8i*ly-Fifih Anniversary Program
March 1 and 2, many people
from Teller, Shishmaref and Tel
ler mission gathered to 'celebrate
the day Teller Mission was started
65 years ago.
Miss Bertha Stedje welcomed
all the people from other villages
and then the program was con
ducted by Jerry Kaloke, President
of the Church Council.
The following people took part
in telling the “progress of Chris
tianity,” and the “development of
the reindeer industry” here at
Teller Mission:
Jerry and Dora Kaoloke, Harry
Olanna, Ida Weyauvanna, Faye
Olanna, Louise Barr, Charlie Wey
auvanna, Elmer Olanna, Ward
Olanna, David Adam, Kenneth
Kakoona, Robert Ottitituk, Helen
Kakoona, Eve Adam, Daisy Rock,
and Rita Seetot.
They told how Rev. Brevig ar
rived in 1894, and brought the
Gospel for the first time to the
Eskimo people at the “Nook,” a
settlement near where Teller is
now located. Also mentioned was
the difficulty Rev. Brevig had in
overcoming the strong hold of
“medicine” men on the people.
In 1890 about 8 or 10 reindeer
were purchased from Siberia. In
1882 over 100 reindeer landed at
the site of Teller Mission.
Rev. Dahle Tells of Orphanage
Rev. and Mrs. Dahle were
brought to the Mission by Rev.
Hegland, who flew them in after
the weather cleared.
Rev. Dahle delivered a fine
talk on the experiences he and
his wife had taking care of the
Teller Mission Orphanage from
1921 through 1924. The Rev. men
tioned their efforts to make all
the orphaned children feel they
had a real home with them. He
told about the rebuilding of the
Mission after the old structure
was destroyed. He recalled the
wreck of a ship in the Port, and
of seeing parts of the old ship
used in houses still standing in
the Village today.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
A procession of fine constella
tions comes marching up the east
ern sky in the evening. Bootes is
in the lead, followed by Corona,
Hercules, Lyra, and Cygnus.
The stars in the constellation
Bootes outline the figure of a
large kite with brilliant Arcturus
at the point where the tail is at
tached. Follow the curve of the
Great Dipper handle around past
its end, and it will direct you to
this star. Arcturus is a zero mag
nitude star of somewhat reddish
hue.
Eastward from the kite of
Bootes there is a semicircle of
stars. This is Corona Borealis, the
Northern Crown. Its brightest
star of the 2nd magnitude, is
Gemma, the “Gem of the Crown.”
Hercules comes next and some
of its brighter stars form a figure
resembling a large butterfly. The
star cluster in Hercules is of great
interest.
WSCS MEETS FRIDAY NIGHT
