Rest of Journalism Class Armistice Day Rands played! Cannons shot in tribute! People shouted! The whole United States was in an uproar. In ckies crowds were dancing in the streets where confetti and streamers filled the air. Emotions ran high and discipline was not looked upon. Why? The armistice was signed! An agree- ment had been reached between the Allies and Germany. The greatest war ever fought had come to an end. The living soldiers would soon be home at last. It was a day of triumph and glory. There may be glory in war. but the glory in peace is much stronger and will always outlive that small glory that may be in war. For every year since November 11, 1918. this day has been set aside as a national holiday so that, as Americans, we may honor peace. Because of the tense European situation of today, this year, as citizens, we shall pay more tribute to peace than ever before. War is so close that no one knows what may happen in the next twenty-four hours. In England. Armistice day is observed by two minutes of silence in memory of the fallen and a special service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. We. as Americans though, celebrate with parades, football games, and campaigns for the relief of war veterans. Let s ail recognize this as a tradition and no matter how we celebrate it. keep it as a day of peace. Thanksgiving Day How many of us have ever spent a real Thanksgiving day? November 21. shouldn't mean Just Hurrah we have a vacation. A good day to catch some shut eye”, or a quick Thanks for everything Lord.” It should have a deeper meaning-helping others and being sincerely thankful and grateful for the many blessings that have been bestowed upon us. Do you ever stop and think of the many little things that would be so hard to get along without? One of the greatest blessings in the world is a friend. Someone in whom you can confide your troubles and your happiness. Someone who is always understanding and thoughtful. But how olten do we give them a single thought? Most of us never. If we aren't in a position to help others ma- terially. a friendly smile, a cheery greeting, and a kind word will go further than anything to help someone forget his troubles. Let’s see how many Thanksgiving days we can spend before November 21. Masterminds Display Talent A great line of talent was displayed a few nights ago. when the Masterminds of Charlotte high school presented three one-act plays to a large audience. The first big hit of the evening was a comedy titled Enter the Hero directed by Mrs. Alleen Combs, featuring William Austin as the rebellious blackmailed hero. Miss Betty Bohn und Miss Margaret Johnson did a beautiful Job of entangling the poor hero, while Miss Eulalia Toms put the clamps on him. The second big feature of the evening was a drama titled Trifles , directed by Mis Winifred Wells, with business like Harlan McCall as Coun- ty Attorney and dignified Jay Dykhouse as sheriff. Kenneth Brown, a timid neighboring farmer. Miss Mattie Fisher and Mrs. Frances WJI- dern as two thoughtful neighbor ladies, were the great supporting cast. The third grand hit of the evening was an old fashioned melodrama titled Ezra Upshot's Triumph”, directed by Miss Marion Nelthorpe. Featuring Arnold Koch as a blonde mother and Wendell Anderson as the daughter with long red curls, a remarkable combination. The part of the villian being played by Miss Eleanor Toutant and the great hero by Richard Bilbie. The part of weak old Ezra Upshot, the father Just out of prison, was taken by Miss I urctta Allison. Al- together the three big features presented made a very enjoyable evening for everyone present. Newsreel Pat Reechler and Mary King, formerly in the hospital with appendicitis, are recuperating very nicely. Bob Stockwell. you made a hit in assembly; many have asked to hear you again. OK? Who knows. Charles Kybnlkar may become one of the country's greatest political speakers, who knows. An adviser to the lovelorn. Mr. Van Vessem how you've changed! Willie and Pete are to be starred in a new musical show headed for Hollywood. No? No. There seems to be an addition to the football uniforms. Sox maybe?

I want to smoke and chew; I want to run around at night. Like other fellows do. Bud Beechler. Dizzy Definitions Wienies—Hamburgers with tights on. Wife—A person who tell him what to do after it’s too late. Convertible auto sleeping car—It's the bunk. Consider the Hammer It keeps its head. It doesn’t fly off the handle. It finds the point, then drives it home. It looks at the other side, too; and thus often clinches the matter. It makes mistakes but when it does, it starts all over. It is the only knocker in the world that does any good. Daytoi Fisher: I want the life of Julius Caesar. Miss Johnson: Sorry, sir, but Brutus was ahead of you. In The Spotlight Football and Rosey tnke all my time re- marks this popular senior boy. with dark brown hair and hnzel eyes. His cheerful smile and twinkling eyes, even though they’re six feet two inches off the ground, are always seen flashing around. His 170 pounds enable him to be of use to the C. H. S. football team, and he has played very successfully, as half back on the team, for three years. Since this year he has been trying his skill at fullback. Being voted as the Mickey Rooney for the class of ’41. last year, has made him an urdent. admirer of Mickey’s. But Rooney isn’t alone In this admiration, for he also likes Mickey Mouse. By this time you all know of course that this la Bud'' Beechler. Bud’s favorite food Is southern fried chicken, or chicken and noodles. His favorite songs are: Blueberry Hill” and Yankee Doodle.

School Spirit It would seem that our school spirit is eithei lost, strayed or stolen. We don’t know which but won’t you help us get It back? We have three new cheer-leaders, to add to the veterans of last year, to lead us in our cheers, but when four of them are on the stage at once, all we have is a quartet. Why not make it a chorus by all joining in! The bleachers and fence at the football field have been noticeably vacant this season and those attending the games, so few and far between, that the cheerleaders look as if they were putting on pantomimes for the benefit of the players. The amount and volume of our cheers might make the score at the end of the game, just a little different so let’s put our heart into it and really got back of the team and push! The biggest game of the year is coming in four days so let's all go to that game and shower on our team a blitzkreig of cheers! What do you say? Flask This is a corker.......Here’s hoping this year’s football squad bottles up E. R. H. S. ---We aren’t going to print any more jokes. as you will only laugh at them. W.
