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. Hockey in the Windsor-Walker¬ ville Technical School is now five

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.

34 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book were 13-0 and 6-1, and against Walkerville 5-1 and 5-1. De I,a Salle Collegiate of Lon¬ don were Tech’s opponents in the semi-finals. The first game of the series was played in Windsor be¬ fore a large crowd. De La Salle backed by the marvellous goal¬ tending Molly, put up a wonderful fight for half the game. Then Tech, ran wild to score a 9-2 triumph. The return game in Lon¬ don also went to Tech by a 3-1 count. Then came the finals. The mighty Stratford Collegiate, cham¬ pions for the past two years, and fresh from the conquest of Mitch¬ ell, swept into town. The teams played at a terrific pace. For thirty-two minutes there was no score on either side—and then dur¬ ing the last eight minutes of the second period Tech scored three. The game ended with Tech, lead¬ ing 4-1. The return game in Stratford was even more thrilling. A large delegation of loyal supporters hir ed a moving van and journeyed to Stratford. This magnificent support inspired the team. For forty-six minutes Stratford and Tech, battled without a score. One team had to weaken, and this time it was Stratford. Tech, scored three goals in quick succession, and won the game and the round. The championship, eagerly sought for five years was ours at last. %X ' 4 % • - 04 ' 4. y e -m ? In winning the Junior W. 0. S. S. A. championship for 1928. Tech, compiled a marvellous re¬ cord.. Eight league games were played and all were won by large scores. During these games Tech, scored forty-eight times, while one opponents were able to score but 7. This record has never before been equalled in high school hock¬ ey, and will likely stand for many years. The following is a brief sketch of the players: Teno (2)—Goal—Charlie is the captain and is a Windsor boy. He used to play defence, but when he came to Tech, he blossomed forth into a goalie. He stops ' em. Tobin (2)—Defence—Tom is a veteran from last year’s team. He has just one ambition in life and that is to meet Stratford again. On trips away from home he is the life of the party. Langlois (3)—Defence—Bud is at present the most illustrious cit¬ izen of LaSalle. He is in constant training and is achieving fame a ' a goal getter. He and “Toby” make a powerful defence pair. Cockell (4)—Right Wing—Dav¬ ie fought valiantly against Strat¬ ford last year. He plays a good combination game, checks hard, and is an all round valuable player. Hastie (5)--Centre—George leads the Tech, forward line on their goal-getting expeditions. He is fast and clever, and is a heavy scorer. The motto of opposing teams is “Watch Hastie.” Todd (6)—Left Wing—Alex teams up with Hastie on the for¬ ward line. He assists in a great many scores, and scores not a few goals himself. Niemi (7)—Right Wing—Ernie hails from Riverside, where hockey players are born not made. He p’avs his position weM, and is a valuable player both on attack and defence.
