Crater High School 'By JUDI DAVIS He placed a hook around "The Thing" in the large container and called for help. When help came, they both began to hoist "The Thing" out of its resting place. Its pink stomach ap peared followed by eight limp legs. It looked like a wad of old stale bubble gum, but it was only a pale pink octopus! "The Thing" belonged to Phil Betzold of the National School assemblies. Betzold presented his deep sea exhibit assembly last Wednesday. Besides having the pink octopus, he had a wide variety of unusual fish that had been preserved. He also had a number of tropical underwater plants and animals. Along with these things, he told some inter esting stories about this experi ences as a skin diver and a suit diver. The climax of the assembly was the unveiling of the weird looking octopus. It actually was pink, being of a rare type of the red octopi family.
