Shay Day
Friday will be an important and his-
toric day in Shelton as the community
celebrates Shay Day and the moving of
the Shay locomotive up Railroad Avenue
to its site as tt local monument in Brewer
Park. It also marks the start of the
Forest Festival season.
It probably will be the last time a
lokie travels along this historic street
as lokies did regularly from 1884 until
1948. This. year marks the 75th anni-
veruary of 'railroading in Mason County.
We are proud o Railroad Superin-
tendent Purl Jemison and his crew who
will handle the movilag chores. Watching
them lay track along Railroad Avenue
will bring back fond memories of days
gone by.

Citizen's Group
Making Study
Of Looal Schools
Recently a Citizens' .dvisory
Committee was appointed by 'the
Shelton School Board and one sec-
tion Of this committee is making
a thorough study of the District's
building and financial needs. In
an effort to become thoroughly
acquainted with the buildings now
in use, the following sub-commit-
tee Inembe made a tour of each
building on April 7th and 8th:
Robert Kieburtz, chairman, Mrs.
W. B. Judah, Jim Barrom, Don
Brown, Freeman Felt, Frank Mar-
anville and R. W. Oltxnan.
After observation and discussion
with the various principals, the
committee bectinte aware o the
satisfactory, as well as the unsat-
isfactory, building areas on the
Junior and Senior High School lev-
el. The Irene S. Reed High School
and the Junior High School are
both inadequate in almost every
respect. The rooms are small,
poorly lighted and generally over-
crowded. Both buildings were
planned for a certain number of
students but that number didn't
anticipate the expanding enroll-
tent both schools have faced in
recent years and, more particu-
larly, the bulge that is entering
the'seventh grade in September,
1959.
The Grant C. Angle Building is
considered very good,®bttt houses
only certain departments, inch)d-
ing home economics, industrial
arts, mnsie, conlnlercia] slid phys-
ical education.
THE PR.ESENT enrollment for
the two schools, including grades
seven through twelve, is an even
twelve hundred. In 1959-60 that
number will rise to about thir-
teen hundred. By 1963 or 1964
there will be approximately fifteen
hundred fifty These figures are
based on the present population
in this area and do not take into
account any industrial expansion
which might cause a Sharp re-
vision upward.
Classrooms and general building
facilities are needed immediately
for these added students" and the
cooperative effort of the Advisory
Committee and School Board will
work toward this ehd.
The over-all problem bec0mbs
increasingly complicated when
space for and possibilities of ex-
pansion of the present Junior nd
Senior High buildings are consid-
ered. The High School building,
located a(t constructed as it is,
cannot be expanded The Junior
High, because of its location and
general p I an of construction
makes Rpi*nsion possible but such'
expansion might not be feasible.

the Shay locomotive up Railroad Avenue
to its site as tt local monument in Brewer
Park. It also marks the start of the
Forest Festival season.
It probably will be the last time a
lokie travels along this historic street
as lokies did regularly from 1884 until
1948. This. year marks the 75th anni-
veruary of 'railroading in Mason County.
We are proud o Railroad Superin-
tendent Purl Jemison and his crew who
will handle the movilag chores. Watching
them lay track along Railroad Avenue
will bring back fond memories of days
gone by.

Citizen's Group
Making Study
Of Looal Schools
Recently a Citizens' .dvisory
Committee was appointed by 'the
Shelton School Board and one sec-
tion Of this committee is making
a thorough study of the District's
building and financial needs. In
an effort to become thoroughly
acquainted with the buildings now
in use, the following sub-commit-
tee Inembe made a tour of each
building on April 7th and 8th:
Robert Kieburtz, chairman, Mrs.
W. B. Judah, Jim Barrom, Don
Brown, Freeman Felt, Frank Mar-
anville and R. W. Oltxnan.
After observation and discussion
with the various principals, the
committee bectinte aware o the
satisfactory, as well as the unsat-
isfactory, building areas on the
Junior and Senior High School lev-
el. The Irene S. Reed High School
and the Junior High School are
both inadequate in almost every
respect. The rooms are small,
poorly lighted and generally over-
crowded. Both buildings were
planned for a certain number of
students but that number didn't
anticipate the expanding enroll-
tent both schools have faced in
recent years and, more particu-
larly, the bulge that is entering
the'seventh grade in September,
1959.
The Grant C. Angle Building is
considered very good,®bttt houses
only certain departments, inch)d-
ing home economics, industrial
arts, mnsie, conlnlercia] slid phys-
ical education.
THE PR.ESENT enrollment for
the two schools, including grades
seven through twelve, is an even
twelve hundred. In 1959-60 that
number will rise to about thir-
teen hundred. By 1963 or 1964
there will be approximately fifteen
hundred fifty These figures are
based on the present population
in this area and do not take into
account any industrial expansion
which might cause a Sharp re-
vision upward.
Classrooms and general building
facilities are needed immediately
for these added students" and the
cooperative effort of the Advisory
Committee and School Board will
work toward this ehd.
The over-all problem bec0mbs
increasingly complicated when
space for and possibilities of ex-
pansion of the present Junior nd
Senior High buildings are consid-
ered. The High School building,
located a(t constructed as it is,
cannot be expanded The Junior
High, because of its location and
general p I an of construction
makes Rpi*nsion possible but such'
expansion might not be feasible.

Shelton, located in the land of
