Is You Is, Or Is You Ain’t (going to get down to business?) The presidential campaign is already degenerat- ing into a series of political Jokes, jibes, and mud- slinging. The real issues involved in this election are being crowded into the background. While it is granted that the president made some very clever replies to Mr. Dewey’s accusations, the important things such as the question of post-war employment haven’t been given a very prominent place in the declarations of the candidates. Let s hope that Mr. Dewey and the president will soon become as conscious of that fact as the public has become already. Have You Done Your Part? Every day we are asked to buy our share in America. Can we find It within ourselves to refuse a course which so greatly needs our sup- port? Our men are fighting for something that means every thing to us. That something is liberty. I and freedom which the European countries have | been deprived of. In order to keep freedom our boys must have material with which to fight. We can furnish them with this equipment by purchas- ing more war bonds and stamps. The United States Government takes this money to build ships, planes, tanks, etc., and keep them well supplied. Try to visualize your brother with a Jap sniper coming at him. and nothing to defend himself with! ; Don't let them down. Donald Riley. Frederick Young, high school alumni, have recently made th supreme sacrifice, to keep the rest of our boys safe Do your bit to help bring our boys home safe, and soon. Found: One Library Do all of you students know the definition of the word library ? You don’t ! ! ! ! ! Well, the meaning is. a collection of books, kept for study or reading and not as merchandise. Everyone that has been in the library knows that there is a fine collection of books. A student is allowed to take a book out of the library if he first has the librarian check it out for him. If the book does not get read in the required time given to the student, he can have it renewed. So come on. fellow students, let’s all patronize our library while we have the chance! In a few years we may recall what a fine chance we had and missed. Don't be one of those I don't-like- to-read people. Go to the library today! Clean It Up Have you noticed the terrible mess of papers and garbage along the side of the school house? Why not put the remains of your lunch in the waste baskets and help to make our yard one to ; be proud of? C The Goblins Are Watching Yes. the spooks and goblins are coming, and they have their eyes open, watching every boy and girl. They have seen so many Halloweens spoiled just by kids who soap windows, turn things upside down or what ever mischief is done. They will be around in all the dark places Halloween night. Everyone can have fun on Halloween, and still not spoil it for the merchants or the people at home. If you think you have to soap windows, turn the things all up side down or what ever you do, why don’t you soap your own windows or turn your own things wrong side up! Seriously though, let’s make this a safe Halloween and show the people that the younger generation can all be law abiding. Everyone will appreciate It. Let’s have no broken store windows, rotten things thrown around, and windows soaped. How about it? This is your friendly spook saying TU be seeing you on Halloween at the community party where we all can have a good time. About Folks You Know Have you noticed what a good Job Concetta Alfonso and Rebecca Hurlbut are doing in selling stamps and bonds in the junior high lobby? Louise ’'Sis Shaull has moved to West Palm Beach. Florida, where she will attend school this winter. By the way. have you noticed how the Junior high is beating the senior high in the war stamp sales? Come on. all senior high students, let’s not let them get the best of us. Glad to see Bonnie Payne back in school after a recent Illness. Have you noticed the new group of girls who seem to be wearing pig tails and such. Perhaps we’re going to have another new group of Hags. It is still not too late to buy an Orange and Black subscription for outsiders for some one in the armed forces. The subscriptions may lie given to Miss Wells or Barbara Bradley. Sally Sterrett is working in Newberry’s dime store. Supt. and Mrs. MoCall. Principal and Mrs. Muma. Mr. and Mrs. laueh. Mrs. Morey.

Exchange To avoid that run down feeling, cross the streets with caution. The Tomahawk. A senior stood on the street, so narrow. An auto was coming fast; The driver nearly jumped a tree. To let the senior past. The Trojan Trumpet. 1st Moron: What's the idea of wearing your coat wrong side out? 2nd Moron: There a hole on the other side. I love myself. I think I’m grand. I go to the movies. Just to hold my hand. I put my arms. Around my waist. And when I get fresh. I slap my face. Dedicated to Ray Mohre. Who Are Your Class Officers ? ? ? Do you know who the various class officers are? Would you like to know? Then Just finish reading this article. The complete list will be given as elections are held.

Bertram Jane and Donna Rose Clifford are get- ting along plenty all right, aren’t they? Isn't it a shame that certain hoys have to graduate? There would be a lot of happier girls around the halls. (Bev Martin, for example). Seems the football team likes to eat and more or less live at Mac’s . Is there some attraction, boys? Richard Huffman's flame for Pat Dean seems to have died out. Cute foursome: Irene Clark. Bob Randfleld. Joan Easley, and Ray Mohre. What do all the boys do out-of-town????? When Junior King is walking down the hall with a certain brunette and he sees a ‘little blonde , why does he blush? A little mixed up. aren't you. Junior? Second floor drinking fountain is still very popular, have to push your way through as always. Too bad Alcatraz Krusell is quarantined. Does lipstick on the football teams’ sweat socks’ signify good luck????? Elaine Mohre carries quite a load of girls in her car. What four seniors have watermelon on the the brain? Tacks are definitely sharp. Anyway that's what Omie Hart found out. The good looking sailor Joan Parker is always talking about is none other than Russ Martin. Wynn Potter was home from Canada. Did any of you recognize the extra height he has added? Why is it Mrs. iauch has a peaceful study hall until fifth hour when the Journalism class stampedes? How about some more singing from Bev Paton and Joan Kerstetter? Remember the Rain Song ? Eileen Pundik says there’s an age limit for the park. Seems as if (purely by accident! she hap- pend to be there and the “Cop” pulled up and asked her if she wns seventeen. A postcard received at the ofTice was addressed: i To the curliest headed boy in the tenth grade. Charlotte. High School. Charlotte. Mich. It was trom Muncie. Indiana. Know anyone who answers to this description. Dick Beechler has been threatening to publish Derby’s Dainty Diary.” How about it? Ought to be interesting. Doug Mulholland went to the office to change a subject and found he was down for home •■conomics. Takes a lot of courage to do that. (Purely a mistake.) Why is it that Betty LeVanway was looking for- ward to the 16th? Could it be that a certain some- one was coming home? Musical Who’s Who : Harold Cheney.... Come, Josephine.
