YEAR END ACTIVITIES

Public Schools
Literature and Rules of The
National Poppy Poster Contest,
sponsored by the American Le
gion Auxiliary, has been dis
tributed among the Seward
school children the past week.
The national prize of $100 will
be awarded for the best poster
in eaoh of three classes. The
local prize of $25.00 will be
awarded for the best poster in
each of the same following
classes:
1st class—4th, 5th, 6th grades.
2nd class—7th, 8th, and 9th
grades.
3rd class—10th, 11th, and 12th
grades.
The winning posters will be
sent to the Territorial contest
and the final winners will be
sent to Indianapolis, Internatioal
American Legion Headquarters.
Mr. Harrell, photographer,
took group pictures of the grades
on Wednesday morning. Due to
inclement weather, the results
were not favorable and the pic
tures will be taken again the
first clear day.
Merit System examinations
were given to all commercial
seniors on Tuesday by Mrs.
Hazel Muir, teacher of business
subjects. These tests will deter
mine the standing that the sen
iors of this school have in com
parison with other schools using
the same merit test. The scores
are kept on file in Juneau and
if a Territorial agency needs
someone to work in the place
that the student has specified, he
or she is notified.
A student body assembly was
held on Monday to elect a candi
date for the American Legion
Citizenship cup award, winner
to be announced at Commence
ment exercises on May 26, at 8
p.m. in the high school.
The school library will close
May 19 for the 1953-54 school
year. Miss Lind asks that all
books and fines be paid on or
before that date.
MUSIC CLASSES CLOSE
All Instrumental classes under
the direction of Mr. Claude Berg,
Music Supervisor at the Seward
Public School, closed May 6.
During the past year class in
struction on orchestral and band
instruments has been given at
the Seward School. Interested
pupils from the fourth grade
through high school have had an
opportunity to get started on
the instrument of their choice
without charge. It has been felt
that such a program is necessary
in order to recruit new players
for the school band and orches
tra. This year a shortage of ade
quately prepared trumpet play
ers made it impossible to con
tinue the band that was started
at the beginning of the year. We
hope next year to have both an
orohesra and a uniformed band.
The school owns a number of
musical instruments which have
been used by pupils free of
charge. Since each instrument
is used by a number of pupils,
it is impossible to allow any in
strument to be taken home for
practice. Individual mouthpieces
are assigned for reed instru
ments, and the metal mouth
pieces of the brass instruments
are kept in a germicidal solu
tion when not in use.
It is hoped that pupils who get
a start in the school music class
es will continue with private
lessons whenever it is possible.
The purpose of free music in
struction in the school is not to
compete with private teachers,
but rather awaken interest and
promote candidates for individu
al instruction. Class instruction
of the type we are able to give
at Seward Public School can
only give the pupil a start. The
rest is up to him. At present
there is an urgent need for a
private music teacher who can
give instruction on woodwind,
brass and percussion instru
ments.
The School Board met this
week to work on the budget for
the coming year.
