PRODUCE DEPARTMENT
Indications are that there will be an over
production of lettuce, cabbage and radishes
This is particularly true of early cabbage
such as Golden Acre and other summer vari
eties. According to reports complied in
the Produce Department by Mr. Stacy there
is a shortage "of Turnip plantings. A heavy
■slanting of Celery is also indicated which,
may lead to overproduction if all of it
matures to Mo. 1'quality. More spinach
could be planted, and there is a market’
for green beans if they can be produced.
It, Stacy also said that ho never’has
enough rhubarb to fill the demand.

House and Office
hr, H G. Bryan, Engineer for the HEA,in
fcims us that he is desperately in need,
of a house and also office space. Palmer
has been given preference for the Head
quarters of the Territorial HEA Offices,
but unless Mr. Bryan can find an office
and a place to'live, he may be forced to•
look elsewhere. He has been offered a
7 room house in Seward and two rooms in
the Federal Building if he will move there
This will be a permanent location.
PALMER HIGH GRADUATES
14
Fourteen Seniors finished a twelve year
course of study and will be awarded their
diplomas as soon as they arrive. Due to
delay in the mails the diplomas were not
here in time for Commencement Hxercises
which were held in the Community Hall on
Wednesday evening, May 14.
Seven of the graduates in this class had
all of the twelve years of education in
the Palmer School. These seven have the
distinction of being the pioneers of the
shhool and received their first years in
struction in a box car which was sido
tracted for that purpose. Two of the mem
bers had their start in the temporary
school set up at the Butte Hall and in
spite of the knot holes in the floor which
claimed their marbles, probably had' the
advantage over those in the Box car.During
part of the year visiting teachers in
vaded the homes with their books, and at
another time instruction was given over
the pool tables in Horton’s.
Seven members of the class brought new
ideas with them from other schools and
have been warmly welcomed by the original
seven. They are:
Shirley Johnson Priscilla Krise
Phyllis TTilson 'Tendell Miller
Ray DeFriest Hilya Stenvall
