ed the raeHiTgMihd gave the program
chairman, Miss Gerow immediate
charge. She presented her subject,
Charles Francois Gounod, French
composer by giving a biographical,
-sketchy guoted in * part: ''Charles
Francois Gounod was born in Paris
June 17th; 1818. . He was the son oi
parents who were gifted in the .arts.
■His father being a painter and who
thought Charles might follow in hit-
footsteps, His mother was a distinguished pianist and gave Charles
his early musical training. She
taught drawing and music and bj
this means supported her family after the death of her husband in 1823.
At the age of six Gounod was taken
to the opera and he was so excited
about if that he could not eat. His
grandmother knew music and poetry
and was an accomplished actress.
Before seriously taking up the
study of music, however, he received
a thorough classical training. Then
in 1836 ha entered the Conservatoire
and three years later won the famous
Priz-de-Rome. While continuing hie
musical career at Rome under the
terms of this prize, he became deeplj
engrossed in the religious music ot
Palestrina. On his return to Park
be became organist in one of tht
leading churches and his interest in
religion deepened to such an extern
that he at one time studied towards
the priesthood. He was therefore a
combination of churchman and artist,
ancf until "Faust" was produced, bis
sacred music included, perhaps, the
best of his works. His secular compositions, however, revealed a powe*j
of sensuous melody rather startling
in a man of his ecclesiastical tendencies. Thus it was in "Faust" with
its conflicting human passion ant;

Brown was. high point man of th'*
game.
On Friday, November 30th the
Travelers traveled to Hemlock,
where that town's Independent team
was subdued by a 24 to 20 score.
The Hemlock floor was or. tho
"cigjar-box" variety and possibly
handicapped the Traveler "close-in'
game, although the long shot artistry,
of Grover, Brown, Croton and Comer
made up for that handicap.
Ten men have been selected foi
the team, but "alternates are needed
to. make trips when certain playeni
cannot go. The ten selected are:
Brown, Croton, W. Johnson, R. Johnson, Grover, Waite, Parker, Comer,

The Clare High School basketball
team opened the new season in fine
style last Tuesday night in a great-
game with Sacred Heart. The-local,
boys showed the same fight and de-
'termination that carried them to the
District finals last spring. They
clearly showed that they could really
play basketball and, although they
met defeat by the close margin oi
two points, looked like they would
win gameg this year. The score was
25 to 23 and it was just as-good a
gams as the score indicates. There
was plenty of real basketball . and
some fine ball handling. Both teams
looked to be in mid-season form.
Tupper, the big tall lanky center,
played a great game, getting the tip-
off practically every time and played-
the pivot position almost to perfection. He made ten of the team's
points as well, playing a good defensive game. Bowler and Sanford
showed improved form over last year.
"Doc" had hard luck.on his shots at
the basket or the score would have
been reversed, "Eddie" made six
points in the scoring. Watson came
through in fine style as did the new
comer Maxwell. Both did mighty good
guarding giving their opponents few
chances for close-in shots. These five-
played tho entire game. Campbell, at
guard, and McNerney were the higH
scores for Sacred Heart. Both are
fast men and* the Clare guards did
well to stop them.
The second team had to come from
behind to tie their game in the closing minut_3. Ward Feighner let"loose
a long one which settled through the
net just as 'the final whistle blew to
tie up the game. To prove it wasn't
a flurky shot he won the game on another shot from exactly the same
spot.
Both teams journey to Evart tonight to meet the first opponent in
|the "C" Conference. This game was
moved up from January 4th date because of two weeks vacation.
Next Friday Clare's old opponent,
Reed City, comes to town brtnginj.
both their first and second teams.
This is the game that the boys woula
really like to win as well as all Cl&re'
fans, St. Louis follows in a mid
week game on Wednesday. Put these
dates down—December 14th and 19th
—and come see two of tbe best games
of the season.
