Why We Call It . UQZNHHIIHIS The Chamberecl Nautilus is an animal found in the South Pacific and Indian Oceans. Biologically this animal is closely related to the common snail. The shell of the young Nautilus resembles a small horn. As the animal develops, its little home assumes the form of a spiral, and each stage of its growth is indicated by a chamber closed at the rear. In other words, the Nautilus moves forward as it grows, forming a partition behind it when it enters a new chamber: thus in the outermost compartment the living animal is found. When the first year book of the Mifflinburg High School was published in 1924, those in charge were confronted with the selection of a suitable name. After mature deliberation the name Nautilus was selected. This selection was made because of the special significance attached to it, and because it represented the method of un- folding the history c-f the school. As a result all available information concerning the history of the school, from its beginning, was published in the first edition. This book was appropriately dedicated to the- alumni. Since that time each class has contributed a chamber in the structure. Each year the chamber becomes larger, typi- cal of the development made by the school. The class of 1944 is happy to build the newest and, we hope, the largest cell in this ever enlarging structure. Page Three
