BUCK PRIVATES THE CHARHIAN Division Maneuvers Among the many seventh grade that have entered Charlotte high school, this year's class is among those who have been the moat out- standing in their activities during the year. Mary Mead was elected president of the class; Carl Lindblom. vice-presi- dent; Mary Sanders, secretary; and Delores Michel, treasurer. In February, the seventh and eighth grades organized a dance club which was to be held every Monday night in the girls' gym. The purpose of the club was to teach the students to dance. Richard Bllble, class adviser, and Mrs. Ixn ra Weymouth, junior high principal, were in charge. Sever- al parents of the seventh grade helped to teach the students. This proved to be a very successful undertaking. Another activity of the year was sending flowers to any member of the class or teacher who was ill. Financially the class has begun their high school career with a big start, one of their most successful fin- ancial activities being the candy sales at noon. Another honor which goes to this up and coming class of C.H.S. Is the representation In the Hoy Scouts of America. Most of the Hoy Scouts who have led the assembly programs in the pledge of allegiance have been boys from the seventh grade. The class is also well represented in the high school cadet bund. Jacquelyn Yund was chosen queen of the class and was crowned at the Journalism Carnival in March.

THE CHARHIAN ARMY MORALE PRESENTING - Jacob VanVessem, Inc. The scene: Mr. VanVessem'» office. The characters: Mr. VanVessem and the Charhlan Reporter. Reporter: (pleading) Van. I've l»een in here nearly two hours now. We’ve talked of almost everything under the sun except .... Well, you see Van. I came here to interview you for the C'harhian. and so far. . . . Van: Oh I see. you should have mentioned it sooner. Just what would you like to know? Reporter: First, what was your main ambition during your younger years? Van: Now that’s an interesting question. It so happens that I wanted very much to inherit a fortune, so that I could spend the rest of my life independently . . . and uh. leisurely. Reporter: What would you like to do. Van: Of course, right now I'll be occupied, pretty much so. hut if 1 could I would like to do nothing better than to run the little novelty shop that my partner and I have in Holland. My partner and I get along together and although it isn’t a large business, it's growing. Reporter: If you did that as your work, what would you do for pleasure? Van: I want just a little place with a garden so that after work I could go out and work in my garden without worrying about someone's in- terfering with me. Reporter: Do you think high school people of today are much different from those when you went to school? Van: They haven't changed very much. Of course we didn't get around quite so uh. well, quite so rapidly, but that wasn't so much a matter of moral integrity as it was of technique. Reporter: (a little ruffled, or something Well, now. why don't you tell me something about your education? Van: I was born in Holland. Michigan, and I was caught in the draft before they raised the age level. My father was the pastor of the Christian Reformed church. I went to Calvin College in Grand Rapids, then I taught for two years in a parochial school where we had to say prayers four times a day. I went back to Calvin College and took a year of pre-med work. The stuff was too hard for me. so I finished up by taking four years of regular work at Michigan State. I’ve been teaching here for 8 years now. I’ve taught civics, economics. American history. American gov- THE ARMY WAY I got a package from my girl. She knitted me some socks. At least, that's what she said they were. It’s marked right on the box. She made them with her own sweet hands. Rut curses on the luck! They neither look nor act like socks. And first off. I was stuck. My army ingenuity Has found a way. by heck! I’ve knotted them together And I’ll wear them round my neck Our Senior Trip Due to a lack of funds this year, the senior class decided to spend a Day visiting some of the places of interest near by. So we all piled in Mrs. Kipllnger's new Pierce-Arrow. Mr. Manors Rybnikar (a brand new make), and Mr. Austin's Cherry red station wagon. The cars were all decorated with Denison crepe paper In the class ernment. Reporter: Do you get a great deal of satisfaction out of teaching? Van: I've never had the feeling that I've sent a class of students out into the world know- ing most of what there was to know about government or civics, but I have got much satisfaction Just out of knowing those kids and being with them. Reporter: Would you ever advise a person to be- come a teacher? Van: Not unless that person was a strong idealist, and had great confidence in his powers of teaching To be a teacher, and to be truly successful and satisfied a person must be an idealist for the simple reason that the results of teaching are so Intungible. It's not like being a doctor and giving a person medicine, because there you can see for yourself whether the person died, or benefitted by the medicine. Reporter: But it seems that if you didn't get full satisfaction out of your work, there would be no sense in continuing it. Van: That's true, but you must realize that in a person the desire to survive is often greater than the desire to achieve an ideal. Mrs. Hynes (to husband)— Thinking of me. dearest?” Mr. Hynes— Was I laughing? I’m sorry. Did you hear about the woman who killed her husband with a bow and arrow so that she wouldn’t wake up the children? Excerpt from the autobiography of Frank D. Elies. The world may go on without me. but I doubt it!” What has Clark Gable got that Russell Dean hasn't tried to get? colors. We drove past many beautiful Holme and large farms with big barns where there was Stockwell cared for. Across one Field we could see a small hut. We asked a Woodman if that was where the Weaver lived who was Sellen her small rugs. He suid it was. so we got out and walked across to the door and knocked. The old lady came to the door, unfastened the Locke and let us in. She was Hale and hearty and glad to let us see her rugs and show us how she wove them. Some of us bought some to take home. We went back to the road around a big Marih and across a brook. One of the girls told a funny Riddle and one boy laughed so hard he stubbed his toe on a Root that stuck up and fell fiat! We crossed the brook on stepping stones and there in the Bottomley a Dymond ring that some one had lost. One of the girls who is an artist found some Clay by the brook and took some home to model with. There was a large Crane standing farther up the brook and one of the girls got a good picture of It. We got back to the cars, and our next stop was at a Cole mine. They let us go down and watch the miners at work, which was very Interesting. We stopped at a lovely hotel in a city for dinner, where a Porter met us at the door and showed , us where the dining room was. We were served Wright away with a fine meal After dinner we took in some of the places of interest. We stopped at a blacksmith's shop ami watched the Smith shoe a horse. While In the city. Mr. Austin went to a Taylor and ordered a new suit of clothes. We wanted to go to the Kellogg plant but didn’t have time. Just as the sun was getting low we came within sight of the old waterworks Tower, and we were soon back in the Hall of learning where we unloaded. We had tried to behave this trip and so saved ourselves and next year’s seniors a Peck of trouble. Jean Carlson: Have you seen Calvin Fullerton since he was graduated? Phyllis Cochran: Yeah! I saw him last week. Jean: What's he taking up now? Phyllis: Oh. about a shovelful at a time. Ooe iJte ut 9 t a BlacJicuti Hello. Hello. That you Joe? Yeah, this is Joe. It doesn't sound like Joe.
