That “something” is the Tech. United. It has taken a grip on the students so that it has become the central interest of the school. It is here that we come to know each other. In the form pro¬ gramme, each student appears in some activity before the whole school. What a wealth of talent is displayed! What delightful friends we ' ve made! And all through the Tech. United. The programs are held in the form of contest. Two beautiful sil¬ ver cups, one for Senior and one for Junior forms have been presented by the Board of Education and the competition for these has been very keen.

28 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book EXCHANGES No school magazine is complete without its Exchange Department, and this is especially true of a young publication like ours. Not only does it give inexperienced Editors the benefit of adequate and kindly criticism, but it develops a spirit of friendly intercourse among widely separated schools, and in no way can friendships be more firmly cemented than by the interchange of new ideas. “The Tech Annual,” Vancouver Technical School. An excellent magazine which gives us many typical bits of local colour, fascinating to Eastern eyes. Your “Thunder Bird” cover was unique and artistic. “The Tek”—Hamilton Technical Institute. You have fine material, well- arranged. We enjoyed it all (es¬ pecially the cartoons) so much that we are looking forward to your next number. “The Grumbler”—A live maga¬ zine, but we would like to see a table of contents added. “The Times”—Kingtson Collegiate Institute. An interesting paper which shows much good work. We think that more cartoons would improve it. “The Collegian”—St. Thomas Col¬ legiate Institute. Yours is a very likeable publica¬ tion. Your exchange column is es¬ pecially novel. Could you make its headings more definite? “The Collegiate”—Sarnia Collegiate Institute and Technical school. Congratulations! You have a splendid magazine, clever, well- balanced and well-arranged. -o- THEY MAKE US LAUGH Is Sue married? No, is oo? —Kingston “Times.” Waiter, Do you serve fish? Yes, sir. we cater to everyone. The Tech. Annual, Vanvouvei. B—Say, did you know they didn’t play cards in Noah’s Ark? A—Why? B—The elephants sat on the deck. St. Thomas “Collegian.” Anderson—I want a hat. Clerk—Fedora. Anderson—No, for myself. Hamilton ”Tek.” Whose that fishy looking guy? Why he’s the best swimmer in Hamil¬ ton. Hamilton “Tek.” “Send money immediately. I’m broke,” Jerry wired home. ”So’s your old man,’ ’was the reply. Teacher—Kerr, why are you not writ¬ ing? John—I ain’t got no pen. Teacher—Where’s your grammar?

At the time of going to press the contest had not been completed, as three forms, T3A., C3B.. and C. Special had yet to present programs. C3A.—This form presented a very delightful concert, consisting of the Quarrel scene from “Julius Caesar” and a comical skit entitled “The Spinster’s Convention.” T4.—Offered a scene from the “Tempest” that showed much talent on the part of the performers. This was followed by a skit called “Thir¬ teen Seconds to Go” which was much enjoyed by the audience. C3C.—Entertained us with a de¬ bate on the subject “Resolved, that Capital Punishment should be abolished in Canada.” The audience was then entertained by a comedy entitled “The Man Who Had to Hang. This received much ap¬ plause. Junior Contest The winners of the Junior cup was Form T2B. This form presented a scene from “Twelfth Night” in a very dramatic manner and also en¬ tertained us with an athletic demon¬ stration and a comical Mock Trial. Form C2C. was a close contestant for the honors of first place, and was followed by C1B. winning third position. Other forms presenting programs were C2A. and C2B. Miss Donaldson, Miss Cragg and Mr. Bennett were the Junior judges. -o- DEBATING AND ORATORICAL CONTESTS Development of public speaking in the oratorical and debating con¬ tests in the Technical School during the last term has been of interest to the whole school. so
