NOT SO BAD AT THAT
When you consider that in other parts of the world
the people face anarchy and communism, with the subse
quent loss of life and destruction of property, the evils
that confront the United States are small indeed.
We have plenty of food (if you can get it), unlimited
resources to produce more, and no man need worry too
much over the future as long as his stomach and ambition
hold out.
Here in Alaska we are doubly fortunate. All we have
to worry about is money. No man need go hungry who
can scrape enough powder and lead together to kill ptar
migan and spruce hens, or bailing wire to trap rabbits.
The valleys are full of wood, and the latchstring is al
ways out. Our officers are good shots and our citizens
can still walk the streets knowing they will not get hit
by a stray bullet, or run over by a speed maniac.
Italy contemplates exploring the Tiber river for gold
en votive offerings cast in by the early Romans. Maybe
if a few divers are put to work in the Hudson river at
New York they will find where that missing $11,000,000
000 of the $22,000,000,000 mined since 1492 is cached.
SCHOOL NOTES
(SEWARD’S FOLLY)
1932 Alumni Has
Well Wishes Of
Student Body
On the night of May 19, seven
seniors were graduated from the
Seward High School. The auditor
ium was filled for the graduation
exercises of Doris Sullivan, Doro
thea Fairman. Lois Jessen, An
nie Golley, Charles Lang, Edwin
Sandbeck and Andy Peterson. j
With Miss Kaemmer playing
the piano, the procession, led by;
Mr. DeBolt, advanced onto the;
stage.
Mr. DeBolt made the opening;
address, relating a few prin
ciples which should be followed in
life.
Addressing the graduating sen
iors. Fr. Merrill Sulzman told how
he felt when he graduated from
high school. He gave them but
little advice, but it was the kind
that should go a long way.
Following Father Sulzman's ad
dress. the valedictorian. Doris
Sullivan, compared each member
of the senior class with ships em
barking on the sea of life. The
audience felt that Doris did her
part well in representing the sett
le ior class.
Mr. R. D. Sullivan, the president
of the school board, presented the
diplomas, remarking sadly as he
did so, “And they worked four
years for this piece of paper.”
As the happy alumni filed out
the door, they received many pre
sents from parents and friends.
The high school joins in wishing
the alumni success and happiness
in life. (D. R.)
Junior Class Notes
The Junior class elected Miss
Allison for sponsor for the year
1933-34.
Richard Prosser and Russell
Johnston, who also were Juniors,
did not enroll in school this year.
ruui aooLniDL,!
Our first assembly was called by
our new Superintendent, Mi*.
Glrnn Rogers, for the sole purpose
of introducing the new teachers
to the students.
The students met in the second
floor in the “north wing” of the
High School and the following
teachers were introduced:
Miss M. Allison, Miss B. Hen
ney, Mr. R. Nipps, Mrs. J. McCann.
Mr. G. Rogers. All are new teach
ers of William H. Seward School.
Besides these teachers, Miss P.
Ray, Miss L. Sears and Mrs. K.
Rager were present. As each was
introduced Mr. Rogers said some
thing interesting about them.
The students applauded very
loudly as each teacher was intro
duced and so ended the first as
sembly—a big success in every
way.
School Orchestra
> To Be Organized
It has been decided by the
Senior class to organize a high
school orchestra, using purely
school talent. Although no defi
nite plans have been made as
yet, the enthusiasm shown
by many of the students has con
vinced the sponsors of the idea
that an orchestra will be a reality
in the near future.
It is felt that it will be finan
cially impossible to hold enter
i tainments more than thre^ or
four times a year, but it is plan
ned to work up the orchestra in
the intervening time to a high
point of perfection.
In the past, a High school or
chestra has been given very lit
tle thought by the students, but
now that the subject has beer
brought up, both students anc
faculty unite in boosting the new
project along.
