High School Spotlight:
Lauren loo]00s into film industry
By REBECCA WELLS
Of all the volunteer opportuni-
ties Lauren Orme has taken, none
has been more rewarding, person-
al or "awesome" to her than that
at Save Our County's Kids, also
known as SOCK.
"I like it a lot. I've volunteered
a few places and it's definitely the
place that I've got the most out of,"
she says. "I think it's so needed."
Why? "SOCK is a place that re-
ally supports diversity and doesn't
necessarily always get it, but is def-
initely getting it out there and not
just, you know, ethnic diversity but
all kinds of diversity and I think
that is really cool," she explains.
Lauren volunteers at SOCK as
a youth mentor, as well as with a
new video program targeting at-
risk youth as a way to try to plug
them into something positive. Lau-
ten, who has only been involved
with SOCK this year, hopes to
become a professional video editor
after finishing school.
"IT'S COOL because it's some-
thing I know about anyway, so I can
teach people and it's just kind of a
positive thing all around," she says.
Working as a lifeguard for the
Shelton High School pool gave
her the chance to volunteer as a
lifeguard tbr a SOCK swimming
program over the summer. "That's
how I started reentering there,"
she explains.
One of the projects SOCK is
launchingwithinthevideo program
has participating youth recording
and editing footage of SOCK activ-
ities and then broadcasting it lo-
cally on Hood Canal Communica-
tions "so that people can see what
they're doing down at SOCK,"
Lauren says, "so that's really cool."
At this point the project hasn't
reached the editing stage, but the
main focus will be on showing
people how to edit, thcilitate and
direct a video production. Lauren
is helping by offering suggestions
on how to improve the program,
which is one she says she definite-
ly supports and endorses.
FOR CREDITtoward her senior
project this year, Lauren attended
a four-day film seminar called
Studio 101 at the Art Institute of
Seattle. "It was cool," she recalls,
describing it as "pretty 4ntensive."
Lauren also is working on com-
pleting basic college courses by at-
tending South Puget Sound Com-
munity College full time through
the Running Start program. Last
year she was a part-timeparticipant
in Running Start. She also belongs
to the service club at the college.
She manages to balance her
schedule and keep her grades high
enough to belong to the Shelton
High School chapter of National
Forest Fest
meeting set
The Mason County Forest Festi-
val planning committee will meet
at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, February 20,
at Godfather's Pizza in Shelton.
The committee meets every first
and third Tuesday to discuss mat-
ters related to the successful pre-
sentation of Forest Festival, which
is set for the weekend of June 1-3.
Volunteers are needed for numer-
ohs committee positions.
More information is available
by calling Lisa Fox at 426-3487.
RIGHT NOW, Lauren Orme is having fun helping with film
projects at Save Our County's Kids, where she also volun-
teers as a youth mentor. Once she graduates from Shelton
High School she plans to study language, media arts and

Honor Society. Her plan is to study
language at the UniversityofWash-
ington, though she hasn't received
confirmation of her acceptance at
the school. She hopes to be fluent
in Spanish and perhaps other lan-
guages before transferring to The
Evergreen State College and en-
rolling in the media program there
before moving on to film school.
"I'm really interested in lan-
guages and if anything didn't work
out with films, I might pursue an
interpreting job," she explains.
"IT WOULD BE really cool to
do cultural films, too. Definitely,
the kinds of films that I would be
interested in editing would be on
that end," she adds. "I don't really
want to stop at just learning Span-
ish, but I don't know how much I
can squeeze izl."
Lauren has already studied
a few years of Spanish and has
some experience volunteering as
a Spanish-language interpreter.
While she wants to study as many
languages as possible, she feels
she still has time to look this mat-
ter over before she has to make
any decisions.
Language skills run in her fam-
ily, too. Her mother, Leslie Orme,
is an English teacher at Shelton
High. Her father, Tad Orme, is
general manager for Titus-Will
Chevrolet Cadillac and Titus-Will
Hyundai in Thurston County.
Lauren knows she wants to be
fluent in Spanish before moving
on to film school, but she's not
yet sure about which film school
she will attend. She's considering
schools in California and British
Columbia, Canada.
For the time being, she is enjoy-
ing her job at Lynch Creek Floral.
"It's so cute in there! It's just a
very pleasant atmosphere to work
in," Lauren says.
