THE ISLAND STAR
KODIAK SCHOOL NE1WS
School Section
Added Feature
With this issue we incorporate
in the Kodiak Mirror the first
section devoted to school news.
The name of the section, The
Island Star, was chosen because
it was the name of a mimeograp
paper previously published by
the school, but not started this
year.
The “Star” will appear each
week with news prepared by stu
dents under the direction of their
teachers.
We are indebted to School Su
perintendent Clifton, wh#se coop
eration made the arrangement
possible.
