the beautiful poem found on the
first page of this issue is Princi
pal Teacher of the Kodiak Public
Schools.
Miss Clarke’s home is in Washing
ton. She is a graduate of the Uni
versity of that State.
Miss Clark writes many beautiful
poems which are much appreciated
by her friends in this community
Her "Muse” does not, however,
always lead her into the sublime and
mysterious "Poets World,” but nu
merous are the jingles which, spark
ling with fun and humor, drive away
the "blue*” from many a homesick
heart.
Miss Clark i a general favorite
and adds much to the social side of
life as well as being a competent in
structor
