Hostess of the Week
by VIKI ELLIS
This Week’s Hostess, Mrs.
Roger Lang, is a charming,
attractive young lady who
perhaps needs no introduc
tion. But for those who have
not had the pleasure of meet
ing her, we shall not leave
out the1 formalities. Born and
educated in Sitka, Ellen
Lang is a member of one of
Sitka’s oldest families and
daughter of Andrew Hope,
former member of the House
of Representatives of Alaska.
She is also a member of the
Raven Clan of the Thlinget
Tribe, and fondly recalls
hearing the Indian myths in
early childhood from her
grandparents; a delightful
custom which is apparently
dying out in our busy mod
ern world. Upon graduating
from Sheldon Jackson School
Ellen met and married
Roger Lang from Metlakatla,
an Eagle Clansman of the
Tsimpsean tribe.
Besides her duties as house
wife and mother, Mrs. Lang
also fulfills the demanding
role of “Matron of the Girls
Dormitory at Mt. Edge.
School; a job that she finds
both interesting & challeng
ing and which brings her in
to close contact with the
students. Sht' does, in fact,
work right in the Dormitory
counseling in relation to
housekeeping and indoor liv
ing. The dormitories, we
learned, are “barracks” style
with eight girls to a section,
which affords little privacy,
a situation which often cre
ates problems that must be
dealt with, but the girls
apparently adjust easily to
community living. Mrs. Lang
tells us that the girls come
from all parts of Alaska
from Metlakatla to the South
and as far North as Barrow,
all of which gives her an ex
cellent geographical know
ledge of the country, an ac
quaintance with various pre
parations of foods from dif
ferent locales, and a keen in
sight into the thoughts and
manners of to-day’s teen
ager. She is completely fa
miliar with current slang but
we are happy to report, does
not use it! And is an author
ity on Elvis Prestly since re
cords by him are played be
fore, between and after the
eight daily classes by the
teen-age girls. The less social
aspect of Mrs. Lang's job in
volves the granting of passes
for town on certain days, the
supervision of work assign
ments, the handling of many
and diverse requests, coun
seling on personal behav
iour, in fact, as Mrs. Lang
puts it “It’s almost like
bringing up a large family
We were very interested
to hear of the “work pro
gram” set up for students at
\it. Edgecombe. This en
ables students to go out and
do baby sitting or houseclean
ing in private homes. Many
times friendships of long
standing have resulted from
these relationships. ...
Mrs. Lang seemed partic
ularly enthusiastic about the
new summer program of the
school. Through government
aid many children will now
he able to spend their sum
mer vacations at their homes
Many of these students have
hitherto remained at Mt. Ed
gecumbe throughout the en
tire high school period. The
new program will provide a
change in environment and
will serve to keep the students
happily familiar with their
families and communities,
all of which will, in turn,
lead to a happier school life
Mrs Lang also finds time
for a good deal of church
work. She is president of the
board of trustees of the Pres
byterian church and an exe
cutive member of the wo
mail* organization or tne
church. No doubt her wide
interest in the womens act
ivities of her church was in
part at least responsible for
her participation in the Paci
fic Fellowship Team which
toured the Far East year be
fore last. Mrs. Lang was the
only member from Alaska
anti one of four from the U.S.
Other countries represented
on the Team were India, the
Philippines, Korea and the
City of Hong Kong. Mem
bers of the team met in Se
attle and toured the major
cities and towns of Alaska
before taking off from Anch
orage for Japan, first stop on
the itinerary which included
Korea, Hong Kong, The Phil
ippines, the trip took ten
weeks.
This must, indeed, have
been a fascinating trip and
Mrs. Lang recalled with still
a trace of excitement the
thrill of landing in the big
gest city in the world, hear
ing only the Japanese langu
age spoken on the Airport
Intercom and exchanging
American currency into Jap
anese yen three hundred
and sixty five of them to
the American dollar enough
to make one feel like a mil
lionaire overnight!”
Mrs. Lang noted on her
trip that there was a good
deal of interest shown in Ala
ska and a certain amount of
confusion resulted from the
fact that she roomed with a
lady from India.
Interpreters had difficulty
differentiating between the
two Indian ladies and fin
ally resorted to a jest, re
ferring to Mrs. Lang as “The
Mistaken Iridain!”
The city of Hong Kong,
though beautiful, the mem
bers of the team found dis
turbing, for it seethed inter
nail) with the discontent of
a million Chinese refugees,
many of whom had risked
their lives to get to the one
free city in China only to
lind that there was neither
space nor employment for
them. Many remained, liv
ing in squalor but many
others returned to Commu
nism.
I he ladies were of course
particularly observant of
foods and methods of cook
ery in the various countries
In Japan, for instance, some
of the food was actually cook
ed at the table by means of
charcoal burners and dinner
consisted of six courses, in
cluding Sukiyaki. Rice is the
staple food in the Far East
and excellent tea is a dinner
tradition, ranging from
Green Ming in Japan to Bar
ley Tea in Korea. In Hong
Kong they sampled a var
iety of Chinese cooking.
Here dinner ran to nine
courses with a variety of
iruits adding a final contrast
ing touch to the delicate sub
tleties of spice and herb. In
Manila fresh coconut was
served for dessert and Mrs.
Lang noted that Phillippine
food is more pungent than
Japanese or Chinese but
still most “pleasing to the
palate”.
We left our hostess feel
ing that Alaska had, indeed,
been well represented in the
Far East by this lovely lady
who maintains that women’s
roles and concerns are
similar the world over, al
though all countries do not
enjoy the push button age.
We found it fitting, too, that
Alaska should have been re
presented by a member of
the Indian peoples whose re
cipe below indicates that she
is an excellent good-will am
bassador for her native
America.
