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.
