Hawaiian Banquet
And Prom Close
With Seniors’ Aloha
Palmer High School’s graduat
ing Seniors were guest of the
Juniors at a Hawaiian Banquet
and Prom Saturday night.
The Hawaiian theme was car-1
ried out in the programs, the
after dinner speeches, the decor
ations, and the individual paper
leis given to everyone as favors.
The menu, consisting of tropical
shrimp cocktail, Island pork,
golden dreams, diced bamboo,
taro cake, lilikai, mango ice
cream sundae, and a tropical
frosted drink was prepared and
served in the St. John’s Luther
an Church basement.
The Grand March of the
Juniors and Seniors to the stage
of the Palmer School gymnasium
marked the opening of the Prom.
There on the stage, which had
been transformed into a Hawaiian
paradise of lilting palm trees and
huge tropical flowers, the Juniors
chose the Prom king and queen
from the Senior Class. King Er
nest Marth and Queen Rita Me
Clafferty were “crowned” with
fresh orchid leis that had been
flown directly from Hawaii for
the occasion. Similar leis were
given to the two class advisors,
Mrs, Margaret Cope and Mrs.
Dorothy Wofford.
Following their ‘^coronation,”
the king and queen led the Jun
iors and Seniors in the first dance
of the evening. The music came
from a small tropical island set
like a jewel in the western end
of the gymnasium sea. Tall palm
trees fringed the edge of the sea
and overhead was a dark blue j

PASSING SCHOOL BUS
UNLOADING CHILDREN
Dave Algarin was fined $35 in
City Magistrate’s Court Tuesday
morning after pleading guilty to
a charge of passing a school bus
while unloading of children was
in process.
Algarin was picked up by Po
lice Chief Bernie Bouwens, who
witnessed the offense Monday
about one-fourth mile east of
the railroad tracks on the high
way.
After hearing Section 40 of the
Alaska Traffic Laws (p. 55) read
to him, Algarin pleaded guilty
but professed ignorance .of the
existance of this law.
Although school buses will
not be transporting children for
three and one-half months after
this week, both the City Magis
trate and the local U. S. Com
missioner warn all motorists to
familarize themselves with this
section of the law as the school
children must be protected.
Penalities for violation of this
section of the act are quite se
vere; the law provides for a
maximum fine of $200 and 90
days in jail.
