It looked like a win for Charlotte, until Grand Ledge put on a 74 march for a touchdown, with just three minutes left in the contest. After making three straight first downs by pass plays, the Comets scored on a four yard pass from Tom Vandcrsteen to Mike Arm- strong. Grand Ledge failed for their extra point when the place- ment was made by Plunkett, as the ball sliced off to the right. This was a good break for the Orioles, because if the extra point had been converted. Grand Ledge would have won the game by a point.

It Isn’t So Hard 'Hey! What did you get on your report card?” “Three D’s. a C, and an E. What about you? “Pretty good, three C’s and a D.” We’ll probably hear plenty of such conversa- tions when the report cards are passed out to- day. Yes, it seems many of us don’t care much what kind of marks we get. If we can pull through, just barely passing, just barely enough subjects to get out, too many of us are satis- fied. Now this doesn't mean we should get our- selves a pair of glasses with half inch lenses and sit down to memorize all of our textbooks, but it would be a good idea if we paid a little more attention to our studies. Just about all of us will find that if we make good use of our time while in school, we won't have to spend too much time studying at home and we’ll be able to get good marks. There shouldn’t be any doubt as to whether or not it’s worth it to get good marks. A little piece of cardboard comes out every six weeks, and our folks almost always (it’s supposed to be always) get to see them. This alone is a pretty good reason for getting good marks. We shouldn't forget that our marks in high school are going to mean a lot towards what kind of a job we ll be able to get in later life. So come on, now, let’s give it a try. It isn’t so hard to get good marks and it really pays off big. Let’s have our answer to what we got on our report cards run about like this next time: “Terrible, three A’s, a B, and a C”. Let’s Dance! Music! Dancing! Eats! Fun! You'll find all of these things at the Friday night dances. What should we do without those get-to-gethers in the gym after an exciting and victorious game. Even after a loss it helps us to forget our troubles. It’s nice to have the visiting school come loo. In fact that’s where the boys meet those out- of-town “slick chicks”, and the girls those “bashful beaus.” What a chance for the alumni to come back to their good old alma mater and feel right at home with all their school-mates. It even gives them a chance to show off those college sweat- ers. Remember, parents like dances too. and they make good chaperons, so bring them with you next time. Yes, there is nothing like a dance with “hot- platters at C. H. S. on Friday night. No Soap! Halloween is a time set aside especially for young people, and we want you to have fun. Triek-or-Treat, destroying or misplacing pro- perty, and soaping windows is fun, but it’s not very considerate to other people. A party given by the Junior Chamber of Commerce will provide a lot of entertainment this Halloween. Refreshments will be served and there will be a dance. Let’s all turn out for this party and see what a swrell time we can have. In SincereJSympathy The students and teachers of Charlotte high wish to extend their deepest sympathy to the Gram family and to the Bergman family in their recent bereavement. 19 Ex tuts Thanks The class of '49 would like to extend thanks to all students and teachers of Charlotte high who helped make the junior magazine sales the success it was. Hold That Hemline! A ponderous problem has suddenly precipitat- ed itself upon the whole world! This bomb- shell burst in Paris with an explosion that is shaking the world. The trouble seems to be that hemlines have slipped, induced downward, no doubt, by the enticing new fashions in foot- wear. The dilemma upon which the human race has been thrust is concisely this: Should we or should we not raise or low'er our hemlines? The manufacturers tell us that the lengthen- ing of the hemlines will necessitate the use of 683,491,632 yards of fabric. If all this material were hemmed and suspended fourteen inches from the floor, it would make a hemline that would reach from Podunk to almost anywhere. People there probably need it more than we do here. In conclusion. I ask this question of every hemline conscious citizen of the world: Can w’e, in our present international crisis, afford a hemline 683.491,632 yards long? Charlotte High Band Not Alone in Fight for Uniforms Charlotte high band isn’t the only school which is trying to get new uniforms. In Albion high they are working for them too. Albion high students have been saving money for several years to buy new’ uniforms. They have been working hard on projects to earn money. This year they have two thousand dollars that has been saved up and one thousand dollars given by the school board. It is now possible for the band to secure new uniforms which will be red trimmed in white which are Albion colors. Mr. Richard Cornell, director of the band says, “The new uniforms will add a lot to the appearance of the band and will be an honor to wear.” Our band hasn’t been saving money for the last few years so nowT, the Band Boosters club and tlie student council will have to w ork hard in order to get new uniforms for the band this year. Charlotte high wants to be proud of its band as well as Albion or any other school. So let’s help in securing those uniforms. If The Song Fits Sing It The Lady From Tw’enty Nine Palms .............

Why I Read Books By Eunice Jones 1 am old euough to begin to think about Un- kind of a life I would like to lead after I finish high school. Because there are so many to choose from, I find it difficult to decide on a career. Many books tell of a person and his job, or of the kind of a life he lives. I can learn of many kinds of careers when I read books. I also find enjoyment and relaxation in read- ing a story about someone who leads an interest- ing life. Books help to make life more interest- ing when I find school becoming too much of a routine. When I need a friend, I can always find many new’ ones in a good book. These are some of the reasons why I read books. (This was a theme written by Eunice Jones for the ninth grade English class.) What They Notice First About Boys: Carol Norris .......
