For the past two weeks there
have been no pep assemblies but
all that will change this week. A
pep assembly is scheduled for
Friday for the last football game
of the season. It will be played at
our school against Ocosta.
The Debate teams from our
school both lost when they went
to Vashon. The other schools
participating in the meet were
Central and South Kitsap. The
debaters who went were Bruce -
Becker, Jan Mathiason, Jim
Swanson, Lee Russell, and Nancy
White. Lee and Jim had won one
of the debates the week before
when the meet was at our school.
The picture packets for the
people who had their pictures
taken in color are still in the
office. Please, rush to the office
and purchase yours so that this
little matter can be cleared up.
Speaking of pictures, the
representative from the studio in
Shelton where most of the
Seniors had their pictures taken
came to the school to take the
orders. The finished pictures
should be back in about three
weeks.
Those students who wish to
be in the Drama Club and did not
sign up before this time still have
a chance to join. They will be
screened by the Executive Board
and the sponsor but membership
is still attainable. The Drama Club
is going to go see "Macbeth" in
December. It is going to be put on
by the University of Washington
School of Drama at the Glenn
Hughes Playhouse. They will also
be going to see "Getting Married"

sometime in January. The Drama
Club will .be in charge of the
tickets and programs at the plays
this year instead of the Honor
Society as it has been in years
past.
The Sophomores have been
busy selling candy to raise money
for their class. The class pin
choices are up in the library
showcase for all the students who
will be graduated in 1974 to see.
One of the styles will be chosen at
a class meeting, so all you
Sophomores be sure and see them
while they are still on display.
Every year the school sends
out Employment Survey Forms.
This year is no different. Get your
Form signed and back to the
school so that it doesn't become
too much of a nuisance.
The Honor Society is in
charge of running the ASB
Bookstore which is open during
lunch time and before school
starts. Before it has been open
every day but from now on it will
only be open on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday. The
Bookstore sells the books which
are required reading in the English
classes and other books just for
enjoyable reading.
Another of the services that
the Honor Society performs for
the school is to sell and take
tickets at the games. So when you
go to the football and basketball
games (also the wrestling
matches) smile at the
hard-working Honor Society
members.
Last week the GAA had a
meeting to discuss the upcoming

Don't forget the Sr. Play. It
will be November 19 & 20 in the
High School Gym. Everything is
going fine and it should prove to
be a very enjoyable experience.
November 11 is the end of the
first quarter. Just think 45 days
of school have already gone by.
CLASSICS: something that
everybody wants to have read and
nobody wants to read.

Well the last week-end of the
deer season, where in our
particular area it was open the last
two days for both sexes, turned
out quite profitable.
Terry Sills got his - both
Mike and Ken Aries lucked out
also. Harold and Jay Allen hit the
mark again this year, and Tom
Marsh managed to sweeten their
larder.
Frank Madden, after many
days of unsuccessful scouting for
one of his own this year, helped
gut out three the last 2 days for
hunters who had downed theirs
but didn't know how to dress
them out ! !
The better-half has a tag for
sale real cheat, as he ended up a
loser. He also ended up a loser for
his re-election as Fire
Commissioner, by 5 votes!
Jesse wants to thank all those
who did vote for him, and for those
who have since called or come in to
say they thought he was running
unopposed, or was a cinch to win
and didn't bother to vote - thank
you, anyway.
The John lrelands of
Shorebrook pulled their trailer
home to Olympia last week-end
for the winter.
They have a busy schedule
ahead, what with the holidays
coming and their only child,
daughter Judy, will be "Middle
aisling" it in January.
Our sincere sympathy to June
Toombs and family on the death
of her son Donald in a home fire
in Bremerton recently.
The first of several "work
parties" was held at the Stacies'
"shack on the hill" on November
1st, and turned out to be both a
fun and constructive day.
A forerunner to the "silent
auction" to be held at the Tahuya
Fire Hall on Saturday evening,
November 20th, a delightful array
of items are accumulating that
should be gobbled up fast when
the time comes.
Jane served a lovely salad,
dessert and coffee to go along
with the "bring your own
sandwich" luncheon. They call
that a "little shack on the hill"???
The Howard Rannigers of
North Shore Nursery are
ensconsed in their new home.
New to them, they are
temporarily renting the Gardiner
place on the North Shore after
having recently sold their own
home here in Tahuya.
Their plans are, in time, to
put a mobile home on the rear
portion of their property at the
nursery - what a heavenly spot!!
You can tell Christmas is
nearly upon us - the annual
tree-laden trucks are starting to
appear, and it might be wise to
keep this in mind when traveling
the more narrow and curvy spots
of the North Shore road.
Don't forget, Tahuya area
residents, the "Harvest Bazaar" to
be held this Saturday, November
Ifair

Would liked to have been in
Pueblo, Colorado on November
4th when it opened its new
Symphony Orchestra 1971-1972
season.
My only nephew, Michael
Beck, young pianist and a winner
of the Symphony Association's
Mozart Festival Piano
Competition 1971, was guest
artist at the Gala opening concert.
Mike played Piano Concerto No.
1 by Prokofieff, under the
direction of Resident Conductor
Gerhard Track.
Mike's former teacher, Dr.
Rodney Ash, well-known
throughout the United States and
Chairman of the Department of
Music at Western State College
was able to attend the
performance and the festivities
which followed at the Minnequa
University Club.
And to think, not too long
ago, that same Mike thought
fishing for pogies and perch in
Hood Canal was the highlight of
his life!!

Over fifty people turned out~
for the Historical Society meeting
in Belfair last Thursday evening to
hear an informal talk by authoress
Ruby E1 Hult of Santa Barbara,
Calif. who has written several
books about the Olympic
Mountains and the Pacific
Northwest.
Following her speech, several
members of the audience
purchased autographed copies of
the newly revised edition of "The
Untamed Olympics", first
published in 1954, and of her
latest work, "Treasure Hunting
Northwest," just off the press.
Miss Hult, who first came to
Seattle from Idaho in 1945, still
remembers her first glimpse of the
Olympics across Puget Sound
from the state's largest city. She
eventually found a job in an
office whose windows faced the
Olympics, she moved into an
apartment in West Westtle which
had a view of the mountains and
she could see them each day
(weather permitting, of course)
on her way to work. She admits
she fell in love with them and
when she went to the library to
get books about them but found
there were none, she decided
she'd write one herself. The fact
that she had only viewed them
from afar, that she had never even
set foot on the Peninsula, did not
deter her.
At this time she had one
published book to her credit,
"Steamboats in the Timber",
which was about her native Idaho.
It was five years before she
finished "The Untamed
Olympics" and by the time she
had it written she was an
authority on the Olympic
Peninsula area. Besides hours
spent in research in libraries, she
spent many hours interviewing
people who could give her
information about her subject. It
was 1949 when she first visited
the Olympic Peninsula in person
as a guest of Herb and Lois Crisler
in their home in the Olympic
National Forest. Crisler had
started out taking pictures within
the National Forest for
reproduction on post cards but
eventually had progressed to
taking movies of the wildlife
which caught the attention of
Walt Disney and he went on to
work for him. The Crislers took
Miss Hult around to various scenic
places on the Peninsula, from
Hurricane Ridge to Port Angeles
to Lake Crescent etc.
In order to be closer to her
subject, the authoress quit her
high-paying job in Seattle and
moved to Port Angeles where she
was able to work part-time as
proof reader for the Port Angeles
Evening News, under the watchful
eye of Charles Webster, editor. He
was a fountain of knowledge
about the Peninsula and shared
what he knew with Miss Hult. She
spent time in various places on
the Peninsula, Forks, LaPush,
Neah Bay, the Hood Canal area
and Shelton in search of more
information. She said she had lots
of fun gathering the information
for the book and met many
interesting people.
She gave a little of the history
of the exploration of the
Olympics, which is included in
her book. She said the perimeter
of the Olympic Peninsula was
well-known for forty years before
anyone ventured into the interior.
Rumors of hidden valleys and
much mystery surrounded the
Olympics until the initial
exploration party, the Press Party,
ventured into the interior and
found only mountains behind
other mountains. She also told a
lithe of the history of the second
party to explore the mountains,
the O'Neil party, which sent small
groups along different river routes
and came back with some
primitive maps of the mountain
area. She said it had been O'Neil's
opinion, when he returned from
the exploration trip, that the area
should be preserved as a national
park, a recommendation which
eventually came to pass.
The last chapter in "The
Untamed Olympics", the
authoress noted, had remained
entitled "Bridge to the Future"
but had been updated in the
revised edition. At the time the
original book had been written
the big topic of conversation in
the area was a possible bridge
across Puget Sound which would
have made many changes in the
area. In the new edition her
"Bridge to the Future" chapter
posed the question of how the
Olympic Peninsula can maintain
its charming wooded roads, its
beaches filled with shellfish, its
clean waters and air in the face of
the increasing demand for more
developments so that more and
more people might move into the
area. She said she did not have the
answer but that she hoped the
many environmentalist groups
working on the problem would
soon find the solution before the
natural loveliness of the area is
destroyed.
WE CAN say nothing with
certainty about anything, because
the picture presented to us is not
constant. Philo
