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.

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.

The Wimlsor-AValkervillp Technical School Year Book 59 THE AUTO SHOP “Gee, fellows, there are lots of ears intoday, that means lots of rk.” How often that expression greets I he ears of a listener as a class is coming into Rom 111. otherwise known as the auto mechanics class room and shop, because most of the time is spent in working on autos as well as spending a certain amount of the time in studying the construction and theory of the modern autos. 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
