Thursday, March 10, 1922 THE ILLITERATE INDIGEST HI-Y HOLDS MEETING-FREE-FOR ALL FIGHT ON Last Thursday evening, the Senior Hi-Y held its regular weekly meeting at the Y. M C. A. In honor of the fast ap- proaching spring weather, the supper served was much more delicious than usual. The main features of it were fried chicken and ice-cream, which you may be sure received a warm welcome. Now it so happened that there were ten boys present and twenty-one pieces of fried chicken. Each boy had his two piecesg but that left one on the plate-and such a piece as that one was, too. It was breast, and was fried brown and crisp. lfverybody's mouth watered, but nobody had courage enough to ask for it. .Xt last Speight .Xdarns managed to say innocently, Pass the chicken, please. Youre crazy, replied Byrd, who had long been eying that chicken jealously. Then, to bring things to a climax, Steve unceremoniously leaned across the talgle and seized the chicken. Instantly there was an uproar. Every chair was knocked to the floor, and nine boys jumped on poor Steve. Such knocking and kicking and struggling you've never seen before. Many were the black eyes received that night. There is no telling where the fight would have ended if Mr. Francis Clarkson, the leader, had not come in at that mo- ment and demanded the cause of the fight. Upon learning, he quietly settled the dis- pute by eating the chicken himself. The lzovs were too badly bruised to conduct a discussion that night, and so the meeting adjourned. A SHAKESPEARE ROMANCE The Lovers were Romeo and Juliet. Their courtship was like Midsummer Night's IiJl'C.l.lll.,. He proposed The Twelfth Night of the courtship. Her answer to his proposal was As 3 ou Like It. He purchased the ring of King John. Anthony and Cleopatra were the best man and maid of honor. Two Gentlemen of Verona acted as ushers. Richard III gave the reception. His disposition was like a Winter's Talef' His occupation was A Merchant of Venice. Much Ado about Nothing came of rheir first quarrel. Their courtship proved to be A Com- edy of Errors. Their married life resembled The Tempest. 'Julius Caesar' granted the divorce. Their friends said Love's I.abor'S Lost. -Exchange. TWO WEEKS' HOLIDAY AN- NOUNCED!! Dr. Garinger has recently announced that Charlotte High School will be given a two,-weeks' spring holiday, lasting from April 7 to April 24. This is the first time that a spring holiday of any length has been given. and the school as a whole, with the exception of John Yonau, heartily approves this change. It will give us time to recuperate from the wintei-'s work for the last exams, Besides, all the girls need two full weeks to prepare their Easter and spring clothes. Hurrah for the Doctor: he's fine. John Hebert: Are you going any- where for dinner this evening? Pauline Owen: Not that I know of. John Hebert: Gee, but you'll be hun- gry tomorrow, won't you? C. H. S. WINS WESTERN STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Greensboro Falls before Fighting Quint- Harvell and Norris Star for Charlotte -To Play Fayetteville Tonight for State Title Last night, March 9, Charlotte Ilighi defeated Greensboro in a hard-fought con-- test at Chapel llill for the basket-hall championship of VVestern North Carolina, the score being 44 to 22. Both teams played an excellent game, but the blue- and-gray lads simply outclassed Greens- boro. The wonderful teamwork of Char- lotte was the feature of the game. .XllI Chapel Hill basket-ball fans were present at the contest, and unanimously declared that they had never seen a more spirited high-school game. Captain Harvell was the most conspicu- ous star for the victors, making several spectacular throws far past the center of the floor, and piling up thirty points for his team. Norris, at guard, did splendid work, also. He rarely condescended to let the Gate City boys have the ball when it passed his way. Daniels starred for Greensboro, sending the ball whirling through the hoop eight times. Tonight, at eight o'clock, Charlotte High School will meet Fayetteville, the eastern champion, at Chapel Hill. Much excite- ment is in the air, and Charlotte High School has hired a special train to take its students to the Hill.

We realize the grave duty that rests on ou shoulders as editors: we realize the tremendous influence that we have over the opinions and actions of the student-bodyg we realize that we can. through the editorial columns of this paper, sway the tide of student thoughtg we realize that it is our solemn duty therefore to condemn all prevalent evils. But the delicateness of this particular situation, and the sniallness of our vocabulary, has heretofore hindered us. and rendered us incapable of doing our duty .,... X few minutes ago we were suddenly stricken with the divine afflatus. XVe snatched up a piece of paper, and began to set down our thoughts. llerc is what we wrote: ln all of the categories of human foibles there is nothing so insidious in its nature and so damaging to the character of a high school student as the habit of studying. Many promising youths and maidens have had their careers ruined, and been doomed to spend their lives in an insane asylum or the pedagogical profession for the simple reason that they fell into the habit of perusing profound books and indulging in recondite ratiocinations. Indeed, when we pass through the silent corridors of Char- lotte High School at about 8.30 a. in., and peer into the open doors, and see the young manhood and woinanhood of Charlotte bent ci-.ver open books, wasting all of their pristine vigor in the meticulous search for knowledge: when we see this, our soul is chilled within us, and we are. for the moment, cast into the plumbless depth of an abject pessimism, Fellow students, something must be done! Such a situation should not be allowed to exist. .X little studying is all rightg it will probably leave no permanent effects. But Continued studying is undoubtedly harmful, and is 21 grave menace to the welfare of our school. In spite of the enticing appearance of a page of Caesar's Gallic Wars, or a problem in simultaneous quadratic equations, we must not allow ourselves to study. We must firmly resolve that we will follow the straight and narrow way, and abstain, at all times, from studying. ll ll ll WHAT 1: 2 ELECTRICITY 3 I: MEANS TO YOU ll I ll ll You can't have a comfortable home today without electricityg and if your home is thoroughly modern, cleanly, and comfortable, you use electricity not 4, :I merely for lights but for cleaning, washing, sewing, and various other things. 3 ll Electricity is a conservator of human energy.

To the inhabitants, it means another day with zeros, and to the teachers, four classes whose knowledge is nil. Well, as far as bad behavior is concerned, you would never know there was such a phrase or an action at Char- lotte lligh School on any Monday. Last Monday, however, was a little better than the ordinary. The reasons are unaccount- able, but the fact remains, just the same. VVhen the 8,30 bell pealed forth the hour for study period, everyone went to his room and quietly studied, Not a single person stopped in the halls to talk. At nine o'clock, every single student of our school was present, and not one arrived late. The order during the day continued. Mr. Penny's second period biology class had a perfect recitation, and Mr. Penny himself spoke not a word. Miss Horne's fifth-period French class did not utter a sound: everyone refused to talk. Ralph Truesdell studied in his history study period. and Guy Myers actually remained in Miss Chalmers' room one whole period. .Xt luncheon time the conduct improved. if improvement were possible. As usual f?J, no one ran to the cafeteria: every man took his place in line, and patiently waited until he reached the counters. Not a soul requested another to buy his lunch for hiin, and, as for pushing. well everyi body knows the students of Zander Hi wouldn't think of doing such a thing as that. O yes! The pupils condescended to go to their classes on time, and everyone arrived just when he should. The re- mainder of the day was as blissful as ever. The sound of the liberty bell denoted the end of the struggle. and everyone im- mediately hurried home. Thus endeth a perfect day. Uh! l forgot! The illustrious editr6SS of our school publications came to our school home with powdered nose, puffed hair, and tcan you believe it?l a vanity case in her band. Fusloiner: ls this well -water? Clerk: Does it look sick! -
