if ARA TUSN A In the Technical Department we have some very bright teachers. For example, one of them firmly believes that it is only the Law of the Church which pre- vents a man from marrying his widow's sister. Another highly respected and honoured member of the department thinks t'hat a polygon is a dead parrot. T2 A e rum-rvs 'i Bowey is like the Amazon-he never dries up. Pk 214 GEOGRAPHICAL ROMANCE He met her at Friendship, Maine, fol- lowed her to Love, Virginia, and asked her to name the day at Ring, Arkansas. They were married at Church, Iowa, and set- tled down at Home, Oregon, but the twins were born at Boise, Idaho. T. ID Form News Two weeks after we started school, the first forms had completed the strenuous labour of planing a board to the right width and thickness. They consider them- selves good Woodworkers. - P14 PF if Government officials say that the Do- minion loses a large amount of money due to forest fires. They must never have heard of' woodworking classes, that's where all the wood goes, not to the fires. MORNING EXERCISES IN ROOM 49 Before we start to-day's lesson every- body take the brush on the side of the desk and brush away all the shavings un- der your bench and sweep it out into the aisle. 5:4 :lf :F Pupils of T 1D are now making a book stand in the Woodworking Department. 914 P14 Pk DRAFTING Drafting is a very interesting subject An artist paints his pictures and other things as they appear to him, but a drafts- man draws his work as it really is. This is the difference between the two. In drafting the lines are either straight, arc, or circle. In an artist's work there are lines of all sorts. Many people think drafting is not good for everybody but it is. Anybody can use drafting knowledge. A storekeeper, if he is buying a new show case or something like that, the salesman just needs to show him the blueprint and he knows how it is going to be. Pk Pk all WHAT WE LEARN IN ELECTRICITY In the electricity room we have been wiring and learning about the annunciator and other electrical fixtures. We have learned to make and solder different splices. Each boy made a small design out of the splices he made. We have made a form board on which splices we have made were formed into a design. 110 BASKETBALL We did not start our basketball season off very well. The first game we lost with a score of 7-5. Our second game we lost, playing C1, by a score of 15-10. Our third game we Won, playing 1D, with a score of 14-12. The last game was the best game we played. It was 1D and we beat them by the score of 22-2. It was the best game we played and of course it was almost a white-wash. During the four games we won two and lost two. We expected to do better, but We got fooled. The team is as follows'--Centre, Swiss, forwards, Stewart and Walker, guards, Taylor and Oliver, Subs., Wylie and Patrick. if :if P? INTERFORM RUGBY T 1D and T 1C had a rugby team com- bined. We played four games and won two. The games we won were good games, the first two games broke us in. We had mostly light players. Nelson, of T 1C, was captain. He was a good half- back, McWilliams, also of T 1C, was good but was too light I Sowler, of T 1D, played good games all the time. He spoiled most of the oppon- ents' end runs. T. Hatt played in m-ost of our games. He gained yards every time he got hold of the ball. Team:-Snap-Silk, line-J. Patrick, Hatt, Fisher, McEwen, Steggles, Wylie, Sowler, Swiss, Quarterback-McWilliams, Half Backs-Walker, Nelson. -J. Swiss. 'lf PF 24 T 1D was born on September fifth, 1930, with a roll of twenty-five. Since then some have moved themselves to new locations and others have come to us. Through ,all these changes we still have a roll of 'twenty-five. We have members 1

Scott, timidly- Whiskers on the face of the earth, sir. :Ez :la is An American was touring Scotland. He came upon a lake fed by a little stream and in amazement turned to his guide and said That is a wonderful lake, if we had it in America we should soon make good use of it. You can have it, said Sandy. Here's how you can get it over there, get a one-inch pipe, put one end in this lake, take the other end to America, and. if you're as good a sucker as you are a blower you'll soon have it there.

Home Economics ' OUR CLASS TRIP TO TORONTO By Marion Smith, I-I3 Our form met at the Galt Canadian Pacific Railway Station, and .went down to Toronto on the six-forty-three train. This took us about an hour and three- quarters, so you can see we had ample time to take in the scenery. It struck me that the country through which we passed was very much the same as it is around Galt. In one particular place I noticed a number of stump and stone fences. From this I concluded that the land had not been cleared so long as it has around here, for if it had, you would find the fences falling down and rotting away. We arrived in Toronto about half-past eight, and the first thing we did was to examine the large Union Station, and look at the displays in the show-cases of the tunnels leading up to the Royal York Hotel. There was some tooled leather- work here in which we were interested, but, of course, we could not spend too much time in one place so hurried on, and went to Simpson's, where we spent the rest of the morning. At Simpson's there was a large de- partment taken up with lamp shades, in which we were naturally very much in- terested. We examined the materials out of which they were made, noticed the designs and the stands, and were greatly surprised at the high prices, we soon began looking forward to seeing how high the article mgiht be. Avon House proved very interesting also. It was made in the style of the original house, but was furnished with modern conveniences. A lady took our party through anothelt house which was filled with copies of orig- inal antiques, and which was decorated in the same style. It was interesting to notice the different ways in which the people of the different periods decorated their Walls. At about eleven o'clock we left Simp- son's and went to Eaton's where we exam- ined a few of the hats until about a quarter to twelve. I noticed that the majority of the hats were dark brown or green, the brown ones in particular being trimmed with large feathers, which re- minded our whole party of the hats the women of fifty years ago used to wear. We had our dinner in the Georgian Room and our group were all ready for it. I did not know that one could get so tired by just looking around, so we certainly were ready for a rest and some refresh- ments. We all felt much better, after our enjoyable dinner, and ready to be moving. The whole party looked through Eaton's once more, examining the way the leather and ribbon flowers were made, getting new ideas for Christmas gifts, and looking at the tooled leather work. We then went through Woolworth's, as it is in the same block, before going up to Eaton's new store. The thing we took the most interest in he1'e Was the Thrift 112 1
