DAVE BUXTON (left) and Cheryl Gunselman, sophomores
at North Mason High School, were chosen to serve as pages
Feb. 20 during the legislative session in Olympia. They are
pictured above with one of this district's representatives,
Charles R. Savage. During the morning the students were
taken on a tour of the capitol. In the afternoon the page who
was to give them duties to perform did not show up so they
explored a little on their own and ran a few unofficial
errands. Local legislators choose one high school in their
district each year and invite the principal to send two
students to act as pages for one day. This was the first time
students from North Mason had been asked. Rudy Landram,
a sixth grader, served as an honorary page the following day,
a reward for his state championship in the Elks Hoop Shoot.
It is that time of year when
we start welcoming back our
neighbors .who have been
vacationing in the south.

California. Also the Campbells
who spent several weeks in
California; and Asmund and Leah
Rindal who took a four-month
vacation, mostly in southern
California, going on to Yuma,
Arizona and into Mexico.
Curtis and Betty Bell have jmt
returned from a three-week
vacation, this time traveling by
air. They spent a week at Leisure
World in Los Angeles, then flew
on to Mexico City, Oaxaco,
Taxed and Cuernacaca, Mexico,
where they saw the ruins of the
previous civilization, which Betty
says was their purpose in visiting
these towns. They attended a
solkloreca ballet and got in on a
Mexican fiesta complete with
fireworks. They especially
enjoyed the fresh fruit and
handcrafts, mainly the basketry
and weaving done by the Mexican
people.

Do you know how many
kinds of clams, birds, snakes,
frogs, moles, fish, shrimp, and so
on, may be found in the Hood
Canal area?
We do, thanks to a new
scientific book jmt issued by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The author is Marvin S.
Yoshinaka. Nancy J. Ellifrit is the
illustrator. Copies may be
obtained from the Field
Supervisor, U.S. Fish andWildlife
Service, P.O. Box 1487, Olympia,
WA 98507.
Title is "Hood Canal -
Priorities for Tomorrow." This
book is actually a special report
on the ecology aspects, natural
Canal is Lynch Cove, which
Yoshinaka says is the only
relatively undisturbed estuarine
marsh-mudflat shoreline
remaining in the eastern arm of
Hood Canal. Recently, he says,
destruction of a substantial
portion of this marsh resulted
from recent filling for recreational
development (Beard's Cove).
Land on the north side of
Lynch Cove at the mouth of the
Union River has been retained in
a natural state for recreational use
by the Washington Department of
Game.
The book has about 120
pages, including 17 fold-out maps
and illustrations. We intend to use
it as a reference in digging up
astonishing information about the
local wildlife, fishes, clams and
North Mason
and cultural resources, land and
water uses and me conflicts, and
guidelines for the conservation
and management of Hood Canal.
It is an environmentalist's
handbook. It was one of a
number of studies made after
numerous conservation
organizations, private
o rganizations, and citizens
expressed grave concern over
general environmental
degradation and the destruction
of tideland arid estuarine areas
which provide critical habitat for
the fish, shellfish and wildlife
resources of the nation.
The only area suggested for
preservation in this end of Hood

Otto Field and Nick Levko
reported seeing an otter
swimming up John's Creek last
week and reported it to the State
Game and Wildlife Department,
which they would like anyone to
do who sees an otter. They also
saw a bald eagle in the same area.
The Allyn Baptist Mission
Church is celebrating youth week
and Steve Cochran was nominated
as pastor for last Sunday while his
brother, Gene, taught a Sunday
School class, with the " adult
membership as the pupils.
Would like to welcome Mr.
and Mrs. Jack Worden to our
community, even though they
have been here several weeks,
having purchased a home on
Treasure Island.
Congratulations to another
Grapeviewite, Robert Battles,
who was recently married to
Apnmae Rutledge of Shelton.
• At the Eacrett home it was a
family get-together last weekend
when their son Ken accompanied
by wife Judy flew up from
Corona, California, on a business
trip. From Oak Harbor came son
Bob, wife Shirley and two
children, Mike and Steve.
Last week the Eacretts
attended three Oak Harbor ball
games of the district tournament
in Everett. Before returning home
they spent two nights with
granddaughter Lori and husband
Jack Gaddis in Seattle. They
took a tour of Pioneer Square and
were guests of Jack for lunch at
one of the restaurants there where
Jack is the chef.
Mr. and Mrs. Otto Field and
daughter Carrie drove down to
Kelso last Sunday to visit with
Joel and Pam Zehe.
Calling on Bill Sund and the
Jim Tobeys last Sunday were Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Sund of Tacoma,
Mrs. Peter Aagaard and son Pete
of Gig Harbor and Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Tobey of Elma.

weeks at Harrison Memorial

High ichool News
By BARB VAN BUSKIRK
To some students at North
Mason, algebra, geometry and
trigonometry are just math classes
that the non-math-minded
students would like to find a
reason for skipping. For some of
the more ambitious students these
classes hold nothing but interest.
On Mar. I1 the National High
School Mathematics Exam was
given to any student who wished
to take it. When the tests were
graded, Margy Cataldo had
received the highest score. Margy
is also this year's valedictorian.
Following right behind Margy
were two people who tied for
second. Unusual as it is to have a
tie for second place, it is even
more unusual for the two who
won it to have tied, for they are
sisters, Jackie and Marilyn Davis.
Jackie is a sophomore and
Marilyn is a senior. Another tie,
this time for third, was between
Tom Johnson and Todd Hauge,
senior and sophomore
respectively. All of the contenders
owe their interest in mathematics
to two of North Mason's finest
teachers, Mr. Ralph Butler and
Mrs. Maryanne Raines.
Returning soon to North
Mason is one of the most
mysterious acts ever to stand on
the NM stage. Apr. 8 at 8 p.m.
Merlin, the Man of 1,000
Mysteries, will appear on the stage
to, amaze you with feats of magic
and mysticism for only a small
fee. A renowned hypnotist,
magician and mind-reader, Merlin
visited Belfair a few years ago.
Tickets for this event, which no
man, woman or child would care
to miss, will be sold at the gate,
$2 for adults or $1.50 for
students. The Letterman's Club is
sponsoring the event.
Mr. Terry Haydon has
finished casting for the spring
production of the drama
department. "The Skeleton
Walks" will be presented May 21
for the school and community.
Taking part in the play are Mild
Smith as Dr. Fersig, Jo Testu as
Mrs. Hubbard the housekeeper,
Barb Van Buskirk as Mrs.
Hubbard's son Ollie, and Alene
Becket as Eileen. The part of
Anne will be played by Bradley
Nuszbaum, Bobby will be
portrayed by Jeff Hannan, Kinks
will be Sue Schauer, Bill will be
Matt Greenleaf, and Mrs.
Donahue will be expertly
portrayed by Debbie Burke.
People to help with work behind
the scenes are needed, so if you
can lend a helping hand contact
Mr. Haydon.
Mr. Universe is in no
immediate danger of losing his
title to anyone from Belfair but
North Mason's finest will present
their bodies for public approval at
the second annual North Mason
Mr. Universe Contest, Mar. 21.
The Letterman's Club sponsors
this annual event as initiation for
incoming candidates for the club.
With only one full month left
for preparation of the
Mother-Daughter Tea in May, the
crowd is getting restless for some
action to begin. Cathi Marsh, who
is chairwoman of the tea this
year, needs some help in getting
the tea off the ground.
Getting into a subway car
might have been better than
getting into the long, packed line
of people waiting to get in to the
spaghetti dinner. But once in, the
dinner, which was sponsored by
the Kiwanis Club, was well worth
waiting for, but probably gulped
down a little too fast.
Most people were hurrying to
get a good seat for the 1975
faculty play. Surprisingly, there
were enough seats to go around
for the 350-some attending. For
an hour, the audience anxiously
waited for the curtains to open,
and the play to go on. The staging
of M*A*S*H, a comedy, brought
much laughter from the audience.
Starring Mr. Gordon Lent, who
portrayed Captain Benjamin
Franklin Pierce (known
throughout the play as
"Hawkeye") and Mr. James
Taylor who played "The Duke
(Captain Augustus Bedford
Forrest), the cast carried out the
plot of a Mobile Army Surgical
Hospital cleverly through to the
end. Directed by Mr. Pete Merrill
(who portrayed the big General),
the group of 35 actors plus set
crew made this year's faculty play
a huge successs. The faculty will
use the proceeds for a scholarship
to a worthy senior graduating in
the class of '75.
