A- weekend of action in
the current bowling tournament of the Clare City
Association saw the second-
and third place teams displaced, and three singles
bowlers crowded into the
top-place listing in their
event.
First place scores were
good enough to withstand
the assault of competition
in all divisions, however,
.and doubles performers in
the first and second places
clung to their lead over
the field.
Holding a full hundred
pin advantage over their
nearest rivals, the Independents remain in the
top spot for teams with

"People with small minds

prevention of heart
diseases. The program was

ruary as Heart Month.

from Central Michigan
University, presently engaged in research activity
on detection of heart
defects and diseases.
Dr. Sterling was introduced as one of a very
few persons outside of larger university centers having obtained a Michigan
Heart Association research grant.
Both speakers talked on
the   theme   that coronary-
heart troubles are becom-
regation. He stated that un-. ing more preventable be-
less    one   had    lived    in  cause they are predictable.

Peered At the Tea Leaves
And What Did I See?
"And it' came to pass
is the way some of the
most interesting tales begin, and maybe the interest is whetted because the
the phrase hints of an
insight that foretold
events to come.
Well, certain members
of the Clare High School
graduating class might
*have communicated with
"spirits", or saw a crystal ball vision, or read
their tea leaves. You know
how high school classes
have fun with fanciful predictions about each others
futures?
Authors of a piece like
this in the Pioneer Annual
for the year 1951 have
seen their lighthearted
fun prove remarkably accurate after they wrote,
"We who have studied our
classmates, make this
(1951) " prophecy about
*their future. . . "
It could have been written
by Barbara Paxton Wal-
dron, literary editor for
.. the *51 CHS Annual, or
Marilyn Masten Lamont
who was the society editor
or the class editor, or
any other on the  staff.

the prediction for Betty

as a cafe operator while
in reality she and her
husband are proprietors

But at least it is located
next door to Anderson's
Drug store in Clare where
food is served at the lunch
counter.
Just read what the prophecy said about Ron
Cook, another one of the
grads of 1951.
"After many years of
stamping prices on cans,
Bud Cook is now manager
of the local Kroger
store. . . "
And about Lee Sowle,
"Watch the birdie and
smile". Rather supernatural prophesying^ wouldn't you say?
Oh, sure, these fellows
probably indicated interest in their vocations
while yet students at
Clare High, but how often
does a youthful interest
turn out to be a lifetime
livlihood a dozen years
later?
How about Dick Hubel, of
whom it was said he is
now a rodeo rider? Well,
he rides!

day recently when its
owner, Gayla Hochstetler
was _ searching through
some keepsakes. She had
been a high school sophomore in that year. The
striking accuracy of many
of the predictions seemed
like good material for a
feature story.

He  spoke  of the world

problems.
He said, "However remote from Clare, world
affairs still affect us in
some way". He advised the
women to read and keep
informed about world affairs, because no action
can be taken unless there
is complete understanding
about the problems which
confront us.

No Cut
In School
LunchHour
The Clare School Board
Monday tabled a proposal
to shorten the regular
noon lunch period and indicated that no further
action will be taken on the
issue until the beginning of
school again next September.
And in other consideration at the meeting, the
Board began study of a
project that may result in
re-training of adults to
prepare them for jobs in
higher skills than they now
possess.
The shorter noon period
has been discussed for
some time as helpful to
a situation in which students who now eat lunch at
school find a full hour to
be more time than they
need, and problems about
the occupation of their remaining time arise. The
Board's tabling of the
proposal was to allow more
time to find out if too
short a lunch hour would
be a hardship on students
who walk a long distance
home in the town for their
lunches.
Talking about a need for
certain specialized vocational training for adults
in the Clare community,
the Board appointed a representative committee of
its members to meet with
representatives of local industry to discuss the possible start of such a project.
