58 The VVindsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book tion among the English teachers. We believe, “The Record Breaker” to be the best paper in the school. That at least, is a feather in the cap of the staff of the paper, who are Jimmy Duffy, the chief editor, and his reporters, Joe and Abe Morrison, for the boys, and Norma Gledhill, and Annie Littler for the girls. The paper is read in English class every Friday morning, jokes ad¬ venture stories, poems and editorials form the chief topics of the paper. -o- Class Yell Who are! Who are! Who are we! C2! C2! C2E! -o- THE FIRST YEAR All those who are coming to Tech¬ nical School for the first year find it a novelty. In the holidays, when asked, “Now you have passed your examinations, where are you go¬ ing?”, you replied, “I’m going to the Windsor-Walkerville Technical School, of course.” Then, hands went up and astonished voices ex¬ claimed : “My dear child, don’t go there, the work is so hard.” Is this all true? Of course not. Work at Tech is not hard, for when you passed your entrance examina¬ tions you prepared for hard work. The work is not much different from that of the public school, but there is more of it, and it is of a greater variety. Of course, you have your specialities, stenography and typing, in the commercial courses and home nursing, cooking and dressmaking in the Technical course. Do we like Tech? To use slang, “You bet.” In conclusion, I must say that Tech is a school of which we are proud, a school which is a credit to all. We feel a thrill of pride when we take visitors to our concerts and games and hear them say: “What a beautiful school, I should think you are proud to come here.” Are we? We are! MARGERY PONTON—Cl D. CLASS RECORD OF PREVO IB. By Gordon Strevett. Although the Prevo. classes are the juniors of the school, that does not mean in any way that the Prevo. 1 pupils are having an easy time, in comparison with the work of the higher classes. Although several new pupils have come since the beginning of the term, the class has much good progress. Besides watching all other “P’s and Q’s” in school, this class has made a fine record for regularity and punctuality. Even though they put school work- first, the boys show no lack of in¬ terest in sports. The boys make good use of their time in the gym., where they are instructed in mat work, muscle making exercises and basketball. Every pupil in Prevo. IB. thinks himself very lucky to be able to at¬ tend such a fine, up-to-date school as the Windsor - Walkervillc Tech¬ nical School. -o- TlA. T1A. has the distinction of num¬ bering among its members three very studious boys. They get one hundred in nearly everything and besides that, one of them is a hockey hero. W ' e feel that the virtues of these three will ensure the salva¬ tion of TlA. Things We Like Best Basket Ball. Science. M achine Shop. Tech United Programmes. » -o- CIA. CIA. has contributed many stories and poems for the year book. May¬ be some will be printed. DAISY CURTIS—CIA. There is a form in Tech By the name of CIA. It’s mighty good, by heck!

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.

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.

The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 59 The Junior Oratorical honours were won by CIA. Eight girls en¬ tered to make sure that the honours fell to us. They were: Mary Berby- nuk, Iva Smith, Ivy Beckett, Olive Shurak, Anna Warsh, Dorothy Enick, Gladys McIntyre, Daisy Curtis. We are proud not only to have won the inter-form debating cup but to have taken second and third places as well. The following were the winners: Mary Barbynuk who spoke on “Ontario’s Mineral Wealth.” It was said that the twinkle in her eye, her language, and platform appearance helped her. Iva Smith, whose speech was very well prepared, described “Pioneer Life in Canada.” Ivy Beckett made a stirring pat¬ riotic address on “The Spirit of Canada.” ———o- THE TURN OF THE TIED Judy had a little bear Who surely was a bother For when she let him go outside, He almost ate her father. She could not let him loose at all, Or trouble he would make, So when the summer turned to fall, She tied him to a stake. The rope it was not very long. The space was none too wide, But as he walked around he made The turning of the tied. IVA SMITH—CIA. - 0 - ClB. A Tech United programme was given by the girls of ClB. on Feb. 10, 1927, which proved to be a suc¬ cess. The play was entitled “The Knave of Hearts.” Several other numbers were given such as danc¬ ing and class songs. This being the first, first form programme we re¬ ceived very hearty applause. Our form basketball team has de¬ feated several forms. ALICE NEILL. -o- TIB.
