Band Plays Short Concert At the county War Drive meeting lust Monday night, the Charlotte band played a short concert. According to the director. Mr. Ward C.

This year it has been planned that each grade will be in competition with the other so that the real spirit of the campaign will be attained. Each grade will select its own leaders and also a name for its class such as The Fly- ing Tigers.” Paratroopers.” Coast Guard. and the like to distinguish it from the other classes. This is another means of arousing the spirit of com- petition so that more scrap and more contributions will be brought in. The campaign this year Is really a combination of two drives, the Nation- al War Fund drive, which Is solely for the purpose of receiving contributions, and the regular scrap drive. All the money collected from the sale of scrap and from student contributions is to he turned over to the United War Fund which includes seventeen different foreign and domestic relief agencies, such as the United China Relief. It is necessary for all students to know the method to be used in col- lecting scrap. The scrap should be brought to the high school play ground. Then the money received from the sale of scrap is to be brought to the leader of the class who will keep track of all the money turned In by the individual and the class as a whole. The scrap must lie a free dona- tion on the part of the people of the Charlotte community us all proceeds from the drive are to go. as stated be- fore. to the United War Fund. Any contributions made by those partici- pating in the campaign will help boost his own personal record and also in- crease the class score. It has been decided that the highest class will receive a cash award and also the highest individual or individ- uals are to receive the same. The amount of the award is to be announ- ced later. The drive has already started and contributions will Ik taken in at any time. November 9 will mark the close of the campaign. There will be no school at this time. Army trucks from Fort Custer will arrive on the last day to pick up all scrap from the coun- try that was too heavy to be brought in otherwise. So They Say Oct. 21—Report Cards.

All about me Is a strange world which has become an alarming place, a world which, whether we like it or not. it Is our responsibility to light for. to protect and to defend. That is both man's and woman's responsibility alike. What would I defend If I were a man? What do 1 defend, being a woman? I defend and trust my parents in everything they do for me; the smell of the Sunday dinner cooking; the flowers mother courageously nursed through- out the cold winter; and the friendly little children playing near our front doorstep. I defend not the propaganda, rumors of many politicians and spies; but I defend my memories of a play house in our back yard with old things in it that mother has discarded, the streams of cars coming home from a football game, the decorations in our house at Christmas time, the thrilling feeling because father let me drive our car. the little old table my grandmother left behind w'hen she went to her resting place, the picnics and steak- roasts In the pasture lot. When I am working, writing to James at Fort Sill, giving my friend a birthday present or getting scrap for the scrap drive. I’m doing more than working, giving, and writing. I'm not only doing these things but defending the things 1 love, the things you. love- America, as I have come to know it in nearly nineteen years of happiness and oppor- tunity. Tales In Talent Are you an assembly griper? Do you go to the assemblies to catch up on your sleep? Well, listen, why not try to do something about it? How about a little home talent? We all like to hear a new singing sensation or see a good piece of acting or other kinds of new talent from the student body. How many of you realize that you are the student body? You're the ones with the talent. It's hard to offer your services, but how about contributing when you're asked! Could It be possible that one reason for the lack of home talent assemblies is the poor sportsmanship in the audience? Get the idea? Let's all co-operate by offering our talent for at least one assembly. And don’t forget! Ix?t’s have less criticism and more of the right kind of applause from the audience. Remember you’re the talent! Ninety-five percent of you have already given the go ahead signal so it shouldn't be hard to bring in the rest of the flock, because we’re all pulling to- gether to make for more fun! Teacher— Now will anyone tell me of anything new of importance that has happened in the last seventy-live years? Jlggs Webb- Me. fflcick Zj ic Sfoys When we purchase war bonds and stamps we are I helping to speed the inevitable Axis defeat. Victory will mean that our fighting men will come hack to the things they love, peace, security. , .1 home, and all the things that home stands for. Maybe an extra bond would have saved that man s 1 life at Salerno, or at Lae. and other places where ; Americans have fought and died in the defense of their country. All of us cannot be at the battlefields, but we can all Back the Attack with War Bonds. Buy till it hurts, the Axis. Do you ever whistle in the dark? Neil Cochrane does. Why is it Bev Baton likes to top carrots? Frances Smith likes to sit in broken chairs. Did you know Mrs. Wildern has a little helper? His name is Gaylord Yund. I wonder how many people like red heads? Did you see the three sailors a week ago? Connie Beebe did. Wonder why cross country Ijoys like to sit on the bridge rail? Ask Eugene Royston. Didjaever see ’Cal carry Russ piggy back across Main street? Locker 175 must be a lucky number. How about It. Nell? What do you think about the two Joe’s on the hay ride? Some going, huh? Where does Lucy get all those letters? Did you ever hear strange sounds coming from the band room fourth hour and wonder what it was? So have I. If you think the seniors get all the breaks. Just wait until you’re u senior. Have you noticed the increase of school spirit present everywhere about the halls, and at the pep meetings? Shirley Walker has accepted a position as stenographer with the Michigan Silo Co. for after school and on Saturdays. Mr. Pray— And what did you learn at school today? Joe 1 learned to say. No. Sir’ and ’Yes. Sir.’ and ’No. Ma’am’ and ’Yes, Ma'am’. Mr. Pray (greatly pleased)— You did? Joe— Yep! Mrs. Klplinger— How do you spell 'inconse- quentially?” Bob Betty Wrong. Spooks Are Coming Another year bus passed and the spooky season of Halloween is Just around the corner. Children as in the past few years will carry out the spirit of Halloween by fixing pumpkins with faces and placing them in their windows. On the day of the big parade, you can see little children dressed in costumes of all kinds, going to school to enter into the gala event. Older ones have been in the habit of soaping windows, wrecking private property, and doing things to destroy. Trick or Treat is a fair enough game in many folks' view point, but let's not express that idea too far. After all. treats for just the family mem- bers themselves are now getting to Ik a thing of the past. Let's keep our record clear this year, so that once and for all we can truthfully say we hud a good time on Hnllowccn without destroying prop erty of others. Hou About You? After two years of inactivity in the different clubs. Charlotte high school once again offers to the students the opportunity to Join the organization they are most interested In. There are several dif- ferent groups listed below. The Girl Reserves is for junior and senior girls in- terested for one thing in folding bandages for the Red Cross. The meeting will be hid on Wednesday night the second and fourth week in each month. The time Is from 7:30 to 9:00 and the place, the home economics room. The Hi-Y is for Junior and senior boys. Mr. Bilbie is leader so if you are Interested see him. The Future Farmers of America under the direc- tion of Mr. Sehrocder is designed for boys interest- ed in farming. Those are just a few of the clubs now working for your benefit here in school. Pick at least one you are interested in and see if you can Join. Ore it’ds So Tj o .., Mrs. Morey, who does a truly remarkable Job keeping the machinery of the school office running perfectly. She is more or less a secretary to the whole school and she is always ready to help any- one. Her many duties include being bookkeeper and stenographer to Mr. McCall: having charge of both the financial and the secretarial Ismks of the Board of Education; issuing working permits; having charge of Government records; keeping in touch with other schools; doing all of the filing along with many, many other duties. It takes an orderly mind and a systematic person to l e able to do all this. So 1 say. hats off to Mrs. Morey for the efficient Job she is doing. ‘Suoss 2Oho 1. This popular C.H.S. junior has sandy colored hair—loads of freckles—blue eyes—plays In orchestra and band.—Is seen around the Krog- er store—always has a smile for everyone. Come on. gang, you all know him! 2. A well liked junior girl—6 4 tall—auburn hair blue eyes plays in band likes her work at the hospital—Girl Reserves- every- one's friend. 3. This 7th grader has blond hair—freckles Is cute seen with Shirley Bruce—likes horse back riding—very popular. 4. This little man can be found most of the time in room 203. Wears glasses—often seen on bicycle—interested in dancing organization —full of fun—absenteeism. Just Lookin' In looking through The Tomahawk. the Pontiac high school paper, we find that they are obtaining copies of their school hymn and the choir is busy memorizing It so that they can help teach it to the student body in an assembly. They think that all schools should have a school hymn as well as a light song. Good suggestion, don't you think?
