Kathy Jones Plans
As English Riding Teacher
In a riding school at
Sommerset, 1 75 miles from
London, England, Shelton High
School senior Kathy Jones will
next year study to obtain her
BHSAI license.
The initials stand for British
Horse Society Assistant
Instructor, and Kathy will
concentrate on dressage and
jumping.
"All phases of horsemanship
will be covered in the year
course," she explains, "and this
will include training and the
treatment of minor ailments of the
horse."
Kathy, the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Alfred Jones, lives on a
240 acre ranch that has been in
the family since Washington was a
territory. It was purchased and
clearing begun in 1888. Here she
has always lived except for a
six-month period in Washington,
D.C. when her Navy-employed
father was there on duty.
Miss Jones was born in a
hospital in Bremerton on January
13, 1954. She has three brothers,
Fred, a SHS graduate, Eddie, a
sophomore, and Larry, a
seventh-grader. Fred is the only
family member who does not
ride.
Her mother, Doris, rides
"Quite-A-Step" a registered
chestnut quarterhorse mare whose
spring foal was a fine filly. Eddie's
mount is "Zipper" , a registered
quarterhorse gelding. Dad rides a
part quarterhorse gelding, and
Larry's pony, "Mandy", is Welch
and quarterhorse. The family owns
a total of eight horses.
A purebred Arabian gelding,
whose name, "Gamil-Azib,"
means "Beautiful Batchelor" was
awarded to Kathy two years ago
in the 4-H mare-and-foal project.
Now a three-year-old, he is
trained and ridden by Kathy.
"He's doing real well," she
says.
"Osage Midge" is Kathy's
registeredquarterhorse mare.
When Miss Jones departs for
England after her graduation, the
Arab will be sold.
"We'll keep "Midge", Kathy
Club, Miss Jones participates in
trail rides and in performance
shows. She is not interested in
gaming her horses.
Kathy, her family, her friends
all enjoy the many miles of trails
on the Jones ranch. It is possible
to ride from the Jones home to
Grapeview or to Timber Lakes
without traveling on a road.
Family members have
amassed many trophies awarded
for miles ridden on the trails.
Kathy , in addition, won junior
high point trophy in the 1968
Mason County Fair.
Her school interests include
Science Club and Pep Club, and
she is a member of Honor
Society. She tikes all outdoor
activities, especially hiking. She
enjoys boating and salmon
fishing, and she is fond of all
animals.
Most of the work involved in
the care of the family horses is
done by Kathy, who boasts
another accomplishment not
common to the average girl of
today. She can, and frequently
does, milk the family cow.
Already well on her way to
her chosen career, Kathy Jones
instructs two riding pupils.
Garden Clean-Up
Time Approaches
Check the wooden handles of
your garden tools for tightness
and for splits and splinters. Loose
handles can cause accidents and
splinters in the fingers are not
exactly comfortable.
Be sure to clean up
thoroughly around the vegetable
garden. Overwintering insect eggs
can make'a great deal of trouble
when they hatch next spring.
Burning all refuse from useful
vegetables helps cut the" insect
population.
JOURNALISM IS literature in
a hurry.
Matthew Arnold
OC
Many are the reasons for the
sudden graying of a mother's hair,
and not the least of these are the
secret rehearsals for a backyard
circus.
When her seven-and-a-half-
year-old daughter Brenda and her
friends got tired of swimming in
Island Lake and deserted the
beach in front of her home for
somewhat noisy sessions behind
the barricaded doors of the family
garage, Mrs. Harold Wilson
checked frequently to determine
just what the kids were up to. But
activities ceased at the sound of
,her approaching footsteps.
"It's a good thing I didn't
PERFORMERS IN THE backyard circus that benefited the Children's
Orthopedic Hospital are, left to right, Sonya Klokkevold, Human Fly Steve
Swearingen, Ringmaster and puppeteer Greg Starr, and Brenda Wilson. The
versatile young ladies appeared in numerous roles.

know exactly what they were
practicing," Brenda's mother
admits. "I'd have had a heart
attack."
After two weeks of daily
work, the show premiered in the
Wilson garage on the evening of
August 27. Tickets were sold at
the door to raise funds for the
Children's Orthopedic Hospital in
Seattle, and the sum was
augmented by the vigorous
hawking of popcorn and
lemonade during intermission.
Ringmaster Greg Starr, a
nine-year-old with imagination,
manipulated Raggedy Ann and
Raggedy Andy dolls in true
Punch-and-Judy fashion to the
tune of quick and clever patter.
The not-so-wild animal acts
were presented by
eigh t-a n d-a-half-year-old Sonya
Klokkevold and her speaking
Chihuahua, Poncho and by
Brenda Wilson who persuaded her
wirehaired terrier, Penney, to sit
up.
The same two young ladies,
both members of the Mason
County Robinettes, appeared in
solo baton twirling exhibitions
and later, with a change of
costume, posed and pirouetted
ballerina-style on high-swinging
ropes.

The grande finale came as a
complete surprise to the already
badly-shaken parents and
neighbors when Steve Swearingen,
from a hiding place high in the
dark recesses of the ceiling, came
swooping down, black-caped, to
soar hand-over-hand from rafter
to rafter as the Human Fly.
On September 8 a repeat
performance was given before the
Rainier Orthopedic Guild, of
which Mrs. Wilson is a member.
The children presented to the
guild the happily-earned total of
thirteen dollars and fourteen
cents.

Kathy has been riding for
approximately 12 years. Her first
mount was a 13-and-a-half hand
cayuse mare from whom she
raised a filly.
