"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. I've done this
for years, and it's the only office
I'll accept."
Vi Laugen specializes in
,Non laa cookery.
"I always make lefsa for the
kids at Christmas," she smiles.
"They love it !"
She also makes rosettes to be
baked on a rosette iron in hot
grease. Two teaspoons of sugar

Students in Annette McGee's
seventh grade class in Southside
School are members of an elite
group, for they rank among the
less than one percent of the
nation's school children who have
had the opportunity to spend a
day aboard an oceanographic
vessel.
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
