Clink! Clink! This is the song of our “March of Dimes’ . One and all. who did so wisely buy one of those little orange and black activities tickets from one of the super-salesmen, will con- tribute his or her ten-cent piece to the ever mount- ing pile of dimes Thursday of every week. On this day a collector will pop into your second hour class-room and take up the collection. DON’T FORGET YOUR DIME. Remember this, the activities you will enjoy this coming year are depending on YOU. If you forget those pennies that were promised, if you turn the collector down, all will go under together. The school is count- ing on you. Keep those colors (lying. So don't be u forgetter. If your mind is bad tie a string around a finger, but don't forget what the string is for. Every Thursday is officially Dime Day’’. Don’t be a FORGETTER. don't be a QUITTER, be a BOOSTER. Where There's Smoke— There’s a (ire drill. When the (Ire bell rings, have you ever noticed the number of blank ex- pressions on the faces of your fellow students? Take for instance John, remember how he scrambled around trying to get all his books and supplies? Then after spending several minutes figuring out the instructions for the drill, he elbowed his way through the crowd at the door, somehow managing to drop his books so as to gel in everyone's way. After gathering the latest he rushed back to class to resume his studies. Are you this type of student? Is this the way you behave during a fire drill? If it is. then there's Just one thing wrong with your conduct. It’s not right! Know your instructions. It isn't too much to ask. After all. these same instructions are given (or your protection. Don't bother with books and supplies, l eave them behind; they only get in the way. Walk—do not run—as quickly and quietly as possible. Use your head, if an entrance is blocked find another one. Don’t get excited or panicky. It only makes matters worse. Why not make Uharlotte high school fire drills A-l ? Wee Wonders Don't You Remember? Dime Day!

Three Years Ago The Charlotte Oriole band took first division at the Holland Tulip Festival for the second conse- cutive year.-Eaton Rapids victorious over Char- lotte eleven” (good-bye.

What is It that cute red headed Dick” finds so Interesting fifth hour at table one? Could it be Joyce Wienman? Isn’t it a shame that Frances Merritt sits between “Rosy and Mike in. sixth hour journalism? She must get pretty tired of being the go-between. Just what does Betty Montgomery think of “Dick Beechler's Interests in the Stucky house- hold? Shame on Susie! What owner of a certain green model-T has taken a sudden liking to Margery Hamilton? How about it Russ ? Boy Scouts seem to be a mighty handy thing to have around when you get a flat tire. If you don't think so Just ask Dot Dean. What football player, whose nickname Is Mike , has an option on a cute little blond in the 9-A? Calvin Kellogg thinks the eleventh grade girls are a bit of all right . Especially Lucy Stoc king. What senior red headed girl blushes when the name of the class president is mentioned? It’s a strange thing. Why hasn't Jac k Hicks made any public appear- ances with Gwen ? Is he bashful? ’hat's this we hear? Its' been reputed that Dave Shaull is a determined woman-hater ”. How about it Petie ? This Year ? ? ? Erickson’s Veterinary Hospital Shelden Lumber Co.

Hailing originally from l ansing, Mr. Maner revealed that he is a product of Mic h- igan State College where he look up social studies including American government and history. When questioned about the school he replied. I like the school and the people very much. Blue is his favorite color while sweet potatoes and hatn rate tops on the menu. ’Til Reveille places second on his Hit Parade , his wife being number one— too bad. girls. Amid the confusion of room 206 us students were filing in. Keith King, husky agriculture teacher, was finally located. I am a Charlotte man by birth. he stated, adding that he liked the school very well. He too took up work at M. S. C.. filling the vacancy left by Mr. Wilford Rohlfs in the fields of agriculture and biology. Thanks a Million! Dear Fellow Students; I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of you who joined in an all out effort to sell activity tickets this year. This finance problem has always been a big headache to every mayor of the pust. Every council has been handicapped by the lack of money to promote activities for the student ! ody. But now. thanks to your co-operation, we can go through the school year with sufficient funds to make possible all the parties, clubs, dances, and assembly programs that are desired to make a successful school year. But remember that our Job is not done yet. we still have a lot to do to make the mixers a paying proposition, assemblies to click , and the school spirit sky high in our old Alma Mater. It is up to us to pay no heed to the fellow who sits back and says. It can't be done . In spite of some of those who said that we couldn't make $600 worth of ticket sales, we went them ono better by selling the top mark of better than $1.000 worth of tickets. That means that five hundred students purchased tickets. That’s the greatest gain since 1928 when the plan was first started in the form of the old “Nickel-A-Week . We certain- ly should be proud of our record. In closing I want to again thank you In behalf of the student council for your generous assistance In making the drive the success that it was.

Charlotte Oriole turned back Coldwater high school 20-7 at the new ftlbU'th field, Friday evening. Septem- ber t6. The Orioles started the scoring in the second quarter, when after a aeries of running plays. Terwllllger, aided by beuuiiul bloeklng. broke loose for a 35 yard touchdown run. The try for the extru point failed. Both! teams threatened but the half ended with Charlotte leading 6-0. The second half opened with the Orioles kicking off Coldwater receiv- fd and after failing to gain, punted to the Orange and Black forty. On the first down Terwllllger sneaked through tackle, reversed his field and with effective blocking raced 60 yards for the second Oriole score. Clever kicked the extra point. Coldwater' lone marker came in the final period when Wagar. Cardinal halfback, shook off three tacalers and stepped down the sidelines, twenty yarns for a touchdown. The try for Mi. r t a point was good. Late in the fourth quarter, trying desperately to tie the score, a pass from Wagar was blocked by Hicks and Intercepted by Thornton, who stepped into the end zone for the final c re. Clever converting, with the gain ' end ing 20-7 in favor of Char- loile. The game wa marred by several long penalties.

Over half of the 3.82S Kellogg books have already arrived. was the statement made by Mrs. Anna Morey, office secretary. The Referee From under the pile crawls one lone man. His white shirt black, uud his face real tan. His whistle half swallowed, his shins black and blue. Where the ball was hidden he had not a clue. He unpiled the players, and there lay the ball. Took a step back and let out the call, First and ten for the white, going that way, Then he blew his whistle and called it a day. He picked up his Jacket all tattered and torn. Sat down on the bench, his face so forlorn. Raised his thick eyebrows and said quietly. Oh for the Job of a referee.” Wayne Terwllllger Lansing Central Defeats C. H. S. Cross Country The Oriole harriers began their cross country season last Tuesday. September 23. by losing to Lansing Central. 29-26.

Sevener and Sevener School Lunch Pigskin Parade Have you noticed the place kicks' I of Ju k Olerer? Daring the first twoi i games he has been successful in boot- ! ! ing four extra points. (Not bad). C.H.S. The Charlotte line averages 163' pounds and the backfield 140. This rorms a rather light but well balanced team. C.H.S. What three backfield members of the Oriole team missed Coldwater's! Wagar on his touchdown run Friday? C.H.S. Maybe you haven't noticed, but I sensational blocking by the Oriole learn has made possible several long runs. Watch for It in the next game. C.H.S. One of the best defensive players on the team this year is Melvin Shaver, blocking back. Melvin is sure to see plenty of action this sea- son providing a bruised knee doesn't stop him. C.H.S. The Coldwater game turned into a rough battle in the final period of play. Jack Hicks and a Cardinal line- man yelled fierce words to each others ' face, while many other verbal argu- ments were carried on. C.H.S. Churlotte's pass defense which was considerably weak in the Lakevlew game, showed much improvement in the Coldwater battle, but is still far from perfect.
