Operetta Is
Tom Sawyer
Story to Music
By Laureeh "Woodward . :
Of The Pioneer Staff
The* operetta, "Mississippi Melody" will.be presented tonight in
the Clare , school auditorium at
8:15 by the choral groups in the
high school.
The Btory'takes place in a'-small
town located near the AlissiEsippi
River, ' Characters are typical
small town folks most interested1
in the affairs of themselves and
their neighbors instead of world
affairs.
The scrapes which Huck Finn
(Dick Beery), Tom (Jim Rodabaugh). and Joe (Charlie Zeiter),
manage to get into and the trouble
they have trying to patch np their
family affairs after it's all over
with are the main attractions of
the operetta.
In the romance department
Becky Thatcher (Jean Bowler) Is
attractetd by Tom Sawyer and
Susy Harper (Ann Jackson) by
Sidney (Dexter Hubel). The two
older girls, Mary (Lydabelle Bicknell), and Ella 'Mae (Mary Tice)
are interested in Steamboat Sam
(Kyle Hanley) and Puddinhead
Wilson (Roger Brinkerhoff) respectively.
Tom's Aunt Polly played by
Twila Beery and their busybody
neighbors, Miss Watson (Pat Barber) and the Widow (Marilyn
Smith) are also main stars in the
performance.
Mrs. Harper (Bonnie Stanley)
is Joe's mother and Mrs, Phelps,
played by Darylene Schunk, 1$
Ella Mae's mother.'
The traditional southern mammy is portrayed by Kay:Tice.-
These factors and others add up
to an enjoyable evening for ■ all.

Ted Hoersch
On M.S.G.
Dean's List
Ted Hoersch, a Clare high school
graduate* attending Michigau State
College, is one of the 658 students
whose names appear on the Honors List for winter term, 1955.
The Honors List names students
who maintained an academic average of 3.5 (B plus) or higher.
The Clare Public School announced the successful conclusion
of another year of adult education
this week, and With it some facts
and figures on tlie ever-growing
popularity of this back-to-school
movement. .■■■•■■
Adults numbering,, over 160, took
part in thirteen.classes during the
10-week term and enjoyed over
25j)0 hours of instruction in coursed covering these subjects: Public
Speaking, Psychology, Income
Tax for Individuals, "
Welding, Driver Education. Slipcover and' Drapery Techniques,
Ceramics, Photography, Typing,
Bookkeeping, Business Law, and
Physical Activities for Men.
The total cost of the program
this, year .was $1061.16, which includes teachers' salaries and the
cost. pf. spme materials and supplies. .' • ,
Registration fees and small
charges for some materials
brought Ih $563.00, leaving a net
cost-of, $498.16, which'; will be
further cut down through a reimbursement program .set,up by the
state' legislature. The amount of
reimbursement' accruing- to , the
Clare school win' probably -.'total
about.$200 and leave a,net, cost,to
the school board of slightly less
than $3,00. ' ;"'•"•
This stage in-the, development
of the Clare Adul't Evening School
can 'result in ■ mapy* refinements
and improvements *iri the' offerings
of the program.- :•:**. * .* .
Consideration is, being given to
increasing the one-term * program
to two terms 6f. 10 . weeks each.
The first term would' be given-in
the fall and be* designed to end
before Christmas, and the second
term to begin about the middle qf
January and end in early March.
Thistwo-terni setup, if' adopted
would make it possible- for-'persons Interested, in . taking more
than one course to spread the worlt
out, taking one course in the fall
and another In the winter, thus
taking up one night each week.
Currently, in order to take niore
than one course, a person nius't b,e
able to be free two'or more nights
a Week". ■ ' ■ , •
Another possibility. arising out
of a two-term program would be
the offering of a more advanced
program of work. In typing,* for
example, a basic, beginning course
could be offered in the fall and an
advanced follow-up course in the
winter. The same would be true in
many other subject fields.
Another phase of the adult evening school receiving investigation
by local school authorities is the
possibility of offering credit programs, 'in order that high school
or college credit could be offered
to enrollees. The credit program is
rife with problems, but wofk Is
being done to ease the mkny restrictions.
"The future of adult school pro-
grama is a very bright one*', said
Supt. of Schools T. C. Campbell
this week.
"Michigan is a leader in, this
movement and showing the way
for the nation as a whole. Clare
can take pride in Its own achievement in Adult Evening School
work, as it shows the way to the
many "small towns and cities df
the state in. establishing a really
worthwhile -educational program
for. adults," he said.
On Honor Roil
Mark Langsdon of Temple was
on the honor roll for the winter
term at the Sault Branch of Michigan Tech. He is a sophombre
liberal arts student.

Haggart Is
Batting Star
In Clare Win
The Clare pioneer Baseball
team took a hard won 15-14 victory from Farwell on April 21.
It took the Pioneers two and
one-half hours and seven innings
to pull it off.
Bill Siel was starting pitcher,
but in,the 7th inning, John Miller
came in, as Clare fell behind,
Fred Haggart walked off with
honors for the game with five hits
for five times at bat. He drove in
four runs, and had a triple, a
double, and three singles record
for the game.
Nard Robinette and Bob Sharp
had two hits each. Clare had 15
hits to Farweil's seven, with a
total of five errors,
Said Pioneer Coach Bob Baker,
"Our pitching; was weak, with too
many bases on balls. This will
have to be improved."
The Pioneers meet St, Louis
next, on May 2, at 3:30 p.m.
First Round
Polio Shots
Completed
It only took 40 minutes last
Wednesday, but now parents of
160 Clare and. rural Clare children
can breath easier in the coming
polio season. ?
The Tri-County Health unit Salk
polio vaccination team gave the
first shots of vaccine to. 415 first
and second gi'ade^u. *in a .swing
around the county to Clare, Harri-
sbn, and Farwell schools, April 20.
. There; are still between 25 and
30 youngsters in the county. to
have their initial shot. They are
children who were absent on the
day the shots were given. 133
were given shots at Harrison, 122
at Farwell, and 160 at Clare.
County health officials were
well-pleased with the speed with
which the first round of the vaccinations were given.
"We spent more time traveling
from school to school than we did
giving the shots," Mrs. Kathryn
Freeman, Clare eounty health
nurse said.
She handed a pat on the back
to school officials, volunteer workers, and to the children themselves.
' "We were So well-organized that
the children had their shots before they even had a chance to
get scared and panicky", she said.
Buses transported first and second
graders from rural schools into
schools in the three towns.
A representative from the National Foundation was at Clare
school and was most favorably impressed by the organization and
efficiency of Health-.and School
officials in giving the vaccinations.
She said that the system could be
recommended for use in other
schools.
There were varied reactions
from the youngsters. Some were
surprised to find that it didn't
hurt. At Harrison, where lollipops
were awarded after the shots were
given, one lad had a change of
heart after falling to return the
permission slip his mother had
given him to return to the school.

The Clare Public School announced the successful conclusion of another year of adult education this week, and With it some facts and figures on tlie ever-growing popularity of this back-to-school movement. .■■■•■■ Adults numbering,, over 160, took part in thirteen.classes during the 10-week term and enjoyed over 25j)0 hours of instruction in coursed covering these subjects: Public Speaking, Psychology, Income Tax for Individuals, " Welding, Driver Education. Slipcover and' Drapery Techniques, Ceramics, Photography, Typing, Bookkeeping, Business Law, and Physical Activities for Men. The total cost of the program this, year .was $1061.16, which includes teachers' salaries and the cost. pf. spme materials and supplies. .' • , Registration fees and small charges for some materials brought Ih $563.00, leaving a net cost-of, $498.16, which'; will be further cut down through a reimbursement program .set,up by the state' legislature. The amount of reimbursement' accruing- to , the Clare school win' probably -.'total about.$200 and leave a,net, cost,to the school board of slightly less than $3,00. ' ;"'•"• This stage in-the, development of the Clare Adul't Evening School can 'result in ■ mapy* refinements and improvements *iri the' offerings of the program.- :•:**. * .* . Consideration is, being given to increasing the one-term * program to two terms 6f. 10 . weeks each. The first term would' be given-in the fall and be* designed to end before Christmas, and the second term to begin about the middle qf January and end in early March. Thistwo-terni setup, if' adopted would make it possible- for-'persons Interested, in . taking more than one course to spread the worlt out, taking one course in the fall and another In the winter, thus taking up one night each week. Currently, in order to take niore than one course, a person nius't b,e able to be free two'or more nights a Week". ■ ' ■ , • Another possibility. arising out of a two-term program would be the offering of a more advanced program of work. In typing,* for example, a basic, beginning course could be offered in the fall and an advanced follow-up course in the winter. The same would be true in many other subject fields. Another phase of the adult evening school receiving investigation by local school authorities is the possibility of offering credit programs, 'in order that high school or college credit could be offered to enrollees. The credit program is rife with problems, but wofk Is being done to ease the mkny restrictions. "The future of adult school pro- grama is a very bright one*', said Supt. of Schools T. C. Campbell this week. "Michigan is a leader in, this movement and showing the way for the nation as a whole. Clare can take pride in Its own achievement in Adult Evening School work, as it shows the way to the many "small towns and cities df the state in. establishing a really worthwhile -educational program for. adults" he said.

The Tri-County Health unit Salk polio vaccination team gave the first shots of vaccine to. 415 first and second gi'ade^u. *in a .swing around the county to Clare, Harri- sbn, and Farwell schools, April 20. . There; are still between 25 and 30 youngsters in the county. to have their initial shot. They are children who were absent on the day the shots were given. 133 were given shots at Harrison, 122 at Farwell, and 160 at Clare. County health officials were well-pleased with the speed with which the first round of the vaccinations were given. "We spent more time traveling from school to school than we did giving the shots" Mrs. Kathryn Freeman, Clare eounty health nurse said. She handed a pat on the back to school officials, volunteer workers, and to the children themselves. ' "We were So well-organized that the children had their shots before they even had a chance to get scared and panicky", she said. Buses transported first and second graders from rural schools into schools in the three towns. A representative from the National Foundation was at Clare school and was most favorably impressed by the organization and efficiency of Health-.and School officials in giving the vaccinations. She said that the system could be recommended for use in other schools. There were varied reactions from the youngsters. Some were surprised to find that it didn't hurt. At Harrison, where lollipops were awarded after the shots were given, one lad had a change of heart after falling to return the permission slip his mother had given him to return to the school. .
