ATHLETIC BANQUET
ENJOYABLEFEATUR
OF SCHOOL YEAR
Every Department- Represented    When    Students
March to Dining Hall
lor AnnualFestivity.
<0«e hundred and fifty were present
;at the "annual banquet of the Clare
Utgh school Athletic Association,
which, was served by the Ladies
Guild, in the gymnasium of the school,
'/Thursday evening, of last week. .
This is the one function ol the
school year where both the senior and
junior high school,meet together in a
banquet in .which every .-department
.of the school Is interested.
■ The* banquet was all that could be
desired, with an "abundance of excellent food and efficient and painstaking service by the ladies.
Mark" Bicknell, who presided as
toastmaster, was introduced by Wallace'Johnson, the president of the association. In his opening remarks,
Mr. Bicknell reviewed the success of
the athletic teams and attributed
much of this success to the splendid
co-operation of the Athletic Association.
Mr. E. G. Johnston, who is a graduate of Alma college, and spent four
years in high school coaching, spoke
briefly pn the fine spirit displayed in
the high school, and reminded the
students that the friendships made in.
..high school would continue with them
..throughout their lives.
..Mr.-Johnston has officiated at most
of the football and baseball games at
home, and he mad? the statement
'that he had never' been criticised by
any player on any decision he had
made at any game. He complimented
the boys and their coach for this fine
spirit of sportsmanship displayed.
Mr. Johnston has never made any
charge for his services in the Clare
games, and at the close of his address
Wally Johnson, in behalf of the association, presented him with a traveling bag as a token of their apprecia-
'iion of his generous and kindly serv-
• ices.
It was a complete surprise to him,
and it was with difficulty that he responded to the presentation speech
and expressed his thanks for the gift
which meant more to him than the
monetary value.
The history of the athletic teams
and the habits, activities and preferences of the individual members were
told in a poem written by a member
• of the faculty and was read by Marion
"Horton.
.;■ \*BbUrke Lode svyck, assistant coach at
/®3fl$ral Teachers College of Mt. Pleas-
&ht delivered the   principal   address.
• He spoke very highly of the splendid
type of athletes   who   came   to   Mt.
--Pleasant from Clare, not only from
the physical standpoint, but also from
the moral character of these men..
In addressing the athletes, who were
to receive letters, he said: "You did
hot work and fight on the team for
personal glory, for if«you had, yon
-would hot have made the team, but
yon did it for your team and school,
and you were chosen from the student
body to represent the school as a
team unit, and the honor of the school
Is your reward."
The speaker said that athletics develop the mind and help one to size
up a situation quickly and act. They
develop the bodyi and spirit. He explained spirit as tbat which makes a
man go in for all he can do for his
teani, and to show the right spirit of
sportsmanship .towards the team
which wins.
• Mr. Lodewyck said that athletics are
not all of school, and must not be
substituted for scholarship, but should
be used as a stepping stone for character ahd life preparation.
,He urged all 'the students to play
the game of life clean and square by
living moral' right. >
Coach Floyd Alldread in presenting
letters to the boys' teams said: *I do
hot believe there Is a cleaner bunch
of fellows anywhere in the United
States than the boys who have played
oi^ the Clare Athletic teams this
year." *
: The football letters were awarded
about Christmas time but the letters
for the other teams were awarded by
Mr. Alldread as follows: Basketball;

WALLY JOHNSON ATTENDS
FIELD MEET AT M. S. C.
Wally Johnson took second place in
the class C quarter mile run at the
State high school track and field
meet, held at the Michigan State College, East Lansing last Friday and
Saturday
The preliminary trials were held
Friday afternoon, and Waily had no
difficulty in placing for the finals, the
time of the heat being 54.7 seconds.
In the finals Saturday afternoon, he
drew number five^ which placed him
in lane irve on the 220 yard straight
away, and at a disadvantage in not
being nearer the pole, and after
rounding the curves of the track, and
at the beginning of tlie final s.tretch,
he became boxed in by two other runners, and while he -worked-out of the
trap and took second place, he was
still a stride behind the runner from
Plainwell when they reaehed the
tape.
The time was 53.2 seconds, .which
was a new state record, the old record-
being 53.7 Seconds which was made in
1923.    ' *    ' .
This young man who has had such
an excellent record in Clare high
school athletics, has thus brought
honor to his school and city, by placing as the second best quarter niiler
in Class C schools in the state.
Wally has a wonderful'stride" for*
the quarter mile dash, and runs with
perfect ease, and. he may be expected
to make a record in college track as
he continues In'liis educational ahdi
athletic career;

hope of immortality. A noble man
of God has finished his work and the
influence that has gone out from his
holy life never can be fully known

Hon. Dennis E. Alward, od Clare
and Lansing, delivered a brief address
in which he commended his. old
friends and neighbors for their
loyalty, and the interest which they
have taken in patriotic affairs.
He said in part as follows; "Do you
and I always serve our country as
best we can and with all our '.might 7
j These soldiers whose memory we
honor this clay sought no benefit for
themselves, no financial gain, no
luxurious comfort; they displayed self-
reliance, self-restraint ahd splendid
courage; they gave their lives.
It, is for us, as we contemplate the
glorious example of unselfish service
which they set for us, to re-dedicate
ourselves to America and so make se;
cure tho precious inheritance tor
which they died."
The principal address of the day
was delivered by Rev. H, B. Johnson,
who reviewed the events leading up to
the-great conflict in which the heroes
of the Civil■-' War fought, and . the
hardships and privations which they
endured.
He paid tribute to the veterans of
the Spanish American and World
War, and said" that while our land,
laws and institutions are blood bought
ancl worth dying for, the observance
of Memorial Day should teach us the
cost of war and4 the value df peace,
"We should do all we can to preserve
peace, but not peace at any price, for
the ideals and institutions of America
must be preserved at all costs."
The speaker said he had no fear for
America's future as long as the public,
school system shall be maintained,
for the boys and girls of both native
and alien parentage are there taught
the love of flag and the country for
which.it stands.
Mr- Johnson urged the observance
of law and the consecration of life to
the great principles and ideals of our
government as expressed in the preamble to the constitution.
The Sixth grade sang two selections
and N. A. Elden led the audience in
the singing of America.
The American Legion are doing a
worthy service in taking charge of
the Memorial Day services, and the

Floyd kirkpatrick, Druggist official
booker of entries in the great National Bass Contest beginning June 1st
and ending August 31st, state that all
details of this great fishing ( event
have been completed.
The IThited States has been separated into 20 different sections and each
locality in all pf these sections will
stage its own local contest occuring
at the same time as the sectional con-'
tests and as the national contest.
National publicity in leading sporting
magazines is arousing great enthusiasm for this event, and in all probability many records for single bass
and strings of bass will be broken.
The chief features of tiis contest
are that everyone is eligible; the
event is entirely free; any kind ot1
facile may be_ used ahd any stream or
lake may be "fished. It is only neces-
saryv that contestants use a certain
type of bait known as the Shakes'
peare "SWIMMING MOUSE'.'--a bait
that has been selected because of its
ability to get the fish.
The Shakespeare ■ "SWIMMING.
MOUSE" is a very effective bait aud
has already established worthy records in the taking of game fish. Any
angler, who does nor. already possess,
this lure may borrow one free of
charge from Floyd Kirkpatrick who
have a limited supply of. the "SWIMMING MOUSE" for free loan purposes.
Full details as to prizes, etc, can be
secured at the drug store.
