ANCHORAGE, (JP) — Current
weather data from the unexplored
top of the world has been made
available for the first time in
history by the five-man crew liv

men on the 5-by-9 mile chunk of

SCHOOL NEWS
By OLAF HALVERSON
Beyond the span of our high
school years lies a future whose
destiny we can greatly modify to
bring us great rewards. If we will
build our lives upon a solid rock
of industry, perserverence, and
honest endeavor, we shall reap
bountifully. In order to attain
such a goal often means the giving
of our time in concentrated effort
towards scholarship. A good stu
dent will spend a budgeted portion
of time toward the preparation off
each lesson.
Many of our almuni built won
derful foundations of good study
habits while attending Nome
High School. They have cofntin
ued their education in colleges and
universities with startling success.
It therefore behooves us to re
dedicate ourselves to good habits
of study and industry.

Vincent Ahkolik who is attend
ing Gonzaga University, has been
out for boxing and basketball. His
studies keep him very busy, how
ever, so he does not have much
time for other activities. He plans
to spend the summer in Nome.

Autobiographies have been the
main subject of interest in the
English III class. Corrective ex

siderable portion of time also.

Because Mercury always has
the same side to the sun it is
thought to be tremendously hot.
The heat may be so great that
there is possibility of molten
oceans of lead and tin. Tidal
gravitations from the sun prevent
iviercury from rotating.
