LST'S GET OUTSIDE
Spring is hero and so we
will want to play out of doors,
gctting the benefit of the sun-
Shine. To do this, however, we
must pay g00d attention in class
so ve will not have to remain in
school aftcr school hours to have
conferences.
We should go out in the
fresh air after school and do our
homework at night when ve cannot
play outside, In order to have
organized play out of doors it
vould be well to choose sym
classes which are carried on out-
side.
I f we are active and healthy,
our minds will be clearcr and we
will be able to get our studies
in sehool
nore oasily.

HIS
A voyage to the Windward and
Lecward Islands, the principle i
lands of tho Yiest Indies, is
of the most educational and inter
esting obtainable.
It is off the beaten path of
the usu+l West Indies cruise,
many of the ports visited have
played important roles in the
history of the new world.
I sailed from New York Maren
2 on the R.M.3. “Norissa", a sl
of about 6999 tons, carrying 13
passengers. The second day out
of New York the sea was very rough
and the ship rolled heavily as we
a aproached the Gulf Strvam. The
third day the watcr ealmed and a
day later we hit the blue vaters
of the tropics and got cur first
glinpse of the flying fish. Fly-
ing fish range from thrce to about
eight inchos long and look wery
much like small monoplanes skin-
ming across the sea, from two to
three fect from the surface, near
the bow of the ship.
On the fifth day wo reached
St. Thomas, the princinle port of
the Virgin Islands, a possession
of the United States, purchascd
from Denmark about 13 yeabs ag
The Virgin Islands had been owned
by Denmark since about 1625 and
many of the Danish customs still
prevail. It is vory interesting
to study the mannerisms and the
customs of the natives. St... Thoma
is of volcanic origin, but is
extromely fertile. On the greon
slopes are seen endless banana pol
groves. Up to = year ago it

ROGGR WILLIAMS TSLLS ABOUT
HIS RECENT WEST INDIZS VISIT
(cont. from p. 2)
Virgin Island group, St. Crois
has a number of good bathing
beeches. The tovns have Dmish
names such as Frederiksted and
Christiansted.
From St. Croix we visited 3t.
Ktss, a British posséssion, pass-
ing the islands of Baba and St.
Hustatus, still in the possession
of Holland, about eight miles
from St. Kitts. Sugar cane is
the principle crop. One of the
interesting sights is Brimstone
Hill, an old historic fortificas
tion. The population of St. Kitts
is about 30,000 scattered over
the island.
Leaving St. Kitts we tra-
velled eastward to Antiqua, also
a British possession. It has a
population of about 35,000, mos
of whom cultivate sugar cane,
which is sent to St. Johns,
where sugar is made. Antiqua ir
the seat of government of the
Leevar Islands, under Great Br:-
tain.
One of the interesting si
on the island of Montserrat is
the Botanionl Gardnes, ‘where all
sorts of tropicrl trees, phants,
and flovers may be seen, jhile
walking to the Gardens I saw
many lizards, some of them about
tyvio fect long. Tho natives eat
these lizards. They say it
tastes like chicken.
I realized the necessity of
knowing French when I visited
Guadeloupe, a French vossession,
one of tho largest and most pros-
perous of the West Indies. The
principle port is Poimte-cpitre.
Here I saw the ruing of a great
hurricane that swept the Carriboa:
in 1928. Ome must understand
French curreney to make pur-
chases.

ued in future issues of the
