 Upon entering high school. we termed . combination of everything frem idiots to weuld.bs philosopher. Hswever. bad as we were when ws cane here, the faculty admits they have been rather successful in ''the making of us''-but we think they AiA . bum job on some of our num- ber.
 Our hrst day proved to be rather of an Ask Me Another" day. We were asked every question from the . branches to the roots and sops of the family tree. Some few weeks later, election came along. and considering the fact that we did not know many of our classmates, we made our prssence felt by electing Harry 1laAe. president: Margaret Kiniry. vice president: Mary McCrann, sec- rstary and John Staub. treasurer. A few of our fellow members vsntured to enter sports. Regardless Of the teers given them by the up- per classmen, they stuck to it and proved themselves to be promising lot of athletes who were worshipped by their fellow classmates.
 Our first class day is one which will never be forgotten. We had bssn wi1led the color of lavender by the graduating class of June. 1S1e, and we were 70 anxious to kssp the color an outstanding one, that ws attempted to play the part of shrinking violets at the social Judging from the remarks passed by the upper classmen, we must have been tremendously successful. How ever. before the day was over, we were determind to "hlossom out" the following year.
 Thus ended out first year at high school. During this year we had made friendships-some of which will undoubtedly prove to be life- long combinations.
 Our junior year was one of gaiety and liveliness. We had all had . splendid vacation and were ready to return to school and play on the freshmen some of the time-worn 5okes which had been played on us the previous year.
 Although we did not feel the need of new officers, it was customary to elect them each year. We again cast our ballots Sam Black was made president. Margaret Kiniry. his assistant. Mary McCrann. secre- tary and Harry slade was entrusted to the safe-keeping of the steadily increasing funds.
 During this year, we were not 70 shy of the offices: in fact. We were 70 ssciable that we were requested by the administration to become bet ter acquainted with the rules and regulations Of the school.
 Sports this year were more inter- esting to Us because we had more class members who participated. We kstball and football. This was I good record. and we certainly thank those fellow members who helped to tive us a high standing.

FINANCES ALASKA S0UNDEST SHAPE
 IN A DECADE; SAID
TERRITORY ENTERS NEW YEAR IN STRONG FINANCIAL PO-
 SETON

The Territory of Alaska on Jan uary 1, 1929, was in the soundest financial position in decade, it was indicated by statement is- sued by the Territorial Treasu1 CT at Juneau and published in the Juneau Empire. The cash bal ance in the treasury as of Decem- Der 31, 1928, was $657, 7,678.57, and in addition there was $81, ,000 in the Pioneers Home Building Fund, making a total of assets $738,678. 57.
 This is slightly less than the cash on hand as of December 31, when the records show a balance of SITE, ,25859, but it is an improve ment over 1926 when the balance was S614,O1O.07 without any sink ing fund for the Pioneers Home.
 The improvement was made des- pite the lean year in the fisheries industry in 1927 when the salmon pack was the smallest in many years. It was indicated that the treasury would enter the fiscal year, beginning April 1, 1929, with a balance in excess of $1,250, ,000. Taxes from the salmon packing industry are largely lacking but will be received before March 1. As the 1928 pack was one of the lar gest in the Territory's history the taxes will be correspondingly heavy. ....=. -..#
 On March 31, 1928, the treasury balance was $1 3,079.75, and on March 31, 1927, it was $1,374, ,460.48. The treasurer believes it will exceed both figures on March 31, of this year

SEATTLE MEN TO SEEK MILLIONS
 LIST IN ALASKA
HAS BEEN ON THE SEA BOTTOM FOR 26 YEARS
 DOUGLAS ISLAND

SEA TILE. Jan. 12, LP)--The su1n of $3Gro,Ooo in gold lies deep in the .cold waters of one of the many passes around Douglas Island Oil the Inside Passage to Alaska.
 It is the dream and hope of two Seattle men George Henderson and H. G. Koller-to recover that fortune
 foggy September night, Jr4c io AL Iaskan steamer Islander slowly made it's way thru the treacherous channels.
 Aboard the croft was a capacity load c! passengers, men and women coming. 11@~z:8e from the Northern gold fields Men and women who had won frtunes in conouesting the Ihardships of the North.
 SINKS BIO FEET
 In the small office of the purser there was more than $3,000,O0O in gold. The ships safe had been fill ed to overflowing and some of the vast wealth was stacked in boxes and sacks on the floor.
 Suddenly there came a sharp shock followed by four short blasts on the ships whistle.
 The Islander had struck a sub merged reef around Douglas Island. Ske partially filled, but the rising tide carried the Islander off the reef and she drifted for three miles before sinking with her precious cargo and 78 human lives. The yes sel plunged to the bottom-310 feet far below the reach of any known diving outfit of that day.
 Todey Henderson and Roller have organized a salvage cmpany, and, with a diving outfit designed by Henderson they plan to seek this treasure. Henderson is positive his outfit can be used successfully ir water to a depth of 500 feet IL consists mainly of tube about IS feet long and weighing 5000 pounds.
 Attached to the tube is powerful light which the designers says, will enable the occupant to see for distance of 100 feet at any depth.
 NFCWANTCAL HAND
 Salvage will be accomplished by a mechanical hand managed by the occupant. Air is taken down in the tube in a tank. and in sufficient quantity to last for four hours.
 Position of the tube will be co1, trclled by men above on tug, di- rected by the diver by telephone.
 According to the designer, the tube has been tested in 40 feet of water off Alki Point.
 There is little doubt among ship ping men as to the vast wealth aboard the Islander wreck, as Lloyd's paid claims of more than S2.OOO,oOO at the time of the disas- ter.
 Henderson and Roller plan to start their search as soon as wealth er permits. probably, early in the srrirg. l
