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.

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! You ' ll hear the teachers say.

Whittle and Bate are ready speakers Ever ready to spread the days’ news To Everitt, Lucier and Blackburn. Other listeners are not far and few, French, Turner, James and Ralph Holcombe Alwa ys comply with the teachers’ request, And ‘•Dave” Cockell our star at ice hockey, Upholds our fame in the puck cotUest, In our classroom we have a wee Scotchman, You can tell him by his bushy red hair, And like Gibb, Byrnes, and Forostain, His complexion is sometimes, medium, sometimes fair. There are others for whom, if space were allotted. Pen and words could recall to you their names, Amongs’t these we will mention “Dick” McLaren, Whose red sweater reminds us of autumn flames, McNaughton is our champion loud speaker When station Gibb is not on the air, Gilbert Illsley is our poultry fancier, Vogan and Langlois our, humorous pair.

I his is a class of lively boys, none specially talented perhaps, but all anxious to become qualified as busi¬ ness men of the future. Our class is represented by more nationalities, probably, than any other class in our school. V e have not many representa¬ tives on the various athletic teams but our class is always ready to back and cheer those athletes who rep¬ resent dear old Tech. Boys from Europe, Africa, Asia. Lads from Australia and Poly¬ nesia, All study together happy as can he In good old Tech C1C. ' -o- TIC.

A Better Job Than Mine There’s a picture in the papers You can see it any day, What a lesson it can teach us If we look at it this way; Be satisfied with what you have. Don’t mope around and whine, And say that any kind of job Is a better one than mine. Cranking a Ford I bought a dinky little car, Uftli my money from the hank, Ihe darned thing ran to beat the band, But she s hard as nails to crank, I took one merry little whirl, And she whirled without a flaw. Next time round the darn thing slipped Aivl soaked me in the jaw -O ClE. Commercial IE. has been success¬ ful in their quest of first form cham¬ pionship in basketball.
