Harstine
By CARMEN YATES
This past week there has been
such a wide variety of things
going on that I am at a real loss to
know just which item to use for
my lead°story. Those choices
include: Saturday's litter pick-up
or the Yacht Club dance that
same day; then, too, there's the
Penny Drive which began May 1st
or perhaps this week's
Conmmnity Club meeting and
last, but not least, the island's
own first-place dance winners in
Olympia last Saturday evening.
So which one of those or
perhaps even others would you
pick if you were writing this
column? Oh heck, I just threw
them all in a hat and am now
pulling out.., let me see.., yes,
h er e we g o. The first place
dancers came to the top, like
cream on milk.
i.ast Saturday with nerves
a-twitter Roger Hammond and
Teresa Bingen headed for Seattle
and the Tyee High School in
particular. This is the first year
the Annual Pacific Northwest
Teen Square Dance Festival has
been held within the United
States. Previously this event has
always taken place in British
Columbia and on many occasions
before the Oueen of England.
Roger and Teresa worked
on their round dance routine and,
for their efforts and much
practice, they were richly
rewarded with a first place win in
the teenage contest. Altogether
they brought home to Shelton
blue ribbons, a large trophy
(which the dance club they
belong to, the Christmastown
Rounders, will keep on display
for one year) and an individual
trophy for both Roger and Teresa
to keep always.
The young couple was the
only entry in the dance festival
from Shelton to participate in the
contest.
Next item out of the hat: The
Spring Litter Pick-up Party. Last
Saturday three pickups, six adults
and seven young folk gathered at
the Community Hall to map a
course for cleaning up the island's
many miles of roads. One of the
pickups headed for the Hartstene
Pointe entrance gate and from
there with four youngsters headed
back towards the bridge. The
second pickup started at the
Community Hall and headed
south and then down the "low
road" to the bridge. The third
pickup proceeded south from the
mailbox corner in the center of
the island. Several hours later the
three pickups met and a picture
was taken of the total amount of
litter. Part of the total had been
gathered earlier in the week by a
mother and her two sons who
knew they wouldn't be able to
take part in Saturday's litter
party. The accumulation totaled
two very full pickups and a bit
less in the third. The recyclable
bottles and aluminum cans were
delivered to the sixth grade
project at Pioneer. Another date
will be set to clean up the five or
six side roads not covered last
Saturday.
What's next, hat? The Penny
Drive? Okay. The chairman of the
Orthopedic Penny Drive here on
the island is Hilda Williams and
for Picketing, Jessie Schroeder of
Phillips Lake. The
Pickering-Harstine Orthopedic
recently held a meeting at the
home of Eileen Cruickshank. At
that time an election of officers
was held with Grace Campbell,
president; Eileen Cruickshank,
secretary-treasurer being elected.
New members of the group
include Velma Lawrence, Ethel
Phillips and Edith Bowers of
Harstine and also Jessie Schroeder
of the Pickering gals.
Next? Let's have a report on
the dance sponsored by the
Shelton Yacht Club last Saturday
evening. Sometime ago the
Community Club was approached
by a committee from the Shelton
Yacht Club to rent the
Community Hall for a dance. The
arrangements were made and all
members of the club were invited
to attend as guests. The Shelton
Yacht Club was acting as host
club to Gig Harbor, Olympia and
Day Island of Tacoma.
Stormy weather with gusty
winds thwarted the best
intentions of the Day Island folk,
but otherwise there was a good
turnout for the dance. The terrific
music for dancing was provided
by the "Rhythmaires" of
Silverdale. The four-piece band
included an electric organ, drums,
a saxophone and a trombone.
(Bet it's been a long while since
the latter has been heard in ye old
ham)
An hour or two after the
dance was well underway a special
surprise announcement was made.
The surprise: an honorary dance
and special party for the
retirement of Dr. S. B. Furby and
THIS IS I~ART of the accumulation of litter which was collected along the
main roads on Harstine Island during a volunteer litter pick-up Saturday. •

Special invitation to
Community Club members was
