Gather all your friends together And plan to be there that day. This is an early reminder; Be on hand at our own private war . With our excellent morale behind them. Can’t you see that remarkable score? —Bernard Collins. All Out For War? The war effort is a problem dealt with ser- iously by everyone, and Charlotte high school is no exception. We. the students, are doing a bigger and better Job than ever before, but the question is. “Are we doing enough?” In answer to this you doubtless will say that you are buying defense stamps and will soon have another bond. But again. Is this enough? How many of us have driven our cars at noon when a walk would have saved the nation's gas and the tires on our cars? How many of us also have forced ourselves to forget about that scrap in the garage or attic, that scrap which would, if put to proper use help to build tanks, ships, or planes? Yes. let us ask ourselves these questions and then with a clear conscience try to say that we are doing everything we can toward this great national project, defense. Stamps and bonds are being sold through every possible source. Anywhere can be found scrap depots, paper drives, metal salvage campaigns, and voluntary classes in Red Cross work, air raid warden training or auxiliary police practice. With war at our front door, how can we forget for even a moment that each one of us has a job to do? This is war, a fight for freedom, a fight for the rights we received on a silver platter. Now we are being asked to help preserve that privilege so that our children will enjoy what we. as the adolescents of today, are possessing. We are only now realizing the values of freedom and the secur- ity of a self government. Is it worth fighting for? Of course it is! Every part of the United States is a sacred tradi- tion to each of us. and we cherish it for its nobility and courage. Every Wednesday we shall be asked to buy a share in America. Can we find it within our- selves to refuse a course which so greatly needs our one hundred per cent support? I t us give ( everything we can. and our every effort. Uncle Sam will receive gratefully, and even more eagerly do his best to use our strength to preserve what everyone wants—FREEDOM. Senior Library The books in the senior library are to be used for educational purposes and if all students remem- ber this and use them properly, they will last for years to come. Being the most useful place in high school, the library should be frequently vis- ited. Last year Charlotte high school received many new books from the Kellogg Foundation, which were catalogued before being displayed. The following procedure is used in checking out books. In the first place, if you don't know w'here a certain type of book is that you want, you should ask the librarian. It is his duty to help you find the books you want. You must never check out a book by yourself. If you have found a book you want, take it to the librarian at the desk and he will sign it out in your name. If you have used a book for the hour and you don’t Just know where it belongs, take It to the librarian and he will put it back. There will be a better library if every student will feel responsible for the condition of the books and magazines. So be sure that each one is returned to its proper place when you have finished using it.

Wilcox-Gay Corporation MANUFACTURERS OF NATIONALLY FAMOUS “REC0RDI0” tPersona ity Paragraphs When I asked Duane Nicol if I might inter- view him. the reply was. Sure. and he gave me one of those questioning smiles. Football is nat- urally his favorite sport and algebra his favorite study. On the question of food he replied. Scal- loped potatoes hit the spot.” Hedy I aMarr rales high on his movie star list. When asked his opinion of girls. Duane shyly stated. They're all right.—some times. This handsome curly-headed sophomore was finally cornered on his way out for football. It seems as if Mary Lou is sort of playing second fiddle. Could it be that he has other interests? Mae West is his favorite actress. Woodshop rates first among his subjects. Yard Bird Shuffle is one of his well-liked pieces. Perhaps you have guessed who this popular sophomore is—none other than Dick Schneckenberger. Girls have you noticed a newcomer from Oli- vet? Harold Loucks is his name, and don't you envy his wavy pompadour? Don’t let it thrill you though. He has a girl in Olivet. Do you know a certain senior boy often seen with Eugene Royston? We believe the lad knows a good deal, but he seems to keep It to himself. He is usually wearing an F. F. A. sweater. He says the girls are pretty bad. When asked about his pastime, his face brightened and the reply was. I work at Jay's . He plays a bass horn In the band and just loves to argue with Mr. Maner in third hour government class. Yes. you guessed his name. Wayne Parr. SPeme nher 'll)hen-- Most of the senior boys had mustaches? Kenny Wooddell was a carefree lad? Chuck Gordon repeated an introduction?

OCTOBER 8. 1942 ISSUE 1 Goal For Activity Ticket Sales Still Unreached The goal set for the sale of activity tickets is still unreached by more than one hundred tickets. According to last year’s record, five hundred w’ere sold. As yet there have been only three hundred and ninety tickets sold this year. This is sixty-five per cent of the school, in comparison to ninety percent of the high school students who bought tickets last year. Mrs. Lipsey's bookkeeping class has the highest percentage in the school, which is one hundred, followed closely by Mr. Maner's government class, with ninety percent of the students pur- chasing tickets. The money taken in from the tickets is to pay for the lyceum numbers, athletic association, the Orange Black, and a certain percent of the money is set aside for the publication of the Charhian. The activity ticket permits the student to attend all football, basketball, base- ball games, and track meets. This ticket also permits each student to re- ceive every Issue of the Orange Black, and also a free Honor Banquet dinner, to those who are eligible. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★★ ★★ « His Honor Says: ♦ Thank you very much for the ♦co-operation you gave the finance committee in buying activity tic-J kets. The sales could have been £ larger, however, with gas ration-J lng coming on. it is easily under- ♦stood why some could not take advantage of the tickets. I should also like to thank the teachers for the time they spem? i in selling the tickets as it helped I Jthe finance committee greatly. ♦ Kenneth Wooddell. Mayor.

Frances Clark. Sally Hale. Dolores Michel and Mary Sand ers. The fooball team was escorted by the band down to the field at the Lake Odessa game. but. because of rain, the band did not perform in the half. New Superintendent Takes Over Duties Harlan R. McCall first came to Charlotte high school as a mathe- matics teacher in the fall of 1928. after receiving his B. A. degree from Albion the preceding spring. He was adviser to the Orange Black, which was then an extra-curricular activity. There was such an interest in the school paper, that in 1930 the first Charlotte high school journalism class was formed. He became prin- cipal in 1934 and superintendent of Charlotte schools this fall. When ask- ed if he liked his new job he said. This is quite different from the work I have done before, but I enjoy it very much. The war situation, however, is making school administration much different from what it has been in the past. One of the biggest problems we have is teacher shortage. Four- teen new teachers being hired in Charlotte is an example of what the . war is doing all over the United States . He continued. Charlotte has higher a turn-over than average. Thirty-six per cent new’ teachers have been hired here while only approxi- mately thirty per cent on the average have been hired all over the country. When further questioned he stated that he has done graduate work at Northwestern University and the University of Michigan. He received his M. A. degree from the U. of M. He has served as a Michigan Education- al Association delegate to the N.E.A. convention. He has also served as dis- trict delegate to the M.E.A. Mr. McCall married Marie Diehl in 1932. They have twro daughters. Con- , stance Louise, who is seven, and Mary I eona. who is four. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★a t C. H. S.

Meet the Ends CHARLES GORDON: This hand- some lad is 5’ 11”. has blue eyes and blonde hair. He thinks the team is swell, but It doesn't have much enthus- iasm. Maybe this is because there is so little school spirit. By the way— he eats wheaties! ERWIN RADEE. Erwin, a fresh- man. is 5’ 11” and weighs 160. He started practicing with the team, when he was in the eighth grade. He's good already: think what he’ll be when he’s a senior. GALE SHUMAKER: Another good man on our team is in his sophomore year, so we can plan on him for three years yet. One of the things he en- joys most is the excitement before a game with all his friends and school pals yelling for the team. Let's help him along with a little school spirit. DON TAYLOR: Don is about 6’ 2”. blonde, and has blue eyes. He thinks Betty Grable is tops in filmdom. He also thinks our football team is tops. Charlotte: Mohre. Radee. Sanders, Lipsey. Fuller.
