A CREDITABLE SCHOOL PAPER
We wish to take this occasion to compliment the Seward
” High school students and faculty, on the type of
paper which they are publishing. The Seward Folly is a
credit to Seward and a worthy addition to the publications
of the Territory.
Many schools, with greater enrollment and more ex
perience in this field, will do well to study the handy work
of our young citizens.
Seward has a right not only to feel proud of the Sew
ard Folly but also of the school that trains the editors
thereof.
A thing which adds interest is the fact that the paper
is published entirely through the efforts of the students;
linotype operating, setting-up, printing ,as well as compo
sition and editing having been done by members of the
High school staff.
The Gateway takes especial pride in the paper, be
cause the boys have learned much of that which makes
possible the manner in which it is produced, in this office.
This being the first issue for the current school year
the boys are sure that they will learn and be able to im
prove and make even better at the task they have set
themselves.
VILMA’S MAGIC VIOLIN
Mere words are feeble to describe the rare and beau
tiful treat the people of Seward were furnished at last
night's concert. To us, who have such rare opportunities
eo enjoy the finer arts, it will be a memorable and long re
membered occasion.
Vilma Bazant is an accomplished violinist, the best
by far that has played before a local audience. She has
endeared herself to all, not only for her music but for her
self, as well, and the best of wishes of the people of Sew
ard will go with her. We need express no prophecy as to
her future as we feel that it is assured.
We are not only proud of the fact that she is an Alas
kan, and a Sewardite, but are very thankful for the honor
bestowed upon us and the enjoyment experienced in lis
tening to her wonderful playing. Such music is not only
heard, but is felt as a message to the soul and the finer
elements of our beings.
To pick out the best numbers on last night's program
would be impossible, for altho different numbers had
varying degrees of appeal to the members of the very at
tentive audience, the rendition and technique was well
nigh perfect and the compositions of the masters beauti
fully interpreted. The wisdom shown in the type and
placing of the selections, so as to set each class of music
off to the best advantage, was just the right length of
each to hold the interest of the audience throughout the
concert.
Seward will be watching and listening for word of
Vilma Bazant in the Outside world.
Latin is a dead language, and school kids wish it were
buried.
The Railway and Marine News of Seattle is giving
figures of the tonnage of the Port of Seattle for August
included the fact that the Alaskan trade totaled 56,299
import tonnage into Seattle and exports of 20,938 tons.
