School News
Miss Sprole was absent Monday
and Tuesday of this week and we
were glad to see her back again
on Wednesday.
A holiday dance was one of the
topics of discussion at a recent
Nome High School student body
meeting. December 29th was sug
gested as the date for the party
and a committee was appointed to
present the matter to the school
board.
We were once more reminded of
the passing of another six-weeks
period by the passing of our report
cards on Friday. There was a good
deal of improvement in the grades
as compared with our last cards.
The honor roll for the last six
weeks will appear in the Christ
mas edition of the “North Star.”
1st and 2nd Grades
First and second graders neither
absent nor tardy for the second
six weeks were Henry Blatchford
Chuckle Fagerstrom, Helen Sah
lin, Robert Dunbar and Lucy Ann
Fagerstrom.
On the Honor Roll are: First
grade: Chuckie Fagerstrom; Sec
ond Grade Carolyn Hyndman,
Tommie Fults and Robert Dunbar.
We are enjoying being Santa
Claus’ helpers as we work on pres
ents for loved ones and Christmas
decorations.
We are surely glad that wfe have
learned to write well so Santa
Claus can read the letters we are
writing to him.
3rd and 4th Grades
Only five people: Robert Sum
mers, John Wassmann Julia
Brown Christine Blatchford, and
Mary Joan Thompson, had perfect
attendance records for the last six
weeks.
The third grade lost one mem
ber when Nancy Raney left, with
her parents to live in Anchorage,
but the enrollment in that grade
was kept up for John Norbert of
1 Holy Cross entered the next day.
The children of the third and
I fourth grades have enjoyed hear
ing "The Bird’s Christmas Carol,”
by Kate Douglas Wiggins. Many
of the children bring their books
from home and keep the room
supplied with good stories for
j opening exercises.
5th Grade
In Art Class we are making
table covers or scarfs, designed in
each corner with crayon stencils.
Our new geography books are
very interesting with many beau
tiful pictures of various parts of
bur country. We are enjoying
them very much.
Our Recreation Reading period
once a week is interesting to us.
We are reading a very exciting
story about a mysterious message.
Today we drew names for ex
change of gifts for our Christmas
party.
6th Grade
Those that were neither absent I
nor tardy the past six weks are: J
Ralph Bingham, Kitty Bjornstad,
Wilfred Boucher, Diana Larson,
Mary Louise Lyle, John Sahlin,
Darlene Wait, Johnny Willet, Hat
tie Nuipok and May Blatchford.
This is less than half or our room.
We are hoping to do better this
next six weeks period.
We enjoy receiving Our Weekly
Reader, which is a little newspa

Headquarters, Alaska Depart
ment—Restrictions heretofore im
posed on fox farming in the Aleu
tian Islands by this headquarters
and by the Joint Chief of Staff,
except for Shemya, have been
lifted, Lt. Gen. Delos C. Emmons,
Commanding General of the Alas
kan Department, announced re
cently. It is further stipulated
that fox farmers or trappers will
not be permitted to encroach up
on or interfere or tamper with
military and naval installations
or equipment on any islands.
Gen. Emmons has advised the
Fish and Wildlife Service, Depart
ment of the Interior, of the lifting
of all restrictions, with the excep
tion noted above, with reference
to fox farming. Thus a major
Alaskan industry, that netted op
erators an average gross income
of approximately $100,000 annual
ly before the war, may now be
resumed.
