Chamber Luncheon
The noon luncheon of the
Chamber of Commerce opened
yesterday with the Senior Girl
Scout Troop presenting colors
and leading the pledge of al
legiance, after which the retiring
leader Joanne Conklin announced
her immediate departure for An
chorage where her husband has
been transferred and the taking
over of her post by Mrs. David
Money and Mrs. E. Knight. Presi
dent of the Girl Scout Troop,
Alice Arnold, gave a run down
on the activities of the troop dur
ing the past month which in
cluded sending home-made candy
and cakes to remote sites such as
Lisbourne and Port Clarence.
The girls also made the Christ
mas season merry with their
home-made wreaths of White
Mountain spruce.
Judge Hubert Gilbert was wel
comed back for a few days after
which he will assist in the An
chorage court returning here in
February. He reports his wife
much improved.
The village of Shaktoolik, in
response to a letter from the
Chamber on Area Redevolpment,
signified their willingness to co
operate on a project which would
benefit Northwestern Alaska.
Plans were announced to be
in the making for the annual
Chamber of Commerce dinner to
be held late this month, at which
time new directors and new of
ficers will be named.
Sen. Pearse Walsh brought to
the attention of the Chamber the
fact that some of Nome’s resi
dents made two and three flights
by jet from Seattle this past week
trying to get to Nome and each
time the planes were unable tc
land at either Fairbanks or An
chorage. He recommended tha
the Chamber take action and urge
that Nome be made an alternate
field as the planes could have
I-nded here and the need of such
a field in an emergency is vital.
He pointed out that not only for
commercial, but for defense pur
•"* >ses the runways should be ex
tended.
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Glass, who
spent the Christmas holiday with
their daughter and family in Seat
tle, covered about 8,000 miles by

were on one of the jets which

Nome High School
“Fully Approved”
Conrad Potter, Nome School
Superintendent, announced that
word was received this week from
the Alaska Committee of the
Northwest Accrediting Assn., that
Nome High School has been
“fully approved.”
The letter also stated:
“The State Committee wishes
to commend the Nome High
School for the low indices of
teacher turnover and for the ex
cellence of their staff and pro
gram.”
Following is a recap of the |
status of Alaskan schools ac
credited by the Northwest As
sociation for the school year
1961-62:
New schools (approved pro
visionally) 1;
Provisionally approved 1;
Fully approved 15;
Advised schools 4;
Warned schools 0;
Applications of new schools re
jected 0.
Potter also pointed out that
Nome’s high school was one of
the few in the state which has
been “fully approved” since its
first accreditation in 1935, and
this was the second year in suc
cession that the high school teach
ing staff had been commended
for their excellence. Specific
teachers were singled out last
year and the school commended
for their excellent preparation and
experience.
All of the Nome High staff are
fully certified, d e g r e e-holding
teachers, teaching in their major
fields.
Of the total Nome teaching staff,
i including the elementary, the
school boast three masters’ de
grees, 28 bachelor degrees, and
two 3-year certificates, wjhich,
according to Potter, makes it one
of the best qualified teaching
staffs in the state, for a district
of its size.
