Dedicated to the students who attended the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute during the years of 1940 - 1956, Lethbridge, Alberta.(1985) PRAYER OF INVOCATION by David W. Paterson '54 Gracious God, who in a moment of inspiration created the universe and with a WORD, the world we live in — we pause in this summer time to reflect on one spot in your creation that we fondly remember with affec­tion and appreciation. Tonight we remember school days, school teachers and school chums. For people — friends and teachers, we thank you. For those who were examples to us and in whose lives we caught a glimpse of what life ought to be; — For those who were an inspiration to us and thus filled us with a de­sire to enoble life; For those who comforted us and healed the hurt when we were im­patient with ourselves or were hurt by the impatience of others with us; For those who were a strength to us and by whose company we felt enabled to tackle fresh challenges and new tasks; For those who introduced us to that unknown host who have influenced our lives and fed our minds with good writings in great books; For those who gave their love, understanding and service that we took so often for granted, and — For those whose loyal friendship and true love continue to mark and embrace our lives today, WE GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE 0 LORD. Included in our thanks are those who had the dream, who provided the leadership, who gave the time that we should be called here this evening to remember, renew and recharge old relationships and pleasant memo­ries; for fellowship and for the food we are about to receive, may it be taken as nourishment for our bodies and provide the fellowship of friends that makes an evening an experience that is truly rewarding. For we ask it in the Name of Him who was and is the Lord of Life, Amen CENTENNIAL HOMECOMING BANQUET July 13, 1985 1 TOAST TO THE DEAD by John M. Cashore I have been asked to give a toast to those who have died. At first I wor­ried that this was a morbid task, but then after thinking about it the reali­zation came that death is appropriately acknowledged during a celebration such as our high school homecoming. Death is a reality all of us think about more and more. We are not using terms such as "passed away". There is no suitable euphemism that ena­bles us to avoid the reality. At this time we are remembering those whose pilgrimage has taken them through the valley of the shadow and beyond. Their lives live on in us and in others. Their energy, creativity, their personality is out there. They are part of the wonder of the universe. They remind us of the tender, fragile nature of life and the marvellous mystery of human existence. At this time I will read the names of those former L.C.I. students who gave their lives in WW II. Greater love has no one than this — that a person should lose his life for a friend. While we do not have a list of those who lost their lives in the Korean war, I acknowledge, on your behalf, that they too have made the supreme sacrifice. I would hope that in the magnificent mystery of eternity, those who are no more with us are somehow present in God's tears and in God's mirth as we continue our journey in many special places. I believe that those of us who have died are present in God's joy as this reality of reunion affirms our brief time on earth. So I ask you to raise your glasses and join me in a toast to our colleagues who have died. CENTENNIAL HOMECOMING BANQUET - July 13. 1985 2 L.C.I. "OLD FOLK" REUNION BULLETIN WELCOME!

Don't forget to hustle back to the Pavilion to catch the last of the Sunday Brunch. Also on Sunday morning at the Brunch, Frank Hosek Sr. will be present to say "hello" to former members of the Lethbridge A.C.T. Junior Band. On a more worldly note, the Exhibition Board has invited any reunion registrants to attend the running of the ponies on Sunday There will be a feature race held in honor of the Reunion. The Committee has worked diligently since early last Fall to contact as many of your former classmates as possible. If we have missed some of your friends and classmates, we're sorry but you can be sure we gave it "the old Collegiate try." FINALLY AND IMPORTANTLY have a GREAT BUT SAFE weekend. Check with your friends for a ride home if necessary or call a cab. Chairman Rex has worked long and hard to bring this reunion together. Is it any wonder that: HfftMJVN See you all at the Pavilion. Dear Teacher: Joey was away in Leihbridcje with his father on business 4 LAST MINUTE RUSH EXPECTED AS Organizers expect a last minute rush of registrations for the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute Reunion this weekend. The reunion is for anyone who attended the l Cl from 1940 to 1956 - they needn't have graduated. Already about 1.200 people have registered and organizer Bruce Haig says organizers feel the final total will be about 1.350. "But I think there will be a whole lot more than than." Haig added Bruce Ritchie says initial organization began three years ago when he and Dr Tim Myers of Lethbridge discussed organizing a 30 year reunion of the LCI class of 1953. "For one reason or another it didn't work." says Ritchie "But we kept in touch and after moving here last summer from the United States, we got talking again in the early fall " LCI GRADS GATHER FOR REUNION Shortly after that the reunion was expanded to include the years from 1950 to 1956 At the same time LCI 1940 grads began plan ning a reunion and by February decided to co operate and merge the reunions "We have attempted to keep the structure simple so each year can have their own little 'dos'" says Ritchie. Registration will continue today at the exhibition pavilion until 6 p.m and again from 8 to 10 p.m during a wine and cheese reception. Public relations officer Bruce Ritchie says people will regret not go mg because this "is probably a once in a lifetime thing." This morning a special 'hotline' 320 1956, went into operation for people who need more information about registration and events. A SUCCESS BY ALL REUNION TERMED It would have been difficult to question organizers' claims the week end LCI Reunion was a big success. Everywhere one looked there were beaming smiles and handshakes as those who attended the school between 1940 and 1956 were reunited with fellow students. "It worked out fabulously." Rex Little, the reunion's chairman, said Sunday. "We had a heck of a time." Little said between 1.370 and 1.400 people attended the three day event, slightly higher than the number organizers predicted when they met last Wednesday "it was a tremendous experience and l can only thank everyone for coming,” said l ittle. "If they wouldn't have come, it wouldn't have been a success ” There was no exact count available of how many people at the re union were from outside Lethbridge But Little said “quite a few" made the trip, and many came from various parts of North America "This was a once in a lifetime thing." he said in an interview. "We're glad we did it." Bruce Haig, the event's executive secretary, said everyone seemed to have a good time "l think people enjoy it It helps people tie their roots together." Haig said of the reunion. AUSTRALIAN GRAD Former Lethbridge Collegiate In stitute students came from far and wide to the 1940 56 reun ion, but none came farther than Irene Hicks Hicks and her husband Douglas made the trip all the way from Australia, where they live in Wmmalee. about 80 km from Sydney Hicks, who's maiden name was Romamuk. said a planned trip to South Africa later this year was dropped because of the political unrest there Then she heard about the reunion "This came up and we thought why not. and it's been great seeing all the teachers and people you went to school with." Hicks said in an interview Of particular interest to Hicks were three close friends, including Rose Pnmachuk, who she grew up with LCI Haig said while there was a strong representation of LCI students from outside the area, even local people came to visit with old ac­quaintances they see occasionally, but just don't stop and talk to Former LCI students and teachers attended various events at their reunion including Friday's wine and cheese party. Saturday's din­ner and dance, and Sunday's morning brunch, all at the Exhibition Pavilion. Hundreds also attended two assemblies at Hamilton junior High School and LCI. where past student body presidents joked ana reflected about the old days, and the audience sang school cheers and songs Long-retired but well-known teachers, many of whom got stand mg ovations, also relived highlights and hijmks in the classrooms, jolting many memories Organizers, using a variety of leads and sources to hunt for former students of LCI from 1940 to 1956. sent out about 3.000 invita­tions to the reunion "It’s surprising how many people we couldn't find They just sort of disappeared." said Haig Little said individual and class pictures were taken of former LCI stu­dents and a commemorative pictoral booklet will be produced l: should be sent out to reunion registrants within two months MAKES CITY TREK Hicks took commercial courses at the school, graduating in 1952 and then worked as a secretary at city all. where her future hus­band was also employed n the engineering department They later left for Australia and have been living there for nearly 23 years, where Doug is national service and parts manager for a mining company Hicks remembers home economics, shorthand and typing classes at a much smaller LCI. where she finished an amazing string of per­fect school attendance from Grade 1 to 12 At Westminster School and then LCI. Hicks never missed one schoo1 day. earning her a commemorative bracelet and silver tray set she still owns "I was just a well person and ! always liked school," she said Hicks did have mumps though during Christmas holidays. Attending the reunion marks the third time she has visited Lethbridge since 1978 "It's nice to come back to Lethbridge It's a lovely city, said Hicks. 5 NOSTALGIA REIGNS AS OLD SCHOOL MATES GATHER VIVIAN (STOHIE) HOLMES of Lethbridge. Gwen (Guild) Wildman of Edmonton, and May (Griffiths) Henry of Van­couver all graduated in 1944. The ladies were 'bosom bud dies in high school. it was a nostalgic weekend to meet old friends, share school sto nes, and laugh at the past for the 1.400 people who attended the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute Reunion. Whether the participants attended LCI in the 1940s or 1950s. most who were interviewed by the Herald just wanted to see old faces again, some for the first time in four decades Everett Hcrlacher of Edmonton, who attended the old LCI in 1944. was anxious to see how many old school mates he would still know To his surprise he recognized “about 100 more than I thought I could remember " Had everybody changed? "Not me. but I don't know where all the old folks came from," Hcrlacher said with a grin He said found it interesting that all the predjudices and divisions that existed between students back in school didn’t matter anymore at the reunion His brother Neil Hcrlacher of Lethbridge agreed "The tough kids are now as meek and mild as everybody else,” he said "The ones who spent the most time the the principal's office are the ones who are the biggest boosters." Neil, who attended LCI in the late 1940s, said he wasn't having too much difficulty remembering oid fellow students. "You recognize them by their eyes Their eyes don't change that much," he said. "The guys still basically got the same haircuts as 40 years ago." Betty (Wilson) Lievers clutched her Class of '46 yearbook as she sur veyed the reunion crowd Saturday. "I find this very exciting.” The Abbotsford resident said it was "quite shocking" to see how much people changed from their yearbook pictures. But the reun­ion still served to take her back to the happy times. "The best days of your lives were when you were going to school ” Fellow student Lois (Peterson) Story of Lethbridge said the week­end was "just an exciting time for all of us " She said the personalities of old friends continued to shine through "A lot of people haven't changed that much " Both women said they had their "school crushes" but wouldn't pro­vide details However. Lievers admitted she wondered now what she saw in those highschool heart throbs anyway Evelyn (Pearson) Faulk of Houston. B.C. came to the new LCI build­ing m Grade 10 when it had just opened The building has changed with time, just like the graduates have, Faulk said "It's hard to realize we're all grandparents ” She. too. was able to spot her school heart throb "He's still nice He's even got white hair, so I can relate to that." The reunion was a spirit booster, said Faulk. "It's a real up. a real tonic. If there was another one next year. I'd come." Joan (Landeryou) Waslovich of Lethbridge agreed "I didn't get en­thused originally But now I wouldn't have missed it for the world " "Look at all these mature people." Waslovich said "We were all kids.” Don Standing of Medicine Hat. who last strolled the LCl halls m 1950-51. met some friends and teachers he hadn't seen for 30 years "So far it's been great " A smiling Standing said there was a lot of stories being told at tne reunion, but he wouldn't be able to relate many of them to the media. For Carol (Verwoerd) Rose, who attended LCI from 1952-54. the reunion was like travelling in a time machine By DWAYNE JANKE of the Herald p*0t<* fry I AM 1 HOGIR ''SCHOOL SONG" TO OUR DEAR LCI WE WILL BE TRUE WE'LL HOLD YOUR COLOURS HIGH 'CAUSE LCI WE'RE ALL FOR YOU.

FIGHT! 6 7 8 9 10 11 THESE WERE 'GLORY DAYS' As an out-of-towner. 1 would like to express my thoughts about our recent L.C.I. reunion. We listen to Bruce Springsteen belting out his music "Glory Days" and that's what it was for so many alumni of the L.C.I., earlier this month. As one of those graduates (Class of 52/53). still riding the crest of nostalgia, l. for one think it exceeded all my greatest expectations. We were on a natural high, for those three days. After 32 years, since \ last saw those halls of the alma mater, to be able to re-live the highs and lows of those years was a thrill for me. The best mo­ments were that so many friends recognized me. before reading my name tag, and I recognized them. We laughed and smiled and swallowed many a lump re-living past times. Even those, whom we hardly knew, or even weren't too fond of. became our dear com­rades. This world is moving too quickly, and in time's fleetness, 32 years ago seemed like yesterday We looked for familiar faces. The boys, we had crushes on, and who had crushes on us. Now. grandparents, we looked with am­biguity at one another. Would we still see what it was that made them so wonderful’ Sometimes, sometimes not. but if it was there it was not in the seasoned faces, the no so-slender bodies, the gray­ing or balding hair, or even the wrinkled countenance of one's face. It was in the eyes. True, age had taken its toll, but the eyes, always sparkling, mirroring remembrances Memories came flooding back. How sweet, the happiness and sometimes pain for that brief en­counter. We were drawn back to that time years ago. and it didn't seem to matter that we had gotten older, for one brief moment, we recaptured our youth. I am thankful for the opportunity we had to say hello and good­bye to many friends. Some we may never see again, but in this one reunion we re-lived yesterday. And life, being so short, we had this chance to rekindle friendships, so precious. I would like to thank the committee and organizers and all those who worked so diligently in connection with the reunion I racking down all those people, you made it all worthwhile For those who didn't come . . . You missed one hell of a party! ANNE LARSEN Victoria, B.C. THANKS TO 'THE FEW' OF THE LCI REUNION Churchill once commented that "Never in the field of human en ceavor was so much owed to so many to so few." While the re­cently completed LCI Reunion may not be a classic Churchillian endeavor, nevertheless the truth is that a great debt is owed by so many to the few who spent the hours in planning and prepa­ration. It is difficult for one who returned home to enjoy the fruits and the benefits of a High School Homecoming to pay a debt of grati­tude or to show appreciation, but perhaps through your good grace and the channel of your newspaper, expression can be made to the few that made it a great occasion and a wonderful time for us all Rex Little and his committee did one fabulous job and to them and on behalf of all who returned, I would like to say "Thank You.” Because I was one who initially made enquiries as to what could be done to have such a reunion. I think it fair the thanks can come from me. We who live outside the city have had nostalgic en­thusiasms to return to see the old boys and the old girls, and what changes the years have fraught, but it is the locals who have to do the work We lard on them a tremendous responsibility; but how amply and wonderfully they came through. Your readers may be interested to know that before the Rex I it tie committee was formed, there were two meetings in Lethbridge to explore and investigate the possibilities May I share with you those who were involved? Sept. 25, 1984, Bruce Haig called together a meeting at Sven Encksen's Restaurant of Bruce Ritchie, Dr. Tim and Mrs. Annette Myers, Ab Paskuski and myself. That meeting deter­mined that we have another meeting to determine if there was feasi bility after locating and pricing various elements of a program On Saturday. Oct. 20. those same people met in the home of Dr. and Mrs Nyers, along with Doug and Irene Roadhouse and Andy and Carol Kcvacs. Later other arrived but the decision was made that unless we could find a chairman for the committee before the week­end was out — time was running out — to have a successfully planned reunion. By Sunday noon. Bruce Ritchie had obtained the consent of Rex Little to be chairman and Bruce Haig agreed to be executive secretary' who would computerize the names and address­es. The reunion was initially to be for the new LCI 1950 to 1956 In the New Year, those in the '40s and notably Dale Martin, pur­sued the committee to include the years 1940 to 1949 I am sure the committee was pleased they included the '40s. As one who lives outside Lethbridge, but is deeply grateful for th eeducation and preparation and character building that living in Lethbridge gave me. we take our hats off to those who gave so much of themselves that we could have a real bang-up celebration as the LCI Homecoming provided. DAVID PATERSON. Minister St. John's Presbyterian Church, Medicine Hat ONCE IN A LIFETIME A once in a lifetime event has just concluded recently, namely the "LCI REUNION"; (July 12-14/85) and the memories really do linger on. The enthusiasm and ccmradery was overwhelming as 1.400 of us former Grads reminisced, told small lies, held our stomachs in and had a marvelous time for three wonderful days The renewal of old friendships will be treasured and the follow-up book and pictures will be keepsakes forever The words "THANK YOU" seem so inadequate to express to the organizing committee our appreciation and gratitude for the out­standing job they did in planning and running the reunion Every thing was first class in every respect. I know these two GRADS will long remember with fondness the recent LCI REUNION. SCOTT and BEV HENDERSON LETHBRIDGE 12 13 14 15 BACK AT LCI Words cannot express the fun and pleasure I got from attending the LCI Reunion. All I talked to of the 1.400 or more who attended had nothing but praise and admiration for the people who planned and ran the event. The Friday Social Evening was excellent, the Saturday School Tours and Assembles were fun and the Saturday Dance and Supper was just exceptional. The food was terrific both for the supper and brunch and the job done by the Exhibition Caterers was superb. John Patterson as Guest Speaker and Rex Little as M.C. both did a professional job. There is no way that I could express the feelings I experienced and I am sorry for those former LCI students who didn't attend and especially some estimated 700 from the Lethbridge Dis­trict who missed a once in a lifetime event. For many like myself and my friend Jim from Seattle whose wife had not attended the LCI there was probably some apprehension but as Jim said, it was worth every cent. I found that even the prettiest girls in school who wouldn't have given me the time of day seemed genuinely pleased to see me at the Reunion. I liked school, I even liked Mr. Kyle. The LCI years were some of the best years of my life It's been over 35 years. If we can do it again in 35 years, I will try to be there if they have bigger name tags and a louder PA system. MARVIN KIRCHNER Lethbridge THANKS REX I would like to extend my sincere congratulations and heartfelt thanks to Rex Little and his co-organizers of the LCI Reunion 1985 It is doubtful that even the "Eloquent Bill Rae" could assist me in finding words that would adequately express the emotional ex­periences of this occasion. Superbly organized and carried out, this was truly a credit to the city of Lethbridge and those who worked so diligently should be extremely proud of their efforts. The emotions and the feelings generated by a hug, a handshake, a warm smile, totally erased 30 or 40 years and that is something that happens too infrequently in our lifetime. To those of you who chose not to attend I'm sorry!! Sorry that I didn't get to see you again and sorry you passed up a once in a lifetime experience. Personally I will never forget the Reunion and will cherish memories of long forgotten classmates and teachers reunited after so many years. To those of you who insisted that I hadn't changed in 40 years — Thank You but I really don't recall being hard of hearing, nearsighted, wrinkled or grey haired in Grade nine but you could be right!! Thanks again Rex - Thanks Lethbridge. JACK SCHWEITZER - Class of '45 Medicine Hat MEMORABLE OCCASION Recently I had the opportunity to attend the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute reunion festivities. What a memorable occasion! I would like to thank the City of Lethbridge for their hospitality. Most of all I would like to extend my thanks to the committee who worked so diligently to organize this exciting event I loved it and will never forget those precious moments Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. J Montgomery. Dr. and Mrs. K Hembroff, Rex Little and all the others who gave of their time How great to be a Lethbridge native. CAROL WATSON McNEAL • 1955 Scottsdale, Arizona WE BECAME PUPILS AGAIN For two days we were transported back in time We became stu­dents once again. A sea of faces. But as memory unmasked them, the spontaneous hugs and firm handshakes made for many emotional moments To be surrounded by that much goodwill and happiness was truly overwhelming. This is one old girl who feels grateful and happy with the thought, of travelling in the same span of life, with all of you dear people. The world seems a much better place just knowing there are so many of you out there. To those who couldn't attend because of circumstances beyond your control, or who simply chose not to come, you were sadly missed There was someone there searching for you What can I possibly say to the committee and those volunteers who worked their minds and bodies to the limit7 To have taken on a task of that magnitude, in so short a time, and turn it into such a successful event was nothing short of FANTASTIC!! You de­serve nothing but praise from those of us who attended and reaped the fruits of your labour. We took from it a beautiful memory. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. GIANNINA MAHON (nee Pozzebon) Medicine Hat P.S. A bouquet to the Lethbridge Exhibition. You have a truly functional building devised to be aptly divided for the conven­ience of each event the food catering was of the best. It was beau­tifully presented and absolutely delicious.

Galbraith REPRINTED FROM SOUVENIR BOOKLET FORfv'Al OPENING Of THE L C I 20 1886 — 1950 Pafic Seven A Brief History of the Early Days On a March evening in 1886, three men: John Craig, William Stafford and H. F. Greenwood, met together as the first school hoard of Lethbridge, a little coal mining and ranching town on the Belly River in the District of Alberta, North-West Territories. It was high time something was being done about education. No longer was this the isolated Coal- Banks of Nicholas Sheran's day. Fourteen years had passed since that Irish-American adventurer' had driven a horizontal shaft into the west river bank about a half mile south of where railway engineers were to erect a high level bridge years later. Gone were the days when one man could supply the bull teams hauling coal to Fort Benton and Fort Macleod. The Gaits, financed with English money, had taken over soon after Sheran had met his death assisting a police party in fording the river at Fort Kipp in '82. Elliott Galt, assistant to the Honorable Edgar Dewdney, Indian Commissioner, had seen the exposures at Coal Banks while inspecting Indian agencies in 79. His father, Sir Alexander Galt, Canadian High Com­missioner in London, had been the driving force behind the incorporation of the North Western Coal and Navi­gation Company in 1882 with Mr. William Lethbridge of London as president. William Stafford of Nova Scotia, mining superintendent, had arrived in ’82 by way of Chicago, St. Paul, Bismarck and Fort Benton. By October he had thirty miners sinking horizontal tunnels into the hills in the river bottom. The next year miners were brought in from Nova Scotia and before long two hundred tons of coal were being mined daily. In ’83 an attempt was made to have the stern- wheelers Baroness, Alberta and Minnow move 18 or 20 barges loaded with coal down the river to Medicine Hat on the C.P.R. However, during the three summer months when there was sufficient water to operate the steamers, the current was so swift that the barges could not be moved upstream. After this venture, the Company had built a nar­row-gauge railway, the famous "turkey-track”, to con­nect with the C.P.R. at Dunmore Junction near Medi­cine Hat. The coal from the river bottom was hauled up the hill on an inclined railway until Number One Mine was opened at the top of the river bank (about three hundred yards west of the present C.P.R. round­house). The first houses, those of Elliott Galt, William Stafford and Captain Bryant, the mining engineer, had been built on the river bottom where a company store and ferry had been constructed. However, after the opening of Number One Mine and the survey of the townsite by C. A. Magrath and Aldous in '85, the town began to move up the hill. The Company built the first residence in the upper town for its accountant, H. F. Greenwood, on a corner lot where nearly seventy years later the Kresgc* Company was to build a new store. Many miner’s homes were built along the present First Avenue, west of Fifth Street. Most of the business buildings built in '85 were located on Round (Fifth Street) and Ford (Second Avenue) near the railway station. There was H. Bentley’s general store, Thomas Botterill’s hardware and grocery store, John Mannock’s livery and feed stable, Thomas Kirkham’s hardware store, C. F. P. Conybeare's legal office, the Lethbridge House of Messrs. Henderson and Hogg, Climie and Robinson's furniture store, the drugstore and post office which J. D. Higinbotham had recently purchased from E. Walton, Main and Finley's City Meat Market, J. H. Cavanah's general store, I. G. Baker & Company's gen­eral store, together with numerous saloons, bakeries, pool halls, restaurants and laundries. Corporal Hodder, in charge of five Mounties, had his office in a tiny white shack just south of the Square which the Gaits had reserved for park purposes but which was still being used by stage coaches and bull teams. Most of the lumber for these buildings was supplied by a portable saw mill on the river bottom which sawed logs floated down from the foothills. The Lethbridge News, edited by “Si” Saunders, stated that the new town had a population of 1,200 by the end of '85. This figure did not include the French- Canadian battalion which had been stationed in the river bottom during ten months of the Rebellion year. There were many children in town who had not been to school since they had left the east. Mrs. Stafford, Mrs. Hill and Mrs. James Perry had arrived with larg. families in '82 and '83. Several Sunday Schools were in operation, the largest being that of the Presbyterians, taught by John D. Higinbotham, the pioneer druggist, originally from Guelph but more recently of Macleod. During the winter of '85 correspondence had been had with the Territorial Board of Education at Regina and in March the formation of the Lethbridge Protestant Public School District No. 51 was authorized. This Board appointed three men to act as trustess. These men were: Mr. John Craig, who had a cabinet and fur­niture shop just south of the Square; Mr. William Staf­ford, the mining superintendent, and Mr. H. F. Green­wood. also of Nova Scotia, who had been the chief ac­countant for the Hudson’s Bay Company at Winnipeg, before accepting the position of chief accountant for the North Western Coal and Navigation Company in '82. At the first meeting on March 25, Mr. Stafford was elected chairman and Mr. Greenwood, secretary- treasurer. It was resolved that "the Board procure books in town for the use of the school provided they can obtain them for not more than 25 per cent in excess of rates furnished by Charles H. Black of Regina”; "that John Maclean be engaged as school teacher for seven months from April 5th at a salary of $50.00 per month, provided that his testimonials be approved by Inspec­tor McIntyre,” and "that the Board see what arrange­ments can be made for securing a cottage from the North Western Coal and Navigation Company for school purposes.” 21 MESSAGE FROM THE REUNION CHAIRMAN As Chairman of the L.C.l. Reunion 1940-‘j6 I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and thanks to all of the Committee members The number of volunteer hours given for the reunion are beyond calculation. The many hours devoted to obtaining addresses, and the time and dedication given to the final compilation of the mailing list is seldom seen in any volunteer organization. The other aspects of this Centennial Event were organized and administered in the same manner. Was it all worthwhile’ The letter printed below, one of many which the Committee gratefully acknowledges, explains it all. The success of the reunion was completely dependent upon the attendance of former teachers, and former students with their spouses and friends Heartfelt thanks for not letting us down. T.

JOHN PATERSON'S SPEECH When John was approached, by phone to be guest speaker at our Reunion, he asked what was expected of him. He was told to be pointed, short, and funny. He said his wife was listening in on the extension phone, and refused to at­tend the Reunion. He said, she thought he was going to ex­pose himself. He said: "The good memories are overwhelming — the bad memories hard to bring to mind." When referring to our "Wine and Cheese" get-together, . he said he never saw more people who cared for one anoth­er. liked one another — and yell louder. John mentioned that there was one person we all were thinking of and missed and that was Mr. Kyle. He said everyone there had a story to tell about him. "He was tough, but he was fair. He knew everything going on in the school — and — he cared." "What a wonderful legacy to leave " Towards the conclusion of his talk. John told us that some of us may have learned 'nothing' from his speech He said "to learn nothing is important for survival and we shouldn't belittle its importance. It may mean life or death, failure or success, joy or sadness. (Here are a few experpts.) 1) Mountain climbers have died when they stepped on it 2) Parachutists are upset when they pull their rip cord and it comes out. 3) Farmers have lost their farms when they grow it 4) Baseball and hockey coaches have been fired when their teams score it. 5) Women have been winked at when they're wearing it. 6) Some women make a good living when they dance in it. 7) It may represent the sum total of your debt or what you have in your bank account. 8) It is what is learned when Dick Johnson makes a political speech. ETC. ETC. John concluded by saying I could go on. but it would mean nothing. Don't try to thank me. it was nothing. "We are today what our friends, parents, teachers, and co-workers told us we were." John has a program on a local radio station in Edmonton One day, an elderly, blind woman called in to say she listened to him all the time, and wondered what he looked like. John asked her what she thought he looked like. She said she pic tured him as being tall around 6' 3” to 6' 4", with an athletic build $he thought he would be blond good look ing and in his early 30’s. John said "You've got it." He said he didn't want to discourage a blind old lady. John finished by saying "None of us will ever be able to thank enough. Rex and his committee for this opportuni­ty. To our dear friends." followed by a standing ovation. "To our dear teachers we're fortunate to have had you. You yelled at us. fought for us — and cared." WILKINS TAUGHT 10,000 STUDENTS it's probably difficult for a 1940 Lethbridge Collegiate Institute gradu­ate to find many things in common with a 1956 grad but one thing they do have in common is Dr Isabel Wilkins. During her long teaching career at the tCl, Wilkins taught French. Latin and English to about 10,00 students "I taught two generations." says Wilkins, who was known to a few students as Miss Landels. "And the odd one of a third generation " Education changed quite a bit from the time she began teaching m 1930 until when she retired in 1971. She taught for one year at the LCI right after graduation from the University of Alberta. Wilkins then spent her second year teaching in a junior high in Cal­gary but adds she missed teaching at the senior high level She was invited back because the LCI French teacher of the time was getting married but a school board regulation at the time didn't allow married teachers to work "In 1930 when I came to Lethbridge I had never been south of Cal­gary. The lawns had been burned brown and I thought it was aw­ful. I intended to stay for one year here I am 55 years later and I wouldn't go "back to Calgary." She says after a while you begin to make many friends and put down roots "a lot of the students in Grade 11 and 12 are my close friends now." Wilkins took her doctorate at Laval University in Quebec City and then did some post doctoral work in Pans. France. She was married in 1952 — by that time the school board had dropped "this predjudice” against employing married women Wilkins tells her students to travel as much as they can and she practices what she preaches She has been around the world two times, has been to mainland China three times and is just back from a cruise from San Francisco to Sitka. Alaska and back again 24 25 Frank Hosek Sr. (age 87) at Reunion 26 TEACHERS ATTENDING THE REUNION W. A. (Bill) Rea — Lethbridge taught English, Social Studies and Drama for 36 years at L.C.I.
