Dear Editor:
In a recent edition the Mirror
carried a short paragraph stating
that there seemed to be a lack of
spirit in the local high school. I
expected a few letters to the edi
tor, but it seems nobody is inter
ested. I have asked a number of
students about this. A letter was
written by a student or students,
approved by a teacher, on why
there was a lack of school spirit. It
was squelched! It was reported
that the only reason for mention
ing it in your paper was to increase
circulation. Is this true or are
school authorities afraid to face
facts?
After hearing some of the stu
dents, I have no doubt that there
is a lack of spirit. I remember
school as being a wonderful time
of life, but all these students will
remember are you will do this and
you won’t do that.
A few of the questions I would
like answered are as follows:
Why can’t the students have
their picnic this year?
What was so bad in the school
paper that the school authorities
ordered it reprinted? I understand
that they were not the teachers
working with the students.
When the majority of one par
ticular class gets D’s and F’s, whose
fault is it?
Why can’t the students ring the
cow bell at basketball games when
their team makes a basket? I un
derstand the noise disturbs the
older audience. Seems to me the
games are for the students. Since
basketball is the main sport, it
seems that they should go all out.
I imagine that the Coach and team
would have more spirit in knowing
they are backed to the hilt.
For a small school isn’t there
quite a few students quitting when
they reach their 16th birthday?
Why is it necessary to jerk and
slap male students around? Are
the students that bad or is the
fault elsewhere?
Why do the students have to
take a 15 minute detention if they
have to leave the classroom during
class, no matter what the reason?

Dear Mr. Mason:
Somewhere in the mails between
Kodiak and the most remote place
still in the USA my 28 Dec. 1962
issue of the Mirror got lost. Will
you please send me another so I
can keep posted on Kodiak’s going
ons and take the cost of the issue
off the end of my subscription date
when I renew.
We think the Kodiak Mirror,
without AP releases is the BIG
GEST little paper we have seen.
Three cheers for REAL home
town reporting. I hope your sub
scription doubles.
Sincerely,
Wilson F. Erskine
(Ed’s Note: No paper pub
lished Dec. 28.)

It must be downright tough in
good old Florida.
According to the January 11 is
sue of the Pensacola News, it says:
“There’s lotsa winter ahead yet,
but it can’t get much colder than
last December’s frigid spell.”
“Alaska residents who lived in
Pensacola are still chucklin’ over
temperature comparisons between
the ‘sunny’ South and our new
state. The Louis M. Drumms, for
mer Pensacolians wrote Court
house employe Mrs. Gladys Han
drop that when our temperatures
were at the 10-15 level skies in Ko
diak. Alaska, were clear, ther
mometers were bouncin’ at the 40
to 50 mark and people were walkin’
around in short sleeves.”
The Louis L. Drumm family is
stationed at the Navy Base here.
