Scot's Shots BY SCOT JEFFEIIIE8

"I juit stopped around bcoMiw I heard tomaone tall the editor he'd have t o eat thoei words I"

Come next Monday night, there will be many amonR us who will heave a sigh of relief and, hopefully, get back to the business of

whit might be classified as "normal living."

That's when the decision on Lowell's school problems will hive been reached, for better or for worse.

A controversy such as the millage issue can be good for a community. . .but it also can have dire side effect. There has been strong evidence that the latter is substantially true in this case.

If nothing else, the present difficulties have done much to awaken people to the fact that school problems are here t o d a y . . . not just in some far-removed district nor at some far distant date.

Many ill-founded rumors have been disspelled (though it must be reported, in all fairness, that others will persist) and there is a feeling of public awareness that bodes well for the fu-ture.

As we started to say initially, the time of decision is at hand. Those among the readership whose interests lie elsewhere will be happy to hear that this problem will disappear from the headlines in future editions.

All that can be said has been said. Most of it l as been said in the columns of this newspaper. We can only hope that we have been of service.. .win, lose or draw.

One of the more pleasant aspects of what we call normal living is-just around the corner. . .namely, spring.

According to those much more learned than the Smithy, the vernal equinox (n r v ' h r V * a 'cai tfTpreuiofU will arrive at 2:08 p. m. on March 20. J

At that time, sqy astromomers, the sun will cross the equa-tor, bringing about longer days than nights . . .and warmer weather too. Which, in turn , will cause the grass to turn green and that, of course, means the golf season will be upon us once again.

As those among the faithful are all-too-painfully aware, we have a particular affinity to the gentle art of stroking the small white spheroid around what used to be pastureland.

I doubt seriously that we gain much medical benefit from same, though certainly walking several miles per outing has got to be better for a person's health than other less-strenuous pur-suits.

However, golf is, in my estimation, the finest form of mental therapy ever contrived. This may be for the simple rea-son that I seldom tee off with a specific scorc or goal in mind

and, because of this, there is little cause to become provoked when things don' t go too well.

Instead, I am most happy to just be out communing with nature and let the birdies, pars or bogeys (plus an occasional double or triple bogey) fall where they may.

I LSD Attracts Students! Junior high students in .Lowell appear to be "addicted" to

LSD.

In this case, however, LSD stands for "Let 's Study Delinquen cy", a nine-week course to be conducted daily by members of the Lowell Police Department commencing March 31.

The course will be attended by 50 students as part of the junior high's unique elective curriculum.

A total of i 10 students registered for the class as a "first choice" and 93 others picked it as a second choice.

Issue Featured on TV An analysis of issues at stake in next Monday's special millage

election in the Lowell Area School District will be featured in a spe-

cial documentary scheduled for viewing this Thursday night (March 13) on WZZM-TV at 8 :00 p.m.

Entitled "Community At The Crossroads," the program fea-tures interviews with residents of the d i s t r i c t . . . businessmen, far-mers, property owners, teachers, school officials and students.

Station officials say that Lowell was selected as subject mater-

ial for the documentary inasmuch as issues involved in the matter of providing education are typical of those being experienced by

school district across the state and nation.

"However," he cautioned, "it will not produce the bonanza some people apparently seem to believe at this time. Our estimates

indicate that about $17,000 will come from the new assessments in

old Metternick, Dale Shade and Gould Rivette to the following mo-tion submitted by Jones:

"Moved that the Board of Education does re-affirm its intent to levy only that amount of money, by virtue of millage up to seven mills, that is necessary to support an adequate education program."

The board is seeking voter approval for seven additional mills for operating expenses in a special millage election scheduled for next Monday, March 17;

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at two voting sites -Runciman Elementary School in Lowell and Alto Elementary

School in Alto. Though absent from the city on vacation, the seventh mem-

ber of the board. Dr. Donald Gerard, had indicated prior to his de-parture an intent to support the motion, according to Dr. Reagan.

While the roll call vote established a precedent, the board has in six of the past seven years, not levied the full amount of millage allocated or voted.

"It has always been our policy to levy only the millage requir-ed to operate the school system." explained Dr. Reagan. "This year, because we are attempting to reduce the deficit, the full amount was

levied." Another record turnout is expected at the polls Monday. Two

previous requests for additional millage were turned down in August and November last year. . .the latter by a 113-vote margin when 60.7 percent of the registered electorate turned out to reject a seven-mill

request by a vole of 1136-1023.

The August election, for 3.3 mills, resulted in a 457-457 stand-off when a recount upset an apparent one-vote victory.

Both requests, as is the case with Monday's election, were for

one-year duration.

Two Men Killed in Area Crash

Two area men are dead and three others hospitalized, one in serious condition, following a car-tnick accident on M-21 west of Lowell Monday afternoon.

Dead on arrival at ButteYworth Hospital were:

Ridjard Rutherford, 52, of 1424 Lafayette, Lowell, and Louis Tichelaar, 51, of 8808 Ridcert Road, Saranac.

The two dead men were passengers in a car driven by Mar-vin McQueen, 39, of 11940 Potter Road, Lowell. McQueen and

Ormand Lyons, 45, of 131 S. Center, Lowell, are listed in fair con-dition at the hospital.

Another passenger, Gordon Van Timmeren, 28, of 9239 Ver-gennes, Lowell, was listed in critical condition Monday, but was im-proved Tuesday afternoon.

Uninjured was William Whitney, 46, of Sparta, driver of the truck.

According to trooper Richard Jarman of the Rockford State Police Post, the truck was westbound on M-21, commonly referred to as "Accident Alley," and was passing another car in a no-passing zone.

McQueen's car, eastbound, apparently swerved to the left to avoid a head-on collision. The truck sheared off both doors on the right side of the car in the ensuing crash.

All five men were employees of Kelvinator and were returning from work. Tichelaar had been employed by the company exactly 22 years.

State Police are continuing to investigate the accident.

Rutherford's brother, John, was fatally injured on M-21 on December 11, 1964 in a head-on crash not far from Monday's acc-ident scene.

The fatalities were the first on M-21 since May 3 ,1968 , when three Saranac residents were killed in a car-train crash at the C & O

crossing in Lowell. Also killed on January 26,1968 was a Lowell woman whose car was struck head-on by an ambulance near the Grand Rapids city limits.

FATAL CRASH SCENE — Death rode "Accident Alley" again Monday when two area men died and three others were injured in a car-truck crash on M-21. about 2K miles west of Lowell city limits. The dangerous stretch of highway has been the scene of ma-

ny accidents, a number of them fatal, in recent years, (stuff ohoto bv Scot Jatteries)

PERFECT RECORD - Superintendent Robert G. Masten congratulates Mrs. Mary Flynn. who last week retired after 10 years of accident-free driving with the Forest Hills Public School bus fleet.

Bus Driver Terminates Accident-Free Career

BY JERRY HANES

A decade of service to Forest Hills Public Schools has come to an end for Mrs. Mary Flynn.

Last week, much to her surprise. Mrs. Flynn was guest of honor at a party given by fellow bus drivers, members of the of-fice staff and Superintendent of Schools Robert G. Masten.

The occasion marked Mrs. Flynn's resignation, with re-grets, from the driver's corps.. .and the anniversary of 10 years of accident-free driving for the system.

She was presented with a gift certificate from Fenste-macher's Fabric Shop, a most appropriate gift since Mary's hob-by is sewing.

Things were far different when Mrs. Flynn started driving school buses for the district back in 1959. Her runs in those days called for 50 miles a day, compared to approximately 100 miles a day in recent years.

There were but 12 buses in the fleet a decade ago com-pared to 34 this year.

Mrs. Flynn recalls with fond memories the many hours spent in transporting children to and from classrooms.. .and,

perhaps not as pleasantly, the mornings when it was necessary to clear ice and snow from buses for early morning trips on icy roads.

Plan' March for Millage

A full-scale parade, carrying the theme of "March for Mill-age," will be held in Lowell this Saturday morning.

Under (he auspices of the Citizens for Better Education, the

parade is expected to include some 20 or more units, including repre-sentatives from every club and organization in the Lowell school system.

Marchers will assemble at Richards Park and will get under-way at 10 a.m. along a route to Main Street, then cast to Washing-ton.

A special performance by the Green Hornets Junior Drum and Bugle Corps from Comstock Park will be one of the highlights, in addition, the Lowell High School band and Scarlet Troubadours Junior Drum and Bugle Corps color guard will be in action.

Antiq'ie cars from Grand Rapids and new automobiles fur-nished by local dealers will participate in the event.

A number of youth groups and a special contingent from the Lowell YMCA will be among the expected turnout of 500 marchers.

Student groups from the school system will include members of the various athl^Hn •patrt'; snd extra-rurncuhr nr.tivif h»c classes.

interested residenh, that the full millage picture will not be known for some time.

"At this point, we are playing a guessing game," declared Jones. "We do not have all the facts on state equalized increases, on state aid, on teachers salaries and on bus transportation.

"Until these facts are known, we can only go on record to guarantee our voters that we will spend only that money necessary to retire the present deficit and to provide an adequate educational program for our children."

Jones then expressed the opinion that the board should re-affirm, officially, a similar stand taken during the December meet-ing and repeated in the January session.

Dr. Reagan concurred, noting that the board should depart

from usual voting procedures in this instance. The roll call vote fol-lowed.

"We want the record to speak for itself that every member of this board, including Dr. Gerard, who is not present, had the oppor-tunity to stand and be counted," said Dr. Reagan.

Several items of business calling for cash outlays were tabled pending the outcome of Monday's election.

These included a request from Pace that repairs and pre-ventive maintenance be considered for the junior high, intermed-

iate buildings and football stands.

Plans for purchase of two new buses also were tabled, though the board authorized Pace to advertise for bids for purchase of the vehicles, expected to cost about $17,500.

Pace told the board that changes in bus routes for this school year has resulted in approximately 20,000 fewer miles than at a cor-responding period of the 1967-68 school term.

In other action, the board:

Re-affirmed its bus transportation policy in turning down a request that afternoon kindergarten students attending Bushnell School would not be transported to classes;

Granted tenure to 13 teachers as required by the Teacher Tenure Act; namely, Mrs. Dolores Gabrion, Charles Johnson, Miss Virginia Kauffman, Ronald Moore, Harry Peacock, Mrs. Patricia Pierce, Mrs. Phyllis Reybum, Darwin Sampson, George Stegmier, Mrs. Esther Teerling, Mrs Elizabeth VanderSee. Gilbert Woolworth, and Mrs. Marge Benedict;

Tabled and turned over to Metternick bids on a built-up roof for the intermediate school gymnasium;

Tabled a request from the Kent Intermediate Board that three properties be transferred to the Forest Hills School District and a fourth be transferred to the Lakewood School District pending re-sults of a block transfer hfcarlng held recently iiy Lansing; and

• Accepted the resignation of Miss Kay W6od, third grade teach-er at Bushnell School.

Police Nab Two at High Speeds

A pair of high-speed chases, both involving 22-year-old drivers, were terminated by cohesive police action during the past week.

Kent County Sheri f f ' s deputies were called to handle an acc-ident early Thursday morning when a Clarksville man ran off the road at a high rate of speed on M-91 while attempting to out-distance Lowell police.

In turn, Lowell police succeeded Sunday morning in block-ading a Lowell-area motorist who was seeking to elude sheriff 's deputies on 36th Street.

Gary R. Warner, 22 of Clarksville and a companion, 22-year-old James Mullinix of New York, were injured slightly when Warner's car left the road south of Lowell, hit a utility pole and rolled over several times in an open field.

Police report that Warner was observed in Lowell travel-ing at a high rate of speed. When local officers sought to arrest him. he sped away at speeds estimated at 100 m.p.h.

The two men were taken to St. Mary's Hospital for treat-ment.

Lowell police issued a ticket for reckless driving.

Roger A. Keech, 22, of 3250 Kissing Rock Road, was arrested after he was stopped by a blockade established by Low-ell police at M-91 and 36th Street following a call for assistance by the Sheriff 's Department. He was tidceted for reckless dri-ving.

Delmer Kidder, 33, of Twin Lakes was fined a total of

$103 and sentenced to three days in the county jail after appear-

ing before District Judge Joseph B. White on a charge of driving with license revoked. He was arrested in Lowell March 3.

New Construction in Ada Tops '68

BY SHIRLEY DYGERT

Building permits for 1969 are running well ahead of figures for the first two months of last year in Ada Township.

Building Inspector Herman Stukkie reported to the township board at its bi-monthly meeting Monday that total valuation for per-mits issued to date is $3787500, compared to $100,000 at the same time in 1968.

Included is a permit calling for construction of the new Ada Community Reformed Church on Thornapple River Drive, valued at $155,000. (See story on Page 6.)

Additional permits were issued during the month of February for seven new residential dwellings and three additions and remodel-ings.

Stukkie also outlined procedures required by the Kent County Health Department that a special sewer and septic tank permit must

be obtained from the county before construction can begin on any property not located adjacent to regular sewer lines.

The board also received notice that the report on a special sur-vey to determine feasibility of creating a municipal water system for the township will be in its hands within 30 days.

Fire Chief Stan Osmolinski reported that his department has answered five calls for grass fires. He pointed out that dry weather has created a dangerous situation.

signed 4 Tax-

Lately, 1 have become quite infuriated with the manner in which the citizens of Lowell have regarded this election It seems that the main point that everybody argues about is the money angle. Granted, taxes are high and making ends meet is rough, but the people are disregarding the biggest factor of all; the education of their children.

I, as a high school senior, can appreciate the complete education that I have received through the Lowell school sys-tem.

I have received an excellent education which only an effi-cient and well-run school could provide. I have benefited from a competitive spirit through athletics which again only an efficient and well-run school could provide. I have develop-ed my physical self through physical education. I have had a wide selection of subjects to increase my learning capacity, and above all, I nave been able to realize my dream of being a school teacher some day. All this, which means so much to any man. has come through a school system from which I am graduating.

But can the youth who will be graduating from Lowell in future years say Uie same? Can we turn the wheels of ed-ucation back and expect the world to keep going around? Truthfully. I doubt it. Can we as men and women deny to our fellow men and women the best education that is so ter-ribly needed in this society? I sincerely hope this course will not be taken.

So to those who wish to see an increase in dropouts, a de-

Enumerated in the ad is a list of things they stand against. Number 5 of this list states, and I quote "Just one more little thought, certain ministers must have plenty to do in their own church with-out interfering in the affairs of the school or the taxpay-e r s . "

I get the impression that these folk would like for min-isters to live in some kind of cloistered manner away off in an ivory tower somewhere completely out of touch with them or reality. Nothing would be more foreign to the teach-ing of the New Testament Scriptures concerning the du-ties and responsibilitier of a pastor

I am a "concerned parent'* of four children. As a private citizen, according to the law, I have as much right to "in-terfere in the affairs of the school" as anyone else. I per-sonally fail to see how I have interfered in the affairs of the school. It would appear that because I signed a statement to the effect that I would be voting "yes" in the forthcom-ing election. I automatically become another axe they must grind.

The state law also looks up-on me as a taxpayer, and such I am even though I may not own any property at pres-ent. Some ministers, however, do own their own homes, and have to pay taxes on this property just like everybody else.

Oh, yea, point 3 of the afore-mentioned ad states " . . . your taxes are caused by sloppy or lackadaisical operation." Assuming that the publisher

To The Editor;-

I think the people of the Lowell Area School District should think twice before de-ciding to dump our present school board as suggested by the Concerned Parents and Taxpayers.

These men are highly-re-spected citizens of our area who have volunteered t h e i r time and energy to help run our school. Asking for their resignation or making ft so difficult for them that they re-sign of their own accord will not solve our school problem. Being a school board member is not an easy Job due to lack of interest of school district members when all is smoothly and public and vate criticism from school dis-trict members when trouble and problems emerge. It also takes time to become thorough-ly acquainted with school laws and school business, so that our present method of having experienced members on the board at all times is a distinct advantage.

more elections and 111 feelings throughout our community.

Very truly yours William S. Doyle

To The Editor:

don't you want the youneer people of Lowell to get the proper education that a person needs to become something in the world? Why

I am a Senior Hi, to say th Ix)well,

Why

do you esslty?

As I read the letters to the editor in the February 27Ui is-sue of the Lowell Ledger. I saw only figures, nothing about what will happen to the future citizens of America. I don't think I've read or heard any-thing about what will happen to us, and all of this will de-termine our futures.

Many of you. I believe, do not want to face the truth about what will become of Lowell if this millage doesn t

Piss. But for those who do II give you my opinion. Low-

ell is already falling apart, you've got to admit I t But can you imagine what win happen when the school lets out with a couple thousand of students on the streets every-day? With nothing to do? Of course there'll be the addition-al homework and all, but who will want to do ft? Surely If the people supposedly showing

the right way to act when are adults, dont care if

alive when they get the leader-ship of the country? Well, some of you may. Do you want to be led by a bunch of dopes?

Many of you say you have no children in school. But you may have grandchildren, niec-es. nephews, etc., whom think highly of, in school. them a good educat likely people just like you. Who payed for your education? Who gave you the chance to be what you are today?

What really got me was that page In the Buyer's Guide on why you should vote "No." It is signed, "the concerned par-ents and taxpayers." Concern-

M! Ha! Concerned about who? Surely not the students. Con-cerned about themselves.

iss. I will believe it. I'll that you just don't care

what happens to us.

No one but yourselves can tell you how to vote, but for God's sake vote "yes" on March 17. The students and future students of Lowell need the break.

us we ive get a why

education, then we?

If new board members a re desired they should be put in when a term has expired or a vacancy occurs and at a regular election. To have an entirely new board at this time of financial distress would, to my way of thinking, only make matters worse.

As to our board not opera-ting our school like other school districts around us, one only has to listen to the news to realize that other nearby school districts are also hav-ing financial difficulties. MiU< age votes have been and a re taking place now and in the future. Most of the school dis-tricts are up against the op-erating cost problem due to increased expenditures.

" * ! d6 'not see how LoWeB can operate cheaper than other similar school districts and maintain a good educational standard in this time of in-flation with costs to all of us continually on the increase.

No one likes to pay addition-al taxes, for they are already too high, but a good educa-tional standard is really a must in this day of a tc :hnical and fast-paced world. To go backward to a half day school program or otherwise severely restricted program will not im-prove the outlook for the fu-ture of our district youth.

Therefore, when the seven mill vote comes up March 17, I hope the Lowell Area School District members will remem-ber that this vote Is for a one year period only, and that any further increase will have to be voted upon again.

A YES vote will get us out of our present financial deficit and still provide an adequate educational program for our youth.

And I'm sure the school board realizes that school dis-trict members will he watch-ing over the board's shoulder to see how the money is spent, for one of the j»ood things to come out of this issue is the revitalized interest of school district members in the opera-tion of their school.

Mrs. Edwin Roth RR No. 3

To The Editor:

In the- midst of assembling more figures to answer Mr. Reagan's and Mr. Coon's let-ters which appeared in your Feb. 27 paper, I, along with all other property owners in Lowell, received a few figures from the City of Lowell; namely an increase of 174 percent in the assessment of real property. This reflected into millage Is more than a 3 mill increase in school tax-es

I suggest that both the Con-cerned Parents & Taxpayers and the Citizens for Better Ed-ucation save their money, close up shop, and cease advertiz-ing. I feel certain that many of the Yes voters really don't want their taxes raised the equivalent of 10 mills and the School Board now have the additional funds that they requested in the first millage vote.

The raise in valuations, plus the increasing tax base in the school district, and increased state aid should take care of our school needs for the fore-seeable future without any

It doesn't seem right that we students have such a little say on our future. Oh yeah, we can plead with people to vote "yes," but who listens to us the generation supposedly only concerned with draft card burning, free love, drugs, dem-onstrations and complete free-dom?

All we want is the chance to become something when we are older. Is money more im-portant than success and hap-

So many of you people a r e misled by other people so con-cerned about spending a little more money, that they d o n t know what they are talking about. They ha ven t really thought about us, Just them-selves.

The Lowell Pistons' victory Monday night over the WZZM Whizzers proved that the in-ternal combustion staff will never be replaced by radio.

The Lowell teachers (male) won over the disc Jokeys, 78-51.

It was a financial success, too. After the door receipts were counted, the Ski Club amj the Varsity Club was about 1300 richer.

There were moments of great happiness for the home crowd. Mr. Woolworth. master of the mysterious " g u m " shot, dis-played his specialty. It turned out that he merely stayed "stuck" under the basket and sunk a sensational backboard bouncer.

The play came on a beauti-ful long pass down floor from Al Howe, gym teacher, who was attired in the latest wrest-ling headgear and a football jersey.

On the serious side, the teachers showed many spark-ling plays. Larry Adams, prac-tice teacher from CMU. scored 19 points and 17 rebounds. Bu-ell Brinks. Army-bound phys ed teacher, made 19 points and 12 rebounds, and snowed a most sensitive touch for tip-ins.

Coaches Jack Kempker and Harry Peacock, along with band director Bill Mifls. dis-played some sparkling passes. They scored, too; 15. 8 and 7 points, respectively. Peacock look care of 13 rebounds.

The Whizzers had a fine time in the losing cause. Some-times. there were six men on the floor—some players shot a t the wrong basket—and passes were made to the wrong team. Even the referees took shots at the basket.

The Lowell Pep Band played during the half, and drew com-ments from the appreciative disc jokeys. who abandoned warmup to listen to the band.

•

After the game. Coach Ed Rankin was pleased with the outcome.

" I hope to meet the same t eam next year—we're already

discussing dates. I hope, how-ever, that a player strike does-n't develop. We've got too many stars, you know, and the pension set-up Is lousy."

BEHIND the COUNTER *UA CHARLES WESTON

Visiting the ill has been a par t of our tradition for so long, many of us don't realize that it can create problems in the hospital, nursing home or even the private home of ihe sick person.

Among these problema: the

Sychological shock to the pa-nt caused by thoae visitors

who recall how badly so-and-so did under similar circum-stances; who inquire if the doc-tor has ordered such-and-such a test (implying that he's a quack if he hasn t ) ; who "sym-pathize" with the terrible way the hospital is run; who imply that the illness is not all that serious; or who inquire into the most intimate details of the sickness.

Then there are the visitors who stay too long; those who visit when they have a cold, or have spent three hours in a tavern; those who sneak in out-side of the regular visitors hours ( thus disrupting meals, bathing or sleep): whoae bois-terous behavior disturbs other patienta in the room—or even on the floor- and those who spend roost of their time socializing with other visitors to the sickroom.

Here are a few sugaestions passed on to us by hospital personnel: Check first with the family, to see if the pat ient is able to receive visitors, and when would be a convenient time to visit If you want to take along a little rift, a rain the family can be nelpful in making suggestions; remember the patient may be on a diet, or prohibited from smoking, or may be upset by flowers. Be brief, be cheerful, be consider-ate. If vou don't know the de-tails of the illness, don ' t ask. Don't get involved in arru-ments, or bring bad news that will upset the pa t i en t Unless the patient is smoking, or of-fers you a cigarette, don't smoke.

BY SHIRLEY DYGERT

Sure'n begorra. It's coming up on that Green Hat day aeain and it's time to teil aboat the wee people once more.

A leprechaun Is known to have many crocks of buried treasure. It 's pretty hard to catch him. but if caught, he can be forced to reveal the secret of their locations.

The big thing to remember Is that he will vanish if one takes one's eyes off him. He tricks the one who has caught him into looking elsewhere and the minute human eyes are off him. p o o f . . . he's gone

"Your bees are swarmln and goln' off with themselves." he cries or, "The cam are In-to yer oats." And he who looks to save his property, never sees the leprechaun or dinds the treasure.

There was once a man who was not thus tricked, but got so far as to capture the lep-rechaun and compel him to lead the way to the very bush In the field where the gold was buried.

But the man had no spade to dig. so he took off one red carter and tied It to the bush in order to recognlae t h j spot again. He politely Wbertated l*»e leprechaun and ran back for a spade He was gone only three minutes but when he returned, there was a red gar-ter on every bush In the field

* * * There is a great wtVHlun-lt

murder mysterv coming up on March 28 and 29 It will be a presentation by the FHHS Dra-ma Club entitled. "Unexoected Guest" by Agatha Christie and under the direction of Mrs. Bennett ami John Catzerc.

Richard Warwick was mur-dered and his wife, Ann. was found with gun in hand. There is a whole slew of other sus-pects too with motives galore Someone Is guilty, but who?

Tickets can be purchased from cast members or bv ca'l-Inp the school office. 949-2410. Adults: $1.00. students $.75.

* * » And speaking of the theatre.

Ihe Twenty-Four Club enjoyed a real boff bit on Saturday when everyone trooped off to see "Funny GtrT together

FoMowing the show the mem-bers spilled into Doris and Aft Barnes' home for a huge des-sert-smorgasbord served by a generous commitee. Pies, cakes, and other yummies of many descriptions filled the crowd after which several var-ieties of liqueurs received the play.

Muriel Perschbacher appear-ed in an elegant theatre suit trimmed with fur. but her ^lory was almost outshone by Eric DeWall who captured his own audience by testing every dessert on the groaning table. Bettv was the jogger In the family, but early olrds may look for him from now on.

• • w Tables laden with food and

strenuous work-outs are re-minders that the Wrestling Banquet Is Thursday night.

It will honor Coach Chuck Mathews and his assistant. Coach Rosengren whose unbeat en record is one to be envied. Larry Cardinal came back from Lansing as a State Cham-pion and we have many re-gional and district champs as well.

Remember, those who are attending; bring your own ta-ble service, two dishes to pass, and sterling appetities.
