Everyone has fun that goes to high school and participates in all the school activities. We especially want the freshmen to have a good time while they are looking around the I building and finding their classes. If any of : you get mixed up about classes, school activ- : ities or anything that confuses you. just I ask anyone. Others will be glad to help you out. because they want you to have a swell i time this year and they want to help you all 1 they can. Naturally, everyone likes football games, so be sure not to miss even one. Don’t forget to cheer for the team and give them all the support they need, because It really is your team. So. don't let them down when they are trying to win a game for us. One good way to enjoy oneself is to think of the interests of others. Each person has some capacity, some ability, and has often put in hours of work to perfect his talent. To have the most satisfaction here, let's co-operate and learn to give everyone the best opportunity to do his utmost in every endeavor. We hope everybody's having fun and getting real satisfaction out of all his activities. A Pound of Cure The past three months have been the open season for poliomyelitis or infantile paralysis. Three of the 565 cases in Michigan since Jan- uary first, are in Eaton county. Approximately 250 of these were located in and around De- troit. mostly in the slum districts. The Mich- igan Department of Health reports that cases decreased in the last week. If any disease is prevalent in a school, all students should be particularly careful. Par- ents and teachers should watch for symptoms to prevent the disease from spreading. Re- member. an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. • off thv Mtunhs Xoir Girls come to the library and meet Recruit- ing Sergeant Mildred Iauch. She will use some of her seemingly never ceasing energy to persuade you into joining her group of librarian trainees. This is an experience which might prove invaluable to you at some future date. It also promises loads of fun and frolic with girls who have the same interests as you. So if your j interests lie anywhere near the field of books, stop by the library some vacant hour and -jee the “Recruiting Sergeant. Fashions os. Fads Flash! What is the smartly dressed girl wearing this year? New York stylists say that sloppy sweaters and baggy dungarees are strictly tal oo. Smartly fitted sweaters plus neatly pleated skirts make for the well-groom- : ed girl of '46. Wing sleeved dresses with mandarin collars I are considered “the thing” by the younger set. Last year the gayest fad was spending your whole week's allowance on dangling bracelets. This fad went out with a bang, probably, because the fairer sex got tired of carrying all that artillery around. The newest fad this year is getting a bottle of peroxide and a bottle of ammonia and pouring the mixture on your hair, letting the former run where it may. You may think this is very becoming, girls, but don't ever ask the opposite sex what they think about it—you may get a real shock —meaning they don’t. Did You Hear About? The senior girls who had a slumber party? Why everyone seems to like hay rides? (If there is any need for verification, see Bob Bandfield). A certain senior boy. who is going to indulge and buy some senior pictures to show off his dime-store bleach? The tall blond sophomore wolf who gives all the girls the glad-eye in fourth hour study hall? Why Barbara McGrath thinks bass horns are a jinx to her? (Better borrow a football helmet when the band practices marching, Barbara). A cute junior boy who asked two for a date at the same time? All the cute boys living in Marshall? How easy it is to become a blond nowadays? All the cute freshmen? How nice the seniors look when they dress up? X-Change Sing a song of sulphide A beaker full of lime Four and twenty test tubes Breaking all the time When the cork is taken out Fumes begin to reek. Isn't that an awful mess To have five times a week? The .Trojan Trumpet. Typing vs. Basketball Mrs. Lipsey and Miss Holmes are very pleas- ed with the new equipment in the typing room. During the summer the room was painted and the typewriters were repaired. All the typewriters have new covers and books. It is easy to see how much use industrious students have for the large waste baskets. Now. boys, you can keep in practice for basket- ball and not get paper all over the floor. The Starr Commonwealth News has been received. Six copies will be printed this year. It is a very interesting little magazine and it has all the latest news. Seniors, Click! Look pretty. Don’t over dress.” “Watch for the birdie.” No. spring has not arrived but it seems the seniors have been having their pictures taken. Between the times Mr. Field’s camera was broken (?) and the schedules were changed and rechanged, one wondered if the work would ever be finished. By starting early it is planned to have the photos by Christmas so that all friends can share the misery. Mr. Huston: “What is the most potent poi- son?

Maxine Pratt knows that it won’t be wasted. Joe Holmes' hayride was enjoyed by all who went. Can any class beat the record of Miss Wesche's second hour, tenth grade English class? Its members maintained a perfect at- tendance record for the first three weeks of school. Are Mr. Evald Johnson’s recent smiles just because he is happy to return to Charlotte schools? Miss Eva Jeanc Kiplinger may know the answer.
