BE KIND TO ANIMALS CLUB: For several busy weeks this group of Angell School pupils led by 12-year-old Kent Marquis of 304 Juniper Lane has been raising a "kitty" for distribution to underprivileged dog owners for use at the rabies vaccination clinic in Ann Arbor Friday at the Armory. Calling themselves the "Washtenaw County Be Kind to Animals Club," the boys and girls have nearly $50 to dole out with the Ann Arbor Humane Society acting as administrators for applicants. They are shown collecting papers at the home of Prosecutor Douglas K. Reading, 1609 S University Ave. Left to right are Gordon Burke of 1502 Geddes Ave., Virginia Haisley of 1204 Melrose Ave., Wendy Dobson of 1704 Baldwin Ct., Patty Wilkins of 3014 Brockman Blvd., Bill Kelly of 1130 Lincoln Ave., Kent Marquis, Ray Henry of 1047 Martin Pl., Allison Myers of 904 S.

CAT RETRIEVER: This peculiar-looking apparatus is a unique piece of equipment variously called a cat rescue pole, or "cat retriever." A stray or marooned cat lodged in some tree needs only to cling to the sheepskin loop at the end of the pole to effect a safe rescue from the upper regions. Students at Angell School are actively participating in the Ann Arbor Humane Society's current drive to raise funds for equipment, such as the cat pole, to outfit the proposed new animal shelter. Students shown (left to right) are Gale L. Slater, 9, of 1232 Washtenaw Ave., Phillis A. Austin, 8, of 1317 Geddes Ave., Rollie Leeds, 6, of 1438 Washington Hgts., and Randy White, 6, of 2409 Vinewood Blvd.
