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. IRENE BELL—C1B. — EXCHANGES — Tilt: TECH ANNUAL (New Westmin¬ ster, B. C.). A table of contents and an exchange column would be a good addition to your magazine. THE GRUMBLER (Kitchener Water¬ loo C. I. Vocational School). You have plenty of interesting sports news hut we would like to see an exchange column. THE COLLEGIAN (Stratford C.I.). You have a fine magazine. There are a number of good cartoons, but we would like to see a table of contents. THE ARROW (Eastern Junior High School, Pontiac, Mich.). A small publi¬ cation but you have the right idea. Why not have some photos and cartoons? THE ORACLE (Woodstock C. I., Wood- stock). An interesting magazine. Why not have a French Corner? THE SCREECH OWL (Bowmanville High Schocti). An excellent magazine for a school having so small a teaching staff. More cartoons would be a good addition. Jokes are rather scattered.

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. Care delights to see you frowning, Laughs to see you sigh; Turn a smiling face upon her, Quick the dame will fly. ROMA LAVALLEE—C1D. -o- DAWN OF THE MORNING Slowly the darkness steals away Followed by the laughing moon; The stars although they long to stay, Dance out and vanish, none tot) soon. 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. The moon is hiding yet, But soon it will appear. And then the earth will be full of light For the glad New Year. FLORENCE DONALDSON—C1D

The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 25 ? 4 This year we have received a number of excellent magazines which are very welcome, and we hope that an exchange will continue in the follow¬ ing years. As we have read, we have felt that we belonged to a larger community, in which we are sharing the same ideals and aspirations. We have enjoyed reviewing these magazines, and trust that the criticisms will be received in the spirit in which they are given. TECOMERON (Sault Stc. Marie Tech¬ nical and Commercial High School). Good material which is well arranged. It would be better to keep the advert¬ isements in the front of the book. AUDITORIUM (Owen Sound Collegiate Vocational Institute). The advertise¬ ments should be kept in the front and back of the book. Otherwise the Maga¬ zine is very good. BLUE AND WHITE (Walkerville Coll¬ egiate). A fine publication for a first attempt. TORPEDO (High School of Commerce Toronto). Your material is very good hut your pictures are too small. TIMES (Kingston C. T., Kingston, Ont). Your material is very good hut a great deal overdone on the Who’s Who. TEK (Hamilton Technical School). A fine piece of work. We envy your car¬ toons. VOX LYCEI (Lisgar Collegiate, Ott¬ awa). Yours is the best paper we have received yet. Excellent in every way. SAINT ANDREW’S COLLEGE RE¬ VIEW (Aurora, Ont.). An interesting sports magazine. THE REVEILLE (Toronto, Ont.). Gou.l work—but your advertisements are too scattered. ACTA STUDENTIUM (Vaughan Road High School. Toronto). A few short stories and an exchange column would improve your paper immensely. ACTA NOSTRA (Guelph Collegiate- Vocational School). You have some splendid cartoons and your literary sect¬ ion is good, but we suggest that you also place your advertisements by them¬ selves. THE VULCAN (Central Technical School Toronto). Your magazine would be greatly improved by the addition of a table of contents. THE ECHOES (Peterborough C. I.) A well-written and well-balanced magazine. THE HERMES (Humberside C. I., To¬ ronto). We can make no criticisms of your magazine.
