Lois Pearsall
High School Spotlight
A seven-year resident of
Shelton is Lois Pearsall, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Pearsall.
She was born in Chehalis and her
birthday is November 17, 1953.
Her brother, Roy , is a freshman.
Lois likes the outdoors, and
she plans to attend either
Washington State University or
Olympic College to major in
forestry.
"1'11 settle for just about any
job that will keep me outdoors,"
she says, when contemplating a
career.
As a Shelton High School
senior she studies civics, office
practice, office machines, physical
science and bookkeeping. She was
co-president of the AFS as a
junior, and has for two years been
a member of the Science Club and
the German Club.
She has been active in 4-H
work for eight years, specializing
in home economies clothing and
food groups. As a jtmior leader
she assists in the organization of
various clubs.
In her freshman and
sophomore years she was a
member of the Order of the
Rainbow for Girls and she is a
member of the Episcopalean
Young Churchmen.
As a sophomore, as a junior
'and as a senior she has been a
Girls' Athletic Club member and a
member of Scarlet S. She holds a
GAA letter and participated in
girls' track in her sophomore year.
Hiking, swimming, water
skiing and snow skiing are her
hobbies, and a six-day hike was a
summer highlight. Fifteen
persons, each bearing a 30-pound
back-pack, began their trek at
Quinault, crossed the low divide
'and came out at Whiskey Bend.
"Lots of people do this," Lois
explains. "We met groups of Boy
Scouts and also entire families."
Many small animals were seen
as well as innumerable deer and
three black bears. The hikers
enjoyed both swimming and
sledding.
"Everyone should go on such
a hike," Lois Pearsall states, "to
see how lovely nature can be."
Girls To Convene
All girls in the Hood Canal
area between the ages of nine and
14 years who are interested in
joining Girl Scouts should attend
the meeting to be held Tuesday at
7:30 p.m. in the Hood Canal
School multi-purpose room.
Parents must accompany girls,
in order for them to sign up. A
one dollar dues assesment may be
paid at the time of enrollment.
Sarah Tostevin - school
teacher, newspaper woman,
author, mother, homemaker, Girl
Scout leader - has always found
time for handicrafts.
"I like to 'putter'," she
laughs.
Her 'puttering' has included,
over the years, almost every phase
of arts and crafts. Skilled and
experienced and thoroughly
qualified, she will instruct the
Christmas Workshop to be
sponsored by the Community
Library Association of which she
is a most active member.
Mrs. Tostevin and her
husband, Edwin, came to Shelton
two years ago to be near their
son, Dr. James Tostevin, his wife
and son Carl, their only grandson.
Born in South Dakota, Sarah
came with her family to Mandan,
N.D. in 1934. She taught school
on an Indian Reservation.
The Mandan Daily Pioneer
had been in the family of Edwin
D. Tostevin for 50 years. When he
and Sarah were married, Tostevin
was circulation manager, he and
his brother becom.ing
co-publishers upon the death of
their father.
Sarah, in 1935, began her
employment with the Mandan
Daily Pioneer as assistant to the
advertising manager, gradually
assuming other duties and
eventually heading the society
section.
During a war-shortage of
teachers, she was prevailed upon
to take over a small school
located five miles from town. Tire
and gas rationing, as well as
North Dakota winter weather,
made commuting impossible, and
no suitable living quarters were
provided. One meal a day was
available - at a price.
"Once," she reminisces, "we
were snowed in for four days, and
for two of them we had nothing
to eat but cookies."
She taught school for 11 years
before returning to the newspaper
on a part-time basis.
She recalls the terrific flood
of 1943 that inundated presses in
the basement.
"Our competitor, the
Bismarck Tribune," she says,
pfiblis~6"d~~FbF" ~s ~it~t~ we were
cleaned up. It took ten days to
clean the type and to get the
presses running."
Always keen competitors and

On September 28 at the city
commission meeting in the city
hall Mayor Frank Travis presented
to Bernadine Duffey, president of
the Soroptimist Club of Shelton,
the Golden Jubilee Certificate
earned by her group.
In celebration of their 50th
Anniversary, Soroptimist Clubs
throughout the world have spent
the past year working to attain
certain goals. The Shelton Club
met their goal by increasing club
membership by 25%, contributing
$5 per member to the Soroptimist
Foundation, having over 50%
attendance at district meeting,
and in service to youth, service to
the elderly, and public affairs.

often vicious enemies, yet the two
newspapers stood always ready to
help each other. Several years
later the Tribune had a
breakdown and the Pioneer
published for them.
In North Dakota, Sarah
Tostevin was active in the Girl
Scouts, and in both Church and
Salvation Army work.
As a grand finale to her
newspaper career, in 1964 Mrs.
Tostevin compiled and edited
"Mantani", a history of Mandan
and Morton County from 1738
until the time of writing. The
book was published by the
Mandan Chamber of Commerce.
"I needed a rest," she states.
The 11-room Tostevin home
in Mandan was sold, and family
treasures packed away or shared
fashioned of white felt lavish with
red sequin poinsettias. Sequins on
felt ornament a net table cloth.
Wall hangings, candle-holders,
card-holders, gifts and gadgets and
all sorts of pretties spring to
glittering life beneath her clever
fingers.
Complete instruction will be
given and patterns provided for
those who wish to participate in
the Christmas Workshop to be
conducted by Sarah Tostevin in
the Shelton Public Library where
various classes have already been
sponsored by the Community
Library Association.
Sessions will begin at 10 a.m.
on October 19, to be held for
four consecutive Tuesdays.

Sarah Tostevin can create
almost anything artistic. She once
made 398 Corsages as a Christmas
sale project. She makes novelties
of cones and of plastic foam; of
flowers and felt and sequins.
Her felt ornaments are three

and doves, bells and boots and

adorned the altar of the United
Methodist Church for the August
28 wedding of Frances Rice,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Raymond L. Rice, and Jan
Donaldson, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Blanton Donaldson, all of
Shelton.
Two hundred and fifty guests
witnessed the double ring
ceremony performed at 8 p.m. by
the Rev. William F. Andrews.
Lace covered the high neck
and extended down the front of
the white voile gown worn by the
bride. The four-inch cuffs were
covered with lace, and a white
bow accented the front of the
high waistline. Her veil was
shoulder-length, and her
Princess-style bouquet was
fashioned of pink carnations and
white gladioli.
The bride was given in
marriage by her father, and her
maid of honor was Karolee
Stevens who was attired in a
high-waisted dress of pink
flowered voile with a roll collar.
Pink garnet roses and white
pom-pons formed her colonial
bouquet.
In gowns identical to that of
Miss Stevens were bridesmaids
Ginger Brooks, Jody Engen and
Vicki Steinbrueck. Each carried a
single white carnation.
In street-length versions of the
bridesmaids' attire were candle
lighters Lisa Marahrens and
Martha Steinbom who wore
wristlets of garnet roses and
carnations.
Ron Landis was best man and
ushers were Wayne Robinson,
Mark Weston and Richard Rice,
brother of the bride. Miss Nancy
Swanson sang "Amazing Grace"
and "The Lord's Prayer". Mrs.
Mr. and Mrs. Jan Donaldson
Richard Morton was musician.
The mother of the bride
selected an aqua dress with
matching shoes, and the groom's
mother chose a beige jacket-dress
with brown shoes. Each wore a
corsage composed of a pink
carnation with garnet roses.
Church rooms were colorful
with pink gladioli and white
mums for the reception following
the ceremony. Four heart-shaped
cakes formed the base for the

Once upon a time in the city
of Rome there lived a lad whose
burning desire it was to become a
baseball player.
However, the poor man
matured to a height no more than
that of a batter's belt buckle, and
he was hopelessly nearsighted. His
distant vision was no good, either.
Although the little chap was a
difficult fellow to whom to pitch,
he never connected with the ball
unless some hapless hurler
accidentally struck his wavering
bat, and even then his fat little
legs failed to convey him to first
base ahead of even the slowest
throw.
With his many natural
qualifications, he turned to
umpiring and soon rose to the
dizziest pinnacles of his
profession.
Love then entered his life in
the hefty form of a female
softball player. She bought for him
