Students Have Holiday,
Frontiersman Is Delayed
Next week’s holiday will mean
a two-day reprieve from lessons
for Palmer students, and a one
day publication postponement for
the Valley Frontiersman.
Since Thursday, which is
Thanksgiving Day, is the normal
publication date of the paper, it
will not appear until Friday next
week. The delay will make no
change in advertising and copy
deadlines, however, since the pa
per is always made up Wednes
day evening.
