The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 67 C-2-U THE DELINQUENT FORM We are the Rang called C2B, And do we work? no not we. We dawdle some, And then look glum, When work we’re called to do, For that you know is not our cue. We wait for lunchtime eagerly, And work is finished meagrely, Anil life seems dull and out of sorts, Until it’s filled with such resorts, As eating pie, and drinking pop. We feel as though we could not stop. When teachers scold us we don’t care. We think they’re treating us unfair. We’re always ready to join in fun, In basketball we jump and run; We throw the ball with skill and zest, And try so hard to do it best. Some day we’ll buckle down to work, Though most that we do now is shirk; For we must work to earn our food, Whether or not we’re in the mood; So here we are now as you see. The most delinquent C2B. -O- SPORTS ANI) DEBATES C-2-B Our girls’ basketball team played a game against C2A and lost, the score being 3—2 in their favour. Then there were two debates held in Composition class. The first was: Resolved that the Technical School is more beneficial than the High School. The negative won. The second debate: Resolved— that the world is a better place to live in now than it was one hund¬ red and fifty years ago. The aff¬ irmative won. Preparations for the year book were made by several who wished to try (heir skill in winning one of the prizes offered. -o- CLASS NEWS OF C-2-D The Technics’ School Girls’ Ath¬ letic Banner was won by C-2-D, and aroused great comment among the forms interested in the activ¬ ities of the school sports.

66 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book C-3-C HEARS THESE A Trial Balance is — having diff¬ iculty. Don’t be so loquacious. When did the dark ages begin? Now just a few words about the Hockey Team. Who is doing the talking now ? Please hand in this exercise for to¬ morrow. ■-o- SAYINGS OF FAMOUS STUDENTS A. Wandor—Say, Kiddie! F,. Barash—Please, may we go down to the auditorium to practice? F. Miller—Girls, you should see Frank! .1. Goulin—Oh! I was absent for that. K. Chapman—Oh! yes, and I went on a sleigh ride last night. F. St. Amour—Have you your ticket for the game? M. Leigh—I don’t understand it, even yet. -o- — SECOND FORM — When pupils enter school life as second formers, they feel a little more responsible than they did the year before. They perhaps show real enthusiasm in sports, they are more eligible to compete wth high¬ er forms, and they show more in¬ terest in their school work. This year the second formers alone were allowed to compete for the junior cup given for the best Tech United programme. In the oratorical contest, a second form girl won second place in the junior girls’ competition. A boy or girl in second form be¬ gins to feel that the school is his home, and that he owes a good deal to it. For this reason, it is here that a real school spirit begins to manifest itself and to develop. AGNES WAIDE ' -o- C-2-A C2A played a very successful game in basketball last term again¬ st C2B. Both teams were evenly matched and put up a hard fight. At the end of the period the score was 3—2 in favour of 2A. Two interesting debates were he ' d in C2A form. HEARD IN THE CLASS Class Teacher: Now, class, for homework take exercises 70, 71, 72, 73 and 74. Olive Shurak: I haven’t any idea Noella Bertrand: Let me see the mirror, Mary. Anna Warsh: Well, you see, it was this way. Mary Berbynuk: Who’s got my apple? Daisy Curtis: Do my face and hair look all right? Edythe Alexander: I was absent. Miss. Agnes Beauchamp: Do it yourself, I had to do it myself. Doris Payne: Lend me that book please. Pamela Todd: I hope I get 100 in Geo¬ graphy. Toba Sherman: What do we have for homework, Miss Cragg? Mary Doloughen: It takes the Irish to do it. Helen Smadu: Oh! Boy. Bella Summers: Say, listen! Hattie Ion: I wasn’t talking. Vivian Howe: I read that ltook, but I don ' t like it. T-2-A T2A is progressing rapidly in the way of knowledge and sport. We all get 100 ' . on our exams—50. We put on a play “The Boston Tea Par¬ ty”, and with T2B we made it the best play put on by any class in “Tech United”. We expect to win the cup. We are not only literary bat we have a winning basketball team, having beaten everybody so far, (we only played one game). We contribute a star hockey player when we send Clinansmith to play for the school team. Two of our energetic young bloods attempted to do the “Eliza Act” by crossing the Detroit RiveF on ice two inches thick, meaning to cheat the Ferry Company out of 20 cents, but the journey ended up with a swim.

G8 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book CHUCKLES FROM C-2-D. Teacher: (to C2D) “Describe the pict¬ ures Keats paints for you in the poem we have just read.” Melba: (after a few minutes relapse), I have looked through this book three times and I can’t find a picture in it. Rose and Agnes are fast coming to the front. They are entering the chew¬ ing gum contest next June, as they have already chewed ten marks off their total. Teacher: What are Appellations? Florence: Why, mountains, of course. Teacher: “Find the Least Common De¬ nominator.” Inez: “Goodness, is that lost again?” » One Instructor to another: “Claire al¬ ways drops her voice at commas”. The Other: “Do you correct her?” The First: “Yes, I tell her to keep it up”. • Teacher: (to Eleanor) “What ' s the mat¬ ter with you?” Eleanor: “I’ve got a sliver under my nail”. Teacher:: “Yes, been scratching your head, eh? Teacher: “Strange, your recitation re¬ minds me of Quebec”. Winnie: “How is that?” Teacher: “Built on a bluff”. THINGS THAT AIN’T Holidays when the show is good. Easy Propositions in Arithmetic. School opening at 10 on Mondays. INTRODUCING C-2-E There is: Andrews, better known as Andy, While doing stunts sure is a dandy; And A wad, sometimes called Norm, Is the shiek of our form; Also Bertrand, whom we call Delp ' i At the piano he sure is a whelp. There are Larke, Keech and Muir, Who find to rank first is a great lure. We have Lafontaine, we call him Hookin, He sure knows his onions in bookkeepin’ And Poupard whom we call—flyin’, On the track he is always shinin’. There is Ganyon, Gunn and Hefferman, Whom we all tease so much; While in English, they get in Dutch. There is Swackhammer with a face so grim, But most of the girls fall for him. Also Dungy and Tuck, whom we call Chuck, Where ever they go they’re always in LUCK. There is Morand and Elliott, both called Alex; These two boys are always on deck. And AL, the Flying Frenchman, In every sport, he’s never a Benehman; But as you come in the door, something big you will meet; But don’t be surprised, for they’re Ed¬ wards’ feet. Also Brodeur and Dawson, Abe and Pare, All study together as happy as can be. OH! - - - me, I must not forget LARSHE, who is call- PEE WEE. There are two more I will also mention, While in sports they draw the people’s attention; And on the track how they do shine! For they’re always first to cross the line; They are HERAGE and - - me; We’re the last of our form C2E. E. AWAI). THE ATHLETIC FORM T-2-B One two. One two, One two, Three; Who are, who are, who are we? — T-2, T-2, T-2-B. Our form is room 204, Which is situated on the second floor. Our form is very big, you see, Because there’s only 2A and 2B. Our form has a few very bright scholars, Who come to school with nice clean collars; But athletics is really our best, And we have a number of distin ished pests! The hockey team which won great fame Gives our form a very good name; In basketball, we also shine, Because we have “Dick” who is six feet nine. But T2B is not a bad form, When you come to see us in the Early Morn. C. LANGLOIS.
