Mr. Gobel be- j gan to drill his football squad In order to prepare them for games against formidable opponents. Gobel’s ever fighting team has gone into defeat twice, tied once, and won four of th? seven games played. Mr. Gobel has been a member of the Charlotte faculty and coach of the basketball and football teams for seven years, this year being the eighth. He also has health classes and a geometry class. Even though Mr. Gobel shuns pub licity, it Is with great pride that Or- ange and Black salutes him for being the genial person he is. and for the many goals in which he has reached the top in achievement.

Charlotte Team Meet Islanders Will Play to Bitter End To Regain The Little Brown Jug After winning a 32-9 victory over the Everett Y’ikings. the Charlotte Or- ioles will meet the Eaton Rapids Is- landers in their rival tilt today. The game begins at 2:30 p. m. on the Charlotte athletic field. Both teams have had a good season and are drilling hard for the annual contest. The Charlotte reserves have improved considerably since the be- ginning of the year. Although the woolen mill city school has had possession of the little brown jug since the Armistice day battle in 1937. the Orange and Black squad have the determination and courage to fight to the bitter end. to bring the Jug back home. The Oriole team will be strongly supported by the student body and many enthusiastic fans from the city. With the victories of the last two games to their credit, the local lad3 have a hard hitting and fleet footed line which deserves lots of credit for their performance in the '42 gridiron season, whether they win or lose to- day. The starting lineup will undoubted ly be the same as in the last few games. Since this is the last game for the year, eleven of the boys who are seniors play their last game for Charlotte and end their high school football careers. They are the follow- ing: Duane Niool, Jack Clever. George Willard. Jack Thornton. Ix ren Wil more. Leon Wood. Charles Gordon. Phillip Snyder. Don Taylor. Robert Lipsey. and Robert Sanders. These boys have played a major part in Charlotte’s record for the past three years, and will regretfully turn in their suits after this Oriole and Islander struggle. American Legion Sponsor Armistice Day Assembly Krieg to Explain 8th Grade Award The annual Armistice day assembly program is to be presented by the American Legion. The program will begin with Mr. Csatlos leading the group in the flag salute. During the assembly Milton Krieg is to explain about the awards which are to be presented to two students of the eighth grade this spring. The boy is chosen because of his being outstanding in honor, courage, schol- arship. leadership, and service. The girl should be outstanding in courage, character. service. companionship, and scholarship. The speaker for this program is to be a soldier from Fort Custer. He has been over-seas and is to tell of some of his experiences in foreign lands.

He is six feet tall and tips the scales at 175. Jack devotes most of his time to football and Beebe. His ambition is to treat Eaton Rapids. Incidentally if you're looking for Jack during a game his number is 45 on offense he plays left tackle and on defense he plays left half in the backfield. Leon Wood—Leon Is a tall rangy fellow who hails from the country. He is a senior this year and has had two previous years in football. Although Leon Is 6’2 and wears size No. 12 shoe, he gets around well enough to hold down the right tackle position on the varsity. Usually Leon is seen carrying that certain somebody’s In- strument case around with a gleesome look in his eye. 51 is his number and he plays on the right side of the line. Dan Fuller—-As sophomore Dan’s face is seen very frequently In the line- up. Dan stands 6' even and weighs 185. One difficulty in playing foot- ball is that it interrupts his hunting but he gets enough on Sunday so he can struggle thru the week.

Banners and flags waved! People shouted and sang! Hands played and cannons shot in tribute! The whole United States was pouring over with gladness. People danced in the streets to the bells and the bugles. Joy rose to the towers and hung quivering in the tree-tops. Why? It was November 11. 1918. and the arm- istice had been signed. Germany and the Allies had reached an agreement and the war was over. Peace again ruled the world. Living soldiers would soon be home at last; that was why people everywhere were rejoicing. There may be glory in war. but the glory of peace is much stronger than that small part gained in war. For every year since November 11. 1918, this day has been observed as a national holiday in which peace is celebrated by all Americans. Today, we cannot celebrate that armistice full heartedly because we are again engaged iu a war in which we are striving for a lasting peace. Let us sacrifice so that this war may cease and so that there will be a better world in which to live hereafter. Let us all prepare for a second armistice by giving our best effort to the establish- ment of peace upon true foundations. Lost, Strayed or Stolen What has become of our school spirit? Who stole the spirit of C.H.S.? Could it be that Eaton Rapids had something to do with it. five years • go? Did it go with the little brown jug in '37? Years ago in C.H.S., we used to see orange and black in the halls all the time. Where has it gone? Are we going to sit back and let our school disappear in the smoke of defeat? With- out school spirit we can't possibly beat Eaton Rapids. Let's all wake up now and show the town folks we are all behind the team. They will turn out to the games, too. if the student body | shows a little interest in the games. It's our ; school: it's our team; and it's our duty to get I some people out to the game or Armistice Day. ; We all know the time; we all know the date; we all know where we should be; and we had better j be out to that game! Wo used to say that the student body didn't support the cheerleaders. Now we can easily say that the cheerleaders don't support the student body. How many cheerleaders turned out to the Everett game. Friday. October 30. or weren't you there either? Yes. we had one. but where was she? It took the student body to cheer for the team and try to lead the cheerleader. Is that what cheerleaders are for? Years ago we had co- operation in our school, but where did we lose it?| This can’t go on indefinitely. When the team | Is out plugging for you. do you stand on the side lines and complain about the weather? Did you ever stop to think that the team Is playing in the rain. mud. or snow for you? O. K. Now let’s get out and bring out the school spirit. What do you say? Will you be there? Study Hall Suggestions To help the teachers this year, suggestions for a better study hall were turned in last year by the study hall teachers. The suggestions have been posted on the bulle- tin board in the study hall on every one may read them. There are eight suggestions which are; 1. Only those magazines from the school list are to be used in the study hall. 2. Take your own seat as soon as you euter the study hall. If you are not in your assigned seat when the bell rings, you are tardy. 3. Students are to work independently in the study hall. 4. Pick up all papers on the floor or desks be- fore leaving the room. 5. To leave the study hall one must have a pass. 6. Student visitors must have a pass from the office. 7. Only necessary communication should be done a whisper. 8. If you desire a shade or window adjusted, the teachers in charge will do this for you. Students are not to adjust shades or windows. These are only suggestions but they are expect- ed to be carried out by every one. Wild Beast Smashes Into School Thru Open Door A ferocious tiger cat all of three months old and weighing an easy sixteen ounces, battered his way thru an open door last Wednesday. October 28. to disrupt the quiet of old C.H.S. Wandering around the tomb-like halls, he spied poor, helpless. George Willard. With un-seniorlike speed Ramsdale fled from the scene with the unnamed terror close behind. Seeking better playfellows. George made for the journalism room. Miss Wells, who happened to be in the room at the time, bravely attacked the dangerous job of subduing the animal and in a matter of minutes led the meek kitten to the wide open spaces out- doors. What If — Clare was a pine instead of an Ash? Mary Ellen was a lawyer instead of a Baker? Barbara was a bat instead of a Ball? Mary was a queen instead of a King? June was big instead of Little? Harold was a lake instead of a Marsh? Phyllis was black instead of White? Leon was steel Instead of Wood? Howard was a plum instead of a Cherry? Jack was dull instead of Clever? Donna was a room instead of a Hall? Milton was a whistle instead of Horn? Robert was a diamond instead of a Hart? Bob was a paddle instead of an Orr? Opinions Of Students On Stocking Substitutes Vernon Gresso: Vernon says he never gave it much thought, but bright anklets and saddle shoes appeal to him. He doesn’t like girls to wear no hose and prefers seams that are straight. Joan Kerstetter: Joan can’t bear girls wearing silk stockings to school. She would rather see anklets without hose. In her opinion, girls take very good care of silk hose, but they should not wear them often now. Joan prefers brighter anklets and thinks knee socks are okey. Charles Gordon: Chuck likes the leg make-up that girls have been wearing. As for anklets he likes them very bright and even thinks girls should wear brighter ones! Lois Willard: Either silk or nylon appeal to me. I like seamless hose and perfer anklets worn with silk stockings. However. I do not like leg make-up and wish knee socks would come back in style.” Jack Clever: Thinks any kind of hose is all right if girls keep the seams straight. Disliking leg make-up. he prefers anklets with lots of color. What's the best way to raise cabbage? With a fork. Attention I We wish to give some advice to those people who have not enough time. We suggest the fol- lowing: (1) Rise at 8:00 a. m. (2) In school for classes only: use vacant per- imis for more wholesome amusements. (3) Ride from 5:00 to 6:00; that means run from the last period. (4 Attend to business affairs from 6:00 to 7:00. (5 Go to the first movie so as to be ready to dance from 8:30 to 1:00. (6) Then spend a glorious hour at The Little Greasy Spoon.” (7) It is not best to retire on a full stomach so a little spin through the country from 2:30 to 4:00. we suggest to fit one for sleep. Four hours of sleep is sufficient for any ordinary high school student. Too much tends to make one lazy. (8) We have only one place left to eat, but then, we are striving to get thin; further- more we mean to be economical. Freddie Returns Hey, Kids, have you heard the latest? Freddie, the fly. has returned. The first thing that Freddie said was, Boy, they’ve got it bad and that ain’t good. meaning the two love birds, Lucy Stocking and Harold Cheney. Freddie stated that he had to leave the dance club the other night, as Smokey” Sterrett and Mike” Mathews were doing a little too much jitterbugging for him. He also said that Clever Is doing much better, (in dancing, of course). When Freddie walked down the hall, he said that he’d never seen so many note books scribbled up. Later he looked at one and recognized it as Anne Gregarek’s. The words written on the cover were. Bill-Potterville”. but the rest he was unable to read. Is Anne holding out on us? Say. maybe Potterville has got something if even our two cheerleaders are interested in it. Freddie would like to know just why Charlene Day has to sit on the desk in study hall. We wonder if she has done something or if her chair isn’t high enough. We found thut Charlene is so populaf she was being annoyed by a bunch of boys. The party was broken up by Miss Wells. It is time for the bell to ring and Freddie must leave. He wants me to be sure to tell you not to do anything he wouldn't. When a young boy is learning to swim, he finds it hard to float alone. When he gets older, he still finds It hard to float a loan. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Man er on the birth of a daughter. Sunday night. Miss Wells.
