Music Underway
Delayed until this week by the
lack of a music instructor, the
high school band and newly added
chorus program will get under
way Monday morning under the
direction of our new music teach
er, Mr. Lenard/ R. Barber of St. i
Louis, Mo. Mr. Barber is a grad- :
•uate of Lincolri University, Jef-!
ferson City, Mo., and is fully [
qualified to give individual in
struction in all instruments, or
chestra, chorus and band. His
specialty is band.
No Vacancy
No vacancies exist at the pres
ent time. Mr. Barber’s arrival
filled the music position, and we
decided that it would be better to
absorb the second grade children
who have not had a regular teach
er, rather than continue with
substitutes.
Enrollment
Our enrollment as of last Fri
day was 547 in the grades- and 118
in the High fjchool, for a total of
665.
New Faces
If you have never met, I am
sure you have seen, two welcome
additions to the school staff this
year—Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Beau
champ (Beechum*. Mr. hails from
Cromwell, Okla., and Mrs. from
Okemah.
Mrs... Beauchamp holds a Bach
elors degree in home economics
from the State University of Ok
lahoma at Stillwater, and Mr. j
Beauchamp has his Masters De- j
gree in Science from East Central
State College at Ada, Okla.
We are excited about the new
Vocational Home Economics pro
gram under Mrs. Beauchamp’s
direction and we know it will be
one of the highlights of the high
school program.
Mr. Beauchamp has his work
cut out for him with a large class
of eighth graders. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Beauchamp are active out
door people and avid fisherman.
National Publicity ,
Boys and girls across the nation
will be enjoying a little bit of our
Nome School this fall when they |
read excerpts of an article writ
ten by Mrs. Pauline Witner, one
of our seventh grade teachers.
Several pictures, which accom
panied the article, were also pub-1
lished. TAB News, a national
publication of the Teen-Age Book
Club, carried the story which will
•be enjoyed by thousands of chil
dren across the land.
Education U.S.A.
The New Look In Learning:
Here are two illustrations, one of
a large system, the other of a
small one, of this fall's height
ened interest in curriculum. In
Oklahoma City, eight elementary
schools join in ungraded teaching
in primary grades. Science in
struction by TV — and languages,
as far down as the third grade,
have been introduced to elemen
tary classes.
In Gorman, Maine, 380 high
school students at a 1 brand new
school will put in a day 92 min
utes longer than normal, with a
goal of meeting the needs of all
enrollees. A newly designed cur
riculum offers two college prep
programs, liberal arts and science
and a vocational program in five
different fields. Courses never
offered there before include earth
science, world geography, and
business economics.
Uniform Hours
For Sale of Liquor
Ordered By ABC I
JUNEAU ,(#> — New uniform I
hours for the sale of liquor in |
Alaska were ordered Wednesday. J
' The new regulations, adopted
unanimously by the Alcoholic!
Beverage Control Board, becomes I
effective 30 days after filing with 1
’ the Secretary of State.
The regulations provide that all
bars, clubs, taverns and package
stores must close at least by 3
a.m. on weekdays, and 4 a.m. on
Sundays and holidays.
Licensed establishments through
the state will not be permitted to
open for busines before 8 a.m. on
j weekdays and holidays, and 2
* p.m. on Sundays.
The new closing hours, among
; 12 regulations approved by the
ABC, provide longer operating
hours for licensed establishments
; now doing business in Alaska’s
cities.
The new regulations probably
will become effective about Octo
ber 31 or November 1, depending
upon when the filing is made with
! the Secretary of State under the
j Alaska administrative procedures j
j law.
i Under provisions of the contro
versial closing hour regulation,
municipalities will be able by or
dinance to reduce the operating
hours of licensed establishments
within the city.
However, the regulations forbid
city councils to permit opening
hours to extend beyond the 3 a.m.
weekday or 4 a.m. Sunday hours,
or to allow opening hours before
those set out in the regulations.
In Fairbanks, Warren Taylor,!
Speaker of the House in the last ■
session of the Legislature, said he
would seek a court order to pre- J
vent the new liquor closing hour
law from going into effect. He ]
said the control board itself j
doesn’t have the authority to im- 1
pose this regulation.
