SCHOOL NEWS
By OLAF HALVERSON
Ambition to do something
worthwhile is a noble character
istic of all good students.
While studying your lessons
each day you should strive to de
termine what your life career
shall be. Having once determined
your future profession, you should
be eager to work towards that
goal. The ability to discover your
field of work at an early date is
of tremendous importance. It is
like having a compass which leads
you in the right direction.
A good example of finding out
what you want to do is found in
the life of Carl Ben Eielson, who
became America’s foremost Arc
tic pilot.
He was bom in Hatton, N.D.
He attended the university of that
state. In 1917, Eielson enlisted in
the Air Force and earned his
wings.
Several years later he came to
Fairbanks to teach in the high
school but he was immensely in
terested in pioneering flying in
Alaska. The first flight of 350
miles was to McGrath on the
Kuskokwim.
One day, Vilhjalmer Stefans
son, the distinguished Arctic ex
plorer, was helping Capt. George
Wilkins to organize an expedition
to fly over the Arctic Ocean. He
suggested that Eielson would be
the best pilot.
1 After several attempts, Eielson
and Wilkins in 1928 flew from
Point Barrow to Norway. Both
achieved world renown. The am
bition of Ben Eielson led him to
victory.

Junior Class Hosts To
Seniors and Guests At
Dinner Friday Night
Members of the Junior Class of
the Nome High School were hosts
. to the Seniors and their guests at
a banquet last evening in the Pio
neer hall. The hall was beauti
fully decorated in class colors of
red and white with fresh carna
tions on the tables.
Betty Hurlbert was toastmis
tress and George Bell, Junior
Class president, welcomed the
guests to a delicious turkey din
ner prepared by Mrs. J. E. Roth.
Taking part in the program
were Katherine Bjornstad, who
gave the class history; Clarence
Willoya, the class will; Alfred
Sahlin, the class prophecy. Bill
Boucher, in behalf of the Seniors,
expressed the appreciation of
the class for the dinner.
Appropriate music was present
ed on the piano by Lolita Haver
camp.
Addresses for the evening were
presented by Superintendent O.
G. Boe and Principal Olaf Hal
verson.
ACS Thanks Fire Dept.
For Prompt Response
The Nome Fire Department an
swered a call from the ACS trans
mitter station at the end of Stead
man Ave. Wednesday, where a
fire was reported.
By the time they reached there,
Jiowever, the fire had been put
out, due to the quick action of
the crew on duty—Sgt. Robert
Cutford and Cpl. Jewell Bush,
who used fire extinguishers.
It is reported that moisture is
believed to have entered an insul
ator carrying high-frequency ra
dio signals, causing a flash to the
wet wood of the building. No
damage was done.
Warrant Officer Filley, who was
in charge, stated, “The ACS wish
es to express its appreciation to
the Nome Fire Department and to
the volunteer citizens of Nome
for their prompt assistance, as
the fire could have been serious.”
Rotary Shown Merchant
Marine’s War Work
“Like G.I. Joe himself, a ship
of the merchant marine may not
be a glamorous looking specimen,
but it does the work, and it gets
around.” Rotary was viewing a
sound motion film on the contri
bution of Uncle Sam’s merchant
marine at the club’s Thursday
noon luncheon. Eighty per cent of
all material reaching Korea got
their via the U.S. merchant mar
ine; thousands of North Koreans
were evacuated via the freight
boats before U. N. forces blew
beachhead docks and retreated be
low the 38th parallel. The sober
ing thought was the temptation
such a target would make for a
few hundred under-sea raiders.
Guests were„ Walter Baker,
Gaasland Co., Bellingham; well
known K. M. Simpson of M-K Co.;
Bob Woods of Black Bear Mfg.
Co., Anchorage; and F. McGinty,
Department of Justice, Anchorage.
