TRIM EAST LANSING Orange Black OUCH I REPORT CAROS TIIK CHARHIAN Volume CHARLOTTE, MI1H-, THURSDAY, OCTOBER IS, 15 32 ISAAC GREYEARTH, f INDIAN, SPEAKS AT CHARLOTTE HIGH COUNCIL PLANS FOR YEARLY EVENTS Relates Many Experiences of Boyhood in American School for Indians Issac Greyearth. a Sioux Indian, who lina been In Charlotte on several occasions. entertained the students a week uko Friday. 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. STUDENT COUNCIL GARDEN PROJECT WELL UNDER WAY Russell Cherry Predicts Banner Year For School Mayer and ( ouncll Appoint ommlttei- To Look After School Affair Four Local Class Members Constructing Miniature Model Rock Garden Senior Girl Reserves Hold Their First Party Girl Reserves held their fl-st party of the year Wednesday. October 5. in the domestic science rooms. The committee in charge of enter- tainment and refreshments consis ed of the officers who are: Eleanor Tou- tant. president; Gladys Spotts. vice- president; Genevieve Huber, secre- tary: Maxine Cooper, treasurer. The evening was spent in Informal tsiks. plans for the ensuing year. Girl Reserve songs, and games. 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.

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.

Rest of Journalism Class LEARN A LESSON FROM THE AI.I MM eviaini AIu,mnl are backing the football team this year with every evidence osecuring resulU. 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. .. P!d y jU8t b fore lhe game w,th Maso” Mr. Youngs and Mr. Searles put the finishing touches on the pep talk and promised a big surprise for victorv Results: 12-0 in favor of Charlotte! 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. H.— Great day! Have you yet attain- ed your oft’ pronounced desire: Wish That I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate”? Perhaps as this is written Edna Cushing’s rather strenuous efforts at flirtation with the assembly or- chestra of a few weeks past have netted her that long sought boy friend. And please inform Janet Murray that Peggy Norris (what a vamp) has her eye on Gale Gregg. Does Pearl Shuler hide a come hither glance behind those colored glasses? Are Keith and Marj. get- ting serious again? What do you think? Mention of Elkhart. Ind.. still sets hearts aflutter in our fair city. And is Evelyn Taylor that way about an Albion college romeo! Isn't it about time for Don (Walk- ing Newspaper) Hale to start rush- ing the fair sex ugaln? Mudellne, perhaps you could tell us. or would Melvin object? As winter approach- es students cast glances of terror towards the school roof, methinks they fear those rickety rafters won’t stand another season. For what absent cloak and suit magnate Is Sec’y Jean Hammond pining? lone Pryor looks blue of late—it may be a lack of fresh radishes but we think sho’s had a falling out with her boy friend. Nell Sweet had designs on a recent visitor here from the South. Other womeu’s men are her specialty. Angry words and ex- clamations are heard In the halls Students have SUCH trouble opening the now' lockers. Why was Francis Flaherty seen hurrying homo in his underwear the other night after school?

What are the details concerning that ac- cident that Ardith (new girl) Frye figured in recently? Her scars are formidable. Mourns, sobs and groans of woe can be heard from all sides since both Narrow and Duck lake dance halls have been closed down. What's the youth of the nation coming to? Is our IL- LUSTRIOUS comrade John Jacob a poker fiend or does ho prefer pop- corn parties on the kitchen floor? Did Gladys bite Max. or why is he all plastered up? Can t be that cook- ing has that effect on him. We wonder what Al. Coffin does In An- gola. Ind.? And other local students have visited there recently too.

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.
