Even shrewd business men occasionally find that little or nothing returns from certain ventures. How gratifying then a geniune gilt edge investment is! A young man graduating from Tech, has little money, but he has much time. How shrewdly he in¬ vests his first few years after leaving school will pi-obably decide his future progress and happiness. Here we have a photo of a group of young men from Tech who have completed a three years’ apprent¬ iceship in Tool and Die Making or Electrical Work at the Ford Motor

The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 47 Just si ■]? inside this airy gym., and see the classes there; They are swinging clubs, and play¬ ing basketball. Their instructor is a pippin, Miss Dumsday, if you please; But you’d never know her now, she’s grown so tall. Here’s a bonny kilted laddie frae the noble Campbell clan, We always knew he’d be the chief of these; Ces. likes his kilts in Summer, but in the Winter and the Fall, He much prefers protection ’round the knees. 1 think that I can prophecy the life of Beta Knight; She tried to talk with spirits in the gloom. But when a ghost appeared. Beta almost died of fright, And the ghost laughed hollowly, and left the room. Down the ice I see come charging on a pair of gleaming skates, A hockey player of great renown and fame; And as I gaze upon him, he sits down upon the ice, Gordon Anderson is this bright star’s name. For one girl in the future, there’s a dreadful fate in store; She had her hair cut far beyond recall. And now style has decreed, that long hair shall be worn, I wonder what will happen to Lizzie Hall. Then T saw old Tommy Simpson, who’d sworn he’d never wed. Ere he would lose his freedom, he would die; And there beside him stalked his mistress tall and very grim. And as I looked at Tom’s sad feat¬ ures, softly did I sigh. Now I think that I shall tell a word of Bernice Lane; Literature will claim her for it’s own; Electa McDade, too, I think will win success amain, And far and wide her name shall then be known. One day a voice we all know will be heard upon the air, And by its beauty will you all en¬ thrall; It may sound at first like static, but if you persevere, You will find it is Julius Goldman after all. I see Pearl Banglois as a star upon the silver screen, I he hero of many a super play; Now let us gaze for just a while upon another scene Of Nellie Ostrowski as a cook some day. There are some folks say that Wilf. McArthur was dropped upon his head, When he was but a baby two or three. Mac’s none the worse for that, it’s made him wise instead; Oh ! what a lovely policeman he will be. 1 wandered in a circus where the freaks were all on show, And I saw a fat man sitting on a chair; Beside him stood a strong man, Who could twist a bar of steel; T hey were Mearl Menard and Par¬ ent, I declare. And now the vision’s fading, and I can see no more; The future life has vanished quite away. But if sometime in years to come, life seems but a bore, Just read this prophecy, and then be gay.

After graduating the following summer, she attended the Train¬ ing College in Hamilton and obtain¬ ed her certificate which qualified he r to teach Millinery in any Tech¬ nical School in Ontario. «- VALEDICTORY Mr. Chairman, teachers, stud¬ ents,, ex-students and friends of the Windsor - Walkerville Technical School: To us, whose turn it is to-night to take leave of the active part in the pleasant duties and associat¬ ions of this school, has come a full realization of just what this com¬ mencement means to us. For the last three years, we thought the day would never come, this day when school books would be put aside forever and we would take our places in the assembly line of this great industrial and commerc¬ ial world. Many of us have a ' ready become acquainted with this world of busi¬ ness of which we have so long been dreaming, and find it vastly diff¬ erent from the life here in Tech., and perhaps greatly different from what we had anticipated. Although new interest now takes first pos¬ iti on in our attention, there will al¬ ways be a special place in our hearts for dear old Tech. For our teachers we have but one message, “Thank you”. Thank you for the efforts which you have ex¬ tended to help us. Thank you for your personal interest and many kindnesses. You have tried to give us something of your own broad outlook on life. We will not forget. I know that I am speaking on behalf of my class when I say that we do not want to be cast aside. Let us still be a part of the Tech¬ nical School and this need not be “Good-Bye”. So, as we leave our educational home to enroll in the large school of life, we extend a wish that as long as the Windsor-Walkerville Technical School exists, it will con¬ tinue to flourish as it has in the past few years, and that in the years to come our best citizens will be able to point with pride to this school where they received their education.
