ANNUAL ROLL CALL
RESPONSE AT JOHN
Q. LOOK LODGE
Many Encouraging Letters
and Telegrams Received
and Read
A large num'ber of members of tho
Masonic Lodge were in attendance
Tuesday evening for the annual Hoi.'
Call Communication of the loca'
branch of the Order. As the roll o)
members was called it was an impressive sight to see the many men
arise and answer "present" as each
particular name was called.
A large number of cards, letters
telegrams and oral messages had beer
received beforehand from memberr
living in distant communities or loca
members unable to attend and these
were either read or orally delivered
upon the calling of those particular
names.
One member living in a distant
state sent a telegram stating that
more than a quarter of a century had
elapsed since it had been his privilege
to live in Glare and attend Lodge
here but that he would never forget
his associations in the local Lodge
and that the .annual receipt of John
Q. Look Lodge would always be counted as one of his most cherished possessions. *
One member of advanced age now
lives in a distant community wrote
stating that because of his years and
the infirmities of age he was unable
to continue his social contacts and so
never expected to sit in Clare Lodge
again but nevertheless he cherished
his membership therein and would
continue to do so until he was met by
the grim reaper.
After the closing of the Lodge all
retired to the dining room where refreshments were served under the
auspices of the chef and his efficient
committee.
At the next Lodge meeting in De
cember the annual election of Officers
will take place and on December
Fifteenth an Installation will be held

CLARE HIGH WINS
IN SCRIMMAGE
WITHJLADWIN
Last Game of Season Scores
First Victory Over Opponent in Seven
Years
Clare High's Green Wave came
home last Friday with a victory, the
first one in seven years over Gladwin,
The Green Wave was superior in
every department. The running and
passing was excellent, the blocking
and tackling hard and vicious. The
kicks were long and high and gave
the ends lots of time to get down under them. The whole team worked
together.
On the opening Mckoff Sanford
lateraled to Bell who, with the aid of
good blocking ran seventy five yards
for a touchdown. Jackson's point wap
good score 7-0. Later in the period
Anderson caught a pass and ran foi
a touchdown. The point was good,
score 14-0. He duplicated this feat
again in the second quarter. The,
half ended, score 20-0.
During the half we were entertain
ed by a very fine Gladwin High
School band. Their music and letter
forming were excellent.
Clare did not score in the third but
with three minutes to play in the last
quarter Sanford threw a pass t*
Anderson, who ran for his third touchdown of the day. Harriger's place
kick hit the bar, score 26-0.
Throughout the second and third
quarters Clare played without Cap.
peart because he hurt his back but
we couldn't keep him out of the last
quarter.
The whole team consisting of
Anderson, Kleiner, ends, Harrigei
and Cappeart tackles, Dwyer, center.
Foss and Kapplinger, guards, and in
the back field, Tope, Sanford and
Bell and Jackson, all played hard anc'
well. Six of them are seniors and
their loss will be felt greatly but we're
going to pick up where they left off
winning. During the season we tied
two, lost two, aud won four. It was
truly a successful season. Kockie
COMPLETE TABULATION
OF ELECTION RETURNS
ARE ANNOUNCjpODAy
This issue of The Sentinel contains
a complete summary of re'sults of the
November 3 general election, rushed
to us following a national compilation of statistics,
This tabulation is especially timely,
since it provides the grand climax tc
Ametrica's straw poll mania, to the
claims and counter claims that were
hurled back and forth during the
campaign, and to the endless conjee-
tion regarding Republican strength
in California, for instance, against
Democratic strength in Massachusetts.
It-is the final answer . . . the real
poll to end all polls! We suggest
that you save it for later reference.
