Tom Cam
St. Clai
ing
School
i Superintendent of Clare
Public School Tom C. Campbell announced this week
that he will resign his position here to accept a post in
administration with Lake-
view Public School at St.
Clair Shores, Michigan. Mr.
'Campbell informed the Clare
School Board that his resignation is to be effective January 1, 1956.
The change will take
Campbell to a school over
four times larger than the
Clare Public School where he-
is to begin in the Lakeview's
schools newly created office
of Assistant Superintendent.
St. Clair Shores is one of
Michigan's more rapidly mushrooming suburban communities,
and according to figures given to
Mr. Campbell, the school has
grown in the past fifteen years
from a very small school to a modern educational plant with 138
teachers and more than four thousand enrolled students in kindergarten through the twelfth grade.
'The Clare superintendent said
that he had had the offer of the
new position under advisement for
more than a month and gave the
Clare School Board his decision
last Friday. Board members were
aware that Campbell was considering another position.
The resignation was offered .by
Campbell and accepted by the
Board with sincere regrets on both
sides. It was known that the Superintendent liked Clare and was
well satisfied here, but friends and
associates of the Campbells realized that the St. Clair Shores offer
was one which couldn't be refused.
The move will leave the leadership of Clare school reorganizing
and expansion plans in the hands
of someone yet to be named, but

prior to his college entrance.
Upon graduation from high.school
the young man being helped completed studies, met qualifications of
the North Michigan Conference

, This qualified him to enter the.
church college by paying only
■three-fourths of the regular $185
semester tuition. Paul isvworing on
a five-year course of study to
wards ordination in tlje church.
TO help defray other expenses the
ambitious young man works 30
hours a week in a shop making
television and radio cabinets.
The Rev. Malson recently received a letter from President Elifcer
Becker of Huntington College thank
irig him for the ministerial tuition
.assistance aiid commending the
* Sunday School for the interest
shown. ,
Miss Olive Evans came to Clare
in, 1944 from her native Iowa, because she had heard Michigan was a
good state for teachers to work in.
And in the ten-plus.-years sne-s
been here, Miss Evans will tell you,
she's not been disillusioned.
She came to Clare to teach Junior High classes, but for the past
couple of years Miss Evans has
been teaching freshman English,
and languages, her major field.
"Besides the fact that I found
teaching in the Clare schools highly
satisfying I also found that Clare
was a friendly town to newcomers"
remarked Miss Evans.
At that she almost missed coming
after she'd gotten an offer of "the
job in Clare. Her father became
ill, and she had decided not to
leave Iowa, when former Clare superintendent Austin Bates maae a
long distance call, and reoffered
the job.
■Now besides her teaching duties,
she is active in the Susannah Wesley Circle of the Methodist WSCS,
is a member of the Past Matron's
Club of the 'Zenobia Chapter OES,
and also serves as Esther in that
group and belongs to the Study
Club.
Miss Evans, started teacMng m
Hamburg, Iowa in junior high
school. Her next move was to a
Reaching job in Oakland, Iowa her
home town, ,-
There besides teaching Latin, social studies and physical education,
she coached a girl's basketball
team in competitive games. (Iowa
is One of the few states that allows
girl's competitive basketball.)
Then in 1944', because she wanted
to see-more of the United -States,-
she listed her name with an East
Lansing teacher's placement service, and got the Clare job. '
, Miss Evans took her Bachelor of
Arts-degree at the University OI
Iowa at Iowa City,
■ Following that she completed
work at both Northwestern University and Colorado State Teacher's
College, and gained 20, credit hours,
toward a Master's Degree,
She was taking further courses
in French last summer at the University of Michigan when she became ill, and had a siege in the hospital that interrupted her stuates.
She probably will go DaCK and finish the work some day, Miss Eyans
said, ' . '
Miss Evan's father and two brothers : were bankers, ahd at one
time she hail planned to go into the
business field. She also nad a strong
interest in journalism,
When she went to school and
became a teacher, she thought
she might yet go into one
ot* the other fields, but after teaching for a few terms, liked it so well
she" decided to stick with it. Now
she counts over 20 years of teaching
service to high schoolers.
The handsome, dark , haired
teachers admits she is a bookworm,
with a strong preference for "French
literature, in line with her major
field, and a second choice among
the early American historical novels. .....
Miss Evans enjoys music, and
plays the piano, although She says
she's strictly an amateur. .She had
a piano of her own once, and her
plan, is to get one again.
She also likes to travel and has"
been both. East and WeSi In" the
United States. '•''''•
"The West is grand and .beautiful,
but there's a lure*about seeing relics and reminders of Colonial
America in the East that's pretty
strong, too, and I can't" say which
I like best." Miss Evans said.
Just in the.process of getting settled in a new apartment, Miss Evans enjoys keeping house and cooking, with baked goods a Specialty of
hers. And while she won't tell you
this, her many friends, who enioy
her dinners, will bear witness that
she's a Superlatively good cook indeed,
Miss Evans lik.es to keep track of
former students, and. manages to
keep in contact with a good many.
Lee Sowle Photo
She counts among her one-time
/pupils a doctor, several pharmacists, a commercial artist (who got
a start with maps and blackboard
murals in Miss Evans* geography
class) and any number of teachers,
several of whom are language .instructors. I .
During her years,, in the classroom Miss Evans has watched an
attitude of more cooperation and
friendliness grow up between teacher and student. , .
"Youngsters have a voice in the
way classwork and projects are
done, "nowadays," commented* Miss
Evans.
"I think no good'teacher, if the
youngsters' ideas are sound, would
refuse to give them their due," she
said. ....
Basically, today's youngsters are
much the same as any other gener-.
ation she .thinks, so far as high spirits and fertile minds go. '. ' " ' •'
"But high school students now
seem to have an increasingly sharper'awareness of the. opportunities
awaiting.tllem beyond high School.''
, Like another teacher with plus-
20-years at Clare, Miss Evans thirikii
. Clare - parents have a good attitude
"toward the school.
"I've had excellent cooperation
here from Parents who seem genuinely interested in their children's
progress and problems," sne said,
With ^retirement still many years
"in the "future. Miss Evans has no
'particular plafts for that time. . '
" 'My father1 always taught tls .to
live- each day for itself, to enjoy
"theni most, and it's always worked
•Very well for me " she believes. •

Campbell announced this week that he will resign his position here to accept a post in administration with Lake- view Public School at St. Clair Shores, Michigan. Mr. 'Campbell informed the Clare School Board that his resignation is to be effective January 1, 1956. The change will take Campbell to a school over four times larger than the Clare Public School where he- is to begin in the Lakeview's schools newly created office of Assistant Superintendent. St. Clair Shores is one of Michigan's more rapidly mushrooming suburban communities, and according to figures given to Mr. Campbell, the school has grown in the past fifteen years from a very small school to a modern educational plant with 138 teachers and more than four thousand enrolled students in kindergarten through the twelfth grade. 'The Clare superintendent said that he had had the offer of the new position under advisement for more than a month and gave the Clare School Board his decision last Friday. Board members were aware that Campbell was considering another position. The resignation was offered .by Campbell and accepted by the Board with sincere regrets on both sides. It was known that the Superintendent liked Clare and was well satisfied here, but friends and associates of the Campbells realized that the St. Clair Shores offer was one which couldn't be refused. The move will leave the leadership of Clare school reorganizing and expansion plans in the hands of someone yet to be named, but Fined When He Changed Birth Record > Richard Bruce Kogler, of Grand Rapids, appeared in Clare Municipal Court on November 5, on a charge of presenting a falsified birth certificate in a local bar last summer, to be served liquor.

According to the "Rev. Charies Malson, pastor of the Brown Corners church, approximately $25 is being sent monthly to the church college to pay the tuition of. Paul Sheets, a 1955 Harrison liigh School graduate. Paul is a member of the Brown Corners Church and worked en the Charles Kleinhardt farm prior to his college entrance. Upon graduation from high.school the young man being helped completed studies, met qualifications of the North Michigan Conference Ministerial Board ,and obtained.a Quarterly Conference License to preach. • ■ , This qualified him to enter the. church college by paying only ■three-fourths of the regular $185 semester tuition. Paul isvworing on a five-year course of study to wards ordination in tlje church. TO help defray other expenses the ambitious young man works 30 hours a week in a shop making television and radio cabinets. The Rev. Malson recently received a letter from President Elifcer Becker of Huntington College thank irig him for the ministerial tuition .assistance aiid commending the * Sunday School for the interest shown. , Miss Olive Evans came to Clare in, 1944 from her native Iowa, because she had heard Michigan was a good state for teachers to work in. And in the ten-plus.-years sne-s been here, Miss Evans will tell you, she's not been disillusioned. She came to Clare to teach Junior High classes, but for the past couple of years Miss Evans has been teaching freshman English, and languages, her major field. "Besides the fact that I found teaching in the Clare schools highly satisfying I also found that Clare was a friendly town to newcomers" remarked Miss Evans. At that she almost missed coming after she'd gotten an offer of "the job in Clare. Her father became ill, and she had decided not to leave Iowa, when former Clare superintendent Austin Bates maae a long distance call, and reoffered the job. ■Now besides her teaching duties, she is active in the Susannah Wesley Circle of the Methodist WSCS, is a member of the Past Matron's Club of the 'Zenobia Chapter OES, and also serves as Esther in that group and belongs to the Study Club. Miss Evans, started teacMng m Hamburg, Iowa in junior high school. Her next move was to a Reaching job in Oakland, Iowa her home town, ,- There besides teaching Latin, social studies and physical education, she coached a girl's basketball team in competitive games. (Iowa is One of the few states that allows girl's competitive basketball.) Then in 1944', because she wanted to see-more of the United -States,- she listed her name with an East Lansing teacher's placement service, and got the Clare job. ' , Miss Evans took her Bachelor of Arts-degree at the University OI Iowa at Iowa City, ■ Following that she completed work at both Northwestern University and Colorado State Teacher's College, and gained 20, credit hours, toward a Master's Degree, She was taking further courses in French last summer at the University of Michigan when she became ill, and had a siege in the hospital that interrupted her stuates. She probably will go DaCK and finish the work some day, Miss Eyans said, ' . ' Miss Evan's father and two brothers : were bankers, ahd at one time she hail planned to go into the business field. She also nad a strong interest in journalism, When she went to school and became a teacher, she thought she might yet go into one ot* the other fields, but after teaching for a few terms, liked it so well she" decided to stick with it. Now she counts over 20 years of teaching service to high schoolers. The handsome, dark , haired teachers admits she is a bookworm, with a strong preference for "French literature, in line with her major field, and a second choice among the early American historical novels. ..... Miss Evans enjoys music, and plays the piano, although She says she's strictly an amateur. .She had a piano of her own once, and her plan, is to get one again. She also likes to travel and has" been both. East and WeSi In" the United States. '•''''• "The West is grand and .beautiful, but there's a lure*about seeing relics and reminders of Colonial America in the East that's pretty strong, too, and I can't" say which I like best." Miss Evans said. Just in the.process of getting settled in a new apartment, Miss Evans enjoys keeping house and cooking, with baked goods a Specialty of hers. And while she won't tell you this, her many friends, who enioy her dinners, will bear witness that she's a Superlatively good cook indeed, Miss Evans lik.es to keep track of former students, and. manages to keep in contact with a good many. Lee Sowle Photo She counts among her one-time /pupils a doctor, several pharmacists, a commercial artist (who got a start with maps and blackboard murals in Miss Evans* geography class) and any number of teachers, several of whom are language .instructors. I . During her years,, in the classroom Miss Evans has watched an attitude of more cooperation and friendliness grow up between teacher and student. , . "Youngsters have a voice in the way classwork and projects are done, "nowadays" commented* Miss Evans. "I think no good'teacher, if the youngsters' ideas are sound, would refuse to give them their due" she said. .... Basically, today's youngsters are much the same as any other gener-. ation she .thinks, so far as high spirits and fertile minds go. '. ' " ' •' "But high school students now seem to have an increasingly sharper'awareness of the. opportunities awaiting.tllem beyond high School.'' , Like another teacher with plus- 20-years at Clare, Miss Evans thirikii . Clare - parents have a good attitude "toward the school. "I've had excellent cooperation here from Parents who seem genuinely interested in their children's progress and problems" sne said, With ^retirement still many years "in the "future. Miss Evans has no 'particular plafts for that time. . ' " 'My father1 always taught tls .to live- each day for itself, to enjoy "theni most, and it's always worked •Very well for me " she believes. • Of Rotary Chronicle ". ...
