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.

74 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book Bernice—(Home from her first day at school), Mother, the teacher asked a question at school that no one in the room could answer but me. Mother—(Proudly), That’s fine. What was it ? Bernice — She asked what our tele¬ phone number is. • • • Mathematics Saiah—I have added these figures up ton times, Mr Srigley. Mr. Srigley—Good girl. Sarah—And here are the ten answers, M r. Srigley. • • Economics Mr. Wood—What is life insurance, Phyllis? Phyllis: It ' s keeping a man poor all his life so he can die rich. • Ethel—(Who is taking piano lessons, to organ grinder), How many hours a day do you have to practice? “I’m sorry to have to do this,” said .Johnny, as he spread jam on the cat’s face but I can’t have mother thinking it’s me.” • “Ike Newton had the dope when he went to school.” “How’s that?” “They say he used to put quicksand in the teacher’s hourglass so as to short¬ en the period.” • Editor—Have you ever read proof? Applicant—No, who wrote it? Nellie—“Why was Solomon such a wise fellow?” Lenora—“Because he had so many wives to advise him. « » Teacher—What is the meaning of “quorum? Gatacre (brightly)- A place where fish are kept.” Gatacre (night before exams)—“Well Audrey, (flipping coin) if it comes heads we go to the Palace, and if it comes tails we go to the Capitol.” Audrey—“Yeh, and if it stands on the edge, we’ll go home and study.” • Things that are a Detriment to School Life: Oratorical Contests were discovered to give students palpitation of the heart. Pupils who have once entered into these contests are never the same again. Comptometers, Daltons, Burroughs— The men who invented these machines have done more harm than good. Most pupils do not use their brains anyhow, but things have been turning from bad to worse. You can ' t get a pupil to add up a line of figures without a machine. Physiography Teacher—What is Earth ? Pupil—A solid substance much desir¬ ed by the seasick. Dick—My dad is an Elk, a Lion, a Moose and an Eagle. . Mickey—What does it cost to see him ?
