Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School doesn't have one particular year which is dedicated to children. Every year is the year of the child for Strathcona-Tweedsmuir. This year we celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of Strathcona we celebrated the twentieth anniversary of Tweedsmuir, an Girls. These institutions have had a tremendous influence School and on the directions it is taking. It would do us lists of graduates, our alumni - the girls and the boys - School for Boys and Academic School for on Strathcona-Tweedsmuir all well to look at our to see what they are doing with their lives. Many of the alumni have been directly responsible for this school, for every piece of furniture in it. Many of the graduates this year will help to continue this tradition and keep Strathcona-Tweedsmuir alive and well.We should look at the lives of these people, because if we do not learn from our past, if we do not learn from our history, then we shall continue to make the same mistakes that were made in the past and we shall not progress. What are some of the things that we can learn from these people ? One of the features that is evident is that they are hard-working. They believe in doing things for themselves and in getting things done and they have accomplished much. Another feature that we notice about them, when they their enthusiasm for their old school, their present and their enthusiasm for the future. are inundated with bad news to be optimistic optimism must be a trait of mankindg it must return to the school, is their enthusiasm, enthusiasm for what they are doing at lt is so important in these days when we about what we can do in the future. This be something that is built into our system for we do keep going through the worst of times. Another feature that we notice about our graduates is that they are at ease, at ease with us, at ease with the company they are in. One of the reasons for this easiness, for this so-called sophistication, is the fact that they either explicitly or implicitly learn good manners. Good manners are habits that we form when we are growing up at school and at home, habits that help us throughout our entire life to be at ease and to be comfortable in any situation. In this International Year of the Child and on these anniversaries of our schools the dedication of our 1979 Yearbook reflects the efforts of all the people associated with Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School. To the graduates I wish the very best of good future in your next career. You have made a success of your career at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir. I hope you will make a success of your next career, whatever it may be. If you will remember some of the things that Mr. Roy Farran said in his address to you at the Closing Exercises, this business of hard work and enthusiasm is most important and I add to that, use the good manners that you have acquired wherever you go. We are proud of you and we shall follow your careers with interest. 1 w'vn1...: up xr ur, , an s--fi viii' Pi u , V 'au Q g , V P X 'A-'WI : . i Y l A , . W I P- 1 1 i .

She had straight black hair and blue glimmer- ing eyes. Her name was Susan. She was ten years old and very pretty. When she was little she wanted to be a ballerina. She would whirl around her beautiful little room and walk on her tiny baby toes. Susan begged and pleaded for dancing lessons until her mother said, HYes, you can, if you will stop interrupting me.H HOh, I will mother,H said little Susan. HI promise and I will try hard in dancing lessons.u So Susan took dancing lessons and she danced until her mother thought she would die. HSusan, you are dancing too hard in dance lessons,H said her mother. HOh, mother,H Susan said, H I am dancing hard so I can become a ballerina.H One day Susan was walking down the street when she heard a little voice. It was saying HHelp I Help In Susan walked in the direction of the call. Susan said, HWho said that ?H HI did,H was the reply. HWhere are you ?H Susan asked. HIn this hole,H said the funny little sound. Susan bent down and picked up a dirty little penny. HWho are you ?H said the penny. HMy name is Susan,H said Susan. HWhat is yours ?H HMy name is Sam. Sam the penny.H HI am glad to meet you,H said Susan. HI am going to ballet lessons. Would you like to come with me ?H HOkay,U said Sam. When they got to the ballet lessons, Sam said,H Oh, Susan, you are a very good dancer and a very nice little girl. Will you be my friend for life ?n HYes, I will,H said Susan. Susan kept Sam in a little pocket in her slipper and they stayed together for many years. Sam, the little penny, must have brought Susan good luck, because when Susan grew up she became a famous ballerina. E : ix gal X Regan Hay -its v Grade 4 ...'i.,.': ,. , .Lu ... 2 'x -.

'Q' Trind Renton- Rose V Q7 Grade l .Q LOTO EUPHORIA H Be it proposed that all future candidates for public office be confined to only those people who are welfare recipients or those people who earn no more than the minimum wage. Be it further proposed that upon election each official will be paid S250,000 per year for a period of two years, after which, the non- renewable term ends and the official will collect a SlO0,000 a year pension for life. Each constituency will have two drums, one containing the names of elibible males, the other, females. Two names will be drawn from each drum and the voters will elect one of the people drawn from each drum.H For the sake of discussion, let us assume that there are 10,000 elected officials in Canada, at any given time, covering the municipal, provincial and federal levels of government. It is possible that the application of this proposition would eliminate or lessen four of the major problems facing Canada today. Representation would be equally divided between males and females. No longer would we be subjected to cries of sexual discrimination, and that in itself, would reduce noise pollution. This new system would reduce poverty dramatically. Every two years 10,000 people would leave the world of poverty, welfare and unemployment and enter the world of middle class prosperity. The greatest benefit of this proposal would be enjoyed in the free market place. The newly-elected politicians would need time to adjust to their recently acquired wealth which would leave them less time to pass restrictive commercial legislation and so business could get on with the job of making a profit. Profits create jobs and jobs create wealth and employment. Every Canadian would profit from the new system of representation because inflation would no longer be a problem. You must remember that all elected officials will retire with a SlO0,000 a year pension for life. No politician then would ever pass legislation which would shrink the value of his or her pension dollar. On the contrary, every politician will ensure that the dollar has the value to support the life he has grown accustomed to living. Sexual equality, elimination of poverty, growth of the free market, and a self- controlled dollar are, in themselves, enough to justify this proposal. However, there are other benefits which are no less important but which are less obvious. A happy people are a healthy people. Without the tensions that exist today Canadians will be healthier and so medical and hospital costs will drop. Churches will be relieved from their obligation of forcing governments to do the work churches should have done in the first place. Sermons could be based on the word of God instead of last year's Oxfam Annual Report. Mark McKenna Grade lOA W WW' W . ui V in W XC, MATH IS ..... 'WS- ' ' V My . . .

V . i id: Q FALL FAIR p ' .-23 Q-J-fi The radiant early October morning gave a promise of great things to come. After months of preparation, the day of the Fall Fair at STS had finally arrived. By noon, the grounds were playing host to a variety of activities, with tents, great and small, vying for attention. Clowns in costume sold their colourful free-flying balloons to smiling children, whilst in a nearby field, balloons of a different nature waited anxiously to be filled with adventurous travellers. Tables laden with ambrosia-like goodies waited like a temptress to lure unsuspecting dieters from their goals. The odyssey of the hay ride was certainly not for the faint-hearted. As the tractor moved on its rugged journey its occupants also became rough and unruly. Hay was strewn in all directions as innocent bystanders and passing cars alike became targets on which the hayriders vented their hostilities! In preparation for the gigantic feats, the master chef had toiled and struggled to insure that the monstrous roasts were sizzled to perfection. The tantalizing aroma of barbequed roast beef crackling on the spit filled the air. In the large tent, vast quantities of buns, beef, beans and salad stood by to satisfy the voracious appetites of the people. Towards the north, the storm god cast his fickle finger of fate in the direction of STS. By mid-afternoon, the blissful blue sky had been chased away by black menacing clouds. The dark clouds raced through the heavens like phantom cattle in search of their lost bodies which had recently been sacrificed for the feast. Suddenly, the tornado-like winds struck the fair grounds and the full force of their strength was felt by young and old alike. With great difficulty, the stalls were removed to the safety of the rotunda where they quickly resumed business. Both the trail ride and the hay ride were stilled. The trap shooting and balloon sale were halted. Everyone dashed for cover except the gallant chefs who went on with their mammoth task of feeding the multitude. Gradually, as if mesmerized by the enticing aroma, some brave souls ventured out again to partake of the feast. Meanwhile, in the gymnasium, the auction was about to commence. Listening to the auctioneer was a fascinating experience for the uninitiated. Bidders were cast under his spell as they competed for bargains such as school sweaters, paintings, and even the services of a charming trio of domestics. The cake contest also proved popular with the delectable goodies delivered to the highest bidder. At last it was time to leave. Most of the stalls were now depleted and sad-looking. The wind god had retreated gone into hiding after being unsuccessful at ruining the day. In spite of his attempts, the Fall Fair was a success, and, as usual, STS reigned triumphant. Jackie Paget Grade 8A , w '7?n SCHOOLS IN MEXICO Anne Hordos completed her Grade 10 at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir in 1978. She spent the 1978-79 academic year attending schools in Puebla, Mexico. The whole Mexican school system is nearly the opposite of the Canadian system and this provides for many interesting changes. Mexican schools are organized into three sections: Primaria, which is equal to the elementaryg Segundaria, junior highg Prepatoria, senior high. There are six years in primaria, three in segundaria, but only two in prepatoria. An interesting change from the Canadian system is that a student is only required to do six years of school for university, but nevertheless, the drop-out rate is very low. There are two types of schools in Mexico, private and government. The private schools are designed strictly for academics. They don't have a gymnasium or any sports activities, so the schools are much smaller. By Canadian standards, they do not have any modern facilities. Due to the hot climate of Mexico, the school day is very short. Classes start in the cool mornings at seven or eight o'clock and finish before the hottest part of the day at two o'clock. ln primaria the subjects are very similar to those of the elementary in Canada. ln all Mexican schools, since Spanish is the main language, English is taught as a second language, but not until segundaria. However, there are also many schools that teach two or three other languages. Primaria students are very active and play a lot of games. They don't have to go to school until nine o'clock and may leave at noon. ln the segundaria and prepatoria there is more pressure placed on students. All the courses are mandatory and most schools have thirteen or more subjects. Grades are very important in Mexico since there is no credit system such as we have in Alberta. One interesting difference between Mexican and Canadian schools concerns the wearing of a uniform. ln Mexico, students at private schools don't have to wear a uniform, whereas students at the government schools have a uniform for each day of the week. Government schools also contain many more students than do the private schools - up to 10,000 per school, making the classes a lot larger. These large schools can cover ten blocks! There is a much greater emphasis on sports in the govern ent schools and there are a number of clubs and teams for after-school activities. Mexican students in all schools are warm and friendly and they treat foreigners very well. Mexicans are proud of their culture and customs. The country is poor and one can miss the luxuries of life that we take for granted every day. But it was certainly an exciting challenge to live in a country with such a different lifestyle and it was a most memorable experience. Anne Hordos SPORTS When players chase an elusive ball or individuals sprint towards new records, someone is bound to be cheering. Competitive sports may be watched by a few people in the stands, or by millions of television viewers throughout the world. However, the tremendous popularity of competitive sports raises an important question. ls competition in the name of sport actually harmful to both participants and spectators ? In my opinion the extent to which competitive sports are either desirable or harmful depends upon the perspective in which they are viewed. For participants, competition in sports has several benefits. Physical fitness can be derived from participating in almost any sport. Presently, medical science indicates that a physically fit person is more resistant to heart disease and many other ailments. To excel in many sports, it is necessray to be self-disciplined, self-confident cunning and able to perform under pressure. Such skills can often serve a person well in the competitive environment of society. Finally, an individual can experience a rewarding sense of achievement when he reaches goals within his physical capacity. Since success in sports is measured in almost totally physical terms, any achievement is quite tangible. This readily visible achievement of goals is the aspect of competitive sports which contributes most to a person's feeling of self-worth. Unfortunately, the nature of competitive sports often leads to physical injuries. However, strict enforcement of sports' rules and proper training methods significantly reduce the risk of injury. Sports have psychologically harmful effects when they are placed too high among one's priorities. When family or peer group pressure demands more of an individual than he is capable of, problems quickly appear. Even if the individual makes similar demands of himself, the harmful results are often the same. In both cases, important com itments to family, friends, education and employment are often ingnored for the sake of pursuit of physical excellence. The exclusion of these com itments from one's life can result in one becoming a socially underdeveloped person. lf a person then fails to achieve the demanding goals, set by himself or others, the emotional trauma he suffers is compounded by his lack of intellectual and social skills which were abandoned earlier in life. Logically, more sport spectators exist than do participants. Thus, the effect of watching competitive sports is also important. Sports are beneficial to the extent that they provide entertainment. Indeed, the conflict between two teams and its eventual resolution have entertainment value not unlike many books or movies. The escapist aspect of watching sports is healthy since it ptovides a short rest from troublesome reality. However, when the importance of watching sports is emphasized more than other aspects of life, being a spectator becomes harmful. An obsession with watching sports, which leads to a neglect of family, friends and job, is definitely undesirable. Even more dangerous is an excessive emotional involvement in watching sports, which leads to senseless violence if the outcome of a sporting event is seen as unfavourable. It is important to keep sports in the proper perspective of being merely providers of entertainment. In conclusion, competitive sports can be healthy for both participants and spectators if they are allotted reasonable importance in life. Sports are beneficial if they do not exclude the necessities of a well-rounded life. Only when sports are viewed as being one's highest priority is the potential for harmful effects greatly increased. Rodger Trimble Grade 12 OUR VULNERABILITY TO TERRORISM Since international terrorism first sixties, there has been a concerted effort selves against terrorist attacks. Now, ten improved security systems made possible by has been decreased. However, it is the opinion of this writer that this David Fathi Grade l2 became widespread in the late nineteen on the part of many nations to protect themf years later, it is said by many that, due to technological advances, the threat of terrorism same technology has in fact made us more vulnerable to terrorist attacks than we have been in the past. Perhaps the most significant way in which technology has increased our vulnerab- ility to terrorism is that it has enabled the establishment of more and ln a city, a large number of people are crowded into a very small area, are extremely dependent upon certain technical systems - the electricty larger cities. and hence they and water supply installations, for example - without which such a small area could not support such a population. Thus, disruption of these facilities can have very grave consequences. One has only to recall the chaos and destruction that resulted from the New York City power blackout of l977. This, coupled with the fact that they are usually unprotected, makes these installations inviting targets for terrorists. The poisoning of a city's water supply would kill thousandsg the sabotage of a major electrical plant during a cold winter would have a similar effect. ln this respect, then, we are now more vulnerable to terrorism than before. Despite the fact that it has been grossly overexploited by writers of pulp fiction, the increased danger of nuclear terrorism is also a very real concern. Used as a fuel for atomic power plants, increasingly large amounts of uranium and plutonium are being transported across countries, thus, the potential for theft of these substances by terrorists has grown dramatically. Even if one did not know how to make several undergraduate physics students have demonstrated that it is not these elements have other uses. A few ounces of plutonium placed in the system of a large building would kill everyone inside within one or two a bomb - although too difficult - air conditioning minutes. Another cause of our increased vulnerability to terrorist attacks is the constant development of new, more deadly weapons. ln government research centres example, new guns, explosives, and other such weapons are invented on a in the U.S., for regular basis. Inside these installations can also be found virulent bacteria and highly toxic pest- icides and poisons. Thus, if one of these centres were attacked, and some of these materials stolen, the modern terrorist could have at his disposal some very efficient means of killing people. The question naturally arises of what can be done to protect society against terrorism. Harsh penalties for acts of terrorism have been suggested, but the deterrent value of severe punishment for terrorists, or for anyone else, is debatable. Tighter security measures may be of some value, but the best security system can be penetrated if assaulted by a sufficiently large group of guerrillas who are not afraid to lose a few of their number during an operation. The best method of preventing terrorism is absolute refusal to accede to terrorists' demands under any circumstances. lf this policy is practised without exception, terrorism will become ineffective as a means of bringing about social and political change, and it will, hopefully, decline. c So it is apparent that by enabling the establishment of large cities and by bringing about the development of new, more sophisticated weapons, our technology has made us more vulnerable to terrorism. It has been suggested that, in order to protect ourselves from terrorists, we institute more severe penalties for terrorism and improve security systems, but these would be ineffective. The only way to destroy terrorism is by not giving in to terrorist demands, to refuse to recognize terrorism as a legitimate force for change. CAMPING 'Twas early in the morning, as We loaded up the van, Mr. Keller and his husky, Checked every pot and pan. We drove into the mountains far, It was a glorious day. We parked and shared the goods to cook Our food along the way. Have you ever been out camping ? Have you ever hauled your kit ? It gets heavier by the minute - Oh, Sir, when do we sit ? Have you ever plodded mile on mile, Your weary feet so sore, Yet when it's time to camp and rest You boast you could go no more ? At last we stopped and made a fire. It really was great fun, With lots of stew and bacon too And pancakes by the ton. We slept in tents, so warm and snug And then I heard a roar. A moose ? A deer ? A bear ? A ghost ? I shivered to the core. Mister Keller kept on sleeping, The dog was out of sight. Not a soul but I was conscious and The thing from darkest night! But then a little squeak I heard - Was that the mighty roar ? A tiny baby chipmunk head Came peeping in the door. It wasn't long till morning The sun was shining bright, And everyone was eating, No one else had had a fright. We gathered up the pots and pans, We packed the tents and gear. Then down the mountain trail we hiked With Cayla at the rear. We reached the van. We tumbled in And off for home we went. Our thanks to Mister Keller for A lovely weekend spent.

By September the calendar sparkled and shined, Activities looked great for '79, We began with a dance titled, HGet to know You.H Bob Black - what a D.J. - made Heard boogie too I Fridays came soon, bringing grubs and a disco. Mr. Wood, thanks a million, a spectacular show. HMeantimeH came next to our STS fort, A band whoe career must have really been short. Nevertheless, not a sad face was seen, We all had a chuckle on this Hallowe'en. And let's not forget a March day in the sun, That's right, Winter Carnival, and with it the fun! Mr. Hay -oops, Trudeau - blasted off the relay, And Fosterus blowing bubblegum to this very day. On the lhth of Feb. - Mr. Wood's treat, hurray, A dance with the theme of St. Valentine's Day. Red and white streamers showed off the decor, Then through celebration spread all o'er the floor. St. Patrick's Day brought Sounds Unlimited to all. The Saturday night dance floor was a thrill, I recall. And again for the athletes' disco, Steve did return, And we all shook a booty to HBurn Baby Burn.H The Council was proud to donate for the school To the Year of the Child, through Strathcona's twin school. The funds also helped to support school ambitions - We improved for the children the playground conditions Our foster child is aided and we'll continue this way, Not all in the world are too lucky today. As a token of thanks for a fabulous year, To Strathcona a present and a grand Spartan cheer. On behalf of the Council of '79 I'm thanking you all for spirit so fine.

The latter was entered in the Second Strathmore Drama Festival where it was well received and won second place. Caro Creighton was awarded a drama scholarship to the Drumheller, Alberta Drama School, for her believability and consistency of characteru. Mrs. Pat Foster successfully directed both plays. She was assisted with hard work, determination, and enthusiasm from her cast and crew: Mitch Ravvin, Rodger Trimble, Caro Creighton, Jennifer Pratt, Nora Leung, Albert Schultz, Joe Robertson, David Fathi, Jeff Rui and Bart Borrett. H The school's first musical, nGreaseH was an outstanding success at the l979 Open House. A lot of time and devotion were put into the production. We appreciate the efforts of the Director, Mrs. Foster, Miss Bakgaard, music and singing, M e. Osler, pianist, Mrs. Coyne, dance and choreography, and Mrs. MacLean, costumes and make-up. The cast consisted of a large chorus of singers and dancers and supporting actors and actresses. Sloan Pipella played the role of Sandy and Albert Schultz played Danny. In the final term the drama class directed two plays for the Grade Fours. Both plays were performed at the Junior School Awards Presentation. To Mrs. Foster we express our sincere thanks for such a memorable and successful year. The Drama Class CHRISTMAS CONCERT Grades 1,2 and 3 present a Christma Caboveb the December concert.

The four girls and twelve boys competed in five sports while living in Walker House, one of the many studentfhousemaster residences on campus. The week began with frisbee at dawn C3:00 a.m. Calgary timej, and ended with trips to Niagara Falls and the CN Tower. In between were such highlights as early morning jogging, fossil hunting by the lake, an ongoing snooker championship, milk and cookies with the girls from Branksome Hall, and trips for emergency rations to the nDollar Fiveu corner store. However, the competitions dominated everything. In soccer, exceptional goal-tend- ing by Brad McBean and spirited defecnce almost made up for offensive shortcomings. We captured fourth place Cin a four-team league ID. Floor hockey was much more to our liking - and but for tunes of war - we would have placed higher than third in a six team competition. Team tennis saw STS in fourth place, but the singles competition witnessed Rod Heard and Neil Copeland reach the quarter finals. The two most enetered sports were track and swim ing. Some outstanding races enthralled the spectators as each school was represented by at least one superior contest- ant. Glenn Coskey established the national record in discus with a throw of 26.88 metres for the gold medal. He narrowly missed his second gold medal in the shot put. Gavin Young picked up four second place, one third and one fourth place ribbons with outstanding running in the l500 metre, 800 metre, 400 metre and on the relay team. Bruce Gilley was our busiest competitor who entered almost all the swim ing events, many track events and the soccer. He competed in ten of the fourteen final events held on the Friday and brought home twelve ribbons. Among his triumphs were seconds in l00 yds. breast-stroke, 50 yds. breast-stroke, 100 yds. individual medley, 50 yds. freestyle. In all the team brought home one gold medal and sixty ribbons: nineteen seconds, twenty-five thirds, and sixteen fourths. The competition in 1980 will be hosted by Strathcona-Tweedsmuir from June 22-26. Team '79 was comprised of: Karen Detlefsen, Dawn Ekstrom, April McColl, Cathy McKenna, Neil Copeland, Glenn Coskey, Brian Ekstrom, Bruce Gilley, Rod Heard, Brad McBean, Andy Rhind, Jeff Rui, Mike Thakkar, Philip Thiessen, Steve Wood, Gavin Young. Team chaperones were Mr. Taylor, Mme. Osler, Miss Bakgaard. Visiting parents who also assisted in coaching were Mrs. Thakkar and Mrs. Ekstrom. awards and prizes Honours Awards Grade Grade Grade Grade Grade Grade Grade Grade Grade Grade Grade Grade l 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 lO - ll - l2 ' Tamzen Brill, Sarah Dickinson, Jonathan Berry, Andrea Hay, Jennifer Johnston, Dale Ohlson, Judd Palmer, David Pierce, Trindy Renton-Rose, Jason Wells, Katie Witcher, John Worth, Brett Matthews, Lisa Grover, Robert Dinning.

But a Valedictorian Address, I realized, should represent the thoughts or feelings of all those in the graduating class, not just my thoughts. It is an honour for me to represent the others who make up the Class of '79, and to interpret their thoughts on the past years and those ahead. Some of us in Grade 12 feel that these high school years would be the best and most enjoyable ones, the years in the future will be more serious and demanding. We went through these years of school following the learning Hprocessesu which allowed us to acquire the abilities, notions and values presented to us by our teachers and we acquired them with determination and laughter. We worked and we played in a combination that will not likely be repeated in our years ahead. When, for example, in university or college, can one take the English professor on a wild goose chase around the grounds to look for his missing English class which had been kidnapped by his arch-enemy, another English professor - as we did to two of our teachers this year ? Apart from the light moments, living through these years of com on endeavours, our class has achieved a sense of closeness and belonging which, we know, has formed a bond that we will carry with us and which will never be broken. As a contrast to this, one might be led to think that the years ahead will be the best, and that the main function of the school has been to form a solid base on which the building of our future will take place. These opposite concepts, however, are both valid. The two ideas complement each other and form one of the principles on which Strathcona-Tweedsmuir operates: the principle that the school can be both a lasting experience and a preparation for the future. We thank our Headmaster, our teachers, and all who have worked toward this goal.
