25th Anniversary Edition THE TOWERS Page Five r l j a t i 11 q s VOCATIONAL UNITED EXECUTIVE- HILL ELLIS. Pres.; MR. C. WALLEN, Co-sponsor- VR. C. COLE. C.of F.; MIKE BENCA. Vice-Pres.: MARY L.AZUREK, Sec.; .MISS O. FRITZ. Sponsor; RUTH ROLLET, Treas. As president of Vocational United I wish to say that 1 appreciate the honour bestowed on me. There is no doubt about the old saying, “A School Is What The Students Make It”, and this axiom can easily be applied to our school Year Book, as such a project is what the students make it. Of course, there are always two sides to every story. To some people a Year Book is merely a few pages of printed data bound together, but to the stu¬ dents who have taken an active part in the school activities it is more than just that. It is something that helps to create a warm feeling among fellow classmates. To both teachers and students who have taken an active part in this project I wish to express my heart felt appreciation. 1 personally hope that the Year Book will be a real anniversary success”. BILL ELLIS A SHORT HISTORY In the clays of Mr. Arthur Lowther, head of the English Department, 1924-1925. his English classes presented many entertaining and effective programs in the auditorium. One very successful debate was on the subject—Resolved: Students should not carry textbooks home”. During Mr. Vooden’s headship of the English Department, even more prominence was given to the Literary Society and to the Dramatic Club by promoting competitions among the classes and giving prizes. An interesting play was presented in 1926—“The Man Who Married A Dumb Wife . Lucky fellow! But he didn’t know it. In 1926 it was felt that the school was ripe for a society that would federate existing clubs. A contest took place for naming the society. A very happy suggestion was Tech United”. The name referred to the union of the commercial and technical departments. In 1947 when the school was renamed, it became “Vocational United”. The new society held elections in September. 1927, and the N ear Book of 1928 has a fine picture of the Executive Committee. Our late principal Mr. W. D. Lowe, and Mr. C. Adsett represented the teaching staff and the president was Mr. John Rogers. Mr. Rogers finished his account of Tech United with the phrase On with Tech United!” It has gone on and has functioned each year since that time. Mr. Quenneville, a member of the staff, 1930-1934, drafted its first constitution. Only minor changes have been made in the original. TO VOCATIONAL UNITED .. . . . . and that means all of you, greetings from your sponsor. To the executive and all representatives, for their co-operation, my many thanks. To be at EVERY meeting, to give a good report of it next day to a class, is a splendid habit and someone Has said habits become character and character destiny. This is our TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY. There have been many changes and much has been accomplished since this school opened in September, 1923. Charles Dickens, you remember, entitled one of his novels Great Expectations”. This might well become our watchword. Let us expect great things of ourselves, our executive and of one another. Let us FINISH the year with GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS. O. E. FRITZ
