14 TECH TATLER snappy music. There were several other items including dance per- formances, recitations and piano solos. After the programme we went down to the lunch room to listen to Miss Walker give Miss Rodgers a few pointers, on how corn is grown in China, while they were Waiting for it to cook. We then went down to the gym and danced until Miss Worthington had to chase us home. Interform Basketball The interform games started on November 20th when the big fight for the pennant, which is now held by V.2.A.B., began. The first schedule game was played on November 20th when Art 1 played V.l.A.B. Basketball This years' basketball team are making remarkable progress under the excellent coaching of Miss Worthington.

Exhibition Games Our Junior girls invited Central's Senior and Junior teams down for an exhibition game on November 13th. Our girls were successful in defeating their Juniors by the score of 25-16 but did not do so well with their Seniors 16--4. Bud Nattrass, Dorothy Medhurst and Verna King of last year's Dan- forth fame played very well with Central's Seniors. Another exhibition game was played in our gym with Harbord C.l. on November 17th. Our girls showed great improvement and ggfeaged Harbord by the score of In the first league game we were defeated by Jarvis 34-24. The next game was played with Northern Vocational when We were successful by 37-15. . Our Masquerade Blazing with colour and glowing with joy Rollicking laughter and bantering jest This was the scene that night in November In our Srhool, clad in festival dress. Thronging soft-lighted and colourful halls Clothed in the gayest and richest costumes Knights with their ladies, bold pirates and gypsies Danced to the brightest and liveliest tunes. Soldiers and cavaliers, Indian maidens Merry young clowns, and pretty pier- rette Mexican beauties and gay caballeros Graced the big gym in glorious fete. Now comes the morning with cool, searching light Sending pale beams on a desolate floor Torn ends, and streamer: of faded, limp paper Mock at a :plendaur that now is no more. -D. Garratt Problems Answered DEAR Miss CONNIE UNDRUM : There are six girls in our class, who are terrorized by one of our teachers. When this masterful worthy stalks into the room, looks around the room in search of prey, and suddenly pounces on one of them to answer an unfathomable question, despair is written on her face. Some turn pale, others a ghastly green, and other a brilliant red. They gulp, and try to Continued on page 27

16 stef isp eminisrenres -T e From the West It was your Mr. Staples, A persistant man is he g By thy ready tongue and glasses bright Now wherefore stopp'st thou me F I do desire your memoirs, please 5 I'll censor them, said he, And if you do not give me them, Young man, you're going to dee ! I sat me down upon a chair, My pencil did I ply, And this is the result. You see I had no wish to die. I see that day I came to Tech, A stranger at its door No chairs there were for students then, They sat upon the floor. I see our Principal, a man Who worked with might and main With boys who had gone off the track To set them right again. The Auditorium too, I see, Where we saw ourselves a Srhool And sang a hymn and heard again How we our lives should rule. The Gym ! There is no other place Can rival it in my heart, A place for work, a place for fun, A place set quite apart. There every week the Leaders' Corps, That group beyond compare Would play on horse or on high bar While I tore at my hair. A fearless squad, they dared all things, For htness they did thrive, And many times our janitor Did chase them after five ! And mad March days I do recall When we produced our plays, When costumes, make-up, practising, My head kept in a daze. We'd Grandpa Philpott in Old Songs' ' In Old King Cole we'd Jill, We 'd darkie boys and chorus girls, - Their noise the place did Hll. But most of all I remember there The spirit of D.T. S., The spirit of manliness and pride In giving the School our best. And while that spirit does prevail Its fame will greater grow, And that we're proud of Danforth Tech We'll let the whole world know ! -Mr. J. 7. Pxzimpf From the North H ............ And this foundation stone Well and truly laid, round which shall rise a noble edifice in which many of the young people of this district may lay the foundation of a career of usefulness to the community, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Amen. Such was the invocation at the laying of the corner-stone of the Danforth Cthen Riverdale Branchb Technical School, on a sunny day in July, 1922. A small crowd of oH-icials of the Board of Educa- tion and others listened that day to the simple service when the school was dedicated to a career of useful- ness , in the corner stone was placed various things of interest which are now history'-a copy of each of the Toronto newspapers of that day, some of the coins ofthe Dominion, alist of all the members of the Board, and minutes of the
