TRIP TO THE :MUSEUM On October 9,1950 we took a trip through the Dartmouth Museum in Hanover. This tr·ip proved both educational and inter8sting~ On the main floor were biological specimens from all ever the world. These included birds of various types such as the beautiful . flamingo and the rare lyr-e bird,, There were also various scenes showing hon the animal's natural coloring protects him. In one room there were many fish enclosed in glass containers. There were models of one-celled animals of all sorts. These models showed all the various parts of these org~nisms and an analysis below the model told how these parts functioned. On the third floor was the study of .Anthropology or the study of man. There were models showing all types of men and how they lived from · the early cave men to modern times,. There was an Egyptian mummy embalm~ ed long ago when Egypt was a flour~ ishing civilization. There were also shrunken heads, shrunken by an African witch doctor. On the bottom floor there was a study of minerology. In the middle of the floor was a large topographical map of New Hampshire and Vermont. In one room there were many minerals which glowed under an unltra violet light. All in all we had a very interesting time. Dav:i..d Sharp WARMTH FOR 'I1HE WINTER You who have been here previous years, know that the wind over the lake during the winter is quite chilling.
