Are You an Active Citizen?
Citizenship in these United .States is taken, too much for
granted By too many adults. Many who talk-a great deal
about their citizenship rights, including the right to vote,
neglect their duty and responsibility to vote at every election. Some even neglect to register. To the latter we would
say: "If you're not registered, you can't vote. If you don't
vote, you don't count If you don't count, it's time you did."
It has been stated that 83 percent of the qualified voters
voted in 1896, but in 1948 only 51.7 percent of the qualified
electors voted. Why the great decline? What, makes 48.3
percent of these citizens take their responsibility so lightly?
Every citizen who fails to vote at any election, and who was
not prevented from doing so by some good reason, should
make a pledge that hereafter he will never fail, to vote in"
any local, state or national election, if it is possible for him
to cast a ballot. " ' * •
. A good citizen not only vptes^ at each election, but votes
for the best candidate for a public office, regardless o% political party. He also votes intelligently on all issues presented
on the ballot for his decision. A voter who neglects to study
.the qualifications of all candidates, and to weigh the arguments in favor of and against important election issues,
such as proposed constitutional amendments, is not practising the best type of citizenship.
If the permanency of our American representative government depends to a great extent upon the intelligence of
the electorate, it is a part of every citizen's responsibility to
be well-informed about candidates and issues. We cannot
dodge this responsibility, We can't delegate our duty.

Seniors Bring Professional Cast To Clare
SCHOOL PRINCIPALS
«L CONFER WITH
FRESHMEN NOV. 8-9
Clare  Principal  Floyd  Norcutt
Expects To Attend Ann
Arbor Meeting
Inivtattions have been sent to more
than 800 high school principals to attend the 22nd annual Principal-Freshman Conference at the University of
Michigan, November 8 and 9.
Registrar Ira M. Smith said the invitations had gone out to all of the
principals whose high schools .are
represented In the current freshman
class at the University, and to the
deans of the ten public Junior Colleges in Michigan.
The conferences serve a two-fold
purpose: (1) they permit the principals to confer with their former students in regard to their first six weeks
at the University, and (2J permit discussion between the principals and
members of the University staff on
mutual problems in regard v to "the
preparation of high school students
for entrance to the University and
their adjustment to life on the campus. ;
In this year's conference, additional
opportunity has been provided for
discussions- hetween the principals
and the University staff members. An
informal round table discussion is
scheduled at the Michigan Union,
starting at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 8. This is the first time that
the principal-freshman .conference has
been extended beyond a one-day meeting.
Thursday n*orning ot November 9
will be devoted to principal-student
interviews. The principals will toe
guests at a luncheon in the Michigan
Union. President Alexander Cf. Ruth-
Ten will extend a welcome and Ivan
C. Crawford, dean of the College Of
Engineering, will discuss "Prospects
for the Class of 1954."
Thursday afternoon, the high school
principals will divide Up into 11 discussion groups to talk over the results of their morning conferences.
A- high school principal will be the
discussion leader for each group with
University counselors on .hand to answer questions. One junior-college
discussion group also has been scheduled.
As the concluding event, freshmen
are arranging for 4:00 o'clock coffee
hours in the University's residence
halls to which all of the principals
are invited. '
Clare High School principal Floyd
Norcutt expects to attend the conference.  .
PIPER PLAYERS IN "DEAR* RUTH
Card party in St. Cecilia* church
parlors, November 13, hy Beta Sigma
i Phi.
The Senior class baa made arrangements with the Piper- Players, a fine
group of professional actors, to present. ' the Broadway success "Dear
Ruth" in the Clare High School Auditorium, at-8:15 p.m. November 3.
A matinee *will also be given at. 2:00
o'clock in the afternoon of "Hansel
and Gretel."
The uniqhe scenery used by the
Piper Players has proved a source of
considerable discussion among students of the theatre. Unlike the old-
fashioned touring melodrama companies they do not carry musty old drops
and rickety sets of an earlier vintage.
Their use of modern stylized sets is
in keeping with the present trend in
the thea'tre.-
The trend for stylized or suggestive
scenery is being employed in many
current hits such aa "Streetcar Named
Desire," "Anne of the Thousand. Days"
and many" others. This is reviving
the precept which may again make
theatre a great force in America.
Both ot these presentations have received great recognition. Many Broad
way and Hollywood celebrities have
commented upon them.
Red Skelton says: "A highly talented group of actors who have forsaken Hollywood and New York to
bring fine entertainment to the Middle
West.".-   *
Hedda Hopper says: "Tops in Theatre.'' '
Theatre Arts Magazine says: "Their
future is guaranteed in the theatre."
American Magazine says: "Their
record of achievement is envied by
show people all over the country."
"Dear Ruth" and "Hansel and Gretel" both .promise to be the greatest
thing in stage presentation, ever to be
given in Clare. The afternoon admission will be 30c and admission to the
evening performance of "Dear Ruth"
will be 60c.
All are urged to see this marvelous
example of stage perfection. These
plays are not movies—you will actually see Broadway's best in person.
The plays are under the direction
of Paul "Buddy;' Piper. There is
nothing tn show business he can't do.
