Honored guests, ladies, gentlemen and students, welcome to the seventh annual prize-giving day and closing exercises for Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School. For our graduating class, this is a very special day, and it is to our graduates that I would like to address my opening remarks. In our society, the end of Grade Twelve represents a landmark. You have suddenly gained the status of young adults - and as young adults, society expects you to begin to take control of your own lives. And that involves choices - lots of them. One of the important choices you will be making in the next few weeks will be the selection of a university and the programme you are going to follow. Or, your choice may be to postpone university and spend a year or two developing a new perspective - in work experience or travel. When you are pondering your choice - setting your goal for the im ediate future - take a moment to think of the choices that were made by your parents in bringing you to this moment when the future lies so bright before you. Your parents made a choice when they selected this school for you. It wasn't the easy route that they took. They committed themselves to not only a significant financial outlay, but they also made a commitment to a philosophy - the philosophy on which this school was built. This might be a good time to take a moment to think of how our school came to be, and of what is really happening here. The great traditions of Western Canada are founded in courage, vision, and personal initiative, and these factors are what led a group of Calgary citizens, a few years ago, to look for something better for their children, and then get to work to make it happen. They had two choices. One was to take the easy route, letting someone else, that elusive Htheyn we hear so much about, make the decisions for their children's education. Or, they could choose to develop a school in which they could bring into focus the philosophy of personal commitment, self-motivation and responsibility. Somehow, after making their choice, they found a way to make it happen, and our School, as we know it today has developed. And it is still evolving. We, your parents and their representatives on the Board, are still making choices, and accepting the responsibility for those choices. Whether consciously or not, you have been influenced by the philosophy that created our School. It is a philosophy which I believe can help you to carve a future for yourselves - a future that will bring you a large measure of satisfaction as you find the value in personal commitment, self-motivation and responsibility for your own lives. Good luck with those choices! 5 faculty fi Ar' -Qi.. 4 EVN r Wbw? l 't'fM 'W 'aid 33' -ifq 'www Mm Qc.-Q v-'iw T Eglggtyf kms an 4, 'LSR X1 -dim Nav! c N t, 'i Q xxx NNJ 'xxbflff gy, 1 . ol!!

SARAH HOOD GRADE 1 WATERBEDS Waterbeds for Mom and me, when we turn we wave like the sea. Then I get in I'm all cozy, But the kids outside are all frozy. Hatch out for sharp things, You'll cut the waterbed, Zip, zap, zing. when we filled it we put in bleach So seaweed wouldn't grow just like the Sea. SCOTT HOLT GRADE 2 f1JB,9.AI5.li.'IQ.-E.U.FfX Small and tan and old and spry, Our Coco has a wary eye. She watches when you come about, In case you're going to throw her out. Big and white and young and lazy, Sometimes Snowball acts quite crazy. He walks around and then goes plop. He looks just like an old floor mop. Huge and grey and young and tough , Fluffy scares the others, he's so rough. He makes himself big and looks in the door And lets out with a terrible,horrible roar CHANTEL JENSEN GRADE 4 22 PATIENCE near the back of the yard, In a tree A spider was working very hard. A low flying bird spotted the spider, And he flew down and sat down beside her. Said the bird, HYou've been working for such a long while, Your pattern is perfect, you've such a strange style. The north wind will come soon and blow it away. Make a rough job, you're gone half the day.H HTo catch good flies you must do a good job. I've a great deal of patience and I'll catch a big mob. To make a good web you must have lots of pride, And that's just what I'll do,H the spider replied. SNOW As the North wind blows, It tingles my toes. And the Nest breeze Freezes my knees As a snow fort goes It tickles my nose. And the wind is an ace, As it blows in my face. I really like snow. It is such a show. As it goes a prancing It looks like it's dancing The frosty glossy snow. SANDRA RAE GRADE 6B CATHERINE KOMLODI GRADE 5A ,.,,, if 'E JI f wx :V Q v THE FOREST It's spring in the forest, And the air is crisp and cold. The leaves are growing on the trees The daffodils are gold. Squirrels scamper up the trees A fawn falls to the ground The birds are chirping in the sky Then silence strikes - no sound. Now the animals scramble and hide As a man and his son draw near. They build a fire to keep themselves warm And the forest is soon full of fear. The man and boy are leaving now But the embers they lit still burn. The creatures of the forest wonder, will they ever learn? DEBORAH KOMLODI GRADE 6A 23 Q K' x EPITAPH Dry twigs tangled in a web of bitterness Try to conceal the neglected remains, Intricate patterns like splintered ice Spiracles of white Carried by gusts of biting wind Blanket the solitary remnant, Grey like dusk on a bleak day. Darkness obscures vision Of an escaped memory Inscribed on its desolate face: HPeople die only when forgotten.H PAMELA KNIGHT GRADE 12 Locke Poetry Contest Award SO MANY MONKEYS Monkeys, monkeys, moo I Shall we buy a few ?

ALISON BROOMAN GRADE 8A 25 LUCKE SHURT ST DRY ALL THE WORLD'S A FLOORBOARD Before they signed the purchase papers the contractor assured my parents that he would personally see to it that every problem common to a new home would be set in order and, true to his word, he fixed everything my mother told him was wrong. He even repainted an entire wall that the moving men scraped when they carried in the stereo set. However, there was one problem that seemed more difficult than the others. when anyone walked down the hallway there was a loud squeak that could be heard throughout the house. Mr. Anderson, the contractor, believed that the squeak could be fixed by nailing the guilty floorboard from underneath, in the basement. He worked on it for several days but the squeak seemed louder than ever before. Mr. Anderson finally gave up trying and told my parents that the carpet would have to be raised in order to get at the board properly. He told them not to worry, that the carpet men would be coming the following week, and that then the floor would rest in peace. It all seems so long ago now that I really can't remember the circumstances, perhaps the carpet men were overbooked, or one of us had the measles, but the carpet men never came. The carpet was never raised and the squeak was never fixed. At first the noise bothered my mother very much. I can remember her telling my dad many times that they would never be able to sell the house, if they had to, with that loose floorboard screaming out for a few nails. But like so many things in life that bother us, we learned to live with the loose floorboard and soon the noise of it became part of the hum of existence. To be perfectly honest, the noisy squeak was sometimes a household helper. A little squeak meant that the baby was near the stairs and that the safety gate should be checked. A still lesser squeak meant that the cat was heading for a night on the town, so open the door and let her out. As we grew up that loose floorboard was to play an important part in our lives. We now laughingly call that board the Htruth tablen, but at the time it didn't always produce a smile. when we first started going out at night my parents set a curfew, but they never stayed up until we arrived home. They didn't have to. They had that damned floor- board. Over the years the melody remained the same, but the lyrics changed weekly. HYou're a half hour late, but thank God you're home safely. Goodnight.H Hwhat can you possibly be doing until two o'clock in the morning ?H nIt's about time you're home. You've missed breakfast. what are the neighbors going to think ?H The girls in my family had to listen to the same tune, but the lyrics were slightly different. HOnly tramps stay out after one o'clock in the morning.Your father will have plenty to say to you tomorrow.H 26 The one that really iced an already sore head and sour stomach, as the sun was rising in the east was, Hwhen you've worried me to death, don't come crying to my funeral. Just let the whole world know that you killed your mother Ne all tried to circumvent that floorboard, but to no avail only prolonged the symphony. from a neighboring board Recently we had a were working. One of the up to the hardware store new men for with worry.H . Crawling over it Jumping over it produced a thud and a sympathetic groan while the carpet men carpet laid. Ne were eating our lunch came into the kitchen and told my mother that he was going nails so that he could repair a slightly loose floorboard in the hallway. She thanked him but refused his kind offer by saying,UPlease don't destroy the ecology of this house. That floorboard has served me well. That's my built- in warning system. It doesn't bark or biteg it doesn't shedg it doesn't need a licence and I don't have to feed it.H The young man seemed puzzled and we all looked at each other with that look that implied we didn't want Mom letting strangers know of her approaching senility. The workman returned to the hallway and in a few seconds we all followed him. Ne wanted to look at that strange device before it was covered by that new carpet for another fifteen years. Never can tellg we might need one of those in our own homes someday. PAUL MCKENNA GRADE 12 MINNER, LOCKE SHORT STORY CONTEST, 1978. A STORY ABOUT A GIRL WHO LOST HER DOG I woke up last Thursday and went to see my dog Blackie but he was not there. I went to get my Mom and told her that the dog was lost. I got my friend Deidre and we went looking for the dog. Ne heard a band. It was a circus band, so we went to the circus. Ne watched the circus and at the end a man held up a big box . He opened the box and there was Blackie. He asked if anyone owned the dog. I said it was mine so we went home very happy and played with Blackie. AISLING REIDY GRADE I MY DOG My door is wrecked. My dog did it. He did it with his teeth. It cost 550. My dad got very mad. He got so mad we sold him. ROBBIE MCCALLUM GRADE I l 27 I have been that if you repeat mind, and also the not be long before to plant a garden. THE TRIALS OF VEGETABLE GARDENING working on an advertising project for Mrs. Foster, and everyone says anything often enough, it will eventually Hsink inn. with this in emphasis recently about Hgetting back to naturen, I know that it will someone in my family gets the bright idea that it is time once more How well I remember last year - indeed, I was quite enthusiastic, for we happen to have a farm near Calgary and I could envision row upon row of delicious, edible goodies. But it didn't quite work out that way. Having a patch plowed was easy. We watched someone else do it, but to find a crew to build a small fence was like finding hen's teeth. They would do it next month, next year, or even last year, but not then. HNo problem,U said Father,Hwe will do it ourselves - must be good and strong - seven footers, well-pounded in, and a spot of barbed wire.H We hauled posts. We dug holes. We pounded. In spite of a line and measure, the posts were somewhat zig-zag, because every time I hit a rock, I certainly wasn't going to waste time digging it out. I dug a hole next to it, east or west. The line of posts resembled in straightness something like the hind leg of a donkey. Father shook his head, but there was no time to redo it. He did not even give my blisters time to heal before he headed for the wire. Have any of you ever done battle with a shiny new roll of barbed wire? You get one end stapled to the first post and carry the roll on an iron rod to the last post. I thought it weighed five hundred pounds, or maybe one thousand, but by the time we reached the last post, I had revised my thinking to two thousand pounds. Next, you use a wrecking bar to tighten the wire from the first post, pulling around the first post until the wire is taut. NTighter,H said Father, Hit doesn't ping.H Nell, if the first post is not well and truly anchored, it will decide to collapse as you tighten the wire. This means starting all over again, and shows that you did not do what you were supposed to do in the first place. Another thing I learned was that barbed wire is as cunning as elastic. when you attach one end and try to tighten it to the next post, the first end waits until you are bending down, busy with staples, then it whips around and hits you a stinging blow on the backside. HB0-ingn it shouts gleefully as you leap forward, in great pain, barbs impaling every part of you within reach. Hwhy are you dancing about like that?H asked Father. HGet on with it. The seeds should be in.H with blood dripping, I carried on until the fence was considered horse-proof. Everything Father does has to be horse-proof or bull-proof or both. Then came the fertilizer. Not for us the artificial kind. Oh dear me no. It had to be the real stuff, right from the barn. The tractors were busy elsewhere, so it came down to good old me, with a wheelbarrow and pitch-fork, digging in an ancient barn, whose floor, I do declare, could not possibly have seen the light of day since 1900. I plodded back and forth for hours, indeed days. 28 Father decided to mechanize the next step. Time was running out. It is all very well to have plows and discs churning up your garden, but clearing up afterwards is something else. There were ruts so deep at the turns that I could easily have buried a cow, let alone a lettuce seed. However, after much groaning, and the thought of Hfood to comen, these canyons were raked over and seeding began. Carrots and onions, beets and squash. Row after row of potatoes. As I disposed of each one - hole, plop, cover - I could envisage them multiplying into a couple of tons of French fries, sizzling golden brown. You name the seed, we had some. No sooner had I finished putting in the last row when Father came to inspect. HTime to start weeding,H he said. HGood grief,H I replied, Hhow could they grow so quickly?H But they had. There they were, millions of them, a sea of disgustingly healthy green weeds, and not a vegetable in sight. After hours of diligent hoeing, I sank exhausted into bed very night. Soon the vegetables were showing. I was ecstatic, and watered with abandon, until the well went dry. Then Father had to have a new well drilled at huge expense. But we didn't give up. The sun shone. I weeded and watered, and all the vegetables were looking great, until the animals found them. The rabbits were the first. They nibbled contentedly on the lettuce, until they were confined to an escape-proof pen. Some kind of worm ate twenty-five per cent of the onions. The sunflowers were a sheer delight of nodding yellow, towering to great heights, until the horses ate the tops off the tallest ones. Two of the pigs wiggled from their pens - they loved the carrots. A few days later I noticed a row of green skeletons and found to my horror that the pretty butterflies I had admired so much had deposited eggs, now caterpillars, which were rapidly devouring the complete cabbage crop. After a vigorous campaign of extermination, the damage was assessed at fifty per cent. Another day the turkeys decided that they would investigate the growing greenery. Never before had they strayed into that area, but after a morning visit our pea crop had been reduced considerably. A pet pigeon had a ball with the strawberries, and the chickens considered our garden very inviting, it must have been open season for them on bugs and shoots.0nly the spinach grew in unparalleled splendour - horrible and dark green, it positively flourished. Nothing liked it, not even I. Once we found small red potato beetles on the leaves, and these had to be plucked off, though I never did discover why. I had no intention of eating potato leaves. A few gophers decided to set up house-keeping right in the middle of the pumpkin patch. when they sat up and waved at me, whilst chewing a squash, I decided that was it. I hosed them down. Then, one day the old milk cow waddled over and managed to get her head in between the fence wires. Corn was her specialty, and she happily munched all within neck reach The potatoes looked good, but we were somewhat atsonished to find that one side of every row contained plant. The mystery was on his hands and knees out the largest tubers the plants! He did not no tubers, and even I knew that potatoes grew all around the solved when we discovered that one of the tenants had been seen in the garden patch in the middle of the night, he was scooping from each side as he sped up every other row without disturbing stay our tenant very long. However, despite a rapidly depleted crop, the remainder of the salad items was delicious, and there was ample for the final harvest. The squash were superb. The pumpkins huge - and the spinach just grew and grew. By the end of September it was all over. The first frost had come and at last we could relax. 29 But you know, I have come to the conciusion that to grow vegetabies takes courage - courage to combat the disasters. The one thing that a gardener must always remember is to pIant enough for aII the animais, birds and bugs within a two section radius. As I clip out advertisements for my project, I see the packets of seeds with their tantaiizing pictures of juicy, coIorfuI fruits are aiready avaiIabTe. Sureiy it cannot be that time of the year again ? Maybe they wiTI not repeat the advertisements very much this year. But if they do, I know Father wiIT be at it again, and I wiTT be pIanting. StiII, isn't it nice to think, that if aII eIse faiIs, thank heavens for the supermarket. POETRY This is but a poem, It's purpose is to rhyme. No genie is inside, But read between the Tines. One couid find a prince, A dragon fierce to siay, To bring his bride its biood And win her Tove that way. One couid find the stars, Perhaps a cosmic ray, Truth about the worId, Eternai Iife to stay. You must imagine this, That what you find, A poem is ours together, Not yours or mine.

ED KLASSEN GRADE IIA 30 A WARNING Recently, feminists throughout the U.S. were up in arms when a member of their ranks was denied permission to change her surname. The woman, a Ms. Cooperman, thought the latter part of her name sexist, and wished to be henceforth known as Ms. Cooper- person. This fanatical feminist's folly proves that there is indeed a plot afoot to neuter the English language, a plot which, if successfully carried out, will make our language not the most egalitarian and non-sexist on earth, but surely the most ridic- ulous. In the event of this happening, a large number of our everyday words would have to be altered so as to be no longer sexist. The word Hmaneuvern, for example, would become Hpersoneuvern, and Hmentionn, Hpeopletionn. Dedicated doctors would battle the dread disease of personingitis. Criminals would be brought to trial on charges of personslaughter. Personual laborers, unhappy with their jobs, may read the Communist Personifesto. These alterations in our language would, needless to say, render it incomprehensible. But, that is only part of it. Neutering words is only one thing, doing the same to names is another. Gregor Mendel, father of genetics, were he alive today, would be branded a male chauvinist if he did not change his name to Persondel. The same would apply to Mendelejeff, inventor of the periodic table of the elements, who would be obliged to call himself Persondelejeff. However, the saddest casualty of all this would not be some long dead man of science, but a present-day resident of Seattle named Manny Man. Even if the feminists are appeased, and all English words and names are neutered it is possible that some extremists may still not be satisfied. For example, supposing Hmanifoldn becomes Hpersonifoldu. Some women's libbers may argue that it is still a male-oriented word, and demand that the nsonn be changed to Hchildn, resulting in nperchildifoldu. This non-sexist version is very different from the original, in addition to being quite a mouthful. If this drastic plot is carried out, it would be only fair for the male sex to demand equal time. The hard layer forming the inside of a mollusc shell would be called parent-of-pearl. Itsicanes, tropical cyclones with winds of seventy-four miles per hour and over, would buffet coastal areas. An abdominal injury, resulting from lifting a heavy load, would be called an itsnia. If we are going to neuter the language, we must at least be consistent. I have endeavoured to outline the terrible things that would happen if the feminist design succeeds. I have endeavoured to show that we must not let it succeed. We must oppose it wholeheartedly, and fight it tooth and claw every inch of the way. We must preserve our language, just as it is, for all of MANkind.

Well my twelve years at good old Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School have finally come to an end. The School was not always known as Strathcona-Tweedsmuir though. My first years were spent at Strathcona School for Boys. Now that was an education...between learning how to tie my tie, skate make excuses for not running the cross country, to say nothing of reading writing and arithmetic, the early years were kept quite busy. In Grade One I was under the care and guidance of Mr. Howard, our Headmaster at the time. Mr. Howard was when it came time for boys to air their a strong believer in boxing gloves differences. Subsequently, I spent my first one and a half weeks nursing my battle tattered, blood stricken nose. Mr. Howard might have believed in the fundamental method of solving an argument but fortunately for me he also believed fight and as small and as inexperienced After my first year a new man real rookie by the name of Heard. With knew I wasn't too sure about him at the in the fundamental principle of a fair as I was, I found that a true comfort. took over the job of Headmaster. A my Grade Two insight and wisdom I time. To me he just did not look right for the job. But as time passed I got used to him, he Cidn't appear to be too tyranicalg almost a level headed sort of fellow you might say. You know he even ran the cross country with us, and for him that turned out to be a grave medical mistake. In these first four years Mr. Heard seemed to be developing irtc a real veteran as far as being a Headmaster goes. Everything was moving along iust fine until Nr. Heard and a few of tlf members of the Board decided that it would be a good idea for Strathcona School for Boys and Tseeosnnir :.f An Academic School for Girls to combine and form one school, Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School. They must not haue known very much about school boys and I didn't thivl I'6 ever forgive WY. Heard. Oh, those first years were rough. I'd never had to worry about how my hair looked, or if I had brushed my teeth, but with girls around it was a different matter entirely. I even tried to keep my shirt tucked in, but as most of you know, it was to no avail. Well, after eight years of co-ed schooling, I have finally forgiven Mr. Heard, and you know, this year I was actually starting to get used to the girls. Don't think it wasn't a sacrifice on my part though. The time has come for me to say goodbye, and I can truthfully say whether you have spent twelve years or only one at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir, it is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. On behalf of the Grade Twelve Class, I would like to thank everyone, teachers, the Board, parents, and even you the Grade Twelve Students of tomorrow for making our education both meaningful and memorable. Thank you. .mo I: Frkisomixxrhooks Rod Kirkham '12 ll , -, - 4 U 0 L, U I 7. l 'K' -I M' 'J ' Il V TT 'J 5 .. o ., -S 1 H 1 , x.,..
