Michigan Tech Power House |

The E. Baumgardner Co. of Jackson began work Friday on the removal of the old boiler house stack from the Michigan Tech power house. About 150 feet high, the smoke outlet has not been used since the new boiler house began functioning. This new facility has three small outlets which admirably handle all smoke removal. At top can be seen one of the Baumgardner employees removing some of the loose brick. [A man balances on the very top of the smokestack.] Scanned: December 4, 2007 |

Best UNICEF Window in Houghton was what the judges termed this Ed Haas and Co. display on Shelden Ave. About 15 windows were decorated in intriguing lettering and style but the judges, W. Polkinghorne and Robert Haas, found this one most attractive. Houghton Junior High School seventh graders, who did the lettering, receive a $5 prize. The printing is as follows: "If you want to treat all the children of the world give to UNICEF. All pennies count."

Forestry Professor John Veenstra believes in the railroad adage "See America First." So he takes his botany class around the College Ave. campus where a great variety of ash, maple and elm trees grow. "It is well that students know first the trees in their own environment," he says. "Then they can branch out". This group listens in the shade to the instructor, left. When the unit completes the flora course it is ready for fauna (zoology) study. [The group of students pay close attention to the instructor who stands next to a large tree.] Scanned: December 6, 2007 |
