapir. You may be asking yourself a combina- tion of these three questions:- 1. How are the Tapirs going to take over the World? 2. When is this take-over going to occur? 3. What the devil is a Tapir? l will attempt to answer these questions. The Tapir is an American mammal with a flexible proboscis. It has a short tail, small feet and a pig- like head. NOW ..,.... How can a pig- headed creature rule the World you ask? Well, Man did ...,. However, the Tapir will go about it in a different manner. The process has already begun! Starting from two strategic points, Southern Malaysia and a swamp south of Managua, Nicaragua, spies have infiltrated the upper echelons of both Capitalist countries and Totalitarian alike. Tapirs have taken hold of secret documents without leaving a clue. Who would ever think of looking for trunk prints? Tapirs have gained followers from various other species, in an atempt to overwhelm any human defence. This would be easy - Environmentalists would not allow the killing of the poor defenceless animals. But why, do the tapirs desire command of the planet? Do they have an inborn hatred of man? Or some mad psychosis? Or is it perhaps a publicity stunt? NO. The revolt is upon us. We must do something before it is too late.

They wither and die, gasping for pure air. Man is the most intelliegent of all creatures. But he is a slow learner. David Fathi Grade 9 The Gentle Art of Head-Shrinking ln my opinion, head-shrinking is the most absorbing and relaxing hobby I have yet tried. Many people are misled into thinking this hobby involves skill and concentration but here they are wrong. I started with only a family recipe consisting of a mixture of herbs and spices, but beginners need just a cooking pot, scalpel, gloves and a smooth object. The standard procedure is to remove the skull, and, in my case, soak it thoroughly in the speed-shrinking mixture. Then the head is sus- pended above a smokeless fire and the facial expressions stroked for twenty to twenty-five minutes. Voila! The result is a handy souvenir that can be hung conveniently from the belt. The art itself is slowly gaining popularity after a brief lull of three or four centuries. People all over the world are finding out how econom- ical and satisfying it is to start their own collections of shrunken heads. Hobby shops and trophy hunters will usually pay a minimum of seventy-five dollars for a well-preserved head. Unfortunately, the common practice is to shrink heads of people with great prestige. This omits ninety per cent of Calgary's population. A beginner may always start with English staff, but this is usually frowned on by masters of the field. Also, the heads of certain English teachers are swollen beforehand as a result of conceit! On the contrary to turning out well, they have been known to omit putrid odors. Although the hobby of head-shrinking is proceeding slowly, it is sure to capture the hearts of all Canadians. It is economical, convenient, and offers attractive results. - Another neat suggestion from Jonathan Swift's Hobby Shop 4' if r q,qQ K, N, 6' o if ff s 2' 'I at S Q-o 9 E' QQ .rg Q5-,,, '42 3-2 35' vt?

For a few brief minutes it was Chem 20 all over again, a brilliant synthesis of one b d wrote: l of the most inane classes in high school. But forget what the ar once come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones. This tour de force of character study by a group of twenty-one talented individuals would put Olivier to shame. The cast included Mrs.Kirkham who was winsome as Shirley Willey and Mr. K'lb ho did a masterful job in his cameo appearance as Brett Kool. John Strath- i w muir, Slip Sturgess, Steve Kleen, Andy Lousy and Fred Furlong as the back of the ll M .S h 't and class crowd were played by Mr. Keller, Mr. Wilson, Mr. McConne , r c mi Mrs. Foster respectively. Polly Dawson, the class whiz kid, was, aptly enough, Dr. Nosal. Randy Draine, tied and jacketed, was played by Mr. Ditchburn who could not quite submerge his extroverted behavior despite valiant attempts. Never mind! We enjoyed the signs: Peasant etc. Mrs. Widney was Tubby Gonesometimesg Patches Headstrong the class rowdy was played by our quiet librarian, Mrs. Ro chan and Julie Body, who arrived in class in a gym suit half-way through the P performance, was Mrs. Coyne. When Mrs. Coyne played Julie, her gymnastics skill ' H W ll- came in handy, as she did acrobatics throughout the lesson arvey a banger, the student who always manages to have a music lesson when a test is announced, was played by Mr. Nelson. Smiling Jack was played by Mr. Hay, Steve Boss, the one with the literary talent, by Mr. Freight, Fred Blooper by Mr. Koning and Nick Greyman, the school vice-president, by Mr. Tottenham. One wonders what happened to Kathie. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hughes, the parents of six pros- pective students were the people upon whom the class was supposed to make a d ' sion Mrs Hughes emerged wearing an extraordinary costume like goo impres . . something the tubes might dredge up. It included enormous fishnet platforms and a short mink coat as well as an extremely long cigarette holder. Mrs. Hughes was played by Mrs. Desrochers and Mr. Hughes by Mr. Thompson. The acoustics in the gym were so bad you may not have heard the pre-class chatter. There was loud talk about the Okotoks Winter Carnival, about the party at Shylock's the night before and also of preparations for the dance-who was taking whom. lt was all so typical of our classes it was hilarious. lt was a look at ourselves through the teachers' eyes. It managed to include every character in the school, while still being good fun. The teachers seemed to enjoy it at least as much as we did and I hope this is not the last dramatic attempt we shall see from the Staff Room Thespians.

Once again He had proven himself Superior To the lesser beasts, And he was swelled with pride, But this brave, courageous, and great man Was too blind to see That without realizing, He had created A perfectly False world That was a Mirror image, Of his own life of captivity.

Nicholas Graham Grade 12 LIFE WITH JOSEPH We're not as quick as we used to be. As a matter of fact, we're not quick at all, Joseph and I. To do justice badly needed to both of us, I should say with combined efforts we are in great shape, considering age and that Joseph drools, and can't hear as well as he used to. I'm not a complainer nor do I squibble about comfort, but I am getting on, and if someone is going to make a habit of drooling on me, I'd prefer it to be myself. lOf course I don't droolj and no one else, and if, I ask for a bedpan, I don't want a banana, and most of the time, I don't want to listen to Joseph describe in detail his episode with the Indians way back when. Ah, but really Joseph is my best friend-my only friend. We love to reminisce, telling our jokes and saying with smiles on our faces. Ah, those were the days. But I've heard all Joseph's stories and jokes and none of my own. That is why I need a listener so that I may tell my side ofthe story. When I first met Joseph, I was a mere boy just coming to my senses, that point in life when I found out I was alive. We were very good friends from the beginning. We were inseparable. I remember people frequently mistaking me for Jo- seph since we were always together. I thought I recognised it as a common human error. We went to the same schools together, received the same grade, and liked and disliked the same things-it was an almost perfect friendship. Although we had a very unique relationship, we did have our conflicts-rare but deadly. Joseph could be so careless and irresponsible at times and how he got me into trouble! Once I remember at the age of 11, we ventured off to the candy store to satisfy a sweet tooth. While I was milling over the little delights, Joseph whispered in my ear, Steal some . I was shocked at this suggestion and told him certainly not, but he insisted and tried to show me how. I guess the frantic whispering caught the proprietor's attention who was just in time to see Joseph stuffing candy into his pockets. When I looked around, a very big man was heading for Joseph-and I was scared.Being of quick mind and forgiving soul I jumped in front of Joseph and told the proprietorthat it was I who was to blame and that Joseph was innocent. He grabbed me by the scruff of the neck and booted me into a small closet without a word. I was lost without Joseph and the room was small, dark, and hot, and I couldnt understand why Joe didn't help me. I cried myself to sleep. After the store closed, a burst of light hit me and I couldn't open my eyes-it was horrible. Joseph was there and the shaking that had started since I was brutally shoved into the closet, stopped. Father whipped me good and hard that night even though I told him over and over ll hate to squeal, but ... lJoseph did it and I covered for him. He didn't understand and I decided right then and there I would never speak to Father again. As we grew, women folk took a big part in our lives. Our efforts never went unrewarded even if all it was was a peck on the cheek. ln normal circumstances, the girl of our fancy, who was obliging to go to a show, never would oblige again. We thought it was just that we were too much. Getting on inthe years, we never married and our friendship was therefore never preoccupied with someone else. Oh, it wasn't as if we weren't suitable, we were, on the contrary, a handsome pair to say the least. lt's just that Joseph and I never desired companionship from anyone else. So here we are, together since childhood, encountering the same experiences. Infact ldon't remember a situation where we both weren't in- volved. Why, the reason why I am lwith Josephj in this white hospital is due to his hip injury resulting from a fall just last week. As Joseph and I were walking to our apartment from the grocery store, our feet gave way on the ice and we ended up helpless on the sidewalk. My doctor here calls me Joseph and he hardly knows us. I don't understand him but I'm too tired to argue. Fatigue sets in rather fast these days. As a matter of fact, I can't go into everlasting sleep now for Joseph wants to live and without me he is nothing but a vegetable so to speak. And now I must regretfully say good-bye for the doctor is going to take me and call me by that name and ruin everything. Hello Joseph, and how are we this morning? Oh, I see by your chart that you've been refusing the pills. Not good, not good, the intern remarked as he held Joseph Weber's wrist. Nancy Gammell Grade 12 Winner, short story SHORT STORY THE FUGITIVE It was a cool morning and a thin coating of frost covered the scattered patches of yellow-green grass. Lying in a clump of dead bushes was a man. His name was Harold Simms. He was 6' 2 , had short black hair and cold grey eyes. He was 23V2 years old but looked much older. Slowly Harold rose to his feet and stretched. He was wearing a pair of red and white joggers, a dark black suit and tie and a tight- fitting green squall jacket. He shouldered his canvas knapsack and jogged to the edge of the meadow. After clambering over three fences he reached the woods and slowed his pace to a walk. As he entered the cool woods he be- gan contemplating the past few days. Harold remembered clearly the bare features of his barred cell and wondered why he had re- ceived such a fate. After all, he was only 23Vz and wanted for kil- ling a policeman. If caught, he would hang for sure. He was to hang on the 29th. at 5:00, but through an ingenious plan he had made, he was able to escape. Now, on the 29th. he found him- self walking through a leafy wood instead of by a row of barred cells to a room with no exit. Anyway, he had escaped and that was all that mattered right now. Harold tripped over a load of fallen trees and then he realized that the cool breeze had become a stiff wind. Oh well, he had only four hours to go before he reach- ed the border and crossed to a new beginning. He sat down to rest. When he resumed his jour- ney, he noted that it was 1:00. He travelled for three hours and then ate a small lunch of bread and ham. After he had finished, he doggedly trudged along against the fierce wind. Dark clouds gath- ered overhead and the sky grew black. lt was 4:45 and Simms had only half a mile to go when the wind became gale force. The trees bent over and it became very hard to see. The wind chilled him right to the bone. Harold walked a little bit to his right and found himself beside a well-greased railroad track and he knew the border was not far off. Suddenly he heard a train whistle and realized a train was coming down the tracks. He tried to move away from the tracks, but the wind was too strong. As the train came speeding down the tracks and passed by Harold, his tie was whipped out by the wind and was jammed in one of the freight cars. He was dragged the 200 yards to the border. When the guards found Har- old, his face was purple and dis- torted and his eyes were glassy and filled with horror. They mut- tered, He didn't have a chance! Harold was dead as a doornail and, strangely, enough, the hands on his watch said exactly 5:00. Sara Goldstein Grade 7 THE FLU EPIDEMIC Recently there has been much talk about the flu. Epidemiologists say there will be a flu epidemic in the fall of 1976 as deadly as the one in 1918. As everyone seemed so concerned about this flu I decided to find a little more information about the 1918 epidemic. There were several names given to the flu but the most popular one was the Spanish Lady because everyone had reason to believe that it all started in Madrid, Spain. The flu couldn't have come at a worse time because the war was on, there was a shortage in food and already many lives had been lost in the war. The flu hit suddenly and without warning. Men and women walking down streets suddenly stopped as if stabbed, clutching the nearest post or person they could find and slowly fell to the ground un- consious. People became panicky and worried that they would all be wiped out. The flu affected men, women and children. Even animals were affected, especially pigs. Altogether they estimated that over 21 million people died and over a billion people were affected in the short period of 3 months. In Ottawa, as elsewhere in Canada, there were so many cases of the flu that schools were closed down and buildings were used as centres to care for the people who were unable to get into the over- crowded hospitals. When they didn't have enough hot water bags, they used hot bricks wrapped in news- papers to keep the patients' feet warm. Nearly every home was hit by the disease. People left food and hot drinks on their flu-stricken neighbors' doorsteps being afraid to enter. Volunteers opened up soup kit- chens but in some families there wasn't even one member well enough to go and pick it up. Doctors and nurses worked night and day and many of them got the flu. People wore medicated masks that were changed every two hours to protect themselves. Private cars, delivery vans were also used as am- bulances and they ran a non-stop shuttle service. There were many deaths and the dead were buried immediately and often without a ceremony. There were no antibiotics in those days so patients were treated with the fruit and water diet and lots of fresh air. I think we're very fortunate to have all the modern medicines so that if the flu should strike again we will be well prepared. David Thakker Grade 7 1 lfvgdx, .J .
