Study of 600 Year
Old Tree Made
Through the courtesy of the J.
W. Copeland yards the Leslie shop
classes are having the privilege of
studying the cross section of a 600-year-old
tree. The section Is mount
ed In .a plyboard frame which
shows the original size of the tree
which was six feet In diameter,
When the English parliament came
to power In 1308, the diameter of
the tree was about one Inch, and
when Plzzaro conquered Peru In
1535 It was ready for harvest. It
was 611 years old when It was cut
The students have been much In
terested In the fact that the rings
which mark yearly growth furnish
an accurate record of climatic con
ditions during its half century of
growth. When the circles are wide
and dark, a good growing season
with plenty of rainfall Is Indicated,
and when they are thin and light
a dry season Is shown.

for report cards. It seems that prac
tically everyone In school Is ex
posed because more keep getting
them. Miss Esther Arnold, the girls'
gym teacher, has been home with
them also.
