TREASURERS TO MEET

   Treasurers of all student organizations are to meet with Mrs. Allen in Room 4 during the Activity Period on Wednesday, September 25.

   Mrs. Allen, the school treasurer, will give a brief lecture on how to set up and maintain financial books.

   Not many people can tell a true coral snake from a false coral snake. This is important because the true coral is one of the most deadly snakes in the world.

   Its venom is neurotoxic, which is the same type of venom produced by the Cobra. The venom works directly on the nervous system in about 45 minutes, unless you know the Spryser treatment.

   The spryser treatment includes applying a tourniquet between the bite and the heart; then the making of two cuts 1/4 inch deep and 1/4 inch long over the wound. Then the wounds must be sucked until the blood flows freely. In the meantime, Ross Allen at Silver Springs should have been contacted, as he is the only one in the country who might have an antitoxin for coral snake bites.

   The true coral snake has brilliant red, yellow and black rings around his body, and the tip of his head is black.

   This area of Florida is the natural habitat for coral snakes. They are fond of sand and weeds for cover. As our campus is still largely made of this type of cover, you'd better keep a sharp eye out the next time you start your push-ups and spread eagles.
