SCHOOL NEWS
SEVENTH GRADE
All seventh graders are back in
school again after many absences
during the flu epidemic.
Jeannie Mogg is the only stu
dent fortunate enough to main
tain her perfect attendance record
for the year.
Suzanne Fagerstrom, Charlene
Hudgins and Ruth Glavinovich
had perfect attendance for the
first semester, but illness during
the past six weeks ruined their
fine records.
We have completed the study
of South America (except for some
map work) and are now working
on Central America; then on to
Mexico, the West Indies and the
United States.
The weekly school paper
Current Events is finally arriving,
so we are keeping up with world
happenings in history class. The
organization of the new govern
ment following the Revolutionary
War is also being studied.
Decimals are in order in arith
metic class. Those decimal points
are causing trouble, too.
Seventh grade girls are taking
turns helping in the lunchroom
during the noon hour.
Everyone enjoyed the Valentine
■box on February 13.
EIGHTH GRADE
There have been seven students
who have had perfect attendance
during the past six weeks. They
are Paul Glavinovich, Patty Her
man, Arlene Muller, Lawrence
Oscarson, Helen Sahlin, Willy
Willoya and Stan Senungetuk.
Rivalry has been pretty keen
between the boys in the room
representing the Kangaroos and
the Whizkids. The Whizkids have
won four straight games over
their rivals and will be gunning
for the fifth game to end the
series tonight in the preliminary
game.
Oral book reports have been
part of the afternoon work and
the, students are finding them very
entertaining. At first they were
afraid to get up in front of the
class and talk; now you have to
cut them short in order to keep
them from dragging the report
out.
As the six-week period draws
to a close, the class has just fin
ished taking a number of lengthy
tests and, along with the teacher,
has found it a very trying week.
HIGH SCHOOL'
We are all proud of our high
school basketball boys for bring
ing home the Class B Champion
ship Trophy.
Mr. Angell has ordered an extra
plaque on which the names of the
boys will be engraved.
This week we are studying for
the six weeks exams.
Yesterday the Boys’ Glee Club
were guests at the Rotary lunch
eon, where they sang a number of
songs. They were accompanied by
Mrs. Kearns, our music teacher.
In typing class, if we make
more than five errors we get zero.
All the students are practicing for
speed in one- and ten-minute tests.
We are entering an all-Alaska
contest in April.
Two of our freshman girls who
have been ill since January have
returned. They are Arlene Hawk
and Helen Glavinovich. We are
very glad tc have them back.

have derived from that fact.
Education Board
Asks 50% Increase
In School Budget
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, (/P) — The Territorial
Board of Education presented the
Senate Finance Committee Wed
nesday a revised budget calling
for a 50 percent increase over the
present biennium in appropria
tions for support of schools.
The budget totals $11,858,194,
compared with $7,892,592 for the
1951-1953 biennium. Money for
new buildings, which are financed
separately out of a special tobacco
tax fund, is not included in the
budget.
The nearly $12 million figure is
two-thirds of the territorial gen
eral appropriations bill total of
the last session.
Some key legislators have indi
cated they don’t expect to be able
to squeeze any great amount from
the school budget. That would
mean a general appropriations bill
certain to run far above $20 mil
lion compared with slightly under
$18 million last session.
The school budget has risen
over $2,750,000 since the original
budget was drawn for the Board
of Budget late in the fall, mainly
on the basis of increased enroll
ment in cities.
The increase also includes $750,
000 recommended for teachers on
the basis of the board’s formula
of $300 yearly across-the-board
pay bo'ost and $50 extra for each
year of teaching in Alaska. Legis
lators, however, are being flooded
with wires and letters from school
groups and individuals demand
ing a flat $800 raise.
The budget item for support of
city schools is up about 40 per
cent from the present biennium,
while schools outside of incorpora
ted cities is up about five percent.
AFL MACHINISTS ANSWER
WAGE - SLASH REQUEST
WITH PAY INCREASE DEMAND
SEATTLE, UP>—American Fed
eration of Labor machinists from
Bellingham and Seattle, voted at
a meeting here Thursday to an
swer Alaska salmon packers’
wage-slash request with a de
mand for raises of $210 a season.
I. A. Sandvigen, union business
agent, said his group will also
seek an improved welfare plan,
higher overtime rates and other
benefits for the 1,000 men who
work in Alaska salmon canneries.

had earlier asked the machinists
to accept the 1951 pay scales to
help packers weather a slumping
market.
