Japanese Festival
Dolls Presented
Would you believe that,
in a way, Edgecombe School
is taking part in the Japanese
Peach Blossom Festival?
Well, when the president of
the Alaska Lumber and Pulp
Co. presented Mt. Edge
combe School with a set of
miniature Japanese festival
dolls-O Hina Sana- on March
25th, students at Edgecombe
became participants.
These dolls were given to
us to commemorate the first
voyage of a Japanese vessel
to Sitka in connection with
the pulp mill, and also to
promote good will and under
standing among the peoples
of Alaska and Japan.
The exquisite gift was pre
sented last Tuesday in a brief
ceremony which took place
in the school superintendents
office. Mary Stiekman was
the lucky girl who got to
open the gift while George
Butler took pictures of the
presentation.
The dolls will be no dis
play for all students to see
as soon as a suitable place
can be made. As you admire
the beauty of the gift, re
member that it is a symbol
of a lasting friendship be
tween Alaska and japan.

To present the new con
stitution and by-laws of the
Student Activities Associa
tion for the approval of the
student body, Robin R. Dean
School Superintendent, call
ed a special assemdly on
March 31.
The new constitution,

gulations in the B. I. A. Man
ual, was the work of an ap
pointed committee: Miss Mc
Neill, Chairman, Mrs. John
son, Mr. Martin, Student
Council sponsor, George But
ler, Student Body President,
and Irving Ashenfelter, Vice
president. This committee
has been working for several
months in re-writing the con
stitution and by-laws so they
will be acceptable.
George Butler read the con
stitution and by-laws, part
by part, to the assembled stu
dent body, and with the help
of Mr. Martin, explained
some of the new parts: (1)
New banking system for
clubs; (2) Gontrol over the
School Store and Bowling
Alley; (3) Student Council to
compose of 13 members, and
the Advisory Committee of 3
people; (4) The new election
system. After these and other
items were explained, the
student body voted unani
mously to accept the con
stitution and by-laws.
Now that the students have
approved them, Mr. Dean
will send the new constitu
tion and by-laws to the Area
Director for his approval.
New Steam Presses And
Washers At Work
Siss-sss-s, that’s the new
steam press at the Boys’
Dorm. Siss-sss-s, day in and
day out you keep hearing
that noise. You get curious,
go in, and take a look.
As you go through the
door you notice a couple of
new washers gleaming white
and clean. You stand there,
getting the satisfaction of
watching the boys work the
new machines, then you say
to yourself, “Guess 111 get up
early tomorrow, and try them
out myself.”
