TECH TFITLER EXCI-IHHGES . . LUX GLEBACNA, Glebe C.I., Ottawa The Letters to the Editor and the Lux Poll proved very interesting. We think your title pages are excellent and the Pablum Page quite -original. VULCAN, Central Tech, Toronto Congratulations go to Central Tech. Their UNITED NATIONS NUMBER was a. job well done. An excellent book all round. EASTERN ECHO, Eastern High School of Commerce, Toronto, Ontario Sports photos were excellent. The Teac-hers' Survey proved that many of the Commerce Profs have quite a sense of humour. BLUE AND GOLD, East York C.I., Toronto E.Y.'s Student Government may picture itself in diapers but from all indications in their year-book it is doing a man- sized jo-b. Sports Whirl was particularly well done. GLENMORIES, Glenlawn C.I., St. Vital, Manitoba From Nonsense Avenue -Dim lights have the highest Csjcandle power. TECH TALK, Ottawa Technical High, Ottawa An exc-ellent book from cover to cover. Team pictures and write-ups, class bi- ographies, and the informal photo page were particularly noteworthy. THE VOLT, Ingersoll C.I., Ingersoll, Ontario One of the few schools which pi-ctured Initiation Day. They even initiate the boys. The literary section contained an amusing story of brawn vs. brains- A Lesson from the Book . TELL-YOU-ALL, Waterford High, Waterford, Ontario Something different and very interest- ing-a page reserved for Messages from former Students. 49 THE HELICONIAN, Moulton College, Toronto, Ontario The Literary pages provided pleasant reading.

THE ORACLE, Ft. William C.I., Ft. William, Ontario F.W.C.I.'s Ideal Girl and Boy sounded very interesting but probably too good and Ex- to be true. Definition-Tests aminations - Methods of showing us what we don't know and proving it to us. TOWERS, W. D. Lowe Vocational, Windsor, Ontario Most notable features were the Cadet and Sports write-ups and the candid camera page. The fine printing was a little hard to read but aside from that TOWERS was quite good. DELPHIAN, Earl Haig C. I., Toronto An extensive Literary section included such interesting topics as: Ice Capades and Barbara Ann, Pros and Cons of Sunday Sports, Racial Toleration, and a debate on Hollywood vs. English mov- ies. MAGNET, Jarvis C. I., Toronto The bright red cover on the Magnet was quite noticeable. Jarvis Presents the Mikado, School Daze, and the Laff page were among many excellent fea- tures of a well-arranged year-book.

TECH TFTTLER 51 THE BOY HUD THE GHTUEU CROSS COUNTRY Hail heroes! Danforth is proud of her fleet-footed cross-country specialists who this year won both the T.S.S.A.A. Junior and Senior crowns and then went on to cop Dominion laurels. Coached by Mr. A. W. Soloman the harrier experts trained rigorously three nighsts Weekly onthe cinder oval at their back door. Reward for this effort came when they finished one competition point ahead of Northern Vocational to take the annual two and a half mile j aunt over the hills of High Park. The first Danforth runner to cut the tape was veteran Irwin Ledlie who placed fourth in the field. Don Hicks, Bill Chaplin, Dick Hobbs, and Earl Thomas grouped right behind him to aggregate the least number of team places against them. Jack McRoberts led our Juniors to their title by capturing the individual junior crown in twelve minutes and forty seconds. Other young runners who upheld Tech 's name were Eric Schwen- dau, Sam Scowcroft, Dick Leslie, and Chuck Turner. Then, eagerly questing new fields to conquer, the distance boys entered a team in the Dominion title meet held conveniently close alt Leaside High School. Again they came through with fiying colours to win the Hi-News Tro- phy, symbolic of Canadian second-ary school cross-country supremacy. Ledlie, McRoberts, Hicks, Chaplin, Leslie, Thomas, and Calder carried the good old red and white to this final victory. GYMNASTICS Last spring, our star gymnasts, with the expert coaching of Mr. V. Wendorf, sparkled to the T.S.S.A.A. Gymnastic Championship. Don Bartle exhibited terrific form in the most difiicult move- ments thus winning the honour of In- dividual City Champion. Previously, in a pre-season meet, the team had placed third. After rigid train- ing through the winter months, the team rose to peak form. This is the first time that our alma mater had won the title since 1936. In the All-Ontario Meet at Hart House the Gym team proved them- selves third besft in Ontario. The team members were: Earl Pfaff, Captaing Don Bartle, Doug Warrington, W. Ella- cott, Dick Hales, Lorne Mawhinney. This year our gym team hopes to take the laurels again, for Don Bartle, Dick Hales, Lorne Mawhinney an-d two out- standing juniors are ready to flow through their movements for t-he glory of dear old Danforth. Our Junior Team tried hard and placed third in the city championships. Tommy Sanlon, captain, G. David, B. Logue, T. McCauley, and R. McDermott were the enthusiastic contestants. D.T.S. FIELD DAY Danforth Tech's own field day was held on Thursday, June 2, 1949. Many records were shattered. The school was honoured with the presence of Miss Margaret Fitkin, former Director of Athletics for the school, and now from Chicago. Irwin Ledlie won the individual sen- ior sports events with Dave West close behind. B. Bentley topped t-he Interme- diate with English leading the Juniors. Fevereau led the Juvenile class. Dave West equalled the previous record of the 100-yd. dash in 10.4 sec- onds. In the 220-yd. final -he beat the record set by himself in '45 in 24.0 seconds. Don Cheeseman threw the javelin 134 fft., 2 in. for another new record. Vern Rice broke the Intermediate 220 record in 24.6 seconds. B. Bentley rheaved the discus 91' 3 for another new mark. The Junior high jump was equalled by Allison with a jump of 5 ft. 0 in. John Bergman broke a thirteen-year- old shot put record with a put of 42 ft. 7 96 in. in the junior competition.
