way through school; Myrtle Cham

ovioh, Diane Lee and Sheila Den
ney, typical co-eds; Dean Alex
ander as matron, Whitney West as

Statewide Attention
Pioneer Roof Garden which is
scheduled lo lake place December
13, 1958, is attracting unusual at
tention this year on its 50th anni
versary.
Chas. Jones, genial secretary of

being conducted, advises that he
is kept 'busy answering inquiries
from various sections of Alaska,
and in fact, some from the Stales,
relative lo transportation, hous
ing, etc., from those contemplat
ing lo attend.
Statehood has, of course, given
impetus to the desire of Alaskans
this year lo attend the Pioneer
Roof Garden, because it was at
Nome more than half a century'
ago that statehood for the then
District of Alaska was first advo
cated, when the Pioneers of Alas
ka was organized at Nome in 1907.
Igloo No. 1 of Nome holds the
honor and distinction of being the
proud possessor of the records
which attest to this fact.
Axel Edman, President of Igloo
No. 1 has instructed the various
committees he has appointed to
conduct this celebration, lo spare
no effort or expense to make Ibis
golden anniversary one lo be re
membered -and in keeping with
the best iradiiions of ihe organi
zation.

play is going to be the main fea
ture of the evening entertain
ment. This will be followed by
dancing, diversified games remi
niscent of early day life of Alas
ka for which valuable prizes will
be awarded, not the least of which
will be a huge, rare gold nugget
which appears lo outclass and out
match any previous exhibit of
the precious, and almost priceless
metal. Other valuable prizes, too
numerous to mention will be
awarded during the evening|
