NEWS EVENTS OF THE CLASS OF ’33 It was in 1929 that this year's grad- uating class first began participating in the activities of Charlotte high school. For this first year they were led by: Almon Murray, president; Donald Sparks, vice president; Mar- guerite McGrath, secretary; and Billy Day. treasurer. Athalia Waddell and Almon Murray were elected as the representatives to the council for this first year in high school. The second lap of the four years’ Journey was begun after a short vaca- tion and as most of the greenness had been worn ofT by the rather severe experiences of their freshman year, the class began to enjoy more and more the good times in old C. H. S. This year Charles Garvey was chief executive, assisted by Marguerite Chevalier; Beryl Bryan wielded the pencil, and Martha Ransom held the purse. The aldermen were William Cox and Marguerite Williams. Knowing that their junior year was to be even more exacting then either of the previous years the class of '33 returned prepared for a real battle. The junior class officers were: Presi- dent. Dorothy Smith; vice president. Ruth Stringham; secretary. Donald Collins: and treasurer. Clifton Kelley. The class was represented in the student council by Hubert Stevens and lal Keefer. This third year proved to be very strenuous and full of activity. The first event of note was the Junior play, Oh! Kay! The class was called upon by tra- dition to put on a banquet in honor of the graduating seniors. Then later they had to decorate for both bacca- laureate and class night. However, as this was the last token of esteem which could be paid the class of '33. It was not regretted. This last year in school has proven to be one of work and pleasure and triumph. The leaders are Roger Wil- cox. president: Marguerite Chevalier, vice president; Esther Jacobs, secre- tary; and Clifton Kelley, treasurer. Aldermen are Duane Tuckey and Myrtle Day. Commencement marks the end of a bng and never to In forgotten Jour- ney but it is hoped that it will prove hut the beginning of a more eventful career for all.

President’s Message For a moment, the class of 1933 pauses to review the past four years of work. fun. and friendships, regret- fully realizing that they are about to close. We have completed our high school course always trying to do our best. May our life’s work be faced with the same high purpose: as we have enjoyed school, so may we enjoy life. Many friendships have been formed which have been a constant source of inspiration. After graduation, may those friendships continue with re- newed influence. On behalf of the class of '33. I wish to thank each member of the faculty who has hail a part in guiding and bringing to a successful close the activities of this class. Only the ! future can prove the worth of their atience and helpfulness. The whole class joins in wishing , those who follow, a record of abund- ant achievement. Roger Wilcox.

Betty King Shlek Vamp President s Message The time is rapidly drawing neai when we must step out into the va- cancy left by the seniors. It is with deep regret thut we part from our friends. The graduates of 1933 who now have completed their work are ready to start their Journey out in real life. We hope that our friendship will not end. but thut our relation will be even greater than before. For those who follow us we wish them the same privileges that we have enjoyed. With the capable group of teachers to guide them on. their fu- ture is sure to be promising. The friendliness ami co-operation in every undertaking has been our medium of success for the year. We feel that we can never repay our faculty advisor, Mrs. Mitchell, for her many helpful suggestions in all our activities and for the sympathetic at- titude she has shown throughout the year. All the pleasant memories through- out the year have been entered into the Charhian. We extend our best wishes to the creators and to the class of 1933. Ha HOLD Fisiikr. sMfresi( nt of Class of ‘34. J — Page Ki Class Officers President..........Harold Fisher Vice President.......Betty King Treasurer..........Elaine I each iteeretary.........Duane Burton NEWS EVENTS OF THE CLASS OF ’34 In 1931 the junior class started their journey through high school. As freshmen they were under the faculty leadership of Miss Hicks and Miss Garland. Jean Hammond was eiec'ed as president of the class; Josephine Ramsey, vice president; Beatrice Dar- by. secretary; and Evelyn Stick roc, treasurer. The class was not long in getting acquainted with high school life and in October they held their first party, under the supervivan of Mr. Dykhouse. in the school gym- nasium. After their first party the class entered more and more into vari- ous activities and later in the winter they held a sleigh riding frolic and in January they entered into their first active participation in student mixers at which time they sponsored that dance and program. When the class of 34 entered into their sophomore year they were lead by Ellis Lovell as president; Maxine Cooper, vice president; Jerine Brad- ley. secretary; and Remona Swan, treasurer. The faculty advisors of the class were: Mrs. Combs and Mr. An- derson. The annual class picnic was held at Pine Lake. Olivet. This year has been by far the most important one because of all that has been accomplished. They selected Harold Fisher as president: Betty King, vice president: Elaine Leach, treasurer; and Duane Burton, secre- tary. Mrs. Mitchell has acted as counselor and advisor for the class. The first important task that con- fronted the Junior class was the pro- duction of the traditional junior play. “Laugh Clown. a rolicking comedy, was chosen as the play which they would put on. The play was directed by Mrs. Mitchell and Mr. McCall. The production was a huge success due to the efforts of the cast, committees, and directors. The proceeds of the play were used to fete the departing seniors in the annual junior-senior prom which was just held. The Juniors will also decorate and assist in the commencement, class night, and Imccalaureate. Members of the Junior clj. s have been very actively engaged in varsity and interclass sports. This yeor the junior basketball team won the inter- class championship. Several members of the class have participated ia and won letters in varsity sports. They are: Carl Youngs. Harold Sloan. Jack Forell. Robert Thompson. Vance Bak- er. Harold Fisher. Bud Nickerson. I eater Pugh. Donald Hale. Ralph Overmver. and Donald Welsh.

Esther President’s Message We. the class of ’3. � . must bid fare- well to our sophomore year, now feel- ing capable of taking up the duties that befall the Juniors As we step into their shoes, we shall endeavor to be worthy of the heritage of sincerity and loyalty which they have be- queathed to us. Climb Tho the Rocks Be Rugged, our class motto, has proved very help- ful to us during the past year. With it in mind, we have endeavored to make the most of everything that we have attempted. The council and upper classmen have given us sound advice and the benefits of their experiences, and to them we are grateful. I’nder the leadership of our willing and capable advisor. Miss Carland our social events and all business en- terprises have been successful and her help is appreciated by every mem- ber of the class. To the present freshmen who will take our places next year, we hope their sophomore year will be as profit- able and pleasant as ours. Lives of great men all remind us. We can make our lives sublime. And. departing leave behind us. Footprints on the sands of time.” Virkxk Elliot, President of Class of ‘35. Class Officers President................Vlrene Elliot Vice President....Edward Cheney Secretary..................Neva Lamie Treasurer......Helen Shepherd In September of 1931 when the class of 35 began Its career It was no | ordinary green freshman class. No. not by a long way. The class was un- der the leadership of Margaret Smith, president; Dougins Cameron, vice president; Kathryn Stringham. sec- retary. and Virginia Raidle. treasurer, all city freshmen who hud attended their eighth grade In the high school and were well acquainted with the ins and outs of the building. Miss Carland acted as the advisor In their lirst year and under her di- rection they enjoyed several parties which included a Christmas party and a spring picnic before school let out. They were represented in the student council by Virginia Raidle and Wen- dell Moore. Edward Cheney gave tho class the distinction of having a two letter man In their grade by earning both a football and a track letter. This year the honors of president were given to Vlrene Elliot; vice pres- ident. Edward Cheney; secretary, Neva Lamie; and treasurer. Helen Shepherd, while Douglas Cameron and Max Gee were elected as sophomore aldermen. Miss Carland aguin di- rected the activities of the class which included a Hallowe'en party, the dec- orating of the gymnasium for one Mixer and a Anal party at the end of the year at a lake. The Halloween party was a gala affair for the sopho- mores with almost a perfect attend- ance. The gymnasium was decorated and lighted attractively through the efforts of a committee. Refreshments were served after which dancing was enjoyed by many to the music of a piano. During the last two years the class of 1935 has contributed geuerously | of athietical talent having some two dozen players on track, football, bas- ket. or Imsehall teams. The sopho- mores won their share of points in Interclass basketball. Indoor baseball and in track and gave promise of athletic ability by the time of their graduation. Charles Fielder, William Nickerson. Douglas Cameron. Edward Cheney. Wendell Moore and l-tw- rence Kane all won letters in various sport events during the last year. Wendell acted as basketball manager last winter and won a manager's letter. Page H — --- T H E C H A R H I A N FRESHMEN CLASS ROLL Bracy, Holland Braden. Frank Briggs, Milton Bumford.

We feel that we have co-operated with our fellow students, friends, and teachers in successfully working for higher things in life. We realize that without the help of our worthy advisor. Miss Stewart, our class would not be able to have car- ried on its work so well. We have chosen as our motto. A winner never quits and a quitter never wins.” and with this in view, we hope at the end of our senior year to be as large and splendid as the one now leaving. We congratulate the seniors on their j new year book, the “Charhian , and hope they will be as successful in after life as they have been in high school: “Greatly begin, if thou has time Rut for a line, be that Sublime not failure. IiOW aim is crime. I8ABEI.I. KEIJ.Y. President of Class of '36. Class Officers President..............Isabelle Kelley Vice President....Margaret Cox Secreturi .....Irma Hammond Treaxurer................Robert Kilian w%v. - The freshman class has been led through the year under the guiding hand of Miss Dorothy Stewart as faculty j dvlsor. The class started its venture into the unknown by electing a very competent staff of class officers. Isabelle Kelley was chosen to fill the president's chair. She has acted in th!s capacity most efficiently for the welfare of her fellow members. For the president's right hand helper. Mar- garet Cox was chosen as vice presi- dent. while Irma Hammond has been the official recorder of all their busi- ness affair.- and Robert Kilian was elected guardian of the sacred treas- ury. This completes the cast of executives. The freshman class has done its share in school sports having several budding athletes who have been high lights in all the games, and have stood shoulder to shoulder with varsity seniors. One of the highest stars is Donald Smith, who has been high point man. making a total of eighty- nine points from all the four branches of athletics: football, basketball, base- ball, and track. In football he held the prominent position of quarterback and he was the only one who partici- pated in all the basketball games. He also was “Johnny on the spot in all the baseball games, while on track field be held his own in the pole-vault- ing contests and demonstrated marked ability in the two hundred twenty yard relay races. Harlo Dewey, according to Coach Kenneth Barnhill, is also a rising star on the varsity horizon. He has earned three letters while Smith is a four letter man. Dewey took part in but three basketball games, but according to reports, he was one of the best players on the Charlotte team. There are several others that deserve hon- orable mention for their loyalty and devotion to our school sports. They are: Richard Schroeder for basket- ball: Lee Barnhill who has always been out there” in baseball; and Howard Thomas who earned a letter in football. The membership of the freshman class Is one hundred forty-six which is a rather unusually large class. The freshmen have experienced the passing through of that stage in every student's life which is more or less green . Now they expect to pass on to higher things next year and show the same spirit of willingness as they have this year. Kelley. Margaret Kelley. Isabelle Kelly. Richard Kilian, Robert Leece.

Rlue and Gold, and always act in a manner to exemplify the qualities for which these colors stand in the thoughts of everyone. How familiar are the expressions Rlue as the sky, True Rlue.” and • The Rlue bird.” typifying perfection, honor, uprightness of character, and happiness—qualities that should te sought first in the carrying out of our aims and purposes. Gold Is know’n all over the world as a measure of value because of its beauty and purity. May It not stand for clean thought and action expressed in service?

President Vice President President Vice Pres dent M. BIGOS H. DEWEY R. TAYLOR P. BARNHART President’s Message As we come to the end of our first year in high school I think we realize what four more will mean. We know that we have been pretty green and we shall never forget our first week when it seemed as though we never reached the same room twice in the same way. We are all over our fright now. and we are sure that next year we will not be fresh”, though our title will suggest It. I do not know that our teachers have particularly enjoyed us as we number about fifty, and I suppose that our English is not always correct or our sums right. Rut 1 honestly think we have tried, at least until the warm spring days came along bringing the birds with them. We chose for our class motto “Be not simply good but good for some- thing and we hope that four years from now we will have proved ourselves good for something. Bob Taylor.

Pa ye 10 -- THE C H A R H I A N - ATHLETICS Review of 1932 Football Season Straight, staunch and strong were the hoy of the Orange and Black foot- ball squad for ’32. always fighting, al- ways thinking of the team for its betterment — never for their own glory. As a ship takes the first voyage on the ocean. It has to contend with all weather—storms and calms, whirl- winds and lyphoones—so did Char- lotte's eleven, as they encountered Sprlngport. the opener of the schedule, which ended w'lth a hump on the keel for only a six-point loss. It all hap- pened In the closing three minutes of the third lap, when the opposing squad advanced the ball to the three- yard line, where they luunched a heavy charge of brawn and muscle and gained the edge. Win in Second tonne Nearly thirty-five men spent the entire week building and shaping u new keel, which proved well worth the time, for in the struggle with the waves of Mason high Charlotte came out victorious. Cochrune took the wheel, and with the remaining deck hands he handed the visitors a 12-0 defeat. Next Grand I .edge. Hastings and Hast Lansing downed the mast of the Qrunge and Black. Time was short for the remodeling, but. under the excellent su|� ervlsion of Coach Kenneth Barnhill the boys were back on their pins ready for the encounter with Howell. The bit of reorganizing done for this contest, built the high school skiff into a much speedier craft of youthful humans, Kel.ey anti Forell commanded the power of the engines, while Youngs. Sparks, and Smith took the controls, yielding a 14-0 victory for Charlotte. I.oso to Ancient Rivals The day arrived for the annual bat- tle with the Maroon and drey from the Island City. A cold damp snow- filled the air. and the field was some- what soggy, as the Charlotte proteges warmed up before the two thousand and some odd spectators. The Jib sail of the Orange and Bluck cutter was broken away as Gtllett dropped a well-placed field goal from the ten yard line over the bar for three points. In the second period Frazier ran wide his own right end. gaining two yards, which meant the goal; Page tallied the point through the line. During the last twenty-four minutes Gillett scored seven points, and Frazier eleven. Although the local lads were severely drubbed, they displayed a re- markably clean game, and an inex- haustible hope of winning. And so ended the fall schedule, and the much battered cutter has been stored away until the call is sounded in the fall of 1933. Team Kiwi'� Captain As has been the custom for the past some years, after the close of the season, a vote was taken to see whom should get the honor of the captain’s award, and Clifton Kelley was chosen by a large majority. This ha- been the first season for Kenneth Barnhill to direct the high school athletics. Although the foot- ball season was not so successful the fine spirit that prevailed throughout the year promises to he a big ad- vantage to next year’s team. HALL OF FAME This column is devoted to the ath- letes of C. H. S. who. during their high school career, have won honors in sports. Donald Collins, a senior this year, is the only student in high school at present to have won three letters in each football and basketball. Start- ing in '30 as a sophomore Don” has played varsity football and basket- ball for three years. Melvin Sundeen. also a senior, was given a guard position on the second team of the Little Seven conference. Sundeen is the first basketball play- er to win this honor for quite a num- ber of years. He also saw service for three years on the basketball team. Clifton Kelley, two-year football man. was elected captain of the team of ’33 and was given honorable men- tion on the Little Seven conference team. Melvin Redick. Clyde Schlmmel. and Francis Bust were others of the '32 team to receive honorable mention on the Little Seven conference eleven. Huh” Stevens and Don’’ Smith were members of the basketball team to receive honorable mention. Stev- ens was also elected captain of this year’s basketball team. Smith, a freshman, playing his first year on the varsity, was high point man for the season as well as a four letter man. Honorable Mention Lester Stevens for winning two let- ters in football. Billy Day for winning two letters- in foot hull, track and basketball. (JeorRe Allen for winning track and basketball letters.

INTERCLASS SPORTS The juniors sprang a surprise this year and copped the interclass basket- wall championship after it had been monopolized for many years by tho seniors. The members of the team were: Ralph Overmyer, Bob Thomp- son. Wilbur Fast. Winston Lake, oruce Stehbins. Merle Parker, and Donald Hale. In the boxing and wrestling tourna- ment the freshmen and sophomores tied for the high honors with 34 points. This is the first year Char- lotte has had these sports. At present the freshmen are lending in the soft ball league and unless a surprise is sprung will win the cham- pionship. In the all school track meet held this year the seniors smothered their opponents and won the title. BASKETBALL TEAM IN SEASON REVIEW With the closing of the football sea- son the basketball pursuit planes were brought out. and the first week be- fore Thanksgiving was spent in tight- ening the struts and cleaning the en- gines for the coming season. Many new pilots appeared on the floor the first night, eagerly waiting their Instructions. Those of the let- ter men returning from previous sea- sons were: Clifton Kelley. Merle Haines. Carl Youngs, and Billy Day. Win Opening Game At last they were off to fight in the opening game with Sprlngport, the boys were warming up the machines, and the cheer leaders encouraging In hoarse voices. The ball went up and they were away in the air for an evening's bat- tle. Although the locals soared high above their opponents, the visitors showed many fine points in the art of shooting baskets. The whistle blew and the game was over, netting a vic- tory of a high majority to Charlotte. Two «lays later the schedule called for a Journey to the Fast Lansing floor where the two small squadrons were to encounter the opposing two of the Trojan’s. It wa a fearful battle, end- ing by a 36-13 score with both Orange and Black teams being defeated. After spending a week with the Orange and Black defenders and their ships. Coach Barnhill guided his team to the Mason gym. Though all had hopes of a redemption over the prevl-J ous week end. they were soon shat- tered as the Masonites handed them a 29-20 count. The second string five downed the Masonites. 12-10. Losing Streak Ktided Something seemed to be wrong with ihe manipulations of Charlotte’ aerial play. Coach Btirnhill acted a bit wor- ried and had considerable trouble in finding the cause of being defeuted by the Alumni. Grand Ledge, Eaton Rap- ids. and Hastings In the attack that Charlotte launch- ed against Howell, there, they came out ahead. Leading the opponents at the half 14-9, they finished with a 25- 20 count. Much improvement was dis- played in their passing attack, and a well polished defense predominated. After the win over Howell, the lo- cals flew to the Grand Ledge gym only to bow. for the second time, at the feet of the opposing aggregation. In the first minute of the Mason game Charlotte’s youngest pilot. Smith, chalked a field goal. It w’aa a game in the air. in more than one way, no one knew who the victors were until ‘‘BUI Day tossed in the final two points, and the shrill call of the timer’s whistle sounded. The Mason lads knelt to their opponents' as the count registered 19-17. Defeat Falun Rapid� The same week of the Mason vic- tory they encountered Katon Rapids, handing them the battered and splintered handle to a 28-15 loss. In the first contest of the season the Is- landers drubbed the Orungo and Black, but what a comeback! The • game was close throughout, except i the last period, when Charlotte took a comfortable lead and held It. Fate had turned her course and the1 home team conquered the Boys' Vo- cational School. 29-13. Baseball Leads Spring Sports With the coming of spring, comes the spring sports, baseball, track, and golf. Five years ago was the last of the baseball ring for Charlotte, and it was that year that we tied for the Confer- ence championship with Albion. Dur- ing the opening nights of the spring practice, thirty-five men aided in the n aking up of the baseball team. The schedule showed fourteen games to be played off before the closing of school, and up to the date of May 25. they have won 4. with 5 more to play. Ralph Overmyer was elected cap- tain of the nine by a large majority. All of the proteges, now participat- ing. will return, with the possible ex- ception of two. Those who will be awarded for the season’s work are the following: R. Overmyer. (’apt.; D. Hale. C. Youngs. I). Smith. H. Dewey. W. Lake. B. Cheney. L. Stevens. H. Thomas. R. Thompson. A. Austin. J. Odell, T. Bust, A. Hammond, and L. Barnhill. True� Make� Noble Stand Til's year “Bob Cochrane and Har- old Sloan set two new conference records. Bob ran the 120 yard high hurdles in 18.7 seconds, a new record. Cochrane also holds the low hurdle record In the conference of 26.7 sec- onds from last season. Sloan stepped up the Little Seven Conference time in the half mile to 2 min. 9.1 sec. One. who should be commended, is Lester Pugh for his fine work with the track team.

D. Smith. L. Barnhill. R. Thompson. C. Youngs. D. Hale. B. Day. and D. Welsh. Golf Team Ret lew After holding the elimination tour- nament. on April 22. the following fel- lows were given positions on the 1933 golf team: Dean Rouska, Kenneth Bouser. Allison Kummell, Howard Saums. Harold Fisher, Melvin Sun- deen. and Wendell Moore. At present the golf team has won two match tournaments and lost three. The golf team played In the Little Seven Conference meet and also in the State and Regional Tournaments. The first five fellows previously men- tioned will receive letters this year.

S.— •The Charhian’ . This, and many similar signs. have been seen •round the building for the past week. What is II and why la it?” are the questions that have con- stantly been tired at the members of the publications council since the first sign was posted. It has been Impossible to give active accounts of high school life in the preceding school annuals. This, the Charhian can do. and at the same time special features that wore found in the Delphian will not be dropped. The Charhian means Charlotte high annual. It is a sixteen page booklet bound with the seventeen issues of the Orange and Black, whl-’h will give a complete account of the high school events for the year. It will contain the senior cuts, class prophecy, class history, high school calendar, which will be Indexed according to the Orange and Black and will contain a record of all the school afTairs. jokes, snaps. autograph room. writeups shout the baccalaureate service, class night and graduation pro- grams. and about the honor ban- quet. Organizations which wish to have their pictures in the annual may do •o for $8 Instead of $10. These will appear not only in tho Charhian but will be run throughout the year in the Orange and Black. Seniors will have their pictures in the Charhian free of charge. This Is something new but in no way will it be of less value to the student as a memory book. This sixteen page Issue will be given in addition to binding the seventeen Insue of the Orange and Black for fifty cents. By this method you will save 75 cents in the purchase of the book. Only those who buy the hound copy will receive the six- teen page Issue. This means of financing the «chooi publication makes it possible to edit more Issues of the Orange and Black this year.

That's been the cry of our school for the last several years. This yeur we have a new coach and he lias all the eualtties that go to make up a successful one. but in order to turn out a successful team he must have your co-operation. It's hard to put forth your best efforts when you feel as though they weren’t appreciated. You know that we all want to feel that our work is taken at its true value. The only way to show the fellows on the team and the coach that we appreciate their work is to get out and attend the games. The new coach knows his football and he has good material to teach this knowledge to. If you were on the team you would want the student body to show they appreciated the effort and time you were putting forth to establish a good athletic record for the school. So let's back the coach and the team for all we are worth.—R. J. O. CHARLOTTE llll.il St HOOL Ills IIV (.H Charlotte high school seems to have changed from a four to a five year course of study, when one observes all the post-graduates who are now going to the various classes. It is more startling to those who have been- connected with the school for a few years back, than the student of today. Unquestionably this happening is the result of this Infamous slump in all branches of industry, commonly known as the Depression.” Those who are now back in school realize the opportunity they have, when they have the chance to come back to school and brush up on a few things that will help them to be better fitted for their work when the time comes. And If they set out to muke the most of It who can blame them? —R. H. A TRADITION Among the mysteries that this year's fresh crop of eighth and ninth graders will be Introduced to will be the nickel-a-week plan. Of course to the veteran members of this school it is well known and accepted en- thusiastically. For the total expenditure of about two dollars a year, paid on the In- stallment plan, five cents down and a nickel a week, each student is ad- mitted to all home athletic contests, the three or four lyceum numbers and gets a subscription to the official school organ, the Orange and Black. The money thus received is divided into two principal funds: one for athletics, the other for school publications and two minor funds, the Lyceum and the “Union Fund”, which covers a multitude of odds and ends. Due to the faithful support given the plan previously by the student body, it has succeeded admirably. Certainly from the student's point of view it saves a good deal of dad's hard earned money (outsiders have to pay three or four dollars, for athletic contests alone). No student should find excuses for not paying this inslgniflcent sum, every student benefits. C’mon gang let's give the plan a big send-off.—D. II. B. WORK AND WIN! “Something easy and getting by”, are terms heard frequently in the halls. Many., who are In their last year, wish they had never heurd them. In planning a course a person should have in mind what he Intends to do when he leaves school and plan not to take the easiest subjects but the ones that will be of the most value to him. After all any subject that is mastered will have to have a certain amount of time and work spent on it and there is no use spending time on something that will do you no good. “Getting by really means doing a small amount of work and getting by. by the skin of your teeth. But remember the old saying. A person gets no more out of a thing than he puts in it. So let's try not to look for the easiest thing or getting a credit without work but choose the subjecta we need and get all we can out of them; and emerge from school with good credits and the knowledge that we have learned something.—D. C. RESURRECT JOAN Ex-Governor Green once stated that he remembered Charlotte by the fountain at the junction of Lawrence and Lansing streets. A well remembered landmark by alumni upon entering the high school was the figure of Joan-of-Arc. Remember when she used to pose in the lower hall? This time-honored work of art lent a distinction to the old pile that Is now sully lacking. Let’s resurrect this battered. Initial-marked old statue from the srore room and place It In its proper place. Anyhow Joan, for the more heartless, you made an excellent hat-rack. —H. B. I).

Getting Started Right (By Prine'pul Jay Dykhouse) The winning of a race depends to a large degree on the start. This u especially true of dashes of 100 yards or less. The athlete who ne- glects to bo alert and ready for the whistle will be bandit uippf«| throughout the race, and probably lose. n� e same applies to students be- ginning a new school year. If (,n« gels a good start the battle is half won. This implies being In school every day. on time, paying attention and doing your werk faithfully. When you feel yourself being led behind go to your teachers at once and get additional help. A stitch In time saves nine.” After wo leave school we are very apt to forget many of the things we learned from books and teachers but one of the traits thut remain. Is the uttltude we have toward life. Do we support things that are worthy? Do we stand on the side jt right9 Do we take an active part in church work end other worthy organizations? We should also keep In mind that a person should be developed on all sides. His body should be cared for. his mind trained, and his moral and spiritual qualities cultivated. If you have problems In life that are worrying you why don't you have a talk with your teachers about them? Perhaps they can help yon solve some of your difficulties.

Affair Politic A second attempt to hold a meet- ing of the post-graduates was made by ”11 Duce Flaherty on Septem- ber 20, but with very poor results. The first meeting of the class was neid a few days prior to the second one, and although there wore only sixteen members present Kingflah” Brown was elected president, and along with other officers, took his position as leader of the class. This caused a lot of complaint by those members of the class who were not invited to the meeting and thus un- able to exercise their franchise. ”11 Duce” being a lover of politics, was one of the first to take steps towards a re-election with more members present. He issued pam- phlets to all post-grads, advising them that an injustice had been done, due to the poor advertising as to the when and where-ahouts of the first meeting, and urged all members to convene In room 23, on September 20. for a re-election of eia?� officers. Thia second meeting, however, proved to bo juat nnothcr failure in the routine of politics, as only twenty-one members were pres- ent. and the majority of them were Kingfish” Brown's supporters, so II Duce” decided not to hold an election. Whether or not the post-graduates will ever get together and settle their political troubles still remains to be seen. It is rather hard to or- ganize a group of foity-slx students who are In school only one or two periods during the day. Not Ills Worry Professor; Yeung man, how many times have I told you to gel to this class on time!” Student: I don’t know. I thought you were keeping score. American Boy Magazine.

He is from an Indian reservation in Landrail. South Dakota, where he has tharge of the Indian boys. Mr. Grey- earth received a diploma making him a Itlaen of the United States after he completed the eighth grade. After he renounced the customs of the Indian, he was given another paper showing his citizenship. He obtained his last paper after the World War but he Is not allowed to vote. The government owned his property and he pa d no taxes. About five years ago. a law was passed making all Indians citi- zens of the United States. The Indians go to school the same as the whites. There are about twenty-three Indian schools, out of which, three give a high school educa- tion. The credits which they receive in their schooling are not accepied In many of the American colleges. The first school for the Indian was estab- lished In 1872 in Pennsylvania. Mr. Greyearth told how he had to go fourteen miles to school. He hated to go but the government officials forced all Indian boys to attend. They used to hide or make believe they were sick when they saw the wragon coming, which would take them to school. Tlie teachers took roll call four or five times a day. He said that they had to repeat the following words, “In the Indian Youth lies the hope of his race”, every morn- ing. noon and night for three years. He stated that the government schools have wonderful football teams. The Indian eighth graders have a team which plays against the Universities of different states. It is an honor to the Indian boy to mako the first team in all athletics. Mr. Greyearth said that he believed the Indians to be better sports than the white man They always stick to the Job until it Is finished.” He concluded his entertainment by singing two numbers, the first being a Sioux Indian song, and the second. From the Land of the Sky Blue Waters. He also gave a warwhoop.

Fried cakes and cider were served, after which the party ended with the formation of the Friendship Circle. A very picturesque and well-plan- ned miniature rock garden Is being constructed by four of Mr. Hennink's pupils in the agricultural room. As yet the model is still in the rough but is progressing bit by bit and promises to be a masterpiece, when finally completed. At the first glance, one would think some one was growing flowers, how-; ever upon closer inspection it may be seen that on either side of the aquar- ium there are small pools of water. The one on the left has a tiny foun- tain which will spray water into the air; the other one is backed by cas- cades having several steps which will eventually direct the course of water from the top to the pool below. The students who have so ingeni- ously devised this project are: Doro- thy Smith. Iai Keefer. Mary Coch- rane. and Robert Williams. They al- so plan to add to the decorations of flowers and ferns, a fine green velvety carpet which will make the rest of the work appear much more detailed and finished. SENIOR CLASS HOLDS MEETING The senior class held their second meeting October 6. in Mrs. Mitchell’s room, to decide upon the invitations to bo used for graduation. The meeting was called to order by President Wilcox. Several styles of Invitations were passed around and a vote taken to see which one would be used. Mayor Russell Cherry discussed what the class rings and pins are to bo like and how much they will cost. Mr. Chapelle told the class that he would begin his series of senior assemblies this week. The first student council meeting of the year was called by Mayor Russell Cherry on Monday. September 12. Aldermen showed their interest by a one hundred per cent attendance.

An initial Student Mixer was plan- ned with Almon Murray in charge of the details. The council extended an invitation to the county normal to at- tend the mixers, also to participate in the nickei-a-week plan and en- joy the benefits offered with it.

The fellows were called together and given a real pep talk by Superintendent Chapelle and the following alumni: Mr. Alien Mr Searles, Mr. Youngs. Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Bohn. Mr. Harmon. Mr. Parser and Dr. Garlinghouse. The team was givdn a real desire to win and something to work for in the form of a possible banquet at the end of the season. ..

Having won the first conference game for Charlotte In two vears the team returned home and were given a free lunch by the proprietors of the Club Lunch, and were promised free admission to the Eaton Theatre. The surprise promised by the Alumni has not been announced yet, but it is rumored the Charlotte eleven will soon appear in new jerse s. The support by the alumni and Charlotte merchants is repsonsible for the victory over Mason! If the students of C. H. S. will show half the spirit the alumni do. Charlotte high school s athletic teams may again become a factor in the Little Seven” conference. MORE ASSEMBLIES Why don’t we have more assemblies? That is question a lot of students are asking. Well, why don't we? Most of the blame is laid to the chairman of the assembly committee. Do the students stop to realize that it is as much their fault as the chairman’s. If more students would be willing to do their share towards entertainment for the assemblies then there would be more of them. As it is. the students do not volunteer to take part or try to bring in entertainment for our assemblies. The assemblies are for the stu- dents and try to please all of them. If you want better assemblies why not look around and find something that you think would be good instead of hollering when someone else does his part towards your entertainment. PETTY THIEVES It seems that there has been a great mistake made in having desks pro- vided to put our books In. Lockers with locks should have been Installed for this purpose in the first place. Then maybe some of the clever desk pickers would not have such an opportunity before them. The reason for the above consultation is that lately many things have come up missing, pens, notebooks, paper and other articles. Someone must have a nice collection by this time. TIiIm stealing business can’t go on. Something has to be done right away and it is up to us to co-operate and «top these petty thieves.—M. C. WE WANT A MIRROR The depression is on. if no one happens to know It. The fact was Just recently shown to us by a couple of senior girls rushing around the high room, trying to get a penny from each girl for a mirror, for the girls tele- phone booth. It seems that the girls are badly in need of a mirror. Last year there was a mirror to supply the girls’ needs, but this year It is nowhere to be found.—M. C. THEY WANT ME THEY WANT ME NOT In these days of catch as catch can school life how can a man call his soul his own? When one is late to class he is not allowed to enter until he has an admit from the principal. If one is late and does not enter class, the principal looks him up and wants to know why”. If one skips schol he Is Kicked out as a matter of course. If one should stay out. the powers that be , run him down and put him back in school? ! ? ! Moral: Either quit school, abide by the rules or take a post-graduate course. —H. B. D. ADVERTISING The Orange and Black, is financed from two sources, the ”nickel-a- week”. and the money received from local merchants, for advertising space. Quite a substantial part of the cost of publication must come from the latter source. In a time of depression, all business men, must cut the cost of operations and one of the first Items they have cut is advertising. The school paper has a real value as an advertising medium: to con- vince the local merchants of this fact, read the advertisements in it and trade with those who advertise. My dear II.

Anonymous Letter Received By Editor While it is against the editorial policy of the Orunge Black to publish unsigned letters, the follow- ing one was so amusing, that we could not resist the temptation. It is an exact copy, except for the many corrections in spelling: In answer to Mr. Flaherty’s poig- nant article in the last issue of the O B in which he imugines himself a columnist (I can only rightly say 'imagine', because it was a silly piece of mockery of which was copied from the picture, I ew Ayres, in O. K. America). The star por- trays a columnist which is all non- sense and is to disillusion the pub- lic on the newspaper racket, and the average movie fun wouldn't be so gullible to take it to heart in the manner that Mr. Flaherty did. When a little boy attends a western picture, you can't blame him for miniicing the deeds he saw his hero perform on the preceding night, but not so a high school grad- uate such as our erstwhile column- its. To be a successful columnist, one must be smart, huve nerve and be a stool pigeon, John qualifies in the latter. To prove my point about nerve he excepted three men from meet- ing him in the manly art of self- defense, the reason being they were the only three his size, excepting one and he wux even smaller than Rus- sell Cherry. Did that take nerve? To prove he isn't so smart, he escorted the notorious Shorty Moon to a party offered by John Smith. That will speak for itself. So in my opinion Mr. Flaherty better take off his diapers or enroll in the kindergarten. (Take this for a ride around the block in your Oldsmobile, Mr. Flaherty) . Editor’s comment: I wish to thank the writer for describing my column as being ‘poignant'. I think it is too. I did not find out 1 was a great columnist from O. K Ameri- ca. it was I ee Tracy, in Blessed Event, that convinced me I was a second Walter Winchell. I am not acquainted with shorty Moon, but she has a very nice name, so euphon- ious, you know. I am always happy to receive letters from my admirers and I will publish them whenever possible. IF YOl ASK ME Your reporter Interviewed certain prominent characters in C. lL S. for the purpose of obtaining their opinions of the recent assault on the boll ropes. Mr. Chapelle: Someone tried to get a thrill but missed it. because the bells only missed one ringing. I would advise the guilty party to use their ingenuity for something use- ful in the future. Principal Jay Dykhouse: Did you do It? Jonathan Stutzman: 1 think it was an act of poor citizenship. Mr. Duguid: It is absolutely wrong. Bill BotUmley. janitor: As near as I can figure out somebody want- ed the rope: they have It and I am laying for them.” Cannon-Ball Mcl eod. To say the least it is embarrassing. My theory is that somebody has been pulling ropes around here.” John J. Flaherty: Everything else that ever happened around here was laid on me so they might as well tack this on too. OKA NT.K A BLACK GRAND LEDGE TRIMS CHARLOTTE HIGH Orange fit Black Unable To Penetrate Grand Ledge’s Goal Territory Grand U-dge trounced Charlotte high school by a score of 38 to 0 last Friday.

His try for extra point was blocked. Score 6 to 0. Grand I edg kicked off in the end zone. Char- lotte's ball on their own 20 yard line. The ball was worked down the held a ways where Grand Ledge took possession of it. From this point Sattler. on another sweeping end run. made another touchdown. On the kickoff to open the second half Sattler ran it back for his third touchdown. On every play it looked like it was going to be a touchdown play with Sattler carry- ing the ball. The Charlotte team seemed to be in a daze. Day passes to Sparks, the left end. but when the ball was in nlid-air it was Inter- cepted by one of Grand ledge's men on the 13-yard line. Charlotte held for two downs but again this Sattler boy popped up with a touchdown. In the last quarter Sattler made another touchdown, this being his lifth Mis teammate.

York, one of the greatest civilian soldiers of the World ar. presented an address entitled. Why I Am For Prohibition , at the Congregational church, Thursday, September 29. Alvin York based his speech on his own experiences and observation be- fore and after the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect. For 8 years he was a drunkard before re- forming into a deeply religious man. As he himself expressed it. ‘l kind of realized I was missing the finer things of life. When you mine the finer things you may as well be a rozorback hog grubbing for acorns in the mountainside. He gave his own county seat, James- town. Tenneasee. as a typical exam- ple of the changes wrought by prohi- bition. In this town of eight hundred, the four corners were occupied by four saloons doing u thriving business. Now they are gone. As a result, w’here drunkards were a common sight, now- on his lecture tours he does not aver- age a drunk man a week. He also slated that under prohibition, condi- tions are much more advantageous for the young people of America. The people of Tennessee have found the standards of living so much improved by prohibition that York predicted that his state would vote for the con- tinuance of the Eighteenth Amend- ment. After the prohibition lecture. Ser- geant York related briefly his famous exploit in the Battle of Argonne At 6:10 on the morning of October 7. 1918, two hundred men went over the top toward the enemy. Of these, all but 17 were mowed down by a machine gun battalion. The machine guns must be taken and York was chosen to lead the attack They chaf- ed two German stretcher bearers back behind the lines, and came upon the battalion headquarter's staff break- fasting and captured It. York’s men were now in a bad posi- tion. behind the enemies' lines. The enemy reversed their fire and killed Sawyer Oil Co.

Then the commander whom York had already captured ordered his battalion to surrender. With only two men. York led the one hundred and thirty-two prisoners back through the Germans lines to the American lines and turned them over safely to French military police be- hind the American trenches which were under a heavy German barrage. The first touchdown of the game came when Bust fell on a fumble on Mason’s thirty yard line. On a few- short runs Cochrane carried the ball over the goal line.

Mr. Chapelle. superintendent of schools: “I believe that the Char- hian is a fine thing. It will be a complete history of the school throughout the year and it will compare in every respect with the Delphian.' Mrs. Ki pi lager: “I believe that . the' Charhian is a good thing to j have and it will be very appropriate. | considering the times. The Char- hian will also be less formul and more people will be able to enter into it. Harold Fisher, junior class pres- ident: I think the Charhian will be equal to the Delphian and the student will like it very much.” Mr. Dykhou.se principal: 'The Charhian is the best idea that has ever hit this school. It will save money, it will be more complete, more interesting, a better keepsake, and will take in the whole school. I am entirely for the Charhian. Miss Wells, assistant principal:; “I heartily approve of the Charhian and It seems to me that it is the best way to conserve in times like these. Mr. Stutzman: I believe that the Charhian will prove very popular with the students, inasmuch as the bonk will be much cheaper and more students will be included in It. Mayor Russell Cherry: The Char- hian will establish a new prestige in Charlotte high school.

XT ClJ APELLE Superintendent Lectures Seniors on Psychology Explains Beliefs Concerning Astrolo- gy, Demonology and Phrenology E. H. Chapelle. superintendent of Charlotte schools, during the past week, has been giving a series of lec- tures to the senior class on adolescent problems. Professor Chapelle discussed wlthi ?he seniors this week questions con- cerning the psychological side of the students life Such problems as why a person does this or why he does that, and his certain reactions to his mental urges. “One does not act as he does. said Mr. Chapelle. because of the fact that he is possessed of a devil, man’s prim- itive belief called demonology: or be- cause he was born under a certain star, astrology: or because of a cer- | tain bump on his head, the study of which is called phrenology, or because of the fact that his character may be read in his face from the study of physiognomy: but his actions are j prompted by his nervous system. There are also the palmistry, hand- writing. and the tea-leaf methods by which certain individuals believe that their characters may be manifested. “The nervous system ', as he con- tinued. is composed of tiny threads, adjoining the brain. These nerves are not solid, hut intermesh at synopses. The transfer from the nerve ends is made through neurons which make up the nerves. Impressions are con- stantly being made from the outside world, and the nerves respond. When an Impression is received, we make a reaction to it through either our muscles or our glands and our re- sponses are from the influence of heredity or environment. Our nvetn- tal traits or urges are seemingly in- born or universal. We have many of these urges, some of which are The urge to per- petuate the Individual and the race: the urge for food and shelter; the urge for gregarousness. or the de- sire to be with a crowd: and the urge for power, self esteem, leadership, and position. Thus it is our environmental con- ditions and hereditary impulse, which prompts us to react and respond to our mental urges.

Rest of Journalism Class STl'DENT MIXERS Our everyday life would indeed be a drab and worthless thing if it were not for our friendships. They are to be one of our mon valued treas- ures in life. In later years you will look back upon your school days with fondness because of the many happy friendships you formed. On this theory our Student Mixers are based. At these social gather- ings It is hoped that everyone will enjoy himself and enrich his everyday life by a more sincere friendship. Whether it be between teachers and student or between the students themselves. No better time can be had anywhere than at our Mixers. If you do not enjoy dancing come anyway as you’ll be sure to enjoy the entertainment furnished during the intermission and the general feeling of happiness and good fellowship that prevails.—R. J. O. LOST SOMETHING I “I left that pen laying right on my desk, and now it’s disappeared! This exclamation, and similar ones can always be heard throughout C. H. S. Why? Because students will not co-operate. Instead, each one’s policy Is: I look out for myself, let the others do the same. Have you ever heard of the Ix� st and Found Department? In case you haven't, it Is a system established for those unfortunate who can never find their personal belongings. So let's start today and bring all the straying pens, books, and what have you. to the Lost and Found Department.—I. M. K. CHAPELLE AND PSYCHOLOGY Mr. Chapelle has been attempting to explain why we do certain things in his very interesting talks on phychology given In the last few days for the seniors. The causes of human conduct has been traced from early times, when the idea of demonology or the possession of evil spirits was what was gen- erally considered as the reason for one's actions. As time went by other ideas were ofTered. such as the stars Influence one's life, or that the forma- tions on a person's head or body control his life. The explanation that is now considered by psychologists as plausible. Is that a person does as he does because of one’s nervous system, or urges or instincts that are acquired either by heredity or environment. Many interesting experiences and illustrations have been brought In by Mr. Chapelle and often prove to be very humorous. Many of the occupants of the room were slightly embarrassed when the explanation of certain contours of the head was offered or when illustrations of certain urges were made. The benefit that is derived from these lectures is beyond market value.; Each senior receives something that will always be helpful to him and may be a solution to his problems It is hoped that Mr. Chapelle will continue these beneficial lectures throughout the year. TOPSY TI'KVEY Students, do you ever read your ancient history books? If so. In them you will And that in ye good old days, when men were men and women wore bonnets, that books were chained to the library shelves. The merits of this custom In the light of modern learning are small; but by the appearance of our high room library maybe It would be a good thing if the powers that be applied this custom to our own storehouse of knowledge. It would probably be embarrassing to some, who insist upon putting the books back in a haphazard fashion or else not at all. After u day of this, the honorable book case looks like the fat man’s limousine when he couldn't find his road map. So let's tidy up for company’s sake.—D. G. G. It seems to be the fashion to receive anonymous letter now a days. I wonder why? Every senior was surprised when they found Mr. Chapelle's talks were humorous. Charlotte has won two football games and lost four, poor beginning good ending, so let’s beat Eaton Rapids. [JANITORI j At the Keyhole j In one of his recent talks to the senior class. Mr. Chapelle suid words to the effect that there never would be another man like him. He also said that the reason why most people Joined the army, was to show off their uniform. (Jay Dykhousc and Dick’’ Hall please take notice.) Angus MacLeod, a prominent post- graduate. states that first year French Is all Greek” to him. Mr. Dykhouse reminds one of the Angel Gabrial. as he goes about the high room, the seventh and eighth periods, waking tho sleepers. Quest What Is the most pitiful sight in school? Ans: A teacher washing black- boards. It is rumored that when one of our prominent students was hurt in an auto accident recently. John Jacob II Duce Flaherty, alias Harvey Han- son. ran a mile and a half to the hos- pital to get the story. This is a record for C. H. S. reporters. Instead of saying. I will see you In the funny paper. the modern wise cracker says. “I will see you in the Charhian. Jack Forell is stepping out” a little these days. It is believed that he took the president of the Girl Re- serves to a recent student mixer. Why is Remona Swan wearing a Hl-Y pin? (Muskegon?) Eddie Gibbs carries a lot of weight around this school, 24? pounds, to be exact Cannon Ball MacLeod is a close second with about 246. while Jay Dykhouse tips the scales at a measly 205. Correct this statement: Charles Henry Spice died yesterday from over work. Mr. Spice, who was In the upper third of his class, would have graduated this year. He figured PROMINENTLY In all school activi- ties. was always ready to co-operate with the faculty and was on the honor roll every marking period of his high school career. He will be mourned by his host of admirers. Rumor has it that If Elmon Lentz! remains In school, cuspidors will have to be installed in order to keep the steam radiators from rusting.

MEMOIRS OE A MANIAC Mr. Chapelle—oh mister, did you know you made some awful breaks In those lectures? Remember when you told about the American in Venice, who. while walking down the street, saw a gondola full of rah, rah, boys? Now who ever heard of streets in Venice that one could walk on? Freshies, watch your step! There is new speed limit In the halls of the building, at least so it seems for Mr. Stutzman has relieved a couple of boys of their school work for a few days. Rumor has It that it’s due to too much locomotive spirit or sumpin . Well If ever you happen into trouble Just sit down and write a letter to the Orange and Black, or J. J.

PETTY I’Ol’RT GOSSIP Mr. Chapelle's eighth hour law class was the scene of a lawsuit between Almon Murray and Leslie I«uuritzen. I eslie charged Murray with assault and battery. Horace Darby was the prosecuting attorney and Jacqueliue Kurreman was ihe attorney for the de- fense. It all started over a book that the plaintiff was reading when the defend- ant snatched it out of his hands. The plaintiff snatched it back. The defendant smote the plaintiff mightily on the chest. The plaintiff retaliated from the tangle of mups in the corner and dealt the defendant a formidable blow’ in the mid-riff. The fighting then became general. Mr. Stutzman. witness for the prose- cution. fearlessly interceded. When the brawl ended Mr. Slutz- man was subduing the defendant with a combination bar hammer lock and half nelson and the plaintiff was flee- ing the vicinity as gracefully as is possible nt high speed. The trial lasted for two days with the spectators on the edge of the seats and the attorneys at each others throats sparring for an opening. Attorney � Karrenmn made a very dramatic plea to the Jury, which con- sisted of six ladies and six gentlemen. She made no Impression on her own sex. After a heated controversy of five minutes duration the Jury brought In u divided decision of six guilty and six not guilty, and the cose was dis- missed by Judge Chapelle.—H. D. ORANGE A III.

The third quarter was an even battle with neither team gaining much ground. The fourth quarter was one of the 1 brills for the local fans.

The Orange and Black squad fought gamely for four long quarters, hut were not a match for the fast charging team presented by East Lansing. Although complete- ly outclassed «nd outweighed the local hoys fought and tried and that is the most Important thing. The game was featured by many long runs on the part of East Lansing and some hard tackling on the part of the Charlotte team. One of the most outstanding plays of the game was a beautiful spiraling punt that traveled 60 yards ofT the toe) of Bud Nickerson, local right half-1 back. It was by far the longest kick of the day. East Lansing made their first touch- down early in the first period on a pass from Grantham to Pearsall from the Charlotte 20 yard line. The col- lege city eleven had little trouble in holding the local squad, but the fine spirit of the Charlotte players brought praise from the opponents.

Orange and Black Battles Valiantly to Score Lone Touchdown Charlotte high school was badly routed by the Hastings eleven last Friday by a score of 44 to 6. This was the second game played at Charlotte this year. Although the locals put up a scrappy fight they were unable to hold off the onslaughts of Hastings. The locals snere unable to cope with the type of play used by their opponents. End runs and aerial at- tack spelled defeat for Charlotte. In the Hastings game Coach Barn- hill used a revamped back field which was composed of Youngs and Sparks, linemen In former games, with Fisher and Nickerson at their usual positions. Youngs. Sparks. Kelley and Thomas were outstanding on the Charlotte eleven while the whole team played stellar football for Hastings. In the last quarter SparkM intercept- ed a pass from Hastings and run for 35 yards before he was downed, from there Charlotte scored In a few plays..

Common Council Prohibits Bathing Saturday evening will no longer hold the important placo it has held for years past when the order of the common council goes into effect. That is if it should ever go into effect again as it did once before. That, however. Is getting a little ahead of tho story. It seems that the first bath tub in this country was built in Cincinnati and installed in a house in that city in 1842. This tub was a huge affair made of heavy sheet lead und Incased in mahogany. Its proud possessor first exhibited it to his guests at a Christmas party. When news spread of Us unveiling the papers denounced the bath tub as a luxurious and undemocratic vanity. Doctors proclaimed it destructivo to vitality and a menace to health. The common council of Philadel- phia in the following year feared that Indiscriminate bathing might Impair the vitality of our race. As a result they prohibited bathing in bath tubs between November 1 and March 1. This could not be en- forced and only acted as a stimulus to the 'vico . Boston in 184 5 made the practice unlawful except when prescribed by a doctor. Then, as in recent times, tho good old sawbones could be re- lied upon to be just a little lenient in their prescription writing. The state of Virginia, however, struck at the heart of tho menace by levying a special tax of $30 a year on all bathtubs. This was foiled by the simple expedient of subsidizing workmen to install the diabolical tubs in secret places. Soon it was learned that the English had adopted the habit of bath tubs to such an extent that they even carried portable tubs when traveling. This so humiliated the hotel and inn keepers that they in- JERROLDS Any Suit in Store $13-88 Principal Dykhouse and Mr. Duguid , rooted for Michigan at the Mlchlgan- Illinois game last Saturday.

The invitation going the farthest dis- tance is to Lyle Jackson in Singapore. Mulay States, who played in 1929. Judge McPeek will be among those present from the team of 1893. The dinner will take place in the, Community rooms at 6:45. Mr. Lee J. StuilU, who once atteuded school here, and is now' a sports writer for the Detroit Times, will be the main speakor. Informal dancing will fol- low the dinner. If Charlotte conquers Eaton Rapids on Armistice Day they will end their season, as far as conference games, with great success. Although the Orange and Black has not been victor- ious over every team and will not win the little seven league championship they will have proven to be worthy subjects under Coach Barnhill’s able leadership. Charlotte’s first conference game was with Mason who proved to be too weak for the local grlddera. This vic- tory. which waa the first in two years, spirited the team into a lighting eleven who fought the remainder of the games with a loyal zeal. The game November 11 with Eaton Rapids will be the outstanding clash of this year's schedule. The two teams are evenly matched and an attitude of revenge prevails between the two schools. If the hope of winning holds good the locals will have won three contests and bowed to three teams in the conference games. Although this is Kenneth Barnhill's first year of coaching he has shown outstanding leadership with his grid- ders and should be given due credit. The Orange and Black won games from Mason 12-0 and Howell 14-0, and were defeated by Euat Lansing 53-0. Hastings 44-6, and Grand Ledge 38-0. The Island City game is the only re- maining conference battle. It will be played at Bennett Park, our local field, and Is hoped to be placed among the Mason and Howell on the conquered list. Diver To Relate Undersea Tales Undoubtedly, many men have talked to school boys and girls more often than Robert Zimmerman, but it is said to be a safe bet than none has been so enthusiastically received or has delighted so many. Mr. Zimmerman, who is a deep sea diver, will speak at next week’s as- sembly. He took many pictures of the bottom of the sea. This fact makes a good lecture, but his later experience exploring the ocean’s depths for lost caravans of the sea are referred to as beyond description . Bob Zimmerman, buried alive under hundreds of tons of sea water, grasp- ing around in the darkness of Davy Jones’ locker”, fastened by a rope and a hose to a frail craft one hundred feet above, crawls on his hands and knees through portholes exploring the hurled ships and getting information about derricks, air locks, coffer-dams, and all the strange complicated ma- chinery of tho deep sea. He tells of the dangers such as snagged or broken air lines and of the air hose getting clogged. Mr. Zimmerman brings with him a unique collection of deep sea curios. DONKEY WINS SCHOOL VOTES Roosevelt and Comstock were the major victors In tho campaign polls conducted in the high school last Fri- day. The Commercial Law class conduct- ed its poll throughout the whole school with votes taken on only presidential and gubernatorial candidates. Roose- velt received 255 votes; Hoover. 206; Comstock. 232; Thomas 25. Comstock received 232: Brucker 211. Another poll was taken in the history and civics classes of the high school. This poll was conducted with regular ballots, including ones with the proposed amendments to the state constitution, the same as the ones used in the genoral election of Tuesday. In this poll Roosevelt received 151 votes; Hoover. Ill: Thomas, 27; Comstock. 156: Brucker. 125. Luren Dickinson. Frank Fitzgerald. Patrick O'Brien, Theodore Fry. and Oramel Fuller were the state candi- dates who came out on the top. Henry Glasner received a large ma- jority over his opponent, John David- son. for senator. Fisk Bangs and Spencer Cribb were the county candi- dates who received a large majority over their opposition. Four of the proposed amendments were voted no on. the first, third, fourth, and sixth. The others were voted yes. CHARLOTTE LOYAL TO ATTEND BLAZE Cheer Leaders And Circus Band To Assist Tire Effigy Burning Crowds of eager, blood thirsty spec- tators will gather In back of the high school building tonight to witness the burning of an odious effigy of Eaton Rapids. Charlotte’s bitter rival of long standing. The large bonfire on the eve of the Eaton Rapids game has become a time honored tradition In Charlotte. This year's blaze promises to be of here-to- fore unknown enormity. The cheering, dancing throng, illum- inated by the scorching light of the symbolic Are. will be urged on to great- er school loyalty by alumni of high standing who can be trusted to create a frenzied shouting of Charlotte’s war cry, “Beat Eaton Rapids” which will echo and resound from house-top to house-top. Horace Darby, ace cornetlst. will present the Circus Band to add riotous music to the general excitement. Bill” Tullis. Frances Sundquist. Max Gee. and “Bea” Moore. Charlotte’s snappy cheer leaders, will lead the im- passioned yells of the student body, fol- lowing which all will Join In the strenuous snake dance through the business district of the city. At the intersection of Main and Lovett streets a circle will be formed and more lusty cheers will be raised to the skies and doubtless carried by willing breezes toward Eaton Rapids. Friday morning the fourth hour a pep meeting will be held In the high room. The entire school band will fur- nish stirring music and songs pro- claiming Charlotte’s loyal spirit will be sung. Several star football players and prominent post-graduates will give pep talks and Coach Barnhill will present his opinion of the team’s chances in the afternoon's game. Anticipation and excitement will be raised to the highest possible pitch by more stirring yells. All the students will be dismissed at noon to attend the big game of the year, hoarsely shouting— BEAT EATON RAPIDS! November to Mark Third Student Mixer Thanksgiving Theme To lie tarried tint In Decorations And Entertainment A week from tomorrow night the third Mixer of the year will be held in the gymnasium. The nearness of Thanksgiving suggests an appropri- ate motive for the decorations. The decorations will be expensive and the result of much planning and hard work. Colored lights, balfoons. confetti, and many other novelties will do much to make this one of the finest Mixers of the year, the committee has stated. Another new orchestra, the Har- mony. Kings, has been secured to fur- nish the music. The orchestra will have a novel setting.

We all can see that. It is most ancient, dilapidated, and on the road to the junk heap. Most of our equipment is a disgrace to the school. The objects undoubtedly in the worst shape are the two pianos that the school boasts. These two vintages of ‘98 which would make a fitting gift for any mus- eum of ancient history are battered, out of tune, and in a general state of decay. The only good thing that can be said for them is that beneath the scars of battle can be seen a joint resemblance of a piano and we expect to have someone perform on such things. If they hit a few blue notes and get mixed up in general, we criticize them when we should be criticizing our- selves. The condition of pianos and other school property is not due to some- body else. It is the result of our own carelessness. When we have something that belongs to somebody else we have no regard for it and do not attempt to keep it in its original condition. But remember that you are not the only frog in the pond, somebody else has to use these things so show a little j respect for them when you use or handle them. Let’s be a little more careful I with school property when you use it and at least try to keep it presentable. PI SH FROM THE SIDELINES Very often you hear students say. I am not going to the game— they'll lose anyway. Is that the right kind of spirit to show? HARDLY. Good school spirit helps a team to win many of their games. A team is judged to a certain extent by the backing It has from its stu- dent body. Therefore, if the team has a large following of students behind it. It goes into a game knowing and feeling that the student body is concerned about the outcome. Good athletic spirit Is not only backing the team when it is winning, but also when it is losing, for if a team ever needs your support it is then. Charlotte high this year can feel proud of the backing that they have given the football team, especially at the home games. When you go to a game YELL! Root with all your might! Let the folks know that you are behind your team one hundred per cent. Tomorrow we play Eaton Rapids here and let’s go down and get behind our team and see them on to victory, and let’s let folks know we are behind our team— let’s go! THE MOST IN BERN OF KISH ED Every day Mr. Dykhouse is seen going about taking his daily dozen picking up waste paper from off the floors anil desks. The waste baskets are starving for want of enough to eat. The floors cheat them out of most of their provender and their favorite dessert. Chewing gum is parked under the desks or in the case of flappers, behind the ear. These receptacles of rubbish are placed in convenient places to perform a more useful purpose than just being a part of the stationary landscape of C. H. S. So! the next time you have some paper that has outlived its usefulness, instead of casting it to the four winds pul it in the waste basket along with the chewing gum and give the old dear a feast. HIGH ROOM RELICS How many of you when in the high room have felt a sad vacant feeling like some dear familiar object was missing but you didn't know what? Well I can tell why you were so desolated. Among other things it Is those wall pedestals on each side of the stage; the Roman statues they used to support are no more. About two years ago one of them crashed to earth in ruin, the other Just disappeared, ask the janitor where it Is. Now the pedestal on the left up- holds a bronze child standing on lop of one of the library books with a sword in his hand, trying valiantly to defend a decaying tradition. Then those corroded busts of President Lincoln and McKinley on the east wall, their faces look as if they had not been washed since the World War when they were installed. Every spring we have an epidemic of spring fever caused by that en- trancing scene on the back of the stage. Still for all this the high room is for us to study in; the window shades may be In shreds but never the less it has a heart of gold, and if you search long enough you can find it; maybe in one of its faculty memtors. DOG JANITOR At the Keyhole Good morning all of you little mor- ons This is SKRZYKI RAJKONICH, the old shovel manufacturer, about to call a spade a spade. Of course, we didn't doubt her word, but we were a wee bit taken aback when Jacqueline Karreman told Mr. Stutzman in commercial law class that Herbert Hoover was born the day before she was. Tisk! tlsk! The high school band is making rapid progress? Last Thursday they had a staff of instructors out there which consisted of everyone from the janitors to the superintendent of schools. Almon Murray is the new drum major. And Is he hot? Would anyone else like to strut his stuff. The only thing they haven’t tried is a wooden Indian for drum major. No wonder the seniors had a hard time party. The high cost of being a senior is hitting some of the little tin gods in the vicinity of the pockctbook, and they can’t take It. According to Mr. Duguid we have many things to thank chemistry for. One of them is blonds. Shave off the mustache. Frace, we know you're I-on Chaney! Many of last year’s mighty seniors who tried to stage a comeback as post graduates have given it up: you can’t teach an old dog new tricks Edna Cushing plus a model A Ford times a senior party. Equals? Mister Anderson has a new theory. He claims the reason that a duck stands on one leg is due to the fact that If he raised the other leg off the ground, he would fall. One member of the faculty came to school the other day all decked out like a brigadier general in the Swiss navy with a Hoover pin on one lapel and a Roosevelt pin on the other. He's probably a socialist. GENERAL SCHOOL RILES TO BE OK NOT TO BE Whenever In the act of navigating through the halls, go full speed and do not stop for anybody or anything i unless you happen to meet Mr. Dyk- house or other members of the facul- ty elite.) When entering the assembly hall, disregard all traffic rules and rush for the seat nearest the front. When you think of kicking about the marks on your card-well-just for- get about them. When coming up the stairs use the north one, when going down use the bannister. The wastepaper baskets are only ornaments, put the wastepaper on the floor. Do not pass notes —throw ’em! Anyone’s coat laying on the floor should be left there. Rubbers should be kicked as far as possible. Gum can be chewed in classes, especially Mrs. Kiplinger’s, try it and And out. Because of its advanced age and general decrepitude, nothing difficult must be attempted on the piano. School property should be left where last used.

Below its pale moonlit face reposed the clock’s structure and below that nothing was stirring (so it seemed). But wait: Suddenly then echoed and re-echoed through the corridors of the tower a long high pitched creak- ing sound then all became silent. The clock’s hands became nervous as he tried to hide from his eyes the awful scones which he thought surely would follow. But even though he listened Intent- ly, no other sound came from the chasm to frighten him. so summoning all his courage he moved his hands a little farther apart and poured down upon the quaint village resting so peaceably in the valley. A cloud passed slowly across the moon’s face and as the sky clouded the clock’s works missed a beat. What was that thing down near the city hall? A long legged, gaunty thing with torn and patched clothes and a head-----what a terrible head, huge It was and all yellow with age. and look! The thing had eye sockets but no sign of an eye was visible, its mouth resembled the port side of a man- eating shark and that thing was slow- ly making its way up the hill toward the tower, on which reposed the ever watchful face of the clock. On it came, nearer and nearer, then, as if struck by lightning It stopped, turned in its tracks, and emitted a low whistle. The clock looked up and glancing over the town found numerous groups of Innocent people having parties, play- ing games and laughing, in one spot near a hotel an old fashioned dance was going on with everyone shouting with glee. Looking down the main street the clock saw an awful sight. An old Ford truck loaded with corn stalks was running up and down all the while being relieved of its load and when it had finished the street looked more like a stable than a place of business. Far off In the distance some of Chick Sales’ Specialties could be seen crumbling to the ground all for no apparent reason. Various street lights were being gently lowered to the more solid expanses of terratlrma which ull In all the places mysteriously transformed. The clock looked at the thing near the tower and was surprised to see it surrounded by a cross section of every- thing imaginable that walks on two legs, everything from dwarfs to whis- kered men with painted faces at a sig- nal they commenced a round about march to the school house where they kindly deposited a load of trash In form of a farm wagon, and all. They had hardly finished when the bell in the school sent out a series of short stacatto barks, and again everything was still, the mob had vanished, the parties were over and the sun rose on groups of Industries, young lads laboring on various windows trying to remove the bad effects of a Hallowe’en eve. ORANGE A BLACK ORIOLES CONQUER HOWELL ELEVEN Charlotte Gridders Meet And Resist Opponents Throughout Game Charlotte high school severely trounced the Howell gridders last Friday by a score of 14 to 0. The game was played at Charlotte. The Orange and Black used speed and de- ception to a large degree in bringing about the defeat of Howell. The play- ers who deserve special merit were Kelley and Forell on the line while Youngs. Sparks, and Smith showed high class ability as ball toters. Howell high school played a nice game but the locals proved too much for them. Howell kicked ofT to Charlotte to open the game. Sparks made five yards ofT tackle. Smith picked up seven yards and a first down for Char- lotte. Howell held this time, forcing Smith to punt. However failing to make necessary yardage, they kicked to Smith who ran out of bounds. Again the diminutive quarter showed his worth by ripping off six yards more around left end. Youngs made three off tackle. Smith punted to Howell who fumbled soon after re- ceiving and Charlotte recovered. Sparks tore his way through center for three yards. Youngs gained three at the same place. Youngs crashed over for the touchdown. Youngs place kicked the extra point. In the second half Charlotte started going places again. Youngs hit cen- ter for three years. Smith smashed his way around end for five yards but Howell held on the next play. The ball was punted deep Into Howell's territory. Howell punted and the ball was run back twenty yards by Smith. Youngs Injured his shoulder and Cochrane replaced him. Cochrane picked up five yards off tackle. Coch- rane made a first down. Smith on a sweeping end run carried the ball across the goal line. Cochrane plung- ed his way across the goal line for the extra point. Howell made a valiant attempt to score In the last period but failed when Kelley charged In and broke up a puss to give Charlotte the ball on their five yard line. Smith punted out of danger ou the thirty-five yard line. ! 1902 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE till vet Reserves 0 Charlotte 6 M. S.

Shell Service Station Goodrich Tires LOCAL REVEN IN HOPES OF VICTORY OVER ISLANDERS Old Rivals To Meet On Home Field In Final Battle Of Year, November I 1 After two straight defeats in as many years by their most deadly rivals. Eaton Rapids, the Orange and Black squad will be out to have re-, venge tomorrow afternoon. So far this year the two teams have been evenly matched. At present each has a rating of four hundred per cent having each won two games. Another reason to believe that they will In- fairly even Is that each team defeated Mason 12-0 and the locals trimmed Howell 14-0 while the Cardinal eleven beat them 13-7. These scores indicate tbit tomorrow’s game promises to be a battle. If Charlotte is defeated tomorrow it will be the first time that Eaton Rap- ids ever defeated Charlotte three games in succession. The local squad will bo in there fighting hard to deserve the banquet they will receive after the game and also to present Coach Barnhill a vic- tory and a five hundred per cent rat- ing for the year. Eaton Rapids will have one of the best conference backs in Homer Fra- iler who has been leading the Island City team this year. As yet the coaches of the respective schools have not given out the lineup, but the following boys will probably be in there for Charlotte: Redick and Kelley, ends. Thomas and Schlmmel. tackles. Forell and Bust, guards. Stevens, center. Sparks and Smith, halves. Youngs or Cochrane, full back. Nickerson or Halnea. blocking back. Charlotte Cafe LUNCH .......-....... DINNER.

November 1, in the high school gymnasium. And Just so that everyone could thoroughly enjoy himself, overalls seemed to be the proper raiment for the occasion. A committee of five seniors decided that in order to live up to the title by which this group goes, the party should be a nutty nite occasion. Accordingly, the first part of the evening was spent in games which brought out the full meaning of this title. The party started with a peanut hunt , and each person finding any peanuts was required to let his leader know either by crowing or cackling. The other games which followed were: a relay race, which involved golf balls, pillows and pillow cases; a tag game; another peanut game: und a contest to decide who was the best sculptor in molding gum. The last part of the evening was spent in dancing to music played by Larry Babcock, a former entertainer at the Student Mixers. The refreshments consisted of lunches furnished by the girls, each of whom shared her lunch with the boy who drew her number.

He was assisted by Sitting Bull Boy , grandson of the most famous Indian in history, Sitting Bull. His programs are made more im- pressive by his illustrations of tribal songs and ceremonial dances por- trayed in authentic costumes. No effort is made by Mr. Loring to idealize or modernize these songs of the red man. He brings them to his audiences in all their crudity and sav- agery. some times sad and plaintive.

He will speak about some of his adven- tures while he was living In Chile. In the past years the travel club has had many an active program and has taken many trips. Two years ago the travel club group went to the Kellogg cereal factory at Battle Creek whero they were taken through the factory by the factory employees. After they had spent the forenoon going through the plant they were treated to a free lunch by the company. Last year the club visited the State reformltory at Ionia and the same day also visited the reed furniture and later in the afternoon visited the State hospital for the criminal insane. Miss Wells, the travel club advisor, stated that this trip was one of the best that she ever was on. The travel club hopes to take many similar trips this year. The travel group this year is smaller than that of the preceding years, being represented by less than thirty members.

JUVENILE ACTORS TO APPEAR SOON Activity “Behind the Scenes” in Full Progress; Partners Show Romantic Strain When loitering students in the high room are dismissed with a ’’shoo” from Mrs. Mitchell they are aware that the junior play Is in progress. Difficulty is usually encountered (n gathering the juvenile actors and artresses together each night after school, but at nbout ten minutes after four practice has most always begun. Duane Burton, known as ’’Fritz” to the other members of the cast, keeps everyone on the Jump with his numerous pranks, but when the time comes for his appearance on the stage Fritz” is invariably miss- ing. It is doubtful as to whether he will even be there at the presen- tation of the play unless he speeds up his entrances. Behind the scenes.” where real theatre life is said to take place, is evidently an exciting location. Betty King, a negress. and lone Pryor, daughter of the houso of Hurley, cause considerable disturb- ance, but seem to stage an excellent vaudeville, from the sounds of ap- preciation that reach those out front. Extreme disappointment has been expressed that Mr. McCall cannot take part in the play, for the im- promptu bits of acting he has dem- onstrated to tho group show prom- ise of his being a second Barrymore. Kent Campbell, who professes to be a detective, should heed the sug- gestion that he hide his flaming top- I knot for it will prove a danger sig- ; nal to criminals. The play has been progressing rapidly. Some real talent is display- ed by the amateurs. Along with the play, several new romances have been progressing also. The parts they enact on the stage have left their murk on Evelyn Stickroe and Jean Quantrell. they're casting sweet glances at each other already. Evelyn Chevalier and Murl Parker are feeling It too. Ralph Overmyer und Marjorie Ross have become better acquainted of late, and there’s no mistaking the friendship of Eleanor Toutant and Jack Forell. Mrs. Mitchell reports that all is going well and the characters are showing much promise. Mr. McCall states that coaching is interesting and the juniors are willing workers. Curiosity as to the plot of the play has been aroused around school, but the secret will not out and the many questions will only be answered when Laugh Clown” is presented I ecember 8 and 9. ©N THE WAT Nov. 24.

IIARLAN Met ALL REPORTERS ...................... REST OF JOURNALISM ( LASS BLUE MONDAY Monday morning! With the gay lingering thoughts of those two glorious days of freedom nothing but memories of the past, we reluctantly turn our minds to the more practical things of life, lessons, teachers, and that cold gray edifice known as high school. This particular day of the week is known as Blue Monday”, and it usually a bad day for everyone. But why not, with unfinished or forgotten assignments, very little sleep, and a severe case of indigestion cuused from over-indulgence of Sunday’s dinner? Then the climax of the day arrives, when upon entering the class room, we find much to our surprise and dismay that a test is about to be given, our thoughts unconsciously wander back to our carefree childhood days when work was the least of our worries but we are rudely awakened by the per- sistent demands to get paper and pencil immediately. With the helpful thoughts of another wonderful week-end ahead we man- age to pull through the day. but won’t we be glad if the time ever comes when Monday happens at the end of the week instead of the beginning.—I. M. K. TARDINESS Now is the time of year when tardiness is at its height. Rural students are the guilty who come in late these mornings. Car froze up. had to shovel our way most of the time, flat tire, driver didn't come as early as he usually does, and engine trouble are a few of the many excuses for tardiness. Students who live in town don’t have as good excuses as rural students but still quite a few come in Just late enough so a yellow slip is in order. Some students don't care how much they come in late but if they would realize how much disturbance they cause and what our school would be like if everybody reacted to the rules and regulations as they do, they might get up fifteen minutes earlier every morning and turn over a new leaf. Let's all try it at least and see how we come out and there is no question but what It will make things better all the way around.—K. C. WHAT FOOLS WE MORTALS BE Vanity is a universal characteristic—and where would people be without their pride? So none can blame the eager students who of late have been primping and fussing in their Sunday-go-to-meetlng clothes in preparation for the event of the season, the photograph, taken for the high school annual. High hopes were entertained by all that the handsome likeness of him- self that each had conjured up in his mind's eyes would be justified by the camera in the resulting pictures. Mr. Photographer must have been greatly harassed and upset by the supposedly irresistible smirks that were turned to- ward the famed ’’birdie” under the black cloth. Students viewed the proofs of their pictures with trepidation and grow- ing dismay. Surely their respective countenances did not appear to the world at large like this! Ah. there’s the rub. the hurt, the revelation. See yourself as others see you. The camera does not lie. Illusions of grandeur tumbled about bewild- ered heads, and finally, creeping stealthily into foggy brains came the reali- zation that the imagined beauties were not there, a face is a face, but nothing exceptional. A lesson has been learned, fulse vanity has fallen, there is no camouflage about these pictures, they tell the truth. Still the Incurable human pride in good-looks will lead all on to that same careful fussing for photographs in years to come. “What fools we mortals be!” But after all’s said and done, there’s a moral to this tale, remember chil- dren. beauty is only skin deep.—J. K. THANKSGIVING For what are we thankful this year? Election is over! The Democrats with high hopes for bringing back prosperity have won! Hoover may be thankful that he has not to sufTer another four year stretch. Football season Is over, and we have fought a good fight. We may be thankful for the so- called depression as something to talk about! With Roosevelt at the wheel and the rest of us. Democrats or no, backing him. he is sure to win for which we may all be thankful. The prospects of facing a gloriously tempting turkey dinner on the day for thanksgiving may be dim. but with the hope of a cheerful uplook rather than a dismal outlook, we may be thankful that times are no worse than they are. Happiness is the greatest thing for which we may be thankful. By shar- ing with others and constantly winning over self, we gain a happiness, which all the glories of the earth, all the successful elections, all the triumphant football games, and all the Thanksgiving feasts may never bring us.—L. C. S. At this time we wish to thank the girls who contributed to the worthy cause fThe Mirror). We are sorry to have had you wait so long for it, but the pennies came In slowly. Go easy on it you dames. THANKSGIVING Gobble, gobble. gobble. gobble! Proud, haughty dignified lord of the barn yard the turkey gobbler struts his stuff. Unmindful of the fate that hangs over him, he’s all too confident. Or, who knows, proud of the glorified position he's about to fill, he awaits calmly a martyr’s death. Littlo time has he to ponder. Early morning sees the executioner, instrument of death in hand, stealth- ily biding his time in a dark corn- sprinkled corner waiting only u misstep of the gobbler to pounce. Turkey sees murder lurking in the shadows and wisely betakes himself to other regions for his morning constitutional. At length, patience exhaused and nose badly frost-nip- ped the huntsmau sets forth on hi� quest. But the noble gobbler anticipates his every move and flutters to cover. A rush this way. a rush that way. the mad scramble continues, the turkey Just in the lead. The mighty huntsman stubs his toe. sprawls flat recovers his feet but not his dignity. On goes the chase, vengeance spurs the hunter to valiant efforts. But. this tale ends as all tales do. the man steps on glassy ice. out slide his feet, out slide his hands and. be- gosh. they Just reach the tips of the turkey’s tall. Hand over hand In comes the very startled turkey and the man recovers from his most humiliating position. Then, once more the mighty huntsman, he bears the fowl In triumph to the guillotine. Down goes the axe, off rolls the head. Who said the thrill of huntine passed out with the wild turkeys? Back in Ye Good Old Days’ of sixteen hundred and something Miles Standish ordered out his little j thin clad army to make war on our' gobbler’s ancestors with horse pistols, but what of It! The thrill of a barnyard turkey hunt even without the added zest of redmen's arrows whizzing around to warm vour heels is not without its kick. Woe betide the modern Priscilly who denies her John Alden the glories of the chase by securing her gobbler via the A P. Would she kill the innate pride of the male? Come Thanksgiving morning Pris- cilla is up betimes warming the: � '� rkey hotter than ever In his life time. Old Ben Franklin wasn’t far off when he proposed the gobbler a fitting emblem for our United State � but 1 would take a personal affront If ho didn’t garland It with cran- berries. pumpkin pies and nicely browned yams. So. thus adorned, the emblematic fowl reaches the festal board. The world and his wife. Tom. Dick and Harry: and all their neace-lov- ing instructors, armed with knife, fork and spoon and ten fingers to perform prodigies of valor far Into the dusk. Giblets The fact that we all have our ad- mirers was proved recently when Jay Dykhou8e received one vote for president in the high school straw vote. Did you see the mighty senior riding the dignified faculty member home on his bicycle one night last week? (Mr. McCall and Douglas I«ake.) Somo enterprising promoter who wishes to remain unknown Is trying to promote a race across the high room between Ruth Strlngham and Gerald Garinger. An you mean to tell me that they take all those littlo letters an’ put ’em In a hot place an' melt? What do they do with ’em then?” Thus questioned Jackie Karreman and thus answered Mr. McCall dur- ing a rather heated discussion of where little letter-types of the print- ing office go after once being used. Jackie understands now that there is a Heaven. And what makes your smile so big? asked Bondle. The better to lure you my dear,” replied Jane Norris. However in this fairytale no woodcutter interceded and the wolf, with her smile, was successful. When Mr. Chapclle. in a Monday’s commercial law class, started to tell of a certain letter he wrote that morning, he was promptly re- minded by Agnes that he had told us the previous Thursday of his writing the same letter. Agnes was promptly told by Mr. Chapelle that sbe was to Sharpe.” Is the Super- intendent acquiring the forgetful trait of professors? Speaking tho truth (so help me Hannah) although for the many graying heads among the faculty there is but one grandparent. Don’t attempt a guess. Mrs. Mitchell in spite of her youthful gaiety holds this position. Her schoolgirl com- plexion? Perhaps it’s “Balmoliver Soap.” Miss Carland Is the bnby of the faculty. She is still In the twenties. Students! start saving your shek- els for a quarter. It Is rumored that the Charhian subscription sale Is to start in a week or two. QUESTION im: REVEALS INTERESTING RESULTS Gentlemen do not prefer blondes, neither do the ladles, or at least that is what many of our school think for both sexes apparently be- lieve that tho brunettes have it. A Questionnaire was circulated In one class of each of the four upper grades. There were several ques- tions on it and each student was asked to fill it out. The g'rls were almost unanimous In declaring their affection for those of the opposite sex who possess that dark swarthy complexion. The boys were not quite so much In unison in naming who is their de- sired one. but the brunettes receiv- ed their vote by a slight majority Anyway there should be no need for the girls to attempt to artificially change the color of their hair and complexion for there are enough boys who are fond of blondes or red heads to take care of those thus Inclined, but the boys who are not blessed by a dark countenance are Just out of luck. • he girls must also be feeling this era of depression” for thev said nix! when asked about “dutch dates.

Page 3 Interclass Sports Begin After Xmas Holidays Swartz an«l Barnhill Announce Plans; Give Opportunity To Students — According to Maebelle Swartz and Ccach Kenneth Barnhill, local in- structors of physical education, the interclass sports will start after Christmas. Due to the fact that the varsity basketball team Is using the gym each night no time can be had until after the celebrated holiday. As in previous years the girls basketball team will be picked from | the gym classes and they will play after school. Girls teams have created a great deal of interest in the last few years. The boys team will be composed of fellows who are not out for tho varsity teams and each team will represent their class. These sports are very popular in most schools because it gives the students who are not able to play on the varsity team a chance to play on at least one team. Ten games will be played by the boys team. Each team will have to play each other twice and many good battles are sure to be near.

Fifty scouts made up the group from Charlotte who attended the an- nual Boy Scout day at Ann Arbor which consisted of an invitation to one big football game. The game witnessed this year was a very close battle between the University of Chicago and the University of Mich- igan which ended in a 12-0 defeat for the Chicagoans.

Qf Former GmJs Mixer Committe Selects Harmony Kings’ Orchestra To the tune of the Harmony Kings, students of Charlotte high danepd for three hours Friday night. Nov. 18. Due to the fact that so many alum- ni and post graduates attended the previous mixers, thereby crowding out the more or less timid students from taking their steps to music, s new plan was tried out. The p’ ' was that only students could attend this mixer. At ten o’clock, the rest period Lorraine Ston . tap danced and a boys quartet sang several numbers. The gym was decorated in the Thanksgiving colors. brown am' gold. Novelties such as balloons, confetti, colored lights and the novel setting prepared for the orchestra i helped to make it one of the fines mixers of the year. The committee In charge of tb- decorations for the big event were Virene Elliott and Kathryn String- ham. Projects of various sorts on the early life of tree dwellers are being exhibited in Mrs. Kiplinger's room. These projects are made by the stu- dents of her World History classes. To name all these different things that are made in school would in- deed be an endless task so I will at- tempt to name a few such as ships, dolls, houses, maps and pictures. Each member of the World His- tory classes are required to make some sort of project and many in terestlng articles were the result One of the most curious of these was the soap carvings covered with cellophane. Mrs. Kiplinger stated that her class showed unusual ability and that the class judged as a whole was very much Interested In their work. In the meantime the World History class room continues to be a source of attraction to school visitors.

The two teams debated for a non- decision debate but members of Lan- sing Central affirmative team compli- mented the Charlotte Negative, com- posed of David Barnhart. Harold Fisher, and Remona Swan by telling them that they offered the best opposi- tion so far encountered this year. Th« other Charlotte team, composed of Harold Norris, Eleanor Toutant, and Douglas Lake, reported an interesting debate although both negative teams showed the best arguments. Mr. Stutzman. Charlotte coach, is a good friend of Earl McDonald, Lan- sing Central coach, and has engaged practice debates with him for several years.

This week was the last to sell coupon books. To maintain tradition and raise funds for the junior-senior banquet, th annual junior play entitled Laugh Clown is to have its openl g night tonight in the high school audi- torium. The scene of the play takes place in the Hurley mansion. The plot con- cerns a wealthy boy. Arthur Hurley, who returns home from abroad with a girl friend, only to find his former sweetheart there waiting for him; this brings on a serious complication. He also purchased a valuable Jewel while abroad and when he returns home loses it. According to the managers th gripping suspense, the roaring laughs and the infinite pathoes will keep the crowd on the edge of the seats from beginning to end. The cast is as follows: Mrs. Hurley.

Council Plans Drive For Toys To acquire many toys for the needy girls and boys. Is the hope of the student council as they start their annual Christmas drive. It has been a custom of the classes and clubs of Charlotte high to donate food and clothing other years. How- ever. this was done Thanksgiving and a plan to secure toys to brighte.i up the Christmas for the children is now under way. Mayor Cherry states that any toys contributed will be appreciated by the council. The toys do not necessarily have to be new. used and home made ones will be accepted. If evenings are dull, brighten them by glimpsing once again those familiar and friendly faces. The perfect memory book. The Charhian.

Rest of Journalism Class BASKETBALL Football season is over and we don’t have to worry about whether we'll be able to keep from freezing when viewing the gnme. while the basketball season is just around the corner. Basketball, being an inside sport, the spectators as well as the players can enjoy themselves while the cold wind is blowing the snow into high banks outside. While at the games we spectators will respect the players in that we will not boo if a misplay is made, because all of us do the same thing. Often honors are given to the wrong player but let's not let It happen this season. The players have several new rulings this year and our ruling should be to remember that we cannot win all the games, but we must always keep in mind that the players are doing their best because the game really means more to them than it does to us. —E. C. VALUE OK JOURNALISM To the average journalist, writing is just another subject in school, just another assignment to be handed in on time, yet to the one who is filled with the natural desire to write, journalism is an increasing delight to enable the student to put on paper that which he seems to know will be of interest to others. To the student, newspapers, which have formerly been regarded as just the paper which lies on one’s doorstep each night, are recognized as some- thing more interesting. The makeup of the headlines, the writing of editorials, and the attitude towurd the reporter, who is s.ldom heard of save In the movies, all bear a new interest to the reader. The work of the school paper, besides interpreting the life and activities of the schools, aims to develop a school spirit, serves as a method to maintain clean sportsmanship, and acquaints the community with the progress of the school. Although the majority of the class will not choose journalism as a life work, nevertheless, it tends to develop the desire in a few who later may choose it as a vocation while the others may better appreciate literary work because of their knowledge derived from high school Journalism. —L C. S. WE NEED YOUR HELP The depression has been deplored often enough in editorial columns. It is the black shadow that hangs over the head of every weary citizen. Many plans have been offered to ease this lack in business. But the most sensible and solid theory is that renovation must start with the individual. The Orange and Black has put much thought and effort into securing the best advertisements for its columns. No inferior service is advertised in this paper. Now it is the student's turn. Co-operution with concerns who advertise in the school paper will reap profits on all sides. If local people are patroniz- ed it will help the city, and consequently, the school. Therefore, it is the earnest plea of those whose hard work has gone into the making of this paper that the students show their support by heeding the slogan PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS. —J. K. UNHEEDED TALENT Have you ever noticed how rythmatically inclined some of our non- musical young hopefuls are, especially when we have a musical assembly, band practice, or when someone walks across the high room, ignorant of the fact (or so it seems� , that he is wearing heel-plates? Then these budding musi- cians put forth united effort in the art of heating time, (oh yes, it requires skill), and furthermore who said that students don't co-operate? They must imagine that the entertainer is unable to keep time, even though Mr. Dykhouse says he certainly would ask for help if he needed any. Or perhaps the orchestra or band leader, whichever the case may be. isn't aware of the musical talent of the group, in which case he will discover it be- fore the program is over. The next time there’s a possibility of displaying our musical ability by beating time, let's control our hands and feet, unless by personal request, we are asked to help our entertainer. —I. M. K. A TREASURE Some friendship wilt it (a hovel) lend you ‘gainst the tempest —Shake- speare. How many students ever think of this, that friends made today will help them to weather many a storm in the future? And how many realize what a wonderful opportunity they have to make frle: ds while they are in high school? Clicks are all very well, but why not try and have more friendships and not devote all of one's time to one or two individuals? A smile and a pleasant word always on hand are important factors in the popularity of people who are looked up to and admired. People do not like to be snubbed and do not care much for the person who ignores them. A friendly smile is good insurance against loneliness in the future.—D. C. GIBLETS It's lucky some of the boys have two sweaters so that one may be loaned to their best lady friend. Loaned? Almon Murray’s slogan, “Say it with results.’’ At present Kay Stringham has a weakness for Springport. Cheer up, Charlie, you aren't the first sucker! It is rumored that Toughy Darby, the woman hater, has at last fallen to a woman’s wiles. Latest reports are that Big Mouth Carter is—or is trying to—keep com- pany with a certain blonde post- graduate. What-a-Man Allen Is trying to make a big impression on Myrtle Day. Something new in love affairs! Mr. Dykhouse tells his in Dutch. Nice for those who can understand It all. Don't draw your conclusions too soon for it Isn’t as bad us it looks even if Agnes Farlin and Dorothy Smith did go to Chicago with twenty- two boys. It would be a tragedy if someone didn't have to throw his gum in the basket the first hour. Don't break the record! As a matter of fact this school isn’t so bad us a whole! We hear from the librarian that there are more Bibles than any other books stolen from the library! When Don Collins aBked Mar- guerite McGrath if she wished to ac- company him to Laugh Clown she promptly replied Oul! Upon which Donald C.. who before was just Don”, demanded What do you mean we? And she explained, O, U and I When Mr. Anderson asked what made the world go round and round the physics class suspicioned him of being in his cellar again. The fact that Hub told Chevie she was the eighth wonder of the world only aroused our curious minds as to what Evelyn's answer was. Un- doubtedly friend Hubert was Inform- ed not to be caught out with any of the other seven. That silk stockings were invented in Queen Elizabeth’s reign is a known fact but we all realize that they weren't discovered until nineteen hun- dred and fifteen. Mr. Dykhouse and Miss Stewart are w'hat they call intellectual op- posites. Miss Stewart is intellectual and Mr. Dykhouse is opposite. The Women’s Secret Society ad- vertised for a man of late. It was rumored he was wanted to keep the secrets. Clifton Kelley reported a strange sight to the author last week. He saw a girl who wasn't wearing a jumper”. We thought it was com- ing to that soon. The following bit of poetry (If It may be called such) was handed to the writer by our budding fanatic: I like to go riding with Kelly I mourn not the gas that I burn. She's far from an expert at necking But she's young and willing to learn. —Cecil Wheaton. JEST FER FUN Teacher, in Botany: What is a pepo? Vic” Spaniolo: Isn’t he one of the Marx brothers?

Harwood: Well, you needn't exact- ly be sorry about it. None of the other daddies got it right either. DEDICATION Twinkle twinkle little senior, How we wish that you were greener. Up above the world so high. Getting set to Jump and fly. As day gives way to darkness, and night to day again, as weeks absorb the days and months go slowly by. we think of you— Dear Seniors. Hours upon hours you have slaved over the preparation of your daily lessons, time and again your worries for future assignments have caused you to probe deeper into the secreta of your books of theory—and still, as if in a dream you have argued with your teacher on vital problems of the day. und as a result the school la graduating a perfect class. (Oh may- be oi.e or two have murks below B but it must be a mistake of some kind). Seniors'—We are proud to have such a group of fine young upstarts In our midst, and we will still be proud after you go. (No offense of course). As you have struggled these last three, four, five or six years we have come to know you most intimately by what you are ruthor than what you think you are. We have seen the somewhat modest, yet strict members of the faculty take you as a mere lump of clay and mold you. one by one. into singular masterpieces ( Lumps of clay ) We have seen them (the faculty of course) become drawn to the break- ing point in solving your most In- tricate problems. (Some that had been thought up thru mere curiosity). Time and again it has been the sen- iors who have come to the front, have shown remarkable talent and aggres- siveness, and have out-stared other players on our great nnd unheard of football teams of '30 and ’31. (Yes you may Include ’32 if you wish). But wait! The girls also deserve merits, for if there bus not been some terrible mistake made, the present senior girls were the ones who once entered the halls of this wonderful in- stitute of education in a manner de- serving of lowly eighth graders. (Help me Hanna if they find out who wrote this). And still, as before, we bow to you. As a fitting climax to the whole affair let It be said that the seniors of today are the citizens of tomorrow, and the citizens of tomorrow are already pay- ing taxes. (Something to look forward to). Twinkle twinkle little senior We have found that you were green- er. As you look back on Charlotte high. You close your books and give a sigh. SCHOOL DICTIONARY School—A combined prison and asylum.

Basketball Pre-Review As a fitting send off for tho new coach and subsequently now basket- ball team, against Hast Lansing, it might be interesting to review the last four years of practice. In 1928 Charlotte ragers showed their stuff by winning the conference championship. It was a close battle between Mar- shall and tho locals but fortunately ve ramn out nlioud March 13. 1932, with Charotte and Hastings tied for first place, Char- lotte lost and the championship went to Hastings. Tho ot'ponentn piled up 269 points to our 232. Charlotte broke even on the 1931 schedule, winning seven and losing seven games. That year tho whole first team graduated, leaving only Collins and Stevens as letter men. Lost year the cagers won five an lost six. while the results of the coming are still blank.

Each night Coach Barnhill goes to work with his thirty cagers, for basketball is certainly a popular sport with our dear boys. Even Vic , the Mahatma cf C. H. S. and famed publisher of the Orange und Black. Is seen nightly engaging his powerfully muscled limbs in the art of shooting baskets. There is no question but that sure- ly the fellows give much or their time and energy to the school. Each one of them practices night after night with the thoughts of getting on the first team, or at least making the second. For what fellow (vain or otherwise) is there who doesn't pic- ture himself on the field of battle, or rather on the gym floor, making a name for himself and being a cred to the school? To these boyH we give our sincere thanks, for what ir high school without a basketba' team, or vice-versa? At lea«t. while the basketball sea- son lasts, it Is something to hold our interest, and probably in years to come, it will still be the most popular sport of the winter season. News Classes Pass New Rule A new rule has been decided In the journalism classes. Newstories, as the students all know, have to be handed in every Monday morning or later with the editor's permis- sion. The rule is that not only as- signed stories are to be handed in for the Orange and Black but it is com- pelled for nil students to hand in stories, as it was reported that there has been a shortage in newstories.

Faded and robed in a mantel of dust a banner, pre- sumably orange and black, was res- cued from obscurity revealing one of the greatest athletic feats ever ac- i coinplished in Charlotte high school. The banner uncovers the high stand- : ards of Charlotte athletics in the I years gone by. In the year of nineteen hundred and I fourteen Eaton county witnessed their I first relay race. The starting point was eleven miles south of the court- house. Twenty-one gallant youths set forth clad in armour scarcely heavier than Gandhi’s original cos- tume. The object of these thin clad gentlemen was to run a relay race in fastest time possible. Clifford Mc- Intyre was to be in starting position and Harold Smith running anchor man. Mr. Smith is now’ in the coach-, ing profession in Ohio. The road was in fair condition.! enabling the men to set a record time of 56Vi minutes with an average of 2.34 1 11 minutes for each man. The race was sponsored by the Y. M. C A. and proved a novelty to both contes- tants and witnesses. Efforts are be- ing made to restore the banner to its origi: al appearance and it Is hoped it will appear in the building on the date of publication of this paper. Look for it.

Remona Swan sang a prosperity song and was dressed in a prosperity costume, Ellaine Leach played several numbers on her ac- cordion and Wilbur Fast sang u few songs to the accompaniment of his accordion. During the rest of the in- termission. the girls quartette and the junior orchestra sang and played a few numbers. Many favorable com- ments were made by the spectators on the intermission numbers. The contest between the girls and boys in the selling of tickets was won by the boys by a large majority ac- cording to Remona Swan, who was chairman of the ticket committee. The boys were duly feted to a party this week by the girls. The girls had to furnish the dinner and entertainment.

Girls 110 Boys 96 Lansing Man Talks to Members of Hi-Y Clubs Senior and Out-of-School Club Hold Joint Meeting to Hear Speaker Travel Club Visits Prison Mr. H. I-ee. a colored speaker from Lansing, gave the Hl-Y clubs a talk on the relations between the negroes and the whites, last Tuesday evening. Mr. Lee. who never went to high school in his life, has worked his way up to the position of a secretary In tlie governor’s office. Mr. Lee cornea from Savanah, Georgia. His first job was working in the Union News com- pany of that city. From there he went to South Carolina. Since leaving there he has traveled through 39 states. He came to Michigan in 1922. The negroes are not asking for favors, but for an equal chance with the white race Mr. Lee said “The whites and the blacks need to bo brought closer together. One thing that is the cause of the hard feelings between the two races is that too many children are being allowed to raise themselves.” This was a joint meeting of the senior and out-of-school Hi-Y groups. Mr. Lee was introduced by E. T. May of East Lansing. In order to accept the invitations to visit several Institutions the Charlotte Travel club journeyed to Jackson Saturday, Dec. 10. Twenty-five students, accompanied by Mrs. E. H. Chapelle. Mr. Jay Dyk- house. Miss Winifred Wells, and Mr. Jonathan Stutzman. went on the trip. At 9:30 the group reached Jackson State Prison. Mr. Hatch, assistant deputy warden, met and took them through the new prison. Many inter- esting activities were explained by the members. The next place they visited was the Jackson Citizen Patriot, where the group were shown all the details of getting the news, setting the type and the actual printing of the paper. After lunch Mr. DeWitt, assistant manager of the Hotel Hayes, led the club members through the entire hotel explaining how it functioned, and cost of living at a large hotel. At 2:16 the group was shown through Jackson’s new high school. The club hopes to take a similar trip through some other places early next spring. This evening's Mixer is to exceed all social events held so far this year,” declared Almon Murray, chairman of the Mixer committee. An excellent orchestra has been engaged and a good crowd is expected because of the fact that It Is to be a ’home-com- ing’ Mixer and all alumni are cordial- ly invited.” Mr. Murray has planned an exten- sive decorating scheme. A special program will add Interest to the oc- casion. Seniors are urged to attend as the school year is swiftly drawing to a close. The committee extends a special invitation to the eighth graders and freshmen who seem to be a trifle backward in attending and dancing. The Charhian campaign started last Wednesday and will conclude with I this week. The price of the annual is only fifty cents for the students. But , in order to receive the Charhian for this price one must be paying bis j nickel-a-week regularly. The nickel- a-week helps to finance the school publication and if this money is not received the cost of the annual will consequently be more. The price of the Charhian for those who are not paying the nickel-a-week or those who are out of school Is $1.20. Only 400 copies of the Charhian are being sold, , so If you have not ordered yours you • should do so at once. Charlotte Journalists Plan January Carnival CLASS TO GIVE YULE PROGRAM The Christmas spirit lias invaded the school. Everyone’s thoughts are on the holidays. To further the promotion of the right idea of Christmas, the Bible class has charge of the assembly to be presented Friday afternoon. The program has not been fully an- nounced as yet. Much secrecy Is evi- dent. However, Mrs. Kiplinger reports that Reverend Glenn Frye of Lansing will be the speaker. Reverend Frye has appeared in Charlotte before and was received enthusiastically. His subject, which he will choose himself, will correspond with the season. The remainder of the program has not been disclosed. But the impression is that it will consist of music by out- side talent. Under the supervision of a com- mittee chosen from the Journalism classes of Charlotte high school a car- nival for the purpose of financing the school’s publications will be put on Friday. Jan. 13. The committee members are: Mar- guerite Chevalier. lal Keefer, Clifton Kelley. Melvin Sundeen. Horace Dar- by. Almon Murray, and Victor Span- iola. Clifton Kelley will act as gen- eral chairman. The carnival is to have all the fea- tures of the typical carnival: blaring music, fishing pools, a crystal gazer, candy and popcorn stands, a freak show, a valley of horrors, a boxing match, and other features which are now being worked out. At a certain scheduled time the main attraction of the evening will be put on in the auditorium. The program here will take the form of a lent show with a play of journalistic background, short comic acts, musical selections, lap dancing, and other featured items.

My how the days roll by! Just think nineteen hundred and thirty-two years ago Jesus Christ was born in a manger in a little town called Bethlehem. Christ was not born to receive, but to give. He cured many many people of disease and only a few ever thank- ed him for his trouble. Yet this did not prevent him from giv- ing what he could even though he received no credit. His hard- ships would make ours look very small. He had to face people who were against him. When he was nailed to the Cross, re- member the words he uttered. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' This is the real kind of Christmas spirit we want. This Christmas promises to be a very hard one for many people. We cannot go out and cure people cf their diseases, but we cazi help in other ways. Perhaps we have an old coat or a pair of shoes around the house that we do not wear. If we give these to someone who really needs them we have helped to carry on the Christmas spirit. The looks of the clothing does not matter, if it is warm. It will help some poor person through the winter so give it to him. We do not realize the conditions In our own town, but organizations of charity do. and they will take the articles where they are most needed. This is a year when we should not expect to receive, but to give—for giving Is the true spirit of Christmas. Remember the Christmas slogan. Give until it helps. —M. L. S. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY In the last week or two papers have been circulated among the teachers bearing various criticisms of the student body as a whole. I ack of Respon- sibility Is the summarized term. Why is it that the floors of the building occasionally look as though there were holes in the roof, and the snow had come through? Literally, handful after handful of paper cut into small pieces is thrown on the floor. Have we any students in the school who are so nervous that they have to cut up paper to occupy their minds? Is the St. Vitus Dance so prevalent among the students that they can't keep their feet still when someone is walking across the highroom floor? A lot of the teachers would like to know the answers to these questions. Time spent in thinking up foolishness is time taken away from much needed lessons. It has been said, a golden minute lost can never be returned. Why not hoard up our golden minutes (at least through the depression), and plan to give the teachers and the Janitor a big surprise by making their work easier for them? It is our opinion that the janitor, at least, needs a rest—So let's give it to him. —H. R. FRANKLIN PRINDLE The policy of this paper is to give credit where credit is due. At tills time no student is more deserving of credit than Franklin Prin- dle. As chairman of the music committee for the Junior play, he organized and directed, without any assistance, the all junior orchestra, that gave such a capable account of itself before the play and between the acts. Franklin is a fine musician of many years experience. He was a member of the high school woodwind quartet which placed second In the state contest and sixth in the national contest in the spring of 1930. He is the oldest member of the present high school band and has play- ed six years in the Charlotte city band. H. B. D. BASKETBALL IN FI LL SWING With the football equipment safely stored in moth balls. Charlotte again turns their eyes to the basketball season. Several members of last year’s squad are in the starting ranks. Sundeen, Fisher, Kelley. Youngs, Day. Haines, and Sloan are the returning letter men. Charlotte played her opening game with Springport Wednesday, Dec. 14. and won a decided victory over the visiting team by a tremendous score of 70-17. Melvin Sundeen. Harold Fisher and Donald Smith starred for the home team. Sundeen was high point man with a total of 29 tallies. George Allen, a new recruit to the squad, played a fine game at center, enabling the team to ac- complish such an overwhelming score by his bang up game on defense. The high school played her first conference game with East Lansing and were severely beaten by the Trojans, although the home town boys showed a mark- ed improvement despite their defeat.

ECHOES FROM ‘LAUGH CLOWN' Before those chill creeps had stop- ped circulating up and down the spines of the Laugh Clown audi- ences, the inquiring reporter put in his appearance with the badge of h.s office, pencil and paper. The moving power behind the scenes (Mrs. Mitchell) was first in the line attacked. Well. I had to be sat- isfied with It. Evidently undue en- thusiasm is unseemly, until one gets box office reports. Actually teachers get an occasional ’kick' out of life. Mr. Dykhouse: T thought it was really good, in fact, I got suite a kick’ out of it (Then turning rebuking eyes on me) Have- n't heard any kicks, have you? Going back stage I bumped into Uncle Jake, congratulated him on his good acting, and asked his humble opinion. Yessah, says he. dey sho was fitted foh de parts. Roger Wilcox, president of the aug- ust seniors, had to admit. “Well, it’s better than the Junior play last year, even If 1 shouldn’t say so.” Bill (chief broom pusher and bell ringer): Yes sir, I think they did real well all the way through. And that Wilbur Fast has a voice that will make a future for him. Mr. Stutz- man (chiming in): He’ll make a good comedian. Tut, tut! Mr. Fast. Chimes from the Chapelle: Fine, line! I thought it was a very good play. In fact. I’ve heard many say they thought It was the best in many years. Harold Fisher, (general chairman of the play committee) said frankly, It’s a 'darn' good play. Hear ye! Hear ye Mr. Visch. Says Miss Wells. It was a relief to me to see a different arrangement of the stage setting, it certainly showed some Ingenuity. College-bred is sometimes a four year's loaf. W.

In order to decrease tuberculo:-1 fatalities and increase the fore s in the war on disease, the Michigan Tuberculosis Association has desig- nated the period from Thanksgiving till Christmas as one in which to sell Tuberculosis stamps. Tuberculosis takes most of its vic- tims between the age period of 15 to 40. Its conscripts are the very pick of the nation’s manhood and womanhood —young fathers, young mothers, high school boys and girls who are pathet- ically eager for life, and from whom the heritage of health is being ruth- lessly snatched away. For this reason the Michigan Tuber- culosis Association uses every avail- able penny to help students combat the menace known as The Great White Plague. Numerous branches of the society are working in different counties throughout the state. A local group has organized to i handle the sale of seals In this coun- ty. and have several cases which need attention. Best of all. result prove that the association is helping disease, for last year was the lowest for death I rate in tuberculosis cases. Holiday Specialties Candies - Fruits - Nuts Charlotte Fruit Co.

No Christ child is born, but the knowl- edge of that first Noel has come to make a great impression on our lives.

Crowds of people throng the streets and stores, all with the thought uppermost in their minds of making someone happy by giving, for the same motive backs the greeting. Merry Christmas. as the giving of an expensive gift. Christmas day! The family gathers around the festal board and the big feast is on. Certainly our forefathers could have fared no better than do we moderns. The Christmas tree is next in order. It seems to feel that Christmas Is here only for a short time but it bears a bold front, as It is disrobed of its gay tinsel and decorated parcel's, for isn’t Christmas the one time of year to think of others' happiness? Then as the shades of evening fall, intermingled with the fleecy snow drops, we all gather around a blazing fire and again there comes to our ears, as though the guardian angels of the Christ Child were floating near.

CLASS SPONSORS MANY ACTIVITIES The journalism class of the Char lotte high school has been very active in the school during the past year. One of the main undertakings of the class is the publication of the Orange and Black, the school paper. This year the Orange and Black Is be- ing published twice a month or a total of seventeen issues. The paper is written, composed, and edited entirely by the members of the class. The paper is headed by a staff composed of students who have charge of the paper. The paper is paid for by advertising and by a percent of the nickel a week. The journalism class also publishes two columns of school news in the city paper each week. This material is also written by members of the class and is in charge of an editor and assistant picked from the class. All of the publicity for the football and basketball games along with other eventa Is handled by the class. The class hopes to visit some large newspaper plant in the future but no definite plans have been made as yet. Class Ha � .'� 2 Members The members of the class are as fol- lows: David Barnhart.

Superstition tells us that date is unlucky, yet the High school journalists have shown their forthright modernity by an- i nouncing it as the date of their carni- val. A carnival in town is always cause for excitement, the rancorous shouts of the ballyhoo, the shrill music of the calliope, and the noise of the crowd. The smell of hot buttered popcorn is wafted on the breeze, gleaming bottles of ice cold pop tempt the eye as well as the throat. An authority from the ranks of the journalists states that this carnival, since it is being presented by such geniuses of showmanship, will be a masterpiece of its kind. Freak to Furnish Laughs At 7:30 on the eventful evening, the numerous side shows will open. The bathing beauties will parade their vo- luptuous charms—who can resist them? The freaks in all their physical distortion will be awaiting examina- tion. The fat lady, the human skele- ton. the wild man. and many more are members of this troop. Delightful gift trinkets will reward the hardy sportsman at the fish pond. Two pow- erful men of perfect physique will stage a boxing match, the battle of the century. (James of chance, all honest, will tempt those with the gambling urge and in a tent nearby the fortune teller, wrapped in mystery, who was born with a veil before his eyes, will as- tound his hearers by what he will re- veal to them. Do you believe in the , occult ? Do you believe in second sight? Do you have troubling problems you want solved? He will answer them! ( hnmher to Test Hardy Souls I ast hut not least, the chamber of horrors. This mad house of thrills will make the hair of the bravest football hero stand on end. Shivers and scares, hot breaths will fan the brow of those who enter here, and the chill blast from the cave of death and (Continued on Page 4, Column 1) Juniors Hold Class Frolic The junior girls furnished and serv- ed the food for the Junior class party held last Wednesday night in the do- mestic science room and gymnasium. The girls lost the recent selling con- test in connection with the Junior play and so were obliged to furnish the din- ner for the boys. The meals were served in the domes- tic science room at about 7:00. The menu consisted of ham. mashed pota- toes. cabbage salad, buttered rolls, baked beans, coffee, and fruit salad. After eating, the juniors danced in the gymnasium to the music furnish- ed by the school radio moved down there for that purpose. 18321533 Page • ORANGE BLACK Member) To Be Teacher’s Pet Resolve To THE ORANGE AND BLACK Published Bi-weekly by the Journalism Classes of Charlotte High School.

Who got so kind hearted. Mr. McCall, the school board, or did the Journalism classes have extra material? No. none of these. The reason is this: the Orange and Black is financed by its advertisers, the merchants of Charlotte. They pay 45c per inch for straight ads and 40c per inch for contracted ads. They are the ones to whom readers of the Orange and Black are indebted, for without their aid there would be no paper. Now. how are students to show their appreciation? First, by patroniz- ing our advertisers, and second, by taking the Orange and Black home so that their parents may enjoy It and also know at what stores they should do their purchasing. Then the advertisers will realize what a good invest- ment they have made and we. through their increased ads. will be able to have more of the larger editions.—D. C. —AND HAPPY NEW YEAR” The wheels of time have ground out another year. The annual holiday vacation is over and everybody is back to work—or at least thev should be. Some perhaps, are still In a daze thinking of Santa Claus, and well filled stockings. Of course, you made New Year's resolutions. Maybe one of them was. “resolved to get higher marks on my report card and not to have it look like the casualty list after a battle.” It Is conventional to make resolutions, but breaking them Is a habit. George Washington in his youth made resolutions every New Year, and tried his darndest to keep them, thus setting an example for all American youth to follow. We all have many things for which to make resolutions; for instance, getting in hook reports on time. I et us be just as ambitious in keeping our good resolves as we are in making them. I« t us give Father Time a run for his money and start the New Year right D. G. G. THE URYINC NEED Football teams and basketball teams are not made by the kind of suits they wear, judging from the condition the suits are in. but it goes a long way toward making the fellows who play on the teams really want to win. Did you ever notice the difference between the Charlotte teams and their opponents in the way of appearance? Other schools seem to have good equip- ment and their teams really look like teams. Good equipment inspires the fellows who play, therefore giving them a lot of confidence. Why can't we have a team that looks well on the field also? It is true that the Athletic Department is low on funds, but what school's Athletic Department isn’t? Many of the schools can not make ends meet during the year, but they at least spend some of what they receive on their athletic teams. In a recent basketball game with Springport. the local squad (as usual) had to appear on the floor without “sweat pants.” Yet Springport had them. Even little schools give their teams the necessary equipment. Why can't we do it? Charlotte is the only team in the Little Seven Conference that does not have these pants. Can’t something be done to get them?—M. L. S. I do hereby solemnly resolve not to skip school unless sick with spring fever; not to be late more than every other day unless the clock stops; not to chew gum except when the teach- er is looking the other way; if tempt- ed to take a snooze in lit. class never indulge in snoring, if musically In- clined only Join in on the chorus: to accompany high room pedestrians on my foot-a-stompaphone; to outlnw circulating laughing gas. tear gas. or synthetic rotten egg stinkum through- out the fine modern ventilating sys- tem of the old school as a means to gain extra chemistry credit or a “pull” with the teachers: never again throw a note clear across the high room until teacher will appreciate the fine and painstaking practice the feat represents, enough to give me a bet- ter break in the way of a little pub- licity; and. if after remembering to carry out all these resolutions (they should make me the teacher's pet) there’s any time left. I ll read my lessons occasionally, and last (but not least) I resolve to carry out the fore- going resolutions, and they go into effect not much later than New Year's and should not be repealed until more or less a week's trial, honest inpins, criss cross my heart, so help me Han- nah.

BIR THDA Y CONGRA TULA T ONS chewim; or Every year, during the Christmas vacation, the Janitors wash the window's, mop the floors and scrub the woodwork in an attempt to improve the appear- ance of that pile of sticks and mortor known as Charlotte high school. Each year several pounds of chewing gum is scraped off the floors. This is not only an unpleasant task in Itself, .but it takes a great deal of the janitor's time. After this, let’s throw our gum in the waste basket.—H. B. D. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jnn. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jnn. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan.

After a glorious vacation of one week all of the inmates trouped back to the prison to hear once more the beloved voice of the workhouse mas ter and his righthand man. All cells are crowded at the present time with inmates w'ho are sentenced from one to five years in Charlotte's work house. Terrible punishment has been in- flicted on the poor, innocent and Ig- norant slaves, such as: signing up for Churhlans, paying the nlckle-a-week. paying class dues, and to those who are ending their term of four years, having to buy such things ns invita- tions for people to come and watch them receive their pardon from the warden. Other horrible punishments are: book reports, term papers, and worst of all, the terrible test which few sur- vive. No one need commit a crime to be sentenced to this place, it Is a stage through w’hich every child must pass to fit himself for some duty in life. CORRIDOR CLASHES Jones- How did you come to fall in?

While at Hillsdale College lie won the Simp- son medal for ail round track man. He was also an honor student and won the Phi Delpha Kappa key, a high honor. FRIENDSHIP Am I blue, sighs some lonesome student. I haven't a friend In the world. Little does this student realize the true reason why he or she hasn't any. Students must remember that no matter who or what they are, out there in the crowd some where, some place, they have friends. But does the average student give people a chance to he friendly? They must do their part by getting out and having a good time, mingling with the crowd, and not shutting themselves up in a cocoon, and expecting friends to come to them. They’ve got to do their part. At every mixer one sees the benches crowded with fellows and girls who can’t dance, and because of this, they are ajone. Give them a helping hand, teach them the steps, show them a good time. Let us make this school one happy family.—Make friends. D. L. S.

MY CHOICE FOR CHARLOTTE HIGH SC HOOL ORANGE A BLACK FsgeS ALUMNI DEFEATS CHARLOTTE HIGH IN DOUBLE HEADER High School Staged Strong Comeback in Second Half To Display Fine Game Charlotte high took a decisive defeat from the fast Alumni squad Friday night. January 0. The preliminary game In-gan at 7:00 o’clock. Several old stars of the past three years were In the starting lineup. Warren. Shaw, and Carter played a tine game for the second atring Alumni. The game was very fast with several well executed plays. The high school second team were a little ragged In their passing attack and basket shoot lux although they showed n great deal of promise for the future The first team game began W’lth a bang. The former grad- uates took the hall and kept posses- sion of it throughout the entire first half The High school could not seem to settle down They were continu- ally threatened by the excellent shoot- ing and superb guarding displayed by the funner stars. The first half ended with the Alumni far in the lead, the High school eager came back in the second half and Stevens went in at and Witallty. Stevens went In at center and started the scoring with three buckets in succession. The var slty showed superb passing skill and sure had their eye on the old bucket. Sundeen was sinking them from all angles; he also displayed some excel- lent guarding. The Alumni seemed to have lost all their pep that was show- ed In first quarter, possibly due to poor condition, although they man- aged to keep in the lead by a small margin. The High school staged a spectacular comeback in the last half and handled the ball like veterans. Final score: Charlotte 22, Alumni 28. Club Discusses Debt Question ’’Resolved, That the United States should cancel all financial obligations due from the allies on account of the World War” was the question debat cd on at the debate club meeting Mon- day evening. Ramona Swan. Eleanor Toutant, and lone Pryor upheld the affirmative side while Victor Spanlola, Melvin Sundeen, and Robert Smith de- bated on the negative side. All members of the club have been working very actively on the same subject and have gathered some worth- while facts. Some members hav� written to Washington for material on the subject. The club has been very irtlve this year and has discussed some very important subjects such as tin soldiers bonus, income tax for Michigan, and other Important topics. They hope to discuss more before the end of the school term.

Second Team’s Final Spurt Proves Disastrous to Mason Charlotte and Mason played a fast and thrilling game at the Mason gym- nasium Friday, December 23, Mason winning 29-20. The Charlotte quintet shooting was very erratic while Ma- son’s was fairly adept at finding the hoop. The first half showed the teams to be very evenly matched, the score be- ing tied 6 to fi at the quarter and 16 to 14 at the half. Mason pulled ahead In the third quarter making nine points to two for Charlotte. The last quarter was characterized by wild passing and erratic shooting, each team making only two field goals Smith seemed to be the only one on the Charlotte team who was able to make the hoop at will, ringing the bell for eight points: Allen sank two. and Sundeen. Kelley. Haines uud Young , each making one. The Mason reserves piled up a sub- stantial lead in the first half only to see it wiped out in the last by the scrappy Charlotte reserves.

In order to pick an appropriate play, two boys and two girls are meet- ing to run over the parts in the oper- ettas from which their production will be chosen. As yet no definite plans concerning the set-up are known, but tryouts for the play will be held tomorrow night. Those not having leads will either be given chorus parts or help on various committees which will look after the stage and lighting set-ups as well as advertising. Big Carnival Promises Many Entertainments (Continued from Page 1) eternity will strike them cold again. At 9:15 in the high room the main show will begin. The features of this entertainment will be the crowning of the high school queen who will be elected on the ballots found elsewhere in this issue. A one act play entitled. The Shake Up”, will be given at this time. The actors in this short but stirring drama are famed for their capability and this performance promises to be one of their best. The characters are: Ira Beasley. Carrol Jones; Elmer. David Barnhart; and Reney. Jacqueline Kar- reman. A tumbling act by high school ath- letes will rival any ever seen before. One of the main features of the eve- ning will be the introduction of the newest organization in high school— The Harlan Bushwhackers —a dance orchestra consisting of many excellent musicians. Vic Span loin and Dave” Barn- hart will present a comic skit which will undoubtedly make many persons turn green with envy. An entertainment of this sort is something new in the high school, and Clifton Kelley, chairman of the car- nival committee, says he hopes it will be received enthusiastically, for much hard effort of preparation has been expended.

Mr Dykhouse said that in order that the rural students should not have to come to school early in the morning and hang around the building all day with nothing to do as well as nothing on their minds I ?), that school will be run according to the regular schedule. Farult) Member Voire Opinion . The examinations are to be given during the class periods and as many as the teachers see At to parcel out. He said that he thought the plan a good one because It would tend to ease up the tension as is always the case under the old iron rule: although he admitted that it would give the teach- ers extra work. The faculty as a whole doe not seem to be in favor of the new' ruling. Upon seeking their candid opinions the following state- ments were obtained: Mrs. Mitchell. Fine. O.K.” Miss Wells. Very defin- itely opposed because If the exams are given early to Have rush work, there shall be a period of time that there will not he anything to teach before the next semester’s new Hubject work begins.’ Mr McCall. Slightly op- posed. Mr. Duguld. You can put me down as being against It because the teachers will have a tendency to give a one hour test and let it go at that, and justice cannot be given in one class hour. The other members of the faculty choose to remain silent. The old saying is that, silence gives consent : but In this case which way the consent He remains a question. It has been said, however, that the student body in general probably favors the new plan, especially the rural students. Five Graduate This Semester Five seniors of C. H. S. will have acquired the number of credits neces- sary for graduation at the end of this semester, according to Principal Dyk- house. Those who will be eligible for grad- uation are: Ruth Stringham. Pearl Shuler. Beryl Bryan. Clyde Schlmmel and Marguerite McGrath. They have been popular students during their high school career.

January 13, is rather unusual for a high school class to put on, it was pronounced a success by members of the carnival committee. We owe the public a vote of thanks for their interest and co-operation which no doubt was indispensable. Every sideshow and also the main show went off smoothly as planned, although the attendance at several was very small. Financially it was a fair success. The profits amounted to a few dol- lars less than the senior play last year.—H. A. J. NEW SYSTEM I We have been led to lay the blame for America’s depressed feeling at the feet of the installment plan. And then appears a decree from the princi- pal’s office to the effect that this high school is to give it a tryout. What now. has the plan some hidden benefits? So it would seem, for applied to semester exams not horseless carriages, Mr. Dykhouso claims several improvements should result from the plan. No special days have been set aside for the final, exams being given in smal doses during class periods. Examinations can in this way be more inclusive and from the student’s point of view taking exams in sections should reduce the dread of tackling a quiz on four and a half solid months of Latin. algebra, or chemistry. One doesn’t have to bite ofT more than ho can chew ” The new system is also to benefit the rural population of the high school. It seems that formerly rural students had nothing better to do between exams than sit around twiddling their thumbs and trying to look wise. Under the new regime such things are not to be. Of course, granting the plan these benefits, it cannot be looked upon as a panacea for all mid-year ailments. Although glv«n in small doses this year, exams promise to be quite as deadly as before. The only antidote to being poisoned (flunked) is the opportunity of burning the midnight oil pouring over school tests. Make the best use of your opportunities.—H. H. B. (RAMMING For at least one whole week out of every year, high school students show the world that they have something on their minds outside of having a good time. Serious faced young men can be seen at most any time of day solemnly pouring over some refractory problem in algebra or chemistry while the less serious girls are found talking among themselves in subdued whispers or perhaps, becoming o« serious as the boys for once, may also be seen pursuing their studies with unwanted diligence. Books which have hardly lost their newness become old looking almost over night. Father's electric light bill doubles in one week, while the old “Flivver lays safely anchored in the family garage. But why all of this sudden seriousness on the part of usually gay youth? Has some strange malady suddenly broken out in the halls of the old high school? No. This is examination week. “Cramming” is now the order of the day.—G. J. ORGANIZED YELLING NEEDED What we need is organized yelling at football, basketball games, and track meets. We ought to have sections that are used for yelling. This group should be trained in yelling scientifically and do so at the right time. Many of the people do not know w’hen to cheer. Many colleges are trying this organized yelling scheme. The colleges have a part of the bleachers saved at football and basketball games for the cheering section. Much credit is to be given to the cheer leaders. The cheer leaders should have the confidence of the cheering section. The organized yelling will be more controllable.—J. N. F. STUDENTS. WATC H YOUR CONDUCT Students, watch your conduct. This quality plays an important part in the high standard of our school, and certainly every student should do his part to raise these standards. Students at all times should greet their classmates and the faculty courteously. Students should not whisper during study periods but should be considerate of the others. Things to be avoided are private conversa- tion. side remarks, impertinent comments on other students, and laughing at other remarks, especially during assemblies. Remember, they are doing it for your entertainment, and not just making fools of themselves. Boys should remember to render their little acts of services as gentle- men to the teachers and girls, as these deeds are appreciated more than you may realize: and girls should thank them for these courtesies. When stu- dents are in the halls, they should lower their voices and by all means walk and not run as it is a bad practice and causes much commotion. Students, control yourselves at all times and help in whatever way you can to keep the high standard of Charlotte High School.—N. C. A boom, a flash, clouds of smoke. Thus ended for naught the tedious labor of two would-be manufacturers of explosives. John Duguld and Horace Horae’’ Darby. Mr. Darby, desirous of creating something which might lend to the chambers of horrors of the journalism carnival secured the services of Mr. Duguid in preparing some of that sub- stance which Ib generally considered as a dangerous nature. The two chem- ists after several breath taking mo- ments finally had prepared a mixture which Mr. Duguld asserted should pass for some explosive. The mixture was then put In homogeneous piles and set in the stock room until after dinner to dry. Alas! These explos- ives w’ould never again see human eyes. At exactly 12:45 I� . M. a large boom and clouds of smoke were seen to is- sue from the vicinity of the chemistry laboratory. Persons were running about wildly, wondering what was happening to the old school but the two. now crestfallen would-be-chemists needed no one to tell them what was coming off or rather going ofT. Their entire supply of manufactured ex- plosives had gone up in smoke with- out accomplishing the desired purpose. Mr. Darby accounted for the acci- dent by saying that it was caused by the heat of contraction plus the tem- perature plus the altitude of the sub- «� ance. But anyway, something caused it. It is said that nothing was damaged in the explosion except the explosives and Horace is still lamenting over the sudden loss of his generous supply of explosives which he intended to use for a good cause at the carnival. Skivelings Mr. Dykhouse told Gerald Garinger to limit his speed to five miles an hour, henceforth, when he ventured across the high room. In physics class, recently. Mr. An- derson stated that those who took a mathematics course in college were far more intelligent than those who did otherwise. We would like to know how many InterdlM basketball games the senior boys have won. Ask the gallant captain of this year's football team what he thinks of blind dates. “Laugh and the teacher laughs with you. I.augh and you laugh alone. The first was a Joke by the teacher. The second was one of your own. (Chapelle’s Commercial Law Class.) “It’s a long alley that has no ash- cans. —Douglas I akc. Mr. Anderson has a theory that w’e only go to class sixteen days a year. Here is his theory: There are 365 days in a year. We sleep 8 hours a day or 125 days. There are 52 Sundays. There are 52 Saturdays. There are 84 days during summer vacation. There are 14 days during spring and Christmas vacations. There are 5 holidays. The school average is 10 days ab- sence per pupil. We average 10 assemblies a year per class. Add these all up and subtract the sum total from 365 days and you will have a remainder of 16 days a year that you attend class. NOT FOR REFERENCE Senior: “Don’t you file your nails? Junior: “No, 1 just cut ’em and throw them away. Recreation At last some intelligent person has discovered a way In w hich to keep everyone, from green freshman to dig- nifled seniors, at home nights. You can hardly say you don’t have to stay up late because it takes front one to three or more hours to put this new discovery together. Fellows even save. The girl friend declines going to a show but asks the fellow to come Just the same. They spend their precious moments together looking at the hundred of tiny pieces and deciding which goes where. Finally the whole puzzle is together and the evening nearing morning. Hurrah for the Jig-Saw Puzzle. WERE YOU THERE? Sound waves reverberated from the ancient and quaking walls of the high , school. The w’hole building quivered and shook with noise: the journalism carnival was in full swing. Barkers howled their attractions I through megaphones, each trying to out do the other. A gentleman in eve- ning clothes paraded the hall seeing that the revelry was at its height. Down In room 13% terrified fem- inine shrieks were heard. The girls received many bloodcurdling thrills when that able wild-man, Francis Bust, made dashes for them. Frnncis really showed genius in playing his part. He was the most realistic freak of the whole lot. and his queer grunts and cries terrified those who did not split their sides laughing. Nell Sweet as the fat woman receiv- ed much attention, her avoirdupois did not hinder her from carrying on flirtations with the boys in the show. The chamber of horrors lived up to Its name with the aid of a real skele- ton. a dead man. and a toboggan. The phosphorus on the walls was effective. It almost overcame the crowd with Its mell. Horace Darby drew the sight seers here with his wonderful ballv- hoo efforts. Ping-pong was very popular as was Bo-lo. but some disreputable character stole one of the boxes of candy used as prizes. Clifton Kelley, in high silk hat. was master of ceremonies and no descrip- tion could do justice to his gracious dignity. A budding musical star was discov- ered In Joe Frace. who led the Har- lem Bushwhackers’’ and charmed the : ladles with his singing voice. After the entertaining, vaudeville in the high room, during which Ruth Stringham was crowned queen, every- one went home happy. Thirsty? Step Up Now that some of the seniors are ! leaving C. H. S. this February we wonder if it will be with smiles or with tears. The seniors, having had C. H. 8. for a home the past four years, are about ready to be shoved out of the nest. It seems queer that four years j could make so much difference in ! things, ideas, looks, dreams, hopes and j friends. They all have changed and will probably go on changing. The seniors will find it hard to for- get the dishpans in the halls, which I would not be needed if it did not rain or If the radiators didn’t leak. Senior girls will remember the days when they were forced to go without a mir- ror because of the depression. Our graduates will be scattered over the whole globe—it will never be the same again, new seniors will take the graduates places but there will al- ways be a warm glow in the hearts of those as they look back on C. H. S. Now that exams are at their fullest height, the seniors think it’s hard to leave C. H. 8. but harder to stay. Seniors, now is your chance; it’s the finish that counts. ORANGE A BLACK Pare 3. Island City Five Downs CLUB TO REVIEW Charlotte Quintet 28-11 TOPICS DEB A TED In h game which was easily Eaton Rapids’ from the beginning, the Char- lotte Orioles were defeated by the scrappy Island City cagers Friday Bight at Eaton Rapids. The Eaton Rapids team started clicking with the starting whistle, nnd within four minutes had run the bell for six points. The score for the first quarter wan 8 1. Fisher making Char- lotte's only point. With a strong offense and a stronger defense, the Islanders more than proved their ability to maintain the lend over their age-old rivals. Charlotte was entirely off their game and were absolutely unable to find the loop. Haines, substituting for Fisher «Ii� was put out on fouls in the sec- ond quarter, made Charlotte’s onjy field goal of the first half. The count at the half was Eaton Rapids 15. Char- lotte 4. The last half found the Orioles BOBMWhat more accurate in their •hooting but unable to check the ad vance of the Maroon and Gray. Fra- iler and Paquette of Eaton Rapids both went out on fouls in the last quarter of the game but too late for any good to Charlotte. The flnul •core was 28-11. The second teams were much more evenly matched, being tied 12-12. Charlotte FG FT TP Fisher f 0 1 1 Smith f 2 1 5 Allen c 0 0 0 Sloan g 0 0 0 Sundeen g 1 1 3!

January 18. Plans are being made for the reorgan- ization of the club and possibly a trip will be taken north unless financial difficulties arise. C club feeds have been a function of considerable standing and efforts are being made to restore the club :o its original position in school activ- ities. Tho club is purely an honorary organization composed of fellows who have received varsity letters on some of our athletic teams. A great deal of interest was shown ■ at the feed Tuesday night, although there were no casualties resulting from over eating. After supper every- one adjourned to the gymnasium for a fast game of volleyball. An affirmative team of those girls debating the statement, “Resolved: that the United States should cancel all financial obligations due from the governments of the Allies on account of the World War.” won a three to two decision against the boys negative team at the January 17 meeting. The by-monthly meeting has been temporarily changed from Tuesday to Monday evenings. At the next meet- ing on Monday night a review will be r� ade of the three subjects debated this semester: Adoption of a state in- come tax. payment of the soldiers’ bonus, cancellation of war debts. As the next debating statement the club has decided on “Government con- trol of industry. This topic will In- volve the much discussed “technoc- racy plan advanced as a cure to the depression.

The sophomores, though having the stronger team, failed to show any team work. Resorting to short snappy passes the Juniors led their opponents throughout the game. These victories put the Juniors at the head of the list with the sopho- mores second. The seniors hold third place and the freshmen are at the bot- tom of the list.

Quite a few fouls were commit- ted by both teams. Ewert led Grand Ledge with six. During the first quarter, attacks of wildness made the game uninteresting.

Troop 45 is holding a banquet on February 1. On the following Sunday. February 5. the Scouts will attend church in a body. Another hike is be- ing planned but a definite date has not yet been decided upon. A basketball team is being planned. Mr. Duguid's troop. 46. went on a hike to Terrill's woods on January 14. They prepared their lunch over an open fire. The meal consisted of hunter’s stew, pancakes, and cocoa. Mr. Duguid pronounced the hike a success. Lawrence Kane and Robert Bryan have been appointed to organize a basketball team to compete in the coming tournament. Band Prepares Annual Concert In preparation for a benefit concert, the band members are now working on several new numbers. This concert will be held in the Methodist church and for the sole purpose of charity. The baud Is split into groups, such as the cornet section, clarinet section and saxophone section. These groups meet once a week for special practice. This is helpful. says Mr. Anderson, because each band member plavs his part. At the beginning of next semester Mr. Anderson will organize new classes of beginners band. All who are interested are urged to see Mr. Anderson, who will arrange to secure instruments for those interested in band work. SEVERAL TEACHERS TAKE PART IN PLAY SCOUTS SPONSOR CHICKEN SUPPER JOINT GLEE CLUBS PICK ‘MISS CHERRY BLOSSOM' AS PLAY (Continued from page J.) about John’s attempts to outwit Koke- mo and Togo. The plot of the play and its scene of action is very different than any pre- sented here before. Martha Ransom, who leads the female character, says. I think the plot is very good. If everyone acts to the best of his abil- ity it will be a success. The cast of characters is as follows: Miss Cherry Blossom, brought up by Kokemo but really Evelyn Barnes, an American girl. Martha Ransom: Jessi- ca Vanderpool. Worthington’s niece. Lillian Secore: John Smith, on visit from New York with Worthington, Robert Smith: Harry Jones. Jack’s pal. in love with Jessica, Donald New- land: Kokemo. the comical proprietor of a tea room in Tokyo. Russell Cher- ry; Togo, a Japanese politician of high rank, Russell Sparks: Worthing- ton. New York stock broker in Japan on his private yacht. Duane Tuckey; James Young. Worthington's secre- tary. Robert Stine. The cast was chosen from a large number of con- testants for the parts so that Miss Brown had much available material from which she could pick the best. Selected Orchestra to Play. A new feature of this year’s oper- etta is the group of eight Geisha girls who are Japanese girls who sing and dance in public. TTiere are two dis- tinct choruses to entertain also, one in the first act and the other in the second and third acts. Miss Brown has selected eleven of h r most accomplished orchestra mem- bers to form the smaller orchestra which will furnish the accompaniment for the vocal solos and chorus work. Saturday. January 28. the Girl Scouts are having a fried chicken sup- per at the Congregational church. The supper starts at six-thirty and con- tinues until all are served. The menu is chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, biscuits, carrots and peas, cabbage salad, coffee and a dessert. Mr. and Mrs. Thoman are furnish- ing the supper for the material for the pancakes for the Girl Scout move- ment. The profits received from this will go into the bank for the use of getting new equipment for the troop and camp fund. At the weekly meeting. Friday. Jan- uary 13. the two patrol leaders and Captain Dewey met after the regular meeting and discussed plans which they decided to bring up to the rest of the Scouts during the business meeting. A short business meeting Is held every week and then the two patrols go to their own rooms to work on their badges and tenderfoot tests. I There are ten girls who are studying for the test which can be taken as soon I as they are ready. The girls in the older patrol are beginning on the sec- ond class scout work. Plans for a Valentine party were discussed at the last meeting. Several republican teachers left their roles as education instructors, to take part in the democratic inaugura- tion of the thirty-second President of the United States. Our rapid-talking. joke-cracking superintendent took the part of the famous radio announcer. Graham Mc- Namee. Mr. Chapelle filled this part very well as he gets plenty of exercise in the high school. A new department was added to the cabinet of the president, to which Mrs. Myrna Denison was elected. It was. of course, the Secretary of Education. Those who heard her will appreciate her intentions to do more for the pub- lic schools than has ever been done be- I fore. Our famous World War Veteran broke down in the last minute and consented to be a Hun! Mr. Dyk- house. who was chosen as the German Ambassador, was a great warrior. He fought side by side with Caesar, he won battles with Napoleon. Oh! He’s a great “Man. Did anyone ever see Mr. McCall with a monocle? Well, he has one! He represented the Ehiglish Ambassador, and if anyone ever saw a better George Arliss, let me know at once!! Mrs. Kiplinger was at the height of her glory when she portrayed Mrs. Herbert Hoover. HI- Y MEMBERS TO HOLD FEED Members of the HI-Y met a week ago last Wednesday for the purpose of taking In a new member, namely Robert Bryan, and to appoint a feed committee for the next meeting. Charles Baum and Italic Lauritzen were selected for the committee. According to Duane Tucky. presi- dent of the club, the conferences are interesting and very beneficial to all. For this reason the HI-Y will try to send some members to the conference in March if enough money can be ob- tained. After the business was finished the boys retired to the gymnasium where they played basketball and volleyball. The members also decided to organize a basketball team to compete with other teams in the city. Hi-Y boys will give their annual play this year February 11. The name of the play is The Hut by Fannie Liusky. It is a comedy in three acts. Orange and Black. Dearborn High School.

Committees are industriously labor- ing to gather the necessary materials required for background scenery, cos- tumes. posters, etc. Already the effect of talking and acting together is promoting friend Her glances on the part of Martha Ransom and Robert Smith, but who knows whether or not the operetta has brought these smiles about. Jig-saw puzzles are the present at- traction while members of the cast are awaiting their cue to march onto the platform. “Almost as much fun is derived from these puzzles , says Duane Tuckey. as there comes from watching the suppressed giggles of the supposedly dramatic actors as Don Sparks and Lillian Secore when they attempt melodramatic roles. Perhaps part of this laughter comes from the trying task of acting with the bonks getting in the way. Although Russell Cherry and Marthn Ransom try seriously to act their parts, the Jokes are so immensely funny that they bring about a smile on the part of Miss Brown, who has to struggle to refrain from joining in a merry outburst as well as on the part of the actors. Serious concern gathers on the faces of Robert Smith and Donald N'ewland. the ardent and handsome (?) lovers, who want what they want and Intend to get it while they realize that parts must be learned as well as the songs and love scenes. Robert Stine, the serious secretary, seems to be getting a great kick out of the embarrassing grins of the lovers who are cautioned not to laugh by Miss Brown. FEBRUARY MARKS BIRTHDAYS OF FAMOUS AMERICAN STATESMEN February may well be called the month of great Americans. In It are the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, our two greatest statesmen and presidents. Both have been called super-men and not un- justly. Washington's outstanding military genius held the struggling colonists together through the difficult days of the Revolutionary war. Acting as chair- man of the constitutional conveution. he guided the best intellects of the early United States in framing the constitution which is the oldest written constitution in existence. He then became our first president and by the precedents which he inaugur- tlon for our successful ington assumed leader- est insecurity and stacles on the road ton's birth in aria- may be said to several steps TRA VELERS HEAR POST GRADU A TE ated did much to lay a founda- 'lllii'inlF government.

January 30, the de- bate club met for their first meeting of the second semester. For the last three or four weeks the club has been discussing and de- bating on the subjects, Government Control of Industry. and technoc- racy. At the next meeting the club will give impromptu speeches on these subjects. So far the club has only given two out-of-town debates, but more are planned for in the future. Last Monday the travel club held a business meeting and after the meet- ing Melvin Brown, post-graduate of C. H. S., told of his tour to Isle Royale. The group that went to Isle Royale started August 9, from Lansing. They went by land across the Straits to Chassell, from this point they took a small fishing tug, forty feet in length, to SlHkowit Bay whore they boarded another boat. There were twelve members in this party, eleven men and one woman. Melvin brought few illustrations and showed the club a navigators map to point out the important cities; ho also brought the cup which the De- troit Free Press presented him for catching the largest bass on an arti- ficial minnow. The tour lasted nine days. Mr. Brown related one trip ns the Paul Revere ride which lasted 24 hours exactly. Charlotte High Present 2nd Exchange Program Last Friday morning, a group of Charlotte students Journeyed to Ea- ton Rapids to present an exchange assembly as Is the yearly custom. The high school orchestra under the direction of Miss Dorothy Brown opened the program with the Poet and Peasant overture. Loraine Stone, local school tap dancer, gave two num- bers. Franklin Prindle. accompanied by William Cox. responded to an en- core after his solo. Wilbur Fast pre- sented several lively numbers on his accordion. The boys quartet sang a group of numbers and the orchestra closed the program with another se- lection. Miss Gertude Oberle. head of the Ea- ton Rapids student council, acted as chairman in the absence of Ruth Stringham. CN THE WAY February 14—Mason here, both teams. It's our turn to win team.

STUDENT COUNCIL SHOWS PRIDE FOR EVENTFUL YEAR Purchases Platform for Mixer, Council Promises New Exchanges So far this year not much has been heard of the Student Council of Char- lotte high except for the few an- nouncements placed on the bulletin board. Through a recent Interview with Mayor Cherry the following facta have been found: Petition for the sale of candy in the halls have not all been turned In. Any class or club is eligible to hand one in. A new platform for the orchestra was purchased by the council. It is 9x12 feet and will hold a nine piece orchestra. It was used at the last Mixer and seemed to help the music carry. Mayor Cherry states that from all reports it was the best Mixer that has been put on this year. David Barnhart, the candy sales manager, has proved to be very effi- cient at his post, and does his work in fine shape So far the depression has not hit the candy sales, but about 20% of the pupils do not pay their nickle a week. The lost and found department has been functioning very well under the hand of Ial Keefer. The date for the next Mixer has been set for March 10. Mayor Cherry has corresponded with several other student councils in other schools and finds that ours is near the top. We have co-operated fine and get along in wonderful con- dition, he states. For the benefit of the pupils he has given the names of the aldermen to be published. They are as follows: Sen- iors. Duane Tuckey and Myrtle Day; Juniors. Edith Dickenson and Wilbur Fast; Sophomores, Max Gee and De- lores Bouska; Freshmen: Bill Cheney and Douglas Cameron; 8A. Jimmy Bill Frace and Denzel Dernier. Honor Society Have Try-Outs In order that the following people, Jacqueline Karreman. Janet Murray, Helen Robinson, and Douglas Lake of the journalism classes may become members of the Quill and Scroll, some material written by them will be sent in to the international secretary- treasurer for their approval.

Before every school building is a high flag pole surmounted by a flag waving in the breeze. In every school building are several flags to inspire the youth of today. In neurly every room of our schools hang flags which have given many years of service. They have become wrinkled, the while stars and stripes are soiled, the blue back field and the red stripes show several layers of dust. Truly they present a forlorn object. Let us show our patriotism and love of flag by giving them a thorough cleaning and pressing. A. S. M. SETS BACK STAGE REVIEW TALENT Very valuable bits of life history of those who have contributed to the star production of the high school may bo found “back stage” on the sets, or doors and walls. Many have graduated and have gone on to write their names in the halls of fam —if the chance presents itself but their names remain. Most every actor and actress who has contributed to the cast of a play, hippodrome, musi- cal comedy, or any activity that rea- lizes a set of stage scenery and some besides has left his name written boldly on the back of that set that was put up for their performance. Some go as far as to try their hand at sketching themselves as they looked at the time of their performance. Sometimes an «ighth or ninth grad- er has a chanc • to write his name on the back stage to be remembered for that play, and then discovers his married sister's name on there from many years back. The sets ought t.i get filled up It seems but there will still be room for this year's operetta and many more such ones. “Always room for one; more, even on buck stage. CRITICIZING THE REFEREE Have you ever noticed the hollering at any of our home basket ball games? Have you ever noticed any hollering at an out-of-town game'.' Not likely. Criticizing the referee is certainly a showing of lack of sportsmanship. The referee is there to do his best and criticizing him surely will not help him any. Besides it gives our competitors a bad opinion of the students, faculty and school. If you think that the referee called an unjust decision you want to re- member that he is doing the best he can do and is only calling it as he sacs it. It is easy to be good winners but let's show our rivals that we can also be good losers. If necessary.—M. L. R. THIS. THAT AND THE OTHER The students of this high school should feel flattered that they are re- ceiving their Juicy kernels of knowledge in one of the oldest buildings in the city of Charlotte. It is even older than the court house. According to Mr. E. H. Chapelle the old part of the school was built in the late seventies or about 55 years ago. No wonder we feel it shiver when the wind blows. The following miscellaneous facta were dug up out of the dust of time and brought forth for our enlightenment: The bell in the tower has rung for fifty years. If you listen closely you may hear its little song Janitors may come and janitors may go. but I ring on forever. In the high room every picture is a scene of ruins. I ook and see for yourself. The high room electric clock has tediously ticked off the minutes night and day for eighteen years. By actual count there are fifty-five broken windows in the building. Even at the actual cost of fifty cents each the total cost of replacing them is $27.50. enough money to bankrupt the treasury of most of the school clubs. The Janitor asserts that flying stones propelled by some mysterious force is the cause of most of the breakage. The teacher that has been the longest in the high school service Is Mrs. Frances Wildern. harkening back to pre-war days about eighteen years ago. After all Is said and done It seems we have quite enough materia) to form the nucleus of a museum with promising possibilities.—D. O. G. OH, THOSE FICTI’RES Just a bunch of ruins! Well, Isn't It? Just take a look at this school and those pictures on the high room wall. What a beautiful lot those pictures seem to be. Take those three along the west side, no, they're not what's left of our school but the famous ruins in Rome. On the south side is another bunch of stones and across from it is one that can't be figured out unless it's studied from close range. Abe and Daniel have the east side all to them- selves except from one that could be a typical love scene, but isn't. Why don't we have something a little more cheerful, something that’s enjoyable to look at when studying is tiresome. They certainly are nice pictures but let’s take them down and put new ones in their places or give them some company by hanging others along with them.—N. A. L. OUR DICTIONARY To look at the dictionary one would think that the students of Charlotte high were industrious or that the depression had hit the school board hard. From the number of thumb marks and dog ears” the dictionary had. one would think it was in constant use. For a matter of fact it is peldom used more than twice a day. This year it has been fastened on a board so the stronger students can't heave it across the high room. They say the depression is going to last a few more days so let's be care- ful or the high room will soon be without a dictionary.—D. R. S. GOOD ADVICE By Ion Holdrldge I Just a little laughter to help one on life's way. Just a little freedom for what you're bound to say: Just a little cheerfulness to brighten after while: Just a comrade’s helpfulness to short-1 en up the mile. II When you're deep in troubles and the world seems cold and gray. When you’re always working and there seems no time for play: Just a little song to sing will brighten up your life. Just n little music to the lilt of drum and fife. Ill When you're coldly treated by your fellowmcn. And you're bound to lose when your chance is one in ten: Just take a breath and toss your head and have another try: Just n little harder, you'll be winning by and by. GREAT OAKS FROM ACORNS SPRING One day while Gerald Garlnger’s father was teaching school in Trav- erse City, a nervouK young book agent approached him and finally succeed- ed in selling a set of books. That was 26 years ago. The years rolled by. years of plenty, years of war and years of peace, and the next time these two men met was ; last spring in the Methodist church. That young book agent, now 26 years ; older, grayer nnd balder, is at present known to the community as Super- intendent E. H. Chapelle. Make I'p Your Own Teacher: James, give me three collective nouns. James: Fly paper, waste basket and garbage can.

I asked the cow: Why don’t you kick The man who whips you with a stick?” Alas. I must be lashed. said she. So I can give whipped cream, you see! ST. VALENTINES Custom and tradition have been handed down. The custom since Chaucer’s day has been for young men and young women to place their names in a box and on St. Valentines eve draws out these names in pairs. Those whose names were drawn out together exchanged presents and were valentines for the ensuing year. Times have changed this custom somewhat for now the boys are the ones who make the presents. The names of the people drawn out were to be valentines for u whole 365 days. .Some maybe but not all because of the heart breakers in this modern generation. ‘Enjoy Walking’ Says Junior Girl It is considered a hardship to walk five miles a day to attend school, but Mary Smrchek does It for the enjoy- ment she receives from walking. She lives two and one-half miles from town and walks to and from school each day. making a five mile walk. Mary is a junior. The first two years und seven weeks of this year she stayed in town. Mary decided it was better to walk and that is what she is doing. During the time she has been walking she has not been absent or tardy. This shows what an educa- tion means to her. Att.r she has graduated she will have a record to show that she want- ed an education and got it. The only statement Mary made was: I enjoy walking. WHY WORRY There are two things to worry about. Either you are prosperous or you are not. If you are prosperous there is noth- : ing to worry about. Either you are healthy or you are not. If you are healthy there's nothing to worry about. If you are not healthy there are two things to worry about. Either you get well, or you die. , If you get well, there Is nothing to i worry about.

JUNIORS DEFEA T SOPHOMORES 9-7 Interest in the interclass basket ball games seems to be increasing as the second semester begins with the juniors holding first place and the sophomores running a close second. In the first meeting of these two teams the class of '34 defeated the class of 35 in u defensive battle by 9 to 7. A basket made from near the foul line by Overmeyer In the last few seconds of play provided the margin for victory. The freshmen after being battered for four games without a victory promise to give more opposition this semester as they are gaining exper- ience rapidly. The seniors In recent years seem- ed to have a monopoly on the inter- class championship but this year the teams are more evenly matched and much more interest is being shown in the games. The championship this year seems to lie between the juniors and sopho- mores and unless the class of '36 and the seniors pull a few upsets, the juniors and sophomores will be battl- ing It out for the high honor. Standings: W L PCT Juniors 4 0 1000 Sophomores 3 1 750 Seniors 1 3 250 Freshmen 0 4 000 Boy Adelman’s forceful love making on the stage last Thursday was no- where near as skillful as that he em- ploys regularly (This statement ap- proved by several junior girls).

Present History of Former Grads HASTINGS QUINTET TRIMS CHARLOTTE Charlotte Five Bows Under Scoring Rampage of Clever Opponents The Mi h school took a double trim-' ming from the clever Hastings five Friday. January 27. ThP second team came began at 7:00 oVioeV h rn Although the game turned out disastrous for the Char- lotte reserve , thev displayed a fine game of ball. The game proved very fast and at times a little rough. The final score weg 9-21 in favor of the Hastings Maulers. The varsitv enme was equally ns fast as the nrec dlne game and equal ly as rough The Charlotte nuinte? had an off night on shooting. Several of their shots at the basket would not stay in. The Hastings dub proved fast and trickv and certainlv had their eye on the hoon. The high schools began their last half of the schedule with several new men in the line-up. Hu- bert Stevens of last year’s team will be in the starting ranks. Stevens is a fine hall handler and an excellent shot, it Is believed he will work at center position in Allen’s postlon. Al-' len and Haines were ruled ineligible at he end of the first semester. Both were good men and will be missed from the squad. The varsity squad looked good in practice and ought to prove a threat to the Howell five. Charlotte and Howell are at the bot- tom of the conference. Final score, 18-29. Pt .

Boys Society Hold Banquet Accident Occurs Near Eaton Rapids Speeding toward Eaton Rapids to present a good will program ' Bill” Tullis, local student, was unable to make a sharp curve, lost control of his car which skidded into a ditch and crashed on Its side. Members of the party were William Tullis. Clifton Kelley. Donalda Davids. Ruth Stringham. Margaret Phillips, and Roy Adelman. Adelman and Phillips escaped without Injury. How- ever Donalda Davids and Ruth String- ham suffered wrenched backs: BUI” Tullis received a terrific bump on his head, and Clifton Kelley received lac- erations on the hands. Members of the car following picked up the scattered victims and removed them to the Eaton Rapids hospital about two miles distant from the scene of the accident. Notwithstanding the fact that sev- eral members of the play which was to be given were momentarily indis- posed. the program continued as an- nounced. Now they have developed a paint for the gums to make them match the lipstick of the girl who smiles, and if she laughed outslght we suppose she would have to paint her tonsils. Hi-Y members held a banquet in the domestic science room last Wednes- day noon. The food committee was Charles Spice and Harold Fisher. Mr. May gave a talk on What does it mean to be a Christian citizen.” He also told about the boys conference that will be held at Howell. March 10 and 11.

According to the office there are eighteen of the senior's fathers who are unemployed which is a splendid record considering the number who do have jobs and the stress of the times. Forty-seven have occupations other than farming. Sister Valedictorian Another Interesting lact Is that three years ago Barbara Wilcox, sis- ter of Roger Wilcox, the present vale- dictorian. was also valedictorian of her class In 1930 and his sister Ruth who graduated the same time as Bar- bara was fourth from the top in the list of the upper ten. thus setting a family record that has been excelled but by few others.

The game was hotly contested throughout the first three periods with the score changing hands many limes. The last period the game was all Charlotte’s with the Orange and Black squad pulling oat in front to a comfortable lead. After the local learn got a taste of victory there was nothing that could stop them. Score C lose First Half The first quarter ended with the score 6-4 in favor of Charlotte. Eaton Rapids immediately came back the second period with two buckets to take the lead 8-6. Youngs, right guard for Charlotte, made a nice fol- low-in shot to tie the score at 8-8.

After these bas- kets Charlotte never relinquished the lead. The last quarter Charlotte proved themselves the better team by delib- erate passing and good shooting that put them in a comfortable lead. In this quarter Smith and Stevens put on a clever bit of shooting which pro- vided the victory. Every member of the Orange and Rlack squad played a brand of ball he could feel proud of.

Isn't it true that they are the first to come into our mind when we are asked who our greatest heroes were? There is no need of going Into detail about the lives of either Lincoln or Washington, for we have heard about them ever since we were old enough to understand anything. We know Washington was born of a rich family, first president of the United State , and never told a lie. Lincoln was born of poor parents, and freed the slaves. These men tackled the most difficult problems and were successful in them. Lives of these and other great men are incentives to people to forge ahead and leave footprints on the sands of time. —R. L.

There seems to be a certain feeling among some of the students regarding the bunch of ruins , as they express it. gracing the walls of our beloved high room. From all that has been said it looks as though the school board should take immediate action to remove any annoying sights which might cause chagrin on the part of the students. It appears, however, that the students who make rash statements against such masterpieces are only broadcasting their ignorance and inability to appreciate the finer things found all about us. It’s true that new things always create interest but the new’ always has the same process to go through before it will stand the test of time as the pictures the school now possess have done.

It Ik expected that thero will be a reading, musical numbers, and a play. Journalists Hold Initiation Rites Initiation for four new members of the Quill and Scroll, an International honorary society of journalists, was held last Monday evening during a banquet of members of the journalism class and alumni organization. As special feature. Mr. Earl Mc- Grath ga i talk on the various and interesting phases of newspaper work. He also gave the life story of a now prominent feature story writer who went to school in Charlotte. Jacqueline Karreman, Janet Mur- ray. Helen Robinson, and Douglas Lake, all members of the sixth hour Journalism class, were the four re- ceived into membership of the Quill and Scroll. Mr. McCall, journalism in- structor. was in charge of initiation rites conducted by old members of the society. Ruth Stringham, president i of the local branch. Margaret Phillips! and Mrs. Robert Klevorn. the former Ruth Shauil. were in charge of the preparation which included decora- tions and the arrangement of place- cards which were small quill and Mcrolls with the name of each guest upon the scroll. The club has already made plans for another initiation service next spring when it is hoped that more people will be r ady for membership. The work upon which an applicant is judged is sent to headquarters for inspection so that the local club has no particular part except in giving the initiation. Again the faculty and students of Charlotte high school were prominent members of the cast of home talent productions and lately displayed their dramatic ability in “Henry’s Wed- ding.’’ Mrs. Wildern. playing the part of Samantha , found that she really could dominate, especially the mem- bers of the masculine sex. they were all in her power. Mr. McCall himself displayed his Barrymore possibilities by trailing the sad widow all over the stage. (It’s all right, his wife was there.) Lawyer Chapelle. even though he is married, can do some fancy courting himself. To contrast this, our dear principle. Mr. Dykhouse, played his usual role of big shot, and of course took all the credit. It is doubtful if the chorus of high school students was even at the pro- duction of the first night, since they watched in awe the parade of business men across the stage clothed in odd costumes, if they were clothed at all. Operetta Committees Plan Play Production Not much concerning the commit- tees for the operetta has been heard, but Virginia Raidie. the student di- rector. has been busy prompting indi- viduals. and the stage manager. Don- ald Sexmith. has been busy tearing down old scenery for that of the new. The poster committee: Marguerite Williams. Jean Hammond, and Don- ald Sparks have decided to call off the poster contest for none have been com- ing in. Publicity charges are under the sponsorship of Duane Tuckey. chair- man; Donalda Davids, Margaret Phil- lips. Agnes Farlin. and Russell Cherry.

The costume committee is in the hands of Lillian Secore, Nell Sweet, Ardyth Frye, and Natalie Cook. Properties are being taken care of by Marguerite Chevalier and Patty Rus- sell. while Charles Fielder. Edward Cheney, and Byron Field are to have charge of the lighting fixtures.

SURVEY REVEALS SCHOOL’S OPINION Girls do not unanimously approve of being represented by their own sex on the President's cabinet. Technocracy has some significance. Controversy over Manchuria will not bring on a race war. This is a cross-section of the high school's opinion on certain unusual current events brought to light by a survey reaching 77 of the students and faculty members. The questionnaire I circulated in the world history, civics. Bible study, and senior agriculture classes also resulted in many inter- esting remarks. ................................

One even suggested forming a new department with a woman secretary of the home at its head. Another practical woman thought, a woman | could perhaps get along on a small salary.” Still a third stated that with a woman In the President's cabinet, the United States would not be as apt to rush into a war. The faculty members interrogated were unanimous in their approval of lady cabinet members. This remark of one teacher seems to summerize their opinion. It is not a matter of whether the cabinet member is a woman or a man.

There was to be a special assembly to make it possible for the entire student body to hear Mr. Chapelle broadcast front WKAR in East Lansing. The first bell rang. Books were stacked on desks in preparation for the mad dash to the high room. Scant attention was paid the teachers, endeavoring to go on with the lessons. The air was vibrant with expectation. Figures were tense, ready for the sprint for a seat near the front. The students waited. They fidgeted uneasily. They heaved barely audible sighs of impatience, but no second bell. A foot tapped restlessly: questioning glances were cast about. Then—the shrill clang of the bell rent the air. Five hundred fifty-one chattering young people rushed for assembly, seats. When the confusion abated somewhat. Mr. Dykhouse. the principal, with his usually cheerful smile tinged a trifle with sadness, announced that it was too late to hear Mr. Chapelle. there would be no assembly, some dastard hand had removed one of the tubes from the radio and before the damage could be repaired Mr. Chapelle had signed off the air. It was indeed a blow to the loyal students. They expressed their dlsnp pointment loudly. Therefore, the principal set out to hunt down the guilty party. The next morning he brought one of the conspirators into custody and soon after the other was found. Strict punishment was meted out to the unpenitent prisoners by the Student Council. They had committed the most serious of high school crimes. So ends the tale of the missing tube, but with high hopes the school awaits the repentance of the two miscreants who perpetrated the scandalous deed. TRI E FACTS ABOUT HAIR People are always poking fun at. or what Is worse, sympathizing with the bald. But. on the other hand, or head, hair is an awful nusiance. If you are a woman you are kept busy putting it up. and if you arc a man you are kept busy shaving it off. Hairs have been known to drive some women insane, so that they tore out their eyebrows. The only hair that was ever of any real benefit was the beard. It did cut laundry bills down a little and it made a necktie unnecessary. When we were boys, to wear a beard, collar and necktie all at the same time was considered a vulgar display of wealth. As a matter of fact, the wealth was not really displayed. It was hidden by the hirsute adornment of the physiog. As for a diamond stud, that was an impossibility. What is the use of a diamond stud if no one can see it. if no one knows we have it but ourselves? We have long been taught the folly of hiding one’s light under a bushel, even a bushel of whiskers. If times don’t pick up. we may have to begin to wear them again to cut down expenses. Hair is merely a habit. If the Lord intended us to wear it. we would be born with it. So let us not pity the bald. They are on the right track They came into the world without hair, and they propose to go out of the world the same way. The bald. I have not the slightest doubt, will be hailed at heaven’s gate as the true anointed. If fellows must start a new style, why don’t they take God's way. and not grow the cookie duster but shave until they shine? WHO IS HE? Janitor “L Keyhole It takes more than a human being to stagger under a name such as Dagny Jaqueline Solsth Karreman. Jay Dykhouse is our idea of the meanest man in town. He called us to assembly a week ago Monday only to send us back to class. Don’t say you haven’t heard the new buzzer in the high room. Who put paste in a certain student’s seat when he was about to sit? There are twelve Smiths attending high school. Are boys more intelligent than girls? It would seem not according to the average of this year’s graduat- ing class. The girls out-smarted the boys by .21 points. T’was an hour in the high room And no one studied there.

Who is this big man from the West who sounds like the thundering herd as he strides across the high room in a pair of “number twelves ? He carries a watch that weighs one-fourth of a pound.

A few weeks ago three or four of the teachers about the high school were asked to identify him but as It happens, none were able. Can your imagine Miss Wells. Mrs. Kiplinger. or Mr. Stutzman not knowing who he Is? However, they all con- fessed that they needed a little brushing up In that line of work. One teacher suggested It to be Webster, a brilliant senior insisted that it was Gladstone, and a freshman remarked that it looked like George Washington to him. But as the matter stands the man is nameless. Surely someone must know who he is. Just take a look at him some time and see if you don’t recognize him.

It Is rather discouraging when trying to get a story to have each person you interview refer you to another. Our school is rated partly on the type of paper it publishes. Co-operation between those who have information and the reporter will help to make better, more interesting publications.

The victory in a bitterly contested battle enabled the Orange and Black to run their winning streak to four straight. To Hub” Stevens, veter- an local center, must go a great deal I of- credit for his outstanding, all- | round performance in the game. Stev- | ens cashed In five field goals und a gift toss for individual scoring honors j of 11 points. Hastings started the scoring with a i one handed shot from Howard, then j Lawyer Day matched It with a Jump shot. Hub” Stevens hooked one in left handed, but the lead was wiped away when Hastings scored five points in rapid succession. The quarter ended soon after with the score 7 to 5 in favor of Hastings. During the second period Charlotte scored five points to Hastings four. Sundeen sank one from the side and then Stevens dropped in a field goal and a foul shot. Adair made a Jump shot from the center of the floor. Simpson made one from the foul line to end the first half with Hastings still out in front. The last half was a thriller, the third quarter ending in a deadlock at 17. Hastings started things going, scoring on a sleeper. Charlotte then caged in on a set shot to even the score again. Again the Orange and Black came to life to ring the bell twice, on a field goal and a gift toss from Smith. With two minutes to go Hastings sank one to close the gap to one point. Stevens sank a jump shot to put them three points out in front with 20 seconds to go; Snyder sank a jump shot. That wound up the scoring with the game ending a few seconds later.

Pamahasika's Pets. international- ly known, will be here March 23 to entertain us In our first lyceum num- ber of this semester. For more than fifty years Pama- hasika's Pets has been America’s most outstanding bird and animal show—they present the greatest ani- mal and bird entertainment in the world today. Imagine. Australian Cockatoos dancing an old time wait : Brazilian Macaws strutting their rainbow plum- age: birds doing gymnastic stunts on horizontal bars; kindergartners play- ing see-saw. doing barrel rolls, play- ing on the merry-go-round. Little Bill” with the human mind does mathematical problems. The dogs Jump through hoops, walk on their front legs and do many stunts never seen in any other show. There is Oscar, the monkey—he’s funny. His monkey shines are worth going a long way to see. The grand finale of the show Is the Battle Scene. It is no doubt the most amazing spectacle ever presented by performing birds. The enemy takes one of the American bird soldiers prisoner and the American Cockatoo army comes to his rescue. The can- non is brought up and fired on the enemy’s fort until it bursts into flames. A ladder Is hoisted to the ramparts and the American soldiers scale the walls and take the fort to rescue their comrade. The fire is extinguished by the birds, the enemy flag Is torn from the nole. and the American Flag is proud- ly hoisted. Allow me to present my wife to you. Many thanks, but I have one.

I think poli- tics entirely a man’s job. while a woman’s place is in the home. said one boy. But a few more liberal gen- tlemen admitted women were break- ing traditions right and left and this new development was to be expected. The boys’ vote stood about equal for and against. Technocracy “All the Bunk Although opinions on technocracy ranged from a fair plan of govern- ment” to all the bunk , the majority of the faculty and students agreed that they thought technocracy was an Utopian dream, it was one more indi- cation that some people are seeking a solution to present economic, social, and political problems. It signifies the nation is passing through a tran- jsitlonal period. Technocracy received most support in the Bible class where pro-technocrats outnumbered the an- ti-technocrats 2-1. The same man who predicted that the World war would start in the Bal- kans predicted that the Chinese-Jap- anese war would result in a war be- tween the white and yellow races is the ground for one student’s belief that a race war Is on the way. But that all students do not fear the yellow peril Is evinced by anoth- er statement that for centuries the yellow races have been fighting be- tween themselves and. therefore, it is not probable that they will now unite against the whites. Several faculty members and stu- dents were convinced that a world war might easily be precipitated; others who felt convinced that It could easily be averted if U. S. would only keep her nose out, clinched their argument by stating that when the war was over no one would be able to tell what he had been to war for.

It is a lively musical comedy pic- tured in a Japanese setting. The plot centers around Miss Cherry Blossom. Martha Ransom, a Geisha girl in a Japanese tea garden. Her father, Ko- kemo. Russell Cherry, who runs the tea garden, wants her to marry Togo. Russell Sparks, a rich, self-important politician, while she wishes to marry Jack Smith.

Duane Tuckey; and James Young. Robert Stine, complete the cast. Beautiful cherry bldhsoms and de- mure Geisha girls, dressed in bright kimonas. add charm to the production, while an American chorus makes it complete. There arc three acts, between and during which a selected orchestra renders its musical selections. The operetta is directed by Miss Dorothy Brown, supervisor of music, and Is produced jointly by the boys and girls glee clubs, and the high school orchestra. Enclosed In a miniature Japanese garden, the tearoom of a prominent dining inn. the characters act their roles. Here and there are tiny tables of wicker, depicting an Oriental set- ting and surrounding these Is a dainty arrangement of glossy white lattice work strewn with enumerable flowers of the Japanese type. Lighted with soft shades cast by the reflections of numerous floating Japanese lanterns and shadowed by the reflections of vivid cherry blossoms. Spotlights here aud there give the effect of a setting of deep evening and lends a romantic strain to the whole affair, making it one of romantic para- dise for the actors themselves. A dancing chorus of Geisha girls add life and entertainment to the al- ready interesting and somewhat hum- orous production. Lively orchestrations render the play even more vivid and colorful, lending its bright music to the scenes that demand action, and playing mod- erate tunes to those parts which one might guess are realistic to say the least. MIXER FEA TURES ST. PATRICK’S DAY Decorations in keeping with St. Patrick were featured at the Student Mixer held last Friday night. March 17. In the high school gymnasium. The Night Hawks, who furnlshod the music at the second mixer of the year, played again last Friday under the direction of A. B. Huntoon. This was the first mixer that all outsiders were admitted, the price be- ing fifteen cents. Almon Murray, chairman of the mixer committee, was in charge of the decorations. George Elias to Address High School April 5th Shepherd. Adventurer, Lecturer, and Soldier, to Entertain Assembly. George Elias, shepherd, soldier, lec- turer. and adventurer, will speak to the high school assembly April 5th, in another lyceum number. Mr. Elias, known as A Shepherd of the East. was born in Matha Meso- potamia. near Ur of Chaldee. For four year this Oriental lad guarded hlR father's sheep. His flock of about one hundred sheep and fifty goats were each called by name and respond- ed to name, as was the Oriental cus- tom. At the age of fifteen George Elias escaped from the Turks, who had cap- tured his people; went into Persia and became a member of the Foreign Legion attached for duty with the Russian army to combat the Turks. Mr. Ellas has visited Persia. Russia. Denmark. Sweden. Finland, Poland. England, and Mexico. He has en- countered many unusual circumstanc- es. which with his interesting life gives him many unusual subjects to speak on. CN THE MAY March 24-Aprll 1 SPRING VA- CATION!

A gang of us mobbed a circus and be- cause of this thirty-six of us were ex- pelled.” Mr. Wright attended both Charlotte and Grand I edge schools and gradu- ated from Charlotte in 1891. Al- though advanced in years, only his erav hair and lined face show his age. He has an erect carriage, a forceable speech, and is young in mind. After being forced to leave college, he returned home, studied law under Judge Smith, passed the bar examina- tions. and was practicing law before his class graduated. When asked hi opinion on demo- cratic administration, he paused and spat into a spltoon before answering. “The democrats will do all in their power to help remove the depression. There Is plenty of money in the coun- try but the big fellow has it all. Capital punishment is a fine thing providing there are eye witnesses to the crime and there is no doubt of the guilt of the person. And a to liquor. he spat viciously. Liquor is the great- est factor for trouble there is. Strict enforcement of the laws will do away with it. Law is the greatest profession there is. he drawled, settling back in his chair. A person who likes it, who enjoys digging up facts, is cap- able of thinking quickly, will make a fine lawyer. But if a person has not these qualities, it’s a miserable profes- sion. A lawyer must be able to see possibilities quickly and have the facts. To illustrate. he arose from his chair and strode to the window, many times it is easier to convict a person on a misdemeanor than on a felony, so sometimes a crime is called a misdemeanor instead of a felony. And in regard to facts—-I’m never afraid when the opposing lawyer comes into court with an armful of books. But when he comes with one book, then watch out. He’s got all the facts on four feet.

Soon we shall come to the parting of the ways; a little respite from the daily grind: Just a little pause to get our second wind in the great race along the flowery (?) path of knowledge. Yes. you guessed it. Spring Vacation, and how! from March 24 until April 3. Whoopee! No more teachers, no more books, no more cross-eyed looks! That Is the attitude, and should be. I suppose, that most of us have toward this annual holiday. According to Jay Dykhouse the real purpose in giving us this handout Is to give us a much needed rest (?) so that when we return April 3rd we will dig into our work again with a right smart good will. Some of us won't be able to enjoy fully the coming vacation because of a sharp two- edged sword hunging over our heads In the form of over-due book reports and will be forced to peruse over some droll biography while the rest of the gung are drinking in the spring ozone: while still others will be fretting about having to swallow forth-coming bitter pills in the form of test which the faculty frequently give in large dosages. But here's a prescription from old Doc. Pain. “Take life easy while you still have it. don’t cross bridges before you reach them, you might have to die your hair, and on the morn of April 3 snap out of it and hustle through the studies for the night is coming (June 16).—D. G. G. THE TOURNAMENTS The now popular sport of tournament boxing has never been taken up by Charlotte high before. Judging from the interest that Btudents have shown, it will be a success. For the past week or so. the locker room has been used ! for a ring and many a novice has for the first time met the gloves face to j (ace. Wrestling also has become quite popular, but not os much so as boxing. Of course sportsmanship is necessary in the tournaments. It is not neces- sary to tell that, as the fair play spirit has been prevalent among the spec- tators as well as the participants. It should be taken into consideration this fact, that it is through the efforts of Coach Barnhill that these two sports have been started here.—H. A. J. FLOWER POTS Craning their necks out of Mrs. Mitchell’s or Mrs. Kipliuger's rooms, students have spied seven gaily painted flower pots suspended sideways on the trees of the front school grounds. Surprised, they have told their neigh- bors to look up on leaving the building at the odd placement of flower pots. These flower pots have more significance than an attempt to be odd: they have been converted to a use as wren houses. Also, they are more significant than ordinary wren houses: they represent the first successful money mak- ing venture of Fay Buddie Root, a cripple from birth. This clever attempt of Buddie to overcome his physical handicap and make himself useful was brought to the attention of the Bible class, members of which suggested and raised funds for the purchase of four of these unique bird homes. These four, together with those presented to the school by Mrs. Colizzi, will wel- come the wrens on their retun� from the south this spring. Buddie”' is elated and Justly proud of the success of his venture; its re- turns represent more money than he has ever owned at one time in his life. The Bible class is to be commended for the encouragement they gave him Both the parts of Fay Root and the Bible class are further commendable as the first successfully completed effort to correct the impression that our school plant is a relic of an outmoded past by beautifying the school grounds. —D. H. B. HANDS OFF How easy it is for some of us to muss up what another has done. An attractively written announcement on the blackboard is such an easy thing to place one's finger on and erase Just a little bit until the whole thing is gone or marred until it is unreadable. Just why are those signs up there in the first place? We’ve been told they were there for a purpose, but apparently there are some who believe they are there to play with. The bulletin boards are there for all of us to read and on which to put our announcements. It may look strange to see a word minus an e or an i or perhaps minus the whole word itself, but surely those who are doing such things to be funny haven't derived any real kick out of It. and have have only served to destroy the main object for the announcements being there, furthermore, if students like to play with chalk, why not have a vote for a course In art? That is something we might all enjoy.—L. C. S. EDITORIAL BRIEFS Authorities tell us that the plural of whim Is whimmin”. Its beer that makes the world go round. Mr. Dykhouse reports that over sixty members of this year's graduating class have never, during their high school careers, been in trouble. We suggest that a little house cleaning” be done in the high room, the fifth hour some day. ‘Steb9 Manages Undefeated Team Bruce Stebbins is the only fellow In high school that can boast of manag- ing a woman’s undefeated team, but much to his surprise, he finds himself managed by these seven women— The Fancy Fumblers. This team plays about every week. Their competition has been opened to all except varsity players. Their personnel consists of a salu- tatorian and a faculty member as w'ell as boasting of a certain first class athlete and cheer-leader. One of the guards has the honor of being the only blond on the team. One missed being In the operetta in order to play against the Future Farmers. The all around sub Is the only lower classman on the team, being a sopho- mo e. The other guard goes for sports in a big way—she’s always seen in the high room setting with a fellow wearing a bright red sweater. The Fancy Fumhlers have played five games this season winning four and tlelng one. Below you And the rules imposed by the manager: 1. Drink eight glasses of water a day. 2.

GUESS WHO (1) He's very tall, in fact he cun boast of being next to the tallest boy in school. This senior has a very pleas- ing manner, especially toward the op- posite sex. and his friends are innum- erable. He’s an ex-basketball player, und at the present time he's tuking up wrestling for a pastime. Yes—you all know him. (2) He likes to be different—oh, thut’a his hobby, und this track of character hud often landed him in difficulties. Nevertheless, he has a heart of gold, so to speak, for he’s willing to do anyone a favor. He has friends In every grade in high school, although he’s only a junior. Blond hair, cut very close, frank blue eyes, rather sturdily built, and an extraordinary sense of humor. (3) Red hair (It was formerly brown) brown eyes that say mischief to their very depths and a pug nose, that's a certain popular girl In our school. She was In the junior play this year, and played her role very well. Her main interests are in a basketball player, who was high point man in the recent tournament. (4) Small, dark, and very active Is a certain senior girl in our midst. Per- imi- you don’t know her. for she’ rather modest and reserved at times, although when you’re acquainted you'll enjoy her company. She’s In- terested in basketball, too. for besides playing guard bn a certain girl’s team she spends much of her time in com- pany with a varsity player whoso nickname is Lawyer”. (5) Friendliness combined with wit go to make this senior boy a well-liked student. Brown curly hair, twinkling blue eyes and a merry laugh as his weapons of popularity. He has talent, too. for some of his famous works have been exhibited before the assem- bly.

BIBLE CLASS HEARS OSTRUM Mrs. Kiplinger's Bible class toured to Rattle Creek last Thursday after- noon in order to hear Dr. Ostrum from the Moody Bible Institute. The Pauline Letters was the subject that Dr. Ostrum talked on. And in his talk he gave a few really worth- while pointers regarding the Bible; the Bible is the Word of God. It does not contain the Word of God but it i6 the Word of God. We should think of the message instead of the men who wrote it. and before making conclu- sions regarding a certain subject in1 the Bible, read it through and it will have a different meaning, for God is a real invisible spirit, that controls the earth and man. There were thirty students that went from the Bible class. Many stu- dents stated that they enjoyed Dr. Os- trum’s talk and felt that it was worth while. The following people accom- panied tho students on the journey: Mrs. E. H. Chapelle, Miss Fern Wheel er. Mrs. Kiplinger, Rev.

Distributors of Shell Petroleum and Goodrich Rubber Products Shell Service Station FURNITURE THAT SPRING KEELING Spring is here, tra-la-la. There comes the time in almost every stu- dent's life when that attraction for the great out-of-doors, namely spring fever, overbalances the attraction to school duties The net result is a not- ed depreciation In the school attend- ance. But anyway the main point is that starting tomorrow we are going to have a whole week of joyous relief from school work. We will close our books with a bang Friday afternoon and they will not be probed into until a week from Monday morning maybe not even then. We will listen no more to the terse and sharp commands of tho teachers; and there will be no lessons to labor over. We will be free to roam the country side which we so ever-lovingly admire from the school windows. Perhaps our thoughts will turn, with the new born spring, to new born loves which may be instigated during the weeks of spring, or maybe our thoughts will not turn to the out- -of-doors or love either for some per- sons may still be studying during va- cation, but it is very doubtful If any one commits this crime.

General Chairman, Outline' Entertainment for Night. Members of the Debate Club met last Tuesday night, April 4, to discuss plans for the banquet which is to be held next Tuesday night. Melvin Sundeen, general chairman of the banquet, outlined the enter- tainment for the evening. According to the chairman, one of the prominent young lawyers of Charlotte has been Bill, the mathematician of the par- ty, Is 60 years old. He was brought to America by Charlie Jeromme. an ex- cellent bird trainer from Italy. The bird was purchased from Mr. Jerom- me’R wife soon after his death.” Australian cockatoos live to be very old. in fact, there are some birds that are known to be over 100 years old and are still able to fly around a good deal. Birds and animals take the feeling of the audience. Thus a dead audience causes the birds to react accordingly, while a live audi- ence pleases them.” Short speeches are to be given by the members. The topics of these speeches will be prepared by the com- mittee. The members have been noti- fied to bring a guest. This they think will get more people interested in the club as well as make it more Interest- ing for all concerned. This banquet will be the second one of its kind for the debate club. The first one. according to the members, was a big success and every effort is being made by the committee to make this one even better.

Although this is a pretty fair answer, it would imply that said person was a bit annexations, legalized massacres, and other events which comprise our American history. It was April the 18th. back in 1775. that Paul Revere galloped heller skelter into Lexington to touch off the Revolutionary War scheduled for the next morning. Also in April, but one hundred twenty-three years and three days later. April 21. 1S98. the first fireworks of the Spanish American War boomed off. But the world was not yet safe for democracy and on the morn- ing of April 6. 1917. America was persuaded to determine the question per- manently by entering the World War. The supposed causes of these wars are known to even the humble eighth grader, but what benefits were derived from any one of them still puzzles our mo3t eminent historians. Through the years. April has been the ‘’scrappy” month. April is also notable for its disasters. Only last week the U. S. N. Akron, largest dirigible ever to be built, crashed into the ocean carrying with it j seven!v-one lives and the future of lighter-than-air ships. Back in 1912. the Titanic, largest transatlantic liner of its times, bound on its maiden trip, struck a submerged iceberg, and sank with sixteen hundred aboard. Don I fool yourself. April Fool’s Day may start the month but only a little grub- bing into the study of cycles proves conclusively April lias never been buried without its quota of notables.—D. H. B. FRIENDSHIP It seems as if many students have the impression that spring is close at hand, but now that the girls are shedding their stockings, spring is surely here. It Is hard to say what spring means to some, but for seniors It means: class night, baccalaureate, junior and senior banquet and then graduation. With graduating time drawing nearer and nearer each day. we look about and wonder how many of our school day friendships are to be broken up after commencement. Just stop and consider what friendship is—how Important a part it pla s in one’s life. Try and imagine what life would be day after day, year after year, without a real friend you can depend upon. More and more, as the years roll by. we shall realize that one of the finest things that come out of our high school life is the friendships we formed.—M. D. __________ IT’S CUSTOMARY Gay and flowery! Pink, green, orange, blue, and yellow. Bright, daz- zling colors come and go. flitting, dancing, capering. No. It’s not balloons. It’s new spring dresses which automatically appear following spring vaca- tion. It’s a custom which cannot be ignored; one must have something new on display Just as the store windows must be arrayed in some attractive 'Tn nne years It seemed as though the girls were alone In keeping up this popular custom, but no-the boys are at it too. Attractive new «pat- ers adorn our promising athletes, scholars, dramatists, and Journalists. Who We'll agree that it appears to be a non-essential matter, but well have to also agree that boys and girls, especially the latter, would feel rather downcast unless they could don something new on Monday morning.—I. M. K. VALUE OF ASSEMBLIES Are the assemblies which occur about once a week to be considered as an event which will break up the monotony of the day? Are they to be con- sidered as an event that will shorten the day’s classes. Few of us realize the good which is to be gained from these assemblies. The greatest gain, perhaps, is the fact that these assemblies are in charge of the student body. If a speaker is to be presented, some student is asked to present him to the student body. It gives the students a «-nance to appear before the group of people, a thing which every person should be able to do. The assemblies bring the students together. On the whole these assemblies are very necessary to a high school. NVith- out them our school would be very dull.—B. M. OBSERVATIONS Kathleen Johnson, senior, and Robert Parker, former student of Char- lotte high, were married Thursday. March 30. at Angola. Indiana. They are living with Mr. Parker’s parents. . . _ _ , Please extend our sympathy to those who struggle as hard as we do to T e excellent lyceum numbers we have had recently should be real mdulem forTtudents who are behind on the nlckel-a-week to settle up. AND SO HE MARRIED THE GIRL— Bp Chjum� Garvey (With apologies to Miss Dorothy Dix) It’s this way. began the sweet young thing, as she patted a wrinkle out of her imaculate sport coat, “I’m in love with three men; I can’t decide which one I want to marry. They’re all so tweet—and I know they love me. but I can’t decide which one 1 love more than the others. Miss Dix. the advisor to the love- lorn. sighed as she endeavored to en- lighten this poor suffering creature, who plainly needed assistance. Well, now. Miss King, the pro- posals—.” Oh. now don’t tax your brain on that point. I can get a proposal soon enough after I decide on the lucky boy. Or the unlucky one. added Dor- othey Dix. mentally, as she cast an envious glnnce at the vivacious crea- ture. I can’t see. that you need ail vice so badly. Just go ahead and get one of them to propose. “Oh. but I do need advice. the con- fidant pleaded. “I’ve Just got to know which on© to get to propose. Well.” the experienced voice of Dorothy Dix cut In. Suppose you describe these three Beau Guestes to me. Oh. I Just knew you’d understand. Miss King heaved a sigh which show- ed how obvious it was that she had it and had it bad. There’s Bob Smith, he’s a regular Romeo, he seems to un- derstand so sympathetically, and he has the prettiest eyes, his hair Is black. “Yes. yes. I understand. Miss Dix evidently striking Miss King at her weak point, realized how fatal the af- fliction was. And who is the next one? “Well.” she deliberated slowly. ‘T think Russ Sparks is next. He sings so divinely—. I suggest,” Interrupted Dorothy Dix. realizing how practically impos- sible it would be to get anywhere, due to Miss King’s effusive raving. I sug- gest that you have a date with each fellow, try to analyze each one’s good points and decide which one you’d rather look at over a breakfast table seven days out of the week and 365 days out of the year. And if you’re still undecided, come back.” All right.” began the client as she rose to go. “I’ll follow your advice nnd I think you’re a darling to help me. Thanks so much. Good-bye.” With a polite dismissal. Miss Dix bent herself over her numerous let ters Miss King quietly drew on her gloves and left the room. The musi- cal click of her heels resounded on the marble floor and died away In the distance. The speed of the revolving doorway was rather revolting, and as she stag- gered out she grabbed the nearest jterson for support. The nearest per- son happened to be a young man who was taking a much safer route and not experimenting with the revolving doorway. He seemed to be rather pleased with the fact that his proxim- ity was noticeable to this entrancing personage. Gee whiz. she ejaculated, gasping for breath, I haven’t ridden on a merry-go-round since I was a kid. 1 guess I'm not used to it. The other door is safer.” he agreed. I'm sorry. 1 didn’t intend to crash into you. but you seemed to be near- est— “Well, I don’t mind, do you? As she looked up into two inquir- ing. sparkling blue eyes, she murmur- ed. Well. I could have done worse. Are you busy?” the young man in- quired. “Not so very. Swell! I know the keenest tea- i room.” I So what?” GUESS WHO i. His Jovial manner and striking personality attracts to him many friends. He's only an eighth grader but his waistline makes up for the rest. His hair never sees a comb ex- cept when his mother formally Intro- duces It. This young chap drifts to different groups each day and enter- tains them with his ability to imitate. II. Popularity plus high scholastic standing are found in this well liked senior girl. Her laughing eyes, wavy browm hair and pleasing voice make up her personality. This girl intro- duces many of the speukers in assem- blies. III After being absent for the winter months this certain senior girl has returned to the welcoming arms (?) of C. H. S. She is of medium build and is very quiet, also she is one of the first five in scholastic standing of her class. IV Medium size with blond hair and red face this good nalured boy makes his way around school. He is a Jun- ior B this semester and last semes- ter you could hear his voice once a week above the rest of the students. V. Red wavy hair, athletic build and a smiling countenance helps to make up one of the fellows in this year’s graduating class. This fellow is in- terested in football, basketball and track.

With Malice Toward None takes up Lincoln's life after the Civil war has started. All of Lincoln’s troubles with Congress and his cabinet are clearly shown and the render feels he is really a member of the White House at the time the different happenings take place. If ever the characters of Lincoln and his wife were shown, it is in this book. The story is listed as a novel and the kidnapping of Mrs. Lincoln and quarrels Lincoln has with Senator Sumner seem to keep it as such, but the reader really learns more of Lin- coln’s true character In this book than in one that tells of his wood splitting and burning of the mid- night oil.—By Ralph Overmper.

ORANGE A BLACK BASEBALL; TRACK PRACTICE BEGINS Baseball ha returned to play an Important part in the sports of Char- lotte high school this year. Coach Kenneth Barnhill reports that he has verbal promises for four games so far. Two of them� games are to be played with Battle Creek Central and the other two with Lan- ding Eastern, both of these places are class A schools. Charlotte's last baseball team won fame six years ago In 1927 by winning every game, thus winning the base- ball trophy that now rests in the trophy case. Coach Barnhill was a member of this team. The track team will not be dis- solved. Mr. John Duguid ha volun- teered to coach track three nights a week. Mr. Duguid is well quali tied to fill this position being a former track star at Hillsdale. Six letter men lire expected to re- turn for the track team, namely. Clif- ton Kelley, Jack Southern. Robert Cochrane. Bill Day. “Ed” Cheney, and Harold Sloan. The first four make their final nppearanco this year, as they graduate in June. According to Coach Barnhill, stu- dents may include both track and baseball in their schedule If It doesn't interfere with their studies. SCOUT TROOPS PLAN FUTURE Active programs are being planned by the three Scout troops in Char- lotte. Troop 44 had a parents night Tues- day at which demonstrations were given to exhibit the various phases of scouting. The group plans to have an indoor baseball team which will hold practice after school and on Satur- days. A hike is being planned for the near future. The members of troop 45 are taking a hike next Saturday. Mr. Dykhouse is planning to take the Scouts on a trip to Grand Haven where they will sleep on the beach if the weather permits. From there they will motor to Holland where they will visit Getx’ farm after which they will return home. An over-night hike to Mr. Wood's farm is being planned by the troop in the near future. An indoor baseball team is being formed by troop 46 and will start practice as soon as the length of the days permit. Several hikes are being talked of but the date is indefinite as yet. RE-NU SHOE SHOP Divot Diggers Hold Practice Sessions Spring is here and that means the ambitious golfers are already chasing the little white pellet about in an ef- fort to cut down their strokes before the elimination finals to be held April 29. weather permitting. As yet the Country Club course is not in a condition that will permit it to be used for practice. As soon as the course is ready for play the noble members of the golf team will hold practice sessions every Saturday morning and one afternoon during the week. Practice has been held in the gym- nasium and at the fair grounds in or- der to let the golfers loosen up be- fore tackling the real golf course. Charles Spice. Harold Fisher. Dean Bouska.

After leaving Charlotte, our first overnight stop was at Cincinnati, Ohio; the second at Knoxville. Tenn.. the third at Macon. Ga., and the fourth at St. Augustine, Fla. Spent day in St. Augustine, which is the oldest city in the U. S. It is very | picturesque with beautiful palm trees and an old Spanish fort (Fort Mar- ion). The streets are so narrow in some places that a single horse vehicle could not get through. All of the houses are very southern In style, most of them being of Spanish archi- tecture. We went through the old fort and saw several dungeons and a torture chamber where the early settlers persecuted the pirates. This chamber is extremely dark for the light of day never reaches it. Our guide turned out the electric light to let us see how dark it was. Also vis- ited the famous Fountain of Youth discovered by Ponce de Leon in 1513. We saw the Bok Singing Tower, the day before we reached Bradenton. It is made of pink and white marble with carved cranes and flam- ingoes decorating the dome. There are seventy-one bells in the tower and recitals are given four days a week during th© winter and spring seasons. The beaches in Floridu are entirely different than any in the northern states. They are not only larger, but the sand Is pure white and ground as fine as salt. Bradenton (the town where we lived) is the winter training quarters of the St. Louis Cardinals. They hold several practice games during the winter season with other noted baseball teams. We saw the opening game (Cardinals vs. Philadelphia Ath- letics). Cardinals won.

He talked about the curse of adver- tising and also its misleading of the public. He appealed to the students to leave thes© things alone, and to show others how wrong they were. Reverend Frye stayed through the day. giving individual advice and help to students. The fifth hour he gave a talk to the boys, and seventh hour addressed the Bible class.

Go Easy Big Feet SHAULL SPEAKS AT DEBATE BANQUET Prominent Attorney Gives Talk on ‘A Freshman In College.’ With Richard Shaull, prominent young lawyer of Charlotte giving a fine talk on A Freshman in College ’ the debate class enjoyed their bi-an- nual bunquel of the year Tuesday night, April 18, in the domestic science room. Mr. Shaull. former graduate of the Charlotte high school, was the main speaker of the evening. He told of life In the University of Michigan where he attended. He gave many examples where public speaking and debating aided progress in college. In a large college a student hag few Intimate friends and the ability to carry on a conversation with a stranger is very beneficial,” stated Mr. Shaull. He also staled that de- bating which he did not take in high school would have been a great help during his first year in college. Mr. Shaull concluded his talk by stating that a course In public speaking should be compulsory in all high schools. Melvin Sundeen, toastmaster for the evening, opened the program by introducing Miss Sally Higby, who rendered several selections of popu- lar music on the piano. This was fol- lowed by a fine talk by David Barn- hart on 'The Value of Debating.” Douglas lAke gave a review of the topics discussed by the club this year. Miss Elaine Leach played a few num- bers on her accordion. Victor Spani- olo gave a short talk on the essentials of debating. Mr. Shaull then con- cluded the evening with his excep- tionally fine talk. Much credit for the success of the banquet must go to lone Pryor. Har- old Fisher. Eleanor Toutant, and Ra- mona Swan.

[ •--------------------- -i BAND SUCCEEDS IN PROGRAM OF ACTION After Losing Several First Chair Men, Anderson Rebuilds Band Although the band lost several of last year’s first chair men through graduation. Wendell Anderson, facul- ty advisor for this organisation, says that the band was fairly successful this year. Last fall the band played at politi- cal meetings to help raise the funds for the somewhat depleted treasury. During the past year the boys have been collecting the waste paper in the building after school and baling it. The proceeds from the sale of which will go to buy new music. This organization has given three concerts so far this year. One at Bennett park, one at the Methodist church, and one at the Congregation- al church. They are now practicing, under the direction of E. R. Hllde- brant, for parents’ night. At the Eaton Rapids game, this year, the band featured the formation of the letter C” something not tried by a Charlotte band before. Mr. Anderson, also, this year or- ganized a German band, a clarinet quartet, and a saxophone quartet. All three of these groups filled many en- gagements during the year. SENIORS DECIDE FUTURE EVENTS President Roger Wilcox called the senior class together last Wednesday in order to vote for the student who is to receive the Honor Placque. Twenty-two girls and eleven boys wero eligible. The votes were not final as the teachers have to vote al- so and the finals will be kept a sur- prise to be put in the Charblan. the year book.

Mr. Harlan McCall SPORTSDOM With the first breath of spring air. ambitious youths clad in the costumes customary to their respective sports, rush pell mell to the green swards to begin a series of competitive eliminations to determine which schools and players shall receive praise and honor. After training for a series of weeks, hour after hour and night after night, these Grecian gods of sport doggedly comply to the rules set before them in an effort to make the team. As a result, more interest is being shown in basketball, football, baseball, track, and golf competition. Since a recent gift of baseballs arrived for the team, which is still in its infancy, its hopes for a successful season have reached their highest peaks and as a result the baseball season for Charlotte high has started with a bang. But while these local Warneke and Wanners are giving the apple a spin, the cinder throwers under their superior, Mr. Duguid, are being kept busy competing with various schools in regional and district track meets, not to mention training meets. Golf too must be given due consideration for with surviving members of the elimination tournament well and happy, most of us may expect to nee the local golf team chase the pellet over hill and dale nnd through water and rough to a series of victories. But then, make merry we must, for when sport is clean, there is nothing better to develop both mind and body of all Individuals.—D. F. S. WHAT? NO SPRING FEVER I “What, no spring fever” the freshman murmurs, ”my perennial attack usually arrives the week after spring vacation.” There certainly is a rapidly decreasing number of cases of this usually prominent disease and. since no scientist has come forth with a solution to the disturbing problem, the Orange and Black staff dispatched a special reporter out to discover for their readers the cause of the unprecedented state of affairs. The physics labratories being the logical place to make a study of such radical changes the reporter hastened to that room where he might examine the various devices for measuring weather conditions. A thermometer, perhaps would give the clue. It records a reading of seventy-one degrees, a healthy temperature to be sure, but this is not suffi- cient to cause the low number of spring fever cases. Maybe this wet and dry bulb thermometer is the solution. Surely enough it does, for the chart beside it states there is a high percentage of moisture In the air thus con- firming the weather man's prophecy, it Is raining. Here's the solution. No sunshine, no longing to go out of doors. No longing to go out of doors, no spring fever.—D. E. L. TEN YEARS HENCE You may delay but time will not.” Benjamin Franklin knew what he was talking about when he wrote those words. Time, indeed, is fleeting. How fleeting any student can tell when he hears. How fast the spring term is going,” falling from the lips of doleful (but still dignified— it's a tradition ) seniors. And that brings up the thought—ten years from now where will the present students be? Will they all be literally rolling in money? Well, hardly. Will any attain political or academic honors? Perhaps. But it's a question just what the great majority, the forgotten men” will be doing. One delightful teacher recently remarked that doubtless during the past ten years, erstwhile valedictorians had been borrowing money from tail enders of the honor roll. Compensation, said Emerson. So there’s still hope for the so-called dumb student. But to get back to the forgotten men. Perhaps ton years from now there will be no depression, and every one of the ninety odd seniors will be rolling in money. If not luxury, at least in plenty. We hope so. And to finish up this treatise, dissertation, conglomeration, or what have yqu, we quote Elbert Hubbard: If pleasures are greatest in anticipation, just remember that this Is also true of troubles.”—H. R. WHY AND WHEREFORE Every Tuesday and Friday with a clamping of feet on the squeaky lower hall floor, several of the less industrious members of the senior agriculture class are seen going down to Mr. Chapelle’s office to use the adding machine. The farm accountant books which they are working don't seem to bal- ance. Several report that they lack between one dollar and a thousand dol- lars. Do they think the adding machine will take pity on them and give them enough money to balance the books? They certainly cannot blame their mis- takes on it. Two or three have suggested buying new books and starting over again but, their faithful teacher will probably break down” in the end and give them some help.—C. A. L. The old school building is honored by the presence of a new tenant, a very distinguished member of the bird family. Mrs. Robin has chosen the location for her new home above Miss Wells' window. A fine view of her work can be had from the upper south hall window. Mrs. Red Breast for the past few days has been busily engaged in the construction of her new home in preparation of the coming of the lit- tle ones, and is very systematic in her construction woTk. Her new home site is well out of reach of any preying beast and is a structure of architectural skill. The foundation, constructed of twigs re- enforced with pieces of string, is guaranteed by the builder to weather any storm. The interior of the new home is elaborately decorated with mortor gathered from the school grounds. Mother Robin states she will soon move into her new location and would greatly appreciate offerings of food contributed by the student body. AND SO HE MARRIED THE GIRL Second Chapter. It was about 7:00 that evening when Betty King arrived at the Sund- quist-King apartment. Betty's room- mate sat curled up on one end of the davenport. A cheerful blaze burned brightly in the fireplace at the other end of the room. A floor lamp cast a rosy, homelike brilliance on Frances, as she sat there, rapidly devouring a plate of fudge. Betty ventured a Hello, Frances as she slammed the door. She took off her coat and threw it on the near- est. convenient chair. Mumbling, she reduced the volume of the radio, walked to the other end of the room and dropped on the davenport beside Frances. Gee. 'Fran.' I've had the grandest time, I met the nicest man, we had dinner and danced--. She laid her head on a convenient pillow and clos- ed her eyes reminiscently. Frances ceased her violent chewing and star- ed with awe at Betty. Suddenly with determination, she began. Yes, and I've had so much fun sitting here waiting for you to return, you told me you were going to see Dorothy Dix. I’ll bet—” Betty decided that at that celerity, it would take some time for her to; run down. “Nice ‘Fran , open your mouth like a good girt. Frances calmly obeyed. Now eat this. Bet- ty selected the largest piece of candy on the plate and unceremoneously stuffed it into Frances’ open mouth. It was fully five minutes before Fran- ces could aptly continue with her ar- gumentative powers. And then chok- ing. and sputtering, she accusingly began. Say. Betty, what’re ya tryin’ to do. choke a fellow? I didn't want to get rough old pal. but it was the only way of closing that Grand Canyon of yours. I want- ed to tell you that he’ll probably be here In about ten minutes.” He? Who In heck is he? Why—why—Betty enlightened, and then with a sudden slump she sank on the davenport with her hand on her forehead. In desperation she added, Gee whiz, I forgot to ask him his name.” (To be continued) And still we don’t know who the stranger is. Roy Adelman says that the greatest water-power known to man is a woman's tears. Janitor “L Keyhole There has been some talk about graduating in the park this year. We beg to suggest Beach's market would be much more appropriate as it la more centrally located. Anyway flies don’t bite as hard as mosquitoes. A very shocking incident has been brought to our attention. We wonder whether Douglas Lake and Walter Schroeder attend debate club meet- ings for the purpose of debating or to escort innocent girls homo after- wards? Who stole Emerson J. Hlldebranl'a trumpet? Donald Sexmith approached the home of one of Charlotte high’ damsels, recently, with the intention of securing a date. Upon learning that the young lady’s boy-friend was present, he inquired for her sister. Believe it or not the sister’s boy- friend was there too. Will some benevolent person kindly loan Charles Garvey sufficient funds to attend a show so he can get an in- spiration for a play to be given class night? Principal Shows Musical Talents Walking cautiously up the circular stairway a large figure was seen out- lined against, the grey sky framed by a window. The figure of a man could be discerned now as he walked quiet- ly across the room at the top of the stairs towards a large square bulk be- fore which he seated himself and struck rather viciously with out- stretched fingers upon a row of white which responded with several unhar- monious notes which a shifting of fingers changed to a pleasant chord. After several minutes during which a number of hymns were played, for he was in a church, someone turned on a light disclosing none other than Principal Jay Dykhouse at the piano playing the hymn Nearer My God to Thee and in perfect time. This selection was followed by several more numbers which were played with the ease of an expert musician. Mr. Dykhouse has been In Charlotte five years and all that time has hid- den his musical abilities under a bushel. A survey of musical talent which followed this observation disclosed an abundance of previously undiscov- ered talent. Miss Brown is appointed pianist for the honorary orchestra; Miss Wuebben. who has already shown her talent in previous assem- blies. as first violinist; Mr. McCall and Mrs. Wildern. whose gift for mu- sic had been only partially discovered, as second violinist and celloist, re- spectively: Mrs. Kipllnger. as the pipe organist, when one is available; and Mr. Hildebrant and Mr. Anderson can work in on various instruments. Mr. Anderson playing trombone, trumpet, base or baritone, and Mr. Hildebrant, violin, trumpet, clarinet, bass, baritone, and saxophone. The talent mentioned is only a suggestion for at the present time Mrs. Combs. Mrs. Wildern. Mrs. Kipllnger. Mrs. Mitchell. Mr. Dykhouse. Miss Car- land. Miss Krleger. and Miss Wells all play the piano to some extent. Although some of the teachers say they play for their own amusement. Miss Wells says she plays for her own ••amazement. There is enough talent available for an orchestra and a mixed octet it w as revealed, for Miss Stewart. Mrs. Wil- dern. Mr. McCall. Mr. Hennink and Mr. Stutzman are known to sing and other teachers probably remain only to be discovered. ORANGE A BLACK High School Boys Hold Interclass Track Meet Senior Win Meet.

At their last meeting after luncheon the plan was talked over. Members of the teams have not been selected but it is thought that the entire club will participate in the events. SPRING COLORS FEATURE MIXER The spring Student Mixer, which was held last Friday night in the high school gymnasium, was very well attended. The Rhythm boys, a five piece or- chestra, furnished the music. This was their first appearance at a Mixer. The gym was decorated with streamers of the predominating spring colors: green, orchid, pink, yel- low and white. The same reduced prices were con- tinued. Two more Mixers are planned for this year but as yet definite dates have not been decided. FRYE TO SPEAK IN ASSEMBLY Reverend Glen Frye of Lansing will speak in the assembly to be held to- morrow morning.

Coffin’s Restaurant PLATE LIN (II 25c Hot Dogs 5c Bible Students See Puppets Murionette shows are the latest way to bring the strength of missionary and gospel work to the young people of high schools. Miss Moore, who spent Tuesday afternoon with the Bible class displaying various charact- ers from foreign lands, enumerated some of the numerous changes made in the lives of the heathens after the coming of the missionaries. Doubt and misunderstanding arouse constant war and hatred of the Turks for the Jews, and the changing of an old haunted house in Palestine into a beautiful missionary home. Another decided change in the newly connect- ed Christians is their cleanliness and not being guided by fear, but by love of one another. NOTED AUTHOR HERE TUESDAY I ast Tuesday.

Kellogg’s mother, who made this school possi- ble. The school is designed to pro- i vide for normal as well as all types of children. There are over 700 attend- ing the school at present. The club then visited the Kellogg Cereal Co. and were shown the pro- cess of making corn flakes. During the noon hour the members drove out to Camp Custer, and went j through the hospital.

Subscription Rates—$1.00 Per Year STAFF EXECUTIVE BOARI� Publisher ................................................Clifton Kelley Managing Editor .........................................Almon Murray Editor-In-Chief .........................................David Barnhart Business Manager......................................Frances Sundquist Advertising Manager .......................................Harold Fisher Reporters ......................................Rest of Journalism Class Faculty Advisor ......................................Mr. Harlan McCall THE “NEW DEAL For the first time in many years Charlotte high school is to have a dif- ferent year book Prior to this year the Delphian has always been published by the senior class as its annual. But this year a new plan has been followed. A school annual and newspaper must have some means of supporting itself, namely advertising. An annual depends entirely on advertising and the price of the book itself. This year it was thought very impracticable and impossible to put out a book of the cost of the Delphian and in order to continue an annual a less expensive one is to be published, the Charhian. The Charhian will contain everything that was in the Delphian along with other new features. In fact, the new annual will be the same as the old one except In price and name. As the Charhian is to consist of a sixteen page booklet bound with the issues of the Orange and Black, one of the main features in it will be the calendar index. This will enable the reader to quickly refer back to any school event as it appeared completely written up in the Orange and Black. This is only one of the advantages which the Charhian has. The Charhian will be one of the most lasting and complete memory books ever put out by the school. An annual is always priceless to the grad- uated students. Through it school days can once more be revived. This year the Charhian will prove to be even more valuable.—W. C. COACH It If N IIII.L As we pursue our course of study during these last few weeks of school, our minds winder only to come to an abrupt halt at the mention of the one word—Coach. Everyone in school knows the Coach: most of us have met him personally, but has anyone tried to enumerate the mare of activities he has promoted, and In most cases instigated? For example: Our football season, though not out-standing, was peppy and well backed by the student body. The basketball team, after a slump, snapped it up and won five games in a row. not to mention drubbing their first conference rivals. Before this was barely over a series of intramural contests were begun. Boxing, wrestling, and basketball among them. Fol- lowing this came the news of a baseball team, the first since 1927. Interest was again aroused and as a result Charlotte’s baseball team packed away the first two games. Track also has been continued, through effort on the part of both the Coach and Mr. Duguid. But this is not all. The Coach has constructed two soft ball diamonds of regulation site, as well as a couple of barnyard golf stalls. And these are only the bigger things, for already a summer program has been laid out for persons of all ages. Is our Coach worthy of a little support?—D. F. S. CO-OPERATION APPRECIATED I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me; I'd like to be the help that you’ve been always glad to be. —Guest. This quotation puts into words the reeling that every member of the Journalism class has for M. H. Doc’' DeFoe and Earl McGrath. These two men have every week given one or two columns of space in the Republican- Tribune to be used for school news. Had the students to depend solely on the Orange Black, much valuable writing experience would have been lost. So. to these two men we sincerely offer our thanks and appreciation for the courtesy that has been extended us. Nor should the advertisers, who contributed so materially to the success of the Orange A Black, be forgotten. Without these staunch supporters It is doubtful if the school paper would have been published bi-monthly. So to all who have assisted In any way. the Journalism class wishes to express its appreciation.—H. R. Ain’t It The Truth My car ain’t workin’; my horse is sick. Troubles is playin’ a dirty trick; Three wheels on my buggy, my pig's gonna die. And oh my gosh my cow’s gone dry! My hens ain’t layin', no taters in the bin. Wheat in the granary’s cheaper than sin: No hay in the hay mow. my barn's failin’ down. Ain’t got a cent if I could get to town. Times sure are hard, but I can’t kick; I gotta be glad that I'm not sick. —Blake Parish. We have conclusive proof the de- pression is over. The Board of Edu- cation has liquidated some of the town’s frozen assets into two new Webster’s Unabridged. The new tenant above Miss Wells’ window has announced the desire to enter her newly hatched offspring in the Better Baby” contest. Folks are getting poetic about the old building. Ion Holdridge asked to have a sentimental ditty about moon- light published. An 8th grader wrote about Poor Philip Nolan”—more mournful is one about the depression quoted at the left. REPORTER FINDS UNIQUE FACTS ABOUT SENIORS While the seniors are still In school, there is no doubt as to what they are doing, but after graduation—ah. that Is another story.

Working members come next with twenty-one students busily oc- Jcupied with Jobs. An even dozen are undecided, while twelve will re- main at home. This leaves only eleven post-grads and five who find it their pleasure to travel. Normal schools will claim four of the remain- ing five, while the fifth announces his intention to marry.

UNUSUAL EVENTS SHOCK PRINCIPAL Principal Dykhouse sauntered easi- ly into his third hour civics class and sat down carelessly on the corner of the instructor's table us was his usual habit. After pronouncing, correcting, and taking marks on some fifty spell- ing words. Mr. Dykhouse leaned bark on the table, placed his fingers under- neath the edge and swung his feet freely back and forth. Then came the startling event. Mr. Dykhouse’s mouth settled open slightly as his reflex actions got the best of him and he showed his surprised shock for a moment. He stared straight ahead and then placing his hands under the edge of the table he encountered cold metal which sent a shocked quiver through his whole body. A more thorough investigation re- vealed two shining strips of brass ex- tending underneath the edge of the table. When the principal followed up two glittering webs of metal he found them fastened to a rectangular wood- en box which seemed to cause the shock which had shaken him. Mr. Dykhouse had discovered the success- ful plot of two senior boyH to partially electrocute their principal. Agnes Ondra. work. Elizabeth Ottney. work. Ijouise Parish, undecided.
