And, hiding none, is not afraid to trace, My faults, my smallest spot within, Who friendly warns, reproves me if I sin, Although it seems, not, he is my friend. By MARTHA TACON. CLASS NEWS—T3B. An odd collection of fellows is T3B. In that class you will find orators, such as Renaud. and musi¬ cians, such as Courtney. Taken in¬ dividually T3IL is punk but to¬ gether the can make a lot of noise and on the whole they are a nice Lunch of fellows. Famous Sayings by Famous Teachers Where is Campbell? Boys, this work means your diploma. Pass out quietly. Here all afternoon. I don’t care a continental. Introduce a romantic element if you wish. Underline the following. - 0 - Overheard in the Foundry Teacher—Hurry up and shovel sand Overton. Overton — I ain’t feeling well. Mr. Heard. I’m trembling all over. Teacher — Lend a hand with the sieve then. ♦ ♦ Washington — vs, sir. 1 spent a night in that haunted house. ( )yerton — What hapi ened. Washington — Around midnight a ghost came out of the wall as if nothing was there. Overton—What did you do. Washington—1 went out the other side the same way. T3B. SAYS VYe don’t like to brag about our¬ selves as self-praising is no recom¬ mendation but we must admit as no one will admit for us, we have got a pretty good form. Two of the best hockey players are Pashak and Anderson. Basketball players are Fisher and Hellewell. Shieks are Forton and Campbell. An actor is Sam. Marks, and as a musician Courtney and Laforet take the cake. A hot stepper is Washington and Overton is some acrobat. You sec we have a pretty good form. -o- T3B. There is: Anderson better known as “Gump” ho with his trusty hockey stick. Sure makes the old puck hump! And Black more, or rather Wally, Where mien and face is always jolly. I hen Briscoe who ' s an awful pest But not any more than all the rest. Or Courtney sometimes known as Carl.

Perpetrated by CHARLES FISHER. -o- THE SENIORS April, May and June and then the finals! Three months of school work before, for the majority of us, we will be writing the last examina¬ tions of our school life. It hardly seems possible that three years have passed since we were thinking the same thoughts, worrying over the same subject, as our Entrance Ex¬ aminations loomed large on the horizon. But we passed them, and the regrets over leaving our schools and friendly teachers, the thoughts of having to start school over, as it were, among strangers were soon forgotten. In the same way, many are sorry their school life is over. Even the most anxious to get out of school, loudly proclaiming, “I never liked school anyway,” will, in their hearts feel a few pangs of longing for “good old Tech ' when school days are over. Graduation is the end of a chap¬ ter of our lives and before us lies a new one. Let us, by earnest en¬ deavour during these last few months, prepare for a good com¬ mencement of our next chapter, “Working Days.” Form III. Editor, MARY DesROSIERS—C3B. -o- C3A.—FORM NEWS C3A. is without doubt a very popular form. It has taken part in the many activities of the school. It is represented in the famous Tech United by Gladys Kerr, vice-presi¬ dent and Lorna Batzold, secretary; in the Girls’ Athletic Club by Irene Downy, vice-president, and Helen Garfat. secreta ry; Elizabeth Hall, captain of the senior basketball team belongs to C3A. and is sup¬ ported by Helen Garfat of that form. In the annual school concerts several students from C3A. participated. Lorna Batzold played an important part in the play given under the direction of Mr. Voaden. Leta Knight, Helen Drone, Hilda Wood- all and Dorothy Kellett took part in the club swinging. So you see that C3A. is a real live form. -o- CAN YOU IMGAINE Helen G.—Crying. lone—Being serious throughout the whole day. Elizabeth—Sitting perfectly still for five minutes. Nellie—On the midget team. Violet—Becoming very talkative. Helen D.—Getting 10 in Eco¬ nomics. Ethel Caughill—Not smiling at jthe teachers. -o- C3A. IN THE MOVIES Ah, to go back to olden days, The days of love and chivalry, When men were men and fancy roamed Gay and Free. I’d be a Knight of the highest rank, Say, chief of all the Gordon clan. I ' d ride the hills and I’d be to the poor Sir Galahad again. My stately form would grace the Hall, Of every noted manor there. And mine the sigh and the downcast eye From the ladies fair. The ministrel boy who sings of his home,

54 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book You should hear him make his saxaphone snarl. And Washington our Black Bottom Shiek Who invents a brand new step each week. Gclinas is a hoy so brave! Won’t be misled!—he needs a shave! Then Laforet we call him Rick, Who plays mean music with fiddle and stick. And Scotty Holt, Who frisks round like a new born colt. And Hadley (short tor Les) As a mathematician he’s not a success. Then Baillargeon, a pupil new Who spent last year at Ottawa U. There’s Irwin and Crocker who’re lots of sand They are (so they say) the whole bugle band. There’s Kellett and Pashak, Steven and Luke Who arc (you well know) far past all rebuke! Oh, I nearly forgot, my goodness me, Poor Latimer—we call him “pce-wee. And Overton—or Art rii gymnastics is awfully smart. There’s Maxwellton Pullen as he ' s com¬ monly known But Maxwellton (says Max) sure makes him groan. There is Samuel Marks Who spen last winter in Florida parks. And by heck! there is Specht And Libby the Hick And “Our Casey Jones” they are all pretty slick! There’s Kellett, Eklund and Weesc, The latter’s known as Geese. My I feel so bereft There are two fellows left. They are athletes fine? On the track they do shine. They are Helliwell and me We’re the last of our form—T3B. LESLIE CAMPBELL. -o- C3B.—SPORT NEWS The boys of 3B. are indulging in heavy sports lately; and if this un¬ common practice does not cease some fellows that I know are going to be wrecks physically. Harmon ' is practicing for the Tiddley-Wink championship. The finals will be played off next week with Prevo. He says that to keep in training is hard work. Raisbeck was also a close contender for the form champonship. Theobald excels in basketball especially in putting in the foul shots he gets off the threatened referee (usually Fred¬ ericks). St. Louis plays indoor baseball and pitches a mean hand at baseball. Art Thompson—yes that’s the one that wore the red sweat shirt with “ART” 13, on the back, of course you will suspect him of playing basketball, but keep on suspecting. He is expert at the strenuous game of Ping-Pong, plays exceedingly well at “Button, button, Who‘s got the button.” The only person who ever succeeded in beat¬ ing him was Lord and he stuffed a similar button up his sleeve and hunted for an hour for it. Of course he fooled Inglis because Inglis had forgotten where he had hid the but¬ ton. Banwell plays push-ball fairly well but as the ball will not stand the strain of Banwell’s great strong arms, we can only play two hours at a time. Needless to say Ban well’s face gets very red when he exerts himself and when we get to the room all the girls think he is blushing at them. This starts a very vigorous kicking on the part of Banwell to get the mud off his shoes. hugh McDonald—C3B. - 0 - COMMERCIAL 3C. The R dio Form Commercial 3C., consisting entire¬ ly of girls, is one of the brightest classes of 1 927. We possess all kinds of talent in our form and we take part in everything that conies along. We have won a banner for secur¬ ing a one hundred per cent, mem¬ bership in the Tech. United and we are now doing our best to win the shield which is to be given to the form winning the debating contest. We have already been victorious in two debates and who can tell but . that we shall come off in the final debate with the honours also? I am sure that everyone will agree with me when I say that our class concert which we presented on Feb. 17 was a huge success. We received many compliments in regard to our presentation and feel justified in thinking that we are dangerous rivals for the handsome cup which is to be presented at a future date to the class whose concert or enter¬ tainment is considered the best.
