76 The Windsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book FORM C3A I can remember as a first former how we all looked forward to our third, and for most of us, our last year at school. 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.

Prepare for a test next day. Stop your talking! Well, if you don’t know, who does? Now, isn’t that so, girls? 1 see nothing but blan k expressions. Girls! get in line! Didn’t you hear me tell you to stop talking? It’s simply gorgeous. MARY DOLOUGHAN. 03A. - 0 - C3B 03B is one of the liveliest groups of students that have ever gathered under the towers of Tech. 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. A wad was winning honors for Tech on the golf course. - 0 - Old Lady (to group of boys who, after attending mass, were playing ball in front of her home):—Here, you boys, you must get away from in front of my home; I want you to know that we keep the Sabbath all day in this house. “Gee, lady, you must he Scotch, re¬ plied one of the boys.

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. Special A class of specialists are we! Of special what—do you not see? We’re doomed to stardom, every one; Compete with us?—It can’t be done! And now just come with us some clay When twenty years have slipped away; Weil guide you safely near and far, And show you where our Specials are. An office first doth meet our gaze. Rut list —“Miss Brown, you spend your days In sloth, and now you’re late once more.” Thus came Meretsky ' s deaf’ning roar, For he was never, never late. So what cares he for others’ fate? “Such laziness! You make me tired. Just once more tardy and you’re fired!” And what does this new playhouse show? Ah. of Chris Carron you must know, For she who starred in “Seventeen,” Is famous now on stage and screen. Now who is this sweet, prim old maid? ’Tis Mabel Gignac old and staid. Her mission’s in a far-off land To help the heathen learn shorthand. We see in tears a little nurse; “Why. Miss McDermott, what’s the curse?” “You see, my orders w ere to give Two spoonsful, that this lad might live.” “Two spoons of what?- it slipped my mind, So 1 just mixed up every kind; The boy grew white, so white—then. lo. I heard Doc. Leishman just say ‘Go’.” We learn Miss Grondin, known of yore, Was in a trance a month or more; In school we knew she slept all day, Alas—she’ll sleep her life aw ' ay. And here we see an old-time fair. And who’s the clown that ' s acting there? Why Hamel, whom we knew T at school, E’en there he oft did play the fool. Across the way stands grim and still A school—and on the window-sill Leans Dewhurst, gazing at a fly— He ' s science master, by and by. And now as evening draweth nigh We end our journey with a sigh; But first let’s join both each and a To give C. Special one Hurrah! Contributed by C.
