Bear Mistaken For Sentry
In Ft. Lewis War Games
FT. LEWIS, Wash., MV-It was
dark, awful dark, as three sol
diers crept up on what they
thought was a lone sentry guard
ing “enemy” anti-aircraft instal
lations deep in the forest of this
military reservation during mock
combat exercises Wednesday
night.
The trio surrounded the sentry
post and on signal dropped fire
crackers — used to imitate rifle
fire—into the sentry’s hideout.
What popped out was no' sentry.
It was a big, black bear.
Bruin and the soldiers both
beat a retreat—in opposite direc
tions.

WARNING—Unless facilities are provided
for a more complete high school curriculum,
Nome High School could lose its rating
as an accredited school!
This would further handicap the students
' seeking to obtain a college education.
Only by building the school addition can we
assure our young people of the high school
background that will prepare them to enter
colleges and universities. These schools are
overcrowded, too, and want only the cream
of the high school graduates.
