Thirty-five Graduate From High School;
Dr. Norby Delivers Stirring Address
An address on “Vision Unlimit
ed” was delivered to the graduat
ing class at Commencement exer
cises Tuesday evening at the Ko
diak high school, by Dr. Theo
Norby, Commissioner of Educa
tion, Alaska Department of Educa
tion, before a good sized audience
of parents and friends of the
graduates.
Prefacing his remarks with the
statement that we have a big job
in Alaska in education, Dr. Norby
stated that we can have as good
an educational system here as we
desire. He stated that challenges
offered him in his job provide
visions unlimited. His particular
“vision,” he said, is to provide
education to every child in Alaska,
from no matter how remote an
area.
Dr. .Norby admonished the grad
uates to gain this vision, which he
said was necessary to accomplish
ment. “It may be a dream, a Sight,
or imagination—call it what you
may — someone had to have a
vision. Ideas accepted today were
once laughed at.”
The educator then stated that
there hasn’t been much developed
by a vision of security, and warned
against students accepting this as
sufficient.
Your time is now,” Dr. Norby
stated. As to opportunities In the
future, he said, the best-informed
person on any one subject, is al
ways in demand. “This can apply
to Alaska,” he stated. “You will
need faith in the future. You will
need ideas as big as physical
Alaska. There is so much that is
little-known about its resources.”
He mentioned specifically king
crab as one example.
The class was presented by Mrs.
Ellen Dawson, high school prin
cipal, followed by the presenta
tion of diplomas by Dr. A. Holmes
Johnson, president of the School
Board.
The presentation of awards was
then made by Ivor Schott, Super
intendent of Schools. Milton Sou
ter won the Rotary Pat Lynch
Memorial Scholarship award of
$500. A $300 scholarship was
awarded to Tommy Shugak. This
was furnished by the Sitka and
Kodiak Telephone Company. He
also was awarded a $50 scholarship
from Sears Roebuck & Co.
Judith Beck received a $750

a $250 scholarship to the Alaska
Methodist University. Two awards,
