the summer in charge of Mr.W.
P.Mills sawmill. He will over
haul the machinery and then
begin to cut lumber. Archie
Dundas and two of our school
boys, David Howard and Louis
Simpson will also find employ
ment in the mill.
Many of our young men have
at this early date made arrange
ment for work all through va
cation. Every one of them
can find employment during the
summer months, even the little
fellows catch the spirit of in
dustry and spend the greater
part of their vacation at work
in the canneries, they like the
hum of the machinery, the mild I
excitement when a large ship
load of tourists come in to see
how the work is done and.
hest of all it means money
to get the good things of life
with.

SCHOOL SONG COMPOSED
l)Y
MISS McDILL
And ;set totype by
Stephen Nicholas
You uiay talk about your high schools
And your schools of every kind;
Hut up in Sitka there's a school
That leaves Yin all behind.
The Sheldon Jackson is the place
To learn.most every thing.
She suits us fine, we love her well
And to her name we sing.
For we are" jolly students of the S.J.S.
We sing it loud,
We love to tell folks who we are,
Come, bovs and girls, arouse!
Sing out with spirit proud
Kah! Kali! Kali .'send her name and fame afar
You may think you know (he gentle art
Of sewing up a seam;
You may think you know exactly
Mow to mend an old machine;
And sawing boards, and cooking meals
May seem just loads of fun:
But wa can show you mighty quick
The way they should he done.
Salmon fishinpr starts on the
twentieth of May, very much
earlier than usual.
