May we then face our life's work with this same high purpose. Many new friendships have been formed which have been constant sources of inspiration. After graduation may all these friendships continue with renewed energy. On behalf of the cluss of ’34 we wish to thank each member of the faculty who has had a part in guiding and bringing to u successful close the activities of this class.

Robert President’s Message We. the class of 1935. are standing at the threshold of a new era in our high school lives, a doorway through which we are entering upon a new field of activities and upon the dosing chapter of our high school career. It is with a feeling mingled with gladness and regret that we look toward the future, gladness for the many opportunities which lie before us and regret as we are confronted with the thought that so many familiar faces will be absent from our numbers. In behalf of the class of 1935. I sincerely congratulate the class of 1934 for exemplary work done on the Charhian ; It will be a splendid monument to them in years to come.

At the first of the year we held a meeting and elected the class officers as follows: President. Harold McGinnis; vice president. Chadwick Butterfield; secretary. Gordon Nielson: and treasurer. Marjorie Riley. We are very proud of one member of the class. Walter Crampton, who has been popular with the students with his guitar and cowboy songs. The class has not been very active in social affairs of the school, but I don’t think the class as a whole has caused very much trouble throughout the year. We hope to do better next year in activities and when we graduate. I am sure that we will be able to say that we have lived up to the class motto. We Do Our Best.” Harold McGinsik.

Charlotte Win First I.nine Starting the season out right. Char- lotte defeated Spring port 2� -7. In tliih game the Orange and Black «•io ei Its scoring power and looked like a much Improved team. Don Smith made two of the four touch- downs. in the first conference gume Mason made use of the breaks and downed the local eleven 7-C. Charlotte, how- ever. outplayed the Mason eleven, but tailed to cash in on the breaks. Charlotte came back strong to de- feat Grand Ledge 19-0.

In the opening min- utes of play Charlotte had the ball on Katon Rapids' ten yard line,1 but couldn’t put it across. It was not ontll the fourth quarter that either team scored. ‘I on” Smith made the only touchdown of the game on an off tackle slant, going fifteen yards before crossing the line.

But now they are getting crazy over yo-yos which was a craze two or three years ago but gradually died away. These yo-yos are mean things to work and if you don't believe me Just you try making that ornary ball of wood with a halter on it go around this world or some other place. Yes. that Is the trouble. It usually goes some other place. But! don't think I am trying to discourage you, persistent, young, ambitious, students for I certainly think your hobby a good one. So Just stretch your yo-yos around anything at anytime and anywhere except where some of these teachers are. who have eyes in the backs of their heads.—D. B. LET’S BE FRIENDS Many of us think C. H. S. is one of the easiest schools to get acquainted In. but this is because we who have been here for several years know every- one. Did you ever stop to think how hard it would be if you changed schools? Many freshmen and some students from other schools have entered here this year. When they do something wrong don't give them the laugh, hut help them. Be polite, speak to them and help them to get acquainted. Let’s make them feel as much at home as they were at the schools from which they came.—A. F. HELPING THE SCHOOL Our Orange and Black Is financed entirely by the nickel-a-week and the advertising which we obtain from the merchants of Charlotte. As you know, we are now met with hard times'’, and the merchants are cutting down as much as possible on expenses by not advertising. Therefore, in order to finance our paper, we must have your co-operation in reading the advertisements so that merchants will be urged to patronize us.—M. E. N. THE LOST CAN BE FOUND Everyone, sometime in the history of his high school career has lost something of value. Every year the increase in lost articles has caused great anxiety on the part of parents, teachers and the student body. The student council finally formed an organization called the Lost and Found Department. This department, with some dependable person at its head, receives and collects any lost or found articles. If each student will co-operate and turn any articles over to Ellen Young or Mayor Forell they will be returned to their owners in a short time.—D. C. THE NICKEL-A-WEEK PLAN Many people wonder where the money goes that is collected on Thurs- day morning. There is no great mystery about this at all. The nickel-a-week is divided into four parts. Forty per cent Is given to! athletics; in this way we do not have to pay to get Into the home football , and basket ball games. It costs money to publish the school paper and year book, therefore thirty-five per cent goes for publications. Fifteen per cent goes Into a lyceum fund which pays for our lyceum numbers given in assemblies. The general or union fund uses ten per cent of the nickel-a-week. The Honor Banquet is sponsored by the student council. They receive the money from this fund. If we had to pay for all of these things, we would pay several times the amount of the nickel-a-week. Why not co-operate and have a nickel ready for the collector on Thurs- day morning.—K. M. MAKING PROGRESS Ye songsters of Charlotte high school, here is your chance if you like heaps of work and loads of thrills, there is a new organization under an old name. Have you heard of It? It is the girls’ glee club under the super- vision of Mrs. Stanley Wildern who has had much experience in teaching the impossible to some people. The art of singing . The method used this year in teaching music is a drastic change from previous years. The club is certain to be a success because each student is given per- sonal attention. Mrs. Wildern is starting from the bottom and working up. We all find ourselves back in the fourth grade. Why? We are reading music out of fourth grade readers. My but it is thrilling! No popular music or Jazz will be used this year. Nothing but classical will be presented. Mrs. Wildern says. Our aim for the year is to be able to sing without a piano accompaniment''—R. R. S. MR. DYKHOUSE HAS A SECOND Charlotte high school has many visitors during the course of the school year, but never, has anyone come without telling us his name, until a week ago Tuesday. While Charles Garvey was gazing absent-mindedly out of the office win- dow he suddenly spied a little one wandering about. He Jumped from his chair, ran out of doors, grabbed up the visitor and hurried back with it to the building. He and Metta Lee, who was in the office at the time, immediately de- cided to name him, as he apparently didn't have any that they could find out. Alter careful consideration they decided to call it Russell. Russell, let’s call him by his new name, observing that Mr. Dykhouse was not present, decided h � would make himself useful and so proceed- ed to perch himself upon the window sill. From then until school was out. the darling kitty. Russell, dominated the office of the principal. Weal her Report Chemistry laboratory—Unset- tled. (Mr. Duguid didn’t like his coffee this morning?) Tpying room—Fa.r weather (Miss Wuebben must have heard from her boy friend.) Manual training—cloudy and unsettled—(Baby kept Pape Mead awake all night.) Miss Garland's d-maln—Tor- nado predicted as French test papers were very poor and all present are advised to seek shelter.) Miss Stuart's room—Gentle breeze from East and everything looks fair”. Coach’s office—This region noted for its cyclones and tor- nadoes is very peaceful this week. High room—Fair with oc- casionally a stir here and there. We have not been able to get to the band room but hear some noises which sound like thunder and others which sound like frightened animals which would indicate haziness and perhaps unsettled conditions. Roof—Slight precipitation — no damage will be done as the new tar is holding fine. Miss Well’s room—All goes well . The Way to Play Football First a signal then a thud. And then your face is in the mud. Someone Jumps upon your back And your ribs begin to crack. Hear a whistle “Down the Ball”— Tis the way to play football. Johnnie. said his father, who is the laziest boy in school? I dunno. Why. surely you do. Who is it that, when the rest are studying, sits and gazes idly about the room?” The teacher.” A budding journalist was told nev- er to use two words where one would do. He carried out this advice in re- porting a fatal accident. John Jones struck a match to see if there was any gasoline in the tank. There was. Age sixty-five.” BOSSY COMES INTO HER OWN We have all heard of Mary's little lamb which followed her to school, but few have heard of the freshman boy's cow which followed him to school. Yes, sir. It all happened right here in C. H. S. You see it was this way; a certain young freshman rained a pet cow, played with her. loved, fed, and carod for her. but when he start- ed to high school he pul away his childish things. He felt quite grown up. and had already fallen hard for the little blond, who sits behind him in algebra class. Bossy felt herself being more and more neglected, she never saw him at all now only night and morning, then it was Just to toss her some feed and hurry on his way. At last she could stand it no longer. One bright Monday morning she saw him come out w.th books and pail and get Into the car. Oh! at last she would find what was taking her friend away from her. She searched until she found a weak place in the fence and through she came. She tracked that car right to C. H. S. Mr. Dykhouse heard a ding-ding-dong and came out to in- vestigate. He thought his coffee must have affected him queerly. when he saw a cow with her front feet on the steps. Go away bossy,” he said, this is an educational institution not a cow barn. But no amount of per- suasion could change bossy'B mind. She only said, moo, moo. moo, which meant in cow language. I want my friend.” Mayor Forell was called upon th« scene, and as he happened to know that the owner was this young fresh- man he was hurriedly dragged from his second love in algebra class to escort his first love home.

Mason's achievement in triumphing over Char- lotte, 7 to 6. and East Lansing’s stub- born stand against Eaton Rapids in holding the Cardinals to a 0-0 tie. were the outstanding performances. Eaton Rapids and Mason looms up as a genuine menace to the champion- ship. although Howell and East Lan- sing must be given consideration. Eaton Rapids’ team Is built around Homer Frazier, speedy triple threat man. while Howell depends on Mc- Kinley. hard smashing full back. Leighton, a half back who is plenty speedy helps East Lansing win games. At Hastings, they depend on Smith to score touchdowns for them. Lang does the passing and punting for Ma- son.

The Journalism class aids in the publication. This was called the “Delphian until last year, and then the name was changed to the “Charhian. The book contains the history and a picture of each grade, and a copy of each of the Orange and Blacks published during the year. There is also a pnge for athletics, and one for the honor students. In later years, you may want to find the picture of someone, and so you get out the old Charhian to hunt it up. People write in each others books and in future years it will be a pleasure to read about the fun you had with a certain classmate. This book is the best memory book of school days you can purchase. Soon there will be signs around in the different rooms announcing that you can sign up for the Charhian. A small deposit of money is made when you sign up. and the rest is paid when you receive your copy. Make use of this opportunity and plan on purchasing one.—K. M. CAMOUFLAGE We wonder if some of our teachers were trying to start a fad. If you were real observant you will probably have noticed that two of our very dignified faculty members came to school with a somewhat different {(Hiking face this year. However, after two or three days, one of them came back looking normal, while the other still had that different look until very recently. You may have thought at first sight that the wash rag skipped a spot, but upon close examination you could see that the razor had made a detour. This may or may not have caused a great deal of comment, but it is to be noticed that some of our students are trying to Imitate their superiors. Some seem to be coming fairly well, while others had to give up in disgust. But after all. don't we all have our rights and opinions and maybe it looks just as good to some people as the ornament on the radiator cap of their car. - W. W. NO MORE PENALTIES FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! T-E-A-M FIGHT! We all join in the yells hoping our team will win. but we never pay at- tention as to whether we are standing where we belong or not. Most of us are half way in the field and when they give us a penalty for being on the field, we boo them and call them cheaters when it's our fault all the time. The boys on the bench are entitled to see the game as much as we and should not be forced to have to stand up. A lot of us stand in front of the bench, not thinking nor caring whether the boys behind us can see or not. Let's think of the other fellow hereafter and stay back of the white line.—M. E. N. A girl’s ideas and feelings used to be veiled In mystery but now if she sets her heart on something it's as easy to see through as cellophane. BOOKS FOR YOU TO READ I I Time Is never being wasted while you are reading a good book. Wa- kontah by Matthews, tells of the re- ligion and method of life among the Osage Indians. The facts for the story were taken from a journal kept by Herbert Hoover’s uncle, who was an agent to the Indians. The scene centers around the states of Kansas and Oklahoma. The book seems to reveal what Is in the minds of the In- dians. The author is an educated Indian from that territory. A good novel for a junior or senior to read is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Jane herself is an orphan and she thinks she has no relatives except an aunt by the name of Mrs. Reed. Be- cause of trouble between Jane and her aunt. Jane leaves and goes to an orphan home. Her life here is en- lightened. and then she receives a position as private teacher to a little girl who lives at the home of a wealthy Mr. Rochester. During her work there she becomes engaged to him and they are ready to be married when something strange happens. Jane runs away and is poverty strick- en. After a long absence, she be- comes wealthy through the heir of some unknown relatives, and returns to Mr. Rochester. He has been great-! ly changed by an accident which oc- curred in the burning of his mansion home. • Blind Men Pay Double Amount As the story runs, one night Fat Shaffer was buying a ticket at the Eaton.

May I have some strong yet healthy girls to move this object from the room? Upon this request, three brave, strong, little hands waved wildly Into the air, and the owners of these paws were granted the permis- sion of fulfilling the request. Out of the door and down through the hall plowed the object with one little dame ut the helm, one at the top-mast and one as the coxswain at the bow. Helter-skelter flew ye students dreary eyed and weary from the task of studying. Into the dark corners of the upper hall to get away from the fly- ing yet massive instrument gliding along the old hall. On a turn, the oily floor, high cast- ors and the innocent strength of the three pilots, furnished the climax. Came the crash! Students below’ said plaster flew Into the dark crevices of ears and necks while above great pandemonium reigned. Rushing thru the startled onlookers came Mr. Mc- Call. looking wildly about, crying, Anybody hurt? What’s going on here? Sadly feeling a bruised and broken body one of the sad participants, look- ed woefully up and volunteered the in- formation: The piano Just fell over.' Station Sends Static Abroad There have been lots of things broadcast over station G. O. S. P. which usually broadcasts through a frequency of 1933 kilocycles. While listening in the other day It was dis- covered that a certain young post grad, of Charlotte high school had the tact, nerve and authority to go to a show with four young flirting, un- married. (although one is thinking of such) high school ladles. Now this may be all right but it certainly does look distracting (and attractive) to the dignified people of the high school. Now It would be very well for this post grad, to take one or possibly two ladies, seeing as he is one year ahead of the ordinary senior, but it certainly Is going too far when he gets into the four class. They say real scholars in big schools like Pot- terville or Mlllett only have three girls. I was told the other day by one of our real romantic young students that certainly one girl was all anyone could take care of. But. oh yes. I have saved the most Important part until last. When he got ready to go homo he began to flglt. He would first stand on one leg and then on the other. Can you see the point? He was trying to get a ride home but the girls were rigid and wrouldn’t consent so he at la ! had to end his date in shame. Not So l� cwy The Poet: What time do you get up in summer?

Charlotte took ad-1 vantage of the first “break early In the game and gathered in two points. Charlotte kicked off and Hastings was forced to punt from behind their own goal line. Snyder fumbled the pass from center and Sloan downed him in his own end zone for a safety. This ended the scoring until the sec ond period when Hastings scored a touchdown, that was a freak one. Dewey, hack in punt formation, fum- bled the ball and Danish, right guard for Hastings, grabbed the ball before it bit the ground and raced 30 yards foi a touchdown. Charlotte came bnck strong In the last half and held Hastings In check for the rest of the game. Neither team could make any gain in the third quarter until the Orange and Black blocked a punt and gained possession of the ball on Hastings’ 10 yard line, the quarter ended with Charlotte on Hastings' 7 yard strip. Charlotte then started things. After the fourth quarter opened on the sec- ond play Smith slid through tackle for a touchdown. Hastings tried a passing attack in the last minutes of play only to have Charlotte intercept a pass to end the threat. The game ended with the Orange and Black in possession of the ball on their own 30 yard line.

Youth By David Starr Jordan Your first duty In life Is toward yourself. So live that the man you ought to be may. in his time, be pos- sible. be actual. Far away in the years he is waiting his turn. His body, his brain, his soul, are In your I boyish hands. He cannot help him-j self. What will you leave for him?| Will it be a brain unspoiled by lust or dissipation; a mind trained to think and act; a nervous system true as a dial in its response to the truth about you? Will you. Boy, let him come as a man among men in his lime? Or will you throw away his in- heritance before he has had the chance to touch it? Will you turn over to him a brain distorted, a mind diseas- ed, a will untrained to action, a spinal cord grown through and through with the devil-grass, wild oats”? Will you let him come and take your place, gaining through your experience, happy in your friendships, hallowed through your joys, building on them his own? Or will you fling it all away, decreeing, wantonlike, that the man you might have been shall never be? This is your problem in life— the problem which is vastly more to you than any or ail others. How will you meet it. as a man or as a fool? 11 comes before you today and every day. and the hour of your choice is the crisis In your destiny! CN THE WAY Nov. 10. Armistice Day Assem- bly. Nov. 11.

EFFIGY BURNS FRIDAY EVENING Tomorrow night one of the greatest events of the school year is to take place. Every pupil, whether short or tall, fat or slim, senior or freshman— in fact evoryonc. Is to meet in the hack of the schoolhouse at exactly 7:30. The event—of course, the pep meeting which precedes the annual Eaton Rapids game. There will be a large bonfire, in which will be burned the Eaton Rapids effigy. Speeches, urging the student body to back the players, will be given by Coach Ken- neth Barnhill, several players of the team, and several alumni.

To conclude the program, the rube” band will lead the snake dance from the school house to the court house. Let's have everyone out, dressed In such a manner that you can have a good time. For the purpose of acquainting the communities with achievements of the schools, a week has been set aside which is known as American Educa- tion Week. This year It is to be No- vember 6 to 11. As part of the celebration the stu- dent council, headed by Jack Forell. mayor; and Maxine Cooper, secretary, invited the members of the Rotary club to visit the school on Tuesday. November 7. The delegation, which consisted of 35 members, were served luncheon in the band room by Eliza- beth Kreiger’s two foods classes. Im- mediately following, a program was given which consisted of several se- lections by the band and orchestra under the direction of Em- rson Hilde- brandt; speeches were presented by Jack Forell and Principal Jay Dyk- house; accordion selection by'Elaine Leach; and the tiny tots in Lucille Fisher’s room presented a short en- tertainment. An invitation was issued to the Rotarians to spend the after- noon at the high school, visiting the various class rooms. A large number accepted the invitation. The nickle-a-week plan, which was started six years ago. has greatly im- proved. allowing for hard times. Be- tween twenty and twenty-five dollars are taken in each Thursday. The lost and found department, with Ellen Young as caretaker, is keeping more accurate records than in years previ- ous.

Chapelle. This is American Education Week. It is supposed that during this week people will think more about schools and what they mean in our civilisation. It is supposed that more people will visit the schools and learn more of W’hat the schools are trying to accomplish. This thinking about the value of the schools is a good exercise for high school students. The high school student of today will be the educator of tomorrow. Some will be taxpayers and some will be school board members, superintendents, high school principals, and teachers. It will be their responsibility to see that the children of the next genera- tion have the best education possible. High school students should recognize this responsibility and begin proparing themselves to assume it. The schools of tomorrow must be better than the schools of today. Are you as an indi- vidual high school student doing your best to understand the problems of the schools and consider methods for the solution of these problems? This week is a good time to begin. MOKE Fl’N FOR THE KIDS It’s Gonna’ Be Like This When Charlotte travels East to play Eaton Rapids on Armistice Day, Here in the West where it never snows We'll listen in on our radios; Unless my guess I sadly miss The game will go about like this: Folks, this is Bill Tullis broadcasting From the Island City stadium. I’m sitting here without a vest As the sun is shining in the West. Here on my left is Mr. Mead. He’s sure we’re going to take the lead. Kemona Swan Just sat down Dressed in a most bewitching gown; Just hear that crowd of people shout— I think the teams are coming out; Or maybe someone was hit by a car. No—right the first time—here they are They’re lining up to kick the ball. Oh mamma, see that baby doll— The ball is downed—They disengage— I think this is a speedy age. They huddle—Now they’re out of it. I’m not quit sure from where I ait But that looks like Miss Wells, Get this; Here comes some Charlotte yells. They’re back In punt formation now. Boy. see that baby kick—and how— A touchback—No it’s not allowed. The sun Just went behind a cloud; That’s most unusual they say — A cloud over here on Armistice Day; A pass, a pass—and it's complete. Oh gee! does Beatrice look sweet? A touchdown now the score is keen. The Orioles sure have picked them clean. The whistle blows—the game is done, ljust see that purple yellow sun. I'm glad—if you’re not—that I came. I ast Tuesday night, October 31. was the night when all red blooded boys were filled with pranks. It also has always been the night of the year which caused the city police force the most trouble. The quiet folks of both city and country fall victims to the funmakers' mischief, and some gallant young- sters get into embarrassine trouble. For this reason. Mayor Cash Beechler tried to make Hallowe'en night of this year a fun night with the trouble- making left out. We should take off our hats to Mayor Beechler and the organizations which helped him plan such an occasion. It included a fine parade, prizes awarded the winning costumes of the masquerade, and a show. When the entertainment came to an end, the time was an hour past the danger zone. —T. B. THE AMERICAN SCHOOL The next time you pass a school pause a moment to think what that school means to humanity. Recall the long dark centuries when the masses were kept In Ignorance—when greed and oppression ruled the world with an lion hand. From the very beginning of man's struggle for knowledge, self- respect. and the recognition of his inalienable rights, the school has been his greatest ally. We refer to the school as common because It belongs to us all; it Is ourselves working together in the education of our children. It is (datively new. It is democracy’s greatest gift to civilization. Through the world, among upward struggling peoples, wherever parents share in the aspirations of their children, the American common school is being copied. Let us cherish and improve our schools.—The Journal of the National Educa- tion Association. Some students are wondering when the NRA will shorten their hours, the teachers, when the Blue Eagle will give them more pay. We wonder why so many girls arc interested in physics? : i i BOOKS FOR YOU TO READ Good books are essential to a good A pioneer story which is good for education.

Superstition of Rabbit’s Paw Carries in School If reports travel much more, Char- lotte will have a notorious reputation for possessing so many superstitious characters.

These rings are hon- ors given to girls who have reached their goal or ideal in Girl Reserve work. The girl, herself, decides when she has reached this point from her code, slogan, purpose and the ring standard, written by the club. Then the club. local advisors, and area council decide whether or not the girl is worthy of the honor. The girls in Charlotte awarded rings last year and receiving them this year are: Myrtle Day. Remona Swan, and Eleanor Toutant. Myrtle Day came into the Girl Reserves from the Scouts, where she had served many offices and won honors. As a Girl Reserve she served as president of the Square Deal club last year and was a member of the Lansing area council. The other girls have been Girl Reserves since they joined in the 7th grade. The former has served as secretary and treasurer various years and on many committees. The latter has been president of the Junior Girl Reserves and has served in the offices of secretary and president two years in the Senior club. She has also been secretary of the Lansing area coun- cil for two terms. All three girls were delegates to the state Girl Reserve conference in Flint last winter.

The time is drawing near when families will gather to eat a large dinner and discuss what they are thankful for. There will be many answers, but nearly all will be different. If you were called upon to tell what you were thankful for. what would you say? Many of the answers would be something like this: plenty of clothes; a way provided so that I may come to school; food and shelter; a turkey for my Thanksgiving dinner; money for a show once a week and many other trivial things which may seem important to us. But it seems to me that we have overlooked one of the gifts that has been granted us, and that is the gift of citizenship. This gift brings to us a chance to play whatever part we choose In the welfare of our community The opportunity to do our little part toward bettering our community life is no small blessing. It is a privilege for which to thank God. We are living in an age when a civic consciousness is bringing to the country parks and playgrounds, better living conditions, improving education, and similar other blessings. As young people, let us thank God anew for the gift of citizenship and the opportunity it gives us for helpful, constructive service to our neigh- bors. If we have not been aroused as yet by this blessing, let us thank God that the chance to help still awaits us. and to make up for lost time, let us make efforts count for betterment.—B. K. Buy Christmas Seals Fight Tuberculosis While you are asleep tonight, two people will die of tuberculosis in Michigan. What Is even more Important to you. during the next week three people of your own age will be claimed by tuberculosis. I ast year, in Michigan, it was first with death for persons of high school age. Fortunately, by the use of the tub- erculin skin test and X-ray examin- ations, both used extensively In Mich- igan by the Michigan Tuberculosis Association, thousands of cases of the disease are being discovered early in their development and treat- ed. Science has proven thatMt Is both preventable and curable. The money to carry on this fight against tuberculosis is provided by the sale of Christmas seals at a penny each. This sale, which begins on Thanksgiving day, gives you the opportunity to place these seals on your Christmas packages and letters, to help in the war on tuberculosis— your greatest enemy.

Do not feel disappointed if you do not win at the start, because there are other chances in boxing, wrestling, indoor and track. Let's see you out at the next interclass game cheering for your individual teams.—T. B. TRADE MARK One of the oldest and still one of the most popular fads around Charlotte high school is the intriguing art of leaving ones trade marks on prominent places about the building. Walls, desks, tables or any other suitable surface are well udorned with names, initials, or brain waves. Maybe these are the results of real patriotic effort to leave a name In Charlotte high school, hut they prove to be rather detrimental to the appearance of our school. Surely there are better ways of attracting favor than by the use of this ancient standby. Honest efforts are always well repaid hut pencil marks do not re- quire much energy nor show much thought. Various groups have labored against this ever present evil but have strived in vain. The only hope of success is for every student to squelch the impulse to decorate the building. Let's all stop and think of the result before we test our pencils or knives on the wall or on the desk.—-M. S.

HORSE FALLS VICTIM OF ICE On the evening of November 7. the snow began to fall for the first time in the winter of '34. At first it flutter- ed down lightly, then it fell heavier until in the morning. The ground and all surrounding objects were under a blanket of snow. It seemed very beautiful to all the people of the communities. To the men it stood for the beginning of several months of rest from tilling the soil and less work in the office; to the women it stood as the end of the canning sea- son; uud to the children It stood for long days and evenings of sliding down hills, skating, and wading deep snow banks. But does this snow seem beautiful to everyone? Especially dumb ani- mals? As I wus on my way to action! the morning after this first snowfall. I was commenting on its beauty as were many others. But the comments soon stopped when 1 approached a group of people gathered around a dark object in the street. Upon com- ing nearer. 1 recognized the old horse that I had noticed as I came to school each morning and I had christened Ben . This poor thing had carried mail to the citizens of Charlotte for many years and now he lie panting in the street, unable to ; rise. He looked from one person to another as If to say. “Won't someone please help me? I continued on my way. but after inquiring at the stable. I learned that Ben had fractured his leg and if the wound did not heal satisfactory, poor Ben would have to be killed. Snow, after all is beautiful, and people get much enjoyment from it. But it is too bad that some of the older stock of people and a great number of our animal friends have to suffer injuries and perhaps death, by slipping on streets made icy by pack- ed snow. ROOSTER, DOG DOESN’T MIX Billy, a little white rooster, found himself in a very uncomfortable pre- dicament when Newtie attempted to play ring-around-rosy with him. Newtie Is a mischievous cocker spaniel puppy possessing a large supply of surplus energy. When he came to live in the family. Billy, who had always considered himself the center of attraction, became very jealous. He showed his disapprove! of the newcomer by fastening his beak in the long hair on the dog's ears whenever he came in contact with him. As Newtie was very young and Inexperienced he knew nothing to do but yelp frantically and pull in the opposite direction. As be grew older he developed more self confidence. One day he was finishing his food when Billy strolled up chal- lengingly. By some mysterious man- ner Newtie” got the gentleman by the tall. Poor Billy had a hard time turning, and at the same time retain- ing his balance as Newtie” whirled him about on his joyful prance around a circle about five feet in dia- meter. Billy was so glud to be released with all his tail that ) •• (i.i .Iv-ri-M to retreat, and let the spaniel's ears alone.

CHARLOTTE TRIMS EATON RAPIDS 7-0 Locals Enjoy First Victory After Three Straight Grid Defeats Charlotte high grldder had their prayers answered Armistice Day, when they trimmed their ancient ri- vals Eaton Kaplds. 7-0. Thi was the local first victory over Eaton Kaplds since 1929. The Orange and Black played head up bull ull during the game and de- served to win. In the opening minutes Charlotte had the ball within the Maroons' ten yard line. The Maroon however came to life and held the local and lost the ball on down� . Every time the Eaton Kapids grid- ders tried runs the Orange and Black’s forward line smothered the play before It had time to get started. The first half proved uneventful for either team, although Charlotte was getting the best of the play. After the half Eaton Kapids came back strong and went to the Orange and Black 30 yard line before the local could stop their unslaughter. The third quarter, the first and only time that Eaton Kapid penetrated into Charlotte territory. With the fourth quarter opening Charlotte had pos- session of the ball on the 50 yard strip. Dewey on an end run pick- ed up eight yard then Cheney on a reverse made six more and after many short and steady gains Char- lotte had the ball on Eaton Kapids 15 yard line, first down. Smith on the next play started on an off tackle play, cut back over center then re- versed hi field and scramperod across the goal line. Dewey plunged off tackle for the extra point and victory.

East Lansing went through the season without being scored on. up-1 holding their record of the la� t � lx- teen games. The Trojan record of four victories and one tie game was made good for the title beyond dis- pute when Eaton Kapids wa beaten, 7 to 0. by their old rival Charlotte. Armistice Day. Howell was taken In- to camp to the tune of 26 to 0 by East Lansing, tied twice, and can hardly make any strong claim on the title. Grand Ledge eked out u 7 to 6 victory over Mason in the third final game of the season. An argument, which divided con- ference coaches into factions, ha apparently been brought to an end by the official action of secretary Swank in dropping Hastings from the conference. Hastings was the only Little Seven team which East Lan- sing did not play, and now the Barry county team has been dropped from the conference.

For several years he has been the yearly visitor of student assemblies, boys' camps and industrial fields. As he is an authority on present day oc- cupations. he gave several instances where new kinds of jobs will be need- ed, in the future, for instance a job in city planning where the side walks will be above the streets, so that peo- ple would be out of the way of the traffic.

JUNIOR ACTORS TO APPEAR FOR LAST SHOWING TONIGHT Humor, Suspense, Thrills; Make-up Traditional Performance According to comments heard from general directions, the junior play, A Paragraph for Lunch.” was very successful. I ast night a capacity crowd attended the production and as big a crowd is expected tonight The stage setting of the play is as follows: First act—Living room of a house in an unsettled condition; a family is Just moving in and is ex- pecting company. Second act—Same living room arranged into a broad- casting studio for business advertis- ing. Third act—The same living room. In this act the artists have to de- cide what to do with their future lives. In this decision rests the idea of the whole play. Miss Stewart states that the actors are playing the parts with realism. Peggy Chandler plays her part of a self important society leader with reality. Edward Houghtaling. her hus- band. apparently henpecked, does a nice job of being a big business man. Karl Keefer, who protrays the part of Peggy's dumb and sleepy nephew, who is trying to learn the business, also takes his bow. Virginia Raidle, poet; Harwood Smith, painter; Dwight Durner. author, and Leora Phillips, newspaper reporter, are peppy young people full of self con- fidence and ideas. They furnish the romance and the action of the play. Katheryn Stringham is the stem sec- retary whose big problem Is to see that Karl says the right thing in the right place. Thelma Burns the pub- lisher’s wife brings out the title of the play. Virginia Paine as the maid. Burt Walker as the carpenter and Wendell Moore, the carpenter’s son. are examples of sturdy, independent servants and are determined not to let Peggy put anything over on them. Between acts the High School or- chestra played and featured several trios and solos, under the direction of Mr. HUderbrnnt.

Jesus, who lived and died for us, was born in a manger in Beth- leham on this day. His father. Joseph, and mother. Mary, had traveled many days and when they reached the town there was no room in the hotel so they had to sleep in the cow stables. That evening Jesus was born and God put a star in the heavens to guide the three wise men and the shep- herds to him. Many lovely gifts were brought by the visitors and placed at the Christ child’s feet and that is why we give gifts today. We show our love and thankfulness for Christ by giving at Christmas time. It is better to give than to receive. Why not think about this when we do our Christmas shopping and see how many people we can make happy with our few pennies. Some little child has a quarter and he makes it go so far as to make lots of people happy at Christmas. He seems to bo able to make It go around.” so why don’t we try? Just think of all the families that will be without on Christmas and see if there isn't some one little thing we can do to help them and make them happy. If we only stop to think, there are so many things we can do and with such little effort. So let’s try to have everyone happy at Christmas as Jesus would want us to. Help one another and make them happy.”—M. E. X. Can You Imagine? Esther Zanger—without a smile. Marshall Griffith—with a girl (steady at that). Gladys Spotts—with a frat” ring. Kay Shepherd—when she is not bored. Joe Frace—with a fresh- shave. Jane Norris—with curly hair. Wilbur Fast—taking Martha Peters to the show. Kent Campbell—without his freck- les. Johnathan Stutzman—in glasses. Arlo Hammond—wearing his heart on the outside. Evelyn Hawk—with short hair. around the school, about something. When it isn’t the teacher. Its the stu- dents. when it isn't the working con- ditions. or school spirit, it’s the school itself—mostly the last. You may not believe it but the way we treat our school property has a lot to do with whether or not some time in the future we hare a better school and more and better tools to work with. Take our library in the school, for instance. It’s very incomplete and poor but It’s a big help when the walk to the city library seems too far away. Oh yes. and let’s cooperate with the librarians in charge each hour, and bring the books and paste back at the end of the hour in the same shape you borrowed It. In this way perhaps we can have a better library.—E. T. BRILLIANT BOY USES BRAINS Our hopes for a new school build- ing were high the other day when Duane Burton dropped a match in a bunch of papers while looking for his pen. Duane was at a loss as to what he should do. When the flames began to shoot high in the air he grabbed a pail and got four or five cups of water in it and threw this on the flames, hut to no avail. At this Duane was fast becoming worried so he grabbed his trusty pail again and ran irom the second story of the building to the boys’ locker room, and when he came back the pail was nicely filled to within about a hair’s breudth of the brim, but while Duane was getting nowhere by running after water, one of the boys with him took a small fire extinguisher off the wall nearby and had the ruging inferno in hand when the excited Mr. Burton retui ned to the scene of the blaze. A smell of rubber hung upon the air and they finally decided that it was Duane’s pen. as it could not be found among the ruins. | Christmas j | Epistles | Dearest Santa: Pleze bring Hubert a new car for Xmas so us could go to I ansin when we want to.

Feb- ruary the 9th is the lucky date for the Journalism class to offer all the thrills and fun of a carnival. Laughter and groans from the aide shows, the noise of anxious people, sweet tones of music, and the cries of wild animals will give all the ex- citement of a carnival. At 7:30 the wild man from Africa will be calmed so that people may see him if they wish to take a chance. Ex- pert fishermen may sit on the bank of the Crazy River to try their luck. If your heart Is weak, don't attempt to enter the dungeon with its cold damp floor, and ghosts who haunt you Did you pet him? Wasn't he good looking? This will be the clamor of the people who go to see the most at- tractive living being. He has beauty and charm. The girls will be thrilled by the expression of those large blue eyes beaming at them. At 9:30 a main show will be given in the high room. Mr. Chapelle will crown the high school queen who will be elected by ballots to be published in the paper soon. A one act play will be given by the Journalism class. Dancing girls and orchestra music will also be a part of the program. CN THE WAY Student mixer tomorrow night (Let's all be there). January 26.

We know where they should be and that is on the bleachers cheering for good old C. H S. There is no longer any danger of getting your clothes all white off the walls, because they are now painted and not white washed. We have a good team this year and they are continually drilling to be , better. With our support they will win honors for school. Basket ball is the cheapest and cleanest evening’s entertainment there is. All that one has to do is to keep that nickle-a-week paid up and you are admitted to all home games. As the team would say. Come down and see us sometime.” SHOOING THF BL1FS Don’t be cross or blue Cause other people will be that way too!” Did you ever stop to think that the attitude you take toward your subjects, classmates and teachers reflects on you? If you feel down hearted and cross yon think your teacher is very severe and your subject� are very difficult. But if you only had little reflectors that look down inside of you, you would find it yourself. If you keep being cross other people catch it. Blues are very catching. Days you feel cheerful and happy things run smoothly. So let s shoo the blues away and forget the clouds and make the sun shine. FLASH OF COLOR STREAKS BOYS Roys! They laugh at the girls for using lipstick, powder, and rouge; they taunt the girls when they proud- ly exhibit new dresses, shoes, hats, and coats; they sneer at girls for carrying hankies, and compacts, and other feminine things that are dear to the opposite sex. But there is •‘always a nigger in the fence some- where.” During this month following Christ- mas vacation, somewhere around two hundred ninety-nine new compacts were to be seen nearly any hour of the day, flashing around the high room. These compacts were presented to the girls by loving parents, broth ers. sisters, sweethearts, and friends. There were green ones red ones, pink ones, black ones in fact any color one could wish for. Girls were gath- ered in groups discussing the various articles. But in almost every group there was to be seen a boy! Y'es. a| boy who laughed at girls for carry- ing the things. One boy was heard to say. My isn’t that cute? How does It open? I’d like to smell that powder again.” It has been suggested by many of the girls that the boys should be given compacts next year for Christ- inas or even for their birthday if it happens to come first. Then the hinges won’t be worn out on theirs by l elng opened so much and admired by the bovs. Boys, aren’t you asham- ed?

The week before exams Is always used for peaceful study and review, and by the time exams come around we are so exhausted we are unable to remember all the facts and figures. . „ The last of a semester is always a dread, because of the exams, but alter they are over, what a relief It Is. especially if we get good marks. So let’s not cram the last few weks but do our lesons dilligently and see how much better we feel. Just look around and see all the broken romances. Who’s the guilty one? BOOKS FOR YOU TO READ r---- � I I I I---------------- •'Adventure' by Caweth Wells. At last, a travel book that you’ll actually enjoy reading, even though it's not for a book report. This volume is. in reality, a sum- mary of Carveth Wells’ most advent- urous adventures in the Malay jungle. Africa, and elsewhere. It Is written In highly entertaining style, humorous yet with the full essence of truth. Mr Wells, it has been claimed, is one of those few who can make the truth sound like a lie (usually It Is the exact reverse), simply because the truth itself is so extraordinary that no one would accept it as fact. He tells you (perfectly legitimately, since his observations have been sub- stantiated by leading scientists nnd naturalists) of birds that sleep up- side down, fish that climb trees, of a species of bird, the female of which lays the eggs and then retreats to let Four year old—Daddy, do you know the male sit upon them until they hatch. Interwoven throughout the main structure of the book are exciting stories of very unusual encounters with lions, snakes, wild boars, tigers and elephants, in the major part of which Mr. Wells himself played an Important role while the rest con- cer-s other people, whose stories he had heard first hand or had picked up from characters familiar to that part of the world in which he was travel- ing. this Is but a very small part of the interesting and thrilling ac- counts in Adventure”. So If you are reluctant about start- ing your travel report, (or merely have nothing to do but read) try this one and see how engrossed you can become in such a book—and don’t fight over It!

Floors Seem to Break People While having Glee Club” one day. Mrs. Wildern sits down to play an ac- companiment when all of a sudden the girls laughed. Upon regaining her poise, she finds that the piano stool has refused to hold her and she is seated on the floor. Recovering from her humiliation she suddenly ex- claims. Girls, I think It very unlady like to laugh. Why. I might have hurt myself seriously. In fact. I'm not so sure but what I did.” She regains her feel and at that moment one of the girls sneeze. She jumps a little and then demands. Do you furnish towels with your shower bath? This was too much for the girls and they left the class In an uproar. Galant Seniors ’39 Prophecy E.

No. replies Katrinta. You have too much water I in the radiator.” That may be so.’’ said the big tall bay. and It froze , thus making the radiator heavier. There we have the conclusion and let us not bother our busy heads further. So saying, they continued their merry w ay.

Physical examinations are given to the students of the city and the rural schools; vaccinations are given to those who need them; dentist's and doctor's bills are paid for; de- fective eyes and feet are corrected and other things too numerous to mention. We all seem to be aware of the fact that such things are go.ng on. but I’m afraid that too many of us fall to show our appreciation. Miss Burghdorf. our teacher-nurse, stands for helpfulness and kindness. She will not send any of us home if it is not necessary. She Is well versed on sickness and diseases and is spending her time in keeping them from spreading. It seems that we should all do our share and help her in her splendid work by co-operating. So let us all stop and think before we endanger other students. And re- member—the only thing the teacher-nurse usks for is “co-operation. A GOOD OR POOR REPRESENTATION A school is known largely by the teams and the type of paper that it puts out. The Orange and Black represents Charlotte high school. It goes into over five hundred local homes, as well as schools in many other cities, towns, and states. These schools and many homes base their opinion of Charlotte high upon the paper, for they have no other way of knowing us. There- fore we want the Orange and Black to be our best representative. We are trying to make It such, but we need the hearty co-operation of every student, officer, and faculty member of the entire school. It's your paper. It repre- sents you, and you must feel that it Is. If you know of news sources tell us about them. When reporters come to you for news, if you are an officer of a class or organization, or faculty member be courteous to them. Give them as much information as you are able. If you know of someone who can supply additional news refer him to them. I'm sure the reporters will appreciate It. and our school paper will be a better representative of all of us. | BOOKS FOR YOU TO READ j One of the fine and wholesome Itooks of the month is the novel entitled “As the Earth Turns ', by Gladys Hasty Carroll. The book weaves itself around the life of a plain farmer family in Maine, consisting of four girls and five boys besides the step-mother and father. One of the problems presented is the arrival of a foreigner and his family intending to make their living on a farm. A peddler, the same stock as the foreigner, arrives at about the same time. The peddler is accepted by the farmers of that community, while the foreigner is looked down upon. This reminds us of our own foreign problem. This book shows the l eautlful understanding between a step-mother and a daughter. It has a tine sense of humor as well. It also shows that the author associated with people and could analyze them correctly. As the Earth Turns is a very interesting book, and it would be well worth your time to read It. Many of the faculty have been reading the book Forgive Us Our Trcs- j passes. This is a story of a small boy who was born to hatred. He was terribly bitter against the world that had crushed his too-trusting mother. He went to college and was a typesetter, reporter, columnist and foot- i ball star. But this good luck couldn't last forever. He was expelled from school because he blackened the eyes of the college Y. M. C. A. secretary in defense of the college president. This seemed only to have given him a i chance to use his bitter pen to some advantage. A change, however, appeared In the boy's life. His bitterness left him after finding and reading a letter written by his mother on her death bed. He had found a happiness which he had never known before because he followed the creed Granting Forgiveness” which he found In his mother s message. YOUR BAUDOT FOR (’. II. S.

I guess some of the pansies started to wilt and Mr. Dykhouse believes that a pound of prevention is better than a pound of cure. The early part of last week you saw girls running around from class to class with fur coats and every other make of coat in order to keep warm in the frigid temperature. Mr. Jay—no not a blue jay. It Isn't time for them yet. but Mr. Jay Dykhouse —asked Madaline Mitchell in civics class if she were cold. Imuglnc that! You see he had a perfectly good rea- son.

Physics Class Gains Knowledge That raising the temperature of confined steam increases the pressure was accidentally discovered by a member of the physics class during laboratory period several days ago. Me inuring the coefficient of expan- sion of metal rods wnn the experiment being tried at the time. This young physicist carefully meas- ured the rod and enclosed it in a steam-jacket. He filled the steam boiler about half full of water and inserted the stopper securely in the top. Then placing a bunsen burner under the boiler he connected the de- livery tube to the steam-jacket and stood by to await results. The tem- perature arose but no steam Issued from the outlet tube of the jacket. What was the trouble? He waited several seconds longer, but still no steam came out of the tube. The temperature was already above the boiling point of water. “I must in- vestigate. he said. Pop! Boom! Bang! S-s-s-ssss! His laboratory manuel went sailing across the room. Five other surprised stu- dents at various tables dropped their books and looked from one to the other in wide eyed astonishment as a shower of hot water rained upon them. What happened?” “Anybody hurt? cried Mr. Anderson, who had been out in the hall at the time of the explo- sion. The boiler. someone finally gasped, It — It blew up. I don't see how that could have happened. said Mr. Anderson as he began In vestigatlng the situation. Why. you’ve had the stopper below the outlet tube. he said, no steam could get out of the holler. You ha 1 it all confined in this little boiler and kept Increasing the temperature. Don’t you know that the pressure in- creases very rapidly with an Increase in temperature? Y'es. indeed, everyone knew it now for they had clearly seen It demon- strated. As for the coefficient of expansion we’ll penult you to ask the experimenter himself about that. Whether or not he regained enough courage to try it again is a secret. OIC ANGF A HI M K CHARLOTTE PLAYS EATON RAPIDS February 16, Chirlotte will play basket bail with Katon Rapids at Katon Rapids.

Some seventy seniors are now beginning the last lap of a four-year Journey. This Journey has been composed of hardships. Joys, sorrows, disap- pointments. new friends, enemies, in fact, every item that goes to make up life. Some have enjoyed every minute of its existence, while others say they have disliked it very much. Nevertheless, it Is ending and many of us will dread to see them go as much as they hate to go. Years ago. after being turned out into the world with a signed piece of paper, called a diploma, in one hand. It was considered the height of knowl- edge and seemed mere play to locate a Job. Perhaps the Job brought in a small amount of money, but it was something to do. Now one leaves high school with a slip of paper in his hands. It doesn't seem to be worth the ink which Is on It. One has to go to college to receive a good paying Job and there is no money with which to go on. There doesn’t seem to be much to look forward to. but there is the memory of high school life to look back upon. The teachers who have helped to shape the lives of so many. The friends and classmates who have played nearly as an important part as the teachers. So here is just a suggestion to all the lower classmen and those who have not entered Charlotte high school yet. Make the most of your high school days as they are few. Take all the advantages that education has to ofTer you in any form. You will need all you can get for future years.—B. K. LETS l� 0 AS HE SHOULD. What is our frame of mind when we enter the class room? I)o we feel at ease because we have our lesson ready or are we afraid for fear the teacher will ask us a question we can’t answer? The latter is in the mind of the majority of students, and with that atmosphere in a class room no one is going to have a good lesson nor feel at ease during the hour. Some, when called on. say that they don’t know and let it go at that, but when the teacher loses his temper and gets cross about it the pupils shrink back and perhaps begin to cry. Now that really isn’t the way to feel about the matter and we should all have more self control. If you go to class pre- pared. you will most likely be able to meet the requirements, but if you are not say so. and then If a scolding comes, take It on the chin and try to do better next time. The teachers never like to get cross and they only do because the stu- dents are not considerate, they think of no one but themselves. They say. Well. If I don’t have my lesson. It won’t hurt the teacher any!’’ and go to class In that frame of mind Naturally the Instructor becomes angry and says things that hurt our feelings but we only ask for them so what can we expect? A teacher likes to have a class all prepared ns well as we like to go unprepared, so why not please the teacher once and do as we really should? Maybe, you'll find out that in the long run it pays because you've got to learn it sometime or you won’t be able to pass. So let's get it the first time and keep the teachers in good humor as well as ourselves. How about it?— M E. N. HIH YOU TAKE THE TEST! Early to bed. early to rise, nukes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Health is the keynote to success because without it you are helpless to succeed. Miss Flora Burghdorf. our teacher-nurse, and the Kellogg Foundation co- operating with the Michigan Tuberculosis Association are interested in the individual health of each student. This has been proven in the steps taken to protect our students from that dreaded disease commonly called T. B. with the hope that all would take advantage of the opportunity offered them. There were about thirty students out of five hundred fifty who did not respond to this chance. Those who took the test know where they stand but the few who did not will not be free from the thought that if they had taken it they would have known if they were free from the disease. Fellow students, let’s all co-operate with the school nurse in procuring health education.—R. S.

For some It brings heart- aches because the boy friend forgets to bring a Valentine. But for others, oh. what a happy day! Saint Valentine came this year with a bright smile upon his face. The sun shone brightly and the weather was unusually warm. Two of our school day sweethearts sat in their usual seat gazing at each other. He was waiting for the clock to strike twelve. ; She was waiting for well, you can | guess! At about three minutes to j the fatal hour, a crash came from the back section of the high room. All the country boys and girls who eat their lunch at school, rushed to the scene of the accident. There, to their surprise, lay a bleeding, broken heart surrounded with millions of little red candy hearts. The box. It Reemed, had slipped from the ’’Romeo's’ sweat- er and it fell to the floor with a thud. The spectators quickly looked about , And the owner of the box. Their eyes were caught by a figure making his exit through the door, his green sweater and his red face looking like Merry Christmas.” And poor Vera! Just another added to the millions of broken hearts! Husband (going into butcher shop): Have you any rabbits that you can sell me? Butcher: No. but we have some nice sausage. Husband: Well how can 1 tell my wife that I shot a sausage? (The American Girl) “GUESS WHO” 1 He is a tall angling fellow and is always walking into the high room about ten or fifteen minutes late. He has black hair, sparkling eyes, and is an exceedingly bright student in his own line. It is with difficulty that the writer could ascertain what grade he is in so we’ll leave that to the reader. P. S. Dykhouse calls him office boy. 2 She must have come from a family of debaters because she is nlways arguing. She is tall with dark wavy hair and is very often seen keeping company with a local shoe salesman. She is a very good Htudent and gets her share of the A’s and B’s mostly through her talkative talent. 3 Having just arrived at this building this semester doubtless many stu- dents do not know him. but in some way or other they soon will. He has very dark curly hair, a dark complex- ion but a sunny disposition. He is just an eighth grader and is Inclined toward mischief which we hope he will outgrow. We predict that you will hear more about this young man in the future. 4 This country’ girl is very popular with others in her class and in the other classes. She is a senior possess- ing a talent of getting good marks from the teachers by her looks or hook or crook. Standing a little bit over five feet tall, quite plump, dark brown hair and brown eyes she is a picture of robust health and a domi- nating personality. This girl also has a way of making people think she is busier than she really is. Watch her sometime. 6 What was that terrific noise In the high room? Don’t get het up sister, it was a very small fellow clearing his voice in assembly preparatory to one of his jungle remembrances. One look at this personification you think he is Just ns thick as he is tall and just as wide as he is thick. He is a genial fallow and makes friends easily with anyone he meets. His hair is inclined to the perpendicular but otherwise he is quite a handsome fel- low. Answers in the next issue. Present History of Former Grads Ned Nelson. 31, is now attending Olivet college.

ORANGE A BLACK CHARLOTTE FIVE TRIM ISLANDERS QUINTET 26-19 Local Cagcrs Score Second Victory Over Ancient Rivals This Year Charlotte's victory over Raton Rap- ids at Raton Rapids was mainly due to Don Smith who made 16 of the points that Charlotte received in their 26-1« victory. By winning this game Charlotte tightened their grip on third place and is hut one game from second place. The Orange and Black quintet hus beaten Raton Rapids twice this year by scores of 20-19 in an overtime period and 26-19 in the encounter of the 16th.

In the second quarter the Orange and Black outpointed and outplayed the Muroon and Gray, making 7 points while Raton Rapids was making a lone basket. In the last half Charlotte played ex- ceedingly well making fourteen points and playing airtight defense so that Eaton Rapids made hut 6 points. Sparks and Smith received honors for Charlotte, while Barnett and Page starred for Raton Rapids. Charlotte has been beaten by Mason.

The Orioles kept up this pace in the second period by adding nine more points and holding the invaders to three points. The Orange and Black led IS to 5 at the half way mark. The Orioles scoring machine let down in the last half and scored only 10 points while Hastings gathered 6 more to their credit.

Mason and Rast I ansing have fin- ished the Little Six conference basket t ail season in a dead lock for the championship The defending Trojans, beaten twice by the County Seat five, buried Grand I edge deeper in the cellar by romping to a 34 to 4 victory last Fri- day night. This lop-sided triumph was especial- ly sweet to the East l anslng fol- lowers because the Trojans have run into a defeat in their final game of the season with the Ledgers for the past two years. Mason's two defeats were handed to them by Raton Rapids and Charlotte. Charlotte's holding down runner up iwsition with six victories and three defeats, their set-backs were handed to them by Mason and two by East I ansing. Eaton Rapids broke even this year, winning five and losing five. It looks very probable that Howell and Grand Ledge will finish in a tie for the cellar imsition, each have only won one game. Juniors and Seniors Lead in Interclass Interclass basket ball finds the Juniors in the lead having won four games. The seniors are runners up with three games to their credit, and the freshmen take the back seat hav-l ing won only one game so far.

All those features that warm the cokles of your enter- tainment sense into one were shown in the assembly by the Mardonis. Mardoni, the miraculous, kept the students on the edge of their seat as he deAed ropes, chains and handcuffs. Securely bound before their eyes, this young mystery man escaped before they could say the proverbial Jack Robinson ! How can they do It? was the quest- ion that was Aoating around the school after Mardoni and Madame Mardoni picked things out of space in their world famous magic act. Everyone had to keep their thoughts wholesome as they sat in the audi- torium or Mardoni would reveal some breathtaking thoughts as he read their minds. These two entertainers have travel- ed all over to fascinating schools, clubs, and colleges. In their work they leave food for much discussion In the Aeld of metophyslcs. Mr. Dykhouse stated it was the most thrilling and amazing show ever staged in Charlotte high school. It was unique in that it thoroughly cov- ered three Aelds of entertainment, not a dull moment in the show, something Indeed was doing every minute. This was the fourth lyceum number [this year.

PASSING NOTES Every hour in the study hall several notes are passed from one i er on to another, thrown down the aisle, or tossed through the air. What value are notes? They usually contain no information except the petty chatter of a date or the school girl gossip. It takes time to write these notes and also it takes notebook paper. Why waste the time and paper? The notes are usually passed on the sly because one teacher sends stu- dents out of the room when seen passing one; another tells the students to pass them from one person to another, but don't throw a note through the air. Another teacher tells the student to quietly speak to a person instead of writing a note, and some hours In the high room people cannot speak with- out permission. What are the students going to do? Puss notes or not pass them?—K. M. RE WE SERIOUS! As I was listening around in the lower hall one day I heard a peculiar noise, like a swarm of bees. Much to my surprise 1 found a couple of eighth graders and what do you suppose that they were talking about? You could never guess so I will tell you. One said. I hope that Easter Bunnie lays some nice eggs in my pretty little basket, or else I hope I And a lot of little bunnies in my basket.” Another said. I hope that I can have a new Easter outfit so I can strut on Easter morning.” But as we see Easter approaching Is that the attitude most of us have? Just a day for dressing and having the Easter rabbit paying yon a visit, or do we look upon the day with reverent, sacred attitude? Do we take that day. as a holiday and for pleasure? Easter Sunday may we all be in our places at church on time and really think about the incident of why we celebrate the day. Let's be serious and not take it Just as a matter of fact.—E. H. ARE YOU GUILTY ’ Things must come to a show-down sooner or later, so why not now? Are you the guilty one or is it your friend who has been committing these crimes? And you will have to admit that stealing is a crime. Someday when you run out of paper, do you think it is easier to reach into the next desk, ramsack the notebooks and return home with a good share of paper? You may not think thnt is a crime, but it is. That paper didn’t belong to you anymore than it did to me and you have no right to it. When you find a handkerchief in somebody's desk with small change tied in one corner, why don't you leave it there instead of taking it? Wouldn’t your conscience feel much better if you used your own money to go to the| show or to buy some candy instead of using stolen cash.” Then there is the kind of people who harbor grudges and get their re- venge by stealing. Is that the kind of person who took possession of the senior’s and teacher's biographies? Hours and hours were spent working on those papers, then one day they came up missing and nothing has been seen of them. Put yourself in the place of the writers. Wouldn’t you be glad to get them back? These matters that may seem but trifles to you. are serious. Records of many men in the state penitentiaries have been traced back to small thefts, such as are being committed here in our school. It seems that if the future of a generation depends upon the habits and character developed in one's school days, we should take every precaution to build a true, honest character—one that everyone could be proud of. So. let us begin today.—B. K. Fair Weather Starts in Class — What is this friendship that has sprung up between Mr. Jay Dykhouse | and one of the senior girlB. We have i heard many teachers say.

Guess Who Giggling girls and crowing hens' —well you know the rest of It. We don’t know whether this adage is true but if it is, one senior girl sure will come to some bad end. She is a little over five feet tall, pleasingly plump, dark brown hair, blue eyes, and ban a giggle that rivals that of a hyena � laugh. She Is most always chewing gum and has a habit of making the teachers call her sweet sounding names other than her own. This fellow is tall, has black hair, which he combs straight back, and he also wears glasses His peculiar handicap is making bad breaks in his classes which are very umusing but also causes him much embarrassment. He is quite bulgy around the food warehouse as if he had been indulg- ing in beverages guaranteed to add weight. Al” also has a big'' moment whom he is often seen accompanying. Five foot two. eyes of blue has any- body seen my gal? «This is often spoken by our well known imitator of I’enner whom this girl has a crush on or vice versa). She is a senior, has light brownish hair, fair complexion and is a very good dancer according to general observations at the Student Mixers. Have you ever noticed a fellow who walks like he was going to a fire? If you take particular notice you see that he has black hair, dark eyes, dark complexion, and wears glasses. He is very radical In his ideas and is trying to work up sentiment towards abolishing the marking system thnt the school now functions by. His teachers are sometimes startled at the enormous words he can produce from his colossal vocabulary. , LAST ISSUE'S ANSWERS 1. Gordon ! amoreaux 2. Margaret Norris 3. Charles Bush 4. Betty King 5.

McPeek present- ed a very Interesting s|� eech on the Philippine Islands at the last meeting of the Travel club. Mrs. McPeek was in the Philippine Islands visiting her uncle who was an army officer stationed there during the Spanish American War. She told many interesting customs and habits of the people. Everyone is dressed in w hite because of the tor- rid climate. Whan anyone needs a pair of shoes In the Philippines they go to a shoe cobbler who draws u print of their foot and makes the shoes from this. The greatest pests in these inslands are rats and spiders and every one keps a snake in his attic to get rid of the rats. There are no bathrooms in the house but they have bathhouses on the outside. Spiders are so abundant and large that they have to take a monkey along to eat them, to keep them from eating you. The next meeting of the Travel club will be held tonight at 7:30. Bible Class Sponsor Program at Church Soon The Bl .le students will present, sometime in April, another program at the church, similar to the one put on February 25. The cast will be made up of high school students and there will be an entirely new pro- gram. They are working on this now. Also Mrs. Kilpinger is reading each day a chapter of the Life of Our Lord” by Dickens to her Bible class students. This is to acquaint them with Dickens’ writings and also to further them as to the life of Jesus. The tuberculosis test given to the high school students proved that only five per cent of the students had a positive reaction to the tuberculosis germ. There were seventy per cent of the high school students who took the test, which included the eighth grade and up. The tuberculin teMt is an accurate und safe method of dotermitPng whether a patient Is infected with the tubercle bacillus by rubbing a sub- stance called tuberculin into the skin of the arm. This Is a liquid contain- ing no germs, living or dead: all have been filtered out. Not only is the liquid filtered, but it has been boiled and evaporated until one-tenth of the original amount remaina. It cannot cause any infection. The doctor can ] tell hy the appearance of the skin three to five days after the test whether or not the child has been infected with the germs of tuberculosis. This In- fection Is common in children and if not excessive is of no consequence. In the high school 377 students took this test. Sixty-seven eighth graders took the test and had a ninety- five per cent negative reaction. Ninety- eight freshmen for ninety-eight j� er cent perfect. Eighty-nine sophomores for ninety-six per cent perfect. Sev- enty-one Juniors for ninety per cent perfect; forty-five seniors for ninety- three and four one hundreds per cent perfect and seven post graduates for • ne hundred per cent negative re- action.

Easter Greetings ----------------- Chile Education Uncovers Ours When one meets Mrs. Paul Barn- hart in her home, he is immediately impressed by the original and unique charm of this home which is a per- fect setting for the tiny English- woman. Mrs. Barnhart told the inquiring reporter that she had lived twenty-five years in Chile, after leaving England at the age of nineteen. She taught for a time in a missionary school for girls from kindergarten age to the high school age of about eighteen. She remarked that the girl who grad uates from there Is much more intel- ligent than the American girl who is graduating from high school. The trouble with the Americans, stated Mrs. Barnhart with her fascin- ating accent, is that they think the South Americans Inferior, but they are not. They are much quicker to learn and you hardly ever tind one who speaks less than three languages. I greatly admire the Latins' ability to learn, but I also admire the Amer- ican women's ability to do so many things, such as cook, keep house, sew. I drive a car. dance and many other things. While the South American woman can only sew and speak three or four languages. She never has to do any work for servants may be hired for as little as twenty cents a day. I greatly regret that this is teaching the South Americau woman to be lazy. She nlso said that she thought we ought to teach more of the history of the foreign countries in our schools, because it would arouse our sympathy and understanding for our foreign neighbors, and would also induce more of the young people to visit these countries. I have lived in Chile so much of my life that I almost consider myself one of them. confided Mrs. Barnhart. I ofteu find myself when greatly ex- cited or distressed, speaking their language. I do not speak the language so very well as far as grammar is con- cerned but my English accent was considered more correct by the Latins than my husband’s American accent, although he speaks more perfect grammar. Mrs. Barnhart is a very interesting speaker and she loves to teach boys and girls Especially girls. Good Friend Leaves School William Reno, because of tubercu- losis. has been compelled to leave school and will be a bed patient in the Veteran hospital. Just outside of Bat- tle Creek. He left Charlotte Friday. March 23. to be there until he can be admitted to Howell. Mrs. Kiplinger's Bible class con- tributed a chicken dinner Thursday. March 22, which they took out to his house and made a short visit. Wil- liam was very grateful for all that had been done for him and couldn't say, enough nice things. Louise Raidle ’31 is teaching at the Miller school. POST GRADS TO GIVE ‘CLEPPY FOR SHORT’ IN COUNTRY SCHOOL “We have had some pretty grand times this year. Caryle King informed us upon being asked what the post graduates are doing this year. On Friday. March 16. they had a St. Patrick's day party of which Metta Lee Mann was the hostess. They first attended the nine o'clock show and then returned to Metta Lee's house to enjoy a midnight lunch. The table was decorated with gum drop trees and the members were served refresh- ments on green dishes. The menu consisted of fruit salad, sandwiches, cake, pickles and tea. After eating to their capacity, they danced to the music of Ben Burnie (over the radio). The next psirty is set for March 29. to be held at Donald Sparks'. The members are to come dressed up. al- though masks will probably not be used. They plan to attend the theatre and the lunch will be much the same as at the last party. The play. “Cleppy for Short. writ- ten by Charles Garvey, was present- ed at a Rebekah meeting Tuesday. March 27. and will be produced at the Earl school Friday. March 30. The 20th of April they will perform at Mrs. Bly's school in the country and some time in April will play at the Woodman hall. Charles says that he would like to play at all the country schools, each one giving the players as much as they felt they could, but because of the times it will be impos- sible, for the present at least. COUNCIL NEWS Parents night is planned to be held in the near future. After having some of our classes there will be an enter- tainment given in the auditorium con- sisting of musical numbers presented by the boys and girls glee clubs, band and orchestra. The Student Council is sponsoring the oration and declamation contests this year. A first prize of $2 and 31 for second, will be given to the winner of each contest. Plans are being made for the next mixer which is to be held April. Fri- day. 13. Just think this is a lucky Friday 13 instead of unlucky. It's almost time for the election of officers for next year. You going to be candidates, start making friends early. You’ll need their aid. Now that it's going to get warm some of these days, baseball teams are going to be organized and play in a like manner of the noon basket ball teams The council has accepted an invita- tion from the Albion high school to send three of its members with their faculty adviser to a meeting at which they ure going to discuss plans for the council to carry out. Work for the Junior-Senior prom has already been started, stated Pres- ident Wendell Moore, and the offi- cers met March 9 to discuss the plans further. We are also having a drive for dues and hope to have some out- come from this.

Well that’s Just what will happen if you come to school wearing a nice pair of stretchy” suspenders. You won’t be bothered by anyone” but by most everyone Everybody seems to get a big kick out of pulling the suspender out and then letting it slap against the victims back. This may be great fun for the j erson who thinks he has a big sense of humor, but to the poor being who has to endure this it soon gets very tiresome. There are. however, a few remedies for this which will help to cheat the Joker out of his fun. One or these is to buy suspenders that have no stretch to them. To this there is but one objection and that is that someone, not knowing the quality of the suspender, may attempt to pull It and by doing so too hard may break it. placing the wearer in a very un- usual circumstance. Another good idea is to conceal the necessity, if possi- ble. under a sweater or coat. But finally the best idea of them all Is not to wear any. Wear a belt and be free from worry.—W. W. TIIK (HARHIAN One of the biggest hopes of a senior is the year book. It is perhaps the thing that he looks forward to. It contains all the pictures of his fellow classmates, as well as his teachers He may look back into the past and refresh his mind as to the events he attended during his happiest days— his school days. Not only the seniors look forward to the Charhian. but also the under classmen. It contains the history of the individual classes, pictures, class rolls, etc. It records the sports of the year as well as bound copies of all the Orange and Blacks. The end of the subscription campaign is drawing near. Everybody bring your money, because you will all want to possess this beautiful new book which will come out on June 7.—B. K. DON’T RUSH Every time we have an assembly we see some one rushing. No one per- son can control everyone there, but If everyone would do his part, conditions could be improved. Somehow the enjoyment of a good program stirs up un- civilized emotions, and even the gentlest person may be seen pushing and crowding. If he would be just calm and quiet and wait to get into the assem- bly room everyone could be seated more quickly and peacefully. High school people should know enough to conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen Little do the students realize what the outcome Is of rush- ing. But if they heard the words of some, perhaps they too would have realized that they, as part of the school should pledge themselves to be more careful. Co-operation Is the best method and it should be used here - M. S. Why does Mr. E. H. Chapelle persist in wearing a blue shirt with a red tie? It has been rumored he has a new suit to accompany the shirt. We have noticed that Coach Barnhill is now riding to football practice while the C. H. S. students walk Has married life done this—so soon. What About You! Many of us have heard the lines connecting your birthday on certain days of the week. Anybody can hit a day of the week but can you hit one of these? Born on— New Year’s day—to govern the year. Lincoln's birthday—to be a great person and ambitious. Valentine—fond of the opposite sex (heart) romantic dispontlon. Washington’s birthday—we’ll never tell a lie and will become a great leader.

Thanksgiving—fond of eating but thankful for a big appetite. Christmas—have much love, like to give. Well, my word, this school certain- ly is going to the dogs. Imagine kiss- ing a girl right here in study hall with 200 students looking on. And say. was her face red? She had to take it, though. It seemed to be the only possible thing to do. Mr. Hennlnk came In just in time to rescue the charming maiden from the caresses of the horrible villain. How did he do it? He took him by the back of his neck and tossed him out the door. Now boys, how would you like to court u daughter of his? Snarls, barks and growls rent the peaceful atmosphere of study hall, for, being a dog. he had no idea that he should be quiet in school. Mr. Hennlnk received a great hand of applause for his heroic deed when he returned to the room. The poor dog. evidently, prefers to show his affection outside study hall now. Anyway, he hasn't been back. What is this 1 hear? Bob Bryan with a black eye and he doesn’t seem to know where he' got it. LAST ROUND UPS GUESS WHO?

Senior of 1934 Passes Away in Battle Creek Members of the faculty, students and friends were shocked and sadden- ed to hear of the sudden death of William Reno, a member of this year's graduating class. William, who had contracted tuber- culosis, was taken to the American Legion hospital in Battle Creek, but owing to the advanced stage of the disease, medical aid was of no avail. He passed away March 30. He was much Interested In chemis- try and biology, his one desire was to be a veternarian. He owned a large collection of valuable instruments, drugs and textbooks pertaining to that profession. He was also interested in philosophy and took advantge of every opportunity to study it. For five years he was in the employ of the Behrens and Rowe drug store where he conscientiously performed every duty assigned him. Although he was sometimes misunderstood, he was loyal and always tried to do what he thought was right. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. ‘T cannot say. and I will not say That he is dead.—He is just away! With a cheery smile, and wave of the hand. He has wandered into an unknown land. Think of him still as the same. I say: He is not dead—he is just away. COUNCIL STATES ‘ALL MAY VOTE' The election this year will be held ] May 11. the caucus being May 10.

Rest of Journullsm Clues IM) IT OX PAPER It seems that we have quite a few artists in our school. Of course if you have any artistic ability, we are glad to see it. but not where some people put it. If you will notice our desks you will see all kinds of designs, figures, and names written upon them. This may be amusing to you, but we will grant that you wouldn't do such a thing to your own furniture, so why do it to other peoples? It not only makes the desks look bad but it hinders the one using it. The grooves and holes in the desk are not very easy to write j over, some of the tops closely resembling a wash board. So if you must draw or scribble please do so on a piece of paper, and if there is no special reason for doing it. you will find it Just ns easy to put the time and energy- on something more useful.—W. W. SPRING IS ACTUALLY HERE Birds come here from the South to build their homes, the bulbs of flowers rise from their winter sleep, and Ice in the stream melts and floats away. The roads get muddy and when cars pass through a mud puddle they sometimes stop and sink to the running board. These are signs that spring is here. The girls wear their summer dresses, people roller skate, the stores sell ankle socks, and the girls have their hair cut. These are some more signs that spring is here. Old man winter comes along to surprise people. Things freeze up and the air is filled with snow flakes once again. Is winter coming to stay? Oh no. winter is only playing April fool with us. This reminds us of the saying If winter comes again, spring is not far behind. WHY THE GRAPEVINE TELEGRAPH I Why do all of us start sending messages by the grapevine telegraph as soon as we arrive at the schoolhouse and the last bell has finished calling everyone to work? I think if we would co-operate more with our teachers we would have a better school reputation, and a smaller per cent of us would have to go down and see Mr. Jay Dykhouse. Miss Winifred Wells said at the closing of the first hour one morning. I'm sure that all the teachers today will have quiet rooms because everyone has talked so much the first hour. When we were partially allowed to pass notes, some of us tore them up and gave the remains a resting place on the floor, and that goes to show that when we do have something we Just are not satisfied with it. So let's do more studying and stop bothering the ones who want to study.—J. Q. Who knows what the word is that Eleanore Toutant wanted to use at the end of her speech in the debate held April 6? 7 YAM WHAT I YAM’ PROVES GOOD THOUGHT, IF USED RIGHTLY Did you ever say to yourself I can't do it now, but if I had time. I could. or If I were rich , or any number of other excuses for doing or not doing a certain thing? Of course you have, we all hare. We say, What's the use. I can’t be pretty my eyes are green, my hair is red and my mouth Is so big it opens my whole face, now if I were like Susy . While all of the time we could think, My hair is red but its sort of wavy, my mouth Is large but I could keep It closed more, my eyes are green but I could wear more becom- ing shades. Yes. we all can make more of ourselves If we only sort of analyze ourselves we would find more than we knew we possessed. We don't mean that you should never be satisfied or that you should always be unambitious. A’ou should want more experience and greater knowledge. Never use your environment as an excuse for your own deficiencies. Just be yourself, and live life as well as you can in the place ih which you happen to find yourself at the time. If you want something very much, re- member that almost anything can be done If you have desire enough and faith enough.” Keep the little thought in your mind and it will help you. Do not shrug and murmur, If— Smile and say. I’ll try, Do not meet your future with An alibi— Greet the world with upflung head, With a gallant grace: Say— I’ll do my very best. In my place. Why Are Humans Superstitious? Are you superstitious? How many people ever stop for a short time and ask themselves the question? I have reason to believe that the answer j would be positive. Superstition repre- sents a phrase in the history of think- ing. The most difficult art that a man has learned is the art of reasoning. One remedy for superstitious think- ing is scientific reasoning. Supersti-1 tions reflect on attitude of mind, a way of thinking about the happenings and relations of the world, the men- tal habit (days an important part in every human s life. Science has el.mi- uated many superstitions by their scientific proofs. Strange and unac- countable happenings cause uneuse- ness of mind while understanding makes for mental adjustment. After man has been shown he becomes at home in the world and to some extent prepares him and controls his fate. In years gone by people thought that events occurred for their per- sonal significance. Storms were re- garded as the revenge of an offended god. In this mood man turned his atten- tion skyward and gazed with awe at what he saw In the heavens. Out of this close relation arose the oldest of sciences, astronomy. Napoleon seem- ed to have had a sincere belief in his star of destiny. I cannot say that I am exactly superstitious but I do be- lieve a lot of the statementas made in horoscoplal readings of one’s life. Even today people carry charms. It is interesting to note that we still call any trinket such as is carried on a watch chain a charm. It Is interesting to trace some of the remote superstitious forms such belief. Sneezing has always been re- garded as an omen. There is a feeble motion that a spirit is leaving the body In the sneeze. From 875 persons between the ages of sixteen to twenty-eight, in normal school, there was obtained about 1.100 admissions of full belief In supersti- tions about twice as many admissions of half belief, and nearly four times as many disbeliefs. There were near- ly as many who believed as those who disbelieved. There will always be superstition and we will have to let every man think the thing through for himself. Are you superstitious?

Top Future Souls To Have Peace Think of yourself soaring Into the sky at 600 miles an hour soon to be ia stratosphere testing relative humidity, atmosphere, pressure and tempera- ture. This is what you might do If you were working for the man who has recently invented a rocket ship which will enter the stratosphere in a short time. After the rockets have been ex- hausted. four wing like objects will unfold from the sides of the ship and begin working as an autogyro and let you and the shop safely to the ground. Think what fun you could have up there where all teachers and other people will not be asking you ques- tions that you or no other ordinary intelligent person could answer. Just think what it would be like up there finding out things that no one else can laugh at and say. I found that out a long time ago. Think of the people who will listen to what you say und then go home wondering what you were talking about. Ah yes. this would be fun but what you would find out w-ould not be a drop in the bucket compared to what could bo found out. If we could only keep this up. who could tell but what we may go on a trip i to see our martian brothers some day.

Interclass Diamond Ball Season to Start Soon “Just as soon as the playground can l e put In shape so that no one will break a leg. the diamond baseball games will get underway.” states Coach Barnhill. Last year the freshmen won the diamond ball championship, t’p to the last game of the season, the fresh- men and seniors were tied for first place. The freshles won the deciding game by a default from the seniors. Coach Barnhill says that there will be no game limit, and the games will he played every Monday and Thursday night after school. The season will continue until school closes In June. The l aseball players on the varlsity squad will not be permitted to take part in the interclass diamond ball games. Rural Students To Play Ball As soon as “Old Sol can smile warmly enough to dry up the mud on the play ground the rural students expect to start noon soft-ball games.

Roller Skating Attracts Many Although not affiliated with school activities the sport attracting the largest number of students at the present time is roller skating. To fully realize the fact you need only to go to the Beach Market most any night from four unt.i eleven o'claca. He who never learned to skate during his childhood days is learning now. Those who haven't skates are buying them or borrowing from their friends and all are participating in the fun. Tag and crack-the-whip are two of the most popular games played on the rollers. Harlo Dewey 10B, who pitched on the baseball nine last year, is un- doubtedly going to be the main stave in the pitching staff this year. Coach Barnhill says that his arm is in much better condition now than it was last year. Dewey bus received two letters in basket ball, one in football and one in baseball. Although not a high scorer he is consistent and therefore a very- valuable man on the team. Carl Youngs Is another valuable player. He 1� the regular catcher on the baseball team and Is considered a good one by local fans. Carl has received three letters in basket ball, two In football and one In baseball. He has filled many responsible posi- tions during his athletic career. CHARLOTTE NINE TO PLAY PARMA Charlotte high will play Parma In the second game of the baseball sea- son tomorrow afternoon at Bennett Park. Parma High Is noted for the strong athletic teams they turn out. The strength of this year's nine Is not known hut a fast and interesting game is predicted.

GATES GIVES To Travel Club HEAL™ ADDRESS Principal Jay Dykhouse was the speaker at the travel club meeting held April 5, his speech being about the Interesting Places in the United States.” The difference between a hobo, a tramp, and a bum is this. stated Mr. Dykhouse in his opeulng sentence. A hobo travels and pays his own ex- penses. a tramp is a man that travels and eats but does not work and a bum Is a man that neither works nor trav- els but sponges on his friends and other people. The speaker explained one should be prepared to travel. One way is to have a background of the places one visits in order to get the most out of the trip, the next thing is equip- ment. equipment can't be too good. One should have at least three changes of clothes: one good change and the other two just old clothes. In regard to the negroes who live in the southern mountains, he describ- ed as follows: The negroes down south are always a source of great in- terest to me. The typical negro cabin is a miserable little log hut having window frames minus glass, but oc- casionally covered with old burlap or tattered cheesecloth. The negroes live on molasses, mush, and sow belly, or in other words bacon more or less. The various points of interest dis- cussed and described by Mr. Dykhouse were. Yellowstone National Park. Col- lins Cave. Kentucky; Kentucky Moun- tains, Lincoln's birthplace, the Grave of the Unknown Soldier, ML Vernon and Lookout Mountain.

Gates in an address on Health and Health Rules given in asembly lust Monday morn- ing. Science has discovered that many of the health rules we now observe are not only insufficient but many are unimportant and actually harmful, he continued. Dr. Gates pointed out that not many j people appreciate the advantages of modern medicine because we know so! little of the great plague and epi- j demies that medical science has prac- tically eradicated. The most harmful thing known to j the American public is self diagnosis. ! Dr. Gates said. It endungers the health of the individual by delaying medical aid. Yet the American people spend five hundred million dollars annually in this practice. he reveal- ed. In conclusion Dr. Gates said that we should all know' what constitutes a balanced diet but that it is foolish for the average Individual to purchase vitamiues because they are all in the foods we eat or we w ould not be liv- ing today. A dinner party was given by the Teachers club Tuesday evening at Mr. Tolbert’s home. Around sixty teachers were present at this parly which was given in honor of the school board. Mr. Chapelle was the main speaker of the evening. His subject was The Cleveland Convention” which he attended a | short time ago. The rest of the eve- | nlng wns spent in playing table games.

At least the entire week was unlucky for them. Dean, while doing electrical experi- ments in physics, spilled a beaker of aqi;a re;la over his hand and on his clothing. Practically all the NH4 OH In the laboratory was used to neutra- lize the effects of the acid but Dean’s trousers have seen their best days. Louie attempted to raise a window In Mr. Stutzman’s room on Friday morning. The sash w as old and the entire glass tumbled out upon his head.

Prominent Man Relates His Life As I walked in the office of the | famous Beach Bros. I was greeted by the outstanding pair themselves. Fitch 1 greeted me with his great beaming | smile and raised eyebrows. He wore; an old crushed felt hat but neverthe- less gave a favorable impression. He grabbed me by the arm and started down the corridor to his private of- fice. Upon reaching the office I no- ticed an old black leather couch, two leather chairs, a desk and a swivel chair. In the corner of the room stoed a delightful fern which gave the room a dressed up air. Fitch promptly waved me to one of the comfortable old chairs and dropped himself Into the swivel chair, cocked his feet up on another chair, head tossed back, arms outstreached. with hands in back of his head. Well, now girlie what do you want to know about an old man like me? I asked him about his boyhood aud his school- ing. Another one of those pleased smiles crossed over his face and a look of happiness seemed to reflect off his face and gave the whole room a more cheerful aspect. Well, there’s not much to tell, I probably never attend- ed school over two years in my whole life. With head tossed back still farther, his eyes half closed, he seem- ed to be reminiscing of those old times. His father owned some land in a! far-off county of northern Michigan and Fitch had to travel two miles to | an Irish-Catholic school. At this time he was only seven or eight years j old and there was a little of the German fighting blood in him and as a consequence Kitch came home many n.'ghtj with lo:h eyes Hacked, being a plucky little fellow he would go1 back again for more, but us this con- tinue!. his father decided that his mother would teach him at home as she was formerly a country teacher So a desk was placed in the corner and n diner bell was near by. at nine o'clock the diner bell would ring and he would recite his lessons to his mother hut this did not prove very successful.

In the well known story by Mark Twain, the gang gave the best of co-operation in the whitewashing of Tom Sawyer s fence. We may be sure that this experience made Tom Sawyer a firm believer in co-operation. We have plenty of Tom Sawyers in every club and in every school. They believe in co-operation.—for the other follow. They are always willing to have co-operation, provided it does not cost them anything in time. efTort. or money. Here is a boy who is the president of his class. As president he preached and demanded the co-operation of the other members of the class in any project in which he was interested. But the next year when he was no longer president he forgot what he had so earnestly preached the year be-; fore. He was a Tom Sawyer. He was willing to co-operate as long as things were coming his way. as long as he himself did not have to give up something. Hence true co-operation is a give and take. In this kind of co-operation, we forget our individual wants, desires, and demands for the common good of all. It is the highest form of unselfishness. It takes time and effort to learn this kind of co-operation but there is no better training for good citi- zenship. IN APPRECIATION OE OCR BAND Friday, the 13th. may be an unlucky day for some folks, hut not so the band. About 26 members journeyed to Olivet in the morning and stayed for a concert in the evening, the occasion being a district musica! festival. Before coing. however, the band, which is indeed a splendid one. gave a flue program in assembly on Wednesday. April 12. Much praise and comment was heard afterwards by both students and members of the faculty. While in Olivet our band played with seven other organizations, namelv: Marshall. Mason. LesMe. Olivet high. Olivet college. Eaton Rapids, and Belle- vue. About two hundred and fifteen students participated. Mr. Hiidebrant stated that it certainly was a sight to see tu� many young people playing to- gether and it sounded fine. too. The combined bonds were directed by Mr. Falcoln who is leader of the Michigan State college band We have a fine band to be proud of and we hope that we shall hear more of It in the future. Mr. Hiidebrant has directed this Land for a year and he Is a very capable leader.—B. K. SAY IT WITH A SMILE Just to say it with a smile nriken It all so much rosier, but how much does it cost? Nothing, first you bring the corners of the mouth upward, bringing the facial muscles into play, next let the eyes crinkle at the corners, then you re ready to greet the day. When you go down the dark gloomy halls light up with a smile, what a difference it would make if you could only greet everyone with one of those great ear-to-ear grins and they even have to smile back at you Just to see how’ pleasant, how cheerful you look; it's catching if only someone would start it. No. I don't mean to bounce around with a sickly grin attached to you. but when you meet someone break into a great big S-M-I-L-E and holler HI.” You know that helps a lot. too. It's not a big word, but It means a lot. but what’s more perfect than a cheer- ful Hi! and a sunny smile?—K. F. “FIGHTING SPIRIT” MEANS MANY FUTURE VICTORIES It Is said that a lobster, when left high and dry among the rocks by the retreating tide, has not the intelligence and energy to work his way back to the sea but waits for the sea to come to him. If it does not come, he remains there and dies: although by putting forth a little effort he could have reached the waves, which may he tumbling and tossing within a yard of him. Throughout the world there are human lobsters; people stranded on the Rocks of Life. who. instead of exerting their own energies, are waiting for some great billow of good luck to set them afloat again. In Charlotte high school there are those pupils who sit around and do nothing until grade cards come out. If a miracle in the way of good grade does not come to them under these circumstances, do not blame your teacher, but yourself. Acquire a fighting spirit and you can be fairly sure of victory in everything reasonable that you undertake.—M. S. Did you ever watch a person try to write a theme with a 59-cent pen. and a borrowed one at that? Usually it starts out like a comedy and ends up a tragedy. With a great flourish, the ambitious essayist dashes off the title “Insanity.” Whereupon the pen strikes and refuses to give a drop. After several moments of hard pushing the obstinate pen gives way and without further delay deposits a large blot of ink on the paper. Four or five sheets having been wasted In this manner, a few mild oaths perme- ate the surrounding atmosphere. You now force the despised liquid from that cursed pen by shaking It vigorously. Having deposited half the supply of ink on the floor, you start on the seventh sheet of pap?r. This time the pen is good for three and a ha’f words—no more, no less. Here's where the tragedy begins.

BOYS TO BUILD A LITTLE HOME Some of our dignified seniors had a riotous time In a composition class the other day. Would you be Intcr- estel In knowing whet ideas some of our boys had for Building and Furn- ishing a Home? In the first place our dear bashful Rt le Albert Ann in rushed gu«ti'y to the dais, and shouted with an inner •• r� of insnir� tlon: You owe it to your wife and family to own your own home. Oh. Albert! Glr's. seek ye out the Pottervllle lad Don We’nh he alms to make a kit- chen in his home where the little wife will not have to toil and sweat while doing the daily tasks, but he admits that she'll have to do them. Charlie” Spire wants a great big house with pool-tables in the base- ment and—a bar. Why. Charlie! Our mayor Jack Forell, believes that you can't have convenience and beauty both. To prove his point he says; Now. I aim to have my cow stables right next the house; that will be convenient •� � •� not so beautiful. He’s going to have a scare room for extra stock. Don't get me wrong; perhaps I should have said, oats, corn and barley. Kent Campbell is very practical: he's not going to be gyped by fancy looking materials; he wants quality, by cracky. Charlie Bracy doesn’t like elder- A small, dark-haired, energetic per- son entered the main floor of one of Lansing’s department stores one bright spring morning. She was so small that at one glance you'd think she was hut a child, but the truth of the mat- ter was that she was a senior from a small city not quite twenty miles from the large city. And could she talk' Just for fun, let's listen in on the conversation. “Say, would some one please wait on me quick before I forget what 1 hud in mind , she said in a shrill voice. When she had the attention of a saleslady and ahout 12 other cus- tomers. she continued. You see I'll be graduating In ahout a month more or less, and I came to Lansing to get some clothes. First I want—isn’t Uiat cute? I mean that little boy eat ng peanuts. You know our principal, Mr. Dykhouse, Just loves peanuts and he’s always talking about them. Well. I want a dress for baccalaureate. You know, that is when you go to church, all the seniors. I mean. I don’t know whether I want a long one or a short one. And I Just can’t decide f I want it to he yellow or blue or pink. My mother wants me to have yellow. My sister, she married and she lives in Ohio and she’s got the cutest baby, well, she wants me to have blue. My dad says I’d look Just as well if I had on a gunny sack. Madam, would you please get me the dress I Just describ- ed. You know, the one for baccal— Oh. yes. and find me one that is just u little bit too large, then my sister can wear it next year. And listen. I can't have it too fussy because Mrs. Kiplinger. she's the teacher that makes all the kids spit out their gum. As the sa’cslady began to look very exasperated and a trifle bored, the little miss resumed her side of the conversation, the only side. Well. I must say. you don’t appear very in- terested in the dress that I'm picking out! But. Miss,” the saleslady hurriedly interrupted to cover the awkward moment. ’’If you'd only be a little more explicit. Explicit”, she fairly shouted. T thought I told you exactly—oh. it's 3:00 and I told my mother I’d be home early. I’ll Just have to come back some day next week.” Oh.' the saleslady groaned, as she dropped Into a nearby chair, I've earned my day’s wages; I’m glad graduation comes only once a year.” OUR BIG LOVE SCENE berries, so his hedge will be plain maple trees.

FOLOGY The sports editor wishes to apologize to Coach Barnhill, members of the track team and readers of this page for the ficticious track story that ap- peared In last issue of the Orange and Black. We believe that the rei� orter must have been afTected by a new spirit of romanticism since nothing had been done about track at that time. As Coach Barnhill was not present because of his brother's death, the facts could not be checked, and so what was sup- posed to be a news story was simply a product of the free use of his imagination. H. H. KREBS ORANGE AND BLACK TRIMS SECOND FOE Charlotte high school won its sec- ond straight victory from the Potter- ville nine, at Pottervllle April 10. by a score of 10-2. The game was play- ed in freezing weather and when base- ball was hard to play. Harlo Dewey pitched for five in- nings and allowed one hit and struck out twelve men. Smith pitched the Iasi two frames and gave up one hit and one run. Coach Barnhill used many substitutes in the game so as to got a line on the material he has. All told the local lads made 10 runs, nine h.ts, and four errors, while Pot- tervllle collected two runs, two hits and committed seven errors. The Orange und Black ended the game in fine fashion in the seventh inning by staging a triple play.

At this time there were no grades and as the teacher did not know the ability of Pitch she tested him out and he was finally placed in the number seven reader which would be the seventh grade now. Mr. Beach, what do you credit your success in business to? this brought a prompt reply. “Girlie. I've got to tell you. It may seem absurd, but (he pulled a package out of his pocket, and tap- ped it) it was chewing tobacco.” “You know. he raced on. that is what made a man out of me. I used to work for Duray Munger’s father, who owned a hardware shop, for ten dol- lars a month and my board. You see I'd always wanted to be a hardware man and I thought this was a good ofTer. At the time 1 was seventeen years old and I had a certain craving for chewing tobacco and I loved dances. I would hire a livery for fifty cents and go out to one of those country dances and all the girls liked to dance with me because 1 was a 'darned good dancer, he chuckled. He finally became manager of a hardware store when he was still seventeen years old and received thirty-five dollars a month because he could speak German. About this t-me he began going with Anna Treverse, who is now his wife. He got an of- fer to rent a hardware store, but he only had $500 saved so his employer loaned him another $500, and he start- ed into business and began selling the old fashioned windmill, but he decid- ed that he could manufacture a better windmill so he finally found himself in the manufacturing business. At this time Fred had become old enough to go into business with him and the windmill trade was dwindling so they started to manufacture road machin- ery and bridges. He found that he would have to have more education, so he bought a set of engineering1 l-ooks and studied those. Yes sir. girlie and we've been in this business for forty-four years.” He began to reach for his battered old hat. stuck it on his head and told me that was the whole story of his funny old life.” Local Chapter Makes Final Drive for Prize The local chapter of the Future Farmers of America are gathering their forces for the final drive down the home stretch in the national competition for the best chapter in the United States. Five hundred dollars in cash is the first place award, with other cash prizes for other placings. Last August the local chapter de- cided that leadership was the must important factor in the future, so they thus planned their programs. During the school year the boys have main- tained a steady but tiresome Job of training In leadership by giving six- teen country school P. T. A. programs dur.ng the past winter. The local chapter during the past year has furnished three country Boy Scout leaders or assistants, four coun- try Sunday school teachers or officers and three assistant 4-H club leaders. Jack Forell. president of the local chapter is also the mayor of the high school. The ninth grade agricluture stu- dents in the biology classes have on exhibit in the window, the work they have done in taxidermy as their part in building a nature study museum. The local chapter of Future Farm- ers adopted as one of their projects this year the bui’ding of the common birds and small mammals of this region. Mr. Benjamin Hennink taugbt the group the process and then picked out the boys who were most adapted to! the work and coached them in the art. All the work is now done by the | boys except, rebuilding the head and expression, and setting the eyes. Mr. Hennink has a permit from the state to take specimens of Michigan wild life and a Federal permit to allow him to take migratory birds.

Boys and girls roller skate again and girls select new spring clothes. It probably means more for the seniors; graduation day is drawing near. Other antici pated events are the Junior-senior banquet, honor banquet, class night, and baccalaureate. Many friendships In school are going to be broken after these events are passed. Consider what friendship is. and what our friends mean to us. Without friends to associate with, our school days would be dull. Our life outside of school depends upon the friends we have to associate with. Seniors, how many friends have we made? In later years we will realise; how many we have. If every student makes friends he will find his school days more pleasant. —K. M. FOND FAREWELL TO THE SENIORS School days will soon be over for about seventy of our senior friends. There will be other happy days for lower classmates to come back to. but never again for the seniors. Therefore, it Is only fitting and proper that this last month should he filled with various events which we all may be able to look back upon and remember. . . . . . . The string of last minute affairs is led by the honor banquet which takes place May 25. The dinner will be held in the Congregational church parlors and is being sponsored by the Student Council. The next event is the big dance of the year, the one to which we all look forward to. the Junior-senior prom. This will be held June_ ,n t“e Masonic Temple.

Greenies Have Fun in Big City Bright Ideas Spring Up From Various Sources JUNIOR LASSIE ATTEMPTS RESCUE To break the most impressive sil- ence of the high room and the peace- ful sleep of a few of the dignified seniors, came the booming laugh of a very small person up front. What was all of the commotion in the south- west corner of the room? Everyone sat up and craned their necks in that direction from which another peal of laughter came. Finally to satisfy the curiosity of those present a little gray mouse strolled out from behind a cello case at the front of the room. Mr. Duguid rose to his feet, rang the little bell and called for volun- teers to aid in the capture of the ani- ma� . T call for cats, not Tom-Cats because the latter are of no use in catching mice.” In response to this anpeal Ix is Ives bravely marched to the front of the room where she lost her nerve and directed her faltering footsteps on out the door. The Creator� Echo. Grand Rapids. Michigan, offers a suggestion that might be useful in our school (when the depression is over). It is called I the Financial Independence” board. I Into this fund Is paid certain dues which can be used for any club or i purpose the board deems worthy. Some new ideas have been expressed in themes and speeches given in classes. Here are some that are very new; Bonehead— M subtext 'W1 h- bones and Backbones' I couldn't look up anything on It so I’ll take it out of my own head, were the words of Robert Williams as he began his speech In a recent compoa'tlon class. New Floor— A tired mother paced ♦ he fl ur of the living room.” writes Isabelle Kelly. Nature—“Does a squirrel lay eggs?” asked Ruth Howe. A Scare—Charles Hamilton tePs th � � a ra erpillar fell onto his eyes half closed he brushed It off. Murder—Frances Brooks discovered that Sha • «• enr left Stratford be- cause he killed some dear that be- longed to the king. Adventures— Drake sailed through , the fane of Good Hope and South America is the report given by Cleone Halgh. Uncommon—Virginia Raidle states states that she waa all over stage i freight. New Vegetable— Some Jobs like canning a chair in woodshop is easy for me.” announces Robert Fullerton. Have you noticed several little ladles rushing about with pamphlets, newspapers, medals, badges and what not, excitedly bringing Into every conversation. Now when I was in Chicago ---’’? These young misses had some very interesting experiences In the Windy City” so 1 understand. One of these, or several of these, I should say was getting lost in various places. One night coming back to the soror- ity house where they were staying In Evanston they walked for blocks after inquiring where the place was. When the informer told them south”, they went in the d.rection which was -south to them. After walking sev- eral more blocks and not finding the building where it was supposed to be they bravely directed their tired foot- steps In the opposite way. Each be- lieving aloud that she knew the way, and Inwardly knowing that she didn't. Finally after asking three different people who pointed thrtAf different ways, one sat down, bewildered upon a fire hydrant, while a second stalked up to a style shop window where she i at once put a large bump on her fore- 1 head by trying to see a price tag on a dress which she couldn't have bought anyhow. A third, as a last resource. I decided to ask a group of girls who were coming down the street as to the place where they were headed. ”I)o you know where the sorority house is where they all go around in a square? she shyly asked. And wonder of wonders, the tired, travel stained, little Charlotte misses were escorted to their doors. So ended that evening. Would you telleve your oyes if you saw on State street, in downtown Chi- cago. a new Dodge being pushed along the street by two little girls, with another Inside at the wheel and one at the back window giving direc- tions? No. well don't be too sure, because when Maple City Inhabitants make up their minds to do something. It’s usually done. An empty parking space, absent car keys because of an absent instructor, taxi cabs vielng with each I other for the space, all this made up the minds of the home town Journal- istic to take the place and they did. Wrong knives, stolen napkins (Ta- per ones, believe it or not), walking Into wrong rooms at the right time or vice e.sa. mad stampedes towards anything which said -Take one” wide I eyed stares at tall buildings and the br'ght lights, all of this helped to make a perfect trip to our awed but weary press students. A GENERAL MESS There's something on my mind It worries me a lot. If you're sure that you don’t mlrd. I I'll tell you like as not. Would you like to buy a duck? Perhaps a cow would do. Get the shovel and a truck, Cause I think the wind blew . Whoops, my dealt , you nasty man . Why don’t you com’ up som' time? Cause “I yam what I yam — Hurry—someone make this rhyme. You're a silly citizen And sense you sure do lack! Ouch! Crash! Bang! Oh. Don’t ever do-o-o that.

For their first year they elected the following classmates lor officers: Jean Hammond, president; Josephine Ramsey, vice pres dent; Beatrice Darby, secretary, and Evelyn Stickroe. treasurer. Louie Carter and Jerlne Bradley acted as represent- atives In the student council. The sophomore year of the senior . class began after a short summer va- cation during which most of the fresh- man atmosphere had worn off. It was in this year that the class really began to enjoy and to take on the heavier burdens of high school 1 fe. In this second year they were led ly Ellis Lovell, president; Maxine Coop- er, vice president; Jerine Brauley. secretary, and Remona Swan, treas- urer. Gladys Spotts and Merle Parker filled the representative seats in the student council. The third year of their high school career was probably the most diffi cult. In order that they might spon- sor the traditional Junior-senior prom, they put on the comedy play Laugh Clown . In this year as Juniors their officers were: Harold Fisher, presi- dent; Betty King, vice president; Elaine Leach, secretary, and Duane Burton, treasurer. Wilbur Fast and Edith Dickinson were elected to the student council. In the year of ’33 and '34 the Benior class started out by electing their class officers for the year. They were Emerson Visch. president; Harold Sloan, vice president; Gladys Spotts, secretary, and Kathleen Fowler guard- ed the purse. Marlon Locke and Emerson Visch were the aldermen. In the middle of this year it was de- cided that Jerine Bradley had the highest credit average, thus making her valedictorian of her class. Gladys Spotts and Kathleen McCormick tied for salutatorian honors. The Senior class placed first in interclass basketball and third in the boxing and wrestling tournaments. Besides this the class has nine very prominent athletes. These are: Carl Youngs. Harold Sloan. Jack Forell, Lester Pugh. Ralph Overrayer. Donald Welsh. Vance Baker. Harold Fisher and Weldon Wagoner. Kathryn Spotts was chosen to represent the Girl Reserves at the Honor banquet. The G rl Reserves did not put a bid in to Like charge of the banquet.

Mrs. Kip- linger and Mr. Mead were chaperones and we’ll let you in on a secret—Mrs. i Kiplinger chewed a stick of gum. About three o'clock most of them Journeyed to Lansing proper and at- tended more or less shows. Most of them straggled back sometime before m dnlght tired but happy.

CLASS VISITS HOME OF STATE JOURNAL Several cars driven by students and a member of the faculty, conveyed about thirty-six members of the journalism class to Lansing Tuesday, May 15. The students were shown through the State Journal building. The group left the high school about 1:45 p. m. Upon arriving at the building they were taken to a small room where news was coming into the teletype from the Associated Press. This news was taken to the linotype operators who immediately set It Into type. A galley proof was taken, then the compositor placed the news to conform to the dummy. After placing it In the chase and locking It. a stereo- type plate was made. Hot lead from a big container holding gallons of the liquid was poured over the plate. The semi-circle of metal was cooled and sent to the room where the paper was printed. SCOUTS PLAN TRIP TO GRAND HA YEN Troop 45 is planning a trip to Grand Haven. Their trip will Uke two days.

Shortly after my boat docked In New York harbor, I went Into a tele- vision booth to see If my old friend Peggy Norris, whom you will recog- nize as “Aunt Amy”, was too busy to see me. She apparently was not, so 1 took a rocket plane and shot up to her apartment, which Is on the 4U .th floor of the sky.lne building. Peggy. I found, has become world famous with her lectures, columns and magazine articles giving advice on girl a problems. She to.d me that her correspondents numbered 12.1,0 0.- 000 during the past year. “Well, what do you know about the j old Charlotte high school crowd? 1 asked, after we had d.scussed cur own lives since we had last seen ea h ether I which was more than thirty years ago. UVe been thinking about them during the journey home. Remember our senior literature class and Mrs. Kipllnger who used to say Who sits In this room? Perhaps a future presi- dent: a greut statesman: a great scientist, doctor or lawyer; perhaps a pet or an artist.” I've been wonder-, tag Just who did sit In the room. It will be the easiest thing in the world to show you , she replied. Have you heard of the Audio Vislo invented by Andre Reno? You re- member him don't you?” Indeed I do. I said. He helped me build a photo-electric cell for a physics project in 1934.” He entered Columbia college. she said “where he invented and perfected the machine.

They were unveiling the statue of Jay Dyk- house, which was presented by the famous sculpturist and former gradu- ate of Charlotte high. Robert Thomp- son. The statue was marble not soap.
