SCHOOL NEWS
THIRD GRADE
Our grade has been enlarged
again by the addition of three
new pupils. They are Diane Wilke,
Bertha Herman and Gabriel. We
are very happy to have them with
us.
There have been many absences
due to measles and colds during
the past weeks.
We are getting ready for
Thanksgiving. In our language
class we have been talking about
Thanksgiving and are planning to
learn a Thanksgiving poem. We
have had Thanksgiving stories
read to us. Our art work will
carry out the Thanksgiving
theme.
FOURTH GRADE
The recent epidemic of measles
and chicken pox has affected the
attendance in our class, but the
following 12 pupils have not been
absent during this six weeks term:
Esther Alexin^, Jo Ann Aukon,
Jerry Billiken, Carol Carlson,
Gerry Cavota, Pearl Johnson,
Mary Jean Longley, Alfred Moses
Jr., Teddy Pullock, Gabe Wilkal
kia, Donny Rockne, Dick Arnolld.
Two pupils had operations for
appendicitis within one week:
Ricky Norbert returned quickly,
but Lorena Seetomona also had
a severe case of measles and was
quite ill.
We have recently studied the
seasons in North America and
those of tropical countries in
South America. It was a suprise
to read that trees grow to a great
height in just a few years and that
fruit trees bear fruit all year
’round. Also an interesting item
was that of the seasons in the
region of the Amazon, the people
have no winter and grow vege
tables continually.
All pupils are taking advantage
of our small library within the
room. Everyone has given a book
report or has told a story about
some exciting experience. Many
interesting stories of seal, moose,
and bear hunts have been given.
Several members of the class
are new to Nome. The villages of
Deering, King Island, Koyuk,
Shishmaref, Solomon, ^Teller,
Wales and White Mountain are
represented, also the state of
Oregon.
