The editor of the Nome Daily
Nuigget is in receipt of a letter
from a real old sourdough, named
Lyman S. Burrell, now living at
Beatty, Nevada, which speaks for
itself, and is herewith printed:
Editor Nome Nugget.
Nome, Alaska.
My Dear Sir:
On the 12 of this June, it will
be 32 years since I left the dear
old town of Nome, which is a
long, long time, in this fast chang
ing age. I expect that there are
very few of the old timers left.
I often catch my mind wander
ing back to the barren shores of
Bering Sea,and the dear old town
of Nome, and wonder how every
*hing‘ is there now.
I went to Nome in 1899 and was ■
i member of the first city council
under the old Consent Govern
ment. If the details, and admin
istration of that Council could be
reproduced,it would make a very
interesting picture, that would
make Hollywood sit up and take

notice.
I stayed in Nome seven years,
and enjoyed every minute of it,
and if I was a younger man I
would soon wend my way back
to tile far North, where I passed
ten of the happiest years of my
life.
There are many things I would
like to ask about, but as I have
not heard from Nome for many
years, I will close by asking you 1
to send me your paper, to the
amount of $1.00, money order,
which you will find herein.
Hoping to receive the paper,
I remain sincerely,
LYMAN S. BURRELL,
Box 134, Beatty, Nevada..
P. S:—Should you meet with
any Old Timers, who may remem
ber me. give them my kindest re
gards, and 1 can tell you that I
remember every one of them.
Editor's Note—The Nome Nug
get will republish the story soon
giving the interesting story of
the first city council under the
old Consent form of Government,
for the interest of Mr. Burrell, as
well as many other old timers,
and also for the information of'
the many new comers to our'
fair city during the past several
years.

Commencement
Services For 8
At eight o'clock last evening,
the public gathered in the high
school gymnasium to witness the
Commencement exercises for the
class of 1937—the first class to
graduate from Nome's new school
building. Through the efforts of
the Juniors, the stage was attrac
tively decorated with flowers,
and a large silver '37.
The invocation by Rev. Widney
opened the ceremony.
Mr. Pool presented the class to
Mrs. McLain, official representa
tive of the School Board. Each
member f the class spoke of the
benefit which had been derived
from some particular phase of
high school life or instruction.
Presentation of diplomas was
made by Mi's. McLain to mem
bers of the Graduating Class as
follows:
Geraldine Rude.
Ben Mann,
Rita O’Leary,
Fred Waid,
Borgny Ulricksen
Stanley Amarok,
Marguerite Lee,
Norvin Lewis.
Mr. Pool, after describing the
nature of the honorary letters
given by the high school, award
ed them to the following students:
Ann Walsh, Rita O’Leary, Fred
Waid, Vesta Poison, Lois Ost,
Charles Lewis, Audrey Dunham,
Lincoln Ost. Mary Hood Chap
man, Martin Willoya, and Harry
Lewis.
As a surprise to the audience
came the announcement that Mr.
Polet had given to the school a’
plaque on which was to be in
scribed each year the name of a
Senior who had contributed most
to high school life during the
four years of membership. The
first name to be inscribed on this
plaque is that of Rita O’Leary,
outstanding school citizen of the
Class of ’37.
During the exercises, the Girl’s

Miss Scott, and the Harmonica
