Reed High School in Shelton. Image courtesy of the Mason County Historical Musuem A glimpse into high school life he following items are from the TOctober and November issues of the 1952 Irene S. Reed High School weekly newspaper called The Saghalie. . The mirror in the boys’ lavatory had disappeared and would not be re- placed until “those responsible report to the janitor. The loss of the mirror has already inconvenienced many.” With Halloween coming up, Mr. Hermes, school principal, put out the word that “High school students have had a good record on this count for several years. Keep it that way. Don’t get} some mark against you that may hurt in later years.” From the Editor’s Weekly Column: “Which of the following would you like to do most and least? Be a cook, start , an art museum or start an orchestra? No, I’m not going crazy. This is just an excerpt from the Kudor Vocational Preference Test, which is being given to all seniors by Mr. Packard.” Late in October, the homecoming committee was making plans for special activi- ties for Nov. 6 and 7. “Stunt Night,” on Thursday, would begin with an assembly in the auditorium. Enter- tainment would include three skits and “loads of various other talent by both alumni and students.” Following the assembly, therewould be a pep rally in the vacant lot at the corner of Railroad and Fifth, where an ef- figy of the Chehalis Bobcat — mas— cot of the Highclimbers’ opponent in the homecoming game — would be burned in the traditional bonfire. The high school marching band would be featured at halftime of the game on Friday night, and the Pep Club was sponsoring a dance to be held after the game. Twenty members of the football team’s ‘fA squad” attended the Uni- versity of Washington vs. California game in Seattle on Nov. 8. The trip included lunch aboard the Coast ' Guard cutter “Bering Strait” -— the ship on which teacher Emmett Oli- ver had served during his time in the service. Tickets for the game had been provided by local merchants. In mid-November, several students participated in the 21-hour search for a US Navy plane that had crashed in the upper regions of the Skokom- ish Valley. The search was impeded by rain, snow and fog, as well as the jagged steepness of the hills. High school junior Roger Salmi told the Sa— ghalie that “inmany parts of the hills it was so steep that we had to crawl on our hands and knees.” A group of in1952 ass Wtfiififig HISTORY AT A‘ GLANCE Navy personnel eventually found the wreckage and recovered the, bodies of all 11 crewmen. i In the annual Thanksgiving Basket drive, the Boys and Girls Clubs col- lected enough food to fill 35 baskets. The student committee leading the drive included Dave Loop, John Alger, Mura Carr, Lillian Johns, Billie Lat- zel, John Drebick and Bob Sallee. The Shelton Police Department provided transportation for delivering the bas- kets. A Thanksgiving assembly on Nov. 22, portrayed “in all seriousness the several phases of the history of this holiday.” Junior Jack Butler, par— ‘ ticipating in the junior class skit, car— ried a squirrel gun that had been in his family for at least 116 years. Seniors had until the day before Thanksgiving to vote on which gradu— ation announcements they preferred from several that were on display in the student counSelor’s office. Each announcement had a number; the one that received the most votes would become the official graduation an— nouncement for students to send to friends and family. Senior class ad- viser Miss Alma Burke reminded stu- dents that no one was compelled to buy announcements. V The Honor Society’s Christmas card project was wrapping up in time for cards to be mailed on or about Dec. 1. Miss Irene Burright’s office- practice girls “undertook the tedious task of mimeographing the attractive home-made cards,” which would be sent to school alumni serving in the _armed forces in various parts of the world.
