CHRISTMAS PARTY
This year’s student council spon
sored Christmas party was one of
the most enjoyable ever held. A
musical presentation of Christmas
numbers was given by the capable
choir and band.
The Drama Club gave a skit that
dealt on humorous word puns.
Santa Claus, portrayed by Mr.
Mills, ran onto the stage throwing
candy canes to the audience. 01’
St. Nick then helped the shortest
members of each class (his dwarfs)
in distributing exchange gifts. Re
freshments and dancing provided
entertainment for the remainder
of the last school day before vaca
tion.
BENNY BENSON FUND
Kodiak high recently undertook
two fund-raising campaigns—one
to contribute to the local Benny
Benson drive and one for the
Christian Children’s Fund. Money
for the former was donated indi
vidually by the students, while
clubs and classes were asked to
contribute to the latter. Under
C.F.F. provisions our school
adopted a poor Chinese girl, Ku
Hui Chun last year. We hope to
continue the same plan this year.

Homework Subject
Of P.T.A. Panel
The panel discussion on “What
Parents and Teachers Should Know
About Homework” at the PTA
meeting last Thursday brought into
focus several pertinent points. Tel
evision, telephones, and trips to
town interfere with good studying.
One of the teachers had his class
along wtih their assignment keep
track of the time and kind of in
terruptions during their study
period at home. Those who had
the least interference received the
highest grades. For the students
who can’t seem to find peace and
quiet at home the school library
is open at eight in the morning
and until five in the evening.
“Parents who help with home
work are a wonderful asset,” one
of the teachers declared. But some
times the wrong slant is taken by
the parents toward homework es
pecially in the lower grades with
the result that the children are
frustrated and fearful regarding
it. Older students sometimes need
strong measures, but in the lower
grades a gentler approach is rec- '•
ommended, certainly for some
children. Neither parents nor i
teachers approved of homework 1
for homework’s sake; it should be i
for a definite addition to the day’s i
lessons, not just “busywork.”
In answer to the question, “What
are the incentives for homework?”
the honor roll, the National Honor
Society, and the fact that some col
leges require a 3.5 average for ad
mission were given. One parent
stated that there is so much to be
learned—that should be incentive
enough.
Doesn’t anyone have an extra
book around the house that they
could donate to the high school
library?

Western Clipper
Has Close Shave
Skipper Gordon Nelson’s 80-foot
Western Clipper had a close shave
with disaster last Friday when the
flange slipped on her rudder stock
allowing the rudder to swing into
the propellor. This happened while
she was checking crab pots about
two miles outside of Tuale Bay on
the Alaska Peninsula with a strong
SE wind blowing the helpless ves
sel shoreward.
As crewmen attempted to repair
the rudder, Skipper Nelson put in
a distress call to the Coast Guard
and the CG Cutter Storis was dis
patched to render assistance.
The crew succeeded in turning
the flange enough to be able to
steer the craft and they made it
nto Uyak Bay where at anchor
:hey made further repairs. They
hen got underway at slow speed
’or Port Wakefield where they
arrived at 4:30 Saturday afternoon.
Marine Surveyor Bill Damery
ook scuba diver Bill McLinn out
o make an inspection and the ves
»el was then beached at Port Bailey
vhere temporary repairs were ef
fected. She then came into Kodiak
o replace an anchor damaged dur
ng a blow two days prior to the
udder failure.
