HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT IS
ALSO LARGER THAN THAT
OF LAST YEAR
(By Mrs. J. C. Green)
With the gay chattering of boys
and girls, bright-colored school
frocks and suits much in evidence,
and all the paraphernalia of books,
tablets, and pencils, school was
opened yesterday at the new school
on the north side of town.
A total of 117 pupils are enrolled
for this year’s course and the
groups are divided as follows: -23
pupils are enrolled in the first and
second grades; 21 in the third and
fourth grades; 15 in the fifth and
sixth; and 24 in the seventh and
eighth grades. High school stu
dents number 34.
Mr. Eoaney, superintendent has
a capable staff of six lady teachers
and one man teacher, who will be
in charge of the education of the
young Sewardits for higher grades
for the coming year.
The school looked and smelled
mighty new and clean for the op
ening yesterday, and it was a
pleasure to walk down the broad
hall ways, gaze into the large, airy
rooms, and to see all of the pre
parations that the citizens of Sew
ard have made for education, amid
pleasant and new surroundings.
An unusually attractive group of
teachers comprise the staff this
year, and from the states of Wis
consin, Missouri, Oregon, Nebraska
and Washington they come, to
make Seward their home for the
school year. Keen, alert and highly
intelligent, they are a staff which
any town might consider itself
fortunate to have to serve it.
Superintendent Roaney was very
busy yesterday afternoon. He was
in the midst of a teacher’s meeting,
and the writer had to wait until
the many problems incident to the
opening day of school, had been
thrashed out by the mentors. Mr.
Roaney stated, “Of course all Sew
ard knows howr pleased I am with
the city. It is a wide awake place,
and I am proud to represent it as
its school superintendent”. Mr. and
Mrs. Roaney, who formerly resided
at Ketchikan, have taken an apart
ment at the Arcade.
Miss Verna Wheeler, who has the
third and fourth grades, is well
known in Seward, as this is her
third year teaching here. “Like it?”,
she laughed. “Well, it certainly
looks like I’m crazy about Seward,
or I wouldn’t keep coming back for
more." Miss Wheeler has taken a

room at the Arcade where she will
live during the school term.
Miss Louise Sears, who is the
! teacher of the fifth and sixth
(grades, is a newcomer to the e
parts; this being the first time she
has ever been in Alaska. Miss
Sears is from Bend, Ore., and states,
“Why I am charmed with Seward,
its people, its mountains and every
thing.” Miss Sears has a room over
Gordon’s.
Miss Catherine Faust, who is the
commercial teacher, and who will
hold forth on the intricacies of
shorthand, typing and bookkeep
ing, and hails from Portland, Ore.
Miss Faust is a short little brown
haired girl, who looks quite young
to know so much. “Oh I haven’t
been here long enough to know yet
how I’ll like Seward and this vicin
ity. but from what I’ve seen thus
far, I’m very favorable impressed.”
Miss Faust will lodge with Mr. and
Mrs. Jack McCord.
Mrs. Lou Ena Anderson, who
teaches Latin and English in high
school, is now permanently resid
ing here. Her husband, Captain
Anderson, is master of the S. S.
Starr, and since he sails Westward
from here, with Seward as home
port, they have decided to make
this their home. Mrs. Anderson,
who is from Seattle, has been in
Seward since May. “I’m so glad I
have the opportunity of teaching
here,” Mrs. Anderson stated. “As
teaching has always been a great
pleasure to me. and I know that I
shall greatly enjoy my term of
teaching the Seward high school
