SCHOOL NEWS
By OLAF HALVERSON
School bells were ringing in
Nome Tuesday morning and .
bright, smiling faces of boys and
girls were eager to greet their
teachers. Nome is noted for its
friendly people and so it is re
flected by these boys and girls.
They came from all the points of
the compass so that the school <
was filled beyond the usual cap
acity.
What a glorious day it was.
when the boys and girls of Nome
were a portion of the millions and
millions of children in the United
States who were returning to
school. At three a. m. Tuesday
morning when the Nome children i
wefe sound asleep, the boys and
girls in New York and along the
Atlantic coast heard the school
bells. At four o’clock central state
cities responded to the roll calls.
The school bells at Denver and
the Rocky Mountain cities rang at
five o’clock. Children in Seattle
and along the Pacific Coast heard ►*
the school bells at six o’clock. At
seven o’clock, Nome time, the
children at Juneau and southeast
ern Alaska responded to roll
calls. The children of Anchorage
and central Alaska heard the
school bells at eight o’clock. Fin
ally at nine o’clock, Nome chil
dren heard the last school bells.
Like a vast relay race across
the North American continent,
the Nome children were in the
final race of the torch of knowl
edge to the International Date ’
Line. Nome High School has a dis
tinctive geographical location in
that it is the most northwesterly
high school in North America.

reveal the beauty of the celestial
sphere. Astronomy is the science
pertaining to all the bodies of the
heavens. Parent of the sciences, it
is the most perfect and beautiful
of all.
The constellation called the
“Square of Pegasus” holds the
predominating position in the sky.
Jupiter, our largest planet, is the
brilliant celestial object in the v
northeastern sky.
