CADET CORPS Windsor - Walkerille Technical School Cadet Corps No. 1112 was organized originally in the fall of 1923 when the Tech was first opened. The third annual inspection took place on June 1, 1926, Lieut. Col. Gillespie, L.C.O., M.D. No. 1, being the inspecting officer. After the ' Corps received the In¬ specting Officer in due ceremonial form the march past was ordered. Then an inspection of the various company, platoon and section move¬ ments were made as well as that of the work of signallers, stretcher hearers and hand. An interesting feature of the after¬ noon’s ceremonial was the reception of the Inspecting Officers with the Battalion drawn up in Review Or¬ der. This Corps was the first to perform this movement in the Bor¬ der Cities. It was exceedingly well done. Col. Gillespie expressed him¬ self as very well pleased with the showing of the Corps and compli¬ mented Cadet officers and instruc¬ tors on their work. Throughout the year instruction was given in Signalling, First Aid and Shooting as well as the usual drill movements. The Bugle Band began practice in March under Ser¬ geant Deneau and on Inspection ac¬ quitted themselves very creditably indeed.

Vivian Howe of ClI). won the Junior Girls’ Interscholastic Championship, and the excellent in¬ dividual work of each member of the team gave us a most satisfactory score. A new event, the Running High Jump was introduced this year, and although we did not secure a place in the Senior competition, in the Junior we won both first and third. -o- RUGBY Rugby is essentially a game of contact and of fierce contest, where timidity has no place. At the same time the demand for fair play and self control is ever present and under very trying circumstances. Rugby is not only a game, it is an education. John Parent was selected to cap¬ tain the team by popular vote. By his teeth-gritting attacks and stone wall defense “Beanie” proved an exemplary leader. The attack was planned and many times executed by J. Goldman as (|uarter. Goldie was a glutton for punishment. • In the position of flying wing Moore delivered all the action that position called for. When “Rosie” was not giving interference he was busily breaking up the other teams’ plays before they were under way The wing positions demanding such a high degree of agility, speed and open field tackling were well taken care of by Simpson. Langlois and J. Mason. The back bone of a team, the line whose work is never spectacular but • nevertheless greatly appreciated when resisting one of those “We want a touch down” appeals, was composed of Tobin. Zade, Campbell. Laforet and Morneau with Robert¬ son at centre. The action pitures show Robertson demonstrating that phrase. “They shall not pass.” The handling of punts by our safety backs, Payne, Anderson and Windecker stands out as a decided credit to those players. 38

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Girls’ basketball this year at Tech has suffered greatly due to the lack of seasoned material for the first team. At the beginning of the year only one member who had formerly played on a first team, and only two members who had played on seond teams, were attending school. With several of these girls com-, ing back next autumn we hope to have a team which will stand up well in the W.O.S.S.A. games. We also hope they will always remember the ex ample of good sportsmanship they have followed this year. -o- The Midget Girls’ Basketball Team is composed of girls under five feet in height and 102 lbs. in weight. During the year seveYi scheduled games were played with teams from : The Windsor Collegiate Institute. The Wyandotte Branch of the Windsor Collegiate. The Walkerville Collegiate. The General Byng School, Sand¬ wich. Out of the seven games, the Tech team won three and lost four. - o -— GIRLS’ ATHLETICS In the gymnasium folk dancing, Indian clubs, dumb-bells, ands. marching, apparatus work, and group games are among the ac¬ tivities of each class. Interform games are stressed, especially those games which require a number of girls and therefore develop team work. Every girl is given an oppor- 40
