The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Hook 5f THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE MODERN WORLD Though you’ve travelled all the world around, And paced many a foreign deck, If you chance to come to Windsor, Don’t fail to visit “Tech . You may have seen the Pyramids, And such wonders,—old and grand, You may have seen green mountains, And many a golden strand. Hut when coming to the Border, As o’er the world you’re fleeing. If you leave our school unvisited. You’ve missed a sight worth seeing. You sure can’t miss the dear old place, With its Towers, tall and stately; And if you’d just conic and sec us, We ' d appreciate it greatly. Step in, just as you’re passing by, Tor we’ll always he the same, We don’t practice good behaviour, Just for visitors of fame. You may have seen famous places. Which are known to everyone, But for something really up-to-date. It’s to ‘Tech you need to come. It’s a place filled with school spirit, So there is no lack of fun, And we ' re always glad to see you, And make you feel at home. It it be Thursday afternoon, We’re favoured with your call. Our well-known “Tech United’, Will entertain you all. W hen the silver notes of our orchestra, Come floating o’er the air, You’ll decide that great musicians, With our players can’t compare. Then visit all the classrooms. See the pupils studying there, And then the large and noisy shops, Where the boys all work with care. Please don’t forget the Household Arts, The French and Art room too. I he gymnasium and the science room, Before your visit ' s through. After lunch in our Model Suite, And a rest in our library, 1 think you will be satisfied. To pleasantly agree That ‘Tech’ is one of the greatest sights, That ever you could see. And then perhaps, you’ll understand, Why we all proudly say, That ' Tech’ is the greatest wonder Of this great world to-day. ANNA McKENNA—C2B. WHO ARE THESE? C2B. One is worrying about a man, But women have since the world began. All will teach their children well. By telling them of William Tell. Some will sit at night and wait, For husbands who are always late. Our maid so tiny, so clever and free, Will marry a man who is noble to see. The girl whose hair is so curly of late. Will be twenty-five ere she knews her fate. One so bright and quiet at day, Will marry a farmer and help to make hay. Our dancer so tall and full of life, Will make her husband a jolly wife. Our angel with disposition so rare, Will surely marry a millionaire. None so frivolous and free, we infer, W ill marry the first who proposes to her. The C2B. Fortune Teller. -O- “TECH UNITED” I he girls of C2B. had the honour of presenting the first Tech United” programme after Christmas. The programme consisted of plays, drills, songs and dances. The whole of C2B. took part in the entertainment. The programme consisted of a Shakespearian scene, a recitation, a Spanish dance, a comic playlet and a chorus. GRACE BECKETT—C2R. -o- FRIVOLOUS FROLICS OF T2B. You probably all witnessed the absolutely splendid performance submitted by T2B. in one of the suc¬ cessive entertainments rendered by each of the forms under the “Tech United Banner.” We presented a scene from Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” Whether Sir Toby’s legs were shaking as the results of stage fright or whether it was part of the acting is unknown. Andrew, quite naturally added a few steps to the modern popular “Charleston.” The gymnastics including tumbling and rolling showed off the real business¬ like style of our fellows. The con-

The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 55 Then too, we excel in all of our studies, arc good cooks, and know all the arts of dressmaking and mil¬ linery. But you must not think that we do nothing but work and study. Indeed, we have pleasure and fun galore and anyone who does not think this is so, is invited to call around some day when she is feel¬ ing blue, and we assure you that when they leave this jolly form, they will agree with us when we say that our work is combined with pleasure. We possess some model steno¬ graphers and typists and I think that when it is time for us to leave good old Tech., the pupils of C3C. will have no difficulty in securing suit¬ able positions. Then also, I think our form paper “The Broadcaster” is worthy of mention. This paper is made up of original writings contributed by the pupils. These writings consist of bits of humour, editorials, etc. and form a very interesting recreation. “The Broadcaster” has progressed rapidly under our able editor, Pearl Langlois. From what 1 have said you may readily guess that ours is a model form, and I believe that the C3C. of this year will be long remembered in after years, and that the pupils who come after us will do their best to live up to the reputation which we have established in our school. MYRL MEDLAND—C3C. -o- “INTERMEDIATES” The second formers are really the intermediates of the school. They come back from the summer holi¬ days after their first year with the feeling that they are old acquain¬ tances ' of the school with none of that uncertain feeling about hard work and the teachers that made them a little fearful when they were freshies. They have the feeling that they know the teachers and the teachers know them. Those who graduate from first to second year re-enter the school with ambition to accomplish greater things in class and in sports and other school ac¬ tivities and there arc many new re¬ cruits from the second forms. There is also much friendly rivalry among the second year forms in classwork as well as in sports. These forms have a chance to show their superiority over one another in interform competitions such as basketball and the form programs put on under the auspices of the “Tech United.’ The second year is to most pupils the most interesting year in their school career. This is so because it is in most cases the second year in which the pupil first takes a part in the leading school activities, es¬ pecially sports. Altogether the second year is a year in which the pupil can accomplish great things for himself and for the school. Form II. Editor, FRANK HULL—T2B. -o- C2A. C2A. is rich in scholastic abilities. We have given ample proof of this. It was C2A. girl won the Junior ()ratorical Contest, speaking upon the subject “Greece, Ancient and Modern.” Yet not only are we rich in orators but display literary, artis¬ tic and dramatic talent. Our form papers, we are told, takes first place in the second form class papers for its choice news, stories, poems and jokes and last but not least, its cleverly painted covers. The Tech United may always be sure of finding warm supporters in C2A. Early in the school year we put on our program consisting of an act from “Twelfth Night,” two comedies, namely, “Poor Pa” and “School Days,” and class choruses. It proved to be a success. There is no doubt that C2A. is a very important form and we hope that in years to come some of its members will inscribe their names upon the rolls of honour and fame for the sake of the Windsor-Walker¬ ville Technical School.

The Wincisor-Walkervilie Technical School Vear Book 57 eluding item on this excellent pro¬ gramme was a dramatic comedy written and produced by our popular room master. This finishing- item was a rollicking success. -o- THEY” SAY— ‘‘You fellows will go out on your ear quicker than you came in.” “And let me tell you this.” etc. “For homework, take the next three sections.” “Why, I wouldn’t even play marbles with you.” You fellows are only kidding yourselves-” “So it was you eh, Fleming? Well come along with me.” This class is just a little bit too joyful this afternoon.” -o- OUR FIRST APPEARANCE IN THE MOVIES Form C2C. When the picture of the Windsor- Walkerville Technical School was flashed on the screen at the Capitol Theatre, there was a hush in the show; heads were bobbing up and down to see who was in it. As it happened the CID. Form of 1920 was the only Commercial Form to be shown. Over half of the girls of this form are now in C2C. The first girl noticed was Olive Norwood. She looked somewhat like Mary Pickford. Although the picture could be plainly seen every face could not be distinguished in the few second that the scene was flashed on. 1 am sure all the girls of CID. of last year feel highly honored to have made their first appearance in the movies. HELEN EDDIE. -o- SCHOOL BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS The C2C. Basketball team after the championship for the first and second year forms, played off against the third form and won the school championship. THE FORM TRACK TEAM Form C2C. C2C. boasts of a track team that excels any in the school. This team is composed of five girls: Kathleen Slowgrove. Cora Shipman. Muriel Smith. Frances St. Amour and Jewel Delong. On our own School Field Day these girls were able to collect 2d points and on the Interscholastic Field Day captured three first prizes for Tech. Kathleen Slowgrove won the senior baseball throw. Cora Shipman broke her previous record by win¬ ning the junior shot putt, and Muriel Smith won the junior high jump. This event was placed on the track program for the first time this year and our girls seem to have broken the ice by winning in this event. KATHLEEN SLOWGROV E. -o- OUR CLASS—C2C. C2C—303. That’s us-That’s us. RAH, RAH, RAH. -o- C2D. C2D. is proud to be the home of Helen Ridley who on the inter¬ scholastic field day came first in the running broad jump, third in the 100-yard dash and was one of the runners in the victorious relay team. She is also a member of the school basket ball team. When we sought a name for our form paper, the unanimous choice fell on “The Good Form.” This monthly is edited by Vera Pepper and we are always pleased with what Vera presents. One of our number is developing into a colum¬ nist and we think her style re¬ sembles Edgar A. Guest. Where 2D. Shines 1. In leaving books in lockers and forgetting locker keys. 2.
