PORTLAND.—With a newspaper
job awaiting her onJThe Kusko Times
in Takotna, Alaska, Bezrae Boyd,,
whose Eskimo. lytme is Beiratuek,
will be luckier than most high, school
graduates when she eceives her di
years old, is the adopted daughter of
ploma from Washington high school
late this month. Bez.rae, who, is 17
year sold,»is the adopted daughter Qf
Mrs. B. J. Boyd, a former government
teacher in Alaska.
Her brown-black eyes flashing with
enthusiasm and her.black curls ,bob,
bing, Bezrae, who is less than five
feet in height, told of iwr ambition
to learn the newspaper .business front
the ground up.,
“Then, when I earn enough, money,” j
she.: declared, “I’ll come back o Ore-;
gon; to normal school and learn ,to be
a teacher. Then I can teach my o.wn
people.
“I want to bn- la nurse, too. A(
teacher n Alaska has to have nurse’s
training besides; normal school, tp be4
a good teacher.”
During the past yeay at Washing-!
ton-t—Bezrae took her first three years
of high school at Longview, Wash.—1
she:has been a feature writer for the.
school paper,, the Washingtonian.
Just about a week ago. girls of the
school presented a, gyiji leader’s pin,
to her and made her a member of ti\e
association as a token of affection,
since she did not attend Washington
long enough to fulfill the actual re
quirements of this group.
“I love to scad, especially poetry,” 1
Bezrae said. “I .think English is my
favorite subject. I’m not so good at
‘math.’ I like biology the best, of th.e
sciences,” showing that she no dif

although she was born in the tundra
at the mouth of the Kuskokwim river
of Kakoak.
Bezrae loves to cook, but doesn’t
care for sewing. She recalls days near
Bethany, Alaska, where she was born,
when the Eskimo, children, wore fur
parkas the year round, except when
the weather was. too hot. “Then we
didn’t wear anything,” she naively
related., .. *
She is fond of all her teachers at
Washington high school. “They must
be the best teachers in the. tow.q,” she
commented “They have heen so kind
to me.”
Mrs. Boyd, now “mother” to the
Eskimo giri whose »wn mother died
when she was four years .old, was
Be^rae’s teacher in. elementary school
in Takotna and then brought her to
the States for her,high school, educa
tion.
- Bezrae .will sail for Alaska from.
Seattle, transferring to river steamer/
at the mouth of the Kuskokwim river.
Following ,ten days on the riyer, there
will be a final two-day journey in a
small gasboat before she arrives in

death, eome ■ time befbre *he^ reaches
