The three candidates who were introduced in auditorium on Wednesday, Feb. 6, were of equal merit and consequently competion and excitement ran high throughout the day. The candidates were each announced by a student sponsor. Betty Meyer introduced Betty Trimble, Sammie Bethea introduced Richard Lawson, and Bob Gisler told us of Joe Bird's particular merits. Each gave a short speech, urging the votes of the students for one particular person. Balloting revealed that Joe Bird, of section 8-5, was the choice of the students. Everyone feels that the students have selected wisely and that Joe will live up to the standard set by the past presidents. 7-1 Entertains Section 7 report a very interesting program for February 5. The committee who gave the program were Myer Sigal, chairman, Richard Ezzard and Robert Gisler. The first number on the program was “La Cinder", a selection on the piano by Beulah Laverty, “The Novelty Waltz," a piano solo was given by Fred Mauer. The last number was a one act play given by Myer Sigal and Richard Ezzard. Bobby Denney: No girl ever made a fool out of me. Roland Parker; Well, who did then? Miss Freeman Visits school Through the courtesy of the Orlando, Ice Dealers Association, Cherokee students were fortunate in hearing Miss Freeman speak last week on the subject "Refrigeration." In her talk, she pointed out the benefits of a good ice-box and how food is affected when kept in a poor one. Some of the point which Miss Freeman stressed in her lecture were that a refrigerator should have good circulation, that food could not be preserved at a temperature over 60 degrees fahrenheit, that an ice box should be washed with cold water rather that warm, and that food should never be set out of the ice box very long. In the course of her lecture she pointed out that foods having a smell, such as cheese, should be kept on the top shelf of the ice box, so as not to transfer it to the other foods. This information was gladly received and greatly enjoyed by the students and teachers. Mr. Westover Enjoyed The students had a great time while Mr. Westower entertained with some very clever stunts and tricks in auditorium, Wednesday, February 6, Mr. Westower came to Cherokee last year and is a great favorite with everyone Cherokee is eagerly anticipating his next visit. Pictures of Mount Vernon and Washington, D.C. adorn the bulletin board in honor of our famous presidents, Washington and Lincoln, whose birthdays are this month. This was a project of the Student Council of last semester. The Cher-O-Key _______________________________________________________ SPORTS Girls and boys alike are preparing for their basketball tournaments.

March 15 Basket Hall Final (Double-Header) April 5 Annual TrackMeet May 17 Baseball Final _________________________________ Indian Summer A silken curtain skies, And half conceals from pensive eyes The bronzing tokens of the tall; A calmness broods upon the hills, And summer's parting dream distils A charm of silence over all. The stacks of corn, in brown array, Stand waiting through the tranquil day, Like tattered wigwams on the plain; The tribes that find a shelter there Are phantom peoples, forms of air, And ghosts of vanishing joy pain. At evening when the crimson crest Of sunset passes down the West, I hear the whispering host returning On far off-fields, by elm and oak. I see the lights, I smell the smoke, --- The Camp-fires of the Past are burning. _____________________________ HUMOR Miss Graham: Do you think it is correct to say, "He summers in the country?" Howard Davis: Why not? You can say, “He falls in the mud" or "he springs in the water." _______________________________ History teacher: What is meant by the “Spoils System?" Paul Dowd: Well, Jackson gave his friends positions and it spoiled them. ________________________________ The class composition was on "Kings" and this is what one boy wrote: The most powerful king on earth is Wor-king, the laziest, Shir-king, one of the worst kings is Smo-king; the wittiest, Jok-king; the quietest, Thin-king; the thirstiest, Drin-king, the silliest, Win-king, and the noisiest, Tal-king ________________________________ Mr. Thompson: How did that aviator get killed? Mr. Meyer. He had a sudden sinking spell. Who’s Who Contest Section 8-I held a "who's who’ contest in home rome recently. Sally Fletcher, Gladys Cassel and Howard Davis took the lead. The winners in this contest have been placed on an attractive poster, which is on the bulletin board near the front entrance. The poster was made by Athlone Williams. _________________________________ �The Cher-O-Key _______________________________________________________ CLUB NEWS Students made their selection for second semester clubs Tuesday and attended the club of their choice Fliday.

The Cher-O-Kay is sponsoring a contest. This is absolutely something new in the line of a contest at Cherokee, The idea originated with the journalism club when the members were madely writing verse—or worse—to fill up the columns of the paper. Limerick writing became the rage in one short period. The club wants the students to join in the spirit of the hour. The person writing the best limerick involving the idea of Cherokee and "The Cher-O-Key" will receive an issue of every Cher-C-Key free until June. The contest is on. Limericks may be submitted to room to; for a period of one week, ending Friday, March 1st. The winner will be announced in the next issue of the Cher-O-Key. We submit the following limerick as an example of our art: We now have a president Bird; They say he's the very “last word" He's short but he's smart, Campaigns with art, He's Cherokee's president the third. ___________ EDITORIAL BOARD Editor-in-chief Ruth Wetherington Associate Editor Robert Cox News Editors Jean Pettay Takoohy Topakian Society Editor Martha Ruth Rathburn Literary Editor Robert Boggs Sport Editor Charles Rinehart Joke Editor Richard Marriman Circulation Donald Young Faculty Sponsor Miss Henderson Exchange Editor Bob Williams ___________________________________ EDITORIALS It has been brought to the attention of the administrative board at Cherokee that students have become careless in their use of the property of other people. This building, and its equipment, which is a monument to education in our city, has been given to all of us, not to any one of us. Nor is it ours alone, but it also belongs in part to the students who will follow us when we are in higher Institutions of learning. Will our future citizens at Cherokee wish to enter a defaced building, whose walls have been marted with pencils, whose exterior still bears the sign of dusty erasers, and whose desks are scratched and marred? These questions we should consider seriously when we feel inclined to make numerous little destructions that seem a part of our nature. Decidely we have the most beautiful building in the city. Let us strive to keep it “The School Beautiful" in its picturesque setting "The City Beautiful" ___________ Many interesting exhibits have been put on by the schools of Orlando at the Fair Grounds, Let s visit these on our holiday Friday The new staff of the "Cher-o-key" will be announced in the next edition.

Cherokee was handicapped in that three of her team were ineligible and she played six men against Memorial's nine. However, the game was played in good spirit between the two schools, and Cherokee commends the spirit of her team. Christmas Eve (Continued from page three) again, I'll stay here. Billie. All right.

The great musical event of the season will be staged tonight. Students have heard “Once in a Blue Moon" discussed so much that they will not want to miss the chance of seeing it. Those who have witnessed preliminary performances bear reports of a delightful entertainment, brim full of comedy, sparkling with romance, tingling with mystery, which is interspersed with brilliant choruses and solos. The setting is said to be both gorgeous and picturesque. [Illegible] ters around the theme of a young man, George Taylor, who substitutes for a college friend of his at a week-end party. While there, he falls in love with Silvia, his chum's boyhood sweetheart. One night during a dance a robery [sic] takes place. Suspicion turned on George who is forced to disclose his identity. Things look dark for him until—well, the end is too good to disclose. Come and see it.

Last year Cherokee won the prize for selling the most seals of any school in Orange County. Students are hard at work again this year and Cherokee hopes to win again. The prize this time will be something amounting to sixty dollars, or perhaps that amount in cash, instead of the usual prize of a pair of scales. Present indications show that we have a good chance to win again this year. At least, we hope to beat the record of $150, which we set last year. Who’s Who If you wish to know Who's Who? at Cherokee in scholarship, just glance over the following names. Ruth Lerch received all A's on her report card last time.

Faith serene and invincible. Every worthwhile human achievement since has been in some measure based upon Faith. The professional man, the captain of finance and industry, the artist,the craftsman at his task --all need Faith to carry on successfully. Thus the true spirit of the Christmas Season is evidenced best by the expression of Faith in our fellow-men, and in the worthwhile things which have helped in our development. Merry Christmas (Edna Yacobian,7-7) “Merry Christmas, everybody!" Someone's yelling, feeling gay “Santa's been to visit me, Let's all be happy this day.” “Look at your presents everyone” And in your stocking too-- For if you had what I now have You surely wouldn’t be blue.

A Prayer (Gloria white, 9-5 ) Lord, let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder To the faults of my fellow students. Let me praise a little more.

Mary's kneeling by his side, Joseph keeps watch by the doorway, When within three wisemen glide. As the wise men kneel before Him, The Child's blue eyes open wide, And, with a smile of wonderous [sic] beauty He seems to bless those by His side, As upon that Christmas evening, The birth of our Christmas day.
