While stationed in Honolulu, she spent much of her free time at the beaches swimming and at- tempting to ride the surf board as the Hawaiians do. Sometimes she did some underwater fishing with goggles and small spears. A means of transportation was the jeep and it took some time to get u ed to the bouncing of one. While in Honolulu, she lived at Pearl Harbor where could be seen ships, dumaged from battle come in for repair. Sometimes she was invited aboard a destroyer for din- ner. The most thrilling experience she had was going aboard the Shangri-La which is the largest aircraft carrier in the world. The former Spar is a graduate of Charlotte high school and Al- bion college.

Wayne Homes as mayor heads the council with Mrs. Weymouth and Mr. Muma as ad- visers. Last spring, representa- tives from each class were chosen with the exception of seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. They waited to allow rural students to participate. The student council has reached the following decis- ions: All petitions for dances are to be handed to some member of the council. Dance committees are to see the chairman of recreation committee, Keith Frey. When there is no football game, junior high students will be allow- ed to attend dances until 10:30. The Youth Center will be allow- ed to submit petitions to sponsor a dance once a month. This may be done providing there is room on the schedule after the various clubs and classes have had first choice. New Teacher Comes Mrs. Grace Smith comes to Char- lotte high school from Wacousta.

In Charlotte high school mourns the loss of Phyllis Jones. She was in the eighth grade, a very good student, co-operative and al- ways willing to help others. Phyllis was an unusual person, very quiet, and had a very creative mind, especially for writing unusual and interesting stories. She was a member of the Campfire Girls. Her favorite pastimes were collecting shells, bugs and butterflies, and dolls. Phyllis loved animals and had quite a col- lection of them. She sang in the choir at the Methodist Church. All will miss this friendly, likeable girl. Where Do We Go from Here? What is it that everyone looks forward to at the beginning of every year? Sports, of course! By this interest we develop school spirit and good sportsmanship. Everyone has his special field of sports, and his favorite school athletes, who make this field especially interesting. Without these athletes there just wouldn’t be any sports. So let's all wish them the best of luck to a victorious year, which was started by winning the first game with Lakeview. Attendance at the first game was good and our cheering warmed up a bit as the game progressed. Remember, though, to go with all efforts out to back up the team by showing pep and school spirit that we know we have. Get busy, and buy the rest of those activity tickets and show our team just what we think of them. There are five hundred ninety-six students in junior and senior high together. How about seeing at least ninety percent at every home game? Obtained From the Grapevine Pontiac high school radio workshop is going to give two radio shows a week this year. One will be for the kindergarten and first first grade children, and the other for older elementary grades. The characters in these programs will be played by the students. A third show will be put on by three Pontiac high schools. This program is to be a teen-age show, and is being organized and will be produced by a Pontiac high school girl, and will be given over station WCAR. It will consist mostly of musical numbers. You never can tell about a woman. You shouldn’t anyhow. Western Michigan Herald Buses Furnish Rural Transportation Over 100 Students Ride To School on New Buses Look, that sailor’s eating a candy bar”, “Wow! look at that handsome conductor , and Hey, that soldier waved at me are a few of the various remarks that may be heard when the number one bus has to wait for the 4:00 o’clock passenger train. Another favorite pastime of those dignified (?) senior girls is to smear lipstick on certain freshmen. No harm done and everybody happy. For the first time Charlotte public schools are using buses for the purpose of transport- ing rural students to school. The board of education has purchased three, a Reo. an International, and a Chevrolet. The Reo is an old bus with a new body and has a capacity of thirty-five. The other two are new and have a capacity of forty-eight. The drivers are Burr Murdick. Max Griffin and John Myers. Mr. Murdick has the route north of Charlotte: Mr. Myers, the one west of town, and Mr. Griffin's route goes east and south. Willis Beebe is substitute driver. Mr. McCall, superintendent of Charlotte schools reports. There are over one hundred riders now and there will probably be more after the football season closes.” The Hubbard school has closed and is send- ing all of its students to Charlotte. The South- worth is sending the seventh and eighth grades and other schools are sending some students. According to Mrs. Leora Weymouth, junior high principal, the following rural stu- dents are attending the Charlotte seventh and eighth grades: Rose Alfonso. Mary Boyer. Douglas Brummett. Calton Dornan. Donna Hambleton. Conrad Hausler. Rosetta Howard. Joe Papranec. Betty Riley. Dorothy Stadel. Gaylord Royston. Bob Thompson. Alex Felder. Florence Felder, and Dolores Felder. The buses average about sixty-five miles a day. Up and Down the Corridors Have you noticed Mickey Gooche’s cute, trickey dimples? What’s this strange romancing popping up between Martha Rochester and Billy Joe Day? (Rides In No. 3 bus) Who is the cutest senior girl In C. H. S.? (Ask Mrs. Lipsey) Wonder what last year’s seniors are doing now? What is the strange book Marjorie Freed is so interested in? Seems that Dobbratz and Loucks are right on the beam nowadays. How could it have happened that Russ San- tee’s motorcyle ran out of gas three times when taking Mary Lou Terwilliger for a ride? (Poor excuses are better than none.) Ask Barbara Lewellyn what a hayride is? Hasn’t Pat Shiels a cute laugh? Oh what the Marines do to a man! Ask June Lerch and Rosemary Raines. Wonder what Lou Ann Potter’s interest is in Potterville. (could it be another man?) Pauper—A way of saying father. School Directory Student Council Mayor: Wayne Holmes Secretary: Susan Stucky Council members— Senior: Roberta Garvey.

These are replies: Connie Alfonso— I like musical assemblies and home talents are all right, too. Donna Scovill— I think there should be more movies and plays.” John Loucks and Tom Treloar. seniors, like comedy skits and musical assemblies. Sue Ann Hale, a new eighth grade student, likes plays and musical assemblies. Beverly Chamberlain— 1 like outside tal- ent. Richard Johnson, ninth grade— I like plays and movies.” Bruce Bumford— I like all of them.” James Brown— I like plays the best. Roger Brend and Dick Hoover, eighth grad- ers. like musical assemblies. From the seventh through the twelfth grade the majority like plays, musical, and home talent assemblies. It is now up to the classes and organizations to give the students the kind they want.
