The wide variety of work includ- ed outdoor sketches, still life, chalk drawings and portraiture. This is the kind of thing that in- spires us to greater aims, and seals our confidence in those in whose charge we are. We are looking forward to the next.

HELLO EVERYBODY :- Doesn't the time fly? Why it seems only yesterday, 1928, when we trudged up the steps of Riverdale Tech, wondering what would be- come of us in such a vast place. Do you remember the first few days when we almost lost our way in the immense halls, trying to find our assigned class room 5 but it did not take us long to make ourselves at home and at home we were, although Hthe second year did think that they conducted the school. 1929 l Wasn,t that the year for fun? Why we could not get into our new named school, Danforth Tech, fast enough to greet our old friends. That was the time when we thought we were usomebodyf' that was the year when we had the the pleasure of being on the TECH TATLER Staff, all Committees, and taking part in the concerts. The Annual Exhibition was the great day of days. The Dress Parade! Oh, girls wasn't it dreadful when we were behind the curtain, wait- ing for our turn and then when it came, having to be pushed out by our darling teachers, Miss Hunter and Miss Butcher, to parade across the huge platform to the strains of the Day School Orchestra. The plays, weren't they fun F Remem- ber Gordon Appleby? Didn't he look comical with his bald head, but of course it was only a wig. Bill Bartlett, wasn't he cute as our teacher with those long flowing robes, and of course we couldn't forget Oscar Welti, our dear darkie, who sang a solo about the 'Teachers' lot. Didn't the little dutch girl look sweet with her long golden braids and wooden clogs. They were the good old days. Of course you all know that Mr. Saunders is the Daddy,' of the Northern Vocational School this year and Mr. Ferguson reigns over Danforth Tech. Many teachers have changed their position also. Jolly Mr. Temple has gone to the New Northern School as assistant principal. Mr. Finlay, Mr. Fallis, formerly of HC floor, and the dear little girl, Miss Mallon, has also deserted us to go with Mr. Saunders. Of course we all miss the handsome teacher who presided in C25 he, Mr. Philips has gone to Western Tech as the Head of the Mathematics Department. We hope to see them again some- time. We have heard that Mr. Brown is ill, and missing from the HHalls of Tech. We are verry sorry to receive this news and hope that he will soon be back. He will be missed very much because of his devoted work for the TECH TATLER. Although we will miss these old friends and grieve over the loss of not seeing them for awhile, we want to be gay and think of some of our old fellow pupils : STAN CABLE-who distinguished himself at Camp Borden in athlet-

He didn't find ranches and cowboys and such, Or fall down a place called Devil's Gulch, He didnit find towers that reached to the skies, But he did find a bunch of fierce look- ing guys. They had paint on their arms and their legs and their face, So much had they that they looked out of place : On their heads they had feathers plucked out of some bird, And the funniest school yells Columbus had heard. They thought that Columbus was some- body grand, And just for his credit they played their jazz band 5 They played Annie Laurie and other wild tunes, And the Indians dan-:ed round like a bunch of mad loons. He played Sevens Up and Rummey when he honoured their saloons 1 But when the games were over he just had his pantaloons. Then he raised his one free hand, the other held his pants, He left and jumped a taxi, and started out for France. Archibald ! the teacher's voice broke in my reverie, Why don't you pay attention and learn your history ? Answer me this question-Why did Columbus go Across the sea with just a crew of twenty men or so? I stammered and I stuttered and I racked my stalling brain, But the thing refused to function and I tried my best in vain, The teacher gave me fifty lines and oh gosh ! what a fuss Because of someone dead and gone, Good Christopher Columbus. -Edith Green Staunch Friends A swirl of gold and white and gray and black,- Rackety, vibrant, glad with life's hot jest,- Sunnybank collies, gaily surging pack,- These are my chums 5 the chums that love me best. Not chums alone, but courtiers, zealots, too,- Clean-white of soul, too wise for fraud or sham , Yet senseless in their worship ever new. These are the friendly folk whose god I am. We humans are so slow to understand! Swift in our wrath, deaf to the justice- plea, Nleeting out punishment with lavish hand! What, but a dog, would serve such gods as we P Heaven gave them souls, I'm sure 5 but dulled the brain, Lest they should sadden at so brief a span Of heedless, honest life as they sustain, Or doubt the godhead of their master, man. Service that asks no price g forgiveness free For injury or for injustice hard. Staunch friendship, wanting n e i t h e r thanks nor fee Save privilege to worship and to guard. -Perry Crofjeld
