The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 61 WELL KNOWN TRUTHS A scholar may chose the rosy way. But here I set the rule. Did you ever see a loafer Who was an honour to his school? I’ve never known a teacher to praise The boy or girl who shirked, I’ve never seen a prize won, By one who has not worked. Let us speak of luck and fortune ' s smile But lessons must be learned, The sower only sows the seed, Wher’er the furrow is turned. Behind the graduating days, Which we all long to see, Are hours and hours of irksome toil hrc such delights can be. And on that day of all days, We see a large ‘ ' Class ' We know that some of the scholars Have been equal to the task.

Student—“So that some can work by the ‘job and others by the ‘hour ' -Q- THE ROLL OF HONOUR There is Doran, Monforton and Pullen, W hose rush seats are ever in demand, Peters, Harris and McLaren, Who have never received reprimand. 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. Here’s to the class of Technical IB.. May their monthly reports throughout cu • th 8 ' ear bhow definite progress toward a worthy goal, On the part, not of several alone but the class as a whole Let s perform our duties so that when June has come, W e may experience the satisfaction of another job well done. - O- C1C. 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.
