EDITORIALS It was in the year 1620 that a brave little band of pilgrims bade- farewell to the old chapters of their lives and sought to broaden their intellects, as well as gain religious freedom, in the land of far-away America. After a very perilous voyage of many days' duration, they landed on the rugged, unsettled coast of New England. There is, at the present time, a pilgrimage similar to and yet in many respects even more important than that of the Pilgrims so many years ago. Year after year the succeeding generations pass th-e stage, made up of the earnest endeavors of High School life, and as the time approaches for them to leave their Alma Mater, it is with a feeling of sadness, as well as of pride and satisfaction, that they turn to the higher achievements to be fulfilled in their future lives. The Pilgrim life, homely as it may se.em, was inevitable. Those people were willing to leave their comfortable homes and their old friends in order to lay the foundations for the predominating faith, by which we of the present age benefit. And so are we, as we pass into the world of opportunity, willing to reach out beyond the pleasant associations formed during our High School days. However, this does not mean that we shall forget any of the friends we have made, or the good times we have had. In order that we may help to keep alive the memories of the days when our various duties brought into communication not only the members of the Class of ,21 and the Faculty, but those of the other classes as well, we have taken great pleasure in preparing this, our last work in this school, for whosoever shall glance within its pages. After seeing the quality of workmanship displayed by them on this year's annual, we are ready to recommend very highly the Stafford Engraving Company, oflndian- apolis, Ind., to the future publishers of the DELPHIAN. Not only is their work good, but the manner in which they give personal advice and assistance is of great value also. Page Six ff? ,w Il . . . . . Delpbian '21 N In !

Perhaps it was because he was the only leaven in the large lump of femininity that had chosen to elect advanced Botany. More likely it was because it seemed altogether absurd daily to burden a man with a cognomen like Dr. Olephant, Ph. D., Head of the Department of Biology at Oak Hill College. Moreove.r, Dr. Olephant was an object of romantic interest to his romance-loving class. It was rumored that, coming from an aristocratic family, he had been an oflicer of cavalry in Germany, and that some state offense' had compelled him to come to America and support himself by teaching what he had before studied as a pastime. It was also rumored that the walls of his room were covered with ugly pistols and murderous sabres, and that he could sing divinely,--all of which tended to raise him to a point high in the estimation of his Botany class. . This bright morning late in May the Man was the topic of an animated conversa- tion as the group of students left the lecture room. The unthinking professor had doomed twenty bright and active maidens to spend the whole. afternoon of this glorious day in field work, and though Dr. Olephant was in some ways very manage- able, still an afternoon of field work under him did not mean a few hours of aimless wandering and listless gathering of pre-tty flowers, already well known. Thus they chatteredz- ' Horrid thing! Just the day to spend on the river. cc And have a delicious supper under the elms! And then stroll home by the river path ! Oh, don't! Just the day all those things would be so nice. ar Why wasn't the Man endowed with a slight sense of the fitness of things? Instead of all these delightful and alluring prospects, we may look forward to spend- ing five hours in the hot sun, digging in the mud and dirt for plants with unremem- berable names, which we are supposed to have at our tongues' ends. And haven't, nor eve.r shall have. And the Man will say: 'Young ladies, constant review is the secret of acquiring thorough knowledge. It is not well to let that which is once' yours escape you.' Sh-h! I believe Janet's thinking! There. was a hush at once in the chatter, for any mental activity on the part of Janet usually boded ill for the peace of Oak Hill College authorities, but promised endless diversions for her friends. Just now she was gazing over the heads of her companions toward the distant hills, her lips pursed up in a noiseless whistle. At the sudden silence, she turned, and said seriously, Let's lose him. A look of incomprehension was her answer, and then, Who ? Lose l1i1n ! What do you mean ? I think 'lose him' is simple English enough for youreimmature- intellects to grasp, and 'who P' why, perhaps I'm wrong in thinking that you were talking about the Man. Page Forty-Two .....D2IpbiHtI '21 The girls met the rebuke in silence, till finally Agnes asked meekly, Would you mind telling us how?', Janet laughed gaily. Now, listen, good children. You want a long happy holiday, you want a lunch under the elms, and a quiet stroll by the river. Well, why not? All that is in the way is a man, a mere man, who can very easily be lost for threeor four hours, and then found and brought home again, if he doesn't find the way alone. But how, my dear child? We can't just take him out and say, 'Be lost.' It will take all your clevernessf' Janet answered firmly, Trust me for that. Manage to secrete necessary eatables among your scientific implements, and leave the rest to me. And because they had faith in her, they obeyed and waited. J anetis opportunity came early the next afternoon. The class, with their specimen jars, which the unsuspecting Man had every reason to think empty, had come. blithely down the long sunny road, had climbed a straggling fence, and found themselves on a pleasant wooded hillside, sloping down to a brook that tumbled into the river way beyond. Across the brook the wood divided and closed again, shutting in a triangle of pasture whe-re horses were biting short, tender grass. In this pasture and in this wood were wild Howers in plenty, and of every variety, and the girls scattered at once. in search of specimens-trying in vain to elude the watchful eye of the man in the height of his glory, who, now here, now there, kept them at work. Still it was twenty against one-, and at length, as Janet and Agnes were arguing with Dr. Ole.phant as to the nature of a newly found specimen, a cry from the pasture of, Why, here's Firefly I brought a bevy of girls flying down the hill. There in the farther corner of the pasture was Firefly, a college character. He was old and showed his age. in jagged bones and rusty coat. Every morning now he was hitched to a rattling cart and compelled to draw fresh vegetables to the colle-ge community, but his age was honored, for he was a veteran of the war, and the.re was still in his eye- something of the light with which they had once looked fearlessly upon death, and at the sound of martial music he would arch his neck proudly, and his nostrils would quiver as if again the smell of powder were in the air. He had a friend in every student, and now the girls gathered about him, patting his rough neck and pulling handsful of grass for him. Janet observed this, and saw her opportunity. Slipping back from Agnes and the Man, she hastily drew something from her specimen jar, stooped a minute, and then called excitedly, Oh, Dr. Olephant, come here quick! Here is the funniest plant I ever saw.', In a minute the Man and Agnes were bending over her shoulder, examining the strange specimen. After one look,'Agnes gasped, opened her mouth, shut it, and looked at Janet: but the nearsighted professor gazed at it in perplexity, diligently searching his pockets the while. Strange-ve.-ry strange. It is evidently a variety of moss, but such as I never saw in this locality. I wonder where I could have put my pocket-microscope-Miss Thorsten, did I not lend it to you a mome-nt ago P Janet was all eager attention, Why, so you did, but Miss Mayville was working with me, and I believe she has it. Just a minute and I'll get it for you, and nodding to Agnes to follow, she slipped away behind the trees. Soon they were running with utmost speed toward the other girls, Agnes gasping breathlesslyf ' Page Forty-Three Delpbian '21 . . . . . VVhy, Janet Thorsten! That was only one of the tassels off the old curtain in the dorm. parlor !-How did you dare! What will he say-when he Ends out! But consequences never troubled Janet, and she only hurried Agnes on the faster. Great was the laughter among the class, as, safe at last from detection, they heard J anet's ruse. They, too, thought little of the results of their frolic, and enjoyed the long afternoon to the utmost. They scattered, sauntering down the shadowed alleys, lounging under the elms, or sailing leafy boats on the river, laughing like children at each shipwreck. Then a lunch was spread on the soft moss, and they lingered long after the last morsel had disappeared, singing and talking until the lengthening shadows warned them that the sun was near its setting. Reluctantly they gathered up their scattered cans and started for home. VVhen they arrived near the pasture, Agnes was saying, I wonder how long the Man stayed before he discovered that he was deserted and went home P Then she stopped abruptly, Why, what's this P For there on the ground lay the professor's soft hat, his coat and his specimen jar overflowing with specimens. The girls gathered round, half curious, half frightened, looking from one to the other for an explanation. VVhy, what do you think has happened ? Do you think he. has gone home and left them? You don't suppose that he has drowned himself P But just then the sound of hoofs aroused them, and, looking up, they were con- fronted by a sight that made them drop hastily down b-ehind the underbrush, and after the Hrst silence of bewilderment, shaking and sobbing with laughter, they cautiously raised their heads for another glimpse, only to fall back in paroxysms of laughter. For there in the pasture was old Firefly, galloping as for dear life, round and round the. triangle, and on his bare back was Dr. Olephant, Ph. D., Head of Biology at Oak Hill College. All good things must end and so it was for Dr. Olephant, for he drove Firefly toward the brook, dismounted, picked up his coat, his hat, his specimen can and started off for tl1e college. When he had disappeared, Janet spoke up firmly- I f any one of you dares to tell a soul at college what you've seen here, you need never again count on me to make up your excuses for your church cuts, think up new id-cas for your midnight spreads, or make you any more sea foam,-ever. Then slowly they began climbing the hill toward the college, stopping now and then for a fresh burst of merriment. There. was some apprehension visible on the faces of the Botany class as they awaited the coming of their instructor the next morning. It was with a sigh of relief, the-refore, that they saw him enter the room, and seat himself painfully at his desk. Oh, for our great horse.man! thought the girls. He opened his note-book for the daily review as if nothing had happened to break the monotony of their work. But it was with somewhat different emotion that they heard him say in mild reproof a little later :- You young ladies must keep in mind that review is tl1-e secret of acquiring thor- ough knowledge. It is not well to let that which is yours escape you. THE END. Page Forty-Four o o o o '21 HUMILIATION OF THE SOPHOMORES DRAMATIS PERSONJE LARCUS ..... ............................

RECEPTION FOR STUDENTS At the beginning of the school year, the teachers of the Charlotte High gave a reception in the gymnasium for the student body. A very pleasant evening was enjoyed, for everyone met the new teachers and students, making a good send-off for the- coming year. Various games were in- dulged in by the several class members and punch and wafers were served during the evening. Page Forfy-Eiglzt . . . . . Dtlpbidtt '21 SENIOR CARNIVAL - As almeans of raising money to help defray the expenses of the- Delphian, the Senior Class of '21 put on a three-night carnival in the High School gymnasium. With the co-operation of every member of the class, the event was a success in every way. The nights chosen were December 8, 9, 10. The first night the gymnasium was lined with booths, namely, candy, Japanese, Hsh ponds, and side shows. The mate- rial furnished for the booths came from the Seniors and much appreciated donations from the merchants. Confetti was showered throughout the place, while horns and rackets of similar nature were ever present, making everything very realistic. During the evening a short program was given, consisting of music from the orchestra, High School Girls' Quartet and solos. I On the second night a chicken-pie supper was served at six o'clock. Although the tables were laid for 250, it was necessary that they be relaid a second time. Different members of the Senior Class served under the supervision of Miss Cook, the Domestic Science Instructor. The third night was given over entirely to dancing, music being furnished by a special orchestra. It is needless to say that all enjoyed themselves. Lemonade and wafers were sold throughout the evening. About three hundred dollars was realized by the Seniors. JUNIOR PLAY Miss Bob White, a very pleasing production, was chosen by the Junior Class of 1920 for their annual play. The play was presented on March 25 and 26 under the direction of Miss Mildred Rieger, of the John Rogers' Producing Company. Ruby Andrews, playing the role of Miss Bob White, was particularly good. Edward Hoedemaker and Homer Knight as Antre Tre-Billion and Billy Van Million, brought forth from the audience roars of laughter and hearty applause. Dorothy Redick, as Golden Rod and Clyde Kitto as Jack deserve special mention for the way in which they played their parts. Nora Smith as Maggie was a charming Irish lass. Robert Hancock as Lord Bashful and Wallace Ross as Duke of High Titles were real imported dudes, don't you know. Q There were a number of choruses whose varied costumes brought light and merriment into the play. Music was furnished by the High School Orchestra, under the. direction of Miss Rieger, with Miss Leora Horn, a member of the Junior Class, at the piano. The Junior Class as a whole is to be complimented upon their fine work and the class spirit shown in this production.

CHORUS CONCERT On April fifteenth the High School Chorus, composed of one hundred and twenty members, with the Glee Club and Quartets under the direction of Miss Pettit, and assisted by the orchestra under the direction of Miss Babcock, presented a very pleasing program. The program was divided into two parts, the first consisting of numbers by the chorus, the girls' quartet, and mixed quartet. The second part was given entirely by the Glee Club, the number being a Cantata called The Guest, by Ethebert Nevin. Mr. Carrick and Mr. Fulton rendered solo parts and deserve much credit. In- ap- preciation of their work, they were presented with Masonic cuff links, by Merle Davis, the President of the Glee Clubf The concert was a success and received much favorable comment from the public for the work done by the students under Miss Pettit's leadership, also Miss Olive Boyer's accompanying. '4 FOLLY DAY On Wednesday, April 27th, the students of Charlotte High witnessed a scene which brought forth laughter and much merriment when at noon of that day one by one, or in groups, in walked the various members of the Senior Class of '21 in togs brought forth from where? It is hardly possible to say, for there were all descrip- tions of attire, from Renold Beals With his suitcase and straw hat, and Luella Sodt and Margaret Hutchins, of the Hopkins family, to the little girls with their dolls and teddy bears, and some of the boys in full dress suits wl1icl1 were worn with such expressive pomp. Alton Snow was there with his harem hem gown and hair waved beautifully. As a whole the initial Folly Day was a success, besides being a source of amusement. ATHLETIC BANQUET The Athletic Banquet, given by the Senior girls in honor of the basketball, foot- ball, tennis, and baseball teams, was held in the Congregational church parlors May 28, 1920. A fine three-course dinner was served and a very enjoyable evening was spent by everyone. ' Mr. Luse made an excellent toastmaster, while interesting toasts were given by Miss Densmore, Mr. Savage, Mr. Carrick, and the captains of the various teams. The girls' basketball letters were presented by their coach, ltfiss Densmoreg the football, basketball, and baseball letters, by Mr. Luse, and the tennis letters, by Mr. Savage.

The members this year have decided to will the oflices to the Junior Class, or the Senior Class-to-be., and let these two ofiicers choose for themselves the other six membe.rs. The two officers are the First and the Second Rover. The obj ect of the organization is to help make a success of every department of High School activities, and it is hoped that by annually willing these two ofiices, the organization will become a permanent and very beneficial one. ' There are restrictions to the membership placed by the Faculty and they come under the same requirements of any other High School activities. The members of the organization of the Class of '21 are :- 1st Rover, ......... E ............. H 'erbert Cole 2d Rover, ...... Verne Johnson 3d Rover, .... VVallace. Gibbons 41th Rove.r, ..........

THE HI-Y The Hi-Y, one of the foremost 'organizations in High School at present, became associated with the Affiliated Hi-Y last year by accepting the standards of that organization, and this year has been a very successful on-er in its history. The ofiicers have been: James Mahan, President, Wallace Gibbons, Secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Kuhn, Leader. The time which has usually been devoted to recreation has been given over to study under the direction of Mr. Reid. Athletics also have had their part in this organization, and their prowess in this respect was demonstrated by their defeating the city Y. M. C. A. in two basketball games. In January this organization entertained the business men of the town to show appreciation for their interest in the Hi-Y: The principal address was given by Doctor King, from Olivet College, while Mr. Reid acted as toastmaster and VVallace Gibbons gave a toast for the boys. The climax to the year came in the form of a picnic at Pine Lake. DEBATE This year a great number of enthusiastic volunteers entered the Held of de- bate. Out of the number Myrl Newark, Herbert Cole, Keitha Davis, Ion C. Mc- Laughlin, Edward Hoedemaker, and Don Redick were chosen for the two debating teams. This field makes up another form of High School activity, which promises to be very instructive, as well as interesting. Page Fifty-One Delpbian '21 Page Fifty-Two GLEE CLUB . . . . .

There were- over two hundred students enrolled, a large and a small chorus being organized, and meeting twice a week. They completed the year's work with a con- cert, given April 15th, in the High School Auditorium. Miss Olive Boyer deserves much credit as a very able accompanist for the chorus throughout the year.

Judging from the remarks passed at various times by Mr. Savage, the word R-O-W has a different pronunciation, but it is derogatory even to think that this honorable institution is ever guilty of such childish things as rows. Upon unprejudiced investigations it has been found that most disturbances in this vicinity are caused by insinuations and remarks by the. members of the fairer sex in the next row. B The Manly Row is especially strong this year, as its members are in many of the strongest organizations of the High School, such as the football, basketball, baseball, and debating teams, as well as the Senate, Hi-Y, Agricultural Club, Athletic Associa- tion Board, and Holy Rovers. This year there are ten members, with Carl Schrotl1'as President, and their names in the order in which they sit in this row are: Carl Schroth, Myrl Newark, Rus- sell Gault, Donald Shepard, James Mahan, Sidney Phillips, Walter Ball, Verne Johnson, Gerald Bradley, and Stanley Tanner.

However, Etta Goff soon proved to be a good successor to Olga Zederbaum, Leah Sassaman nearly made up for loss of Gertrude Cole, and Grace Kunkle made a record for basket throw- ing in Agnes Youngs's place. A strong team was finally worked up with the help of Miss Densmore, our faithful coach, and after winning the Eaton County Champion- ship, our hopes for the Bi-County title for another year were high. But the day we played Hastings proved to be our Jonah day, and we had to hand the cup over to them. With the loss of Audrey, Etta, and Merle, the prospects for next fall are not very bright. Captain Audrey Wildern is one of the fastest running centers in the State, and called forth the admiration of the coaches of such teams as Battle Creek and East Lansing. Me.rle Davis won more than one game by her famous dribble. In the Olivet game she scored a basket a minute in one of the fastest quarters played this season. Etta Goff, as jumping center, played a good, consistent game all season. Grace Kunkle and Grace Pratt are both strong forwards, and while Grace Kunkle is a little more spectacular in her basket making, Grace Pratt is steady and reliable. The Sassaman girls, Leah and Verna, as guards, played a brilliant game all season, and it takes a pretty good forward to get past them. The subs, Marjorie Rulison, Winifred Kitto, and Winifred Davis, deserve credit for the way in which they backed up the team.

They have responded enthusiastically during the workouts. Up to the time that the DELPHIAN goes to press their average has been reported high. Archie Carrigan makes a swift pitcher, while his receiver, Rusty Gault, is not at all bashful about hanging on. Page Sixty-One I Delpbian '21 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Shortly after school began in the fall, the Athletic Association was organized. Nearly three hundred students were enrolled. The officers elected were as follows :- President ....................... .............. C arl Schroth Vfice-Presvldenit .... ........ M erle Davis Secretary ....... .... A udrey Wildern Treasurer . ..... Mr. Thayer Yellmaster .. ..... Herbert Cole AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION At the be.ginning of the year the Association started again under Mr. Harold F. Thayer, the instructor of agriculture. The officers for the year were elected at the Hrst meeting, which resulted as follows: President, Donald Shepardg Vice-President, Agnes Martin, Secretary, Dorothy De-ang Treasurer, Ralph Johnson. Social meetings were held each month throughout the school year, At the.se meetings students were enabled to become better acquainted and to enjoy a socially good time. In August, before school began, a picnic was held at Bennett Park for all rural students. The meeting was largely attended and will likely become an annual event. Besides the social side, tl1e intellectual side is not forgotten. Among the speakers wl1o addressed the Association on Agriculture topics were: Howard Rather, of M. A. C., Farm Crops Departmentg Professor French and Professor Grover, also of M. A. C., Albert Towe, Ralph W. Tenny, Roy E. Decker, and others. An exhibit was on display at the Eaton County Fair which attracted a great deal of attention and comment, not only for the Association, but for the High School as well. It is to be hoped that this phase of the work will be carried out each year at Fair time. Q TRACK As the DELPHIVAN goes to press before the final testing out of the contestants for track, it is impossible to say anything definite about it other than the fact that there is a very promising bunch out, and that if hard work and grit will get anyone any- where, these boys are going to carry away more than one honor for the Charlotte High School. Last year we did not pull off so many points, but we hope to make up for that this year. Page Sixty-Two Z o o o Q o '21 MEET OUR IYMXNLY ROW - X E ' sk A ' Wh A , 7s k f' -2-il-rf 5 V V W 42 -E13 .

Outside a heavy fog had settled. It appeared as if the fog lay heaviest near the courthouse because ice Howers were printed on the windows, strange ice flowers, here where Justice was administered. Inside, in the courtroom, it was also foggy, but here- the fog consisted of smoke mixed with the im- pure breath of the jurors. The jurors were not all sitting at attention. That fellow on the extreme left had fallen asleep 3 at any rate his hands hung loosely downward. The scratching of a pen was distinctly heard, the Keeper of Records was busy. The judge alone seemed the most wide awake. His large spectacles were drawn almost to the tip of his nose, perspiration covered his wrinkled forehead, his clear brown eyes were. fixed toward the door at the farther end of the room, and as the guard entered, the judge inquired :- VVho is out there ? , A girl, answered the guard. Allow her to enter. Evidently the girl heard this order. She came forward promptly and stopped only when she had reach-ed the judge's desk. Then she looked sadly at the floor. It appeared as if a sunbeam had entered with her and had multiplied a thousandfold. The girl wore a shawl of many colors. It was drawn far over her head, almost covering the- coal black eyes and entirely cove.ring the thick black hair underneath. What brings you here, my child, the- judge inquired, not harshly, yet strictly. My troubles are great, yes, very great. Her voice was soft and especially clear in this heavy air. A large portrait of the old monarch and another of the Bishop frowned from behind the judge's seat. She gazed at the pictures which perhaps prompted her to tell of that great, great trouble. But the papers! She must open her tightly fitting overwaist and get them. They tell the story. Nervously, she opened the topmost hook and drew out a neatly folded paper tied up in a black bordered handkerchief. These papers were a summons to begin a term of sentence, that beginning this day, Anna Bede must serve a term of one hundred and eighty days. If We received these papers a week ago. Don't you remember you brought them yourself and told us their meaning, and my poor mother then said, 'Go, my child, go. Law is law, we must not trifle with it.' So, you see, I came to carry out the sentence in prison. Page Seventy-Eight o Q o 4 Q '21 The. judge drew his handkerchief to wipe his spectacles, then stared coldly toward the dirty windows, the ceiling, the Hoor and silently heard again, Law is law. He read the papers again and it was plainly stated there that Anna Bede was guilty and sentenced to one hundred and eighty days in the county prison. It was said she had found stolen jewelry and sold it again. At the trial her silence seemed to go against her. At any rate the jury decided that she was guilty because she could not afford a lawyer and said absolutely nothing when questioned. The fog turned into rain, not heavy rain, just enough to make the weather gloomy and uncomfortable. The ice. flowers vanished. Through the cracks one seemed to hear the wind say, Law is law. The judge- motioned to the guard who came forward. Conduct Anna Bede to the Keeper of the Prison ! The guard reached for the papers and began to go away, but the girl stood still before the judge as if searching for words to say something more. Perhaps you have something more to say? asked the judge quietly. Nothing-nothing-only-only that I-I am Elizabeth Bede, because you know my sister. She was Anna. Poor girl, we- buried her- yesterday. Then you are not the guilty one?,' Mercy no! Why should I be guilty? I wouldn't even harm a Hy. Then why did you come here today P Because-becausef, tears choked her, as she lay quietly and peacefully, mother and I agreed that I should be here, though we were both innocent, when the time comes, so that poor Anna may Rest in Peace and that nobody should say she was in- debted. . Q The jury awoke. The judge looked around again. He. dared not look at the girl, but finally, after much thought, said: There is considerable error in this matter. Go home, my child. The large black eyes gazed at the judge. See, see, we- thought so. It was not spoken in a reproachful manner, but kindly and softly, and the judge, coming from the chair, whispered, Up above the truth is known. Go home, my child, and tell your mother that your sister Anna was indeed innocent. ' We thought so, we thought so, and slowly with her hands crossed and pressed to her heart she passed from the Court of Justice.

For a school of this size, one of the most important factors to be considered is the cost. This year, as before, that factor loomed up as a great barrier, and, in fact, the. remark was made that tl1e DELPIJIAN would have to discontinue if the cost were not reduced, because of the great amount of outside work placed upon the Senior Class in raising it. But we did not wish to lower the quality of this year's book, so we then lowered the cost by eliminating the space occupied by the matter not pertaining to our High School. However, although this book may appear to be somewhat smaller than the preceding ones, it must be taken into consideration that it does not contain the great amount of advertisements that have always been published before, and, while these add materially to the value of the book by indicating the backing given it by level- headed merchants, yet they do increase very materially its cost,-a cost that cannot be covered by the tax. For that reason, and that alone, we are omitting the advertis- ing this year. H Paye Eighty , 2
