Halloween Party By Tanya Salmon, 1 l th Grade, Igiugig School

On October 31; the Igiqjg school students put on a Halloween Party at the gyae. The older class decked the gym arith paper cats, orange and black streamers, ghosts, and other spooky decoratim.

The party began at 12:30 with kids and adults playing pin the eyes on the ghost. Alicia and Sharolyn Zackar w m the contest and their prize was two miniature p u m p kins. A walk in the park, m w i d chairs, orange pass, and monster maze were also played. Everybody's favorite was probably a walk in the park, seeing as it @ the most laughs. All of the little Licls were excited to play monster maze, but the g%e

Everybody brought r e f r e s m ' cupcakes, a pie, cookies, a cake,& the preschoolers contributed by rt ing ghost candies on a popsick 1Y Everybody had a great time the games, joining in the fun, (of course), and socializing. m year, the Halloween Party ~34 b. better!

BaQtle of the Books By Jeremy S8hmn, 6th Grade, lgiugig School

Last week when we had the pby, we & had a little battle of the books co- between the kindergartners all the way to h@h &udem. The fifth-sixth and the third-fourth g d a s were out after the first ten rounds. It was Ihen a cpnegiilion between the junior high, high shad, and the kin- dergartners-second grade. A k the k& -, the eighth grader was out, sa it - a fight be- tween kindergartners-second d tk sd-roolers. The k-2nd grade missed ih& epesbn and gave the high school a charroe- *lin. The high schoolers got their question BlAB @hey won. I think that the third, fourth, fH3biW1 gadecs need to practice and read more so kqr rrouM get more questions right. Also, next nmdh ail b e tfie next practice competition so \R rrl 4 b work hard

so we can win the R&& in January.

College Life By AlexAnna Salmon, 12th Grade. @t& Schod

I

I am so excited to be the Class of 2004. The only problem is I don't know where I am going after graduation. I am the worst decision- 1:

I i

maker alive, so choosing the right college for me was proving impossible, nearly life- threatening. Then one day I received an appli- cation for Dartmouth's Native American Fly-In Program. Free transportation. Free lodging. 1

I Free food. Perfect, I thought, and sent my pa-1 pers ASAP. A week later I was filling out appli- cations for the same programs at Stanford and) Cornell University. (M to right) a Dartmouth student from Dillingham, Sarah

One later am in a at a d AkxAnna (two prospective students) and a Dartmouth Dartmouth's Native American House, attending alumni from Kotzebue. college classes, getting campus tours and an interview at admissions in Hanover, New Hampshire. I lived real college life for four days, got a true feel for this Ivy League institution and all it had to offer. I loved Dartmouth, a college I had never even considered before. Also, after coincidentally running in to other Alaskans, some I knew, I learned that it is a small world, but an even smaller world for Alaskans.

As a pit stop between college visitation programs, I was dropped off at my other hometown in Pen- field, NY. I stayed a few days with my family, visited my old high school, and hung out with old friends. The next weekend I was driven to Cornell University in lthaca, NY. The campus in fall time was beauti- ful. It was also the size of downtown Anchorage! I had the opportunity to attend a psychology lecture hall with 750 students discussing what is wrong with men these days. I also got to dance with Iro- quois Indians, attend a Gates Millennium Scholarship presentation, and explore an even larger Ivy League university composed of seven different odlegesl Comell was actually a college I highly consid-

ere& however. after getting a '~review' I realized it isn't " " . really my type.

Now I am back in lgiugig, Alaska. I am still the only senior in a class where my brothers and sister make up ha# the students. I still have a pile of scholarship and cdlege applications the size of Big Mountain to fill out.

I But, I was granted the chance to fly to the other side of the country to learn about these colleges I am reading about, and for free. Now I have a better idea of what type of colleges I am looking for. These experiences have made my decision making extremely easier. I know what to look for, what questions to ask, and who to go to. I feel more confident in mv long search for the - - right place to pursue my goals. ~ ~ s d v i c e for all juniors

Letter to the Editor The October 2003 issue of 'Igiugig News & Notes'

arrived. It is always fun to fmd it in the mailbox and read what is happening with the folks in Igiugig. l l i s issue caused some comment among the relatives of the writer. We were surprised to read such a negative account of our part of the world.

In the article 'Small Town Blues' IAe writer stated that she "Would rather live in Igiugig (mkstmdable since it is where she was born and brought up) &an in a big city like New York because here I have the -to do what I want. 1 can drive the truck without a license er a pcnnif pass the speed limit, and run around l i e my head is chopped off if I want to." She cannot really mean New York City, which is the greatest city in the world. I'm Esirly sure sk seva visited Ibae. So, she must be referring to the area sbe did visiG-&akld, New Yak.

Penfield is a tmn, not a city sad, m, you can- not drive anything om 1Be road - a Licarsp a pennit, or exceed the speed l i I've aka s ~ ~ l r r sea q ca m m h g around without a heabnor do I rs8 to. In of this

location we can offer some %.Ib minute walk from where I lire, B p s - ,

drug stores, restaurants, beauty p l q m - ~ lor, etc.

If that is too limiting, a perar 4- J and board a bus to the nearby city &-- five minutes you would have avai- mi em Planetarium, 4 star restaurants, hisieric -L- great architecture, concerts and shops g a l e

Right now we are in autumn of the yeer. Bg pumpkins dot a large field up the road, it is and fresh apple cider is on tap. The foliage is b- beautiful with the trees arrayed in their red, gold, a d .pea leaves. When I take my walk every day, I look at the seenay and think to myself, what a wonderful, wonderful place to live. It's home. It's New York.

Sincerely,

Tanya's Grandmother
