Y., Bog Mr. Arthur Shields’ Botany 1 class took its first field trip of the school year last week when it paid a visit to the well known Clymer Bog, situated near Clymer, New York. Two cars of students accomp anied their instructor as the class got its first look at the ancient little lake that is almost entirely covered with a. great variety of vegetation and other sundry grow ths. Probably one of the most out standing growths in the bog was the fairly rare pitcher plant which grows in abundance around and in the swampy area itself. Along with it the students found a good amount of sundew, another .of the insectivorous plants. Cranberries also were discovered in profusion, but Mr. Shields is not too sure .these were enjoyed by all. . .“One of the outstanding features of the bog,” stated Mr. Shields, “is the fact that small pine trees are growing right on top of the water’s surface along with other growth varieties.” Everytime the group jumped up and down, the pines and. vegetation seemed to weave and ripple with the surface of the lake. While getting. practical illust rated instructions from their lec ture the students were kept busy at times dodging or side stepping mushy spots and occasionally muskrat holes in the bog. The class brought back one pitc her plant and several other re presentative species which are now on display in the botany lab in Room 107. Mr. Shields warns, however, that the pitcher plant is showing marked signs of be coming, extinct in local areas and that in most instances the layman should refrain from taking it from its natural habitat. Other fields trips, which are a part of the scheduled agenda for botany classes, are to be taken in the future with one possibly taking place on Erie’s Presque Isle; Dedication Continued from Page 1 The public. will have a chance to see how. this building has been con verted to fit the College’s needs, the pine-paneled living room be coming a, library, the other first floor rooms serving as offices, .dis pensary, cafeteria and' dining space, with thie upstairs contain ing mainly the women’s dormitories and several faculty apartments.
