HATS OFF TO THE C. C. C. BOYS
As one travels over the Moose Pass-Quartz Creek
road, which is almost ready for regular traffic, he begins
to recognize the value of the C C C, and appreciate the
youth who have accomplished this feat, states the Sew
ard Gateway in a recent editorial.
Three years ago it was an adventure to make a trip
from Cooper’s Landing to Moose Pass.
In addition to what it has offered to many young
men in Alaska who had no other means of employment,
the C C C has brought in some excellent young men
from the states. These have worked like Trojans in
delivering a full day’s work for the meagre pay of a
dollar a day and “found,” including clothing.
Many of these boys are seeking land or placer ground,
saving from their small wage and will, when the pro
ject is completed, launch out for themselves as real
frontiersmen.
Unlike many C C C camps in the States, it has not
been necessary to regiment the boys. They have main
tained the aspect of a big family on their own volition.
They are courteous, jolly and all apparently hold a per
spective beyond a day’s labor.
Circle Gold Output
100 Percent Above
1935 Stated Ulmer
(Continued From Page One)
“Hydraulicking has been car
ried on in the Circle camp since
the early day’s,” said Mr. Ulmer,
'*but it had its disadvantages in
that many seasons are dry. The
recent trend towards mechaniza
tion through employment of dred
ges, draglines and tractors is
bound to mean constantly increa
sing gold production.
■“After working during the ear
ly part of the season with bull
dozers, the Deadwood Mining Co.
bought a dragline and they have
torn up the old creek so a person
would scarcely recognize it.
Another Dragline
“Another dragline will be plac
ed in use in 1937 by the Porcu
pine Mining Company and with
the Berry dredge also working
you are going to see gold coming
out of Circle as it never has be
fore, even in the boom days of
Mastodon Creek.”
John E. Pegues, director in Al
aska for the Federal Housing Ad
ministration, has been visiting in
Fairbanks. Mr. Pegues said that
under a new setup loans for new
dwellings and business structures
and for the rehabilitation of old
buildings may be obtained on in
terest of 5 per cent per annum.
Construction and repairs, under
the new plan are receiving great
impetus in Southeastern Alaska.

5th and Cth Grades Give Party
Yesterday the fifth and sixth
grades had a surprise party on
their teacher, Miss Miller. De
licious refreshments prepared by
! the students were served, many!
games were played and Miss Mil!
ler was completely surprised. I
They tell me they had three gal-'
ons of ice cream and everyone had
three dishes, so I believe I’m safe I
in saying that everyone had a;
delightful time.
- j
Arrangemenst are being made'
i to offer a hobby class in wood- i
working to the boys of the Sev-1
i enth and Eighth grades and a I
j
preparatory class in home-making
to the girls of the Seventh and
Eighth grades. These classes will
probably begin in the near future.
- !
To Start On Play
The High School will soon
start work on a one-act play to be
given at the projected dedica
tion exercises which will take
place as soon as the gymnasium is
completed.
The High School will hold op-i
en house in order to give the
people of Nome an opportunity
to look over the new building
and both the Grades and the High
School will participate in a short
entertainment in the gym.
Sports Flash
The Sophomore and Junior
Boys are going to challenge the
seniors to a game of basketball
as soon as the gym is ready for
use.
.
Work on setting up the stage
scenery has been delayed, since
no instructions were received.
However, a handbook of instruc
tions is expected shortly and
work will soon proceed.
The student store, which sells i
supplies to the students, is install j
ed in its new room and is now
operating under the direction of
Rita O’Leary.
High School Party
Last Friday night at 8 P. M.,
more or less, the legions of the |
N. H. S., gathered in the gym of
the old school house for what
was to be their last party in the
historic building that had housed
thc-ir scholastic efforts for so many
years. ,
First on the program was the
major business of the evening—
the Freshman Initiation. Through
a dim corridor lighted only by
fluttering candles and peopled by
the shadowy forms of upper class
men, the trembling freshies were
led to their doom.
After floggings were administ
ered to chastise them for disob
ediences to their betters, and oth
er minor hardships were inflict
ed upon them, they were admitt
ed as full fledged members of the
High School. Many hilarious
games were played, thought-con
trol tricks were performed, and
Mr. Pool and Rita O’Leary en
tertained us with their so called
hypnotic powers. Delicious re
freshments were served and the
party was a huge success.
New Teacher Arrived
The new second grade teacher
has finally arrived. Miss Julia
Bouck, who has been working
at the Normal School at Belling
ham, Washington, for the past
few years, arrived on the S. S.
Victoria to take over her duties
as teacher of the second grade.
Always before the first and sec
ond grades have been handled by
one teacher, but this year’s en
rollment of about forty pupils
necessitated the employment of
another.
Says Miss Bouck: “I am sure
that I shall like Nome very much,
and will enjoy teaching in this
fine new building.”
Home Ec Class
Mrs. Bockman’s Home Econom
ic class has been busily engaged
in settling themselves in their
new quarters—washing their new
dishes and iooking equipment
and putting their equipment in
order.
They have made aprons, hot pot
holders, and dish towels for use
in class, and now are ready to be
gin some real -projects.
Manual Training Class
Mr. Kirkpatrick's manual train-1
ing class of eleven high school
boys has also been very busy
getting their new 'workshop in
order—checking over tools, mak
ing bench hooks to protect the
work bench while sawing, and,
putting wooden lips on vices.
They plan to supplement their
present equipment with a large
table for metal work and a siz
eable tool <^.binet, built by the
boys. Plans for these are drawn
up and work will start shortly.
New Books Received
A goody supply of new books, ;
sure to prove of interest to the
students, has been brought into
the library and is being catalog
ued as rapidly as possible.
A new atlas, a world almanac 1
and a book on photography and 1
fine arts are only a few of our
new reference books.
Highlights among the novels
and interesting non-fiction books
which are guaranteed to beguile
the minds of the students from
Physics, Geometry, or Short- :
hand are “Unveiled”, an auto
biography of new Turkey; “A
Tenderfoot with Peary”, north to
the pole with that Arctic ex
plorer; “Lone Cowboy”, by Will
James; "Safari”, with Martin
Johnson in the African wilds;
(incidently well illustrated with
authentic photographs.) “The
Trumpeter of Krakow”, and
“The Blacksmith of Vilno”, vivid
stories of Poland by Earl Kelly;
“The Cruise of the Cachalot”, an
enthralling tale of the life of the

Bounty”, a story of the sea and
the men that sailed it in the days
of the clipper ship.
