Class of Nine Graduates From Nome
High School; Three Plan College
A._ ^
A class of nine were graduated
from Nome High School last eve
ning and a class of 36 graduated
from grade school into Nome High
School.
A congratulatory message was
read from Ralph Lomen, who
graduated from Nome High 50
years ago. He expressed his regret
at not being able to attend the
ceremony.
' The graduation address was
given by James Walsh, a graduate
of 1935. He reminded the class
that they had come to a crossroad
in life and that from now on they
would have to carry their share of
community responsibility in both
civic and political life.
Walsh advised them not to be
afraid of voicing their opinions
and taking a definite stand for
their ideals. He said “Education
must never stop; success is at
tained by .trial and error.”
Music for the occasion was fur
nished by the 50-piece Nome
School Band in full uniform under
the direction of Robert Heath,
who leaves tomorrow.
me valedictory was given oy
Helen Marie Glavinovich and the
salutatory by Sigrid L. Olsen.
The Galvin Scholarship was
presented to Ronald Engstrom,
who will be attending the Univer
sity of Alaska next fall. Last
year’s winner, Robert Summers,
had first refusal on the scholar
ship, which can go either to a
graduate or be carried over to
one who has already been award
ed it in a previous year.
Summers chose to decline the
scholarship as he thought it was
more important that another be
given the opportunity to get a
start in college.
Other graduates planning to at
tend college are Lucie Ann Fager
strom and Robert Dunbar, who
are scheduled to enroll at the

Boy with Chemicals In His
i Pocket Literally Explodes
In Southern Cal Heat
LONG BEACH, Calif., Ufi — Hot
' weather, perspiration and a hip
pocket loaded with chemicals
combined painfully for 14-year
old Richard F. Mehl.
The youth had been to the stock
room preparatory to conducting
an experiment Wednesday, the
hottest day of the year, in his
chemistry class at Hamilton Jun
ior High School. He had just
seated himself when “he suddenly
exploded,’’ his teacher reported.
Classmates stripped off his
burning clothing and he was
treated at a hospital for burns
on the hands, forearms, hip and
leg.
Authorities said the boy was
carrying sodium peroxide crys
tals loose in his pocket and it
exploded on contact with perspir
ation streaming from his body in
the 99-degree heat.
Many a little white lie leaves a
black mark behind it.
