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

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.
