Kodiak High School’s Cheer Leader,
“Ball of Energy,” In Queen Contest
The girl voted to be “the cutest'’
by the Senior class this year and
elected in her Freshman year as
“most beautiful,” Miss Polly Per
ry, has been entered as a Queen
Contestant in this year’s King
Crab Festival.
A 17 year old member of this
year’s Senior class of Kodiak High
School, the blue-eyed, blonde Miss
Perry is majoring in a secretarial
course in her studies here.
A trim 5’ 4”, the petite Miss
Polly is a “ball of energy,” who
likes all types of sports, including
bowling and swiming. However
she “finds the water too cold
here.” It should come as no sur
prise that this combination of
brains, vitality and vivaciousness
is the Cheer Leader of Kodiak
High School. She lists this posi
Miss Polly Perry
tion as her “main extra-curricular
activity” in school.
That Miss Polly is popular
among her contemporaries in her
varied activities outside of school
is quite evident, in that she is
President of the On-Base Teen
Club, and also s Past Worthy Ad
visor of the Kodiak Assembly of
Rainbow Girls.
This “Pretty Polly” will have
lived in Kodiak three years in
June, having come here from Cor
pus Cristi, Texas. She lives with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack R.
Perry, on the naval station where
her father is an aviation machin
ist mate.
The lovely and gracious-man
nered Miss Perry is not new to
the role of Queen Contestant, hav
ing been entered two years ago in
the Crab Festival contest where
she was runner-up. This year
she is being sponsored by the En
listed Men’s Club, the CPO Club,
the Officer’s Club and the Civilian
Club.
Ucense Required
For Clams-Smelt
A sport fishing license is re
quired for the sport digging of
razor clams and the recreational
dipping of smelt, according to a
news release prepared by the
Alaska Department of Fish and
Game in Juneau.
A single license is all that is
required for sport fishing in eith
er fresh or salt waters. The li
cense fees will remain the same
this year as they were in 1961.
The cost of a resident sport
fishing license is $5, non-resident
sport fishing license $10, and non
resident 10 day sport fishing per
mit $5.
Angling pressure on sport fish
has increased rapidly in the state.
The sale of 46.000 licenses in 1960
was upped to 55,000 in 1961. An
increasing proportion of these
sales each year are non-residents,
the department advised.

FnticKco &XAMMEK,
Did You Get Your
45 Lbs. Last Year?
Not counting marine mammals
and bears, the harvest of game
animals in Alaska contributed
about 12,000,000 pounds of meat
to the larders of Alaskans during
1961, according to the prelimin
ary 1961 hvarest figures released
this week by the Alaska Depart
ment of Fish and Game.
This amounts to a per capita
consumption of 45 pounds of big
game per year as contrasted to
the per capita consumption of
beef in the U.S. which is about
80 pounds per year.
Division Director Jim Brooks
pointed out that even with about
30,090 licensed hunters in the
state, “We are still falling short of
harvesting the annual reproduc
tive increment of several species.”
Some 30,000 caribou were taken
while 15,000 deer were bagged.
Moose were third in terms of num
bers taken by hunters, with 11,000
to 12,000 harvested. Other har
vests included an estimated 1,000
Dali sheep, 250 goats, 125 elk, 50
bison, 455 brown and grizzly bear,
156 polar bear, 1,100 black bear,
approximately 1,500 walrus, and
several thousand seals.
Smithfield, Rhode Island, police
have picked up a 15-year-old boy
whom they say is one of the brass
iest thieves they have ever en
countered. The boy is said to have
admitted sneaking into the police
station and stealing a money bag
rontainin f $853 from the safe.

from all areas of the state, including Eskimo Scout Battalions from
Nome and Bethel. The Military Air Transport Service facility at
