To Take Up Lyceum Work.
Mr. and Mrs. Harmon Covell and
son left Dundee last week for Detroit
where they wilT* make their future
home. They will be located at 1218
Parker avenue and their household
effects were taken to the city on the
Spohr truck to save time. We were
unable to learn from Mr. Covell just
what he intends doing but it is presumed that this move was made for
the purpose of giving him an opportunity of perfecting himself to take
up special work upon the entertainment platform. He has for a long
time had an ambition -and desire to
become a public entertainer and to
engage himself with some bureau for
that purpose. During the past year
he has been taking private lessons in
Detroit in dramatic art and expression and his many friends here will
wish him unbounded success. Mr.
Covell not only recites in a manner
that is very entertaining and_ pleasing, but he also gives his own compositions, an accomplishment but few
readers possess.
He has grown to manhood in this
village and many friends and . acquaintances in this community will
always be interested in his success
and advancement.—Dundee Reporter.
Mr. Covell is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
D. H. Covell of Saline.

High School to Stage Play.
"At the" Foot of the Rainbow" is the
attractive title of the college play to
be put on at the opera house the last
of the month. For a few years it has
seemed wise to discontinue the practice of the high school play, but this
year sentiment ran high for. its appearance and with the sentiment
went a certain push and snap which
seemed to make it a success from the
start.
The scene is laid in a modern college and the plot centers around the'
atheltic field and a fraternity and a
sorority. The whole is replete with
amusing situations keeping the movement snappy. There is not a dull
moment in the play and the young
people promise the best acting possible to amateurs. Miss Sayre of the
English department is directing the
rehearsals. She has had many
chances to learn the secrets of high
school plays and is proving an adept
at the job..
"The school, as usual, stands united
back of the play and will • descend
soon with an avalanche of tickets,
so prepare for the raid.
March 23rd is the date.
