SHS college-prep choir under the
direction of Bill Williams, lead
the flag salute and the national
anthem, after which they sang
"America, Our Heritage".
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".

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. Ron Godwin, Rob Mills, GcoroLe
Wagner, and Cindy Willard .Th(
Lest lasted from 8 a.m. to 2:30
p.m., and the sLudcnts took their
lunches, which they ate at the
~ohool.
