Sever- al parties were held, and the class sponsored two dances, by which we earned enough to pay for our class pictures. Basketball suits were purchased with the proceeds from one of the dances. Introductory courses in home economics. French, and Spanish proved enjoyable and inter- esting to our class. Class officers for the year 1944-1945 were: President ...............................

We as a class would like to thank our advisers. Mrs. Marie Taylor and Mrs. Wildern for their faithful assistance to us in planning our high school career. BOB BROWN. President. “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay” The time has come when the eighth graders have at last opened their hearts and revealed their secret feelings about becoming freshmen. Here are few: Pat Dean says. I am scared to death. Joey Tuckey states. At last I am on my way to be- coming a brilliant senior (I hope). From Marilyn Shiels we heard these painful words. I'm sure I'll feel alone and lost.” Mike Pietrogallo whispered. Now I feel grown-up. Russell Beals shyly said. “At last I can take up Latin.” Donna Barrett remarked. ”1 bet I’ll be sick for at least a week. Farewell to geography. calmly said Keith Keesler. Barbara Lindhlom says. Now I'll have time to fuss around.” As we continued our search we stumbled over some remarks such as these: George Bruce. I don't believe It will make any difference with me. Richard Marshall. I'll feel my football days are near. Now! lajok at the girls.” states Jack Mann. The remark. I’ll Ik- scared of the sen- iors. came from Betty Jo Ilykstra. Looking still farther we found these: Neil Zim- merlee. I feel terribly small : Robert Brown. I feel excited ; Shirley Bruce. 1 feel funny : Neil Casler. “I feel stupid : I-ois Collins. I feel intelli- gent : Beverly Greenshields. ”1 think that my money problems are Just Iteginnlng: Teddy Mar- tin. I’ll probably end up a heel”; Lola French. I am glad : Lester Frank. “My knees are begin- ning to shake”: Robert Goodnoe;” I feel advan- ced ; Charles Mathews. I wish school was out.” Our notebook Is pretty well filled up. but be- fore we close we want to chuck in these last well known and long rememln-red remarks from our freshmen to be. Bonnie Fox. ”1 feel brave”; Lloyd Harmon. “Life is just beginning : George Shaull. Now I can go down to the park, too ; Dick Johnson. Maybe ‘Ma will let me stay up till nine-thirty now. When asked how he'd feel. Harry Gregg stated. I'll feel lonely”; Barbara Jordan remarked, I feel I’ll have to scram out of the way for the juniors and seniors. Margaret Moist exclaimed. I feel cute. Now that I am entering senior high school. I feel like a big girl.” remarks Ruth Morris. George Newcomer stated, I’ll Ik shy of the girls. Barbara Nichols said. I will be boy shy. Our notebook is full now. so this will have to be the end of our little interview with the freshmen to be. Row 1—C. Alfonso, J. Bandfield. O. Barrett. R. Beals. G. Bruce. Row 2—S. Bruce, N.

Mrs. Taylor is a graduate of Baton Rapids High school, class of 1905. When asked about different changes in the school system, and of different subjects. Mrs. Taylor obliged by saying that the schools then were very strict in discipline, more so than they are now. For Instance, in her school days stu- dents were not allowed to speak after entering the building. Also she told that German was usually given as a major subject and also that schools were operated on a smaller scale. Bnglish and German were her favorite subjects. After three years of work. Mrs. Taylor attend- ed college at Ypsilanti and Olivet. Her ambition—which has long been fulfilled— was always to be a teacher. When we inquired about her hobby she merely said. Cooking.” And she prefers to prepare a Sunday or holiday dinner, foremost. Mrs. Taylor has been teaching for twenty- eight years, and twenty-five of them have been In Charlotte schools. We hope that she will con- tinue with us. as long as possible. And we really do appreciate all she has done for our eighth grade and junior high.

Ambitions seem uppermost in the eyes of the freshmen as they start their jour- ney forward into the land of opportun- ities. It seems that handsome Raymond Dane has his heart set on becoming an Esquire photographer. He has plan- ned to lie the first to produce pictures of girls that whistle right hack at their admirers. On going farther we find that Hetty Rodeman has planned to go to Hollywood after she graduates. She is going to take Mae West's place so that Mae can spend the rest of her life in retirement. Studious Vernon Royston has set his goal as one of the greatest. He is hoping to become a Professor of Science, at Ox- ford University. Studying and working for a better education seems to Ik one of his greatest triumphs in life. Oh yes! While we remember, it is hint- ed around that David Fullerton has al- ready started a campaign. He is sure that he will lie the President of the United States in 19S5. Good luck to you. fellow. Peter Kardel is Just wearing his al- ready frail self to distraction trying to find an occupation which will not take too many muscles or too much brawn. It is really too bad that he was built so tiny. Yes. Barbara Jennings, we think that you have chosen a good occupation. It seems that Barbara will do every thing in her power to become an African missionary. Farming has wonderful opportunities. Milford Mason has decided. Just give him a cow. a horse, and a pretty wife, and he’ll show everyone. Geraldine Face has had a serious time de iding what she would lie. It bus been a close choice between a bathing beauty and a singer. She has at last decided to become a Bluet Singer. with some famous coast-to-coast swing band. Get out of his way kids! Ronald Monk has decided to take up boxing, and he intends to go to the top as the Heavy Weight Champion of the world. A minister is the life profession chosen by serious Raymond Rudce. Give me a life of seriousness”, says he. Peggy Skelley and Klwood Kelly have joined forces and are practicing already. They intend to present to the world one of the greatest ballet teams of their generation. With Peggy's beauty and Elwood'g gracefulness, who knows? Really Gerald, you needn't bother! Don't tell the girls, but Gerald Starr intends to become a hermit on an isolated island. where there are no women. He seems to lie a female hater. Tut. tut. I just saw Barbara Lindblom. the future principal, chasing Charles Dowk- er. the coming superintendent of Char- lotte high school liecause he stole her Comic Hook. Oh! my goodness what is this younger generation coming to? ? ? Carroll Tharp: “Did you ever break a date?” Melody H.: Have I? Everyone I've gone out with. Row 8—P. Joppie. P. Kardel. E. Kelly. L.
