YOUNG FOLKS DANCE
AT FAREWELL PARTY
A farewell party, arranged by
Mrs. Malcolm E. Smith in honor of
Miss Betty Foster, who will leave
Xenana for the States on the steam
er Yukon, was greatly enjoyed by
the many friends of the popular
young lady last night, the affair
being held in the Bowen building, in
the quarters formerly occupied by
the Xenana club. The attendance
was restricted to the members of
the younger set—the associates of
the guest of honor—-and to the
chaperones.
Dancing occupied the young folks
during the greater part of the eve
rung, and the party was a huge suc
cess from every standpoint. Light
refreshments were served during the
evening.
Miss Foster will make the trip
Outside, accompanied by Mrs. Fos
ter, Dick and Baby Foster, it being
their intention to spend the winter
along the Pacific coast. They will
be in Seattle part of the time, but
probably will spend the greater part
of the winter in Southern Califor
nia, where the oranges bloom at
Christmas time.
Judge Charles E. Bunnell was in
Xenana yesterday, on his way back
to Fairbanks from the lower river,
where he was occupied with court
matters during the greater part of
the summer. He made the trip up
river on the mail launch Sibilla.

MAKING PUNS
FOR NEW YEAR
Members of the Nenana school
board have their hands full these
days getting things in shape for the
commencement of the 1919-1920
school year, which will start on
September 15. A meeting of the
board was held this week for the
purpose of starting the work going,
and the members will find their
time well occupied until after school
has started and the annual tax has
been levied and collected.
J. H. Day, who was employed by
the board as janitor last term, has
been re-engaged and will assume
his duties on the first of September,
so as to have the building in readi
ness for the opening of school two
weeks later.
The two teachers who rendered
such efficient service last term—
Miss Luella Shaffer, as principal,
and Mrs. M. A. Schaeffer, as teach
er of the lower grades—were re
employed some time ago, and are
ready to take up their work again
in the schoolroom.
The work of levying the annual
school assessment and collecting the
taxes has been turned over to Carl
Schmidt, who became a member of
the board at the last regular elec
tion. He will begin immediately the
work of preparing the assessment
roll.
Another matter that has occupied
the attention of the board members
is the special election which has
been called for September 8, for the
purpose of filling the vacancy on
the board caused by the resignation
of George W. Pennington. The
names of candidates for the place
must be filed with the clerk of the
board not later than next Friday.
