The Cfiarfiian fffiTURE PAGE It's The Little Things That Count Life is a panorama of huge things. From these huge tasks depends our success or failure in any chosen field. Perhaps you are going to be a doc- tor: the boy next to you. a lawyer. Maybe the girl intends to be a secretary, a housewife or a stage actress. In another sense, you may be un- decided as to what career to follow. There may be dozens of occupations running through your mind every minute and yet you are oblivious to them, leaving chance to be the deciding factor. In any case whatever you choose, it means gjod. honest hard work. Yes. after graduation there are many big ob- stacles to face: but let's skip over them and face the smuller ones, for after all they too count. As an example there are memories, some good ones, a few otherwise. We're glad to have these mem- ories for no happy person lives that has not some tucked back, where he can easily put his finger n them. Remember your first day at high school? How frightened you were of all the rooms and of all the bigger students? You were mixed up those first few weeks but when you asked for help you always got it. Maybe you coulin't unlock your locker, you didn't understand what pink and blue slips meant nor could you remember where you sat during an assembly. Yet in a few weeks you were smiling at the world; your schedule was mov- ing smoothly: and to top it off. you were on the nonor roll for the first marking period. That made you feel you’d accomplished something as well as being a regular veteran of the place, now. The next fall you catne back and for two more falls you returned again, these times feeling sure of your self. These times it was you who were helping the newcomers and it gave you a feeling of being in their shoes a few years back. You have the memories of school pals, of dances, of harmless escapades. They mean a lot to you now. You can look back now when things aren't so bright, and smile at the way you faced those old troubles and maybe the present ones won't seem to be so tough. Those little things aren’t over yet. though. There are hundreds and hundreds of them ahead of you. Just waiting for you to meet them. In your fight for the big things, don’t forget them. For they too. can either make or break your chances for success. C is for the color scheme, not suggested by some Jerk”. H is for the happy hours and also means hard work. A is for another year which means another book. R is for those raptured hours when you'll just sit and look. H is for hilarious times, recorded here about. I is for your innocence, which sometimes parents doubt. A is for attractive book— never will Ik tainted. N now stands for never more— your editor has fainted! To Zella Halifax, a package of typing paper and an eraser. To Frances Wildern. a box of crayons and twelve sheets of drawing paper. To Theo Isham. a letter to the Government ask- ing for a furlough for her one and only . To Marie Taylor, u rubber band so that she too may shoot paper wads. To Keith King, a box of rich black dirt and one old cow so that he can become a better farmer. To Leora Weymouth, four new bootleg” tires. To Allan Murray, a pen and one bottle of black Ink. To Mattie Fisher, a gold star. Her pleasing smile rates one. To Richard Hilhie. a new car and a c gasoline card. To Millicent Brown, our best wishes, hoping she has enjoyed C.H.S. as much as we. also our apolo- gies for being the rudest seniors. Lastly, we make, constitute, and appoint Harlan McCall and Ward Hynes of Charlotte. Michigan, to be executors of this, our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by us. In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto sub- scribed our name and affixed our seal, the 2nd day ot June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-three. Class of 1943.
