The above faculty has been selected
with a great deal of care and pains.
Most of them are old teachers and
have made good. The new ones come
highly recommended and are thor
oughly qualified to give to the school
the very highest type of instruction.
1t is to be hoped that they will be
given the hearty support and coop
Grafton of all patrons of the school.
By SO doing, the high standards now
obtained by careful supervision and
work will be maintained, and great
good will result to all the commun-
ity.
The present school board compos-
ed of J. r. Barnette, Pres, VIM. Car
penter, Clerk, and Floyd Kellis, are
wide awake and enthusiastic to make

They give their time free (and this
is no small consideration and are
open to any suggestions that will
mean progress for the school, but
feel reluctant to give their time to
any destructive suggestions or plans
These men realize that an up-tO-date
school of today is as much different
as there is in an automobile of today
and the OK cart of decade gone by
or any other modern production or

For the cold was too unkind
They could not pause for bit of
sleep
All, death followed close behind.
Wee dots on the silver sheet of snow,
They hurried from place to place,
Each dog with steady, silent lope-
Each driver with stern, set face!
To lose the way? 1t meant certain
death
For many, not only one!
1t meant the failure to do task,
And a great deed left undone.
1t meant that the plague would sweep
like flame,
That city's soul would burn,
And that many would take the last
white trail,
From which there is no return :.
Through light and dark, through bit
ing wind,
There were nine who met and
passed,
Brave men of the North whose names
will die,
But whose gallant deed will last,
The hours swept-like the mighty
waves,
On a beating, throbbing strand
While on in Nome, with life's hour
glass,
Death counted the slipping sand!
The task grew greater, the chill more
fierce,
But the sled with it's precious
freight,
Was hurried on through the icy land,
For it would not-could not-wait! !
And the dogs raced on to the vicious
tune
Of the swapping wind and ice,
And paid, with their frozen, gasping
lungs,
For a mighty sacrifice.
They were hungry, these dogs, for
they could not stop
But the northern dogs are brave,
And I think that they guessed, in
their numbing brains,
That they raced with death to save
The lives of many-T think they
guessed,
And think they did not whine,
But pulled along, through the cutting
snow,
In a breathIess, flashing line.
1t was Gunnar Kasson who won the
race
With a thrilling double test
He made two laps at the very last,
With a gallantry unguessed.
He missed the man who would take
from him
Tho drnO ON tho 1ift10 c1o6
For the storm had grown to blind
ing thing
And no one could see ahead!
The man who missed him, who lost
his way?
We think of his grim despair,
At knowing that Kasson would keep
the tryst,
And would fail to find him there
At knowing that Kasson, tired man.
Arizona state miner., 1925-07-11
THE SAVING OF NOME!

Would have fifty miles to do
Before the last of the race was won,
And the sled was carried through.
For Kasson was tired, his dogs were
worm
And the blizzard swept the land,
And there were moments of utter
dread,
When they feared they could not
stand;
But BALTIC, the dog who had the lead,
Was the one who saved the day,
He had been to Nome on grim trips
before
And he sensed the right Of way!
Oh, we live in an age of miracles
We have science at the gate,
But science could never have reach
ed Nome,
Not before it was too late!
And science could never have match.
ed it's life
With the agony of frost,
And science could never have jeered
at death,
When the way ahead was lost.
1t was BALTIC, the dog, who kept the
trail
1t was BALTIC, the dog, whose heart
Was like an engine that throbbed so
fast
That it almost burst apart
1t was BALTIC who needed no rein or
whip,
No food, or no bit of rest,
Who gave in dumb, unasking way
OF his fine, instructive best!
The world was watching, bit apart
With it's hand upon it's throat,
And Nome was waiting with frenzied
prayers
Those prayers had a sobbing note!
And the papers headlined the driven
beasts,
And wrote in unstinting praise,
But the man who drove tramped be-
hind his dogs
In a snow-swept, cropping daze!
I fancy the miles at the very last
Were miles of unceasing pain,
When Nome seemed only magic
place
That they never, quite, would gain.
| fancy the man had ceased to think,
And the dogs begun to cry,
When they saw the dark of the town
Against the black of the stormy
sky!
A crack of the whip, feeble one
And mad shouting from afar!
All, Kasson was like mariner
That has crossed the last, grim bar.
A dog sank down with a little moan,
But was jerked back to mis- feet,
And BALTIC ran, with steady gait,
Through the cheering, vivid street,!
They will tell in the books of history,
This tale of a splendid deed,
Of men and dogs who dared carry on,
With courage their only creed
But will they tell us how Kasson wept
AS he trod the streets of Nome,
Or that BALTIC sank to the ground, and
slept,
When he knew that he was home?

A Thrilling Story from the NorthIand
of SeIf-Denial and Sacrifice for
the Sake of Others.

Margaret e. Sangster in Christian
Herald
From out of the frozen North it
comes,
This tale of splendid deed,
Of men and dogs who have carried
on,
With strength as their only creed; !;
With strength and honor and duty,
Keen as the tempest that they
braved,
Of men and dogs who have fought
with fear,
That their brothers might be saved !
A scourge lay over the town of Nome,
And it's people felt dismay,
And the help to save from an icy
grave
Was six hundred miles away;
The help in the form of medicine
That would ease the pain and dread
That would conquer terror and black
disease
And the suffering ahead!
We live in an age of miracles,
Of motors and rails of steel,
OF power that moves on splendid
wing,
On runner and wave and wheel!
We have conquered the air and the
ocean tide,
We have crashed thru the earth
below,
But Nome was wrapped in a cloak of
ice,
Tn a ~
An then it was, in the time of need,
That the works of science failed,
For storm lay over the northern land,
And the stoutest engines quaiIed; !;
The rails were blocked and the air
planes
Were helpless before the blast
And the hand of the scourge brushed
over Nome,
A hand that was closing fast!
There were just two factors, the old
est ones
That have ruled the northern land,
The man and the dog-and the little
sled
That is guided by the hand
The man of the snow, and his husky
team,
Who have lived through the lonely
space
OF a lonely country where courage
takes
The first and the only place!
Six hundred miles on an unmarked
road,
With the storm clouds mounting
high,
Six hundred miles DER white ex-
panse,
With black anger in the sky;
Six hundred miles with disease ahead
And with horror lurking near
Six hundred miles for battle ground,
For conflict with grim fear!
They worked in relays, they could
