That is how re- hearsals on Headed for Eden , the annual Junior class play, have started In this production, drama and com- edy have been skillfully blended to make a delightful story.

New Talent Found On Football Squad It would he Interesting to know how many people In C.H.S. are aware that Charlotte has a new combination of football players and cheerleaders. Pretty good they are. too. It seems the Charlotte side of the Battle Creek Central sophomore football game, Fri- day. October 20. was In dire need of a few yells, and had no one to fill the position of leaders. So these two very fine fellows. Ray Mohre and Ed. Hhamp. who always come to the res- cue Just in the nick of time, really gave out with “Come on. team, fight. It must have been very inspiring. At least the bystanders evidently thought so. because they applauded to such an extent that the luds gave them an encore of Yea. team, yeu. Perhaps the (toys have finally found their true calling.

You see. the Library club members shed their usual business like manner and for a short time stepped out of this world.” Ghost stories were the first order of business for the evening, and the girls came well equipped. The eerie effect was heightened by telling stories and singing outdoors by u fire. A treasure hunt from east to west and to the at- tic was one feature of the evening’s entertainment. A feature attraction was the horror chamber, under the supervision of goblins Shirley Pit longer. Elsie Shamp. Mary Mead and Beverly Cham- berlain. More entertainment was furnished by ducking for apples and fortune telling, after which the guests played “Murder.” Even ghosts get hungry It seems, so they retired again to the fire where doughnuts and cider were served and more ghost stories were told As you have no doubt surmised, a very spooky time was had by all.

Orioles Meet Eaton Rapids Armistice Day Old Time Rivals to Play On Local Field at 2:30; Parade Before Game Plach year about this time, finds students, faculty, and residents of Charlotte looking forward to the big game with their rivals, the Eaton Rapids Islanders. During the past sixteen years Charlotte has won six games. Eaton Rapids, nine, and one contest ended in a tie with a score of Ci. The following are results of games between the two cities for the past ten years: Year Orioles Islanders 1934 4 12 '35 6 0 '36 12 6 '37 0 12 '38 m i 8 ’39 4 24 '40 0 13 41 4 i '42 14 0 '43 4 13 ’44 » Eaton Rapids, so far this year, has lost only one game, that to Hastings. 13-0. and has won five. Up to the pres- ent time Charlotte has been fortunate In winning all six games that have been played this season. In an Interview with Coach Malcolm Gobel. It was learned that six boys In the probable starting line-up and three in the reserves will be playing their last game for Charlotte. November 11. The regulars are R. Mohre. Gresso. Pray. Fuller. Beechler. and Schneck- enberger; the reserves are Shamp. Jr. King, and Ackley. Our opponents have been steadily improving each week and will be tough to l»eat. stated the Coach. They have a couple of pretty rugged backfield line men in Jones and Carr. As accurately as it is possible to know this far in advance. Charlotte's starting lineup in the battle for the Til brown Jug will Ik as follows: Pray and Zimmerlee .............. ends Fuller and T. Martin ........ tackles Wolcott A Schneckenlierger.....guards Beechler ..................... center R. Mohre ................. quarterback Derby and Gresso ............halfbacks I». Moore ....................fullback It might be well to give here, for the Umefit of those who don't know, a little Information about the li'l brown Jug.” It was originated by a former C.H.S. coach. Kenneth Barn- hill. as a token to be given to the winning team in these annual con- tests. Friends say he always stated that he found it iu a junk pile and tixed it up. Coach Barnhill, an alum- nus of the local high school, was a member of the faculty from 1933 through 1935. A game with Battle Creek high school. September 17. 1S93. marked the beginning of football in Charlotte. Unfortunately that first game ended in a score of 12-0 In favor of Battle Creek. Celebrating a half century of football in Charlotte last year, the Orioles defeated Battle Creek Lake- view 20-7.
