Coming in to take their places will be the stu- dent from all over the city of Char- lotte. They too. arc on their way to the top. Upon first entering high school the seventh graders were somewhat be- wildered and confused but under the supervision of their class advisors, Miss Winifred Wells. Mrs. Mario Taylor, and Mrs. Leora Weymouth, they soon settled down and now are well prepared to take another step, into the eighth grade. The class officers for the seventh grade are: president. Leon Stetler; vice president. Jack Hine; secretary, Betty Montgomery: and treasurer. Er- win Radee. The Christmas pageant was made up of seventh and eighth grade stu- dents. This was directed by Miss Marion Nelthorpe and her accompanist was Mr . Leora Weymouth. During May Miss Nelthorpe will put on the annual Spring Operetta. Many seventh grade students will be in it. Several seventh and eighth grade students participated in the Journal- m Carnival and Susan Stucky at this time was chosen as queen of her class.

I fully appreciate the fine co-opera- tion received from the teachers, stu dents, class officers and student coun- cil. We have received the co-opera- tion so necessary to success and hope we shall work exceedingly hard to try together, throughout the years of our high school life. We shall also try to better ourselves each year. HETTY SUMMKRIX. '45 Climbing!

FEATURE The CHARHIAN Mind Tbate jbata Conversation and Thought Before, During and After BEFORE SHE: (Let'a see. .Murtle said he had a darling crew cut and would l e wearing a sweater with a letter C. brown checked pants and—Oh. woe is me! I hope none of the other girls see me—That must be him and is he terrible. I hope mine of the other girls see me—his pants—she didn't say the check was like a horse blanket, or his sweater was too small. That hair. It looks like a cross between a porcupine and a moth-eaten Fuller brush. Just wait 'til I get my hands on Murtle.» Oh. hello, are you Hugo Haasenpfeffer? 1 knew you right away from Murtle's descrip- tion. But she didn't say you were so good- looking. HE: (Gee. I guess I really made a hit. But what a mess—Dick never said anything aliout her having bow-legs and buck teeth. He just raved aliout her slim ankles. And that hair—I could do better with some mat- tress stuffing and glue. Hope we don't meet the fellows.» All set? O.K. We're off. Where do you want to go? SHE: Murtle said something about the C Thea- ter but I'd rather Just go to Rerhen’s and Bowes. 1 don't gi there often with a date ah. 1 mean. ah. for u long time, tl don't think any of the kids were planning to go there tonight.» HE: That's a good idea. I'd rather do that than see a show, i What a relief. I know none of the fellows will lie in R. and B.'s tonight.) Here's me car. Hop in. SHE: Oh. your own car? How smooth. (Is this the car Murt said was so wonderful? Huh! This is the poorest excuse for a model T I've ever seen. Murt must never have seen a car newer than a 1927 model.) CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! DURING SHE: What? Oh. pardon me. I was thinking of something else. (Gee. none of the girls have come in yet. I sure hope they don't. This spook is sure a cheapskate Fine thing, he orders a coke for me and a banana split for himself without even asking what I want.) My. It was sweet of you to bring me here. HE: Oh. thanks. 1 always do the best for my dates. (I wish I could say the same for her she hasn't said two words since we've been here, and the way she slopped up that coke—you'd think she hadn't been fed in a week. Oh well, no one I know has seen us—yet.) AFTER HE: Boy did I have fun! Say. you don't know the half of it (I hope). He was so good looking he was a cross between Robert Tay- lor. Clark Gable and Tyrone Power. He had a lieautlful convertible and gobs of money. I was hoping to see some of you girls, but 1 didn't. Say. Murtle. I want to talk to you .... Alone! IE: Boy fellas did I have a date with a‘ last night. What a looker. Good old Dick got me the date—Say by the way where is he. I'd like to see him . . Alone! BLANKETY-BLANK VERSE When you started this, you thought it was a poem, by now. you are mistaken Isn't It funny how people will continue to read something even when they know they're being fooled. Here’s To The Seniors The school year's over now for 1941. You'll miss the seniors, sadly, when they go. For we've had such very busy times, along with loads of fun. And we'll miss the many friends that we know. We'll miss your smile Lenora Friar and Katy Cooper's, too. Also the thundering buss of ('barley Lea. And the swing of Phillip's saxophone, so hot. so shrill, so blue Mid the trumpet (all of Hurold Muyhew. so free. The physic lab won't be the same with wise Dean Widrlf gone. The planes and saws will surely miss Bob D. The halls will seem so quiet without Rosie's and Phyllis' songs. And the cut-up. Daytan Fisher, gone to sea. Oh we'll miss our Dorothy Cochran and her flashing diamond. And the honk of Mary Helen's Chevrolet. Ever was she very glad to take her classmates for a ride And Shirley Johnson's Ford. too. knew the way. Now. those clever nimble lingers of fair Jerry will l e missed At the keytxmrd. so will Dorain H.'s too. And our artists. Stan and Marilyn, and lovely Maxine Rogers rhymes All will Ik remembered as we say adieu— Well off recall Russ Bradley and his winning big mile run And clever Doris Mason’s all A grades. The hair styles of Kenny Collins and Ruth Town sure have allure. And the memory of cute Donis Fletcher never fades. The friendliness of Don Fields and Louise Griffin And Norma Smith, so very, very shy. The business-like ability of Secretary Marilyn On- All will be remembered when we say Goodbye”. We'll think of Gordy Cameron whose baritone he toots. And of Richard Tharp and his little red pick-up. We recall sweet Arlene Stanke. who In the office works. And Harold Carman, the good looking A P store clerk. Byron Walters and his Peggy . Max Dowker and his bus. Max Hosmer and his rapid Model T . And busy Chuck Briggs who counts his papers every day. And the mayor. Russell Steinman. good old mayor Russ' . You're a high-grade class of seniors and your work superior You deserve the many honors you have won And we're wishing you. here and now. much hap- piness in life You splendid boys and girls of '41 ... . BUDGET Dr: Id like to have u quart of blood for a trunsfuslon. Can you give it? Stan Burt: I can only give you a pint. I gotta shave tomorrow. Could Be—Who Knows? Students returning to C. H. S. next fall will find the familiar faces of the class of '41 missing, but the members of the up and coming junior class will fit in the vacant spaces easily. Rosella McIntyre could ably fill the busy position of Arlene Stanke. Pat Beechler and Jane Mulhol- land may take the places of Mary Gregarek and Martha Snow as the only girls in the physics class. That electrical wizard. Dean Widrig. might return to find Don Grier operating his complicated appar- atus. The Iwnd will miss the clarinet playing of Phil Sherman and Ray Kroodsma. but Bruce Gar- linghouse could play loud enough for both of them. Have you been wondering who in school has the artistic ability of Marilyn Canfield, well It's Jean Curlson and Phyllis Cochran: more power to you girls. Ed. Hughes will probably be the one most honored to take over Bob Pittinger's duties in entertaining the study hall—but—here’s a puzzle. Who will be the one that will take over the position of Bono Walters? Isn't there anyone beg pardon) any man in this school with his ability—look around you—No? Oh well, only time will tell: perhaps he can never be replaced. Where oh whei'e will we ever find anyone to per- form the many duties Rosemary Parkhurst and Phyllis Andrew's fulfill by their good nature and willingness to sing on any program at any time. Well another Rosemary whose last name is Spag- nuolo has shown us that she can do it if she only will. We'll Ik depending on you. Rosey. A visit to Mr. Austin's advanced speech class would not find Currol Strlngluim's determined arguing, although Dick Sanders might be carrying on the tradition. And though this Is only a guess. It wouldn't Ik surprising to find Don Bottomley sleeping in Max Dowker's seat in civics. Even if the faculty does miss the helpful and plentiful advice of Stanley Burt, both Edd Simek and Uw- rence Hall are ready, willing, and able. Perhaps none of these prophecies seem true, but then, they laughed at Henry Ford when he dreamed of a horseless carriage. C. H. S. Coed Everyone knows her! The bell rings. The class disappears. When the dust clears our C. H. S. coed comes up for air. She Is rather modest, generally speaking. No one minds much w'hen she displays her knees from the front row In classroom—no one looks at them, that Is! If she smiles with praiseworthy reserve at the teacher's doubtful jokes. It may Ik because she's heurd them l efore. There is an open- faced charm al out her—she talks a great deal, and uses her mouth widely to do it. Her nose she pow’ders with some degree of constancy; the effect is often unique and fairly grotesque. After the bell, she hurries to her locker and chats with her partner, telling the latest gossip (and don't think she doesn't know it). Putting on her reversible, her scarf, and her boots she starts for that hang-out of all the l elch-squelching coke fiends. On the way our coed elbows herself through the rush, and squeezes through doorways, leaving behind a few gently mangled lx dies as she emerges with some knick-knack under each arm She is al- ways reprimanded for having things in her room, but she still insists on collecting a souvenir from each place she visits. Once at her destination she leaves her belongings where the lost and found can pick them up. She never has been seen with a man but one Is convinced she has knowledge of them. She talks about them, and it is great fun to listen because she is either making it up or knows very strange ones. It might be worth your while, fellows, to call on her some time, but keep track of your money and your Hi-Y pin. THE QUESTION Mr. Austin: You must economize! Think of the future. If your folks should die. where would you be? Pete Haines: I would lx here all right. The question Is where would they be? NO GAIN Wayne Terwilllger: She said she would be faithful to the end. Bud Beechler: Why. that sounds good!” Twig: Yes. but Im the quarterback.
