Page Thirty THE TOWERS 25th Anniversary Edition P o e i i) The Tramp Roads so rough and dark and damp. Without such things as food and lamp. And no facilities to make camp. Were made for a dusty, care-worn tramp. A tramp so ragged, tired and w ' eary. In torrents of rain to make things more dreary. Came walking along a rough, dark road. Carrying a small but heavy load. There was nothing but faggots in the sack He carried upon his old. bent back. For a fire to keep him dry and warm Out of the cold and dreary storm. PATRICIA LOWE, C3A. • Something New Down the hall on the first floor. Around the corner to the library door. Now instead of the old “sh! be quiet”, Wc arc greeted by a cutie who needn ' t diet. Who is this cute number in the library. With her around no one will tarry. She is one with the new look plus. And with the boys she never makes a fuss. W hy doesn ' t the school get more like her. That is Miss Gregory, yes sir! And school w-ould be more entertaining To the students, who are not complaining. GORDON CRAW FORD. T3D-A. BE A GOOD SPORT.

Bingo There once was a crooner named Bing, Whom all the girls loved to hear sing. But a new star came along With his heart in his song. So they call for Sinatra. Poor Bing! CIA. • This New Style This new style is driving me maJ, Just stop and look around. On some of course, the look isn’t bad. But the skirts are coming down. As for the length, well 1 don’t know. If it isn’t above the knee. It’s either a foot or two below. It should be in between for me. 1 wish they w r ould make up their mind. To have them medium, short or long, And not a mixture of every kind. With colours that are just as wrong. Now to the blouses they have added a tie, I really mean it, take a look! From the “outlaw” up to the present cry. For that look in Vogue’s Style book. And for coats with their added hood, 1 think they will get by. In these cold days I am sure they w ould. But in spring, this style may die. With the hood, hats are not necessary, But they are making them just the same. Although the babushka will not van-. Like the grand styles of famous name.

25th Anniversary Edition THE TOWERS Page Thirty-One s MEMORIAL On Sunday, November 16, 1947, the Memorial Plaque was unveiled. There was a Memorial Service in honour of former students of the W. D. Lowe Vocational School who gave their lives in the Second World War. The program started with the Processional, then “O Canada” was sung. An Invocation was given by Rabbi B. Groner. After this “O God Our Help In Ages Past” was sung; then the Memorial Plaque was unveiled. Mr. S. R. Ross, the school principal, presented the Memorial Scrolls to next of kin. Major, the Rev. M. J. Dalton, M.B.E., was the guest speaker. Mr. P. L. McManus read the names which appear on the plaque. After this, “Onward Christian Soldiers” was sung. The Benediction was given by the Rev. Dr. Henry Mick, M.A. The service ended with “God Save The King”. The plaque is of bronze and has three sections; the centre is in mem¬ ory of Don Carson, a former teacher, and of former students. On both sides of the plaque are the names of the former students, totaling 191. (This should also include the name of Fit. Lt. Ronald Evans, R.C.A.F., whose name was not reported until recently.) During the service Edward Gates and Bill MacGregor, both brothers of two of the boys who died in the war, stood guard. On the following day, Monday, November 17, a repeat performance of the service was held for the benefit of the students. Following the close of the program, the students marched by in couples before the plaque.
