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. Sian Damian
