School Plans
Homecoming
October 26
CHS Homecoming is still fpur
weeks away, but plans will start
and shortly be converted to action
in preparation for the fall season's
high point in Clare school student
social activity. ,.
Certain to be repeated are. such
sure-fire student attractions as: the
Homecoming Queen selection, pep
meeting on the eve of the football
game with a big bon-fire and snake
dancing through Clare's 'streets,
.the Friday afternoon parade of
bands and floats down McEwan
street, and then the football game
and student-alumni dance afterward.
Homecoming hoopla October 26th
will get added stimulation this
year due to a Clare retailers'
special sale promotion timed for
the same week end which is aimed at filling the town and streets
with shppping "Fiesta" crowds.
Entertainment at parade time
will be heightened by the addition
of the marching. band from Ithaca
High School, here early for a game
appearance.
In past years, the contest for the
selection of a CHS Homecoming
Queen has claimed early attention
with students and townspeople
alike in enthusiastic support for
one of the several candidates. Representatives among girls in each of
the-three lower high school classes vie for the honor of being named
on the "Queen's Court."
The parade promises to be a
greater spectacle than ever before,
and will be viewed by curbside
crowds drawn to Clare by that
event, and by the Chamber of
Commerce   Retailers'   promotion.

.Clare High 'School's ,Pionee|s
came'to the end of their'long, Vijgr
tory trail on the fpotbah fields *$f

last sixteen starts. - f-

they tore gaps in the CHS forWarfi

not quite measure the difference
between the ;squads in that" gSJnfe s

by referee Walt Coats on a charge ot'

It was not that the Green arid
White didn't have inspired moments
on the battlefield too!       * .-. •■       |*
A goal-line defense stand'in the
first quarter brought applause idv
Clare when they resisted four Stair
inary power thrusts'from inside the
ten-yard mark. And in '.the off eh:
si've game, Dick- Roe'S- open-field
sprint of thirty yards early in the
second stanza demonstrated fine
running and blocking. Clare farts
were brought to their feet when,
their team struck deep into Seminary territory in a fourth quarter,
threat, but the advance halted when
the Cardinals stole the ball. Clare's
most serious scoring threat was
stopped on downs on the Seminary
4-yard line,   .
The Saginaw team's line which,
averaged 181 pounds and charged
hard and 'low was just too rugged
for Clare's good, but lighter fore-'
wards. Offensively, Perry's men
never managed to mount a sustained drive.
Turning to an aerial attack when
their running game was bottled up*,
the Pioneers sent Beery and Craw--
ford out to gather in passes for
gains. While not strong enough yet
to earn scores, the Clare passing attack may develop into a tactic to
keep opponents off balance and open for running successes.
With one game won, and,one lost
in non-conference starts thus fati,
Clare now waits the .Friday jj.ig'j'"
invasion of Chesaning, (he first
Mid-Michigan "B" encounter., The

J. V.'s  Downed
By Lydabelle Bicknell
Pioneer'staff Writer
Thursday night saw the "Little
Pioneers" go down to defeat in their
first 195G start against Class A
Alma 19-0.
On the whole the J.V. didn't hold
together too well as a team, 'but
there were some good plays by Deb
Nolen, Jack Smith, Bill and John
Zinser.
The first" Alma touchdown was
scored by left halfback Tomlin who
ran 26 yards around right end.
Quarterback Wilcox passed to left
end Rodenbo for the extra point.
The story was much the same in
the second quarter with fullback
Mills plowing 1 yard for a TD.
Alma kicked. to start the second
half and the "Little Pioneers" looked a bit more promising. Hope was
shortlived, as Alma took over and
went for the last score Of the game
on an eight yard pass play from
quarterback Wilcox to left «nd Rodenbo. Wilcox again passed, to fullback Mills for the extra point.
The J. V. loss was due mostly to
inexperience and the fact that they
Were outclasses and out-we,ighed.
