A conspiracy seemed to be
taking place at the Pioneer School

groups of youngsters huddled
together in rooms, on the grounds
and in the hallways. But a close
observer would have noted that

all of her fourth graders were late
getting back to class after the
recess. A message was delivered
for her to go to the "gym". There
several of the children were
waiting and ready above the door
to bombard her with a colorful
array of balloons. The guest of
honor was rendered speechless as

Proposed plans for designating
portions of U.S. Highway 101
from the Cole Road Interchange
to the North Shelton Interchange
as a limited access highway, will
be discussed at an access hearing
June 11.
The proposed limited access
highway facility will be discussed
during the public hearing at 9
a.m., in the Evergreen Elementary
School Auditorium at Eighth and
Pine Streets in Shelton.
It is the purpose of the
hearing to provide for the fullest
exchange of information possible
regarding the effect on the
community of the project being
considered, through full
discussion and examination of the
planning.
The contemplated access
section begins at a connection
with existing U.S. 101 in the
vicinity of an interchange with
Cole Road just east of Isabella
Lake and extends northwesterly
to an interchange with the
Matlock Road just west of the
west corporate limits of Shelton.
It then extends northerly to
reconnect with the existing U.S.
101 at the
Interchange.

City Asks Those Not
Counted To Get On Roll
The Shelton City Commission
this week asked that anyone in
the city who was not counted in
the 1970 census in April contact
city hall to make sure they are
included.
The commission action came
after a letter from the Association
of Washington Cities suggesting
this be done was read.
Certail~ state revenues ale
allocated to cities on the basis of
population, and, every resident in
the city who is not counted in the
census means the city gets tess
money in these allocations.
The state will use the 1970
census figures unless the city
takes some action to see that
those who were not counted in
tire census are included.
A representative of a sign
company appeared at the meeting
to ask the con}mission's
permission to contact local
businesses about sponsoring signs
to be placed near parks and
schools which warn motorists
"'Slow .... Children".
tie stated the signs would be
donated by the businesses and
would be turned over to the city
for placement where the Police
Department thought they were
needed.

classes, the fourth, the fifth and
the sixth. Had this been a college
rather than a grade school, the
way things are going these days,
the faculty might have well feared
a protest or at least a
demonstration was in the offing.
Perhaps what the students
were planning might have even
fallen under the heading of a
demonstration at that-a
demonstration of love! For this
group of about 100 students were
planning a surprise party to honor
a teacher, most of them had shared
during the past three years, with a
retirement party. Taking the
room mothers into their
confidence to help make the calls
for the refreshments the students
themselves made all the plans.
A date and time was set, May
20 right after the afternoon
recess. Not one child spilled the
beans and Mrs. AIin Ambrose
she gazed around the decorated
"gym" from its large group of
pleased and happy students to a
table loaded with refreshments
and the decorations done by the
youngsters.
At the request of the room
mothers, the cupcakes were
delivered that morning unfrosted
and taken to Codg Brooks who
took them home and decorated
them before the festivities were to
begin.
A specially decorated cake for
her to take home featured a
sleepy bear in a nightcap carrying
a lantern and was inscribed,
"Retiring? We'll sure miss you."
One of the room mothers,
Mrs. Peggy Schouviller, had made
two large paper mache birds for
the centerpiece and also a big
bumble bee pinata.
Each of elates gave her agift~"

corsage.
As a grand finale Mrs.
Ambrose was handed a baseball Attorney Nomed
bat with which to inflict a For ..,, .rhoml',ers
damaging blow to the lovely black
and yellow bumble bee in the
traditional fashion. As the
contents spilled to the floor so
did the youngsters, in one big
heap !
Reflecting back on the earlier
hours of the day Mrs. Ambrose
said she sure had never suspected
what those kids were up to, only
that she sure hadn't been able to
get her class to concentrate on
what whe was trying to get across
very well that day. A little
annoyed she laid their lack of
enthusiasm to the good weather
and the fast approaching summer
vacation never dreaming what
they were really up to!
