for gold in Alaska in the 1800s.
In a song called "Roll Out the
Parade," the performers related
that Seattle was considered the
gateway to the Klondike.
The audience learned that
families wanted to make a bet-
ter life for themselves and build
family security as well as find
their fortune by heading for the
Klondike. The play was written
by Bill Berry who is the producer
and director of the theater com-
pany. David Austin of New York
City wrote the musical score.
Performers for this production,
staged locally on March 26, were
Shanna Palmer, Dane Stokinger,
Casey Craig, Jason Kappus, Matt
Shimkus and R.J. Tancioco, who
is the group's pianist. The tour-
ing company will do 152 school
performances this year in Wash-
ington, Oregon and Idaho.
A grant written by eighth-
grade teacher Tricia Van Marter
enabled the students to see this
performance. The Associated
Student Body also assisted with
the cost of the performance. "We
are thrilled that our students
were able to see such a high-cali-
ber theater performance in our
own school," Mrs. Van Marter
said.

Grange near 100th year
Agate Grange welcomes new
members as it approaches its
100th anniversary with plans fbr
the future and thoughts about the
past.
Grange members meet on the
second Friday night of each month,
starting with a potluck at 6:30 and
a business meeting at 7:30. Mem-
bers are planning to host a commu-
nity class in cardiopulmonary re-
suscitation this year and will also
be working on disaster prepared-
ness, a community dinner in the
fhll and two sales: one next month
to benefit Save Our County's Kids
(SOCK) and another in October to
benefit families in the area during
the Christmas season.
The grange has been serving
the Agate area since the organiza-
tion was formed in 1909. There are
members who have been involved
in the grange movement for more
than 50 years.
Last year, Agate Grange was
busy with a lot of different func-
tions such as providing dictionar-
ies to all third-graders in Mason
County. Loren Mercer distributes
the dictionaries, which are pur-
chased with funds raised through-
out the year by the granges of Ma-
son County. This project is under
the umbrella of Pomona Grange,
which encompasses all of the
granges in the county.
ONE OF THE guest speakers
who addressed the grange last
year was Steve Anderson, a li-
censed practical nurse who talked
about the flu. Dan Bolender spoke
about the watershed and wetlands
in the Agate area. Adam Cain
gave a presentation on how to bet-
ter prepare for disaster.
Melanie Cain is chairing the
committee working on the Agate
Grange float in this year's Mason
County Forest Festival parade.
The grange is an annual partici-
pant in Forest Fest and the West-
ern Washington State Fair at
Puyallup. Last year, Wayne Miller
