From 6 to 8 p.m. on May 18, there will be a Spaghetti Din- ner and Auction at Oakland Bay Junior High. The live auc- tion will have donations from the community up for bid.

Sign-up dates for the pro- gram are from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 16 and June 23 at the Shelton library. The first practice is scheduled for Aug. 16. Breaking an unfair reputation rior to taking this job with the Shelton- Mason County Journal, I d never really been to Shelton and I didn't know much about the school or the sports program. As far as I can remember, Timberline only played Shelton once while I was in high school and I didn't go to the game, but know that the Blazers won. Since taking this job, I've heard from old Timberline teach- ers, my siblings who also gradu- ated from Timberline and some friends. All of these people have an idea of She]ton and Highclimb- ers athletics that I don't think is fair to the school. I've heard everything from, By EMILY "There are sports teams in Shel- HANSON ton?" to, "Those hicks lose every- thing," to, "We played Shelton once and people threw rocks at the bus as we left town," to, "Those Highclimbers play dirty." I don't know how true any of these statements are of the past athletic program at Shelton High School but I can say one definitive statement re- garding all of them. None of those statements are true about the athletic program at SHS now. In the last eight months, I have seen nothing but good sportsmanship from the Highclimbers regardless of the score of the game, whether they were winning or losing or how poorly their oppo- nents were behaving. The people in the community have not so much as heckled opposing teams, choosing instead to fo- cus on supporting the Highclimbers. There are definitely teams that are not always the most successful, the teams do improve as their seasons progress, but the athletes do keep trying, regardless of how the team is doing. As for whether or not the "Shelton hicks" lose everything, I don't really see Shelton natives as a bunch of hicks and the Highclimbers certainly do not lose everything. As far as I can tell, the reputation that the Highclimbers have earned is unfair to the school in general and the athletic program in particular. I know it can take a long time to break precon- ceived notions others make but I want to applaud the SHS athletic program for being a class act this year, as I'm sure it has been for years already.
