Case of an Injured Student Who “done” it? It was on a dull, uneventful day in October as an innocent little girl trudg- ed unhappily along to class that a swarm of those mad students suddenly came thundering toward her. Quickly she was overcome and was trampled underneath the mob of on-rush- ing students. The poor girl was only a mass of crumbled bones lying in a deep stupor when she was discovered and quickly taken to the hospital. With the miraculous work of the doc- tors. she gradualy regained her former health. The moral is: Could this happen to you? But seriously, why don't we all pitch in and stop this mad dashing around in the halls. We've all noticed it a great many times and it really doesn’t look too good and besides it's dangerous. So. if we will all really try to help out. the halls can still retain that friendly atmosphere, typical of our school, but at the same time, they wouldn't seem nearly as rough and “rowdy.” Thanks. Hvtrurv! imvvtn I ins! Just where did the little gremlins come from that are taking advantage of the students in the library? Recently they are swarming about the tables and disturbing the students by drop- ping candy and gum wrappers around the chairs and tables. These gremlins start to work the minute our students step into the library by making them forget to sign roll and call for their cards. They even make some of the students lose their cards. Then after ali this, these imps still aren't satisfied until they've pulled half the books from the shelves and left them lying around on the tables. But when it comes to magazines, there’s where trouble really begins. They whisper in the students' ears merely to leaf through them, and not to read a single article. While the students are under this evil spell, they have to do what the gremlins tell them. Let's all try to get rid of these evil gremlins that have infested our library: shall we? Obtained From the Grapevine Marshall Juniors have picked the cast for their play. It will be about high school stud- ents and is called “Growing Pains. The re- hearsals have started already as the play will be given Thursday. November 29. Overheard in the hall: “You know, if you give these athletes an inch, they’ll take a foot.” “I know, but who wants athlete’s foot, any- how?” Western Michigan Herald Have you noticed how nice the band sounds? Thauks. Mr. Powell. Hey! What happened to those seniors? Well, it did look good to have them all dressed up for a change. The reason, as you all know. was because they had their pictures taken. If you happened to be one of those curiosity seekers around Mrs. Kiplinger’s room Thurs- day or Friday, you might have heard some- thing like this: “Be seated—erect, please—that's the stuff. J)o you ordinarily smile a broad smile? You do? Which do you prefer? Don't move! Click - - - - Excellent!! Now—sit this way. please. Just a little to the right. Now - - - smile. Say “white feathers , please. That's it—okay— that's all. Next - - ■ and so it went! Up and Down the Corridors What is this we hear about Milton Horn and a big blonde? ? ? ? How did Marilyn Wilmore go to the Hast- ings game Friday night? Did you notice how clean and shiny all the seniors were when pictures were taken? Change, wasn't it? How did all of the straw get in the hall? Could it be from the hay ride last Saturday night. Did you know that Ronald Brown was back in business selling rolls to the third hour class? Adv. Dave Adams and Joan are doing O-K on some of the hay rides that the kids have been having. Can't some people take a hint about having so many dates in one night? You know it might get to be a bad habit. Who is “Stinky ? Ask Don Hice. What did the photographer find in Mary Sanders' pocket when he took her picture a week ago Friday? Say. all you dignified (? seniors, what's the dope on that hay ride we've all heard so much about? Are flat tires good excuses? Ask Barb.” What do the boys discuss in physics class? Who was Cheney out with Saturday night? Could she also have an interest in Lansing? Is Wayne Holmes still a bashful little hoy? We have some pretty office girls this year, huh? Have you seen all the cute freshmen? Huffy is finally growing up- Which twin was it. Jackie? Phyllis Smallwood and Duane Nisse get along real well. Boy. are those new teachers ever pretty.

Western Michigan Herald A mother flea knows her children are going lo the dogs. Western Michigan Herald] Nutcrack Night??!! Beware! Soon it will be Nutcnuk Niglii when all the spirits are on earth! In northern England what we know as Halloween is Nut- crack Night. Centuries ago the pagans lielteved this to be the time when all the spirits came back to earth. Our Halloween customs are all relics of paganism. In England some young girls thought that if they performed certain rituals such as not eating any supper, or no' looking out the window, or anywhere else ex- cept straight in front of them, they would be able to see their future husbands at midnight in their mirrors. Probably lots of the fellows found a way of making their fnces appear in the mirror at the right time, perhaps by walk- ing on tiptoe behind the girls. In Cornwall, people still roast chestnuts in the belief that they will see their true Icvcs lurking around the Art. The Druids also had their harvest festival at Halloween time. , Halloween was originally the day set apart to honor the memory of all the suints. The name itself means Holy Eve: however in this country it doesn’t have that significance. Remember When — Derby and Bandfield kept Miss Holmes busy 7th hour? (Bad Boys) Mr. Anderson was band leader? Mr. Huston had his mud pie chemist? George Stucky and Bob Mohre worked for the city? (More yellow paint) The library was a study hall? .The Ivy’s were just juniors? (Wonder what Ivy stands for ?????) Shirley Pittenger had long hair? Sam Colizzi’s horse died the night before the sleigh ride? Eileen Pundik and Kenny Wooddell liked policemen, patrolling ones at that? Ronnie Monk was cheerleader? (Come on, yell ! ! !) Carolyn Field was never seen without Vir- ginia Shaw? Gas was rationed? Juniors had their lockers on second floor? Roberta Garvey, Barbara Parr, Cleone Smith, Doreen Thompson, and Marilyn Upright were- n’t seen together? There was a man shortage? The Orange and Black was printed on larger paper? Gordon Sparks and Delores Stanke were go- ing steady? Phyllis Goodrich was young and innocent? All the girls were running after Neil Zim- merlee? Joan Parker and Betty Montgomery had brown hair? (Could the sun have done this?) Merry Go Round With Names Can you imagine how you would feel If you found out your name was Peterson instead of Granstrom? This story goes back to 1898, when Janice's Grandfather Peterson came to Menominee, Michigan, from Sweden. Here in Menominee he found Peterson too common a name, and used the Swedish words Granstrom (beautiful stream), for his last name. This discovery was made a few weks ago. when Janice's uncle told the Granstrom fam- i y their true name is Peterson. But having gone this far. the Charlotte family will con- tinue being called Granstrom. Personal Mention Two new students are Audrainne Nagle, a sophomore. from Senn high in Chicago, and Bruce Nagle, a seventh grader, from the Swift, school there. On Monday. October 15. Mrs. Kiplinger was garbed in a bright red blouse. When asked why. she replied. “The hunting season begins today and one can’t be too careful.” The students of Charlotte high wish to express to Carlton Dornan their sympathy in the loss of his brother.

Everyone was yelling in the bleachers when the Cats came on the field. Next the Rats came out. Then the game started. Everytime a Rat was to make a touchdown, a Cat would eat the Rat. Soon all the substi- tutes for the Rats were gone and there wasn’t a complete team so the Cats won the game ----. I went to the I ansing airport and rented one of their planes one afternoon.

When the whale went under wrater. I went with it and there I saw a submarine. 1 climbed on it and got a ride back to New Y’ork. It happened that the sub- marine landed in New York on the day that Japan surrendered and so they shot off some of the guns.
