BILL WATSON PRESIDENT JOYCE WEINMAN VICE-PRESIDENT CONNIE BEEBE SECRETARY NEIL ROBERTS TREASURER Student Council Designs New Plan For Junior Hi Seventh and eighth graders were not allowed to attend the regular student mixers this year. Con- sequently. a different recreation plan was designed for their specific use. They planned and held parties in the gym. strictly by themselves. The pirn was adopted to avoid congestion that existed in the gyms, when all classes met together. When the various grade committees met they designed a program chiefly of their own desire. Games and parties were planned, if they wanted to dance, dancing was arranged. These parties were held about once a month. Sometimes oftener. some- times not so often, depending entirely on how full the calendar was. The lower grades were admitted to the activity ticket party which was on Friday. April 21. The party was. in reality. Just another mixer, so the two grade classes did actually have access to a mixer. Don Hoffman's orchestra, of Lan- sing. furnished the music. During intermission, movies were shown in the auditorium, after which free re- freshments were served. All students with activity tickets were admitted free, while others could purchase tickets for the party at the door. Those not wishing to dance played ping pong and other games. J. Ax tell. M.

Because the seventh grade has been included In the high school, we give them high honorable mention In our school year book. We all know that some day they will be graduating from Charlotte high as the seniors of this year. They have that goal yet to reach. Their class motto Is, “We Do Our Best , and they try to follow it ns well as possible. Miss Helen Collins, physical educa- tion teacher, and Ward Hynes, band leader, and history teacher, acted as advisers of the class during the year. Mrs. Leora Weymouth, seventh grade teacher, also helped to make the year successful. At the beginning of the school year the seventh grade gave »he honor of presidency to “Bill” Watson; vice-presidency to Joyce Weinman; their secretarial work to Connie Beebe; and the responsibility of trea- surer to Neil Roberts. Aldermen, selected by the class at the beginning of the year for student council, were Betty Lou Squibb and John Dimond. Home room numbers of the class are 250 and 152. One night after school, the seventh grade sponsored a penny dance In the oltl gym. It was open for r 11 high school students, who wished to at- tend. This was only one way in which they tried to raise money for the class. Another time they sold popcorn balls along with their noon candy sales in the school bul'.dlng hall. Blue and gold are the colors that this ambitious group chose to represent their c!ass. Pine Lake. Olivet, was the chosen place for their school picnic, which was held May 26, Since they are not admitted to student mixers they have their own parties They pay ten cents to get in and they play games and have refreshments. Connie Beebe received the most votes for queen from this class of the Journalism Carnival and thus served as one of the senior queen's. Loretta Terwllllger's. attendants. Much talent has been shown by the class, for future assemblies in the coming school years. . . . ixiyr H . . .

The CHARHIAN EIGHTH GRADE forward, march! Sine»» the eighth graders of today will undergo the honors” of being freshmen next year, and later be sophist lea led seniors that roam the halls, they deserve the consideration of an excellent up-and-coming class. At the beginning of the year the class held a meeting and elected the following officers: President. Duane Nicol; vice president. Geraldine Nic- cum: secretary. Sheridan Walter- worth; and treasurer. Homer Parish. Advisers for the group are home room teachers: Miss Margaret Johnson, teaching English. Latin, and French her first ear at Charlotte: and Miss Hilda Angerer, a junior high teacher. The class solved the money problem for their class pictures und annual picnic by selling dishcloths and selling candy noon hours for two eight-week periods. A bake sale. Sat- urday. May 3. was also very success- ful. As a result of their successful selling campaign, no dues were neces- sary The queen that served for the eighth grade, Marjorie Papol. was an 8b the second semester and therefore classed with the seventh grade, but was allowed to serve in Queen Lor- etta Terwilllger's court as eighth grade representative. Members of the student council, from the two seventh grade home rooms, were David Shaull and Paul Hall David Shaull represented home room 151. and Paid Hall was from room 305. Several parties were held in con- junction with the seventh grade, and. states Miss Angerer, they were very successful in acquainting the mem- ber» of the two classes. In their contributions for the needy at Thanksgiving, they were given honorable mention for their neatness and the outstanding arrangement of their offering that was placed on stage. During the first five marking periods they have had sever»! pupils who were on the honor roll four times. This means that they receiv- ed nothing lower than H's in any of their subjects of which they are tak- ing five or six. The honor students were, from Miss Angerer’» room. David Shaull and Jerry Sherman. Hetty Scovlll and I Voids Newth from Miss Johnson's room Last year they chose Onward and Upward” as their class motto. They have faithfully stuck to it through the year. DUANE NICOL PRESIDENT CERRV NICCUM VICE-PRESIDENT CLASS CAPERS Junior hi party..........Dec. 9. Junior hi valentine party....Feb. 10.

PRESIDENT S MESSAGE When we first entered Into the eighth grade we were amazed at the new rooms and subjects we were tak- ing. We were all hoping to pass through the eighth grade so we could take part in the senior high sports. Some of us are members of the junior and senior bunds. Among the outside activities are: Girl Scouts. Camp Fire Girls, and Hoy Scouts, all cf which some of us are members. Several of our boys went out for the junior high basketball team. This will give them experience for later years. I am happy to say that the other officers and students have co-operated with me In every way. We look forward to being freshmen next year and to taking Latin. Algebra, and French. We sponsored a few parties, and we hope to have many more. We wish to thank our advisers. Mrs. Weymouth. Miss Angerer, and Miss Johnson, for a successful year. DUANE NICOL. President. Class of '43.

A heartbreak- ing 8-7 defeat was administered by the Islanders to nose out Charlotte for the conference championship. In the beetle Armistice Day game. Charlotte out-guarded, out-passed and out-nlayed the Eaton Rapids team an I ass leading 76 as the game neared the close. A short, flat pass, by Tou- tant was Intercepted by Kowalk on th - forty yard line and returned to Charlotte's twenty. The Islanders slashed off a first down on the 9 yard line Charlotte's powerful line held and took over the lrnll on downs, on the one foot line. Tullls. standing 10 yards back In the end zone, prepared to kick, but the pass from center was slightly high and he was caught In his own end zone, which automatic- ally gave Eaton Rapids the two points which meant victory. In the first game of the season. Lakevlew high school was victorious over Charlotte 60. The lone score came on a pass. The Orioles out play- ed Lakevlew but were halted on sev- eral goal-line marches by frequent penalties. In the second game the Orlo.es played better ball and were victorious by a 21-0 score, over n weaker Bidd- ing eleven. The first score came in the opening period on a pass from Toutant to Ladd, who ran 28 yards for the initial marker; the second, on a pass to Snyder; and the third, a 5 yard plunge, by Toutant. All extra points were made by Toutant on off tackle slants. The next game resulted In a 0-0 deadlock with Hastings high.

In four plays, they were back on the five with no touchdown. In the first conference game of the season, the Orioles ran all over the Mason Maroons by a 19-0 score. The second team played half of the game. Julius Fisher, a substitute halfback. Toutant. and l add were the touch- down getters of the day. Th. Grand Ledge game was to be played at a later date because of u solge of smullpox. but finally was forfeited to the Orioles. Linksmen Prepare For Promising Season With four seniors back this year, the Charlotte Oriole golfers looked forward to an unusually successful season. Bob Ladd. Bob Spice.

Orville Tiegeler is also ex- pected to see action as six boys. In- stead of four, may be used In each match. Because the Maroons' golfers disbanded, the two matches scheduled with Mason were called off. and will 1m replaced by two games with the Olivet College freshmen. Each boy. able to participate in an oncoming match, must first qualify for each match. The four (or six) with the lowest scores will be gen- erally used. The schedule for the year is: May 4—St. Johns, there. May 11—Howell, here. May 18- St. Johns, here. May 25—Howell, there.

Stars All athletes have one or two mo- ments that stand out to them as their most thrilling experience in competi- tive sports. Here are some of the Charlotte high school athletes' thrills of once in a lifetime . BOB LADD: My most thrilling moments were landing in some girl’s lap during the Eaton Rupids basketball game, and defeating Lakevlew in basketball for the district championship. My most disappointing one was losing the Ea- ton Rapids football game by a safety 8-7. MURRAY CHANDLER: My grentest thrills came when we defeated Lakevlew In the district tournament and defeating Mason in basketball in an overtime. My most embarrassing moment came when 1 ripped my track shorts at the regional track meet and had to run with them pinned up with a safety pin. ELDRED TOUTANT: It came when I scored the win- ning touchdown in the last few seconds of play against St. Johns In '37. I was disappointed most when Eaton Rapids scored a safety to de- feat us in football 8-7. MAX TULLIS: Scoring 10 (mints to help defeat Lakevlew for the district champion- ship in basketball thrilled me most. 1 was embarrassed most when I fell over a hurdle in the Regional meet at Flint. I was in second place at the time.” BOB BAKER: “Scoring the winning basket against East Lanslug as a junior was my biggest thrill in sports. Getting three hits out of three against Joe De- Rose. Mason star pitcher, next. COACH GOBEL: Winning the St. Johns football game In 37 by coming from behind 7-0 in the last minute of play. We won 14-7 I was disappointed most when we lost to East Lansing In basket- ball at Albion and when we were defeated by Eaton Rapids in foot- ball 8-7. BUD LOUCKS: Mine was pitching a 2 hit game to defeat Grand Ledge 3-0 last year as a Junior. I was disappointed most when 1 struck out with the Imses full against Eaton Rapids.
