72 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book in drawing each other is really amazing. But then, practice makes perfect. Next comes Bennett. If he could twist his brain as he can twist his body, he would be some scholar! Peter Urie is the next victim. He is TIA ' s Goliath and he is the tallest per¬ son in the class. In fact he is so tall that he comes to school wearing a fur- lined cap and earmuffs. Our orators are Logan and Stockwell, who could persuade a hobo into spend¬ ing his last dollar on a book about what the well-dressed man will wear, and then make him think that it was a bargain and he was lucky to get it so cheap! Logan, Beecroft and Nyholm are by far the smallest boys in the class, but that is all right because if an old saying is true, there is good stuff in little bun¬ dles! MORRIS DUFFY NOAH REAUME T-l-D. OUR PRIDE Tech, Tech is good enough for me. The form that I like best is T.l.D. We have lots of fun with work besides, But we go to it willingly and keep up all our pride. ROY WALMSLEY T-l-E The boys from TIE were going to write half of the “Year Book”, but this is all! THEODORE LAZUREK THE CLASS OF T-l-E The boys by the windows all sit, In English and History they move a bit. The fifth space they think is time for fun, But sometimes forget lunch is yet to come. We’re fourteen girls, the boys outnum¬ ber us twice. But when we’re all together, we look pretty nice; At recess and lunch, in fact all the time, We march down the halls in double line. When Mr. Sirrs stands there, the boys are very quick; For they all know if they aren ' t, they’ll get the stick. When exams come every one works like a bee, For there is not another class as good as T. 1. E. IRENE WATSON OUR CLASS C-l-F Our form is the best in the school. Because our time we never fool; We know our work on examination day, Because our time we never waste away. Our class works from nine to three, For we are busy, as busy can be; But often times we have to be penalized, For this our form is not surprised. Edith Howse stands first in our class. With Sylvia Miller standing last. Some girls work, other girls play, For they will learn some other day. We like arithmetic and stenography; But forgot to mention physiography. We all hope to be stenographers, But some of us will be book-keepers. VIOLA EDDIE MUSICAL 1-F There are quite a number of pupils in C-l-F that can play the piano and other musical instruments including the saxaphone, violin, mouth-organ etc. Oh! I forgot to say that EVERYONE can play the Victrola with a little practice. BASKETBALL C-l-F played a basketball game with Wyandottte public school team and un¬ fortunately lost. We hope to have an¬ other game with Victoria School. The players are: Helen Semak, Muriel Long, Hazel Clinansmith, Bessie Water¬ man, Blondie Histed and Sylvia Miller. C.l.F is our class name; W.W.T. is our station. Typing and Stenography Is hoped to be our occupation. GERTRUDE HISTED JUNIOR TECHNICAL II. — Impossibilities — Would it not be funny if: William Begley was a studious person! Agnes Glenn was not always talking! Eva Wesloski was not always giggling! Earl Gourley could find his seat when he came into a room! Frank Doran forgot his gum! Bill Feeleg left the girls in peace! Christine Sime eoud not talk.! We are all very sorry to hear of Wil¬ liam Begley’s misfortune. He broke his knee in the gym while •playing basketball.

EVAPORATION Instructor (to pupils): Who will give an example of evaporation? —(A few minutes silence). Instructor: Well, if your mother washes and hangs her clothes out on a warm dry day, what will happen? Bright Pupil: They will evaporate! We would advise Aggie to be careful about washing her face on a warm dry day. SOLID, TOO Teacher: Beryl, give me an example of the expansion of solids. Beryl: Well, um-er-a, I don’t know; but when I got hit on the head with a baseball bat it expanded. Teacher: Very good, Beryl, very good. • One of our best musicians is gradually picking up sufficient courage to enter the school orchestra. • • Doris M: I took first prize in the orator¬ ical contest. Joyce: That’s fine, isn’t it? Doris M: Yes, I got a block away and then they caught me. Yesterday Clara said that Earl Haig was dead. Roma asked: “Does he come to Tech? What’s the use, Miss Green! THE PRIDE OF TECH On the South Side lies the pride of Tech. And a very good class it is too! 1 his form is made up of a group of girls In number forty-two. They ' re a very good natured and jolly brood; Perhaps you wonder what form it could be Who always do just what they should ' : Well I ' m talking of C-l-D. FORM NEWS FROM C-l-E C-l-E is proud to know that the two highest marks in physiography among the first forms were obtained by this form. Margaret Thornell is always cracking jokes, so we call her Pat. This form is noted for not having many absentees. Iris Bond is always getting a headache in Shorthand Period. So sorry! Poor Iris!
