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

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.

The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 2 ? TECHNICAL UNITED EXECUTIVE Back Row Vaughn Courrier, Stanley I.urke, Mr. W. D. Lowe, Mr. C. Adsett, Basil Robertson, Louis Fortin. 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. Be it theirs to bear it high! On with Tech United! J. M. ROGERS -o- OUR SCHOOL YELLS Blue and red, fight! fight! Blue and red, fight! fight! Who fight, we fight, Blue and red, fight! fight!
