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.

These two men watched the prisoners while York shot twenty-eight Germans as quick as their heads showed above the trenches. 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.

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.

Page 4 ORANGE A BLACK I'he Inquiring Reporter FIRST MEETING NAMES OFFICERS Willi Cox ha boon scurrying around the school asking the CHS notable this question: “What do you think of the Charhian?’’ Here are the answers: Roger Wilcox, president of the senior class: 1 am certain that the Charhian will be a success, and that everybody will be pleased with It. 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. The de- partments of the Charhian will be the best for the money of any an- nual that has ever been put out in Charlotte. Mr .
