 The bicycle rack and teeter boards and other playground equipment has been installed and several cases of windows being broken by flying stones and BB's were repaired dur ing the summer. Anderson said.
 Three windows in the new build ing require special glass and cannot be repaired until the glass is ship. ped from Kentucky.
 Replacement is quite expensive" 2" Anderson said, "and it is hoped that with the purchase of a few of these panes. earelessness on the part of youngsters will be curtailed. The majority of us are very grateful for such a fine building
 The enrolment by grades is as follows.

Luoine Amara

Her first break as a professional singer was with the San Francisco Opera Chorus-but in 1948 her Cinderella" story really began to unfold when she won the National Atwater Kent Award, topping the field of 1,50O contestants from all over the United States.
 Her debut concert in the Holly wood Bowl, followed by appearances with the San Francisco Symphony and on the Standard Hour broad. casts, ushered in a succession of triumphs which eliminated in contract with the Metropolitan Opera in 1850. It was during this first sea. son that she was selected to sing the role of Nedda in the Columbia Records release of the Metropolitan production of Pagliacci
 She lives with her parents and terms herself a Miss FiXit" around the house, solving such problems as. broken coasters, faucets that won't work and light switches that fail. She likes fishing, sailboating and swimming, and plays the violin forI relaxation from singing.
 Miss Amara will be accompanied tomorrow night by Don Jones whoI will be remembered fine accompani. ment to Raymond Manton when they appeared here on the Alaska Music Trail last year.
 Miss Amara and MT. Jones will be the guests of Wrangell's Elks lodge during their stay here. Immediately following the concert the Elks, as. sisted by the Emblem Club, will hold a reception in the home economics room of the school in honor of the artist The public is invited to at. tend.
