THE 1939-1940
SCHOOL YEAR
The 1939-40 school year for the
Nome Public School ends tonight
with the Commencement Pro
gram.
The different rooms planned a
picnic yesterday but due to the
weather the programs were con
fined to the school with the ex
ception of the high school’s trip
to Dexter.
The reports from the tuber
culin testing program were given
to the students along with their
report cards. We were very pleas
ed with the results as no active
case was found. Where this pro
gram is not carried on yearly, it
is often impossible to detect tu
berculosis until too late to cure
the patient as well as stopping
infection of others.
The flute band has developed
great interest in band work. We
expect to have many new instru
ments this fall through the suc
sess of our roller skating pro
gram.
The PAA Pilgrim arrived at
Nome from Fairbanks at about
three p.m. A 40-pound sack of
mail was carried. Passengers ar
riving were Mr. and Mrs. E M
Stewart and Mr Engstrom. The
plane returned as far as Ruby
tonight.
Mr. E. M. Stewart Chief En
gineering aid of the Alaska Road
Commission was an arrival in
Nome via PAA plane today. Mr.
Stewart will be located here per
manently.
