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.

East Lai i- sing and Mason threaten to provide the dynamite In the 1933 Little Seven conference gridiron championship race, us the result of the first title contests played last week. 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.
