ARJORIE PENN has enjoyed studying at CHOICE Alter-
native High School, as well as participating in activities
with the Squaxin Island Tribe.
High School Spotlight:
Marjorie to major
in photography
By REBECCA WELLS
Capturing images of people and
eagles in the frame of a camera
lens is something Marjorie Penn
enjoys so much she wants to do it
for a living.
"I like taking pictures and I like
being outside," she says.
So far, some of her photography
has been published in the news-
paper of the Squaxin Island Tribe.
She worked for the publication
last summer and was responsible
for photographing all of the sum-
mer employees.
Marjorie has worked for the
tribe for four years now, first in
the tribal center office and then
in the Squaxin Island Museum
before working at the newspaper.
Besides taking pictures at the
newspaper, she's also able to help
her boss select pictures to run in
the paper, as well as help arrange
the birthday list and lend a hand
in the labeling and distribution of
the papers.
SHE ENJOYS belonging to the
Squaxin Isl0nd Tribe, because ev-
eryone in the tightly knit commu-
nity knows everyone else and both
her father and grandfather serve
on the tribal council. She is the
daughter of Vicki and Tully Kru-
ger. Until she turned 17, Marjorie
played basketball for the tribal
team, which caps its age limit at
16.
She also participates in the
tribe's annual canoe journeys
and has taken part in just about
every trip the cano pullers have
taken except for when the group
traveled to Canada. "It's fun. I get
to see relatives, and friends and
drum and sing, go out on the wa-
ter," she says.
While she doesn't help pull the
canoe, she provides cultural sup-
port by performing traditional
songs and dances and making
necklaces and paraphernalia for
their celebrations. Marjorie also
assists with the grounds crew. "It's
fun. I have a lot of fun. I like being
outside a lot and I love camping,"
she adds.
Marjorie has also been involved
m community service at CHOICE
Alternative High School. Through
a leadership class, she helped
organize a Halloween haunted
house for neighborhood children
and the winter celebration, which
was also open to the community.
She has also contributed to the
school's literary magazine and
yearbook.
SHE WILL graduate with
her senior class tomorrow. From
there, she is thinking about study-
ing photography at either The Ev-
ergreen State College in Olympia
or perhaps at a community college
if she can enroll in photography.
Either way, staying close to home
appeals to her for the time being.
For her cumulative senior proj-
ect, she coordinated a barbecue
at the beginning of the school
year and has now been in charge
of scheduling an end-of-the-year
barbecue, featuring food and ac-
tivities for everyone at the school.
It is her responsibility to keep a
notebook to track expenses and
make sure all of the necessary
supplies are provided.
Marjorie has attended alter-
native schools in Shelton since
the eighth grade, following the
example of her big sister Kristin
Penn. The faculty and personnel
at CHOICE are what she appreci-
ates most about the school.
"They can help you out with
stuff and you don't have to wait
to get help," she explains. "Every-
body knows everybody's classes
and you don't feel left out."
