Beverly Gray, 15, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Gray of 306 Maple Ridge St., made this replica of an Upper Peninsula copper mine from a picture post card. She saw the real mine, however, when she lived with her grandmother at Calumet for a time. The buildings are made of painted cardboard, with plastic windows. The big smoke stack is a curtain roller on a flowerpot base. Smaller smokestacks are sucker candy sticks. The model has a dyed sawdust lawn and drives are paved with coffee grounds. Her brother contributed scale model ore cars and tracks. Beverly will be in the tenth grade at Ann Arbor High School this fall.

MEET BENNY THE BOA: Beverly Sue Gray, 10, fifth-grade pupil at Mack School and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Gray, 306 Maple Ridge Ave., displays Benny (the benevolent) Boa Constrictor. Benny, a highly sophisticated snake who spurns such reptilian delicacies as live mice and guinea pigs and demands a diet of hamburger, belongs to Beverly Sue's 19-year-old brother, Charles B., a GI student at Ann Arbor High School and an amateur herpetologist.
