Ed Keenan, the A.S.B. presi- dent, read the list of the names of the more recent Shelton High graduates who have served or are presently serving in the U.S. armed forces. Ed then introduced three SHS students who had been selected as finalists in the VFW "Voice of Democracy" contest, which is held annually. The boys, Bob Beardon, Les Snyder, and John Cole, all juniors, at SHS, spoke individually to the assemblage, delivering the speeches which they themseh,es had written, car- rying out a theme of "What De- mocracy means to me". Between the speeches, the SHS m NEW YORK (Special) --- Uncle Sam will soon wave his magic wand in Mason County and presto, he will be richer by some $158,130. Hc will do so by removing the silver coins--dimes, quarters and half-dollars--that are now in cir- culation locally. In exchange for them, he will supply lo~al residents with coins of a new type, made of cheaper metals. The dimes and quarters that will be substituted will have no silver in them. Instead of the 90 percent of silver that the present coins contain, the new ones will be made of an alloy of nickel and copper. As for the half-dollars, they will contain 40 percent of silver instead of 90 percent. No changes are being made at this time in coins of other denominations. THE CUTDOWN in the use of silver was authorized by Congress at the request of the TreasmT Department. Production of the new coins is already under way. They will be in general mlpply sometime before the Christmas season. For every man, woman and child in Mason County, it is esti- mated that there arc 37 dimes, 20 quarters dand six half dollars in nm~nal circulation. They have a face value of $11.70. According to figurcs m~pplied by the U.S. Mint, the $3.70 in dimes contain metal worth $3.46, the $5 in quarters, $4.68, and the $3 in half-dollars, $2.81. The total is $10.95. By cutting down on the use of silver, the Government will be able to save a huge amount of money. Instead of this quantity of coins costing $10.95, they will cost only $1.81 in the future. AS A RESULT, the stock of coins in Mason County, which have a metallic value of $189,440, will be replaced by new coins with an intrinsic value of only $31,310. The $158,130 profit derived from this exchange, termed "seignior- age," goes to the Government. Nationally, iL is estimated, such profits could amount to nearly .$500 million l~ the ~ir~t yea¢ alone, band and under the direction of Bruce Moorehead, played several selections and Ed Keenan pre- sented to our student body, a flag which had been given Lo us by Rep. Julia Butler Hansen. The flag will be flown above the Irene S. Reed Building. The boys' speeches were very well written, and as each speech was given, most of the students began to listen more attentively to what was being said, realizing perhaps, slowly, what this as- sembly was all about. State Sen. Gordon Sandison from Port Angeles then addrcss- ed the assen~blagc. He pointed out to the students, that Nov. 11 was not only important to us because it is Veterans' Day, but because it is Admissions Day; Washing- ton was admitted to the United States on Nov. 11, 1889. After speaking to the students, the senator received a standing ovation. The entire senior choir and band joined together to present one selection. ReD. Horace Mounts of the Shelton First Methodist Church closed the program with a pray- er, and a one-minute observance of silence for those persons who have given thcir lives for peace ill (}lU" world. TWo fifth period Civics classes and several busloads of high school and junior higb ,'~chool sudcnts, a t t e n d e d the official opening of the new addition of the ShelLon Post Office Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. Postmaster Jack Gray and Congresswoman Julia Butler Han- sen addressed the group which gathered aL the back of the P.O. to view the opening. Congresswoman Hanson pre- sented an American flag to Ed Keenan who thanked her on be- half of the students of SHS. Mrs. Hansen, assisted by Ralph Horton and Rocky Hembroff then ceremoniously planted the small elm tree on the grounds. This little tree is a "grandson" i of the original Washington Elm l of Cambridge, Mass., under which George Washington took com- mand of the Continental armies in 1775. The seedling was obtained from a cutting from the Olympia descendent of the great tree, by Ralpl~ Horton. Nov. 15, turnouts for basket ball began, and on Nov. 8, turn- !out for wrestling began. ! This explains the crowds of boys that you have no doubt seen running up and down the streets of Shelton in their "training clothes" at odd hours of the day and night. More than 50 boys are turning out for wrestling this ~ear. Although the first, basketball game is not until the jamboree Dec. 3, boys who did fret turn out for football or wrestling are run- ning and training during the week day, and will do so for the rest of the time before that first date. THOUGH THE senior class does have a fund of sorts ,the commit- tee chairmen for the senior ball have been selling candy, cookies and dmmts to raise the level of their fund sufficiently. The dance will be held in the Angle GDn tomorrow night be- ginning aL 8:30 p.m. The theme is "Ice Palace". and it is hoped that students will take advantage of the fund and entertainment offered and attend this activity. The A.S.B. fund, which needed bolstering, was "rcfreahed" by the donkey basketball game held on Nov. 11 in the ShelLon Gym. The faculty members faced the "S" Club members upon the backs of the four-legged mam- mals. The contest seemed evenly matched, and the match was tied. Nov. 13, five students from SHS journeyed to North Mason High School to attend the Wash- ington Pre-Collegc Entrance Ex- ams, Taking the test from SHS were Dan Dittmer, Mary Connol- ly.
