Basketball Team
And Coaches Take
Part At Rotary
Rotarians now know what one
important 'factor is in the success
of Clare High School athletic
teams. Memlbers of the "basketball
squad and the coaches, all of whom
were guests at Wednesday's Rotary
lunoh meeting, spoke highly of the
mutual respect and the teamwork
between coaches and team players.
Eleven basketball players with
coaches Don Richardson and Bill
Seitz took part in the program
which was introduced by Public
School Superintendent Austin
Bates.
■Short talks by Seitz and Richardson lauded the sportsmanship of
the boys and the value of the
physical education program in the
school.
More than jusfi winning ball
games, Seitz said,^ the 'boys are
learning leadership "value of team-
and  clean,  healthy living.
On February 28th and 29th the
Junior Class of Clare High School
will present their annual play in
the school auditorium.
The play is not only a zany comedy but carries a message that is
worthwhile to all of us. It is about
Mr. Murlock, a businessman who
cares about nothing except money.
At the end of the play he comes to
realize that there are more important things in this world than
money.
When his daughter, Mary, wants
to marry Joe Lanconi, Mr. Morlock
says no, because Joe's papa is
poor. Luigi, Joe's papa, comes "to
speak for Joe" but old P. U. (that
stands for Phillip Ullyses) will
have none of it. Presently the two
old gentlemen have a fight and. because of a bad heart, Luigi konks
out.
But, then Luigi gets permission
to come back and haunt Mr. Morlock, and needless to say, his .family thinks old P. U. has lost his
■few remaining marbles. He can't
isleep or eat and; finally takes an
overdose of sleeping tablets.
His family doesn't seem too unhappy over the whole affair. In fact
they start planning for Joe and
Mary's wedding, 'while Jessica, the
kid sister, plans to become a
champion wrestler.
Mr. Murlock gets permission to
come back and haunt too, but Lucifer comes to drag him off to the
lower  regions. Don't miss  seeing
the  exciting climax!    Don't miss
seeing the play.
The cast is as follows:
Mr. Morlock—Ken McConnell
