T M E T O V E R S Page Nineteen W. D. Lowe Vocational The war had been over for almost a year. The men and women were re¬ turning home. It wai a period of re¬ adjustment and conversion. It was at this time, in the early spring of 1946, that the W. D. Lowe Vocational Alumni was reorganized with the purpose of promoting the interests of the Associa¬ tion and of the Vocational School, es¬ pecially by means of Social, Literary, and Athletic activities, and with an en¬ deavour to have the members who had been away, return to their school. As a result of elections, George Vandoorne became our President for the ensuing term. R For the first two months, the Alumni was busy getting re-established p and the Membership Committee, under the supervision of Murray Riosa. was very successful with its sale of Mem¬ bership cards. Then summer came with pic¬ nics, swimming parties, canoeing trips and wei- ner roasts, held at the local beaches. The dance season was introduced with the W. D. Lowe Alumni “Movie Dance”, followed by a Hallo¬ we ' en Party in the school gym. Winter in all its glory completed the atmosphere for the final dance of the season “The Snow Whirl”. During the year, a basketball team had been organize! and is known as the Tech Alumni Team. ..A great deal of credit is due to the fellows who played on this team, as they worked hard in winning games and publicizing the name of the Alumni. At the present time they are enga¬ ged in the Ontario Basketball Association play- downs and have conquered the Chatham, Sarnia, and St. Catharines Teams, and are scheduled to meet Toronto in early ApriL The Alumni fiscal year ended February 1, 1947, and was completed by the W. D. Lowe Vocational Alumni banquet held in the main ballroom of the Prince Edward Hotel, on the evening of February 1, 1947. The guest speaker for the evening was Lt. Col. R. A. Harris, O.B.E. Those who attended were pleased to see so many of the older members present, and it gave old friends a wonderful opportunity to reminisce. The new executive is: William Benca, President; June Truscott, Vice-President; Ger¬ ald Masropian, Recording Secretary; Hazel Providenti and Helen Syzycowski, Correspon¬ ding Secretaries; Mary Martinelli, Treasurer. William Benca has since resigned and we now have June Truscott as our new President and Sam Sasso as the new Vice-President. Row WALTER GORSK1. JERRY MASROPIAN, SAM SASSO. GEORGE VANDOORNE. Row MARY MARINELLI, PRISCILLA KENNETTE, JUNE TRUSCOTT. HELEN SZYSZKOWSKI, HAZEL PROVIDENTI. In closing, let us thank all the members of the Faculty and the members of the organi¬ zation for making the Alumni as successful as it has been. Without their help it would have been impossible to go on. To Mr. Ross, we extend a very warm thank you” for being so lenient and co-operative with us. 1 believe in the old adage of leaving all good things to the last, so I did. Miss May Connerty has graced the organization by being our Honorary Presi¬ dent, and if I were giving out with the HIP, HIP, HOORAYS”, I surely would shout a loud one for our Miss Connerty. A new year is before us. The goal we seek is still far ahead, but with the co-operation of all members, students, and Faculty members, we cannot fail. We are building towards a scholarship for the school. Remember . . . SCIENTIA EST PORTENTIA (Know¬ ledge Is Power) is our Motto. Let it be OUR GOAL. FLASH! Just before “The Towers” went to press we heard that the following staff members are leaving at the end of this school year: Miss M. Belton and Miss E. LeBoeuf are retiring; Mr. F. Morrow and Mr. C. Fisher to other school positions; and Mr. E. Knapp and Mr. G. Smith are leaving the teaching profession. We wish to extend to them our thanks for their interest in the past and to wish them happiness in the future. —THE STUDENTS.

The Five Easy Ways To Make A Hit With Your Teacher 1. Chew gum m every classroom; teachers love to see your jaws moving so happily. 2. If you haven ' t got your homework done, skip school. The next day go down to see Mr. Ross. He will give you a pass after you bring your parents down for a nice little cliat with him. 3. Talk to your neighbour across the aisle while the teacher is talking. By doing this, your teacher will talk to you more often. 4. Call your teachers by their first name. Re¬ member that old saying. Your teacher is •your best friend , and I’m sure you call your friends by their first name, don ' t you? 5. Be friendly with your teacher. Even borrow some money from him if you need it. Of course, you won ' t have to pay it hack be¬ cause he ' ll never miss it. (Will you, Scot¬ ty?)
