Smith picked up seven yards and a first down for Char- lotte. Howell held this time, forcing Smith to punt. However failing to make necessary yardage, they kicked to Smith who ran out of bounds.

Smith punted to Howell who fumbled soon after re- ceiving and Charlotte recovered. Sparks tore his way through center for three yards. Youngs gained three at the same place. Youngs crashed over for the touchdown. Youngs place kicked the extra point. In the second half Charlotte started going places again. Youngs hit cen- ter for three years.

Shell Service Station Goodrich Tires LOCAL REVEN IN HOPES OF VICTORY OVER ISLANDERS Old Rivals To Meet On Home Field In Final Battle Of Year, November I 1 After two straight defeats in as many years by their most deadly rivals. Eaton Rapids, the Orange and Black squad will be out to have re-, venge tomorrow afternoon. So far this year the two teams have been evenly matched. At present each has a rating of four hundred per cent having each won two games. Another reason to believe that they will In- fairly even Is that each team defeated Mason 12-0 and the locals trimmed Howell 14-0 while the Cardinal eleven beat them 13-7. These scores indicate tbit tomorrow’s game promises to be a battle. If Charlotte is defeated tomorrow it will be the first time that Eaton Rap- ids ever defeated Charlotte three games in succession. The local squad will bo in there fighting hard to deserve the banquet they will receive after the game and also to present Coach Barnhill a vic- tory and a five hundred per cent rat- ing for the year. Eaton Rapids will have one of the best conference backs in Homer Fra- iler who has been leading the Island City team this year. As yet the coaches of the respective schools have not given out the lineup, but the following boys will probably be in there for Charlotte: Redick and Kelley, ends. Thomas and Schlmmel. tackles. Forell and Bust, guards. Stevens, center. Sparks and Smith, halves. Youngs or Cochrane, full back. Nickerson or Halnea. blocking back. Charlotte Cafe LUNCH .......-....... DINNER.

We all can see that. It is most ancient, dilapidated, and on the road to the junk heap. Most of our equipment is a disgrace to the school. The objects undoubtedly in the worst shape are the two pianos that the school boasts. These two vintages of ‘98 which would make a fitting gift for any mus- eum of ancient history are battered, out of tune, and in a general state of decay. The only good thing that can be said for them is that beneath the scars of battle can be seen a joint resemblance of a piano and we expect to have someone perform on such things. If they hit a few blue notes and get mixed up in general, we criticize them when we should be criticizing our- selves. The condition of pianos and other school property is not due to some- body else. It is the result of our own carelessness. When we have something that belongs to somebody else we have no regard for it and do not attempt to keep it in its original condition. But remember that you are not the only frog in the pond, somebody else has to use these things so show a little j respect for them when you use or handle them. Let’s be a little more careful I with school property when you use it and at least try to keep it presentable. PI SH FROM THE SIDELINES Very often you hear students say. I am not going to the game— they'll lose anyway. Is that the right kind of spirit to show? HARDLY. Good school spirit helps a team to win many of their games. A team is judged to a certain extent by the backing It has from its stu- dent body. Therefore, if the team has a large following of students behind it. It goes into a game knowing and feeling that the student body is concerned about the outcome. Good athletic spirit Is not only backing the team when it is winning, but also when it is losing, for if a team ever needs your support it is then. Charlotte high this year can feel proud of the backing that they have given the football team, especially at the home games. When you go to a game YELL! Root with all your might! Let the folks know that you are behind your team one hundred per cent. Tomorrow we play Eaton Rapids here and let’s go down and get behind our team and see them on to victory, and let’s let folks know we are behind our team— let’s go! THE MOST IN BERN OF KISH ED Every day Mr. Dykhouse is seen going about taking his daily dozen picking up waste paper from off the floors anil desks. The waste baskets are starving for want of enough to eat. The floors cheat them out of most of their provender and their favorite dessert. Chewing gum is parked under the desks or in the case of flappers, behind the ear. These receptacles of rubbish are placed in convenient places to perform a more useful purpose than just being a part of the stationary landscape of C. H. S. So! the next time you have some paper that has outlived its usefulness, instead of casting it to the four winds pul it in the waste basket along with the chewing gum and give the old dear a feast. HIGH ROOM RELICS How many of you when in the high room have felt a sad vacant feeling like some dear familiar object was missing but you didn't know what? Well I can tell why you were so desolated. Among other things it Is those wall pedestals on each side of the stage; the Roman statues they used to support are no more. About two years ago one of them crashed to earth in ruin, the other Just disappeared, ask the janitor where it Is. Now the pedestal on the left up- holds a bronze child standing on lop of one of the library books with a sword in his hand, trying valiantly to defend a decaying tradition. Then those corroded busts of President Lincoln and McKinley on the east wall, their faces look as if they had not been washed since the World War when they were installed. Every spring we have an epidemic of spring fever caused by that en- trancing scene on the back of the stage. Still for all this the high room is for us to study in; the window shades may be In shreds but never the less it has a heart of gold, and if you search long enough you can find it; maybe in one of its faculty memtors. DOG JANITOR At the Keyhole Good morning all of you little mor- ons This is SKRZYKI RAJKONICH, the old shovel manufacturer, about to call a spade a spade. Of course, we didn't doubt her word, but we were a wee bit taken aback when Jacqueline Karreman told Mr. Stutzman in commercial law class that Herbert Hoover was born the day before she was. Tisk! tlsk! The high school band is making rapid progress? Last Thursday they had a staff of instructors out there which consisted of everyone from the janitors to the superintendent of schools. Almon Murray is the new drum major. And Is he hot? Would anyone else like to strut his stuff. The only thing they haven’t tried is a wooden Indian for drum major. No wonder the seniors had a hard time party. The high cost of being a senior is hitting some of the little tin gods in the vicinity of the pockctbook, and they can’t take It. According to Mr. Duguid we have many things to thank chemistry for. One of them is blonds. Shave off the mustache. Frace, we know you're I-on Chaney! Many of last year’s mighty seniors who tried to stage a comeback as post graduates have given it up: you can’t teach an old dog new tricks Edna Cushing plus a model A Ford times a senior party. Equals? Mister Anderson has a new theory. He claims the reason that a duck stands on one leg is due to the fact that If he raised the other leg off the ground, he would fall. One member of the faculty came to school the other day all decked out like a brigadier general in the Swiss navy with a Hoover pin on one lapel and a Roosevelt pin on the other. He's probably a socialist. GENERAL SCHOOL RILES TO BE OK NOT TO BE Whenever In the act of navigating through the halls, go full speed and do not stop for anybody or anything i unless you happen to meet Mr. Dyk- house or other members of the facul- ty elite.) When entering the assembly hall, disregard all traffic rules and rush for the seat nearest the front. When you think of kicking about the marks on your card-well-just for- get about them. When coming up the stairs use the north one, when going down use the bannister. The wastepaper baskets are only ornaments, put the wastepaper on the floor. Do not pass notes —throw ’em! Anyone’s coat laying on the floor should be left there. Rubbers should be kicked as far as possible. Gum can be chewed in classes, especially Mrs. Kiplinger’s, try it and And out. Because of its advanced age and general decrepitude, nothing difficult must be attempted on the piano. School property should be left where last used. (These rules are to be followed until otherwise instruct- ed) P. S. In case of necessity, gum should be parked under the desks or behind the ear. P. P. S. In case of Are Jump out of the neurest window and turn left. Nine weary chimes came In succes- sion from the belfry on the hill tower. Below its pale moonlit face reposed the clock’s structure and below that nothing was stirring (so it seemed). But wait: Suddenly then echoed and re-echoed through the corridors of the tower a long high pitched creak- ing sound then all became silent. The clock’s hands became nervous as he tried to hide from his eyes the awful scones which he thought surely would follow. But even though he listened Intent- ly, no other sound came from the chasm to frighten him. so summoning all his courage he moved his hands a little farther apart and poured down upon the quaint village resting so peaceably in the valley. A cloud passed slowly across the moon’s face and as the sky clouded the clock’s works missed a beat. What was that thing down near the city hall? A long legged, gaunty thing with torn and patched clothes and a head-----what a terrible head, huge It was and all yellow with age. and look! The thing had eye sockets but no sign of an eye was visible, its mouth resembled the port side of a man- eating shark and that thing was slow- ly making its way up the hill toward the tower, on which reposed the ever watchful face of the clock. On it came, nearer and nearer, then, as if struck by lightning It stopped, turned in its tracks, and emitted a low whistle. The clock looked up and glancing over the town found numerous groups of Innocent people having parties, play- ing games and laughing, in one spot near a hotel an old fashioned dance was going on with everyone shouting with glee. Looking down the main street the clock saw an awful sight. An old Ford truck loaded with corn stalks was running up and down all the while being relieved of its load and when it had finished the street looked more like a stable than a place of business. Far off In the distance some of Chick Sales’ Specialties could be seen crumbling to the ground all for no apparent reason. Various street lights were being gently lowered to the more solid expanses of terratlrma which ull In all the places mysteriously transformed. The clock looked at the thing near the tower and was surprised to see it surrounded by a cross section of every- thing imaginable that walks on two legs, everything from dwarfs to whis- kered men with painted faces at a sig- nal they commenced a round about march to the school house where they kindly deposited a load of trash In form of a farm wagon, and all. They had hardly finished when the bell in the school sent out a series of short stacatto barks, and again everything was still, the mob had vanished, the parties were over and the sun rose on groups of Industries, young lads laboring on various windows trying to remove the bad effects of a Hallowe’en eve.

Page 4 ORANGE BLACK Seniors Conduct “Nutty” Occasion Peanuts And Girls Lunches Furnish Refreshments Oh. for my boyhood days once more. was the spirit shown at the senior class party held on Tuesday night. November 1, in the high school gymnasium. And Just so that everyone could thoroughly enjoy himself, overalls seemed to be the proper raiment for the occasion. A committee of five seniors decided that in order to live up to the title by which this group goes, the party should be a nutty nite occasion. Accordingly, the first part of the evening was spent in games which brought out the full meaning of this title. The party started with a peanut hunt , and each person finding any peanuts was required to let his leader know either by crowing or cackling. The other games which followed were: a relay race, which involved golf balls, pillows and pillow cases; a tag game; another peanut game: und a contest to decide who was the best sculptor in molding gum. The last part of the evening was spent in dancing to music played by Larry Babcock, a former entertainer at the Student Mixers. The refreshments consisted of lunches furnished by the girls, each of whom shared her lunch with the boy who drew her number.

He was assisted by Sitting Bull Boy , grandson of the most famous Indian in history, Sitting Bull. His programs are made more im- pressive by his illustrations of tribal songs and ceremonial dances por- trayed in authentic costumes. No effort is made by Mr. Loring to idealize or modernize these songs of the red man. He brings them to his audiences in all their crudity and sav- agery. some times sad and plaintive. Just as the Indians themselves feel and sing them. CLUB TO HEAR TALK ON CHILE David Barnhart is to speak at the next travel club meeting which is to be held on November 14. 1932. He will speak about some of his adven- tures while he was living In Chile. In the past years the travel club has had many an active program and has taken many trips. Two years ago the travel club group went to the Kellogg cereal factory at Battle Creek whero they were taken through the factory by the factory employees. After they had spent the forenoon going through the plant they were treated to a free lunch by the company. Last year the club visited the State reformltory at Ionia and the same day also visited the reed furniture and later in the afternoon visited the State hospital for the criminal insane. Miss Wells, the travel club advisor, stated that this trip was one of the best that she ever was on. The travel club hopes to take many similar trips this year. The travel group this year is smaller than that of the preceding years, being represented by less than thirty members. JOURNALISTS TO HOLD POT LUCK Plans for the year will be made by the Quill and Scroll at a polluck to be held November 15, in the domestic science room. The alumni of the club are to be in- vited. Marguerite McGrath is in charge of the preparations for the event. Deep Sea Diver Appears Nov. 16 Robert M. Zimmerman CLUB LUNCH Sandwiches and Short Orders at all Times. Mr. Loring Is a capable concert pianist and has appeared on some of the leading artists’ courses through- out the country. Thousands hare heard him over the radio. The suc- cess of Mr. Loring and his assistant is best illustrated by the following com- ment from the Press, Grand Rapids: The weird wild beauty of these songs aroused the audience. They are like nothing else in civilization and are inimitable. The audience ap- plauded him to the echo.” Sawyer Oil Co.
