Highclimber Happenings:
This Crew is soph-spoken
By KELSY HOPKINS
On last Wednesday, September
5, a new set of 406 sophomores,
404 juniors and 436 seniors cel-
ebrated (and lamented) the begin-
ning of the 2007-8 school year at
Shelton High School.
About 50 of those experienced
seniors sported neon-green Climb-
er Crew Leader T-shirts bear-
ing the quote "Students Helping
Students Succeed" in an effort to
make themselves visible to sopho-
mores who had any questions or
concerns about their first day of
school. Climber Crew, now in its
third year as the Highclimber ver-
sion of the nationwide Link Crew
program, gives selected upper-
classmen the opportunity to wel-
come incoming students to their
high school'and share their own
tips and experiences with them.
Guided by leadership teacher
Vicki Sawyer, CSI (Climber Suc-
cess Inc.) coordinator Connie Da-
vidson, social studies teacher Bob
Marshall and counselor Susie
Wirzbicki, the members of Climb-
er Crew completed one two-hour
introductory session last June in
addition to two five-hour training
sessions in order to prepare for
sophomore orientation on August
30. This was a day of group ac-
tivities or "games with a purpose"
that were only interrupted for the
regular distribution of student
IDs, schedules and lockers.
THE CURRENT Climber
Crew Leaders will be assisting
sophomores and other new stu-
dents year-round, knowing that
their work will make a difference:
Schools with Link Crew programs
witness less hazing and deviance
as well as higher attendance and
student achievement than schools
without Link Crew. For now, the
Climber Crew seniors are focusing
on creating a positive atmosphere.
Says sophomore Shenelle King,
"On the first day, the Crew was
all over to...point us Isophomores]
to our classes. I really liked the
Crew, and the people were all nice
and never turned anyone away!"
Both new and former students
can make the most of'their experi-
ences at SHS by getting involved
in campus activities. The SItS Key
Club, a high-school branch of" the
Kiwanis, desperately needs new
members. During their Wednes-
day meetings at 2:30 p.m. in Room
415, Key Club memhers will be
discussing future/hnd-raisers and
community service events sup-
porting UNICEF, or the United
Nations International Children's
Emergency Fund, Fir Lane Health
and Rehabilitation Center, Mason
County Shelter tbr the homeless,
Puget Sound Blood Center, Ever-
green Elementary School," March
of Dimes, Mason County Literacy,
Relay For Life and SHS. Members
have the opportunity to attend the
district convention in Portland,

Recycling carts need elbow room
The City of Shelton's new dual
stream automated recycling pro-
gram has begun and the city has
announced the following details
to help the program continue
running smoothly.
Residents must set all contain-
ers, recycling and garbage, at
least three feet from each other
and from fences, posts and cars.
Mason County Garbage picks
up recycled materials, which in-
cludes cardboard that must be cut
to fit in the new 35-gallon carts. If
residents have large amounts of
cardboard, from moving or large
appliances, they may call Mason
County Garbage at 426-8729 and
schedule a pickup time.
Due to the large number of
residents participating in the re-
cycling program, there has been
a minor backlog in deliveries of
the new carts. For more informa-
tion about the program call Tracy
Farrell, the city's coordinator of
environmental projects, at 432-
5126.
