TECH THTLER l I I I 1 D. T. S. CEDTEDHRY HCTIVITIES . A.mid-February Variety Show in the Auditorium under the direction of Mr. Cam Langille was the first ofHcial Danforth Tech recognition of the Toronto Board of Education's centenary. The centenary theme was carefully interwoven throughout the pro- gramme with ingenious contrasts of past and present worked into successive numbers. But the 1950 Annual Danforth Technical School Exhibition, held this year on March 17 and 18, provided the real school tribute to the Board which has been directing the work of education in Toronto over the past century. To begin with, the Exhibition itself was dedicated to the centenary. Then six rooms were set aside exclusively for cen- tennial exhibits. And finally the chairmen of various subject committees worked the theme into displays and demonstrations connected with their subjects. Standout in the opinion of many visitors was the replica of a mid-nineteenth century school set up on Floor C and illus- trating the standard equipment and furnishings current in Toronto at the time the Toronto Board of Education was in- augurated. An electrically controlled map, showing all schools under the Toronto Board of Education, the probable expansion in the Metropolitan Area, the insignia of the secondary schools of Toronto and district, and the model schools old and new, aroused such interest that it subsequently went on tour to other parts of the city. The Science Department presented the history and growth of chemical education in Canada, complete with samples of mineral production in the past century. The Domestic Arts stu- dents turned out displays of the old and new in sewing and cos- tume, especially as applied to the school girl. Even the plumbing shops went to work on a contrast of the past and present in their department. The influence of the Exhibition's Centenary theme was espe- cially noticeable in the exhibits of the English and History de- partments. Charts, illustrations, and models time and again re- flected' the progress perceptible in matters educational and cul- tural over the century during which the Toronto Board of Edu- cation has operated its constantly growing network of schools.
