The picture showed the different types of animal life, as the seal and the penguin, that were seen by the expedition.

W. gathered at the Salem Y.M.C.A. gym for their annual splash party on Sat urday night, January 31. Upon arrival it didn’t take long for the boys and girls to don their bathing suits for a good splash where most of the evening was spent by those who wanted to swim. The others who did not care to swim played games in the gym. After the swim, re freshments were served. Weiners were roasted in the open fireplace and marshmellows were passed around and soon consumed. Because they were having such a good time, swimming, playing, and singing, the group hated to go when the time came to re turn to the campus.
