The Wiiulsur-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 2i» TECH UNITED SOCIETY Once more the Tech United en¬ tered the activities of the year. 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. C2A gave a humorous play “Grandma Pulls the String.” T2A’s

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. These exchanges have brought us into close touch with school life in schools both far and near. We hope that these exchanges may continue for they have been very interesting and helpful to all. CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL OF COM- MERCE, Toronto, Oat.—A very nicely arranged book. A few more cartoons would add to its interest HERMES (Humberside C.I., Toronto, Ont.)—Material well arranged. Congra¬ tulations on literary department. Alto¬ gether a very interesting magazine. LANTERN (Saskatoon) — Numerous pictures add interest. Success to the Albani choir. Staff picture might be given more prominence. 0. A. C, REVIEW (Guelph Agricultural College)—Very interesting. Would like to see an exchange column. More pic¬ tures would improve it. ACTI LUDE (Oshawa Collegiate) — It would have been better to have had the advertising entirely separate from the reading material. A few more cartoons would also have improved it. PURPLE AND GOLD (Newmarket High School)—A very good magazine for a small school. How about a few more pictures and a “Table of Contents?” TECH TATLER (Riverdale Technical School, Toronto)—A few pictures might improve this. Interesting. VULCAN (Central Technical School, Toronto) — Material well arranged and very good. Your cartoons are excellent. “LAMPADION” (Delta Collegiate, Ham¬ ilton)—Very interesting reading. The advertisements should be kept by them¬ selves. L.C.C.I. REVIEW (Central Collegiate, London) — One of our best. “TECALOGUE” (London, Ont.) — A very interesting magazine. Wc would suggest you have the name of the school more conspicuously displayed. L.T.S. appearing on the cover is a hit ambigu¬ ous. It might mean “Ladies Training School” or worse. More pictures would make the magazine more attractive. We all are childlike enough to like pictures. “TECH TATLER” (Exhibition num¬ ber, Riverdale Technical School, Toron¬ to) — It is excellent. We would suggest more pictures, and more local news; and an Exchange column. “THE TECHNICAL COLLEGE RE¬ VIEW (Christ Church, New Zealand) — A very line account of school life and activities. A Table of Contents would improve it.

They also presented a short plav taken from the time of Henry vin. C2B put on a play called “The Real Princess;” a recitation and a solo dance followed the play. This program showed variety and life. Tech United is hoping to have a better year than previously, so let us all summon our best resources and make it the outlet for our liter¬ ary abilities. May Tech United chntinue to grow from the tiny seed planted grow greater in creating a spirit of unity and good fellowship among the students.
