PALMER SCHOOL'S
ENROLLMENT TOPS
ESTIMATE BY ONE
The school term got off to a
good start at Palmer School this
week with the enrollment already
one over the estimated 538 and
more expected to enroll in the
next week. By Wednesday noon
■•all teachers had checked in but
Charles Ercegovich, the Science
teacher, who is still en route from
the states.
The fact that 54 freshmen
are using the gymnasium as
a homeroom shows how desper
ately the proposed new class
rooms are needed. Superintendent
Zahradnicek states that though
no contracts have yet been signed,
plans have been completed to go
ahead with the addition of two
extra classrooms and an unfin
ished basement. Probable recipi
ents of the contracts will be
George Bachner, carpentery and
concrete work, and Ray McCart
ney, plumbing and heating fix
tures.

Lillian Loberg
Wins Queen’s Crown
Wearing the purple robes of her
office, Miss Lillian Loberg was
crowned queen of the Matanuska
Valley Fair Saturday at the Cor
onation Ball. In addition to the
honor bestowed upon her, the
queen won for herself a $200
wardrobe, and for her sponsors,
the Northland Pioneer Grange,
$100 in cash.
Miss Loberg was chosen from
the group of five contestants by
the girls themelves and by a
board of three judges. A point
system was set up to determine
the result, with points being giv
en on the number of tickets sold
by each girl, on the decision of
the judges as to poise, beauty,
and personality, and finally, on
the vote of the other candidates.
The queen proved her right to
the title not only by the impres
sion she made on the judges, but
by her popularity with the other
girls.
Girls who served as princesses
in the royal court included Jean
Smith, Vivian Meier, “Punky”
Reed and Barbara Hecker.
