During her 32-year teaching care

stressed neatness to her pupils.
That was one reason it distressed
her so much when the weeds in

She called other former pupils Of
the now retired teacher.
Sunday morning at 9 o'clock
sharp former Mccormick students
began arriving at their one-time
teachers home. The men-folk
cleared off the weeds, spaded up
the grounds, sowed grass seed and
had the new lawn all watered down
by noon.
The women cooked food for the

And all sorts of gifts arrived
from other former pupils. There
were flowers, a lawn chair, a can

Lower California Holds
Link With Past

LOS ANGELES - (AP) - On
Cape San Lucas, the southern most
extremity of Lower California, ex-
lists one of the last strongholds of
the flora and fauna which perhaps
characterized Southern California
several milleniums ago. Slowly re-
treating from aridity and other
factors, this semitropical area con-
tains plant and animal life that
furnish and important link with
the past.
Two U. G. L. A. biologists, Char
les Lowe, Jr., and Kenneth Norris,
are on an expedition to gather
plant and animal specimens in The
area. The expedition is being spon-
sored jointly by the University
and the Palm Springs Desert Mu-
scum.
The biologists report that dis
tribution of the animals alone may
tell a rather complete story about
the climatic changes that have TAX
en- place in southern California
over a period of many years. The
fact that the same species exist
in isolated areas in various latitud-
es along the coast indicates thai
the arid regions in between have
only recently (geologically speak.
ing) been formed.
