McCall Reporters ...............Rest of Journalism class Publisher Managing Armistice Day Telephones rang! People shouted! The whole United States was in an uproar In cities confetti and streamers filled the air. Crowds were dancing in the streets. It was a time when emotions ruled and not discipline. Why? The armistice was sign- ed! An agreement had been reached between the Allies and Germany. The greatest war ever fought by nations was at an end. The soldiers that were left were coming home at last. It was a day of peace; to be held in reverence and glory. There may be glory in war but the glory of peace will outlive the glory of war. For every year since 1918. November 11 has been a national holi- day so that, as Americans, we may honor peace. This year we. as citizens, should pay more tribute to peace than ever before because of the European situation. War is so close to us that no one knows what may happen in the next twenty- four hours. In Plngland Armistice Day is observed by two minutes of silence In memory of the fallen. They are much more serious about this than we Ameri- cans. We celebrate by parades, football games, and campaigns for the relief of war veterans. But. no matter how we observe this day. let us keep it as a day of peace. World Comes To An End An explosion was heard! Students ducked the small particles flying in the air. Another, and still another explosion could be heard!! Soon the heads of the braver pupils could be seen peeping above the tables. Had Germany finally declared war? Was it the aftermath of the World war? Or had the world suddenly come to an end? That is what you might imagine but you are wrong. It seems that some chemistry students were doing an intricate experiment with hydrogen. But every- thing didn't work out right so these unlucky learn- ers of knowledge are out something like 40c for equipment. Let s Show Some School Spirit How about coming down to see the big football game when Charlotte plays Eaton Rapids? Where is that school spirit everyone is supposed to have? It's hard to believe but some students have never seen a football game. If you hnppen to be one of these, make up your mind that this can never he said of you again. If you have made up your mind to this effect, the team will appreciate your support and you will get the thrill of your life. So come on gang, let's all turn out for the game!! We be- lieve we have a good chance of winning, so three cheers for the team and more power to you. It seems that the journalism room is getting very popular with the students of this noble and learned house of correction, pardon me!!! I mean, instruction !!!!!! Every time that you turn around a person can be seen lurking in its depths. Can't we fix this, so that a guy who really wants to work can do so?? WE know thai some or most of you are not journalism students, the room is meant for them only, and you do not belong there. And say! so-called journalism, students how about working when you get in there heh???? School Conduct In Fire Easy Lessons Always wait until about fifteen seconds before the last bell rings and then try to break the record for the 100 yard dash while on the way to class. If you knock anyone’s books flying keep on going because if they are going slower than you are they probably have more time than you do. When late for class (of course this seldom hap- pens) never bring an admit, make the teacher keep on his toes and force you to go hack after one. Slam the door hard when you return, this will make the teacher Jump and he or she will give the matter his or her immediate attention, not only that but the students will also notice you and they will think you are a big shot. During assemblies always make it a point to speak to someone at least five or six seats away: this gets the speaker in a good mood and he will think that you are really an exceptional person, which in a sense (certainly not common sense) you are. When you are absent for an hour or so never get a summons nor an admit. Someone from the office will come around to find out where you were. The Idea of this is to break the monotony in the office because they never have anything else to do. Forget at least once a week (different people can alternate so there will be something missing every day), sometlhing that you should have for class. Certain things are best for this practice. Those generally recommeuded are: paper and books and also pencil sharpening. The teachers will give you an excellent mark for this trait: you know an E. Excuse me folks, the last bell Just rang. Here’n There Now that election is over, what are “Van's civic dusses going to argue about? Nothing has been said lately about our three snappy drum majors. They really deserve plenty of credit for “strutting their stuff in front of the Oriole Band. By the way. Leone Haddix has been “twirling less than a year. Nice work. Leone! Some naughty little Imys went too far with their Halloween pranks Fiat tires and discon- nected spark plugs certainly aren't In the spirit of Halloween. Personality Paragraph My orchestra is my favorite pastime. re- plied this popular senior with blue eyes and brown hair. He very emphatically expressed his hatred for suuer kraut, but stated. My favorite dish is escalloped potatoes—I guess Instantly when ask- ed about the subject of girls he exclaimed. You ought to know.” Seeing that this young chap has an orchestra, naturally his ambition Is to have a Big name band. By now you should know that this is none other than Bob Cove. He was bom here in Charlotte. February 28, 1921. His most cherished possessions are Leone and his trombone. One of our up and coming seniors and a well- known athlete. Murray Chandler, consented to have some of the facts of his life put to press. Murray, or better known to high school stu- dents as Sonny , is a member of the football squad and is an alternate at either center or for- ward on the basketball team. He also runs the dashes in track. He Is 17 and his favorite sport and hobby is basketball, also as a pastime “Son enjoys reading. Banana cream pie and jello with bananas are his favorite dishes. Murray does not think much of girls, but says. They are pretty good Christmas card salesmen. pertaining to the senior girls of course. By the way. this young lad is president of the senior class. He is in the upper third of his class and states that he plans to go to college His athletic ability will be missed very much by the footl»all and basketball squads, as Murray graduates next June. Toasted cheese sandwiches and rhubarb pie , answered our language teacher. Miss Margaret Johnson, in reply to the question about her favorite food. She dislikes people, who are untidy in ap- pearance. and contract bridge. In regard to sports she likes to watch a good baseball game, but for playing sports herself she enjoys tennis and swim- ming. This is her first year to teach French, but has already decided, that she likes it better thun Latin, because It is more musical . When asked if she has a hobby she replied emphatically, “music, definitely . She plays both the piano and the sax- ophone. and likes all kinds of music, but prefers the classical and semi-classical types such as. The Desert Song”, and Rosary” to swing.

This picture is lighter in theme than the others, but no less powerful In entertainment.
