Joan Longley Wins
Opportunity To Study
Nursing In Tacoma
In the spring of 1953, Joan
Longley completed high school at
Nome and last September she en
rolled at Mt. Edgecumbe for prac
tical nurses training. Since then
she has enjoyed her training im
mensely.
Joan has been trying very hard
to be one of the six highest in
her class. She accomplished that
and her reward, with five other
girls, was the opportunity to go
to Tacoma General Hospital in
Tacoma for further training. This
will be a wonderful experience for
Joan, for it will be her first trip
outside of Alaska.
She will study in Tacoma until
May when she will return to Mt.
Edgecumbe and graduate next
September.

New Comic Strip, “Patsy”
Starts Today In Nugget
A new comic, PATSY, appears
today on Page 4.
You’re in on the start of a new
story, too, with Patsy and her
manager-companion, Miss Primm.
They’ve recently made two new
friends in ex-heavyweight champ
Buzzsaw Bailey and in the beauti
ful ballerina, Madamoiselle Tina.
Both of these people have had
a stroke of bad luck in their car
eers when they meet our litfle
heroine. In her inimitable way,
Patsy strikes up a bargain with
the handsome heavyweight fight
er. They will stage a comeback
try with Miss Primm as his man
ager.
At the same time, Patsy man
ages to have the beautiful baller
ina and her young troupe success
fully auditioned at her television
studio.
Miss Primm gets into the act by
insisting that Buzzsaw train for
his comeback by learning ballet
steps with Miss Tina.
Although Buzzsaw likes the idea
of being near the pretty ballerina
those toe dances are too much for
an ex-heavyweight champ to
swallow!
