TOPPER AND HIS CHARMING GHOST
 NOW AT CAPITOL
Topper Returns Bringing Laughs and Chuekles
 10 Juneduites

Hal Roach's third picture in his famous Topper series is the bril- liantly produced and directed mys- first performance last night at the turns" which was unveiled at its gala premiere last night at the Capitol Theatre under the auspices of United Artists This latest Roach offering, which is based on an or iginal story by Jonathan Latimer, carries the famous characters cre- ated by the late Thorne Smith in- to further laugh-packed channels of fun and hilarity.
 Topper Returns" is an excellent blend of mystery and comedy, with cracking dialogue, eerie situations and spell-binding acton. It was smartly directed by Roy Del Ruth and keeps the audience nailed to its seats with suspense that gallops and is interspersed with punchy humor. Roland Young and Billie Burke are back as Cosmo Topper and his not-so-bright wife, the roles in which they scored in the two preceding Roach hits, Topper and Topper Takes a Trip"
 Other top-notch portrayals are contributed by lovely Joan Blondell who is seen as the lovely and shapely spirit which haunts Cosmo Topper and gets him into many hilarious situations. Carole Landis, the luscious blonde, turns in an excellent performance as the TO- mantle lead, while opposite her is flip and easy-going Dennis O'Keefe, the hero of the piece.

JOHN TANAkA GETS DIPLOMA
 TODAY AT JHS
Special Graduation Exer. cise Held for Honor
 Student dt School

A graduation exercise was held in Juneau High School this after noon. Only one student took part but to the others it might have served as an object lesson in tol- erance.
 The student was John Tanaka who, although he was born in Ju- neau and has attended school for B years with the same group of seniors with whom he had expected to be graduated next month, is a Japanese, and thus must be evacu- ated with others of his family and race by April 20.
 April 20 will be Johns eighteenth birthday.
 But he isn't bitter about his birthday present He says it is right and fair that he should go with the others, although he hates to leave the school chums who have been his closest friends for years Presented Diploma
 There was no overdue sentiment about the commencement exercise R. R. Hermann, member of the school board, presented the diploma to John and one of his close friends took a picture of the pres entation.
 Chances are that John would have been valedictorian of Juneau High School if he had been able to remain until the end of the semester. His grade point average is 3.63, but the final As and B's of his closest rivals haven't vel been registered.
 A tall, slim and studious look ing boy, John has only had 5 c grades through his grade school and high school career. But he has had time to take part in many extra -curricular activities.
 Many Actlv1tieS
 When he was in the eighth grade, John was president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce which was an active organization at that time. He has been on the publications staff of the Jaybirf and Totem all of his four years in high school and this year t editor. !.
 Also he has found time to belong to the Photo Club, the Mathemat- ics Club. Student Council, and has been member of the Honor So. ciety for four years. He is also ir Quill and Scroll, high school journ' alism honorary, and is an ardent supporter of all school athletics as we'll as taking part in the ac' tivities of the Ski Club.
 These are the reasons that Ju- neau High School fellow student: and teachers held special gradn. ation exercise for John Tanaka.
