SX IQUNXX- - 7 as - ' A TALE OF TWO COUNTRIES My family immigrated to the United States from Canada a few days before I began my seventh grade year. After living in a small university town in northern Idaho for two years, we moved to Iuneau, the capital of Alaska. There I attended and graduated from high school. The fall following high school graduation I became a student at the University of Alaska near Fairbanks and shortly after the completion of my freshman year there, I turned eighteen years of age. Having attained that age I immediately became eligible to apply for a driver's license and American citizenship. While spending the summer in Iuneau I started working on the requirements for both. Since the rest of my family was moving to South Dakota during the summer and it was unlikely that I would he returning to Iuneau in the future, the immigration officer there graciously tried to push all required paperwork through as quickly as possible. I easily passed the requirement that I be able to speak, read, and write English since that was my native tongue. I also easily passed the test covering knowledge of United States government which I had been thoroughly trained in through high school history and civics classes. For the third requirement I needed two United States citizens who had known me personally without interruption for five years. These persons were to vouch that I had good moral character and had been an upright resident of the United States during their acquaintance with me. Two of my friends who had attended both high school and university with me served as the needed witnesses. The final action required to become a citizen was to he sworn in as a citizen by a federal iudge and to receive my citizenship papers from him. Usually new citizens are sworn in in groups, but since I did not plan to again be in Iuneau, the federal judge headquartered there agreed to swear me in by myself. Thus it was that, three or four days before I was to return to the university, I was sworn in as an American citizen in the federal court at Iuneau and challenged to he an exemplary citizen in an address given hy the iudge. The lone witness of this important-to me-occasion was my high school Sunday school teacher. - Mrs. Virginia Taylor Vvkry A X N X ilisgsf t.f.

Some of the exciting things Ms. Akin has seen include the efforts put forth for the new school, academic achievements, and athletic acheivements. Among Ms. llkin's hobbies are traveling and sports. Golf, in particular, has always been a challenge to her - she enjoys trying to hit a small ball into a small hole. lt is also rumored that she has a baseball collection. ln the future, she would like to l see the jr. and sr. high separated because of the l age and maturity levels. She would also like to see students take their studies more seriously. Ms. Akin enjoys the small size ol the school, and she also enjoys working with the great faculty and staff.
