There's a song by that name, sung by Miteh Miller. You do not knew it? Of course not be- cause it was popular back in the 30's. the days of the great depression when only million- aires could shuffle off te any- where. However, it could well have been the theme _ seng| around our school for seme lucky students did shuffle off to|Larry Coros' team, KAPPA, was | |soon as Buffalo.

Fox and Mr. Col- lings took the students to tour} the Adam Beck hydro plant at Niagara after which they had a picnic lunch at the Falis. Then followed a trip to Buffalo and finally on to Niagara N.Y. for dinner and a movie. We'll let them tell yeu about it after I explain the organization of our house teams. HOUSE TEAMS The teams were made up of 12 members. The captains were chosen from amongst Grade 10 boys. Then the student officers picked names at random from the student list te make up the teams. The teams had their first chance to make points en Games Day held annually each Hallowe'en. Relays and such were held and at the end of, the afterneon, the captain possess- ing the most first prize rib bons wen, Then about one week later all the various teams were "chris- gl from the Greek Alpha- et. week, all the students had chances to make many points for their team, For example, ene could earn points for per- fect vocabularies in Latin er French, sports achievements, being on the Honer Roll, stand- ing first place for your grade, typing perfeet exercises ig typ- ing class and a speed of 50 Each day throughout the | Here are a few the trip by some of the lucky students, By BERNARD 0'BRIEN IN NIAGARA On our® trip to Niagara Falls we were taken on a guided tour of the Adam Beck Power Plant. We were shown a movie on the construction of the plant in 1954 and then we went through the $400,000,000 building. The elevater took us down 240 feet and we were shown the turbines and generators. The guide statea that they had 16 generators and 'supplied the needs of all South- ern Ontario and the nearby Uni- ted States. At that time a sur- plus ofy electricity was being produced and only 14 generators were being used. The largest floral clock in the woyrld is situated by the plant and is truly a beautiful spectacle. The canal, byuilt. te diverge the water inte the plant, took six years to build andsupplies the plant with 100,- 000 gallons per second. By HENRY VALKS IN BUFFALO After our lunch at the Falls we were on our way across the border heading fer Buffalo., 'When we entered the city we 'could net help but notice the im- 'pressive buildings such as the 'City. Hall. The city was dotted with beautiful monuments and accounts: of Joseph's istatues. Our visit was made a | little unpleasant by the occa- sional downpour of rain. I great- | ly enjoyed the visit but com- | paring our town and Buffale I Sime rather live in Oshawa. | ENTERTAINMENT By TERRY O'NEIL After a short stay in Buffalo, we went on to Niagara Falls, IN.Y. There, we were to have} | dinner and enjoy a show. As we arrived veveryone lstampeded for the- souvenir shops sand the sights of the town. | Then we went to a lovely dining 'room to eat. Five tables were | Dut together in order to accom- |modate our group. The service | was fast and very efficient and leveryone thoroughly enjoyed himself. The show ended our day' $s activities and we started home again. Although it rained most of the day and all the | way home. I am sure that) everyone had a lot-of fun and we hope that we will be the win- ning team again next year. Sports At McLaughlin By DENNIS DELORME Throughout the winter months the members of the McLaughlin Olympian 'Track Club ploughed through drifts of snow and braved frigid temperatures while jogging endless miles. Dis- tances covered reached as high as 17 miles as the more ambi- tious -- and dedicated -- aver- aged 40 to 50 miles per week.. Many students (and I daresay teachers also) wondered what attraction this drudgery held. First of all, it isn't drudgery. | If it was, no one would bother doing this running. Secondly, and lastly, we also _o yet to/ discover why we . Perhaps it is a way of capruuiian our- selves or simply a competitive urge. FUTURE MEETS With the holding of the Lake- shore District Track Meet, track The Port Perry Skating Club is pleased to report that Anna Forder and Richard Stephens have been invited to skate at the Rotary Ice Review being held in the Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto. This will be for the exclusive enjoyment of Rotarians from all parts of the world who are at- tending a world convention at Toronto. : The lecal club, of which they are members, is starting a fund for the purpose of raising fi- nancial assistamee for 'their transportation and accommoda- tion to the Canadian Champion- ships, being he'd at Calgary, Alberfaearly next year. Several substantial donations a Two Port Perry Skaters Invited To Toronto Show have already been received. Tt would be nice to see the Figure Skating Club Trust Fund grow, thus assuring these young peo- 'ple that the community is be- hind them in their efforts. Any trust fund donations could be left at the Royal Bank of Canada, Port Perry Branch, or with Messrs, Mervin De Nure or Robert Vernon, Sr. Anna Forder, before taking up skating seriously, was an Osh- awa Times newspaper carrier and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Forder. Richard Stevens is also an en- thusiastic hockey player and all- round sport, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfrid Stevens, all of Port Perry. SUPPORT IS APPRECIATED Considered Weill, my lads, here we are once again and this edition of Drake Leg' * will enable us and special thank you to all these, who in some small way contributed to the success of these events. Our' thanks also to Lt. D. Wood, the officers | and rates of "Hawkins" and of | course we must not forget our Divisions from the Sea Ran- gers! We think that all hands will agree, that it: was impos- sible not to have a good in- spection with skipper Edith and her crew in attendance. Tuesday night saw the change of command parade and we can only say that "Captain Ed" sure left a good record to follow. And as we are not aware of our standing at this date, we do feel that we are gradually get- ting nearer the top and this was largely due to the efforts of the Corps im general, while Lt. Kun- kel was at the helm. 18 NAVY CADETS Tuesday next, we are meeting at the barracks and are going to receive 18 Navy League Ca- dets inte the ship's company too! Also, we hepe to be able to meet some of the parents of our new rates. Coupled with this, will be the discussion by the |Captain about our summer pro- gram and the new "Standing Orders". Let's have a good turn- out so that your Division will be eligible for the €O's trophy to be presented next year at the inspection. Uniforms are a must, and of course, you will be inspected.! Dates. to remember: May 36-- North Oshawa Park (Band); May 31 -- Holy Name parade (Band); June 7 -- Camp Sa- mac Parade (Band); July 1 -- Dominion Day Parade (ship's company); Sept. 13 -- Church parade (ship's company); Sept. 19 -- Canadian Corps parade, Oshawa (ship's company). About the Jatter parade, yours truly witnessed the inspection of the Army Cadets last Wed-| nesday evening, and boy they were sharp, so with their band and marching types, the compe- tition to hold the present trophy |} may be a little keener than it Oshawa. The MCVI boys' meet) is being held on a _ three-day basis: beginning today and end-| ing on Thursday, May 22. The | All-Ontario Championships are set for this coming Saturday. For those who are afraid of not winning an event, and thus do not wish to enter in it, I quote the Olympic motte: "Tt is and field. got into full swing in 'part."* Sea Cadet Inspection Successful was last year. Also we have our own regatta.at York to think abeut in late September so these little activities will keep us suppert | busy. Latest reports from "Bilges" are that plans are underway for a dance on Saturday, May 30, oe abeut this Tuesday. An- -|other item that caught our eye :|was the mention im a certain column of a character called B.J., must be some guy whe has away with the ladies (or is is that geintle touch achieved through long 'hours of practic- ing the trumpet?)
