70 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book The Spare Minute Oh, what will you do with the minute to spare? The Kay little, stray little minute to spare; That comes from the clime Of old “Plenty of Time”, With never a worry and never a care. Oh, what shall we do with the minute to spare? The dear little, queer little minute to spare; Who’s only content, So long as he ' s spent, No matter however, whenever, or where We ' d better take care of that minute to spare; The free little, wee little minute to spare; And never refuse That minute to use; It always is ready some burden to ben - KATHLEEN MATHERS, CIA. RIDDLES (1) What river can be turned into use¬ ful elothes? Answer: Tweed. (2) What puddinK is most serviceable in a game of baseball? Answer: A good batter. (3) Why is the letter ‘P’ like a Roman Emperor? Answer: Because it’s Nero (near—O) — C-l-B — THE THREE GIGGLATEERS The Three Gigglateers, you all know them well, They can laugh and talk, but they can¬ not spell; History to them is absolutely no cinch, When asked any questions you shoulu see them flinch! There is one who is tall, and built very lean, And wears a red coat, that is easily seen. The next one in line is of middling height; She might be snobbish, but she’s all right. And last but not least comes the sawed off shrimp Who is crazy and funny and does not primp. We make a great racket, but in the enu we mean well. We may pass this year, we can never tell; We stick right together all through the year. And are called the ‘Sandwich’’, or The Three Gigglateers. EDITH MACMILLAN. A CATASTROPHE Annie and Lillian were fooling, The teacher was alert; He said: “Take this waste-paper can And pick up all the dirt”. They looked just like garbage men, And acted like them, too; But alas! at the end of collecting, The bottom of the basket fell through. IRENE BELL. ALARM 1 think the sky is going to fall! The laziest girl in C1B did her homework last night. NEWS — C-l-C. Item One— Mr. Dean, our home teacher, was mar¬ ried during the Christmas holidays. The class sincerely wishes him the best of luck and bright year s to follow. Item Two— Charles Rusnok, an artist of no mean ability, recently showed his great talent by painting the scenery for the “Boston Tea Party”. It is rumoured that but for the timely appearance of Charles the play would have had to be abandoned. Item Three— WOULDN’T IT BE A MIRACLE IF: MacDonald did his homework! Bayes forgot his gum! Vie made a mistake in typing! MacDonald passed in Book-keeping! Jones handed in his penmanship budgets! Giles got ‘A’ in grammar! Lauzon ran the hundred in 14.3 seconds! Dool forgot his glasses! Lauzon forgot his girl’s telephone num- . ber!

The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 69 FIRST YEAR When you enroll at the Tech, you spend the first few days getting acquainted with the school and teachers. The school is very big, and at first it is very bewildering attempting to find the rooms that you are bound for. Then the first sight of the shops and rows of ma¬ chines makes you wonder if y o u will ever become familiar with them. The same thing happens when you open the Science text¬ book; you see a maze of figures and diagrams mixed with long words and queer names that liter¬ ally make your head swim to look at them. After the first few days, how¬ ever, it is really surprising how easily things work out and how quickly the machines and text books become familiar. In less than a week you get settled down to the steady routine of work. Af¬ ter that, if you are a n average scholar, and study, you can get a- long easily. The sight of the Technical Tow¬ ers gives you a thrill of pride at the thought that you are a stud¬ ent there. MORRIS DUFFY, T1A. o C-l-A We ' l this is dear old CIA. And 1 guess that we are terribly smart; But when it comes to examinat ' on day, Someone kindly wheels our brains away In a donkey cart! A Smile Many of us are trying very hard to find something in our head fit to publish; watch the waste paper baskets in the hall! A terrible thing happened one day at noon, one of the CIA girls nearly choked on a piece of cel¬ ery in her celery soup; she wasn’t expecting it! There is only one girl in our form who has strong enough knees to enter the Public Speaking Con¬ test; the doctor says that there is still a chance for her to get cold feet. BEULAH ALTON. THOUGHTS IN SCHOOL Did you ever sit in the school room, and dream That you were fishing in yonder stream, Or that you were swimming in the brook, Instead of pondering o’er a book; When all at once you hear your name! And you hang your head in shame; For aye! you should have known the place, Instead of dreaming of winning a rae ELEANOR BURKE CLASSICAL CLUB The girls of CIA have formed a club called the “Classical Club”. They spend very pleasant evenings in each girl’s home, enjoying games, sewing and re¬ freshments. All those who wish to join may do so. by finding when the meet¬ ings are, from one of our members.

EVAPORATION Instructor (to pupils): Who will give an example of evaporation? —(A few minutes silence).
