"The Argus" 19 April, 1934. Page 8. "School Badges Have a Meaning". BRIGHTON TECHNICAL. The crest of the Brighton Technical School is unusual as it is that of the Snowball family. It is a horse's head on a plate sable. The original escutcheon contained three silhouetted heads against the plates. Authority was granted for the use of the family crest as the school badge to commemorate the valuable service given by the late Mr. O. R. Snowball, former M.L.A., when the school was founded and his work as president for several years. The design was slightly amended by the introduction of the chevron, which enabled the words Brighton Technical to be introduced. The crest is used by Cora Lynn Girls' School, the boys' branch, and the senior departments of the school. There is no motto.
