Let’s face it, my fellow seniors. We’re all looking forward to getting out. We long for freedom from train-like minute bells and the “No Hat” rule. Even though we do like the diversity and unique-ness that is Logan, we want to go, just like the various decades of senior classes did before us.
From wikipedia:
William Francis Giauque (May 12, 1895 – March 28, 1982), born in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, on May 12, 1895, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1949 for his studies in the properties of matter at temperatures close to absolute zero.

As his parents were U.S. citizens, they returned to the U.S. where he attended public schools primarily in Michigan. Following the death of his father in 1908, the family returned to Niagara Falls, where he studied at the Niagara Falls Collegiate Institute. After graduation, he looked for work in various power plants at Niagara Falls both for financial reasons and to pursue a career in electrical engineering but was unsuccessful.
