STRANGE

Europe is very cheap. How
cheap? When the writer was a
steward on the Holland Am

bringing emigrants to the USA
for $10 a head . . . accommoda

better.

of the best I have ever seen.
In fact, it is the only such sum
mary by a student delegate
that has ever been sent to this
office. I am so pleased with it
and with the use you people
made of it that I am going to
mention it this spring in one of
the publications. It seems to me
that this is an excellent way
for conference delegates to
make reports on what they ex
perienced.”
Mary also received a very
nice letter from the superin
tendent of Fairbanks schools
concerning the summary she
made.
Carol Mamed Queen
On January 6, Carol Wilson
was named Sport’s Queen dur
ing half time of the Palmer
Kodiak varsity game. Carol
was chosen from 13 other con
testants.
Harry Hartung presented
Queen Carol with a dozen long
stemmed red roses after she
was presented with her crown
and red velvet cape.
Linda McNally won the $10
cash prize after Carol drew
six raffle tickets from the box.
Queen Carol’s speech was
short but sincere. She said, “I
would like to thank the junior
class for sponsoring me and
the people who bought all the
tickets.”
Queen Carol was wearing a
yellow sheath dress set off by
black gloves and high heels.
The Pep Club sponsored the
dance following the game in
honor of the queen and her
contestants.
Carol drew Norm Johnson’s
winning ticket for the door
prize. He was presented a stuf
fed grey donkey that he gave
to Sandy Profit, a queen candi
date, but who was unable to
attend because of measles.
During interview Carol said.
“I was excited, nervous, and
shocked. This is an event I will
long remember.”
