This year was no exception, with an increase of just over 1100 students. He noted in speaking for the Staff, "If we hadn't opened three new Elementary Schools, we would have extra large schools and classrooms." Five or 10 years ago the Board set a goal to keep elementary ele-mentary schools at a reasonable rea-sonable size. The schools are opening at about 700 students, some are larger and some are smaller. The junior high schools are around 1200 students and the high schools, about 1500 students. The dedication of the new three elementary schools will be the end of November or the first part of December. - - , diately Dute to coach h his wife. d nearly mily was a roaring i-1, bers of the itball team for their f: ular endei l to listen: nd perk ,e the spoi: strobe 1 the oil . this cone: reluctant;-sr. tViinffrtia: T ' exciting f:: been to f at famous ' )t for me. t: sBYUfK -as Support Group "dividuols caring for cat home with the supped sup-ped to get through diffi-- diffi-- several home health care -i'hUtah County are spondee spon-dee caregivers support rioted by a social worker ''.c'srori nurse.

Along with the aquariums, visitors can also see a ferret house. Fish and ferrets can be found in the Widtsoe Building basement at BYU By Linda Butler Down, down, down at the bottom floor of the Widtsoe building on the BYU campus is an aquarium aquari-um and a ferret house. This is one of the "small but neat" places that we've discovered at BYU. The aquarium consists of six tanks of various freshwater fish and nine tanks of saltwater fish and sea creatures. There are some huge trout, as well as sea anemones, starfish, enormous limpets, and a secretive octopus. During our visit, "Sir Inky" the octopus, kept himself well hidden. It is said that he is most active early in the morning. There were two ferrets in the ferret house, when we visited. They were sleeping, which is something some-thing that ferrets do for about 16 hours a day. Larry in the Zoology Stockroom (room 131) cares for them and may even take one out for your child to pet or hold. Although this floor is mainly offices and classrooms, class-rooms, anyone can come in and view the fish and ferrets. fer-rets. Since this building houses many of the animal sciences, you may see some unique things here. We saw a great horned owl, quietly sitting outside a professor's door. We watched him as quietly and as intently as he watched us which was a good thing, as he is a wild creature. If your family has an interest in fish and sea life, there are dozens of posters on display which show hundreds of types of fish. The Widtsoe building is located at the south end of BYU campus. The building is open from 7 in the morning morn-ing until 10 at night. There is no charge to view the animals. mm FinniuGS'saru Sale Celebrating 25 years of high sneed milling!
