25tli Anniversary Edition THE TOWERS Page Sixty-Seven Rambling Rumbles By II SASSO The latest feud on the grid at the school is between Mr. “Dusty McGee and Mr. Elec- trons M Anderson. One day, Mr. Anderson was short some material. As always, according to “Dusty . Mr. Anderson borrowed some of the material from Mr. McGee. According to Mr. Anderson, when he received the battle with the stuff, it was coated with a good half-inch of dust. When he cleaned it, Mr. Anderson said it was dated 1639. “Quite a time since cleaning ’, said Mr. Anderson. Mr. “Dusty McGee claims that it was dusted in 1874. Whom are we to believe? The class of T4B-b section has the perfect attendance of the year. There has not been one late pupil or absentee since September. In¬ cidentally, the home-room teacher is Mr. McGee. Keep up the good work ! Mr. Newman’s gym team certainly does be¬ lieve in hero worship. Last December, Mr. New¬ man was sent to the hospital by an attack of appendicitis. He had his appendix out and was back to work in no time. Shortly after he came back to school, he was back at the hospital, not as a patient but as a visitor. Yes, the first hero worshipper was Bob Bodnar who had had his appendix removed. Bob came through the oper¬ ation and was back to school when A1 Harris fell victim to the worship bug and he landed a: the hospital for his appendix gouge. Hero wor¬ ship certainly can prove to be painful. We won¬ der who is next—Mike, Nick, or Bill. ' There has been added another to the list of scholarships already available to the students. The latest scholarship, generously donated by Mr. Van Waffle of W affle’s Electric, is to be a minimum of fifty dollars. It is to be given to the electrical student who rates highest in all around proficiency in school and in shop work. This money will be used by rhe winning studeni to further his education. The competition for the scholarship this year is quite keen. This year, on November 16, for the eleventh successful year, the C. H. Smith store opened its doors for Vocational Day. The students acted as salesmen, and a pupil was stationed in every department. The students were treated to a luncheon at the Norton-Palmer Hotel, with the compliments of C. H. Smith. The purpose for this Vocational Day was to give experience to any student interested in salesmanship or store work as a career. The students were very grateful for the opportunity given them by the C. H. Smith Co., to gain this experience of meeting the public. We have a very musically inclined teaching staff. Mr. Bennett is an accomplished pianist and composer. Now there has been started in this school a choir under the leadership of Mr. Baird. The newly organized group, seventy- five strong is quite enthusiastic. Mr. Baird as¬ sembles them every Thursday night and has entered them in the Essex County Music Festi¬ val which is to take place early in May. With the choir ' s co-operation and teamwork there is a very good chance of our winning the compe¬ tition. Good luck to Mr. Baird and his choir. The silhouette on the left is of our mathe¬ matics teacher. Mr. Bennett. While one of our art students, Vince Beneteau, was engaged in some art work, the brush he was using fell on a piece of cardboard. The result ... a profile silhou¬ ette. 1 wonder if Mr. Bennett is teaching the brush how to make figures. (Not mathema¬ tical cither.) On March 19, our school held a very success¬ ful open house. Students from both Technical and Commercial classes participated in this exhi¬ bition. The students were at assignments and jobs that they had actually worked at during the day. All shops and classes were open for inspection for the parents and friends of the students of the school. The visitors were given a real treat by the gym team. The team was complimented by all who saw them. There was also a fashion show given, in which the students modelled the clothes which they made during the year at school.

25tli Anniversary Edition f H E TOWERS Page Sixty-Nine ON THIS THE OCCASION OF OUR TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY MAY WE BE PERMITTED A GLANCE IN RETROSPECT . . . We see many changes along the way. De¬ partments have been added, courses lengthened, content changed and methods of presentation improved. Probably the greatest change noted because of its physical presence is in the equipment. Starting with comparatively bare walls, there has been added from year to year, machines, tools, apparatus, cabinets, etc., to make the well geared teaching plant we have to-day. Much of this equipment was made in the shops by our pupils. We have every right to be prouJ of this accomplishment. It all required much planning and our plant, as it is to-day, stands as a monument to the foresight and faith of those who envisioned this fine school. To the late Mr. Lowe, Mr. Ross, Mr. Srigley, Mr. Bowden and their able assis¬ tants the credit is given for making our school such a smooth running institution.
