High School Spotlight
Kurl q'hompson. Assistant
Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop
No l I 2 and president of
Explorer Post No. 7 1 1, began as a
cub scout at the age of eight years
and has been active in scouting
ever since.
"I'll stay with it as long as I'm
in the States," he says.
Kurt studies world affairs,
journalism, world hislory,
trigonometry, and civics; he
enjoys them all. He is a member
of AFS, French Club, and the
Rifle Club, to which he also
belonged last year. He is a
member of the United Methodist
Youth Fellowship group, and an
editor of the High Climber. He
was Shelton's semi-finalist in the
National Merit Scholarship
Qualifying test, and he is
employed by Miklethun Electric.
Mr. and Mrs. Richard L.
Thompson are his parents, and he
has two brothers and a sister.
Carey is a high school junior and
Keith is an eighth grader. Carol is
m the
30,
R|chJand, Wa. when he was seven
years old and to She/ton as a
junior. His home is on Island
Lake, and he participates in
hunting, camping, hiking and
water skiing.
"'!like to keep busy," he
states.
His Explorer Post is now
trap-shooting, and plans to soon
take a scuba course, as well a%
survival course at Fairchild Air
Force Base near Spokane. Kurt
took the course in June of 1969.
"'It is basically the same
course as that given to Air Force
personnel," he explains, "but
some things are omitted in order
to concentrate on those things
which are most important to the
boys."
The one-week course consists
of three days in the class room on
the base followed by three days in
the woods 100 miles north of
Spokane.
"It involves a 10 hour
cross-country hike," Kurt recalls,
"with a compass and a dot on the
map to be located. Minimum
tools and provisions are carried."
Kurt will work, this coming
summer, either as an electrician's
app.tcatice .or m Simpson Timber
COmpany's mill. He plans to
atlend Evergreen College as a
pohtical science major and hopes
to carve a future career with
either the State Department or
the UN.

ANCHORING
A HAIRPIECE
Q. I'm always afraid my
i p( i (a fall) will fall off.
How do I anchor it properly?
A. Before putting your
hairpiece on, take a small
strand of your own hair and
wind it into a pincurl. Secure
the Curl with two crossed
bobby pins.
Now, slip the comb
attached to the front of your
hairpiece under the pin curl.
For added security, cross
two bObby pins at the back or
the base of the fall.
