We belong to a type of school that is new, that is distinctively of this age and, therefore, shares in common with all pioneer movements those qualities that mark all ventures in new fields—vision, initiative, trial, daring, labour, even failure, that, failure that “falls to rise again” because of faith in the vision. Our Year Book is a record of our attempt along various lines and in many directions, to build up within our walls a type of school-life and of education that will meet the needs of the age in which we live. Those who come after will see clearly where we have failed and will profit there¬ by. They will also, we feel sure, realize that we strove earnestly to give ihem the fruits of our labour. “And yet the road is ours and never theirs, Is not one joy on us alone bestowed? For us the Master Joy, oh Pioneers, We shall not travel, but we make the road.” M. Belton. 12 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book (Die Srluml Jixt Prize Editorial—Maude Holding—C3A. As the flag is to a country, so the school pin is to a school. The flag is the symbol of all that is true and noble in a country, and so the pin stands for all that is noble in a school. The Windsor VValkerville Technical School has its school pin—just a little silver pin decorated in red and blue bearing the gilded letters W. W.T. But it is of more than sterling worth to Technical students. We wear it gladly, with befitting pride, for does it not stand for the devotion, loyalty, and interest we give to our school? When we wear it, we must do no action that may sully its reputa¬ tion or its honour. We must act like courageous and honourable Tech¬ nical students and thus show the true spirit of Our School. ' LIU ' Salute the HJaititnr I pity our poor Janitors, As all good people must; For every morn the good old souls Again return to dust. He’s not such a bad fellow, after all. He gets cross at us, of course, for dropping gum and chocolate bar wrappers on his cleanly-swept floors— but then we get cross at much more trifling things, sometimes. But he can take a joke, too. When we kid him along, he just laughs it off, or flings back an equally effective answer. His job isn’t what it’s cracked up to be, either. Think of polishing door-knobs and cleaning windows all day long, with a few half-mile trips pushing a broom around and carrying a pail of sawdust, while we sit and worry our brains as to how we can get out of doing some of the work that we know ought to be done. The janitor, however, is wiser than we are and goes to work with a will. After all, he is a pretty good sport—salute him, Tech! AUDREY GLENDENNINO, (Cnniu ' utinu of Smntharu $ rhonl fc tnrs On November 17th. the C. N. R. train headed for Toronto carried with it two passengers from the Windsor-Walkerville Technical School, who were destined to attend the Second Annual Convention of the Ont¬ ario Secondary School Editors. The convention is held yearly by the Sigma Delta Phi for the pur¬ pose of aiding School Editors with their publications. The convention was composed of lectures, field trips, and a banquet given by the Toronto downtown press. The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 13 Some of the lecturers were Mr. C. H. J. Snider, News Editor of the “Evening Telegram”; Mr. Gardiner, who gave an illustrated lecture on Photo Engraving used in different classes of publications; Miss Mona Clark, editor of the “Gossip”; Miss M. E. McPherson, editor of the “Busi¬ ness Workmen”; Gregory Clarke, of the “Star Weekly”; Hector Charles- worth. managing editor of the “Saturday Night”; John M. Elson, an author; Mark L. Haas, circulation editor of “American Boy; and Mr. J. P. S. Nethercott, of London, who led the discussion. The field trip was made to several different places, one of which was McLean’s Magazine. The banquet was held in Burwash Hall. Mr. Irwin, assistant editor of McLean’s Magazine, was the speaker of the evening. The convention closed at 12.30, Saturday, November 19th. The afternoon was free for those who so desired, but tickets for the Winter Fair were given to such persons as would like to go. -It is hard to say how much good the convention did us. It gave us a glimpse into the life of reporters, authors, editors and managers, and showed us some of the ins and outs of the newspaper and magazine world, some of the hardships and glories, and also gave us a good many hints as to what we were to be on our guard for and what was news and what was not. True, our magazine is just in its infancy, but with the excellent nourishment in the form of stories, essays, editorial, jokes, and continued help of the convention, etc., we know it will become a larger, finer and better magazine in the near future. KNIGHT The white-gloved hand? No, the detour sign is ours. As we have three different thirty-five minute periods for lunch, certain classes are in session while others are lunching. In order that those taking lessons do justice to their studies, stop or detour signs have been placed in the corridors. If, when strolling about the corridor at lunch period, you come upon a black standard about three feet high, with the word ‘closed printed in large white letters across its face, you will understand that, if you use that corridor, it will be at your own risk. For, who knows what official will come strolling d own the hall at the same time? And if there is a meeting, you will be very sorry you risked your life to go beyond the detour sign. No matter how far you may have to go to avoid the stop signs, it will prove better to obey rules and receive (Dll ' (Leant “We are with the team”. This is said with more enthusiasm when we have the feeling of victory. We may yell a little weakly when you are losing, but we are becoming better sports and outgrowing that. We do not yell faintly because we lose faith in you, or because 14 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book we think you are not doing your best. We know you are made of sterner stuff than that, for there is not one drop of shirker’s blood in you. We are quiet because we have not learned to take blows with a smile. When you are struck, we are struck. We are with you “to the last man”. Don’t think that losing one or two games is a defeat, but take the defeat as a spur for winning the next. You have a great family of supporters here. We just thought we’d let you know—though you should have known it all ' along—that the school is mighty strong for the team. GERTRUDE PERRY. (Ottr Hunk nf Historical illustrations It has been considered a part of the first form pupil’s history work in past years to bring in historical pictures. These pictures were put on the class bulletin board where all might see them and profit thereby. After they had served their purpose they were thrown away. This year the pupils are doing the same as pupils of former years. However, the best pictures are not thrown away, but are kept. Mr. Wood, the history teacher in the Technical Department, thought of the idea of keeping a permanent file of these pictures for the use of the present pupils and those of later years. The book is of the usual type used for such purposes. It is a large black book with loose pages. It has been divided into four different parts according to dates. The dates run from One Thousand to the present day. There are tags which tell where the pictures of each period begin. P e .teachers are receiving a great deal of material for this book. 1 he collection is valuable in more ways than one. It makes the history lesson much more interesting if you have brought in a picture illustrating it. Sometimes you make an imaginary picture of your history characters. The book corrects your wrong ideas and makes the characters of history seem more real to you. The collection will become more valuable every year because pic¬ tures are continually being added to it. As this year marks the beginning ot the collection, the first formers should try to set a record for bringing m illustrations which will never be surpassed in the book’s history. MARGARET McGUINNESS, C.l.A. Clip Jirturrs in tip Halls Our school is fortunate in having many pictures to decorate its rooms and corridors. In the library is a series depicting events in the War, presented by the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire when our school was first built. In the halls near the main entrance are three, York Cathedral, The Lion of Ldcerne, and the Winged Victory that The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 15 were donated by three chairmen of the Technical School Board, Mr. H. E. Guppy, Mr. Niel C. Ortved and Mr. Harry J. Mero. In the second floor corridor, are The Boyhood of Raleigh, a gift from Technical ‘4’ of 1924 and 1925, and The Fighting Temeraire that was presented by the Tech¬ nical forms of 1924 andl925. Third forms, attention! Let us follow the examples of T4 and, when we graduate, let us give old Tech, a picture to remember us by in years to come.

The Wimlsor-Walkerville Technical School rear Book AN ADVENTURE WITH A LION (Prize Story — Allan Muir, C2E) Some people doubt the truth of this story; they think it is the pro¬ duct of an elastic imagination. Per¬ haps it is, I leave it to you to judge. One day while hunting in the African jungle, I came upon the fresh spoor of a lion, a huge lion, judging by the size of his tracks. Unslinging my gun from my shoul¬ ders, I hurried after him. An hour later saw me struggling through the jungle after the elusive lion. Just as I was giving up hope, I stepped into a clearing: in front of me lay the lion eating his din¬ ner—an uncooked deer, by the way. He took no notice of me but went on eating with an air of, I ' ll attend to you later. I raised my gun, aimed, Dulled the trigger and nothing happened. The fact grad¬ ually penetrated my mind that I was standing with an empty gun in my hand and a ferocious lion in front of me. Deciding that dis¬ cretion was better than valour, I turned without bidding the lion goodbye. As I turned to go, I saw another lion advancing towards me. showing his teeth in a genial smile. There T stood, with a lion in front of me, another behind me and my heart in my boots. I look¬ ed to the heavens for help and saw an overhanging branch about three feet from the ground. I did not stop to think, I sprang, and just as I leaped, the lions followed suit. Being a wonderful athlete 1 got there first. As I climbed up the tree, I glanced down to see how the lions were getting on. Just as I had swung to safety, they had crashed together and being quarr¬ elsome brutes, they commenced lo fight. To make a long story short they killed each other. Immediat¬ ely when I saw that life was ex¬ tinct. I climbed down the tree and raced for camp. The fe ' lows at the camn insist¬ ed unon examining my head when I told mv story, and muttered sym¬ pathetically about the heat getting us sooner or later. I hope the reader is more broad-minded than they were. -o- COMRADES At the age of 17 life is big, and the greater hazards one takes, the larger it seems. At least it ap¬ peared as such to Bill Doan who a ' l The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 17 his life had been a harum-scarum He was one of the first to enlist at the outbreak of the War giving a wrong age so that he might fight for “King and Country”. Out in Flanders Fields, Doan found was no longer the play-time he had imagined. It was no long¬ er fighting with sword $ and toy pistols but with any s’aughteriig weapons that sc : ence could inven . ' 1 here were weary days and nights in trenches half-filled with mud and swarming with rats; days when they were lucky if they got canned soup, or bread and jam to eat. But nothing could daunt the spirit of Doan, not even those weary vigils in the trenches. After such night-mares, came fights with the Germans, and the War was a little nearer the end. Doan had become a favorite with the men, but the only friend he seriously cared for was Staden. One day Staden’s dog, Bud, had come into the trenches with a brok¬ en leg. Staden was too busy to at¬ tend to it, and with a tenderness he seldom displayed Doan had set the leg. A warm friendship had sprung up between the two men and the dog. With continual associ¬ ation, the two men’s friendship had deepened into love for each other. Two years of fighting had pass¬ ed by and neither of the two men .had received the slightest injury. Then one day retreating from a hot skirmish with the Germans, Doan found Staden no longer with his regiment. A curious pull came at Doan’s heart, and with the dog at his heels, he turned back to the battlefield. The field was covered with men of both sides, some dead, others dying. The dog, sensing the trouble, sniffed at the bodies, pass¬ ing from one to another. At length he halted at one and set up a mournful, howl. Doan knelt down, and to his joy found that Staden was still breathing. He pulled the emergency flask from his pocket and was applying it to Staden’s lips when a crumpled fig¬ ure to his right suddenly straight¬ ened itself, sat up, and with delib¬ erate aim fired at Doan’s breast. Then with a hoarse laugh it fell back. Doan feM over, but with a super-human effort clutched the dog around the neck and pointing in the direction from which he had come, said “Pull master back to British.” Whereupon, falling over on his side he died. The dog wagged its tail piteous¬ ly, licked Doan’s face, then because orders were orders, set his teeth in Staden’s coat, and began that long drag to the British trenches. When recovered from his wounds Staden with other men erected a small cross in Doan’s memory up¬ on which was inscribed. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend.” Maude Holding—C3A. -o • — “A STUDENT’S AUCTION By Angela Ouellette “Come on folks, buy this nice kett ' e. It’s the best article in the auction. How much am I bid? Thirty cents? Is that all? Well, I want more than that.” “Come on fo ' ks, another bid. What? Forty cents?

He could never resist the high-powered sales talk of men who wished to sell him stock in imaginary propositions. Consequently, numerous family quarrels resulted, in which the younger daughter Betty, usually took her father’s part against the others. Once Mr. Watson had made a fortunate investment in bonds, and he always used this as an argu¬ ment when his wife and Elsie, the elder daughter, tried to prevent him from investing in some new scheme. He had tried several dozen different stocks since his first lucky buy, and he had always been unfortunate enough to lose his money. No matter how Mrs. Watson and Elsie remonstrated with him, however, he was just as eager to throw away his money the next time. On the last occasion Mr. Watson had been given a gold opportunity , to buy Wildcat Special, which was the best get-rich-quick scheme he had ever discovered. Betty, who had more influence with her father than either her teister or her mother, tried to dissuade him, as she had done on former occasions, but he was determined. Now Mr. Watson was a firm be¬ liever in hunches, and Betty was, too. One evening, Mr. Watson an¬ nounced to his family that he had invested all his spare money in Wildcat Special. Betty worried a great deal over her father that night, and when she finally fell asleep, she had a dream, which she afterwards said must have been a hunch. She seemed to be standing on a deserted road, when suddenly she noticed two strange-looking fig¬ ures coming towards her. As they approached, she discovered that they were made entirely of paper, and they reminded her very much of some of the stock certificates which her father had at home. Each of the figures bore a pla¬ card, one reading “Wildcat Spec¬ ial and the other “Security Lim¬ ited.” As she watched Security Limited begun to dwindle away and finally disappeared altogeth- ed. Betty feared this paper giant, so turning around, she began to run away quickly. She stumbled and fell—then suddenly she was awake in bed, panting. Her dream troubled her greatly at first, and she thought about it a good deal. She told no one, but a plan had begun to form in her mind, and the more she thought of it, the more she liked the idea Mr. Watson had given his two daughters a very generous allow¬ ance and Betty had saved most of hers. Consequently, she had near¬ ly five hundred dollars to her credit in the bank. Finally, she determined to carry out her plan. She withdrew her money from the The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 19 bank and went to the family law¬ yer. She confided to him her plan,, and although he strongly ad¬ vised her against it, she remained firm. At length, he promised to invest her five hundred in the Sec¬ urity Limited, which was at that time selling at a very low figure. A few days later, Betty’s father told her that he had lost all his money in Wildcat Specials and was very near ruin. He expressed a wish that he had purchased Sec¬ urity Limited, for then he would have been very rich. She then had the pleasure of giving him her shares in Security Limited which she had been keeping hidden for this occasion. Together they told the rest of the family, and Betty was heartily praised although she gave all the credit to her hunch. Today, if you are a visitor to Mr. Watson’s house, and wish to start a discussion, you have only to ask any of them if dreams come true, or if they believe in hunches, for Mr. Watson has at last seen the error of his way and no longer gambles in stocks. EVELYN MASRDEN—C3B. -o- WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE LOW LOW Prize Essay, Hilda Haisman. — C3A The Great War was grim and an event of honor and terrible tragedy, but there were many humorous incidents to make life bearable. During the war we lived in the south of England, just 30 miles from London, and we were in much danger of the German air raids, which generally occurred every moonlit night, We always knew when there was going to be an air raid because all the lights were dimmed, and then we would wait and anxiously wonder what the outcome would be. First we would hear our own guns in the distance as the enemy machines came with¬ in their range. This dull boom¬ ing would become louder and louder like the approach of a mighty storm. Then we would hear the droning of the enemy planes followed by dull vibrat¬ ing thuds as they hurled forth their weapons of death and de¬ struction. By this time the planes were getting quite near and then pandemonium broke loose. All the guns which were stationed in our immediate vicinity came into act¬ ion, and with mighty roars, sent their red hot shells into the sky. By this time,. everyone who was abroad had hurriedly taken cover to avoid being hit by the frag¬ ments of bursting shells. Now and again a shrill whistling sound could be heard followed by a hiss¬ ing thud as an unexploded shell fell from the sky and buried it¬ self in the earth. One night, while my uncle was working in the Chatham Naval dockyard, the lights suddenly went out. Of course this was the signal to let the workmen know that Ger¬ man planes were approaching. My Uncle and his pals imme¬ diately groped round in the dark¬ ness to find a place of safety, and crawled under what by its dark outline, appeared to be a steel arm¬ our-plated turret. These gun tur¬ rets are used to cover the big guns on the battle-ships. Inside this structure it was pitch dark, and the men felt absolutely secure. They sat joking, and having a quiet smoke. “Well, Jim,” remark¬ ed one of the men, “I’m glad we’re not out in that racket. This is as safe as the Bank of England.” After the Germans had come and gone and the lights had come on again they crawled out from their retreat. To their surprise they found that they had been cowering under a large black can¬ vas awning, which would have hardly protected them from the fall of a common ordinary brick. As my Uncle was the one who had 20 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book led them to this flimsy protection he came in for a lot of chaff from his fellow workmen. But my most distinct remem¬ brance ot the war was of one dark night when we were in real fear for our lives because a zeppelin, which was making towards Lon¬ don, was reported to be right over¬ head. Our guns could do nothing because the Zeppelin was too high up. It was letting fall several bombs on the off chance that they might do some real damage, as there were no lights and they could see nothing. We were looking out of the window when suddenly we heard the scream of a falling shell. It fell in a garden right across the street from us, but luckily failed to explode. Then we heard the noise of aeroplanes but could not see what had happened because it was so dark. But then, before our eyes, a flash of flame showed in the sky, and like a pillar of fire, the burning Zeppelin crashed to earth. It appeared that two Eng¬ lish aeroplanes had climbed up above the Zeppelin and fired some incendiary bullets, which had the effect of making the Zeppelin burst into flame directly they touched it. Everyone rushed into the street, and we all gave a mighty cheer when we perceived the enemy hurling earthward in a mass of flame. -o—- A NORTH-WESTERN CANAD¬ IAN WINTER One morning in late November 1 awoke to see my room almost in darkness, dreary and cold. I pull¬ ed up my shade and looked out o ' ' ithe window. To my great sur¬ prise I saw that all the world which surrounded me, was one great big blanket of soft and fluffv white snow. It was beautiful. It made me feel almost like a little bunny in his home under the fallen poplar tree, which was just around the corner of the house. I thought of all the fun that we could have now that our long wished for win¬ ter had come. First of all. we would have the fun of cleaning the snow away from around the house, and best oi all. making a little skating rink in the garden for the kiddies. And will they not just adore the little slide we ll make them, or the won¬ derful little Eskimo fashion snow house ? Work before play is our North Western Motto. So we took our shovels and brooms, and walked away to the half mile limit and cleared the rink there. But what fun! Why even the little ones en¬ joyed it, because while we shovel¬ ed and swept we had our skates on. This made it possible for us to do two things at once. We attached to ourselves a pair of sleighs and gave the little ones all the rides they could stand during one day. In the afternoons of most days we would go skating. Friday was our special skating and toboggan¬ ing day. Snow-shoeing was regu¬ lar every Saturday evening. Father and all the grownups around our place would join in. We had the grandest time, while on these part¬ ies. At first just as we entered the hills and forest, we would see just the tiniest trace of a bobbing tail of a rabbit disappearing with his ears up and frightened as though the world were falling on him. A sleeping partridge in the evergreens was quite frequently seen. And on one occasion we were all nearly frightened to death by a hooting owl. When we returned home, although we were a bit tired and a little cold, we were none the worse for the walk, for weren’t we all rosy, smiling and laughing? Why. we were the happiest crowd of people you could ever see. Another of our wonderful sports was cutting down trees in the The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 21 +■ • woods. We would saw and saw, and saw, and have the most wonderful time. Hauling the wood home with the aid of one horse, knee deep in snow, was rather hard on us. Yes, we were girls. Of course we had to be dressed in breeches and wore three sweaters, two pairs of wool¬ len gloves, two woollen toques, a scarf, three pairs of woollen stock¬ ings and one pair of moccasins. This completed our costume. A frozen toe or tip of an ear was no¬ thing extraordinary since the tem¬ perature was thirty degrees below zero, sometimes forty or fifty. Now don’t you just adore that kind of sport? And it all happened in Manitoba, not so very far away. CASSIE LANCUCKI. -o- CHRISTMAS When I was a little girl, mother and father used to tell me stories that they had read. 1 remember very clearly the stories of how Christmas was held in foreign countries. The Italians celebrate with a dinner on Christmas eve. The whole family attend church at midnight, the children reciting poems before the image of Christ in a manger. In central Italy, they carry a large log of pine or fir into the house. The children are blindfolded and the log placed before them. The children tap the log with a stick and ask for gifts, which are re¬ vealed when the blindfold is remov¬ ed. On Christmas Day, cakes of all sizes are exchanged in place of Christmas cards. In Sweden, Christmas is celebra¬ ted with much sentiment. Months before the festival, invitations are issued to friends and preparations are made for the great day. On Christmas eve, the dinner is serv¬ ed in the kitchen in order that both family and servants may join in the good will and cheer. The tab¬ les are loaded with good things and even the farm animals receive a little of everything which the fam¬ ily has had. In Poland, a bundle of hay or straw representing the manger is used to decorate the homes. The family supper is the first celebrat¬ ion. The mistress of the house passes to each a wafer, and each person takes a bit of the other’s wafers, and greetings are exchan¬ ged. A supper of mushrooms, many kinds of fish, puddings and cake follows. Every person is expected to take a part of everything. After supper, the family gathers around the Christmas tree adorned with toys and lighted with candles, and they all sing carols. In the even¬ ing, the children go from house to house to sing songs. They are al¬ ways invited to enter and are of¬ fered good things to eat. In Serbia, they start celebrating when the sun sets on Christmas eve. It is believed that departed spirits wander forth on this night. To guide them in their walks tap¬ ers are lit and set in windows and doors of the houses. Inside the houses, the log ceremony is held. The log is cut up, and the largest one is put in the fireplace. Some¬ times a log sapling is cut for each member of the family. As the log burns, the mother with a sheaf of wheat in her hands and followed by her children, goes about the house, sprinkling the grain to re¬ present a year of plenty. CHRISSIE SMART—C2D. -o- SANITARIUM STAMPS Have you ever gone to the Sanit- orium at Sandwich? No! Then I shall describe it to you as regist¬ ered in my memory. Upon arriving there, we were much impressed by the long, low building that confronted us. It is in the shape of the letter “u” and is like a beautiful large cottage. 22 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book The matron came to us the mom¬ ent we entered and ushered us in¬ to the hall. She was a kindly, motherly-looking person, and I should not have minded going there in the least if she was to -look after me. She took us through the “fairy cottage as I at once christened it. It was actually like a doll’s house with small rooms furnished with chairs and tables. As it was Christmas time when we went, a large evergreen tree stood in the far corner. At the other side of the room was an imitation fire place. She lead us into the tiny hall decked out in its Christmas grand¬ eur, and into one of the bedrooms. Here was a sight to behold! There tucked up in bed the children or persons in that room could lie and listen to the radio—another thing that made the cottage fairy-like. Then came the next scene that is most prominent in my memory. The matron ushered us out on the large veranda, and there lay two or three little children with bright red, sparkling faces as they got the winter wind full on their beds, and I was horrified when I realized that they had but two blankets on them. On one of the beds, lay a little chap that made my heart ache to see. He was lying on his face in a wooden frame, and the tim¬ orous little smile he gave us went to my heart. The matron said that he had been lying like that for years. On his head he had a paper hat repre¬ senting Napoleon’s and I think that he deserves as much credit as did the hero Napoleon for lying like that year in and year out. I have told you this little tale so that you will realize where your money goes when you help sell sanitarium stamps and you will be a greater help in the years to come in selling them.

MY HOUSE OF DREAMS Prize Poem— Inez Marie Thompson—C2D. i possess a uttle house Caressed by sun and rain; The ivy clampers up its walls And taps each window pane; There all within is quietness And peace of homely things, For 1 would have my little house A rest for tired wings. ihe firelight flickers on the walls Where hang my pictures quaint: A dozen garden scenes or so, A famous artist’s saint. My well-loved books stand round about In long inviting rows, And there beside the fireplace bright An old brown dog’s adoze. lie-cushioned nooks designed for ease, Await one here and there, Whilst bowls of pinks and mignon¬ ette Waft fragrance on the air. The kettle hums a merry tune Th at never seems to cease, And little china figures shine Upon the mantle piece. And up the stairs—such crooked stairs! But yet so pleasant too— The little slant-roofed sleeping rooms Are decked in white and blue: And there sweet sleep forever broods From candlelight till dawn To bless the weary traveller And send him strengthened on. I sweep and dust the pleasant room, I climb the crooked stair, I keep the glowing fires alight, I tend the garden fair— So well I love its every nook That strange to me it seems This little huose that I possess Exists but in my dreams. The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 23 HAPPY NEW YEAR Happy New Year! Oh the magic In the word that stirs the heart. Old year’s gone, with annals tragic, Let us make a brand new start; Pass up all our frets and troubles Turn our bacjfs on all that riles; Let it fade away like bubbles. Greet the coining year with smiles! It is futile, friends, to worry Over past mistakes and frets; Only get us in a “flurry” Fills us full of vain regrets. Yesterday is gone forever, And to-day is bright with cheer! Now ' s the time to make endeavor, For a brand new year is here- Look with faith unto to-morrow; Glance not backwards with a sigh; Wipe away each trace of sorrow Let your heart with hope soar high; Joy you’ll get, if joy you’re giving As the golden moments flit; Now’s the time to do your living— Now’s the time to do your bit. Put old “dreary days” behind you; Let old “might-have-beens” take fight; Don’t let former failures blind you To the present’s promise bright! Just go bravely forward, knowing That’s the future’s filled with cheer; Let your cup be overflowing With the joys of this New Year! GRACE ROSWELL—T2E. O- ENVY The lily looks upon the rose And envies her her blush; The crimson-breasted robin, too, Would fain sing like the thrush. The thrush would gladly give his song To own a breast so bright; The crimson rose oft sadly sighs, To be a lily white. The girl next door has several beaux, But often I can see She looks with envy over here When you are here with me. But I, who once admired her so And knew what envy meant, Now look at you with happy pride For love has brought content. MARY HUTNIK—C1D. SMILE Smile a little, smile a little, As you go along, Not alone when life is pleasant, But when things go wrong.

The morning sun breaks through the skies, The flowers lift their heads though shy, The sleeping birds are seen to rise. And twitter, spread their wings and fly. A light illuminates the world, The green trees shade the grassv banks, The leafage is by the wind un¬ furled. And morning rises to her ranks. SADIE WEISBERC.—C3C. -o- A BEAUTIFUL BEGINNING Slowly the sun is sinking, And the night is coming on. One bv one the stars come out And the great night has begun.

FLORENCE DONALDSON—C1D 24 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book AT NIGHT Softly night is falling, Day has gone to rest; And the sun is sinking In the golden west. Tiny stars are waking, From their slumbers deep; Twinkling lights are shining While the weary sleep. Watching every sleeper. The moon, serene and clear, Love beams sheds around her On those she holds most dear. Mother earth sleeps on, Wrapped in restful peace, Cares and troubles gone, Until the night shall cease. FLORENCE DONALDSON—C1D. THE HEROES When I sit down to rest awhile Sad thoughts come to my mind; Of men who went to foreign lands Sweet liberty to find. Upon the dreadful battle-field Our mighty heroes fell: And of the hardships which they bore No one can truly tell. Should we forget these faithful hosts W ' ho died for Freedom’s sake? And fought so bravely, side by side, When honour was at stake? Nay! Nay! in song and ballad Their sacrifice is told, And in the depths of all our hearts Their sacred names we hold.

The election of the execut¬ ive was the centre of interest for two weeks; a campaign was con¬ ducted by the supporters of the candidates. Campaign signs adorn¬ ed all the bill-boards, bearing in¬ inscriptions such as, “Vote for Hull”, “Gurbin for Secretary”, “Hull for President”, “Vote for John Rogers for President”, “Helen Best for Vice-President”. efforts on developing an enthus¬ iastic school spirit. School ye ' ls were called for and good results followed. Cheer leaders were chos¬ en, and the school put through some of the newly-invented yells. A school spirit is growing and re¬ quires careful coaching. T3A. T3B.—The first genera meeting of the Tech United was held on December 15th, at which T3A. and T3B. put on an interest¬ ing program, a scene from Shake speare’s “Macbeth”, and a select¬ ion from an old French play. A large audience greeted this first effort. Intense interest was displayed during the elections, and when the results were given out, there were some surprises. The officers were elected as follows: President—John Rogers. Vice-President—Helen Best. Treasurer—Margaret Price. Secretary—Florian Gurbin. Third Form Rep. — Nellie Ostrowski. Second Form Rep. — Vaughn Courrier. First Form Rep.—Philip Padgett The executive of the Tech Unit¬ ed met shortly after the election and decided to concentrate all their T-2-A and T-2-B— At the second meeting which was held on January 18, T2A and T2B staged some acrobatic stunts and “The Boston Tea Party” under the direction of Mr. Wood. The increased attendance was very gratifying. It proves that Tech United is succeeding in its purpose to bring together the two depart¬ ments of the school, the Technical and th“ Commercial, into one unit¬ ed student body.

Front Row—Florian Gurbin, Margaret Price, John Rogers (President), Helen Best, Nellie Ostrowski, Phillip Padgett. The latter form won the attention and applause of the large audience by a one act play entitled “An in¬ terrupted proposal.” This was an amusing comedy of mixed charact¬ ers. The parts were well acted. C3C also arranged a comedy, “The Lucky Escape.” Added attract¬ ions were Colonial folk dancing, boys chorus, with Ukelale accomp¬ animent, and a closing girls chorus. Tech United is still in its in¬ fancy. but has become strongly en¬ trenched during the short time of its existence. A perfect Tech Uni¬ ted is the hope and the end for which the Tech United Executives are laboring at present. As this year passes, we shall hand the torch to the executives of the following year.

THE ORATORICAL CONTEST Soon after Christmas every year, the Oratorical Contest is held at the Technical School. This year the contestants were divided into juniors and seniors. The seni¬ ors are those who were not sixteen on the first of September. There was a large number of contestants for the preliminaries, and some ve¬ ry interesting speeches were heard. The winners were:— - 1. Senior Girls Maude Holding, who spoke on a Twentieth Century Statesmen, and who gave us an illuminating ac¬ count of the life and ideals of President Wilson. 2. Senior Boys Florian Gurbin, who was the only contestant for the senior boys. He si oke on the Future of Canada. 3- Junior Girls Anna Starker, who spoke on The Future of Canada. She gave a graphic description of the condition of Canada at the present day, and prophesied greater prosperity in the future. 4. Junior Boys William Powell, who spoke on the Present and Future of Air Trans¬ portation. He gave an interesting account of the development of air transportation, and some views on its future.

O’Neil displayed his artistic ability in the decoration which were carried out in black and orange in keeping with the occasion of Hallowe’en. The orchestra consisted of the following — Violin, Delphis Bert¬ rand: banjo, Arnold McGarvey; drum, Harold Valentine, with Mr. Bennett as director and pianist. The second event of its kind took place on January sixth. This was a greater success than the first. The gymnasium was con¬ verted into a perfect fairyland with festoons of coloured paper ribbon. Mr. O’Neil provided con¬ fetti and streamers, the gay col¬ ours of which added an air of gaiety and festivity to the occasion. The orchestra showed itself at its best Delphis Bertrand ably deputized for Mr. Bennett for the latter part of the afternoon. This orchestra is one any school should be proud of. The punch which was served at intermission proved very refreshing to the dancers. The proceeds of these dances are devoted to a very worthy cause, the Girls Athletics, which should receive the support of each and every one in the school. -o—-- THE MOVIE PICTURES This is the second year the Technical has had its movie pic¬ ture machine. Every Wednesday morning at the Assembly, some of these films are shown. They are both educational and interesting, and are received with great enthus¬ iasm by the pupils. A large number of these films are provided by the courtesy of the Ford Motor Company. They deal chiefly with the industries and con¬ ditions of Canada. Some very good films of the Dominion’s National Parks were shown. A few reels of Canada as a tourist’s paradise were also shown, and gave some delight¬ ful glimpses of such beauty spots as Prince Edward Island, and the magnificent scenery around the Gaspe Peninsula. The school also had the pleasure of seeing a few pictures of some 30 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Back Row—Vaughn Courrier, William Gibbs, Delphis Bertrand, Earl Fortin, Earl Laforet, John Rose, Levere Hodges.

The film entitled “The Forbidden City” excited much interest am¬ ongst the pupils, and gave them a deeper insight into the life and character of the mysterious people of the Orient. The moving picture machine is a source of pleasure and instruct¬ ion to the pupils, and is certainly a great asset to the Technical School. -o- THE SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The school orchestra is now en¬ tering upon its fourth year of act¬ ivity, and is to be congratulated upon its growth in numbers and progress in performance. We are fortunate to have really superior talent amongst our pupils to carry on the musical requirements of our school from year to year. The Commencement program and the school concert are the big events for which the orchestra practice. This year, the production of “Pin¬ afore” for the school concert has greatly increased the usefulness of the orchestra, as their part is no small one. Nor is the experience acquired to be despised by the would-be performers, giving them, while still young, this opportunity to learn ensemble and accompani¬ ment playing.

THE SCHOOL CONCERT Our school is this year attempt¬ ing something unique in our hist¬ ory, for the school concert, that is, the Gilbert and Sullivan opera “H. M. S. Pinafore. We have discover¬ ed a wealth of musical talent am- The Windsor-WalkervDle Technical School Year Book 31 ong our pupils which lay there unsuspected. The production of such a performance means much assiduous practice, but it has as a reward, entertainment, develop¬ ment of talent, and taste for a higher class of recreation and appreciation. None of the parti¬ cipants will ever regret the time spent. The opera itself is a happy combination of words and music which, although written by two different men, fit one another perfectly. Villainy, tragedy, rom¬ ance and love are all portrayed in the same happy, entertaining man¬ ner. We are not asked to cry, or shudder, but to simply enjoy our¬ selves in comfort. In the preparation of this opera, we have had the assistance of a large staff, in preparing the mus¬ ic, directing the dramatic pro¬ duction, the costuming, the stag¬ ing and lighting effects. Their efforts are much appreciated by the school at large. We are indebted to Messrs Fred Lodge, Leslie McNamara, a n d Lockhart Johnston for taking the major parts of Ralph, the captain, and the admiral, parts calling for more training than can be expect¬ ed of boys in our school.

It would have been unreasonable, of course, to refuse entrance to those apply¬ ing for admission, so some plan had to be devised to take care of this surplus. Upon inquiry it was found that at all times during the day there were certain rooms empty, either class rooms or shops, and after much consideration it was decided to give the Rotary System a tryout. This system would keep all rooms occupied at all times. The following will outline this plan. In the morning, the pupils secure any books which will be re¬ quired for the classes until recess. At nine o’clock they assemble in the home room, and the class teacher marks the attendance sheet. The students then form in line and march in single file to the class denoted by the time table, for a period of thirty-five minutes study. This is continued until re¬ cess, when the pupils are dismissed so that they may again go to their lockers and obtain any books which will be needed for the next group of periods until lunch time. There are three lunch spaces, the first of these beginning at twenty-five minutes after eleven and the ' last at twenty-five min¬ utes to one These spaces are of the same duration as the preceding ones, thirty-five minutes each. By the old system, the teachers had to decide which books thev would need for the subjects whicB were to be taught and then waste time walking to the classes, while by the Rotary System the pupils walk from room to room. This lit¬ tle intermission rests them and makes them more fit for the next subject. Added to this,, every room is occupied at all times. One disadvantage is that the pupils have to carry their books around with them, and therefore these are sometimes lost. This comparison of the advant¬ ages and disadvantages of the systems will clearly illustrate the superiority of the Rotary System.

Last year’s team came very close to achieving the crown of its ambitions in the form of the Junior W. 0. S. S. A. champion¬ ship. The Stratford Collegiate team were however a little too ex¬ perienced. The present winter has been a very successful one. In spite of the fact that the Windsor and Walkervillo Collegiate teams were much stronger than before, our boys won the group champion¬ ship with four successive victor¬ ies. The scores against Windsor HOCKEY Hockey is the fastest and most spectacular game in the world. The rapid and sustained action and the constant shifting of the play from one goal to the other makes it a succession of thrills for the specta¬ tors and sometimes of spills for the players. It is a sport which demands skill and endurance, and only those who carefully observe the laws of health and hygiene find themselves able to take part. Hockey in the Windsor-Walker¬ ville Technical School is now five 34 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book were 13-0 and 6-1, and against Walkerville 5-1 and 5-1. De I,a Salle Collegiate of Lon¬ don were Tech’s opponents in the semi-finals. The first game of the series was played in Windsor be¬ fore a large crowd. De La Salle backed by the marvellous goal¬ tending Molly, put up a wonderful fight for half the game. Then Tech, ran wild to score a 9-2 triumph. The return game in Lon¬ don also went to Tech by a 3-1 count. Then came the finals. The mighty Stratford Collegiate, cham¬ pions for the past two years, and fresh from the conquest of Mitch¬ ell, swept into town. The teams played at a terrific pace. For thirty-two minutes there was no score on either side—and then dur¬ ing the last eight minutes of the second period Tech scored three. The game ended with Tech, lead¬ ing 4-1. The return game in Stratford was even more thrilling. A large delegation of loyal supporters hir ed a moving van and journeyed to Stratford. This magnificent support inspired the team. For forty-six minutes Stratford and Tech, battled without a score. One team had to weaken, and this time it was Stratford. Tech, scored three goals in quick succession, and won the game and the round. The championship, eagerly sought for five years was ours at last. %X ' 4 % • - 04 ' 4. y e -m ? In winning the Junior W. 0. S. S. A. championship for 1928. Tech, compiled a marvellous re¬ cord.. Eight league games were played and all were won by large scores. During these games Tech, scored forty-eight times, while one opponents were able to score but 7. This record has never before been equalled in high school hock¬ ey, and will likely stand for many years. The following is a brief sketch of the players: Teno (2)—Goal—Charlie is the captain and is a Windsor boy. He used to play defence, but when he came to Tech, he blossomed forth into a goalie. He stops ' em. Tobin (2)—Defence—Tom is a veteran from last year’s team. He has just one ambition in life and that is to meet Stratford again. On trips away from home he is the life of the party. Langlois (3)—Defence—Bud is at present the most illustrious cit¬ izen of LaSalle. He is in constant training and is achieving fame a ' a goal getter. He and “Toby” make a powerful defence pair. Cockell (4)—Right Wing—Dav¬ ie fought valiantly against Strat¬ ford last year. He plays a good combination game, checks hard, and is an all round valuable player. Hastie (5)--Centre—George leads the Tech, forward line on their goal-getting expeditions. He is fast and clever, and is a heavy scorer. The motto of opposing teams is “Watch Hastie.” Todd (6)—Left Wing—Alex teams up with Hastie on the for¬ ward line. He assists in a great many scores, and scores not a few goals himself. Niemi (7)—Right Wing—Ernie hails from Riverside, where hockey players are born not made. He p’avs his position weM, and is a valuable player both on attack and defence. The VVindsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book BOYS’ BASKETBALL Back Row—Mr. C. McCallum (Coach), Frank Swackhammer and Basil Robertson (cheer leaders), Mr. W. D. Lowe. Middle Row—Ross Howard, Vernon Vie. Gordon Anderson (Captain), Frank Hull, Dick McLaren. Front Row—Norman Elliott, Alfred Hoole, Clancy Fisher. Douillard (8)—Centre and Left Wing—Omar used to play defence, but this winter he decided to be¬ come a forward. He checks hard and scores frequently. McParland (9)—Left Wing— What Joe lacks in size he makes up in ambition. He knows how t score and his persistent back checking plays havoc with his oji- ponents. Skaleski (10)—Goal—Metro is a former resident of Fort William. Like Charlie Teno his specialty is stopping pucks. Clinansmith (11)—Left Wing— “Steve” or “Spec” is a hard work¬ ing forward, who learned the game on the open air rinks of Windsor. HOYS’ KASKETBALL Basketball is perhaps the most important of the sports in school. 36 The Windsor-Walkervllle Technical School Year Book RUGBY TEAM Back Row Left to Right Roy Jewell, Harold Pastorias, James Zade, Mr. W.

This year’s team, a combination of new players, shows plenty of spirit and fight to win, but lacks team work and tricks that come to a team that has played together for a year or so rather than a few months. But the team as a whole is a great credit to the school. Althou gh they did not win the championship, they gave the other teams a great scare. League games were not numer¬ ous so to satisfy the appeal of the players, many other teams were challenged and played, with disast¬ rous results for most of them. With Fisher and Hoole at guard, and Vie, Anderson, and Hull on the forward line. Tech has one of the best basketball teams ever turned out. -o- • RUGBY The rugby situation at Tech, presents the usual difficulties of a rapid turn-over of students. Not having enough players to form a junior team, we are forced to go into higher ranks with a team made up of a few seasoned players and a large number of young candi¬ dates playing the game for the first time. While these boys poss¬ ess all the qualities of good play¬ ers, they lack self-confidence The W indsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 37 r A t i against older and more experienc¬ ed opponents. We hope the increase in regis¬ tration next year will provide us with material for a junior team and develop the younger boys in competition with their equals. We were pleased with the fine showing our “youngsters” made in senior company. Under the captaincy of “Beanie” Parent, the team performed in a creditable manner. The long runs of Vie and Anderson, line plunging of Brent and Tobin and the tackling of Joe Mason were outstanding features of our team. The accompanying cut shows the generous support of our school to this exciting pastime. -o- OUR CADET CORPS “This corps is improving each year and is in the runners up for General Efficiency Trophy for M. D. No. 1.” Such is the essential part of the report of Lieut. Col. Gillespie who was the inspecting officer at the annual inspection of Windsor Walkerville Technical School Cadet Corps No. 1112, held in Lanspeary Park on June 1st, 1927. This report is further strengthened by the fact that in every department the corps was rated “Very Good.” The Bugle Band was specially mentioned as being one of the best in the dis¬ trict. This is a fine tribute to the work of Instructors Denean and Neale and the Cadet person¬ nel of the band. It is also a very gratifying fact to note that the standing was raised from fifth place in 1926 to third place in 1927. This is a record for the school and corps to be proud of, especially when it is considered that this is one of the youngest corps in M.D. No. I 1 , which comprises most of Western Ontario. In addition, as many of the cadets enrolled are only in school one or two years, this entails an immense amount of work on those responsible for the training of the corps. The personnel of the Cadet 01 f- icers for 1927 was as follows:— Battalion Commander — Julius Goldman. Battalion 2nd Commander—Jack Blackton. A. Co. Co. Commander—Leo Gold¬ man. Platoon Commanders:—Chapman, Courtenay. B Co. Co. Commander—McArthur. Platoon Commanders: — Kersey, Hull. C. Co. Co. Commander—Roy Pas- hak. Platoon Commanders:--Theobald, McDonald. Signal Section—Jones. Stretcher Bearers—John Parent. Band—G. Gelinas. (Walter Up. 38 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book SOCCER TEAM Back Row -Frank Oliver, Wtn. McDonald, Mr. P.

The players were light and could not penetrate the heavy line of the defence of their opposi tion. They played their best game with Windsor when they held that eleven down to a final score of 1-0 in Windsor ' s favor. The team at all times played fair and fought hard, and were always backed up by their coach, Mr. Bennett. BOYS’ BASEBALL Teck’s baseball team was a small, fast nine last year, and although they did not come out on top, they played a fast game. They won their first game with W.C.I. with a score of 4—3. They lost their next two to Assumption College and W.C.I. In their next game with Assump¬ tion, the y played an eleven inning but failed to defeat Assumption by 5—2. Langlois, the first baseman, received the glove given to the player who got to first base oft- • enest.

Throughout the academic year instruction and prac¬ tice are given on the miniature range, within the school, to those boys who have obtained the con¬ sent of their parents. Several matches are fired and very creditable scores have been recorded both in this and former years. The chief event is the “King George 5 Cup” match which is fired on the Cove ranges in Lon¬ don in October each year. This match brings together teams from practically all the larger and many of the smaller schools in Western Ontario. This year seventeen teams were entered. The competition was very close, the winning team not being known until the last com¬ petitor had fired. The results of the day’s shoot for our school were ouite encouraging as the members of the team brought back two med¬ als as well as the team prizes. Bernard Swanson won the D.C. .R.A. bronze medal for sixth place in the individual aggregate out of 136 competitors, while Bert Bal¬ som won the gold medal for the highest score at 300 yards out of a like number of competitors. Han¬ dicapped as we are owing to the lack of an official outdoor range, this is considered an excellent showing. ‘10 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book TRACK FIELD TEAM Back Row—Jim Cruickshank, Gerald Getty, Kerr Christian (Sr. Champ.), Ray Lauzon (Int.

And when the day finally came, although Tech did not retain the shield, 76 points were secured. 19 being contributed by the girls and 57 by the boys. In addition to that, Raymond Lauzon of C1C, won the Intermediate Championship with a total of 21 points. The boys are competing in the track meet at London next May and hope to bring back more than one champ¬ ionship to Tech. THE SENIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM With the return of six members of last year’s team, Tech had the nucleus of a good team this year. With the addition of new pupils from other schools. Tech has been able to put on the floor one of the best teams it has ever had. Out of five games played, three have been won and two lost. Should Tech win from Windsor in the last game, the two schools will be tied for first place in the district. The first game of the season was lost to Windsor by a score of 17—14 in the last minute and a half of play. It was the cleanest, fastest game yet played. For the first time, a Tech girls’ first team beat Walkerville’s first team by a score of 28—21. Tech also won two games from Sarnia 22—19, 22- 20, but lost the return game with Walkerville 26—21. Evervone is proud of the team, which, under the leadership of Hel¬ en Garfat, has been so successful this year. Who’s Who on the Team HELEN GARFAT—The snappy little captain ami inspirer of the team mak¬ es Tech’s scores run up with her ac¬ curate shots.

Front Row—Jewel Delons;, Helen Eddie, Gladys Parent, Leta Knight. forwards, whose excellent work will be recalled with pleasure for many a day. WINNIE POTTS—Agile on her feet, light but aggressive; she is a good sport and possesses an accurate shot. VERNA RUDLING—She is a good de¬ fence, both fast and tall. The basket ball very rarely gets past her arms which she always uses to the best ad¬ vantage. ELIZABETH HALL—“Liz”, an adept player, plays the game quickly and craftily. She can be depended upon to get her opponent on all occasions. OLIVE WEIR—She is a snappy little guard, and deserves credit for holding her forward down to a limited number of baskets. -O- While our girls didn’t win the champ¬ ionship in their group, they came next to Windsor who always supports a strong team. - 0 - GIRLS’ ATHLETICS During the cooler months of the school term every girl plays basketball, while volley ball, baseball, badminton,,and ten¬ nis are played in the Spring. There is a competition between the forms in bas¬ ketball. All the first forms are in one group, while second, third and fourth compose the other group. The best teams in these two groups play off. Athletic pins are given to the members of the team winning the form championship. Five of these pins entitle the holder to a “merit pin.” INTERMEDIATE GIRLS’ BASKETBALL We offer our congratulations to the intermediate girls who represented the School in the basketball series last fall. - 0 - GIRLS’ SOFT BALL In the spring of 1927, Tech was successful in winning the county championship in soft ball. The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book •13 ?-f | GRADUATES’ SECTION j TECH MEMORIES One day as I wandered alone in the wood, I came to a place where a (riant elm tree stood. As I (razed on its beauty. softly I sighed, As (rraroful it towered aloft in its pride, When of a sudden a vision appeared, And where the elm tree stood the Tech Towers reared. (Hinting and flashing aloft in the sun, Each tower flashed back the rays one by one. The school looked the same as I knew it of yore. With the great curving driveway lead¬ ing up to the door; The clock in its place still marked off the hours. And the beds on the lawn were ablaze with bright flowers. 1 entered, and stood alone in the halls, And silently gazed at the scenes on the the walls. Then memories came flooding back thru the years. At the thought of old friends my eyes dimmed with tears. And still as I gazed, all faded away, The elm tree beside me seemed softly to sway, And bending, drooped ’round me its ten¬ der green leaves, And whispered so softly of my Tech Memories. CHARLES FISHER - 0 - GRADUATES DANCE The graduates dance was, of course, a great event, and was looked forward to by all the grad¬ uates and their friends. It was held on January 13th, 1928, in the big gymnasium of the Technical School. Mr. O’Neill certainly deserves a great deal of thanks for the way in which he decorated the gym. It looked beautiful with its differ¬ ent coloured streamers and its 44 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book large palms. In the centre was an aeroplane suspended from the ceil¬ ing. Written on the wings was “The Spirit of Tech.” The orc¬ hestra stand was decorated with Japanese lanterns and streamers, while the dresses of the graduates added a final touch to the colour scheme. The dancing started at 9 p.m. and concluded at 12.30 p.m. Judging from the noise and laugh¬ ter, everyone had a good time. When the dancing started, caps and favours were given to all, and they certainly added a touch of gayety to the occasion. —-o- COMMENCEMENT The commencement exercises of the Windsor-Walkerville Technical school were held in the Technical School Auditorium on the evening of Jan. 11. In the absence of Mr. R. .1. Desmarais, chairman of the board, the chair was taken by Mr. Geo. A. Courtenay. Following the singing of 0 Can¬ ada, the chairman delivered an ad¬ dress in which he spoke highly of the Technical school and its teach¬ ing staff. A piano solo was then pleasingly rendered by Miss Lorna Batzold and a selection “Juliet” was played by the school orchestra. Mr. D. M. Eagle, principal of the French-English training school for teachers, addressed the graduates. He dealt with the necessity of practising thrift, and of making the best use of spare time, on t he part of those who are obliged to work for a living. He spoke of the value of hard work and the re¬ sponsibilities that are continually to be met with in the day’s work. Mr. Eagle spoke of the day a be¬ ing divided into 8-hour periods, the work pei-iod, the recreation period, and the period for sleeping, and advised the graduates to use each period to the greatest advantage. • After Mr. Eagle’s address, a vocal solo was rendered by Vera Nageleisen. The commercial dip¬ lomas were presented by Mr. And¬ rew Leishman, while Miss Gladys Breed presented the Household Arts diplomas. A violin duet “Souvenir” was next played by Earl Laforet and Earl Fortin, while Gladys Kerr de¬ livered the valedictory address. The merit pins were then awarded by Mr. Long of the Board to those who headed their classes during the previous year. Charles Fisher de¬ livered the humorous school pro¬ phecy. Mr. Frank Harding presented the Athletic medals in the absence of Mr. Frank W. Begley. The Dominion of Canada Rifle Associa¬ tion medals were presented by Mr. P. J. Tschirhart. A selection “Lassie of Mine” was played by the school orchestra. The exercises were brought to a close with the singing of “God Save the King”. -o- MESSAGE FROM A GRADUATE I want to congratulate the school as a whole, on the splendid and re¬ markable progress it has made wit¬ hin the past four years. You (I use the personal pronoun now as though speaking to each one indiv¬ idually), have shown the real ‘Tech Spirit’ and have won a name for yourself far and wide. The fourth year will always stand out foremost in my memory, and what a good year that was! One of the most outstanding feat¬ ures was the “Tech United” which as you know, was started and put under way through the efforts of Mr. Voaden. Oh! how I wish T were back at school if just to at¬ tend those meetings, where every¬ body knew one another.

This has supplemented their training at Tech in this work and has paved the way for better things to come. -o- HOUSEHOLD ARTS DEPART- MENT Ethel Jacques Although a graduate of the Household Arts Course, Ethel has been working for a year in one of Canada’s largest business firms, that of the Bell Telephone Comp¬ any. She finds the work very in¬ teresting and has been very suc¬ cessful in a position where accur¬ acy and speed are demanded. We prophesy that Ethel will yet make use of her training in home¬ making. Fern Knight Fern Knight was our cook. She not only knew her calories but as a star pupil she did shine. She was a conscientious worker and led her class, graduating in 1927. During her last year, she served as treas¬ urer of the Tech United, and in September returned to school to study Book-keeping and Art and to do part time work as Cashier and dessert and cake-maker in the school cafeteria. Fern is interest¬ ed in Social Service and has al¬ ready commenced work with the University of Detroit. Nellie Ostrowski Nellie Ostrowski came to this school four years ago, and entered the Technical department. It was 50 Thu Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book not long- before her influence was felt. She was interested in all the school activities, the school plays, year book, and Technical Towers, a weekly column in the star. She specialized in Millinery and we are assured of Nellie’s ability in that work, by the fact that last summer while in the employment of Miss Tait, a Milliner in Detroit, she was placed in charge during Miss Tait’s absence. Nellie is now in the Commercial department, and we feel sure that a trirl possessing such ability and charm will be a credit to the school, the teachers and herself. Martha Tacon Our nurse! She specialized in cooking and home nursing and graduated with honors in 11)27. She was an interested worker. In September she entered the Child¬ ren’s Hospital, Detroit, where she is in training. Muriel Chisholm A very popular member of the graduating class of ’26. She had a most winning personality. After leaving school, Muriel w r as in trade in Detroit for one year, and proved very successful in her work as a finisher. Her employer spoke very highly of the character of her work. In 1927 she entered the Ontario Training College in Hamilton, where she took a summer course in dressmaking. She graduated as a junior and received her diploma, which qualifies her as a teacher of dressmaking. She expects to com¬ plete her training. Maribelle Gilmore When Maribele Gilmore gradua¬ ted in 1926, her ambition was and still is to become a nurse, but in the meantime she is very happy as assistant in a doctor’s office, where her duties are record keeping, giving of treatments, pre¬ paration of dressings and general office care. Maribelle seemed tem¬ peramentally suited to a nurse’s calling, and we believe she will yet realize her ambition. Jean Deyo She completed her third year of the home-making course in 1927. She is now taking a commercial course, but hopes to continue her studies in English and Art—her two favorite subjects. Margaret C ' hoale A graduate of June, 1927. In the fall she accepted a position as mak¬ er and trimmer of hats in the Glo¬ ria Hat Shop, an exclusive millin¬ ery parlour in the Woodward Arc¬ ade, Detroit. Proof of Margaret’s success is in the statement which Miss Wilson, Margaret’s employer, makes: “Margaret is a wonderful worker, I would not part with her under any consideration”. The two girls below did not graduate from this department, but they spent a year or more in our school: Enid Buley Enid, for three years, was a pop¬ ular member of the Technical Department. She was a bright Eng¬ lish girl and took eagerly to her work from the start. To get exper¬ ience in the line of selling, she worked for a while in the C. H. Smith Store, where she did very well. At present, Enid is doing par¬ lour Millinery at home. Doris Taylor Upon completing her Collegiate course, Doris entered Tech, where she spent part time in the House¬ hold Arts Department. She was ve¬ ry artistic and took a keen delight iq Millinery. She decided to train as The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 45 fourth year was the best then, I know this fourth year will be even better. I am sure that you will do all in your power to uphold the name of your school. You will want to be the best school in the Dominion and I hope you will soon accomplish this end. With kind remembrances to my loyal teachers and ex-students, I now bring my narrative to a close. Yours for every success, FRASER GRENVILLE. -o- THE ADVENTURES OF A GRADUATE 1 left school last year with high hopes and great ambitions. In fact I quite intended to take the world by storm—but the world took me by storm instead. Thinking about getting a position is very simple, I found, but the actual “getting” is a job in itself. The first one was easy enough, but one day the firm’s money gave out, and that was the end of my first job. Then the fun began. One day I started out to an office to apply for a position. “It’s only a few min¬ utes ride on the car” I was told, and so off I went. I gaily jumped on a street car and told the con¬ ductor to yell when he came to my stop. A few minutes passed—then a few mere. Half an hour passed and still the conductor hadn’t said a word. Ten minutes more crawled by at a snail’s pace and I was sti ' l sitting on the street car. By this time, I was beginning to get excit¬ ed. So was the street car. Tn fact it got so excited it jumped right off the track and there it stayed for hours it seemed. Finally we started off again, and nearly an hour later the conductor ushered me off at my stop. But it wasn’t so simple as that. No indeed! The next question was, which way to walk to reach the number I was looking for. It was a lovely dist¬ rict—Oh yes! I really couldn’t decide whether lo walk in one of the junk shops, one of the Chinese Laundries, or one of the restaurants with the funny printing (which I couldn’t read) on the door, to inquire. So, to settle the matter I marched up to a man who was doing gymnast¬ ics on the street car track with a crow-bar. He looked up with a fer¬ ocious expression and told me (in his own language of course) some¬ thing which I took to mean “Mind your own business’. Therefore, I found it advisable to move on with¬ out further questions. Quite natur¬ ally of course, I moved in the wrong direction, and after stroll¬ ing along a few blocks, I discov¬ ered my mistake and strolled in the other direction. But before I reach¬ ed my destination, the street ended abruptly (a blind street I guess it is called) three times, and each time I had to wander around until I found where it started again. Well, I did get there finally— just three and a half hours after I had started—only to find that they wanted a girl between thirty and thirty-five. So that was that! Another time I was sent by someone to interview a man in Windsor. That wasn’t so bad—un¬ til he decided he would dictate three letters to me. So he handed me a note-book and an inch-and- one-half pencil and began. And such letters! About six hundred words a minute—and the words! For the first time in my life I wished I had memorized Mr. Web¬ ster’s dictionary. When he had finished dictating, he remarked that I might trans¬ cribe my notes on one of the girls’ 40 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book machines, although he really thought I was too young for the position. Too bad he didn’t say so before he started dictating, thought I. A few days later, I went to an¬ other office. That was better than the others had been. All went well until the manager suddenly re¬ marked “Of course, there’s consid¬ erable book-keeping to be done. Do you think you would have any trou- ble with the books?” There was a tense silence as be¬ fore me floated a picture—a pict¬ ure of an exasperated teacher handing back my exam, paper mar¬ ked with a huge, red 38%. As plain¬ ly as if she-had been there before me, 1 heard her say: “I really did¬ n’t think it could be possible for one person to make so many mistakes in Book-keeping until I saw your paper”. Well, I did the only thing left for me to do. I grabbed my hat and beat a hasty retreat. By this time, I had quite decided that I wouldn’t be a stenographer after all. In fact, I had almost de¬ cided to take in floors to scrub in¬ stead. Then suddenly, I was called to an office and given a position with¬ out even asking for it. The shock was terrible. I was so dazed that I put a street car ticket in the box at the ferry and handed my gloves to the street car con¬ ductor. ELECTA McDADE -o- CLASS PROPHECY—1927 Graduates of ' Twenty-seven, hearken to a humble sage, Who will tell you what your fort¬ unes are to be; I have peered into the future, and have read each secret page, And have witnessed all that fate has to decree. Now I tell of one who will be great, upon the bright lit stage; Her name and fame will echo far and wide, In operas and Shakespeare’s plays she will be the rage. Tech remembers Lorna Batzold, with great pride. And now I know you’d like to hear the fate of Ken Gillett; He tried to be a cowboy way out west. But when the cattle saw him, they just laughed themselves to deat ' o So the boss said, “Go back east am. take a rest”. I saw a lady speaking to a vast ami mighty throng, And what she said created quite a stir; “Us women want our rights,” she cried. The crowd cheered loud and long; When I saw that it was Gladys Kerr. There’s a jolly little fellow, all dressed up as Santa Claus, And he rings a bell to those who pass him by; You can tell without much trouble, that it’s Donald Lord, because You can see the merry twinkle in his eye. I can see the perfect hostess of the future, serving tea, To a group that have upon her come to call; Fern Knight just knows that cal¬ ories are very sure to please; For hubby seemed to mind them not at all. Political fame is coming to our old friend Samuel Marks; He will talk and laugh his way ’till he is great. Ah, no, I’m very sorry, but I’ve made some wrong remarks; Sam will only be mayor of Ford, sad to relate. The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 47 Just si ■]? inside this airy gym., and see the classes there; They are swinging clubs, and play¬ ing basketball. Their instructor is a pippin, Miss Dumsday, if you please; But you’d never know her now, she’s grown so tall. Here’s a bonny kilted laddie frae the noble Campbell clan, We always knew he’d be the chief of these; Ces. likes his kilts in Summer, but in the Winter and the Fall, He much prefers protection ’round the knees. 1 think that I can prophecy the life of Beta Knight; She tried to talk with spirits in the gloom. But when a ghost appeared. Beta almost died of fright, And the ghost laughed hollowly, and left the room. Down the ice I see come charging on a pair of gleaming skates, A hockey player of great renown and fame; And as I gaze upon him, he sits down upon the ice, Gordon Anderson is this bright star’s name. For one girl in the future, there’s a dreadful fate in store; She had her hair cut far beyond recall. And now style has decreed, that long hair shall be worn, I wonder what will happen to Lizzie Hall. Then T saw old Tommy Simpson, who’d sworn he’d never wed. Ere he would lose his freedom, he would die; And there beside him stalked his mistress tall and very grim. And as I looked at Tom’s sad feat¬ ures, softly did I sigh. Now I think that I shall tell a word of Bernice Lane; Literature will claim her for it’s own; Electa McDade, too, I think will win success amain, And far and wide her name shall then be known. One day a voice we all know will be heard upon the air, And by its beauty will you all en¬ thrall; It may sound at first like static, but if you persevere, You will find it is Julius Goldman after all. I see Pearl Banglois as a star upon the silver screen, I he hero of many a super play; Now let us gaze for just a while upon another scene Of Nellie Ostrowski as a cook some day. There are some folks say that Wilf. McArthur was dropped upon his head, When he was but a baby two or three. Mac’s none the worse for that, it’s made him wise instead; Oh ! what a lovely policeman he will be. 1 wandered in a circus where the freaks were all on show, And I saw a fat man sitting on a chair; Beside him stood a strong man, Who could twist a bar of steel; T hey were Mearl Menard and Par¬ ent, I declare. And now the vision’s fading, and I can see no more; The future life has vanished quite away. But if sometime in years to come, life seems but a bore, Just read this prophecy, and then be gay. CHARLES FISHER. 48 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book AFTER GRADUATION Another year has gone by and has taken from our midst a great number of our pupils.

Even shrewd business men occasionally find that little or nothing returns from certain ventures. How gratifying then a geniune gilt edge investment is! A young man graduating from Tech, has little money, but he has much time. How shrewdly he in¬ vests his first few years after leaving school will pi-obably decide his future progress and happiness. Here we have a photo of a group of young men from Tech who have completed a three years’ apprent¬ iceship in Tool and Die Making or Electrical Work at the Ford Motor The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 51 a teacher of Millinery and entered Toronto Normal School. After graduating the following summer, she attended the Train¬ ing College in Hamilton and obtain¬ ed her certificate which qualified he r to teach Millinery in any Tech¬ nical School in Ontario. «- VALEDICTORY Mr. Chairman, teachers, stud¬ ents,, ex-students and friends of the Windsor - Walkerville Technical School: To us, whose turn it is to-night to take leave of the active part in the pleasant duties and associat¬ ions of this school, has come a full realization of just what this com¬ mencement means to us. For the last three years, we thought the day would never come, this day when school books would be put aside forever and we would take our places in the assembly line of this great industrial and commerc¬ ial world. Many of us have a ' ready become acquainted with this world of busi¬ ness of which we have so long been dreaming, and find it vastly diff¬ erent from the life here in Tech., and perhaps greatly different from what we had anticipated. Although new interest now takes first pos¬ iti on in our attention, there will al¬ ways be a special place in our hearts for dear old Tech. For our teachers we have but one message, “Thank you”. Thank you for the efforts which you have ex¬ tended to help us. Thank you for your personal interest and many kindnesses. You have tried to give us something of your own broad outlook on life. We will not forget. I know that I am speaking on behalf of my class when I say that we do not want to be cast aside. Let us still be a part of the Tech¬ nical School and this need not be “Good-Bye”. So, as we leave our educational home to enroll in the large school of life, we extend a wish that as long as the Windsor-Walkerville Technical School exists, it will con¬ tinue to flourish as it has in the past few years, and that in the years to come our best citizens will be able to point with pride to this school where they received their education. GLADYS KERR The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 52 HOUSEHOLD ARTS DEPT. The girl who graduates from the Household Arts Department of this school will make an ideal wife and will also have a trade to work at in the time between her graduation and her marriage. Upon graduation, she is able to command a good salary in fields that are not overcrowded. If she specialized in Millinery or Dress¬ making in her third year, she will be in a position to open up a smart Millinery or Dressmaking estab¬ lishment of her own after she has worked at the trade for a short time. If she preferred the Foods department, after very little pract¬ ice she can open an attractive Tea Room. These are three of the pos¬ itions that she might work for. Are they not worth while? She understands how to dress appropriately and attractively, as well as economically—not cheaply —but at a real saving, because she can make and design her own clo¬ thing to suit her station, her type, and the occasion. In her home, she and her family will be happy. Because of her work in Art, she will be able to drape a curtain here and place a cushion there that will make her house into a home. In her Foods classes, she learned how to keep her husband from con¬ tracting that dread disease indig¬ estion, and her children will never have blood poisoning because in her Nursing -classes she has learned how to avoid it. She and her child¬ ren will always be stylishly dress¬ ed and will always wear the “Right Hat on the Right Occasion”. Lucky is the man who gets the Household Arts Department Grad¬ uate! The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 53 Cooking Room MILLINERY In the millinery department of the Technical Course, Miss Modern becomes acquainted with the ess¬ entials of her wardrobe. She soon finds out that her hat is one of the most important articles in her whole costume.lt will either make or mar the best and smartest look¬ ing dress. To be smart and chic, a hat does not necessarily have to be expensive. Some of the best look¬ ing hats made here at school by the girls cost less than three dollars. But, the reason for their beauty in line and colour is that in the mill¬ inery room line and colour are taught constantly, and Miss Mod¬ ern soon learns which colours are best for her and just what style of hat she can wear. After taking the millinery course one can find work in many varied places of business. A girl need not 1 e just a maker of hats. She car become a millinery teacher or go into business herself. No two grad¬ uates of the Technical Course have similar positions. One has become a millinery teacher, , one works as a maker and trimmer of hats, one does parlour millinery at home, and lastly, the writer of this article does millinery as a side-line, but has returned to school to further her knowledge for a good business training. NELLIE OSTROWSKI -o- CLOTHING COURSE One of the Technical School’s main departments is that known as the Household Arts Department, an important section of which is the Clothing Course. This course teaches: 1. Principles of sewing. 2. How to apply these principles. 3. Choice of materials. 4. Choice of suitable clothing. 5. Care of clothing. One of the insistent demands of the modern world is that a woman be smartly dressed. She must be 54 The Windsor-WalkervUle Technical School Year Book Art Room well-dressed to take her place in the busy industrial world of today, feel at ease, and so succeed. When a girl launches out in the world as a worker, it is often nec¬ essary that she make her own clothes. This she is unable to do if she has not the knowledge of how to set about to do it. By taking a Clothing Course at the Technical School, she acquires this know¬ ledge. Not only must she have the knowledge of how to create, but she must have learned how to choose appropriate clothing for dif¬ ferent occasions, and how to suit her colouring and figure. A girl who is taught to shop in¬ telligently and economically and with an understanding of values, becomes a person of common sense and thrifty habits. The Clothing Course does not stop here; it goes a little further. A girl is taught how to care for the clothes she makes or buys, and other articles of her wardrobe, such as shoes, stockings, coats, etc. Personal cleanliness and grooming are also given due consideration. Thus the Clothing Course is a very complete one of its kind, and girls taking this course have an ex¬ cellent opportunity to become thrif¬ ty Canadian citizens in the true sense of the word. MAUDE HOLDING. -o- — ART — I recently paid a visit to the Art Room of the Windsor-Walkerville Technical School. What a busy place it is! All one hears is the scratching of pencils on paper and the occasional rubbing of an eraser. The room provides a cheerful view and makes an ideal studio. Cunning little cuts adorn the many bulletin boards and some of the pu- oils’ drawings grace the back wall. This display includes samples o f work from First, Second and Third .Year classes. The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book On the day on which I visited the school, one of the girls was pos¬ ing. The Art Teacher told me they were taking figure drawing. It is an absorbing study, and the girls use it for their work in one of the other departments of this very busy place. All the pupils were in¬ tensely interested because art les¬ sons are so fascinating. There are some good drawings produced on the third floor of the “Tech”, and the Department is ap¬ preciated by the whole school. . NORMA GLEDHILL. Sewing Room 56 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book Switchboard and Dictaphone j Commercial the switchboard We have, recently, installed one of the latest and most modern Switchboards in our school, and to the knowledge of the Bell Telephone Company, this is the first school in America that has ever given lessons on the switchboard. This, we feel, is something to be proud of. The Switchboard has two trunk lines connecting with Central, and eight local stations or telephones throughout the school. It is operated by our day stud¬ ents for several days at a time, from nine o’clock to three, and then for several nights. Help is given, during the day, by the secretaries who have been pre¬ viously instructed by the supervisor of the Bell Telephone Company. In the ev¬ ening, however, the pupils are not help¬ ed, as they are by this time accustomed to the work.. The evening class consists of twenty pupils who are instructed by Mrs. Jess- op, loaned to us by the Bell Telephone Company for these classes. ™ ™ ' ! ,nr - - Y Department ! — Practice Makes Perfect — This practice is obtained by the co-op¬ eration of the day classes with the night classes. Five of the local stations in the school are occupied by day pupils from seven-thirty until nine-thirty o n the evening of the classes, and while the pupils are working on comptometers, typewriters, and the dictaphone, they have the privilege of calling their friends or some other student in the school. These calls, which the pupils put through the Switchboard, give practice to the ev¬ ening class, as well as additional pract¬ ice on the telephone for themselves. It is surprising to note that there are over one hundred switchboards in the Border Cities operated by office assist¬ ants along with their stenography and other duties. Will not, therefore, the graduates of our day and evening classes who have had this switchbord practice, be better prepared to meet the require¬ ments of the business world they will , soon enter ? The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 57 OUR DICTAPHONE The Dictaphone was purchased by the school in September, 1927. vt present only the Fourth Year Commercial students are able to make use of this new and in¬ teresting modern device, and it is indeed a pleasure to be given the opportunity of becoming acquaint¬ ed with this machine before enter¬ ing the business world which is be¬ coming more and more aware of the efficiency of the Dictaphone. 10 gain successful results, we must Jiave the three machines, one to dictate to, one to reproduce, and one to shave the cylinder after it has been used. The first one, the Dictaphone proper, is used by the teacher. She or he dictates to the machine, and the letters are record¬ ed on a cylinder. Learning how to operate and dictate to this mach¬ ine is very interesting, and it is worth one’s while to know how to do it. The second machine, or the reproducer, is the one mostly used by the pupils. The cylinder is plac¬ ed on the machine, the hearing tubes placed in the ears, and with the foot-control, the letters are typed. One advantage of this ma¬ chine is that you can make it op¬ erate quickly or slowly, loudly or softly. After examining the indica¬ tor (a paper having the same scale marked on it as the machine), you can tell the length of the letter, the number of corrections and what the corrections are. You can, with this information, place the letter ac¬ curately on the page. If by any chance you miss a word, you can move your foot over to the right where there is a reverse pedal and press it until it goes back to re¬ peat the missing word. The letters on these cylinder may be used a number of times, but with constant use they wear off. This is where the shaving machine play s its part. Shaving requires care, but is such a simple process that any boy or girl can undertake it after a few instructions. The ma¬ chine is equipped with a knife of sapphire which shaves the cylinder so that it may be used again and again. By the use of the Dictaphone, the secretary is freed from the nerve- racking strain under which she is put when taking correspondence or data, by the interruption of the tel¬ ephone, and business calls of every description. Shorthand, though still an important factor in commercial life, is being rapidly superseded by its accurate and more efficient ri¬ val—none other than that recent acquisition to our up-to-date school —the Dictaphone. DRAFTING—THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE There are many peoples, as many tongues, and a greater number of dialects. This condition makes in¬ tercourse with individuals of a for¬ eign land difficult. One language, however, is univ¬ ersal and readily understood by all, and this is the graphic language in which we convey our ideas by drawings. The making of drawings is call¬ ed Drafting. Naturally there are many kinds of Drafting since there are many industries and operations involved in the production of the articles which are commonplace to¬ day. Most people who are engaged in these processes sooner or later 58 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book Draughting Room must either make original drawings or work from them. To become versatile in this lang¬ uage requires a good preparation and long experience in the use of drawings. In this field of endeav¬ our as in all worthwhile activities there is no royal road to success, but only by long persistent effort can a student reach the desired goal. At Tech all the fundamental op¬ erations form the groundwork for the advanced drawings later, and those who have been through our course well know how the myster¬ ies of this work have been reveal¬ ed by the first and second year Just how well the third and fourth year courses have prepared students to follow this particular phase of technical work is shown by the success made by a number of our graduates who are now de¬ signers. detailers, or tracers in var¬ ious offices. A fact to be remembered is that drafting is a composite work—one must not only be able to make the drawing, but the more he knows about the process side of the job, the more perfectly can he make the drawing tell the story. This year at the Easter meeting in Toronto of the Ontario Educat¬ ional Association, the Technical section will give prominence to drafting displays. Our school will show work of students, and as well a display of drawings made by gra¬ duates in their present daily occu¬ pations. One set will be of a Jig des’ign for drilling a new Ford car part; another an Electric Welding Mach¬ ine; a ' so an oil burner regulator; and another, the shop details for a Cut. Stone job, and still another the architectural design of the class room building for Assumption Coll¬ ege. This will make an interesting and uninue exhibit—all the product of Tech’s present and former stud¬ ents!

Last year, at this time, all the pupils in the fourth form were look¬ ing forward to graduation from the three year course. Now some of us are looking forward to fourth year graduation while others are looking forward to working in an office. Of course, all of third form last year are not in fourth this year, but I am sure some of them would like nothing better than to come back to “Tech” again. In our course this year, a dict¬ aphone and switchboard have been added to our already numerous business appliances. Every pupil learns how to use them ,so that he will be efficient and expert in the use of them when “work in the of¬ fice” begins. This year, as in other years, fourth form has proved successful, as the pupils have been given an opportunity to do many things they cou’d not do in their busier third year.

Teacher: In the filing cabinet; nobody can ever find anything there. • • • Regina: What makes your hair so red, Fitz? itz: My hair is so wiry, that every time I wash it, it rusts. -O- FORM NEWS Commercial C4 in C4 there is the strangest group in the school. It is collected from four forms in the school, (that is forms that used to be) last year’s 3A, 3B, 3C and Special. 3A has the majority in C4 with a total of 7, 3B comes next with 6, Special next with 3, and 3C last with a lonely 1. Beatrice McLister is in C4 for the bookkeeping, and some day she will know all there is to know. Then there is Dot Cunningham. She is there for book-keeping, and what she doesn’t know, she gets from the 3B boys and C4 girls, with that winning smile of hers. Violet Alston is next. She seems to be fast at shorthand. Marion White, the sole survivor of 3C, is taking bookkeeping when she can get it, but she wants to do it her own way. Anna Pinoo is a good girl when she isn’t away on a long trip to some inland city. Winnifred Burton is next in line. At this writ¬ ing she is looking for a pair of ga¬ loshes, which she had missed while answering calls on the switchboard. (P.S. She has another pair now which, after a gruelling cross-ex¬ amination, were proved to be hers). Marianne Perks, her part¬ ner last week on the switchboard, seems to have lost a book while down there, (and also ten marks for losing it). Leah Fox has not been with us long, but I have found out she travels quite a bit, (to Rose ' and). Sarah Hughes is a big favorite in our class, even though they do tease her about her ances¬ try. (Scotch, of Irish descent). Ma¬ bel McCarthy takes long car rides every morning and night. Irene Gibbs comes before our view now. Her favorite hobby is writing ess¬ ays about the Dictaphone. Phyllis must be good. She is an ex 3B student. We have two basketball stars in our room in the persons of Helen Garfat and Lizzie Hall. They seem to get their speed on the typewriter from this source. Maybe it would be worth trying. Leta Knight and Bernice Lane are well known; Leta would wring my neck if I said anything about her anyway. Evelyn Overton, although at the tail of the list, is by no means down there in her class standing. She is at the head of the class and sets a pace hard to keep up with. If I have left anyone out of the list, don’t threaten me. It will be hard on me if they all start com¬ plaining, because I am the only boy in the form, with the exception of Joe DesRosiers, who cannot sup¬ port me because of his size and his being very much given over to be¬ ing late or absent.

The Windsor-Walkerville Tech¬ nical School is a business school. Our aim in coming to Tech is to receive an education in the ways of earning a living. What the busi¬ ness world needs today is active men and women, and the graduates of 1928 are trained to conduct their business in an experienced manner. In the Commercial Department of our school, two main lines are I aught, the Secretarial course for the Girls and the Accountancy for the Boys. With all the latest de¬ signs of business machines, our training is complete. The different 02 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book Office Systems taken up are sim¬ ilar to the ones used in large con¬ cerns today. In the Technical Department of our school, work along mechanical lines is taught. Machine Shop Practice, Tool making, Carpentry and Electricity are the main lines taken up. The equipment in both the Commercial and Technical de¬ partments is the best that can be secured. The grads of this year who will go out into the business world as stenographers, mechanics, book¬ keepers, builders etc., have much to thank Mr. Lowe and his capable staff of teachers for. JOE MORRISON. -o- FORM C-3-A There is no doubt that C3A gives great credit to our school. I am sure that all our teachers will as¬ sure you, as I do, that we are wor¬ thy of the name C3“A”. There is no lack of talent in C3A. We have girls who are noted for their good business ability, those who are of a musical turn, and those who excel in art. In C.3.A. we have two well-known orators, Hilda Haisman and Maude Holding. It is to form C3A that the school basketball team is indebted for three perfectly snappy players. It was a C3A girl who was elected to the office of treasurer of Tech Un¬ ited. So, you see, we are in every¬ thing. We are certainly proud of our form. -o- ‘THE HAPPY FORM” C-3-A I’ll introduce you to C3A., A form that’s happy, joyous and gay. There are thirty-two girls in this class; And I’ll guarantee that there’s not a lass Who does not love this Dear Old Tech., And hates it not a single speck. And when it comes to work—we’re there, Our ears pinned back and brilliant- ine in our hair. In typewriting we have won many awards. For knowing all the different key¬ boards. Then, when to shorthand with notebooks we go, Everyone knows that we are not slow. And if C3A you would like to meet, Please come to room 313 and take a seat; But, if our room you cannot find, Choose the noisiest line and fall in behind. For the Teachers say we are the Talkers of all, Whether we’re in gym, or class, or hall; But I’m sure you’ll love us all the same, And some day, as stenographers we’ll win fame. -o- FAMOUS SAYINGS —BY FAMOUS TEACHERS. We’ll have the next two letters for home-work. Well just note a few questions on this part of the work. Please read the last note I gave you, Miss- When the whistle blows, fall in line. There must be line in every hat. I look into your faces and I see blank expressions. Put lunches and everything else away and get to work. Mr. Sirrs: Joe, if you had 5 oranges and 5 apples, and you gave John nine- tenths, what would you have? Joe: I’d have my head examined.

Our form is made up of 40 energetic boys and girls always on hand at the Tea Dances and will¬ ing to fox-trot. The C3B form pa¬ per ‘The Tattler’, which was print¬ ed weekly until recently, told of all the form news and jokes and was read in the study spaces. The ed¬ itor, Joe Morrison, and his chief reporters, J. Duffy, A. Morrison and Robert Macdonald, were res¬ ponsible for most of the news. At the time this magazine is going to press, C3B will be presenting a one- act play entitled “An Interrupted Proposal” and a Dance by the girls. This programme is for “Tech Un¬ ited”. 64 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book Some of the Latest Releases “How I make a piece of chewing gum last two weeks” by R.

Just Ask Mr. Bennett, he’ll give you th dope. When first you enter the room you’ll meet Langlois with the great big feet; And looking down to the centre of th room. You’ll hear a voice loud; You ’ll know its Bourne if there’s a crowd. Then will be seen a fellow with a grin— It’s Bogeman amidst the din. Then we have Carley, the track team champ, And Fred Morneau who on the baseball field does tramp. He shakes a wicked leg And says he’s got a wicked peg. Then there’s Halliday who thinks he’s bright; But the rest of us say he’s far from right. The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 65 Then knock-out Wilkins who sure can box! If you don’t think so, stop a few socks. Look over Niemi who’s very gruff, But don’t kid yourself—he knows his stuff. They say Art Mann studies a lot; Don’t believe it, it ' s a lot of rot. There’s also Bill Merry, Milne and White, They never work and are always on strike. There’s the artist, Alex. Odevseff, He works in a restaurant and makes a good chef. The rest of the form will speak for it¬ self; They don’t hide at the back of the shelf. Now look us over—w e don’t fool; T. 3. B. from the Technical School.

Question: What is the difference between a cat and a comma? Answer: A cat has it’s clause at the end of it’s paws, while a comma has it’s pause at the end of it’s clause. Instructor: Merry, if you don’t be good you ' ll get a walking ticket. Merry: Please, dear teacher, what does a walking ticket look like? -O- Who Knows? I used to think I knew I knew, But now I must confess; The more I know I know I know, I know I know the less. GERALD BOURNE, (Philosopher) -o- C-3-C VANITIES. Miss Terry Lucier leads us all, When dancing she makes hardly a sound at all. And Francis St. Amour comes very near, But sound from spike heels you expect to hear. Miss Dorothy Child is next in the line, Powders her nose to take off the shine. Winnie Fullerton so thort and thin, Quits her studies as soon as she begins. Florence Miller has a twinkling eye, She doesn’t worry, so why should I? Miss Grace Beckett excels in Busine Law, The answers she gives fill the rest with awe. Then of course, there ' s Kathryn Brooks. She spends a lot of time with her books. Miss Red Brady is official door-stop, Lifts the curtain and lets it drop. And there will certainly be something doin’ If we forgot to mention Josephine Goulin. I know a girl, E. A. L. f If her name you’d have me tell; You must first then of me beg it, It is Eileen Alice Leggatt. The author’s name I must not tell. It is just plain D. E.

DORIS LEGGATT. 66 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book C-3-C HEARS THESE A Trial Balance is — having diff¬ iculty. Don’t be so loquacious. When did the dark ages begin? Now just a few words about the Hockey Team. Who is doing the talking now ? Please hand in this exercise for to¬ morrow. ■-o- SAYINGS OF FAMOUS STUDENTS A. Wandor—Say, Kiddie! F,. Barash—Please, may we go down to the auditorium to practice? F. Miller—Girls, you should see Frank! .1. Goulin—Oh! I was absent for that. K. Chapman—Oh! yes, and I went on a sleigh ride last night. F. St. Amour—Have you your ticket for the game? M. Leigh—I don’t understand it, even yet. -o- — SECOND FORM — When pupils enter school life as second formers, they feel a little more responsible than they did the year before. They perhaps show real enthusiasm in sports, they are more eligible to compete wth high¬ er forms, and they show more in¬ terest in their school work. This year the second formers alone were allowed to compete for the junior cup given for the best Tech United programme. In the oratorical contest, a second form girl won second place in the junior girls’ competition. A boy or girl in second form be¬ gins to feel that the school is his home, and that he owes a good deal to it. For this reason, it is here that a real school spirit begins to manifest itself and to develop. AGNES WAIDE ' -o- C-2-A C2A played a very successful game in basketball last term again¬ st C2B. Both teams were evenly matched and put up a hard fight. At the end of the period the score was 3—2 in favour of 2A. Two interesting debates were he ' d in C2A form. HEARD IN THE CLASS Class Teacher: Now, class, for homework take exercises 70, 71, 72, 73 and 74. Olive Shurak: I haven’t any idea Noella Bertrand: Let me see the mirror, Mary. Anna Warsh: Well, you see, it was this way. Mary Berbynuk: Who’s got my apple? Daisy Curtis: Do my face and hair look all right? Edythe Alexander: I was absent. Miss. Agnes Beauchamp: Do it yourself, I had to do it myself. Doris Payne: Lend me that book please. Pamela Todd: I hope I get 100 in Geo¬ graphy. Toba Sherman: What do we have for homework, Miss Cragg? Mary Doloughen: It takes the Irish to do it. Helen Smadu: Oh! Boy. Bella Summers: Say, listen! Hattie Ion: I wasn’t talking. Vivian Howe: I read that ltook, but I don ' t like it. T-2-A T2A is progressing rapidly in the way of knowledge and sport. We all get 100 ' . on our exams—50. We put on a play “The Boston Tea Par¬ ty”, and with T2B we made it the best play put on by any class in “Tech United”. We expect to win the cup. We are not only literary bat we have a winning basketball team, having beaten everybody so far, (we only played one game). We contribute a star hockey player when we send Clinansmith to play for the school team. Two of our energetic young bloods attempted to do the “Eliza Act” by crossing the Detroit RiveF on ice two inches thick, meaning to cheat the Ferry Company out of 20 cents, but the journey ended up with a swim. The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 67 C-2-U THE DELINQUENT FORM We are the Rang called C2B, And do we work? no not we. We dawdle some, And then look glum, When work we’re called to do, For that you know is not our cue. We wait for lunchtime eagerly, And work is finished meagrely, Anil life seems dull and out of sorts, Until it’s filled with such resorts, As eating pie, and drinking pop. We feel as though we could not stop. When teachers scold us we don’t care. We think they’re treating us unfair. We’re always ready to join in fun, In basketball we jump and run; We throw the ball with skill and zest, And try so hard to do it best. Some day we’ll buckle down to work, Though most that we do now is shirk; For we must work to earn our food, Whether or not we’re in the mood; So here we are now as you see. The most delinquent C2B. -O- SPORTS ANI) DEBATES C-2-B Our girls’ basketball team played a game against C2A and lost, the score being 3—2 in their favour. Then there were two debates held in Composition class. The first was: Resolved that the Technical School is more beneficial than the High School. The negative won. The second debate: Resolved— that the world is a better place to live in now than it was one hund¬ red and fifty years ago. The aff¬ irmative won. Preparations for the year book were made by several who wished to try (heir skill in winning one of the prizes offered. -o- CLASS NEWS OF C-2-D The Technics’ School Girls’ Ath¬ letic Banner was won by C-2-D, and aroused great comment among the forms interested in the activ¬ ities of the school sports. This banner is given to the class that succeeded in gaining the highest number of points at the school meet. Commercial 2D is a class of girls who have had one or two years’ experience in the Windsor Collegiate Institute or the Walker- vi lie High School. Among the contestants that took an active part in the winning of the shield are: Olive Weir, Angela Ouellette and Dorothy Gatacre, re¬ ceiving 10, 6 and 2 points respect¬ ively. • • • A is for Angela, the charming athlete; B is for Beatrice, the flapper petite; C is for Celia, with her cute little brogue; D is for Dorothy, a wild little rogue; E is for Ethel, who works at the show; F is for Florence, to her locker must go; G is for Gladys, so calm and at ease; H is for Helen, with her rare little •sneeze; 1 is for Ina, who studies so free; .1 is for Jean, from bonnie Dundee; K is for Katherine, who cleans off the slate; L is for Lynott, who always conies late; M is for Martha, a very good book-keep¬ er; N is for Norma, a better housekeeper; 0 is for Olive, a tiny wee lass; P is for Proudness, that reigns in our class; Q is for “Questions”, that Winnie asks daily; R is for Rorison, who relates her poems sadly; S is for Shirley, who is out every night; T is for Trombley, who just loves to type; U is for “Underwoods” the brand that’s worth while; V is for Virginia, with her cute little smile; W is for Winnie, a very bright maiden; X is for mistakes, on our books well laden; Y is for Years, that are passing us all; Z is for Zeitlin, who left us last fall. AUDREY FERRIS G8 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book CHUCKLES FROM C-2-D. Teacher: (to C2D) “Describe the pict¬ ures Keats paints for you in the poem we have just read.” Melba: (after a few minutes relapse), I have looked through this book three times and I can’t find a picture in it. Rose and Agnes are fast coming to the front. They are entering the chew¬ ing gum contest next June, as they have already chewed ten marks off their total. Teacher: What are Appellations? Florence: Why, mountains, of course. Teacher: “Find the Least Common De¬ nominator.” Inez: “Goodness, is that lost again?” � One Instructor to another: “Claire al¬ ways drops her voice at commas”. The Other: “Do you correct her?” The First: “Yes, I tell her to keep it up”. • Teacher: (to Eleanor) “What ' s the mat¬ ter with you?” Eleanor: “I’ve got a sliver under my nail”. Teacher:: “Yes, been scratching your head, eh? Teacher: “Strange, your recitation re¬ minds me of Quebec”. Winnie: “How is that?” Teacher: “Built on a bluff”. THINGS THAT AIN’T Holidays when the show is good. Easy Propositions in Arithmetic. School opening at 10 on Mondays. INTRODUCING C-2-E There is: Andrews, better known as Andy, While doing stunts sure is a dandy; And A wad, sometimes called Norm, Is the shiek of our form; Also Bertrand, whom we call Delp ' i At the piano he sure is a whelp. There are Larke, Keech and Muir, Who find to rank first is a great lure. We have Lafontaine, we call him Hookin, He sure knows his onions in bookkeepin’ And Poupard whom we call—flyin’, On the track he is always shinin’. There is Ganyon, Gunn and Hefferman, Whom we all tease so much; While in English, they get in Dutch. There is Swackhammer with a face so grim, But most of the girls fall for him. Also Dungy and Tuck, whom we call Chuck, Where ever they go they’re always in LUCK. There is Morand and Elliott, both called Alex; These two boys are always on deck. And AL, the Flying Frenchman, In every sport, he’s never a Benehman; But as you come in the door, something big you will meet; But don’t be surprised, for they’re Ed¬ wards’ feet. Also Brodeur and Dawson, Abe and Pare, All study together as happy as can be. OH! - - - me, I must not forget LARSHE, who is call- PEE WEE. There are two more I will also mention, While in sports they draw the people’s attention; And on the track how they do shine!

One two, One two, Three; Who are, who are, who are we? — T-2, T-2, T-2-B. Our form is room 204, Which is situated on the second floor. Our form is very big, you see, Because there’s only 2A and 2B. Our form has a few very bright scholars, Who come to school with nice clean collars; But athletics is really our best, And we have a number of distin ished pests! The hockey team which won great fame Gives our form a very good name; In basketball, we also shine, Because we have “Dick” who is six feet nine. But T2B is not a bad form, When you come to see us in the Early Morn. C. LANGLOIS. The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 69 FIRST YEAR When you enroll at the Tech, you spend the first few days getting acquainted with the school and teachers. The school is very big, and at first it is very bewildering attempting to find the rooms that you are bound for. Then the first sight of the shops and rows of ma¬ chines makes you wonder if y o u will ever become familiar with them. The same thing happens when you open the Science text¬ book; you see a maze of figures and diagrams mixed with long words and queer names that liter¬ ally make your head swim to look at them. After the first few days, how¬ ever, it is really surprising how easily things work out and how quickly the machines and text books become familiar. In less than a week you get settled down to the steady routine of work. Af¬ ter that, if you are a n average scholar, and study, you can get a- long easily. The sight of the Technical Tow¬ ers gives you a thrill of pride at the thought that you are a stud¬ ent there. MORRIS DUFFY, T1A. o C-l-A We ' l this is dear old CIA. And 1 guess that we are terribly smart; But when it comes to examinat ' on day, Someone kindly wheels our brains away In a donkey cart! A Smile Many of us are trying very hard to find something in our head fit to publish; watch the waste paper baskets in the hall! A terrible thing happened one day at noon, one of the CIA girls nearly choked on a piece of cel¬ ery in her celery soup; she wasn’t expecting it! There is only one girl in our form who has strong enough knees to enter the Public Speaking Con¬ test; the doctor says that there is still a chance for her to get cold feet. BEULAH ALTON. THOUGHTS IN SCHOOL Did you ever sit in the school room, and dream That you were fishing in yonder stream, Or that you were swimming in the brook, Instead of pondering o’er a book; When all at once you hear your name! And you hang your head in shame; For aye! you should have known the place, Instead of dreaming of winning a rae ELEANOR BURKE CLASSICAL CLUB The girls of CIA have formed a club called the “Classical Club”.

There is one who is tall, and built very lean, And wears a red coat, that is easily seen. The next one in line is of middling height; She might be snobbish, but she’s all right. And last but not least comes the sawed off shrimp Who is crazy and funny and does not primp. We make a great racket, but in the enu we mean well. We may pass this year, we can never tell; We stick right together all through the year. And are called the ‘Sandwich’’, or The Three Gigglateers. EDITH MACMILLAN. A CATASTROPHE Annie and Lillian were fooling, The teacher was alert; He said: “Take this waste-paper can And pick up all the dirt”. They looked just like garbage men, And acted like them, too; But alas! at the end of collecting, The bottom of the basket fell through. IRENE BELL. ALARM 1 think the sky is going to fall! The laziest girl in C1B did her homework last night. NEWS — C-l-C. Item One— Mr. Dean, our home teacher, was mar¬ ried during the Christmas holidays. The class sincerely wishes him the best of luck and bright year s to follow. Item Two— Charles Rusnok, an artist of no mean ability, recently showed his great talent by painting the scenery for the “Boston Tea Party”. It is rumoured that but for the timely appearance of Charles the play would have had to be abandoned. Item Three— WOULDN’T IT BE A MIRACLE IF: MacDonald did his homework! Bayes forgot his gum! Vie made a mistake in typing! MacDonald passed in Book-keeping! Jones handed in his penmanship budgets! Giles got ‘A’ in grammar! Lauzon ran the hundred in 14.3 seconds! Dool forgot his glasses!

EVAPORATION Instructor (to pupils): Who will give an example of evaporation? —(A few minutes silence). Instructor: Well, if your mother washes and hangs her clothes out on a warm dry day, what will happen? Bright Pupil: They will evaporate! We would advise Aggie to be careful about washing her face on a warm dry day. SOLID, TOO Teacher: Beryl, give me an example of the expansion of solids. Beryl: Well, um-er-a, I don’t know; but when I got hit on the head with a baseball bat it expanded. Teacher: Very good, Beryl, very good. • One of our best musicians is gradually picking up sufficient courage to enter the school orchestra. • • Doris M: I took first prize in the orator¬ ical contest.

They ' re a very good natured and jolly brood; Perhaps you wonder what form it could be Who always do just what they should ' : Well I ' m talking of C-l-D. FORM NEWS FROM C-l-E C-l-E is proud to know that the two highest marks in physiography among the first forms were obtained by this form. Margaret Thornell is always cracking jokes, so we call her Pat. This form is noted for not having many absentees. Iris Bond is always getting a headache in Shorthand Period. So sorry! Poor Iris! T-l-A T 1A has several athletes, chief of whom are Omar Drouillard who is on the Hockey team, and William McDonald who is on the Soccer team. In Basket¬ ball are McGarvey and Valentine on the Intermediate team, Zmarzly on the In¬ termediate and Junior teams, and B. Johnson on the Junior team. Weston and Valentine are on the Track team. Another notorious character in our midst is Clare Hinman who has the re¬ cord of being absent most frequetly. TIA ' s champion blackboard artists are Gerald Toop and Orlo Reid, whose skill 72 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book in drawing each other is really amazing. But then, practice makes perfect. Next comes Bennett. If he could twist his brain as he can twist his body, he would be some scholar! Peter Urie is the next victim. He is TIA ' s Goliath and he is the tallest per¬ son in the class. In fact he is so tall that he comes to school wearing a fur- lined cap and earmuffs. Our orators are Logan and Stockwell, who could persuade a hobo into spend¬ ing his last dollar on a book about what the well-dressed man will wear, and then make him think that it was a bargain and he was lucky to get it so cheap! Logan, Beecroft and Nyholm are by far the smallest boys in the class, but that is all right because if an old saying is true, there is good stuff in little bun¬ dles! MORRIS DUFFY NOAH REAUME T-l-D. OUR PRIDE Tech, Tech is good enough for me. The form that I like best is T.l.D. We have lots of fun with work besides, But we go to it willingly and keep up all our pride. ROY WALMSLEY T-l-E The boys from TIE were going to write half of the “Year Book”, but this is all! THEODORE LAZUREK THE CLASS OF T-l-E The boys by the windows all sit, In English and History they move a bit. The fifth space they think is time for fun, But sometimes forget lunch is yet to come. We’re fourteen girls, the boys outnum¬ ber us twice. But when we’re all together, we look pretty nice; At recess and lunch, in fact all the time, We march down the halls in double line. When Mr. Sirrs stands there, the boys are very quick; For they all know if they aren ' t, they’ll get the stick. When exams come every one works like a bee, For there is not another class as good as T. 1. E. IRENE WATSON OUR CLASS C-l-F Our form is the best in the school. Because our time we never fool; We know our work on examination day, Because our time we never waste away. Our class works from nine to three, For we are busy, as busy can be; But often times we have to be penalized, For this our form is not surprised. Edith Howse stands first in our class. With Sylvia Miller standing last. Some girls work, other girls play, For they will learn some other day. We like arithmetic and stenography; But forgot to mention physiography. We all hope to be stenographers, But some of us will be book-keepers. VIOLA EDDIE MUSICAL 1-F There are quite a number of pupils in C-l-F that can play the piano and other musical instruments including the saxaphone, violin, mouth-organ etc. Oh! I forgot to say that EVERYONE can play the Victrola with a little practice. BASKETBALL C-l-F played a basketball game with Wyandottte public school team and un¬ fortunately lost. We hope to have an¬ other game with Victoria School. The players are: Helen Semak, Muriel Long, Hazel Clinansmith, Bessie Water¬ man, Blondie Histed and Sylvia Miller. C.l.F is our class name; W.W.T. is our station. Typing and Stenography Is hoped to be our occupation. GERTRUDE HISTED JUNIOR TECHNICAL II. — Impossibilities — Would it not be funny if: William Begley was a studious person! Agnes Glenn was not always talking! Eva Wesloski was not always giggling! Earl Gourley could find his seat when he came into a room! Frank Doran forgot his gum! Bill Feeleg left the girls in peace! Christine Sime eoud not talk.! We are all very sorry to hear of Wil¬ liam Begley’s misfortune. He broke his knee in the gym while •playing basketball. The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 74 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book Bernice—(Home from her first day at school), Mother, the teacher asked a question at school that no one in the room could answer but me. Mother—(Proudly), That’s fine. What was it ? Bernice — She asked what our tele¬ phone number is. • • • Mathematics Saiah—I have added these figures up ton times, Mr Srigley. Mr. Srigley—Good girl. Sarah—And here are the ten answers, M r. Srigley. • • Economics Mr. Wood—What is life insurance, Phyllis? Phyllis: It ' s keeping a man poor all his life so he can die rich. • Ethel—(Who is taking piano lessons, to organ grinder), How many hours a day do you have to practice? “I’m sorry to have to do this,” said .Johnny, as he spread jam on the cat’s face but I can’t have mother thinking it’s me.” • “Ike Newton had the dope when he went to school.” “How’s that?” “They say he used to put quicksand in the teacher’s hourglass so as to short¬ en the period.” • Editor—Have you ever read proof? Applicant—No, who wrote it? Nellie—“Why was Solomon such a wise fellow?” Lenora—“Because he had so many wives to advise him. « � Teacher—What is the meaning of “quorum? Gatacre (brightly)- A place where fish are kept.” Gatacre (night before exams)—“Well Audrey, (flipping coin) if it comes heads we go to the Palace, and if it comes tails we go to the Capitol.” Audrey—“Yeh, and if it stands on the edge, we’ll go home and study.” • Things that are a Detriment to School Life: Oratorical Contests were discovered to give students palpitation of the heart. Pupils who have once entered into these contests are never the same again. Comptometers, Daltons, Burroughs— The men who invented these machines have done more harm than good. Most pupils do not use their brains anyhow, but things have been turning from bad to worse. You can ' t get a pupil to add up a line of figures without a machine. Physiography Teacher—What is Earth ? Pupil—A solid substance much desir¬ ed by the seasick. Dick—My dad is an Elk, a Lion, a Moose and an Eagle. . Mickey—What does it cost to see him ? The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 75 How to Advertise Jones answered an advertisement and sent a dollar for four pairs of socks. When they arrived, he looked them over and then wrote the advertiser: Socks received. The patterns are vile. I wouldn’t be seen on the street with them on.” Back Came the Answer: What are you objecting to? Didn’t we guarantee you wouldn’t wear them out?” True Enough Professor—When was Rome built” Student—At night. Professor—Where did you get your answer? Student—Well, Rome wasn’t built a day. At the Game Gatekeeper-How ' d you get in? Laforet—On my friend’s ticket. Gatekeeper—And where’s your friend? Iaiforet—Oh, he ' s at home looking for his ticket. Late Again Basil—So 1 hear you died on your way to the office and saved your life. Scotty—Yes, the principal would have taken it anyhow. The prize for the best humour has been awarded to Helen Garfat. The judges believed Helen deserved the prize because her jokes concerned the school and were the most original. 6 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book BUYERS OF PRINTING are fast learning that they get just what they pay for. Advertisers and buyers of printing used to look for bargains on every printing job. “How much?” was their middle name and printers had to under bid each other to get the job. To make any profit at all the printer had to skimp on press work and paper. Today, buyers of printing are fast learning that good work is obtained only from good print¬ ing on good paper. Beating down the printer’s price is “going out,” for it neither paid buyer nor printer. You get just what you pay for—good print¬ ing on good paper means more effective results— means profitable work and prosperity for the printer and buyer.
