Part In Graduation
Exercises Y esterdav
J
The . Nome School auditorium
was filled to capacity last eve
ning by, relatives and friends of
the 42 graduating students from
high. school and grade school.
The valedictory was given by

theme was centered on world
peace and what part the graduate
of today has in attaining this
high aim. It was announced that
Carolyn received a special award
from Washington State College

school expenses at the University
of Alaska. He also received an
award from the University of Al

The address of the evening was
given by Rev. Reeves Havens,
whose unusually fitting address
centered around the “Three Ex
cellencies” of the minor prophet
Mica of the Old Testament. The
three are: Do Justly; Love Mercy,
and Walk Humbly.
The speaker carefully wove in
well known local residents with
out naming them, who live by
these principals and paid them
tribute, showing the graduates
what can be attained by so living.
The trumpeters of the Nome
School Band, Robert Summers,
Fritz Chambers and Ray Arnold,
played special music during the
exercises.
Two numbers, O Lovely Night
and Song of the Night were sung
by the Girl’s Glee Club under the
direction of Mrs. W. Cameron and
accompanied by Helen Glavino
vich.

ficates will be published in Mon
day’s issue of The Nugget.
