The thawing weather in the last two days prompted numerous youngsters - and oldsters, too - to build snowmen in Ann Arbor. Above is shown a "wolf at the door" of the home of Prof. Avard Fairbanks, sculptor, which he made to entertain his children. Standing beside the snow wolf are two of the children of Prof. and Mrs. Fairbanks, Grant (left), who is two years old, and David (right), who is three. Prof. Fairbanks received some help in making the wolf from his children.

Heading the squad of educated pooches brought to Angell School Thursday by their youthful masters in celebration of National Dog Week was Navy, pure-bred spaniel belonging to the Krag brothers, Michael, 6, a first-grader, and William, 10, who is in the fourth grade. Besides the traditional canine tricks of rolling over, playing dead, and retrieving objects thrown either on land or in the water, Navy knows the rudiments of military training and will execute a snappy salute on orders by her young masters. The Krag brothers are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. W. Brace Krag of 2120 Devonshire Rd.

CAT RETRIEVER: This peculiar-looking apparatus is a unique piece of equipment variously called a cat rescue pole, or "cat retriever." A stray or marooned cat lodged in some tree needs only to cling to the sheepskin loop at the end of the pole to effect a safe rescue from the upper regions. Students at Angell School are actively participating in the Ann Arbor Humane Society's current drive to raise funds for equipment, such as the cat pole, to outfit the proposed new animal shelter. Students shown (left to right) are Gale L. Slater, 9, of 1232 Washtenaw Ave., Phillis A. Austin, 8, of 1317 Geddes Ave., Rollie Leeds, 6, of 1438 Washington Hgts., and Randy White, 6, of 2409 Vinewood Blvd.
