As Mayor of Charlotte high school Richard James Sanders has this to say. and you may quote him. “It's been like learning to drive. You keep learning, and the more you think you know, the more mistake» you seem to muke. Just when you feel that you couldn't even steer straight if you were paid to. some one says. ’Well son. today you can take the car alone, you're on your own now.’ That's how it feels to be graduating I’ve had twelve years in which to learn. I know I’m capable, but I don’t always feel it. Dick's” hobby is photography, and now that he knows how to read, he spends most of his time doing so. R. C. Nurse In her three years in Charlotte.

I absolutely gorge myself on pastry- French pastry, please— but I simply can't stand even the odor of suurkraut. I dislike crude people, small towns, bubles. and sentiment of any kind. Jane writes letters iu her leisure time, which she has little of. anu her mailing list could easily compare with that of Gene Autry’s, who by the way is another on the list of dislikes. She admits that chemistry was her favorite subject because there were some tuirteen boys in the class and just two girls. June states her ambitions very simply.

With her usual friendly smile she said. Of course, what would you like to know? I soon learned that Jane is very fond of lemon pie and chili, and loves to eat oranges (if she can eat them in bed.) She readily revealed that her favorite subject has been French, and that it occupies most of her time. In the same breath with her likes, she said ”1 detest kid brothers and Greta Garbo.” (Where the con- nection lies is beyond me.) Jane loves china dogs and begs, borrows, or steals them, if need be. When approached on the subject of graduation, she gave me a short but effective statement. I've done a lot of complaining, but I really hate to leave.” During a literature exam the teacher came up behind Virginia Bryant and said. Virginia. I hope I didn’t see you copying from Junior’s paper.” Gosh.” said Ginny. ”1 hope you didn't either!”

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.

THE CHARM I AN SPORTS GritWers Finish Season TAKE EARLY SEASON LEAD Chalking Up Six Wins Orioles Whip Everett In Biggest Upset of Season After many weeks of hard toll, calisthenics and so on. the Charlotte football team for 1942 gradually rounded into shape. The Orioles, with lettermen Simek. Hall. Hicks. Bot- tomley. Garlinghouse ami Terwilliger back, appeared headed for a mediocre scuson. but with the help of Mike” Mathews. Phil Snyder. Jack Clever George Willard. Charles Gordon, ami George Maclkmald the Orioles came through a rough schedule with six wins, one loss, and one lie. MacDonald came to Charlotte from Newberry and. as a uicklo or end. which he played both, was a big cog in the Oriole-» success. Mathews, a speedy sopho- more. teaming with TerwIlliger, gave the Orange and Black a feared of- fensive weapon. With Bot tomley and Wellman bucking the line, and Gar- linghouse grabbing short passes, the Orioles had a well-balanced attack. Jack Clever's toe accounted for 13 extra points throughout the season and his kick-offs were also very help- ful in setting the opponents back. Front Row—Edgar Rambdu. Elwood Martin. - Mike Mathews.

He was selected as an all-conference end as a «jridder and received honorable mention on the all-state football team. Dedication Opens Season ( II. S. Meeting Battle Creek Lakeview in the dedication game. Charlotte scored in every period to crush a bewildered Spartan eleven. 26 to 0. Excellent blocking by the Oriole line and hacks paved the way for four touchdown gallops by Terwilliger. Their second encounter was with Coldwater at Charlotte, and although a close game resulted, the Orioles pulled through 20 to 7. Mason evaded Charlotte’s gridiron for the next game and fell before a powerful attack 38 to 6. Next came the strong, undefeated Grand Ledge gridders. who. after a thrilling game topped the Orioles for the first time. 14 to 6. A long pass from Mathews to Terwilliger gave Charlotte its only score. while Charlie” Imoff accounted for both Ledger touchdowns Charlotte Journ- eyed to Hastings the following week and knocked off a high-riding Saxon eleven. 27 to 6. The first half was very close. Charlotte leading 13 to 6. but the Orioles charged back in the second half to add 14 more points to their total and walked off with a one- sided victory. Bob Pierce, giant Hastings' fullback, was given such a beating every time he carried the ball that he was removed from play late in the game. Pierce was the whole Saxon attack and his absence left them helpless. Another road trip found Charlotte facing Howell, who had spoiled the Orioles’ basketball season the year before, but the Orange and Black eleven avenged this loss with an easy 21 to 0 win. Harold McMacken. Howell fullback, who was causing the Orioles lots of trouble, was severely injured in the third quarter and taken out. Mathews’ two long runs were the feature of the game. Wellman in High Returning to Charlotte, the Orioles next met a powerful Everett eleven, undefeated in twenty games. On a rain-drenched field the Charlotte boys, sparked by the pile-driving Wellman, who scored all 14 points, upset the favored Southsiders 14 to 0. Great defensive play was shown by the Oriole line as they held their supposedly superior opponents on the one yard line earlier in the game. The Armistice-Day game found the Orioles pitted against a fast Eaton LEE WEXDEL—Basketball and baseball were Lee’s sports. He lias won three letters in each and was awarded the captaincy of the 41-42 capers. Lee also received honorable mention on the all-state basketbal team for three successive years. C. II. S.

He captained the cajrers as a junior and was jriven honorable mention on the all-state team two years in a row. He also was placed on the all-conference football eleven, and awarded honorable mention on the all-state fooball team. C. H. S.

He tookOver the regular catching job his first year out for baseball ami did a swell job. Rapids eleven whose season’s record was unimpressive. But after the first half, records were forgotten, because the Cardinals had outplayed the stronger Charlotte teum by far. The second half looked brighter for the Orioles when Wellman scored on a seven yard plunge and Clever added the extra point, but Eaton Rapids came back in the last five minutes to tie the score and hand Charlotte a moral defeat. Outstanding In the Charlotte line during the season were Ed” Simek. Lawrence Hall and Bruce Garling- house. Simek. one of the best tackles in the conference, rugged, fast and hard- driving. was the mainstay in the Oriole line. Hall also starred defensively and was awarded the captaincy of the team. Garlinghouse. besides playing an outstanding defensive game, stood out as a pass receiver as well. He and Terwilliger were selected as All- conference players. Thirty Victories19 The baseball, football, and bctfket- hall teams of 41-42 are really hanging up an Impressive record as far as wins and losses go. To date they have lost but one athletic contest, that being in footbjJl when Grand I edge nipped them 14-6. The grid- ders lost 6. lost 1. and tied 1. The eager» were the most successful as they won 16 straight liasketball games before being stopped by Marshall at Albion. But during the regular sea- son they had a record of 14 victories without a defeat, while the basela.ll team so far this season has whipped Howell twice. Everett. Grand Ledge, and Eaton Rapids once each to ride the top of the standings with 5 suc- cessive wins. If the Orioles can re- main undefeated in liaseU.ll they will have finished the year with a total of 30 victories and only one loss which Is a very impressive record. The seniors on the squad were: Bruce Garlinghouse and Jack Hicks, ends: Ed. Simek. and Don Grier tackles: l.awrence Hall and Harold Cherry, guards: Frank Elies, center; Melvin Shaver. Don Bottomley. Bur- leigh Wellman, and Wayne Terwilli- ger. backs. 1942 Football Standings W. L. T. Grand la?dge 4 0 1 Charlotte 3 1 1 Everett 2 2 1 Eaton Rapids 2 2 1 Howell 2 3 0 Mason 0 5 0 “Griers Grunts” Capture Intra-Mural Championship During the regular basketball Ma- son there are a few fellows with 1« » ability than the varsity, who like to play basketball, thus matting an intra mural basketball league. The teams are made up of a senior as captain who chooses the rest of hi team from other lx ys interested in playing. This year the league was made up of six teams, with Don Griers Grunts finishing at the top of the standings and Eldon Dymonds Dopes running u close second. The Grunts started the season in the hole as they forfeited the first game because of lack of players. This put the Dopes in first place, but al»er a hard-fought battle between the two teams, the Dopes” yielded leaving the “Grunts on top. This posi.ion was held until Willard Mlkesell. high- scoring man for Grier's team went to Florida. While he was gone the Grunts lost a close contest to Hulls' Hunks again putting Dymond in first place. I ater another thrilling game was played between the Dopes' and Grunts which decided the Intra- mural title. With Don Bottomley and Mlkesell leading the way the Grunts upset the Dopes to become Intra- mural champions for 1942. All the teams fought hard but some lacked the luck of others. The other teams were: Simek’s Saps. Shaver's Shrimps. Smith's Smurties. and Hall's Hunks.” The season was a successful one with many boys displaying their talents and enjoying the experience. Burleigh Wellman was the indi- vidual scoring star for the season. Thinclads Complete Another Track Season I'nder the able direction and coach- ing of Malcolm Gobel. the Oriole thin- clads began another season. With five lettermen returning and many unexperienced l»oys out the prospect for a successful season were not too bright. The lettermen who returned are as follows: Bruce Garlinghouse. Jumes Mathews. Elwood Martin. Jack Thornton, and Jack Clever. An injured leg caused Clever to miss the first two meets but Jack Thornton, the other high Jumper, has cleared 5'6” twice already and appears to be the added strength to replace Clever. In their first meet of the season the Orioles lost to Hastings 55% to 48 4- Mathews and Garlinghouse ac- counted for 13 points apiece while Wagner and Ix rd starred for the Saxons. East Utnsing's strong track squad handed Charlotte their second set- back by a one-sided score of 77 to 26%. In the next meet the Orioles scored their first victory by whipping Okemos 66 -3 to 37%. Mathews won the 100 yard daah. the 220 and the broad Jump besides running ns anchor man on the winning relay team. Pinning their hopes on Garlinghouse. J. Ili.-ks.
