School News
High School—
Aaron McCafferty has been out
this week due to an operation for
appendicitis. Aaron is one of Nome
Hieh’s seniors, and we are all hop
ing to see him back in school again
soon.
The students were verv satisfied
w:th the;r mid-holiday dance and
were glad to see such a nice crowd
there. Most of us are in favor of
eiving another dance soon.
The end of this semester is fast
aoproaching and with it. of course,
those dreaded semester tests. That
is the reason for the “nose to the
grindstone” attitude of mo?t of
the high school students these
days.
First and Second Grades—
The big event of the week was
the gift from Mr. Seidenverg of a
number of little books. We have
put the best story books in our li
brary and used them in reading
classes. Each child has several lit
tle books to color and to take
home.
We wrote notes and made post
ers asking for clothes for the peo
ple of the war-torn countries.
The boys and girls have en
joyed bringing many of their
Christmas presents to show the
others. Then we try to draw pic
tures of the ones that most inter
est us.
Third and Fourth Grades—
Everyone was back to school on
time after vacation. We hope this
is the beginning of a New Year’s
resolution, “Always present. Al
ways on time.”
Clarence Willoya of the sixth
grade brought a baby seal to the
room for every one to see. It was
most interesting and everyone is
grateful to Clarence for thinking
of the children in this room.
The third grade has drawn
clever illustrations of stories read
and the .ourth grade has illus
trated iheir history lessons with
equally fine work.
The Blue Jays have new read
ing books and the whole third
grade has begun the hygiene text
book.
Fift*> Grade—
The fifth and sixth grades
were all much pleased to learn
that Theresa Maxwell received the
doll and round robin letter we
sent her for Christmas. Theresa is
in the Santa Teresita Sanitarium
near Burbank, California. She has
an advanced case of tuberculosis,
according to newspaper accounts
and to her father, who has recent
ly returned from California. Ther
era particularly was pleased with
the big letter in which over forty
students wrote her about the
school news and other events.
Our art class has recently made
three different drawnigs of a
truck, box and baseball, cup and
spor.ge, which we have placed on
our walls in place of the Christ
mas drawings.
Sixth .Grade—
The second week in 1946, all
back to school and working. We
are having fun during our gym
periods playing baseball.
During part of th:s week and
next, we are giving oral book re
ports over some approved book
that w’e read during the first se
mester of school. It is interesting
to hear a story of the pioneers of
Matanuska Valley, a wild animal
story, or the thrilling adventures
of a little negro boy in the jungles
of Africa. The books we have read
cover a wide range of events and
happenings.
