32 The Wintlsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book THE ROTARY SYSTEM During the second year of the Technical School’s operations, it was found that the attendance was so large that the institution was becoming overcrowded. It would have been unreasonable, of course, to refuse entrance to those apply¬ ing for admission, so some plan had to be devised to take care of this surplus. Upon inquiry it was found that at all times during the day there were certain rooms empty, either class rooms or shops, and after much consideration it was decided to give the Rotary System a tryout. This system would keep all rooms occupied at all times. The following will outline this plan. In the morning, the pupils secure any books which will be re¬ quired for the classes until recess. At nine o’clock they assemble in the home room, and the class teacher marks the attendance sheet. The students then form in line and march in single file to the class denoted by the time table, for a period of thirty-five minutes study. This is continued until re¬ cess, when the pupils are dismissed so that they may again go to their lockers and obtain any books which will be needed for the next group of periods until lunch time. There are three lunch spaces, the first of these beginning at twenty-five minutes after eleven and the ' last at twenty-five min¬ utes to one These spaces are of the same duration as the preceding ones, thirty-five minutes each. By the old system, the teachers had to decide which books thev would need for the subjects whicB were to be taught and then waste time walking to the classes, while by the Rotary System the pupils walk from room to room. This lit¬ tle intermission rests them and makes them more fit for the next subject. Added to this,, every room is occupied at all times. One disadvantage is that the pupils have to carry their books around with them, and therefore these are sometimes lost. This comparison of the advant¬ ages and disadvantages of the systems will clearly illustrate the superiority of the Rotary System.

The production of such a performance means much assiduous practice, but it has as a reward, entertainment, develop¬ ment of talent, and taste for a higher class of recreation and appreciation. None of the parti¬ cipants will ever regret the time spent. The opera itself is a happy combination of words and music which, although written by two different men, fit one another perfectly. Villainy, tragedy, rom¬ ance and love are all portrayed in the same happy, entertaining man¬ ner. We are not asked to cry, or shudder, but to simply enjoy our¬ selves in comfort. In the preparation of this opera, we have had the assistance of a large staff, in preparing the mus¬ ic, directing the dramatic pro¬ duction, the costuming, the stag¬ ing and lighting effects. Their efforts are much appreciated by the school at large. We are indebted to Messrs Fred Lodge, Leslie McNamara, a n d Lockhart Johnston for taking the major parts of Ralph, the captain, and the admiral, parts calling for more training than can be expect¬ ed of boys in our school.

Last year’s team came very close to achieving the crown of its ambitions in the form of the Junior W. 0. S. S. A. champion¬ ship. The Stratford Collegiate team were however a little too ex¬ perienced. The present winter has been a very successful one. In spite of the fact that the Windsor and Walkervillo Collegiate teams were much stronger than before, our boys won the group champion¬ ship with four successive victor¬ ies. The scores against Windsor HOCKEY Hockey is the fastest and most spectacular game in the world. The rapid and sustained action and the constant shifting of the play from one goal to the other makes it a succession of thrills for the specta¬ tors and sometimes of spills for the players. It is a sport which demands skill and endurance, and only those who carefully observe the laws of health and hygiene find themselves able to take part.
