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 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
