Congratulations to Barbara
Chambers, voted by the Girls
Club as Girl of the Month for
February, as Most School Spirit.
Barb has been active with spirit all
four years, having been a
cheerleader for two. She will be
among nine girls (of the months)
who will compete for Girl of the
Year, which will be announced at
the Mother-Daughter Tea in May.
She has joined Cathy Johansen,
cutest; Karen Schillinger, most
athletic; Barb Van Buskirk, most
likely to succeed; and Cheri
Yoest, best dressed.
Reminder: To all of you who
wish to purchase one of the best
books you will ever read, get into
the office today and either put $5
down or pay the full $10 for an
annual, because after 12:20 on
Friday no more orders will be
accepted.
A group of about I 1 students
and Humanities teacher Bill
Hawkins took an all-day field trip
Feb. l 1. The first scheduled stop
was at Providence Heights for an
interesting two-hour seminar in
the arts. A panel of six speakers
spoke on the place of the arts in
King County and the surrounding
area. After a stop for the hungrier
members of the group to shovel
down some food, the school van
headed towards Bellevue for a
stop at the Crockery Shed for an
explanation of various techniques
used when making pottery. The
Burien Art Gallery was the next
stop on the agenda for the
travelers. A converted house, the
art gallery held many artifacts
which captivated the interest of
the students.
With a little free time on their
hands the students were given
permission to divide into smaller
groups and explore the University
of Washington campus while
awaiting the hour of 7 p.m., at
which time the play the students
were to see would begin. The play
by Henrik Ibsen was a domestic
drama which "plumbs the
question of life-lie-vs-happiness."
The "Wild Duck" was presented
by University drama students at
the Showboat Theatre.
Vernon Dietrich, a Baptist
missionary from Bangkok,
Thailand, visited Mr. Pete Merrill's
current world problems class on
Feb. 10. He told of his stay in
Thailand, mainly about the
people, their culture and his life
there. Specifically, he mentioned
the large Chinese population there
and how they dominated the area.
They run the businesses, trade,
etc. Recently, the Thailand
government had an overthrow and
the northern part is in serious
danger of communists taking over
from the bordering country of
Laos.
Also visiting the same day was
Ms. Mildred Lovgren, who has
spent her entire life in the Orient.
Born to a missionary and his wife
in China, she left some years later
and now serves in Hang Kong.
Her father has been imprisoned
by communists for five years and
she was fortunate to be one of the
last few people out before they
started forbidding people to go
away. She is stationed at a
mission school where she teaches
the Bible to children. One fact
that she mentioned which many
Belfairites who take lots of space
for granted may be interested in:
in Hang Kong, there are over
4,000,000 people per 40 square
miles.
Mr. Pete Merrill, director of
the faculty play for this year,
says, "The pace will be picking
up," in regard to rehearsals for
"M*A*S*H." They still have one
month to go.
Notice: Seniors who did not
get around to ordering their caps
and gowns might now want to do
so, or end up wearing their
birthday suit to the ceremony.
For information, talk to Mr.
Merrill immediately.
Also, seven semester grades
have been averaged and from this
grade point and class rank are
available in the office to all
seniors. The class average for the
Class of 1975 is 2.329. The top
ten have also been determined.
They are: l. Marjorie Cataldo;
2. Lisa Kronquist; 3. Marilyn
Davis; 4. Barb Van Buskirk;
5. Ken Scott; 6. Dave Turner;
7. Jan Mottner; 8. Bob Blevins;
9. Alene Becket; 10. Steve
Marker.
Break-ins reported
in North Mason area
A lady's coat and a gun were
among items reported missing
after a break-in of the Old Belfair
Highway residence of Cathy
Cross, reported Feb. 10 to the
sheriff's office. Two cabins in
Alderwood Villa on South Shore
have been broken into. Sheriff's
deputies have been unable to
learn the names of the owners so
that they can be notified. On Feb.
l 0 the sheriff's department
received a call that a prowler was
inside Beifair Community Baptist
Church. There was evidence that
someone had entered but the
trespasser was gone when a
deputy arrived.

We squeaked by another
winter season without the high
flood tides coming knocking at
our door. And to make us feel
even better, we just received a
letter from Dr. R. J. Stewart,
Department of Geological
Sciences, University of
Washington•
Dr. Stewart tells us that the
shorelands of Hood Canal are not
slowly sinking, despite the sinkipg
feeling we sometimes have when
the mid-winter tides come surging
over our bulkhead. Geologic
surveys, the latest only last
summer, have established that the
Olympic Mountains are rising,
probably on a scale of a few
inches in thousands of years.
Hood Canal was not formed
by submerging land. Rather it was
scoured out by a series of glaciers
that pushed through these parts
during the Pleistocene times
starting about 40,000 years ago.
The last big glacier may have
pushed through Belfair from
10,000 to 13,000 years ago. All
the nice gravel we have around
here was dumped here by the
glaciers.
The Vashon glacier, which
pushed down through here about
18,000 years ago and stayed for
awhile, is thought to have dug
Hood Canal. The ice finally all
melted around 11,000 years ago.
The sea level dropped to around
its present location around
10,000 years ago. A likely story!
Just call us if you want to
have five recipes for cooking
'possums. The slow-moving
opossum was introduced in the
Northwest some years ago and
may soon be seen lurching down
the North Shore. Opossums kept
a number of Americans from
starving during the last big
depression in the 1930's.
Tex and Margaret Whitchurch
have recently returned from
White Deer, Texas, where they
attended the funeral of Margaret's
mother, Mrs. Belle Skivinksi, 88.
She is survived by her husband
and six daughters, five of whom
live in Texas, Margaret being the
only one in a far place.
A birthday celebration for
David Crosswhite, Belfair, was
held at the home of his daughter,
Dorothy (Mrs. James) Griffey,
• .mmmbo.qm~-imm*.lumt-.,tmBP,lID.,gml~,gn~-; .
Sunday in Allyn. Family, old
friends and neighbors assembled
for the party. One daughter, Wava
Yarey, came from Pleasanton,
California. Garland and Dean
Crosswhite from Belfair helped
out. Another daughter, Marie, was
in Palm Springs and unable to
make it. This year's party is a
pleasant change from last year's,
when David was in a rest home
and unable to walk. As a matter
of fact, he doesn't even remember
it. He seems to have crossed that
magic line and, this year, is a year
younger. David's birthday is
actually on the 19th but he got
the jump on. George W. by one
day, George having his celebration
on the 17th. Happy birthday!
