I,THOl'tlH the war has been oflici- ally over for nearly four years. we are not yet experiencing the fulfilment of those ideals for which it was fought. We still have to win the peace. and the Youth of this country can and must play an important role in this tremendous task. One of the opening sentences at the UNESCO Conference was Since wars began in the minds of men it is in the minds of men that the defence of peace must be constructed. International understanding can best be developed by starting at home. If each individual does his part, the tide will soon rise and spread from the school to the community, to the neighbouring communities, then to the whole country and other nations. We must pay more attention to human relationships, learn how to get along with our fellow workers, and respect the sincere opinion of others, no matter what their creed or colour. We are living in a world that is getting smaller and smaller because of rapid transit and improved communications. Airplanes and the radio have brought all peoples and nations very close. There is some good in all peoples and we must aim to find out what it is by keeping ourselves well-informed and abreast with develop- ments in international affairs. There are many agencies and organizations working towards a peaceful solution of the world's problems and it devolves upon us to support and defend them. Iam proud to say that from my cam- paratively long experience with young people I have unboun- hi ded confidence in the Youth of our country. It has been said that our young people are going to the dogs, but that is probably because the misdeefls of the lew are given much publicity, while the solid and sincere living habits of the many go unnoticed. The Youth of to-day are much better in- formed than ever be- fore and they are assuming positions of responsibilty and leadership in an excep- tionally able manner. In general. they are willing to accept the advice of wise counsel and it is the small minority that succumb to the temptations of gang- playf' vandalism, and crime. If our young people will but realize and appreciate the many advantages of this wonderful CANADA of ours and work to preserve our British traditions of democracy, of freedom of speech and worship, then the future of Fanada is in good hands. I believe they will do their part and rise to the challenge. Above is reproduced the front cover of Vol. l of the TECH TATLER, puhlished for Danforth Tech lthen Riverdale Branch Technical SChooI l in the spring of 1924. With the editorial assistance of successive teachers from the English Staff, Mr. George Elms has hrought out a TECH TATLER for each vear since that first pioneering effort. TECH THTLER 5 FROfTl THE EDITORS DESH OES OUR education end when we leave Danforth Tech ? Does our final year mark the breaking of all bonds with the school? These questions, no doubt, arise in the minds of all of us when we are faced with leaving a school which for several years has been the source of interest in life. A minority, of course, will continue their search for more educa- tion in institutes of higher learning-but can be gained by working in the profession or trade in which we have specialized, but learning under expert guidance as at ni ht school is of tremendous value to the ie- ginner. It is for this reason that the night school courses have found such pop- ularity among Tech grads of other years who have realized the need either for more specialized training in their field or for sheer recreation. EDITCDIAL what is to become of those who do not? The answer to this question may be the Tech Night School. The Night School courses at Danforth offer a great variety of outlets for the tal- ents or inclinations of any student. If we feel we are unable to complete our aca- demic studies at day school, we may take the required subjects at night while earn- ing our living during regular working hours. If the student has a hobby which he would like to extend or even start, he may enroll in any one of several courses in plastics, art, or leather craft. The weaker sex is attracted by the inclusion of such courses as sewing and dress-making. These are just a few of the many courses made available to anyone who has the intention of continuing his ties with the school. Beyond any shadow of a doubt, the more extensive the training the higher is the eaming power of the individual. Some of us may feel a sense of relief when we attain the certificate which indicates that we have finished our course and may feel that the work of education is complete. Much practical and necessary experience Hn 'N-1 Thus we have two good reasons to prompt us. They are the training itself, and also the fact that we will still be con- nected with the school which has given us so much both materially and spiritually. It has been our guide in manners and morals. By those of us who have benefit- ed by this experience a debt of gratitude is felt and no matter how calloused our opinion may be of the rigour and strain connected with our school days, we all have misgivings at leaving. Many will remember the hard work, however spas- modic, which accompanied our school examinations, but none of us will forget the good times and lasting friendships which we made at school among both the students and teachers. So it is with regret that we leave our alma mater and set out into the world, richly influenced by the tradition and good name borne by Dan- forth Technical School.

THE HDDRESSES RINCIPAL Ferguson: I am proud of the grand record of this school in His Majesty's service. Over two thousand students and teachers enlisted, and served in practically every branch of the service and in virtually every zone of combat. I am proud that their Excellencies, Viscount Alexander of Tunis, Governor- General of Canada, and Lady Alexander have been pleased to honour us with their gracious presence on t his auspicious occasion. But I am sad when I think of the two hundred and forty-one pupils and teachers who made the supreme sacrifice and who are not with us to-day and to whom this ceremony is especially dedica- ted. As a teacher at this school since its opening twenty-five years ago, I knew all of these two hundred and thirty-nine boys, one girl, and one fellow-teacher by their first names, and I know the noble characters which were theirs. With a heavy heart I recall our many pleasant and happy associations within these walls. I recall the high plans and hopes they had for a future in which to live a full and abundant life of service to their fellow men, their country, and their God. Yet, when the call came, they gave themselves freely and willingly in the cause of human liberty and freedom. As we mourn today, may we rededicate our .lives to the ideals for which they were willing to enter the dark portals of death. Mr. Foley: Within our library. and on the two wall surfaces on either side of the central library window, have been placed two plaques that bear the two hundred and forty-one names of the honoured dead. car- ved in enduring bronze so that for all time. 'at the going down of the sun and in the moming,' we will remember them. Then, facing the two wider stone mullions of the window and at their base have been erected two cabinets that will house the thirty-five volumes of records accumulated during the war, records which will be not merely an epitome of our own labours during the struggle, but a priceless commentary on the community's contribution to the war effort. Finally, the Memorial Window itself speaks to us the one essential message gleaned from this war, the message of human freedom, freedom from want, free- dom from fear, freedom of speech, freedom 9 of religion. Those are the four themes that are depicted graphically in the sym- bolism of the design and human figure in the two outer pairs of windows and re- peated and amplified in the symbolism of the smaller windows immediately above them. The central pair of windows gives unity to the whole, in this sense, that in the one case the student is represented as the soldier in arms, ready and alert to defend these priceless freedomsg and in the other case, he is represented as the man in civil life, upholding in the daily round of his common duties, these same freedoms. Above these two windows there is in one window the coat of arms of the Dominion of Canada and in the other the coat of amis of this School. Throughout the whole window, you will see many an inscription and many a text, speaking to you the wisdom of the ages, truths as living and as vital as the day they were first minted. To two of these I would draw your attention. They are upon the central pair of windows and they are complementary each to the other. The one is this: Unto all for aye I charge thee work, and let not Death dismay, Nor the shadow of Death, but greatly hope and dare. The other speaks to us of the heritage of our race, a heritage won at great price and to be preserved only by wisdom and the inflexible will to defend it. It is this: We must be free or die, who speak the tongue That Shakespeare spake, the faith and morals hold Which Milton held. Such is the Memorial, which we have seen fit to erect in this school, to honour those of whose service we are justifiably proud, and those whose loss we deplore. Viscount Alexander: As Governor-Gem eral of Canada I am proud to be here to- day to pay my tribute to the gallant sons and daughters of the Danforth Technical School who served during the Second World War, and to those who gave their lives for King and Country. But as Commander-in-Chief I am proufler still to have the privilege of unveiling this memor- ial to the honoured memory cf those men 10 and women, many of whom were my com- rades in arms on the battlefields of Europe. By their service and sacrifice, they have not only added lustre to their old school, but have immortalized their own names as true patriots and great Canadians. The proud record of Danforth is a re- markable one-2,198 teachers and stu- dents enlisted in the armed forces, of whom 241 paid the supreme sacrifice. These men and women answered the call of Duty. No praise that we can give them is high enough. Their reward lies in their deeds and achievements which have saved this country and its people from foreign domination, and made it possible for us to gather here to-day and pay our homage to them. We who are left behind may mourn their loss, but it is a comfort to realize that they who set out on the great adven- ture, did so, prepared to see it through to the end, even at the sacrifice of their own lives if need be, knowing full well that Canada must live to champion the ideals of freedom and brotherhood a mon g nations, to which task our race has dedi- cated itself. And so to the glory of God, and in honoured memory of those who served and of those who died that we might live, I unveil this memorial. TECH TATLER Mr. Arnold: To me, as Chairman of the Board of Education, has been assigned the duty of accepting ofiicially the memorial which has been dedicated and unveiled this afternoon. Itis appropriate, Ibelieve, that I should on behalf of the Board of Education for the City of Toronto, express to Your Excellency our gratification that you should have graced this occasion with your presence. I should like to assure you on behalf of the members of the Board, the Teaching and Maintenance Staff and the eighty-two thousand students, of the loyalty and devotion which we hold towards His Majesty and our attachment to those principles for which the British Common- wealth of Nations stands. But to you, who both in war and peace have had a unique opportunity of observing how these sentiments have been implemented, such an expression is probably unnecessary. This tribute to the former students of this school, it is hoped, will serve to inspire those who follow after them, but to those of us of this generation, the memory of their sacriice imprinted upon our hearts will remain as long as life itself shall last. It is with these thoughts in mind that I have a solemn pleasure in accepting at your hands, this memorial which from this day forward will form an integral part of this school.

Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is excellent, His glory is above the earth and Heaven. I can think of no more appropriate Words for my opening remarks then these Ihave just quoted-taken from the Holy Scriptures. On November 11th, 1918, at eleven o'clock, the Armistice was signed to close World War 1. Since then on the last school day before the 11th, this school and other schools in the Province have held a special Ser- vice of Remembrance and Thanksgiving. After the close of the second World War in 1945. this Remembrance Day has taken added significance. We are assembled to-day for three especial reasons: Qij To revere the memory of those who gave their lives in World War I, and pay grateful tribute to the surviving veterans, many of Whom are numbered among the parents of students attending our schools to-day. Ciib To remember with reverence and humility, those who enlisted in WORLD WAR II, more particularly those who made the supreme sacrifice in the cause of freedom, liberty and our British traditions. riiib To beseech you, the Youth of Canada, to keep sacred their memory and to see to it that their sacrifice has not been in vain. To enjoin you to appreciate and cherish the four freedoms-freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom of speech, and freedom of worship-and preserve them at any cost. To exhort you to re- dedicate your lives to the service of God, to practice tolerance, honesty and charity, those jewels of democracy, so that you, the citizens of to-mlorrow, may carry high the torch, to the glory of God and good of man ind.

Foley, Head of Foley: the English and Language Departments of the Danforth Technical School. Mr. Foley is a veteran of the first WORLD WAR and was chairman of the War Service Committee of the school during the second WORLD WAR. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Foley. Thank you, Mr. Mann During the twenty years following the first WORLD WAR, every school boy and girl committed to memory, and on Remembrance Day, we heard intoned the stirring and challenging words of john McCrea, speaking for his comrades in Death: To you from failing hands we throw The torchg be yours to hold it high, If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields. We are told that John McCrae and his poem and its message are out- moded. The fact is, for those twenty years we committed that great poem to memory g we engraved it upon our memorals, recited it and found for the moment emotional exultation. But never did we carve it upon the tablets of our heartsg never did we take up the torch g instead, in selfishness, we sewed the whirlwind, and reaped the savagery and devastation of a second WORLD WAR. To-day we find ourselves again almost in the identically perilous plight of ten years ago. And again we hear speaking to us the voices of the Undying Dead, speaking now with more impelling and imperious urgencyg counselling, us not to selfishness, or cynicism. or doubt, or fear, but counselling us to manly fortitude, to unshaken loyalties and fidelities to home and school, to church and to state: counselling us to a re-dedication of our lives to the unfinished work which they so nobly advanced. In February, 1941, during the fury of the battle of Britain, President Roosevelt pencilled on a piece of paper and despatched to Winston Churchill this fragment of a poem by Longfellow : Sail on, O ship of state l Sail on, O union, strong and brave ! Humanity with all its fears With all the hopes of future years, Hangs breathless on thy fate. Churchill promptly replied with these characteristic words : Give us your faith and your blessing. We shall not fail or falter. We shall not weaken nor tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long- drawn trials of vigilance and exertion wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job. 14 TECH THTLGR Client: Danforth Technical School C H U M Date 3 Wednesday' Nov' ?gEl?I'll2Y of Remembrance Toronto, Canada 10, 1948 Number: 3 Continuity Time: 10:45-11:00 Announcer: I-any Mann Foley: At this time our thoughts turn in gratitude to these two great men and Qconfdj to all our men and women who in the war served and counted not the cost.

I1R. In our class there is Sharpe, He just sleeps while the teachers harp. There's Hughson and Mueller they can swim And they're not bad in the gymg We've got Waters and Somers and our Runcie- Boy O' Boy can they ever ski. Jones, McTurner, Tuck, and Lee, They're the boys that we never seeg And Howard, the boy with the curls, He uses them to lure the girls. Speaking of girls, we have none But we've got Locke, can he ever run? Shepherd's the boy that needs oil on his voice And Lumsden is just a pilot by choice. I wrote this poem just little me, And if you're wondering the name's Smitty. -Den Smith. M1A There is a boy in MIA Who for his work would like to get pay. I-lis two front teeth go up and down And make a funny clicking sound. For doing his homework, that lid like to see: This boy's name is Glenn B. There's another boy in our class And all the teachers he does sassg He is a wolf with the girls, Anything, that is, that has curls. This is true, you would see, If you're in the class with Gordon C. -Howard Fitz Gerald. MID We're the boys of M1D, We're not as dumb as one can beg We wander down the corridors, Banging on every other door. We kick up a rumpus in the halls, Or else we write all over the walls. The remarks we receive while in our glee, Are the faults of MIC. We're never in hot water with Mr. Mageeg Detentions aren't our specialty, And we're as happy as can be, Because we're the boys of MID. -Al Tennyson.

J. is the classroom jester All the teachers she tries to pester Margaret S. is a quiet gal For some nice boy she'd make a nice pal And so we come to our last little mate Alma Van Luven whose voice is sedate She, of course is our hookeying gal But just the same she's quite a pal This is the end of little rhyme From this day forth we'll be in our prime. -Roberta Burns 12AB Gilliver gives the girls the eye, When they look back he nearly dies. Scotty gets in the teachers' hair, When they come to look for him he just isn't there. Simpson cracks a joke or two, But to tell them here wou.ld never do. Foster plays with his movie projector, He's always getting in Dutch with Hectci. Strong is our form's great athlete, He's really quick and smart on his feet. Pound is a joker, phrase well said, He walks as if his feet were lead. Pritchard is always smootching smokes, Upon which he nearly chokes. Dinely looks like a dollar bill, From standing round the lunchroom till. Littlemore tosses every cent, To make some money is his intent. When McKee broke his foot, his troubles started, That's when he and his bank roll parted. Quinton while skiing broke his leg, Now' he walks on a wooden peg. Smitty, the silent type is he, But dangerous C!!J as the girls will see. Wall is the brains of our little class, He rents his notebook - a buck a pass.

Donnie Cameron is quite a Boy, He's brave and bold and Oh! so coy. Normie Chessel's the cream of the crop, But when writing exams he is always a flop. Gerald Donn is really a card, He finds school work so very hard. In spite of the dirt George Faulkner's our lad- We wonder if he has ever read that Lifebuoy Ad. Wilson in school is always humming, While on the street. cigarettes he is burning. Jack French is a student of knowledge and renown, When it comes to composition he can't tell a noun. When Keenan's away from school it's not news, With notes from home he is always excused. Leslie Lang uses a smelly hair lotion, He has his doubts about early promotion. Ron Mclntosh brings onion sandwiches to eat, Which makes his breath smell nice and sweet. Donald Petican is Oh! such a flash, But getting to school he is always last. Kenny Shepherd is our serious hick, At examination time he worries himself sick. Ken Fletcher walks like a mope, 43 But when it comes to girls he's no dope. With girls Albert Solman is quite a whizz, And schoolwork to him is one big quiz. In the twine Turk Tordoff is really a pro, And with the girls, he is the popular shmoe. You would hardly know Fred White is alive, He is known to us as Mister Five By Five. John Walden thinks he knows a lot, When it comes to prove it he's not so hot. William Shakespeare.

Oh! incidentally, we are a shocking group as you can see, . Because we specialize in electricity. -Don Miller I 3 G Happy, prosperous, strong, and free? Because we laff and sing, and jest, Nominate such shmoos as West, Have a Joe that lost a toe, Mitch is the guy with all the dough.

We copy Liz's homework 'cause it's always right, And Marty - try going to bed some night. Marilyn's from Malvern, perish the thought! There's Ellie and Slop who sing crazy songs, TECH THTLER Deenie and Joanne we sure like a lot, Mousey is cute and fresh as a daisy, In History Sam drives Mr. Fick crazy, Joe has an admirer who's not in our room, Don Smith's hair would make any girl swoon. George thinks the new look is really smart, Gwennie and Addie are never apart. And that's the end - there ain't no more, That's all there is, as I said before, There ain't no more, dopes, in ye olde Art 3. So goodbye - love to you all from all of we. -Benevenuto Cellini. I3P When you read this poem you will see, The bad and good points of I3P. At dawn 'Mitch' is met with clicking of heels, We have a master whose another Heals Beals. - Heil! Merv's got his eye on a blonde in B hall, And is quite a player with a rugby ball, Bentley makes a habit of missing Friday each week, Yet the marks he gets are really sleek. Wark is the tallest of us all, While little Yeoanan is so small, In gym he has no chance to star, He cannot reach the lowest bar. Ruddells the roundest of us crums, You'd swoon the way he plays the drums. Pelzls just the opposite in size, The garlic he eats brings tears to our eyes. Blair likes Mousie's shapely map, And Hawkins is a quiet chap. Davidson has the brawn and brains, While Perriman wears size 11's, he claims. And now to finish up the poem- There's a guy named Kerr you certainly know 'im, His life is pointed to a hockey career, Each time he sees Pat, he falls flat on his ear. -George Kerr.

GEO. ARNOLD ' KKCH N194 r z l fi ig' 3 .il 0 its HTHLETICS - 50 TECH TFITLER THE BOY HND THE GHTTTE GYMNASTICS Number one spot for the '48-49 local sports picture must go to the Danforth Tech Gymnastics team. Coaches VVendorf and Crighton pushed them through to the T. S.- S.A.A. Championship and possession of the coveted Don Barton Memorial Trophy. W'e should emphasize here the extraordinary physical-cultural value of gymnas- tics. Combining as it does the timing, co-ordination and balance of diving, the competitive thrill of a track meet, the deftness of fencing, and the muscle-building qualities of weight-lifting, gymnastics produces an all-round physical development that is a perfect foundation not only for all other sports but for adult life itself. Not enough credit can be given the P.T. instructors responsible for the tremendous comeback staged by gymnastics here in our east end bailiwickg from nothing they have within a period of three years produced Toronto's top squad. All kinds of credit, too, to the hard-working team members whose persistent prac- tice has produced such splendid results. Earl Pfaff is senior member of the outfit and three times winner of the Phillips Shieldg Don Bartle is a natural gymnast who makes the most difficult movements look easyg Lorne Mawhinney runs through the movements with unrivalled smoothness and graceg Dick Hales excels particu- larly on the high barg and VVarrington Ellicott, who last year came through to cap- ture the junior city title. concocts apparently impossible movements to prove a tower of strength to the squad competitively. f RUGBY NVhi1e we hit the jackpot in gymnastics this year, we had to be content with making a good showing in football. An exceptionally young junior outfit marched courageously through the season without a single win to console them. 'We feel certain that the intestinal fortitude they so abundantly displayed in getting out there, week after week, and taking it on the chin should stand them in goofl stead in rugby next year and in life always. As a tribute to their season's work wt- feel that we can really appropriately quote Grantland Rice's famous VVhen the One Great Scorer comes To write against your name, l-Te writes not that you won or lost But how you played the game. The Seniors. while they failed to make the city semi-finals. had quite a contrast- ing record. Sparked by experienced players like Clive Bynoe, Ken Slobod, Ken Lye, Bill Calder, Don Bartle, and Bill Dimoff thev won three of their five tussles. A jittery opener against Tarvis set them behind the well-known eight ball right at the beginning of the '48 campaign. A strong, hard-charging line and a smooth-fund tioning backfield then carried the Red and XVhite to one-sided whitewash victories against Lawrence Park, Malvern, and North Toronto, only to blow an early lead in the final set-to against Parkdale and pass out of the 1948 play-off picture. CROSS-COUNTRY The Annual Danforth Tech Cross-Countrv Run held October 21 provided an ex- cellent springboard for our entries in the T.S.S.A.A. 1948 championships. The local event took our boys over a course which provided a good enough mingling of flat and hill country to be a real test of stamina. Irwin Ledlie repeated his triumph of '47 to take the senior laurels with Hugh Quance and Allan Nicholson close on TECH THTLER ABOVE: Danforth's City Gymnastics Champions LOWER LEFT: A glance at the Field Day March Past LOWER RIGHT: The 1949 Senior Basketball Squad TECH THTLER UPPER LEFT: 1949 D.

In the T.S.S.A.A. do at High Park Mr. Soloman's coaching garnered a decisive first place for the junior team comprising Bill Hatton, jack McRoberts, Ross Wal- ton, Dave Calder, and Phillip McVeigh while Ledlie, Nicholson, Quance, Wood and White of the senior squad were nosed out of first spot by only a yard or two to cap- ture an easy second. A A BASKETBALL D.T.S. marched into the city semi-finals after a short schedule thrown together in the odd moments permitted by Bob Saunders' Hydro power black-out. The Red and White power plant for these regular games centred about the high-scoring trio of Abrams, Otto, and Petroff with Rickett turning in a basket-laden tally as the occasion arose. Central Commerce, however, managed to capture both chapters of the semi- finals despite the respectable two-game personal totals of 23 and 18 chalked up by Don Abrams and Don Otto respectively. Tl-IE GIRL HND TI-IE GHfTlE VOLLEYBALL The sports limelight for September and October focussed attention on the American G.I.'s favourite sport, volleyballg every Tuesday and Thursday enthu- siasts congregated in the girls' gym to show their stuff in the intra-mural tourna- ment. With Miss White as instructress and Guelda Goodyear as curator, winning teams finally emerged as V4C, MSG, VZA, and VIB. The season was topped off by a specially arranged inter-school match with Eastern Commerce. This ended quite happily as the two schools divided honours, with our neighbours taking the jun- ior set and the Red and White seniors capturing their end of proceedings. BADMINTON The Badminton Club also got under way early in the year. After a few weeks of practice and general limbering up the Sisters of the Shuttlecock met in a doubles tournament. Luella Leech and Geri Locke paired up to trim Dolores Howard and Guelda Goodyear for top honours. The success of the tandem tourney created a demand for the addition of singles championships and inter-school challenge matches for next year. . CHEER-LEADERS Following weeks of practice, strenuous competition before a packed auditor- ium, and a final seeding-out by the P.T. Staff, the survivors of a starting field of thirty-four in the annual cheer-leading tournament were Pauline Cumming, Bette Burford, Isabelle Alexander, Eila Aineskorpi, George Hatfield, Bob Fergus and Ross Brown. Climax to the season's tonsil-torturing activity came with the final T.S.S.A.A. rugby game and the award to the D.T.S. rabble-rousers of the Cheer-leaders' Tro- phy, presented annually for precision and originality in cheers, trimness of cos- tume, and the volume of response from the bleachers. 54 TECH THTLER TUMBLDN2 Every other Wednesday after 3.30 throughout the winter months the girls' gym was packed with athletically-minded girls tumbling or trying to. This year, for the first time in the school's history, the girls sported special costumes-red corduroy shorts and flashy white satin blouses-for the Annual Exhibition. With Miss White and the leaders constantly directing them the Danforth gals are developing nicely, stiff necks and sore backs are now in the past and graceful front and back rolls, nip-ups, handstands, headstands, dives and pyramids are no longer regarded as rare accidents but as quite the expected thing. Most proficient among our performers to date have been Joan Black, Lois Tinkham, Adele Barnctte, joan Griffan, Joan Watmough, Marg Atkins, Anne Bexpolock, Marian Dalton, Isa- belle Alexander, Joan Howes, Eila Aineskorpi, Bette Burford, Lillian Watmough, Marilyn Hambly, and Dolores Howard. SWWMNUNG Supervision of girls' swimming was taken over by Miss Day this year, and she had excellent turn-outs for all three divisions-the Royal Life-Saving Classg the junior, Intermediate, and Senior Canadian Red Cross groups, and the Ornamental Swimming team. Pat Oliver and Eleanor Terrell, both excellent swimmers themselves, took charge of the Ornamental Swimming and managed to produce a nearly perfect show for the Annual D.T.S. Exhibition. The mermaids were Pat Oliver, Mae Genno, Joan Lester, Lorraine Kronkeit, Sylvia Hawke, jackie Kershner, Gladys Hornby, Hilda Maguire, Betty Garrett, Eleanor Terrell, Mona McCarthy, Barbara Blackhall, Barbara Hazelton, Irene Lochead, Barbara Daniells, and Dorothy Eaken. BASKETBALL january-February's big interest in girls' sports was, as usual, basketball. This season saw a return to strict girls' rules instead of last year's combination of girls' and boys' regulations. Although the change was greeted with groans, it evidently did not interfere with the hoopsters' fun as they turned out in larger numbers than ever. The tournament took the form of a round-robin, duly appointed cura- tors saw to it that games did not lag, that points were properly allotted, and that equipment was looked after. Isabelle Alexander undertook the job for XI and XII, Frances Watt for X, and Bette Burford for IX. After many staff set-tos and a few bruised bodies-despite the girls' rules- V4C and VZA emerged as the two top teams. Members of the senior aggregation are june Myers, Eileen Black, Mable Venman, Isabelle Alexander, Bette Burford, Eila Aineskorpi, and Audrey Riceg junior title-holders are Fran Watt, Betty Ro- gers, Stella Morris, Dorothy Dafoe, Dorothy Fulcher, Adele Barnett and Shirley Comport. Special note: both teams won all games in their respective divisions.

Above the dreamy music of Boyd Valleau's Orchestra, could be heard shrieks of terror from the fool- hardy couples who entered the Chamber of Horrors 3 alias the boy's dressing room. There you were liable to receive anything from a spine-tingling electric shock, to a gristly piece of liver tossed mysteriously into your face. The gym was decorated in Hallowe'en orange and black. Among those dancing beneath the many streamers and eyeing the colourful posters were Pauline Crum- mey, Stan Courtney, Mae Genno, Gord Tyndall, Glenna Tinkham, a nd Tom White. Prizes were given to those with the best costumes and Valerie Clark as an Indian Pocahontas took tops for the girls, while Dallas Abel had everyone completely fooled by his garb borrowed from the middle east. Many others won prizes for spot dances. All in all, the dance was a whopping success and a credit to the Students' Council who planned it. DoZ1l4cMahon COMMENCEMENT On Friday, November 12 the big doors of Danforth Tech. again welcomed back its many students for Commencement. Girls and boys from the Industrial, Voca- tional, Art, and General courses all eagerly returned to receive those long-dreamed-of diplomas. Under the direction of Mr. M. B. Par- nall the school orchestra opened the pro- gramme with a March and singing of the hymn Onward Christian Soldiers. This was followed by a report by Principal W. P. Ferguson on the school accomplish- ments during 1947-48 and an invocation by trustee Rev. D. M. Kerr. After the presentations of the diplomas. the no w famous Danforth Technical School Girl's Choir under the direction of Dr. R. C. Davis sang Bless This House and All The Things You Are. Before t h e presentation o f special awards and scholarships an address was given by the guest speaker Mr. L. S. Beattie, Director of Vocational Education. Outstanding among the awards was the presentation of the Cheerleaders' Trophy 59 to that energetic group comprising Eila Corby, Isabelle Alexander, Bette Burford, Pauline Crummey, Bob Fergus, George Hatfield, and Ross Brown. The programme closed with the valedic- tory address by Michael Harrison which ably expressed the sentiments of the graduates. Following the excercises the graduates and friends got together in the gym for dancing and refreshments. Music by the Moderns' and decorations were all arrang- ed for by the Students' Council. Among those seen talking over old times and enjoying the dance were, Gord Wood, La Reine Teich, joan Underwood, Bill Sou- ter, and Donna Buccino. Geri Locke YULETIDE YUMP The night was cold, but though Winter's bitterness tried its best, it could not thwart the Christmas spirit in the air. It was December 21, and the Yuletide Yump, the main event of the season was taking place at Danforth. The spark of Yuletide enthusiasm was ignited by the cheery decorations in the boy's gym. Christmas trees with colour- ed lights occupied the corners and a huge tree beautifully decorated dominated the middle of th e floor. Red and green streamers and soft lights all added to the spirit of Christmas. What would Christmas be without a Santa Claus? Well to make our dance complete we had a specially arranged visit from good old St. Nick himself. He spoke to many of the dancers and after getting some hilarious replies to, What would you like for Christmas? did a little ad- vance gift distributing. Ray Railey and his band added to the evening's ultimate success. Seen among the crowd enjoying the gay yuletide dance were Ken Lye, Lucy Marsa. Lue Leech, Martin Philp, Tony Esgro, and Lillian Watmough. Geri Locke AIR CADETS DANCE One of the highlights of the year was the Air Cadets' Dance held in mid-Febru- ary. Decorations and all arrangements were made by Squadron Leader Purvis and our school Air Cadets. The Musicians' Union supplied as a complimentary service, none other than Benny Louis and his orchestra. It was like 60 going to see a famous name band in a one- night appearance at one of the popular dancing places, you had to look about to reassure yourself that you were in our own school gym. Many wouldn't buy an invitation, but many students besides the members of the Air Cadets, on the basis of their participation in school activities, ob- tained them. Seen among the crowd en- joying the absolutely super music were Joan McFarlane, Bert Walker, Bob Craig, Betty Burford, and Bill McAlpine. Geri Locke RED AND WHITE PROM Our familiar gym was transformed into a perfect ballroom for the Red and White Prom on Feb. 25. A red and white pylon in the centre of the floor held a huge kaleidoscopic globe that revolved under a big silver star and reflected dashes of multicoloured light throughout the gym. A trellis of flowers, D. T. S. crests, and red TECH THTLER and white streamers played their parts in the gay decorations. In the receiving line were: Ron Tyndall and Joan McFarlane, Principal and Mrs. Ferguson. Vice-Principal and Mrs. Magee, Mr. and Mrs. May, Mr. and Mrs. Hodgins. Later in the evening Ron Tyndall made a presentation to Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Magee in recognition of their 25 years with Danforth Tech. Doing a reappearance at Danforth was that ever-popular man with Tech. stu- dents, Boyd Valleau and Orch. Seen among the crowd enjoying his mellow music were Shirley McColl, Ross Wren. Doreen Begley, Mike Harrison, Joan Hawes and Bill Dimoff. Refreshments were served in the cafe- teria during intermission, and punch in the gym to thirsty dancers throughout the evening. Everyone in the extra large turnout agreed this year's Prom was the best yet. Geri Locke .1 fu 1 ,I . N .z,,. ',-I . Qu.,'0 if 3 'eil i f ...R ffl' ' 1 M- 5 1 !

From the steaming fields came a hot, moist breeze peculiar to the interior of China's Southern Provinces. lt was noon, and miles away, over the shimmering purple Peling Moun- tains, a black line of clouds was gathering. Only the fat buzzing flies and tiny wriggling water spiders showed any signs of life. As the afternoon dragged on and the heat and humidity grew worse, even the flies became still. Then, far up the river, a tiny object appeared, dancing in the heat haze and moving downstream with the lazy cur- rent. lt was a small native sampan carrying a Chinese peasant and his bundles of mul- berry leaves. Sweating, naked to the waist, he toiled on, wielding his long oar in effort- less rhythm. His big round hat, hand-fash- ioned from the river reeds, was tipped down over his face. shielding his eyes from the fierce glare. He chanted a strange native tune as he paddled on. This, and the dip- ping of his oar, were the only sounds dis- turbing the perfect quiet. The native stopped long enough to turn and look at the skvg then he resumed pad- FISH HUD CHIPS iq fqmze agadlan, Mqlrq Grandpa , said Barney, looking up hope- fullv from his porridge and milk, c'n I have a dog? This was the question put before Captain Hank by his six-year-old grandson. Ever since Barney's parents had died, he and the boy had lived on the old fishing vessel, the Sally Anne, anchored in Bass Bay. All the sailors knew them and were forever bring- ing little presents to the curly-haired, blue- eyed child. They had given him a fishing pole which had never, never caught a fish, a parrot, a couple of turtles, candies, and other such gifts. The captain had agreed to let the turtles stay and even the parrots, but now a dog . . .! Well now , said the captain slowly, just what kind of a dog were ye expecting to get. Oh, maybe one that likes the water see'n as he'd have to live on the boat, said Bar- ney thoughtfully. One that wouldn't get seasickf' Now that's too bad, son, said the cap- tain, 'cause I don't reckon there's any such dog as likes the water. Maybe he could get used to it, Grandpa, and I'd clean up after 'im if he did get kind of sick, said the boy. TECH TFITLER dling at a quicker rate, for the black clouds were almost overhead. As the clouds shut out the withering heat of the sun, the Se- Kiang lost its yellow colour and became a foreboding black. Along the banks of the river a buzzing arose as millions of insects moved off in search of shelter from the com- ing rain. Then, with an ear-splitting clap of thunder, the buzzing was forgotten. The thunder crashed and echoed from the Peling Mountains, and here and there jagged forks of lightning plunged into the ground. Terror stamped on his face, the superstitious native began paddling fiercely into shore. Reaching the south bank of the river, he leaped from his sampan onto the mud-flat. As his legs sank knee-deep into the sticky mire, a scream of horror came from his lips. He thrashed about wildly, reaching out with straining arms for the bow of his boat. The brown mud reached his waist. Shouting and twisting, he sought escape from his awful captor. The mud closed around his neck, and he screamed forth a prayer to his gods. Then he disappeared. Only his hat remained, but that too, under the relentless beating of the rain, soon vanished beneath the brown mud. That's all very well and good, lad, but just where do ye think I'll be gettin' the money to buy ye a dog. Besides it's liable to fall overboard and get itself drowned and then you'd be unhappy, the money wasted, and no good would come of it all. How about me gettin' you one o' those stuffed dogs? You wouldn't have to feed it and it wouldn't fall overboard? But it wouldn't run or bark, pleaded Barney. Please, Grandpa? l Ifll think it over, muttered the captain in his. sandy beard and considered the matter c osed. Barney was about to say more when the Nancy Lou drew alongside and Mike and Joe came aboard. Mike began telling Cap- tain Hanks about a new sure-fire bait while Joe went over to Barney and learned all about the hoped-for dog. One night about a week later, after Barney had gone to bed, the captain inspected his catch for the day. It was the largest he'd gotten in some time and he felt quite proud of it. After checking the moorings and mak- ing sure the boat was safe for the night, Captain Hanks went below to his bunk to dream of the profits he'd get from the catch. TECH TFITLER The next morning when Barney came sleepily above, the captain was pacing the deck furiously. What's wrong, Grandpa? Barney asked excitedly. tfDid pirates come or something? No, roared the captain. My catch was stolen by some low-down thieves. Best catch I ever got! Stolen! Humph! , If I'd had a dog, Barney stated fiercely, he'd have caught the fish stealers, I bet. Have you thought it over Grandpa? About the dog? No, you can't have one. But Grandpa, sobbed . Barney, he'd guard the boat and everything. I Now, just a minute, said the captain, becoming a bit calmer, . I'l1 get ye a dog, lad, and mebbe those thlevin' devils 'ill try to rob me again, and then we'll see. Hmm! So Barney and the Captain went ashore sized mongrel for fifty cents. The excited boy finally got the dog, whom he called Chips, to the Sally Anne, after dragging him from every tree and promptly being dragged to the next. I When they boarded the boat, Captain Hanks let out a bellow that must have been heard at Sunny Cove, half a mile down the 63 lake. There, safe and sound in the hatch, lay the fish. On top was this note: Dear Capt. Hanks, Seeing as Barney wanted a dog so badly and you weren't likely to be getting him one, we took your catch to let you think it had been stolen. When we saw you and the lad leaving the Sally Ann, we were pretty sure you were going to get a dog. Here's your catch back again and you best be keep- ing the mongrel for protection. Yours, Mike and Joe. Captain Hanks read the note aloud. He wasn't sure whether to laugh or be angry. Finally he said, All right, he can stay. Barney breathed a sigh of relief and then asked anxiously. About christenin' 'im, Grandpa. We'll call 'im Chips, but do you hit him over the head with a bottle like Mike did the Nancy Lou, or what? Well, said the Captain gravely, I don't rightly know, but we'll have to look into that. Yep, that we will. my ecrmo DEBUTH A., ea Meow, ,usa lt is said that actors are made, not born. I am a product of a maternity hospital which is, I suppose, reason enough for my being a theatrical failure. In the rear portions of my head, I always nourished the notion that some day I might be a great actor. The pros- pect enthralled me. Perhaps I had fallen under the charm of Hollywood movies. Per- haps I was living in a delirium. No matter. The fact is that when approached by the drarnatics director of the young people's club of my church, I accepted a part in a skit. During the week prior to the first practice my imagination became extremely fertile. l envisioned myself as John Barrymore, stirring audiences to the point of hysteria. l saw myself as Henry the Fifth urging his armies on to the siege of Harfleur. I once even caught myself portraying Lady Mac- beth, but my mind had been overworked that day, for after a good night's sleep I was back to normal. However, my imagination and pride re- ceived a shattering blow at the first re- hearsal. To my intense disappointment, I found that my part consisted of only one line, to be exact, seven words. I buried my dignity and assured myself that to become great one must start at the bottom. I would learn my role perfectly, I resolved. I would study it till I knew it forwards, backwards, and upside down. I later realized that that was a tremendous error. My part in the skit was really quite in- significant. The production was a satire on radio broadcasting. The section of the play in which I participated was devoted to com- mercials, a very fruitful field. A budding Stis Skinner was to ask the familiar ques- ions: Ladies, do you feel tired when you get up in the morning? Do your arms ache after doing the weekly wash? When you stay out late at night, do you get bags under your eyes? You need a stimulant. l Then came my big moment. I announced in a voice oozing with friendliness, Try Pankhurst's Pink Pills for Pale People. Those dynamic words were to form my debut in the theatrical world. The night of the performance arrived. As I-had vowed, I could recite my line in any direction requested and after much painful practice, I had achieved the correct tone of voice. I was ready for the theatre. There was no question as to my success. My few words received more applause than any other part of the play. For weeks afterwards my friends congratulated me. They said they had never seen or heard anything like it, and I never once doubted them. But it made no difference. The theatre and I there and then parted company. I had definitely made a place for myself in it, but I could not get myself to occupy it. Perhaps I should explain why. Maybe you wonder at my leaving the theatre at the verge of an apparently magnificent career. Let me return to that fateful night. With the time of my entrance rapidly ap- proaching, I stood in the wings shivering violently. My colleague began his spiel and my moment was only seconds away. My teeth started an extremely realistic imitation of a machine-gun. Then I heard my cue. After a last desperate attempt to compose myself. I stepped onto the stage. This was it, the climax. I strode up to the microphone and to my absolute horror said in a thin quavering voice, Try Pankhurst's Pale Pills for Pink People . 64 -TECH TFITLER STRHUGE- .fLHllGUAG6 V .

Miss Clark, Mr. May The Students' Council elections got off to a booming start early in the year. After campaigning for a week, final speeches were given in the Auditorium and voting took place. Soon after the Executive was formed and the rest of the school chose their respective representatives, the council got under way with planning tea-dances, night dances, and choosing a Fri-nite Club committee to handle those big nights. The Students' Council did other work be- sides planning and organizing social affairs. This year they are having a Students, Coun- cil Handbook printed telling how we organ- ize the council, council procedure, and the work of the different committees. This book should be a handy thing for any school wishing information on Student Council affairs or to any student in our own school who is interested in learning more about wliat goes on in their own Students' Coun- ci . The Students' Council assisted the cheer- leaders in paying for their uniforms and also assisted the Hi-Y Club that is a newly organ- ized and struggling Club in Danforth Tech. this year. A great deal of work has been done by different committees. Among these are the decorations, coke, prize, and social com- mittees. There is no glory attached to any of these jobs that are essential to making a success of any social affair. May we give a well-deserved vote of thanks to them as well as to the hard working Executive itself. The Students' Council climaxed its year with a party for the members. This party was held at the school - with swimming in the tanks, dancing in the gym, and ping pong in the cafeteria providing an inexpen- sive and enjoyable night of fun for all the workers on the Council.

There have been ski clubs in the past, but this is the first time it has been affiliated with a profes- sional club, the Toronto Ski Club. Enroll- ment of members was excellent and there are over one hundred would-be skiers in the club. On the first outing members were taken by bus from Coxwell and Danforth to the TECH THTER Summit Slopes, where they were welcomed. A wonderful time was royally had by all and we learned a lot of skiing-oops! I mean skiing. We returned home by bus. The success of our club is credited to the staff advisor, Mr. F. J. Burford.

Mr. Earl Barr, Drill and Discipline This year the cadet corps has undergone a vast organizational changeg from a two- squadron outfit it has burgeoned into a full wing set-up so that it may have the mach- inery at hand to permit more widespread participation of the student body in the Wed- nesday night training parades. These par- ades which have become increasingly popu- lar in the past few years include instruction in armament, wireless, meteorology, marks- manship, navigation, theory of flight, aero- engines, precision drill, jet propulsion, and sports parades. For two weeks last August the cadets were stationed at Aylmer where they went up in llakotas and Beechcrait as one of the chief attractions of the stay. This year there will be considerable competition for trips to Aylmer, especially in the hope of securing extra legen on some of the important advan- tages to be had only through the air cadets ---flying scholarships, exchange tours to the U.S.A. and Great Britain, the O'Brien Scho- larships, and Royal Roads and R.M.C. Scho- larships. For 1949-50 the corps plans increased emphasis on the Wednesday night parades and the qualification of more cadets for flying scholarships as well as the other ex- tensive benefits of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets organization. TECH THILER THE GIRLS' RIFLE CLUB Well, the school year 1948-49 has come and gone, and with it go many fond mem- ories. Some memories will be about the hard work we have had to endure, others about the dances and interesting clubs we have enjoyed, but, for the girls, I know there is at least one good memory which they will NOT have. Of course I mean the Girls' Rifle Club. Mr. Elms was willing, as in other years, to teach all newcomers and pros the thrilling sport of target shooting. Our champion Boys' Rifle Team had claimed all of Mr. Elms' time and only Thursday noon hours were available to hold the club. The project was abandoned because the time was so short. But it is our hope to welcome to next year's club all girls, whether you are a freshie or one of the old girls . Shooting, the so-called men's sport , is just as excit- ing for a girl, and we hope there will be many girls who will share their enthusiasm. It has been proved in previous years that the femmes can at least occasionally out- shoot the boys. So good luck, girls, for next year--and how about a championship of our own?

Bob Fergus After a lapse of two years Danforth once again is a member of the internationally famous Hi-Y Clubs. The purpose of these clubs is to create, maintain, and- extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character . Each club is run entirely by its members. The club arranged a tea-dance - The Hi-Y-Jump . The proceeds of this and other projects are donated directly to some worthy charitable organization. Although he has no official capacity, we have a good friend and capable adviser in Mr. Lewis Fick, a new addition to Danforth's teaching staff. He initiated the organizing of our Hi-Y club and is always ready and willing to help us over any rough spots or difficulties. Every member of the club is deeply grateful to him and would like to take this opportunity to thank him. THE D.T.S. RIFLE CLUB During the 1947-48 season, under the sup- ervision of Mr. Elms, our rifle teams won the D.C.R.A. and A.C.L.C. championships for the Dominion of Canada. They had an average of 96.8 for each competition with twelve- man teams. Our riflemen also came second in the O.R.A. with 98.12 for an eight-man team. This fall Mr. Elms started his boys in October, while the others could not start until January due 'to the .power cut-offs. After school there is shooting for all, ex- cept on Mondays when Mr. Elms has the team out. Mr. Marsh has forty first-formers on Thursdays: Mr. Millar takes about fifteen second-year pupils every Tuesday: Mr. Mc- Kenzie has approximately twenty-five third- year students on Wednesdays, while Mr. 67 Bleecker takes thirty seniors shooting on Fridays. Last year Robert Daly, Tom Orrett and John Kup received their gold D.M. medals for each tiring ten targets of 93 or over. Wendell Stevenson came out on top in a three-stage match to win the Elms Trophy as the schoo1's best shot. Many ot the good shots are now leaving the school, and new ones must take their place if Tech. is to keep up its high standard of marksmanship. From the after-school riflemen we hope to get new and better teams for years to come, new members are always welcome. CAMERA CLUB President .,................. .... R .

He is sadly missed, but a capable young man in the person of Mr. Comfort, has taken over. Our meetings take place on Wednesday afternoons, in Comfort's Corner . For the first time in the Camera Club's history we have a female vice-president and a male secretary. The social convener's job is a new one too, since Mr. Comfort gets hungry ance a month, and we feel obliged to feed im. The Camera Club has sold pictures of the Bantam, Junior and Senior rugby teams, this has helped to get some funds for vari- ous needs. At present we are thinking of obtaining an enlarging machine for produc- ing bigger prints. If you want to know more about the Camera Club, drop around next yealr and put your John Hancock on the list ear y. THE CURRENT EVENTS CLUB At the beginning of 1949 the Current Events Club was formed, adding another group to Tech's long list of extra curricular activities. The Club caught on immediately and soon C3 was humming with the informal debate of its members. Meetings are held every other Monday after school, and topics ranging from the Beanery Boys to the troubles in Palestine have been discussed. The Club owes its existence to the sugges- tion of Mr. D. M. Brown that it be formed. Eric Harvest was elected to be the club's representative and it was decided that the chairmanship be a rotating position, so that all members should have an opportunity to wield the glavel. The Club started off with a members ip of about twenty, of whom the lone feminine member very capably dis- cussed the. subjects with the best of her male associates thus upholding the prestige of the fairer sex. lt is hoped that the group's enrollment will increase in the coming year. Williams of MSIN, a veteran of the Can- adian Navy who spent some time in the Far East, led the discussion on the subject 68 of the crisis in Indonesia. Harold Cohen led the discussion on the Palestine situation. On March 23, 1949, Mr. Fred McTaggart, a reporter of the Globe and Mail who had just arrived back from Palestine, Greece and Germany, came at the request of the Cur- rent Events Club to speak to the student body on his travels and the situations of various European countries. The Club chose Albert Bach of M5AB to attend the meeting of the General Assembly of the U.N. at Lake Success, N.Y., in April. This trip wasmade at the expense of the Board of Education who sent a representa- tive from each secondary school having a Current Events Club. This trip provided much interesting information and made im- portant contacts for the new club. THE CHESS CLUB The Chess Club got under way in mid- October under the supervision of Mr. A. E. Brown. The usual stand-bys as well as new and prospective members showed up. The club officers were elected and the season began. The Chess Ladder was erected and the hard rung-by-rung battle commenced. The object oi this is to procure a seat near the top and stay there until the team tsix boys or girlsl is selected for inter-school com- petition. Our last ycar's team defeated Eastern Commerce and Riverdale but lost to Jarvis. But alas, it seems as if our come- back team of this year is not going to have a chance to secure revenge as, due to un- known circumstances, there are no inter- sachool tangles this year. The Club Championship tournament start- ed in mid-January this year with all mem- bers competing eagerly. Last year's struggle ended with Bill Smith and Counte Duggan in the finals, the latter skimming through to victory. This year's members all have high hopes Cfor the time being! of copping the G. A. Arnold trophy for 1949. Anyone interested either in joining the club or learning the game is cordially invited to visit us in 1949-50. Special attention and in- struction will be given to the weaker sex. Let's see you all turn out next year for a rousing game of chess, JUNIOR RED CROSS '49 Danforth Techy holds high its excellent reputation for Red Cross work. ,Contribu- tions to the needy children of Europe did concentrate this year in a wide assortment of gifts, but concentrated upon more volume and less variety. Thanks go to the sewing department for: 16 pairs of boys' overalls, size fourg 80 sunsuits, size twog 8,crib cov- ers: 16 pairs of baby bootiesg and 4 pairs of boys' pants, size eight. Happy will be th? hearts ofthe mothers who receive these gi ts. Work on the home front ran on a high level also. At Christmas, many a heart was lightened at the sight of favours, distributed to the military hospitals of Toronto. Thanks go to the art classesfor Danforth's sizeable donation. The Junior Red Cross Council's big ob- jective this year is to raise enough money TECH THTLER to provide a Station Wagon or car for use in the Occupational Therapy Centre. ' A show, Red Cross Varietiesv, was held to help raise the money at the beginning of December. Jim Scott was our singing con- tribution to the success of the show. In the late spring a drive will be held to further the raising of money for the car. Keep interested, Danforth, and help the many crippled and handicapped children who need aid so desperately. CANADIAN HIGH NEWS U I-ligh News are the familiar words ring- ing in the minds of sales hounds and in the ears of buyers. Thanks to Geri Locke, Lue Leech, Bill McCalpine, Joyce Blais, Marion Rattray, Lucy Morra, George Hatfield and Dolores Howard, Danforth managed to raise its sales quota to a mere four hundred. Thanksare also due to Pat Peacock, Geri Locke, Don Abram, Lue Leech and Ethel Price for keeping Tech. posted on the dances, parties, and athletic happenings. The C.H.N., after being improved this year by many new features, went one step further by putting out a twentyfpage paper to make it a national paper with national news. fLook out, Daily Star!J In the one and only jalopy parade of the year, Danforth came in for fourth place with our faithful Douglas C Dimples J War- rmgton's venerable buggy. Congratulations, Doug. V The Canadianvlfligh News grows bigger and better every year and with your con- tinued patronage it will be in ever greater demand in every school. Q EXHIBITION A After a last week of scurry and hurry around school we were ready for the Annual Tech. Exhibition on March 18 and 19. The school was open these two nights from 7 to 10 p.m. for visitors to see work done by the students. I In some departments it was like seeing regular classes in action. The Industrial classes put a very impressive show in their 'shops' Other action classes were the cooking and hairdressing departments that put on, besides a very interesting display, demonstrations of how they work. Visitors also could see very interesting work of students displayed in the history, English, art, mathematics, and sewing departments. I In the gym and tank the students of Tech. took part in demonstrations of their abilities in athletics. The annual Auditorium show, under the direction of Mr. Langelle, gave the public an impressive idea of the talent in our school. Refreshments were served in the cafeteria and the school went on as though it was just another day except for the mammoth crowd of spectators that thronged corridors and classrooms. Each evening of the exhibition at 10 p.m. there was dancing in both the boys' and girlsf gyms. These' annual Exhibition dances might well be named the Sardine Shuffles, but the idea of crowds didn't seem to turn anyone away. QQCHNIC A ' 5 It i f .il ' 72, 00 ' . . 'A KM muscenmnem 70 TECH TFITLER G! Mwucal Nate The school orchestra, under the effective direction of Mr. M. B. Parnall, has again played a major role in a Danforth Tech year. Its first major engagement of the year, the Annual Commencement, found it lending both continuity and a pleasant background to the lengthy programme, and setting the calibre of per- formance which it upheld throughout the remaining months of the 1948-49 session. Its teacher-director is a strong believer in the theory that music is an im- portant aid to character building, that faithful attendance at orchestra practices and appearances begets permanent characteristics of courtesy, co-operation, and punctuality. This evaluation of music by Mr. Parnall is well illustrated by the number of senior students with outstanding records in this respect. They include Doris Spearing, Alice Jones, Douglas Linn, Garry Lewis, Sam Eto, Gordon Keel- ing, Ed. Mewett, James Manser, Robert Benness, and Norman McLeod. These members have merited the special gold orchestra pins which are awarded mein- bers who complete two years with regular attendance. , -Fern Gould TI-IE GIRLS' CHOIR Director-Dr. R. C.

Grace Bates Building on the successes of the 1947-48 musical season, the Girls' Choir dur- ing the past school year reached new heights of achievement under the inspiring baton of Dr. Davis. Its first appearance of the year was a return engagement to participate in the opening ceremonies of Education NVeek on the steps of the City Hall. Out in the sunlight the contrasting red velvet jerkins and white pleated skirts made a colourful picture against the dull grey stones of Toronto's centre of municipal government. The choir's second major date involved a Remembrance Day appearance be- fore the student body in the D.T.S. Auditorium and the radio broadcast to all On- tario of the songs Land of Hope and Glory . Bless This House , The Lord's Prayer , and finally Hail to Thee, Canada -- the last the composition of Dr. Davis himself. The Annual Commencement and a special concert in Danforth United Church were other standout moments in the choir's calendar for 1948-49. -Grace Bates. THE DANCE BAND After a lapse of four years the D.T.S. Dance Band was revived this year. Doug. Perrin, Garry Lewis, Sam Eto, Don Dolson, Gord Keeling, Barry Gard, Ed. Mew- ett, jim McCurdy, Jim Butt, and Doris Spearing, under the experienced leadership of Mr. W. W. Bates, brought to life the band which has enlivened Thursday noon- hours in the Auditorium for six months of the school year just ended. The mel- ody-makers not only made their own widely-applauded contributions to the enter- tainment of their fellow-students but provided the accompaniment for the numer- ous guest vocalists and instrumentalists who were featured on these free and easy post-prandial rhythm sessions. -Doris Spearing.

How- ever, we have received many year-books from schools in Ontario and other provinces. Some of these schools have not received TATLERS in exchange. This year we hope to send a copy of our magazine to every school with which we have previously ex- changed year-books. The following are a few items selected from the annuals which have come to our desk: Philosophy No. 1. Lives there a student, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, Homework be darned, I'm going to bed. -Blue and White, Walkerville Collegiate. Short-short Action Story. A mule in a barnyard-lazy and slick, A boy with a pin on the end of a stick. Boy steps behind him as still as a mouse . . . Crepe on the door of the little boy's house. -The Scarboro Bluff, Scarboro Collegiate The Advantages of Playing Rugby. I draw the line at kissing She said in accents fine, But he was a rugby player And so he crossed the line. -The Volt, Ingersoll Collegiate. Hey, you! shouted the policeman to the fifth form student who was driving through town with his best girl beside him, Use both hands! Can't do it, the student replied. I need one to drive with. -The Argosy, Central Commerce fHamiltonJ If you stay overnight at my house, you'l1 have to make your own bed. I don't mind. Here's a hammer and saw. -The Boomerang, Brockville Collegiate. Philosophy No. 2. Laugh and the class laughs with youg Go to the office and you go alone. -The Towers W. D.

You ought to put up a scarecrow. Mr. MacKenzie: Oh, it's hardly worth it. There's always one of us in the garden. At the request of several of his teachers the Guidance Department was putting Smith through his paces. Mr. Tate: If I cut off one of your ears what would happen? Smith: I couldn't hear.
