CITY PUNS PARTY FOR BAND, TEAM Community to Hold Banquet At Temple; Haymes To Speak TO INVADE EATON RAPIDS IN TILT FOR SECOND PLACE ORIOLES TO INVADE EATON RAPIDS FOR ANNUAL GRID GAME Ten Seniors To See Service In Traditional Battle Armistice Day Ten seniors will be playing their last game for the Orioles when Char- lotte takes the field Monday against their traditional rivals. Eaton Rapids, in their annual Armistice Day foot- ball game. As they take the field for the final game of the season for both teams, the records show a marked similarity. Both teams have beaten the same con- ference opponents, and lost to the same team by almost identical scores. Charlotte’s record, however, is the slightly more impressive. The Island- ers defeated Mason 37-6. Charlotte down them 34-6; Eaton Rapids beat the Grand Ledge eleven 12-0. the Orioles trimmed, them 20-0; Eaton Rapids overpowered Howell 19-0, Charlotte took them into camp. 25-0; the Boys’ Vocational lost to the Is- landers 12-6. while Charlotte swamped them 34-7. Each team played one representa- tive of the Valley conference. Char- lotte beating Cold water 7-0, and Ea- ton Rapids losing to Albion 45-13. East Lansing soundly beat each team. Charlotte being beaten to the tune of 41-0, and the Islanders losing 45-0. In the conference competition Char- lotte has scored 79 points against her opponents 47. while Eaton Rapids has scored 68 points while her opponents were scoring 51. This tends to show that Charlotte has slightly the better team but when these traditional rivals meet, all pre-game dope usually either proves wrong or some team comes through with an upset. Charlotte has beaten Eaton Rapids only once in the past five years. The seniors who will be playing their last game for the Orange and Black are: Dick Kelley, Kenneth Jones. George Mayhew, Bill Bobier, Richard Schroeder. Don Smith, Bob Munger. and Milton Briggs. Clarence Harshman and Howard Gillette, util- , ity line-men. will also graduate next June.

Pw ORANGE BLACK BIBLE STUDY CUSS OBTAINS SPEAKERS Reverends Cruthers and Nagel Talk to Mrs. Kiplinger’s Group The Bible study class, under the di- rection of Mrs. Marena Kiplinger, has been fortunate in obtaining speakers this year. Thursday, October 3. Rev. Nagel of the United Brethren Church of this city addressed the class. His subject was “Abraham. Father of the Faith- ful. He named seven points of Abra- ham’s life and elaborated on them. The seven points were: obedience, un- selfishness. courage, benevolence, in- corruptabllity. mighty in prayer, and wonderful in faith. In his speech Rev. Nagel brought out the fact that our real polish, culture, and refinement comes from God. Rev. W. L. Cruthers of the First Baptist Church of Michigan Center, spoke to the class on Mondav, October 7. His speech was based on the ques- tion. “What does Christianity offer young people? Some of the things he says that Christianity offers young people are: compelling interest, ex- hibition of a life that is worth while, opportunity to spend our lives in ser- vice. and building character. Rev. Cruthers stated that if we must fight, to fight men in our own country in- stead of having war with another country. Rev. Fields of Charlotte’s Baptist church introduced the speaker and after Rev. Cruthers’ speech an invita- tion was extended to the students to attend a service which was to be held at the Congregational church here. The meeting was for the ministers of the Baptist churches throughout the state to become acquainted with what the ministers of other cities are doing in their churches. The Bible study class is looking for- ward to several speakers in the near future. One of the speakers they are hoping to obtain is Father Gabriel of the Catholic church of Lansing. They are also in hopes of obtaining Rev. Glenn Frye, who is now taking a trip in Europe. Wanted A pillow and no disturbances— “Jimmie” Shaffer. A few odd dollars—Boys. A touchdown— The Bombers”.

A short meeting was held Thursday. September 26. after school to elect officers. The following were chosen: Cecila Schroeder, president; Ruth Martin, vice president; Lucille Mar- vin. secretary, and Vera Snoke. treas- urer.

Bob Munger; vice pres- ident, Harlo Dewey; and Don Smith, secretary and treasurer, has mapped out plans for the coming year. The candy sales have been the main source of income, although it has been con- sidered that they resume the sale of popcorn, apples and peanuts at all oi the home basketball games as they did last year. Suggestions have been made that the club purchase hats for its members as some of the surround- ings schools are doing for the identity of all those who have w'on a major letter. A training table meal was held Fri- day noon before the East Lansing game and plans were made for a marshmallow roast. The football boys and members of the C club wish to thank Mr. Beechler for fur- nishing the team a free entertainment at the Eaton theatre the night of the Grand Ledge game.

With the arrival of this, the best season of the year, we begin to slow our restless pace a little, and realize that Joy and thankfulness to God for the grand privilege of living are para- mount in the scheme of things.” We seem just a little bit more thought- ful. more appreciative, and observant of kindness in others. With all this rebirth in thought and spirit, it hard- ly seems consistent that over-seas great statesmen are shaking their j heads dubiously over the peace of a continent, and perhaps (who knows?) 1 the entire world. It doesn’t seem right that a defenseless group of men must relinquish THEIR PRIVILEGE OF LIVING to the greed, to the ma- terialism. of a pugnacious race of people. Yet. as long as the drums keep play- ing. as long as the glory of a nation is at stake. To arms! To arms!” must be their watchword. What does it matter if the season of Thanks- giving is at hand? What does it matter how many wives are husband- less, children fatherless? And if your conscience, your reason, cannot be heard above the tramp-tramp of the soldiers on their way to glory , so much the better. You are being patriotic.—L. M. American Education Week Primary, rural, junior and senior high schools all over the United States of America will observe Amer- ican Education Week. November 11 to the 17. The purpose of the week is to enable citizens to because better acquainted with the schools. The general theme around which the observance is built is The School and Democracy. American Educa- tion Week is officially sponsored by the National Education Association, the American Legion, and the United States office of Education. Last year six million adults in four thousand communities took part in the Ameri- can Education Week activities. This year the goal is ten million adult citizens for the schools, and to make them better acquainted with the ideals, aims, and problems of educa- tion. There are a million teachers and thirty million students to lead and to arouse the interest of fathers, moth- ers. and all other citizens. The theme emphasizes the funda- mental principles upon which the na- tion is founded. By taking part in Education Week the student learns first hand one of the most important lessons in citizenship. He studies the purposes and needs of his school; he learns that the school is necessary to the success of our republic. As the National Education Associa- tion expresses it. “The free school is the expression of a mighty faith. Be- cause we believe in ourselves, in de- mocracy. and in the future we seek through the schools to improve the quality of our lives.”—M. C. AN INSTRUCTOR A tall, square shouldered, well built fellow he is. His face, neither oval or round is well proportioned as are his deep set blue eyes. Dark brown hair, rather wavey. is parted on the left. Even white teeth add at- tractiveness to his countenance. He has a rugged and engaging personality, and is a pleasing gentleman in the office as well as on the field. He sets an ex- ample of good sportsmanship and clean living as he well may do in a position of such influ- ence on youth. Last issue: Winifred Wells. N Honor Roll What are the advantages of being cn the honor roll? Is it just the mat- ter of obtaining sufficient points? No indeed! The honor roll is more than a list of names: it is the record of ability, achievement, con- scientiousness. and diligent study. To be on this list every time is a real task. If one fails he should not fall further back, but should strive to better his standing. To do this is more important than obtaining recog- nition on the list; improvement is the real reward. At the end of the year, all students who have been on the honor roll every time, or have been neither ab- sent nor tardy, or represent a school organization are eligible to attend the banquet sponsored by the student council. Thus the student has a goal in store and should try to eventually attain it in one way or another.— W. B. C. H. S. Library The Country Gentleman”. Bill Bo- bier. Red Pepper Burns , Charles Widrig.

I'm top hat with r lheads on parade and curly top. Animal crackers are in my soup when I’m reckless and have dinner every night at eight. Pretty lady. I’m in the mood for love, but I’ve got a feelin’ you’re fool- ing’ just because you are my lucky star. When we’re in a little gypsy tea room and the tiger rag does the rhumba Is it any wonder everything is okey dokey? Speaking confidently I’m in love with you and isn’t love the grandest thing? Isn’t it grand every now and then dancing cheek to cheek? I’d just love to take or- ders from you back in your own back yard. It never dawned on me that love makes the world go round. You’re a latln from Manhattan and we’ve got love and a dime, so P. S. I love you. The I onely Gondolier. QUOT-IS.MS Alice Jo Oldt—A winning way. a charming smile.

Marena Kiplinger— And I’d feej the hungry and clothe the poor, and all should bless me who left our door.” That Eventful Night When I started out for my destina- tion that evening, little did I realize my destined future. It was a beauti- ful autumn night; the leaves were falling softly around me and warm gentle breezes fanned my face, making me feel so happy to be living and breathing the delicious air. Suddenly, as from nowhere, two figures sprang upon me covering my mouth so I would not yell. They quickly blindfolded me but I could kick, and kick I did. Their fierce language frightened me. Luring me in a high powered car, I was sped over country-wide. Faster and faster we went - - noise - - confusion - - it was all around. Surely there were others In the car besides myself. Was this a joke? Was I really kid- napped? Would I never see my home, family, and friends again? All these thoughts tossed hotly in my brain. I had u spliting headache. Five minutes before I was so happy to be alive and living in this crimeless” world. I was mad at no-one. But now!! After riding for a little, eter- nity. as it seemed to me. the car gradually came to a standstill. I was jerked from the car. Oh hor- rors!! I was being taken Into a house, a shack or possibly a barn. The kidnappers' hide-out of course! It was cold. My teeth chattered. My heart thumped. Cold perspiration stood out like pearls on my forehead. Oh!! I was made to duck. A board hit me. My shoes were pulled off and I was forced to walk on—ouch! ouch! What was it? It felt like beans and rice. I fell Into space, landed on something soft. A wet dripping something flew in my face. Weird spooky sounds pierced my ears. I screamed. Hey, what Is this! Then a burst of suppressed giggles and laughs. The bandage flew off my eyes and lo. there stood —well, it was only the Girl Reserve initiation!

But. unfor- tunately. no one will admit that he participates in this greatest of indoor sports. The only way I’ll be able to find out how our great and near great dunk will be to do some keyhole peek- ing at breakfast time—well. I’ll report my findings in the next issue—maybe! Coach Malcolm Gobel, when asked for a statement about the Eat.m Rap- ids game, said I'll do my talk- ing after the game.” Assistant Coach Kenneth Brown stated. Judging by its play against Albion, this Eaton Rapids team is going to be plenty tough.
