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.

October 30. Dr. Savage related some of his in- teresting adventures that he had ex- perienced while traveling in Jerusa- lem and Damascus, to illustrate the object of his address. He also stated that education was to make ua think and not to be used like puppet dolls. The assembly for Friday will be a patriotic program. The band will play several selections. A play “Gas” will be presented by the dramatic club and a Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag given by Robert Bush of Scout Troop 45.

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. The four cheer leaders will direct the student body In yells, which, they hope, will inspire the team to beat Eaton Rapids. 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. The athletic control is making a large sum of money this year and are gradually paying the debts they owe. states Mayor Forell. The mix- ers are drawing in large crowds and are making, on an average. 815 every month. The candy sales, which go to finance different organizations, are in- creasing in returns. The book ex- change brought in over 8200 this year, which is a large increase over last year's business. The library is being thoroughly checked and students are compelled to bring back the books. A large drive is being planned for both Thanksgiving and Christmas to ob- tain clothes for the needy. »w Ideas Being Tried A reception committee, composed of members of the council, assisted the new 8th graders and freshmen In be- coming acquainted with the various rooms and classes. An extensive pro- gram is being worked out by the council for the rural students. This will provide entertainment for the noon hour. A parking system, with Lester Pugh as director, compels the cars to park at a forty-five degree angle with no part on the sidewalk. About 25 physical education alum- nus of Kalamazoo participated in the annual homecoming volley ball tourna- ment with faculty members and pres- ent students. In spite of their ad- vanced years tho girls of the class of 1930 finished In first place, winning against all comers and running up the highest score. 14416436

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.

This Is The Month To rake up the leaves. To dig the potatoes. To bring in the pumpkins and squash. To build the furnace fires every morning. To dig out the “red flannels. To have bonfires. To wish for next summer. To be nice to the girl-friend (a Thanksgiving dinner may be on the way). To make sauerkraut. To beat Eaton Rapids. To harvest the sugar beets. To be extra nice to the teachers. (A couple of days vacation, maybe.) To help the poor to the best of our ubillty. A long winter ahead.) THINK LITTLE HARDER Place a plus sign before the correct statements, and a minus before the incorrect. A dairy cow has all her permanent teeth at 5 years of age. Chickens loose their baby teeth when they are 4 months old. An ordinary hen lays two eggs daily. There are 42 counties in Michigan. An 8 penny nail is larger than a $ penny nail. Chaucer had ten wives. London is the largest city in the world. Farmers sew their oats in the fall. A car going 40 miles an hour takes less gas than one traveling 60 miles an hour. The earth rotates around the sun once every twenty-four hours. The Albion college band have al- ready begun another active season. They played three weeks ago at the St. Mary’s game at Alumni Field and two weeks ago they united with the Kalamazoo band and played at the football game as a pan of the Kala- mazoo Centennial. C. H. S. Dope Bucket i The smallest class in Charlotte high school is Latin III. There an seven students enrolled Physics is next with eleven. Mr. Nielsen is taking pictures for the Charhian of the various classes, clubs, and organizations. Julia Pifer. who was injured in a hunting accident has returned to school. The 10B class has two new mem- bers: Eveiene Lott from Webberville, and Frieda Lucke from Freeland. The travel club has 82 members. This is the largest membership in the history of the club. More are invited. Max Gee, Werlin Bradley and Mer- rill Root have been let out—of quar- antine. They’ve had chlckenpox. The county council of religious ed- ucation is held in the high school building every Wednesday evening from 7:30 to 9:30. Charlotte high has been well repre- sented at the World’s fair. Recent visitors were Harry Jackson. Margaret Smith. Marshall Griffith. Helen Shep- herd. Chadwick Butterfield. Martha Felers, Edith Dickinson. Lawrence Shuler, and Craig Davids. Mrs. Marie Taylor has 199 students enrolled in her classes. Walter Cramplon from Royal Oak has recently enrolled in grade 8. Shorthand I has 50 students enroll- ed in one class. This is the largest class in school. Kenneth Smith has Joined the C. C. C. As a special project. Latin I stu- dents are carving Roman figures from soap. If you ask a Comp. II student what his greatest trouble is he will likely say orations. Physics students are forcing them- selves to study forces. “We have very few cases of tardi- ness. staled Mr. Dykbouse. Our reputation along thiH line is very good and we want to keep it that way. 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. It doesn't seen» to make much difference whether Bill has several ladders setting around the school, or someone’s black cat got loose—some people insist on stearing clear of all superstition dangers. Have you ever noticed the sly looks our black-haired president of the sen- for Girl Reserves gave you if you hap- pened to glance sideways at her pock- et? You usually have to look twice to see It, because her hand is forever hiding it from our view. And the quarter-back of our football team! Even he had “rifle fever . Then one day he came to school whist- ling like the birds and with such a happy look in his eyes! After much wondering, hinting and inquiring, we have come to the sad climax. Two of our little fur friends gave up their lives, so that thoir paws might be carried to protect people. The old, old custom of the rabbit's paw is being carried out in C. H. S. Little Bo Peep She lost her sheep, But she never did things by halves; For her skirts were knee high. And disclosed to the eye. That she still had a couple of calves.
