Seward Places 3rd In
Commercial Contest
Commercial students In the
Seward schools placed third in
the Territory-wide postal con
test in business subjects this
year. The contest, wnich ori
ginated with Mrs. Hazel Muir,
instructor in the Seward schools,
is in its third year and received
entries from every high school
except Anchorage and Palmer.
The local school took first
place yast year but lost to Ket
chikan with 36 points this year
and Juneau with 35. to Seward's
1953 score of 17. Fairbanks
scored only 4 this year; Sitka 2:
Valdez 1 and V6 for Kodiak and
Petersburg.
The contest is scored by in
dividual and team papers, so
that a single paper may score
highest but lower scores by the
team may decrease the total
mark. Thus, in Shorthand I. Mae
Vinberg with a score of 99
placed sixth in the series, but
the Seward team placed third.
Shorthand II, Audrey Denton
placed first with a score of 23.8.
no team scores in this series.
Two Seward girls placed fifth
and eighth in the bookkeeping
contest. Carol Ann Trevethan
made 133 and Audrey Denton.
130. Ketchikan made a total of
135 to take the series.
In Typing I, Seward placed
eighth and thirteenth, with Ju
neau taking the top place. In
the one minute dash, Seward
placed sixth, individually, and
fourth as a team.
Percentage of accuracy on in
dividual papers, Shirley Horton
of Seward took first place with
a score of 96.8. Janice Frampton
and Ava Doyle also placed, mak
ing the Seward team second
with a score of 91.2. This series
went to Juneau.
In Typing II, the Seward team
placed third in two series and
first in one, bringing the total
contest score to Ketchikan, Ju
neau, Seward, in that order.
School enrollment' makes the
contest uneveif, since Soldovia
with only 8 students is contest
ing against Fairbanks with an
enrollment of 332, Ketchikan
with 264, Juneau with 251. and
Seward with 105. Plans are
being made now to give the
smaller schools a more equal
chance in future contests. In ad
dition to territorial schools en
tering the postal contest, the
service schools of Eielsen, Adak
and Kodiak Navy also entered
this year.
