Last Saturday the geology class went on a field trip to Sunset Moul tain and lava beds. MT. Gunter ana MT. Drake took the class out
 The Sunset crater and lava peus are typical of both the quiet and ex- plosive types of volcano. The breccia, iapilli, volcanic bombs and cmoers that make up the peak, large streIcn of surrounding country and clhuef hills all about are very typical or the explosive type and indicate long periods of explosive action. The lava beds lie very conformably upon the cinders where the streams of molten mapmatic rock ran out quietly after the interior pressure had somewhat decreased through the explosions;
 There are at least two distinct lava Flows present One to the northeast is distinctly more weathered and of different type of rock than that more to the west. It is not possible to de- termine from the known evidence what the age of this volcanic field is except that it lies above the Pennsyl- vania formations. There are tree stumps in the formation with annular rings denoting ages from two hun dred and fifty to three hundred years. To permit the growth of trees in this formation there was necessarily time lapse of erosion and soil making. The class with Mir. Gunter's aid esti- mated the time since this volcanic activity ceased to be not less than thousand years and this is considered to be one of our most recent vol canoes.
 It is interesting to study this for mation that furnishes good exam pie of the earth's activities and pro- cesses of development to its present stage. The geological value of these formations are not only often valu- able commercially, but to the ad- vancement of human knowledge and more progress for the future by in terpreting the past. The students are fortunate in having concrete ex- ample of one of the earth's processes and activities near to study.
 Monday evening the high school seniors presented their play, Hurry, Hurry, Hurry" to an audience that completely filled Ashurst Auditorium. It was comedy drama in four acts, and every one filled with laughs. The students who took the parts in the play were: Leon Egner, Ernes- tine Steele, Walter Boice, Eva Moson, Donald La Rue, Roy McFate, Law renee Campbell, Amy Patterson and Zoe Glassey.
 Parts have been assigned to Nor maj students for their play which they will begin on this week. The books of Pinafore have also arrived. This is the play that Dr. McMullen is specially interested in and the char acters for it will probably be chosen soon.
 Dr. David Spence Hill from the University of New Mexico was guest last Tuesday. That morning he addressed student body and facul- ty. One of the remarks he made dur ing this speech was especially notic- ed by the students and remembered, the likeness of all women to angels is in the amount of their apparel and that they are always harping on something.
 In the evening Dr. Hill spoke to public gathering in the auditorium.
 Last Saturday number of the students went on the logging train to Lake Mary and some went on to Mormon Mountain for days outing. Most of them caught fish in the lake and all of them got ruddy complex ion. Miss Margaret MitchePs face seemed almost immune to sunbu1n except the end of her nose that turn ed a real old rose reddish hue that looked for all the world like an over ripe strawberry.
 MT. Gunter went fishing in Lake Mary Sunday and caught so perch. He said that the fish bit so fast that it kept his wife and son busy batting hooks for him. As he caught them he just threw them into a box where he left them until he got back home when he dumped them into the bath tub to clean them. When he turned the water on them he found that a large number of the fish were as much alive as ever so he brought them to the Normal and started an
