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.

Martin (propony man) The Junior WOSSA toam reach¬ ed the finals against the Stratford Collegiate hoys. 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.

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.
