Harold Foss, who reported to the
club on the developments of the

Lawrence told of the trip to
Anchorage and the various ac
tivities while enroute and at the
airbase school and what he en
joyed most on the trip.
He was official bugler for the
entire encampment, which was
quite an honor.
He stated that the Nome boys
received honorable mention as
being the best dressed group of
boys at the encampment, and also
for the high standards in their
final examinations, as Chucky
Wheeler was in the group which
made the highest score.
The nine boys from Nome were
separated with the other boys from
various parts of the territory and
placed in barracks on the base, so
that no two Nome boys were to
gether.
Brownie gave his impressions
of the encampment and some of
the special features of the train
ing pictures and lessons which
were shown to the boys.
He stated that there were 91
boys in the air school, and it was
hoped that by next year there
would be even more boys attend
ing.
Both boys were happy with the
entire trip. “It was wonderful.”
