IF AMBITIONS COME TRUE ACT I Scene 1.-The Honorable Dando's pri- vate office. Enter all of the Cast except Mr. John Dawson. On fthe walls of the room are numerous pictures one of which shows Dando in the uniform of a Battalion Commander for any other name? of the Cadets of the Galt Collegiate Institute in Galt back in '31, Other decorations such as ancient makes of swords and axes, numerous makes of guns, etc., are very much in evidence probably because of his ofiice as Minister of National Defence. Hon. Dando- Brown, are there any of those pesky reporters at the door? Brown fonce M.B.P.J- Neo, your Hon- or Hon. Dando- Hipel, send in Dawson my Secretary. Hipel falso once M.B.P.D- Very well, sir. 48 Hon. Dando- Then you two may go. fExeunt Hipel and Brown, bowingj. Right Hon. Smith- To look back on the past when I wrote a column called the G. C. I. Reporter at collegiate, while now I write speeches which are heard by half a nation and read by the other half. I used Lto roll my own cigarettes when the economic situation was bad while now I smoke 50c. perfectosf' Hon. Roelofson- In truth, your honor, well can I remember when I bucked the line for the honor of G.C.I. Did I ever imagine having to push my way through crowds who cheered me? Hon. Dando- Well spoken, gentlemen, and did I, when I led a bunch of Cadets in khaki and yelled, 'Battalion 'shun' did I, gentlemen, ever give a passing glance at the thought of representing the militia of a nation? Hon. Wilkins- Yes, yes, gentlemen, do you suppose that as I aimed my oratorical inclinations at the students and staff of the G.C.I. back in '30 and '31, at Literary Society meetings, do you suppose I ever pictured myself as the Speaker of the House of Commons in the Dominion. Hon. Snelgrove- Truly, truly respected sirs, but in past years as I pole vaulted at the Annual Sports Day at the G.C.I. did I ever think of hurdling a table- and shaking my fist before an opponent in the House, and then deliver a convincing speech. No, gentlemen that was beyond my furthest expectation. Hon. Lorriman- When captaining a junior rugby team against the invaders for the spirit of G.C.I. it was beyond my most fantastic dream to ever even to think of becoming even the leader of the Op- position in the House of Parliament. Right Hon. Smith-- Gentlemen, this meeting is adjourned, but it appears that in however small a measure, history is repeating itself. fExeuntD. ROBERT HILBORN.

SEMPEQ S PE TON i A SEMTER 'fl I' ---- '- . -' f . ' . 51' . j ..., 33 . l . . T 'fi Cadet Inspection AY 9th. A spectacle of precision and training was presented on the spacious campus of the Galt Colleg- iate when the Cadet Corps of this Institute turned out for their Annual Inspection. Each unit carried out its part of t-he ceremony giving proof of careful drilling by Mr. Donaldson, t'he teacher in charge of cadet and physical training. Major Jeffery, of Military District No. 2, was the visiting officer. Many local and visiting military men were guests of the Cadet Corps. The march past and general salute under the command of Major MacIntosh, were carried out in excellent military style. Company and platoon drill followed the inspection of the entire corps, and having completed this, the corps quitlted their tunics and formed to put on a snappy display of physical exercises and games meant to excite alertness and precision. Besides its perfect execution of military ceremonials and manoeuvers, the corps displayed a pleasing sight in their khaki uniforms surmounted by scarlet epaulets against the noble background of the handsome Collegiate building. The entire scene was proof of a splendid effort to make the boy of to-day a real man of to-morrow. ' Banquet OLLOWING their splendid display on the campus, the officers and boys of the Cadet Corps were handsomely rewarded with a banquet prepared by a fcharmingj group of girls of the Colleg- iate, under the supervision of Miss Wig- ham. Having partaken of a full course of tasty food, nexlt in order we enjoyed toasts and speeches by Cadet officers and guests. The inspecting ofiicer, Major Jeffery extended his hearty congratula- tions to the boys on their fine showing in the afternoon. It was also his pleasure to present medals won by members of the Corps during the passt season for marks- manship. Present were the visiting military officers and members of the Board of Edu- cation. All guest speakers were generous in their praise for the work of the Corps. This banquet was a fitting close to a thoroughly successful afternoon. P.S.-W'ho snitched the dozen and a half' spoons missing on checking up after the spread? Ak! Cadet Dance AY the 9th was a big day for the Collegiate-a day filled with color- ful spectacles. First the inspection carried on to the tunes of the Bugle Band, next the banquet accompanied by the tuneful strains of a hungry bunch of boys partaking of a resplendent repast and then the music of t'he Dance, the crowning feature to a splendid day's activity. And what a pleasant feature it was! Tim. Eaton and his Music Makers provided a B 49 rhytthmic program of dance music for some two hundred guests of the Cadet Corps. The thoughts of form fours and right turn were forgotten and wafted away in the notes of Sing you Sinners. Need it be said everyone enjoyed him- self. This closing part of a full day's program was a huge success and remains as a pleasant memory of the end of a perfect day. T
