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. The person listening in on the conversation hardly recognized the boy as Fat because he was par- tially disguised, or was it a dis- guise—we shall see. Because I have only one eye. kind man.” saith Jim , I shall therefore see only a half of the show, and therefore 1 should only have to pay half the price, or five cents.” Yes. explained the lady at the window, “you have only one eye. poor fellow, but as It will take you twice as long to see the show kindly hand over double fare.” Jim”, want- ing to see the picture.

Finally being able to break through the heavy guard which Mr. ilildebrandt had posted out- side the band room, we found that the mysterious thunder sounds came from the big bass drum and Elmer Conard; that the shrill shrieking, terrified animal sounds came from the combined efforts of Franklin Prindle and Bob Bryan.

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? The Critic: As soon as tho first rays of the sun come in my win- dow. The Poet: Splendid! Then you. too. like to go out while the dew I» still fresh on tho grass. The Critic: No. not exactly. My room faces the west. H. Thomas- This is our tenth wed ding anniversary. Shall we go home and kill a chicken? F. Wood— Why kill a chicken for what happened ten years ago?

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.
