S - P - O - R - T - S • HOCKEY Canada’s great winter sport was first played by the Windsor-Walker- ville Technical School in January, 1924. During that winter and in 1925 we performed in the Junior W.O.S.S.A. series, while the season of 1926 saw us step up into Senior W.O.S.S.A. competition. The 1927 season finds us back once more ii the Junior W.O.S.S.A. series, where it would seem that we rightfully belong. After three lean years of unsuccessful endeavour vve have, it is hoped, passed the turn in the road. This winter’s team has acquitted itself most creditably. Several exhibition games have been won, but more im¬ portant, four W.O.S.S.A. games have been played and won. In our own group Windsor Collegiate In¬ stitute was defeated by a score of 7-1 and Walkerille by 13-0. Then came the semi-finals against the Watford High School. The first game was played in Watford on Feb. 8th and was won by Tech, 4-2. In the return game here on Feb 14th, Tech, won even more decisively, the score this time being 8-1. The team representing our school qualified for the finals. Our opponents were the strong Stratford Collegiate Institute, last year’s Champions and though we were able to hold Stratford to a 1-1 game on Windsor ice we could not overcome their three-point lead se¬ cured in the game at Stratford where the score was 5-2. 35

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.

Front—I awretlC6 Maisonville, Ken Gillette, Vernon Vie. BOYS’ BASKETBALL The 1926-27 boys’ basketball team lived up to expetations and proved to be the best team ever turned out by this institution. In King; and Mc¬ Arthur the school had two of the best guards in the group. Its for¬ ward line composed of J. Goldman, Gillette and Maisonville proved ex¬ ceptionally good. Its reserves, L. ; Goldman, Vie, Blackton, Bullard and Hull helped the team in its quest for a group title. Coach F. McGrath was helped by Cap. Don King, to guide the des¬ tinies of the teams. The team played a total of eleven games, winning seven of these. SOCCER Tech enters a Soccer Team each year in the Senior WOSSA contest. We have not met with signal suc¬ cess in this sport up to the present but we have at least done very creditably, having been opposed for the past two years to the well-or¬ ganized Walkerville WOSSA cham¬ pionship team. Soccer in the past has not interested Windsor greatly, but is gradually gaining consider¬ able favor. This is so in the school, and each year, an increasing num¬ ber are entering the soccer field. Soccer is an excellent game for training in team work and in sports¬ manship, and we expect to see it develop much in the near future. i ✓ 36
