Bixby Tells P-TA
Of Music Festival
A large crowd was in attendance
at the P-TA meeting last night,
and enjoyed several selections
played by the 30-piece Nome
School Band.
William Bixby, bandleader,
gave a short talk on how well the
band is progressing, and that it
compares favorably with other
bands in the territory. He ex
plained about the Northern Alas
ka High Schol Music Festival,
which is held annually with most
other schools in the area partici
pating, but not Nome. He empha
sized the importance of this Fes
tival to the music students, and
the many ways in which they
benefit, and expressed the hope
that Nome students might have
the opportunity to participate. He
told the members of the P-TA that
part of the proceeds of the Festi
val would revert to the participat
ing schools for expenses of stu
dents attending the Festival. The
balance .would have to be furn
ished by the community.
Mrs. Langhus, teacher of the
2nd grade, was awarded $20 by
the P-TA for having the most par
ents present for three meetings.
The room taught by Carl Liebig
