Pege 2 ORANGE BLACK ORANGE BLACK Published Bi-weekly by the Journalism Class of Charlotte High School Quill and Scroll International First Place Award, '35, 56. '37 Circulation 676 Subscription Rates, $.76 Executive Board Staff Publisher ....................... Carl Rochester Managing Editor ................. Rosemary Fielder Editor-In-Chief ................... Ardith Tappen Business Manager .................. Robert Bak .-r Advertising Manager ................. Carl Paine Faculty Adviser .............. Harlan R. McCall Reporters .............. Rest of Journalism Class Fielder Laterals Catsup; Toms Intercepts for Team Highlights of the Girl Reserve picnic last week were many and varied. The wiener roast took in part of a football game. Indian wrestling matches between some of the huskies, and ended with much harmony and raw notes. To translate the above statement. Rosemary Fielder, sweet and demure as the seniors go. took possession of the catsup bottle on the two yard line and made rapid advances down the road by a series of laterals to King. Mort” Quirk and Mur- ray. Just as the team was in scoring position Miss Toms. Girt Reserve adviser, intercepted a pass and triumphly carried the pigskin, catsup bottle, to the picnic table in time for everyone to dig in and fill up on wieners, marshmallows, cho- colate milk, and apples. In fact many of the gals ate so much that various forms of exercise soon took the place of the game of rugby played before supper. But finally calm and dignity overtook everyone while the girls settled down to sing songs. Les femmes were so good on the harmony that we suggest they make a practice of it. And to show the good ole school spirit they ended up with the Old Alma Mater before the familiar cry. “Let’s go” rang out. but not until everyone pledged to make this year the best ever for the Girl Reserves. And oh. yes. Just to satisfy the publisher of this sheet, and make this conform to a convential news story, the feast took place Tuesday, October 18. at the roadside park on M-78. “Come On Team Fight” It seems that our vocal explosives at pep meetings have a wet fuse, but what shall we do about K? Someone with a big Adam’s apple gives his very best while someone else opens his mouth and swallows the noise. Some expert exporters say. ’’Let the students take any seat in pep meet- ing. This would put the yellers in groups.” The Four Playmates; Organise our yelling better at the games.” Van” says. “Let the good yellers group up. and we would get more yells. Lee Willie; What do you think would get more yells, yelling or whispering? Here’n There Ah. fall! The time of year when the leaves are pitched high in huge colorful piles. In the autumn twilight the bonfires send hungry fingers of red and angry flames reaching up to the trees and the star-tossed Hky beyond. It really makes one feel poetic—but that would never, never do for a high school senior. Would it? • ••• With dictionary in hand we sit ourselves down to find a word to describe Pat Beechler. Cute is too. too overworked, and so is swell, grand, nice, and if we use anything else it might make her feel conspicuous. We’ll let her off easy by saying she's plenty OK. • ••• Bob Cove, recognized master of the trombone around these-here parts says that Phillip Williams is really coming along fine on that slip an’ slide instrument. And if you want further proof, all of Shorty’s” neighbors will agree that he practices morn. noon, and eve. • ••• It has finally come out that Mr. Dykhouse ad- mitted that he didn’t know what a Jitterbug was. Read your last issue of the Orange and Black, teacher. Personality Paragraphs “What do I like to do best? Chew gum. Black- Jack preferred. I like all music and sports, es- pecially football, am very much interested In science, and take chocolate sundaes before any other kinds. We’ve seen her in the sax section of our band, in assemblies singing popular songs, and before the lights in numerous plays. I ast year one of the main members of the operetta cast at the last moment was taken sick with the mumps. Some one was needed to take her place, and this rosey-cheeked senior acted as substitute. She learn- ed the part in two hours and played It with flying colors. She likes to be called ‘Suzy’ but her given name is Rosemary, to be exaot, Rosemary Fielder . After much persuasion, the tall, brown-eyed lad from Lansing Eastern, known as Fred Wieting. consented to an interview. Coooanut cream pie Is his favorite food, and hunting is his hobby. Unlike :n.OharlotU students, he prefers chemistry to any other subject. He likes sports and is very in- terested in basketball. When asked how he liked Charlotte high school he stated that Charlotte has a better gym than most class A schools, and the auditorium is also very nice. He hopes Charlotte will play basketball with East loosing high school, and he Just wants to see Charlotte trim them. His humor cropped out when he stated that all Char- lotte lacked was an elevator. His prized posses- sion is a propeller, autographed by Clem Sohn. the bat-wing flier, who was killed in France laBt year. When asked about girls he said. The fewer the better with the exception of one in Charlotte. He plan» to spend much of his time in Lansing playing independent basketball. My story surrounds this good-looking, versatile senior. Why? Because no one seems to know very much about him. Who? None other than Robert Ful- ton. Bob gave his permission to be quoted as saying. I could live mainly on roast beef, mashed potatoes, and Jello (strawberry) with lot of pine- apple.” For a hobby he collects material on boats and cars. He recently collected quite a bit of ma- terial. being a new Buick. Dances et cetera are all right, but I’m uninterested unless Cove's orch- estra furnishes the music, stated Bob. At the pre- sent Rags , Robert’s wire-haired terrier is his most cherished possession. Upon being asked the subject of girls he frankly answered, they are all right, but------- Suttan tPoppor For some unknown reason there has been a great many grouches reported in many of our classrooms lately. So if you are one of these grouchers you can check yourself with the follow- ing test questions. Answer truthfully. Do you become Irritated? ---When you are carefully writing an English theme and someone sneaks up behind you and hits your arm. making your paper look like a pen- manship practice? ---When you are hurrying to your next class and somebody playfully knocks your books all over the floor? ----When the person in back of you in the audi- torium gets restless and begins to pound his knee» on the back of your seat. Jarring your uppers out of line? ---When you lend your new pencil to a pal and he returns it the next hour ground down to the eraser? ----When the teacher slaps on twenty more ques- tions because some guy over in the corner could- n't keep his trap shut? ---When you lend one of your hooks to someone and they return It looking like a looseleaf notebook after a year's usage? If you do become angry at these things you are a grouch. The best cure for this would be not to come to school for about two months next summer. There's One In Every Class ---The fellow who comes to class without his lesson, slumps down in his seat and with a very tired voice says. Aw gee I didn’t know we had anthing for today.” ---After the assignment haa been given and the whole class settled down to work, some wide- awake fellow pipes up. “What do we have for tomorrow? ---The fellow who studies his history In typing class, hie Journalism in history, his math, in Journalism. Is English in math, class and throws chalk, and erasers all study period. Hallowe'en Forecast The days are a wee bit chilly, the last leaves come tumbling down some brown, some red. These are really autumn days! There is that clean, brisk feeling in the wind. The smell of children burn- ing leaves and many other things we can’t explain, but know are there. The nights are gusty, the skies crystal clear specked with bright stars. This time of the year makes a fellow want to whistle whenever that blustering autumn wind hits his cheeks. But, there is something else in the air. A sort of mysterious feel.ng lurks in the shadows, behind each tree or pile of leaves. What is It? We all know, the children look forward to It for weeks, it’s an annual tradition older than the trees we walk under—Hallowe'en. When you see a sinister figure sauntering along the sidewalk! He is there for no good. But horrors! When three or more such rowdies” are espied, run for your life, if you value it, for the nearest rain-barrel and hide. Be sure that your sidewalks are rolled and the cats are out. for this is an ideal night for the feline race. Everyone of these annual nights of so-called “terror a family losses their back gates, barn door or some other essential. Of course, some dim-bulbs” are Just minus enough gray matter to think k fun to re- move some unfortunate's steps to another location or better yet throw some nice gooey mixture on the porch. Consequently this never results in auything but broken bicuspids if one is unlucky enough to fall off his unequipped veranda and the mixture formerly stated never did any porch floor any good. But, “boys will be boys , and if they must do this kid stuff, they must Some wise old birds, however, will be sitting on aforesaid steps with the family “blunderbuss choked to the mouth with rock-salt resting across their knee». Where does it get you. In the end? That's right. Let’s see if we can’t be a Iktle more temperate in our scampering around back yards, etc., this year, shall we? Neighbors expect some things on Hallowe'en. There will be a large Hallowe'en party on that one night of nights sponsored by the council and the business men of Charlotte. For you children who think that you are too old for a movie down at the Eaton theatre, there will be a nice big dance in the new gym. with Bob Cove’s baud play- ing the very good music that they are known for. I'm sure that this will keep some of you naughty boys off the streets on the night that you're supposed to do so. This will be a costume dance, and I imagine that there will be a glorious time to be had by all. We’ve been hearing so many students cry that they think there should be more dances in our school, so now that we put on a real entertaining frolic for you let’s see you all there instead of running around the streets like so many deer. If you really must give vent to all the steam you’ve been saving, we will let you scream all you want. There will be a very colorful parade for you who like to walk around town with your laughter-inspiring clothes. Can't we Just break down and have a good time? Three accidente have laid their terrifying fingers on Charlotte since school has started. Death has reached In twice to directly affect the lives of our fellow students. We don't want to sound preachy and we don't think k’s neces- sary after the lessons we have had. What can you do to guarantee a clean sheet for Charlotte from now on in motor accidents?
