March of
Dimes at
$2728.01
Saline's March of Dimes Fund
reached $2728.01 this week,
with the addition of $42.20 from
the   High   School Record  Hop
land added contributions from
individuals, business and industry.
At the same time, county
chairman Mrs. Carlos Chapman,
of Ann Arbor reported the county total, so far, at about $35,000
and still growing.
The amount included $212.46
from the Lodi township Mothers' March, where Mrs. Edwin
Henes served as chairman; and
$223.79 from the Mothers'
March in Saline township, under the chairmanship of Mrs.
Glenn Hamlin. The total rural
contributions so far amount to
about $7871.
The county quota this year
was set at $65,000, but contributions are lagging, Mrs. Chapman said, and "I'm hoping for
$50,000." Final reports will not
be in until the end of February
1 and in some other years have
come in as late as the end of
March. They are still welcome,
Mrs. Chapman said.
Saline's chairman, Mrs. Everett Wolfin, this week expressed
"sincere thanks to the people of
Saline for their wonderful cooperation in the drive. Every effort made and every minute of
time given is greatly appreciat
ed," she said.

HS Honor Roll
Lists 59 Students
Red Cross Seeks
Information from
"Gallon Donors"
Handicapped by incomplete
records, local representatives of
the American Red Cross are
looking for names of persons in
the Saline area who have contributed a gallon (eight pints)
or more to the Red Cross blood
bank.
Such donors are to be honored at a program featuring the
50th anniversary of First Aid
in the Red Cross, at the winter
board meeting of the board of
directors of the Washtenaw
county chapter of the American Red Cross. The dinner
meeting is scheduled at 6:30
p.m. Tuesday, at St. John's
-•Church in Ypsilanti.
Eight-pint donors from the
Saline area are asked to contact
Mrs. Edwin Hering, at HA
9-7328, for details.
Fifty-nine students were listed on tie Saline High School
Honor Roll (including eighth
grade) this week.
The list was compiled on the
four-point system from semester grades, but excluding band
and gym. Students having a
grade of "C" in any course were
also excluded, whatever their
point average, Principal Elmer
Houghton said, since the school
feels that a student capable of
receiving "A" and "B" marks
in other courses would only
drop to a "C" through lack of
interest in the subject in which
he receives a lower mark.
Students in the 9th and 12th
grades made the best showing—
17 were listed of about 85 9th-
graders; and 17 of 82 seniors
were on the roll. In the eighth
grade, 12 of 100 were listed. But
the 10th and 11th grades, class-
of about 85 each, contributed
only six and seven students respectively.

Tuesday night, in their
first home game in two weeks.
Don Jaeger's quintet meshed
a sizzling 75% field goal"
shooting average in the opening period to gain a commanding 27-7 lead. Even
though the local five substituted quite heavily through- -
out the game — the third
string was in for the last few
minutes of the first half —
Saline continued to pull away
and finally chalked up a 67-
33 victory.
At halftime the score was 31-
10 for Saline, after a cold-cold
second period in which the Hornets made only two buckets, on
shots by John LaRue and Doug
Hoeft. But the varsity redeemed
themselves in the third quarter.
Bixby   swished   a  long   shot
and LaRue sliced in a layup to
start   Saline's   scoring   in  that
stanza.    Karr    collected    two
points off freethrows while LaRue gained an equal number by
driving  under the bucket and
hooking the ball back through
the net. Bixby again buzzed on
a long try, and Saline led 41-14.
At that point Jaeger sent
his second unit into the melee. Jordan got the first score
for the group on a pair  of
freethrows. In the  last two
minutes of the third quarter
Chantelois made a layup, Coe
hit a dog shot and a tip-in,
and    Jordan   collected   four
more points from the charity
line to give the Hornet quintet
a 53-21 margin.
Even though Pinckney staged
a last-ditch rally against local
reserves  in  the  final minutes,
they were unable to threaten.
Top point man for the contest was lanky Pirate forward
Tom   Ritter  with   14.   Scoring

shots and Volz fired a pass to
