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. You will receive these on the nlckel-a-week plan as in previous years.
