T-4 TECHNICAL FOUR T-4 Champions in Basketball The fact has just been brought to light that T4 has the champion basketball team of the school. Two years ago, we defeated all Technic¬ al and Commercial forms. Since then we have not lost a game, so we still claim the championship of the school.

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

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?

02 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book Office Systems taken up are sim¬ ilar to the ones used in large con¬ cerns today. In the Technical Department of our school, work along mechanical lines is taught. Machine Shop Practice, Tool making, Carpentry and Electricity are the main lines taken up. The equipment in both the Commercial and Technical de¬ partments is the best that can be secured. The grads of this year who will go out into the business world as stenographers, mechanics, book¬ keepers, builders etc., have much to thank Mr. Lowe and his capable staff of teachers for. JOE MORRISON. -o- FORM C-3-A There is no doubt that C3A gives great credit to our school. I am sure that all our teachers will as¬ sure you, as I do, that we are wor¬ thy of the name C3“A”. There is no lack of talent in C3A. We have girls who are noted for their good business ability, those who are of a musical turn, and those who excel in art. In C.3.A. we have two well-known orators, Hilda Haisman and Maude Holding. It is to form C3A that the school basketball team is indebted for three perfectly snappy players. It was a C3A girl who was elected to the office of treasurer of Tech Un¬ ited. So, you see, we are in every¬ thing. We are certainly proud of our form. -o- ‘THE HAPPY FORM” C-3-A I’ll introduce you to C3A., A form that’s happy, joyous and gay. There are thirty-two girls in this class; And I’ll guarantee that there’s not a lass Who does not love this Dear Old Tech., And hates it not a single speck. And when it comes to work—we’re there, Our ears pinned back and brilliant- ine in our hair. In typewriting we have won many awards. For knowing all the different key¬ boards. Then, when to shorthand with notebooks we go, Everyone knows that we are not slow. And if C3A you would like to meet, Please come to room 313 and take a seat; But, if our room you cannot find, Choose the noisiest line and fall in behind. For the Teachers say we are the Talkers of all, Whether we’re in gym, or class, or hall; But I’m sure you’ll love us all the same, And some day, as stenographers we’ll win fame. -o- FAMOUS SAYINGS —BY FAMOUS TEACHERS. We’ll have the next two letters for home-work. Well just note a few questions on this part of the work. Please read the last note I gave you, Miss- When the whistle blows, fall in line. There must be line in every hat. I look into your faces and I see blank expressions. Put lunches and everything else away and get to work. Mr. Sirrs: Joe, if you had 5 oranges and 5 apples, and you gave John nine- tenths, what would you have? Joe: I’d have my head examined.
