STUDENT PLAY WELL RECEIVED
 HERELAST NIGHT

An appreciative audience viewed the presentation of the three-act Captain Applejack," with an all- student cast of the Juneau High School, last night in the high school gymnasium.
 After many rehearsals and post ponements due to blackouts, the play was shaped into a highly amusing production.
 The Orchestra Moderne, under the direction of R. White, played two selections, Song of the Bayou" and "In the Hush of the Night before the show began.
 Each member of the cast is to be commended on an excellent characterization of his part. Harry Sperling as Ambrose Applejohn, handled the role of a dissatisfied young head of a family in good style while other members of the Applejohn household, Adrien n c Glass as Poppy Faire, Courlyne Smith as Aunt Agatha, and Bob Satire as Lush, the butler, gave polished support.
 Adventure mingled with the Ap- plejohn family when the house is invaded by rival jewel thieves in the persons of Shirley Davis Us Anna Voleska, Alice Sherwood as Mrs. Pengard, John Cass as MT. Pengard, and Donald Pegues as Ivan Borolsky.
 Ambrose's friend, Johnny Jason, as played by Rodney Nordling, caused the big predicament and he had a good role, well played.
 Lane Rolf as Palmer and Bob Phillips as Dennett along with other members of the pirate crew, Chee Herman and John Lowell, added to the fine entertainment Captain Applejack" presented.
 The three-act adventure, written by Walter Hackett and produced by special arrangement with Sam uel French, was under the able di- rection of Miss Ruth McVay, dra- matics instructor.
 Special staging was made for the production.

 son Memorial Day

Next Sunday is the day set aside in a proclamation issued by GOV Ernest Gruening for Alaskans to honor the memory of Erwin Thomp son, first Alaska man killed in the second World War.
 Ensign Thompson, "A, was the son of MT. and Mrs. Andrew Thompson, of Ketchikan, and was killed Ill action, apparently in the December ' attack of Japanese bombers on the Pearl Harbor navy base in the Hawaiian Islands, his parents were advised by the Navy Department Tuesday. Details of Thompsons death were withheld.
 After graduation from the U. S' Navy Academy at Annapolls, Ill le40, Thompson was assigned to the battleship Oklahoma. He gradu- ated from the Ketchfkan High School in 1935 and attended the University of Washington before going to Annapolis.
 He is survived by his father, now temporarily in Seattle; one sister, Mrs. c. w Croy, at Anacortes, Washington; his mother and two sisters in Ketchikan; and brother in the army at Chilkoot Barracks.
 The proclamation of Gov. Gruen- ing setting aside December 2l as Erwin Thompson Day, follows:
 WHEREAS, the Imperial Jap anese government has made war on the United States by launch ing an unprovoked attack from the air and sea on American Terri tory and against the American people; and
 WHEREAS, the armed forces of the United States Army and Navy fought to repel this unexpected assault, in the course of which many of their officers and men were killed and wounded; and
 WHEREAS, word has come that among those who gallantly fought and died was Ensign Erwin Thomp- son, a graduate of the United States Naval Academy of last year, where he completed his course with honor and distinction, and who was serv- ing on the United States battleShip, Arizona, stationed in Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, when it was attacked; and
 WHEREAS, Erwin Thompson has for many years been resident and citizen of Ketchikan, where his family and he are respected and esteemed; and
 WHEREAS, he appears to be the first citizen of Alaska to lay down his life in the great struggle against tyranny and barbariSm and for freedom, in which our nation is now fully engaged.
 NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ernest Gruening, Governor of Alaska, do proclaim Sunday, December 21. as Erwin Thompson Memorial Day to honor the service, bravery and gallantry of this young man, to- gether with others who in the few brief days of conflict have already given all they had or hoped for, for the preservation of our republic, and I request that all flags on that day be flown at half mast through out Alaska; and I further suggest that the American Legion posts, and civic groups, arrange for suit able observance, recognition and honoring of the memory of Erwin Thompson, the first Alaskan in the Second World War to make the supreme sacrifice for our beloved land
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the Ter ritory of Alaska to be affixed at Juneau, this 17th day of December, thousand nine hundred and forty one
