How did you like the broadcasting system at the St. Johns-Charlotte game? Gives the fans something to talk about when they hear such im- portant men as Junior Ty Tyson) Squibb and Jack (Harry Heilman) Smith announcing the games. C. H. 8. There's a rumor that the second team got beat Wednesday. October 11. after school. Is that right? ? ? ? ? Circuit Standings Assembly Offers Slow- Motion Football Preview The Girls’ Athletic Association pre- sented the assembly Friday, October 6. The girls from this organization staged a slow-motion preview of the football game to be played that after- noon with St. Johns as rivals. Leone Haddix acted as captain of the Char- lotte team, and Jean O’Dell as captain of the St. Johns team. During the rest period at the end of the first half. Mary King acted as a tap-dancing water boy. The band was also on re- view and during the half marched down the gymnasium, playing the school songs and making formations. Charlotte won the battle, and at the conclusion of the real game that same afternoon the prophecy proved to be nothing but the truth.” Betty Bruce served as program chair- man. and as referee of the game. Dur- ing the last portion of the hour a short pep meeting was held. The students were coached by the cheer leaders in some new yells and with the aid of the band William Austin directed the singing of the two school songs.

McCall Reporters .............Rest of Journalism Class October 31 !! ! Today9s the Day! Sink or swim is the question now foremost in the minds of the student body, as the critical mo- ment at last arrives. For today marks the ending of the first six weeks of school, and you know what that means! This noon report cards will be dis- tributed from the various home rooms. Sometime today the honor roll will be posted on the bulletin board, and all students retaining an A or B average during each of the six marking periods will be eligible for the annual honor banquet, held the first of June. Thanks Have you noticed the new score board and flag pole appearing on our local football field? The score board was presented to the athletic department by the following persons. Howard Rus- sell. M. H. Fielder. Clyde Fulton, Elmo Youngs. Paul Packard. Harold E. Smith. A. C. Cheney. Smith Edwards. Charles Wood, and the Beech- lers. The flag pole was donated by the local post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, headed by James Sanders. Strange things may happen on Halloween, su- perstitious people used to believe. They thought that witches rode on broom sticks, evils played tricks on all sober people and performed a hundred other magic things. Many of the beliefs have come down from 2.000 years or more, for our Halloween occurs about the time of the old Druidic autumn festival This was an ancient Roman festival in honor of Pomona, the goddess of fruit and garden. Many of the pagan customs still remain, so on our Halloween like their Druidic festival, we shall crack nuts, bob for apples, throwing the peel- ings over our shoulders, and look Into a mirror by holding a candle in a darkened room as they did years ago. In this country instead of celebrating on Nov- ember 1. ns they did many years hence, we cele- brate October 31. So. hang on to your hats, for it won't be long now until some night, around October 31. you will be seeing all of these queer looking creatures walking about the darkened streets of Charlotte. We wish to thank both individuals and organi- zations of the community which have made pos- sible these better facilities for our high school athletic department. Why Do Some People Predominate In All Activities? Many a time you've asked the question. Why do tome people get all the class offices and honors ? Well, maybe you don't put your best foot forward and show people that you are capable of doing work assigned you. Maybe you think that you are not capable of doing the job that is given you. or that it wouldn't be an office you could stick to. and put all you have into it. Stiffen your backbone and undertake these duties and do the best you can. that is all anyone expects of you. Are you able to get around people, give them your opinion as to different questions that come up? Are you always ready to serve on committees, or are you the person that always has too much other work to do? The people who are the busiest are those who always can do a little more. So don't give up. start today and make yourself ac- ceptable to others. There is Value Even in Failure! Have you ever stopped to realize that there is value as well as disappointment in failure? That is to say that if some people had not met failure or disillusion in some step of their work they would have had nothing to inspire them to greater goals If a person has the will-power and the perseverence. he can overcome any handicap that falls in the way of completing a project, he can let every mistake he makes be a lesson so that the uext time he tries he can do that much better. He can learn as he works and lives, whereas if a person does everything right the first time, or if circumstances run smoothly all through his life with no cause to worry or fret, that person will never know the meaning of sacrifice, will never know what hardships some people have to endure during a lifetime. So. the next time you feel rather put out over some failure, don't let that get you down. Just try. try. again! Personality Sketches When I asked Kenny” Collins if I might inter- view him. he said, of course , and gave me one of his very pleasing smiles. Well, girls, he isn’t at all fussy about his food. He positively detests unfriendly people. Over the Rainbow is his fav- orite song, and prodding deeper we find history to be his favorite subject. He plans to attend Michigan State after graduation, where he will study to be a geologist. He is rather proud of his natural curly hair In his leisure time he draws or Just fusses around. He thinks Charlotte high school is swell so far! As for girls well, they’re all right, especially a certain senior girl, who has her locker next to his. I want to be a doctor”, exclaimed Joan Barnes, one of our peppy little seventh graders. In the field of sports her attention is attracted by ice skating in the winter and swimming in the sum- mer. Art is her favorite subject When I asked Joan what song she considered as her favorite, she said. “Over the Rainbow”, without taking time to ask herself. In answer to the food questions, she quickly exclaimed. Oh. vegetable soup and choc- olate milk! Joan has an unusual prized possession.; When I asked her to tell me what it was. she promptly replied. Wilma’s diary . Upon entering; the subject of boys” she looked at me a moment and then said. Oosh, I don’t know. Blustering into Mr. Bllbie's home room one third hour. I noticed a very attractive young lady sitting next to his desk. At a second glance I saw that it was none other than that sweet young lady I had come in contact with many times in the hall Cel lamae Tharp. I asked If I might take a few moments of her time for an interview, which she gladly consented to. She really isn’t fussy about her food, but admitted ice cream is her favorite. Being a freshman she is very fond of our school song. It seems at last, we have found a student who likes algebra, maybe it Is because she is look ing forward to becoming a dietitian, gaining her education at Michigan State. When I asked her how she likes school she said. Well, its a lot better than I thought it was going to be . On the subject of fellows she thinks they are alright in some cases. Sewing Is her hobby and she does plenty of It. She has a great dislike for unfriendly and snobbish people. Corridor Qossip Have you noticed the great increase of school spirit present everywhere about the halls, and at the games, and pep meetings, over last year's low standard? What prominent trio about school has resorted to square dancing? Ask Gloria Beebe. Eleanor lUj mond. or Howard Newsome. (Wonder who tb» fourth one was?) We are really proud of our new score-board down at the football field, together with that and oar exclusive public address system, we are actually able to understand what is going on. Here's a vote for one of the cutest couples in Charlotte High. Donald Jack Fields and Theo Jane Erickson. If you want to see a fine looking group of stu- dents. keep watch of Stevenson's show window Yes. they're the class of good old 40 . Do you know who the present Casanova II Is? None other than Clarence Squibb Remember the Four Bombers. Harlo Dewey. Rob Munger. Don Smith, and Milton Briggs, prominent in high school athletics about four years ago? Since then various groups have sprung up to take their places, but the popular group now is known as The Seven Sparks”, namely. Lynn Fowler. Bud Beechler. Fred Wieting. Jack Mate. Bud Ham- mond. Neil Clever, and Rube Snyder. I wonder how long it will be before Charles Wise will chance another round with Mr. Bilbie. We certainly have had some fine assemblies this year, thanks to Leone Haddix. Here's hoping that we can have many more. Our seniors are really ambitious this year. They have planned out many profitable ways to raise money for their trip, which is to be rather different this year. Chicago is their destination! Here's hoping they get there. Good luck kids. I wonder what Arthur Stewart thinks of Mary Lou’s sudden interest elsewhere. Talk about ambition, the juniors In Mrs Comb’s home room have sold over $120 worth of magazine subscriptions. That certainly will feast the seniors in fine style at the prom! I wonder what Wilma Barnes’ current interest in the navy is. Three guesses! Noticed Lee Willis walking down the street the other day with two little girls, one on either side, and each holding his hand. Let us In on It. Lee. or else share the wealth . Don’t you think Don Fields looks right sophistic- ated in those new specks—or. at least more scholar- ly? How many have dates for the prom? Have you noticed some of the boys’ flashy socks, especially Dick Tharp’s. Did you ever Jump to miss a mud puddle and land right in the middle of it? Well. Just ask Dick Tharp what happens when you have light shoes on! Bud” Beechler seems to be taking life seriously I these days. Isn't he. Rosemary? If you didn’t hear “Moe Braden’s little speech he gave a few weeks ago in home room, just ask him sometime what he thinks about himself. Your not at all conceited are you Moe”? This column is filled, however, so cheerio 'til | next time. Ten Easy Rules on School Etiquette 1. Always plan on being five or ten minutes late! 2. Never lock your lockers! It’s a good habit 3. Chew gum vigorously during classes! 4. Don’t remove your hat as you enter the school building! 5. Postively do not make way for a lady! 6. If possible avoid all hard work! 7. Forget yourself and continously cut up dur- ing student assemblies. 8. Save your money, by skimping on class dues’ 9. Win friends by being the freshest” thing in school. 10. Above all. neglect whatever is happening in your daily classes C. H. S. Eggs It seems that quite a few students have been wondering If the Journalism class Is starting a hatchery or laying eggs. The truth of the matter Is that C. H. S. Eggs means coming events. Literally it means eggs that have not hatched as yet. So look for the chickens when the date rolls around.

The Centralia also carried a picture of an interesting personnage, and after rummaging through some old papers and making a few telephone calls, it has been discovered that J.

Mart Buck, graduate of '73 is the oldest living graduate of Charlotte high school and with her daughter. Mrs. Lena Buck Adams, mother of J. Harry, and an- other grandson Colonel R. Adams, form three generations of C. H. S. Alumni. Mrs. Buck was present at the dedication services when the foun- dation of the new school was laid in ’36 and exclaimed that the first school built in 1869 had served the students up to that time. Mrs. Buck also stated that in reality. “I never really graduated. but being one of the strongest members of the class, later received a membership to the alumni association. The schools were not graded until 1871 and It was not their fault that diplomas were not awarded until 1874. Mrs. Buck, with Harry’s father and mother still resides in Charlotte, which has been her home since the age of twelve. Club Album School clubs began their meetings for the year October 2.
