Chernoff’ s Essay
Wins Mention
The following essay, written
by Allen Chernoff, senior in
Kodiak High School, is fifth
in a series that have appeared
in the MIRROR.
The title is Why We Need
A New School. The students
entered their essays in a con
test conducted and judged by
the Kodiak PTA.
Do you, the people of Ko
diak know what it’s like go
ing to school in a quonset hut,
a cold and crowded one at
that? It’s not very pleasant
when you have to sit down
and study in a cold room, and
your hands are so cold you
ean hardly write. Yes! That’s
the way we get our education
In the Kodiak High School.
There are five quonset huts
on the school grounds and
everyone of the huts are in
adequately heated. When the
wind blows, the huts are also
very drafty.
Besides being cold huts,
they are also crowded. The
huts are small and some of the
classes are large, too large in
fact to fit around the tables
provided in the study hall.
The Kodiak High School
students are getting a gooi
education so why don’c you,
the people of Kodiak help
them receive a pleasant one
by getting in the swing of
I things and see about the “new
[school” that we, the students
I of Kodiak High were supposed
| to get.
