The only exercise some people

Piano Fund Concert
Well Received
The estimated 135 to 150 per
sons who attended the Winter
Concert Committee piano fund
concert Wednesday night seem
ed to enjoy themselves and the
music fully.
Paul McMullen’s songs were
well chosen and rendered with
a lack of ostentation that was
very becoming. He seemed
slightly nervous at the begin
ning of the program but relax
ed toward the end showing more
feeling than in the more diffi
cult numbers.
Mary Clements brought the
house down with her rendition
of the “Bumble Boogie” as an
encore.
Margaret Lee with the harp
left everybody begging for more.
She had the entire audience sit
ting with practically suspended
breath, listening to her beauti
ful, beautiful music. Hasselman’s
“Priere” was, as she said, “music
for the soul.” It was written for
the harp, and Mrs. Lee played
it with great feeling, leaving all
her listeners of the prayer being
offered through those magic
strings.
Rev. Malin, who acted as spur
of the moment master of cere
monies, announced that the piano
fund is growing rapidly, and the
“committee can now buy two
white keys and one black one.”
Coffee was served informally
during the intermission.
SPECIAL MEETINGS AT
FAITH CHAPEL
Special Gospel meetings are to
be held at Faith Chapel Aug
ust 18 and 19. The Gospel Team
conducting these meetings is
from Bob Jones University,
Greenville, South Carolina. This
institution stands without apol
ogy for the old-time religion and
absolute authority of the Bible.
It believes in the standards of
decency and integrity taught in
this Book. The University has a
beautiful new campus with up
to-date buildings and equipment.
It believes in sane and reason
able modern methods of educa
tion. The young people who are
trained there are witnesses to
eternal and unchanging truth
and the old-fashioned Gospel in
this modern age.
The Gospel Team consists of
LeRoy Leland. Richard Snavely
and Warren Lenderman, who
are students from the Univer
sity. These young men are con
ducting meetings in many parts
of Alaska during the summer
months.
All arc welcome to attend the
meetings and hear these talent
ed men while they are in Sew
ard.
Never judge anyone without
all the facts—remember it's the
forger who gives a check a bad
name.

Story of Seward
(Continued from Page 1)
According to Judge Whittle
sy's account, school opened on
February 26 and closed on Au
gust 26, quite reverse of the
present school season. We do not
know the reason for holding
school through the summer, as
those dates would indicate.
There is a record of a new
school board election on Septem
ber 21, 1906, with the success
ful candidates being F. G. Hale,
Reverend L. H. Pederson and E
G. Gray. A new school census
taken in 1906 showed 44 fami
lies, 92 children. The board ask
ed for, and received, the sum of
$5250 from the Territory. The
dates are rather confusing, since
the next term did not open un
til February 1, 1907.
For the 1907 term of school,
a principal was appointed, Mrs.
J. J. McManus, who drew the
very handsome salary of SI25
per month. Miss Aris Tillet, the
primary teacher in 1907, had to
get along on a salary of $85 per
month.
The same school board served
during the year 1908. Serving
as teachers then were Miss Anna
Keraska (later Mrs. Leopold
David), Miss Katherine Lewis,
and Mrs. Winter.
We'll leave the later story of
Seward's schools for another
chapter, and close with the re
mark that Seward, unlike the
early gold camps of Alaska, was
from the very first a city of
homes, families, and children.
Providing educational facilities
for Seward's children was one of
the first problems of the little
town. It's a big problem in 1951,
too.
