Spent Two Days Doing Parts of Canada, Niagara Falls, Buffalo,
Cleveland; Safely Home.
The /seniors returned Thursday
night from their trip ' to Niagara
Falls and report having had a delightful .time. They left Saline at
4:30 Tuesday morning and the-first
stop was at Ambassador bridge.
Breakfast was eaten in the ears and
the next stop was at Dundas, where
they took tlie five-mile drive up Dundas hill. Niagara Falls was reached
at 2 p m. and the first thing on the
program was a picnic dinner. After
dinner they visited Burning Springs
and went in the tunnel under the
Canadian falls, and then found tourist homes, the "boys staying in one
and the girls in another. Supper
was eaten downtown in Niagara Falls
and in the evening they watched the
beautiful colored lights on the falls
and went to the American side to buy
souvenirs.
Wednesday morning all enjoyed a
ride in the Maid o' the Mist and some
crossed the whirlpool in the cable car.
They then left Canada and on the
American-side visited tlie Cave of the
Winds. After seeing downtown Niagara Falls they left for Buffalo and
home. In Ohio Mr. Knicely had car
trouble and had to leave his car at
Painesville for repairs. Here they
also encountered a bad wind storm.
The party became separated here but
met at Cleveland, where all happened
to stop at the same tourist home.
Thursday morning in Cleveland
some visited the Great Lakes Exposition, some went to the beach and
some to a movie. At 3 they met at
the tourist home and found Mr.
Knicely ready with his car, so. they
started from Cleveland. Supper was
eaten during a pleasant stop at Cedar
Point and all reached Saline safely
at 10 p. m., with 'one more happy
memory to add to the many pleasant
ones of their High school days.

GEMS  FOR YOUR SCRAPBOOK
"Ambition"
"The true ambition alone resides,
Where justice vindicates, and wisdom
guides: ...
Where public blessings public praise
attend;
Where glory is our motive, not our
end." —Yourig.
"Hardly anything will bring "-a
man's mind into full activity if ambition be wanting."—Sir Henry Taylor.
GEORGE  GIVOT     '
The Revue is being sponsored by
the P. T. A. The two outstanding
stars in the contest will appear at
Tecumseh June 30, where a winner
will be selected to be sent to Chicago
to be the guest of Mr. Givot, who is
heading the new floor show at the
College Inn, Hotel Sherman.
The College Inn star really has a
warm spot in his heart for amateur
performers. He realizes he got his
start through" working with an amateur unit, and he is always anxious
to do his bit in.uncovering new talent. Givot has made a hit wherever
he has played on the stage or in
night clubs by refusing to "go high
hat," and he has always been the
first to push new talent into the limelight.
The local contest may be the first
step to stage and radio fame for
some person, and at the same time
it will present an interesting and entertaining show. Don't forget the
date,  Monday, June 29.
"Unselfish ambition, noble life-
motives, and purity,—these constituents of thought, mingling, constitute
individually and collectively true
happiness, strength, and permanence."—Mary Baker Eddy.
"In heaven Ambition cannot dwell,
Nor Avarice in the vaults of Hell;
Earthly these passions of the Earth,
They perish  where  they  have  their
birth." —Southey.
"Ambition destroys its possessor."
—The Talmud.
