611 Students
Enrolled First Day
At Aome Schools
There were 641 students attend
ing classes in grades one through
! high school as school opened Tues
I day. Enrollment for elmentary
i grades 1 through 6 was 404. Junior
; High grades 7 and 8 enrolled 110.
I High School enrollment for grades
9 through 12 was 127.
A few more students are expect
ed to enroll this week and all of
those who have not registered
should do so as soon as possible.
Elementaly school is down from
last year's initial attendance, but
high school and junior high stu
dents are above last year’s en
rollment.
The Nome Schools are operating
this year with a smaller teaching
and custodial staff than last. All
grades are on regular shift 9 til 12
and 1 to 4 except the first and
second grades and one section of
the third grade.
Students and faculty members
were taking in stride the incon
veniences of not having the two
new additional rooms completed
for the high school and the paint
ing of the interior of the old sec
tion of the school is still under
way. It is hoped that the construc
tion and painting will be com
pleted this week so that students
may find their way through corri
dors and rooms without the ob
stacles of paint buckets, lumber
and other building materials.
The high school schedule had to
be altered at the last moment be
cause the two rooms were not
completed.
Additional courses are being of
fered this year to broaden the
curriculum of high school students.
It is believed that a shop course
will be opened this week and
classes in the new program of
Distributive Education are being
offered for the first time.
A complete faculty and staff was
on hand for the opening day of
the school term.
WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY . . .

the road, overturned and was al
most completely demolished.
Released from the hospital yes
terday were Charles Dickson, the
driver, and Percy Outwater, both
with lacerations. Still in the hos
pital is Bill Nuipok.
Dickson and Outwater were
brought to the town by a passing
car driven by Mrs. Hannah Miller
and the ambulance was called to
bring in Nuipok, who was uncon
scious. Nuipok suffered lacerations
on his face and is reported to have
a broken leg.
Dickson told the police that he
was driving about 50 miles an hour
when the car hit a rock, causing
him to lose control.

Board of Equalization
Will Hold Additional
Hearings Sept. 19-20
The Nome City Council con
cluded its three-day Board of
Equalization meetings on Friday
following a three hour session with
local property owners all of whom
followed the pattern set during
the two previous meetings, namely
that the re-evaluation of property
was set much too high and beyond
present market value.
Each of the three evenings the
City Hall was filled with residents
seeking to find out why many old
buildings were classified the way
they were.
Mr. Chitty, licensed assessor, who
did the work for the city was very
patient in his explanations of how
he reached these values placed on
homes and businesses.
In order that all taxpayers may
have an opportunity to come be
fore the Board of Equalization, and
as many of them are out of town,
two more evenings were announced
that the board will have hearings
and these are Sept. 19-20.

Projects for Coming Year
The Home Arts Club held its
first meeting of the year at the
Cape Nome home of Mrs. Pete
Hahn last evening and outlined
the several civic projects they
will be working on this year.
The club’s first civic action was
to appropriate the necessary funds
to supply one of the basketball
backboards and basket for the
Armory.
Members also made plans to
continue the canning of local ber
ries which are on sale in the Bflli
kin Gift Srop and Polet’s Store
and which are proving popular as
tourist items and are in demand
as Christmas gifts.
The berries are packed under
the Home Arts Club labels in four
styles: Cranberry Sauce, Cran
berry Jelly, Blueberry Jam and
Blueberry Jelly. All profits from
the sale go to local projects as
well as to stimulate an interest in
a small industry.
