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. INTERCLASS SPORTS Interclass sports season is nearly here. Those of you who cannot try cut for the team can play on your respective class teams. This is your chance to participate in athletic competition and mark up points for your class. Interclass basketball season starts immediately after Christmas vacation. If you do not play on the teams go down in the gym and cheer for your players for they are your representatives and if you expect them to win you should give them your support. 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. Have you noticed the friendship that has sprung up between the cook- ing teacher and Joe Frace? Have you noticed the two little shadows sitting in the senior section of the high room at noon? NEW BOOKS The following new books are waiting for people at the public library: Adventure” by Carveth Well. Miss Bishop” by Beth Streeter Aldrich. Let's Start Over Again by Vasch Young. The Bright Land” by Janet Fair- bank. Beyond the Blue Sierra by Hon- ore Morrow. Let the Hurricane Roar” by Rose Wilder Lane. SEND IT IN If yon know some funny jokes. Send it in; If you know a real good hoax, Send it in; If you know a laugh or two. Something sad. but oh so true. We will print it just for you. Send it in; If you have some red-hot news Send it in; If you want to air your views. Send them in; It may make us laugh and roar; We may have heard it all before: But send it in. Central Luminary. 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. But not Newtie”. he is greatly enjoying the battle now that victory is on his side and refuses to sign a peace treaty. So poor Billy's tall is constantly in danger of his enemy's cruel weapon. r------------------ • The Freshman s Love Confession June Night Darkness On the Delta Dear Heart As the Shadows Fall I’m Dream- ing Alone in the Twilight Think- ing of You Girl of My Dreams You’re the One I Care For” Until the Sands of the Desert Grow Cold .

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.
