The Buccaneer Febuary 23, 1973.

Pete week has bright days and black

Editor’s Note: With little
flourish or fanfare, Pete Week
’73, Peninsula’s annual
homecoming observance, came
and went. Originally designed
as a time to honor the school’s
mascot, the week in later years
has come to mean a seven days
of zany events and activities
culminating with basketball

games and a dance.
This year’s celebration was a
mixture of success and failure,
of participation and flops.
Event by event, the Buccaneer
staff reviews the week below:

TRIKE RACE
The coed tricycle race was
cancelled due to lack of entries

and trikes. Last year’s race was
punctuated by numerous spills
when held on an icy plaza
course.
At least a half-dozen teams
were signed up to race, but the
event was cancelled when their
mounts failed to appear

SCARF
Jim Lunt and Ken Singhose
were the winners of the annual
Peninsula College
Marshamallow Scarf, which
was held last Wednesday in the
PUB. The hungry duo
consumed 84 marshmallows in
five minutes to capture top
honors.
Two other two-man teams;
Bob Brooks-Rich Olson, and
Pete Thompson-Richard
LaFountain, tied for second
place by scarfing 76
marshmallows apiece.
As champions, the LuntSinghose team was presented
with a bag offlavored miniature
marshmallows and the
considerable praise of knowing
the trophy in the PUB display’
case was theirs for a year.

CAKE WALK
Frank Hassle, the AllAmerican Boy, was the
illustrious target of 20 to 30
frustrated people in the Jello
throw held in the PUB Friday.
The price for throwing a good
hand full of jello was five cents,
which went for the Jim
Crimmins Memorial Fund. One
dollar was collected.
Crimmins,a forestry student

at Peninsula, collapsed during a
jogging final in December 1971.
The cake walk, also held at
noon Friday in the PUB, was a
hit with the students as the
“walk” was filled for every
cake. Money from this also went
to the Jim Crimmins Memorial
Fund.

Els Ista reading Tuesday

By SUE SPILLANE
If the object of poetry is to represent abstract feelings in
concrete words, poets have certainly had various degrees of
success in doing it.
Because feelings vary in each person, the poet who writes
for people must capture universal moments of feeling. A
poet writing for himself doesn’t have to. We will probably
never read his poems.
Els Ista writes for us. When, in one poem, she breaks
from a descriptive passage to tell us—
This is not all I was seeing
This is all the words were describing—
she sets in words a common feeling—having but not being
able to express a thought, with which we can all associate.
ElsIsta, after a successful poetry reading here last year,
will return this Tuesday, Feb. 27, to read from her works in
the Little Theater at noon.
Ms. Ista’s freestyle poetry is characterized by her use of
abstract symbolism. She uses it to expand on her concern
with the human psycology and its relationship to nature.
Reading through her poems, her involvement with
alienation, religion and children is also apparent. Gentle
passages about children recur:
All the way up the hill
bringing your mother’s almond grinder
to my brown cedar cabin
you let the rain
fall into your pockets.
A pupil of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in California this past
summer, Ms. Ista is interested in transcendental
meditation. She is also enthusiastic about the experimental
psychiatric therapy of reading poetry to mental illness
patients.
“Els is an outdoor person,” said Tim Machin, a student
acquainted with the poetess. “She likes hiking, sailing and
nature—but that’s not all she writes about.”
Ms. Istes’ cottage home in Seattle issurrounded by forest.
“It doesn’t seem like you’re in the city,” said Mr. Edward
Tisch, PC biology instructor who helped organize the noon
poetry reading series. “Her kitchen walls are covered with
crayon drawings by little kids from the neighborhood. She
likes kids,” he added.

Play rehearsals on schedule

Rehearsals for the drama
production “The Bad Seed” are
progressing right on schedule
for the play’s presentation
March 8, 9, 10.
With a full cast, director Carl
Booton is still seeking two stage
hands and a prompter. Persons
interested in the positions can
see Mr. Booton at rehearsals
from 5 to 6 p.m. weekdays in the
little theatre.
I^ead roles in the murderdrama are played by Susan
Spillane, playing the part of a
psychopathic 10-year-old girl,
and Mary Roblan as her
distraught mother.
The cast will decide this week
whether or not to travel with the
production for tentative
appearances at high schools on
die Peninsula.

Bikes,hikes,films on slate by BOC

Bike and hiking trips and
another Phi Theta “Something
for Everyone Party” are among
BOC activities under
consideration for this spring.
Vice President Ken Singhose
indicated that the food intended
for die hayride last fall has been
saved and will be used for the
“Something” party March. 6.
“As the weather grows
warmer, bike trips to nearby
beaches or campfire-type
cookouts are a possibilty for
activites,” Ken said.
. The frequent dances also will
continue for the remainder of
the school year, with one set for
March 2, and so will the Sunday
night film series.
Among the better films
coming up are “Klute” and
“McCabe and Mrs. Miller,”
both starring Jane Fonda; and
“Summer of *42.”

“More poetry readings are
also in the planning stage,” Ken
said, “and as always we are
open to further suggestions
from all students.”
The next meeting of the board
is set for March 5.

Willamette here

Representatives from
Willamette University in
Salem, Ore., will be available
for consultation in the Student
Center from 10:30 a.m. on
March 8.
Willamette is an accredited
four-year college which has
many cooperative study
programs in forestry, music,
engineering and law with
universities such as Duke,
Columbia and Stanford.
Willamette is the first
permanent college founded on
the west coast. Founded in 1842,
it has some affiliation with the
Methodist Church. The college
is co-educational and situated in
an urban environment.

CIP drug survey set

Community Involvement
Program students in Soc. 190
will conduct a survey in
conjunction with the Clallam
County Mental Health and
Retardation Center to
determine the extent of drug
use in the county.
Starting next quarter, the
group will conduct the random

sample survey in both junior
high and high schools as well as
Peninsula College.
Mailed questionnaires also
will be sent to a sample portion
of the county’s citizens.
According to sociology
instructor Mr. Jerry Spicer, the
Mental Health Center is
attempting to find out what
programs may be needed in this
area to combat drug problems.
“The survey will supply the
data to formulate such
programs,” Mr. Spicer said.
Besidesthe staff of the center,
Mr. Spicer indicates Dennis
LaSage, Becky Baldovin, Ron
Hoffman and a graduate
student, Larry Hudson, will
assist in the research project.
“The survey will be
concerned not only with the
hard drugs, but the use of
alcohol, nicotine and related
substances,” he said.

Editorial

Vo-tech fight on

The legislature in Olympia has created a lot of
excitement on community college campuses with
House Bill 415. Sponsored by Superintendent of Public
Instruction Frank Brouillet, the measure would
extend to high schools the right to offer vocational
education programs in direct competition with
community colleges.
Scared educators at the junior colleges are worried
that in duplicating programs—which at the colleges
are aimed at adult instruction—necessary funds for
the higher institutions would be siphoned off.
The superintendent has countered by indicating that
the technical training in the secondary schools needs a
shot in the arm, since high school students have only
those programs to enroll in. Still others say the
competition between colleges and high schools would
result in better instruction at both.
No one will argue that high school students have a
right to the same fine instruction available now to
adults. But the present separate district funding
systems will simply not stand the strain.
Superintendent Brouilliet should seek additional tax
resources for secondary school programs, and not
attempt to finance a costly duplication of the
community college effort.

English changes bring response

Miss holm comments

Editor, The Buccaneer:

The front-page article on
English curriculum proposals
and the editorial on page 2 of the
Feb. 9 issue seem to call for a
response from an English
instructor.
Judge Learned Hand in “A
Plea for the Freedom of
Dissent” submitted “that the
best chance for truth to emerge
is a fair field for all ideas.” It
was in such a spirit that an open
meeting of English faculty,
administrators, and students
aired the range of opinion on
English requirements for
graduation. Yet the tone of the
Buccaneer articles did not
convey the same feeling about
dissent, partially from the
selected emphasis and choice of
words. I trust that some of the
following observations can
soften the impression given by
the articles.
First, the Instructional
Council meeting did not table a
proposal to change the
curriculum. Due to schedule
conflicts, the English staff had
not had time to prepare its
recommendations to the
Instructional Council, so there
was an explanation for the
removal of the item from the
agenda. Instructional Council
minutes show no record of
action on the matter, certainly
not tabling action.
Second, no department
approval was given the
suggestion to “dissolve English
102” or to replace it with
“practical” English study,
since for transfer students other
than those in business,
engineering, or other technical
training, English 102 can prove
to be very practical, according
to reports from our graduates.
Further, elimination of English
102 was definitely not the only
proposed change, even if
changing present requirements
is found desirable.
Third, it seems indiscreet to
represent the department
chairman’s poll and proposals,
openly discussed in public
meeting, without detailing also
the responses of other members
of the English faculty and some
students at that meeting.
Certainly unanimity of opinion
is an unreasonable expectation
during a decision-making
process. All English instructors
will cooperate with whatever
decision the Instructional
Council makes on our
recommendations. Until then,
our discussions will includeconsideration of varied

positions.
Fourth, since it is unusual for
students to express interest in
departmental meetings, future
English meetings are less
“closed” than informal.
Now, is this a “hassle,” a
“study in rush to judgment”
from “dubious beginnings,” a
case of a
“proposal . . . railroaded
through in quick draw gavel
fashion,” or evidence of
“stampeded reason?” Some of
these English curriculum
questions have been discussed
over the past two years and are
still being weighed in response
to annual review mandated by
the accreditation committee in
1971.
As the English Department is
only advisory on policy
questions, there could really be
no gavel action or clearance for
“immediate consideration by
the Instructional Council.”
Since the open English meeting
was on Jan. 18, the Instructional
Council meeting on Jan. 30, and
the English staff’s meeting on
Feb. 15, there might be more
cause for criticism of dilatory
indecision than lament for a
“manner of change” described
as “deplorable,” due to
stampeded reason.
George Orwell observed that
“language can . . . corrupt
thought.” Let us not create a
disrupting atmosphere from use
of language which sees only in
parts and not the whole.
May I recommend English
102 for further coaching on (1)
evaluation of possible bias in
source, (2) accurate use of
source material, (3) formation
of reasoned conclusions from
respectfully diverse opinions,
and (4) objectivity in writing?
Margaret M. Holm

Rebuttal

(Editor’s Note: Mr. Lunt’s
rep rebuttal appears below.)
Editor: The Buccaneer:
I am often sarcastic (though,
like Diogenes, I prefer the word
“cynical,” which implies
skepticism more than just
bitterness). I am on occasion
original. I am mostly just
confused though, as I don’t have
the fuzziest notion who Mr.
Wade A. Lieseke Jr. is.
He is not registered in any
class I have ever taught, and if
he is laboring under an assumed
name, we should get the matter
straightened out so that course
credit goes to the right person.
Most important, however, I
am concerned about the
accusation because I regard
dragging departmental
disputes through the classroom
as an unethical method of
argument. If I have done that I
should be chastized, and very
severely. I think the people who
are in those classrooms I work
in should be the accusers,
though.
Jim Lunt
(Editor’s note: The unsigned
cartoon in the January 26 issue
of the BUG was executed by
Chuck Rondeau under
direction. It did not express
Chuck’s views on the English
department controversy.)

Play

Editor, The Buccaneer:
The presentation of A
Midsummer Night’s Dream by
the San Francisco New
Shakespeare Company was an
outstanding success thanks to
the fine performance of the
actors and to the enthusiasm
shown by the audience.
I was particularly pleased to
see such a fine turn out,
especially by our own students
and would like at this time to
express my thanks to the
members of Phi Theta and the
members of the ASB, who sold
tickets, and served as ushers,
etc., and also to the members of
the Community Services
Committee, each of whom had a
very important part in the
success of producing the event.
My thanks go also to Mr. Gary
McLaughlin of the high school
staff for his assistance before,
during, and after the
performance.
Once again, thanks to all who
helped, who came and enjoyed
the performance.
Werner C. Quast
Chairman, Community
Services Committee

Pete needs help

We couldn’t help but notice the lack of participation
in the Pete’s Week activities. At this point we could
say, “Well, everyone knows this is an appathetic
student body; we should have known better than to
expect someone to go to the trouble of getting a
tricycle, or being in the dating game.”
This is not entirely the case. This is an apathetic
student body, but not that bad. We feel it is the fault of
the BOC in not publicizing the Pete’s Week activities.
In talking with the BOC vice-president, Ken
Singhose, we found that the main advertising was by
word of mouth . . . with a few—very few—signs on
campus listing in small print the activities, when and
where they would take place; but no metntion of who
to get in touch with to enter, or what the rules were, or
how much it cost to participate.
The BOC cabinet this year is based on the
philosophy of promoting social activities, and not
trying to dictate school policy as some BOC cabinets in
the past have tried to do, and failed. However in order
for the social approach to work, the BOC is going to
have to exercise what little power it has and use it to
the utmost in order for even social activities to be
successful.
We would like to see this happen, but it is our opinion
mai me dul win |ust let things coast along until the
end of the year. After all, why should they care. They
will be gone next year.
— Pete Thompson

Student’s view

Editor, The Buccaneer:
After reading the Jan. 26 issue
of the Buccaneer, and hearing
some of the feedback resulting
from the existing dilemma in
our English department, it
would seem appropriate for
more studentsto take issue with
the situation now at hand; rather than sit back in the usual
apathetic quandary that is so
profound on campus.
I feel, for the most part, that
Chuck Rondeau’s carto’on
depicting Mr. Lucas riding a
horse backwards was in
extremely poor taste: not just
for the cartoon’s implications,
but it is apparent the artist is
not totally aware of the issue at
hand. Nor, is he aware of the
serious personal conflicts this
issue has caused among
members of the department.
One may be able to
understand the near total
apathy and non-involvement on
campus, when people are
publicly ridiculed for taking a
viewpoint different from their
peers.
The situation has not been
helped by Mr. Lunt dragging his
arguments through the
classroom, ion his original
sarcastic manner when
something is disagreeable to his
own philosophy.
Such unthinking acts by some
of these people give no relief to
the problem, thus making an
acceptable solution harder to
find.
. Wade A. Lieseke Jr.

Pancakes

Editor, The Buccaneer:
I feel obligated to inform you
there was a terrible mistake in
your last issue under the
heading “Good Deal”.
Approximately one day after
the Hut Cafe read your free
advertising they increased the
price of pancakes by almost 50
per cent. This is contrary to the
voluntary Phase III controls set
by President Nixon.
Perhaps if student customers
compliment the Monday
through Friday morning staff of
the Hut the management will up
their salaries by 50 per cent too.
In conclusion, the sourdough
pancakes you mention are no
longer a “Good Deal.”

Gifted youths get special care

By Jean Iverson

Children, excitedly crowded
towards the door as I entered
Innisfail, a day care center now
in cooperation with *Uc
Community Involvement Program, (CIP).
Once introduced to all of the
children, ranging in ages from
3% to four years old, any fear I
had upon entering disappeared
as one little boy named John
came to show me (he referred
to me as the “nice lady”) some
photographs of his recent trip to
California. In a half-baby and
half grown up dialect, he
pointed out various zoo
animals, such as the giraffe,
water buffalo and rhinoceros.
Mrs. Harkins, supervisor,
owner and founder of Innisfail,
then got the children to settle
down and color, if they wanted
to, or work jigsaw puzzles. “We
never force the children to
participate if they aren’t in the
mood,” she said. “We try to
give them an opportunity to be
creative and make their own
decisions.”
Innisfail, located in the
basement of Mrs. Harkins’
house on Lauridsen at Ennis, is
made up of three rooms; one
filled with toys for the children
to play with when they first
come in (including a large
almost life-size log cabin), a
room equipped with a painting
easel and sink, and a family
room, equipped with a low table
with eight chairs, stereo,
television, fireplace and rug.
Assisting Mrs. Harkins was
Mrs. Maybell Justine, a
psychology major who works
with the children for an hour
each day, five days a week. As
do the other teacher aids, Mrs.
Justine receives three credits
for her work with the children.
“Working with these children
is more than just psychology,”
she said. “By giving them my
attention, and by just doing
things with them, I’m learning
things that I can use in the
future—perhaps with my own
child some day.”
Innisfail, which comes from
an old Gaelic expression
meaning the isle of brightness
or destiny, was set up by Mrs.
Harkins, a certificated teacher,
as a center for younger children
with special abilities, or
children who had shown a need
or want to learn.
She pointed out that there is
no day to day schedule for class.
If all of the children don’t want
to paint one day, they do
something else, like singing or
counting. While I was sitting on
the hearth, some children
(there were six in all) were
learning to cut with scissors,
while others, like Mr. J. Marvin
Pollard’s son, sang songs and
worked jigsaw puzzles.
Although most of the children
are exceptionally bright, one
little girl displayed her
imagination by telling a
whopper about how her little
brother Daniel Arthur kept her
awake all night and how her
mother came in and spankeo
him. When asked how old her
brother was, she replied, “three
months.” A likely story.
Mrs. Justine had the children
sit on the rug and listen to a
story while Mrs. Harkins
explained the prupose or
importance of Innisfail. For
most children, the years
between leaving home and

entering school should be the
most homelike,” she said. “We
want to emulate the old
e fashioned home unit as much as
—’ possible.”
Innisfail, a private day care
center, is frequented by
children with parents in
professional business fields;
teachers, doctors and some college parents. Six groups come
two and three times a week—on
Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, the older children,
from four to five years old; and
on Tuesdays andThursdays, the
3% to four-year-olds. There is a
fee.
Mrs. Harkins is pleased with
the work Mrs. Justine is doing
with the younger children in the
Frosig Move, Learn and Grow
Series, which helps the children
develop their coordination by
walking planks, working with
clay, and fingerpainting. With
the older group, Mrs. Justine is
working with the children on a
Readiness Reading Series, with
skills such as learning the
alphabet, identifying pictures
by the sounds of the letters,
matching, and an introduction
to mathematics.
Mrs. Harkins feels the center
is ideal for the child with no
brothers and sisters, or with a
working mother. It has facilities
for the children that they
probably couldn’t get at home.
She feels that Mrs. Justine is
quite exceptional with the
children.
“She’s very efficient, and self
motivated.” said Mrs. Harkins.
“If I forget something, or I’m
too busy, she takes care of
everything for me.”
Mrs. Harkins thinks the
children benefit by having a
younger person like Mrs.
Justine for help and
companionship. Right now,
Mrs. Justine is the only aid for

Innisfail. “You know, I think it
would be great if we had a
fellow for an aid,” she added.
Outside activities include a
trip to the Coast Guard Base,
the fire station and Mr. Tisch’s
Biology lab. When the weather
improves, they will begin the
trail walks again.
Innisfail has only been in
session since last September, so
Mrs. Harkins hasn’t started any
advertising yet, but she will
accept registrations after the
first of April.
As I was leaving, I almost
thought twice about turning
down the offered snack of juice
and Ritz crackers when I saw
six little orange juice-rimmed
mouths smile up at me.

‘Billy Jack’ coming

“Billy Jack” isthe next in the
BOC-sponsored Sunday night
film series, and will be shown at
7 p.m. March 4.
The movie, starring Tom
McLaughlin and Delores
Taylor, is a social drama in
which two young teachers
fight a small town society. The
townspeople disagree with their
“freedom” school’s interracial
student body policy and employ
violence in trying to close the
school.

Billy Jack himself is half
Indian, and the film includes an
authentic Indian rattlesnake
ceremony.

Karate enthusiasts also shoud
enjoy the film’s elaborate
display of the technique in a
“Billy Jack” fight scene.

The Motlet Crew

By DAN DANIELS

It’s getting to be about that time when term papers are
due to be handed in. The general panic seems to have hit, as
the library actually has someone in it. Being Friday, that
must mean that there are a few classes with deadlines on
Monday, so students are deciding it’s time to select a topic
for the paperthey were purportedly getting into all this past
quarter.
The main problem in preparing a term paper by this
method is that all quarter you’ve been telling the teacher
about the great research you’ve been doing on, say, the
governmental processes of the Republic of Western Ipana
or something and discover at the last minute that there are
no books on thatsubject in the school library. Confronted by
this, some inventive students pull out the old excuse book:
“I work as a longshoreman in my spare time, and forgot
my report on board ship last night. Right now it’s
some place between here and Nome.”
“My brother’s pet water buffalo stepped on it.”
“The only paper I could find in the house was in the
bathroom. Then someone used it.”
These, however, only work so long before they become
commonplace. Many students will refuse to resort to their
use until they’ve checked into what the City Library has to
offer on Western Ipana.
Of course, this also allows them to wait until tomorrow to
start researching, and they can goof off for the rest of the
day since there isn’t anything available in the school
library.
For some reason, choosing a subject like this always
seemed so logical at the time it was selected. It looks so
much more impressive to see the name “People’s Republic
of Ipana” than “Canada,” or “Mexico.” But then when you
arrive at the public library and proceed to thumb through
the card catalogue, you begin to get the idea that there isn’t
a whole lot of interest in Ipana in Port Angeles.
Still not having found any information, some students
might just throw up their hands, shout “Golly-gee
whillikers!” and give up. Others might change their
subject, and a few of the radical minority might yet have
found a challenge in the Republic of Ipana and head out for
Seattle to see what the library there has on file.
Finding something in the last catalogue on the farthest
isles of the library, you head up the three flights of stairs, or
attempt to battle your way through the crowds of teenyboppers being conducted on a tour through the building and
who are riding up and down the escalators. (Cheap thrills or
what?) Arriving at the department on the top floor which
should have a book or two written about Ipana, the librarian
looks at the call number, gives you a good dirty look and
calls for a page to locate the one book that survived the
Seattle fire in 1888, which has spent its latter years hidden
away in the second sub-basement.
Looking it over and heading for the checkout desk with it
crumbling in your hands, you may note that it hasn’t
exactly been on the reserve list. It’s kind of embarrassing to
check out a book which no one has wanted since April 23,
1912.
“Billy Jack” isthe next in the
BOC-sponsored Sunday night
film series, and will be shown at
7 p.m. March 4.
The movie, starring Tom
McLaughlin and Delores
Taylor, is a social drama in
which two young teachers
fight a small town society. The
townspeople disagree with their
“freedom” school’s interracial
student body policy and employ
violence in trying to close the
school.
Then you get it home and discover that Ipana went out of
existence in 1911.
It’s at about this point that you realize that the best thing
to do is to go to the teacher and tell him the whole and
honest truth.
“My house burned down last night.”

Kismet

By Jean Iverson

Myths, medicinal cure-alls
and crazy ideas have been
around for centuries. When I
came across some remedies
and old cure-alls last week,
some made me see certain
subjects in a different light.
For instance, beginning with
old medicinal cures, a famous
cure for the common cold
centuries ago in England was a
diet of mice, either fried,
stewed, roasted or baked.
A more reasonable myth has
it that the expression, “God
bless you,” said to a sneezer,
dates back to 590 A.D., when
Rome had a sneezing epidemic
and the Pope decreed that the
expression be uttered to anyone
so afflicted. Another myth has it
that in the 16th century in
England, petroleum was used
for a time as a cure-all for
anything from a sore throat to
the flu.
For centuries, children in
England were fed moldy bread
to clear up any internal
infections. I wonder how man
ever managed to survive for
centuries.
More fascinating than true,
was the story about the early
pioneers. A famous remedy for
indigestion was to hold a live
frog on their stomachs. In the

Orient, snake charmers were
expected to charm away a sore
throat; and years ago, chewing
newspaper was prescribed for a
nosebleed.
Early Pennsylvanians claim
that rural children chewed
tobacco to keep their first set of
teeth white. And worse yet, an
old treatment for acne was to
fry toads and rub the grease on
your face.
Most amusing was the old
myth about cosmetics. It seems
they were first worn by men to
ward off evil spirits.
Knowing most people’s
attitudes for the last few years
concerning barbers, I found
that the barber pole represents
the barber surgeons of long
ago—the red stripes represent
blood and the white stripes
represent the bandage.
The last two myths should
bring a little pride into two
groups; the blue-eyed and the
obese. It seems that recently a
dentist has found that most
blue-eyed people can tolerate
more pain than the brown-eyed.
And it’s also said that
mosquitoes prefer thin persons
because they have a higher
metabolic rate and release
more heat than heavier people.
You see, nothing is all bad.

Campus Sports Seen

Phanton jogger is Mrs. Huston

If you happen to see or have already seen a person
running around the Peninsula Campus in green togs this
year, do not believe you have seen the Green Phantom or
Green Lantern. It is Mrs. Laima Huston, the wife of
Peninsula coach Don Huston.
Mrs. Huston was born in the European country of Latvia,
under the ^control of Russia since World War II. Raised in
Tacoma, she attended Wilson High School. She then went to
Western for four years to receive her B.S, then to the
University of Washington for one year. Mrs. Huston met
Mr. in her senior year at Western while he was there doing
his master’s work and assistant coaching for Western.
She teaches P.E. classes, modern dance, slimnastics and
first aid and safety class. Mrs. Huston is currently in the
process of adjusting to her new teaching job in Sequim
teaching sixth and seventh grades. Before coming to Port
Angeles she taught PE at Auburn.
Turning to her running activities, I asked Mrs. Huston
why she enjoys to run so much. Her reply was that she
“comes from a running family, where father pushed and
coached the family to be a track-oriented. She started
running with her brother who was a captain of the
University of Washington Track team. He later had a
tryout for the Olympics about the time of Jerry Lindgren’s
fame.
Mrs. Huston was a member of a track team in Tacoma
and ran throughout junior and senior high school. She
continues to run, “for the enjoyment and challenge.” She
also enjoys running against her younger brother, who
recently competed in the Seattle Invitational Indoor Track
Meet. She averaged five miles a day in December but after
a bout with the flu is now jogging three miles daily in an
attempt to build back up to five miles again.
Mrs. Huston said she would like to have any girls who are
interested to come out and jog with her and maybe start a
jogging program if enough interest is generated. Any girls
interested should see Mrs. Huston whenever possible.
Mrs. Huston’s hobbies are skiing, sewing, all sports and
travel. This summer she and Mr. Huston are .planning a
trip to Europe to see her birthplace of Latvia and tour
Northern Europe. Her plans for next year are perhaps to
find a part-time job and teach classes here—and definitely
keep running.
