SCHOOL NEWS
By OLAF HALVERSON
Nome High School can be justly
proud of her graduates. Juanita
Fagerstrom is attending Puget
Sound College, located at Tacoma,
Wash. Besides taking anatomy,
psychology and several other sub
jects, she is taking music. She
often plays the piano for group
singing at college.
Several former Nome students,
including Logan Dowd, Lois Swan
berg, Vincent Ahkolik, Juanita
Fagerstrom and others, had a
most pleasant reunion in Seattle
before departing for their respec
tive colleges.
Lois Swanberg is enrolled at
the Colorado Women’s College in
the city of Denver. The picture
she sent of the campus is truly
beautiful. She is enjoying the
school very much,
Vincent Ahkolik is attending
Gonzaga University, located in
Spokane, Wash. He is kept very
busy with his studies, together
with some work to assist him
through college.

Literature III students have been
studying the life and writings of
Benjamin Franklin. A sample of
his first early writing, “Poor Rich
ard’s Almanac,” appears in the
literature book.
Physics students have been
studying about atmospheric pres
sure. They have constructed their
own barometer by means of a
glass tube and mercury. The great
Italian philosopher, Galileo, found
that a suction pump would not
raise water more than 33 feet. He
left it to his friend and successor,
Torricelli to invent the barometer.

The moon is now gradually in
creasing in size from new moon
to full. By the time it reaches
full, which will be Oct. 14, we
will have the beautiful Hunter’s
Moon. Because the moon makes
such a small angle with the hori
zon at this time of the year, it
rises early and appears large. This
will be the last phenomenon of
this kind during the fall.
