High School Spotlight:
Jennifer fills all,
By MARY DUNCAN
Jennifer Settle is simply en-
joying all of her senior year.
"The last of everything," she ob-
serves, "and realizing that I'm
going to be gone next year,"
The soft-spoken, modest
young woman has accomplished
a great deal during her years at
Shelton High School. She has

more and earned all-American
distinction at cheerleading camp
last summer, an accolade she
failed to mention during the in-
terview.
Her athleticism carried her to
a fifth-place finish in state div-
ing competition. This spring she
will be competing on the High-
climber track team where she
runs sprints. "And I jump a
little," Jennifer adds.
JENNIFER IS ALSO one of a
handful of seniors who have
maintained a perfect 4.0 aver-
age. She works at A&W Restau-

A devout Christian, Jennifer
attends Bible studies on
Wednesday nights at Shelton's
First Baptist Church, where she
is a student leader for the youth
group.
Jennifer considered her local
community for a leadership
class project. Jennifer explains
that she organized a 24-hour fa-
mine among students as a fund-
raiser for Street Reach, a subdi-
vision of Bread Basket Minis-
tries.
Those students who participat-
ed got people to sponsor them to
fast for 24 hours, Jennifer adds.
The project raised a little over
$900 for the Street Reach minis-
try, a project which began this
year to help the hungry by serv-
ing evening meals in downtown
Shelton.
WHILE SHE IS equally en-
thusiastic about all her activities,
there does seem to be a special
twinkle in her eyes when she
talks about cheerleading. "It's
really fun and I think it's fun to

spend a lot of time with them,"
Jennifer notes.
"People don't realize how
much we do," she continues. "We
have morning practices every
day at 6:45; sometimes if we're
having something big that week,
it'll be 6:30 and we usually have
one or two things we actually
t have to cheer for during the
week. The sports people think
they're busy but we're just as busy
as they are. We have to practice
just as much.
"Then we have to go to their
games also and we also make
signs and we make favors for the
players. The signs people see
hanging up, they don't really
think that some one had to make
those, and it takes a long time,"
she points out.
Although all 11 members of the
black squad cheered at football
games, "when winter sports
come around, we split up," Jen-
nifer says. "Six went to basket-
ball and five went to wrestling
and I cheer for wrestling."
CHEERING AT MAT match-
es is not like cheering for the
other sports. Jennifer explains,
"You don't cheer toward the
crowd. You face the person. In
wrestling you are cheering for
the wrestler."
Jennifer is not really sure
what motivated her to try out for
cheerleading. "I think my
friends wanted me to because I
was in gymnastics for a really
long time so that helps out a lot,"
she recalls, "and I thought it
would be fun to try it so I did. I
liked it so much I kept doing it."
She quit going to Black Hills
Gymnastics her freshman year
after about seven years of the
sport. She acknowledges, how-
ever, that her gymnastic skills
come in handy for both cheer-
leading and diving.
1 Jennifer reflects on the chal-
lenge for her in diving. "I would
say it'd have to be just getting
' over the fear of trying the dives
" and crashing."
YES, SHE LAUGHS, she has
crashed. Yet she got right back
on the one-meter springboard.
"You have to," she states.
"Otherwise it just gets worse and
worse so you have to get back up
and do it again."
After high school, this scholar-
athlete will attend college. "I've
been accepted to Seattle Pacific
University and Whitworth Col-
lege in Spokane. Those were my
top two choices. I'm not sure
which one I want to go to yet," she
said, though she's "leaning a lit-
tle bit more toward SPU but I'm
not sure what I want to be yet,"
she admits.
"I used to want to be a teacher
but I don't think I want to be that
any more," she continues. Be-
cause she likes a rural setting,
Jennifer adds she is also think-
ing - at least tentatively - about
being a veterinarian for big ani-
mals.
Both SPU and Whitworth are
small schools, something which
she found attractive. "Mainly the
fact that they're Christian
schools and I really like the en-
vironment a lot better than public
schools," Jennifer explains.
SHE HAS HAD the opportunity
to visit on campuses with her old-
er brother Mike, who is graduat-
ing from SPU this year, and her
older sister Erin, a junior at
Central Washington Universi-
ty.
Jennifer also has two younger
siblings, Meredith, a sophomore,
and Elizabeth, a seventh grader.
Her dad Ben is attorney for the
city of Shelton and her mom
Lynn is a third-grade teacher at
Mason County Christian School.
About being the middle child,
Jennifer says, "I like it, actual-
ly, because that way I have an
older brother and sister and
younger sisters so I think that I
get the best deal."
Jennifer also concedes she
likes Shelton. "I don't think that
I'll come back here to live but I've
liked growing up here," she
adds.
So how does Jennifer manage
to fit everything all in? "I don't
know," she laughs. "Somehow I
just manage." She laughs again,
and flashes an all-American
grin.

From the January 27, 1899, Mason County Journal:
Rev. M. Eells and wife passed their silver wedding on the
(without silver) though neither are very silvery in their locks yet.
With the exception of the first five months their home during these
25 years has been on the Skokomish reservation. A number of
friends spent the evening very pleasantly with them.
Mark E. Reed represented Shelton at the legislative ball ill
Olympia last Friday evening, at which the elite of the state were
present , or rather those of the elite who could afford tickets at $
each...Two hundred couples were present, and the list included
Messes. Irene and Carrie Simpson, of Seattle.
The oystermen who have been in some dread of a cold snap,
lowing the snow are somewhat relieved. They are pretty indep,
ent and Jack Frost is the only fellow that "cuts any ice" with the
oyster nabob, these days.
