60 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book •LAFFS OF COMMERCIAL SPECIAL Mr. Morrison claims that it is very necessary to have an emergency brake on the tongue during Geography study. • Teacher (after shorthand test): Please hand in your papers before you pass out, so I’ll have something to remember you all by. • Rose Mechanic (to teacher): Quick! where can I hide? Teacher: In the filing cabinet; nobody can ever find anything there. • • • Regina: What makes your hair so red, Fitz? itz: My hair is so wiry, that every time I wash it, it rusts. -O- FORM NEWS Commercial C4 in C4 there is the strangest group in the school. It is collected from four forms in the school, (that is forms that used to be) last year’s 3A, 3B, 3C and Special. 3A has the majority in C4 with a total of 7, 3B comes next with 6, Special next with 3, and 3C last with a lonely 1. Beatrice McLister is in C4 for the bookkeeping, and some day she will know all there is to know. Then there is Dot Cunningham. She is there for book-keeping, and what she doesn’t know, she gets from the 3B boys and C4 girls, with that winning smile of hers. Violet Alston is next. She seems to be fast at shorthand. Marion White, the sole survivor of 3C, is taking bookkeeping when she can get it, but she wants to do it her own way. Anna Pinoo is a good girl when she isn’t away on a long trip to some inland city. Winnifred Burton is next in line. At this writ¬ ing she is looking for a pair of ga¬ loshes, which she had missed while answering calls on the switchboard. (P.S. She has another pair now which, after a gruelling cross-ex¬ amination, were proved to be hers). Marianne Perks, her part¬ ner last week on the switchboard, seems to have lost a book while down there, (and also ten marks for losing it). Leah Fox has not been with us long, but I have found out she travels quite a bit, (to Rose ' and). Sarah Hughes is a big favorite in our class, even though they do tease her about her ances¬ try. (Scotch, of Irish descent). Ma¬ bel McCarthy takes long car rides every morning and night. Irene Gibbs comes before our view now. Her favorite hobby is writing ess¬ ays about the Dictaphone. Phyllis must be good. She is an ex 3B student. We have two basketball stars in our room in the persons of Helen Garfat and Lizzie Hall. They seem to get their speed on the typewriter from this source. Maybe it would be worth trying. Leta Knight and Bernice Lane are well known; Leta would wring my neck if I said anything about her anyway. Evelyn Overton, although at the tail of the list, is by no means down there in her class standing. She is at the head of the class and sets a pace hard to keep up with. If I have left anyone out of the list, don’t threaten me. It will be hard on me if they all start com¬ plaining, because I am the only boy in the form, with the exception of Joe DesRosiers, who cannot sup¬ port me because of his size and his being very much given over to be¬ ing late or absent. HUGH MACDONALD. -o- CAN YOU IMAGINE— Sarah Hughes sitting still for five minutes? Leta Knight doing some typing for . herself?

Last year, at this time, all the pupils in the fourth form were look¬ ing forward to graduation from the three year course. Now some of us are looking forward to fourth year graduation while others are looking forward to working in an office. Of course, all of third form last year are not in fourth this year, but I am sure some of them would like nothing better than to come back to “Tech” again. In our course this year, a dict¬ aphone and switchboard have been added to our already numerous business appliances. Every pupil learns how to use them ,so that he will be efficient and expert in the use of them when “work in the of¬ fice” begins. This year, as in other years, fourth form has proved successful, as the pupils have been given an opportunity to do many things they cou’d not do in their busier third year. SARAH HUGHES, Commercial 4. -o- COMMERCIAL SPECIAL “Praise Our Tech.” Praise your school, praise your friend; Praise the Tech that you attend. Praise the home in which you’re dwellin ' Praise the game for which you’re yell¬ ing. Praise the students all about you; They can’t get along without you. But success will sooner find them. If they have the Tech behind them. Praise for every forward movement; Praise for every slight improvement. Praise our shorthand, praise our typing, Praise the man that teaches writing. Please don’t be a ruthless Knocker; Please don’t be a progress blocker. If you’d make our Tech much better. Praise it to the highest letter. AUDREY DAVIS.

The Windsor-Walkerville Tech¬ nical School is a business school. Our aim in coming to Tech is to receive an education in the ways of earning a living. What the busi¬ ness world needs today is active men and women, and the graduates of 1928 are trained to conduct their business in an experienced manner. In the Commercial Department of our school, two main lines are I aught, the Secretarial course for the Girls and the Accountancy for the Boys. With all the latest de¬ signs of business machines, our training is complete. The different
