Last week the students of Copper Valley
School completed quarter exams. These exams j
were the first big tests this year so many
students were quite apprehensive of the
results. Students hope the teachers will
! take this into consideration and be lenient
in grades for the first quarter!!
On the second of November skating was
held for the first time thi^ year under the |
dome of the school. The ice was not quite
| thick enough though. The skaters were on
f spots of cement at times. This cai d several!
j falls. Skates that were sharpened were ruined
I st the end of the attempt, Refreshments were j
I served? hot chocolate and doughnuts. Even
though the ice wasn't good;, all spirits were |
raised by the goodies. The rink has been
flooded several times since the first skating;
attempt. This has increased the thickness
of the ice. So Friday's skating should be
improved to a great extent.

One of the greatest assets of human
beings is to know what other people do. For j
this reason Copper Valley Student Council hai
established inter-school exchanges of the
student council minutes. Copper Valley Stu-j
dent Council has received minutes from Westj
High;, Eielson^ Wasilla, etc. These minutes j
are posted on the Student Council Bulletin \
Board for the students here to see and read, j
Student Council is working on a student handj
book. This handbook will contain all items
related to Copper Valley School and after
the completion of the handbook the students
will each be given one. The Movie Club which
was initiated last year is under way since
the Club Constitution has been approved by
the Student Council. It is hoped that this
club may succeed in its aim of enlightening
the students on the movies they witness. The;
club members will discuss the main points
of the movies and other points necessary to j
further the students' need and Copper Valley j
School spirit. The Pep Club also has sub
mitted its Constitution tc the Student Coun
cil for approval. This
spirit of sportsmanship
Student Council has now its own bulletin
board. Bulletins are posted on all the mat
ters relating to the Student Council, One
great item brought about at the recent stu
dent body meeting is the plan of helping
those in need for Christmas, Details of the
plan are being brought to the Student Coun
cil meetings for discussion. The idea has
been thought to be a sound scheme, A few
