Among all these reminiscences one familiar figure stands out more prom- inently than all others, the figure of one who has guided us faithfully, encour- aging and strengthening us when we were in need, influencing us to do thc greater and nobler things when the opportunity presented itself. Mr. Carrick has been our pilot from the baby class to the point where we must depend on our own resources and our own judgment for guidance, and to the average Senior leaving this year the memory of Mr. Carrick will at all times be an in- spiration and an incentive to the higher things of life. We claim the distinction of being the Hrst class to graduate with the record of having had his kindly, pleasing personality from the first grade onward to make the path an easier and happier one to travel, and it is with grateful spirits and many good wishes to him that we leave. . On a gently sloping prairie land, a little band of courageous settlers began the struggle to lay the foundation of the present prosperous city of Charlotte, in a manner which has proven them worthy of their mission. It was in May, 1841, that a school board was elected and the first plans for a means of edu- cation made. The project for a new school building seemed too much of a financial task for the thrifty board and therefore they decided to repair an old house, the second structure to be built in the village, and conduct an educational institution which was to be in operation three months annually. This building had one window Cand now the manly row of 1918 can be heard gaspingl. This window was a single pane of glass of somewhat meagre dimensions. Boards were nailed to the inside of the wall and long seats arranged to face the same. In this somewhat inadequate building Miss Jane Gallery was engaged to teach for the munificent sum of 31.25 per week, on condition that she obtain a State certificate. The condition was fulfilled. Later the school board was moved, either by force or strategy, to vote a tax which would amount to S5100 to build a new schoolhouse. The dimensions of the new building were 18x26 feet and 10 feet high. VVhen its erection was completed disaster stared them in the face, for, behold the total sum amounted to 2lS172.25. Twenty-one children attended the school, ranging from five to seventeen. During the next few years various teachers were hired, all receiving the Page fifteen DELPHIAN NINBTEEN EIGHTEEN remarkably liberal sums of from 81.08 to 81.50 per week. In 1852 the building was sold for 351850. An academy building was rented, making an additional expense, for the staggering rental amounted to 31.00 per week. In 1846 William Johnson, popularly known as Printer Johnson, started a High school in the front room of his office. He seems to have been a man of rare intellectual ability and created enthusiasm and interest in the school. The essays written by the girls appear to have been masterpieces in sarcasm, and in this they were encouraged by their school master. The boys specialized in declamations and both sexes were renowned throughout the county for their originality. As a branch of this school a joint-stock company was formed and became incorporated as the Charlotte Academy. The land and bell were donated by a Mr. McComb and contract was given Nathan Johnson, who built the Academy without physical aid, and at times it seemed that the financial side of the con- tract needed moral support. In the winter he worked as best he could, muffled in his great coat and his hands purple from the cold, not always cheerfully, strange to relate, but industriously. In 1850 the Academy was completed and seems to have been a masterpiece of art, for its greatest accomplishment was rocking as a cradle in a high wind, and the principal amusement of the boys seems to have been casting stones at the windows. Nevertheless it served the purpose, as all antiques are apt to do. As an investment, the Academy must have proven more of a durable organization than a financial success. In 1859 a graded school was organized, known as Union School, and Henry Robinson was elected moderator. It was not until 1866 that 314,000 for a new central building was raised. The dimensions of this building were 30x60 feet. The final cost of the building amounted to fl420,000. The building was in use until 1913, when the back part was torn down and a modern struc- ture annexed to the old front. The new building is passably convenient, with a chemical laboratory, lecture room, gymnasium and the various other study rooms, but dearest to the hearts of the students is the large assembly room, which holds three hundred and fifty, and has a fairly large stage. In this auditorium all the plays and entertainments are held. There are plenty of windows and always an abundance of fresh air. At the present time Charlotte is on the accredited list of the University of Michigan and her standards are high. Over three hundred attend the High school, and from here a large percentage advance to the higher institutions of learning. In athletics Charlotte has been exceptionally fortunate and persists in turning out winning teams despite the somewhat sleepy spirit which is apparent in the student body as a whole. In declamatory and oratorical work the school seems especially gifted. Altogether the system has been rapidly developed and it is our hope that advantage will be taken for future improvement so that Charlotte schools, as well as Charlotte, may be a credit to those who founded them.

From her place of concealment the Woodland panorama was revealed, and to a passerby the place held only charm and beauty. - Roberta, daughter of Horace Greenly, the president of a large munition plant in Plattsburg, New Jersey, was spending the week with her aunt and uncle, who lived about fifteen miles from that city. She had taken her book and gone for a jaunt in the woods. Intent upon the thrilling story that she was reading, she was unaware of the flight of time. Soon, however, the coming of dusk warned her that she must hasten home. She was startled by the sound of voices nearby. Looking closely she could dimly discern the outline of the figures of four men on the opposite side of the brook, hidden by the trees and shrubs. She did not dare move lest the crack- ling of the twigs on the ground might betray her presence, yet she had been brought up to detest eavesdropping, and they might think her a spy. A spy! That word gave her an idea. In these times a spy meant a great deal. There Was a possibility that these men were Germans. Her eyes slowly widened, the full light of comprehension dawning. Perhaps that was what they were! The words she next heard justified her suspicions. They were quickly and sharply spoken in broken English. Meet at Fifty-Sixth street dock at midnight, Morris plant. You, Zam- ner, hide the bomb. No words, Von Gertz's orders. That was all she could understand. There were a few more words, but she could not clearly hear. Then the voices became indistinct, and the men separated and disappeared. Roberta kept her position for some time. She knew that she must 11ot be discovered. Finally she cautiously made her way into the clearing, and as soon as she came to the turn of the road that hid the woods from view, she ran as fast as she could to the farm house. She rushed into the house only to find a note from her aunt saying that she and her husband had gone to Hicks- ville for the evening and might not return until late. Her decision was made quickly. She would phone her father and tell him, and so save the plant. She tried several times but failed. She then tried to call the plant, but could get no answer. What could she do? The nearest house was a mile distant. She must in some Way notify her father and inform the officers. This was more easily said than done. She Went to the barn, but only the old farm horse remained, the others being in the pasture. She mounted the old horse, and after much cajoling and coaxing he finally broke into a trot. As she passed tl1e house the village clock slowly struck the hour, 8 :00 o'clock. Oh, faster, Tom, faster! VVe must get there in time. Oh, faster, faster! Page forty-eight DELPHIAN NINETEEN EIGHTEEN she cried, as she applied the whip. But the old horse, which was past its days of usefulness, could not make rapid progress. When seven miles of the dis- tance that lay between them and Plattsburg had been covered, the horse began to limp, and at last grew so lame that she had to give up all hope of riding further. Dismounting and giving the horse a little slap that sent him .home- ward, she hastened onward. In the meantime the four conspirators,having gathered at their meeting place, under the Fifty-sixth street dock, proceeded to entertain themselves by playing cards, and thus passing the intervening time until midnight. Roberta, trudging onward, thought she had travelled endless miles, and several times felt that she could not possibly take another step, but the words of the conspirators and the meaning of those words rang through her mind, and the spirit of patriotism, mingled with the fear that seemed to rise and overflow inwardly, when she thought of the disaster that might befall the plant that was making ammunition for Uncle Sam's boys over there, and gave her strength to continue her journey. Yet she feared that it would be practically impossible to walk the remaining distance to Plattsburg in so short a time. Suddenly a black object loomed a short distance before her. She hastened to the spot to find, to her happy surprise, an automobile standing by the roadside. There was a lane leading down the hill to the left of the road, and there at the foot was a cottage. Probably the owner of the car was there. She would ask him if he would take her. No, that would consume time. It was after eleven o'clock then. She would take it anyway! She climbed into the car, started it and sped away. The lights illuminated the road, which now lay like a ribbon before her. She pressed her foot hard on the accelerator, and the speedometer was registering 35, 39, 42, 47, 50. The lights of the city began to come in view, as faster and faster the car approached. Regardless of the signs of warning against speeding, she sped into the city, swerving around corners and taking desperate chances. At last her home on Locust Place came into view. She quickly drove into the driveway, stopped the car, jumped out and rushed up the stone steps, past the maid at the door and into her father's den. Hurry, Dad! The police! The plant is to be blown up at twelve o'clock ! she cried breathlessly. She rushed to the 'phone, summoned the officers and gave directions as to the meeting place of the plotters, under the Fifty-sixth street dock. Roberta and her father and several officers took their places in the borrowed car and sped down the avenue to the plant. As they drove past the church 'the clock was striking the hour. One-two-three. They arrived at the plant and stealthily made their way to the rear, as the clock finished striking twelve. Peering around the corner of the building, Roberta beheld a figure bending low tdthe ground, just about to light the fuse. She gave one piercing scream. The conspirator dropped the bomb and fled. He was pursued by the officers, and he fired several rapid shots at them, but finding that he was unable to escape, he took his own life. The other three conspirators having been captured by the officers, were soon on their way to prison, and Roberta and her father, after settling the affairs at the plant, went home, Mr. Greenly very proud of his daughter and Roberta a very tired young detective. Page forty-nine DELPHIAN NINETEEN r.:lGH'r1-:1-:N THE BEAUTIFUL SACRIFICE. KADELAIDE HART '18.l Softly, as eiderdown is wafted on the summer breeze, the dusky twilight of an Autumn day crept gently through the gardens of Leith. The spirit of unrest seemed to have taken possession of most of the inhabitants of the little village. Groups of giggling girls wandered aimlessly in search of ad- venture, couples busily engrossed in trivial conversation, known to the jeering world as mush and to the young as romance , strolled, peacefully oblivious to the interest manifested from nearby doorsteps, and over all a new, thoroughly wise and goodnatured harvest moon gazed benignly down at the simplicity beneath. In the heart of the little village two men paced up and down a long walk overshadowed by elms. Unconsciously the two represented two ages-one in which brother fought brother for freedom, the other wherein they united to save the world from the dangers of autocraey. The younger of the two was talking passionately, his handsome face flushed by the spirit of his argument, his eyes ilashed and, as he spoke, from time to time he impetuously tossed back the heavy dark hair from his forehead. But, Grandad, when you were seventeen and the call came you didn't wait for th-e draft, you went to fight for what you felt was the right, and today I am twenty and my country needs me. Great Caesar, Major! she has housed and fed me, she has made laws in my behalf and protected my mother's property, and today, when she stands with arms outstretched, tears in her eyes and pleading for help, do you think I am cad enough to turn her away? Well, I guess not g one life is a mighty little to give for a principle as big as this. Mother is financially independent of meg I have only one more year at school and that can wait till I get back, and if I don 't get back I won't need it. My great-great-grandfather fought in the Revolution, you fought in the Civil war, and my dad was killed in action in Cuba? With that record behind me, you ask me to stay at home while France, who saved us once, is struggling for her very life 's blood, and Larry Dennison, whose only ancestral claim is that of a long line of 'booze Hghters', enlisted the day after the call came. No, I'd give a small farm and a fortune to please you and the folks but do you know I believe that somewhere 'way back in our faultless family we could find a line of very common agitators, who did most anything to start a scrap, anyway the fighting blood is strong in me and I feel that my duty to God and my country is greater than that to my family. Suddenly old Major VVinslow turned and, placing his hand on his grand- son's shoulder, looked full into the face before him, and, as he gazed, a tear glistened on his wrinkled cheek and crept away unmolested. You have shown me what a true patriot is, tonight lad, he said. I have prided myself on my family and lived in contentment and prosperity, feel- Page Efty DELPHIAN NINETEEN EIGHTEEN ing that I had done my duty. I went, and I gave your father gladly, but I have shirked miserably tonight, it seems almost too much to ask, but God's will be done, and this is the supreme moment and the great test. Have you spoken to your mother, or shall I? The boy stood silent for a moment and then, though his voice was a little husky, he said, Thank you, Major , that was all, and yet in those few words a greater understanding seemed to strengthen the bond of affection between the two. I guess maybe I'd better tell mother, she will be bitter, I'm afraid, but I rather think it would be the square thing to dof' A little later as Mrs. Winslow was lying on a lounge in her boudoir read- ing to prepare herself for sleep, she was aroused by a soft rap at the door, and then her son 's voice: 'tMother, may I come in? Surely, Jerry, but please do be quiet and close the door softly, and you can tell me just as soon if you don 't lose your breath. Mrs, Winslow looked up at her tall, handsome son with a bright smile and a look akin to pride shone in her eyes. She was a beautiful woman of the typical Irish type, her eyes were a rich soft blue and little shining lights played hide-and-seek in them with each change of expression. To those who knew her they were an unfailing barometer of varying moods. Her hair was brown, with shades of auburn glowing in the soft light, little tendrils had escaped and tenderly caressed her face, her lips were crimson and gently shaped, her forehead high and noble, the faint color of the June rose dyed her cheeks and melted away into the full rich throat. As her son bent over her his heart misgave him. After all, she was his mother, she had suffered and lived only for him since his father's death, would it not be better to remain with her? Surely they wouldn't win or lose the war just because of one man. Then his lips tightened and his chin, so like his mother's, tilted a little more. Couldl he bear to be a slacker-a mere spectator? No, he must fight to be worthy of his mother and his family traditions. At last he spoke. Mother dear, I have decided to join the army before I am old enough for the draft. Some way I think I'd feel better, and you know how much I have to live up to. Jerry smiled as he spoke, and he looked like a boy of fifteen years, he seemed so young and inexperienced to the mother who had reared him. For a few moments after the announcement there was no sound, a death- like silence reigned, as one more American mother fought the battle which all mothers must fight when asked the question, May I go? In this glorious battle one more American mother won, and with tears streaming from her eyes, struggled for control and then smiled bravely and nobly and made herself worthy of the son she had borne. It was long after midnight when Jerry and his mother finished the dis- cussion of details and when he had again heard a recital of the escapades of his youth, the funny sayings of his babyhood and the hopes for his manhood, Page fifty-one DELPHIAN NINETEEN EIGHTEEN it was a wiser, quieter and more serious Jerry who bent over his mother for one of the few remaining goodnight kisses. It was then that the mother suffered and suffered intensely. Her son must never know the terrible void, the awful ache in her heart or the many nights of pain she would spend in his absence. She must not be found wanting to the boy she called hers, but who now, she realized for the first time, was only a gift which at any moment might be whirled away for greater duties and a bigger life than she could offer. She heard the clock strike every hour, and it seemed at times that she must scream aloud at the injustice done. It was no patriotism which moved her, only a blind groping to measure up to her son's standard. What right had that body of men, moved by an indi- vidual, as 'Le President, to take her son, her only child and place him where he might never return, or if he did hisbeautiful body might be mutilated and disfigured. Surely a good God could never inflict such punishment on her. Somehow she never thought of the other mothers, they were different, either they had husbands, or other children and she would have only the Major. Well, Jerry wanted to go and he had never been refused anything in all his life, from the butcher knife in his babyhood, to a speed car in his college days, and now his latest caprice was warg what could have changed him from youth to the man? To be sure, she sewcd for the Belgians and the French, and she thought she pitied them and understood how they felt, every day she spent an hour or two with the rest of the ladies at the Red Cross rooms, and felt that she had done her duty, she never realized that it could be like this. All night she lay torn by anguish of the sacrifice and it was six when she finally arose and prepared for the services. Mrs. Winslow had been brought up to believe that missing church was a sin, and even in her great sorrow she made ready to offer to God the homage due him. It was a beautiful Easter morning and she chose to look her best, for no one would ever know the resentment and pain which she bore, least of all her son. Jerry was up in time for the ten-thirty services and he took his mother with all the pride of a bridegroom, and not wholly unconscious that they made a striking couple. He was in an exalted mood and so full of his own plans that he did not notice his mother's silence. As they entered the church and knelt a moment in silent prayer both asked for guidance, then as the high mass began they followed the forms as usual, Jerry with a new meaning to them and his mother with a feeling of bitterness that she, having served for thirty-five years to the best of her ability was now forsaken by her God. The wonderful Easter music brought only a tightening of the nerves and an effort toward self-control and she was glad when the announcements for the day began. Lost within her own thoughts, she did not arouse herself until the words, It was her supreme sacrifice. Vanily she wondered whose sacrifice, and if it in any way resembled her own. His childhood was one of joy and kindness, his mother was his inspir- ation, his hope and only love. Jesus loved his mother with the reverence Page fifty-two DELPHIAN NINETEEN EIIGHTEEN which God had given him. The voice was soft and low 5 somehow it soothed her and she was interested in the boy Jesus, who had the Wonderful love of his mother. At all times he guided the apostles and those who came to him for comfort, and to him, the sinners of the earth were only mistaken souls for him to administer unto and redeem, his great love for mankind has never been understood and has been studied as but a myth, but, for you and for me He died, leaving His mother to face the sorrow aloneg not that he loved her the less dearly, but that He might be worthy of her and His Heavenly Father, God, land because He loved humanity, and, my dear brethren, the little mother chosen by God for his only son, wept, but not bitterly, her son, her only child hung before her, torn and bleeding, his head crowned with thorns, His body ,sadly mutilated, but a smile was on His tortured lips and He had gone to meet his Heavenly Father with the assurance that the sacrifice was not in vain, the last words, 'Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do,' was the living symbol of His purity and beautiful God-given nature. And Mary raised her head to God and did not lose her faith, He had given her a son to care for and raise to make the world a better place for those who were to follow, and now, He took Him again, and to her was left the supreme sacrifice, even as you mothers today are sending forth your sons, many of them never to return, but all to die in Jesus' name with the smile of love on their lips, and if you have raised them rightly and have fulfilled your duty as Mary, the Mother of God fulfilled hers, they will die with the thought of God in their hearts and the words of Jesus upon their lips, 'Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.' And you mothers at home, know you that to Mary, God gave the greatest sacrifice and sorrow ever suffered by woman, and she bore it with fortitude, raising her heart only in homage and love to her Creator, though she sufered the agonies of death, and I say unto you this Easter morning that the greatest Wish and happiness that I can desire for you is that you may kneel with me and pray, not in bitterness at parting from your Godgiven gift, but at the wonder that He has chosen you to carry the burden of the Mother of God and that you may be worthy of the trust bestowed. Many were silently weeping throughout the church as the tones of the great organ pealed out and the voices of the choir blended in the mass. Mrs. Winslow raised her heart to God and thanked Him for his blessedness in giving her this boy to raise and send into the world to pay the price for greed and avarice, and she prayed that he might always be like unto the other Son, who had died for the salvation of our soul. The bitterness was gone and only love of humanity, God and a true patriotism stirred within her. The subdued notes of the violin died softly, the voices were hushed and the organ tones echoed faintly, a shaft of light glimmered delicately pink across the hushed room, a glorified happiness bathed Mrs. Winslow 's face and peace entered her heart, as one more American mother gave her son in God 's name, perhaps never to return, but always to have lived and died a MAN. Page flfty-three DELPHIAN NINETEEN EIGHTEEN VALE! ERMENTRUDE MARTIN '18.J Grand Trumvirate of Poets, thou who rulest modern thought, Boggar-bard, and Roman singer, follower whom Virgil taught, Even thou whom we hail masters could not tell of all we feel VVhen we stand at Life's great crossroads listening for the trumpet-peal, Calling us to future battles in the coniiict for the right, That continues 'till our eyelids open on eternal light. Lend me lines, oh gentle Virgil, filled with nobly-flowing phrase, Words that bore the ringing music of 'thy Troy's undying: praise. Words that Hector's ardor rendered warlike, noble, tender, true, Words that mourned the aged Priam passion-Hlled as feeling grew. Tender music swells for Dido, chilled, the echo dies away, As the hero's fieet in parting darkens all the gleaming bay. Homer, sightless beggar-poet, tell whence came those magic chords, That, majestic in their sadness, fills the pauses of thy words. Lend me of your golden storehouse, poet-beggar, master-mind, That I may express the yearning throbbing through the darkness blind, Hesitatiou, longing, sadness, reaching for the life to be, Gazing backward through the shadows o'er the Past's unyielding sea. Dante, with thy gentle teacher, thou hast all this shadowed forth, Warm us with thy Southern passion, we are of the colder North. Still we feel the same wild striving, still one spark of mortal fire Smoulders in our smothered bosoms, leading us to regions higher. But repression lasts not always and the spark dares forth at times In a burst of splendid challenge or a peal of golden chimes. Grant, oh Masters, that another of thy perfect strength may rise, One who heareth not Fame's trumpet, gentle, powerful and wise. Who will tell in wondrous music, what our slow tongue cannot phrase, All our love of Alma Mater, all the mourned or treasured days, All the memories that thrill us as we pass the iron door, As the drawbridgne falls behind us and our High school days are o'er. 'Till that master-scribe arises, feeble eifort must suiice, Ever hoping, ever striving, Southern fire with Northern ice. And God grant that each may nobly and with honor wage the fight, 'Till they pause in dusky camp-ground waiting roll-call. Muster-Night, May with honor strive together, tuning each the sounding tring , As the prisoned spirit, loosened, mounting heavenward lark-like sings. Page fifty-four DELPHIAAN NllfN1ET'EEN EIPGHTEEN THE CHAMPION TEAM CDALE FAUSEYJ We had a dandy football team, whose men were strong and brave, They gained us many conquests, and to all we laurels gave. And Murray was their captain, and Joey was his mate, And we called them Murray's warriors for their fighting spirit great. Now a swell young man named Kopka said to Murray and to Near, In a place that they call Hastings we aren't held so very dear, So take your team of 'Indians' and if you play them right, We'1l lift old Hastings' scalp-lock before tomorrow night. So out upon the football field they went with many a cheer, And the way they treated Hastings is wonderful to hear, For Bill Ells made a touchdown on a line-plunge there that day, And Murray made another, despite the slippery clay: Then LeRoy G. did his duty, put the ball across the beam, And neighbor towns are gasping over Charlotte's champion team. Q JUST A LITTLE THOUGHT KCARROLL When the wave of treason billow 'Round the rock on which we stand, Let us then be up and doing, Let us iight for fatherland. Do not work for your advantage, Do not fight for your own hand. Only stop that ruthless slaughter, Fight to win for fatherland. Then no matter where you're working, And no difference where you stand, All your labor should be given To your own dear fatherland. Sometime you may need a country, Sometime you may need it had, S. MILLER. P If to it you'vc nothing given, 'lhen my friends you'll wish you had And where'er you may be living, And wherever you may roam, You will always want a country Just that you may call it home. But, my friends, with all your racket, Though you now may kick and slam You'll find, when in direst trouble, Not one friend like Uncle Sam. And the ensign of a nation, Our good red, white and blue, Waves above the loyal only- It should wave above all you.

The tables were arranged in the shape of a rake and artistically decorated with candelabras and, red and white candles, boquets of pansies tied with red ribbon, at each place. Much credit is due the Grange ladies for the sumptuous dinner, after which the girls spent an enjoyable time dancing. Page fifty-eight DELPHIAN NINETEEN EIGHTEEN FOOTBALL BANQUET. On the 10th of December, 1917, the football boys enjoyed a banquet in the M. E. church parlors, given by the Senior girls. The room was decorated with orange and black pennants, with a football suspended from the ceiling. In the center of the table was placed a large bouquet of yellow and white chrys- anthemums and at each end of the table were candelabras. At each place there were attractive orange and black placards containing pictures of the team and the schedule. Along with these were two poems written by Miss E. Martin in honor of the boys and Mr. Kopka. Mr. Kopka acted as toastmaster and the following toasts were given: I Signals ------ Harold Clement Smashing the Line - William Ells Time Out - - - Mr. Gibbs End Run - - Joe Near Between Halves - - Donald Murray Recitation - - Mr. Kuhn Passing - - Dale Snyder Stone Walls Jack Hockenberry A Touchdown - - Mr. Nielsen Kicking Goal LeRoy Clement The Whistle ------ Mr. Carrick After the toasts Captain Murray presented Mr. Kopka with a gift from the boys. Not enough credit can be given Mr. Kopka and the team for their wonderful football season. We can only say that the following verses ex- press our sentiments exactly: T0 OUR TEAM We've placed our honor in your hands- A precious trust-but,you were trueg You held it high,- and now we're here, Tonight to say we're proud of you.

SENIOR DANCE On the twenty-first of January the Seniors gave a dance in the Maccabee Hall, several members of the class furnishing the music. The Seniors made enough to clear expenses and all who attended reported a very fine time. HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Es zlrt nicht. HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS This year a High School Chorus, consisting of one hundred and eighty-five members has been organized, under the direction of Miss Blomgren. The chorus meets twice ia week for half-hour rehearsals. Each pupil taking chorus work will receive one-fourth of a credit each year. JUNIOR RED CROSS A Junior Red Cross Society was organized at the beginning of the year, with the following officers in charge: President ---- - Lucile Ells - Vice President - - Mildred Hutchins Secretary - - Ermentrude Martin Treasurer ------ Ray Thompson The girls of the High School and Eighth Grade met once a week to knit, under the direction of Mrs. Jessie Jones, Miss Harter Arendsen and assistants. The following articles were knitted: Sweaters, 163 helmets, 105 wristlets, 36 pairsg socks, 14 pairs. The receipts amounted to 952451. The highest collection was 38.28, and the expenditures were S1.6.71. Page sixty DELPHIAN NINETEEN EIGHTEEN REDPATH LYCEUM COURSE The High School put on an entertainment course this year consisting of four numbers, each under the auspices of a different class. The committee was composed of five students and four faculty members and they selected four of the best attractions given by the Redpath Lyceum Bureau. The first number, The Weber Male Quartet,'l was given Friday, No- vember 2, 1917. Their work was strictly high class and it is doubtful if a better male quartet can be found today on the concert platform. The second number, The Great Lauraut and His Company, was held Saturday, De- cember 15. Lauraut's magic was clever and his tricks were performed with the greatest ease. Chancellor G. H. Bradford appeared in the third number, lecturing on the Destiny of America, and through his lecture showed him- self to be an orator in the truest sense. The last number consisted of a concert given by The Smith-Spring, Holmes Company, and upheld the high stan- dard reached by the previous entertainments. This entertainment course was such a success financially and otherwise that it is to be hoped the High school will continue the production of similar courses in the future. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET, 1917 . The annual Junior-Senior banquet was held in the Masonic Temple, June 12, 1917, at 6:30 o'clock. The dining room was elaborately decorated with white and green, white lattice work entwined with green. Yellow and white streamers were hung from the ceiling and at the entrance of the hall was placed a flag, with a background of ferns and spirea. The favors, Aaron Ward Roses, were placed beside the souvenir dinner programs and nut-baskets at each place. An excellent four-course dinner was served by the ladies of the Eastern Star. Mr. Grover C. White, our esteemed teacher and friend, acted as toast- master. The following responded to toasts: Bombs ---- Miss Florence Cole Rapid Fire - - Miss Lora Cooley Aeroplanes - Miss Alice Greenawalt Conscription - - Mr. F. J. Gibbs Liberty Bond ---- Miss Mildred Jordan Entertainment was furnished by the Olivet College Girls' Glee Club and the Charlotte Orchestra. Page sixty-one 1'-7 .- '+'!P e - '5 '?F '?7'1 '? TiT?

QE ATE N SE CHOOL S GH HI DELPHIAN NINETEEN EIGHTEEN ATHLETIC BANQUET The athletic banquet, given by the 'Senior and Junior Girls in honor of the football, basketball and base ball boys, and basketball girls, was held in the Congregational Church parlors June 8, 1917. A fine three-course dinner was served and everyone spent an enjoyable evening. Mr. Nielsen made a pleasing toastmaster. Archie LaMont, President of the Athletic Association, gave a farewell talk to the boys, after which he awarded the basketball and base ball letters. Clifford Wilmore awarded the football letters, and Myron Pray the track letters. Mr. Corbett, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., also gave a talk to the boys and praised them for their conscientious work in athletics. The following were elected captains for the coming year: Donald Murray ------ Football Joe Near - - Basketball Jack Hockenberry Base Ball Dale Snyder ------- Track The basketball letters were awarded to the girls by their coach, Mr. White. Anna Horn was elected captain for the coming year. Thus a successful year in athletics was closed. C. H. S. SENATE Harold Clement, President E. J. Kulm, Attorney General. Harley Rudesill, Secretary-Treasurer Harold Martin, Sergeant-at-Arms U. II. Carrick, Governor Embree Whittum, Asst. Sergeant-at-Arms. The C. H. S. Senate is a body of thirty-two members, usually chosen from upper classmen. It imitates, as far as possible, the State Senate. This year eight successful meetings were held. Due to the closing of school and special lectures, the number of meetings was smaller than in former years. But this shortcoming was overcome by the spirited debates and flowery oratory heard in the making of the laws of our State. Nine bills were presented before the Senate this year, six of which were passed and became laws.

A Passing Show of 1917 was given in the High School Auditorium on the seventh of December, 1917. This play was written and directed by Mr. E. J. Kuhn, head of the Science Department, Miss Katherine Sattler oiiciating at the piano. The leading parts were taken by Miss Marian Sattler,' Cho San, Mr., Donald Murray, Bob, Mr. Merlyn Mason 1917. An attractive chorus con- sisting of Louise Cooper, Francis Van Auken, Helen Barnes, J. Erma Beach, Verna Powell, Ruth Wildern and Mildred Hutchins sang some catchy numbers. The Geisha dance by Harlow Stearns,,Agnes Havens, Paul Griiin, Ruth Bier- bower, Roger Wight, Vivian McLaughlin, Billy Alsover and Madeline Hall, was very pretty. The Dance of the Nations was also very attractive, and those taking the parts were: Spanish, Margaret Hutchins and Vance Walters, Brittany Folk Dance, Rose DeFoe, Russian, Mr. E. J. Kuhn, Grecian, Lucile Ells, Minuet, Anetta Knight and Noel Dunning, Virginia Reel, Francis Van- Auken, Theo. Bottomley, J.

Page sixty-four DELPHIAN NINETEEN EIGHTEEN JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Class gave R. W. Tully's college farce, A Strenuous Life, on Friday, May 10th, as their production for 1918. The scene of the play is laid in Berkley, at the University of California, and reveals some of the amus- ing incidents that sometimes take place in university life. Leighton McLaugh- lin, Harley Rudesill, Dale Fausey and the other members of the cast Won for themselves great appreciation from the audience by their clever interpretations. The cast was as follows: Tom Harrington Reginald Black James Roberts Professor James Dan Davenant Professor Magee Byron Harrington Nugata - - Marian Davenant Mrs. Wiggins - Ruth Thornton Dulcie Harrington Mrs. Maguire -------- A great deal of credit is due Miss Eldridge and Miss Hoag for their un- tiring efforts in making the play a success.

The oificers chosen by the Association were: President, Donald Murrayg Vice President, Adelaide Hart: Secretary, Mildred Jordang and Treasurer, E. J. Kuhn. Mr. Kopka was elected Athletic Director and at his departure the place was filled by Mr. Rowan. FOOTBALL About September 25, the call for football men was issued by Coach Kopka and Cap'ain Murray and in spite of the '17 Delphian's dismal prophesy the year was started with enthusiasm and a cheerful spirit. The veterans reporting from last year's team were: Captain Murray, Near, Hockenberry, Smith, Parker, Snyder and Harold Clement. In addi- tion to this motley array about twenty-five fellows answered the cal-1. Coach Kopka began at the flrst letter in the Football alphabet and carried them relentlessly through to Z, using pep and ginger for backbone and hard work combined with willingness and good spirit for the rest. After about two weeks of preliminary drill in punting, falling on the ball, tackling and blocking, a first squad was picked consisting of Captain Murray, in his old position at right half, still using his head for attack, defense and brain work: Near, one of the fastest men ever donning a football uniform in Charlotte, at left half: Ells, a new man but one who proved time and time again that he is the best line plunger Charlotte has ever had at fullback: Harold Clement, who played quarter backg Lester Parker and Leroy Clement, two of the best flankers seen on the local grid. in years, at left and right respectivelyg Whittum and Smith, two good steady workers, were tackles: and Hockenberry and Mason at guards set a record for themselves inasmuch as no team tackled this year by the Charlotte boys could make their downs against them: Snyder at center played a steady game and at all times the passing from center was safe and sure: Stewart, one of the subs receiving a C , was an all round man playing tackle, guard or center. The other reserves, Hunter, I-Iorn, Preston and McDougal deserve mention for the splendid spirit which they showed coming out each night even when all hopes of receiving C's were gone. S C 0 R E S. Marshall 10 ---- Charlotte 12 Mason 0 - Charlotte 45 Bellevue 0 - Charlotte 42 Eaton Rapids 0 Charlotte 49 Hastings 7 - Charlotte 21 Bellevue 6 - Charlotte 58 Marshall 0 - Charlotte 6 Eaton Rapids 0 Charlotte 61 Hastings 0 ---- Charlotte 14 To Charlotte's 232 points her opponents gathered only 23. One unusual and very noteworthy fact was the starring of Leroy Clement kicking goal, for he kicked twenty- eight consecutively thereby making a record which we hope he will even break next year. Not a little credit is due to the labors of Mr. Kopka for there has never been a Page seventy DELPHIAN NINETEEN EIGHTEEN cleaner, better fighter or more all round fellow in our schools and to him the team award their success, while he in turn gives all to the boys. It was this very pirit which made coach and team work together harmoniously and turn forth the most successful eleven Charlotte ever had. The Delphian predicts a successful year for '18 and while it is gaoing to be a difficult task to fill the places vacated by those graduating, still, we know that all students and football men will co-operate in making another banner year, for the glory of old C. H. S. and may she always be victorious. GIRLS BASKET BALL The girls developed one of the best teams Charlotte has ever had under the leadership of Miss Morhous, winning every game, including two games with the fast Jackson team. Captain Anna Horn and Agnes Youngs as forwards made baskets from all parts of the floor and their team work has never been excelled in the local Gym. Margaret Sleater was the jumping center and kept her opponents busy at all times. Adelaide Hart was the scrappy running center and gave the audience many thrills by her brilliant playing. Ruth Horn and Gertrude Cole as guards were a source of worry to every forward they faced this year and their sticking qualities are famed. No little credit must be given the substitutes and second team for they were invaluable in their assistance. The girls are setting a record for victories as they haven't lost a game in two years.

F. H. Clement, L. F. Murray, C. Ells, R G. Fausey, L. G. Subs: Snyder and Horn. A call issued for Basket Ball candidates resulted in the assembling in the gymnasium of a motley host of all sizes. As soon as order was brought out of the chaos the teams were lined up. Quite a bit of rivalry was held between classes and some good class games were witnessed. A iirst team chosen about a week after practice started, journeyed to Olivet all resplendent in new suits. Captain Near at R. F. played a remarkable game and led his team to victory in eight out of nine games. A feature of Near's work was his foul shooting. Snyder at L. F. played a consistent game. Murray at center was at his best this year, out jumping all his opponents and playing the best door game of his Page seventy-one DELPHIAN NINETEEN EIGHTEEN career: gave some wonderful exhibitions of basket shooting. Ells at R. G. was one of the fastest and best guards C. H. S. has had in years. Fausey at L. G. played a steady game and very seldom was out played. L. Clement who replaced Snyder at L. F. was just rounding into shape when he was forced out of the game by an operation for appendicitis. H. Clement was put in L. F. and played in that position the rest of the year. The team journeyed to Hastings to meet the much touted Barry County Champs, Middleville. The Barry County Quintet must have been overawed by the Mammoth Hastings Gym as they forgot all about the game and when the final whistle blew Charlotte was leading 29 to 8, capturing the championship and another cup for the trophy room. One of the features of the game was the stellar guarding by Charlotte. The Middleville forwards were unable to locate the basket for a single counter from the field.

Bellevue was second with 292. The schools represented were Charlotte, Bellevue. Nashville, Vermontville, Eaton Rapids, and Grand Ledge. The individual honors went to Wilmore of Charlotte. Willy scored 19 points and won the all around trophy. A new record for the javelin was set by him-127 feet 8 inches. The base ball throw, a new event, was won by Davidson of Bellevue-299 feet 8 inches. The meet was one of interest throughout and some fine work was done on all teams.

' One of the most sumptuous weddings of the season occurred at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Richardson on last Wednesday evening. The Bride was beautifully gowned in a dress of pink chiffon over red cheese cloth, which'was trimmed with jet fringe. She carried Sweet Willia.m and Bleeding Heart. . The Groom, the son of Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Cicero, is very popular with the students of C. H. S., especially in the Latin department, 'in which he is a professor. He will be remembered by the Alumni, as a very popular but dif- ficult person to understand. Evidently Miss Richardson understands him, for she has taken him as a partner for life. Many hotables were present, includ- ing Virgil, Homer and Mrs. Fisher.

Whittum, otherwiseknown as Gloomy Gus , the left handed speed king, came to an untimely death on our race track. He. was taking one of the curves at a high speed Q in a borrowed jlordy when suddenly the car stumbled over a horse hair on the track. The acrobatic stunts described would make a circus tumbler green with envy. It gave a tail spin, ran its nose into the dirt, stood on its head, crawled on its side and balanced itself on one wheel, in fact, it did everything that a Ford should not do. After it concluded its playful mood and lay still a much disheveled broken up young man was dragged from under the car. His last breath had flown away on golden wings and little Hal E. had passed in his checks. E P. S. Funeral 13 o'elock-Western time, at Hutchins' residence. Bring no flowers., A REALLY SERWHJILEMMY Such mammoth crowds -have been present at the Athletic Games in the Gym this season that the students are considering petitioning the School Board for an addition. The business men and student body have had to stand for hours to purchase tickets and then could 'not enter the Gym because of the crowded condition pre- vailing. . An unusual display of spirit is at all times evident among the students, and one thing that delights and encoulhges the players, is to have some one ap- proach them a week after'the game and be anxious to learn 'the score. Such enthusiasm and interest should be copied by other communities. TIN FOIL-TEA LEAD Receive our prices before your sell. We pay less than anyone in town. Oifice house 7 a. m. to ,G p. m.. Office S.

XVhy, every one of us spent our first days in a cradle Q made of wood. Our lives have been lived between walls of two-by-fours and lath, with wooden rafters over our heads and matched flooring under our feet. W'e have been sitting 011 wooden chairs, eating from Wooden tables, riding i11 wooden bob sleds, and in course of time we will be laid to rest in a wooden casket.
