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.

This « is always an exciting time for every student in Charlotte high. £ Did you ever stop to realize J that this year Charlotte could J defeat Platon Rapids? A couple of weeks ago when the Orioles I played Grand I edge to a score- ; less tie. everybody went home J in good spirits: however, the J next day when people thought £ of the Eaton Rapids game their hearts sank. They didn't have J « any fighting spirit, none of that spirit It takes to win games. 4 which we are slated to lose. J This year it can be different. J We could win the little brown J jug if everybody will put forth a little extra spirit. Also this year, as it hasn't been for a couple of years, we are having a bonfire the night before the Eaton Rapids game. • Let’s make it a big success— J « everybody yell—everybody sing —everybody be happy — and « we’ll all share in a victory.
