C4 . 25th Anniversary Dinner Even though “The Towers” has gone to press, and every minute counts, we want the readers to know of one of the most important events in the history of W. D. Lowe Vocational School, — the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Ban¬ quet held at Elmwood on the evening of May 4, by the ex-students. With Mr. P. McManus as staff adviser; Ernest Milne, general chairman; Don Newman, chairman of the ticket committee; and Tom Tobin, chairman of the reception committee, who organized their helpers weeks ago, the result was a smashing success. Five hundred ex-students, friends and teachers, arrived to celebrate and renew their old associations. The official welcome was extended first by Mr. Milne, a grad of 28, and then by Mr. S. R. Ross. The toast to the faculty was proposed by Norman Hull of 3! in a witty speech that ended with a personal tribute to our late prin¬ cipal, Mr. Lowe. Miss Mary O ' Donoghue res¬ ponded for the one hundred and sixteen teachers who have served the school during its first quarter century. The toast to the former stu¬ dents was proposed by Miss May Connerty of the staff and in response, the Rev. Frank Swackhammer of ’31 gave the speech of the evening, a mingling of uproarious anecdotes and serious thought inspired by an article once written by Mr. Lowe for an early Year Book, called “I’ve Got A Job.” Mr. L. S. Beattie, Director of Technical Education, expressed his good wishes, and telegrams from Clancy and Mary Fisher, Hon. George Drew and Hon. Paul Martin were read. . Then came the presentation of V’s, our ma¬ jor school award, to each of the eleven teacher? who have been on the staff since the school ' s opening and are still teaching, and to Mr. Frank Bowden who has been the bead of the mainten¬ ance staff all those years. The teachers who received the awards were Misses O’Donoghue. Fritz and Green, Mrs. Campeau, and Messrs. Fraser, Harman, Morrison, Bennett, Sirrs, Seg- gie, and Ross. After “O Canada”, dancing and visiting with old friends ended an evening that will stand aa the highlight of our anniversary celebrations.

But we soon got in trouble. And to our dismay Percy was peeved For the rest of the day. Our work was terrific But troubled we were, For to be specific We had not taken care. Slowly he paced His eyes shone a gleam Not to study, he said. Why we were off the beam. In twenty-five years the school Has certainly changed. “Good heavens”, he ssaid. “What’s happened to brains”. “Gunn, FiHman and Gatti Please go to the front. Now read off your work Or your heads I will pump.” Although Percy is angered. If we do not take care, Our marks become tragic with ease. For if we fail, we’re given the air, And Percy won’t be easy to please. Angles, triangles, degrees, by guff, Percy certainly knows his stuff.

25th Anniversary Edition THE TOWERS Page Seventy-Nine Junior Red Cross (Continued from Page 60) By sending through the Red Cross. No other agencies have the international channels through which they can send these great neces¬ sities. The Red Cross has distributing centres in nearly all countries not under Red domina¬ tion. They can, and do, send tons of necessities directly to places where they are most needed. These are distributed and no black-market pro¬ fiteer can get his hands on them. RED CROSS WORK IN THIS SCHOOL— During the war, the Junior Red Cross of this school purchased an omnibus valued at thousands. This omnibus was used in England during the war. The students raised money to help the tornado victims. They sponsored dan¬ ces, concerts, quiz programs, operas, row of pen¬ nies, and tea-dances. The Household Arts De¬ partment sent clothing and comforters to the children in England and Europe. The students sent smokes to the boys of the school, in the armed forces. Through the loving and continu¬ ous effort of the teaching staff and the student body, this school raised thousands of dollars to help the war-torn countries. RED CROSS WORK IN CANADA— Junior Red Cross members make clothes for poor children all over Canada. Through their Crippled Crildren’s Fund, Red Cross members send deaf, blind, and lame children to schools where they are given loving care and attention. Lame children are supplied with crutches, wheel chairs, and are sent to hospitals. After months of treatment, some of these children are able to run and play just as other children. The Junior Red Cross members also help other handicapped children. We presented Miss Hay, Junior Red Cross Director in Toronto, with a $200.00 cheque. One hundred dollars of this cheque for the children in England, and one hundred for the children in Europe. We also gave $10.00 for the Polish Drive. We have Red Cross waste-paper boxes in each room. These boxes are collected each week, the paper sold, and the proceeds turned over to the Junior Red Cross. So let us have your support for Junior Red Cross. If you cannot contribute money, give us your waste-paper and good-will. Boost Junior Red Cross tea-dances and other activities. Help a worthy cause. Surely there is hope for a healthier, better and more peaceful world, when so many youths believe in, work for and enroll in a Club with such unlimited scope as the Junior Red Cross. It is little wonder then that an organization based on such noble aims and ideals as the Ju¬ nior Red Cross should flourish and increasingly grow throughout the world. • Mr. Newman: Give a definition of a spine. Vince Beneteau: The spine is the most im¬ portant part of the body. My head sits on one end of it, and I sit on the other. fr - - - 3 CONSULT WINDSOR LUMBER COMPANY LIMITED For Your Building and Remodelling Requirements Lumber — Millwork — Wallboards, Etc.
