They accomplished that goal. The second point in mind was a Black Hills League championship. They did not achieve that milestone.

"Considering the fact that there were in excess of 200 schools participating, we feel we had a successful season." Six-time medalist Scott Barnard was chosen the '75 team captain. "I do feel that Shelton's baseball program will be on the rise in the near future," stated coach Harlan Buitenveld. "It is tough to hang in there when you go through a losing season but most of our kids gave it all they had." Dave Carlson, the All-League first baseman-pitcher, was voted the team's captain. Four of Bill Brickert's track members took home some honors. Marty Settle and Paul Mortensen were elected co-captains while Mortensen and Gary Nelson walked off with the inspirational award. This year's final banquet brought to a close one of Shelton High School's most successful seasons in athletics.

Shakespeare Few people have earned it more. His six-year coaching career at SHS has produced some incredible marks. At the completion of the '75 campaign, Hopp's netters had rung up 104 consecutive Black Hills League AA dual wins. His teams have tasted defeat at the hands of AAA schools and in state competition, but the BHL AA title has always stayed in Shelton during Hopp's tenure. When talking to Hopp you get the impression that the BHL title will remain here for some time to come. Losing Jack Frost, the number one seed in BHL circles two seasons back, was not a coach's dream. Hopp promptly brought along the likes of Dale Campagna, Wes S tockwell, Lincoln Miner, Jim Teberg, Paul Skipworth and the two super-frosh, Bruce Dorcy and Dave Wicken. "I see no reason that the SHS tennis program will not remain on top," stated the ever-optimistic Hopp. "The new facilities and school tradition will play a big part in future success stories at SHS."

This year's squad may have achieved more than a BHL title. It may have set a precedent that will go unmatched at the beautiful new northside campus. Rarely have so many young athletes wanted to protect something so close to them: the right to compete and be recognized as a part of their schoors functions. Not too many people were fortunate enough to view a team in the making. To those who were, it was evident that the girls were not out on a church social. Most of the 65-member squad members were there to support their initial goal: women do have a place in athletics. If you were to feed a computer and ask for the close-to-perfect attitude of an aspiring woman athlete, the name Connie Tuson would stand a chance of appearing, at least at the local level. "If I do not hurt after a race then I have not helped my team or school," states Tuson. Tuson is not a girl possessed with speed quicker-than-anyone's. She has had to work for any amount of success she has achieved. It is not uncommon for her to run 4-7 miles daily. The long-striding senior was whipped soundly several times this past season. Her remedy? Work harder the next week. Vivacious enough to ride to school with anyone, the Green River College-bound girl will sometimes choose to run from her Island Lake home. The grubby red sweats and polka-dot bandana have left a mark at SHS. Her sixth place finish at the state meet capped a highly-successful career at SHS. Betty Andrews, the hard-luck miler and half-miler, graduates along with Karen Martin, the discus thrower. These two girls played a big role for Judy Keeley's sub-district champs of '75. Keeley is optimistic about her 1976 title chances. She should be. Nancy Lemagie, second in the 220 and sixth in the long jump at the state meet, will be returning. So will Kristi Manke, a fourth-lMace finisher in the 80-yard low hurdles at state. Carol Knight, the vastly-improved high jumper, will be only a junior next year. Sharee Franklin, school record holder in the shotput, will return for her final year. Jenny Cross, the relay and javelin girl, will be in her last year. Coach Rich Catty at Shelton Junior High is reported to have one of the better distance runners around. Francie Nelson, a freshman next year, is said to be running extremely fast varsity times right now. If so, Keeley's optimistic outlook for '76 could be warranted. What to do about water that tastes bad or that you're not sure is pure when traveling or on a camping trip? The following came from a reader and is worth passing on, minus quotes. One teaspoon of clorox will purify 10 gallons of water. Give the clorox time to do its work, an hour or so. We fill our tank through a funnel made from a clorox jug over which we stretch (rather pushed partly in) a handi-wipe or some such. This we do only if we are doubtful about the water. It takes the chunks out. Be sure to put the clorox in your tank first so it will get well mixed. Next buy a water purifier, which is a misnomer, for such a gadget doesn't really purify. It filters clean. Get the kind that uses a charcoal cartridge. The filter takes out all the clorox and other things and out comes sparkling clean, pure, good water. We made an initial mistake of filtering all the water that comes through the sink faucet. The cartridge clogged up. in about six months. The way to go is to buy a little separate faucet for three or four dollars at any trailer supply and run the filter through the faucet only. You don't need to filter the clorox and other tastes from dishwater, for instance. These cartridges cost about eight dollars. The one in our trailer has been in about two years and is still going strong. It took us about two years to figure out this water bit, but since then, whether deep into Mexico, in the backwoods of Canada or the U.S., or anywhere where water is often safe but lousy tasting, we have had no problems with water. This system works great in camper, trailer or motorhome. It will also work if you're tent camping. Thanks to this reader, who signed his letter only "A Fellow Explorer." If other readers have tips on the outdoors they'd like to pass on, I'd be glad to hear them. One of the best pieces of advice on how to catch summer-run steelhead has nothing to do with type of gear or bait, but with time of day. "Be out on the river early in the morning, before the sun shows above the hills or trees," is how one of the best'steelheaders I know put it. Summer steelhead, living as they do in waters thai are often low and clear, are one of the spookiest of our fish. They are a lot more apt to take your bait or lure early, before the sun starts beating down on a stream. The fish head for cover then. A strip of magnetic tape along the gunwale of your boat can be a big help in keeping hooks, lures or flies handy. Sometimes a bite is fast and furious, but only lasts for a short while. If you break off or want to change gear during a time like this, it hurts to waste time pawing through a tackle box or even your pants or shirt pockets for an envelope with a new leader. In the case of salmon fishing, a leader in its envelope will stick to the tape. If you're fishing a lake and don't want to put a wet fly or plug back into your tackle box when you change, leave it on the tape until il dries. Flies, hooks, pre-tied leaders will stick on the tape and be ready for use despite wind or motion of the boat.

Brickert got both wishes as his crew waltzed to its sixth straight Black Hills League title plus the Tumwater Invitational, sub-district and district chalnpionships.. The ninth-place finish at the state meet was somewhat of a disappointment, considering some coaches and writers felt the Highclimbers could have taken it all. The phenomenal development of this year's squad got going early. Dan and Dave Johnson, the sophomore identical twin brother distance running combo, sent a big crowd home buzzing in their first varsity competition ever. The smooth-striding sophomores tripped off a 4:33.6 mile to dead heat against Timberline at Highclimber Stadium. As a matter of fact, the next three races they ran could not produce more than one foot separating them at the tape. They did put some life back into the distance races at SHS. Walt Clayton's pole vaulters were not clearing 10 feet at season's start. Charley Shugart, the freshman, and Doug Kingery, sophomore, both cleared 12 feet before the '75 campaign was over. Brian Martin, the freshman high jumper, has developed at a much faster pace than expected. The first year leaper reached a personal high of 6'1" at the district meet to qualify for the state meet at Pullman. Although he did not place at state, Martin, according to coaches, has a good future ahead of him. Thai is part of the optimistic view shared by most when thinking of the "76 season. Brickert's state champion mile relay team will lose all four runners through graduation. Paul James, Gary Nelson, Paul shotput throw. He missed it by 5½ inches with a 59'6½" throw at the sub-district meet. He dropped off at the state meet with a third-place ribbon in the shotput. He did not qualify in his other specialty, the discus. Brickert will have to hunt for another javelin thrower. His three-year spear-chucker, Del Miller, graduates but takes with him a school record 197'4'" throw. Gary Nelson, the 220, relay and long jump performer, will also be gone. Nelson had his best year, climaxed by a sizzling relay performance at the state meet. When evaluating the 1976 Highclimber runners, you get the feeling that Brickert will unleash another Dan or Dave Johnson or Shugart or Kingery. Whoever he does come up with will have a tough act to follow. 40,000 MILE TIRES BUILT FOR NEW 1975 CARS THE TIRE THAT KEEPS ITS FEET EVEN IN THE RAIN These Goodyear steel belted ra- dials (1) save money, (2} use less fuel, (3} provide longer mileage, and (4} help conserve America's resources.

Mortensen and Settle have been battling each other for the past three seasons, especially in the 440. This, their last year, was no different. Settle streaked to a state-leading 50.1 in sub-district. Mortensen was right with him at 50.2. Ironically, Settle did not qualify at the state meet while Mortensen brought home the third place ribbon. Joe Schab, the junior hurdler, also progressed at a quick rate. His pre-season goal of breaking Tony Molinero's school record of 19.9 for the 180-yard low hurdles will have to wait for another year. ltis wind-aided 20.1 and non-wind-aided 20.2 do put him within striking distance, however. Jeff Pill, the junior weightman, almost achieved his goal for the year - a 60-foot The Shelton Athletics took two games from Manke and Sons of Shelton last Thursday in a non-league double-header that saw pitching and defense dominate throughout. The A's won the opener 4-2, and the nightcap 2-1 in eight innings. Tom Fredson's pair of run-scoring singles keyed the first game offense, while Mike Mills added two singles, as the A's collected 10 hits. Fredson limited Manke to three hits, including win Mike Nutt's long home run. The second game, with Mike Nutt for Manke and Duane Wilson for the A's capably handling the mound duties, went eight innings, before Fredson scored on Mark Jensen's infield hit. Wilson finished with a three-hitter and eight strikeouts, while Nutt fanned nine.
