Their achievements were numerous. They were collecting wild animais, birds, and diversihed samples of mar- ine life on the surface and the bot- tom of the ocean. The cruise was en- tirely scientific. Among the leading scientists aboard was Dr. Waldo Schmidt of the U.S. Museum of N atur- al History at Washington DC ' Them Were scientists representing both Cam ada. and the United States. Entirely different birds, animals, and hsh than we have in our regions were discovered. Following are ex- cerpts from an interwew with Mr. Louis Filley, an intimate friend of Capt. Hancock, who was head of the expedition. He described some of the things they found on their journeys. . ...... the web-footed Boobies, the man-of-war birds of which the males have a large bright red pouch under their long bill possibly 10 in- ches in diameter. Of the Iish, the groupers, Sierras, roostei- fish, with high combs, and tuna, the crabs and crustation also were quite different and most brilliant, typical of tropical coloring. The ferns were 10 to 15 ft. high end the wild orchids two feet across the bloom. The natives of Central and South America are inclined to be smaller in stature than our people, and also more polite, appreciative and patient. Many still and motion pictures were taken of daily occurances by chief ofhcer WC, Switt and staff. Our school was most fortunate in havingCapt. Hancock present his en- semble for, our enjoyment on October 10. It is 0111' wish that at some future time Capt!

On this day all gods, both good and evil, were on earth, so believed the Pagans. The heme, originally Hallow Even mean Holy Eve. In the evening of All Spirit's Day, the dead are supposed to come ba'ck to earth in the form of goblins, black cats, ghosts, and witches. In 7 .. old Ireland the people built bonfires and carried torches around as the Spirits were afraid of light. Now Hallowe'en is a. time for fun and pranks and is a holiday for enjoy- ' ment, as long as we don't go too far. 11.. .1. 1.1-1.19ah WV..- Will Yeu Cooperate? + The grounds haventt been as clean as they should be.

Vanderlip Armistice Day -ono-oe- Armistice Daye comes and goes,.but some of us fail to think of the real meaning of it to those who sufferedin the midst ofithe battle in France, and to those who waited anxiously at home for dear Ones to return. Long days the soldiers fought in the muck and mire. of the battlefield, rushing over dead bodies of their Comrades, but stilliighting: They were tired, very tired, but who of them would quit fighting for the cause as he saw it. And then on the - 11th of November, 1918 the fighting ceased. Imagine the j 0y of the soldiers who for month after month, had been praying fervently for it all to end. And then, later, when the boys werereceived back home with shouts and-cheers, many'mothers who had seen their sons leave for war were denied the joyof a happy reunion. So, When Armistice Day comes With all its pomp and flag wa-V- ing remember not only the football game you are to see, but con- sider the deeper meaning of Armistice Day. e f i O-'-O'.-TO Are You a Barnacle? -O-0-om Have you ever seen a barnacle?
