ORANGE A. BLACK Page 3 Hastings Downs Charlotte 21-0 Battling their way through an ag- gressive Oriole eleven. Hastings rolled over Charlotte to the score of 21 to 0 ou a rain swept field. It was inability to stop Myers, hard running Saxon back, that spelled de- feat to the Orioles. Early in the first quarter. Thomas, a Hastings hack, ’nattered his way through tackle and ran 28 yards to score behind good blocking. Ayres’ kick for the extra point was good, making the score. 7 to 0. No further scoring was done until the second quarter when Myers, left half bark. sprinted 70 yards, behind beautiful downfleld blocking, to pay dirt. Ayres again made the conver- sion. thus putting the score 14 to 0. The Charlotte defense held the Sax- on's scoring until the fourth period when Myers passed to Caleman. in the end xone. for a touchdown. Ayres again made the extra point from place- ment. making the score 21 to 0. The slippery field handicapped both the Oriole and the Saxon passing attack. Orio o leathers Dots and dashes and lots of Kurus: , Noticed the twins In action at the football field after school? Wow! Your reporter wonders if the A I l oys from the second hour physical fitness class don't wear their good clothes so that they won’t have to lie down for the exercises. Remember last week's spot news? Virgel Archer threw his arm out of joint second hour and third hour the news was in the Orange Black. The only drawback was that the news was of the same accident, two weeks pre- vious.

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?

Page 4 ORANGE BLACK Girl Reserves Hold Second Meeting The second meeting of the Girl Re- serves was held Wednesday evening In the home economics room. The meet lng was called to order by the presi- dent. Lucille LaPointe. A motion was made, seconded and carried that the sum of 35 cents be paid to the treas- urer as dues for the semester. A lively discussion followed, concern- ing ways to earn money. Baked goods and candy sales were suggested. It was decided to hold regular meet- ings on the first and third Wednedays and to meet at the Red Cross head- quarters on the second and fourth Tuesdays starting October 26. The membership of the club will lie limited to 25. Bach member who is absent from the regular meetings must have a good excuse or she will be penalized ten cents for unexcused absence. Any member being absent for three con- secutive times will be dropped from the club. Initiation was held for about half the group on October 15. The manner of doing this was to have each mem- ber select one of the group and write on a slip of paper how she wanted Ijer to dress for the day Many comical outfits were seen flitting al out that day. The rest of the group will be initiated in the near future. What kind of people do they think we are? Show them with wur sav- ings stamps and bonds. ‘Doings of TJho Classes The art classes are making Christ mas menu covers for the Navy. This is In response to the Junior Red Cross appeal. Bach member of the class is milking two. either with crayon, water color, stencil or block print. The seventh grade art class has just completed some sketches of flowers. There have been some very good re- sults. Seventh grade literature classes have | l egun choral readings. In Mr. Bilble’s government classes there is a lively discussion of just about everything. The students don't seem to mind; It's much more Intel- esting they say. Eleventh grade speech gathering must Ik entertaining. All sorts of speeches are said to come from there. The seventh grade geography class is somewhere in South America. The Journalism class is trying des- parately to gather enough material for the next issue of the Orange Black. Sallie Hale 47 President Sallie Hale was elected president of the freshman class in their meeting The rest of the officers are: David Adams, vice president; Jacquelyn Yund, secretary: Joan Easley, treasur- er.

Square Dance Instructions Given Thursday Night Honor your partners all. now the corner lady! Yes. square dancing and lots of it. Thursday night in the old gym a group of girls and hoys got to- gether and started learning to square dance. Mr. Horn. Mr. Farrier, and Mr. Bil-1 bie acted as instructors, while Mrs. Buckley and Mrs. Weymouth played ; the piano. Three different types or routines were taught to the four or five sets. The group decided that they would like to have another square dance the following Thursday. All left about 9:30 so that Mr. Bilbie could go to the second show. Of course I'll wait. It won’t be long— Perhaps a year or two. Our love is sweet And much too strong To vanish with the dew. I’ll wait for you And write to you To say I’m still the same.
