SCHOOL CONCERT On Thursday evening. March 3rd, the Windsor-Walkerville Technical School was the scene of great excite¬ ment and interest. The students were holding their annual school concert. This year’s affair surpassed all previous efforts on the part of the staff and school. The entertainment was one of which Mr. Lowe and his able staff may well be proud. The school orchestra led by Mr. Bennett supplied music throughout the even¬ ing. accompanying the many beau¬ tiful dances and drills. The pro¬ gram opened with the stately minuet followed by a well-trained club drill and the sailor’s hornpipe. Then came a very clever little play entitled “Suppressed Desires,” a take-off on the present day fan¬ tastic psycho-analysis. The play showed what a dramatic teacher could do with raw material. The athletic tableaux and tumb¬ ling acts were quite professional. One of the most interesting parts of the program was the moving pic¬ ture play depicting the many and varied school activities. It was shown that a boy can obtain an ex¬ cellent training in almost any mechanical line he chooses to pur¬ sue, building, electric work, foundry work, making casts, sheet metal and other lines too numerous to mention. A girl can also obtain a practical education in home-making, cooking, dressmaking or millinery. If either wishes, he or she may take up a business course and obtain a thorough training to enter the busi¬ ness world. The concert ended with a beautiful pageant. The pageant depicted a field of wheat with busy workers. The workers disappear and “young Canada” comes on the scene. He lies down and sleeps un¬ aware of the untold wealth that his country has in store for him. Soon a fairy comes in and brings on one by one fair maidens rep¬ resenting the nine provinces, each bearing a shield. Then come young men bearing the products of the mine, the forest, the sea and the factory. The buglers blow their bugles and “Young Canada” awakes and there seated on a throne amid a blaze of beautiful lights is “Miss Canada.” All sing “O Canada” and the national anthem and the tableau i s held. During the intermission, girls dressed in pretty costumes sold the kind of candy that the girls of the cookery classe know how to make. The costumes for the dances, drills, play and pageant were de¬ signed and made by the girls in the Household Arts department. The lighting for the various numbers was carried out by the electrical depart¬ ment of the school. 32

THE TECH ORCHESTRA I , Bennett J. K«»s e S. .Marks Lorna Batzokl Olivo Shurak Absent — C. Court nay. E. Laforet .1. J. Wood E. Fortin SCHOOL ORCHESTRA We have now had an orhestra for four years. Each year it has grown in size and increased in efficiency. The orchestra plays at all general functions and thus assists in mak¬ ing all such events a success. It is also educative and gives music stu¬ dents an opportunity to play good music under leadership. All people who play instruments should join the organization for the valuable training it gives as well as for the service they render the school. This year our orchestra consisted of pianist, four violinists, two cornet- ists and one saxophone. As many of the present orchestra are now in their final year, we will need several more willing recruits for next year’s work. We appeal to you to interest yourself in this phase of shool ac¬ tivities.
