Wasilla Parents
Take a Lesson
On Teacher’s Job
WASILLA—P arents were
given a peek at the skeleton of
a school’s program, when they
participated in Parent’s Night at
school at the November P-TA
meeting last week. Parents were
conducted through classrooms of
the Wasilla school, where teach
ers outlined for them the gener
al aims and objectives of a year’s
work.
Some teachers prepared de
monstration lessons and gave a
detailed outline of what is ex
pected of the child in his nine
months at school.
Following that portion of the
P-TA evening, the group met to
gether in a business session to
elect officers for the term. Mrs.
Vannie Courtney was named
P-TA chairman, to succeed Mrs.
May Carter.
Tentative plans for the P-TA
sponsored Christmas program
were discussed. Mrs. J. M.
Bryant was named Christmas
program chairman.
Union with the National Con
gress of the Parent-Teacher’s
Association was discussed, but
no action was taken, pending
the arrival of further informa
tion and materials from the na
tional organization.
The meeting closed with a
potluck supper. Next meeting of
the P-TA is scheduled for Thurs
day, Dec. 4.
Basketball Games
Ended For Girls
Inter-school basketball com
petition for girls has been dis
continued at Palmer high school,
principal James Gray, Jr., an
nounced this week. Mr. Gray said
it was impossible to schedule
games with other Alaskan
schools, none of whom have
girls’ teams except Cordova.
A school rule barring teams
from flying prevents Cordova
games. That school is also being
dropped from the boys’ schedule
this year.
As a substitute for inter
school games, Mr. Gray is work
ing out plans for an intramural
tournament in the high school.
Each class will enter a team in
the tournament. The school is
attempting to interest a down
town sponsor in offering a trophy
for the winning team.
It is possible that numerals
will be awarded girls who play
a required number of quarters.
These numerals will entitle girl6
to membership in the Palmer
Athletic Association, if tentative
plans are carried out.

who also have a 15 months old
boy. Mr. Brown is manager ot
the Valley Cleaners.

PHS IN EASY WIN
OVER ARMY FIVE
Despite the loss of two first
string regulars, Palmer’s basket
ball kids had an easy time in
their game against the men of
the 99th Machine Record Units
last Friday evening. The high
school squad had the Army men
stopped cold, 19-0 score at half
time.
The local boys won as they
pleased, and Coach L. K. Gibson
used the game to give valuable
playing experience to the sub
stitutes on his squad. Plum^ey,
Miller, Huntley and Park all
played a part of the game.
Lynn Sandvik, making his
first start in a high school bas
ketball game, displayed a flashy
court game that did much to
offset his lack of inches. Lynn
made four field goals.
The Army five, who have had
only two weeks practice at the
Post, stood badly in need of that
practice. Equally weak on both
defense and offense, they failed
repeatedly to score on long shots.
Friday was their first appear
ance on a regulation court, for
they have been conducting their
Post practice sessions in a Quon
set hut.
Palmer’s next game is a con
ference bout with Anchorage
high school next Friday evening.
That game will be played in
Anchorage.
The local squad will be sorely
handicapped in that game by the
loss of Jim Gleason and Earl
Onkka, both of whom are out
for the season. Gleason was
benched by doctor’s orders,
while Onkka underwent an em
ergency appendectomy at the
Valley hospital last Thursday.
