The Claw

 Claw members (left to right) Mollie (Claw Number Two), Karen (Claw Number One), Teresa (Claw Number Four), Sue (Claw Number Six) Photo submitted by Sue Blomgren What is the Claw? No one will say. The Claw has its origins among Ishpeming High School students, including Donna Michels (Claw Number Seven) and Sue Bussiere Blomgren  (Claw Number Six) , in the mid 1950s. I asked Sue and Donna what the Claw is. It's a secret. As the photo above will attest, the secret has been kept among Claw members for several decades. Is the Claw a benevolent organization, or are its members given to nefarious schemes. Mum's the word.  In addition to those pictured above, Claw members included Beth (Claw Number Three), Gerry (Claw Number Five), Margie (Claw Number Eight), Maddy (Claw Number Nine), Brigie (Claw Number Ten), Chetty (Claw Number Eleven), Jerry (Claw Number Twelve), Barbi (Claw Number ?)
