CHS Back
To Class "C*

Clare high school will probably be
competing next year as Class "C"
although >the school enrollment is
climbing. The Pioneers are being
reclassified under brackets which
bring schools of Clare's size in
"C" rating.

find itself just under the line dividing "C" and "B" schoools.

next fall", Principal Richard
Wheeler said.
Tlie Michigan State High School
Athletic Association announced
the changes last week which affect
most of the State's medium and
small high schools in their inter-
scholastic team contests for next
year.
Class "C" will include schools
with student population of from
175 to 374. These numbers separating classes have been upped from
last year's 150 to 324.
Class "A" is for schools of 900
or more students. Class "B" is now
for schools of 375 to 899 students.
Class "D" includes the group having less than 175 Students.
No effect is seen for the Mid-
Michigan "B" Conference. This
group has given no indication that
a name change is considered although, some of the member
schools competing last year as
"B" schools, will be Class "C" in
1955-56.
