Cougars Go South The Cougars are expected to land in Los Angeles Friday morning. They'll come in with a troupe of seasoned campaigners headed by veteran forward Ed Gayda, one of the top scorers in the conference. During his collegiate career, Gayda has piled up 643 points—just one short of the northern division record. Big Ed managed to pot only 15 points last Saturday as the Cougars succumbed to Idaho, 50 to 45, in three overtime periods.

Ryan,| commissioner of education and act- ing chairman of the drive. This sum amounts to almost 25 cents per pupil, which to them is| more than a $10 bill to many. | The Rev. Robert L. Whelan, 8.7, | pastor of the Catholic Parish, said | the amount was raised by free con- tributions from all. The amount is the first to come in from a general school donation in the city. Accompanying the check was a letter addressed to Dr. Ryar, as follows: “Our class in Civics for the past two weeks has atly enjoyed the study of the various welfare agen- | ¢ies in our community. Particular emphasis was brought to bear upon our present city library project. In response to an enlightening talk by Father Whelan on the subject our school has collected a small donation toward the public library “We realize that as good citizens we should do our part in helping make this project a reality. It will be an asset to our city, to be en- joyed by us children as weill as by The leiter was signed by Yvonne Poole, 8th grader, on behalf of the children of St. Ann’s School. Dr. Ryan expressed gratitude to the children for their thoughtful- ness in raising the money. “The sum they have raised is not great, of course,” he said, “but it is great to them. Their donation, if multiplied by others like it, would soon cause the remaining amount to be raised—less than $9,000—to drop slowly but surely.” HOSPITAL NOTES Paul Nannauck and Mrs. Rich- ard Congdon were admitted to St. Ann’s hospital over the weekend. Warren Hager, William Crist, Will C. Carter, and Mrs. Joseph A. Wil- liams were dismissed. Sadie White of Hoonah was ad- mitted to the Government hospital. NOW!
