Sadness, since it represents a farewell to four years of vivid experiencesg smiles, because it marks the point from whence one may look back on four years of work well done, and to start in the higher education, from which we will make our professions in life. And as you turn the pages of this book, gentle reader, you too may look back with us on the past four years, laugh with us as we have laughed, mourn as we have mourned. And as you live this school life over with us you will perhaps better appreciate the fruits of our effort and better ,sympathize with our shortcomings. Just as the near view of the beautiful scene is clear, with every object sharply defined, so the last year of our sojourn here will be more distinct. Like- wise, as the scene fades away into purple hills and tinted mists, so our first school years will melt into faint suggestions. f And as we make this comparison we ought to be impressed with the true worth of our Delphian to us. If we can forget the incidents of our lirst years so soon, while still connected with Charlotte, how much sooner must friends and faces be forgotten when we go out in the world totake up new lines of endeavor. The Class of 1919 sincerely hopes that the annual may continue to flourish and improve as the years pass. PAGE 13 ACHIEVEMENT W Many a wise and glorious master Of the noble art of rhyme, Vllorshipped as a new-found idol Or a bard of olden time, In a slow and stately measure, Or the cadence of a song Names this life a race which mortal Runs 'against Death, amid the throng. And at times the labored runner, Lifting straining, anxious eyes, Catches, through the cloudy distance, Glimpses of where victory lies. And the proud heart scorns and mocks at His opponent, stern and grim, Gazing Where a White-robed figure Holds the prize that waits for him. , l Ever onward, striving, yearning, . 'Till he falls across the goal, Still reviling Death, the loser, Begs the prize with hungry soul. Smiling bends the Judge above him, Bearing two Wreaths, formed the same, i One, the myrtle of Oblivion, One, the laurel bough of Fame. PAGE 14 NVhich? The victor mutely questions, And his past deeds answer true, '4Yours. the tender. noble nature, Fame's fair Wreath We give to you! Then he turns to see the loser-1 But he's vanished like a breath, And the gentle Judge is speaking, By our deeds We conquer Deathf' 77 -E.

I rushed right up to gather him. my ignorance was crassg He seized the opportunity and gave me poison gas. I planted watermelons in my garden patch last spring, Alongside of the sweet corn, underneath its sheltiring wing.

I knew the people kept a dog but never However, on the home stretch, in a bog He seized the opportunity and patches Excuse me but I really had no intent to peeveg I notice a shillalah you are slipping up your sleeve.

This seemed very sad to them, as the horse, whose name was Copperhead. had been almost as one of the family. He was a slick, beautifully muscled sorrel. He carried him- self in a rather haughty manner. When young, he had been taught many things and possessed great intelligence. Mr. Brown had turned him out in the pasture and as it was a bright, warm day in late spring. Copperhead decided not 'to let his master take nim to the barn at night. He trotted away toward the other side of the field and had spent his time grazing on the tender grass. Mr. Brown gave up trying to take Copperheadto the barn. as it would be of no use to try to catch him then. From the west a dark cloud arose Slowly. but steadily it blotted out the rays of the setting sun. It kept growing larger until finally it seemed that all was darkness. A few sprinkles hit the brow of Copperhead. By this time his head was erect, for above all things he hated rain. lt kept growing darker until objects close by were hardly distinguishable, The rain in- creased until it seemed to be pouring. A slight wind had been blowing at the beginning of the night, but this had increased to a light gale. Copper- head sought the shelter of a nearby tree. but this seemed only to make the rain beat against him more violently. He hugged close to the tree. his neck bent close to the ground and with feet drawn in under his body. as if this would provide shelter for them. By this time it was utter darkness and in a few minutes the rain had increased. It seemed to come in sheets. In- stantly a glare of bright lightning shot through the air. Caipperhead's head flew up but he did not stand there long as immediately a great roll of thun- der came to his ears. He started on a mai gallop across the field. His feet slipped on the wet ground and every once in a while he would stumble over a stone which protruded from the earth t Suddenly he was hurled to the ground. He hit on a rail fence, which tumbled to the ground as his weight struck it. The sharp point of a stick pierced his side and, struggling desperately, he tried to get up. It was raining in a great downpour then. His feet were caught in the rails and after a great amount of exertion he finally loosened them. but in doing so a stick was hurled against one of his eyes. He got up and stood. trembling for PAGE 48 I I' ' J ' 1 ' 1 vi al . l ii. n in i, a moment, but he soon started out on a fast walk. Feeling weaker he decided to lie down, as the wound was causing the loss of a great amount of blood from his side. The ground was muddy and damp, but Copperhead felt safer. His body trembled and he longed for the morning to come. How he wished that he had gone to the barn when his master came for him. Suddenly a blinding glare, accompanied by a deafening crash stirred Copperhead's settling frightfulness. In the intense light he saw the gate. He felt relieved, for he would try to break the gate down and get in under the shelter of the barn. NVeakly climbing to his feet, he walked toward it. Feeling with his nose along the top of the gate he found, to his surprise, that it was open. He walked through and glancing upward he saw a small Hame of fire. This was probably the barn, which Copperhead realized, must be afire. He must do something to let his master know about it. Staggering flizzily toward the house he, decided to help in some way. He was growing very weak and he doubted whether he could reach the house. But -im- mediately he felt the liard stone steps. Climbing these he felt that weakness would stop him from going any farther. He reeled and fell against the door, as the last of his strength was gone. Mr. Brown heard the crash and entering the next room, he saw the fire on the barn. The family passed out the back door and it was not until the next morning that they found the dead body of Copperhead, where he had fallen in doing his last duty to his master. THE RECLAMATION OF GRANDMA BASCOM. The eastern sky flamed crimson and gold in the rays of the morning sun and the whole universe seemed bathed in golden splendor. The sun ikissed the dew-glistening rose and made it, blush. The bright rays sifted through the honeysuckle vine and fell upon the sweet, furrowed brow of Grandma Bascom, who was dressed in bonnet and shawl ready for a journey. As she rocked to and fro waiting for the stage-coach, which was soon to bear her away from her ivy covered little cottage to the poor-house, two miles distant, she lived over in her mind the changing seasons since she camo to Edgewood, a fair young bride. In the myrtle covered Rest just oier the hill she had laid two little ones and a dearly loved companion. Two manly sons and a daughter dear, she had sent forth into the worldls glimmering light, whom Fame and Procrastination claimed as their slaves. In time their cherished letters had ceased and mother was forgotten. Ah, little ones on yonder hill would you too have gone forth into the wide, wide world and left mother behind? As in a vision she recalled the little curly head of a neigh- bor's orphan child, for whom she had made wonderful ginger-bread boys and had loved as one of her own, little Jamie Bennett. UDear little Jamie, PAGE 49 l where are you? Do you remember that day you threw poor pussy in the rain barrel? l 'Somewhere in the great wide universe he, too, was engrossed, and she hoped successfully. Now in old age she finds herself alone and seemingly forgotten. as all letters sent to find her loved ones have been returned Hunelaimedl' The beautiful old Bennett estate is now occupied by strangers and most of the old neighbors are gone too. She wandered through her home and gathered little mcmentos of the past. Percival's little ball, a wee pinafore that rosy-faced Harold had worn, and two little shoes. How well I remember when Ellen first wore them. llt was the day that Alice Bennett came to Edgewood with her handsome baby boy. How he did laugh and crow when he found Jerry curled up on the hearth rug. As she passed through the parlor, she paused before an oval frame from whose recess smiled the face of a beautiful young girl of the long ago. The eyes are now faded, her tresses long since turned from golden brown to silver white, but still the features bear a marked resemblance, though years have come and gone. She brushed the tears from her eyes as she thought of that day long ago when she had placed a beautiful locket with the miniature of the same sweet face, around the neck of her own dear Ellen and with a God bless and keep you. my daughter, had watched her start off on her wedding journey with her young husband. , Then a day had come when a message was received, telling her of hier daughter's death, after giving birth to a wee baby girl who bore her name and likeness. The father wished his daughter to have all the advantages lof the cityg so the fondest desire of her heart was denied and the motherly arms that ached for the precious burden never' were rested. The voice of the old negro stage-driver saying, Whoa, dar, Daisy, doan yo' get funny, I shure will hit yo' wid dis whip ef yo' do, aroused her from her reverie. 'tltlornin' Missus Bascomf' greeted the negro, Hfine mornin' to be goin' for a ride.'-' , 'fYes, Uncle Joshua, it surely is. How is that little new granddaughter? 'KOh, she am the handsomest gal yo' ever set eyes on, yes, she am line, but Lor' how she can cryin l With one last longing look she closed the doors upon the past, and totterbd down the steps to the gate and was Hput in by the kindly hand of the stage- driver and carried away oler the hills to the poor-house. The wild flowdrs along the way seemed to say, Farewell, dear Grandma, farewell, 'tis not for long, so be of good cheerfl i Two years passed, when one day the curiosity of the village folk was arousizd by the appearance of a stranger in their midst. He was tall, broad shouldered, handsome and pleasant. He had gone to the little cottage where Grandma Bascom had lived and found it was elosedj He inquired among the neighbors PAGE 50 but most of them were new ones and knew nothing of the old lady. Being greatly perplexed, he sought the open country. As he neared the little cottage on his return to the village, he saw a young boy mowing the lawn, so he quickened his footsteps. 'tDo you know anything about the old lady that used to live here? The boy looked up with a bright smile, t'No, sir, I don 't, but I guess maybe Mr. Hamil could. He is the caretaker you knowfl Where is Mr. I-Iamil, boy? HHe's gone west, somewhere to hunt a gold mine, so the villagers say. Mr. Hamil is-- I don 't care what Mr. Hamil is, what I want to know is how I can get hold of him or when he will be back. HVVell, I guess youill have to wait awhile, for you can't get hold of him till you find him and you can't find him because nobody knows where he's gone. With a heavy heart the stranger turned away, and that night boarded the train for New York. Twice he had failed. All letters he had sent had been returned and now no one knew where she was. On arriving in New York, he found his big motor waiting for him and was driven immediately to his rooms. He switched on the lights and sitting down to his desk began writing. Suddenly he crushed the lettersheet and tossed it into the waste basket. Donning his coat and hat, he emerged into the dark damp, and foggy night. i After walking several blocks he turned in at a large stone house He gave the bell a loud ring and was instantly admitted by the maid. Hardly had he entered the library before he heard the faint rustling of garments and looking up saw a young girl dressed in mourning coming toward him. Jamie, is it really you? Vifith a swift. movement the young man had the slender form of the girl in his arms and was murmuring soft words of love. Oh, you have been gone so long, I was afraid you weren't coming back. 'Vifere you, dearest? But I have come and shall not leave you again. Ella. my search has been in vain, I could find no traces of her whatever. Now, tell me, dearest, about yourself. Tomorrow, the dear old home has to be sold and my lawyer thinks there may be some money left, but not much. VVhen we looked over father is papers we found that there were more debts than we expected. 'tElla, will you not consent now? Tomorrow the house will be sold, you have no place of your own. and I swear that I will not see you enter the employment of anyone. I love you, I want you for my wife, I will give you all that love and money can. I know, dear, it is soon after your father's death, but you need someone to protect you. VVon't you consent now? He held the trembling form closer, while she struggled with her pride and love. Slowly she became quiet, then raised her head, and in the tear wet eyes Jamie read his answer. Love had won. God bless you, my darlingf' and he was gone. E 4 PAGE 51 Two weeks later a happy young couple left the train at Edgewood atnd secured rooms at the village inn. The young bride being wearied by the long journey kept her room, while her husband sought information of the where-' abouts of an old acquaintance. But search as he would, he could learn nothing. The next day as he was going past the home of the one he sought, he saw the young lad whom he had questioned some weeks ago about Grandma Bascomg with him was a man. Mr. Bennett crossed the lawn to where thley stood. Good morning, sir, greeted the lad. HI see you're back again. l This is Mr. Hamil, am I right?'i i Yes, that is my name. You are the gentleman who was here to see meili' t'Yes. Do you know where Mrs. Bascom is? I VVell, yes stranger, I- ah -she was sent to the poor house about two years ago. . Mr. Bennett restrained the stinging words that rose to his lips, and in a haiid. tense voice said, 'WVho sent her there and why?'l 4iWell, she was all alone and getting pretty old, so some of her friends thought she would be better off there. For myself, I objected but-- 'tNever mind your objections. Is she there now?'7 f'Yes, I was there to see her yesterday. Can you get this place in good condition by tomorrow? Hire some help and get busy. I'll see to the payf' ' Cl KK All right. I'll do my best. l Mr. Bennett hastened to the Inn. asked where to tind the head man of the poor-house, then went to his wife. i Ella, I have found her at last and am going to bring her back to her home tomorrowfi 0011, I'm so glad, where is she, dear?l' i UI saw the caretaker and he told me that two years ago she was sent to the poor-house. The place is being made ready for tomorrow. Now I am going to see Mr. Bangs about Grandma Bascomls release Good-bye, dear, Illl be back soon. A few hours later he returned and told his anxious bride that everything was all right. The next afternoon Mr. Bennett took his wife to the cottage which thdy found in perfect order. Leaving her ensconced in the swing on the porch to enjoy the fragrance of the flowers wafted on the gentle breeze, he hastendd down the shady road to the poo :house to bring Grandma Bascom back to her dear old home. The poorhouse, a low rambling wooden structure, stood back a good bit from the road. The wide veranda was shielded from the scorching beams of the sun by thickly woven vines, so that the young man was unnoticed as he approached. An old lady was rocking to and fro with folded hands and a faraway expression in her faded eyes. l PAGE 52 At the foot of the steps the young man listened, the old lady in the rocker was singing in a low quavering voice, I'm going home, yes, I'm going home. li Mounting the steps at a bound and crossing the piazza he exclaimed, Yes, Grandma Bascom, you are going home, and it 's your own little Jamie Bennett come all the way from New York to take youf' A happy smile flitted across the care-worn face, and with loving arms she clasped the orphan boy to her heart. Sitting by her side and caressing her withered hand the while, Jamie told her of his great success in the east. 'tDear Grandma, I have brought with me a priceless jewel. She, too. is an orphan and longs for your motherly love. HTell me, son, more of this jewel-I shall love her, I know.'l 'tIt is not a long story, dear. She was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Her mother died when Ella was very small. Her father loved her dearly and gave her everything that heart could wish. I met Ella at a ball and was fascinated by her beauty. She has the same blue eyes and golden hair, as those of a sweet faced girl I used to admire in your home. Ella's father failed in business, and shortly after this great calamity he died and Ella was left to buffet the cold ways of the world. There was silence except for the twittering of the birds and the rustling of the leaves. Then Grandma Bascom raised her tear-dimmed eyes and saigl. Jamie, take me to my childfl 'When they reached the cottage and entered the parlor, they saw, standing before a portrait, gazing with satisfied longing on a locket with the miniature, then on the portrait, fair Ellen. She turned with a radiant smile and Jamie for the first time saw the great likeness. The truth seized upon him and he turned toward Grandma Bascom, but not before his fair bride, who was there before him, was kissing and caressing the dear old face and saying 'tDear Grandma, can't you see you are reclaimed by your own little Ella and that you really belong to Jamie dear and melll' Grandma folded the young girl to her motherly heart, overflowed with joy. At last she beheld her own Ellen's child, little Ella, whom she had longed so long to see. The sun sank low in the western sky and as the last bright rays faded away, the tiny, twinkling stars peeped from the folds of twilight's flowing robe. The glowing silver moon ascended the heavens and its silvery beams peeped through the rustling vine and fell upon the happy trio enjoying' the end of a MPerfect Day. RUTH M. CHAMBERLIN.

The entertainment was so well received by the high school students that a pubilic performance was given in the High School auditorium, February 12th. The action of the farce occurs in Aunt Dinah Peabody 's comfortable livi! g room, on a winter afternoon and evening. Aunt Dinah entertains the village gossipers at a quilting party. Mr. Robert Hunter, Aunt Dinahls boarder appears and makes a very favorable impression, particularly on Mirandy Spriggins. Freddie is repeatedly snubbed but secretly plots revenge. quilt is finished and supper is prepared. During the meal the Deacon arrivies bringing his niece, Nellie. After an impromptu program, dancing is enjoyed by the young set, when everything is suddenly thrown into confusion by the entrance of a ghost. Freddie has had his revenge. Robert and Nellie are lovers and though the match is opposed by Nellie 's parents a hurried Wedding takes place and there is a happy ending for all. PAGE 62 JUNIOR PLAY The Juniors presented their annual play in the High School Auditorium on Thursday evening, April 17, under the direction of Miss Hyatt and Miss Yerkes. And Home Came Ted, a cleverly written three act comedy of mystery and fun, held the interest of the audience from beginning to the end by a series of dramatic situations arising from one climax to another until the final denouement at the close of the last act. The action of the comedy occurs in the office and reception room of the Rip VanVVinkle Inn in the Catskill Mountains and the plot has to do with the struggle for the legal possession of the property between Mollie Macklin, the plucky little housekeeper, and one Ira Stone, an unscrupulous physician, who hopes to turn the inn into a sanitarium. Complications arise from the very outset and things seem to be in a hopeless muddle but in the third act, slowly, bit by bit, the many mysteries of the play are solved, surprise fol- lows surprise until everything is straightened out and the faithful little housekeeper, Mollie Macklin, finds the road to happiness. There was no star role in this play for it was an all-star cast. Max Cheney as Skeet, a slangy, good-natured boy, delighted the audience with his ready wit and wholesome fun. Marian Sattler, in the role of Diana Garwood, the heiress, played the part with exceptionally good grace and ease. Dollie Houghtaling, the housekeeper, immediately captivated the audience as well as Skeet, by her clever acting and winsome ways Blendon Blasier showed himself to be a very versatile actor in his role as civil engineer, mystery man, and in his final success in winning the heart of an heiress. And the villain was there too, in Lawrence Towe, and though he was finally defeated in his purpose he played the game to the end. Leone Phillips made a splendid Negro mammy and her command of language was surprising to say the least. Gertrude Cole, in the role of the Honolulu widow, was altogether charming and played her part well. Cecil Morgan made a most convincing lawyer and a very amusing farmer and it would be difficult to state in which he was most successful. As to Agnes Youngs as Elsie and Robert Jordan, as Ted, they were very clever actors and made a typical bride and groom. James Pollard, a very pleasing Senator. but also a very irate and just parent helped greatly in the final satisfactory outcome of the play. The cast of characters was as follows: Skeet Kelly, the clerk - - Diana Garwood, the heiress Miss Loganberry, the spinster Do-ctor Stone, the villain - Aunt Jubilee, the cook - Mr. Man, the mystery - - Jim Ryker, the lawyer - V Mollie Macklin, the housekeeper Miss Henrietta Darvey, the widow Fred, the groom - - - Elsie, the bride - 5 - - Senator M'Corkle, the father - - Max Cheney .

A successful year was expected owing to the enthusiasm displayed by the students. Foo'1':BALLi ' A At the beginning of the second week, a meeting was called of- all the boys to elect a Captain. William Ells was elected to fill that position. ln spite of the fact that all the men, with the exception oefpthree, were new men, they went on the field with the determination of winning. ,The first two ornthree weeks were spent in studying rules, in passing the ball, tackling, blocking, etc. After four weeks of practice- the team went out for the first game of the season, with Battle Creek High. Battle Creek had a team composed of ex- perienced players, the Charlotte squad being much lighter. For the want of experience and team work our boys were unable to hold the Battle Creek squad.

The Delphian predicts a winning team for '19 as there are only two seniors on the team and this year's practice will give them an insight into football. ' BOYS' BASKET BALL ' , A call for basket ball candidates was given and every Monday, Ylfednesday and Friday the boys flocked to the gymnasium for their tryouts. Quite a bit of rivalry developed as there was very strong competition. Finally Coach Nevue 'picked the following team to play the first game of the season, with the Home Guards: Captain Fausey, L. G., Schroth, R. G., Horn, Center, Welch, R. F., Ells, L. F. With these men as a line-up they set up a defense that most teams found hard to penetrate. Captain Fausey at Guard played a very steady and consistent game. Schroth at R. G. is one of the best stationary guards Charlotte has had in years. Horn at Center showed his ability many times' in basket shooting from the center of the floor. With two years more of experience Horn will develop into one of the best players Charlotte High School has ever had. Welch at R. F. played a remarkable game and also showed his skill in basket shooting. Ells at L. F. played a very steady game. Bottomley and Hamil- ton, who were several times put in the game, showed their basket ball skill. VVith Horn, Schroth, VVelch, Bottomley and Hamilton as a nucleus for 'next year, theyiought to develop into a remarkable team. A . Scores :+ 3 Home Guards, 30, Charlotte High School, 23.

V 1 GIRLS' BASKET BALL This year with the promise of a winning team the girls started basket ball with the determination to put Charlotte upon the map. Time and again their winning ability was shown and they soon became one of the strongest contenders for the state title. Anna Horn, who was re-elected captain, proved that she had improved since her triumphs of last year. At all times she led in basket shooting ability. Davis at the other forward was one of the fastest players Charlotte has had for some time and we hope for even a better record for her next year. Zederbaum at jumping center put it all over her opponents in jumping, ,as well as in team work. VVildern developed into a very speedy running center and seemed to always be in the right place. Ruth Horn and Gertrude Cole lived up to their former standard. Indeed it may be well said that Charlotte had two of the best guards in the state and many of the games were wlon through their fighting abilities. Youngs proved that she is an all around player and showed her ability by starring at running center. Charlotte need not worry about forwards for in Sassaman and Wright we have two players who, with a little more experience, will be wonders. Eastman as substitute guard showed that she was a player of no mean ability in the games in which she played. January 10, the Olivet girls visited our city. Charlotte showed their s ,ill by defeating them, 17 to 9. i A week later they journeyed to Battle Creek and were defeated in a rough, hard fought game. The game was given to the Battle Creek girls by the referee who fouled Charlotte unfairly. Score: Charlotte High School, 155 Battle Creek High School, 17. Two weeks later they met Eaton Rapids upon their home floor. VVh,en the scrimmage was ended the score stood 41 to 1 in Charlotte is favor. February 14, Vermontville dropped in for a game. They were completely outplayed in every department of the game. Anna Horn starred, making ,14 baskets. Score: Charlotte High School, 33, Vermontville High School, 6. PAGE 70 The next game was with Eaton Rapids, here. Nothing that they could do could stop the perfect rain of baskets by Captain Horn, who dropped the ball through the net 19 times. Score: Charlotte High School, 54: Eaton Rapids High School, 2. - Thesnext game was played at East Lansing. The girls seemed lost the first half but played a more steady game the second. Ruth Horn, Wilderu and Anna Horn starred. Score: Charlotte High School, 16: East Lansing High School, 31. Two weeks later the fastest game of basket ball ever witnessed upon the home floor was viewed by a large crowd. Charlotte was determined to wipe out their defeat and the East Lansing girls were equally eager to keep their unsoiled chance for the state title. The first quarter East Lansing ran up 13 points to Charlotte 's 2. But the next quarter the girls found them- selves and all but tied the score. The second half was a iight all the way and the Charlotte girls tied the score in the last two minutes. But luck seemed against them and a second before the timekeeper's whistle blew East Lansing's star forward threw a basket. There was no other chance of evening the score and the East Lansing girls departed, confident that they possessed the state title. Score: Charlotte High School, 22, East Lansing High School, 24. March 21, they visited Olivet and defeated them in a rough game. ,March 28, the Owosso girls played here and defeated our girls in a hard fought game by a 14 to 13 score. This ended a season of intense excitement and interest. The prospects for a winning team next year are good, and knowing that the girls will fight for the honor of old Charlotte High School, we wish them good-luck. TRACK MEET The Track Meet last year was held in Hastings. The Hastings athletes Won the meet, but the Charlotte boys gave them a hard run. The points, as scored, were as follows: Hastings, 405 Charlotte, 365 Bellevue, 24, Vermont- ville, 16, Grand Ledge, 8 and Eaton Rapids, 2. Donald Murray starred as the highest all round point winner.

THE MILITARY AND PHYSICAL TRAINING CLASS -Dr. Zederbaum, Instructor A little over two years- ago, shortly after the war was declared, a state ot unrest became apparent among the. boys of the High School, a number of whom persistently called for a leader, who -would take charge of Military Training. A temporary organization consisting of some 24 boys was then effected and was known as the 'tliight Guards , which disbanded at the termination of the scholastic year. At the beginning of the fall term, the school board deemed it advisable to institute Military Training in the curriculum, allowing one period three times per week for this work. Forty' boys availed themselves of this op- portunity and received one-fourth credit each, upon completion of a satis- factory practical and theoretical examination. ' In the fall of 1918, the enrollment reached 96 boys and, .owing to the limited room in the HGym , where during the bad weather all the work had to be done, the class was divided into two companies, each. drilling twice weekly. Occasionally, when the weather permitted, both companies together were given thorough work outside for two or more hours at a stretch. Mr. Philip Grier, who after the beginning ofthe second semester returned from the S, A. T. C., was selected for First Lieutenancy and has capably filled this position throughout the term By competitive drill ten boys were selected for the positions of non-commissioned officers. 4 Close order drill was fully covered, various setting up exercises, and calisthenics on the march and at a halt were thoroughly mastered and at this writing signal work has been begun. I We need equipment-guns-is the cry-but to obtain them we have to follow the instructions from the government, certain conditions must be ful- filled. No less than 40 'uniformed boys is one of the conditions and half of the class have finallybeen uniformed. This uniform consists of an olive drab khaki cloth regulation blouse and breeches, cadet fatigue cap, regulation canvas leggins. To distinguish the Charlotte High School Cadets from other military organizations the following insignia were selected to be worn: on the cap, regulation eagle with letters HC. H. S. above, collar devices, and a PAGE 73 black arm brassarcl, with letters HC. Il. Sf' in orange, fthe High School colorsb, same to be worn on the left arm. That Military Training has finally come to stay is evident. Other citids are adopting the course, many making it a compulsory study. Most of thie -best colleges and universities have taken up military training and require at least two years as pre-requisite for graduation. A considerable amount df time will be saved to the high school graduate who has taken this Work before entering the college. The boys who took this Work a year ago and haxje entered other military organizations were immediately recognized and promot- ed. Not only is this true of the local organizations but also in the various branches of the regular U. S. service. T i . George Creel says that 'tUniversal military and physical trainingis onie safe foundation upon which the national defense of a democracy may lie rested. Before their eyes, the fathers and mothers saw their boys strengthep in mind ,and body, Watched them slough off bad habits and acquire high standards of conduct, and observed them grow into the sort of Americans with whom patriotism is more than lip service. T, Universal military and physical training for every physically fit boy df high school age will make America more American than it has been fdr generations and congress will not long refuse to incorporate military arid physical training into the law of the land. i .o.v.u I: 'n t i i i i A p i ii i i i PAGE 74 i . 1 - ' PAGE 78 HLADIES' NIGI-ITN W This tale I had from one who oft relates The gallant deeds of this most glorious realm, The I-Iigh School of Charlotte. Oft do I pause At eventide to harken to the tale dow gallant, brave Sir Joshua led his men To bloody victory on a hard-won field, While bright-eyed multitudes, about the lists, Looked on in joy to see the battle rage, It chanced betimes that in that wise debate Of learned minds that often do convene About the Senate table, Week by week. Arose a gallant 'knight and spake full fair: Most puissant Attorney-General. And gentle knights of this fair Table Round, When next we gather in this company To wage full Herce in bloody argument, The sight of this is like to prove worth While. VVe joust full better, or 'tis my belief, If ladies' eyes are witness to our deeds. Therefore I ask this boon, most gracious lord, That when shall come that day, of honors won Each knight may bring the lady of his Choice To sit above the lists and View the joust, To judge the valor of her chosen knight, Awhile the master pondered: Good sir knight, Your chivalry and faith are Worthy praise: Beauty will ever lead to braver deeds: Your boon is granted, but I trust that each Will fear too much his knightly word forsworn To fail to seek the joyous lists on time. The council ended: fared the knights betimes To sundry homes Where many manly guests Bespoke the presence of bright beauty there. So passed the week and Huttered every heart As drew the day of all days ever near. Many the trials at arms in nook obscureg While anxious-eyed the fair ones view the strife And as the day approaches hearts relent And each brave knight his lady's token Wears. At last the day: when rosy Phoebus sank to rest Upon his bed of mist, forth fared the knights, In brave attire and speedily repaired Each to the castle sheltering his fair. And now bright eyes in shining mirror peeped. Soft hands the shining tresses wrought to curls And tiny feet in jeweled slippers tripped. When Beauty takes the time, needs Gallantry must wait Swift sped the seconds on: at last came forth Each beauteous damsel clad in silken sheen: And so betimes they sought the waiting lists. Meantime the Attorney-General, proud and stern, Arrayed in state had sought the trysting place. There long he waited: but there carne no sound Of gentle voices Wafted on the breeze. The hour approached, it dawned. it slowly passed: His wrath was mighty, truly virtue wrongedg He donned his coat and plumed helmet tall, Nursing his anger like a rumbling storm. -lust past the barriers of the meeting plane He met the cavalcade in glorious show Approaching: mercy curtains his rebuke Of knightly word forsvvorn and broken oath, Honor and chivalry with evil stained. So ends the tale of knightly faith untried, VVithin the Senate lists of fair Charlotte. ' -N E. M. Cl Q m 1 x X ,IMI A 1 , V! X 7 f' X Y f X 1, H X X 'E ' TJ 1 fl? 1 T V 4 Jonas Ten Commandments. 1.

The c'ty officials are so terrilied that they have d-one nothing and are con- stantly in fear that the figure of Gloomy Glady or Shot 'em All Johnson will appear. The people are warned to keep close to their fire- sides after six bells lest disaster at the hands -of Hon. Fat and his pals befall them. l A.

Probably the most 'brilliant society event of the season took place last Friday evening when Miss V. Powell was given in marriage to Mr. E. Auxter. The house was delicately trimmed with sunflowers and cat- 'tails. At eight o'clock to the strains 'of Smiles, Miss A. Horn presiding lat the piano, the charming bride, at- tended by Miss In Allen as maid of honor, took her place under a canopv of touch-me-nots, beside the groom, iwho was attended by Capt.

We suggest the following: Rise at 8:00 a. m. ln school for classes onlyg use vacant periods for more wholesome amusements. Ride from 2:30 to 6:00, that means bolwt the last period. Attend to business affairs from 6:00 to 7:00. Go to the first movie so as to be iready to dance from 8:30 to 1:00. Then spend a glorious luour at The Little Greasy Spoon. It is not best to retire on a full stomach so a little spin through the lcountry from 2:30 to 4:00 we sug- lgest to fit one for sleep. Four hours of sleep is sufficient for any ordi- nary high school student. Too much sleep tends to make one lazy. We have only one place left to eat, but then, we are all striving to get thin, furthermore we mean to be economical.

A SAD MISFORTUNE If you had traveled hundreds of miles to be marricd to the only girl, -entered the gaily and ap- propriately decorated church as the great organ was pealing forth the music that made Loh-engrin famous, marched proudly down the aisle with the only girlu to the altar, feeling in your pocket for the ring which you found there safe, and when the minister asks for the license, dis- cover that you had forgotten to secure one, wouldn't it jostle your equanimity? That's what Phillip Grier of 'Char- lotte did when he traveled to Chicago, Illinois, to the home of his bride. But a big .touring car was secured, a trip to a little insignificant office was made, where an obliging clerk hur- riedly issued the necessary document and the party returned to the church. Twenty minutes later than the original time set the marriage was solemnized. , UORDIAL INVITATION TO ALL DIGNIFIED SENIORS. Africa, Near North Pole. April 43, 1846.
