THIRD GRADE
In the third grade we have 39
children—19 girls and 20 boys.
We have our class in the middle
room of the annex. Mrs. Tripp is
our teacher.
This year we have a new sub
ject: social studies. We are study
ing about people who do not have
machinery. We have drawn pic
tures of some of their houses and
their tools.
In arithmetic we are learning
about fractions. In reading we
have been reviewing our second
gfade work and have just started
our third grade readers.
FOURTH GRADE
(Perkins)
Another large fourth grade
group has been enrolled. In com
parison to last year, the number
of pupils is almost the same. There
are two good-sized classes with
25 in each room.
Possibly, some of you parents
and guardians are not aware of
the added responsibilities a pupil
must face when entering the in
termediate grades as each fourth
grader has just done. He is faced
by more and newer subjects than
in any previous year.
In addition to the basic subjects
—reading, arithmetic, spelling,
language, and penmanship — the
child is now introduced to civics,
American history, and world geo
graphy. They face newer aspects
in science and language.
Each member of the class will
be a capable letter writer before
the year has ended, learning and
using correct punctuation, how to
make introductions to people, and
the proper usage of capital letters.
The pupils enrolled in this class
are Harrison Ahmasuk, Esther
Alexine, Steven Attatayuk, Jo
Ann Aukon, James Bell, Jerry
Billiken, Carol Carlson, Gerry
Cavota, Alice Cutford, Douglas
Davis, Roy Dimmick, Pearl John

Ludwigsen Tells How
He’ll Spend His Share
Of Search Reward Money
KETCHIKAN, W»—An expected
baby in the Herman Ludwigsen
family will share in his split-up
of the $30,000 reward for finding
the wreck of a wealthy New Mex
ico oilman’s plane.
The southeastern Alaska bush
pilot, who located the wreckage
of the lost Ellis Hall plane and its
five occupants two weeks ago',
disclosed his plans Saturday.
He mentioned pilots associated
with him in the search whom he
will cut in on the reward; worthy
charities; new furniture for his
apartment and a new engine and
propellor for his small plane, and
then added:
“I’ll leave part of it in the bank,
too. We expect our first child
next month.”

Alaska. All but six have had one
or more trips in an airplane.

interesting.

HIGH SCHOOL
(Geraldine Fagerstrom)
The party last Friday night
was a success. It started at seven,
when the Freshmen were put thru
different stunts and tricks by the
Juniors. By 8:30 the Juniors were
exhausted and made the Fresh
men clean up.
By nine we were dancing and
begging for the “eats,” which the
Sophomores and Freshmen sup
plied. Ai'.er we had eaten we dia
the Virginia Reel.
After that . most of us calmed
down and just danced, until 11:30
when we broke up the party and
went home. We all had a very
enjoyable evening, — even the
Freshmen!
The typing II class has been
busy helping Mrs. Cameron cata
log the library.
The assembly has new black
window shades which will be a
great convenience when movies
are shown.
There are about 100,000 ama
teur radio stations in the U.S.
Beta Sigma Phi
By CAROLINE READER
The sisters of Beta Sigma Phi
sorority met at Ruth McLean’s
home Thursday evening with Bet
ty Alexander, our president, who
has just come down from the
Kougarok conducting the meeting.
We were pleased to have “Cor
ky” Woodward as a guest for the
evening and we will be enjoying
more guests at future meetings.
Beverly Morgan presented the
social calendar for the year with
each girl in charge of a different
affair. Shirley Goedde, who is the
October social chairman, filled
our ears with exciting ideas for
a box social, and square dance
coming soon. The girls will ar
range to practice the dances ahead
of time so that cm the big night
we’ll know just what we’re doing.
“Corky” knows someone who will
make an excelent “caller” so we
expect the affair to be a rip
snortin’ success.
Soon we’ll be losing two mem
bers—Carol Jones, who- has been
with us for a year and Ruth Mc
Lean, who was an original mem
ber of the charter chapter which
formed three years ago. Ruth
made a great sacrifice Thursday
night when she presented the sor
ority with her own personal scrap
book which she has kept during
her three years in this chapter. It
is very complete and so interest
ing to new members and to old
member who want to reminisce.
We thank you, Ruth, for being so
conscientous in keeping a scrap
book and then for giving it to us
to treasure during the years ahead.
We were glad to have Louise
Bockman with us again. We are
looking forward to having Rita
Harper return and also new mem
bers we hope to pledge into our
sorority.
I he cultural portion of the
meeting was just fun. With Omie
McCarthy in charge of the pro
gram last night we really had to
know our lessons. Being an ex
schoolteacher, she could tell if we
had studied or not and if we
didn’t we wished we had. Terry
and Maybelle showed how to be
happy through relaxation. Harriet
and Shirley showed the effect of
a happy person on a gloomy per
son. Caroline presented examples
of the value and worth of friend
ships and companions as a source
of happiness. Vivian told how
morals and the ability to live by
them are necessary to happiness.
All members participated in dis
cussion questions and also per
sonal definitions of happiness.
While enjoying cookies made by
Ruth and Ellen and coffee, we
viewed some slides belonging to
Betty Colby that were just beau
tiful, showing the girls in formals
at past affairs.
