Armistice Z)ai Exactly twenty-four years ago today, the eleventh hour, month and day. the whole world was at peace. Everyone thought peace forever was here at last. After four long years of 1» I ties on land and sea. the noise of Hun shells was silenced. Men women, and children were laughing, the whole world rejoicing. But crowds of people were sad. for they knew their lioys wouldn't In coming home; yet they knew no more would be lost l ecause the Armistice had been signed between Germany and the Allies. Seven and one-half million men had sacrificed their lives for the struggle between imperialism and liberty. Approximately seven million men spent the rest of their life in hospitals, handicapped by crippled minds and bodies. Glory may be in wars, but peace Is ever so much greater than the portion gained in war. In England, this day Is observed by minutes of silence for special remembrance of the lost; yet we. as Americans celebrate by having colorful foot- ball games, parades, and speeches by war veterans. Today, we cannot celebrate that Armistice full- heart edly Inwause we are engaged In another war striving for another day of peace. Our sacrifices may 1m great, but not too great if they prepare not for a second Armistice, hut for a lasting peace. Jt's 2 oi r Sc iooi Do you take care of your school? Have you picked up all the waste paper in the halls and kept your locker clean? This is your school and it’s up to you to keep it clean. This is one thing that concerns the appearance of the school. Another is the condition in which the furniture is kept. If you have to loosen a screw in the leg of a chair or table, then tomorrow, bring a toy to occupy yourself with. We came here to l»e taught, not to learn to destroy. Some students always feel that when it is necessary to figure, it In Just us easy to do it on the desk tops as on paper. Does this help the uppearance of our school? If each student does his part In keeping our school clean and neat. It will help the looks of the school as well as teaching us to be good citlawns. Why Not Try It? Educational week, which we observed from No- vember 7 to 13. was started by the American Legion. Each day of this time is set aside for the observance of a special line In education. To- day patriotism is stressed. Others recognize church and school relations and home and school relations. Why must this last only a week? Why not observe it Indefinitely? Would it not be much better for us and everyone else? Mr. Bilble: State the number of tons of coal shipped out of the U. S. in any given year. Cliff Martens: 1492—none. Background of Our Token Do You Know— Did you ever think about the Little Brown Jug. 1 Max W ilmore of where it came from and why and how it hap- Donuld H ice pened to originate? The history of that little Roderick Y ales innocent jug dates back in the story of football for nine years. Vernon G res so it started in the year 1934. when Mr. Kenneth Joe 1 auch Parnhill. better known as Coach Barnhill, was Vernon R oyston then instructing the team. While wandering Carl L indblom through a junk yard, one day he spied this little Wayne S teward jug. Yes. folks, that poor jug came from the junk yard. Although it is a copy from some of the Neil C ochrane larger and better known teams, he decided that Roger A sh Charlotte should have a token for effort too. so George N ewcomer picking this item up and bringing to the school, he suggested its use to our rivals. Eaton Rapids. Jack T irrell This jug has gone through a war of Its own. being juggled back and forth between the two school Dick S chnockenberger from year to year. Nyle T reloar Victory failed the Orioles In 1934. the first year Richard U ren of ownership, by a score of 7 to 12. but they Richard D erby catned it back again in 1935 and '36 with top Gaylord Y und scores of 6 to 0. The next four years were vic- tories for the rivals, the scores being '37. 12-0; '38. 8-7; 39. 24-7; '40. 13-ft. In 1941 a hard fought game resulted in a tie. 7-7. But last year's victory •of 13 to 0 Drought the brown jug back to Charlotte. Why Is It? Stop! Beware! BEWARE! ! ! and keep off the grass. As all who enter the building by the front door have noticed, the wire is no longer there and it is up to the students to show their respect for the school by keeping the grass growing. This is a patriotic gesture on the part of the school and there is no reason for letting them down. It Is reported that Mr. Bllhle's history and gov- ernment classes have been subjected to quite lengthy lectures on the subject. Iwt's show him it wasn't a waste of time and breath. Besides it does make the school look better. When Iwy meets girl and only gives her the once over, she thinks he’s cool—but when boy meets girl and he gives her the glad-eye. she thinks he’s fresh. When ln y dates girl and holds her hand, she thinks he’s stuffy—but when boy dates girl and tries to encircle her waist, she thinks he’s been around. When boy escorts girl home and says. Good Night , she’s insulted—but when boy escorts girl home and tries to kiss her she thinks he’s got nerve”. Why Is It? You tell us!! —Marshall Diul. New Yells, PLEASE Are you tired of our old yells? If you are. put on your thinking caps and let the school know some new ones. You students who have been to other schools should have some ideas, so let’s hear them! Get old ones out of your cellars or attics and let’s have some good old school spirit for the basketball team this year. Sftoy and Sir of 7j ic Week Finally locating this well-known senior, your reporter tried to get some information from him. Chicken dinners seem to Ik his favorite dish as far as food is concerned. When he’s not playing football he is usually sleeping. In answer to tin question of women, well • - - he likes them all. Of all Ills activities, football ranks ace-high and asketbal! a close second. He has proved his likings for these sports hy being an active meml er of the team for four years. The Eaton Rapids game today will be his last high school football game. He helped last year to bring the little brown jug back to Charlotte high. Oh. yes. this lad is “Mike Mathews. • • • Mashed potatoes and gravy with steak seems to hit the spot with this senior girl. Her favorite mistimes are dancing, ltowllng and shows. She also is in favor of having skating in the old gym ns she likes to skate. You see her quite often In Bruno’s—taking orders. She enjoys friends and thinks all students are swell. As for hoys. well, they’re all right. She thinks cheerleading is fun. 1 and certainly does a good job of It. She’s not quite sure what she wants to be after she is through with school hut knows she would like to travel This certain person is none other than Mary Jane ‘ Spagnuolo. Meet Newest Enrollee With the great »st of pleasure I give you the newest student of Charlotte high. Several days ago he enrolled In the physical fitness classes and just recently became a member of the band. He Is a most outstanding personality in all his class- es. He has Mr. Hynes’ permission to bark at any- one he thinks Is not acting properly. Yes. he’s a dog. called Capple . What his plans after his graduation are. I don’t know, but I hope he enjoys a long and happy life. Sure hope we win the Little Brown Jug again this year. Get your voices in practice, everybody! Doesn’t Bob Orr look cute in a formal, though? We hear Dick Hicks is getting Lou Ann to sell Christmas cards for him. Well—if you can get away with It—why not? Personal nomination for a cute C.H.S. couple— Anna Mae Royston ami Wayne Steward. The night of October 20. some of the football boys didn’t finish practice until 10 o'clock and the usual time Is about seven o'clock. Is it that they got lost in the park—alone? Delores Michel keeps thinking and thinking— Which shall it Ik - - - Jimmy or Joe?” How did you like those new III' cheerleaders at the Everett game? Good going. Pat Dean and Richard Huffman, slow down the tempo, please! Why Is it Joe Pray and Laurel are caught so often in the halls during classes? Ned Walters was sure interested in getting “Lucy” to Ik his assistant for circulation manager on the Ch irhian staff. Ilinmni- Why? Wouldn't you like to know? Have you see Phyllis White wearing a sweater with an A on It? How about It. Phyllis? What Are They? Teddy bears, fuzzy cats, mixing bowls, egg beat- ers, footballs, pajamas, housecoats, big hair bows, and rubber boots all combined, help form these strange looking creatures that are running around the halls. What are they you ask? Science has given them the name of Girl Reserves”, hut most people call them just plain girls'. The Reverend Richard Steward Beechler Called a hen a most elegant creature. The hen. pleased with that. Laid an egg in his hat. And thus did the hen reward Beechler. Ray: You dance wonderfully well. Barb.: I wish I could say the same for you. Ray: You could, if you He as I do.”
