The Senior Ball was held that evening at the High School gym, both the Elks and Moose Clubs had open house and dances; there were a few informal private parties previous to the public danc There was nothing like the Good Old Days! In anticipation of an overflow | of exuberance in celebrants, addi- | tional men were put on night pa- trol by the police department, but not a single arrest was made dur- ing the night. An uncommonly sedate welcome the New Year re- ceived. On the morning of New Years Day, several people wondered if they’d perhaps celebrated more than they know, when they looked at their barometers. Some conclud- ed their barometers had broken; some thought their eyesight had 1ailed; others shuddered and await- ed a real snorter. The barometer had drepped to 27.99—the lowest reading ever seen by a Sitkan. Sure enough, the wind howled, making most people abandon their habit of making New Year's Day calls. A boom of logs broke loose from the mill, battered some of the construction on the new plane platform and spread itself from H to B—but the real, expected sncrter never materialized. wind reportedly reached 50 miles an hour in gusts, but did only minor damage and blew itself out before evening. There wasn’t even a change in the weather. Snow continued to fall; dry flufiy snow which sticks where it lands instead of melting and turning to slush in the usual manner. A wire received yesterday by friends of Dr. and Mrs. VanSandt, who flew to Mayo's Clinic in Ro- chester, Minn., recently stated Mrs. Van Sandt’s condition was not ser- jous and they would be returning shortly.
