And with the help of every student in school they will get them. It's going to mean hard work to raise $4,000 by the end of the year, but Charlotte high can do it. How much more spirit there is at a foot- ball game with the band marching down the field in smart uniforms playing the school song. The band is something you want to be proud of . Sure, you say. “The uniforms look all right to me.” but for eleven years they have been in hard and constant use and are wearing out fast. They may look all right to you. but they can't last for another year. Charlotte has always had one of the best class B bands in Michigan. They have taken a first-rating at the Holland tulip festival for seven years straight. That’s something to be proud of. That orange and black band march- ing down the field represents you and Char- lotte. Now you wouldn't be proud to see your band in shabby and torn uniforms, would you? Back up the band by telling your parents about the band uniform fund, and urge them to join the Band Boosters club which is heading the project. Come on, let's show our school spirit by letting the band know we are behind them. Fun Ahead for New Students It’s good to be back, we’ll have to admit, be- cause we all know that school is really a lot of fun if we give it a chance to be. There are ever so many things to take part in this year, football and basketball games, dances, hay- rides. track meets, class and club parties, dif- ferent organizations to join, the journalism car- nival. and assemblies, to mention just a few. To you who are new students, there's the ex- perience of meeting new people and getting ac- quainted with them, and an equal chance to par- ticipate in the many school activities through- out the year. You new students have the op- portunity of being able to build up the kind of reputation you can be proud of. and many are even elected class officers or chairmen of or- ganizations because of that. At the games we need you alongside us help- ing to back our teams and give them the sup- port they deserve. We oldsters welcome you, and we’ll be glad to help you in any way we can. We sincerely hope you'll have as much fun here as we. and will enjoy being here as much as we enjoy hav- ing you. And that you’ll help us make this truly a school to be envied. We were washing dishes with Swan, and all at once sis started putting bread crumbs in the dish pan. I asked her why? . She replied she was feeding the Swan. Did you know that there is a Roger Smith in the ninth and in the eleventh grade and that there are two Robert Johnsons in the eighth grade? Did you know that there are six Johnsons, six Kings, six Roystons, and nine Smiths in senior high? Offirerit For Student council Mayor ............... Richard Hutchison Secretary ................

It’s confusing to think about what the well dressed C. H. S. lass will w'ear next. Since dresses are at such a “low ebb. when the cold wind starts to whip, smart girls will probably put on-----oh. maybe red flannels to keep their legs warm. They will do this think- ing that the four or five inches of red peep- ing out between the hem and big fuzzy bobby- sox will go unnoticed. It will be a different story though when spring breathes its warm air again. It seems that fall styles were designed for protection against ”01’ Man Winter,” so maybe spring styles will change for comfort in sweating weather. It wouldn’t be at all surprising if in May the “hall-talkers” see a youthful beauty walk through the door in a blue bathing suit, with high-heeled red pumps to add a dressy touch. Oh gosh, but the fashion future is frightening! Have You Noticed? That Mr. Powell traded in his “old Chev for a new Chrysler? (Could it be he wanted a big- ger car?) How many cute freshmen there are this year? Overalls and sloppy shirts are disappearing? Iris Gorrie's cheerful “Hi”? How hard the juniors worked to sell maga- zines? How proud Mr. Brennan is? How many girls are taking Spanish and Latin? (Could it be because of the new teacher?) Remember When? John Odell wras a bachelor? Shirley Parr didn't wear a '47 sweater? Winfield Pardee didn’t give band demerits? Mrs. James Durner was Miss Kathryn Taffee? Russ Santee didn't go steady? Melody was not a Mrs.? Congratulations! Mr. and Mrs. Neil Brennan are the proud parents of a baby boy. Paul Gaynor. He was born Wednesday, September 17 at 7:39 p. m. and weighed eight pounds. fffl N Off Joanne Willard, that well-known, attractive, senior girl, was chosen as secretary of the stu- dent council. She has dark eyes und brown hair and may be seen, at all times, with Mary Ixw or Bob. when he is home from Alma Col- lege. Coming to Charlotte in the fourth grade. Joanne has l een very active in many different clubs and organizations since. She is a member of the Y- Teens, Job’s Daughters, Dramatic Club, and has been a popular cheer leader since her ninth grade. She likes to eat chicken and mash- ed potatoes and her favorite pastime is danc- ing. Her preference in sports is watching football, although she enjoys them all. Joanne is very studious and she says journal- ism is her choice subject this year. Red. which is very becoming to her, rates highest in her choice of colors. This senior was chosen for this office for such outstanding characteristics as friend- liness, courtesy, ability to get along with others, but most of all. her capability for carrying out her duties. Good luck. Joanne Willard. Richard Hutchison, that intellectual and popular senior l oy. was elected mayor of the school. Richard, better known as Dick, is al- ways seen with Pat or Dick King. He entered Charlotte high in the ninth grade and has l cen active in many things during his four years. He is a mem- ber of the Hi-Y and Footlighteers. Hunting is his favorite sport and as a hobby he likes to tear his car apart once in a while. He is very fond of swiss steak and mashed potatoes. Light blue rates first as his color. For entertainment Dick enjoys going to the show. When asked what his favorite subject was. he said he en- joyed physics. Dick was chosen as mayor for many of his outstanding qualities such as independence, kindness, and the ability to carry out the duties of a mayor. Hats off. to a good man. New Money in Old Ties About a year ago Peter Kardel sent to his very conservative cousin in Denmark, two lies of a very dull nature. They were so plain that he never had worn them since his father had “handed down the ties to him. Peter forgot all al out them until last week at which time he received a letter from his cou- sin who had been studying in Paris during the past summer. Hans. Peter’s cousin, became very short of cash for living expenses and was sorely pressed by a certain Count Richamond to sell his alluring ties. Hans very generously parted with the ties for a very sizable sum. Now Hans would like to have some more of those un- wanted American ties. Weakly Laughs Mr. Fredenburg: This meat tastes terrible.” Mrs. Fredenburg: Why. that’s funny. 1 burnt it, but 1 applied Unguentine immediately. Pretty Patient: Doctor, what would you say to a girl who is so nervous that she jumps into the arms of the nearest man when she is frightened?” Doctor: “Boo!” Mrs. Kiplinger: How do you spell Infantile Paralysis?” Dexter Griffin: P-O-L-I-O.” From Tomahawk Mrs. lauch: (To senior class) We need some- one who is good In arithmetic as treas- urer.” Sam Colizzi: (also to class) “Yes. some girls are better at figures than letters!”
