We were all hoping to pass into the ninth grade so that we might take part in sports and the activities of high school. Quite a few of us ure In the cadet band and few are In the senior band. Other activities, which we may take part in. are Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts, and the Campfire Girls, of all of which some are ineml ers. The eighth grade girls and boys, both have been active in junior high sports. There were eight boys and ten girls on the junior high basket- ball teams. All of the students have co-operated in making the year a suc- cess. We look forward to being freshmen next year and we hope to be a great success in the years to come. We wish to thank our advisers. Mrs. Marie Taylor. Miss Catherine Crozier for a very successful and happy year. MILFORD MASON. '48. President.

At the lwginning of the year, the class had a meeting and elected the following officers: president. Milford Mason: vice president. Russell San- tee; secretary. Bruce I avengood; and treasurer, Mury Ix u Terwilliger. Money was made by sponsoring a dunce in the old gym. The attendance was very good because it followed the Eaton Rapids basket bull game. This dance netted the class about thirty- five dollars, so there was enough mon- ey to pay for Charhlan pictures und have a portion over for next year. The queen that represented the eighth grade this year at the journal- ism carnival was Virginia Royston. A class meeting was held in the old gym for the purpose of a Valentine party. Valentines were exchanged among the boys and girls in the class. There were refreshments of chocolate milk, jello and sandwiches served by the 8 B l’s while the 8 B 2 s provided the recreation.

MEET THE ORIOLE COACHING STAFF Malcolm Gobel Coach Gobel attended Alma College and received a B. S. degree. While in college he played three years of football, serving in the capacity of tackle. He then served five years at Beld- ing high school coaching football, basketball, and track. In 1935 he moved to Charlotte and supervised all the sports here. Coach has ‘ produced many winning teams for Charlotte, especially In track. Char- lotte's only state championship win- ner was the cross-country team of 1940 Mr. Gobel initiated the Idea of hav- ing a junior high basketball team for the purpose of making potential ma- terial for the varsity squad. Emerson Grindall After receiving his training at Oli- vet College. Mr. Grindall was the foot- ball. basketball, and baseball coach at Parma. When Mr. Grindall came to Char- lotte in the fall of 1942. he was given the duties of assistant football coach, and instructor of the junior high team. This year he started coaching the second team In basketball, while Mr. Schroeder assumed the respon- sibilities of the junior high team. Richard Bilbie Mr. Hllbie attended the University of Michigan where he received his B. A. degree. He taught one year In Potterville before coming to Charlotte in 1939. He has been the recreational director for Charlotte for the past two years. This is his second year of coaching j the tennis team. Mr. Bilbie stated: Tennis is an up and coming sport that everyone at any age can play and enjoy. It Is health- ful exercise and a good conditioner. This year’s team was the best in re- cent years. Next year’s squad will be very promising because of the returning lettermen. Physical Fitness Has Completed One Year The physical fitness program has been carried on for one complete school year now. It was first intro- duced in the fall of 1942. hut this allowed only two classes a week. At the beginning of the new semester in 1943. every junior or senior hoy was required to take this one hour daily conditioning unless he was phy- sically unable to do so. Army authorities emphasized that the youth of today is abnormally weak in his arm and shoulder de- velopment. Coach Gobel succeeded In arranging an obstacle course on the playground for fall and spring. This course Includes a rope and lad- der. supping boxes, an eight foot wall, and two wooden tunnels. For gymnasium work. In addition to the exercises, there are bars for head stands, horses, mats, climbing ropes, and lings. The exercises include push-ups. pull ups. squat jumps, head stands, twist- ing and bending the trunk, and scores of others that are body conditioners. Competitive games in which phy- sical contact is emphasized, provide for enjoyment as well as for toughen- ing up purposes. One of the best liked of these games is physical fit- ness basketball” in which anything is legal. Occasionally Coach gives comman- do training to the fellows. This is a h-ap frog. horse and rider, and many gruelling never-ceasing Job of playing others. Every six weeks, tests are given to show the achievement and improve- ment of each hoy. These tests are taken in groups of three; one as the performer, one as a counter, and the other as a Judge. Points may be taken off the total score If any one of these performances Is Incomplete. The test Includes push ups. pull ups. squat Jumps, squat thrusts, and sit- ting up exercise. One does as many for one minute. Some of the most consistent scor- ers have been Treloar. with an nil high record of 272 points. Gresso. Phillips. Orr Hill Dunning. VVehr. and Pray. Mike” Mathews holds the record In push ups. having done 71 In one minute. Orioles Lose Jug’ to Eaton Rapids Eleven Team Wins Four of Seven Games in Exciting Season In celebrating Its fiftieth anniver- sary in football competition. Char- lotte downed Lakevtew by n score of 20 to 7 on the home field Friday. Sep- tember 17. A Luke view fumble on the kick-off gave the Orioles their first scoring op- portunity. Climaxing a steady down- field march. Kay Mohre scored front the five yard line. The try for the extra point was no good. The Spartans’ only score material- ized in the first quarter, directly fol- lowing Charlotte’s first score. Hos- kins. speedy Spartan hack, sprinted 75 yards to score. The Orioles again took over and fullback Carrtgan topped off long marches down the field by plunging over from the four and three yard lines. The Orioles kept their lead of 20 to 7 until the final gun sounded. On Friday. October 1. the local hoys took on n strong Mason eleven with the final result of Charlotte 20; Mason 6.

Charlotte took to the air for the only touchdown of the game, to win a see-saw battle from Howell. Both t ams were deep in their opponent’s territory hut the defenses stiffened and held. In the game Carroll Phil- lips started at right guard. His stel- lar defensive play made him one of the outstanding cogs in the Oriole forward wheel. A week later. October 29. the Or- ioles entertained a strong Everett squad. Charlotte came out on the long end of the score 34 to 0. The Orioles couldn't stop the fighting Viking squad led by Boh Lardte.
