Men Teachers Organize For Better Understanding So that they may become better acquainted with each other, the men teachers have formed an or- ganization in which they may find social entertainment at various times. With Mr. Amaden as a so-called program director, a plan has been divised so that, generally about once a month, a meeting, together with a dinner will be sponsored by arious of the fourteen teachers. On special occasions, they hope to go out for dinner and at times do tome bowling and engage in other such activities. The group has no officers, rules or regulations but looks forward to some happy times. The next get together will Ik at the home of Mr. Dykhouse with Mr. Mead and Mr. Lykhouse as hosts. Hearing Test Results Results of the hearing tests as compiled from the offices of Prin- cipal Clark Muma. are favorable. Eight-hundred-forty-two students, isnging from the fourth through the twelfth grades, have taken this screening test sponsored by the State Health Department in co- operation with Eaton County Health Department.

ORIOLE BAND ATTENDS HIGH SCHOOL BAND DAY (Continued from page 1) Each band went through its formations to warm up, starting at 10:30. Then the bands were group- ed together and rehearsed the two numbers they were to play as a mass group before the game. There w'ere 387 musicians in this group. Lunch was served in the Union Cafeteria at 11:45. Charlotte, Cold- water, Three Rivers. Paw Paw. and Three Oaks were to present their formations beginning at 12:45. However, because of rain. Char- lotte was unable to present its part. For the same reason, the mass band had to be called off. Although there was heavy rain and snow', the weather cleared enough by the half to enable Grand Haven and Kalamazoo Central to perform their formations as origi- nally planned. It was decided to have Char- lotte’s formations and the mass band after the game, but the weather turned bad again and the plans had to be dropped.

It has been a long time since the end of the war. Already we are forgetting the devotion of those boys who gave the supreme sacrifice. We remember it as we look at plaques and memorials to those honored dead, but are we really living for the thing they died for? Do we students take a less selfish attitude toward other people? The war came about as a result of selfishness of men and nations. Do we take more interest in our government, school life, home life, church, and our Ameri- can institutions? If we will take inventory of our lives and determine to show appreciation of the ideals of our country by living lives of unselfishness, we shall make a much happier school, com- munity. and world. Let us pledge that we will not forget the high principles that those students, who left Charlotte high school never to return again, died to preserve for us. Hvlpliivlpl Sometimes students return to their lockers to find something of value missing. So they run up to Mr. Muma's office to report it. When asked if their lockers were locked, they stam- mer Uh. Uh. No.” Naturally nothing can be done about it. The locks are provided for protection of property and to remove temptation. Let's lock them, and help everyone to be good. Going Hunting Teachers' Tags Have you ever wondered if the teachers had nicknames when they were in school? We asked some of the teachers and this is what we discovered: Mr. Amaden - - - “Ace” Mr. Stall - - “Single Barrel Miss Holmes - - - “Dode” Mrs. Kiplinger - - “Curly” Mr. Powell .... “Pete Miss Wells .... “Win” Gleefully do I look back on boys I have liked in a certain way. And what I ever saw in them is more than I can say. —By Vivian Sloan Dick Tracy Lil’ Orphan Annie Smiling Jack Joe Palooka Donald Duck Dag wood Brenda Starr Andy Gump Boots Wonder Woman Jungle Jim Katzenjammer Kids - Alley Oop Superman Minnie Mouse Right Around Home - Little Herby Me Too Lyle Sumerix Pat Dean Bob Casler Don Stewart Sam Colizzi Hale Harrington Barbara McKeag Joe Depue Frances Gould Marilyn Hetherington Dan Dickinson Sam and Bob Baiulfield Doug Mulholland Billy McKeag Mabel Robins Journalism Room Milford Mason Lloyd Braithwaite See Ya in the Funnies One fine winter morning I got out of bed and looked out the window. I thought it would be a nice morning to go hunting, so I got dressed, ate my breakfast, and went to the pantry to get my 20 gauge shotgun and some shells. After I had everything ready I started out. The first place I started for was the neigh- bor’s woods. When I got into the woods the first thing I saw was a little fox squirrel, but he was too far away to shoot. He would have been too small anyway. I kept on going until I came to an icy pond, so I had to cut around it. I then crossed a wide road that led into a large field along the fence. There were some trees and bushes and in between the trees I could see a large cock pheasant. I guess 1 saw him at the same time he saw me. because he hurried out of the trees so he could fly. I raised the gun. pulled the safety According to the latest survey among the girls, this is what the ideal boy should possess. 1. Have a car. 2. Be pleasant. 3. Have a car. 4. Be congenial. 5.

Susie? Pooie’s heart always beats harder in sixth hour study hall. Could it be because of Carl? Have you noticed the new desk in Mr. Muma's office? Gertie inherited his old one. David Bradley tells Mrs. Taylor it's hard to write with the left hand. How about it, left- handers? What couple occupy the farthest table in library first hour? Could It be love? Are Joyce Walker and Gordon Johnson going together or aren’t they? Does Judson go with Peggy or Phyllis? We'd like to know. Have you ever noticed how cute Shirley Hicks is? How many of you sophomore girls have ever noticed how handsome Gayland Williamson is? After practice the football boys seem to have an appetite when they stop at Durbin’s. Watch them some time. Marion Wood can't make up her mind. Will it be Bob or Joe? When Mickey and Hans were asked if they had fun at the National Convention, they said O boy”. 1 took her to a night-club; I took her to a show; I took her almost everywhere A boy and girl could go.
