Band Rated
Excellent' at
State Evnet
The Saline High School Band,
under the direction of Arthur
Katterjohn, received the "Excellent" or 2nd division rating
at the State Band Festival, Saturday at Mason.
With 17 high school bands
participating in this part of the
festival, only three received
first division ratings, while ten
received second division ratings.
The judges' comments ranged
from complimentary to critical:
"Excellent precision and nuance
. . . Thrillingly conceived and
executed march . . . Expert control . . . Certainly a splendid
sense of contrast . . . Beautiful
expression ... A beautiful musical performance ... a beautifully trained band . . . Ensemble
is ragged . . . Too much for the
band . . . Solo spots weak . . ."
The local band performance
was heard by a number of Saline people who traveled to Mason for the event. The band
went by school bus, leaving Saline at 11:30 a.m. and returning in the evening.
"Certainly the band members
are to be congratulated for their
fine performance at the State
Festival," said Katterjohn. "It
is a great achievement to get to
participate in this State Festival, and to receive an "Excellent" rating is certainly no
small commendation. The Band
missed the "first" rating by only one mark from one judge.
It was that close."

f aseball Teams Play Winners;
Track Squad Bows to Chelsea
Seven Naw Marks
Set in Contest
= . Track records at the Saline
athletic field took a terrific
beating Thursday evening, as
the Chelsea Bulldogs defeated
the Hornets in a gruelling duel,
59-50, to practically assure
them a championship in the
Saline Dual-Meet Track Conference. They went on to defeat
Dexter Tuesday night, to gain
at least.a share of the crown.
Seven distance and time
marks were smashed and another was tied in the Saline-
Chelsea contest.
Larry Cattell of Chelsea did
the most damage as he took
the broad jump with a leap of
20,:1/2" and sailed to a height
of 11'9" in the pole vault. He
then shared the title with teammate Jim Maynard in the low
hurdles with a time of 22.3 seconds.
Maynard went 5'6" to equal
the old high jump record.
Dave McLaughlin set a new
distance of 47'11%" with the
shot put, and the Chelsea relay
unit of Cattell, Mike Schrader,
Warren Porath and McLaughlin
cut their time to 1:38.
Saline, too, changed the record books as Mike Johnson won
the 880-yard run in 2:10.9 and
Howard Schrader took the 440-
yard dash in 55.8 seconds.
Other first place winners
were Maynard in the high hurdles; John Harvey of Saline in
the mile; Schrader in the 10.0-
and 220-yard dashes; and the
Saline mile relay group of Mike
Johnson, Rick Larkin, Jim
Strait and Harvey.
Roosevelt Also Beats Thinclads
The Saline trackmen lost a
second meet during the past
week as Ypsilanti Roosevelt defeated them Tuesday, 59-50.
The weather was gloomy and
so was the outlook for Saline as
Howard Schrader strained his
back while winning in the shot
put with a short distance of
3714'. He was unable to run in
the dashes and will be lost for
the Dexter-U-High-Saline triangular  meet   in   Ann  Arbor
Thursday.
Ed Strait was able to win in
the broad jump and the 440-
yard dash and Roger Davis won
in the low and the high hurdles.
Mike Johnson took the 880-yard
run.
John Harvey, Saline's star
freshman, miler, cut some more
off his time as he went the
distance in 4:49.8/

JV's, Varsity
Trim Chelsea,
Roosevelt
Both of Saline's diamond
squads were victorious in games
played last week as the varsity
defeated Ypsilanti Roosevelt on
Thursday, 12-3, and the junior
varsity nosed out Chelsea, 6-5.
Both games were filled with
oddities.
Dick Leidheiser gave a fine
pitching performance for the
second time in his two appearances for the Hornets, as _ he
struck out 11 batsmen while "allowing only two hits. He seems
to have gained a control that
he lacked in past years.
But, in an unusual coincidence, he hit the same batter —
Mike Sukach — three straight
times.
Gary Kind led the Hornet attack with a home run and a
double, while Bruce Niethammer, Jerry McDonald and Gary
Niethammer each had two singles. Jack Kuebler had a safety.
Roosevelf s three runs came
in the fourth inning and were
all unearned.
Doug Robinett pitched another win for the Little Hornets
in another game that had its
peculiarities. Chelsea led off in
the first inning with, three runs
and then, in the bottom half of
that-frame,.: Saline had- three
walks and "then turned around
and had three strike-outs. The
game  ended  when  the  batter
who was to have scored the tie-
ing run for Chelsea failed to
touch second in his trip around
the bases.
The game at Pinckney with
the league-leading Pirates Tuesday was postponed because of
wet grounds and was to be
played today.   - '

enjoyed working with this recreation as much as anything
I've ever done;' it*s""*been fun."

crafts, Little League, the Teen
club, Babe Ruth and Connie
Mack leagues, young men's
softball, girls' softball,.and winter recreation activities. ,

100 children; this year nearly

and a craft teacher are paid for

Valuation for

Saline supervisors were appointed to key committees in
the list of appointments announced this week by newly-
elected Chairman of the Board,
Erwin Frederick, of Lodi township.

Supervisors approved a report

value of property and lowers
those in most of-the surrounding townships.
City Supervisor Henry Leutheuser will serve on the powerful ways and means committee;
and Robert Harrison was appointed to the equalization committee by virtue of his office
as city assessor. Ann Arbor and
Ypsilanti assessors have served
on the committee for some
years, but Harrison's appointment as assessor this year
marked the first time Saline's
assessor had also been a member of the Board of Supervisors.
Harrison will also serve as
chairman of both the veterans'
and the weights and measures
committee. Besides his appointment to the ways and means
committee, Leutheuser was
named chairman of the county
zoning coordinating committee
and a member of the probate
court committee.

at its meeting next month,
jumped the total equalized value of Washtenaw county property to $668,421,000, up from
last year by $11,040,900.
It raised Saline city's valua-
tion from $9,046,358 to
$9,673,230. -
But township valuations were
lowered: Bridgewater was dropped from $4,063,882 to
$3,971,671; Lodi came down
from $6,415,813 to $6,300,895;
Pittsfield is down from
$24,867,125 to $24,521,726; and
York from $15,313,450 to
$14,560,189.
In this area, only Saline
township's valuation was raised
- from $4,325,848 last year to
$4,360,565 this year.

county, schools, and townships.

Two Local
Homes Entered,
Cash Taken
Two local homes were entered and robbed Saturday evening by a thief who apparently
watched the houses until the
occupants left.
.At the Max Fosdick residence, 303 E. Michigan Ave.,
the thief gained entry by cutting through a locked screen
door, and took "a small amount
of change", police said. The
Fosdicks were away from home
for only an hour.
At the Milton Harman home,
217 Detroit St., the thief entered through an unlocked door,
took $25, and wet a bed. The
Hartman family were away
from home only for about two
hours.
The thefts bear some similarity to others throughout the
county where unlocked homes
were entered and cash taken,
police said, but no damage was
done in other cases. Jewelry as
well as cash was taken from
one residence.

Wind Damage
Slight But
Widespread
The violent storms that ripped across Michigan Monday
eased their force in the Saline
area. Only light damage was reported.
The most spectacular storm
effect was unwitnessed Monday
afternoon — lightning struck a
tree on Gerald Grafs property
on Waterworks Rd. and blew it
apart with such violence that a
stick was driven into the road
and chips were strewn over the
whole lot. There is no building
on the site.
Wind took the City Hall's
downstairs door off its hinges,
removed shingles and TV antennae all over the area, and cleared local trees of brush -1- two
truckloads of fallen branches
were carted- away by the city
DPW*'        .-.;"■  ^     .
Insurance men were swamped
with claims Tuesday, but all of
them were minor.
