COPPER VALLEY SCHOOL NEWS - FRED F SOPHIE
The Copper Valley Choir, consisting of
26 members, traveled to Fairbanks to sing
for the mass at which the Verv Reverend
LM shop Francis Gleeson, S.J., D.D., was
installed in the Missionary Diocese at
Fai rf snks.
The difference between a vicariate and
a diocese was mentioned in the following
quote: "The difference between a vicariate
and a diocese is the relation of the bishop
to the people. In a vicariate, the bishop
acts under the name of the Holy Father. In
a diocese, the bishop takes possession as
ordinary and rules in his own name."
After the mass the choir was escorted
to the Monroe luncheon room and treated to
a meal. The food was excellent, the ac
comodations were supert and the trip was
enjoyed by all.
Sounds of gay laughter and tapping
feet floated into the still of the night
curing the evening of February 25th at the
Mardi Gras dance at CVS. The dance was
sponsored by the senior class. It began
'at 7:15 p.m. The dance was a costume dance.
The boys came in their suits and masks and
thf girls came in their Sunday best with
masks. The theme song of the dance was
"Lonely Dull," a song to which a person
can do any dance h' wishes. The icy, who
was chosen as the "Lonely Bull," was Jce
Sme1ser.
There were prizes of $2.50 for the
best masks of high school girls anc boys,
wtTich Renee Lemmon and George. Edwardson
won, and $1.50 for the best masks of grade
school girls and 'oys, which Cecilia
Jorgensen and Terry Speerstra won. A
marathon contest was held. Winning first
prize, $2.00 were Judy Snow and Richard
Jung. The second prize of $1.00 went to
Tiny Demienticff and Trygve Jorgensen.
This was our last dance until Easter.
Like Cinderella, only earlier, we stopped
when the clock struck ten and glided
home, tirfd but invigorated.
For two days the schedule at CVS
slewed aj^d reached a standstill. Teachers'
and students alike retreated to the
relative safety cf thei r Lcds to escape
the flu germ. For two days our nurse ran •
frantically from one bed to another, taking
temperetures, giving shots, giving pills, '
putting a person to bed, and a hundred
other things. At last the germ began to
retreat. It brought about 60 of the
students down and many of the staff. Now
everyone is back on his feet, weak but
glad to be out of bed.
■ ' The-competition between classes has
started' once again'. 'With deafening roar
the. students are cheering their class on
to victory or defeat. Starting the
tournament, the Sophomores defeated the
Seniors. The Freshmen and Juniors
played and the Juniors were defeated. The
Seniors and Juniors then played and the
Seniors were victorious. That same night
the Seniors played the Freshmen and beat
them. Now the Seniors and Sophomorfs wi11
play for the championship this Friday.
We will post a short note informing you
of the results in the next edition.
