Oct. 10. The Orioles found the golnng tough w Grand Ledge scored midway in the opening period and again late in th fluat quarter. The Orioles had an op- portunity to tie the score early In the fourth quarter when a pass from Matthews to Terwllliger netted 36 yard and gave Coach Gobel's eleven their only score of the evening, but Clever's try for the extra point failed. Charles Iinhoff. Grand Ledge back, played an outstanding game for th Comet , while Lawrence Hall stood out for the Orioles. Garllngbouse LE B Carter Slmek LT Green Willard LG Clark Clever C E.

When Bruce does fumble on las down. The coach on his head does wear a frown. Who missed that pass and gosh oh gee. Why did Hicks go and bruise hi knee. Another penalty for swearing by Hall. A plunge by Don but no gain at all This Is what the coach has to take. So don’t be a coach for goodnes sake. Wayne Terwllliger. Pigskin Parade The Orioles swamped Mason Fri- day. Oct. 3. by the score of 38-6. This and the Grand Ledge game were twc different stories. The Ledgers gath- ered 14 points while Charlotte had to be content with the measly six. C.H.S. George MacDonald of N’ewberrj started at right end for the Orioles In place of the injured Jack Hicks and played a fine defensive gume against the Comets. C.H.S. You don’t suppose the urge to prac tlce basketball is causing Bruce and Jack to complain about their bruises so as to be able to sneak Into the gym after the coach leaves do you? CHS. What four football boys clutter ur; McNamara's drug a-tore every nigh after practice. (No wonder “Lard DI getting fat.) C.H.S. The Orange k Black forces meet Howell this Friday, the team tha scored twenty points In 10 minute- against Baton Rapids, so be there to j boost the team. C.H.S. Charlotte didn’t get all the break in the Grand Ledge game, not by x long sight. A blocked k'.ck. a fumble, •and u punt that bounced off from 'Mike’’ Mathews head helped con- siderably in the Ledgers victory. Pop—It’s time for that young man to go home.

Just as your latest heart- throb” strolled up to you today and popped the question of usking you to the latest swing dance, a condemning letter arrived announcing the visit of your dear, sweet cousin whom you decidedly despise. Mother insists that yon provide a date for cousin Mary. What can you do. none of the gang would consider going out with her. Then with the flash of the brain, the thought struck you. George would do it! Sure, good old George will be just the one to do It. He Is a good sport and will do anything asked of him. Another question arises; who shall be appointed to assist in cleaning up the mess after th' prom dance? Nobody wants the job. no thrill, no recog- nition. no praise goes to one who does the dirty work.” Oh! but George will do it He always is willing to do the jobs no one else will accept. The assemblies are rotten, the plays are dry. the songs and music flat. We never have any good assemblies.” That speaker was the biggest bore ever. How many times have you heard students make these remarks? But those same students when asked to do some part of the program flatly refuse to have anything to do with it. No. but they are willing to let George do it, to laugh at him. because he was willing, at least, to do his part to the best of his ability. What do you say? Let us give this boy the breaks. Pass on a word of encouragement and praise to him. After all. he has played the part of the goat” for so long he has become almost taken for granted. In order to appreciate the people who have done these underestimated jobs, why not get in there with them and help them with the struggle. Digging in and working at some Job will give to you a greater interest in the little things, make you proud of our town, school, and community. Here's good-bye to letting George do it und welcome to you putting in your little bit!” In The Limelight Upon interviewing our new manual arts teacher. Mr. Allun Murray, it was revealed that this is his fourteenth year of teaching. He Is a graduate of Stout University and the University of Wisconsin. His home towu” is Pepin. Wisconsin, and basket- ball is his favorite sport. At this point in our Interview we were interrupted by a very charming and attractive lady, no introduction was necessary to discover that it was none other than Mrs. Murray, who. upon the question of h‘s favorite food Immediately exclaimed, a thick Juicy steak was tops on his menu. Miss Zella Hallifax, our new typing and short- hand teacher, came here from Mendon high school. This is her ninth year of teaching since she grad- uated from South Western State Teachers' College In Oklahoma. Her “home town” is Dewitt. Her favorite pastimes are hunting and Ashing. Miss Hallifax is the adviser of the Speedwriters club and one of the advisers of the sophomore class. Incl- dently she writes let handed and talks with a southern accent. Traveling up to room 305 we find busily seated at her desk. Miss Betty Tuttle, still another Mich- igan State fan.” Royal Oak Is her home-town” but French. Spanish, and Latin are three good reasons why she spends a great deal of time in Charlotte. Bowling and golf are her favorite past- times. She prefers South American music. Red Is the color most appealing to her eye and she considers rice with brown sugar to be a most delectable dish. ORANGE A BLACK The Teacher He sits at his desk from morning till night, watching and waiting to stop someone fight. He listens to answers he's Heard ten times o'er, and gives out assignments that Alls one with horror. He has his pets that he pampers with ease, and lets them do as they darn well please. He’s filled with theories from his heels to his toes, and thinks we should read only literary prose. He says we're all fools and numbskulls and such, and tells all our friends we don't know very much. He sits home at night with his kids and his wife, still preaching as usual, his philosophy of life. At school in the morning his face smiling bright, he passes out paper and tells us to write. We. demanding our rights protest with a roar, but he puts up his hand to even the score. We swallow our grief and resort to our fate, doing a test which Is one thing we hate. As we look at the gray haired intelligent fool, we wonder If he remembers when he was in school.

LUMBER. BUILDER'S SUPPLIES PAINTS - FUEL Take Heed! Girls! girls! and more girls! You can’t get along with them, nor can you get along without them. Whut is there about girls thut attracts the boys? Is It looks, form. size, clothes, personality, ability, politeness, or what? Perhaps none of these ure what you like in u girl, perhaps its all of them. At uny rate my opinion of an Ideal Girl” is one that is polite, has a good personality, neatness of dress, attractive smile, and is a faithful friend to all. A girl should have most of these qualities to catch the eye of the fellow students. Boys admire girls wljo do not drink or smoke. Drinking and smoking is even worse for girls than It Is for boy«. Good habits can be mastered as well as bad habits if the effort is put forth. So. girls! take heed. Boys are just as particular about the qualities of a girl, as the girl is of the boy’s qualities. An ideal boy! What Is he like? Is he like Tyrone Power. Clnrk Gable. Spencer Tracy, or Don Ameche? Your Idea may be a movie star, but mine isn't. He must be well-munnered at all times whether at Jay's Hamburger spot or at a dinner at the White House. He must be a snappy” dresser and be able to stamp a mean foot on a dance floor. with a sense of humor knowing when to laugh and when not to. One who shows courtesy and sincerity at all times. Also who show's an interest In sports und loyalty to his school. I,ast but not least. Intelligent. This gives you an idea what to look for the next time you go looking around for a new friend. Of course don’t expect to find all these qualities in one certain pal or you may be disappointed. After all no one whether he goes to Charlotte nigh school or not is perfect! Yow Quess 1.
