, Ruperfs Land College Magazine EDITORIAL NOTES It takes courage to publish a school magazine with the knowledge that noeone has dared to contemplate such an action since the last issue proved a financial'failure in 1921. Still it's a case of Nothing venture, nothing win, and we hope that THE EAGLE will have a long and successful career. Knowing that the future of the Magazine depends entirely on its being a financial success, we must ask our readers to con- tent themselves with the present issue. If they support us whole-heartedly and make sure that we sell all the copies of the Magazine this year, we can safely promise that THE EAGLE will be larger and more profusely illustrated in 1930. In connection with this matter an interesting competition is announced in our advertisement columns, so please look for it at once! I We thank all those who have sent in articles and helped to make the Magazine a success and regret that it has been impossible to find room for all the contributions. Our thanks are also due to the people who have shown themselves so willing to support us by advertising in our columns. Be sure to take THE EAGLE with you when you seek the heights during the holiday! Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. CHRONICLE OF EVENTS r 1-Upper and Middle School opened.

It is one of the most important days on the Northern Calendar. Why? Because June 21st is the longest day of the year in the North, the day of the year when Old Sol takes no sleep, but stays out all night, north of the Arctic Circle, giving twenty- four hours of glorious daylight. Every year on this day, as is the custom, dozens of North- erners and Dawsonites, along with the Cheechacos, who are strangers from other lands, flock to the Domes to see this won- derful sight, which is so symbolical of the golden North, and which has added another touch of fame to its name. For weeks this day is awaited and all hope that it will dawn cloud- less, so that nothing shall hide the beauty of the sunrise. Everything is prepared for a trip to one of the two Domes thigh summitsl. From that height the sunrise can be viewed in perfect form. The first-King Solomon Dome-approxi- mately thirty miles from Dawson, Yukon, can be reached by an automobile trip of two o-r three hours. Thus, early on this June. evening one can hear and see cars of all descriptions, iilled with sightseers, young and old, setting off cheerfully and excitedly, hoping to reach their journey's end without any mishaps.
