Nome School May
Qualify To Receive
Federal Funds
Mr. Wm. Angell, superintend
ent of the Nome School, who has
been away for a few days in Ju
neau and Mt. McKinley, reports
that at the Western Alaska High
School Activities Ccmference, it
was decided that basketball teams
can no longer shift Ifrom A to B
groups at will, but will be classi
fied according to the size of the
school. Nome will remain in the
B conference until the enrollment
in the Nome High School reaches
100, then it automatically will be
transferred to the A conference.
Reporting on the Juneau con
ference, Mr. Angell said that a
report will be made after a con
densation of the various commit
tee reports are received from the
Commission of Education’s office.
While in Juneau Mr. Angell
studied two bills which allow fed
eral funds for reimbursing
schools and found that Nome
would not qualify under Bill 815
(although Palmer is getting a
half-million-dollar school without
putting up any portion of the
funds) but possibly would under
Bill 874. The latter is a federal
construction bill whereby commu
nities can be reimbursed for chil
dren who live in tax exempt quar
ters or whose parents are working
for government agencies. He sta
ted he would study the bill more
thoroughly to see whether Nome
could qualify.
