PHS Students
Begin Plans
For Year's Fun
With class schedules settled
and all students back into men
tal harness again, thoughts are
beginning to turn toward the
lighter side of a school year at
Palmer School today. Already
classes have elected their repre
sentatives to the student council,
and the first school social of the
year is tentatively scheduled for
tomorrow.
Although officers of the stu
dent council have not yet been
named, and won’t be until after
a planned caucus and campaign,
the preliminary plan for school
recreation calls for dances and
parties to be held during the ac
tivity period on selected Fridays
of the school month.
Regular basketball practice
will not begin until after Oct. 1,
Coach Robert Crites has an
nounced. For the next few days
of outdoor fall weather, students
will participate in an intra-mu
ral track and softball program.
Meanwhile, faculty advisers
already have been named for the
year. These instructors will have
charge of recreation plans of
high school and junior high

Chamber Asks For
Added Marshall
Although attendance at last
week’s Chamber of Commerce
luncheon was far too sparse to
permit conducting any regular
business, one resolution was en
tered on the record. M. D. Snod
grass asked that the Chamber
back a move to secure the ap
pointment of a second deputy
marshall in the Valley, probably
to serve at night.
If a second deputy could be
added, the Valley then would be
able to depend on full-time po
lice protection, he pointed out.
At present, when deputy mar
shall Bill Bouwens is called to
other spots in Alaska, the Valley
goes without protection for long
periods of time.

Ski Tow, Built Lost Year,
May Be Installed Soon
A preliminary discussion of
plans to install a ski tow above
the Little Susitna Lodge occu
pied most of the business meet
ing of the Matanuska Sportsmen
last week. No final arrangements
were completed, but it was voted
to discuss the plan for a tow with
Robert Crites, high school coach
to determine if there is interest
in skiing among high school
students.
There was a general discus
sion of plans for the coming an
nual game dinner. Club members
voted that the following persons
be asked to attend as guests of
the Matanuska Valley Sports
men:
Mr. and Mrs. William T. Zah
radnicek, Mr. and Mrs. Holger
Larsen, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Reeves
and Mr. and Mrs. Haakon Chris
tensen.
Bill Smith asked for club plans
concerning the opening of the
indoor range beneath the Rec
Hall. Plans for the winter’s
shooting at the range were ta
bled until the Monday board
meeting.
No Potato Vacation
There will be no potato har
vest vacation for students of
Palmer School this year, it has
been ruled by members of the
school board. Children who
bring a written request from
parents, and who come to a
definite understanding with
their instructors regarding
make-up projects, may get an
excused absence for the harvest
period. However each student
must make his own arrange
ments with instructors, and
there is no general rule for
everyone, it was stated.
