C Biggest Boarding House Feeds Residents

Where is the biggest boarding
house in Washington? Before you
start guessing, We'll tell you. It's
at the Zoo, where many of you
have gone to see the animals on
Sundays.
It's fun to watch the animals, and
It's nice to know they're safely be-
hind the bars-particularly when
they are hungry. They are fed at
different times of the day, so that
q visitor can spend almost the en-
tire afternoon watching them feed.
Perhaps some of you have seen the
lions and tigers fed-but do you
know how much they eat?
The big cats-the lions, tigers and
leopards, that is-are fed at 1:3O
pm. They get their beef raw-about
10 pounds each, every day-and in
many cases the bones must be
rounded off to prevent the hungry
animals from tearing their throats
on sharp edges. That's all part of
the work of the staff which pre-
pares the animals food.

the harp.
Cornelia says there are fewer than
10 harpists in Washington. The
apparent difnculty of the art did
not, however, deter her, and she
began her training under the tute-
lage of William Truesdale Cam

Orchestra.

hardships apparently. Cornelia right

Cornelia is q veteran contributor
of readable poems to The Junior
Star. and spends much time writ
ing the verse, which she says, "just
seems to come out" But playing
the harp occupies lot of her time,
and she plans to continue with it.
Whether or not she intends to
make a career out of the ancient
art is another question. Cornelia
enrolled as a student at Holton-
Arms this fall. and later plans to
60 to college. There, she says, she
will continue with her harp play
ing. What she wants most to do,
however, is to become an intcrna-
tional lawyer.

Monkeys are pretty pickey about
what they get to eat. They de-
mand, and usually get, such things
as fresh milk, sliced bread, boiled
sweet potatoes, ripe bananas, apples,
oranges or grapes.
Some of the animals must have

How many of us know the
Importance and joy of good
school spirit?
School spirit is as important
to the schools as teachers and
courses of study. What would be
the use of good books and care
full teaching if the pupils did
not work together to profit by
the opportunities and advan-
tages offered to them?
Many students do not like to
play basket ball, baseball or any
of the other games. They forget
the friendly competition which
is part of these games and is
an important element of good
school spirit. Basket ball and
volley ball and other contests
are good not only for those who
take part but they also are good
for the school.
We need school spirit. Won't
you cooperate in trying to de-
velop it?
