The neglect of the wetches, some of which were of ex- pensive makes, is believed by police to indicate either that the thieves were hurried or that they had no more room for bulky articles.

Professor Lee his churlcterized the building in terms of higher praise. The Telescope The telescope was built for Elm Description F The new observatory is set up on a reinforced concrete platform tutchured to and resting on parapet walls where the intermediate school building and the auditorium come to. ttether. It is " the back of the build- ine and only partially visible from Sheridan road. It is reached by spe- eial stairs passing up through the second Ronr costume room of the audi- torium into a small pent house open- ine upon the roof. The housing con- sists of a low tower surmounted by a twelve foot dome which is mounted on rollers and is easily moved Ibout on its truck. Tower and dome were built after plans used in building the ohnervstory of St. Stephen's college at Annandale-on-Hudson with adopta- tinns Ind important modifimtions by Mr. W. D. Mann, ttrehiteet. Msurice When Elm Place pupils began their observatory visits the celebrated astronomer. Professor Hough, was in charge and he took a friendly interest in these grammar school pupils who decidedly swelled the size of his ludi- ences on the evenings when the ob, servotory was open to the public. Professor Phillip Fox succeeded to the directorship after the death of Professor Rough, remaining in charge until the recent completion of the Adler Planetarium. The special favor he showed Elm Place children during all his years of service has been acknowledged by Miss Guiney and her pupils. Named tor Teacher The observatory is to be dedicated under the name of the Ellen M. Quincy Observatory of Elm Place school, this title. having been proposed by the graduating class of June 1930. This is a flttintt recognition of Miss quiney's long years of service at Elm Place school and in particular of the enthusiasm she has during all these years been able to arouse in her pupils for the study of the stars. in Septem- ber 1905 she took the first group of pupils on an evening trip to Dearborn Observatory of Northwestern univer- sity and these Thursday evening trips have been a feature of the work of upper grade pupilfat Elm Place until the present time. The new instru- ment now at last ready for use makes these trips no longer necessary. It serves the purpose for which they were made as completely as does the large instrument at Evanston. Professor Edwin Frost, the dis. tinguished direetnr..ot Yerkes Obser- vltory of the University of Chicago his promised to come down from Lake Geneva if weather conditions are favorable and waist in the pro- gram. Professor Phillip Fox, director of the Adler Planetarium, has ex- pressed his interest in the occasion and will be present if engagements do nut interfere. western university, will give an il- lustrated address on exploring the sky.

The constant succession of overcast skies during the past few weeks has (keyed the use of the instrument. The pupils in the astronomy classes will naturally occupy most of the ob- servatory time at first but in due time any one interested in using the telescope will be welcome. Students Boise Pundit The funds for purchasing the tele- scope and for housing it were almost entirely raised by the members of ten of the eighth grade classes of the past few years. The Elm Place P. T. A. under the leadership of Mrs. Raymond Herman conducted a "drive" last May which helped materially to complete the campaigns for funds. The instru- ment cost $1.530. The tower and dome about $1.100. The equipment thus at the command of the school is both unique in its nature and in its source. It represents the devoted efforts of about 1600 eighth grade pupils. The classes to which credit for this achievement is due are as tol. lows: Clues President June, 1924 "ere Peter Prato Feb., 1925 1 Robert Blanchard June, 1925 .. _ _ Sam Holmes Feb., 1926 _ _..

Great pains were taken to have the instru- ment set level and properly oriented, this necessitating two special visits trom Professor Lee, whose invaluable help and co-operation is gratefully acknowledged. Tests now show the correctness «of the mounting since it is possible to sight the.irtstrument upon calculations in the nautical al- manac and upon opening the shutter of the dome find the inltrument point- ing directly at the desired object. The first definite test of the instrument was made on a clear evening just be- fore Christmas when Miss Guiney set it the task of reirealing the moon: of Jupiter and defining the nebula in the belt " Orion. All tests indicate that the instrument is excellent in every respect, clear in definition and easy to manipulate. 1927 1929 1930 1930 Thursday, Jan. 15, 1931 President _ ,, Peter Pram _ Robert Blnnchurd _ Stun Holmes _ _..
