kert Orthopedic Guild game night at school filled with preparing that is! Committees for the club
held last Saturday night could
only be described as a smashing for the coming Christmas prog- Christmas party were chosen be -}
fore the meeting closed. The next
ram, a high spot on the school
calendar's social aspects.
This year our school district has
success and a great credit to the
hard-working guild members.
About 65 persons attended and
been making available to our chil-
dren. through the Tri-County Au-
dio-Visual Service, some very fine
movies.
Tuesday, the film "The Ama-
zon" was shown and was of spec-
ial interest to the fourth and
sixth grades whose studies of Bra-
zil and its great river coordin-
ated nicely with the subject mat-
ter.
Principal Arthur Zebe tells us
that within the past six weeks,
the school's library has been siz-
eably increased by the addition
of 120 titles. Those books, more
suited to the fourth to seventh
grade room are either largely bio-
graphical or of correlated scienti-
fic subject matter, The first to
third grade room's hooks are of
a lighter vein. including some of
those delightful tales of Dr. Seuss.
Several fine records to be used
for physical education have also
been .Qrovided.
THE MASON LAKE Improve-
ment Club with president, :Mrs.
D. H. Porter, presiding, met at
the Grapeview School Sunday to
discuss and receive advice on their
fire protection problems. T. G.
"Tuck" Pearson, secretary of the
Washington State Fire Commis-
sioners' Association, County Com-
missioner Harry Elmlund and
County Assessor Willis Barnett
attended, offering the benefit of
their experience to the nearly 50
persons present. There were also
delegations representing the Ben-
son Lake area, commissioners of
Fire Protection District 5 of A1-
lye and the Grapeview Volunteer
Fire Department. No final decis-
ions were reached but those at-
tending shared the opinion that
the time was well spent•
The 4-H Barnacles met at the
home of leader, Mrs. Virginia
Hicks last Tuesday after school,
The final plans were made for
the bake sate which is being held
this weekend at the Grapeview

gifts were Mrs. Emma Dowell,
Mike Benson, Mrs. Evelyn Walker,
Mrs. Louise Okonek, Mrs. Shirley
Engen, Mrs. Peggy Hillman, Mrs.
Fred Collins, Russ Wells, Mrs.
Lee Whitney and Bud Welch. Mr.
Welch's generous donation of one
of his two prizes led to a spirited
auction of same much to the de-
light and entertainment of all pre-
sent as well as purchaser Russ
Wells.
The proceeds from the spon-
taneous gesture were donated to
the Orthopedic Guild treasury.
Young Larry Lutz, winning the
blackout game, went home better
prepared for Christmas than when
he came and :Mrs. Astound Rindall
was the recipient of the door
prize. The gorgeous Barbie doll
and her luxurious wardrobe went
home with Carole Battles, whose
apparent enthusiasm made us
wonder if daughter Lynette will
ever get a chance to play with
her!
Chairman Judy taudt of the
game night activities committee
was ably assisted by Virginia
Hicks with Bill Staudt "M. C.
-ing" with the help of Lloyd Rich-
CY. Refreshments chairman Eve-

teresting array of items display-
ed, proceeds from which will be
used for the good works of this

ly deserved, for this group of
ladies hms been working hard all
season on various projects de-
signed to provide funds for their
philanthropic purposes.

Science Club Takes Field Trip To Rayonier
Lab; Visit To McChord Field Is Planned
By Molly Murdey
Science Club, under the super-
vision of its adviser, Mr Rogers,
recently took a field trip to the
Rayonier laboratories. Guides con-
ducted the members through the
various buildings and explained
the purpose of the different types
of equipment.
A visit to the SAGE computer
base at McChord Air Force Base
near Tacoma will be the next ex-
cursion. SAGE is a device used in
.tracking all planes taking off
from McChord. Another future
project of Science Club is a trip
to Rayonier's :Marine Biology lab
on the canal,
The club hopes to obtain equip-
ment for experiments. Simpson
plans to donate approximately
$3,000 worth of radio equipment.
Sid Ferry leads the organization
as president. Other Science Club
officers are Ginny Freeman, vice
president; Tom Mills, secretary;
and Rick Reed, board of control
representative.
The club meets on the first and
third Thursdays of each month.
Dues are 50 cents a semester.
Each of the 20 members is re-
quired to complete a project by
the end of the school year. Mem-
bers may choose any project re-
lated to science.
ANOTItER CLUB frequently
found in the spotlight lately is
Scarlet 'S r. This is an organiza-
tion for girls who have earned
their letters in golf, tennis or
Girls' Athletic Association. It car-
Card Party At Union Raises
of whom were University of Wa-
shington varsity football stars.
Dave K0pay's serious and infor-
mative talk followed and height-
ened the effect of jovial Chuck
Bond's clever handling of the ev-
ening's favorite topic of conver-
sation. Tbose Grapeviewites en-
joying the evening were Bill
Staudt, Bill Seiners, Howard Se-
iners and son Donald Julie Stock,
Waiter Eckert. "Eke" Eaerbtt and
son Ken. Both "Eke" and Ann
Eacrett were classmates of Chuck
Bond's dad when they attended
Western Washington State Col-
lege, so "Eke" found that young
giant especially interesting.
The Eacretts, both loyal High-
climber fais, were just about the
only Grapeviewites at the Shelton-
Fife basketball game at Fife last
Saturday night, the lone excep-
tion being Walt Clayton, who
played chauffenr for the Shelton
]gh Pep Staff.
The Bill Staudt family was cer-
tainty glad to welcome home wife
and mother, Judy, last Thursday
night. Both Judy and Mrs. Esther
Garland had spent almost two
weeks in California. Judy visiting
with her ailng mother and Mrs.
Garland successfully takng care
of some business matters. Not
only did Judy get home just in
time to take care of her duties
as Orthopedic Game Night chair:
man but also further served the
guild by taking all items left over
from the Country Store to their"
mart in Tacama Monday. O that
busy day, military business mat-
ters were also taken care of. Judy
hmched at McChord Air Force
Base with both sons, Chick and
Kenneth, and Kenneth underwent
minor foot surgery as well.
Perhaps keeping pace with his
wife's busy schedule. Bill Staudt
was kept hustling all day Satur-
clay• That day which ended with
"M.C.-ing" at the Orthopedic
game night, began at 8 a.m. when
he chauffeured his dad. Bill
Stoudt Sr. to the Kaiser Hospital
in Portland, Ore,, to visit his
scrim]sly ill nephew. They were
much relieved to find that Louis
Pierce had sui'vived a mlptured
aorta, thanks to swift surgery and
the marvels of plastic vessel in-
serts, but left with "the knowledge
that this pleasant person, known
to a number of local residents, re-
mained in poor condition. Fortun-
ately both the weather and traf.
fie pelnitted them to be back at
Benson Lake by 5:30 p.m.
VE ARE GLAD to learn that
the Art Nicklaus family has fin-
ally banished the "flu bug". Sole
member of the family to escape
the affliction was their youngest,
little Christopher.
The Don Query family has been
swept off their feet by a more
pleasant affliction, boat fever,
ince Don has fallen heir to a
16 foot clinker-bnt craft com-
plete with a five and a half horse
motor. A few minor repairs and
a good paint job for the sturdy
craft should provide a winter's
hobby and next mmamer's delight
for this happy family.
Anderson Islanders, Mr, and
Mrs. Bob Rexolds, son Mike and
and tiny daughter Vicki Joy were
Sunday dinner guests of the Ed
Okoneks. This was the Reynold's
first visit to the Okoneks since
pretty little Vicki Joy arrived sev-
en months ago.
A delicious turkey dinner greet-
d Julie and Doris Stock Sunday
at the Port Orchard home of bro-
ther RUSs ad family. To make
it a bit of a family gathermg,
nephew Wes Stock with petite
wife Beverly and son Jeff of Au-
burn we also present.
The attractive Lake Cushman

The Scarlet 'S' girls are busy
planning an ice skating party for
the near future. Officers are Kay
Loertscher. president; Barb Ful-
ler. secretary and Marcia Smith,
board of control representative.
Speaking of the Board of Con-
trol. members of the board decided
at a meeting last week that a
suggestion box should be placed
in the main office. A suggestion
box will be used because clax.s
representatives seldom have issues
to bring before the board. "Now
any student may make a sugges-
tion for school improvement".
commented ASB president. Toby
Villines.
This week a Christmas tree was
placed in the hall in front of the
main office According to the an-
nual custom, the tree was ac-
quired by the Boys' Club and will
be decorated by the Girls' Club.
