POLET’S STORE I
Parents and numerous friends
of the Senior Class of the Nome
High School witnessed the Com
mencement exercises in the
school gymnasium last Friday
night. Present on the stage be
sides the graduating class were:
A. A. Ryan superintendent. Rev.
Wood, Father McElmeel and Mrs. j
Marie Drake, Assistant Commis-!
sioner of Education who came'
from Juneau especially for the
occasion.
Four of the class delivered
short, well-prepared talks on
special subjects. Mrs. Marie
Drake gave the Commencement
address. Mrs. Drake spoke of the
adaption of education to daily1
life, the lessons to be learned,
that it is impossible for the school
and its teachers to do all the ad
justing but that it is necessary1
for each young person to make1
the application to his own life.:
The public of Nome, as well as
the young people of the public
school appreciate very much the
benefit and honor of Mrs. Drake’s'
favor in coming to Nome.
The award for citizenship \
among the seniors of the high j
school was won by Frederik,
Bockman and his name will be
engraved upon the plaque which
was presented to the public
school by A. Polet a few years
ago.
Professor Ryan made an an
nouncement that a cup has been
won by the Nome High School
in a contest sponsored by the
University of Alaska for the best
school mimeograph paper. This
cup is to be kept on display at
Nome for one year; after that
time it is to be re-awarded in a
similar contest. We congratulate
the young people who did the
fine work which won this import
ant prize.
The graduating class of 1940 is
j the largest on record in Nome.
We, the public of Nome, feel con
i vinced that all these young grad
: uates will be ready to fill substan
tial and possibly some very im
' portant position among the citi
I zenry of the Territory of Alaska.
