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. Horace Darby has the hobby of col- lecting mlssils that have been thrown through window panes In the high school. Let's have a little co-opera- tion on behalf of the rest of the stu- dent body.—H. B.

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. F., one or the other Is bound to answer the ques- tions. We also wonder who had the tact to place the tack in Stutzman’s tact- full chair? Fess up. seniors!

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.

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.

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.

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.. As the whistle blew ending the game Charlotte was deep In Hastings ter- ritory ready to score again.
