SCHOOL NOTES
(SEWARD’S POLLY)
EDITORIAL
In the recent short visit of Dr. Bolton, it was found
that Seward High lacks little to become a full-fledged
member of the Northwest Association.
The benefits accruing from this affiliation cannot be
over-estimated. It means that graduates of the high
school will have access to universities and colleges in 26
different states.
There are certain things which must be accomplish
ed, however, before Seward High will become a member
of the organization: Chief among these is reconstruc
tion of the school library. Consistent effort will bring suc
cess. By cooperation Seward^ High will be able to have *
this honor. With this in view nothing should prevent af
filiation with the Northwest Association.
School Official
Viscid Briefly at
the Seward'High
A. E. Karnes, Territorial Com
missioner of Education, was a re
cent visitor in Seward, arriving on
the train from an extensive tour in
the Interior. Mr. Karnes traveled
for over a month and a half, vis
iting many schools in innumerable
towns mid villages.
In a short but interesting ad-|
dress delivered before the assem-i
bly, Mr. Karnes mentioned the!
Chicago Fair,* Washington, D. C.,
and many other interesting sights
he had the pleasure of witnessing
while on a business trip Outside
earlier in the year.
The Seward High School students
had the pleasure of Commissioner
Karnes’ attendance at the Fresh
men initiation. He remarked that
this was his first opportunity to
witness an initiation in an Alaskan
high school.
The Commissioner boarded the
SS Alaska for Juneau, thus con
cluding a long and exhaustive re
search into Alaska’s school system.

Interesting Lecture
Given At School
Harold Bennett was an interest
ing visitor in the high school last
Monday. He arrived from the In
terior, where he has been carrying
on extensive governmental research
work at the magnetic observatory.
Mr. Bennett delivered an illus
trated lecture in student assembly
at 3:15. He dealt entertainingly
with the various departments of
the Washington Bureau of Stan
dards demonstrating with slides
the many functions of the impor
tant governmental body.
Mr. Behnett left Seward on the
SS Northwestern. He is on his way
to Tucson, Arizona, where he plans
to take up further governmental
work. Q.Z.X.

- English, Latin, algebra one,
Home economics, ahd the day is
done,
Say your prayers in Latin,
And then jump into bed
With algebra expressions still
Running through your head.
Always mind the seniors or
Else they’ll tap you down.
And always mind the juniors
Or else you’ll see a frown.
But the sophomores aren’t so;
stern;
‘Twas just last year they had
their turn.
And if with me you don’t agree,;
Try being a freshman; then you’ll1
see.
Oh, nine long months of study,
And then the term of study,
And you’ll not be the freshman ,
Who studied algebra one.

not rolled up or tied wtih a fancy
ribbon, yet they were greatly ap
preciated by the freshmen.

Some People
Just;»Naturally
Are That V/ay
Well, even if I had burned down
his old store, he needn’t have got
ten so sore. He acted like I did it
on purpose, i tried to explain how
I did it and when I got through he
seemed madder than ever. You see,
j this is how it happened:
j When I was at school the other
t day some boys told me that excel
sior wouldn’t bum. Well, I guess I
haye that instinct that all geniuses
are bom with-—to find out for
yourself.
So I went down to the basement
in the boss’ store and found the
excelsior box. It was kept in an old
wooden box, r figured the box was
so old it wouldn’t bum anyway,
and if the excelsior did catch on
fire, it wouldn’t take me long to at
tach the garden hose and put it
out. So you see I took every precau
tion. Safety first, that’s my motto.
Well, i guess the kids at school
must have been kidding when they
said the excelsior wouldn’t bum,
because it started right up with
one match, one thing led to anoth
er and so I just went upstairs and
awaited developments.
The next morning I went over to
sweep up but r didn’t see much use j
sweeping up what was left of the j
store and anyway, the broom was j
pretty badly singed. I went over to
the boss to see what he wanted
me to do. HO was standing where
the curio showcase used to be, gaz
J ing meditatively at the remains of
! the store. He Said some very cutting
things to me and so I told him I
I didn’t want to work in his old
| store anymore.
He gave me a funny look, so . I
added, if he ever built another. I
told him I knew lots of people that
were just crazy to have me work
for them and that he would be the
one that would be out if he contin
ued in his unreasonable attitude.
I wound up by saying if he only
had any sense of decency he would
nay me $1.98 for my rubbers that
the heat deformed. You should
have seen his face!
Some people are just naturally
ill-natured.

Moose Walked
Straight Into Miner's ■
Winter Cache, Pass '
__ ’ i
1
For two years Sam Oates, old
timer residing at Mile 28, Moose
Pass, stealthily trod the lowlands
and highlands for a chance to pull (
down on a moose. It was no use. ,
Two weeks ago he gave it up in
disgust and ordered some hambur- (
ger from a local market. ' (
' Last Wednesday morning, as he ,
was . cleaning up inside his cabin '
following a hearty' breakfast of ■
sourdough hot cakes, he heard a '
strange noise outside the cabin.
Peering through the frost-coated ,
window he was almost stricken
speechless with amazement for
there, under his very nose, was a
great monarch of the forest.
Sam jerked down the old gun,
opened the door quickly and as
quietly as possible, but the moose
heard him and with a bound was
200 feet away, going places like
nobody’s business. But right there
Sam dropped him with an accur
ate shot. Now Sam ha& plenty of
meat for the winter besides beef
hamburger. “Both were delivered)
on the hoof, you might say,” re
marked Sam.
Coal Barge Here
