Senior Basketballers
The senior boys' basketball
team will seek the WOSSA Senior,'
"B" crown on Saturday of this
week against teams from Exeter,
St. Thomas Vocational, and Gen-
eral Amherst of Amherstburg.
The members of the team along
with some information that will
bring our readers some knowledge
of the Clinton quintet is as follows
Jim Howes, 5'8", 1401bs. forward
is a Grade XI student. He has
played basketball for 3 years and
was a member of the Junior teams
that took the HSSA championship
in 1952 and 1953. Jim's specialty
is a corner shot.
Alan Mitchell, better known as
"Mitch" is from RCAF Station,
Clinton. He uses his 6', 160 lbs.
to great advantage on the floor.
Mitch has played one year junior
and has had one senior year, win-
ning the HSSA title on each oc-
casion. He is very versatile and
a good floor man. He is an ex-
cellent rebounder shooting well

John Wilson, is playing forward
in his last year of high school
competition after four years as a
guard. Johnny is a great team
man and his floor generalship and
fiery competitive spirit have made
him one of the stars of the team.
He• was captain of the juniors in
1950 when they won the WOSSA
title.
Mac Taylor comes to CDCI
from Blyth. His 5' 9", 148 lbs. is
right at home in the forward pos-
ition that he plays, and although
he lacks a little experience his
fight €nd determination make him
a definite asset to the team.
George Coleman, Zurich's con-
tribution to the team, is 5' 8" tail
and weighs 135 lbs. He plays for-
ward and is a very good team
man, playing very hard at all
times. He is a rugged player and
one of the best set-up men on the
club. George has played for the
past two years as a member of the
seniors.
Ronald Steepe, is one of the
team's best checkers. He is used
as utility man as he handles any
position well. Ron is one of the
big men on the team, and he uses
his 6' to the best advantage. Last
year he was a member of the
juniors.
Ken Gibbings is playing his first
year senior after two years in tl:e
junior ranks. "Red" possess one
of the finest shots on the club and
that combined with his fighting
spirit and aggressiveness make him
a constant threat. He is a good
playmaker and can turn in a good
game defensively from his centre
position.
Bob Fines, 6' 1" centre has had
four years basketball experience,
2 years on the junior team and 2
with the seniors. Bob's specialty is
the jump -shot.
Harris Oakes, 6' 5" is several
inches more than any other play-
er on the team. He has played
senior for three years and in his
first two years alternated between
forward and centre. This season
as a guard he has developed into
one of the most valuable members
of the team. Harris is a fine ex-
ample to his teamates as he has
worked very hard to become an
accomplished performer. He is a
good ball handler and his fine de-
fensive. play has been one of the
big reasons that the seniors are
still in the title hunt. -
Gerald Tebbutt is playing his
first year in senior company after
two years with the juniors. What
Gerald lacks in height (he is 5'8")I
he makes up in speed, and aggress-
iveness. Possessing one of the
oddest nicknames "Grr" combines
good ball handling with excellent
defensive play and fine team play
to be one of the teams' stars.
Ted Dunn, 6' 2" guard. has dev-
eloped into one of the stalwarts
of the team. He has beenplaying
senior ball for three years arid
after labouring in the shadows in
the past has come in for his share
of the glory this season. He is a
good rebounder, works very hard
defensively and is determined to
become a better player,

ther combination of the senior
quintet. Unlike his brother Ken
he plays guard and is a fine de-
fensive player and a good foul
shot man. Ken gets a surprising
number of rebounds from bigger
men due to practice and good
judgement.

shed, would cost $300 plus $200
for pressure water system. In-
stallation of hydro was estimated
at $325.
Repairs to Partition
Some years ago the classroom
had been much larger. 4In. 1903,
according to Henry Glew, who
attended at that time, there was
one teacher and. 85 pupils. As
the enrolment of the school went
down, a partition was built some
ten feet from the rear of the
classroom, which besides making
the classroomeasier to heat, also
provided some playroom space
for the pupils outside of the
classroom proper. (There is no
basement in the school). It was
suggested that this partition be
made a double one, and cost of
this would be probably $150.
Siding applied to the school
was estimated at $450. Repairs
to the chimney, $75. Decorating
of the classroom, $200; and re-
pair of the floors, $200. The total
of a little over $3300 could have
been reduced by a government
grant on capital expenditure, to
a little over $2300. This cost
could have been spread over sev-
eral years by the ratepayers.
Operating Cost
The cost of operating the school
would have been between $3500
and $4000, according to Inspector
of Ptrhlic Schools. G. G. Gardin-
er, Goderich. Discussing th e
comparative value of education
received by the childrenin grade
schools and in one -room country
schools, Mr, Gardiner said it de-
pended on the teacher the school
board managed to hire. He stat-
ed that in a graded school, where
there were several teachers, and
no pupil remained with one
teacher for more than one year,
the risk of obtaining a good
teacher was better than in the
country school.
The inspector expressed the
belief that chances of getting a
tnancer would be good in Sept-
ember, and that salary expected
would be $2500 approximately.
Must Own Town Property
Secretary of the school board,
J. W. VanEgmond, presented the
dancer of losing some of the
pupils in the section tel the town
school, even if the old school
were re -opened. Keith Tyndall
said that as far es he knew any-
one who lived hi the section
could not take their taxes t6 the
town unless they had property
within the municipality of 4500
or more.
Mr. Gardiner reported that the
newest ruling on this' was that
ratepayers must own property in
the town equal in value to the
everege assessment in the town

STILL ANOTHER SIGN OF
Spring . , or something , . is
the recent activity in the Town
Clerk's Office . . Grant Rath
has just finished painting the
walls there, and in the Board
Room . . . two shades of rather
startling green . , Granted that
the walls do look prettier than
they did . , . we rather hope that
the dark green applied to the
lower walls will mellow a trifle
with age . . . The same colours
have been applied to the walls of
the Ladies' Public Rest Room, and
we certainly noticed the change
. . . Plans are going forward to
re-cover the floor . . and 've
would hope that some paint can
be found to frost the lower part
of the windows . .
A L S 0, WE UNDERSTAND
that the uniforms have arrived
which will once again make Clin-
ton's Police Department notic-
eable . . . Since ex -Chief J. Fer-
rand turned in his badge and left
for civilian life . the men in
blue have been rather inconspic-
uous . ... Now that the Depart-
ment has grown to the grand total
of four (with the swearing-in of
Percy Livermore as a special con-
stable) . . certainly Clinton can
expect to have very little crime
go undetected .
