Every girl ad¬ mires a hero. And of course the outstanding characteristic of a hero is the resolute way in which he encounters dangers and diffi¬ culties. II is surprising too how often difficulties and dangers are dissipated when opposed by a stout heart! Rut one doesn’t need to be in a story book to display hemic quali¬ ties, for “man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward!” This is not a prophecy of gloom but a challenge to us to show what stuff we are made of. Life will present to each one of us trials and tribu¬ lations enough, lull moral strength is gained in no other way than by grappling with difficulties. MR. W. I). LOWE, M.A. Is it algebra or drafting that causes you grief? Or stenography or oral composition? Here is a chance to show heroic qualities. Grapple with your difficulty and refuse to give in until both shoulders have been pressed to the mat. Of course heroic attempts do not always end in success. LaSalle and Hudson went to watery graves, both murdered by their crews. Brave Capt. Cook fell a prey to savages. The storms and cold of the antarctic overcame Capt. Scott and his gallant companions. But “Death makes no conquest of these conquerors.” There is no disgrace if a brave attempt ends in failure. Failure is disgrace for those only who have refused to try. W. D.

Without an aim we cannot journey along the road of life to success. Sometimes in trying to achieve our goal we have difficulties to meet and problems to solve, but the conquest of these brings a joy to life. Sometimes we feel that our ideals are seldom realized, but all our experiences—whether of joy or of sorrow—in life contribute to the development of our character. And so, in our task with our magazine our aims have not fully reached reality but something has been added to our life and character. We are the better for having tried. We find courage in the poet’s words (as quoted above) in which he suggests that even our intentions are looked upon as actualities. “The trying shall suffice.” Even though we never reach per¬ fection, what of that? “A man’s reach must exceed his grasp, Or what’s a Heaven for?” The editors and staff of the Year Book 1928-29 have laboured faith¬ fully to compile a record of the school’s life and activities. We hope that you will overlook our failures and that those who follow ' after may build onward to success. May this book form another link to strengthen sweet memories of school days at Tech. CHAS. ADSETT The Windsor- ValkervUle Technical School Year Book 13 §r(]nol Spirit The students of Tech can claim to be the luckiest in the province. Here we are attending a million dollar school, taught by a staff of million dollar teachers and receiving a commercial or technical education that will mean more than a million to us. In return for all this we give a fifteen cent school spirit. If you could hear a group of students talking about their schools, you would find the Tech students arguing for Tech with vigour. An outsider listening would say. “There must be a wonderful school spirit at Tech.” But the very next day if the outsider would see the same students at lunch hour dropping paper and half of their lunches all over the hall, would he remark about the school spirit? I said that we had a fifteen cent school spirit, but on second thought 1 do not think it is worth that much. A basketball ticket sells for fifteen cents and about fifty students buy them and support the team. Even when our basket-ball teams are hosts to visiting teams the supporters of the opposing teams outnumber Tech supporters 4 to 1. But you may say. “I support the hockey teams.” ' that’s fine. But the hockey team is a winning team and supporting it does not show as much spirit as it would if they were a losing team. In the year 27-28 the support of the students made the hockey team a winning team and if we had the same spirit now it would do the same for any of our teams. I have pointed out two instances in which I can see our school spirit is not as fine as our boast. Are we going to take our loyalty out in talk and let the other schools have the best of us. No! Let’s wake up and fight as well as shout for Tech. F. SWACKHAMMER Only a short time ago at one of the basketball games, the absence of rooters from the School was frequently remarked upon. The result of the game was that the home team lost. The small number of rooters might have had nothing to do with this outcome, but for some reason or other the players certainly lacked that enthusiastic quality which is necessary for good playing. Of course there are crucial points when noise might make the contestants nervous, and in that case it is altogether unfair to cause a disturbance of any kind. As a rule, however, when a player hears his name or the name of his school coupled with some appre¬ ciative remarks, he is greatly encouraged. I have chosen basketball only as an example, but this is true in all games. A school yell given by a crowd of enthusiastic rooters undoubtedly generates enthusiasm in the players. Therefore, rooters are very import¬ ant to a team. True rooters, however, should not be solely for their own team, but should see and acknowledge the brilliant plays of their opponents, thus furthering the sport and showing good-will. HENRY ZMARZLY 14 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book CLlic tlinmtatiim nf iViust ' in tljc during i innt Jiiutr On account of the discussion going on recently about the noise in the halls at noon hour, I beg this opportunity of expressing niy views on the question. The cause for all the noise is that the pupils, not having anything to do, gather in the halls. My suggestion is to give the pupils something to do to occupy their time during the lunch hour. One way to occupy this time is to stage basketball or indoor baseball or basketball ga mes between the classes that are having lunch at that period. A schedule could be arranged so that, two teams would play each noon hour. A reward might he given to the winning team. When the pupils art? interested in, and attending these games, they will not he dis- turbing other classes. “Tech United” programs could also be put on in the auditorium by the classes who have lunch at this time and a similar reward could be given to the winners of the host lunch-hour program. Moving pictuies could also be shown in the lunch hour which besides giving entertainment to the pupils would be also educational. The school library should also he open and by having a good supply of interesting magazines, the pupils of the school would come to the library in the noon hour instead of lounging around the halls having nothing to do. By doing something for the entertainment of the pupils during the lunch hour, the problem of “noise in the halls” would he solved and the pupils would be enjoying a pleasant and profitable lunch period. FRED HALES, T4 loiters Cmiiu ' utiim On the morning of October 11, the two representatives from the Windsor-Walkerville Technical School arrived in Toronto destined to attend the Third Annual Convention of the Ontario Secondary School Editors. The convention is held yearly by the Sigma Delta Phi or the Women’s Journalising Fraternity of the University of Toronto. This fraternity offers a shield to the school having Ihe best publication. The convention took the form of lectures, discussions, field trips, and a banquet furnished by a local newspaper firm. The committee in charge had arranged for a number of excursions and trips. We had an invitation from the editor of the McLarens Magazine to visit, their plant where we viewed that popular Canadian magazine in all its stages of publication. The convention closed at noon on Saturday October 13. The rest ol the day was free to all, and tickets for the Varsity-Queens rugby game were given to those who desired them. The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 15 It is hard for us to express the good that we derived from the con- vention. But we received many good suggestions and ideas to help us in publishing our magazine. The inspiration and enthusiasm which we “im¬ bibed” at the meeting, 1 hope, has been shared in some little way with the whole school body, by our report of the convention. Near the end of December of last year the Canadian artists held an exhibition of Canadian paintings in the Prince Edward Hotel. Many famous Canadian painters exhibited their work. Among these was Owen Staples, an artist of merit, who exhibited several of his paint¬ ings. The staff of the school thought that our school should have a painting by some Canadian artist. A committee was chosen to select a painting and to buy it for the school. A water colour picture by Owen Staples was chosen by the committee. This is a picture of the Hart House Memorial Tower at the University of Toronto. It was erected in memory of the students who enlisted in the army and fell overseas in the Great War. In the picture the Tower stands as a tall magnificent structure built like a cathedral. There are trees in the foreground. This scene depic ts an autumn day. The leaves on the trees are just turning to many beautiful colours. The trees and the Tower indicate peace and rest; a fitting memorial, this, to those heroes who fell on the battle fields of France. This painting hangs in the south corridor of our school in a very prominent position. The students of “Tech.” are very proud of this paint¬ ing. the work of our own Canadian artist. It. MORGAN. C2K When a few members of the Border Cities decided that they wished to be “Stenos a few rooms in the Windsor Collegiate were set aside for the Commercial classes. Then in a few years the students of the Collegiate had increased so rapidly that extra rooms were needed. The Commercial school was so large that, after much discussion, it was agreed upon to build the Windsor Walkerville Technical School. A Million Dollar School! How little we realize the worth of it until we have entered the building, gone through it and seen the various devices that make up the equipment of the school. We also come to the conclusion that the “Million Dollars” was not expended in vain when we see the edu¬ cational and instructive methods that are used throughout the Commercial 16 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book and Technical Departments. Annually the school sends forth graduates who are skilled and who easily carry on their work in the business and industrial world. Five years ago the Windsor-Walkerville Technical School was just a new school with her name and future to make. At the beginning there were a little over five hundred pupils, now over one thousand throng the numerous corridors. One can easily set that out of one thousand pupils, belter hockey, basketball, rugby, and baseball teams can be chosen than those picked from a group of five hundred. At first the Tech teams had a hard fight with only a few victories to give them courage, but as the years passed on “Tech.” has achieved wonders in her activities. Better teams were chosen and the trophies and banners began to ornament the glass cabinet in the main hall. And now at the school games the Tech team is a hard one to beat. LORAINE STANTON, C8B (Changes in the The school regrets the withdrawal of two members of the teaching staff: Mr. CLAUDE McCALLUM. B.A., is teaching in the Collegiate, Lon¬ don, Ont. Mr. K.

Names K was the last race of the annual field meet. Tech, and W.C.I. were lied for first place and this race would decide the victor. The stands were packed with an excit¬ ed, cheering ' crowd. Here and there school colours coidd be seen flying. School yells came roaring down to the occupants of tip campus “Yea Tech.!” It was the old Red and Blue cry. Bob White, Tech’s hope, felt a thrill run through him as he heard it. His companion had sprained his ankle which accounted for him being Tech’s sole representative in the race. “He would give his best for his school,” Bob vowed to himself. Suddenly a silence fell as the an¬ nouncer stepped forward. He reel¬ ed off the entrants’ names, added that this was the last race and dis¬ appeared. The two minute whistle blew. Bob stepped forward with the other four boys, took his place at the white line and dug his holes. As he stepped back a fit of trembl¬ ing seized him. It was his first big race. Again a hush fell over the crowd as the announcer, pistol in hand, appeared. “On your marks!” As Boli stepped into his place he mar¬ velled that he had stopped trembl¬ ing. But his heart was thumping like mad and his body was bathed in cold sweat. Get set!” He tensed his muscles for the leap that might mean a win or a loss. Crack! There was the gun, and the race that meant so much was on. As one man, the five runners leaped forward. Bob, in his eager¬ ness, threw his weight too hard on the side of his foot, the loose cin¬ ders slipped and he fell to one knee. Involuntarily a groan escap- ed from the Tech, supporters. But Bob leaped up determined to fin¬ ish the race. The lending man had a lead of perhaps five yards. A very sub¬ stantial lead in a two hundred yard dash. But undaunted Bob ran on. Slowly, oh! so slowly the runners came back as if pulled by invisible threads. He passed one and the second coming back. High on his toes, his arms swinging in a short arc he tore on. Passed the sec¬ ond. Only two ahead. Only a few yards separate him from the win¬ ner. But a good deal of the race is already run and Bob has used up a good deal of his stamina. The pace is too fast, for the second man and he is dropping back! Only one ahead. Up in the stand the crowd became aware that the w’earer of the red and blue was killing him¬ self, running his heart out to re¬ cover his handicap. A great roar went up from’friend and foe alike. Tech! Tech! Tech! Again and again the cry reached the struggl¬ ing, fighting boy, strengthening his tired muscles. He gripped the track with fresher energy. With eyes protruding from their sockets, the cords in his neck standing out in the intensity of his effort, every breath a torture, he raced on. But no man can keep that pace for long. Spots danced before his eyes, a ringing was in his ears, he felt his brain reeling. With a huge effort he recovered himself. He fixed his eyes on the green and white jersey ahead. No longer could he feel his legs. They were like dead weights, moving mechani- 18 The Wimlsor-AValkervilk Technical School Year Kook tally, kept going only by that faint, dim determination to win through. Suddenly the green and white jer¬ sey vanished. In its place was a long white line faintly visible to his blurred eyes. The tape! With a last great effort he hurled him¬ self at it, felt ft: snap on his chest, and fell into the arms of his wait¬ ing comrades, the winner, -o- JIVARO LOVE Se-lak, the Swift, w-as in a quan¬ dary. His sweetheart, Leesom, the shapely one. had repulsed his ad¬ vances. “Bring me the head of Ron-ti the Mighty, and I will be yours,” she called mockingly after the disgruntled Se-lak. Se-lak fingered the razor-like edge of his kris and thought long¬ ingly of the head of Ron-ti. Ron- ti was a mighty head hunter and chief of a warlike tribe—to get his head would be no easy task. Be¬ sides, one hundred miles of dank jungle, teeming with carnivorous animals and shakes, lay between Se-lak and his prize. Se-lak decided to call on On-da, the Ancient one, for advice. “My son,” said Onda, “women are cap¬ ricious creatures, laden with fool¬ ish fancies. They will stop at no¬ thing to get what they wish, but they arc none the less desirable. Here is a mighty charm, wear it round your neck and you will be successful in your undertakings.” Three days later Se-lak was prowling around the outskirts of the village of Ron-ti. lake a wraith he slipped from hut to hut till at last he reached that of Ron-ti. lie hesitated, fingered his charm, and with the picture of Leesom in his mind, entered the hut. The hut which usually contain¬ ed Ron-ti and his ten wives, was a very large one. From its rafters dangled a full score of shrunken heads, mute witness to the prowess of the chief. However, Ron-ti was asleep and his wives were out. With victory almost within his grasp. Se-lak stumbled. In a Hash Ron-ti was on his feet, with a naked kris in his hand. Kris met kris—youth against a veteran warrior—one was fighting for love, the other for life. Ron- li got first blood, while his kris neatly shaved off Selak’s ear. Mad with pain, Se-lak took the offen¬ sive and backed Ron-ti into a cor¬ ner. There was a vicious “swish and the head of Ron-ti lay on the floor. His body stood for a sec¬ ond, blood gushing from the shorn arteries, then it crashed to the floor. Se-lak picked up the head and fastened it to his sarong with the long hair. He left as noiselessly as he came. In a few minutes he was in the jungle on his way to receive his just rewards. He again survived the perils of the jungle and was received as a hero in the village. After the feast he went to the hut of Leesom and laid the grisly trophy at her feet. She looked at it and rushed to his arms. “I am yours, my jaguar of the jungle,” she murmured softly. ALLEN MUIR, C3B. - 0 - BILL ROGER ' S FIRST SOLO FLIGHT “Look at that landing!” said Mr. Scott, the mechanic, who had been watching the descent of Mr. Soun- dy, the instructor, and Bill Rogers, a student, in a training plane. “That was beautiful,” said Mr. Scott to Mr. Soundy as the plane rolled to a stop beside the hangar. Don’t tell me Bill landed that ship!” “Yes,” answered Mr. Soundy, “he landed that ship himself. At first I thought we were going to crash, but by a quick manoeuvre we succeeded in making a good landing.” The Windsor- Walkervilie Technical School Year Book III Now,” said Mr. Soundy to Bill, take I he ship up yourself for a flight, and remember, we don’t like funerals around here.” Bill realized that the great mom¬ ent of his life had come. He wait¬ ed for last minute instructions then quickly jumped into the plane. He pulled back the throttle, taxing into the wind. Then with a wave of his hand to the instructor, he pulled back the throttle hard. The plane jumped, quickly gath¬ ered speed, ran along the ground for about a hundred feet and slow¬ ly left old Mother Earth below. Bill was thrilled to think that at last he could fly a plane alone. Ho climbed steadily for about three thousand feet., then levelled out,” and for the first time looked at the earth far below him. He circled around the field three times and then decided to try his hand at landings. He shoved the control stick for¬ ward, but in this shoved it too far forward and the plane went in a nose dive for the earth. Bill lost his head for a moment and held the stick in the forward position while the plane dove steadily for the earth. About seven hundred feet from the ground Bill pulled the control stick hard back, and the plane, instead of going down turn¬ ed about and started to climb.

T2R. -o- A MEAL As he lurked in the slimy depths of his jungle pool, Scalo, the croco¬ dile. victor of a thousand battles, pondered over the means of secur¬ ing his next meal. The animals would no longer come to his pool to drink. They feared Scalo. whom (hey had christened “The Lurking Death.” Scalo was hungry: he must eat: to eat. he must use strategy. So he considered awhile. Ah! at last he had it — an idea worthy of Go- thar. king of crocodiles. Scalo rose to the surface of the pool, rolled over on his back and feigned death. Long he waited for a victim. Then, just as he was going to give up hope, he heard a stealthy tread. Poised above the water was a stately buck. He look¬ ed suspiciously at Scalo. but think¬ ing he was dead, dipped his lordly head and began to drink. Scalo moved like lightning. Tn a flash he had the buck by the throat and had hauled him into the water. There was an agonizing scream, a swirl of blood-dyed waters, and Scalo and his prey vanished. That night Scalo, the crocodile, victor of a thousand fights, dined royalty. ALLAN MUIR. GSR. -o- TO A FRIEND First Prize Poem By Frances McCubbin. Com. Spec.

They’re memories of Tech; And the good times she had; Just to look back over them. Makes her feel sad. The book is a treasure To her mind, so dear; As she turns the page over. She loses a tear. Her eyelids are closing. She lets the book fall. As she sleeps toward dreamland. She hears a voice call.

They swore that, he would bow Before their idol bright; They did not know the white man Or his capacity for fight. When they reached the temple They spat upon his face; He tugged upon his bonds And thought of distant Grace. Me strained his mighty sinews. His bonds he tore apart, He seized a giant sword And fought with all his heart. Three yellow men were dead In a pool of living gore; His sword flashed in an arc Cutting down another four. % He is sorely wounded; The blood runs in his eyes; The yellow pack around him Send forth exultant cries. He clears a space around him And totters on his feet; With a grim smile on his face His Creator he goes to meet. For the honour of his country. For the glory of his race, He died a noble death Which time cannot efface. Ry ALLAN MUIR. C3R. -o- “TECH” What is greater far than fame? What ranks higher than honoured name?

FLORENCE DONALDSON, C2B. -o- THE VALUE OF SUPPLEMEN¬ TARY READING First Prize Essay Shirley Hetherington, Com. Spec. While supplementary reading is on the curriculum of almost all schools at the present time, do stu¬ dents regard this course in reading as merely an extra study with which they are burdened, or do they regard it as a useful guide 22 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book to all future reading? For such should be its aim. Place a book of real literary merit into the hands of a young person, and it should leave its mark on his mind; it should form a contrast to the mod¬ ern trash” so often digested by our boys and girls: it should de¬ velop his taste for good books so that he will feel the shallowness of the poorer class. Nor do I advocate that all books on the list are suitable for all pu¬ pils. Remember that just as a child learns to walk before he learns to run, so pupils must mas¬ ter the easier books before they cope with the more difficult. I be¬ lieve the mistake is often made of attempting to read a book whose style is too heavy or whose think¬ ing is too profound for the reader’s mind to comprehend. Such read¬ ing is a hindrance rather than a help, as the pupil becomes prejudi¬ ced against this type of book at the start, and is more than likely to retreat to something of Zane Grey’s or of Ethel M. Dell ' s. For example, I should not advise a first- form student who has had little experience in reading to begin with Milton’s “Paradise Lost” or with Carlyle’s “Sartor Resartus.” Let him content himself with Tenny¬ son, or with the simple biography of some well-known nian. Briefly, I say, supplementary reading should develop the taste for good books, and when there are far more good books in the world than any one individual can possibly read, what is the need of dabbling with trash? As Ruskin says: “If you read this you cannot read that—what you lose today you cannot gain tomorrow. Will you go and gossip with your house¬ maid when you may talk with queens and kings—or jostle with the common crowd for entrance here and audience there, while all the while this eternal court is open to you?” Reading is not merely a light pastime—just as exercise develops the body, so reading should develop the mind and soul. And remember, to say that a book is popular is not to say that it is good; the taste of the majority is not what it should be: it is the sensational, the blood-heating that they desire—this style of writing serves the purpose of strong drink, it merely stimulates, it does not. nourish. A book is nothing which does not call forth the power of thought, whose author does not have a thorough understanding of the passions and aspirations of great men. And do not think that it matters how long you take to read a book. Do not read straight ahead — pause; ask yourself why the author said that particular thing: jot down any criticism you may make; try to estimate the value of the book as a whole and then compare your estimation with that of some real literary critic. Always have a dictionary at hand —you will be surprised how T quick¬ ly you can increase your vocabul¬ ary. Do I recommend fiction or non¬ fiction?—both; fiction to stimulate the imagination, non-fiction to in¬ crease the extent of the learning, and both to facilitate the expres¬ sion of thought. Are you fond of history? Many students are not, yet why should heroes of fiction, mere creations of the imagination, make more appeal to the reader than the great flesh-and-blood her¬ oes of the past? What could be more thrilling than the deeds of real, live people? If you do not like history, go to the juvenile de¬ partment of the library, get a book of history which contains many il¬ lustrations—some of these books are written more after the manner of a fairy-story than of history— and try to enjoy it with unpreju¬ diced mind. If you are once able to grasp the human element of history, to feel that these figures were, after all, merely poor, weak human beings with hopes and as¬ pirations as your own, I believe that events in history will become gripping, enthralling. I mention The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 23 history because so many of our books have historical backgrounds, and to enjoy these books, you must have a knowledge of the element¬ ary historical facts. Let us take some of our popular authors—Sa- batini, for example—can you un¬ derstand his books without having a good, working knowledge of the French Revolution? There is another phase of read¬ ing which 1 want you to consider. 1 would say that books and travel are the two greatest factors in broadening the mind. We must either read or travel, and many cannot afford to do the latter. If we are shut up in one little spot and do not learn anything of the customs, constitutions, religions of other people, are we not bound to think that our way is the only way, that everything outside of our own little sphere is terribly strange and crude? And as we learn to view the world as a whole, to see the tremendous problems and difficul¬ ties facing other nations, our own petty troubles and sorrows melt into nothingness. We realize that the world is vast, that our striv¬ ings and accomplishments can af¬ fect more than just, our little circle of acquaintances—we realize that our example may influence the world! -o- THE DETROIT-WINDSOR TUNNEL W’ith the ever increasing volume of traffic between Canada and the United States by way of the De¬ troit River, it has been found nec¬ essary to augment the ferry ser¬ vices by quicker and more efficient means. This is being accomplish¬ ed by the construction of a bridge and tunnel. It is interesting to know that the bridge, which is of the suspension type, will have the largest span of any bridge in the world, with the exception of the Hudson River bridge in New York, now also under construction. How¬ ever, it is the tunnel with which I will deal in more detail. In general design the tunnel is somewhat similar to the Holland Tunnel connecting New York and Jersey City under the Hudson Ri¬ ver. The tunnel will be of con- creie, reinforced by a steel cylin¬ der. Previously such tunnels have had cast iron segments as reinfor¬ cements, an example of which is the M. C. R. tunnel between Wind¬ sor and Detroit, but the cost of this type of construction is too high for a tunnel of this nature. In brief, the Detroit-Windsor tunnel will be in three sections; a land section, on either side of the river, and a river section. With the land sections there will be the necessary administration buildings. The tunnel of the land sections will be made by what is known as the shield process. A shaft is dug at the beginning of the tunnel and a cutting device erected in it. By means of hydraulic jacks a cutting edge is forced through the ground, and as the excavation goes on the actual tunnel is constructed of a steel shell and of concrete. The river section is made by digging a large trench across the river bed and sinking the tube into it. As the river section is so long, the work is divided up into several parts, each piece being placed in position separately and joined together to form a single unit later. The tube for the river section is being manufactured locally, and each piece is erected on land at Ojibway. Each piece is 31 feet in diameter and 248 feet long; the weight of steel for one being about 500 tons. The ends are covered in and the whole piece made water¬ tight. When weather conditions permit it is launched, and after some of the concreting is done to form a keel so as to give it stabi¬ lity, the piece is towed out into the river and sunk into a place in the trench. The remaining concrete is then poured, and other pieces are placed in a like manner and joined together until the river section is complete and linked up with the land sections. 24 Tlit Windsor-Walkevville Technical School Year Book The ventilation of the tunnel will he carried out by huge fans at both ends. Air is forced down a pass¬ age below the roadway, and at in¬ tervals it passes up through parts into that part of the tunnel where we find the traffic. Exhaust air is carried out through a passage above the roadway. The air at the fans attains a speed of more than GO miles per hour. As an example, in spite of the heavy traffic, which no doubt will pass through the tunnel, the air will be purer than that on Woodward Avenue. This shows the efficiency of the fans. Part of the trench in the river is already dredged; work on the land section has begun, and the steel sections are being made. The tun¬ nel will be open to traffic sometime next year. NELLIE WEARNE. T2A. - o - MY STRUGGLES WITH AN ORAL COMPOSITION The topic 1 have chosen to speak on today—I have no topic—what I am going to do is to try to be ori¬ ginal by telling you how I prepared my oral composition. In the first place, 1 made up my mind to have my composition ready a week or so before the miserable day (not a rainy day), but the day I was to speak, but because I do so much homework, especially on shorthand and composition, it usu¬ ally turns out that I make my vain attempts the night before. Do you know, l stayed up until two o’clock last night doing this oral. That ' s why I was late for school this morning. To get back to the topic that 1 started with—what was it? —About aeroplanes, wasn’t it? Oh, 1 remember, I started to tell you the difficulty I had in getting up an oral composition. The other day I asked my brother for sug¬ gestions on the topic. He thought it would be a good idea to speak on the history of the W.W.T. In fifteen minutes I secured so much information that I decided to speak on that subject if Mr. Lowe would let me have the whole day in which to tell it. While 1 was looking for some other information, really 1 became so wrapped in thought that 1 nearly caught a cold. Another brillianl member of our household suggested that 1 speak on school spirit, but really I thought, it would be too dangerous. A week passed in this wav, and last night T found myself without u composition to give you. 1 was looking all over the house for material when I finally came across a book containing the life of Wm. Shakespeare. I finished reading the hook in two and one half hours, and then started to write a composition on it. When 1 had finished writing it, I found that 1 had six very interesting pages of material and I felt quite proud of myself, and went to read it to my sister, but I had not quite finished reading the first page, when, glancing in her direction, I saw that she was sawing wood. Really, I became so angry that 1 tore it into shreds. And then I had before me the task of writing another. Well, I looked and look¬ ed and looked, and at ten o’clock I still looked. The reasop that 1 still looked was that during the previous three hours that I looked, while looking, I came across some very interesting stories and was looking at them before 1 stopped looking. A—what was I looking for? That was the trouble, I for¬ got what 1 was looking for, and when the folks called me to go to lied at twelve o’clock, it came to my mind that I had a speech to prepare. Within the next hour I wrote about a great and wonderful man who did much for humanity, but 1 forgot his name, as I was half asleep when I wrote it. At one- thirty o’clock, all alone in the still night, I was trying to get a com¬ position, but 1 fell asleep on the job. Tho Windaor-Walkcrville Technical School Year Book 25 You are all lucky that I fell asleep, because while I was asleep I dreamt that I was a {Treat orator, and was making a speech to an audience of all the greatest com¬ position teachers in the world, among whom was Mrs. McGiffin. Just then I awoke. Thinking of that name it came to my mind that 1 had a speech to learn, and then a wonderful thought occurred to me. It was to speak on the difli- culties 1 had in preparing an oral composition. 1 went upstairs to bed at live-thirty o’clock, making up my mind to get up early next morning. 1 woke up at fifteen minutes to six, and started to pre¬ pare my composition. Here it is as proof that. I did prepare it— eight hundred and twenty-five words of solid, brain-paralyzing material. DONALD MERETSKY -o- THE AMBASSADOR BRIDGE This superstructure rearing its stately towers in the air, and stretching its lengthy span across the river, adds a touch of architec¬ tural beauty on the Detroit River. Only after years of planning and plenty of worry did the work of pioneers in the agitation for a De- troit-Windsor bridge succeed, and in the autumn of 1927 actual con¬ struction of the massive founda¬ tions started. The following sum¬ mer saw Canada and United States linked together in peace, when the first cables were strung across the river to support the narrow cat- walk where daring men afterwards worked on the main cables. While the foundations were sinking to rest on bedrock, steel was being prepared, to be placed on the foundations to form the slender towers which support the main cables. The towers are light and slender, not like the massive construction of days gone by when people believed that the larger and heavier things were the stronger; but the modern engineer puts his brain to - work and these towers are so constructed that, although slender, they have tremendous strength. Unconsciously the work¬ men showed great heroism as they skipped from girder to girder at the top of these suspension towers, where a misstep would have meant a fearful plunge to the river below. While these towers were rising skyward the men behind the bridge did not wait for their completion before going on with the rest; no, they started preparing for the cables which were to rest on the peaks; and as these towers rose t he approaches and terminals were taking shape, and before the com¬ pletion of the cables the roadway on the Canadian approach was fin¬ ished. Thus last autumn the great cab¬ les suspended across the Detroit River were made and anchored in¬ to place. Each wire of these great cables was laid separately and each strand anchored. Upon comple¬ tion the strands were bound and cl amped together by steel bands. These will be sealed and made air¬ tight. This cable holds the full weight of the main span. On top of the towers the cables rest in a saddle which swings back and forth with the cables as it pulls and expands due to the varied weight of its load and the effect of summer and winter. At present travelling cranes are building up the lengthy span, now Windsor Public Library 2fi The Wimtsor-Walkervillr TVchnii-al School Year Book the longest in the world. The bridge is built outward from each bank of the river and the span will join in the middle. After this is completed men will add to the steelwork, building back and forth until the steelwork is finished and the full weight is hung from the cables. On the roadway across this span there will be room for five lanes of traffic, and an eight foot sidewalk where you may go for a stroll on Sunday morning if you wish. There can be handled over five thousand cars an hour—a cap¬ acity that will meet the demands of the heaviest tourist traffic. There will also be transportation by bus for people without cars, from the metropolitan sections of both cities across the bridge. The summer of 1929 will bring to an end the worries of the men behind it, the difficulties of the en¬ gineers, and will bring true the dreams of thousands. The river will be covered with yachts and motor launches, music will float in (he air, gay colors will unfurl ev¬ erywhere, when the AMBASSA¬ DOR BRIDGE in all its splendour is first opened. Then two great sister countries will be joined in lasting interchange of friendly communication. By E. HERAGE, C3B. -o- PLAYLETTE OF T 3 B. Scene: Auto Mech. Room.

Aside from this hook, shp has written an interest¬ ing one called “The Ways of the Planets.” The Windsor Walkcrvillo Technical School Year nook 27 The story has a setting well- known to ns all — that of the dark blue sky. Its characters are the stars, gay anil sedate. Through the entire story the author introduces each bright star individually. The first is Capella — a charming star that is nearer to the North Star than any other. Capella is above the horizon more than twenty hours and can be seen some time at night every month in the year. It rises in August about ten o’clock and about sunset in October. Capella is yellow in colour like the sun. It is the same type as the sun and is about the same chemical composition. It. is larger than the sun and gives at least one hundred and twenty times more light. Capella is not inhabited and is receding from us at the rate of twenty miles a day. It will be hun¬ dreds of years, however, before there will be any noticeble change. The constellation of which Capella forms a part is called Aviga. It is a live-sided figure somewhat in the shape of a shield. Taking each of the bright stars in this interesting manner, Mar¬ tha Martin brings to us the fine companionship of the stars with¬ out the tiring technical part. By reading this book it is easy to think of the stars as friends. KATHLEEN CLOSE, C1ID. - o— 1 - A FLAPPER What is a flapper?” Nowadays we use the word in speaking of a young girl who is “sophisticated” or worldly-wise, and it is not alto¬ gether a compliment for any girl to be called a flapper. The word has come into common use only in t he last few years, but it is in real¬ ity a revival of a word which was used by Swift more than two hun¬ dred years ago. In Swift’s Gulli¬ ver’s Travels.” the people of La- puta are described as being so lost in deep meditation that they would pay no attention to what was going on around them, unless they were roused from their speculations by being touched on the eyes and ears: “for which reason those peo¬ ple who are able to afford it al¬ ways keep a flapper in their fam¬ ily as one of their domestics, nor ever walk about or make visits without him. This flapper is em¬ ployed to attend his master dili¬ gently in his walks and upon oc¬ casion to give a soft flap upon his eyes, because he is so wrapped up with cogitation that he is in mani¬ fest danger of falling down over a precipice and pounding his head against every post and of jostling others in the streets.” In Laputa a flapper was a person of either sex, and was regarded as a non¬ entity: and in his letters to his son, Lord ( hes ter field warned him aga¬ inst becoming a mere flapper. From O.A.C. REVIEW -o- MR. MCDONALD’S VISIT In November we, pupils, were very proud to have Air. Wilson MacDonald, the Canadian poet, visit our school. The pupils gathered in the auditorium where Mr. .MacDonald gave a very in- leresting talk. In his speech Mr. Mac¬ Donald referred to some peculiar ideas that some people hold about poets. He assured us that they were not mere dreamers and •‘sissies. but real men; that poets arc ordinary people. lie him¬ self. even ‘‘ate raw onions.” He told briefly the history of some of the Canadian poets, mentioning Pauline Johnson and Goldsmith, Mr. MacDonald related how he had travelled much over Canada and the United States, and how he got his ma¬ terial. He said that the university did not recognize Canadian poetry because it did not smell “musty,” meaning that the University thought a work of art must be old before it is of value. Then again. Canadian poems and poets are little known because our own Canadian Gov¬ ernment does nothing to help the poets in placing their poems to the front. Mr. MacDonald is the first Canadian poet to own his own hook and who earns his living entirely from his poetry. We ali hope to have the pleasure of hearing Mr. MacDonald again soon. 28 The WindBor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book I’Sexchang ■Essn “Compliments and Constructive Criticism Are flood For the Soul” We have been favoured in receiving a number of splendid magazines from other schools, some have come even from Australia.

New officers were elected with all the enthusiasm and excitement of the Presidential elections. Speech¬ es were made in the Assemblies and the pupils were left to decide whom they thought best suited to the positions. The results were as follows: President — Frank Hull Vice-President—Edna Smith Secretary — Doris Day Treasurer—Cyril Edwards Sergeant, at Arms—Louis Atkin Third Year Representatives: Commercial—Alfreda Begbic Technical — N. Cushman Second Year Representatives: Commercial — Francis Price Technical—A. Strickler First Year Representatives: Commercial—.Jean Bunclark Technical—R. Brown At the first meeting of the year the critics were chosen for the Tech United Programs as well as the judges who decide the winners of the cups, ft was also decided that pennants would be sold to ob¬ tain money for the different acti¬ vities of the school. These pen¬ nants are red with blue W.W.T. lettering. Programs were started in a very short time. The winners have not yet been decided upon due to the fact that all the programs have not been presented. C3A and C3B presented the first program of the season. C3A is so far the successful class with only one form to compete against them. Their program was made up of choruses and a pageant represent¬ ing the different countries of the world. They also presented a play called “Medieval Magic.” C3B’s program was very inter¬ esting as well as educational. It consisted of “The Literary Piano,” the story of the typewriter, and a play written by one of our own teachers called “Tillie the Toiler” which was very amusing. The next program took place on November 29, 1928, by T3A and T8B. A very interesting program consisting of a chorus, a school stunt, and a scene from Henry IV was put on by T3B. T3A’s was very novel and inter¬ esting. It was a descriptive nar¬ rative of the Great War showing the various events. War songs were sung by players and audience. The next meeting of the Tech United was presented by C2A and T2A.

THE ORATORICAL contest The Oratorical Contest was held in the Windsor Walkerville Tech¬ nical School on the last week of January. According to rules and regulations, the boys and girls of the first and second forms are con¬ sidered Juniors, while those of the third and fourth forms are Seniors. There are four contests in all: Senior boys, junior boys, senior girls, and junior girls. Senior and Junior Roys’ Oratorical Abe Feldman of Ciffl, winner of the Senior Boys’ Oratorical, spoke on the topic “Insurance.” Bill Po¬ well, of T2A. whose speech was “Achievements of Aviation Since the Great War,” took first place in the Junior Roys’ Oratorical con¬ test. Both boys showed ability in public oratory, and although they did not succeed in obtaining hon¬ ours in the final contests, both were, worthy of commendation. Senior and Junior Girls’ Oratorical Renee Sklash, of Commercial Special, was declared winner of the Senior Girls ' Oratorical. Second place among the senior girls was awarded to Shirley lletherington, 32 The WSndsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book who spoke on “The Labor Union.” Doris Reycraft, of C2D, carried off the honours among the junior girls. She gave a graphic description of the “St. Lawrence Waterways,” and sketched their history from Ihe early days of the English set- tlers to the present day. Others who spoke were: Senior Girls — Anna Starker, Mary Berbynuk, Dora Berman, Edith Timm. Senior Boys—William Gibb. Junior Girls—Marjorie Varah, Lillian Matthews, Julia Berbynuk, Isabel Kay, Grace Wilson, Barbara Drulard, Margot Burrows, Doris Brown, Ethel Heath, Ethel Sedge- ly, Lila Harper, Marie Annette. Junior Boys—Levere Hodges, George Hatuean, Edward Lawley, John Thompson, Orville Edmonds, George Hastie, A. Maisonville, Bill Marriott. RENA SKLASH o DEBATES Immediately after the oratorical contest was finished “Tech United” held a meeting in which they made arrangements for inter-form de¬ bating among the senior forms. A shield is presented to the w inning form each year, and T3B are try¬ ing hard to hold it in their room again this year. The debates are held in the auditorium during the Assembly periods and will not be completed till after Easter. DORIS DAY • ♦ A young Scotch miner lived in a little village where there were no electric lights. The folk used candles to light their homes. The miner’s wife was very ill and expected to die. That night be¬ fore the Scotch miner went to work he said to his wife, “Well, Mary, if you feel yourself goin, blow out the candle.” MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOL Music is, without doubt, the pur¬ est and simplest of the arts. Cow- per said that it is the true univer¬ sal speech of mankind. Tongues may be strange but music can al¬ ways be understood. We cannot all be great musicians but we can be appreciative listen¬ ers. A taste for good music can be cultivated and is invaluable to the possessor. Music is given consider able at¬ tention in our school. “Tech” has an excellent orchestra and is fill¬ ing a larger place in school activi¬ ties every year. Let us aim to acquire a deeper appreciation for good music and make “Tech.” the foremost high school along musical lines, in the Border Cities.

THE SCHOOL PLAY As an interpreter of American mentality of the year 1929 Booth Tarkington is unrivalled and as an interpreter of the mind of the youth of today he is without a competitor. Tn “Seventeen” his portrayal of the ideals and behav¬ iour of a group of boys and girls is extremely amusing, a bit touch¬ ing and continuously fascinating. The drama unfolds the heroic struggles of “Seventeen —Wm. S.vlvanus Baxter, heretofore “Silly Bill” and his associates—to pro¬ vide himself with a dress suit. His passionate need for this elegant raiment has arisen from his falling in love with the Baby Talk Lady, an accomplished, if youthful, co¬ quette. The drama unfolds with a laugh at every turn, a few sighs and a final impression that though youth is ridiculous and frequently annoying, its uncompromising idealism is admirable and precious. In presenting “Seventeen” the Concert Committee is making an effort to pul the entertainment of 1929 on a par with the artistic ex¬ cellence of the production of “Pina¬ fore” in 1928.

A. HOGAN, C2E — n - - THE CANADIAN “CYCLONE” Oti February 20. 192!), Tech’s spacious halls were graced with the lithe steps of Percy Williams. But what has that to do with a Canadian Cyclone. Yes, we Cana¬ dians are ignorant of the fact that Canada claims the world’s fastest; human, and that he js commonly known as “The Canadian Cyclone.” This frail youth who completed his high school education at King Edward School in Vancouver, is at nineteen years of age, gaining world’s fame as a sprinter. Just out of high school this mar¬ vellous young man achieved great success for himself as well as for Canada, at the Olympic games held at Amsterdam last year. At these games vast crowds saw t he Canadian flag at the top of the mast twice in succession in token of the fact that for the first time in history a Canadian (Percy him¬ self) had won the two major events at the Olympia, namely the 100 and 200 metres. Since then he has been making and breaking records, not Victrola ones. He has toured the United States and has not been defeated up to the present date. Lately he broke the world’s record for 20 yards by one-tifth of a second. i i ivi .f.i A traffic cop was on a busy corner dir¬ ecting traffic. Every time he gave the go” signal lie called “pedestrians this way. There was an Irishman standing across the street. The cop looked at this Irishman (who had been waiting there for a long time) and called “all pedestrians this way.” The Irishman answered back, ”Pve been waiting here for over an hour, and all I heard was ‘all Presbyterians this way When the heck are you going to call the ' atholies.” « � • Famous Sayings of Famous People C.

They seem¬ ed to lack horse shoes ami although they gave all the leaders of tilt; district a big scare, they could never manage to emerge on the large end of the score. UfWfWrt Fotfwftqn ) The leadership of the school’s ball tossers was entrusted to Cap¬ tain Cy Carley who is a veteran at Dr. Naismith’s pastime. Cy is one of the fastest floor men that ever graced a Tech uniform and play was centred about him. During a couple of frays Carley was absent The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 37 due to old man Sickness and as a consequence the team felt the loss of their regular pivot man. In front of Carley on the for¬ ward wall for the Redshirts there could be found such basketeers as Hunt Leishman, Tom Pendlebury and the Gold Dust Twins—Art Ho¬ gan and Bob Padgett. The com¬ bination of these trick y forwards proved a thorn in many of the op¬ posing guard departments. Wal- kerville evidently must be accus¬ tomed to generating hoopsters since Carley and Leishman hail from that nearby town. Leishman is small and wiry with plenty of spring in his shoes which enabled him to out jump any of bis taller adversaries. Andy also proved to be a mean geomitrivian since he could readily pop counters from all angles of the court. In Pendlebury was found a nat¬ ural born court artist and it is rum¬ ored that when only six months of age Tom used to play in a basket. His tricky pivoting and his dead- eye shots added to the Red and Blue offensive although he excel¬ led in denting the meshes from the charity lane. Next we have Art (Cyclone) Hogan, who hails from Assumption College. The red¬ headed Irishman has displayed to spectators that he knows what a basketball is for and has given in- i dilutions of making Paddock and Nurmi look like statutes. Last but not least there is Bob Padgett, who graduated for last years interme¬ diate team to a berth in senior com¬ pany. Bob is unselfish with the leather and has proved to be a dogged and determined player with beau coup de fight. The area in front of Tech’s bas¬ ket was carefully patrolled by Aif Iloole, Ken Swan and Dave Harris, who form the guard department for the Red and Blue team. This was Houle ' s second season as a re¬ gular on Tech’s quint and as a con¬ sequence was a great asset to the team. His ability to make sudden sallies into the enemies’ territory and his canny eye for caging the tanned-skinned pellet brought words of praise from the opposi¬ tion’s bench. Sometimes Alf filled in very capably on the forward line. Ken Sw ' an, the “smiling sheik” of the tribe halls from Walkerville and therefore plays basketball. Ken camps on the heels of his man and can readily dear the ball from the backboard. “ Tiny” Harris, the last of the trio, bobbed up for last years Intermediates and filled in at rear guard with satisfaction. Another player who decorated our team as a regular, prior to Christmas, was Frank Hull, but since has departed on a cruise in the business world about town. Frank was a great asset to the team and his loss was keenly felt by the team. Then there is the big man of the squad, Frank Swack- hammer, who proved to be a cap¬ able assistant to the coach in the capacity of manager, trainer, scor¬ er. reporter, cheer leader, etc. Re¬ ference should also be made re¬ gards the capable handling of the games afforded the team this year in the person of Geo. Clive, of De¬ troit, who ranks among the best on the Southeastern Michigan Board of Referees. The team had a very large sche¬ dule this year and made several journeys to Detroit, faring better with the American schuuls than they, did in the Wossa group. They scored a double victory over the University of Detroit High both at home and on a foreign court. Wal¬ kerville took us into camp in our initial Wossa encounter. A week later Tech lost the fastest and most exciting battle of the season to W. OX by a smalt margin, 12-11. Tech was handicapped by the loss of Hoole and Leishman due to the flu. Mr. Clive describes that game as his best game for the year. An¬ other trip to Detroit added further laurels with a win over Rosary Central High. Tech split even with Si. Agnes and St. Anthony’s of the Dynamic City. 38 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book In the Wossa Tech was outclass¬ ed in the final game with Assump¬ tion, but in the others at no time did the scores differ by more than six points. This should give Tech a great deal of credit since the teams of these various schools were decorated with more veteran material than our coach had af¬ forded him. FRANK SWACKHAMMER, C3B -o- THE INTERMEDIATE BASKETBALL TEAM In passing, we cannot fail to say a few words regards our Interme¬ diate Basketball team. They are the reserves for our Senior and enough cannot he said to extol their qualities since it is their op¬ position that makes our Senior team work in practice. Then there are some that portray potentiali¬ ties which may become actualities and as a result may find the eye of the coach and a berth on the Senior five.

The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 39 RUGBY Reported by Frank Swackhammer The fine showing of three wins, one tie and one loss was not quite enough to carry us into the finals but for a team having only three players who had played the game before, speaks well for Ihe material vvo have here at Tech. The team was fortunate in hav¬ ing very capable directors. The po¬ pular choice of Weldrick Walker for captain is largely due to the wonderful spirit of unity which was predominant at all times. The grit to go, the pluck to light to the end was shared by all. When the call came for a quarter-buck ev¬ eryone agreed that there was hut one — Bob Padgett : and what a general he was! a director and a hard player combined. Space does not permit us to pay a personal tribute to the efforts and abilities of the i ndivi dual boys on the. team but may we briefly mention Ihe stellar barkfield led by Ray Lauzon. the “galloping ghost ,” whose long runs turned the tide of battle many times; Kerr Christian, with his elusive dodge; Omar Drouiflard with liis steady handling of punts; Frank Hull and Dave Harris with their sure tackl¬ ing and long runs. In Roy Jewell at centre we see pride taken in a job well done, lie could not make a bad pass. The combination of speed, alert¬ ness and sure tackling makes the position of outside wing on a team one of the hardest to fill. But while we had Jimmie Zade, the boy vet¬ eran, and Art. Hogan following down under kicks this position was very ably filled. On relief John Ross, Alex Todd. Lawrence Lang- lois, Frank Olski, Mike Teron and Metro Skaleski gave valuable as¬ sistance. The stone wall from be¬ hind which all plays must be start¬ ed is not so much in the lime-light, yet it is tlu back bone of the whole team. Weldrick Walker, George Geddes, John Trotter, Clark Levis, Reg Morgan, Tom Harte, Gerald Halliday, Vaughn Courier, Fred Bailey and Bill Roucka formed the blue line that was just as hard to go through as was the thin red one of history. As trainer Phil Padgett galloped across the field at the call of “Time Uni the question was “would there be any water left in the pail when he arrived?” THE TECH CADET CORPS “Practice makes perfect” may be an old proverb but the accuracy of the statement no one will dis¬ pute. It is well exemplified in the excellent showing that our Gorps made in June last on its annual inspection. Meriting increased praise from the Inspecting Officer each year since its organization in the Fall of 1923 and first inspection in June, 1924, our Corps has finally achieved that end which is the aim of every corps, viz. the winning of the Shield awarded for General Proficiency in M. Dist. No. 1. This is all the more remarkable as the Shield was won on the fourth in¬ spection of the Corps, in the face of exceedingly keen competition from the other organizations of the district. 40 The Windsor-Walkervi lie Technical School Year Book The Corps is to be commended ou its excellent appearance and steadiness when receiving Brig.- Gen. Armstrong, the inspecting of¬ ficer. accompanied by Lieut. Col. Gillespie, as well as the precision with which the various units per¬ formed their own particular parts. After the reception of the In¬ specting Officer, the various com¬ panies gave an exhibition of com¬ pany, platoon and section drill as well as physical training. On the completion of this part the Stret¬ cher Bearers, Signallers and Band showed that these activities had not been neglected, all performing in a very creditable manner, the Band particularly receiving many compliments on their playing. An interesting feature of the in¬ spection was the presentation by Col. Laing of his cup to A Company for general proficiency. This cup was donated to the corps several years ago by Col Laing for Inter¬ company competition. At the conclusion of the inspec¬ tion Gen. Armstrong addressed the Corps which mustered some 346 of all ranks, complimenting them on their appearance and steadiness. The Cadet personnel was: Battalion ’ommander—Kenneth Kersey. 2nd in Command—Frank Hull. A Co. Co. Commander—Roy Pa- shak. Platoon Commanders—Joe La- foret, Robt. Padgett. B Co. Co.

Owing to the fact that the Tech¬ nical School student body is an ever changing one, it is difficult to pick out and train a winning team. Un¬ der these circumstances the coach, Mr. Bennet, can be highly com¬ mended on his team’s success, and the players upon their excellent spirit. It would greatly simplify our coach’s task if those interested in this sport will come forward at the commencement of the 1929-30 school year and volunteer their ser¬ vices.

THE TRACK TEAM Due to the loss of some of our star athletes, Julius and Leo Gold¬ man and Wilfred McArthur, our team was greatly handicapped this year. The members of this year’s track squad were for the most part new blood and as a consequence lacking in experience. McKechnie, H. Kelly, Art Dober- nardi, Fred Hamcs and Bill Beg¬ ley. It is hoped that when Coach Wood and his assistants issue the call for spike shoe artists, there will be a large turn out to gain a place on the thin clads for the spring meet at London. Our team won very few events since the experience of the other contestants from the various schools afforded them a great ad¬ vantage. The members of our team were: Tom Simpson (Junior Champion).

As a result of the day’s activities for the thin clads in the various events there were crowned new champs in dif¬ ferent classes of boys’ and girls’ competition. Although the competition in the senior events was not as keen as in the other classes, nevertheless Bernard Stauth captured the Sen¬ ior Boys’ Championship. In the Intermediate class the honors fell to Fred Barker, a freshie, from Prince Edward School who collected a total of twenty- three points to cop the Champion¬ ship. To Tom Simpson fell the honor of grabbing off a total of thirty- three markers to romp to the Jun¬ ior Championship. The boys’ in¬ ter-class competition laurels went to T3B who were closely pressed by TLC and T2C. Both the senior and junior championships in the girls’ events were shared when two girls finish- oil in a tie for each top rung.

Four of last year’s team were back, and with the addition of Jean Gemmel from Walkerville C. I. and Florence from Windsor C.I., and with the working in of Fern Fisher, Elsie Smith. Salina Allen and Jennie Robertson. Tech was able to put a first class team on the floor. This team won three out of five hard-fought games. Wo played home and home games for the group play offs. Our first game was with Walkerville, at Walkerville. We were successful, with a 22-13 score. Our next group game was with Windsor here. A- gain our team won. the score be¬ ing 18-16. We then played Wind¬ sor, at Windsor and lost 22-18. The following Friday we played Walk¬ erville at Tech and won 23-17. As we were now a tie with Windsor for first place in our group, we played off in General Byng gymna¬ sium. Tech girls led all through the game, but lost out in the last, few minutes. Windsor won by a 34-40 score. Senior Girls’ Basketball Team Personnel Florence Clarke—Came to us from Windsor C.I.. bringing her snappy left hook to help us through the season.

Verna Utidiing — A splendid guard, left us just after Christmas. Fern Fisher — Another good guard who left us at Christmas. Our subs also deserve credit. They played well when called upon. Alfreda Begbie, Angela Ouelette, and Dorothy Gatacre formed a strong support for the forward line, while Ellen Cutts, Ellen Rourke and Georgina Begley did the same for the guards.

In the first game at Windsor, March 8, with Strat¬ ford, Tech was on the short end of a 2 to 1 score. The return game was played at Stratford on March II, with the result that Stratford ' vas victorious by 5 to 4, winning the round and the cup by 7 to 5. Tech beat Stratford a year ago and brought the cup to our school. This is the third year in succession that, the Stratford Collegiate and our school have met in the junior finals. While we lost the cup this year, we wish to pay tribute to the hospitality of the Stratford boys and the citizens in general; they accorded us the very best of treat¬ ment. In the Senior WOSSA, our team qualified to meet the boys of the Sir Adam Beck Collegiate, London. The first of the deciding games for the championship was played in London, March 15, when a tie score was the result, each team scoring two goals. In the second game in ihc finals. Tech defeated the Beck team by fi goals to 2, thus winning the round and champion¬ ship by a score of S to 4, both teams having had two goals to their credit in tin- first ton test. The silver cup, emblematic of the hon¬ or ' gained by Tech, was presented to I lie winners on the ice at the close of the game. George Hastie. as captain, receiv¬ ing the trophy on behalf of the team. Later, at the Prince Rdward hotel, where a dinner was provided by the Windsor Walkerville Technical School Board for both teams, medals, indicative of the victory, were presented to the Tech boys by Mr. W. II. Downey, as representative of the Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association, donor of the em¬ blems. The victory gives Tech two trophies, the school having previously won the King cup. which gives the victors the distinction of Essex county champions in the realm of hockey. Tech took the King silverware from the Riverside Bluebirds at the close of 1928. While Tech has hockey players to be proud of, much credit for their develop¬ ment and success must he given to Mr. Neil F . Morrison, B.A., member of the •school teaching staff and manager of the team, and Mr. I. V. Corrigan, who has ♦lone fine work in coaching the boys.

While not winning the match, t hey made a very creditable showing, standing in fifth place against the pick of the team in Western Ontario. This is an ex¬ ceptionally good showing when it is considered that the official range facilities in Essex are negligible. In fact, it is due to the courtesy of the Shawnee Gun Club, who very kindly allowed us the use of their range, that such a good showing was possible. N T or is this all. The greater part of the target work is carried on under supervision on our own in¬ door range in the school, which, competent judges say, is an excel¬ lent one. .Many of the boys are developing into good marksmen and, incidentally, all are learning to exercise care and skill in handl¬ ing and using firearms, a precau¬ tion so necessary for the safety of others and the enjoyment of the sport. 50 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book THE ALUMNI Schooldays, what h a p p y thoughts. Those days are gone forever. But we can still perpetu¬ ate those cherished memories, through occasional meetings with those who accompanied us through school life. There is no friend like a real friend, and those friends who were made amid the babble and laughter of school days are the real friends of today. In order to promote occasional contacts with these friends, each school has formed its own Alumni. The Technical School boasts such an organization. Every student graduating from the majestic Towers of Technical can stride with pride into its own Alumni Association. Besides perpetuating schooldays, friendships and memories, the Al¬ umni has another valued work, which involves this principle—to say nothing of your school sug¬ gests you are ashamed of it—to talk in glowing terms of your school shows pride. The work of the Alumni is to extol the ideals and principles of its school. Those enrolled in the Alumni denote by their membership that the school is a source of pride in their lives. The Alumni Association will be heard boosting its school, and any true valuator of community assets will do the same. During the current year the Technical Alumni will spend much time in making the ideals of the school better known to the public. To lecture on them would be of no avail. Those lofty ideals must bo demonstrated, for what is seen cannot be refuted by words. On the sixth of February, a gen¬ era! meeting of the Alumni was held, new officers were elected as follows: Honorary President — Mrs. M. McGiffin. President—J. M. Rogers. Vice-President—B. Kerr. Secretary—G. Kerr. Treasurer—F. Knight. Advisory Committee — Jessie Lowther, Nellie Ostrowski, Leta Knight, Esther Churchil, Joe Pes- Rosiers, Chas. Fisher, Fraser Grenville, Douglas Wage. At this meeting Mr. W. I). Lowe gave the executives his assurance that whatever he could do to aid them in their work, he would do. The executives of the Alumni ap¬ preciate this generous attitude and take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Lowe for his generosity. J. M. ROGERS -o- MY TRIP TO MALTA “The Isle of Sunshine.” What a title for the beautiful island of Malta. That was my first impres¬ sion as I entered the harbour of Valetta, the capital and most beau- The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 51 tiful city on the island. The white buildings with their high steeples looked like shining spears piercing the white clouds. As the boat en¬ tered Grand Harbour we had a splendid view of the Flotilla, all newly painted. We later found out that Malta was somewhat of a re¬ pair shop for the Mediterranean vessels. When we arrived in port we were met by our friends in a quaint cab. brought for our special benefit; and what a cab—not like our modern de luxe cabs—but they were very novel and afforded us much enjoyment. We were driven to the fashionable Strada Reale where we resided during our visit. It is a much narrower thorough¬ fare than that at home but was lined with more beautiful build¬ ings. What seemed odd was that the homes all possessed balconies. Very nice for a Romeo and Juliet act if one was not particular whe¬ ther a crowd gathered to view the scene. It was on this street that the Opera House was situated. During our visit we spent a great deal of time at the plays and pic¬ tures, the majority of which were in Italian. Those that were in Eng¬ lish 1 had seen some months be¬ fore, either in England or at home, but enjoyed them nevertheless. The Opera House is very wonder¬ ful inside and out. It really looks like one of Washington’s munici¬ pal buildings. Our time was spent mosty in sight-seeing, a never ending occupation. There is so much of interest to be seen. The Maltese History seems to have begun at the time of the Knights of St. John. Practically all of their cathedrals and palaces date from that period. St. John’s Cathedral is magnificent. The al¬ tar is wonderful and the walls are gorgeously carved and h ave huge paintings on them as well as on ihe arched ceiling. Among the most prominent buildings in Valetta is the Nesle- yan Church, the Augerve de Cus- tille, the Customs House, Admir¬ alty House at Vittoriosa, and the St. Paul’s Cathedral, which is the highest pinnacle in Malta, now the residence of the Governor, all of which arc very impressive. During our stay they held their annual races. These races are very interesting and were carried on in much Ihe same manner as ours. This custom also dates from the time of the Knights of St. John. We went across to Sliema in a small launch. It is a city quite the same as Valetta but not as large. When we returned to Val¬ etta we went to Strada St. Lucia, but were forced to descend from the cab and climb the many steps of St. Lucia which 1 think must amount to almost a hundred if not more. I thanked my lucky star when 1 arrived at the top. A pecu¬ liarity of Strada San Patrizio is the hanging out of the weekly wash on the front of the houses from one balcony to another. It reminded one of some of the streets on the East Side of Now York. We took many short boat trips and met a great many people. Malta seems to be a great resort for people from all parts of Eur¬ ope. They could hardly find a more beautiful place to visit. Il-Torri. in Sliema is the finest promenade in Malta and English aristocrats can be seen taking an evening stroll nere quite frequently. We could not possibly leave Mal¬ ta without visiting “Chalet” Char Id-Dud, a favorite summer resort ot the Maltese. It is very beauti¬ ful and a pleasant time can be had by one who is visiting these resorts. , Before going further I wish to comment on the native costume of the Maltese women. It is gradu¬ ally dying out but is still worn by many. It consists of a long skirl reaching almost to the ground, of a dark, high necked waist with many tucks in the front; of a wide belt, and of a huge hood effect that serves as a hat to protect one from 52 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book the sun and which is also long enough to reach half way down to the ground. A hag is carried in the hand and jewelery is worn. Light waists are often worn but generally by the younger women. This is a very picturesque costume. All too soon came the date when we must say good-bye to the sunny isle and it was with regret that we left the fortified city. The last T remember was the “boom” of the large gun from the Saluting Bat¬ tery after which T woke up. 1 still cherish my dreams of Mal¬ ta and hope to see some day “The Isle of Sunshine, and all the beau¬ tiful places which I see in my dreams.

Invitations were limited to the graduates of the year, each gradu- The WindsorWalkervtllc Technical School Year Book 53 ate being allowed to be accompan¬ ied by a friend. The chaperons of I he party were the school teachers who added very pleasantly to the si vess of the evening. The gymnasium was very pret¬ tily decorated in coloured stream¬ ers, and by lanterns shedding a soft light over the spacious floor, the orchestra being surrounded by palms at one side of the lloor. Mr. O ' Neill, as master of cere¬ monies. conducted the party splen¬ didly. Coloured paper hats were given out and streamers were so plentiful that it seemed like a jun¬ gle of colours. The balcony was reserved for the refreshments which were plentiful and excellent. The grand march and many novel daiheos were done to the enjoyment of all those present. Too, it proved the meeting place for old school acquaintances who had not seen one another since hav¬ ing graduated! The time passed so quickly and pleasantly that when the orches¬ tra, who rendered excellent music all evening, struck up the anthem, a sigh of regret went all along the floor at the thought of having con¬ cluded so pleasant ail evening. Many thanks are due to Mr. O’¬ Neill for his work in decorating the gym. so splendidly and in his delightful conducting of the party; also to Mr. and Mrs. Lowe and teachers who added so charmingly to the evening.

An answer soft and deep; ' The flowers that bloomed but yesterday Now lie fast asleep.

But scattered thoughts our minds still nurture: Thoughts of other days and scenes; Youthful dreams, so light and gay.

FISHER 54 The Windsor- ' Wtilkerville Technical School Year Book COMMENCEMENT The sixth annual com meiico- meftl exercises were held in the Stu- dilorium of the Windsor-Wafkdr- ville Technical School, Wednesday evening January 16th, 1929. The chair was taken by Mr. Albert Long, chairman of the board for 1928. The program was opened by the singing of 0 Canada” followed by a selection from the school orches¬ tra, directed by Mr. Percy Bennett. The chalrm m then delivered an address to the graduates of 1928. There followed a piano solo by Miss Nourma Gledhill. Mr. M. A. Sorsoleil, M.A., a pro¬ vincial inspector of technical schools, who was here on a Lour of inspection at the time, gave a very interesting address to the students. In his talk he emphasized the fact that the girls and boys should keep their bodies clean inside and out and show individuality in their work. He advised the students to give serious consideration to their vocations and then become masters of their occupations. He also ad¬ vised the pupils to become inter¬ ested in some religious organiza¬ tion or some association that will help to develop their minds. He wanted them Lo practise the habit of being intense and not to become indifferent to what was going on about them. After Mr. SorsoleU’s address a very pleasing vocal solo was ren¬ dered by Miss Chrissie Smart af¬ ter which the diplomas were pre¬ sented to the Commercial gradu¬ ates by Mr. Frank Harding. Mr. John Rose then rendered a violin solo. Miss Maude Holding gave the Valedictory Address in which she spoke of the graduates’ sorrow at leaving their school and thank¬ ed the teachers for all they had done in the shaping of their lives. Scholastic awards were next pre¬ sented. Miss M. 0‘Donoghue, M. A., presented to Miss Maude Hold¬ ing the Lucy Towle Memorial Scholarship. This award is made on the basis of scholastic standing, school activities and character, and was contributed by former graduates in memory of Miss Towle, a former teacher of (he staff. Mr. S. it. Ross, C.E„ presented to Charles Hart leib, and Norman Cushman, the first Senior and Jun¬ ior prizes; and second prizes to ■Joseph Laforet and Bruce Walker. These prizes were donated hy the Essex County Builders ’ and’Con¬ tractors Association. The merit pins were given nut by Mr. W, D. Lowe, M.A. Mr. John Rogers and Mr. Arthur Mann then gave the Class Proph¬ ecy for both (he Commercial and Technical Departments, respective¬ ly. Athletic awards were presented by Mr. R. J. Desmarais and the trophies by Mr. F. W. Begley. A selection was then given by the school orchestra before closing the program with “God Save the King.” EDNA SMITH -o- FROM THE PEN OF A GRADUATE Since my recent graduation from school I have found the training which I received there a great benefit, and a great help to smooth out difficulties that I feel would have been harder without this ex¬ perience. A graduate soon finds that working for a living is not as hard as it seems when viewed from a distance. He is soon at home among his new companions and surroundings, and quickly identifies himself with his work. So “Grads. when you leave school, the sooner you settle down to your jobs the easier it will be; and the sooner you become interested in your work, the sooner do you think of your work as a pleasure Bather than as a task. The Wind sot-WalkerviUe Technical School Year Booh 55 I feel sure that every loyal gra¬ duate of “Tech ' lakes great pride in the way Hie school has forged ahead in the last few years. All this comes from the spirit of co¬ operation and unity that has exist¬ ed in the school since its recent birth. A school that could produce such a magnificent success as was shpwn in the Annual Concert—H, M.S. Pinafore—last year, has ev¬ ery reason to face the future confi¬ dentially If we can produce the same spirit among the alumni as there is amongst the students we will have accomplished much.

Friends: Tonight, we students are bidding farewell to the Technical School. Jua! a few months ago we were spoken of as the young men and women of tomorrow! Now we are putting behind us the happy care¬ free schooldays and developing b si ages into the,young men and wo¬ men of today. We have made the first step to¬ wards that unknown future of ours, whose foundations have been laid at the Technical School. We owe an immeasurable gratitude to these teachers of ours who have equipped us with the knowledge which will enable us to make our own niche in this busy world of today. When I was a child .1 remember the statement that “ a teacher’s occupation is one of the noblest in the world. Surely there is little other work nobler than the train¬ ing of the mind? Young minds are very receptive and it depends much upon the guidance of the teacher whether young people go out into the world with a broad-minded hu¬ mourous outlook or a narrow big¬ oted view ' . In short it is the teach¬ er ' s task to make good sportsmen out of Ml her students whether they be compounded of good or bad material. We graduates of 1928 have no¬ thing but praise for our teachers. At every step they have given us their cooperation and help, and a kindly interest has been shown in our aims and views. So we sin¬ cerely hope that they may be long capable of carrying on their noble work of instruction. Now ’tis time to say farewell to all dear Tech associations, which with the passing of time will be¬ come but fond memories. So dear to our hearts has Tech become that we feel actual pain at the thought that, we may no longer pass through her doors morning and evening as students of today. No more may the Tech United, that thriving school institution, claim us as members. But every year a graduates pass out of its doors they will carry with them that spirit of good fellowship and sympathy which is tin: bond of Tech United. In after years whenever we meet a fellow creature who has studied under the shadows of Technical Towers we will feel a leap at our hearts and imagine ourselves once more within its dearly loved walls. Steadily the Technical School is building a good name for herself: it is the duty of all students past and present to preserve that name which is gained only afler the ear¬ nest efforts of her teachers! So our parting message to stu¬ dents is: Be happy in your School, Be proud of your School, And Honour your School.” M.

In our school Sheet Metal is taught in all its phases. Ii is a trade as ancient as history. Sheet Metal is bceqnupg mor necessary every year as new ns for it are being found, and uev. Combination of metals are being discovered to meet these needs. From the bumble kitchen to Mi highly-furnished automobile or aeroplane Seems quite a step, yet beet metal or aluminum is the base of these. The modern sheet metal worker must know how to spot, weld, butt vsvt how to operate the hammer, and must have a knowledge of many other things.

The boys do actual repair work under close supervision, and that they do real work is testified by the fact that many cars are on the waiting list ready to be brought in as soon as we can find room for them. Accidents, even minor ones, are rare, because the boys must first learn safety first rules. The best of up-to-date tools are carefully kept in order in the crib in which the boys take their turns in working. In this room many humorous things take place. See Dramatic Sel l Ion.

Heard Instructor of Putlernniaking Where can the boys and girls of today, who are face to face with the necessity of making vocation¬ al choices, find the help they need for this difficult task? Few par¬ ents are competent to give advice to their children. Vocational edu¬ cation as taught at the Windsor- Walkorville Technical School has bridged this gap, and the student is able to begin work as an econo¬ mic asset rather than as an econ¬ omic liability to his employer. Wood pattern-making is one of the several vocational subjects taught. Pattern-making dates Hack to the lime when man first poured metal and made castings for use. Objects made of cast metal are shaped by the process of founding. Enundry practice is that branch of the metal trade, dealing with the melting of metals, and the pouring of thess metals into moulds thai are usually made of sand. 11 will Hi refore lie seen that in order to shape the sand moulds some sort of form is required. Making these forms called patterns is a branch of the metal trades known as pat¬ tern-making. It deals with the modeling of objects in wood and metal, that are intended to be cast 60 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book _ in metal. To become a successful pattern-maker, a thorough know¬ ledge nf the principles of mechani¬ cal drawing and foundry practice are necessary. To many this work may seem wholly a mechanical process, but it is in fact an art which requires a strong effort of the imagination, because all moulding and construc¬ tive features of the pattern must first be decided upon, before actual work on the pattern is begun. No other metal trade affords a greater opportunity for the devel¬ opment of constructive ability than this work. The trade is congenial, clean and well paid. The above pic¬ ture represents the complete pat¬ terns, and necessary core boxes fabricated by students of the pat¬ tern shop for a Sensitive Drill Press which is being made in our school machine shop. Chemistry Room CHEMISTRY LABORATORY The science of Chemistry is the basis of the world’s advancement in the last fifty years. This im¬ portant study is carried on at Tech in the fine laboratory shown above where each student has an indivi¬ dual place to work. The Windroi -WalkerviIIq Technical School Year Book SI MILLINERY The Millinery Department under the direction of Mrs. McIntyre, is certainly a favourite with the girls of the school. Here, the girls of the Technical Department spend a great deal of their time, while the Commercial students have classes once a week during one of the school terms. A three year Course is arranged for girls who wish to specialize. necnnse there is something about hats that appeals to every modern girl, more potently, perhaps than any other part of the attire, the future stenographers make use of every moment of their time spent in this department. The first step towards the Millinery goal, is to learn the stitches, and these are first practised on a piece of cloth, to be made use of later. The style of the hat is then de¬ cided upon, a model being copied or a design originated. The colour most suitable to the hair, eyes and complexion is then chosen, and when the hoods arrive (Tor every smart hat is made from a hood or body hat as it is sometimes called) the girls are ready to start their first experience in hat making. Besides making the hat the pu¬ pil must keep a record of what she spends on it. including time, and compare it with the price charged at a retail shop for a similar hat. The difference is something to make every girl wish she had taken a course with Mrs. MacIntyre. The Millinery students learn to buy intelligently. Buying clothes and materials is a part of the course. The importance of the part play¬ ed by the milliner in achieving the general ensemble of the modern woman, must be emphasized. The perfect design needs two things primarily: creative art and talent, and specialized training in making hats. The creative talent is like other talents: it is born-and developed, but it is not made. How¬ ever, any girl with the average ' rood taste and judgment can copy r adapt styles, and if she has learned Ihe ways of millinery, sh“ •an mak ‘ a chic and stunning hat. DORIS DAY. T3A . -o- A GRADUATE As for the all-important subject, Millinery, it is still fascinating. No doubt, at this season of the year, it is fascinating, or at least inter¬ esting, to every feminine creature and little wonder when you con¬ sider the new Spring styles. With every good wish for the staff, pupils, ex-pupils and gradu¬ ates of the Windsor-Walkerville Technical School. HELEN BEST -o- THE DRESSMAKING DEPART¬ MENT One of the interesting features of the Windsor-Walkerville Tech¬ nical School, is the dressmaking course. The sewing room is fur¬ nished with all the necessary equipment for the making and de¬ signing of dresses or costumes. When I first entered the dress¬ making department, I could not sew on the sewing machine, nor could I use a thimble. Now 1 can use both fairly well, and I could not jvv without a thimble. A girl does not need to have much money to be the owner of lovely clothes. She can make her own clothes with as much style and durability as the clothes she buys. In this department she learns to know the value of materials and how to choose suitable clothing. All the pupils are interested in th coming bazaar and are making different garments for this affair, which is to be held at the end of March. LORRAINE DENNISON, Tl r 2 The Windsor-Walkcrvilie Trrhnicnl School Year Book OUR COMMERCIAL DEPART¬ MENT With the greatest number in at¬ tendance of any vocational school in the Province outside of Toronto, ihe Border City communities should he proud of their Commer¬ cial Department in the Windsor- Walkerville Technical School. This attendance has increased over el¬ even times in the last sixteen years. With a staff of eight Commercial Specialists to lake charge of Hie special commercial work along with Graduates and Specialists in the English and Mathematical bran¬ ches, 1h is school is ' equalled by none in the thorough business and all round efficient training it gives. A commercial education not only should enable one to earn a liveli¬ hood, bul be such that will fit one to enjoy life in the future and make of one a good citizen. Such an education should be broad and practical in English and Business ; l;dhematics, ana lead One to ap¬ preciate good literature, music and art. The above, combined with the sciences allied to commerce, toge¬ ther with a thorough commercial education, should amply tit one for life ' s work. The great success of our Com¬ mercial Department has been ow¬ ing to the fact that we have en¬ deavored to give our students such an education. For our girls we add cooking, millinery and dress¬ making, knowing that the ideal of women is home-making; and these, added to our Commercial Depart¬ ment course, give an efficient edu¬ cation for a successful life. In the accountancy department we give the boys in addition to the regular subjects, blue-print read¬ ing. drafting and auto mechanics, while the girls are taking part in the household arts: thus our boys are more efficiently fitted for all round office assistants and execu¬ tives. Tli Windsor-WnllrefyiHu Twlumnl School Year Hook 63 Our course at present is divided into two regular department s: the Accountancy and the Secretarial, in both of these Departments, all students to jrraduate. must take literature, business English, and oral and written composition, pub¬ lic speaking, business arithmetic, history of Commerce, commercial geography, economics, typewriting, office praetics (including tiling and business machines), junior ac¬ countancy, business law, science of materials, spoiling and penman¬ ship. When one considers the above comprehensive course of study, three years are all too short to ab¬ sorb everything as thoroughly as desired and for that reason we recommend all to take a fourth year, if possible. We have no apo¬ logy to make for our commercial courses or the length of time it lakes. Our courses have been ap¬ proved by a commercial advisory committee chosen from the most prominent business managers in lli border Cities. These men, em¬ ploying office help for years, know the education required for the sev¬ eral positions and so we are certain ' hai our courses are the most effi¬ cient ever devised. To provide for the lulls and gaps that occur our pupils take the add¬ in-. and listing machines, compto- m- or work and billing, and in their fourth year the Bookkeeping ma¬ chine and Dictaphone. To those in their 3rd year who have reached M) per minute on the typewriter, the pri iloge of taking the Dicta¬ phone is given. •V- office typewriting is one of the most important subjects in the modem office, pupils have to take this subject in all years of their coiiisc end the majority reach 50 and 60 words per minute. Medals galore for 50 per minute and over have been taken by our pupils in the past few years. 64 The Windsor-Walkervtllc Technical School Year Book BOOK-KEEPING. BILLING MACHINE, FILING CABINET As legibility and rapidity in writing is one of the great require¬ ments in the business office today our specialists in penmanship do not slight that subject. From the “Ford Motor Co. came the follow¬ ing statement: “It is very appar¬ ent in our every day experience that the value of being able to write legibly is demonstrated many limes in the course of the day.” In the rush today of business life we also demand rapidity with the legibility and our specialists de¬ mand these two qualities in all pupils’ work. Owing to the superior training our girls taking the Secretarial c ourse receive, they are able to take the best positions even though they are very young. They take the work from the start that one would expect an experienced girl to take. A young girl just 17 was chosen by one of the largest corporations in our Border in competition with all classes and ages. Another, a graduate of last year, only 17. and who stood Ifith in her class, is to¬ day secretary to the. medical ad¬ visor of one of the largest corpora¬ tions in Detroit. She takes in shorthand his lectures to the vari¬ ous branch plants he visits and her salary is $125.00 a month. In our Accountancy Department our boys take advanced account¬ ancy instead of stenography and are trained for accountants, audi¬ tors, and general office assistants. All other subjects of the Commer¬ cial course are taken by the pupils of this Department. One of our past graduates was the youngest ever to take the Cer¬ tified Public Accountant’s degree of Michigan and today he is audi¬ tor and office manager for a De¬ troit firm at a very large salary. We never have enough good boys in our Accountancy Department to supply the demand. One of our graduates just 21 is now head of the office for a Windsor firm at a salary of over $2,000.00 a year. The Windsor Wall.prvillr- Technical School Year book 65 ADDING AND T.TSTING. COMPTOMETERS Two new branches add ed during the last year, wore the Dictaphone am! the Switchboard. Tn be a good Dictaphone operator requires high .speed in typewriting, good hearing and a quick and intelligent mind. One of our graduates of last year after a month at night school, 2 days a week, on the Dic¬ taphone. was tried out by the Dic¬ taphone Co. of Detroit. Today she has her own desk in that office at a nice salary. in the latest branch, Ihe Tele¬ phone switchboard, all pupils get practice for a stated period: and not only on the switchboard but oh the regular telephone all pupils get a thorough training. Today with so much business done over the phone we do not neglect this im¬ portant work. For years we have had what we call our Special Form: pupils who have had 3 or more successful years in a Collegiate or High School. The pupils in this form take the full commercial work only and complete the course in a year. Tt is more the nature of a secre¬ tarial than an Accountancy course, tor all both boys and girls, take stenography, and even having the boys take stenography we never have enough boys to fill the posi¬ tions where managers require boys for stenographers. We have an¬ other special form for those who have had one or two years at a Collegiate or High School. In this form the subjects are more varied and corrective of those they ne¬ glected in the other school, toge¬ ther with the commercial subjects of our school. Having an attendance of nearly 600 in the Commercial Department alone, with such a great demand for our efficient students of both branches, together with the great opportunities in the Border and De¬ troit for our graduates, we feel as¬ sured in the years to come, our Commercial Department will make a greater growth and soon come into its own by occupying a new building over the portals of which will be emblazoned, “The Border Cities High School of Commerce.” The Windsor- WalkerviHe Technical School Year Book- 67 FORM REPORTERS TlA—Eugene Ecker TIB—Jack Trotter TIC—Joe McKeehnie TIL)—Jn.

Miss Rosa Huggett and Miss Clara Sime represented C2B.in the annual oratorical held in our audi¬ torium. Though they did not suc¬ ceed in winning the contest, they received much commendation from teachers of our staff. Annie Rollo has been without her gum two mornings this year. On these occasions she lost it on the way to school. Miriam Lietch has at last run out of jokes. She lost the book they were in. C2B has a prominent swimming champion in the person of Marjorie Cosham. Annie Rollo of C2B, is taking part in the school concert this year —Good luck Annie! -o- CLASS NOTES OF C2C The class of C2C had an excellent basketball team. Although we did not win the championship we tried to show the other forms we weren’t quitters and put up a good fight. Into our Tech United program we put our heart and soul, and we 74 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book received much favourable com¬ ment. Our play, Henry 8th, star¬ ring Vivian Weather stone, Phyllis Sehuchard and Jean Legget, re¬ ceived hearty applause.

It seemed as if it would never come. We did not seem to know how much we were attached to the school. Since then the years have gone by so quickly that we cannot ac¬ count for them and we find our¬ selves in our last school year. Rut now things are so different; we are not waiting anxiously for the year to pass, instead we hate to see it pass. We begin to realize in our last year at school, that we shall never return, and it is then that we feel that true love for Tech. Then wo go back and try to retrace our steps. What has happened in lhe past few years? What a keen interest our teachers took in us! As this our last parting year comes to a close, and the curtain is drawn to shut us out of school life, we will all feel that pain in our hearts as we part from “Dear Old Tech. and step into a new life —a life yet to be tasted.

Ask any teacher. They will all tell you the same. C3B is always in dutch. We may he lively and all of that but we have some real ability among our ranks in both literary and athletics. Rose Cantor and Stan Larke have both won their merit pins for high standing, and are still struggling to hold their po¬ sition on the top of the group. We also have an orator in our midst. Abe Feld¬ man was 3B’s representative in the sen¬ ior boys contest and won the champion¬ ship for the school; and when holding up its name in W.C.I. in the Interschol¬ astic contest came third. Typests are frequent in our form but the outstand¬ ing is Edwards. Edwards won a medal for 15 words a minute while about 15 of his class mates followed with certificates for 30 or 35. Did you see the first Tech United pro¬ gram? If you didn’t you missed the treat of the year. C3b was the first to brave the stage and present a program for your approval. They presented “The Literary Piano” ami proved to the school that every member of the class was an actor. Some even earned a position in the school’s play. We also shine in sports. Among the girls the Ouellette sisters, Edith Timme and Salay Allan held positions on the basketball team. Allan Muir was the outstanding half-miler on the track team while Em.

(Our Own.) - 0 - COMMERCIAL SPECIAL A delightful Valentine party was held on February 1 1, in room 306, under the auspices of Commercial Special. The r f 1 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Rook 77 decorations, consisting of hearts, darts, tarts and streamers were very beautiful. A wonderful program was held, and, al¬ though it consisted entirely of amateurs, the performers could easily have lieen mistaken for professionals. A beauti¬ ful poem was rendered by one of the pupils, entitled, “Mary Has a Little Lamb.” This was the title of the poem, not the pupil. A duet, “How Dry I Am,” was sung by two of the teachers present at the affair. We will not mention names, as these “particulars’ ' are unus¬ ually modest and would not wish to have their talents advertised to the world at large. Refreshments were served which were enjoyed by all. Old-time customs were revived by the receiving and sending of valentines, to show the beautiful friend¬ ship which exists between the various members of C. Special. The prize, over which Miss Ethel Levy had tahoured for muny a week, was won by Mrs. Ma¬ bel McGiffin, our honoured guest, for the greatest number of valentines re¬ ceived. So popular is she, and so well- known to everyone in the country, that valentines were sent to her from all parts of the world. Among the favoured guests were Miss Farlinger, Miss Edna Smith and others whose names we do not know. So well did all enjoy the little party that as they left the room they could be heard sing¬ ing sweetly, “I ' m Afraid to go Home in the Dark.” RENEE SKLASH - 0 - C.

JUST IMAGINE Ear be it from us to be pessimis¬ tic, yet if there had been a number of casualties at Tech, this spring, this might have been the “why” and the how.” The February exams, were most disastrous; many of the students committed suicide just after they were over. Mr. Sirrs was killed by concus¬ sion of the ear-drums when Miss Nellie Grondin fell asleep during his class one day. (C, Special are still deaf). Mr. Lowe fainted when he saw that Donald Meretsky was on time one morning. He never regained consciousness. Even Mrs. McGiffin disappeared one night. The only dues she left were a hole in the window and foot¬ steps leading away. Roger Hamel’s stenography paper was found open on her desk. Mr. Dean died in the hospital following the Law Exam. Mr. Srigley, walking to school one morning, suddenly stopped, threw up his hands, and gasping three passed away on the spot. This was doubtless due to his hav¬ ing observed three 80 ' ’s in the last Penmanship exam. The night of the Chatham vs. Tech hockey game, Mr. Morrison glanced around the arena and noti¬ ced some C. Specials attending the game. Death was instantaneous. One Tech-United night Mr. Ad- sett undertook to lead “God Save the King. He went up too high, failed to come adown, and has not been heard from since. During a P. T. period. Miss Beas¬ ley attempted to imitate one of Miss Sumner’s grotesque positions. When she was finally disentangled, she had passed away. Miss Farlinger, hearing about this, died in sympathy. Mrs. Campeau died of exhaus¬ tion writing out obituaries.
