ORANGE A BLACK Page 3 Grand Ledge, Orioles Fight to 0-0 Tie Charlotte fought to a hitter (M) dead lock on Friday. October 9. with an over rated Grand I edge team. Al- though Grand («edge was deep In Oriole territory many times, they lack- ed that scoring punch as did Char- lotte The first quarter was uneventful because the teams seemed to he searching for each other's weakeness es The plays were all straight run- ning plays which didn't net much yardage for either team. In the sec- ond quarter through an exchange of kicks the Comets were on their own 30 yard line. Then they uncorked a pass which netted them 58 yards and almost a touchdown, hadn't Snyder made a spectacular tackle of McDan- iels. the receiver, on the Oriole ten. Grand Ledge then tried a series of plunges which failed on their last down They were on Charlotte's one foot line at the same second the half gun sounded and so ended the Comet's only serious scoring threat. The third period was a sprinting duel between Carrow and Clever in which Carrow had some very lucky punts landing inside Charlotte's ten. In the fourth quarter both teams start- ed trying the aerial route, hut neither team seemed able to click so the game closed in the deadlock score of 0-0. The starting lineup was: Chevrie LE Radee Smith LT Thornton Shone LG Willard Reed C (C.) Clever Clark RG Wllmore Kane RT Wood Simons RE Gordon Carrow QB Nicol Bouck LH Mathews McDaniels (C.) RH Snyder Gates FH MacDonald Hastings’ Eleven Trounces Orioles Playing on a wet field the Charlotte Orioles took their second defeat of the ' year at the hands of a strong Hast- | ings team. Hastings made the opening kick off with Mathews running the ball i hack to the Hastings’ 15 yard line. Al- ; though Mike went all the way over the goal line, officials ruled he stepped j out on the 15 . In a series of plunges Charlotte made the 5 yard marker for a first down, hut was unable to smash over the line. Hastings punted to the 37 yard line where the hall was downed. MacDon- ald and Mathews succeeded in smash Ing to a first down. Two passes were Iried. one succeeding, but not enough yards were gained. Hastings smashed thru to a first down, then punted on the third to our .1 yard line. With a combination of Mathews' running and MacDonald's plunging, the Orioles gathered plenty of yard- age. hut a pass was intercepted on the first down. Wilcox of Hastings opened a spec- tacular barrage of running in the sec- ond quarter to smash over for a touch ERICKSON Veterinary Hospital ★ ★ ★ RCSEACRE HCWfRS down. The try for the point was good. Mathews was downed on our 18 on the kickoff. With a pass failing on the first. MacDonald, with good block- ing plunged for a gain. However. Char- lotte had to punt. The Charlotte grid- j ders smeared the Hastings' man be- fore he got started with the ball. Hastings made some important yardage but was stopped Just before | the half. Charlotte kicked off with Hastings returning the ball to the 30. Wilcox again started clicking and went over for the second touchdown. The extra point was good.

With Victory their business, children from kindergarten to seniors brought in scrap in every way possible. A few of the strange sights seen were old vacuum sweepers being noisily pushed down the sidewalk, great teams puffing toward the junk pile with a heaping load of scrap, doll buggies carefully steered by their mistresses, trailer loads of metal coming in from every direction, small boys pushing big junk cars, and all sorts of methods rolling the scrap towards the growing pile. Although there was much absence from school, the students wasted no time during this mighty drive. It wasn’t just the emotion of being out of school, because it took no persuasion for the stu- dents to get in the mood of picking up any piece of scrap lying around. Very few if any sat back and let their neighbor do all the work. They certainly showed a remark»))!? sense of patriotism. Teachers also co-operated by giving excused passes to any student who could go out and gath- er scrap. Through the rain and mud the scrap kept piling up toward a high goal. The students weren't trying to capture the generous prizes given, nor were they seeking fame from their fellow students. They were working for Victory! They were helping to keep our freedom which has been threatened by deadly foes. Every person felt that it was his chance for a slap at the Japs and the other threatening powers, and if other schools co-operate as well as did the ones in Charlotte, the bad men from across will get more than a gentle tap. This drive is now over, but the war is still on. Putting as much pep into buying war savings stamps and bonds will help to make the day of Victory a little nearer. Guess Who— 1.

He may walk through the corn fields, woods or cemeteries and breathe very easily, of the brisk fall air. His footsteps may flow through the brown and gold waves of leaves, and still he may have no fears. He may continue with his walk noticing every little beauty of the season, the corn shocks and pumpkins, the turning leaves, the knotty trees, the bright sun glowing on the tomb stones, the stones glistening like silver in the sunshine, and even the way the gate sways in the wind. All of this makes for a perfect day and these beauties of au- tumn seem never to change. But then comes the evening of this October 31st, and with it comes an atmosphere which sur- rounds all those beauties with mysterious shadows. Your walk now seems slightly different: the breezes are a little chilly: the leaves seem to creak under your weight: the pumpkins and corn shocks are sil- houetted against the clear sky. The sun is now a full moon and among those tomb stones that seem- ed so natural to you before, you seem to see faint white figures fleeing after each other. That gate of this morning is still swinging, but for some reason it seems now to be giving out weird noises that you hadn’t heard before. Then all of a sudden comes another change, something you didn’t see earlier in the day. What is it? You hear the cracking of twigs coming closer and closer. A warm breath seems as though it were directly upon you. then the climaxing “M-o-o-o . After you have collected your thoughts, you realize that it is only a stray cow. This also makes you awaken from your world of fantasy and realize too, that those ghosts, noises and reflections are all part of a Hallowe'en air, part of all that which seems so silly in the sunshine and oh. so gruesome in the moon light. Absent Without Leave! A certain freshman has broken nil records for absences, with a total of seven headaches, one toothache, and one day aside for hunting. Just stop and think what our school would be like if every student out of the 415 enrolled in the senior high, were absent as much as this freshman, and think of what a job it would be for the prin- cipal and teachers to keep track of everyone under such conditions. It is very essential for every student to attend school every day. because we have a job to do. the same as the boys in our armed forces. It means the same to the high school student to attend school and get everything possible out of the time he spends in improving himself, as it does to the boy in camp improving himself for letter fighting. If a student is continually absent from school, it isn’t difficult only for the teachers, but also for the student, because all of the work missed has to be made up before receiving credit. As a result of a number of absences in a row. the student is handi- capped by work not made up. which may lead to a failure of a subject or grade, and this is a waste of valuable time. So let us all try to get in as many working hours as possible. Sdeal Sfigh Sc 100 Sir Hair .............................

Connie Beebe continuously staring into Jack Thornton’s eyes. Only small crowds at the football games. Where’s our school spirit? Everything from a tin can to a jalopy in a scrap pile behind the school building. Automobiles chucked full of rural students at noon hour. Scrap To Be Or Not To Be The other day some of our dignified senior boys : decided to go scrap hunting. They found a piece of scrap, too; at least that’s what they thought, and dutifully hauled it back to the scrap pile with Russ Martin’s '35 Ford. Later, finding it was not so much junk as had been supposed, they were forced to retrace their steps, dragging their prize piece i after them. Mrs. Kiplinger was sorry too. because her room lost so many pounds. It was too bad! One student decided her father's stove grates were of no further use so used them to increase her poundage. letter her father came, looking for his precious stove grates. Wonder if he found them? Somehow, someway, a wheel from the scrap weighing scales came up missing. A wheel, that happened to fit, was salvaged from the scrap pile, however, so everything turned out O.K. Does any- one know what happened to the original wheel? Guess we didn’t do so bad after all. We atart- ed scrap business with one pair of scales and ended with three pairs that were kept busy all day long. Really, it was fun though, wasn't It?
