Beginning Wednesday morning, 15 minutes has been added to the high school day to make room for singing as a part of each day’s work. This is under the direction of Mr. McClellan. Dorothy Johnson occupies the important post at the piano. Due to the fact that the length of high school class periods is fixed by law it was impossible to find time for singing in the previous time allotment. The new arrangement is a response on the part of the administration to a general feeling that music should not be neglected in the upper grades.

The Wolves basketball team held its first intra-squad scrimmage last Saturday and it was much better than expected, said coach Paul Schweinberg. “I’m still carrying 14 players on the varsity and the scrimmage was going to help me round the squad down to 12,” he said. “(It) went so well that I still have 14 players. … I honestly couldn’t decide on my 12 of the varsity. We will be doing a lot of scrimmaging in the next few days and, by next week, I will have the varsity picked,” he said. “In the past few years you have seen us run and gun with the little men doing most of the work (rebounding, shooting, running). This year we have some big men who can take the rebounding, our fast little men will be able to run and gun more and last longer.”

The Wrangell Fish and Game Advisory Committee met to discuss and comment on regulatory proposals for the Alaska Board of Game at its fall meeting concerning hunting in Southeast Alaska. Although the committee looked at 38 proposals for all types of game, the proposals regarding moose and elk drew the most interest in Wrangell. In part this is due to the confusion and disagreement surrounding the number of questioned legal moose taken on the Stikine and the implementation of regulations by wildlife protection officers. “People are very mad over the way protection failed to enforce the … regs this season. Due to a lack of proper enforcement, we had a serious problemof harvest of illegal bulls and cows,” said committee secretary/treasurer Dave Rak.
