SMITH Business Manager FRANK COBB Advertising Manager DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN EDITORIAL PROGRESS Progress is the watchword of the times — to those in the foot- hills, to those in the middle plains and to those steadily rising to- ward the ultimate heights beyond. Progress is the watchword of youth, of middle life, of all, in fact, but age with the race nearly rmi. AVhen we cease to progress we may know our star is in the descendeney. Youth is the time of greatest opportunity. It is only as we are mellowed by the years that we have time to think overmuch on pa.st achievements. Youth is a time of happy hearts and care-free days ; later years bring reflection and sometimes regret, over wasted youth. Youth goes merrily on singing songs with a musical lilt, whatever the wording. Old age cares not for the beauty of phras- ing, if the poem or music but quiet and soothe the restless spirit. Youth sees the world as a wonderland of experience — new and novel and exciting. Old age knows life as a hard taskmaster. To it life has also shown the hidden paths to be avoided, the pitfalls, the fanged jaws. It has shown, as well, scenes made saered by discipline, by hard work, by sorrow, perhaps. Youth has all to gain ; age has naught to lose. And so, just in proportion to our ambition to progress, do oppor- tunities of a ncAV and larger life open to us. We may have talent, but talent is only the hard, cold instrument ; if we progress we must also have genius — a genius that drives us to a labor that achieves something, a genius that impels the instriunent in our hand to do its best, its very best, with every effort, that the results may ring- true. But the years come and go. Mayhap the old year slipped away with little done : the new year comes and with it comes, too, to young or old a new determination — a will to do, a buoyancy of spirit that incites within us the cheerful hope of progress toward realization, And thus we live our lives as men ever have lived them, as they ever will live them, always with the soul yearning for more stately mansions. Those nations that have become the bulwark of civilization are not the ones that cling to ancient manners and customs. Those cities that take giant strides forward are not the ones that wait quietly for Progress to knock at the outer gates. There must be alertness DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN to assimilate all that would tend to upbuild aud increase efficiency. So in the business world — in stores and factories. So in the pro- fessions — doctors, lawyers — ALL must be on the alert to progress, to better themselves for service. And so even in schools. No school can progress aud stand, mark- ing time, in the same circle. There must be a forward movement with concerted action all along the line. And Charlotte schools have felt this impulse. The fine, new building is a monument to the people of the city who put the needs of their children above mer- cenary motives ; to the school board who fu.rthered the movement,- and to all others who labored to bring this beautifvil biiilding to its triumphant fruition. It is indeed an incentive for both pupils and teachers toward the best in all respects — the best in harmony of spirit, the best in united effort, and the best in results accomplished. And, always, the one who does his best has a passport, sealed with a royal signet, to enter successfully some worthy field of en- deavor. C. H. CAREICK. The Delphian Board, in liehalf of the Class of 1915. wishes to ex- press its thanks to the business men, and especially to the Booster Club, whose sanction and support made our Deli hian possible. During the past year the business men agreed to boycott all adver- tising schemes which in their opinion did not liring immediate re- turns. One thing, however, they sanctioned, and that was the Del- phian. Had the business men withdrawn their support, the Del- phian would have been a failure, as the advertisements, to a great extent, pay the expenses of publishing the book. This shows that the Charlotte business men stand with us and with the school. Surely, the least we can do to show our appreciation for their kindness is to do our best to help them, to give them our patronage. J. B. W. During the past year an Alumni Association has been organized, with a large membership. This is indeed a step forward in the pro- motion of school spirit. On April 16, last, the first annual banquet of the new organization was held at the Masonic Temple, and surely nothing could have been a more complete success. Old grads gathered from all parts of the country, from east and west, north and south. Our sincerest wish is that the organization may live for years to come and that graduates of the fixture will take their places in the ranks and help carry on the good work. J. B. W. DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN TRADE IN CHARLOTTE The Delphian Board of the Class of 1915, iu presenting this J)el- pliian to yon. hope they are living np to all expectations and are publishing a book whieh may favorably stand all comparisons with its predecessors. The growth of the High School has caused the Board to put forth every effort that this year ' s book might keep even with the pace. We, the members of the Class of 1915, hope that our Del- phian may stand as a memorial of our four years ' work and pleas- ure in old Charlotte High, and believe that in years to come, as we look through its pages, many happy hours may be recalled to the minds of all of us. J. B. W. DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN -UTERRRT CZ=1 DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN LITERARY CLASS SONG 1915 Tune — The Orange and the Black When the dew of dawn is dripping, on the flowers, in natnre ' s honr, AVhen the rnby morn awal-:ens to light earth ' s fairy bower. Then it is we dream of mornings, when we woke with spirits light ; For the light of dawn we ' d chosen, in the Scarlet and the White. Through many trials and triumphs, we ' ve borne this flag of truce. In striving always higher, to reach the noblest truth. Even now our greatest effort, intertwined with prayer and tear Is fully now completed in our Alma ilater dear. In the future dawn of morrow, when we strive for higher goals. Will we e ' er forget our motto, or the white and crimson folds? We ' ll sing Esse quam videri, and shout for Charlotte High. Ever forward, onward, upward, for our goal is in the sky. Thanking God who gave all merc.y. and love shown in June flowers. We leave thee, Alma Mater, with the l)lessing for the hours Which we spent in scenes around thee, in joys as yet untold; With memories so enchanted that they never will grow old. A FOREIGN TRIP AT HOME It is generally agreed that travel is the great educator, and an increasing number of our people every year are seeking this means of instruction and recreation. Europe is at present closed to the tour- ist, but fortunately the delights of a foreign trip are still open to us, for a railroad journey of but a few hours will take us to a country where the Union Jack floats in the breeze and where the jseople ' s slogan is, God Save the King. If we make Toronto our first stop in this alien country, we receive its foreign atmosphere gradually, for this city has a large number of American residents, and to the casual observer does not differ mate- rially from American cities of the same size. However, many of its people speak with a peculiar English accent. The American visitor does not fail to notice the rubber tired victorias in the streets and also the straps passing inidcr the lower lip which are attached to the. — 10 — DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN policemen ' s helmets. Even the oatmeal with which we are familiar becomes porridge after it crosses the line. Toronto is a beautiful and busy city, with a water frontage on Lake Ontario. It has many beautiful parks and splendid public buildings, and the fine spirit of its people is well symbolized by the motto which hangs in the office of one of its principal hotels — Life is never so short but that there is always time for courtesy. We l)oard the steamer at six o ' clock for the trip across Lake Ontario and awake the following morning to find ourselves at Kingston, the West Point of Canada, and thence pass out into the waters of the majestic St. Lawrence, named by Jacques Cartier in honor of his patron saint. Soon the tirst of The Thousand Islands, with their charming summer homes, begin to appear and pass in rapid succession until nearly noon, when we change our steamer for one built to run the rapids, which break the smoothness of the river ' s course to Montrea l. Shooting the rapids is no doubt a di!ficult feat of navigation for the ship ' s pilot, but iov her passen- gers it is no such thrilling and terrifying experience as we had expected to encounter. The rapids seem much like the white caps on the lakes: but in the last, or Lachine Rapids, the dangerous rocks are more visible; however, these are soon passed and we glide under the arches of the majestic Victoria bridge, into the harbor of ilontreal. Montreal is more foreign than Toronto because of its larger French population, and it is rich in memories of the olden days when the banner of the Fleur de Lis floated over New France. Yet it is a British city also, and its splendid public buildings, especially its banks, look as solid and enduring as the British empire. Montreal has been called the City of Churches. and contains, some tine specimens of ecclesiastical architecture, among the best being Christ church. Episcopal. St. James. Roman Catholic, biiilt after St. Peter ' s, and Notre Dame, also Roman Catholic, a copy of the famous Notre Dame in Paris. We experience a real thrill when we enter the portals of Notre Dame and stand within its magnifi- cent interior, with a seating capacity of ten thousand, and Ave are impelled to even bow our heads in the spirit of reverence which great churches have inspired in the souls of men throughout the ages. Back of the city lies Mount Royal, from which Cartier viewed the country when he gave the settlement its name. This elevation is now a beautiful mountain park with a winding drive of nine miles to its summit. For the sum of one dollar you may traverse this path in one of the supremely comfortable victorias, with coach- — 11 — DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN man attached, and feel for a couple of hours like a pampered mem- ber of the British aristocracy, or if you are beset by the American love of haste you may reach the summit by the much shorter and less idyllic route — the elevator. From Prospect Point you look dov n seven hundred and fifty feet upon the city and the harbor. On a clear day the hills of Vermont are visible. We leave Montreal in the early evening and proceed eastward through the level and peaceful country now gloritied by the rose- ate colors of the setting sun, reminding one of the land of Evan- geline. If the traveler is not held up in a river mist he reaches Quebec in time for breakfast, if he is so detained he reaches it a little late for dinner, as we do. However, as we drive up the narrow, hilly, cobbled streets to our hotel we feel fully compensated for any delay for, although Que- bec has many features of a modern city, yet the atmosphere of the old French regime still clings about it like the odor of lavender in old lace. Quebec, the Gibraltar of the New World. and the only walled city on this continent, has an unsurpassed location overlooking the St. Lawrence. It consists of an Upper and Lower Town with a grade of about two hundred feet between. Crowning the heights of the LTpper Town stands the magnificent Canadian Pacific Hotel, Chateau Fron- tenac, built in the semblance of a medieval castle and fitting into the .surroundings like a solitaire in a perfect setting. Before the Chateau runs the wonderful promenade, fourteen hundred feet long, known as the Duft ' erin Terrace, which is ter- minated at its eastern end by the beautiful statue of Samuel De Champlain. He stands there with his mantle over his arm and his plumed hat in his hand, saluting, like the true cavalier that he M as, the Canadian soil. As we sit upon the Dufferin Terrace after nightfall, with Lower Town and the river beneath us. the lights t-wnnkle in the town of Levis opposite, the Quebec-Levis ferry boat, far below us, crawls like a huge glow worm back and forth. The gay crowds pass by in a never ending procession, and the strains of music from the Chateau orchestra float to our ears. Back of the Chateau looms up the Citadel, or fortress, with its frowning guns, garrisoned by a contingent of Canadian soldiery. The churches of Quebec, though not magnificent, like those of Montreal, are equally interesting. There is the English cathedral, with its exquisite chancel window, one of the finest pieces of stained glass on this continent ; the church of Notre Dame de Vic- tores, built in 1682, the Franciscan church, and many others. The Franciscan church has in connection a bazaar for the sale of the art and needle work done by the deft fingers of the sisters of the DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN order, and the younger sisters themselves in their garb of white wool, hood of white satin, and ivory urucifix, are fit subjects for the artistic brush. The city fairly reeks with historic associations. AVe drive out to the Plains of Abraham, where the great battle was fought ])e- tween ilontcalm and Wolfe for the possession of a continent. We see the old house where Alontcalm had his headquarters and the liouse which was the residence of the Duke of Kent, Qiieen Vic- toria ' s father, during his sojourn in Canada. Nor is our own his- tory forgotten, for we are shown the spot where Montgomery fell and the house to which the wounded Benedict Arnold was taken after the ill fated American attack upon Quebec in 1775. There are numy (juaint old houses and narrow streets to claim our attention. We ma,y drive about in t)ne of the vehicles of the olden days, the Caleehe, which is a two wheeled affair painted areen. with white wheels, having a seat for the driver in front and is reported to have a motion resembling that of a roller coaster. The gateways, also, which open out of the city walls, are interest- ing, especially the l)eautiful St. Louis gate, erected by Lord Duf- ferin in 1873. All pul lie signs in Quebec are written both in English and French, and we find that many of the people of the Province of Quebec speak no English at all. The ragged urchins who call the papers on the Terrace pronounce the French nasals with a facility that excites our admiration and envy, and even the Spearmint signs advise us in French to Chew it after every meal in the same old way as they did at home. Time forbids to tell of the charms of a trip to lontmorency Falls or to the village and chur(di of St. Ann de Beaupre, where many miraculous cures are performed every year and where we see a sight unique in America, the Scala Sancta or Sacred Stairs. These devout pilgrims ascend on their knees telling their beads on every step, in remembrance of the fact that Christ ascended the steps before Pilate. Quebec is the termination of our journey and our story, and we return home feeling that Not any view that nature present ' s for the human contemplation and admiration can surpass the match- less beauty, the scene from Old Quebec. Lillian E. Howard. AMATEUR PICTURE FRAMING What in the world is the matter with you. Brown? asked Smith, as they stood waiting for a car. Brown had five or six fingers fantas- tically enveloped in rags, and wore an expression of deepest despond- ency. Matter! growled the victim. Don ' t you see these fingers? How — 13 — DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN would you like yours wrapped up like that? Or do you suppose I did it to be picturesque? The ear came along just then, and no more was said until each found a seat. Did you ever hear of passe-partout frames? inquired Brown, wrathfully. No? Neither did I until yesterday. You know my wife went to Europe last summer and brought back with her the worst looking lot of photos you ever saw. She said thej were ' old masters. ' They sure were ugi.y enough to be anything. She wanted them framed for the parlor and read in one of those home magazines how pictures coiild be framed for less than nothing. When I came home last night, there she was in the midst of it. She had apparently bought out a glass shop and was cutting up window panes with her diamond ring. Say — you ' d ought ' er seen that ring this morning. Well, I managed to cut half of my fingers helping her; but that wouldn ' t stop her. What will stop a woman any way, when she gets hold of a new fad? She had some strips of paper and she stuck them around the edges of the glass and the photographs. That was to hold them together, you see. Of course they were crooked, but she didn ' t seem to mind that. About ten o ' clock she had every one of those old masters glued to a piece of glass and nothing would do but she must hang them at once, that very night. They covered the walls all right, but they were the wildest looking lot of pictures you ever set your eyes on. After that she condescended to tie up my mutilated fingers and we went to bed. Well, some time in the wee hours of the morning there was a most awful crash. For a moment I thought I was in a railway accident, but Jane woke up and vowed it Avas burglars. I told her that they certainly were the noisiest lot of burglars I had ever heard, but I got up and lit the gas, and just then there was another crash, which seemed to come from the parlor. I took a candle and started. Jane grabbed my arm, swearing we would die together. Every one of those confounded pictures had fallen down ! Smashed? Why, man alive, of course they were. But that isn ' t the worst though, for one of them had knocked oft the mantle the old Creman plate my wife ' s Avmt Isabel gave her for a wedding present, and that was smashed, too. It can ' t be mended and Jane is in a fine state! Seems the plate was sort of an heirloom ; been in the family for years and my wife doesn ' t dare tell her aunt it is broken. Just our luck, she ' s com- ing to visit us next week, too, and Jane is trying to find another one like it. Do you know what those things cost ? You needn ' t grin like an idiot. It would have been cheaper to have had those pictures framed at the most expensive place in town. I shall see that no more of the magazines with their economical household hints come into my house again or I ' ll be bankrupt sure, and Brown left the car with an air of determination. Seavolt ' 15. — 14 — DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN DECLAMATORY AND ORATORICAL CONTEST The local Declamatory aucl Oratorical contest was held iu the High School auditorium on Wednesday evening, March seventeenth. A crowd of over two hundred turned out for the occasion to back their representatives. This was the first entertainment, aside from the public opening, to be held in the new auditorium. The contest was a close one, especially in the declamatory, as there were but two contestants entered in oratory. After the pro- gram was completed, the judges. Miss Cynthia Green, Judge L. J. Danu and John C. Nichols, gave the following decision : Declamatory — Mildred Jordan, first; Stanley Chase, second; Har- old Jones, third. Oratory — Julius Wood, first; ilerrick Dean, second.

Lansing, Albion. Grand Ledge and Marshall high schools were each repre- sented by a declaimer and an orator, but Charlotte could not be denied, and carried off the honors by a wide margin. In the declamatory contest Charlotte ' s representative. Miss Jordan, was defeated by Miss Marjorie Thomson, of Albion, by the close margin of one point. In spite of the fact that Miss Jordan was so — 15 — DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN iinf(}i-tniiate as to draw the first place on the program iu the contest, her niasterfnl effort made a. lasting impression on the minds of the judges, and it took considerable time to decide whether Miss Thomson or Miss Jordan should be given first place. The victory of Jnlins AVood. of Charlotte, in oratory, was little short of remarkable. Each of the three .jiulges on delivery gave Mr, Wood first place. Of the three judges on thought and compo- sition, two gave him first place, and the other, second place. So that, of a possible six firsts, Mr. Wood won five. Well may Charlotte High boast of such a victory — a victory so decisive that it estab- lishes a record for this school and one that invites comparison with an.y high school of the state. The judges at the contest were as follows : Delivery Superintendent Buck, of St, Johns, Superintendent Forsythe, of Ionia. Superintendent Stewart, of Lake Odessa, Thought and Style Professor Nadal, of Olivet College. Professor Johnson, of il. A. C. Professor Ritchie, of Alma College, C, li, C. TO MICHIGAN O Michigan, with fields of green and gold, AVith streams and lakes like silver mirrors bright. With birds that sing of all the earth ' s delight. With beauty that not yet has half been told ; Michigan, a land of fruit and grain, From Erie to thy farthest copper mine, A land of maple and of singing pine, A hand with all the gifts it can contain; On three sides kissed by waters pure, unbound. Which join to form a highway to the sea; No sister state has transit half so free. In summer thou dost don thy brightest gown. In winter all thy garments are of white, In spring thoii sowest, iu fall dost reap delight, EDWIN SANTEE, 15. -16 — DELPHIAN, FIFTEEN NIGHT (Virgil IV., 522-529) Majestic niglit breathed o ' er the earth her mystic spell. And weary mortals with sleep ' s balm were quite instilled. Calm were the whispering woodlands and the raging seas by lier fair spell ensnared, While all the starry watches of the night rolled on serene; Hushed lay the fields in the soft midnight air. So. too, with beasts and gay-plumed birds who haunt deep limpid pools Or thicket tangled glens; soothed were their cares Under the silent night, and peace, calm peace, possessed tlieir hearts.

Owing to the good attendance of the Senators, caused by various measures adopted for that purpose, much was accomplished during the session. Numerous bills were introduced, some being passed, others defeated. Senator Roosa ' s bill relative to State Wide Prohibition, Senator Cobb ' s bill relative to Protection of Michigan Forests, and Senator Wood ' s bill relative to Sunday Picture Shows caused a good deal of sharj) debating and some hard fights on the floor, which were beneficial to all. All Senators worked hard and conscientiously and without a doubt this session raised the standard of this organization to a higher, level. The fii ' st meeting was held early in December, at which time new members and the following officers were elected : President— William P. Smith. Vice President — Cyril A. Turo. Secretary-Treasurer — Clifford Dernier. Assistant Secretary-Treasurer — Merle D. Jones. Sergeant-at-Arms — Fisk Bangs. Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms — Caryl Prindle. The following is the list of bills and petitions introduced during the session of 1914-1915 : Bill No. 1 — Relative to State Wide Prohibition, introduced by Senator Roosa, of the 16th, passed. Bill No. 2 — Relative to the Protection of ilichigan Forests, intro- duced by Senator Cobb, of the 8th, passed.

The season has been a great suc- cess, the orchestra having jilayed regularly for Chapel and also for the public opening of the new building. One remarkable fact is, that aside from two of the members, the entire orchestra was composed of Freshmen, which means that we may expect good music for sev- eral years yet to come. The members are : Katherine Sattler Florence Cole Adelaide Hart Marian Hageman AUeen Clark Reva Blasier Don Spencer Harold Clement William Rogers Vaughn Webber Floyd Parker Percy Young ■61 DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN ■62 — DELPHIAN FIFTEEN GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB The Girls ' Glee Club was reorganized again this fall and the fol- loAving officers were elected for the year : President — lone Wilber Vice President — itargaret Hoedemaker Secretary — Katherine Griffith Treasurer — Helen Cole The club felt the loss of many of its old members, but new ones were taken iu and under the excellent leadership of Miss Champlin has been a great success. Miss Katherine Sattler was the accom- panist.

The evening was spent in playing games and in listening to selections on the Victrola. Refreshments, in boxes ar- tistically wrapped in the class colors, were provided by the girls, and were sold at auction to the boys. By this means a neat little .sum was realized for the class treasury. SENIOR HALLOWE ' EN PARTY The Seniors were entertained by Miss Myrtle Hill at her home on the evening of October 28. The party was a mas([uerade and all had a jolly time. The decorations and refreshments were well in keeping with the occasion. --63 — DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN ■64 — DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN BOYS ' GLEE CLUB Until within the past j ' ear the boys of the High School had been sadly neglected along the lines of music. However, after much agitation of the question on the part of Mr. Carrick and a feAV boys, a meeting was held early in December, at which time officers were elected and a constitution drawn up for the Boys ' Glee Club. A chorus of about forty voices was formed from the boys of all four classes, under the leadership of Miss Champlin. The success of the organization was surprising and without a doubt the Boys ' Glee Club has come to stay. The following were the officers : President — Julius B. Wood Vice President — Paul E. Carrick Secretary and Treasurer — Clifford Mclntyre Members Prof. C. H. Carrick Clifford Mclntyre Paul Carrick Carl Slaughter Julius Wood Wayne Sowers Caryl Prindle Robert Murray William Smith Merle Jones Clifford Dernier Clayton Godfrey James Wood Stanley Chase Cyril Turo John Densmore Claude Greenfield Edwin Santee Harold Smith Harold Clement Carrol Whitbeck Marion Clark Jjeo Bobier Lawrence Lansborough Lyle Greenman Grayson Newark Clarence Nelson Myron Pray Frank Cobb Carl McConnell Carl Wheaton Bert Hoag Merrick Dean Dou Spencer Frank O ' Connor Elmer Lawhead Maynard Littell Percy Young Robert Tower FRESHMAN CLASS PARTY The first Freshman party of the year was held at Percy Young ' s home, in Carmel township. The members of the class were taken out to the Young home in automobiles. During the evening games were played and refreshments served. All had a most delightful time. FRESHMAN CHRISTMAS PARTY In December the Freshman class held a party at Grange hall. Tableaux, representing the different forms of athletics in the school, were presented, but the most enjoyable part of the program was the Faculty Meeting, given by members of the class. Refreshments were served and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. — 65 — DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET Over one liiindred g ' uests were present at the annual Junior- Senior banquet, held at the Masonic Temple on June sixteenth. The nineteen fourteen aft ' air somewhat surpassed those of former years, both in the lavish entertainment provided by the ample returns from the Junior benefit play and in the large number entertained. The decorative scheme was beautifully carried out in the class colors, of purple and white. An elegant three course dinner was served at six o ' clock by the ladies of the Eastern Star. The menu was as follows : Strawberries Rosettes Italian Croquettes Creamed New Potatoes Peas Celery Radishes Pickles Olives Rolls Coffee Cake Strawberry Ice Mints After dinner A. AV. Lynch, as toastmaster, called upon members of the Faculty and the Student Body for toasts. They responded in this order : Welcome --------- Fisk Bangs Response -------- Fern Walter Alpha and Omega ------- Lillian Howard Faculty -------- Dean Spitler Seniors ---------- Grace Fox The Siui God ------- Conscello Cole Junior Boys -------- Helen Hageman Classes of ' 14 - ' 15 - - - - - - - Julius Wood After the speeches the Olivet College Glee Club entertained the company with several excellent selections by their quartet, and by several readings, which were very cleverly given. All claimed that this was one of the best attractions ever put on at a Junior-Senior banquet. ♦ RECEPTION FOR FACULTY AND STUDENTS The first social event of the school year was the reception ten- dered the faculty and students of the High School by the young people of the ] I. E. church. The church parlors were prettilj dec- orated for the occasion. A short but delightful program was ren- dered. Ice cream and cake were served and all spent a most enjoy- able evening. — 66 — DELPHIAN, -FIFTEEN SENATE BANQUET The annual Senate banquet was held at Grout ' s cafe Wednesday evening, May 20, 1914. The dining room was very prettily decor- ated for the occasion. An elegant foiir course dinner was served to about thirty-five starving Senators and guests of honor, the chief one of whom was State Senator Wm. M. Smith, of St. Johns, who gave the principal address of the evening. Superintendent Carrick acted as toastmaster and, aside from Senator Smith, called upon President Lewis Dolson, of the Senate, Rev. H. K. Freeman, and County Secretary E. C. Hobart, of the Y. M. C. A., for speeches. The following menu was served : Grape Punch Wafers Fried Spring Chicken A ' ith Chestnut Dressing Creamed Potatoes Giblet Sauce Lettuce with ilayounaise Dressing- French Peas Escalloped Corn Graham and White Bread Tea Coffee Milk Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake with Whipped Cream Brick Ice Cream Wafers SOPHOMORE PURITAN PARTY On November twentieth a Puritan party was given by the mem- bers of the Sophomore class. The participants were attired in Pur- itan costumes, and musical selections, recitations and tableaux, ap- propriate for the season, were given. Two scenes from the Court- ship of Miles Standish were also presented. The refeshments consisted of baked beans, brown bread, and pumpkin pie, and each member of the class went to his or her home with refreshed memo- ries of the Pilgrim fathers. FRESHMAN CLASS PARTY Directly after vacation the Freshmen thought it time again to celebrate and make merry, and what more fitting place could they have chosen than the new gymnasium. Here, then, these diplomats assembled and sought to sweeten the dispositions of their teachers with maple syrup, while they themselves ate pickles. The party was necessarily short as it occurred on a school night, but without a doubt answered the familiar descrij tion, short but sweet. — 67 — DELPHIAN, FIFTEEN FOOTBALL BANQUET On Monday evening, December fourteenth, the Senior girls enter- tained the boys of the 1914 football team at a banquet given in their honor at the Congregational church. The dining room was decorated Avith the High School colors, orange and black. An elegant three course dinner was served. After dinner Coach H. H. Killian, as toastmaster, called on the following for impromptu speeches : Captain Leon Koosa, of the 1914 squad, County Secretary E. C. Hobart, Superintendent C. II. Carrick, Miss Van Kleek, and Fisk Bangs, the manager. Cliiiford Mclntyre was then elected to lead the team of 1915 as captain. This was excellent choice, and we all may rest assured that Mac. will pilot the boys to their share of victories next year. The following menu was served : Bouillon Meat Loaf French Peas Rolls Pickles Croutons Mashed Potatoes Olives Ice Cream Cake Coffee MISS CHERRYBLOSSOM In order that the Juniors might have money to banquet the Sen- iors, the annual Junior play was given at the Thomas opera house January 15 and 16. The production, Miss Cherryblossom, a very pretty little Japanese musical comedy, was a great success, being one of the prettiest and cleverest plays ever given before a Char- lotte audience. Mr. John Dodge, of Ypsilanti, took the leading role. Miss lone Wilber, as Miss Cherryblossom, Paul Carrick, as Kokomo, her foster-father, Julius Wood, as Togo, a politician, and Caryl Prindle, as Harry Jones, scored the hits in the play.

(Stolen) FOOTBALL The football season of 1914 was one of the most successful in every way that the school has had in several years. The team was admitted by all to be the best one to represent Charlotte since the dear old days of Broiise, Bishop, Wisner Co. Twelve games were played, six of them being victories for the locals. The scores of the opponents ' victories, with the exception of the Mason game, were small. In the twelve games our boys piled up a total of 235 points to their opponents ' total of 92. All disgrace ever brought about by our several defeats at the hands of the former Eaton Rapids aggregation of elderly gentlemen — 70 — DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN has been wiped out. Eaton Rapids was decisivel.y beaten by us in the two games of the season, our points totaling 155 to their 0. Captain Roosa ran the team to perfection and worlied with the boys like an old head. His i rincipal stars were : H. Smith, Sowers, Horn and Carrick, yet they were hard pressed by the others for these honors. Although Carrick was a Avee bit small, he wf.s one of the best quarters in the history of the school. Smith and Sowers were the heroes of the backfield, while Horn was IT on the line. Nine of the old men will not be back next year, but at tlie same time a strong team should be built wp around the veterans who will return to carry the colors of our High School on to victory in all future contests. The first game of the season was played on the 21st of Septem- ber, with Eaton Rapids here as the attraction. Our boys more than made up for every defeat they ever received or ever will receive at the hands of the representatives of that town as far as athletics are concerned. When the Avhistle finally ended the slaughter, the score stood something like 102 to in our favor. Sowers starred for the locals, getting in all eight touchdowns. Our fellows played with a snap and skill which foretold their successful season. Score : C. H. S 102 E. R. H. S On Wednesday, October li. Hastings journeyed down here for its annual defeat at the hands of our boys. The final score was 38 to in our favor. Sowers with his end runs and H. Smith with his line plunges were the features of the game. At first the Barry county boys put up a good game, but after the first quarter they were never in danger of scoring. Score : C. H. S 38 Hastings The third game of our schedule Avas played at Hastings on Wed- nesday, October 21, our team Avinniug as usual, score 19 to 0. Our boys played a good fast game from start to finish, but for some mysterious reason the.y were luiable to pile up their usual large score. Score : C. H. S 19 Hastings Eaton Rapids at Eaton Rapids Avas the next one, and try as they might our boys coidd only make 53 points, the battle ending Avith the score of 53 to 0, Charlotte on the big end of the bargain. H.

All former disgrace from all former defeats at the hands of our — 71 — DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN -72- DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN old rivals has forever been stamped out after our totaling 155 points to their in the two annual clashes on the gridiron. Score: C. H. S 53 E. R. H. S On Saturday, October 31, our boys journeyed to Grand Ledge, where they were defeated by a score of 7 to 6. Though beaten by a very narrow margin, our boys nevertheless outplayed their oppo- nents in every branch of the game. Grand Ledge scored their touch-down on a fluke play. Sowers, Horn and Rose were the stars of this contest. Score: C. H. S 6 G. L. H. S 7 Youth can always overcome age. On Wednesday, November 4. the high school boys beat the heroes of old in one of the fastest games ever played on the local field. The final score was 6 to 0. Our boys started out strong, determined to sweep the Alumni off their feet. In the first quarter Smith broke through the line and blocked a punt, which he recovered and crossed the line for the only touch-down of the game. In the last quarter the Alumni car- ried the ball three times to within from three to five yards of the high ' s line, but each time they were held for downs. H. Smith was the bright and shining light of this game for ovir huskies, while Ike Frace made the best showing for the old boys. Score: C. H. S 6 Alumni On November seventh the bunch journeyed to Marshall, where they were defeated in a hot scrap by the score of 7 to 0. One thing that our boys could not help biit notice, and which was largely the cause of their defeat, was the support which the students gave their school and their team. Smith and Sowers equally divided all honors. Score : C. H. S Marshall 7 The return game the following Saturday witli ilarshall was played on our field. This was one of the most exciting games ever played on the local field, our boys winning by a score of 12 to 0. At one time Marshall was within two feet of our line, but was held there for downs. This was the only time our boys were in any danger of being scored on. Smith recovered a fumble by Mar- shall ' s qviarter, crossing the line for a touch-down. At another time our boys caried the ball to the line where Carrick went over for another touch-down. Score : C. H. S 12 Marshall — 73 — DELPHIAN. ' FIFTEEN DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEM On Wednesday, November eighteenth, Grand Ledge came here and beat our boys by a score of 7 to 0, which was a great surprise to all of us. Several shady decisions on the part of the referee and cold weather may be called partly responsible for our defeat. Grand Ledge scored their touch-down on an intercepted pass. In the last quarter our fellows twice fought their way to within eight yards of the line, liut were both times held for downs. Score: C. H. S Grand Ledge 7 The last out-of-town game of the season was played at Albion on November twenty-first, our boys being beaten by a score of 12 to 0.

Leo Boljier, our veteran slab artist, was elected captain of the team, and at present the manager is hard at work to secure a good schedule for the season. Owing to the poor condition of the diamond the boys got a late start, other teams being in fairly good shape before our team had begun work. This undoubtedly accounts for the two defeats received in the first two games, which were pla.yed away from home. The first game of the season was played at Hastings on April twenty-fourth. Although the team put up a game fight, they were defeated by a score of 11 to 8, caused in all probability by a lack of practice. The next game was played at Nashville on the twenty-eighth, our boys again losing by a close score of 6 to . ' 5. Bobier pitched a good game, but could not stave off defeat. On ilay first Grand Ledge paid us a visit, but found us ready, los- ing to our boys by a score of 7 to .5. We scored all of our runs in our half of the eighth inning. Bo was complete master of the situation, while Grand Ledge was compelled to use three pitchers. The following is the schedule for the baseball season r April 2-4 — Hastings at Hastings.

There was a lively scrap throughout the entire contest for the leadership, biit our boys, through the hard efforts of Smith, Borton and Mclntyre, were able to pull the meet out of the fire. Our own Smith, and Williams of Eaton Rapids were the only contestants for the all around championship of the meet, Williams finally win- ning by seven points, having 25 to Smith ' s 18. Grand Ledge put up a game fight and succeeded in landing third place in the meet, but Olivet and Bellevue had absolutely no chance, the former getting one and the latter four points. — 79 — DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN — 80- DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN The following arc the results of the different events: 120 Yard Hurdles— First, Williams.

The entire eleven miles were covered in 56 minutes flat, while Bellevue finished about four minutes later. After the race the boys were entertained by the Grange at a banquet held at their hall, where, after all had done nobly by the feast, the cup was presented to the winners by V. G. Griffith.
