Ten of the thirty-six, instructors
comprising the high school faculty
when asked how they planned to spend
their summer vacation replied Ii terms
to the effect:
well, I'm not going to Europe"

six high school instructors is planning
no European vacation tour for this
summer .--
But few of the high school teaching
corps have determined plans for the
coming vacation. Some, and ma
iorfty, will remain in Richmond. 9th

FOUND HIS OWN DOG
AT FRONT IN FRANCE

In letter to John Nestor, dated
May ? and written at some point on
the Flanders front, Father Bernard
mentions a singular development in
connection with the shipment of Nome
dogs to the French war zone. This
consists of the remarkable fact that
Father Bernard found one dog form
erly owned by himself among the ami
mails employed in the French service.
Concerning the discovery Of the dog
Bernard says that he was for two
months with the French forces in
Alsace and the Vosges mountains.
There he lived life very similar to
that in Alaska and was engaged in
training the soldiers how to handle the
dog teams.
Much to his surprise, among the
435 dogs brought to that section he
found the dog mentioned, which he
formerly owned and drove in Alaska.
The animal was named Sussuk and
reported to the name. Bernard recog-
nizcd him Immediately. He says that
