Wendell Schneider, president of the class, gave numerous inter- esting statistics on the “Economics of Alaska.” “In 1785 the first school was started in Alaska,” stated Miss Katherine Torkelson, talking on “Education,” “and in 1841 the first step in higher education was taken with the establishment of a church school at Sitka,” the speaker added. Peter Warner, whose subject was “Juneau, Alaska,” told of the found- ing of this city in 1886 and the gradual growth of Juneau from an * insignificant mining town to a prosperous capital city with a popu- lation of approximately 7,000. In closing, Miss Lola LaPaugh told of the “Future of Alaska,” telling of Ril Mir- a toucnn or vrightness to the pic- turesque setting. the further development of Alas- ka's resources and the advantages Column 1: Kenneth Lea, Louise Hildre, Grant ter, Audrey Click, Don Wilcox, Ruth Richardson.

A trumpet solo, “My Own United States,” was expertly played by George Alexander, a member of the graduating class, and a quartet composed of four senior boys, Grant Ritter, Eckley Guerin, George Al- exander and George Baggen, pre- sented for the first time a song es- pecially written for the class of 39 by Ernest Ehler, “Farewell to Ju- neau High.” Senior Gift Presentation Wendell Schneider, President of the graduating class, presented a check to be used for any purpose to Tom Powers, newly elected Stu- dent Body President for next year, who accepted the gift on behalf of the Associated Student Body. The presentation of the class of 1939 was made by Superintendant A. B. Phillips, to Grover Winn, a member of the Schopl Board, who presented the thirty-one graduat- ing Seniors with their diplomas. With the High School Band play- ing a finale, “The Spartans,” the graduates left the stage to a stand- ing ovation from the huge audience present for the exercises. . ‘MIlDRED APLAND Mrs..
