the entire program for assembly on
Friday. Mr.. Earl Slipher, council
member and astronomer of Lowell
Observatory, spoke on "Fire Preven-
tion and the Future of Flagstaff"
Mr.. Ed Miller, chief forester of Co
conino forest, spoke on "Places of
Interest in the Forest" He brought
along specimens of trees which ha0
been felled by beavers to illustrate
his talk. Conservation was the main
theme of both talks and one of the
ideals of the forest service. This
makes the second enjoyable talk Mr..
Miller has given to students recently,
the first being on Arbor day.
Assembly was dismissed in unique
manner. First all those who had
been to Clear Creek were allowed to
go. Mr.. Ridgely was the only one
eligible. Next all those who visited
Oak Greek were dismissed. About half
the student body got out on this. FL
nally all those who had been to Lake
Mary we're let out and this left no
one. Mr.. McMullen did this, he said,
to find out and "show off" how well
students we're taking advantage Of
Flagstaff's great out-of-doors.
