It*s A Lesson—
‘The Perfect House9
Future home-builders and
home-makers are cooperating to
work out plans for an ideal
house at Palmer high school.
The project is a combined as
signment for advanced shop and
advanced domestic science stu
dents.
The idea began with the girls,
who visited the home of Mrs. J.
K. Dunlap early in the term.
This home, formerly owned by
Paul Stringfield, was one of the
first houses built in the Valley.
After their inspection tour, the
girls drew scale plans of the
structure as it stands today.
Then, they dreamed over it for
a time, and drew a second set
of plans, this time showing the
house as they would like to
have it built.
Girls Furnish It
From magazines and catalogs
the students selected furniture,
plans for cupboards and closets
and all home accessories.
The girls drew their plans
with an eye on a step-saving
kitchen, an ecpnomical use' of
all space in the floor plan, and
completed the project with sug
gestions on how to lay out the
grounds around this ideal home.
All the ideas were summed up
in a practical home-planning
notebook kept by each student.
Once the girls had changed
their minds for the last time
about windows and doors, and j

Huntley Kids
Thumb A Ride
On Streamliner
• Their first train ride was a
historic one for Margie and
Laddie Huntley last week. The_
two hitched a ride on the new
streamliner (with permission), j
for the quickest trip to Anch-;
orage ever made by train.
They had dinner in town,
caught a bus back to the Val
ley, and were at home by 8
o’clock that evening. In typical
Alaskan fashion, the Huntley
pair are several week’s veterans
of air travel, for they flew over
the Valley earlier this summer.
where the sink ought to be, the^
boys of the shop course took
over.
Boys Wire
The masculine part of the
home-planning job was wiring
and lighting. The boys studied
sizes of wire, wiring materials,
number and-kinds of outlets and
switches, circuit breakers, etc.
The boys’ project didn’t stop
with the house, either. They
also looked into good lighting
for barns, garages and chicken
houses.
Once the boys have learned
which wares to twist together,
and which are better left alone,
they will plan wiring and light
ing for the houses designed by
the girls. They will work out
their project from two angles—
learning how to wrire a new
house and how to improve wir
ing in a remodelled home.
Harry Wimmer, shop instruc
tor, and Miss Lois Winegarner,
home economics teacher, are
helping students plan the ideal
home.
Report Cards Are

in Palmer school ended last Fri

and report cards will be isued
