13 This weakness has persisted in the detrimental lack of paid office workers to assist the principals up to this time, but principals are no longer required to teach. However, the frequent resignations of high school principals is directly related to the inadequacy of an office organization in the high school which depends mainly on the use of student office assistants. From 1962 to 1969, seven principals have held the position. (Conversations with Nome High School principals and teachers. 1963-1967, passim.)

27 After World War II, an army contractor offered to use his equipment at cost, as a public service, to install a water and sewage system in Nome. His offer was not accepted by the cautious city fathers. The equipment was shipped out and the opportunity lost. (Conversation with a citizen of Nome, 1966.)

29 On a warm day the fetid atmosphere in the high school led the principal, of one-year tenure, to remark, "This place smells like a zoo!" With good school spirit, some of the students voiced their offense in my senior speech class.
