WINNIE POTTS—Agile on her feet, light but aggressive; she is a good sport and possesses an accurate shot. VERNA RUDLING—She is a good de¬ fence, both fast and tall. The basket ball very rarely gets past her arms which she always uses to the best ad¬ vantage. ELIZABETH HALL—“Liz”, an adept player, plays the game quickly and craftily. She can be depended upon to get her opponent on all occasions. OLIVE WEIR—She is a snappy little guard, and deserves credit for holding her forward down to a limited number of baskets. -O- While our girls didn’t win the champ¬ ionship in their group, they came next to Windsor who always supports a strong team. - 0 - GIRLS’ ATHLETICS During the cooler months of the school term every girl plays basketball, while volley ball, baseball, badminton,,and ten¬ nis are played in the Spring. There is a competition between the forms in bas¬ ketball. All the first forms are in one group, while second, third and fourth compose the other group. The best teams in these two groups play off. Athletic pins are given to the members of the team winning the form championship. Five of these pins entitle the holder to a “merit pin.” INTERMEDIATE GIRLS’ BASKETBALL We offer our congratulations to the intermediate girls who represented the School in the basketball series last fall. - 0 - GIRLS’ SOFT BALL In the spring of 1927, Tech was successful in winning the county championship in soft ball.

THE SENIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM With the return of six members of last year’s team, Tech had the nucleus of a good team this year. With the addition of new pupils from other schools. Tech has been able to put on the floor one of the best teams it has ever had. Out of five games played, three have been won and two lost. Should Tech win from Windsor in the last game, the two schools will be tied for first place in the district. The first game of the season was lost to Windsor by a score of 17—14 in the last minute and a half of play. It was the cleanest, fastest game yet played. For the first time, a Tech girls’ first team beat Walkerville’s first team by a score of 28—21. Tech also won two games from Sarnia 22—19, 22- 20, but lost the return game with Walkerville 26—21. Evervone is proud of the team, which, under the leadership of Hel¬ en Garfat, has been so successful this year.

The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book •13 ?-f | GRADUATES’ SECTION j TECH MEMORIES One day as I wandered alone in the wood, I came to a place where a (riant elm tree stood. As I (razed on its beauty. softly I sighed, As (rraroful it towered aloft in its pride, When of a sudden a vision appeared, And where the elm tree stood the Tech Towers reared.

With the great curving driveway lead¬ ing up to the door; The clock in its place still marked off the hours. And the beds on the lawn were ablaze with bright flowers. 1 entered, and stood alone in the halls, And silently gazed at the scenes on the the walls. Then memories came flooding back thru the years. At the thought of old friends my eyes dimmed with tears. And still as I gazed, all faded away, The elm tree beside me seemed softly to sway, And bending, drooped ’round me its ten¬ der green leaves, And whispered so softly of my Tech Memories. CHARLES FISHER - 0 - GRADUATES DANCE The graduates dance was, of course, a great event, and was looked forward to by all the grad¬ uates and their friends. It was held on January 13th, 1928, in the big gymnasium of the Technical School. Mr. O’Neill certainly deserves a great deal of thanks for the way in which he decorated the gym. It looked beautiful with its differ¬ ent coloured streamers and its
