Original caption: “Los Lobos de Loyola” by C. Francisco Cardenas Martinez of Mexico; installed March 2012 on Wolf and Kettle Day. This sculpture pays homage to St. Ignatius of Loyola and celebrates generosity, a value central to the University’s mission. Legend has it that the Loyola family was so generous that after feeding family and soldiers, they had enough food left to feed the animals. This act of giving is represented by the two wolves and kettle, which are depicted on Loyola’s shield and in this 8-foot-tall sculpture outside the Norville Athletic Center.

In 1948, the Loyola News held a competition to name members of the Lake Shore Kampus Kitten Klub, three kittens (two males and one female) born several months earlier to a cat named Baby on the Lake Shore Campus. Students let their creative juices flow and the kittens were thoughtfully named Eva (“judged to be the most expressive of the actions of the kitty”), Lulu (thought to be the most “school-spirited” of the entries with the repetition of Loyola’s initials), and Lambert (whose timid actions suited his name). Each winning contestant received a packet of Chesterfields.

This article details the tragic fate of a snail and her young. The snails had been part of a biology class. A first-year student, “[m]otivated by an uncontrollable desire to know more of the baby snails and their family life in the aquarium”, opened the drain. Before the class had ended, the snails were found “writhing and tossing on the dry floor of their home” and were ultimately “rudely snatched from this realm”, leaving students devastated and pleading for more snails.

This article asks for Mundelein students to keep an eye out for “scorpions, starfishes, eels, sea shells, or anything in the form of specimens” if they chanced upon any in their “vacation wanderings” or “monotonous walks” along the lake shore. These were needed for the museum in the biology department.

This article details the kinds of wildlife spotted by Mundelein students and staff around campus. These ranged from a possum, two "outstanding squirrels", various birds, rabbits, and fish inhabiting the lake close to the beach. Some Mundelein students were also "treed" the previous year by enthusiastic Notre Dame students looking for a raccoon, which was never caught.
The article also features a comic. At the top, two individuals wearing headscarves and holding what appear to be stacks of paper look down at a rabbit with a carrot at its feet. The smiling face of a moon is visible at the top right corner, a reference to a mention in the article to editors and rabbits being the only presences on campus at a certain time of night. Below, a squirrel wearing a hat and coat with its paw on its chest is depicted standing on a platform with the word "soap" on it, presumably a shortened form of "soapbox". This is likely a reference to Napoleon, a squirrel mentioned in the article, which would deliver a "violent chattering address". The words "a thinking man's squirrel" appears above this image.

This article details the race results of the 1951 Turtle Derby, which was promoted by the Wasmann Biological Society. The derby, 2143.8 mm in length, was held in the athletic stadium with students representing student organisations. Joanne, Wasmann's candidate, won by two feet. The second-place and third-place winners were Mercedes (the sodality's candidate) and Rodney (a Sigma Pi Alpha candidate) respectively. The other candidates were "disdainfully asleep." Wasmann commemorated their candidate's victory with a mixer in the Rambler room.
