(Sr.), Patsy Sharer (~r.~, Debbie
Lisoskie (Intermediate Jr.), Laura
Russell (Intermediate-Jr.), Barbara
Ward (Intermediate-Jr.) Mary
Johns (Intermediate-Jr.), Elena
Johns (Beginner-Jr.). and Donna
LaClair (Beginner-Jr).. Red ribbon
winners were Vicki Kimbel (Sr.)
and Cheryl Bedell (Sr.).
In the Home Economics
judging contest, exhibits in foods,
knitting, clothing and home
improvement areas were judged
by 4-H'ers. After judging four
exhibits in each division, 4-It
leaders discussed the best
decisions with the contestants.

annon :olleen George Is
Horsewoman Of The Week
Shannon Colleen George is
two years old. She has been riding
since the age of six months. When
nine months of age, she was
forcibly removed from her horse
and temporarily grounded until
she learned to walk.
She first rode bareback,
sitting in front of her mother
whose mount is an
Arab-Quarterhorse mare almost
16 hands high. She learned the
"feel" of a horse and progressed
to riding, bareback and
unassisted, while the horse was
led.
Miss George is a fearless horse-
woman. She has ridden a total of
four full-sized horses in addition
to the Welsh gelding on which she
is pictured. Not until this summer
was she permitted to ride in a
saddle.
Shannon is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred George, both
enthusiastic riders. Her mother,
Melissa, is an accomplished
horsewoman, having studied
English equitation with emphasis
on jumping. Her home was at that
time in Seattle, and after four
years of lessons she herself
became a teacher of riding in the
Clearbrook Riding Academy,
where she won many ribbons.
Fred George is a Western rider,
and has ridden since early
childhood. Fred is employed by
Simpson Timber Co. and Melissa
works in the Save Rite Grocery
owned and operated by her
parents in the Skokomish Valley
Center.
Shannon's instruction, this
summer, has been for the most
part provided by her cousin, Tami
MacDonald, who supervises the
daily workouts on Cherokee, her
own Welsh loaned to Shannon for
her learning days. Very soon
Shannon will receive a Welsh pony
of her own.
The youthful equestrienne has
but one mishap - so far - to mar
her record. Three weeks ago her
instructor, leading the pony
briskly, glanced back to see an

Why must my garden constantly
Strive to make a fool of me?
My phlox sublata fails to creep;
It lies there in its bed, asleep.
My sorry, sick chrysanthemums
Deny the verdure of my thumbs.
I cannot figure out what ails
My trailing vine that never trails.
I confess that also I'm
Beset with climbers
that don't climb.

Some unknown and vicious virus
Ardently assails my iris.
A kind friend gaveto me his asters;
They are now but grim disasters.
I can but ask my neighbors' pardon
For this eye-sore I call "garden".
I think my next door

Prefer I left the neighborhood.

Standing in it, say, "Where is it?"
As Mary Morris was selecting
some very ripe bananas in a
grocery store she turned to a
fellow shopper and saidz./'These
are just right for Banana~}~atter!"
The lady had never heard of
Banana Butter, so Mary Morris
told her all about it.
"You should give the recipe
to the Journal," said the woman,
"I'11 bet nobody else knows about
Banana Butter either." And Mary
Morris did just that. She came
into the Journal office, willing to
share her recipe.
Born in Kansas and raised in
Oklahoma, she has lived in
Shelton for the past 28 years. Her
husband, Chester, is retired from
Simpson Plywood Mill, and they
have nine children, 29
grandchildren and six
great-grandchildren.

To view my efforts with a sneer.
It seems that they cannot resist a

They make collective mockery
Of my unpolished rockery.
They give a sort of funny chuckle
When they see my honeysuckle.
They haughtily
look down their noses
At my poor but honest roses.
One glance at my wisteria
And they are near hysteria.
Their attitudes are rather cold
Toward my humble marigold.
Some of them are most sarcastic,
Suggesting flowers made of plastic.

And someday when they
