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.

Subscription Rates—$1.00 Per Year STAKE Executive Hoard Publisher Managing Editor Ldilor-in-Chief Business Manager Faculty Advisor H R McCall Renorters “LETS BACK OUR NEW COACH A successful football team! 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).

STORY: Yours truly, was approached »• Andrew Toughy” Williams the other day and given to understand that I must be very careful what » wrote about him. At the time I had nothing in mind that in any way concerned Andrew, but a report has reached me that relates of ToughyV severe attacks of appen- dicitis when fisticuffs are in the offing. CON D ESC KNS ION: I will be available at four o’clock Thursday afternoons to do combat with anyone I may have offended (Keith Boorn. Jay Dykhouse and Jim Carr, excepted). 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.
