Some of tha things which they have had a hand in doing are taking care of dancing; helping with assemblies; suggesting and posting rules in an attempt to secure bettel deportment around the school; and also setting rules for those pupils and teachers who drive to and from school. Next year we would like, however to see the Student Council do some student governing. Every school needs student government aid ours is no exception. President-Student Council STUDENT FORUM Carroll Boswell Tells of Adventure One oil the rtost interesting talks of 4r ie year was given on April twelfth when Carroll Boswell, a graduate of Newport High School, told of his experience as an Army engineer in constouction •' work oh the Alaskan Ilighv ay. • 'This highway is the greatest engineering feat performed, by the TTnited States since the construction of' the Panama Canal, and will open-Alaska for future commerce after the war. Sergeant BosV ell yv s a surveyor cn this route. He told of many her ■ • ships which the army engineers wen forced to endure in building th'i . necessary connection between the United.'States and the Bering Strei ' MUch to tho students' surpri they found but that Alaska is not the barren wasteland th»t they had' imagined. The summer season is short, but the growth of vegetatin is prolific in the short time offor ded. Strawberrieo are the size of apples, and a fifty nound hoad of cabbage is not unusual. The wild animals bothered Sergeant Boswell to.a.certain bxtent, but the common mosquito, harmless as it may seem, proved to be a much' greater annoyance. Although the clinrto is extrexialy cold, it is a . dry cold'' that does not chill the bones like the Juniata breezes. The px'icos . of commodities in Alaska has always been exhorbitant due to the cost of transportation. Cokes are twenty cents; a bottle of milk is sixty cents; and the price of movies is seventy-five cents. In spite of that, all American-made articles are offered for prices that are the same as in the United States. Sergeant Boswell's talk v as very interesting but much too shat In tho students' opinion. He is the son of Mr. Pago Boswell of Newport. Newport High School has always been proud of the former president of the dess of 1935.
