Page 6 THE FULL MOON March 14, 1952 Biology Students Enjoy Trip To Nature Museum The trip to the Nature Museum in Charlotte made by Mrs. Lyke and 29 biology students on March 6 interested the students a great deal, according to a report by Margaret Brunson and Kathryn Groves; Dear Jane, Wish you could have stayed a day longer on your visit because you really missed something! Our biology class chartered a bus to Charlotte for an adventurous tour through the “Children’s Na ture Museum”. Gosh, was it in teresting! We left here at 8:30 and '^got back at 12:00, just in time for lunch. When we first arrived, we were shown a movie on the metamor- phasis or changes in the life of a frog. It was really interesting to watch the development from the egg to the tadpole, the young frog, and finally the adult frog. We then heard several records from the album, “Voices of the Night”. The records were of different species of male frogs calling their mates. There were many sounds we'd heard on sum mer nights but had no idea they came from the throat of a frog. Next we went into the “live room”. This was where the live animals “boarded”. Believe it or not, we held and petted a skunk! His name was “Stinky”, a pigmy skunk from Florida, and his cousin, “Sachet”, was from North Carolina. “Blackie”, the mischievious pet crow, snatched a key from the hand of one of the boys and hid it under the straw on the floor of his cage. Miss Laura Owens, the museum director, finally coaxed the crow to give the key back, though he seemed determined to keep it. Also among the animals vvere snakes, an alligator, several types of turtles, hampsters, flying squirrels, albino mice, a raccoon, a red fox, and several other an imals. In the aquatic display were aquaria with different spe cies of fish. A showing of rocks and finish ed and unfinished semi-precious stones captured our interest. Jane, you should have seen the stuffed bear and eagles we saw. They were so realistic! There were just loads of other stuffed animals, too. Miss Owens was a wonderful hostess. She helped make our visit very worthwhile. Well, maybe now you're con vinced that you should have stay ed another day and not missed the educational trip. Am I right? We hope you’ll come see us again soon and stay longer.
