Well, whose fault will it be if we do not enjoy this new year? Our own fault of course. Sure, this is a time when many of us wish we could be doing something of more importance to our country. “What good does going to school do to make victory closer? most of us are asking. Here is the answer for this question. We want to help and here is the best way that we cun do it. Go to school and get as much educa- tion as we can. This will help as much as any- thing as we can do. After all. there is a post war future that we must look forward to. and we want that future to be one with people in it that are not lacking in the most important thing in life, an education to help them make something of them- selves and their country. Besides going to school there are many very Important things that we can do to help, such as buying war lionds with the money that we can make by doing odd Jobs. We are the future of America, so let's strive to make it a country that we may be proud to call America. Don’t Forget the Team Athletica holds a very important part in the life of the average high school student. It Is in this field that we will learn to develop pep. school spirit and good sportsmanship. In all of our athletics there is a certain branch that we enjoy most, and we all have our '•heroes’ , who are outstanding in their field of sports, and also we all have our own personal’ hero. Every one appreciates the good work that our teams have done in the past and we all wish them the best of luck in the future. Let's prove that we are la-hind our team by going to all the football and basketball games this year. Don't just go to the games though; go on the in- tention of backing up the team with yells, and really yell with all the excitement and school spirit that’s in you. When you buy your activity tickets, be sure to put them to use and turn out to the games one hundred percent. There are five hundred thirteen students in the junior and senior high alone. Let's see at least five hundred at every home game this year. Orchids To......... Coach Gobel and to the fine Job he is doing with our football team. This Is his tenth year of coaching Itasketball and football. During the summer he worked on a farm as- sisting his father with the haying. He taught ( physics at Michigan State College, and also went to Logansport. Indiana to coaching school. Coach is head of the Capital Circuit League which includes; Grand Ledge. Eaton Rapids, l ake- view. Mason and Charlotte. This year he is also helping with the student activity ticket sales. Hats off to our teacher and coach. Mr. Gobel. Remember When............. The 8th grade history class pushed Rod Yates” j into the waste paper basket and set him on Kip- py's desk? School didn't take all of our hard earned cash (Seniors) ? Seniors were the new freshman kids? You didn't pass second floor fountain without being sprayed with water pistols? We didn't have so many fire-drills? When Mr. Hynes was principal? When every kid in school had a yo-yo? When every one was staying after school eighth hour? When we had movies about once a week? When the girls didn’t wear turbans on rainy days? What If? Rowland were a Cook instead of a Baker? Rita were English instead of French? Arthur were a Wolf Instead of a Fox? Betty were a Moth instead of a Miller? Howard were an Apple instead of a Cherry? Jack were a Woman instead of a Mann? Velma were Dumb instead of Clever? Norma were Lansing instead of Marshall? Laurel were a Moon instead of a Starr? Reta were an Ache instead of a Payne? Richard were a Bushel instead of a Peck? Marilyn were a Pearl instead of u Diamond? Genevieve were Coal instead of Wood? Francis were a Crutch instead of a Kane? Dorene were Wrong instead of Wright? Book of the N eek One of the most thrilling and dramatic stories of this war is the story of l end-Lease, written by Mr. Stettinius. former Lend-I ease Administrator and now Under Secretary of State. The story is both important and fascinating; Important be- case it concerns such critical events as the fall of France, the plight of Britain after Dunkirk, the I struggle to keep war supplies going into China, the battlefronts in Russia. North Africa. Italy and the Pacific; fascinating because for the first time all the dramatic episodes of United Nations supply have been woven into one fast-moving story. Mr. Stettinius is a dynamic personality—a highly sue- j cessful business man who has become an able and distinguished public servant. The book reflects all the enthusiasm and sincerity with which he has approached the problem of supplying a global war. In the early stages of the war. before the United N'utlons took the offensive, many Lend-I ease af- fairs were military secrets; their stories could not be made known until we were ready to strike the enemy hard Yet the scope and success of these acomplishments are tremendously inspiring mat- ters which called for monumental decisions at the instant of an emergency. American rifles were rushed to defend British against invasion, destroy- ers changed ownership, critically needed materials j reached supposedly impossible destinations all ; with results which have changed history. Be sure to read this thrilling story. Tattle-Tales We suggest that the band should keep an extra uniform for Director Anderson when he has to sub- stitute for Floyd Weymouth. Anyway he ran really beat a mean bass drum. Roger Gay and Betty LeVanway?????? Say. Derb , tell us all what happened on your 15th birthday down on the first floor. Did you hear about our honorable Mayor Gresao riding his little red wagon up and down the audi- torium aisles? Seems wonderful to have the seniors all dread- ed up for one whole day just waiting to pose. Hicks and Potter are at it again, only this time it's a different Hicks. It's heard tell that Brewster Grier’s birthday party guests were a little bit surprised to find themselves in Detroit early one morning and no way to get home. Car Isn't any better for the wear, either. How about a little more pep and power behind the cheers at the games? Chummy, aren't we? (Punkie and Hildlng) Wonder why the physics class rates all the popu- larity this year. Must be Mr. Grindall’s end of the hour jokes. Cute couple— Omie Hart and Joan Kerstetter. Football team certainly is boosting the activity tickets. Bet you’ve seen some of those cute new girls, haven't you. boys? Oh that smell! They say it's the new chemisty aprons, but Is It? They start younger every year, don't they???? Billie McKeag and Yvonne Hill. Who are the The Kids”? It seems they all do the same things like eating chill and wearing over- alls nights of the games. What's this about Wacky Weymouth holding hands with Melody Hussey In band? Daylight, too! Charlotte Orioles have competition again. The ninth grade has a foot ball team. About Folks You Know The school wishes to extend its sympathy to Muynard Backofen in the loss of his father, and to Rosemary Riley for the loss of her brother, Donald Riley, who was killed in action. Donald was from the graduating class of '38. Congratulations to the new cheerleaders for the coming year. Best wishes to Mary Lou Bobler as new assembly chairman. Three cheers to the football boys for their fine work this year. Sorry that Joan McMyler has left us and moved to Hart. Michigan. Lou Ann Potter. Maxine Pratt. Joyce Taylor and Janice Granstrom are working at Mac's. Ix is Willard is working at the Republican- Tribune office. The first Orange and Black subscription for men in the armed forces goes to Pvt. Jack Bobler of the Army Air Forces, stationed at Denver. Colo. W iat They Think of the Advisory System Marian Ball—This system is entirely different from that of last year. One advantage Is that we get things done more quickly this year. Don Moore—Everything seems O. K. this year so far. Wanda Wing—I'm not completely in favor of this new system; I feel that too many of the activitites are run by the teachers, with not enough initiative on the part of the student body. Ray Mohre—I can't s« e anything wrong with this new method except the classes are so split up they can’t seem to unite on anything except through a class meeting. Is It Lost??? Have you lost something! Do you know where to find it? You don't? Well, go to the lost and found iocuted on the second floor, number 212. For information concerning articles that are lost, strayed or forgotten inquire at the place mentioned above. But seriously, it is important that we all do our part to help others recover lost possessions. We can do this by turning in to the I ost and Found things we find that are not ours. Though to us these things may not seem to Ik worth the trouble and may seem unimportant, to the person to whom they belong, they may mean u lot. Let's co-operate this year and turn into the Lost and Found anything that we find around school. This will help us to have a successful organization. Exchange Howell school plans for the future by organizing now. two lutnds. which are to parade through town cn V-Day. From the Howell Green and Gold comes news of a reception for freshmen. (A good plan. How about it?) Pleated skirts of bright plaids fastened with mammoth safety pins, are the latest style for girls of East Lansing, High: Trojan Trumpet (Now girls, don't get Ideas). Freshtnun grassy, Sophomore brassy. Juniors sassy. Seniors classy. That’s all-- Library Club Has Breakfast The Library Club met Wednesday.
