OCS offers mentor program to help students to succeed Olympic College Shelton seeks volunteers for a mentoring pro- gram to help students who are in school to upgrade their work skills. Mickey Angello, WorkFirst mentoring specialist, notes that the program is geared to help low-wage-earning parents suc- ceed in their college classes• "Our program," she says, "is designed to help these individuals find success in career choice, training, employment and wage progression." And mentors, she adds, "can make the difference between success or failure in the life of a rising star." Experts, she says, agree that any effort to help the next genera- tion along must include mentor- ing. She quotes a recent News- week editorial as saying, "Of all the social ideas of the last 30 years, it's the only one that we know works. No one succeeds in America without some kind of mentor - parent, teacher, coach, friend - to offer guidance along the way." Angello is looking for people who enjoy being helpful, who like challenging (and sometimes fun) volunteer work, who have experi- ence to share and who are willing to team up with and be suppor- tive of students to help them reach their career goals. Meetings or conversations, half an hour to an hour a week, will give students guidance and en- couragement, Angello said. Men- tars are often "good buddies" who just listen when a student is over- whelmed, confused or anxious. Anyone interested in becoming a mentor, or who would like to refer a student for mentoring, can call her at 432-4538. More information, and forms for would-be mentors to fill out for matching with students, are available at the Olympic College Shelton office at North 13th and Alpine Way in Shelton. Abbey Theatre's production will showcase two Shelton thespians Two local talents will help Ab- bey Players in Olympia present the sixth and last in its series of "Magic" productions with "The Magic of Broadway Goes Holly- wood" this weekend. The show will be staged at the Washington Center for the Per- forming Arts Stage II. Shelton High School music teacher Kelley Morgan is co-direc- tor of the production. Morgan has five years of experience directing musicals and choirs at SHS, as Jan Murdock by Bill & Leslee McComb well as co-directing and being in•. valved with Olympia's "Babes with Big Hair" for three years. She's co-directing the "Magic" show with Michael Frasier, who has been involved in five of the "Magic of Broadway" shows for Abbey Players. He has directed six musicals in Olympia and Ta- coma. Another familiar Shelton face in the production is that of 1998 Kelley Morgan SHS graduate Jan Murdock, who was heavily involved in music and theatre during his high school years here. Murdock will leave in the spring for his mission with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is happy to have another theatrical experi- ence before he takes off, an Abbey Players spokesperson said. The show will feature Oscar- winning songs from comedies, dramas and animated movies, in- cluding Disney productions, from 1935 to 1997. Fifty-year reunion set for SHS '49 Shelton High School's Class of '49 is gearing up for its big 50th reunion bash. An organizational meeting to that end has been set for Tues- day, February 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the Shelton Athletic Club. For more information contact Harley Wivell at 426-2532 or Dorothy Selby at 877-0722. NO REGRETS There is a lot to be said for the man or woman who approaches the end of his or her days and has no regrets. Regardless of how oth- ers may judge a person's life, those who live theirs with no re- grets have the satisfaction of knowing that they moved ahead in accordance with their own needs and desires. The result is a life well lived. As the Roman poet Horace wrote: "He possesses do- minion over himself, and is happy, who can every day say, '1 have lived.' Tomorrow the heavenly Father may either involve the world in dark clouds, or cheer it with clear sunshine; he will not, however, render ineffectual the things which have already taken place." Death and funerals, two topics about which people seldom spoke, are not taboo anymore. As such, more people are pre-plan- ning their own funerals. Those who plan ahead can take comfort in knowing that, when the time comes, their loved ones will be relieved to have one less major decision to make at a most stress- ful time. The best way to be sure that your wishes will be carried out is to prearrange the plans with your funeral director. At McCOMB FUNERAL HOME, 703 Railroad Avenue West (426-4803), we'll work with you to be sure your wishes are honored.
