"I taught in rural schools for nine years," states Vi Laugen. "Four years in South Dakota and five years in Minnesota. "1 had my problems," she continues, "but I never let them get ahead of we. Teachers have now lost control of discipline in the schools. All too often parents back their children rather than the teachers, and this lack of discipline results in spoiling kids who would otherwise develop into free and worthwhile people." Mrs. Laugen was born in Rushford, Minnesota. In 1945 she came with her husband to Bremerton where she worked in a cafeteria while her spouse was employed in the Navy yards. "In 1947 we came to Shelton," Vi recalls. "My husband was a war-time employee in Bremerton and, like many others, he was laid off. Jobs were hard to find, but he went to work for Simpson Timber Company." Mrs. Laugen was widowed in 1958, and her only son, Glenson, was taken by death four years ago. "1 kept roomers and boarders for more than five years," she reminisces, "in the big house at the foot of the hill on Birch Street. I lived on Hillcrest for a couple of years. When there was a vacancy in Fir Tree Park I applied for it, and came here almost two years ago." She is a member of Fir Tree Social Club and a member of Faith Lutheran Church. She participates with two card clubs, "The Fir Tree Card Club" and "The Girls' Pinochle Club." "I'm a member of the VFW auxiliary, too," she says. "1 serve as banner bearer.

On November 12 Mrs. McGee and her 24 students, who are exposed to a year-long concentrated study of marine science, travelled to Olympia and boarded the Pacific Marine lnstitute's 70-foot Snow Goose for a day of scientific experimentation and exploration on the Puget Sound. The Snow Goose is a seagoing marine science classroom and laboratory, owned and operated by Dick Biles of Bellevue. Biles is president of the privately owned Pacific Marine Institute, and is an expert navigator with a deep interest in educating the populace of Puget Sound to the wonders of the waters which surround them. ~ After welcoming the group aboard and outlining basic house rules, Biles introduced his crew: Phil Crawford, a marine biologist who conducts the oceanography course, and Larry McAllister, a marine technician who supervises the water sampling and dredging experiments. The students divided into three groups, and one group went to the wheelhouse with Biles for a crash course in navigation. After explaining how to chart a course COU Donavon Jenson VFW delivers holiday gifts Youth activity chairman Andrea Jones, commander Gene Hyatt and president Ida Hyatt journeyed to Rainier School in Buckley to deliver clothing and I I dolls to the residents of the school for their Christmas.
