The Charhian fERIURE PAGE Country Club Is Scene Of Festive Occasion C.H.S. Alumni Meet To Ialk Over School Days June 3. 1960 Yesterday I ventured far from the' bright lights of Broadway to partici- pate in one of the most brilliant tirst nights” of my career as theatre critic for the New York Herald-American. j I flew to the small mid-western town of Charlotte. Michigan, where former classmates of mine, graduates from Charlotte high school in 1943. were having a gala time at the Country Club. Jerry Sherman and his orchestra were present, playing all the latest tunes. This Sherman lad has pro- gressed far since he l egan studying music. Richard Davis, ambassador to Russia, and Jerry had a tine time chatting al out old times. Clare Ash. the famous professor of Greek history at Vassar. and Francis Jane, editor of “Monthly Magazine compared notes on the vital world problem Can Rublier Be Made From Bubble Gum? Not until Helen Cooper, research expert in Washing- ton gave her views, could a decision lie reached. Mrs. Don Taylor, the former Esther Grove, graciously chew- ed a package and answered with a definite “No!” To date the above group is still chewing, the possible solution far from evident. Having just returned from abroad. Bertha Brugh. noted artist, gave val- uable pointers to Frances Steward, also in the profession. Besides bring- ing back art suggestions. Bertha re- turned with a husband. Count Fredric III of France. I wonder which point- ers interested Frances most, the art or the matrimonial? On the golf course I found Jack Clever and Howard Moore, both noted sportsmen, engaged in a heated match. Charming Mrs. Clever, the former trapeze artist, Charlene Day. was busily cheering her husband on. Needless to say, the young Clever offspring gave little trouble. He was sleeping quietly in his cab. At the time I left. Howard was the winner by a large margin and I’m afraid Charlene and Junior had lost all con- fidence. Joyce Weinman, noted stage actress now starred in Lady of I ansing. was trying to convince Martha Monroe that acting is really easy, once you star in the right play. Martha had just won the Academy Award for Hollywood’s best character actress. Joyce made the trip down with me and reminded ye scrivener that our plane left at nine that evening. Inside a “temperance booth on the field I found Sarah Swift and Doris Moon selling milk. Russell Martin, dressed in overalls and hip lioots. proudly reminded me that the milk came from his cows. He owns a farm just east of the city. It seems he has lieen having trouble with Anne Greg- arek lately. Her goat farm borders his dairy farm and her livestock had completely eaten Russ’s wheat crop. Through the efforts of Loren Wilmore and Robert Sanders, fellow farmers, the argument was settled. Anne now raises skunks. She says the odor is most effective when you mix it with Chanel No. 5. Shirley Mate, second woman Presi- dent of the United States, arrived at noon. Her armored car was ably driven by Harry Stucky. He found out that the West wasn’t what it was cracked up to lie and in desperation accepted this job from Madam Presi- dent. Harry stated that in a letter recently received from Kenny Wood- dell he learned that the former high school mayor had married Shirley Temple in California and that they now had a large family. Madam President was well guarded with Fay Upright. Benson Sampson. Ia o Mar- isch. James Wilson and Harley Ben- nett. each carrying two loaded re- volvers. Three mothers, Beatrice Clark, Shir- ley Beals, and Mary Hall, were eager- ly discussing what children «if today should eat. Bruce Farr, head chef at Hotel Lincoln in Chicago offered a few suggestions. George Wildern. owner of “Wimpy Wildern’s Wayside Inn , agreed to send the three ladies his own special recipe for super-duper hamburgs. Celia Mae Tharp, the famous woman swimming champion, was showing Belle Jane Willett some of the latest dives when her suit split. You can imagine her embarrassment. Hers wasn't the only face turned crimson, for Dave Shaull. owner of “Stretchy Swim Suits. Inc. was far from being pale. He not only had sold Celia that suit: but twenty dozen ot the same. Merle Moore famous woman lawyer, was gleaning all the tacts from the case, in the hope of an early trial. Two sets of “old married couples.” Mr. and Mrs. Leon Wood, (she was formerly Audrey Parr) and Mr. and Mrs. Philip Snyder, (she was Jeanette Gardner, the great snake charmer with Kingling Bros. Circus) sat on the veranda talking of the good old days. Betty Jeanne Payne casually walked over and announced her mar- riage to Donald Shaw, local oil mag- nate. It seems their romance started in a Port of Ixmely Hearts Club. Betty made the comment that Don cculd pitch woo better than Clark Gable used to. They make a happy looking pair! Meeting again for the first time in seven years was something of a special occasion for Mary Schwartz, originator of all the latest Paris cre- ations and Esther Bradley, exclusive American designer for Jerrold’s. Mary was working on a new style of Paired pants for men. Charles Gordon, gasoline attendant, being the only male in reach, was more than willing tc model. While he was parading the creation. Roliert Llpsey. Wayne Pifer and Edgar Rambeau. local Char- lotte wolves. propose«l to him twenty times. Charles is now looking for a skirt and wig. thinking that being a woman is easier than filling gas tanks. Jack Snow, principal of Charlotte high school, sat in a corner playing with a Yo-Yo.' He said it was the same one he played with in “Funza- poppin” and he had become so attach- ed to it. he could never throw it away. Jean Den Herder and Mildred Skinner, heads of the Charlotte In- sane Institute' were eagerly awaiting their chance to overpower Jack so they could remove him to their in- stitution. Mildred was sure Jack had no brains and hoped to experiment by placing brains in his head. Any- one have any spare brains to lend Jack? Who knows, maylie he does need them worse than you! Bud Stelnman. photographer for “Zip Magazine” was having a fine time photographing Gerry Niccum. the famous Hollywood star. Her latest movies include. To Marry With Hate”, Candle Flame” and “Boogie Woogie Waac”. Gerry model- ed everything from a swim suit to a formal and Bud was really In a camera-man’s heaven, but that was before Jack Thornton, producer for Empire Productions came along. Im- mediately he stopped the procedure and gave Gerry a fatherly talk on what really great stars should do; when out in public. I'm afraid Miss Niccum wasn’t convinced, because just as I was leaving, she and Lucy Stocking, the rublier lady in Cole Bros. Circus, were twisting in some of the most fantistic positions ever witnessed. Watch for a picture of them in an early issue of the maga j zine mentioned above, for unknown to Mr. Thornton. Bud Stelnman snap- I ped a picture on the sly. Oh. it’s a gieat life these movies stars lead! Feeling a bit thirsty. I entered the cocktail lounge and there Ralph Shaver, the explorer just returned from what was once Germany, was telling of his daring exploits among the uncivilized of that country. Vir- ginia Spagnuolo. so impressed by his weird tales, accidentally drank a “Mickey Finn. Doctor Wayne Parr was hastily called and. after examin- ing Virginia, said she would recover in a few hours. This was really a shock to the brave Mr. Shaver and so he decided to leave the group to rest for a few hours also. Quite unsuspiciously he left the room, a liottle of vitamin pills in one hand and a box of aspirin in the other. Rounding up her group of reformed children kept Doris Wehr quite busy throughout the day. However she found time to have a short conversa- tion with Marvel Robins and Virginia Nisse on the care and upbringing of children. Marjorie Salterlee. dean of women at Columbia university, offer- ed to «end Doris a pamphlet just writ- ten by the well known child problem ! expert. George Willard. George seems quite qualified to write such an arti- cle. having seven children of his own. Dorothy Rogers, local undertaker, was explaining her easy comfort plan to Betty Tomlinson when an automobile accident occurred near by. Quickly Dorothy ran to the scene, eagerly hoping to find a victim. She found Dorothy Dean, only a hit frightened, standing by her wrecked machine yelling for the other driver o get out of her car. Quite slowly Ersa Brown climbed from the wreck- age. Both being former classmates and old friends, the incident was im- mediately forgotten. Having to do something. Miss Rogers phoned the local Junk dealer. June Little, and the wreckage was soon cleared away. During dinner in the evening. Flor- ence White, senator from Michigan, gave a short talk on old times. Her reminiscences really affected Donis Newth. who was so overcome by it all. she could not hold liack her tears. Duane Nieol. handkerchief manu- facturer. gave her six dozen hankies before sentimental Miss Newth could continue her dinner. Marilyn John- son was telling Barton Howe and Jack Goldman of her latest trip to Spain. The boys were quite im- pressed by her description of the lovely senoritas. Jack rushed home to pack and was immediately on his way! The1 «lay passed quickly and nine P. M. rolled around. Joyce and I boarded the plane at the airport and were soon started on our way to New York. For one day we had found time to leave our routine tasks to meet old friends again. It seemed sad that perhaps never again we would see some of them. However, it is true that all good things must come to an end. The sky was a blanket of stars and the plane sped on. far into the night. President’s Message We. the class of '43. with gradua- tion close at hand, now realize that it has come much too soon. Many pleasant experiences. and much knowledge, which will lie valuable to us in later life, have come our way. During the past four years, we have participated in the school activities, and have gained many friendships which we cherish. We have enjoyed sponsoring student mixers, parties, and dances. Many of us took part in the junior play and the journalism carnival. Much enjoyment was found in publishing the Orange and Black, and the Charhian for 1943. We wish to thank our advisers. Mrs. Marena Kiplinger. Mr. Wallace Maner. an«l Mr. Keith King, and all of the teachers, who. through their co-operation and understanding, help- ed us to achieve this goal. Now as we pass through the doors of Charlotte high for the last time, we enter a troubled world. Many of us will enter some branch of the ser- vice. but whatever we do. I am sure that we will put forth the effort to do our liest. DUANE NICOL. Pr«?si«lent of Class of '43.

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.

The Charhian Juniors Memories ★ s. xi year these Juniors will be sen- „,i and will have started on the end of th lr Journey toward graduation. The cluas has been most successful all through junior and senior high school. In the seventh grade the class chose th motto. We do our best. which fit» the class very well, as they have u. lively and steadily been doiug their best. While touching the eighth grade mark, the class sold candy during noon hours to help defray expenses for their class pictures and annual picnic. They also held two Junior high parties and one get-acquainted party. Entering the freshmen class in the fall of 1940. with Mr. Kenneth Brown. Mr. Richard Bilbie and Mrs. Frances Wlldern as advisers, the class was ever striving to live up to its motto. Officers were elected as follows: Bob Orr. president: Betty Lou Squibb, vice- president; Shirley Mate, secretary; Dorothy Middaugh. treasurer. Student council representatives were Mary King. Neil Roberts. Russell DeLand. and Bob Paton. The ninth graders played an important part in the field of sports, in the bands, and other ac- tivities. In the sophomore year the class elected Maxon Wehr. president; Bob Orr. vice-president; Mary Jane Spag- nuolo. secretary; and Anna Mae Roy- ston. treasurer. The student council representatives were Maxon Wehr and Neil Cochran. Now that the juniors have come suc- cessfully through this year they are ready to face the tasks of being seniors next year. Much luck to them! Climbing ★ These Juniors are next year’s sen- iors and this class of '44 has started out in a Idg way. If they continue to be as successful next year as they have this, the records will reveal a most ambitious graduating class. The class topped the magazine sales record with six hundred dollars. They also sponsored dances after football and basketball games. A Murder Has Been Arranged. a three-act murder mystery, and a Sam-1 uel French production, was the annual junior play. It was presented on De- cemIter IS. in the high school auditor- ium. under the direction of Mr. West T. Hill. The play was a great success with excellent acting on the part of every character. The cast of the play was as follows: Miss Grove ...............Mary King Cavendish .............Neil Roberts Mrs. Wragg ............Esther Jones Mrs. Arthur........Betty Lou Squibb Jinuny North ...........Arthur Steward Sir Charles Jasper ....Russell DeLand Beatrice Jasper .....Lucille LaPoint Maurice Mullins .....Richard Sleater A Woman ............Mary Ellen Baker To top off a most successful year, the juniors sponsored the annual jun ior-senior prom. tt t rir T tCt fttr r6 ttt i r r r r T r rti i : r r i r r r T T rCrte r r t lr rCrCrCrCr r-CT-Ct r-CrCrCt-CrCr-ir-CT-Cr-C!
