Let’s Get On The Beam Jingle! Jingle! listen to the pennies, nickles and dimes. All this change we have, should be going to finance equipment for our great armed services. This money that is invested in war stamps and bonds, helps to buy some of the following things: hospital planes, jeeps, tanks, planes, and other equipment that our ! oys need to bring them home more quickly. Our l»oys need all the help we can give them, so let’s get behind them, and furnish the equipment or whatever it is they need. We wouldn’t feel right if we knew we were letting the fighting men down, would we? The American saying is to l se the equipment and save the lioys.' We have tables in the lower halls of both senior and junior high. When we go by. let’s reach down in our pockets and bring out all the change we can possibly spare. The 6th War Loan Drive is coming in November. We can all show our pen- nies. nickles. and dimes then, but we can do a lot before, by buying stamps each Tuesday. So far the junior high has lH on way a head of the senior high in sales. Come on. senior high, let’s do something about it! Ban-Tones Boom Boom! Boom! Drum section, reed section, brass section, and. last but not least, the bass drum- mer making as much racket as it is humanly pos- sible to make every fifth hour. Students in study hall put cotton in their ears and wonder if the l and absolutely must practice on the field behind the school: tired night-shift workers, peacefully slumtiering in neighboring homes groan and decide they didn’t want to sleep anyway. But oblivious to these facts, the band goes on drilling, playing, and improving, led by the drum majors und majorettes and aided by the director. Yes. improving each day. Griping liecause it’s too hot or too cold to march and practice, but en- joying it Just the same. As a result of their work, have you noticed the animated letters they’ve been using in formations or the spiral they executed at the first home football game? Pull the cotton out of your ears. kids, and put on your glasses liecause there is more in store for the future! Tattle Tales What will Bev do now that Ned has gone liack | to Flint? Were Sul and Ray waiting for the fire or was it accidental that they happened to be there? A Hastings class ring and a sweater—Mary Jane Webb and Frances (Mark.

Gordy Sparks and Pat Dean. Where does Mary find all the girls for her parties? They aren't from Charlotte? What held Carol Tharp’s Interest so firmly in fifth hour high room. Oh—was she cute! Mr. Muma never fails to spring a gov't test 3rd j hour. Ask Phyllis Goodrich about her diamond. Minstrel show was pretty good. The girls cer- tainly looked natural. Charlotte was really buzzing one Saturday night with ull the parties and such. Why have two Senior girls been calling Don Moore Casanova Jr. ? Could lie he tries to crowd too much into one evening. The orchestra’s aliout ready to lie presented, isn't , it. Mr. Anderson. Personal nomination for one of the prettiest girls in Charlotte high school. Joan Kersletler. Mury Lou Terwllliger and Pat Shicls must la» popular. They were In Behrens Rowe with eight escorts one Sunday. Oh Zim! That blonde in second hour study hall. Isn’t it too bad that all boys can't be like Bob I Ladd? Rings seem to lie the latest fad. Competition between Betty and June to sec who I can get Junior away from Colleen. Have you ever noticed Bev. Murtln's long eye lashes? It'8 generally known that Vern and Venice had a pretty good time Saturday night. Don’t forget the dance Saturday night after the Eaton Rapids game. Shall It Be Droop Drapes Or Glad Rags? Don't bother to take your pajamas off in the morning, girls. What is the use of dressing for school? In the long run you will look just as well in pajamas as slacks, or sloppy skirts, and those big shirts you've liorrowed from dud. Why bother to do your hair up. for short fat pigtails don't take so much time and they really look glamorous (?) If you haven’t time to make pigtails, then wrap a turban around your dome and leave your hair like that for the day. Sloppy skirts, slacks, and messy hair styles, plus too much or not any make up attract loads of attention (That’s what you think) ! ! What's the mutter with our school? It's beginning to look like a circus, with a bunch of daffy clowns. Come on. girls, off with those silly droop-drapes and put on a few girls' clothes for a change. We'd like to know if you really could look sensible and attractive. By the way. boys, how aliout you waking up a little too? You're beginning to look almost as pre- posterous as the females. How aliout your slicking up your hair a little, and donning a few glad rags, in place of your baggy clothes? Think it over, kids. Faculty Facts Are you really acquainted with your teachers? Do you know their hobbies or secret ambitions? Most of you know what the faculty look like, where they’re from and so on. but do you observe their little mannerisms and sayings? For instance, how much of the following are you familiar with? Mr. Huston says his hobby is reading and that he does quite a bit of it. He revealed a secret de- sire to be a hardware merchant, and works in such a store on the week ends. My gracious” is a favorite saying of Mrs. Kip- llnger. Of her many hobbles music ranks first: she makes a habit of memorizing some verse or skit each day. and enjoys cooking very much. BOYS Come in and buy those winter coats and jackets, before you go to that football game. VOMBERG’S Non's Sense...

Oil Where Oh Where This might well Ik the mourning cry of many students right here in Charlotte. Other towns and communities have had trouble with ring worm and we are fortunate not to have any more than we do. We have all seen the grade school children wear- ing caps or scarfs to school so as not to catch this disease. This is being done merely to keep this menace from spreading and the younger students have co-operated very well. Now, more than before. lH cuuse of the extra strain on everyone, a contagious diseuse is very unwelcome. Help to keep It from spreading; co- operate with rules and restrictions. Such a habit as borrowing some one’s comb is always a had habit. tat’s do our part to help counteract this disease and all others. Remember When... Colleen Royston had such a beautiful friendship with Miss Allison (crash! bang!)? The girls didn't masquerade as hobos everyday? Mr. Bilbie hid in his closet from the seventh grade (’ominandos ? Irene Livingston and Duane Nlsse didn’t go to- gether? There wasn't a man shortage! ! All the boys were J. C. S. A.’s? Glen Whitinger was a shy. young boy? We had the Stardusters?

Seniors were wild, innocent freshmen? Mr. Hill had fifth hour high room? Dick Schneckenberger went steady with Mary Lou? Largest class enrollment was eighth hour? All the senior Iwys had old Jnlopys? There wasn't a MohTe on the football or Imskct- ball team? Barb Bradley hnd to dust Mrs. Weymouth's room every morning lM fore school, (penalty for skipping school) ?

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. After three weeks of practice, the play is shaping up under the direction of Miss Kath- ryn Wesche. Scheduled for November 21. the play will be given the previous after- noon for grade school students at the price of 9c. Parents who are unable to attend the evening performance will be given this opportunity to sc- the play at the regular evening admis- sion price of 48c. 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.
