The Pioneer Roof Garden
And How Tt Got Started

Perhaps never in the history of
Nome has there been interest
manifested in any social event
comparable with that in evidence
this week relative to the R o f
Garden. In the stores; on the
street; at the airport; even among
the school children, all are talk
ing Roof Garden. There is an
apparent good reason.
The winter social season of
Nome begins with the Roof Gar
den. 1t provides what it takes to
bring the people Of the commun-
ity together in an atmosphere
charged with the spirit of good
will, congenial fellowship, mutual
understanding and hospitality, so
essential to the life and we'll
being of a small town like Nome.
The early pioneers knew the i'll
effects of isolation, as well as the
benefits derived from commun-
ity gatherings when opportunity
offered They, the men who or
ganized Igloo No | of Nome, the
first Igloo in the Territory, were
conscious from experience Of the
importance of establishing an an
nual custom in some form of
community entertainment at or
near the close of the calendar
year. So it was, the Roof Garden
had its origin.
1t met the needs and wants of
the community in a social way
SO well that it has been perpetu-
ated and accepted as a symbol Of
pioneer life and hospitality.
The only people who ever ex-
pressed disappointment with the
Pioneer Roof Garden are those
who are unfortunately unable TO
attend. YOU CANNOT AFFORD

HIGH SCHOOL
Nome High students had a very
exciting time last weekend. First,
we had Thanksgiving vacation,
and to add to this, we had very
important guests from Palmer
High School. Their team came up
for the weekend to play a two
game series with our team. Nome
won both games but we must say
that the Palmer team gave us a
very rough time.
After the second game on Sat-
urday, we had party in their
honor. After delicious refresh
ments, served in the assembly,
there was dancing for the rest of
the evening. Everyone seemed to
enjoy the special occasion.
In the Aeronautics class we are
building model airplanes which
are progressing very well. So far,
Alfred Sahlin and Geraldine Fag-
erstrom are ahead in their pro-

to be enjoyed by everyone that is

NOBEL PRIZE FETE :

NOBEL PRIZE FETE With
traditional pomp and ceremony,
the 1851 Nobel Festival was OBJ
served in the flower-decked grand
auditorium of the Stockholm Con-
cert House on December 10, the
day on which Alfred Nobel died,
in 1895. From the hand of King
Gustaf vi Adolf, the prize win
ners received their gold medals,
embossed diplomas, and checks,
amounting to $32,357 each, except
in the case of joint awards, when
each laureate received one half of
this sum.
At the traditional Nobel Ban
quet at the City Hall, which fol-
lowed the awarding of the prizes,
the winners were greeted by Pro-
fessor Einar Lofstedt, a member
of the Swedish Academy and an
expert on ancient Latin history and
literature. He emphasized, "des-
pite darkness and peril, we be-
heve in the future. Human reason
will never die, nor will faith, hope,
and love be extinguished in the
storm. All over the world, the
free world, we see scientists, poets,
and writer's unremittingly and I'M
selfishly working in the spirit of
that lonely, dreaming, pessimistic,
and yet hyperidealistic man, who
bore the name of Alfred Nobel"

Backstage Hollywood

Maybe now we can add another
name to the long list of Swedes
who have done credit to their
country in the Hollywood movies
and that is little Kristina Brunius.
She might be too young yet to
take up competition with Marta,
Signe, Viveca and our other big
girls with glamour-looks, but she
sure has the right curly hair and
sweet personality to fit into the
fairyland surroundings of a Disney
picture. And with Sweden's famous
first lady of the theater," Paul
inc Brunius, as her grandmother,
she also should have the neces-
sary talent.
TIM, as everyone calls her,
made her screen debut as a Swed-
ish girl in a special Christmas pic
ture Walt Disney is producing.
By the time you read this,
Gunnel Brostrom will be on her
way back to Sweden to star in
a picture called "V-39," an ex-
citing submarine story to be pro-
duced by Hampe Faustman. I
have never seen a girl more happy
about getting back to work Gun
mel has been absent from h e
screen for quite some time on ac-
count of marriage and b a b y
Michael. Now her husband Kirk
Tally, and her baby probably will
fly over to her in Stockholm.
Gunnel will be back in Hollywood
again in January and hopes to
get chance to break into the
American movies. If the Holly
wood producers really have an
eye for a fine actress, Gunnel
should hardly have any trouble
starting a career over here.
