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!

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
