NINETEEN SIXTEEN EDITORIAL To the Faculty and many friends of Char- lotte High the class of ' 16 present this volume of the Delphian. Once more the Delphian Board has accom- plished its task. Countless questions have been asked us, much advice has been offered. We hope that we have profited by it all. In undertaking our work we little realized the difficulties that would beset our path, and altho we have groaned beneath the burden yet as others have done in the past, we have lived through it all and modestly present the Delphian of 1916. If perchance what we may say does not please some, do not wreak venge- ance upon the Delphian Board, but, remember- ing that we all have imperfections, forget it, and buy a few extra copies of the Del- phian for your friends. Faculty, Alumni and the students. Trusting to the gentle criticism of our readers. It is with pleasure that we look back on the progress of athletics in our High School during the past year. Too much credit cannot be given to our able directors, Messrs Gibbs, Gillert and White, who have given unstintingly of time and energy. Let us stand back of them in all their efforts and keep our standards high for good clean athletic sports. The Class of 1916 wishes to express its sincere thanks for the hearty support of the Mr. Pinnoek ' s departure the latter part of January was regretted by the student body and teachers, and we feel sure that he carried the best wishes of the student body with him. During his absence Mr. White, who has taken his place, quickly established himself in the good graces of the Faculty and the stu- dents, and is one whom we hope to have with us again next year.

Something in the childish voice stirred David Ames from his revery and looking down at the urchin at his elbow, he frowned. No, of course not, was his gruii reply. Pretty cold night, isn ' t it? the child ' s teeth chattered in spite of his brave effort to restrain them. With a start the man turned back. A bad night — yes, indeed. He was cold in his heavy coat while this little fellow could be cheerful even as he stood there, shivering in his rags. Yes, I will take one, boy! Thank you, sir. As the great dark eyes were lifted to his, memory stirred vaguely in his heart, yet it was nothing tangible, nothing he eould name. He slipped the paper into his pocket and continued on his way but somehow the little newsboy kept returning to his thoughts and he eould not forget the cheer and patience that shone in those dark eyes. The next night he found himself looking for the little fellow amidst the throng of people. In the nights which followed he made the purchasing of a paper an excuse for talking to the child and when he was missing for even one night, David Ames was coming to feel a sense of disappointment, for he looked forward to these snatches of conversation as the one bright spot in the day. As he was pocketing his change one evening the child timidly laid a bare, red hand on his sleeve and looking up into the stern face said, A Merry Christmas, Mr. Ames. Why it was Christmas eve and this was the first time he had thought of it or heard the wish expressed to him. Here, Peter, take this and buy yourself a gift with it, he said as he pulled some money from his pocket. Oh! Thank you, sir. The man walked on again lost in thought. What a lonely time of year it was — how he dreaded going back to that dark and gloomy place which he called home, with its velvet hangings tightly drawn over the windows, its closed rooms and shrouded furniture which he had long ago ceased to use. If only the boy had not reminded him that it was Christmas — after all money could not buy happiness. Why, doubtless, that ragged urchin was happier than he with all his riches. A man and woman passed him, laughing and chatting gaily; he looked longingly after them; he, too, might have been happy. The only way to get hap- piness, my son, is to give it. These words which his dear old mother had so often re- peated kept ringing through his head. I wonder, he mused, if I really could make anyone happy. How — how do you know whom to help. It had been a long time since David Ames had thought of anyone but himself. Scarcely realizing what he did, he turned back, and re- tracing his steps, reached the corner where his little friend was still striving to sell his papers. Peter, would you like to go home and spend Christmas with me since you have no one else in the world ? ' ' Had that been his own voice which spoke, so alive and full of emo- tion? He hardly knew. A look of happiness came over the child ' s Christmas day dawned clear and cold. All was confusion and excitement in the big stone house of David Ames ; servants hurried about opening rooms that had long been closed, pack- ages arrived, an immense tree was set up in the library — even the master seemed to be filled with the Christmas spirit and was kinder than he had been in several years. Noon came, but no Peter appeared ; an hour of anxious waiting passed and then the man turned away from the window and ordered dinner in a voice irom which all the life seemed to have fled. Suddenly the ring of the door-bell pealed through the house and without waiting for the butler, David Ames opened the door himself. If you please, sir, Peter said I was to tell you he can ' t come, bein ' as how he ' s sick. What, Peter sick! Where? Page twenty-three DELPHIAN, C. H. 8. NINETEEN SIXTEEN Down to th ' settlement house. Will you take me there? James, order the ear. In a few minutes they were speeding away toward the settlement house. That ride seemed the longest David Ames had ever taken. As they drew up at the curb a cold hand seemed to grip the man ' s heart, for there stood an ambulance with all its dreadful suggestion of sickness and death. Were they too late? Had he let this poor little soul go when by more thoughtfulness and kindness he might have prevented its flight? The white uni- formed attendants appeared bearing the quiet and apparently lifeless little form on a stretch- er. Fear held David Ames silent for a moment, then he approached one of the men, and, with a trembling voice, asked Is he — gone? Somehow he could not bring himself to the ut- terance of that awful word — dead. No, but he is very sick. W e are just tak- ing him to the hospital. I ' m interested in that boy, will you take him to my home instead of the hospital? Then as the man hesitated a moment in inde- cision he added roughly, He will have good care. I can get a doctor and nurse there as soon as you can. For the second time that day the big house, which was usually so quiet and gloomy, was all confusion. What has struck Mr. David? He hasn ' t been like this in years, James asked as he helped the cook fill a tray for the doctor. Perhaps this boy in the house will do him good, she replied hopefully, but there was a skeptical smile on James ' face. The doctor came out of the sick-room and the man who had been nervously pacing the hall, turned to him quickly. I am sorry, Mr. Ames, to have to trouble you but this nurse won ' t do. The boy keeps calling for his Rose-Lady, as he has named the settlement nurse. I ' m afraid we will have to send for her for he must not be excited in any way. Have I your permission? Certainly, Doctor, spare no pains or money in saving him. The boy ' s life had suddenly become very dear to him. As the doctor started to leave the man found himself saying eagerly but with a queer choke in his throat, Will he live. Doctor? Well, its hard to say as yet but I think he has a chance. If he only had a stronger constitution but he is half-starved besides the exposure to the cold. However, we will do our best and I take it that if good care and love can do it he will get well. You may go in and see him if you wish. Well, Peter, this is a great way to cele- brate Christmas. What about our party? I ' m awful sorry, Mr. Ames, but honest I couldn ' t help it, and the child reached out a hand to his friend. When will my Rose-Lady come? I want her to sing to me like she did last night. She will soon be here, Peter. Could I tell you a story instead? he asked just a bit jeal- ovisly. Would you? I ' d like it. Do you know, Mr. Ames, you would make a dandy father. Why haven ' t you any boys? I have, now. You are going to be my little boy Peter, and when you get well we will have the most fun together. Do you really want me, and may I call you father? Yes, yes, of course you must call me that. Now close your eyes and we will have the story. ' ' So the Rose-Lady found them when she came softly in. David — you! she exclaimed sharply. Judith. Oh, do you know my Rose-Lady, father? As he received no answer Peter asked again. ' ' Rose-Lady do you know my father ? ' ' Your what? Then remembering his crit- ical condition she answered hastily, Yes, dear, I do. Now let ' s try to sleep, but in spite of her brave effort the soft voice would tremble a little. The man silently crossed the room to the door. Oh, you mustn ' t go, father, I want you to hear Rose-Lady sing. Page twenty-four DELPHIAN, C. H. S. NINETEEN SIXTEEN I want to see the doctor, Peter. I ' ll be back soon, his voice was harsh now with past grievances. No, no, I want j ' ou to stay. Please, father. You had better humor him; perhaps he will go to sleep soon. There is no time to consider ourselves — if, she added in a low tone, we are to save him. He nodded, then quietly sat down by the bed. His heart was leaping at her nearness and at the unconscious use of that little word we. Then his face hardened and his jaws clicked determinedly as he thought of all the pain she had caused him. It was five years ago that she had told him they could never be happy together while he was making and then ruining men in his business. Five years of sol- itude and unhappiness — yet, here she was in this very house to wliich he had planned to bring her as his wife. A week passed by in this way — a week of strained , relations for these two, yet in one thing they were of the same purpose — the sav- ing of Peter ' s life. This was their anxiety over Peter, for he had grown very dear to them both in the past few months. The crisis will come touight, the doctor had said and so they settled themselves for the long vigil. Midnight came and over the sleeping city the bells rang in the new year. What happi- ness and joy he might have looked forward to, was David Ames ' thought as, with bowed head, he listened to the last note die away. Then for the first time in years, the master of many another man ' s fate prayed to his Maker. What if he should lose Peter now, just when he had come to love him, and what if he should lose Judith again, too. Money could not buy hap- piness, she had been right — God ' s plan did not work that way. Breathlessly they watched over the little fellow as he lay there in a stupor. He aroused and looked questioningly at the three faces bending over him. Good night, father. Tomorrow we v ill have our party. Don ' t let Rose-Lady go away, will you? Then upon receiving the man ' s promise he sighed happily, closed his eyes and soon dropped into a quiet, natural sleep. He will live, was the doctor ' s brief ver- dict and with a few whispered directions he left. As David wearily rose from his chair he met Judith ' s eyes full of love and understanding. Dear, I promised Peter I would keep his Rose-Lady, he said softly. David! The first rosy tints of dawn showed in the sky when they at last stole softly from the bedside of the sleeping child. That dawn of a new day — of a new year ! The Artist (By LiUian E. Howard.) He had the artistic temperament. His fea- tures were finely chiseled and his mouth sensi- tive and in his dark eyes there glowed at times a spark of that celestial fire which Prometheus stole so long ago from the abode of the im- mortals. And he played that most divine of in- struments, the v iolin, very well for a boy, so well that in rare moments, heaven and earth seemed to vanish away and there was nothing left but harmony. He had great dreams of his future and in his boyhood days his head often whirled with .visions, visions of the time when he should be a great artist and win the adulation of brilliant throngs in far famed capitals, or a great com- poser whose melodies should live forever. The rainbow promise of his youth bade fair to be fulfilled, for he was sent to one of the best schools of music. But in the midst of his course there came a great calamity which darkened his sky and left to him no traces of Page twenty-five DELPHIAN, C. H. 8. NINETEEN SIXTEEN its rainbow tints. He was forced to return home and t ake np the burden of supporting his mother and his younger sister. He began the work of teaching music rather bitterly, for this was not his destiny. He was meant to be a darling of the gods, not a hum- drum teacher of the violin, with anxiety about the fuel and the rent, hanging like the sword of Damocles above his head. At first he felt that he could yet compose, and occasionallj he caught faint snatches of a mystic melody. But they were more and more indistinct, and finally he heard them no more. They were drowned by the jangling discords of his life. But in that darkest hour which always pre- cedes the dawn, there was born to him out of the travail of the passing years a vision. It was dim and indistinct at first but gradually it grew clearer and brighter until he could follow it like a guilding star. And he knew that from his 0 ' ai spirit and his own life he could evoke siieh harmonies as had never yet been called forth from a violin, no, not were it the finest that had ever come from the workshop of a Stradivarius. And so he began to practice these new melodies of the spirit, but he found them hard to master, harder than the most difficult of compositions for his violin. For they were the melodies of unselfishness, of love, of the return of good for evil, of sweetness and serenity amid the clashing din of human life. But the difficulties did not daunt him and he persevered and became more and more pro- ficient with every passing year. The way grew brighter and the path less thorny all the time, and he discovered that to teach rightly is to give, and that only those who give taste the purest joy that man can know. He was becom- ing an artist now in that finest of all the arts, the art of living. And behold! He heard again those other melodies of yore, and one day he wrote a beau- tiful song which touched the hearts of thou- sands and which made him famous. But what mattered to him now the plaudits of the world 1 He had heard the music of the stars. For His Colleen (By Adelaide Hart, ' IS.) Mrs. Mulhany smiled genially in the late autumn sun. Her ' s was a smile of good-fellow- ship and happy disregard of the conventional- ities involved in the naeeting of strangers. She was placidly talking to the lady who occupied the seat next her on the bleachers regardless of the haughty glances of the lady and the amused smiles of those about her. Shure an autumn day is a lovely tii e to be a-bringin ' of a woman loike me from her house- hol d duties to watch a fisht full of crazy ga- loots chase the length of the field with a ball and thin be afallin ' on one another as if it ' twas made of gold, instead of bein ' composed of the same material as me old pig, Pat. Shure a lot of humans act the same as that same crit- ter. Many a pig ' s hid ' hind of a two-legged, smilin ' -faced nonentity that the Lor ' s origin- ally intended for somethin ' else to be placed on another planet, but got mixed in the rush. Whist or I ' ll box yer ears, can ' t yez hear me a- talkin ' with the lady ; where ' s yer manners ? There, Kathleen, O ' Shaughnessy will save you some; if you don ' t, you young spalpeen, I ' ll turn yes over my knee and make ye sing. This whole speech was made in one breath, the last part with cuffs and jerks at a young, jolly, red-headed, freckled-faced culprit, mingled with pats and mothering glances at a weak little girl in her lap. Today Mrs. Mulhany was out on parade ; green feathers adorned her cocky hat, a coat of the revoluntionary period hung about her matronly form in folds, and the smile which she bestowed upon the earth in general and her son in particular, warmed the otherwise chilly landscape as the rays of the sun, while her hearty words seemed as a jolly norther, crisp, full of comradeship and love. At her side sat a meek little man, trying hard to keep Page twenty-six DELPHIAN, C. H. S. NINETEEN SIXTEEN from the public eye, and succeeding, as it were, behind the ample form of his wife. Mrs. Mulhany w ' as talker of the family and filled the position well. Her better half, as she called him, had been coolly informed that he should take a day off and attend the foot- ball game, and sure as life itself Mulhany ar- rived decked out in his national colors, also those of the school. About his plug hat was carefully festooned a green ribbon, shamrocks adorned the lapel of his coat, Mrs. Mulhany be- ing a believer in local color, and behold Mul- hany a changed man. Why so much excitement over a football game? Hush while I tell you. Today Michael Mulhany, 21 years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. O ' Shaughnessy Mulhany, Sr., was to play his final game of football. He was captain of his team ; handsome, manly and whole-hearted ; a true son of his mother. He had led his team to victory upon every other occasion, but this game meant more to him than any of its pre- decessors. He was playing to win the hand of the girl he loved ; a pretty-sweet-faced, rollick- ing Irish lass, with eyes as blue as the lakes of Killarney, and cheeks of peaches and cream and hair as black as the heart of Cromwell. In a moment of mischief she had told him that unless he won the game she would become the wife of his rival, Pat McGee, and contrary to her expectations Michael had taken her at her wiord, and today was to battle for her hand. Game to the end she stood by her rash require- ment, and now the crucial moment had arrived. She had little doubt as to the outcome of the game, for Michael had worked four long years for this very moment. Through these years of unceasing toil and study he had laid too firm a foundation to be shaken at this late day. Were his men as strong as he? This question troubled her not a little, but she turned a smiling face to him as he came up, bringing several classmates to be introduced to the fam- ily. Proud of them, Michael introduced his mother and father as if they were the king and queen of the Emerald Isle. His brothers and sisters, nine in all, as the best parcel of young- sters on the continent, and Margaret O ' Hara — well we leave that to the imagination of the romantic. As the game was called, Michael kissed his mother, shook hands with his father and smiled beamingly upon the children. Then turning to his little sweetheart, he said : Shure an ' its a hard task, Mavoureen, but I ' m sure to come out on top. Good luck to you, Mickey; I hope by all the saints that ye win. With a cheery smile Mickey made for the field and in a moment were heard his encour- aging cries to his team-mates. That ' s it, Slim, fight him boys ; all ready now, let her go. The first of the game was played with a show of equality. They were well matched, and fought with pep. Mrs. Mulhany was beside herself with anxiety. Michael was guarded by a man, almost rivalling Jess Willard as to pro- portions and he was doing his best to annihilate the boy. But Michael stood his ground. ' ' Michael, Michael, don ' t weaken ; think of St. Patrick and foight like an Irishman. Turn- ing to the guard, she cried in a menacing whisper, Ye black hathen, sure an ' I ' d wallop yes wid me bare hands if I was me boy. ' ' One person on the field was silent, her face was white and set, but hope was strong in her heart and something of her confidence vibrated out to Michael, and together with his deter- mination to win, made him grit his teeth and muster the courage within him, gained from a long line of Irish fighters. He fought a battle that day, never to be forgotten. With muscles tense, jaws set, watching every movement of the pigskin, with eager, alert eyes, he seemed possessed. His team was weakening while the other side appeared to gain strength. The score was tied and 40 yards to go. Amid the cries of the spectators he gasped out his signals. Suddenly in a tense quiet the two teams sprang into action. The dust was blinding when it raised the ball and Mickey was two yards down the field and his opponents straining every nerve to overtake him. Only 38 yards to reach the coveted goal, but his strength was fast waning. His eyes glaring fire, his head thrown Page twenty-seven DELPHIAN, C. H. S. NINETEEN SIXTEEN back he ran with the grace of a deer. A tackle darted in front of him, he dodged easily. His pursuers gained on him every moment. The goal seemed far away. The pain in his throat choked him ; his sides seemed tearing, his knees were weakening, when he heard the encourag- ing cry of his mother : Holy St. Patrick! he ' s gone mad; that ' s the boy, Mickey, me darliu ' ! Then faintly to his ears, as he sped on, came the appealing note of Margaret O ' Hara, For me, Mickey, for me. Renewed strength seemed to be injected into his body, and with another effort he threw him- self across the line. Cheer upon cheer rang through the crowd. Nine for Mickey, Nine for his mother and father. Then Mickey raised his tired head and croaked hoarsely, Well, boys, let ' s see how it ' ll sound to give nine for Mrs. Mickey! The Seasons (By Ermintrude Martin, ' IS.) A cloud of petals drifting down Before a gentle breeze, To fall upon a verdant ground Prom blossom-laden trees; A throng of yellow butterflies. That float and whir and dip; Some fleecy clouds in azure skies; A bee poised o ' er the lip Of sweet narcissus ' golden cup, With pollen-gilded coat, While he on nectar sweet doth sip; A song-bird ' s single note, From out a bloom-encircled bower, Doth cheer his little mate, Who far below among the flowers On four eggs sits in state. Some yellow asters by the road, The gentian ' s fringe uncurled; The harvest of the seed once sowed In Springtime by the world; The frost has stained the maples red. The beeches clothed in gold; The plants have many songbirds fed From stores of seed they hold; The leaves drop slowly, one by one; The nuts at last are ripe; And thru the woodland sounds the gun, Where once the blackbirds piped. A smoky haze hangs every day; The sun serenely shines Upon a world now red and gay. With dimmed horizon lines. A plaintive bird-note thru the still Of the oppressive heat; Which, from the basswood on the hill. Is hung with perfume sweet. A noonday quiet rest o ' er all, O ' er forest and o ' er field. And to its noiseless, drowsy call All nature needs must yield. Within the cool, dark forest shade The leaves hang wholly still; There comes from out a dusky glade The laughter of a rill. Which rambles lightly to and fro, Like bird-songs thru the rain, Or voices heard long years ago, And to be heard again. The trees stand leafless, sombre-black. Against the dead-white snow. The naked branches eerily, Wave stifly to and fro. They cast fantastic shadows In the cheerless, cold moonlight. And Luna now is hidden By thick black clouds from sight. The snow, a blanket thick and white. Lies softly on the earth; Serene is this December night. The season of Christ ' s birth. The black clouds, edged with silver lace. Pass, and again revealed Are the broad and snowy reaches Of highway, lawn and field. Page twenty-eight DELPHIAN, C. E. 8.

I ' m an orgauzier, let me get up a creditable affair. You, grunted Peter unimpressed. Yep, me, eagerly replied Bob. Can you get 75,000 sopranos? Peter allowed as how he could. And 75,000 altos? Peter nodded. And 75,000 tenors? Again the waiting Peter nodded. Ah, sighed Bob, now we ' ll have a real bunch. ' ' But I say, Robert, how about the bass and a leader, asked the thoughtful door tender. Oh, never mind that, Pete, ole Kid, inter- rut ed Bob, What, will sing bass and I ' ll lead. When St. Peter came to again he told Bob about the wealth in heaven, how one cent equalled $10,000,000, and one minute 1,000 years. At this Bob was outwardly impressed. Say, Pete, old sport, he interposed after a mo- ment ' s reflection, lend me a cent for a minute. Peter came back gasping for air. Well, Rob- ert, you can start your trip below now, here is your round trip ticket, said Peter between gasps. Bob on reaching the lower regions ran across Hoag, Melntyre and Jones calmly sitting by the roaring furnace enjoying a quiet game of cards. They greeted Bob and asked him to sit down and play cards. I ' m broke, explained Bob, but gwan, let me in. Nothing doing, interposed Mike. Well, I ' ll start out and scare up some coin, replied the crestfallen passenger. A little while later Bob returned with plenty of money. Say, Bob, inquired Mac after Bob ' s pile kept increasing, where did you get the money ? ' ' Sold my return ticket to heaven, replied Bob as he drew an ace out of his pocket. Endynicon (By Grace Densmore, ' 16.) Softly over the world so fair Night drew the curtains of day, There on the mountain, the pine boughs his bed, Endynicon quietly lay. L own thru the soft glowing shadows of night Diana, the Moon-Goddess came. And over her heart at his beauty so rare Came love with its clear, divine flame. 0 Goddess of Night in your chariot of gold For the beauty of mortals you sigh, But the will of the gods must endure to the end And the love in your fond heart must die. Thus Jove, the king of gods on high, Sent Diana his will from above, But she heard not nor hee...ed the gracious command. For her heart was aflame with great love. So she caught up the shepherd so calmly at rest And swiftly came on thru the night, And cast o ' er his spirit a ne ' er ending sleep. Lest time mar his beauty so bright. Thus for gods and for mortals pure love is divine. And thru shadows shine out like the day. And in spite of barriers so strongly built up Is victoiious, immortal for aye.

NINETEEN SIXTEEN Declamatory and Oratorical Contest The preliminary Oratorical and Declamatory contest was held in the High School auditorium April 7 to decide who would represent Char- lotte at the sub-district contest. Not as miich enthusiasm was shown as dur- ing the past few years but regardless of this a good crowd was present. The Declamatory contest was a close one be- tween Mr. Thompson and Miss Jordon, but finally the judges decided in favor of Miss Jordan. The Oratorical contest was easily won by Mr. Jones, he being the only contestant. PROGRAM Music — HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Liberty or Death Patrick Henry JOHN SPANIOLA Sparticus to the Gladiators E.

Green Judge L. J. Dann Dr. A. W. Hutchins Sub-District Contest After a very spirited local contest held in the High School Auditorium, April 20, Miss Mildred Jordan and Mr. Merle Jones were selected to represent Charlotte High in decla- mation and oratory at the sub-district contest, which was held at Grand Ledge, April 21, 1916. The story is told but briefly when it is said that our representatives both returned victors. A number of High School boys, namely. Earl McUmber, Lero3 Clement, Lester Parker, George Osborn, Burdett Brown, and Harold Clement journeyed to Grand Ledge and were right on hand to cheer our candidates on to victory. Several teachers also took the trip. The remarkable thing about the contest is that our orator received every first place of the six that were awarded by the judges and our de- claimer drew two out of three possible firsts. This is a victory rarely achieved by any high school and we are all naturally proud of the candidates who so gloriously represented Charlotte. Pagp thirty DELPHIAN, C. H. S.

The dining room of the Masonic Temple and the banqviet tables were elaborately decorated with flowers and the class colors. Prom the ceiling long streamers of red and white were hung. On the wall was suspended a large white motto in red letters, Esse quam videri which, for the benefit of us who forget our high school Latin at the same instant we receive our diploma, has been obligingly translated into To be, rather than to seem. Favors in the shape of red roses were at every place beside the tasteful souvenir dinner programs. A fine dinner was served by the ladies of the Eastern Star after which Joseph Pinnock of the faculty, acting as toastmaster, presided over the following toasts : Welcome Merle D. Jones Eat, drink, be merry, seize the present hour, Deem not the future holds a fairer flower. Response Paul Carrick Hail fellows! We thank you for this welcome.

The girls wore Middys and the boys appeared quite at home in their Jeans , — especially our beloved instructor, Prof. Gibbs. A mock meet of the several universities and colleges was held. Harvard seemed to be in the lead but Cole scored a point for Ann Arbor by devouring yards of thread and being first to get to the candy. Old-fashioned games were played and light refreshments of doughnuts and sweet cider closed the evening ' s entertainment. the treasury was realized. An excellent time is reportd by those who attended the party. SOPHOMORE BOX SOCIAL. The Sophomore class of this year enjoyed a box social in the Gym in November, 1915.

NINETEEN SIXTEEN DRAMATICS This year a new plan was formed in regard to the giving of entertainments in the High school. Each class was to put on some play, musical or entertainment, three-fourths of the proceeds were to be turned over to a general lund and one-fourth going into the class treasury. This plan has worked very favorably as from the general fund we have purchased new curtains for the auditorium and also a neat set of scenery which was constructed by Mr. Carrick, Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Gillert. Also au excellent set of steel lockers were purchased for the gym. The balance of the fund will go towards banqueting the Seniors. The Freshmen were the first to start the ball rolling and obtained Harold Lohring of Olivet and his Indian Lone Bear, to deliver their lecture on the North American Indian. A large crowd attended and Lone Bear made things exciting with his Indian calls and dances. ' Ihe Freshmen made a neat little sum of money which made a fine nest egg in tlieir class treasury. THE CRICKET ON THE HEARTH. The Juniors presented their annual play in the High school auditorium, March 8th. It was a pleasure to have the Juniors present an old-fashioned sketch of home life, The Cricket on the Hearth. The stage typified an old New England home, with fireplace, clock, perforated cardboard motto and framed por- trait. The sketch itself was a happy home with the loving husband, wife and baby and even the cricket chirping happiness from the fire- side. Too soon suspicious jealousy enters by the hand of a friend (?) and though the home is almost broken up, the secret the wife was asked to keep is exposed and peace and happi- ness reign again supreme. Gladys Moyer, as the wife Dot, showed ex- ceptional talent as an actress. Dorr Swift played his part well. His part was much solilo- quy and philosophy which required no little skill to portfay. Harold Jones, as the matyr for the toymaker, was cheerful under persecu- tion to idealize the happiness of his blind daughter. His portrayal of the character was perfect. Alice Greenawalt was very effective in imitating blindness, so much so that she aroused the pity of her audience. James Wood as toymaker and mischief maker was excellent both m introducing suspicion in the mind of the husband and producing mirth on the stage. The other characters were minor yet were well portrayed. Following is the program : CAST OF CHARACTERS.

Band which rendered a fine program. The trombone solo by Mr. Kiefer was ex- ceptionally good and the cornet solo, The Rosary, played by Mr. Nelson, pleased the audience greatly. Professor C. B. Nelson gave some delight- ful readings from James Whitcomb Riley, Paul Lawrence Dunbar and Ben King, and was called back repeatedly by his enthusiastic audience. With the tweny-five per cent of the proceeds which the class received they pur- chased a piece of statuary for the High room. MICHIGAN CONCERT CO. The Michigan Concert Company which was secured by the Senior class was heard in the High school auditorium, February 18th, and was a rare musical treat. Mr. Grover had the audience in an uproar with his clever chalk talk. While as a soloist he could not be sur- passed. Clarence Post played several fine selections on the violin which brought down the house. Frank Taber at the piano displayed marked skill as a soloist and his accompani- ments were played in excellent taste. Although not a large crowd attended, the audience was most appreciative of the young men ' s efl orts. PROGRAM. Part I. 1. Play Make Believe . - . - Bond Messrs. Grover, Taber and Post 2.

Mr. Merle Jones lead the boys in a comic song which brought down the house . Misses Lueile Ells and Marjorie Wilcox each rendered two very beautiful solos.

NINETEEN SIXTEEN ATHLETICS On Tuesday, September 10th, the annual meeting of the Athletic Association was held in the Audi- torium for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year.

Coach Gilleft issued the call for candidates for the foot ball team and about twenty-five aspirants reported. Only three of last year ' s Varsity re- ported, but prospects were promising for a strong team. The team under the leadership of Mr. Gillert and Captain Mclntyre developed rapidly, but were handicapped by inexperience. However, by the end of the season they showed the careful work of their leaders by their excellent showing against Hastings. After three weeks of practice the team went out for its first game of the season, with Mason high. Mason had a team composed of experienced seniors, which won after a hard fought battle. The team was somewhat discouraged after the first quarter by the fact that Van Boyd was taken from the game with a broken ankle. Score: M. H. S., 63; C. H. S., 0. LINE UP.

The rest of the team played the best game of their career, as is shown by the score. Score: Alumni, 7; C. H. S., 7. LINE UP. Left End — Bert Hoag. Left Tackle — Wiliam Rogers and John Corbett.

NINETEEN SIXTEEN Basket Ball After Thanksgiving vacation Coach Gibbs issued the call for candidates for the basket ball team. About thirty boys responded and after a week of practice a team was selected consisting of Center — Nelson, Rogers. Right Forward — Nichols. Left Forward — Hoag. Right Guard — Wilmore. Left Guard — Lamont, Rogers. On December 23rd this team, having unanimously chosen Nichols captain, went up against the Grey- beards in a contest which had more the appearance of a comedy than a basket ball game and won by a good score. Score: C. H. S., 27; Alumni, 5. After a week ' s vacation the team resumed practice and on January 7th journeyed to Grand Ledge via bus, and on a small, slippery dance floor were de- feated. Score: C. H. S., 24; G. L. H. S., 32. The following Friday, January 21st, the E. R. H. S. team reached here, as usual confident of a victory, but were sadly mistaken, for the C. H. S. was ready, as was Archie Lamont, and they went down to defeat to the tune of 45 to 17, Lamont securing twenty of our points. Score: C. H. S., 45; E. R. H. S., 17. Thursday, January 26th, Vermontville in a good practice game were downed by our team. Score: C. H. S., 60; V. H. S., 8. On February 4th the husky lads from Hastings arrived here and in a fast, scrappy game were beaten. This was by far the best game of the season. The C. H. S. team played basket ball every minute an! each man was a star, which went to make up the con- stellation. Teamwork was the feature of the game. Score: C. H. S., 30; H. H. S., 13. February 11th the team visited the island city, Eaton Rapids. The game which followed resembled more a prize fight than a basket ball game. When the final whistle blew the score stood in favor of Eaton Rapids, but not thru their superior ability to play basketball. Score: C. H. S., 13; E. R. H. S., 24. The following Friday, February 18, our boys went to Hastings but had not fully recovered from the effects of the E. R. game and so went down to defeat. Score: C. H. S., 16; H. H. S., 58. February 25th Olivet H. S. team arrived here and in a fast and clean game our team came out the winners. Score: O. H. S., 17; C. H. S., 32. Tuesday afternoon, February 29th, the team were asked to play a game with the Battle Creek Univers- ity of Health and they accepted and in a fast game were defeated. The boys were treated to a fine banquet and all reported the best time of the year. Score: C. H. S., 25; B. C. U. H., 38. On March 3rd the return game with Olivet was played. Olivet had a narrow and slippery floor and our team could not get accustomed to it. Score: C. H. S., 16; 0. H. S., 26. Friday evening, March 17th, the last but not the least game of the season was played, East Lansing being our opponents. Charlotte was in the lead by a good margin until the last Ave minutes, when East Lansing took a brace and evened up matters. Score: C. H. S., 38; E. L. H. S., 35. The team this year was one of the best in the history of the C. H. S. They won all of the games on their home floor, securing 326 points to their op- ponents ' 273. Each member of the team proved that he was worthy. They were classed as one of the best in the state. Much of the success of the team is due to the thirty boys who reported each night of practice to help build up the flrst team, also the spirit of the High school in their attendance at the games and of the official coaching of Mr. Gibbs and our worthy captain, Herman Nichols. CLASS GAMES. A series of class games was arranged to arouse interest in basketball and they certainly proved a success. The Juniors carried off the honors with the Seniors a close second. C MEN.

Girls ' Basket Ball The prospects at the beginning of the basketball season were rather doubtful this year as there were no old players to return. However there was a good bunch of ready material which under the careful watching of Miss Hamilton soon developed into a team of which any high school might be proud. Although they only won half of their games they always kept a close score with their opponents. We feel sure that the C. H. S. will have a championship team next season, as only one of the basket tossers will graduate. LINE UP. Doris Sherman (Captain), L. F. Rhoda Nelson, R. F. Cora Millenbacher, jumping center.

NINETEEN SIXTEEN to Charlotte. This was the first game of the season. It was close, fast and scrappy. At the end of the first half the score stood 6-6. The Charlotte girls came back on the floor filled with determination to win and they clearly won the honors. Score: C. H. S., 12; E. R. H. S., 10. VERMONTVILLE. The next game was with the Vermontville girls on the afternoon of the Teachers ' Institute. Rhoda Nel- son, our star performer, was absent from the line-up, not being able to play. Nevertheless the score was a tie at the end of the first half. 6-6. Again at the close of the second half the score was tied, 9-9. It was agreed that the one scoring the next two consecutive points would win. Doris Sherman was the bright light for the locals, scoring every point. Score: V. H. S., 11; C. H. S., 9. EATON RAPIDS. A return game was played on February 11th with Eaton Rapids. The Charlotte girls came out fresh in their new cretonne middies, which must have dazzled their eyes for somehow Eaton Rapids put a score of 12 to 9 over them. Score: E. R. H. S., 12; C. H. S., 9. NASHVILLE. On the eighteenth of February the team journeyed to Nashville and although they were on a strange floor with only two courts they worked up a score of 23 to 8 in our favor. Cora iMillenbacher and Edith Collins were unable to play In this game, but Anna Horn and Agnes Armstrong played fine games at guard and jumping center. NASHVILLE. The Nashville girls came to Charlotte the same night that the Olivet boys played here. They had a good team but were not strong enous ' h at basketball for our girls, and although Rhoda Nelson was not in the game the C. H. S. came out ahead. Score: C. H. S., 10; N. H. S., 3. BATTLE CREEK. The final wind-up of the season was played at Battle Creek. The sting of defeat was somewhat lessened by the cordiality shown the team by the Battle Creek girls. Miss Millenbacher ' s badly sprained thumb kept her out of part of this game. The Battle Creek coach said that the C. H. S. team put up the best game of any team they had played there this season.

The Senior team carried off the laurels, with the Freshmen next in order. The Senior team was composed of Mclntyre, Nichols and Hoag. Indoor Base Ball Coach Gilbert issued the call for base ball candi- dates about March 2th and a goodly number re- sponded. Herman Nichols was chosen captain and the boys practiced three times a week in the gym. at indoor base ball, until the weather permitted them to take up practice outside. Base Ball As soon as the weather permitted candidates for the base ball team reported at Bennet Park for prac- tice and although only two of last year ' s men were back (Captain Nichols and Hoag) some promising material was soon found among the new men, and Coach Gillert and Captain Nichols set about molding a championship team. It certainly looked as if they had succeeded when they went up against Vermontville here. The boys hit at will. King, Nichols and Wilmore leading and only two errors were made in fielding. Hennings and Benton pitched air-tight ball while Lamont did ex- cellent work behind the bat. King and Hoag did some good work in the infield. Score: C. H. S., 12; V. H. S., 0. Wednesday, April 1, Bellevue arrived here. They put up more of a scrap than the Vermontvile team but to no account. Benton pitched shut-out ball for six innings, but in the seventh Hennings went In and pitched good ball but the team was overconfident and Bellevue secured five runs, mostly on errors. Benton, Lamont and Nichols led in batting. Score: C. H. S., 11; B. H. S., 5. As we go to press Charlotte is playing champion- ship ball and prospects are good for a second season.

Only one more race and Charlotte will keep the Geddes ' trophy, that is if we win this year, which looks very probable now as we have over half of last year ' s team back and all the boys are taking a great interest in winning the cup. Only one other school competed with Charlotte — Bellevue — who came in about five minutes behind us. The following are the men who took part: Mclntyre. Shaw. Greenfield. Cobb. Carrick. Horn. Densmore. Lamonte. Snyder, Jr. Kent. Clement. Murray. Hoag. Nichols. Morrow. Perry. Nelson. Snyder, Sr. Pray. Clark. McConnel. Greenman. TRACK. The outlook for track honors for the C. H. S. is good this spring. The boys practice twice a week under the instruction of Mr. White and Captain Pray and there is talk of having a dual meet witli Hastings and sending a team to the track meet at Lansing and St. Johns. Most of the point winners at last year ' s county track meet are back and much Interest is al- leady manifested in the relay race which, by-the-way, Charlotte expects to win. April 27 the standard efficiency test was given the high school boys, each member of a class taking part. This was a meet in which every boy could take part and the boys took more interest than in the regular track meet. However, the regular interclass meet will be held later to pick the C. H. S. track team. Page seventy-seven DELPHIAN, C. E. S. NINETEEN SIXTEEN Calendar, 19l5- ' l6 September — 7 A remarkable day, the grass is green, the trees are green, the halls are green.

NINETEEN SIXTEEN And expose my ignorance to the whole class. She restoreth my sorrows, She causeth me to work hard on equasions Yea, though I study until daylight, She giveth me no consolation. Fractions sorely trouble me, And graduatics and binomials distress me. Thou prepared a test before me in the presence of my seniors. Thou givest me a low grade. My saddness runneth over. Surely hardluck and sorrow will follow me all the rest of my life, And I shall dwell in the nineth grade forever. Unknown.

Anticipate your coal requirements for next winter, as indications are for a great scarcity, principally on ac- count of labor, as the mines are operating about 60 per cent of their capacity, with an advance of nearly 40 cts. per ton for mining. We can fill a reasonable number of orders consisting of the following: Choice screened chestnut for base burn- ers, and stove and egg for furnaces at the advanced prices. Genuine White Ash Lump for grates and heaters. Kentucky Lump for grates and heaters. Manhattan Washed Nut for ranges. Genuine Kentucky Pluto Cannel Lump for grates, heaters and ranges. The Genuine Pocohontas Lump for furnaces and heaters. This coal gives intense heat and requires no more attention that hard coal. Charlotte Gas Co. Coke will give you as many cubic feet of heat units as any coke and at less money. We shall also be prepared to furnish Dry Beach and Maple Slab Wood. Will gladly furnish any information regarding fuel.
