Horse Lover to the End
LONDON — In all his 85
years Walter Lavender never for
gave the internal combustion en
gine for replacing the horse. He
never rode in an auto.
His granddaughter, Jill Cavan
agh, told newsmen: “He once
pointed to a motor hearse and said,
I don’t want to go to my grave
in one of them. It isn’t fit and
proper.’
“When he knew he was dying,
he made my grandmother and me
promise that we would get him a
horse-drawn hearse.’’
At first the family had no suc
cess. “There isn’t an undertaker
in the country who still uses
horses,” they were told.
But Walter will get his wish. A
film studio is providing four bays
and a splendid black carriage to
carry the horse lover to his grave
Friday.
Walter in life traveled in his
own horse cart.
“We had thought,” Mrs. Cavan
agh said, “that if we couldn’t get
this hearse we might take him to
the cemetary in his own cart, be
hind his old mare Brenda. But
I’m afraid she might have been
too frisky.”

Suspended Students
Return to Classes
PITTSBURGH UFI — Forty-five
pupils returned to classes at near
by North Hills High School Mon
day after serving five-day sus
pensions for what school officials
said was improper clothing or hair
styles.
E. D. Kruse, supervising princi
pal of North Hills Joint Schools,
reported that four pupils at West
View Junior High School and four
at Samuel Hamilton Junior High
School were given five-day sus
pensions Monday for the same rea
sons.
North Hills School authorities
last Monday began suspending
pupils who, in their opinion, vio
lated the schools’ grooming code
by wearing tight-fitting skirts or
trousers or by having wild hairdos.
By the end of the week 71 high
school pupils had been suspended.

Biology Students Visit
Fish and Game Office
The High School biology classes
met Monday, Feb. 18, in the State
of Alaska Fish and Game office
with John Burns, research biolo
gist in charge. Mr. Burns explain
ed some of his research with ma
rine mammals, showing the stu
dents how age of walrus is deter
mined by sectioning the teeth and
how the number of young pro
duced by each female walrus is de
termined by examining the ovaries.
Mr. Burns stressed the impor
tance of a good English background
for any research worker, including
knowning where to look for ma
terial already published by other
scientists and writing up his own
research for publication.
The students were particularly
interested in the various mammal
skulls that are part of Mr. Burns’
research. They were pleased that
the reindeer skulls prepared in
class the previous week compared
favorably with those in the Fish
and Game collection.
