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.

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.

26 The Winilsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book TECH UNITED Soon after the Hal ' s of Tech rang with merry laughter, clatter¬ ing steps, and the clamour of voices last September, the activities of the Tech United Society were re¬ sumed. 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. C3B and C3C. — Tech United again assembled on February 2. to witness a program arranged by the commercial forms C3C and C3P». ■ - JT
