GOOD GRIEF... We often fail to show the , people we love just how much we care. How easy it is to go a little out of our way to express our love for our mtothers and friends.

' How cfculd Mr. Krusehev even try to conquer a world of love. - - Som Thames Dick Langford, our bearded English instructor with a penchant for the sea, has returned to Stetson from what might be, and has been called, a harrowing experience. One of the 13 survivors of the "Albatross", the floating school which went down in the Gulf last April 2, Dick recounting his experience on his arrival here, telling of sudden sinking of the 92 foot brigan- tine, the deperate efforts of those below decks to escape, the heroism, the fright, and the trying period of 24 hours during which they were at sea in long boats. Langford spoke quietly of the ordeal, explained the way which Captain Sheldon and he decided to try to sail north rather than toward Cuba; the makeshift rudder, he -busy work with which ho Kej i liU 1) .1 s on upie.'; I'c shark who followed them for a distance; the feeling of inrpotence when the first Tanker passed them by without any sign of recognition; his anger at being helpless against the sea; the moods of those who had lost their best friends, and that of the Captain who had lost his wife. It was pure luck that they were rescued. This was the first time that the freighter, "The Grand Rio", had sailed that route in a long time. Dr. Doyle Arthers of Almond Beach spotted them, but the captain didn't want t!o pick them up. Finally the captain was convinced that they were suvivors of a sunken ship, and from that point on I they were treated royally. Asked if he would do it again, Langford said, "Sure.. . A fine trip..'. It was a shame it had to end thi- '\a\." Coldiron Is Presented In Recital ■ Jack H.
