Recall These 16
** __«_
Superintendents
Just for the fun of. testing the -memory of some oldes res***- '
dents of Glare,—or as a .matter of informing ntany of
Clare's younger generation or new-comers, it -might be fun j
to ask who remembers the names of all Clare's school sup** ■
eriritendens, and their order of succession to the office here? I
Beginning with T. C. Campbell, the present school superintendent who came to Clare in 1952, his predecessors and
the years in which they took office are: .
Austin Bates, 1941
E. D. Kennedy, 1932 •
G, Kichard" Bogan, 1927
Boger Zinn, 1926
Walter Gumser, 1923 *
J. P. Jones, 1920
*-■ L. S. Gullen, 1918
J. J. Hornberger, 1915
O. L..Poulson, 1912 .
A. E. Modern, 1909
J. Q. Roode, 1905
W.-D. Biggs, 1902
Philip Bennett, 1899 * :
H. A. Graham, 1898

Were you with us all the way Jfaack? PxipbablY Mpi,
many people have memories as good as ihe records b£K
the school itself. But just for fun, it's amusing to try io
recall who bossed the school during one's own years in
the halls of learning.
■*■* ■ *
The school superintendent is a man of mighty,importance
in any community. Much of a school's progress, and good
professional results in education can be directly attributed
to the superintendent.
'But in the last final analysis, the question "Who Runs
Our Schools?" must be answered, "We All Do!" 'And we
really do too! Public opinion and the ballot at school elections are the most powerful factors for good or poor educational systems.
Editors of Pathfinder, the TOWN JOURNAL have printed a questionnaire concerning a town's good or bad points.
Here are some questions applying to schools from that test:
1. Most high school graduates stay in our home town
after finishing school? .
2. Teachers' salaries are as good a% or better than the
state average.
3*There is goodheali_i_p&i*^|e„ in ihe school?
4. There is a school library with a collection of recent
books and periodicals useful to the students? • -
5. Schools have adequate room for present and future
enrollment?
6. Fire rates are low on the school building, and protective measures satisfy both the law and local citizens?
7. School cafeteria serves outstanding meals?
8. Good soningtkeeps the school neighborhood desirable and attractive?
9. There's as much interest in school elections as in local and national issues?
10. School taxes support progress, yet remain in proportion with other expenses of government?
11. Recreation facilities make the school a, popular
and wholesome center for youth?
12. There is an active P-TA?
No questionnaire is foolproof, but if you can remember
who the best school superintendents were in' Clare's history and why, and if you can answer "yes" to 9 or more out
of. the dozen questions above, then our school system is
probably one of which'you can be proud .., compared With
any!

Rushing
The Season
A fire tower operator near Traverse City has reported" seeing.^
doe with twin spotted fawns about
three miles west of Fife 'Lake.
The report, made in the -middle
of April, was first of the season for
the northern area. Game men say
fawn-dropping .time in the north
generally does not get under way
until about June 1.
But while one bit of wildlife was
rushing the season, another would
apparently as soon see winter continue awhile longer.
Lumber operators in an upper
peninsula woodlot cut down a giant
white pine last week and after the
tree hit ground, a bear scurried out
of the top, walked across a Creek,
disappeared 150 yards ' into the
Woods and went back to sleep.
Bears generally hibernate underground, biologist says but this
bruin's den was more than 50 feet
up in a hollow bf the tree.

U-M To Be Medical Center
In Case of Atomic Bombing
Norman Densmore, a resident of
Clare county for many years, passed away, Thursday morning at the
home-of a son at Auburn Heights.
Funeral services-will be held Sun*
day afternoon at 1:00 oclock with
burial at Campbell Corhers hear
west Branch. Arrangements are in
charge of the Stephenson Funeral
Home,...... ■''.. ' ' .. ... .? .
In the event of atomic warfare
the University of Michigan's medical facilities would be increased
six-fold.
The University Hospital has
worked out a joint plan with Civil
Defense officials to make emergency changes which would permit
the -treatment and hospitalization
of 6,000 casualties.
This would make Ann Arbor the
medical center of the state should
there be atomic bombing of industrial areas.
Dr. Roger B. Nelson, associate
director of University Hospital and
hospital co-ordinator for Civil Defense operations of all Washtenaw
County hospitals, said:
"The first thing we would have
to do at University Hospital is
mass-evacuate about SO per.cent of
our .present patients'to dormitory
row until their family, could come
and, transport them home".
The remaining, 10 per cent of the
hospital's patients are not capable
of discharge under any circumstances, he declared.
University officals have approved
emergency use 'of three dormitories which lie directly south of the
hospital should the state undergo
atomic incident, Stockwell, Alice
Lloyd, and Mosher residents halls
have a present total house capacity of 1,-451. -------- ■•-'
"Taking all our physical resources together'*, said Dr. Nelsort
"we cbuld hospitalize a total of
6,000 patient-casualties".
The defense plan calls for a
screening of casualties at points of
evacuation. When they arrive in
Ann Avbdr, all victims of radiation
hums would be sent to Alice Lloyd
Hall, Those suffering other forms
of radiation Si<2knes&-WouW-be hos*
pitalized in Mosher apd patients
requiring general observation
would be sent to Stockwell.
All head and chest injuries would
be referred directly to the University Hospital....
"We have over 450 doctors on our
staff", stated Dr. Nelson. "Together with junior and senior medical
students, the hospital could provide
an emergency medical staff of over
800 doctors".
To meet the critical nursing situation, University officials are
planning on the 300 nurses now on
duty, the 125 private registry nurses, and approximately 400 student
nurses in the School of -Nursing,
making a total emergency nursing
complement of over S00. i
Dr. Nelson also declared that the
duty might toe doubled, even tripled in order to meet the heeds of
casualties.
Every car* every station wagon,
every ambulance would be pressed
into service, meaning that Ann Ar-
■bor .would be choked with.traffic
far exceeding that of an entire season of football Saturdays.
The hospital co-ordinator also declared that the biggest single problem in the medical defense plan is
lack of essential equipment.
"I am reasonably confident," Dr.
Nelson said, "that the physical facilities of the University and the
combined 'hospital-medical school
personnel are sufficient to meet a
predictable emergency. But *we
would lack such itms as surgical
instruments, stretchers, bed pans,
linen, blankets, dressings ahdother
essential equipment"*
Dr. Nelson also indicated that
any new atomic development might
render the plait obsolete, ■"Today,
he said, -'Thei'e must foe more than
one i«e iftthe hole.'* <■

Brightened
Kroger Store
Greets Public
Clean-up, paint-up and brighten-
up are more than, just houseclean-
ing time slogan's at Clare's Kroger
store. A project to brighten and
clean the big supermarket on
Fourth street has finished with a
completely redecorated interior, a
colorful floor and rearranged
shelving and sales unit.
Customers in the store are im-'
pressed with the difference since
the igray concrete floor has *b_>en
replaced with a tile pattern floor
surface of bright blue and blue-
gray squares. The large tile pattern of the ceiling has been brightened with white paint.
Color has been skillfully applied
on the walls in a scheme which
makes the two sides of the building pastel green, and the inside
front and back a warm gray. A
small corner protruding into the
building has been contrasted a
brick red shade for interest.
More changes include the removal of the rail in front of the
check-out lanes to allow traffic to
pass through the front of the store
more freely, and the shifting of
sales units in* the the front of the
building to admit light from the
large show windows.
Bids In For
Farwell School
Twelve bids on construction of a

Although the new building will
provide added high school classroom space, it will be. separate
from the present high school. The
boiler room in the new building is
designed to heat both the old and
mew schools.
The school district has approved
aTaOnd issue to raise 175,000 to pay
for the new school*

I Beginning with T. C. Campbell, the present school superintendent who came to Clare in 1952, his predecessors and the years in which they took office are: . Austin Bates, 1941 E. D. Kennedy, 1932 • G, Kichard" Bogan, 1927 Boger Zinn, 1926 Walter Gumser, 1923 * J. P. Jones, 1920 *-■ L. S. Gullen, 1918 J. J. Hornberger, 1915 O. L..Poulson, 1912 . A. E. Modern, 1909 J. Q.

PxipbablY Mpi, many people have memories as good as ihe records b£K the school itself. But just for fun, it's amusing to try io recall who bossed the school during one's own years in the halls of learning. ■*■* ■ * The school superintendent is a man of mighty,importance in any community. Much of a school's progress, and good professional results in education can be directly attributed to the superintendent. 'But in the last final analysis, the question "Who Runs Our Schools?" must be answered, "We All Do!" 'And we really do too! Public opinion and the ballot at school elections are the most powerful factors for good or poor educational systems. Editors of Pathfinder, the TOWN JOURNAL have printed a questionnaire concerning a town's good or bad points. Here are some questions applying to schools from that test: 1. Most high school graduates stay in our home town after finishing school? . 2. Teachers' salaries are as good a% or better than the state average. 3*There is goodheali_i_p&i*^ e„ in ihe school? 4. There is a school library with a collection of recent books and periodicals useful to the students? • - 5. Schools have adequate room for present and future enrollment? 6. Fire rates are low on the school building, and protective measures satisfy both the law and local citizens? 7. School cafeteria serves outstanding meals? 8. Good soningtkeeps the school neighborhood desirable and attractive? 9. There's as much interest in school elections as in local and national issues? 10. School taxes support progress, yet remain in proportion with other expenses of government? 11. Recreation facilities make the school a, popular and wholesome center for youth? 12. There is an active P-TA? No questionnaire is foolproof, but if you can remember who the best school superintendents were in' Clare's history and why, and if you can answer "yes" to 9 or more out of. the dozen questions above, then our school system is probably one of which'you can be proud .., compared With any!
