I960 I pondered, as J my eye rested upon a small desk calendar in my room in the Philippine Islands. 1935—1960— Think of it! Nearly twenty-five tears since our graduation from Charlotte high school. “We had such high ambitions. I mused. I just wonder if we were all able to realize them?’ I had attained my goal, and'for fifteen years had been engaged in public health health nursing in the Philippine Islands. Suddenly the idea snapped in my brain. I'm going home!” I'm going back to Charlotte to be there on the twenty-fifth anniversary or gradu- ation. Only the fastest means of trav could get me to Charlotte in two day so on the morning cf June 15. ju as the tropical sun arose in tl heavens. I stepped into mv am gravitational Stratariau. which the way. was perfected by two my classmates. Byron Fields ai Charles Hamilton. Taking a supply of Vita Vim. tl most nour shing of concentrate foods, which is recommended I Virginia Paine, world famous diet nan, I arose to an altitude of 65,0i feet, parked myself on a stratasphe ian highway and prepared to beg the fourteen hour wait necessary f. the earth to rotate fo that positit when I could descend to Charlotte. As I waited the soft sweet stra'i of an orchestra drifted through tl ether. Imagine my surprise aft thoroughly enjoying the program learn that the conductor was noi rwi I?- ,'hal old “««■• Wen Charles Fielder. _ ‘ thought my calculations mu certa.nly be wrong when I landed a city with elevated trains and gia sky sera pecs. The first thing I would do. I decide was to make a visit to the home of tl mayor. I was not at all surpr’si to learn that he was none other thi Wendell Moore. Considering his hit school record Pete could not ha done otherwise. I drove with the mayor in a ne Packard 12 to his beautiful home the suburbs of the metropolis for dl ner. We were greeted at the ga by a charming lady whom I win never have recognized as Theln Burns. The mayor introduced Edward Cheney, founder and Editor of the Charlotte Times, southern Michigan’s most famous daily newspaper, as toastmaster for the evening. The program consisted of each individual telling or demonstrating his success in life. Mr. Cheney introduced the staff of his paper, most of them Journalism students from the class of 1935.

In those messages the executives have expressed their gratitude and appreci- ation to the faculty for the instruction that their respective classes ha e re- ceived in the Charlotte public schools. This year I wish to join with those past presidents in expressing the same wholehearted thanks to the teachers who have so unselfishly ex- pended their efforts for the gain of the student body—but more than that I wish to express, on behalf of the graduating class, my most heartfelt gratitude to those parents who have given us the opportunity to learn— and to cultivate lasting friendships. Seniors, as we come to the close of our high school careers, let us sin- cerely pledge ourselves to partly repay this debt by making a complete SUCCESS out of our future lives.

With Miss Dorothy Stewart acting as faculty advisor, the bewildered freshmen first elected their class officers. Isabel Kelly was chosen president; Margaret Cox. vice presi- dent; Irma Hammond, secretary; and Robert Kilian. treasurer. The class was very active in 1933. having many parties, as well as sleigfl rides in the winter. Under the advisorship of Mrs. Alleen Corubs. jtbe class of ’36 had another active year. The class elected Margaret Cox. president; Donald Smith, vice president; Ruth Martin, secretary: and Delores Bouska. treas- urer. This year, with the assistance of Miss Dorothy Stewart, the class of 36 presented the annual junior play, which was entitled, Bab . The comedy, which was written by Mary Roberts Rinehart, starred Ruth Mar- tin as Bab . Norma Paton led the juniors this year as president. Vivian Secore was elected vice president; Isabel Kelly, secretary; and James Fink, treasurer. The class of '36. has furnished Charlotte high with many outstanding athletes. “Don Smith. Milton Briggs. Harlo Dewey. ' Bob Munger. Bill” Cheney. George Mayhew, B.U Bobier, Howard Thomas, Dick Kelly. Rich- ard Schroeder, and Clarence Harsh- man have earned varsity letters In football, while Don Smith, Harlo Dewey. Bill Cheney, and Lee Barn- hill have also been awarded letters in basketball. Many of these boys have also earned letters in either basket ball or track. � H PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE A S we. the class of 36, reminisce over the experiences of the past year we recall with pride our ac- complishments of the year. We look back with a feeling of regret that our junior year is over, but we look for- ward with pleasure to a senior year which we hope will be as successful as that of the class of '35. A new door is opened before us and as new problems confront us we shall endeavor to live up to our motto. A winner never quits and a quitter never wins. We attribute our successes and pleasures of the past to our capable advisors, Dorothy Stewart and Terence Flower, the former having left us in February for a position in Detroit. The junior class was the loser of a kind friend and a helpful advisor but Winifred Wells completed the year with us and aided us in our diffi- culties. As we reach the close of our junior year we sincerely wish the senior class the best of success in the future and extend our best wishes to the class succeeding us.

SPORTS REVIEW OF 1934-35 BASKETBALL DOPE WITH only three basketball regu- lars returneing from last year's oustanding cage team, Coach Kenneth Barnhill succeeded in building a team even stronger than that of the pre- ceding year.

At the present time, the juniors are leading in points with 124, followed by the sophomores with 87. the seniors with 80 and the freshmen with 63. After a close basketball race, the juniors defeated the seniors 19-13 in the play-off to win the basketball crown.

Therefore, the seniors are favored to overtake the juniors in the lead and cop the interclass plaque. FOOTBALL FACTS FROM u squad of over forty boys, which included five veteran. Coach Barnhill, with the assistance of Kenneth Brown, picked one of the most promising football teams Char- lotte high has possessed In the last five years.

Over half the line was lost last year by graduation, and only two lettermen. Howard Thomas and Harold Zimmerman, returned. However, there were several promising last year reserves, who reported. From these. Coach Barnhill picked Bill Bohier. Archie Lyford, Dick” Kelly. Richard Schroeder. and George May- hew, who played on the Grand Ledge eleven, last year, to fill the vacancies on the line.

Janitor “Bill” Bottomley says, “I certainly miss seeing Mr. Chapelle come up the walk with his arms full of mail every morning. I've watched him for so many years that it's kind of hard to quit now. Nine times out of ten, 1 have heard sophomores, juniors aud seniors say. You're wanted in Dykhouses office’’ when they meant McCall's. It is hard to familiarize the names of Principal McCall and Superintendent Dykhouse. These two changes have been made because of the promotion of our “grand old educator”, Ernest Chapelle, to the superintendency of the high schools in Ypsilanti.—R. D. OBEY THE TRAFFIC RULES Many accidents could be avoided in the halls between classes if each aud everyone of us would only follow some simple rules—the first: keep to the right. It happens sometimes that when we come out of a room on one side of the hall it is much handier, and we can seem to make faster progress, if we keep on that side, even if it is the left. But after we have gone a short distance we find that we are about to meet a small army of people coming straight toward us, and on the same side. Instead of putting our heads down and knocking as many out of our way as is possible, lets all go to our own right side where it won’t be necessary to put our books in front of us as shields and break right through the whole crowd. Another simple traffic rule that would make progressing through the building easier is the rule about going up and down stairs. When going up we should always use the north stairs and when coming down, the stairs on the south side are the ones to make use of. If we all remember these two simple rules we w’ill have fewer traffic jams and possible calamities in this building.—L. P. OPPORTUNITY Stop, stop, oh time in thy flight, and make me a child again, just for tonight.” How many times have you seen these words? And how many times have you stopped to consider what they might mean? Why would our fathers and mothers want to be children? We believe that an older person can see the mistakes he made while he was a child, and he can see the opportunities that stared him in the face but which he never took. He knows now what he should have done and he wishes he had the same chance. Many times young people who are looking for an opportunity are faced with just the chance they want. But do they take it? Not very often. It isn't quite what they want. Or. they know of a better chance that they can get if they wait a while. So their opportunity goes by and the other big chance doesn't come and that person is left wondering why it was that life had to pick on him and keep him from doing what he wanted to. Take your chances when you can get them. Don’t be too fussy. Re- member that once an opportunity is gone, it's gone, and there is no getting it back. So when an opportunity presents itself, grab it! And hang on!—R. D. GO TO THE GAMES There always seems to be a certain few in school who never go to any of the games. Are you one of these unpatriotic persons? If you are. cure yourself of it right away and go to the very next gamo that you possibly can. You’ll never regret it. If you don’t go. don’t you feel just a little bit out of things when you hear some of your fellow class- mates discussing the exciting plays that were made? Come one, come all. to every game that is played on our home field and to every other game that you can. Help boost your own team and also broaden your mind by being interested in athletics as well as books.—L. P. This story was told about Sinclair Lewis, the famous novelist. He re- ceived a fan letter from one of his many admirers. It read thus: My Dear Mr. Lewis: I am simply wild about your works. I would like to come and be near you. Could I be your secretary I’d do anything, and when I say anything. I mean anything! To which letter Mrs. I ewis, who was her husband’s secretary, replied: My Dear Miss----------------: 1 am sorry but Mr. Lewis is already equipped with ao efficient secretary. I do everything, and when I say everything. I mean everything! i Crusty Crumbs i I i.------....... Of course it really isn’t a fire, is it?” anxiously questioned an eighth grader at the first fire drill. He was promptly informed by a high and mighty senior that of course it wasn’t. And speaking of eighth graders, why is it that so many of the new infants will go rushing down the hall and then come to a dead stop, knocking over the six or seven people behind him? Could you also tell me why it is that the little souls will persist in going to algebra class in the Latin room? Really, my dear, it just; isn’t done.” Mr. Duguid is slowly but surely convincing Lydia May Smith that he knows just as much about chemistry as she does. I don’t envy him his job. though. I’ll bet that Jacob Van Vessem has ; smaller feet than a lot of girls in this high school On a recent Sunday school picnic with her class. Mrs. Dykhouse looked worried. Finally one of the girls ask her if anything was the matter. I “Well.” she stated. ‘T told Mr. Dyk- house what to eat for supper tonight. But when he gets started he won’t , stop, and there’s some food in the ice J box I don’t want eaten.” STUDENTS GIVEN TIMELY ADVICE Just to make sure that each of you start the school year right we hereby 1 submit for your approval a list of. student by-laws which we trust will be faithfully executed. 1. Don’t be ambitious. Caesar was killed for possessing such a detriment to character. 2. Be economical. Borrow' note- book paper and pencils. 3. During assembly squirm in your seat and talk to your neighbor as much as possible. It show's the speak- er you are interested. 4. In study hall, and in the class room slide down In your seat It makes you look at ease. 5. Never go to class prepared. It will be much better for you if you can bluff—and get by with it. 6. Never hold a door open for some one coming next. He needs the exercise as much as you do. 7. Don’t fail to write your name on your study hall desk or you might not be able to find it easily. 8. At the games take care to stand in front of someone. It will develop his patience. 9. Try to make it a point to be always chewing gum. It makes you appear contented. You know'—con- tented cows.......... 10. If the stairs are crow'ded, slide down the bannister. This will save you both time and energy. YOU GUESS I CAN’T Do you know: Why Marion.

Take a peek at the page of recollections and souvenirs of the faculty members. it all happened in August. He ‘went a-courtin’, furnished a home, and carried away our last year’s Latin teacher to the tune of “Oh, Promise Me.” Happy days ahead for Super- intendent Jay Dykhouse. Principal “Jake” McCall whiled away hours in a canoe for two until it was time to go to camp with the Boy Scouts. There he showed great prowess as a high diver. Local friends were surprised to hear that Miss Winifred Wells chose a thumb” trip. She reports an inter- esting visit through the scenic thumb of Michigan. After recuperating from her almost tragic auto accident, Mrs. Marena Kiplinger defied fate and weather in her brand new Studebaker. Rocky mountain cl’mbing and surf riding in the Pacific added new zest and vigor to Miss Dorothy Stewart and Miss Mae belle Swartz. What could be more delightful than following one’s own inclination along a trout stream, or hunting in northern Michigan? So thought Wendell Anderson. Ditto, Miss Sue Gillam. Ditto, Terence Flower. Petals from her own lovely garden linger in Mrs. Frances Wlldern’s rose jar of summer memories. Earl Mead showed his cleverness in handicraft on a Michigan farm. Our much travelled Benjamin Hen- nink. on his numerous visits to the Century of Progress, became a pro- fessional expert at assisting people down the Magic Mountain. Miss Elizabeth Krieger found her summer pleasant gaining new ideas at Columbia university. Rumor has it that Mrs. Marie Tayl- or caught the largest fish at Duck lake. Putting to practical use his knowl- edge of chemistry. John Duguid has waged a successful war on all pests and harvested a bumper crop of pota- toes. The Century of Progress with all its allurement was a Mecca fbr Mrs. Combs. Miss Beatrice W’illiams found sunny California a nice place. During his vacation Kenneth Brown applied his mathematical mind to the intricacies of high powered machines. Summer days were play days for Jacob Van Vessem. flitting as he did from east to west.

The alumni had the edge through- out the contest, but continuous pen- alties on the graduates aided the high School greatly and kept the score close. • Neither team s ored In the first quarter, although the alumni kicked off and the locals Immediately lost the ball on u fumble. Nothing became of the excellent br ak , however. In the second quarter, end runs by Day and line plunges by C.chrane netted many yards for the alumn . and the ball was soon very near to the Orange and Black goal line. A short pass from Bill Day to “Hub' Stevens netted a touchdown. The try for the extra point was futile, since the alumni were offside. In the third period the alumni made two more points when Carl Youngs blocked one of Don Smith's kicks, the ball rolling Into the end zone for a saftey. On this play. Youngs was knocked out , this being the only casualty of the battle. In the fourth period. Smith made several long gains for the locals, ad- vancing the ball deep Into enemy ter- ritory. Smith converted the extra point. Five minutes were left to go. and the high school grldders tried des- perately for another tally, but were not equal to the occasion. The final score was 8-7, In favor of the alumni. Coach Barnhill states that he felt satisfied with the team but that there would probably be some changes in the Coldwater game next week.

LEDGERS LOSE TO ORIOLES IN GAME AT GRAND LEDGE Contest Makes Charlotte’s Second Conference Triumph; 20-0 The Charlotte high school football team won its second Central Six con- ference game of the season when it defeated Grand Ledge high in Grand Ledge last Friday, 20-0. Only penalties kept the locals from scoring in the first quarter and an exchange of kicks between Smith of Charlotte and Schumacher of Grand Ledge was featured. In the second quarter, after Dewey and Smith of Charlotte had advanced the ball to the Grand Ledge thirty- five yard line by line plunges and end runs respectively, the locals pulled the old hidden ball trick with Smith carrying the ball around left end for thirty-five yards and a touchdown. Smith’s kick for the extra point failed. Grand Ledge kicked off and an ex- change of kicks followed. A quick punt by Donkey” Hammond of Grand Ledge gained many yards on the ex- change of punts and set the Orange and Black quite deep into their own territory. Briggs intercepted a Grand Ledge pass and raced to the Grand Ledge thirty yard line only to have the play recalled because of a penalty. In the third period, Charlotte again received and It was not long before the locals had acquired another touch- down. Successive passes from Smith to Bobier and from Smith to Dewey brought the ball to the Grand I dge two yard line. Dewey then took the ball over on a line plunge. Smith converted the extra point. In the fourth quarter, the Orange and Black again scored on a pass from Smith to Dewey. Smith’s kick for extra point was successful, mak- ing the score 20-0. Coach Barnhill then started sending in the substi- tutes and only four regulars finished. The substitutes entered were: Bryan, VanAuken, Putnam, Jones, Harshman and Patterson. The starting lineups were as fol- ! ows: Charlotte Grand Ledge Bobier LE Baird i Thomas LT Stevens 1 Gillette LG Hoag !

The recent appearance of rubber bauds which greatly aid in trans- porting paper wads from one place to another is doing its part in making a perfect bedlam of the supposedly quiet study room. We wonder what the high room teacher would do if some day every one came quietly in, sat down, took out his books, and quietly commenced to study without calling their next door neighbor over to hear the latest Mae West story. Yet we aren't first graders or kindergartners. Why do we have to behave so? Do we so seldom see people of our own age that we have to take advantage of it when we are near them? We don't believe that that Is the case. We do believe that only a few people are responsible for the commotion and racket. However these few incite a few others and on goes the disturbance until a great many have put away their books and joined in the free-for-all— just like the bunch of silly foolish sheep that they are!—R. D. MISPLACED PROPERTY Take care of your possessions! We have so many people here in school who in one way or another are forever misplacing things. These people always manage to keep things in an uproar. They are continually leaving pencils, pens, or books on their desks and then walking away without them. When these trinkets are missed the owner usually starts the story that someone stole something of his. If he has a grudge against some particular preson. that person is gen- erally the one blamed. Why not try to keep our wits steady and see that all our belongings are in their rightful places? Don't have your books out in the halls if you suspect that some person is going to pick them up. Just remember, always, to have a place for everything and keep every- thing in that place!—L. P. “Sold is the task, when pupils, grown too wise. Instruct their teacher where his error lies; For though we deem the short-lived fury past, ’Tis sure the mighty will revenge at last. —Max Gee “Let men their days in senseless grind employ. —Seniors “The immutable decree on force can shake. —Rule for tardiness Your face is a book where men may read strange matters. —Howard Bond “In solemn troops and sweet so- cieties.” —Student Mixer In all thy humours whether grave or mellow, Thou’rt such a touchy, testy, pleasant fellow; Hast so much art and mirth, and spleen about thee, There is no living with thee, nor with- out thee. —“Pete Moore “Slack the pain of this ill mansion. —C.

It is a beautiful composition. The name of that song is Among My Souvenirs. In this particular selection the author is explaining the various things he has in his souvenirs and memories. What would your souvenirs be if you looked over them mentally? We know in ourselves whether or not we should be ashamed of our souvenirs. Memories are very embarrassing things at times. Remember this sometime when you are tempted to do a thing and egg yourself on with It will be forgotten pretty soon. I believe that a memory is another name for a conscience and probably all of you at one time or another have had some dealings with your con- science. Why not try to mold our lives so that when we look back over our souvenirs we can pick out nothing but memories which are worthwhile and not embarrassing?—R. D. WHY TRY TO KEEP I P WITH THE JONES? Why wear our best clothes to school? However, some girls seem to think they must in order to be popular or well liked. But do we look at a person's clothes or do we notice his manners and personality? If our clothes are clean and neat it makes no difference to any intelligent person whether the material is silk or gingham. A good plan for a high school where there are girls of all classes is to have them wear uniforms. We should introduce this custom here in Charlotte and we would see that it would be welcomed by all. Some may think it would prove tedious to see all the girls in this building wearing dresses alike, but we could have changes every once in a while. If we can’t have regular uniforms, let's not try to see who can lead in the daily fashion parade, anyway. Let’s just forget the subject of fashion- able clothes while we are in school, and remember that we are all sisters under the skin.—L. P.

In civics class the other day we were introduced to Mr. Rich- ard Van Mason. Ex-senator Wayne Van Cole, and the right honorable Pete Van Moore. • 'Peg’’ Chandler when asked by a flippant freshman “what the other guy looked like” promptly answered, “Oh. they buried him yesterday. The deep dark secret is out. One senior girl finally plucked up courage enough to ask Jake Van Vessem in what size shoes his dainty feet were encased. He answered (rather em- barrassed) that he wore from to 7. Any outsider reading this column would be under the impression that Jacob Van Vessem is the only faculty member in Charlotte high.

September 28, at Ma- son. The final score was 12 to 6 in favor of the Orioles. Charlotte’s first tally came midway through the first quarter when after a series of punts and fumbles by both sides together with hard running by the Charlotte backs, gave the Orange und Black grldders the ball on the fifteen yard line. Donald Smith drop- ped back on the next play and heaved a flat zone pass to Dewey who crossed the enemy goal. Smith’s low kick was blocked in attempting the extra point. The third per.od was featured by Charlotte's other tally of the game. A fumble by Ma on, in their own ter- ritory was recovered by the Orioles and with the aid of several line smashes placed the ball on Mason's twenty yard line. A minute later Briggs jumped high in the air to spear Smith's pass and dashed across the goal line, completing Charlotte s scoring. Mason's lone marker came in the fourth quarter when Charlotte again passed, hoping for a touchdown; but the ever alert Aseltine, of Mason, snatched the ball out of the air and streaked eighty-five yards up the side- line as the Mason rooters went wild. Donald Smith played an outstanding game for the Orange and Black as did Lyle Aseltine for the Maroon and White. The starting line-ups were as fol- lows: Charlotte Bobier LE Mason Medcoff Thomas LT Bullen Wietzke Ll Lundy Schroeder C Smith Zimmerman R3 Silsby Lyford r r Yerks May hew R 5 Laughlln Dewey F.i Haskell Smith Qi Barto Briggs RH King Munger LH Aseltine Artists Bind Books As First Project Of Year Binding directories for the teachers of the high school and the grade is the main project of the art club at the present time. Members of the club sew the pages together and bind them with s|� onge covers. These are made by covering cardboard with paste blended with water colors. There are approxi- mately fifty-two directories to finish in this way. The main purpose of the club is to gain expression through art. as noth- ing of its kind is in existence in the high school. During the course of the year the girls expect to take up the study of clay powder. They also plan to mold vases and bake them in the kiln at Grand Ledge. Soap carving and tapestry weaving will also be undertaken. Conference Chatter by Waterboy Pete” Standings (unofficial) won lost tied pet.

Jacob Van Vessem Recounts Trip Sixty-six members were present at the first regular travel club meeting of the year, held Thursday, October 4, in the high school. It was decided at this meeting that the club should have Its picture in the Charhi n. Entertainment for the evening was furnished by Jacob Van Vessem. his- tory teacher and joint sponsor of the organization with Miss Winifred Wells. Mr. Van Vessem recounted his ex- periences on a trip through the east- ern and southern sections of the United States and in Canada during the summer of 1929. Part of the trip was taken in a small motor boat and the remainder iu an old model T Ford. Some of the facts upon which he commented were: the surplus of beau- tiful women In the city of New Or- leans, the beauty of the Gulf coast, the warmuess of the southern girls’ greetings to gentlemen, the Southern- ers' fiendish thirst for soft drinks be- cause of the very warm climate, the air of mystery which pervades New York City, the number of Indians in Canadian lumbering towns, and the deserted lumber camps In the same country. The next meeting is to be held in the high school on Thursday evening. Oc- tober 18. VAUGHN RAGSDALE CO.

TO PARADE N V. 12 Im uc 3 “How you can make a success of your life was the subject of the ad- dress given by Dr. Charles E. Barker, Rotary's ambassador to youth, to the | high school students Friday afternoon. In order to be successful you must have three things the lecturer began. “A strong arm. a clear head, and a brave heart. To have a strong arm means to have a healthy body. You may say you can’t help R if you aren’t strong. But you can. I care not how weak you may be you can develop a perfect physical body If you will consistently take 15 minutes of exercises daily. To Illustrate he cited the example of Theodore Roose- velt. Illustrating his second point the speaker stated the fact that to have a clear head does not mean that you need to be brilliant but that you have the ability to think a thing through. He asked the question of why we go to high school and answered that most of us go to keep up with the class and graduate. Dr. Barker !

I know many of your parents are doing without things they want, and should have, in order to send you to school. I sometimes wonder whether you appreciate your parents as you should. Most of you take for granted that your parents will do everything for you and some assume the attitude that they have it coming to them. Your parents are just like you in that they like to have their sacrifices and good work appreciated. It seems to me that going to school is your job just as much as working on the farm or in a factory is your father's job. You are expected to do your best at all times. When you present your report card to your parents it should be the same as a receipt stating that you have worked up to the limit of your ability.—Jay Dykhouse. IN MEMORIAM The entire student body was sorry to hear of the death of one of our classmates and friends. Fred Cooper. Fred would have graduated in the class of 1936. He took part in school activities and was a student of promise. We. his friends, cannot help but think of the little selection from Wordsworth's Ode on Immortality,’’ which is: Our birth is but a step and forgetting: The soul that rises with us. our life’s Star. Hath had elsewhere its setting. And cometh from afar: Not in entire forgetfulness. And not in utter nakedness. But trailing clouds of glory do we come For God. who is our home.’’ -WE LIKE SCHOOL SPIRIT How many timet? after our recent pep meetings have we heard each other say, “Wasn’t that pep meeting keen? It surely showed some spirit.” There seems to be a thrill in hearing everyone yell and sing with a truly loyal voice. We secure much more satisfaction out of heariug the entire high room in an uproar rather than one particular corner After we have started such good work the only thing we can do is to keep it up so— MORE POWER TO US”.—V.

Aubrey Smith Una Merkel Charles Butterworth Warner Oland Ronald Colman returns to the screen in this new thriller in the person of the dashing Englishman, Captain Hugh ( Bulldog ) Drummond. He is supported by an excellent cast and supplied with a story in which he can display all his talents for bright comedy as well as serious acting. Una Merkel as the deserted bride and Charles Butterworth as the de- serting bridegroom afford a good many laughs, while Loretta Young. C. Au- brey Smith, and Warner Oland all seem fitted to their roles of the be- wildered heroine, the Scotland Yard inspector, and the sinister oriental, respectively. The plot concerns the ensuing ad- ventures of Drummond when he enters a home on a foggy night in London, finds the house seemingly unoccupied and a dead man on the sofa, and. on returning a few moments later with a policeman, discovers the house occupied by the oriental, absolutely no sign of a body, and a man sleep- ing on the same sofa as that on which the corpse had lain. What happens as a result of this Incident, you may find out by viewing the pic- ture when it comes to the Eaton theatre. As a whole this film is not quite up to the standard set by its predecessor, “Bulldog Drummond. but. neverthe- less. it remains thoroughly enter- taining screen fare.

According to Miss Dorothy Stewart, advisor of the junior class with Ter- ence Flower. ‘’Bab’’ will be presented December 19 only instead of Dec. 11, as formerly scheduled, because of the late arrival of playbooks. A single performance was decided upon be- cause. Miss Stewart says, ”A full house is more conducive to good act- ing than two half-filled ones.” Girl Reserves to Give Assembly Program November 20 is the date set for the Senior Girl Reserve assembly.

Displaying an exceptionally fast brand of football last Monday, Coach Lester Heistand’s football warriors emerged with a well earned 12-7 vic- tory over the Charlotte Orioles at Bennett Field. Eaton Rapids kicked off, and after Charlotte found Its offense stopped. Smith punted to mid field, whereon the second play. Squires, right half, galloped around right end for the I first touchdown. Rhines’ drop-kick I for the extra point was wide. AJ1 this happened within the first four minutes of play. After Smith had made a first down on an end sweep. Barnett intercepted a short pass and returned it to the I thirty yard line. Rhines then circled end and raced down the sidelines for the Cardinals second score. Rhines’ pass for the extra point was grounded. The first quarter ended a few min- utes later with Charlotte in possesion of the ball on its own twenty-one line. In the second quarter, the Cardinal offense started clicking again, but a bad pass from Cooley, Cardinal cen- ter, was recovered by Bobier to give Charlotte the ball on their forty-five yard line. A triple cutback netted a first down and after three line smashes had put the ball on the two yard line. Smith carried it over on a wide end run. Smith then converted with Dewey holding the ball. The half ended a little later with Eaton Rapids still holding on to Its slim margin of one touchdown. Charotte came back the third quarter with Smith throwing short passes. The Orioles marched from their twelve yard stripe to the forty yard line where they were stopped. The Islanders then started hack with Rhines tossing passes to Squires, but Briggs intercepted one of these on the Charlotte fifteen yard line.

As it was impossible to do this after the Hallowe en party, Charlotte school students take this means of ex- pressing their appreciation to Mayor Beechler, local merchants. Rotarians, and all others who co-operated in giving this evening of entertainment. Although several hundred yawning students were more interested in dis- cussing the good time of the night before than in thinking about lessons, most of the teachers had been to the party too. so all was well. Such events seem to bring students and townspeople into a closer rela- tionship. Ai.d to you. the sponsors, students unanimously say. “We enjoy them. —N. R. THEY SAY YOUTH WANTS HELP .... At the recent Dr. Barker assembly, do you remember Mayor Moore’s having announced a special youth progam to be given at the Methodist church on the following Sunday night? Both Reverend Rudolph Roth and Reverend George Mooers were to discuss the subject, Youth Questions the Church.” The event had grown out of a suggestion made at a previous Hi-Y meeting and high school students were especially invited to attend. With what response? Scarcely a dozen out of the 562 possible attendants were present. Small wonder that both pastors questioned: What (toes youth want?” Much thought had gone into the preparation of this program based upon reasons submitted to these men by each Hi-Y member concerning the causes of the majority of adolescents’ failure to attend church services. Was the compensation worth the effort? Obviously not. In recent years, the common trend has run toward youth movements. Why? Youth wants help ... so they say.— H. S. FROM AN EX-SEKIOR’S DIARY Thursday. October 11. 1945, I went to the 4-H Fair, and saw Wayne Bot- tomley and Eula Bush stalled along the road because of three burned rods, and a broken piston. Entered gate behind Audrey Tracey and Thomas Walsh. Got in free because of non- detection. Wandered over grounds and was attracted by Charles Hamil- ton. crying bally-hoo for the Three Bathing Beauties, Isabelle Kelly, Irma Hammond, and Delores Bouska. Next to the tent was surprised to find a midget show with Helen Youngs. Wendell Moore. Louise Horn, and Irma I iverty the chief attractions. Was very startled to see Kathryn Stringham as the bearded lady. (By the way. I learned she had a henna rinse at one time that was too strong and her hair started to come out. For fear she would be bald, she used juice from the roots of wild grape vine, and I guess it worked.) Met Helen Shep- herd and was introduced to her new S. P. Was about to go home when Reverend Harwood Smith informed me of the doub� e wedding to take place at 2:00. The couples being Joined were Margaret Ives. Dona’d Kimmel, Pat” Pouska and John Sherman. No wonder people like to get married at the fair, with such donations as Robert Munger’s Hardware is offering. Enjoyed fair very much, and guess I’ll come again next year and look up some more people. WHA T IF Will Rogers in “Judge Priest” From a Story By Irvin S.

Berton Churchill Juror No. 12 .................................................. Francis Ford Jeft Poindexter ........................................................Fitepin Fetchit Will Rogers at his best. This alone is enough to draw most confirmed movie fans to the theater, regardless of plot, supporting cast, or critical previews. In the role of Judge Priest. Will draws a human, lovable character. As in former pictures, he is drolly humorous, but in “Judge Priest”, sentiment has its place and you’re given an opportunity to shed a tear or two on the sly. One of the highlights of the picture shows Will imitating the lacka- daisical voice of Stepin Fetchit. the screen’s foremost negro comedian. Special acting honors go to Henry B. Walthall In the role of Rev. Ashby Brand, the kindly, self-sacrificing preacher who breaks an oath to save a man from prison. Francis Ford as Juror No. 12 provides a note of humor at suitable moments with the church-bell spittoon effect. The locale of the picture is a sleepy little Kentucky town in the period fol- lowing the Civil War. Each character necessary to the subsequent action is introduced in the first half of the picture, with very little plot interwoven. Then suddenly, things begin to happen. Flem Talley is knifed by Ben Gillis in the latter’s attempt to protect himself from a triple attack with billiard cues, Gillis brought to trial. Judge Priest forced from the bench by Senator Maydew. who is aspiring to the former’s position in the coming election, and some startling revelations made by Rev. Brand. The court- room scene is one of the most dramatic of any recent picture. The revela- tions of Rev. Brand are so unexpected that to disclose them would lessen your enjoyment of the film’s conclusion.

ORANGE BLACK CHARLOTTE PLAYS VOCATIONALS, 0-0 Last Friday afternoon the Charlotte and Vocational football elevens played to a scoreless tie at Dudley Held. Coach Hick's team was led by a strong line at which they aimed most of their ground gaining plays. Char- lotte was unable to pierce the Voc’s line and had to resort to long end runs and short quick passes. Char- lotte’s chance to score came when Smith heaved a long pass to Dewey on a sleeper” play putting the ball on the Voc’s 20 yard line, but were unable to advance the ball, so Dewey tried for a Held goal but was unsuc- cessful. As the game ended, the Vo- cational had possession of the ball on Charlotte's two yard line after hammering at the center of the line constantly. The lineup: Charlotte— Bolder.

Rural Students Plan Full Year The local rural students club will have a full calendar for this year, as soon as planning of activities is com- pleted by officers. So far this season, they have had one party which was held in October In the gym. About fifty members were present at this first of a series of parties to be held. Every Wednesday noon, about sixty members go to the Methodist church. Here they have their lunch, with a hot drink furnished by the ladies of the church. A short program is ar- ranged. various members taking part. At times, outside talent is provided. CLUB PREPARES RADIO LIBRARY During the last several weeks the radio club members have been pre- paring a library in which they may study and keep data concerning radios. This room is located off stage at the east side of the high room. The club meets every Monday night and so far they have had a very good attendance. Several members includ- ing Peter Barnhart. Dale Bryan, Bob” Bush, Lee Jones, and Ed. Morey have constructed receiving sets. SPEAKERS TALK TO BIBLE CLASS Mrs. D. J. Wight was the second attraction for the class. She read them the story of the Jews, telling many of the customs of this religion which were not found in the Bible. The Methodist minister, Reverend George Mooers. was the third speak- er. As the class was studying the Bible character Abraham, he at this time reviewed with them Abraham's life. The fourth speaker was Reverend C. J. Kendall from Center Eaton. Mr. Kendall gave the definition of the Bible and what it should mean. Also he spoke on the life of Jacob, and answered questions from the question box. Last Friday Reverend Roth of the Congregational church spoke to the class on the life of Joseph. Mr. Roth asked the class many questions on the subject, also answered questions. | Who’s Who In Sports ' By the Fact Finder’’ Among the greatest of all around athletes Charlotte high has ever seen is Donald Smith, a junior, who is Btarting his third year In quest of four more major letters to add to his previously acquired eight. In winning four major letters in his freshman year. Smith turned the trick that is so seldom done. That year as right forward on the basket ball quintet. Donald was given hon- orable mention on the all conference team. As a sophomore, the judges of the all conference contest chose Smith as second team quarterback on the foot- ball eleven and as second team right forward on the basketball team. In this same year young Smith helped his team-mates win the Central Six Conference championship in track. Don made 14% points of his teams total of 43. Opponents of Charlotte high fear the Orange and Blacks agile little quarterback and their fears are justi- fied for in Smith. Charlotte has a triple threat man, besides calling the signals Don kicks, passes, and is an excellent ball carrier.

Eaton Rapids, favored by the breaks, went into an early lead which they never relinquished. This game was by no means an upset as the teams went into the game with the odds about even. On Friday, Nov. 9, East Lansing took her third conference title in a row, beating Howell to the tune of 33-7. Prior to this game each team had won four and lost no conference games. This game was pretty much of an upset. East I ansing was fav- ored to win but by no such decisive margin. As this is written no news of the Mason-Grand Ledge game has reached our ears. It seems likely that Grand Ledge will come out the victor. But no matter which team wins it cannot close the season higher than fifth place. Scores of the Howell-Grand Ledge game played on Friday, Nov. 2, was Howell, 21; Grand Ledge, 12. On the same day East Lansing trimmed Ma- son, 39-0. And so, the curtain falls on the 1934 football season, but the 1934-35 basketball season will open soon. TRY OUR MALTED MILKS HOT CHOCOLATE AND SANDWICHES Charlotte Home Dairy Compliments of the R.

The gymnasium was decorated in Thanksgiving colors suitable to the occasion. The hostesses were cos- tumed as artists with gaily colored smocks. During the intermission the guests were entertained with music by the Kendall sisters and a tap dance oy Jean King. Dr. Clinton Sevener was the speak- er last Friday for the third in the series of vocational guidance talks be- ing presented to the senior class. “The choosing of a career is a most serious job, so you must apply your- self to the occupation you are best fitted for, stated Dr. Sevener. The life of a doctor affords great variety as he sees both the good and the bad sides. Dr. Sevener advises not to under- take a medical career if one intends to make money, for every cent is earned and put back into the business. Medicine is the oldest profession as well as one of the most honorable. To enter this profession, one is required to have good health, average intelli- gence, and a sympathetic feeling for human nature The high school requirements neces- sary are algebra, geometry, physics, and at least two years of a foreign language. The work of a student at medical college is very intensive. Approxi- mately one-third fail to carry on be- cause of failure. In my opinion there is a large field for women doctors,” stated the speak- er. About four percent of the medical graduates are women. STUDENT COUNCIL SPONSORS ANNUAL CHARITY DRIVE E. Kiplinger and D.

Why? Because on this day the local warriors lost the decisive battle of the gridiron warfare. This defeat ended a two months conflict in which the soldiers of the Orange and Black won two victories and lost five out of nine contests. In every important battle the important question is. did you do your best? If so there are no regrets. The Charlotte boys never gave up. They fought to the finish, but it was a great army against a great army, and to lose was no disgrace. Unlike the end of that great struggle sixteen years ago the army of the Orange and Black Is not through fighting. All except a few of the soldiers will return in September to again fight for supremacy in the football realm. With almost a year to gain experience and physical development this re- turning army will be able to smash through those barracades to victory, and on Armistice day 1935 to tear down the Red and Gray and proudly raise the Orange and Black in its place. Audrey Tracy wants to know what a cub is. The Orange and Black extends happy Thanksgiving wishes to all its readers. Adolph Zukor Presents ’ ‘MRS.

Edith Fellows Asia Wiggs...........................................Carmencita Johnson Europena Wiggs..........................................Virginia Weidler Undoubtedly, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch will rank as one of the outstanding pictures of the year. It is sufficiently faithful to the famous book by Alice Hegan Rice to satisfy even the most fastidious of critics, which probably accounts for much of its popular appeal. Paramount sees a new star in Pauline Lord, who plays the title role. She seems ideally suited for this characterization, her film debut, because of her marked possession of sympathetic, emotional, and humorous trails. Surely, she is a welcome addition to the screen. Zasu Pitts not only plays Miss Hazy, she IS Miss Hazy, the fluttery, droll little woman, who is seeking a husband. As for W. C. Fields, he remain the same gruff, blustery sort of person as in The Old-Fashioned Way and You’re Telling Me. Lovely Evelyn Venable and Kent Taylor provide the love interest, al- though in the initial scenes, they are experiencing a lovers’ quarrel. The geographically-named children also merit special recognition for their splendidly natural acting. The Wiggses are a poverty-stricken, yet happy family residing in a tumble-down shack on the wrong side” of the tracks. Mr. Wiggs has been missing for five years, having “thunk himself into taking a long journey the same number of years previous. Lucy brings a Thanksgiving day feast to the family, and is visited at their home by Bob. her fiance. He notices Jimmy’s racking cough and arranges for him to go to the hospital for treat- ment. Billy builds up quite a business peddling kindling wood with the as- sistance of an old wornout work-horse, which he has adopted. He succeeds in getting five tickets for a show from one sale, and during the performance, Mrs. Wiggs is called to the hospital Just in time to be with Jimmy when he dies. Then suddenly, out of all the troubles of the Wiggses comes a happy solu- tion. If you've read the book, you'll know what happens, but if you haven’t, see the picture—well, see it, anyway. This event is of double significance, since it is scheduled for tomorrow. Thanksgiving, at the Eaton theatre, and the picture opens with a celebration of this same holiday. Hail to the chief! Behold his ma- jesty the “Turk , king of the Thanks- giving festivities. No other monarch in the history of civilization has ever been in power as long as his royal highness. The Pilgrims instituted his reign on the shores of New England one November day in 1621. He has witnessed a coun- try grow from a few log cabins on the Atlantic coast to one of millions of homes from coast to coast. With it all, he has steadily increased in popu- larity and in power. How beautiful he looks dressed in his rich brown robes as he takes his place on the spotless white throne. Dressed in robes of red velvet, Chan- cellor Crann Berrie is seated on his right. Writh moisture ready to flow from the lips of his subject they take their places around the throne. As they raise their bowed heads he speaks thus: “Come on and carve; what other use am I? I have lived my life. May all that I possess Be as a tasty morsel to you. And tho. If thou would’st enjoy a treat upon this occasion Carve into my flesh. More turkeys Are consumed on Thanksgiving day Than this world dreams of.” And so at the close of the day’s festivities his majesty is no more. But he is immortal, and will come again to bring the treat of Thanks- giving to millions of homes. I I ! 1 I T I ! ? T 1 1 !

That we could never win. Somebody said we lost our punch Or had none, to begin. Somebody said our team was weak, And never should have played. And they remarked the line was bght And the backs'' were all afraid. Somebody said our passes failed. And punts went always wide. That we could easily have won. If we'd at all have tried. They said our ends” played out too far. That signals were forgotten. They said that the team, as a whole. Was poor; In fact was rotten. The sun sank fast that afternoon. The crossbars, shadow’s cast.

ORANGE BLACK Pa Coach Sprandel Speaks Before Travelers’ Club Coach Walter Sprandel of Olivet college was the speaker of the eve- ning at the travel club's regular bi- weekly meeting held Nov. 15 at the high school. Mr. Sprandel and a friend started in 1926 from their native state of Min- nesota and traveled west to Portland, Oregon, where they secured passage as deck hands on a steamer. Coach Sprandel had the misfortune of being a victim of chronic seasickness. He was on board boat four months and sick three. The two visited Yokohoma. Japan, shortly after a great earthquake, and as the speaker stated. It looked as if everything had been destroyed. In China, their next stop, the most noticable thing was the extreme pov- erty of the country. Many thousands I of people die yearly in the streets. While docked in the Philippine Is- lands. Mr. Sprandel Jumped ship” and j traveled to the Island of Luzon where j he taught school for some time. The speaker concluded his speech j by saying that the Philippine children are anxious to go to school ami that ' the severest penalty is to send them ] borne for a day.

BARNHILL CALLS INITIAL PRACTICE Monday afternoon, November 19, Coach Ken Barnhill called the first basket ball practice of the 1934-35 sea- son with thirty fellows reporting. When asked if he thought Char- lotte would take the conference title this year. Coach Barnhill replied cryptically, Sure . However, it is thought that he is not so positive of the fact as his statement would imply. The team lost through graduation. Carl Youngs, all-conference guard, and Harold Sloan, who received hon- orable mention as a guard. To have a winning outfit, two good substitutes for these departed stars will have to be found. The coach has been using VanAuken as guard and putting Schroeder in at center. Boys out for basket ball are: Briggs, Dewey. Smith, VanAuken. Gee. Cole, Durner. Barnhill, Collins, Putnam, Harshman, Burke. Rummel. Willis, Thomas. Fisher. Cheney. Russell. Mel- ior. Flaherty. Jones, Clark, Fletcher, Weaver. Keehne. Kaess, King, Fuller- ton. and Schroeder. I.

I have no chance at all of choos- ing the pictures I want,” Mr. Beechler stated. This year, for instance, I bought fifty-two pictures from Para- mount. Of these fifty-two pictures only two were already made. About the other pictures I knew nothing be- yond who a few of the actors were to be. He went on to state that a picture could be made either good or bad ac- cording to the night on which it was shown. Here in town.” he said, Sunday and Monay, and Friday and Saturday are considered to be family night, and pictures are shown which would be suitable to all ages. On Tuesday and Wednesday people come for the pic- ture.” If a picture is not already sold to the public before I buy it, the picture is not likely to be much of a success. The pictures are played up when they are first new and it is this advertising that sells the picture to the public. The stars will also sell the picture.” Mr. Beechler then gave the members of the club a chance to ask any ques- tions which they cared to. Among the revelations wfhich were brought forth were the facts that the short features were also bought in block style, that Universal was the only major studio that made serials, that the titles of i pictures were often changed after I their release, and that foreign pic-1 tures, as a rule, were not as popular as American ones. After Mayor Beechler's speech Har-| wood Smith gave a short talk on the choosing of plays for a high school performance, and Virginia Raidle gave a few ways in which we might adver- tise school plays. BIBLE CLASS HAS SPEAKERS Mrs. Kiplinger's 6th hour Bible | study class has of late been fortunate in securing several fine speakers. Last week Rev. Roth presented a dis- | cussion on the life of Joseph. Yes-, terday Miss Kemp of the Salvation Army was the guest speaker of the Bible study class. It is expected that next Monday Dr. Lester Sevener. an elder in the Adventist church, will give a short speech, the subject being of his own choice. Prindle Speaks On Avocation Mrs. Gertrude B. Prindle gave a talk on her hobby, bottle collecting, at the rural students meeting Wednesday. Mrs. Prindle had a collection of more than 150 bottles. Some were as old as Civil War days. All types were among her collection from ink bottles to wine flasks. The largest bottle in her collection was exhumed from a basement in an old house in Chicago. It is believed to be an old wine flask from the days when every- one had his own wine cellar. She also discussed the fact that the age of bot- tles can be told by their markings. The speaker also explained glass making and told about the different methods of making bottles. She introduced and concluded her speech by commenting on the need of a hobby. She stated that her own particular hobby had covered a period of years.

De- ember 1 and 2. What Is ahead for youth was the theme of this year's conference, each speaker building his speech around that main topic, with groups discuss- ing the underlying subjects which came under the main heading of youth problems today. Dr. Harry Gldeonse. a brilliant speaker and professor from the Uni- versity of Chicago, dealt mainly with the present economic condition, na- tional and International relations, tariff, and taxes. Dr. Gldeonse said. “Youth Is not wanted in this present day. changing world. and with ex- amples and explanations of timely conditions he pointed out that today’s youth was up against a wall of political, economic, and financial con- ditions, and perhaps the main ob- stacle of individual vocations.

CAST OF JUNIORS TO PRESENT ‘BAB’ NEXT WEDNESDAY Ruth Martin To Appear As Heroine In Title Role Of Annual Play STEWART LAUDS CAST Junior actors are scheduled to ap- pear next Wednesday evening for a single presentation of Mary Roberts Rinehart's Bab , with Ruth Martin in the title role. This year’s production is a four-act farclal comedy revolving around a seventeen-year-old girl’s attempts to prove to her parents that she is grown-up. not still a child, as they seem to consistently regard her. Mat- ters become somewhat complicated when an actor. Guy Grosvenor, whose picture Bab has shown to her parents as her supposed lover, appears on the scene. Miss Dorothy Stewart, junior ad- visor. has selected the following cast: BAB ...................Ruth Martin Garter Brooks .................Bill Bobier James Archibald ..............James Fink Mrs. Archibald. . .Dolore Montgomery Leila Archibald.......Margaret Cox Jane Raleigh........Donis Raymond Clinton Beresford....Harold Weaver Eddie Perkins......Hollis Patterson Guv Grosvenor ..........BUI Cheney William ..........Gaylord Gardner Har.nah ..........Cecelia Schroeder The first act takes place in the morning room at the Archibald’s country house on a cool afternoon in May: Act II. in the morning room, the next day—Scene I, (three-minute intermission); Scene II, night of the same day; Act III. Bachelors’ Quar- ters” in the Archibald boathouse, a few minutes to twelve, the same night: and Act IV. the boathouse as in Act III. an afternoon three weeks later. Miss Stewart says, concerning the play: Practices are going very satis- factorily, and each person seems to fit his part exceptionally well. Commit- tees are now at work in preparation for the event. As usual, the stage is to be repapered. “In ’Bab’, there is the common sit- uation of a girl making up a boy- friend. who suddenly appears—with very embarrassing consequences. “In my opinion, this is one of the best written plays (and also one of the most expensive) since ‘In the Next Room.’ five years ago.

But history tells us that perhaps this ancient custom comes indirectly from the Romans, being first imported into Germany by the conquering legions of Drusus. Nevertheless those fierce Northmen revered the tree as symbolic of God. because of its never dying foliage. Today we still keep this quaint, delightful custom. We place gay trinkets and lights on our Christmas trees, putting a bright one at the top to repre- sent the star of Bethlehem. At the foot we place gifts as the wise men placed gifts at the foot of the Christ Child, thereby bringing Joy to all on Christmas day.—E. C. HELP FOR THE SENIORS Without a doubt the series of vocational guidance talks being given to the seniors is one of the greatest benefits of the age. Of the ninety students to be graduated from Charlotte high in June, per-! haps one-fourth know today the profession which they desire to enter. To the others it remains an undiscovered element. Two things to consider in choosing a profession are: Do you like that work? Have you the qualities necessary to be a success in that vocation? To answer these questions you must be familiar with the work. In the vocational talks a representative of various professions gives a picture of the work of various vocations so that you see yourself a success or a failure in it. It is a sad thing to be a misfit in the world of employment. Too often this situation occurs through lack of information and self analysis. But thanks to the efforts of “Bob” Stine, senior class president, his advisors, Principal Harlan McCall, Jay Dykhouse and those speakers who present the talks, no member of this year’s senior class will enter a vocation blindly.—P.

KETTI GALLIAN MAKES HER DEBUT In “Marie Galante ft I Cast: Marie Galante ...................................................Ketti Callian Crawbett ..............................................................Spencer Tracy Plosser ...........................................................Ned Sparks Tapia ................................................... Helen Morgan Brogard ...................................................Siegfried Rumann General Phillips .......................................................Arthur Byron Sam ...........................................................Stepin Fetchit Marie Galante.” a Fox picture coming to the Eaton theater next Sun- day and Monday. December 24 and 25. serves to introduce a sparkling new European importation, blond Ketti Gallian. Fox executives certainly made no mistake in casting Miss Gallian for this part—her beauty, personal charm, and talent are enough to grace any screen. Her contract stipulated that she must learn to speak correct English in three months when she arrived in America last Christmas, and she has done remarkably well, retaining only a faintly charming foreign accent. In “Marie Galante” she plays the part of a French girl, devoted to her country, who is kidnapped by a drunken captain and transplanted into the Panama Canal zone. Here she becomes dangerously involved in an inter- national intrigue, while working in a night club in order to pay her passage back to her native land. Spencer Tracy, that always dependable actor, plays opposite Miss Gallian and does a remarkable job as the young American who at first suspects her of being a spy and then comes to her rescue in time of great peril. Siegfried Rumann. a great character actor, who may rival Lon Chaney in his versatility, distinguishes himself in the role of the arch-plotter. Brogard. In addition. Miss Gallian is surrounded by an excellent supporting cast, with comedy chiefly supplied by Ned Sparks and Stepin Fetchit. Incidentally, besides serving to introduce the promising newcomer, “Marie Galante” features three new songs likely to prove pretty popular during the coming season: “It’s Home,” Song of a Dreamer,” and “Serves Me Right for Treating You Wrong.” Making love while the moon shines Block—Say, I went to college, stupid, is where the son shines.—Hastings Sully—Yes, and you came back, Fortnight.

Oh, yes. you know the rest of this miniature masterpiece, but I’ll bet anything you don’t know its author’s name. Probably not one in a thous- and ever heard of Dr. Clement Clarke Moore in connection with this poem beloved of children the world over. You are undoubtedly surprised to learn of its composer, but then. Dr. Moore, were he living today, would probably be even more surprised at the longevity of his writing. Clement Clarke Moore was a learned professor of Greek and Hebrew at the General Theological Seminary in New York City. The Night Before Christmas.” or. as it was primarily called. “A Visit From St. Nicholas”, was emphatically not written for pub- lication. On the contrary, it was composed as a present for his chil- dren on Christmas. 1882. One day soon after Christmas, the eldest daughter of the Rev. Dr. David Butler, a close friend of Moore, came to visit the latter’s family. Dr. Moore’s daughter read the now famous selec- tion to her guest, and the latter copied it in her album. She was so impress- ed with the poem that she submitted it to the editor of the Troy Sentinel, who published it on December 23. 1883. At first Dr. Moore was somewhat displeased at the publication of his verses, but finally reconciled himself to the fact with the thought that they might bring happiness to other children as well as his own. So “A Visit from St. Nicholas lives on to gladden the hearts of the children of the future: ’Twaa the night before Christmas. When all through the house” And you know the rest. Smocks Cop Spotlight In Fashion Attractions Green, blue. pink. red. checkered, striped and dotted smocks are garb- ing the high school girls in one of the most popular styles of dress in years. The popularity of the garments re- sulted from the recent “Artist’s Ball . It was at this autumn frolic that the •fad” made its debut. The high school has apparently be- come the artists' domain, and a strang- er coming into the building might easily mistake it for Greenwich Vil- lage. Interviews with non wearers of smocks resulted in the following com- ments in regard to the new garments: “I think the smocks are attractive, and offer a diversion from ordinary clothes.” said Mrs. Marena Kiplinger. Bob Taylor expressed his opinion by saying. “I think the things are ducky.” “They will at least save dresses.” said Mr. Flower. A laugh was the first answer to be obtained from Mr. Van Vessem. How- ever. he continued. I think they are a great invention. If I had my way all women would wear smocks, but not pink ones.” Evidently Jack doesn’t approve of pink. Oh! is that what those funny things are.” was the answer received from Bob Stine. XMAS SPECIALS § J Dearest Santa Claus: I’m an awful homely little girl, Santa, and I do so want to be beauti- ful.

A T THE WEDDING OF THE FLOWERS At four o'clock in the lily-old-church of the valley the chimes of the blue- bell rang out announcing the wedding of John-Quill to his gypsy bride. Blackeyed Susan. He had finally gained the courage and astor to marry him. To the soft sweet strains of Narcis- sus the bride marched up the aisle on the army of her poppy to the preacher Jack-in-the-Fulpit. The bride was dressed in a beautiful gown of silk violet and carried a bouquet of golden- rods. Her bridesmaids. Daisy and Myrtle, wore rose, and carried dande- lions. Sweet William, tiny brother of the bride, carried the ring in a ladys- slipper. After being pronounced man and wife their tulips met in a forget-me- not fashion and the phlox threw snowballs instead of the customary rice. They will reside at their home in Clover. ORANGE Si BLACK C. H. S- TO APPEAR IN INITIAL GAME Coach Barnhill will take his Orange and Black cagers to Hastings tomor- row night to inaugurate the 1934-35 basketball schedule for Charlotte High. Twenty fellows in all will com- prise the teams making the trip as the contest is a double-header with the first and second teams both playing. The coach has his squad well drilled and they have shown an exception- ally fast-breaking offense in their scrimmages in the few practice games they have played with the alumni. Smith and Van Auken have been working well at the forward posts slong witlh Schroeder at center and Barnhill and Dewey at guard. They are functioning smoothly and it is the belief that tomorrow night's game will decide the question of Coach Barnhill's strategy in shifting the plavers around considerably from last year's squad. The first game will be a week from tomorrow night. December 21, with Mason furnishing the opposition for two games. Charlotte Wins Practice Game Charlotte high won its first prac- tice basketball game of the season last Wednesday when It downed the Alum- j nl 24-22 In the local gym. Erratic passing and inaccurate shooting kept the Orange and Black score down. The graduates led throughout the fracas until the last part of the third quarter. Seven points behind at the half, the locals fought hard and held the Alum- ni to three points while they piled up ten to tie it up 17 all. In the fourth quarter the Alumni started out strong and built up a lead of 22-17 before the locals got under way. Baskets by Smith. Collins, and Barnhill, together with a free throw by Dewey, made the winning margin in the last four minutes of play. Van Auken and G. Collins played stellar games for Charlotte while D.

DeFoe Talks to SINGERS APPEAR Seniors About Vocation IN ASSEMBLY Republican-Trihunr Editor Discusses Journalistic Problems; Praises Monitor. Muri H. DeFoe, editor of the Char- lotte Republican-Tribune, in his talk to the seniors last Friday, quoted the following from the Chicago Tribune: , “The newspaper is an institution de- veloped by modern civilization to present the news of the day, to foster commerce and industry, to inform and lead public opinion, and to furnish that check upon government which no constitution has ever been able to provide.” He stated that it is often a more difficult job to leave out news than it is to put it in. as so much copy is un- printable. The Republican-Tribune has sixty correspondents throughout the county, besides news from private individuals who attempt to have more or less private affairs printed. Often- times court affairs are suppressed by the judge. Other times only the ini- tials of the persons involved are used. He spoke of the Christian Science Monitor as the greatest example of newspaper published. “The New York Times is another great newspaper,” said Mr. DeFoe. “while the Los Ange- les Times is the best on the western coast.” Hearst is an important news- paper chain controlling twenty-one newspapers. He said that probably the Lindbergh flight was the greatest piece of news In the last fifty years. “There is an open field for Journal- ists. both boys and girls.” said Mr. De- Foe. “although not so large as for- merly. Besides reporting, there is ad- vertising, feature and circulation.” To those wishing to take up this profes- sion. he advised knowing the Bible and Shakespeare. He concluded by answering any questions his audience wished to ask. Browne’s Metropolitan Jubilee Sing- ers appeared in an assembly as the third lyceum number of the year Tuesday. December 4. Such popular Negro songs as “I Got Shoes . “Way Down Upon The Suwanee River , and “Carry Me Back to Old Virginia”, were sung by the artists. Bill Cheney acted as chairman for the day. THE CHRISTMAS OF A SOLDIER Dear Folks: Tonight I heard the church bells ring, And so I left my tent. I thought of all the Christmas eves. That you and I have spent. I walked out over drifting banks, 'Neath thickly falling snow. On o'er a battle-field of late. Where only crosses grow. It seems I helped Dad cut a tree And haul it home to trim. I set It In the same old place With candle-light so dim. I lived again that whole great night. And brought again to mind. The joyous cries next morning brought With each and every find. I heard again the old home thrills That come with Christmas day. | Yet dreams they were, and I awoke. I To find them torn away. In Flanders Field ’tis Christmas eve. More crosses soon will grow . For every day adds yet one more I-ong ghastly, dismal, row. God grant that soon this war shall end. And w’e be homeward bound. That no more we shall race with death. Nor hear that bugle sound. Evans Talks On Philippine Isles Mr. Frank Evans was the speaker 4t the December 6 meeting of the Travel Club. The subject on which Mr. Evans spoke was the Philippine Islands. Having been born and raised there, he is perfectly familiar with them. The speaker gave a little descrip- tion as to the appearance of the is- lands. and discussed the schools and school system. Mr. Evans for the most part talked about the island of Luzon. Some description was given of a few south- ern islands. There are two capitals,” stated Mr. Evans. “The one above Manilla is much too hot in summer, so it is used only during the cool seasons of the year.” Tonight I’m thinking of you all And wishing I were there. Away from all these tiring ways. This sickening drummers’ blare. Rut. here I am just dreaming Of a dream that won’t come true. Though every night I’m praying That I’ll soon be home to you. —Raymond Dowker. Young’s Jewelry Shop A Merry Christmas To You All Albert Murray Community Oil Co.

SMITH Gallant Senior Female Looks for Horse Hair On the recent Girl Reserve scaven- [ ger hunt, a brave and gallant senior jgirl (notice: not classed as dignified) : went diligently in search of a horse’s hair. Suddenly the idea came to her ! where such a thing could be found and she loudly yelled. To the dray barn! Quickly!’’ Securing a flashlight from a neigh- bor, the brave lass strode fearlessly into the barn. As she came to the back part she realized she was in the right place by the farm yard odor. She had almost forgotten she was subject to hay fever! Approaching a stable dauntlessly Little Miss Brave learned only in the speck of time that the occupant was a cow instead of the much sought ani- I mat. Spying a horse in the adjoining stable, she reached for his tail, but oh i my! What, happened then? The i horse moved and every bit of courage vanished from her gallant heart. Af- ter stumbling and tripping over the I farm implements which stood in the way on her rapid journey to the car. j she persuaded a handsome youth to j perform the act.

Second Year Students Organize French Circle Second year French students organ- ized a French club December 13 in class. This is the first local organi- sation of its kind, since that sponsored by Miss Hicks several years ago. Thelma Burns was the chairman of the first meeting with Howard Bond serving as her assistant. A report on French Sports and Amusements” was given by Esther Zanger. “In general”, she said, “France is not a sport loving country; tourists bring their own sports. Frenchmen walk for their amusement, and the theatre Is the biggest attraction. There are about a hundred theatres in Paris.” One of the greatest pleasures of a Frenchman is conversation. He uses no slang. The club's officers as elected at the meeting are: Mademoiselle la presi- dente, Thelma Burns; Monsieur le vice president, Howard Bond; Made- moiselle la secretaire, Margaret Smith; and Mademoiselle la porteuse de chaise de la programme, Esther Zan- ger.

LOCAL ART CLUB BEGINS STUDY OF NEW HANDICRAFT Pottery Making and Basket Weaving to Comprise Semester Projects Already the art club has established itself as an active high school organi- zation. Pottery making, under the direction of Miss Beatrice Williams, is to be the club’s next project. Different varieties, such as Greek and Indian with their methods of making, are to be first studied. The coil system has been selected by the club in creating vases. These will be baked in the kilns of the Grand Ledge Clay Product Co. It will take about two months to completo the project. Basket weaving out of raffia is an- other handicraft the club members anticipate. The art club began its year's activi- ties by binding the teachers’ director- ies, small booklets with sponge tinted covers. The Artists' Ball, a party given in the gymnasium November 23, was a successful social event sponsored by the club. The proceeds from it are to be used In the purchase of needed working equipment. Members found that cartoons copied from newspapers and done in black and white made clever Christmas cards. Red lined envelopes added color and carried out the festive air.

Not only because he gave us an excuse to stay out all night but because those who need au excuse also have one to forget their old mistakes and start over again. Life can be compared to writing a theme, practicing football, or making a piece of clothing. Our work becomes • messy and we grow careless. As long as we worked on that one piece of cloth or paper, it would become no better because we would have the old before us to spoil the new. no matter how well done. Given new material, we could make the same work much better. There is something inspirational about the thought that we can begin all over again with a clean slate. Something within us striving for perfec- tion finds an outlet in this thought w'hich buoys us up and gives us something to live for and to look forward to. There is an old fable of two frogs in a pitcher of cream. One immediately gave up and drowned but the other bravely jumped and kicked until the cream turned to butter and he safely perched on top.

Barnum..............................................Wallace Beery Bailey Walsh.................................. Adolphe Menjou Jenny Lind....................................... Virginia Bruce Nancy Barnum.................................................Janet Beecher Ellen .........-....-.......................... Rochelle Hudson Skiff ...............................................John Hyams Wallace Beery is again starred in an important picture of the year! ; Taken from the original story by Gene Fowler and Bess Meredyth, Wallace Berry plays the leading role as “P. T. Barnum.” that famous ringmaster, who even in his moments of defeat, was the greatest showman of them all.” Adolphe Menjou, comes in order for dramatic honor when he success- fully fills the part of Bailey Walsh, ’ a pal and then later a partner of j Barnum. As Jenny Lind , Nancy Barnum , and Ellen , Virginia Bruce. Janet Beecher, and Rochelle Hudson play their parts, in the play exceedingly well. Business is bad in the General Store of P. T. Barnum of Bowery Street in New York City in the year 1835. As a hobby Barnum spends his time collect- ing freaks.—two-headed cats, three-headed frogs, and two-tailed dogs. etc. Finally Barnum purchased a livery stable and he and his friend Bailey Walsh opened a freak museum which later collapsed. At this point Barnum became discouraged and contemplated seriously going back to New England with his wife. But who should come along but Tom Thumb, the midget. He. when he sees that great showman all ready to admit defeat, offers to marry Lavinia, another midget, and try to get the show started again. Would this help? Can he do it alone? A good chance to see this circus play is given all. It is scheduled to play at the Eaton Theatre next week. See it! r, ..- ■ = Freaky Facts About Sports Basket ball Is probably the one! game that enjoys the unique distine- i lion of having been invented by one man at one sitting. In 1891 a lecturer was speaking on physchology at the Y. M. C. A. in Plainsfleld. Mass., and cited the need of a game with the limitations of our present game of basket ball. The same night, James Xaismith. a member of the class, worked out the game of basket ball as an example of the game mentioned by the lecturer. The next day it was l ut in practice by members of the gymnasium classes. From there it soon spread to other branches of the Y , and to athletic clubs and schools. Football, on the other hand, is an old game that has been played for many centuries. The ancient Greeks and Romans were the originators of the game in B. C. times. During the Middle Ages a form of football was popular in Italy and England. How- ever the English kings were opposed to the game because it lessened the interest in archery. Football was first played in America by the English at the Virginia Colony in 1609. About 1840 the game of football made its appearance at some of the eastern universities. From then on. interest in the game increased rapidly. Now nearly every school and college has a football team. A game of ball similar to baseball was played by the ancient Greeks and Romans. However the actual game of baseball sprang from the English game of rounders . Early American settlers played a game similar to rounders entitled town ball . How- ever the present game of baseball originated with the Knickerbocker club, organized in New York City in 1845. Soon after the introduction of baseball many ball clubs sprang into existence. In 1907 a committee made a research of baseball. Rules were established and soon the game became America’s national sport. Hockey, although not a well known game, is quickly becoming a favorite with the sport fans. The game was first played by the Norwegians around 1300. Not until 1876 was a code of rules formulated. By 1907 the sport became an international favorite. Now the game is played by many col- leges. high schools, and professional clubs. We wonder how many students went right home after the midnight show New Year's eve. Court Convicts Local Criminal Milton Briggs was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced by Judge Jacob Van Vessem to serve a life term In Jackson prison with hand labor consisting of t n hours of dishwashing and potato peel- ing each day. This case was started the Friday before the holidays and because the defendant and several other main figures in the case had planned social engagements during the holiday sea- son, the court was adjourned until the day after New Year’s. The court was called to order by Circuit Judge Van Vessem and mis- taking the hammer which Briggs used in the murder of William Cheney for the gavel, got his hand in the phoney blood. Charles Hamilton, t h e silver tongued prosecuting attorney, called in some of the outstanding citizens of the school and through his ques- tioning and the grueliugs of Pete” Mason, the attorney for the defense, much personal as well as beneficial evidence was found. Thomas Walsh was the man who found the victim In a pool of blood when he came up stairs after his galoshes Tuesday night. The third witness was Miss Norma Paton. one of Cheney’s former lady friends and also admired by Briggs. A motive for the murder was provided by the fact that she had been to the Junior play with Cheney and Briggs evidently was jealous. This is what Mr. Hamilton stressed in his plea to the jury. When Briggs gave his testimony it was found he had been playing poker with Francis Flaherty, a local plumb- er, and with whose tools Cheney was murdered. Mr. Mason. Briggs at- ; torney, said that his client did not like I girls and this brought many boos j from the court. Mason was asked to sit down. In Mason's plea to the jury his main point was that the prosecutor and h s witness were all messed up. In his plea. Hamilton insisted that Cheney was murdered by Briggs be- cause of jealousy. He also brought in i a telegram from J. Edgar Hoover of I Washington. D. C.. which stated that he thought Briggs was guilty and i should be convicted. The jury was dismissed and re- :timed In one minute and a half with the verdict of guilty''. Foreman of the jury Byron Fields demanded that j Briggs be strung up. Since there is no capital punishment in Michigan, he rec ived the former sentence. This case was a most fair trial even ! in that the attorney for the defense 1 ad whispered to Foreman Fields sev- eral times throughout the trial.

ORANGE A BLACK C. H. S. TO BATTLE ISLANDER QUINTET Tomorrow night Coach Kenneth Barnhill and his basketball protoges journey to Eaton ltapids to engage the Islanders in the Orange and Black's second conference game of the season. It will be an unbeaten squad of Orioles that take the floor at eight o'clock to engage the fast going Red- birds. In the Orioles' last encounter with Mason here, it was only by means of a large lead gained by the locals in the third period that enabled them to go scoreless through the fourth quarter and still win. With nearly two weeks more practice, the local quintet is expected to be in top con- dition for their Island City encounter. Approximately 18 fellows, compris- ing both first and second teams, will make the journey. They are as fol- lows. Smith. Dewey. VanAuken. Col- lins. Schroeder, Barnhill, Jones, Wil- lis. Cheney.

December 14, for the first victory of the season. Hastings enjoyed an early lead, but Charlotte with fast passing and shoot- ing, soon overcame the lead and at the half was ahead 11 to 7. The next half some very good de- fense work was exhibited by both teams. Charlotte held the Blue and Gold to two foul shots, while Hastings allowed the Orioles only five points. George Collins was high point man for Charlotte, with 10 points. Smith and Dewey each registerd 3. White led the scoring for Hastings with 3 points, while Ransom and I awrence each chalked up one field goal. The Charlotte reserves lost a close game to the Hastings seconds, by a score of 9 to 7.

Mason took the lead early in the game, but Charlotte came back to lie the game up. At the end of the first period the game was deadlocked at 4 to 4. From then on the Oriole's took the lead and kept it for the dura- tion of the game. Erratic ball hand- ling by the Maroon and Blue was the primary cause of the defeat. Fouls also play-ed au important part in the, game. Slusser and Yerke were sent from the game because of tendencies to rough the play. The final period began with Char- lotte leading 21 to 9. The Orange and Black cagers appeared to have lost their scoring punch, since the Maroon i and Blue quintet chalked up ten points while holding the local squad scoreless. Slusser, forward, and King, guard, led the loser's scoring six points J apiece. Lyle Azeltine. center, was j next with five points, and Yerke. a guard, was credited with the remain-j ing two points. Smith led the scoring for Charlotte with nine points. Collins came next | with seven. VanAuken made three, and Cheney came through with the re- maining two. Lyle Azeltine, who usually goes on a scoring spree, seemed to be unable to break away from Mark Van Auken, one of the finest defensive centers in the conference. Van Auken acted as captain for the game. In the preliminary game, the Char- lotte reserves tied the Mason seconds by a score of 11 to 11.

After the club and its guests had finished a potluck planned by Dale Hennings, the meeting was turned over to Ed” Cheney, who in turn intro- duced Mr. Hennink who led a round table discussion on Christmas, and what it should mean to us.” At the December 2 meeting of the club, it was decided that an initiation for the new members should be held in the near future. At this meeting the club also appointed a committee to plan for an inter-club series of vo- cational guidance speeches which would be prepared and delivered by members of the local Hi-Y. Like Father, Like Son Munger Trails Munger The truth of this old saving was illustrated during the past football season when Robert Munger. half back of the 1934 eleven, followed in the footsteps of his dad to fight for Charlotte high. Duray Munger, Bob's father, played end with the first army to fight for the glory of the school in 1893. Two other leading citizens of Char- lotte. Floyd Griffin and Judge R. R. McPeek, were also fighters with that first team—then they say an athlete is just an athlete. The principal of the school at that time, organized the team on his own initiative. These boys showed the present day players up as '•softies be- cause almost all of their plays hit the line, and the players had no pads in their home made suits. Neither Mr. Munger nor Mr. Grif- fin could remember the games played that season but both agreed they never beat Eaton Rapids. The reason they gave was that Eaton Rapids did not have a football team until several years later. The members of that first gridiron army were: Martin, center: Wheaton, guard: Harrington, guard; Roach and CogsdiU. tackle; Munger and Wins- low. ends; McPeek and GrifTIn, half- backs; Huggett, quarterback; Hartel. fullback.

The topic of the speech was based on plays. Charles told about the preparation of a play from the time it is chosen until it is presented. First, the play is picked, and suitable characters are chosen for it. Then comes the fixing of the stage and costuming. Charles showed several different ways in which furniture might be arranged on the stage. The club then discussed the various ways of arrang- ing furniture so as to obtain the best effects. The next meeting will be held Jan- uary 17. The committees for the dramatics club plays have been posted on the bulletin board. One of these plays will be presented before the Woman’s club sometime in the month of Feb- ruary. The meeting of January 31 has been dedicated as a parents’ night and the plays will be presented at that time.

Although the enrollment of ninety- eight members is slightly below that of last year the travel club still holds the record of having the largest mem- bership of any high school club. The travel club was started in Charlotte high school eight or nine years ago by Aletha Ellsworth, former history teacher. The first group of which there is any record was in 1928, which had a membership of fifty- seven. Club Hear� Travel Talks The only outside speaker to talk to the club so far this year has been Coach Walter Sprandle, of Olivet col- lege, who talked of his trip around the world. Local people who ap- peared before the group are “Tex” Evans, who told about the Philippine Islands and Hans Kardel, who spoke of his native country, Denmark. Jake Van Vessem, co-advisor of the club, related his experience on a journey through the south and east. Two meetings have been devoted to talks by the members of the club. Plans are to be made soon for the annual banquet which will be held sometime next semester. At the last meeting Harwood Smith was appoint- ed chairman of the banquet plans. Officers of this group are as fol- lows: President, Ann Colizzl; vice vice president, Wendell Moore; sec- retary, Norma Paton; and treasurer, Russell Sparks.

At a pre-conference session held In Lansing, Monday evening, January 21, representatives from Howell, Eaton Rapids, Lansing. Olivet. Charictte and Grand Ledge discussed and proposed plans for the coming conference. Although it is expected that the session will be run as in previous years, nothing definite has been set- tled. Doctor Frank Slutz of Dayton, Ohio, will be the main speaker. At the meeting in Grand Ledge last year Doctor Slutz was beyond doubt the “spark plug” of the conference. Franklyn Wletzke, Ruth Martin and Alice Joe Oldt have gone to Florida for the winter. Several boys belonging to the Fu- ture Farmers of America, have gained considerably by their products or projects. William Bobier. eleventh grade stu- dent. in his report on “How I Sold My Five Hogs” says he sold the five hogs for $85. When he started this project two years ago. each hog weighed twenty pounds, and when he sold them they weighed 230 pounds apiece. Richard Kelley has sold some hogs and after having paid his father for the feed, had enough money left with which to buy himself a new suit of clothes. Clare Perry has sold a calf. Leo Bursley and Martin Lipsey are at the present preparing their beans for Farmer’s Week. Max Skinner and Edwin Grier are starting sheep projects.

Read! Think! Remember! Who keeps the schoolrooms warm? Who cleans up the papers from the floors and tries to keep the school in as clean a condition as is possible, considering the lack of co-operation he receives from the student body in general? Yes! It is the janitor—but how many of you ever stopped to think that Bill and Mr. Murray are at this school every school morning at six o’clock and have accomplished a good day’s work before we arrive. And after school they clean up the rooms and halls that we have so neglectfully covered with paper,—etc. They are busy here until around six every night and how much do they get for this? Nothing, except their compensation from the school board. If ever a man has been neglected and has received less in return for his labors, he must be Just another janitor. Bill and Mr. Murray have done their work as best they could and their jobs have been nobly executed. Still, where does the compensation come in? In closing, please remember that a little thoughtfulness from each of the five hundred sixty students in school, in refraining from marring desks and other school property, picking up paper, and showing a little appreciation for the janitors and their work, will return you dividends a thousand fold. Think it over!—M. H. G. WHY KICK I If someone were to ask you this riddle: What has stripes of red and white and a blue field with white stars? , it wouldn’t take you long to ans- wer, “The American Flag. Naturally we recognize the flag and we stand when the national anthem is played and altogether we think we're a pretty patriotic bunch. But the only reason many of us are patriotic is because we can sit back and do a perfectly splendid Job of back seat driving, while some one else does the work. We can all name dozens who have the only solution to the depression up their sleeves” but usually their children's toes and elbows stick out and they have runny noses, and show various other degrees of prosperity. Every so often, even our school discovers it is harboring a genius who solemnly enlightens us that the nickle-a-week plan is slightly soggy behind the ears, but when you ask that same genius for a solution, he Just vanishes into thin air and that’s that. The next time you hear some one kicking about the government just ask him who he voted for. Nine times out of ten he’ll twist his fingers, hem and haw around and finally admit that he was awful busy that day. don't you know, and Just couldn’t find time. The really good scout may not think everything is Just okay but he’ll tell you the one in charge is doing his best and admit he couldn't do any better himself.—T. H. READ THIS DARING EXPOSE! t Kapoot (meaning It won’t work ) brings to the reading public a candid account of a month’s unconducted tour in present-day Russia and Carveth Wells' observations on existing conditions in the Soviet Union. No attempt is made to conceal the actual facts, however disgusting they may be to our educated senses. Mr. Wells says in his preface: Should the critics even deign to notice this book, I shall not be at all surprised if they haul me over the coals for describing in plain English exactly what I saw in the land of the Soviets, but still I hope that among them there may be at least one. who, having left the beaten track, saw Russia In the raw as we did. He severely censures those authors and press correspondents such as Walter Duranty of the New York Times, for not daring to picture true condi- tions or to publish all the horrible facts. As in previous travels, the author had a definite object in view, in this case his aim being the apprehension of a portion of the original Noah's Ark said to be somewhere in southern Armenia, near Mount Ararat. Such an aim may seem utterly fantastic, but then, you never can tell. Read and learn. To exemplify the decadence into which Soviet Russia has fallen, the author points out that, whenever a thing becomes Kapoot,” no attempt is made to repair it, even though it be so simple a thing as a doorbell. If a Russian should take a ride in his new car and should run out of gas, he would never think of getting more, but would simply abandon the car, naively exclaiming, Kapoot. Some of the scenes which Mr. Wells delineates are sufficient to turn the stomachs of most Americans enjoying the comforts and enlightenments of an advanced civilization. If you want to learn about Russia in the raw , read this frank narrative. After you’ve finished, you'll find yourself saying, No, ‘kapoot’! School Closed When assigned the Longfellow school news, I, unaware of the fact that anything was wrong, got per- mission from Principal Harlan McCall to get my news. Neither of us men- tloned which school my beat was on. Permission was given me to go dur- ing a vacant hour. 1 donned my hat and coat and left j for the expected and much needed news story. After walking the four blocks I ascended the steps to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. My light knocks soon became hard kicks and still the door remained closed and no sign of life appeared within. Very much disgusted with so little recognition I went to a nearby house and inquired if the school had been dismissed. To my astonishment I learned that the school had been closed for a year. Much disheartened I retraced by steps back to school and reported to Mr. McCall. THE NIGHT WATCHMAN She often waited up for us when We came home at night.

BLACK Page 3 Orioles to Play Mighty Trojans Charlotte high's basketball team will journey to East Lanslrg Friday night to engage the fast moving Tro- jans in a Central Six conference game. If the local team begin3 clicking, they may offer the Trojans some com- petition, but this game seems des- tined to be won by the East Lansing team. Coach Cuddy” Shaver has a veteran team that has won six straight games from St. Mary’s, Howell, Grand Ledge, Mason, and Eaton Rapids. Charlotte, also, has a very good record with victories over Hastings, Mason, and Grand Ledge against one defeat at the hands of Eaton Rapids. Last year. East Lansing defeated the Orioles by the score of 19-i£ in the first game here, and 30-14 at East Lansing. Coae i Kenneth Barnhill will prob- ably 3.art his regular line up con- sisting of: Smith and Collins, for- wards, Van Auken, center: and Dewey and Barnhill, guards. Coach Shaver will undoubtedly start the following lineup: Cutler and Bremer, forwards: Roland Smith, cen- ter; and Blanding and Penner, guards. The local team will have to keep their eyes on Murphy Cutler, slim forward, and Eddie Penner. all-conference guard. Cutler has been leading his team in scoring, while Penner is a great defensive star. The Charlotte reserves will play the Trojan seconds in a preliminary game. Frye Addresses HI-Y Members Reverend Glenn Frye delivered a speech to the members of the Hi-Y club, January 10, in the Domestic Science room. His speech consisted of four main points: first, a bigger variety of voca- tions will be open to young men in the next ten years; second, the man who refuses to fight in the next war, be- cause of his disbelief in that type of destruction, will be a much bigger hero than the one who thoughtlessly marches off to battle; third, all of us have a brain, but we use only one one-thousandth of it; fourth, there will always be a place for the man who is willing to work inductriously and honestly. Several of the Hi-Y members plan to attend the pre-conference session at the Lansing Y. M. C. A. Monday af- ternoon. A Sunday school race is being staged by the members of the club. They have been evenly divided into two sections, each side receiving five points for each new member they bring into the church, two points for attending Sunday school. r— —------------------—.

On January 11, the Trojans trimmed Mason high to the tune of 39 to 16, on the latter’s floor, while Charlotte was suffering its first setback of the year at Eaton Rapids, 27 to 19. On the following Tuesday, St. Mary’s of Lansing was once again defeated by East I ansing in a non-conference engagement, 37 to 28. Last Friday Charlotte defeated Grand Ledge. 27 to 15, in the local gymnasium, while East Lansing was beating Eaton Rapids on the Cardinal's floor. Howell won her first game of the year from Mason. Friday night, Charlotte will invade East Lansing, Eaton Rapids will play at Howell, and Grand Ledge will travel to Mason. On February 1, Howell will play the Orange and Black here, while Mason plays at Eaton Rapids. On the same night Grand Ledge will play a non- conference game with Hastings. After Charlotte’s encounter with East Lansing, the Trojans will lose Ernie Bremer, regular forward, and Rob Smith, veteran center, by graduation. This change should hinder East Lansing considerably in her championship fight. SENIORS HEAD i IN INTERCLASS Interclass basket ball began Friday, January 11, when the sophomores de- feated the freshmen 27-7, and the seniors downed the juniors 11-3. Last Friday night the juniors de- feated the freshmen by a score of 25-4. Braden was high point man I for the juniors, while Fletcher stood out for the freshmen. The seniors I defeated the sophomores 5-4. Bryan 1 stood out for the seniors, while Bond and Beebe were outstanding for the sophomores. The standings to date are as follows: Team Per cent Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Johnston’s HOT FUDGE SUNDAE at BEHRENS ROWE DRUG STOKE Orioles Down Ledgers, 27-15 Charlotte, still smarting from the defeat handed her at the hands of Eaton Rapids the previous week, I came back last Friday and downed Grand Ledge by the score of 27-15. The game was played on the home floor. In the first few minutes of play, Charlotte presented a rather ragged style of play, despite all this she took the lead and held the Ledgers scoreless throughout the first period. From then on until the half, the Orioles completely dominated the play. The score, midway in the second period, stood at 12-0, Charlotte still leading. At the half the score was 16-5 in favor of the locals. Grand Ledge came back in the second half and held the Orange and Black to what were nearly even terms. In this half Charlotte scored eleven points while Grand Ledge was scoring ten. Hammond and DeMoss led the visitors' scoring with four points. Baird made three and Kingsley tallied the remaining two. Smith led the locals' scoring with ten points. Collins made eight. Barn- hill counted four, Schroeder and Van- Auken each made two. and Dewey came through with the remaining point The defensive work of Dewey stood out for Charlotte, while the work of Hammond kept Grand Ledge s day from being to dismal. In the preliminary game, the Char- lotte mites trimmed the Grand Ledge seconds by a score of 48-11. In this game Clinton Willis scored eighteen points. The line up: Charlotte (27) Ledgers (15) Smith F DeMoss Collins F Jugle Van Auken C Hammond Dewey G Baird Barnhill G Kingsley Substitutions (Charlotte)—Cheney, Schroeder, Harshman.

Eaton Rapids was “hot for the eve- ning displaying their ability to sink shots almost at random. Bill Za- v Its. tow-headed sophomore playing forward for the Islanders, copped In- dividual high honors for the eve- ning garnering ten points. Lee Barn- hill. local guard, paced the Orioles with nine points. The locals started strong display- ing good form and led the Islanders by four baskets after the first three minutes of play. The Cardinal scor- ing machine got under way at this point, however, and the quarter ended 8-7. In the second quarter, the Islanders went on a rampage and as the half ended the score stood 9-17 for the Redbirds. Taken as a whole the scoring of the last half was even, each quintet getting ten points, and the game ended 27-19 In favor of Ea- ton Rapids. In a preliminary contest the local mites were beaten in a close defensive game by a score of 6-3. Not a field goal was made in this freak game, all points being by foul shots. Ferguson of Eaton Rapids received four for high honors and Ken Jones. Oriole center, scoring all three of his team’s total. C. H. S. E. R. H. S.

Glenn Frye, pastor of the First Methodist church in Lansing. Rev. Frye has been coming regularly, twice each year for the past five or six years, to the school. “He Took It Upon Rimself was the topic of his talk to the student body during the second hour. Everything that you and I have that we value. he asserted, has come to us as a pure gift. Therefore we should think of ourselves as ‘our brother’s keeper’.” It is our business to make a good home and to have children, no mat- ter how costly the process. Greater than anything today is having a happy home, but falling in love isn’t sufficient reason to get married. So often it is only a physical attraction that will not last. Unless young people are given some courses in home-making in school we are ‘sunk’. As examples of people who have made other individual's welfare their business, he referred to the lives of Abraham Lincoln. Esther. Helen Kel- ler. and her nurse. Miss Sullivan. Rev. Frye spoke during the sixth hour to Mrs. Marena Kiplinger's Bible Study class. Those desiring personal conferences with him indicated their desires by arranging with Margaret Smith, assembly chairman for the year. Bond Presents Speech On Engineering Subject Paul Bond was the speaker Friday, January 11, for the fifth in the series of vocational guidance talks being pre- sented to the senior class. The field of business Mr. Bond represented was engineering. This highly machinlzed world has been brought about through our moth- ers and fathers, says Mr. Bond, and the boys and girls of our age will tear down, if needed, and build np new methods for the next change. The future for electrical engineering is very good, and there will be a vast improvement. The speaker described electricity as “the silent power behind all industry of today and tomorrow. “There will be a larger field for all types of engineering, but it will be highly specialized.” states Mr. Bond. This field is not such a desirable one for girls because they usually do not like mathmatics as well as boys, al- though girls could be just as efficient. ] Mr. Bond believes though that in the future there will be more use for girls In the engineering field. COMPLIMENTS OF THE KROGER CO. Mr� . Edyth Van Auken Sues for Dower Rights Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! the circuit court, for the Commercial Law class of Charlotte high school, will now come to order,” cried Kenneth J. Brown, acting Judge and bailiff, as the case between Edyth Ballard VanAuken and her four children, Cleone, Char- lene. Thomas and Arlo, was opened. Charles Hamilton, attorney for Mrs. VanAuken, so called , pointed out that his client wished to break the will, so that she might collect her legal one-third right, by dower, of the estate. Mark VanAuken, the deceased, bequeathed only $500 to his so called wife Edyth Ballard VanAuken while he left his four children each $50,000 in real estate. Craig Davids, counsellor for the children, with his assistant. Dean Bouska. pointed out that VanAuken's supposed wife had no wedding ring, or no wedding certificate, and so therefore contended that she could not prove that she was even married to the deceased. The defense proved by witnesses, that the plaintiff, not only beat-up’’ VanAuken. but also was unfaithful to him. Lyle Masters testified that he had seen the complainant carrying out spooning” exercises with ”Bill” Tullis. A few minutes after the trial had adjourned. Hamilton, counsellor for the unmarried mother, tried to bribe Clinton Willis, juryman, with a candy bar. Fad After Fad Well, a new fad has moved into our school life and like most fads, it's spreading like wildfire. The latest thing is small photos which are about one Inch by three-quarters. The pic- tures for a small fee are taken at a new establishment in our fair city | called the Photomill. They are then exchanged among friends as our dig-1 nifled seniors do with their large] photos. The common method of ar-1 rangement among the boys seems to be the mounting of them in their bill folds by couples. Oh well, after all it’s only a fad!

The keynote in her message was as follows: That man is successful who has learned to live triumphantly within his limitation.” Miss Jacquelyn Bastel of Jackson gave a short talk on “Building a Girl Reserve Program” Saturday morning at the 9:30 service. Group meetings followed the subjects of personal ap- pearance, every day religion, crafts, and creative dramatics.

School Obtains Emergency Kit Charlotte high school now has for the benefit of its five hundred stu- dents, a first aid kit. The cabinet was installed for the purpose of taking care of minor in- juries which might occur to students. It is equipped to take care of all minor Injuries, common among them is the cut. Cuts, especially deep ones are dangerous if let go without proper treatment. This injury is common, happening in laboratories, wood-shop, and in the gym. The student council wants everyone to feel free to resort to the cabinet when the occasion presents Itself. The only request that is made is that it he left in decent order for the next applicant. The council hopes that the stu- dents will realize it has a definite Place among the school necessities. “Louie Carter is back in the local Kroger store.

Neville Gives Talk on National Caves Speaker and Family Xow Hold Record For Longest l nderground Trip In the fourth lyceum number of the year which was presented Jan. 28, Russell T. Neville gave a talk on caves, illustrated with slides. He discussed formation of caves caused by water eating away lime- stone. According to Mr. Neville, many beautiful stone formations are de- veloped. Those rising straight from the floor of the cave are known as stalagmites. Those growing down from the ceiling are stalactites, while peculiar shaped ones are named electiles. While there is animal life in caves, it is very undeveloped. The animals are very small, while some of the fish are entirely without eyes. Others have them only partly developed while still others have only marks with no structure at all. Among caves which Mr. Neville has visited. Mammoth cave in Kentucky I is one of the largest, being 250 miles long. Altogether there are 10,000 miles of caves in Kentucky. Old Salts is another large cave. In it, Mr. Neville and his family made a record trip of two days and two nights duration. Formerly the longest trip back had been twenty-five miles. In- dications were found of habitation of the caveB many years ago. Mr. Neville concluded his talk with picture illustrations of various cave formations, and underground life. i EIGHTH GRADE GIVES PROGRAM The eighth grade presented its first, assembly before the high school yes-! terday. A group trained by Mrs. Frances Wil- dern sang some numbers. Mary Nancy Rowley. Janet Redick, and Charlotte Alsover did a dance number, and as the last thing on the program, a play was given, entitled “Miss Magician’s Mistake.” The characters in the play were Eldred Toutant, David Elies.

The club held a meeting Tuesday, January 29, at which time plans were to be discussed and committees se- lected to carry out the conference pro- gram. But due to the absence of the club leader. Benjamin Hennink, the boys decided to leave the selecting of the committees to a later date when Mr. Hennink’8 aid would be available. There is an unusually great amount of work to be done in the prepara- tion of the conference program. Churches must be made ready to serve meals, able leaders who have knowl- edge pertaining to a particular field .f work must be found, the entertain- ment sessions have to be planned, speakers obtained, and the greatest job of all—housing for the boys—must be planned. It is always a big job to find places for the conference delegates to stay, and this work is done mostly through church sponsorship. Earl T. May. the area secretary, and the local club feel that they have secured the finest youth speaker pos- sible in Dr. Frank Slutz. a brilliant educator from Dayton, Ohio. Dr. Slutz is by no means a stranger to this school, having appeared here on an assembly program last year. He will be here all week, prior to the conference session, and during this time he will speak in an assembly, Wednesday. March 6. and also at the annual teacher and school board ban- quet, Tuesday, March 5. The Hi-Y organizations to be repre- sented at the conference are: Mason. Grand Ledge. Eaton Rapids, Howell, Lansing, East Lansing. Hastings, and probably a few small localities. Kent Campbell and Marshall Grif- fith are employed in Detroit. ENGLISH TEACHER RESIGNS; ENTERS BUSINESS FIELD Leaves After Six and a Half Years As Instructor In High School Miss Dorothy Stewart, popular acuity member of Charlotte high school for six and a half years, has recently tendered her resignation. She leaves February 15 for Detroit where she will be associated with the Sears-Roebuck company in the per- sonnel department. This new line of work, which will be to train and hire girls for positions, promises new phases and a chance for advancement. Miss Stewart, during her stay in Charlotte, has taught English in all high school grades. Business English, and first year Latin. She has super- vised four junior plays, the one senior play that has been given, and, with Miss Winifred Wells, has been an advisor of the “Footlighteers’’ since its organization. At a noon luncheon today. Miss Stewart is to be the honored guest of the “Footlighteers’'. At that time she will be presented with a gift in appreciation of the work she has done with them. Charhian Sales Campaign Ends Nearly 300 Charhian subscriptions were sold during the year book cam- paign. The sale of subscriptions which was conducted by the Charhian staff, was to determine the number of Charhians that would have to be pub- lished next spring. Thirty-five per cent of the nickel- a-week is required to be paid in addition to the seventy-five cents which is paid for the book. A sales contest was held again, as in previous years, between the boys and the girls. The boys having won the contest by selling a greater number of subscriptions will be treated to a potluck banquet sometime in the near future by the girls. A journalism carnival will be held March 22 for raising extra funds to finance the year book. Student Dance Ends Semester As a climax to the first semester, a student mixer was held in the high school gymnasium last Friday evening. Raymond Dowker was in charge of the decorations which were carried out in a red and white color scheme. Lighting effects were made by vari- ous colored flood lights. Approximately one hundred fifty students danced to the music of Franklin Prindle and his seven piece orchestra. A short Intermission was held but no program was arranged. The alumni were well represented at this mixer. The regular admission price was charged and dancing lasted from eight until eleven-thirty.

How many trophies are there in the trophy case? Where is the Honor Plaque? Where are some pictures of the beauties of Rome and Greece? When you come into the school building do you take one wild look at the bulletin board and then rush to your class without ever seeing any of the pictures and olher things placed in the halls and in all rooms for your benefit? In every room of the high school there are pictures. These pictures have been placed there either because they are a scene from some notable pJace. because they are a picture of some famous man. because of the help they will be to the student in that course or simply because of their beauty. A picture of either George Washington or Abraham Lincoln may be found in almost every room. Of all the many pictures and portraits and sculptors of Lincoln there is one that is rated as the best. This sculptured work of art was done by Angustus Saint-Gaudens and it shows the sincerity, sympathy and sadness, in Lincoln’s face. A big picture of this famous sculpturing is to be found in the lower hall. Take a look at it sometime.—K. G. Remember ’way back when Kenneth Roberts said. “We don’t have to worry about the school being torn down—It’ll fall down first? The first semester is over and the YOUNG JUNIOR SHORTS WIRES ‘‘There was a blinding flash that lit up the whole street and 1 didn't stay to see what else would happen,’’ stat- ed Francis Flaherty in tel ling of a re- cent experience of his. It all happened about a week ago one night after school. Francis was playing around the yard with a piece of wire weighted at both ends and was having great fun in seeing how high it might go. On one of its num- erous flights into the air the wire de- scended upon high tension wires. Im- mediately there was a mighty flash and six wires carrying thousands of volts dangled to the ground. Our young Junior ran to the house in fast order and called the Consum- ers Power Company, who answered the call and in an hour and a half had the wires fixed up for service.

ONE MAN’S GAIN IS ANOTHER MAN’S LOSS It is no exaggeration to say that one and all will miss Dorothy Stewart when she leaves us for Detroit in a few weeks, after having been with us for six and a half years. Although experience is considered valuable, when Miss Setwart came to us in 1928 she had never taught before, yet no one will question her success. The written word often sounds shallow, but no one could doubt the sincerity of one typical bad boy who said he’d do it for Miss Stewart but for no other reason. It doesn’t take bulldog tenacity and persistance but instead real sweetness of character to wdn those who are actually proud of their notoriety. During her six and a half years. Miss Stewart has directed four Junior plays, one senior play and has been freshman advisor one year. It is generally agreed that being junior advisor, directing the traditional junior play, and carrying on work for the prom is one of the hardest jobs a teacher can have, yet Mi88 Stewart did it four years without complaint. That is one thing noticeable about her. she rarely complains but grins and bears it. Con- sequently she is one of the most liked teachers in the building. Ask any student and he will invariably answer: “I like Miss Stewart.” So here’s to you. Miss Stewart, and may the rest of your life be as successful.—T. H. This is yours signing off. truly (you guess) Scholarships Offered Enterprising Students Several scholarships which have been offered, notices of which are found on the bulletin board, offer an opportunity for some enterprising student to earn his way to college, or partly so.

They seem to be scared of the girls. No sooner does Max Gee get out of trouble than he is in again. What’s the latest Mr. McCall? Peggy Chandler no longer heads the ST. VALENTINE’S DAY February 14 is known as St. Valentine’s Day. Like many holidays it has a historical origin, being named in honor of St. Valentine, a bishop of old Rome. However, it has little connection with his life since It has long been dedicated to the “Goddess of Love in the Kingdom of Hearts, with Cupid especially active.” Many years ago it became a custom on this day for young men and maidens to chose Valentines, or special friends, to whom they sent messages of loving significance. Elaborate and quaint were the ornate and lacy missives often received. Through the years these were copied and improved upon. No doubt the modern greeting card used on so many occasions today could trace its origin to St. Valentine's Day. Who will not agree that to remember one’s friends on a particular day is a pretty custom that should not be allowed to die? In the lower grades and kindergarten work in the public schools St. Valentine's Day is especially popular. There it affords an excellent chance to stimulate child interests in creative design, for very often clever results are obtained. There also, it gives an opportunity to express the child love for parent, teacher and playmate. Let the custom of celebrating St. Valentines Day live on!—M. S. honor roll.

The merits of our present system of school government are on the whole rather settled, but every so often a huge discussion arises as to the ac- tions and results of our student ac- tivities.

The next quarter saw East Lansing go on a scoring spree, gaining 17 points to Charlotte's 2. and the half ended with East Lansing leading 23-10. The opening of the next quarter witnessed another spurt by Charlotte. Charlotte gained 8 points to their op- ponents 6. but they did not get enough to threaten the lead. The last quarter was a complete victory for East Lansing as the Tro- ians gathered 21 points, leaving the locals scoreless. Cutler, the Trojan left forward, counted 14 points to obtain scoring honors for East Lansing, while Don Smith led the locals with 10. This game witnessed the departure of two East Lansing players.

Volume 9 CHARLOTTE, MICH., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1W5 Issue 10 LOCAL BOYS PLAN FOR CONFERENCE C. H. S. DEBATE CLUB OF 1934-35 CONFERENCE ENDS TOMORROW NIGHT Hi-Y Club Holds Meeting; Adult Sponsors Aid With Plans Hi-Y meetings are being held near- ly every week at present, and will probably continue being held for some time until the forth-coming Hi-Y conference is over. On Monday night. February 18, they held a special meeting to further discuss conference plans. At this meeting the adult chairmen were present, and after the six-thirty sup- per served by the members with “Hubs Sparks playing the chef part, the entire conference program was explained to them by the area secre- tary. Earl T. May, President Edward Cheney, and the members of the vari- ous committees. Those adult mem- bers present were: Paul Bond, Rev. Rudolph Roth. Clyde A. Fulton. Frank Evans, A. C. Cheney, A. B. Collins, M. W. Fields. Myron E. Pray, John McNamara. Muri H. DeFoe. Howard Bryan. Kenneth Barntrll. Harlan Mc- Call. Judge R. R. McPeek, Rev. Geo. Mooers. E. T. May. Jay Dykhouse, and Fred A. Richey. The Hi-Y clubs of Lansing and East tensing were represented also with two members, one the vice presi- dent of the Lansing club and the other, the president of the East Lan- sing club, and president of the area conference. The local club is hoping that Char- lotte itself may have fifty delegates to the conference, and they are expect- ing approximately two-hundred and fifty from different towns and locali- ties near-by. In a few days the housing commit- tee will start, as their Job is the longest and will take the greatest amount of Ume and effort. It is quite a task to get one hundred and seven- ty-five rooms in a towTn the size of Charlotte. Although the committee is confident that they will be success- ful. they see a long siege of work ahead of them. The mere fact that Dr. Frank Sluts of Dayton. Ohio, is to be the main speaker at both banquet and confer- ence sessions will probably be a drawing card in itself. Mr. Bond, who is an adult chairman of the hous- ing committee, along with Frank Evans says. 'T have heard him several times, and he ranks with Dr. Barker in youth speaking. I shall certainly attend as many of his speeches as possible.” The dates set for the conference are March 8 and 9. Interclass Standings Interclass basket ball which is nearing to a close finds the seniors in the lead having won five games and losing none. The juniors are next with four wins and two losses. The sophomores in third position have the record of two wins and four losses. They have only w’on from the back seat freshmen who have lost six games and won none. In recent games the seniors beat the sophomores 8-6 and the juniors won from the freshmen 17-2. Speaker Makes Second Address Rev. Glen Frye of the First Meth- odist church, Lansing, made his sec- nd visit to the high school this year when he came February 14. '‘Building a Home” was the theme of his talk to the students in an as- embly the second hour. “The school and church exist for making a home”, said Rev. Frye. He continued to give the five important legacies of a home. A home must give a boy or girl a sound body and should teach them obedience to authority, to work and to think and develop character. It should give the child a right to know God. Rev. Frye held group conference with the sophomore, junior and senior boys and girlB following the assembly when he presented them with a luestionaire. BOARD RECEIVES NEW FURNITURE The furniture for the school was purchased by Wendell Moore and Vi- rene Elliott, representatives of the student council. Supt. Jay Dykhouse. and Harlan McCall, the first of Feb- ruary’. The presentation of it was made In the assembly on February 14. The furniture was purchased from ‘he Michigan Seating Company of Jackson, and the A. B. Chair and Charlotte Chair factories of Charlotte. In the assembly. February 14, Mayor Moore presented the furniture to the school board, the students, and the faculty. Ernest Davids, repre- senting the school board, acknowl- edged the presentation. Any organization which is using the stage for a play or such is en- titled to use the furniture. It will be kept In the little room at the left of the stage, where Its caretaker, Richard Redick, will attend to it. The furniture consists of a cream colored divan, chair and coffee table. The divan is upholstered vith a green checked material and the chair, tan hecked material. An occasional chair is covered with green. A ma- hogany table completes the purchases. Debate Club to Present Assembly in April ‘Resolved that the nations should agree to prevent international ship- ment of arms and munitions ', is the topic chosen by the debate club of Charlotte High school for its annual debate to be given in assembly. The tentative date for this debate is some- time during the first week of April.' Since the starting of the second I semester the meeting of the debate; club, which meets Tuesdays and | Thursdays, has been temporarily sus-1 pended so that members of the club may spend their time in preparation for the forthcoming debate. In the assembly appearance of the club a new form of procedure will be | followed. As usual there will be! I three members on a side, two of whom will deliver constructive speeches! while the remaining one will conduct; the rebuttal for his respective side. | When the assembly debate is finished and the club assumes its former course the members will bend their, efforts towards orations, the year’s work climaxing in an oratorical con- test. Student Council Plans Clean Up Campaign As one of its numerous projects for the year, the student council of Char- lotte high at a meeting held last Thursday voted to sponsor a ‘‘clean up” campaign for the week of March j 4th. The purpose of this campaign is to keep the floors clean from paper. Starting next Monday, posters made by members of the council will be on t display about the school. Plans were formulated for both the parent’s night and the honor1 banquet. The dates agreed upon for| the two events were: parent's night, Thursday. May 2. and honor banquet, j Friday. May 31. The committee In charge of the parent's night program consists of Russell Sparks. Lois Pryor, and Robert Cove. The com- mittee in charge of the honor banquet is composed of Ann Colizzi. Eva Jeanne Kipllnger, and Douglas Cam- eron. Charlotte Cagers Journey To Howell For Last “Central 6“ Game Tomorrow night Coach Barnhill's second place Orioles will journey to Howell for the curtain closer of the 1934-35 season. Charlotte’s record to date is very colorful with 9 wins and 3 losses. The ancient rivals, Eaton Rapids and Charlotte, won one game apiece from each other, Eaton Rapids beat- ing Charlotte to the tune of 27-19, and Charlotte defeating her arch enemy by a score of 33-20. Grand Ledge proved to be an easy murk for the local sharp-shooters and they fell 27-15 and 29-16. Mason was another victim of the Orioles and fell 21-19 and 30-24. The first place Trojans proved to be the Black mark on the Orioles records as they won two games 50-18 and 27-16. Howell and Charlotte seemed to be fairly well matched in their first game, and Charlotte squeezed out a victory. 22-20. Mark Van Auken and Lee Barnhill will play their last conference game for the Orange and Black tomorrow night. These two boys have been mainstays on the Charlotte team, and no doubt Charlotte’s second place position is due partly to their fine Playing. The Charlotte reserves have a rec- ord of 5 wins. 6 losses and 1 tie. Clinton Willis has a record of 96 points in the 12 games. The following fellows make up the first team squad: Harlo Dewey, Lee Barnhill. Donald Smith, George Col- ons. Bill Cheney, Clarence Harshman, and Richard Schroeder. The reserves are Clinton Willis, Raymond Putman. Kenneth Jones. Milton Briggs.

Smith ...........Harlan McCall Rest of Journalism Class WEARING OF THE GREEN March 17 is known as St. Patrick’s Day. A festival is held in many circles on that day and green is the color to signify undying gratitude to the memory of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Many good deeds and achievements are credited to Bishop Patrick who was a great statesman as well as priest. He is said to have founded three hundred and sixty-five churches and placed a schoolhouse by the side of each. He is also credited with having driven snakes, frogs, and vermin from Ireland. It is interesting to know that in his crusades he was always preceded by a vigorous drummer, a forerunner of the present Salvation Army custom. The shamrock that is so extensively used today in party and card decora- tions had a deep significance to him as an emblem of the Trinity, the plant bearing three leaves from one stem. How many maidens who don a green ribbon or tie on March 17, know that St. Patrick is said to have been the originator of the right of the fair sex to propose marriage during Leap Year?—M. S. IN APPRECIATION Reverend Glenn Frye has been with us time and again, yet he is always a welcome visitor. If all people of his age could have the same tolerant, youthful outlook, this would be a better world, without doubt. In spite of the fact that those of his profession are usually accredited with being stale, rather morbid individuals, entirely devoid of a sense of humor. Reverend Frye has developed this faculty to a high degree. Young people confide in him the most serious of situations. Few people are able to reach the hearts of the young people, yet Reverend Frye has developd this faculty to a high degree. Young people confide in him as readily as to each other. Instead of giving them the impression that the situations they meet are entirely new to their generation, he quotes instances from his own youth and early manhood. To think that some one else has gone through the same thing and come out on top, some how, makes it look a lot easier. To those who know him, the defiantly carried head, the humorous chuckle before he says something he knows to be good, and the quaint man- nerisms of speech are familiar. His name will always be greeted with a cheer by those who have heard him once.—T. H. CHARLOTTE MAN FINDS CHAMPION How many of you know that Charles Gehringer. the fellow who pla s second base for the American. League Champions, the Detroit Tigers,! might not be playing baseball today if it were not for a certain man by the name of Kenneth Searles? Yes. that’s a fact! If it hadn’t been for the late Ken” Searles. Mr. Geh- ringer might not be playing pro- fessional baseball, but instead be playing on the sandlots Michigan. A little investigation into the story developed that Ken” Searles was the discoverer of Gehringer and that through the efforts of Mr. Searles, Gehringer was given a major league contract and in a few’ years became the best second baseman the Ameri- can League has seen in a long while. It seems that Gehringer was playing ball w'ith an independent team at Mason and Mr. Searles was in the crowd. He noticed the playing of Charlie and reported it to Mr. Mor- rissey, who wras a scout for the De- troit Tigers in those days. He also asked him to go to a ame at Stock- bridge and see Gehringer in action. They went to the game and im- mediately afterwards the scout signed Gehringer up. This may sound rather far-fetched, but R is a true story and may be verified by quite a few of the local business men if you care to look into Ford Invades 1 1 Physics (Lab” If some of these days you hear a throbbing noise as though the school building was going to fall down, don’t rejoice, it’s only the Ford in the physics labratory. It was set up for use by the gen- era1 science, physics, and applied science classes. Last fall, you will recall, a great noise was heard on the east side of the school. It was then than the applied science class tore the car apart and re-assembled it in the labratory. Mr. Anderson states that the vehicle is now prepared to under- go the final test. “We picked this type of car because It is the easiest to understand , informed the physics Instructor. The motor, transmission rear end. ignition, cooling system, and steering gear are used in class study and experimentation. It. The late Mr. Searles was one of Charlotte’s most ardent sport fans and it was through his Influence and effort that Charlotte has the inde- pendent baseball and football teams that it now possesses. Mr. Searles was quite an athlete when he was attending Charlotte high and it is wfth deep admiration and profound appreciation for the man that has done so much for the people of Charlotte as well as Michigan that we now close. Some Things to Think About I wonder if President Roosevelt ever thought of the $4,880,000,000 he is asking for in this way. If this amount of money was turned into dollar bills you could cover, by laying each one fiat, side by side, approximately fifteen or more square miles. Also, by put- ting end to end in a straight line you could have a line of dollar b.Us that would extend around the world ap- proximately nineteen times. Or, if you uidn t want to do that you might easily have a row of dollar bills Irom the earth to the moon and enough left so that by stretching the rubber ones they would reach back to the earth again. (For proof see Sup’t Dykhouse’8 Civics class.) Last week’s gold decision which caused so many students too much worry seems to have effected the poor Frenchmen. If a Frenchman bought a liberty bond for 10,000 lrancs, he's just out of luck because now he can only got 6,000 francs out of it. Several older boys conferences and groups throughout Michigan have i recently evidenced their pleasure of Senator Nye's munition investigations! by sending him a letter of apprecia-l lion and approval of his efforts. We use approximately 1,000,000.000 barrels of oil per year. If a tank j were constructed to hold this oil, it would cover ten square acres and reach about 11,000 feet high (2 miles), or, you could build the tank one- fourth of a mile square and one-half a mile high. In the last three years we have used more oil than has been pumped out of wells east of the Mississippi in the last seventy-five years. If all the natural resources of the U. S. were divided equally among the entire population and the shares dumped into a person’s front yard, a sleamshovel would be necessary to dig the house out. Charles Garvey says that if all the saxophones were brought together in the Sahara desert it would be a good thing. Crisp Comments Patty Russell and Arlo Hammrnd got each other's opinions regarding ‘dutch dates” via the whole civics | class recently. Mr. Duguid informed Lydia May Smith that she had a very nice com- 1 plexion. Mr. Duguid. you flatterer! Bill Tullis came up the stairs dur- j ing the first hour the other da . whistling like a lark. He didn't have that sleepy look either. Who is the senior boy who Js going to plant a hundred acres to walnut trees when he is graduated, as a means of income when he is old and gray? Mr. Brown asked Peggy what Wayne's attraction was. Does he think she'd tell? Charlie Hamilton as so inspired; by Craig’s girl that now he’s got him-1 self one. Here’s hoping a law isn’t passed en- forcing stamps on notes. Some of our love stricken youths and maidens would go broke. Get a dreamy look in your eyes and ask Norma Paton, “May I have the next dance?” but keep your distance. Margaret Scott came back from Wisconsin with an inspiration. It goes something like this. “Ish pilly otn dotn wo dotn detn dotn wada”. P. S. It doesn't mean anvthlng. Jack Odell and George Balow have a monoply on this haunting business. 1. Never signal when about to turn; let the man behind you use his Imagination. Remember the twelve millionth Ford is now in the ditch. 2. it is well wnen coming out of an alley, to step on the gas, never mind traffic, come out boldly with rush. If otners oojecl give them the icy stare. 3. li the speed limit is 20 miles an hour, slow down to 35, courtesy makes safety. 4. When entering a quiet zone al- ways open your cut-out and louuly mow your uorn. If others resent, pay no attention to them because it’s your own horn. 6. When you see a safety zone, drive boldly through it, pedestrians should stay up on the sidewalk. Be independent. 6. Remember the Golden Rule; Always get someone else betore they get you. i. Never pay attention to stop signs or signals, especially at junc- tions or crowded throughfares. He who hesitates demeanth himself be- lore the traffic cop and maketh the undertaker listless. s. Never pass another car until you see one coming from the other oirection. Then you will just have time to crowd past and get a laugh at both drivers when they slow up for you. 9. After parking and you wish to back out, never look behind. Let the other guy think for you. Just back out and see how good he is at dodg- ing. 10. Never dim your lights, if the fellow can't see to pass you let him wait until you get by. what do von care if he goes Into the ditch with his wife and family. 11. Always sound your horn loud- ly and insistantly whenever there is a traffic tie-up and if the fellow ahead refuses to run into the car before him and keeps you waiting three minutes tell him what you think of him. You'd better learn all of these new traffic laws passed by the council, then you won’t need life insurance (much!) REFEREE—whose name changes every time he blows his whistle, whose popularity depends largely on the final score of the game, who is criticized acutely by side line critics, who is accompanied by boos at his every move, whose job is a hectic undertak- ing to say the least. TEACHER—who sits on a spindle, unknowingly, w’ho announces a test only to hear groans, who is not half so hard if you do some work, whose work Is unappreciated by his unruly students, who Is only a human being wherever he goes. STUDENT—who can’t get his Latin, whose mathematics are an excuse to «tay up late at night, who can’t study because of the noise, who thinks that school is a place to raise the dickens. EIGHTH GRADER—who first starts In high school with an inferior feeling, who gets lost in the big crowds that swarm through the halls every forty- five minutes, who finds himself In a senior class, much to his embarrass- ment, who finds the teachers harder than rocks, who has to stand on a desk to see the assembly. Detroit and Grand Rapids are the examination headquarters in this sec- tion of the country.

Because the Orioles were not click- j Ing. the Maroon five led 7-6 at the end of the first quarter. However, a field goal by Lee Barnhill and a gift toBs by Smith gave the Orioles a 9-7 lead. After each team caged a field goal, Yorks and Dietrlck scored five points to give Mason a 14-11 lead at half- time. During the third quarter, the Ori- oles chalked up nine points against two for Mason. During the final frame Charlotte again outclassed the Maroons by chalking up ten points against eight for the losers. Smith’s spectacular diving.

East I ansing's cage squad, unde- feated this year in conference com- petition, maintained her pace when she defeated Charlotte 29-16, on the local floor. From the second period on Char- lotte was a beaten team. The Trojans quickly took the lead in the first period, only to lose it to Charlotte at the halfway mark in the opening frame, the Orioles leading 6-3. How- ever East I-ansing staged a rally and when the first quarter ended. Char- lotte was behind 9-6. The first half closed with East Lansing leading 15-11. In the third period, the Trojans placed superlative basket ball, out- scoring Charlotte ten points to one. Score at the end of the three-quarter mark was 25-12, East Lansing still considerably ahead of the locals. East team’s quota of points in the fourth period was four points. As the game ended, Pritchard of East Lansing had a chance for a free throw, but missed. The final score was £9-16 in favor of East Lansing. Tansy, East Lansing’s slender for- ward. took scoring honors for the night. He sank five field goals for a total of ten points.

The program was presented by Mr. Baker and Mr. Meisner, of the Milwaukee School of Engineering, and the show was the same one given at the World’s Fair of 1934. The performance started with the decomposition of water by a current of electricity passing through it., After a bottle of the gases produced by the decomposition was collected it was lilted from the water and lighted, whereupon it exploded with great violence. One member of the audi- ence exclaimed. “This show certainly started off with a bang.” Next a temperature of 3700' was produced by an electric current pass- ing through a nichrome wire for about two minutes. The principle of the electromagnet was explained and a commercial mushroom type was demonstrated. Although it was only about three Inches in diameter and two inches high, it could lift six hundred pounds of metal continuously for one working day at the cost of about five cents. The principles of magnetism and their part in the generation of elec- tricity were explained and demon- strated. A fifteen horse power spark at 100,000 volts next demonstrated the phenomena of a condenser breathing and the beautiful sinctillating purple corona or halo effect. The principle of the Hertzian or original radio was shown and its ability to light a newo tube, not con- nected to it, by the radio waves gen- erated was shown and also the trans- mission of radio w aves through air. The last and most spectacular ex- periment of the evening was the large Tesla coil demonstration. This coil. I built by members of the faculty and students of the School of Engineering developed 500,000 volts t' throw a spark about forty-two inches and pass it through the best known insulator of electricity. The spark passed through plates of glass and rubber with ease and yet could pass through the human body, as shown by demon- stration without harmful effects.

Displaying a whirlwind attack for) the entire first half, the local Orange and Black cagers coasted to victory over Eaton Rapids by a score of 33- 20 in a game played on the home court, February 15. By trouncing their old rlvuls the Orioles gained re- venge for a defeat at the hands of the Islanders earlier in the season. Completely dominating the play of the first half the local forces, led by their agile little forward Don Smith, outscored their rivals 21-7. Smith plainly showed the ability to score almost at random and time and again scampered down the floor for sure dog” shots. However with the dawning of the third quarter, a determined band of Cardinals took the floor in a super- human attempt to pull the ball game out of the fire. Zavits and Bush com- bined their efforts to outscore the, home forces in the third quarter by a' score of 12-2 but with a rush the Orioles came back in the fourth quarter and ended the scoring at 33-20. Don Smith, local forward, whb seems destined for an all conference berth, cupped the individual high scor- ing honors with fourteen points. Bill” Zavits, visiting center, led his team, with seven points. Troop 45 of the Congregational church has registered four new scouts. They are Lynn Fowler, Gordon Cam- eron.

Secondary education had its inception with the establishment of the Boston Latin school on April 23. 1635. only fifteen years after the landing of the Pilgrims. There was but one instructor and a handful of pupils; the curriculum included only the Latin classics, nothing that was practical. Apparently the problem of education for their children occupied an impor- tant place in the minds of Boston parents even before their homes had been firmly established. Although the tercentenary celebration will be observed more fully in classrooms, other activities will include a national high school fair, radio programs, a memorial motion picture, an international art exhibit, special issues of school papers, government proclamations, commencement pro- grams. etc. In spite of the fact that there are 24.000 high schools in the United States today, with enrollments of 6,000,000 students and a quarter of a million teachers and administrators, the goal set three hundred years ago is still unattained. Nearly half of America’s youth of high school age is deprived of opportunity for secondary school training. The primary purpose of the celebration is to enlist support of a “school program adequate to absorb all young people who have neither employment nor opportunity for self-improve- ment.” President Franklin D. Roosevelt strikes the keynote of the celebration in this: ‘T hope that the young people of every high school in the United States will celebrate this three hundredth anniversary. I hope they will celebrate it in a manner which will bring vividly before parents and fellow townsmen the significance, the contribution and the goals of their school.” ENGLISH VS. AMERICAN PLAN A learned person once said that a student should not go through college, but the college should go through the student. Stephen Leacock, in his essay on “Oxford” gives one the idea that our American institutions of higher education are not all that they might be. It seems that Oxford's educational system consists not of lectures or of laboratory sessions, but of intelligent, leisurely conversations with professors who are sincerely interested in the welfare of the students. To we Americans with our “modern” educational systems this plan seems to border on absurdity, but one has to admit that an Immense amount of logic and food for thought is contained in the English plan. In view of the fact that Oxford is considered the greatest and most successful college in the w’orld. it might, be well if the heads of American educational institutions would ponder just a bit on the comparison of the English and American educational systems. Perhaps they would discover something very startling, they might even solve the problem of having the college go through the student”! At any rate read Leacock’s essay on “Oxford” —R. S.

On his trip into the Canadian wild- erness he was accompanied by Mrs. Hennink and Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Geddes. His long desire to see an undiluted wilderness was fulfilled. They left their auto and civilisation far behind and penetrated the wild unknown region, absolutely depend- ent upon a native guide whom they had hired. As they went down the narrow, thick trails they could occasionally hear a deer scamper. There the snow shoe rabbits were so numerous one did not need to use a gun. but had only to throw a rock to kill one. They caught glimpses of porcupines, and one day saw an immense moose, so large that if a man had sat upon the antlers he could not have touched the points with his outstretched arms. The lakes were free from weeds and abounded in fine, speckled trout. “Such a trip, near to nature’s heart, leaves an indelible impression on one. on his thinking, his character, and his outlook on life.” stated Mr. Hen- nink.

Ohio, � ere as the mam speaker of the Older Boys’ Conference, addressed the facul ty and students in an assembly last Thursday. Dr. Slutz prefaced his talk by tell- ing of his intimate friendship with Orville Wright, co-inventor of the air- plane. and of the many famous per- sons he has met at his home. To the fiction that what one studies determines whether or not he will be cultured. Mr. Slutz stated, “Cul- ture comes from how deeply one does what he does. It Is not what one does, but how he does it.” “People often think they will never be noticed if they do too well. Yet the one who is offered a position Is the person who does well what he does. says Dr. Slutz. Dr. Slutz went on to say that some hold that everyone lives his own life, that this universe has no purpose be- hind it, but is just a scientific acci-' dent, and that men and women are high grade animals, nothing more, then proved that all these statements are fictitious. ------------------N SCOUT NEWS ij_________________ Boys of troop 44. under the direction of John Duguid and Terence Flower, are practicing for the signaling con- test which will be held in the spring.

As a result the following stu- dents will comprise the two teams: Wendell Moore, Lucille Marvin and I Donald Richey, who will take the affirmative side, and Craig Davids. Gordon Nielsen and Ann Colizzi de- bating on the negative side.

Perhaps you readers remember that out of the turmoil of the world war came two distinct promises. One, This is a war to end all wars!”, the other, “We are fighting this war to make the world safe for democracy! The youth of our nation, and other nations accepted these promises in all sincerity—they believed in them—they believed in the makers, but now there appears to be a gathering shadow of falseness crossing the sacred horizon of these statements. Although it seems absurd to think that the supposedly sane and humane rulers of the great world powers would be so influenced by the vanity of greed or the lust for power that they would plunge the countries into another destructive conflict, it is far from being an impossibility. If we can rightly Judge by the many articles that have been written about the next war. it would seem logical that the next dreaded conflict would not only be fought to end wars, but also to end civilization. History shows us that wars will not be outlawed by mere promises or by quickly forgotten pledges, they will be prevented only through the fostering of a sincere and lasting feeling of brotherhood between countries. Students! If war is ever to become obsolete it is up to us as future citizens to start working toward that goal!—R. S. THE TOURNAMENTS The now popular sport, boxing and wrestling, has entered the Charlotte High School. This sport has been tried out for the past two years and has proved very successful. Judging from the interest that has been shown by the boys from all the classes, the tournament will be another great success. For the past week or so, the gym has been used for a ring, and many a novice has met for the first time, the gloves face to face. Wrestling has also become quite popular, but not so much as boxing. Of course sportsmanship is necessary in the tournaments. It is not necessary to tell that, as the fair play spirit has been prevalent among the spectators as well as the participants in the former years. It should be taken into consideration this fact, that it is through the efTorts of Coach Kenneth Barnhill that these two sports have been started here.—D. K. MARTIN JOHNSON’S “BABOONA” (FOX) In their latest release. ‘‘Baboona”. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson offer a panoramic view of unusual pictorial merit. Though somewhat tedious to- ward the conclusion, it remains, nevertheless, an outstanding film from a photographic standpoint. Baboona is a brilliant and authentic record of their amphibian expe- dition into the heart of Africa. Mr. Johnson occupies one plane, his wife, Asa (he pronounces it Osee). another, and a third transports their supplies. One of the highlights of the picture is a scene of elephants on a stampede. One finds it difficult to believe that so many elephants are extant: in one locality. When the planes fly low over the herd, it is not so fright- ened as when they are far above. Mr. Johnson attributes this phenomenon to the dispersement of sound—that is. noise becomes louder as altitude increases. They land in rhino-infested territory and have some thrilling adventures with the savage, thick-skinned and -witted monsters. Osa contributes her portion to the excitement by a dangerous and fool-hardy yet lucky encounter with one of the wounded beasts. Needless to say, she demonstrates her superb marksmanship by killing him. The picture derives its name from the closing scenes. Their last ad- venture takes the Johnsons into the land of the baboona. where some extra- ordinary pictures of the monkey-like creatures in their native haunts are obtained. A magnificent view from the air of Mount Kilimanjaro is also displayed. All in all. it’s a pretty fair picture of nature in the raw”—if you like nature pictures. Semmetry is a place where they bury dead people. A girl scout is a boy who is always out scouting for girls. A synonym is a word you use when you can’t spell the other one. Into the Future With the Seniors Office statistics show the plans of the senior class to be varied. While some of the group are undecided, a large majority have definite plans for their futures. Those planning to attend college are Harwood Smith, Margaret Smith. “Peggy” Chandler, Kathryn String- ham, Clinton Willis. Agnes Gregarek, Byron Field, Robert Stine, Margaret Wheaton, Lawrence Marvin, and Thomas Walsh. Nurses training is proving a popu- lar future, those entering this field arc Nell Rapier, Patricia Russell. Leora Phillips. Helen Shepherd, Kath- leen Granger. Virginia Paine, and Audree Tracy. The business schools call Virene El- liot. Frances Kendell, Charlene Cot- trell. Icy phene Cochrane, Helen Wea- ver and Helen Youngs. Many of the seniors plan to work next year. Among those are Dorothy Lowe. Roland Bracy, Robert Bryan. Arlo Hammond. Robert Fullerton. Jean Quantrell, Arland Hammond. Charles Burnett. Genevieve Bumford, Lawrence Kane. Richard Mason. Louise Horn. Dean Bouska, Daisy Bumford. Dale Hennings. Lyle Mas- ters. Russell Sparks, Don Kimmell. John Raymond, and Ethel Butler. To be exact there are twenty-three students who are undecided as what to do. They are Virginia Raidle. Carl Youngs. Albert Austin, Teressa Hale. Thelma Burns. Florence Locke. Ken- neth Bowser, Edward Cheney, Jeanne Sherman. Douglas Cameron, Charles Fielder, Dwdght Durner. Cleone Haigh. Kathryn Burkett. Maxwell Gee. Mada- line Mitchell. Margaret Scott, Esther Zanger, Mark Van Auken. Elbert Keehne. Arthur King, Ruthhollis Ryan, and Helen Shaull. The number of students planning on post graduate work corresponds with other years. Edythe Ballard. Raymond Dowker. Wendell Moore, Lois Ives. Wayne Cole. Ardyth Ben- son. Craig Davids, and Charles Ham- ilton. The girls planning to attend beauty culture school are Jessie Lark, and Ruth Caplinger. Burr Murray plans to be an under- taker. Margaret Sharpe desires to I study music. William Fischer will be found on the farm. Robert Williams ' is going west to California, while Rob- ert Kiplinger plans to attend an Eng- | lish school. Latin Classes Publish Paper To further acquaint the Latin stu- dents with the language, the customs, history, and leaders of the Romans, the fourth and seventh hour classes are preparing a Roman newspaper. This paper will follow the modern journalistic styles as closely as possi- ble. It will be written in the present tense to make ancient wars, heroes, games and politics seem more real- istic and create a greater interest in the subject. A complete news and business staff has been appointed in each class. The publications will be on display par- ent’s night. TIPS Joy is supreme but don’t practice it aloud in classes. Be a sport but be a good one. The grouchy person is like dyna- mite, safer when handled with care. SPRING FEVER MAKES DEBUT Spring fever, that most mortal mal- ady, has had its annual arrival this year. The symptoms of spring fever are: A feeling of suffocation in all : classes. Mind running to spring breezes, pussy willows, beauties of nature. That urge to skip school. Last, but not least, a shortage of blue slips and vague groans and growls in Mr. McCall’s office. This is an annual epidemic which is caused by. of course, a long line of Latin which is beyond even the com- prehension of Miss Gillam. There has been as yet, no remedy or anti-toxin for this most dangerous of fatal dis- eases. Again the high school teachers are bothered by students sleeping in class with closed eyes or drooping heads pointed toward God’s great out-of- doors. Again the roar and clatter of roller skates and hoops, the clink of mar- bles, and the slap of baseballs in mits —.long rested in moth balls, have come as better heralds of spring than the traditional robin or woodchuck. The mud and soft ground of spring and frost leaving the ground, heralds the coming of kite flying days and later to the days at the ”01’ swim- min’ hole of summer. The only possible alternative to this disease is the traditional spring vacation during which everyone, from the humblest eighth-grader to the noblest and most mighty senior gets out-of-doors and receives a hard cold which will keep him in subjugation until the next excuse for skipping school or summer vacation comes along. The air is full of cries to the Gods of tennis, baseball, track, swimming, boating, fishing, and vacation, to hurry on this futile season of the year to that season when no one worries about school for ten weeks, and during which that great freedom of leisure arrives for his annual stay.

ORANGE BLACK Page S Coach Barnhill Starts New Idea Because of the lack of funds to carry on a spring interscholastic schedule, Coach Barnhill has substi- tuted a program of spring sports for all high school students. This is something different as Char- lotte has usually had a track team, golf team, and last year had a base- ball nine, but they did not pay. and as a result the interclass tournament will replace this program. The tourn- ament will consist of golf, tennis, diamond ball, boxing and wrestling, horse shoes, basketball, and track. The four grades, freshmen, sopho- mores. juniors, and seniors will com- pete for a year's championship. Coach Barnhill states that he is having a large plaque made w’hich will have the year of the winner en- graved as 1935 intramural champion. The schedule will start after spring vacation with the exception of the boxing and wrestling tournament which will be held in the near future. Up to now. the situation looks as though the seniors might win the championship as they seem to have the golf situation all to themselves with Bouska. Bowser and Moore all members of last year's golf team available to compete for the upper classmen. In tennis, the seniors again seem to predominate with Durner, Fields. Cameron. Stine. Van Auken. Moore. Masters, and Gee all capable racket wielders. The track meet will be plenty close with the Juniors having a alight edge in the ballots. The basketball games thus far show the seniors and juniors knotted for the lead, but if a play-off is necessary, the seniors are favored to win. The diamond ball schedule, as far as can be forseen at present, is a wide open battle between the four classes. The Juniors seem to have a distinctive edge in the horse shoe meet. The tournament will end just be- fore school closes with the winning class being presented with the plaque and their class year inscribed on it. YOU TELL ME, I’M ASKIV THEM Where does Frances Bryan learn those cute facial expressions she uses in Bible class? Whose heart does Pat Russell wear all the time? Oh. dear. Why can't Donald Kimmel resist the name Donny Boy”? Where did “Caveman Moore get the nickname? Jin—‘T saw you pucker your lips and you wanted to kiss me, didn't you?” Jack— No. honestly, I was Just trying to give an impersonation of a song by Maurice Chevalier.

Dr. Pierdam, of the University of Michigan, made the statement that seventy per cent of the high school students have | problems. A famous psychologist says that not only do we have problems but we are problems. Children are problems to their parents but the parents are larger problems to the children. Every teacher will agree that he or she has problem students, but they often fail to consider that they may be a greater problem to many of their students. So the problem for solution is, “how can problem individuals having problems live in a world with problem people?” Perhaps the best thing would be to console one's self with the fact that | he is only one among millions who has stones in his path. Mutual understanding of the needs and desires of one another will help' to make life run smoother. If the solution of life's difficulties proves complicated—Skip it.—N. R.1 EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Iu the modern high school of today, extra-curricular activities play a somewhat active part. Of course, at various interludes during the year the subject causes its share of discussion, gaining both favorable and unfavor- able comment. Athletic activities seem to create the most interest in our school. Foot- ball. basketball, and baseball offer fine advantages to the student in the way of physical development. This seems especially true this spring since the widening of the intermural sports program allows participation on the part of a greater number of students. Various clubs form the other part of our extra-curricular activities. They offer chances, mainly, of hobby work, speech, drama, Christian endeavor, art, music and travel. Often the question arises, Are these activities profitable?” To answer that we might first look into their developing abilities. One can hardly say that having entered a field of his choice and liking, that he did not gain some good with such an association. In fact, these activities might be termed as “ice breakers , since they break the ice of various prominent national activities. In this sense they provide us with insights concerning our interests and abilities. Extra-curricular activites thus, are very favorable, and providing a student has the time and effort, he will no doubt profit through such as- sociations.—E. C. WAR THUNDERS AND EASTER PEACE (Written for Quill Scroll) Easter Sunday! You step out in your new spring suit and a cool soothing breeze sweeps by; suddenly your new clothes aren't so important as the fact that it is Easter Sunday, the sun is shining, and you're going to church. The church is fragrant with the beautiful, white lilies. It's funny you'd never noticed the deep resonant tone of the organ. The minister prays “Our Father who art in Heaven”—and the voices of the people follow the words, really saying them. The singing is beautiful. It gives you a queer, chokey feeling, making you want to cry out of sheer joy in the exaltation it gives you. You'd never noticed the singing before. How clear and happy it rings out this Easter morn. “Christ is risen! Rejoice! Rejoice. “Jesus loved peace. It was one of his greatest teachings. All men should live in harmony with one another. The minister delivers the best sermon in his life. Or was it because you were noticing it particularly? You wralk home with the echo of the glorious music running through your heart. The Italian who runs the fruit store receives a cheery hello. What made you speak to him? You never did before. Then you enter your home. “Germany is re-arming herself to become a world power! War is inevitable! booms a voice from the radio. “Bombing Planes Maneuver Over Berlin! shriek the headlines. The music in your heart breaks off with a discordant crash. You echo the minister cynically, “Peace?” The sun is still shining; the breeze is still blowing, but then the sun has shone and the wind has blown on other Sundays, too.—P. C.

I nickel gone to the dogs.” Dear Mr. Editor; r'eriod eallv—for the past few years the question of installing personal lockers for student use has been brought up. considered and then for- gotten until another year. Time after time it has been my fortune, or misfortune, to hear students bemoan- ing the fact that their books had been stolen from their desks or (worse yet) that their hats and coats had been either stolen from the halls or ruined by the trampling of student's feet. It would seem—considering the fact that various schools in surround- ing towns have successfully elimi- nated the above mentioned evils by nstalllng this practical system—that it should prove successful here if given a fair chance.

The story takes George White (him- self) away from his Broadway— known as the “gay white way —In a vacation in the south. Enroute to Palm Beach he stops off at a small town in Georgia to send a telegram. He is naturally surprised to see a poster announcing in colorful fashion a one-night showing of “White's Scandals. He stays over to see the show’. He meets the producer, Ned Sparks, who is highly angered to learn that Broad- way, New York, also has “White's Scandals. ' White is Impressed by the perform- ance of the stars in the tank show, (Alice Faye and James Dunn) and accordingly determines to take over the production, cast, producer and all. for his next New York show. Faye and Dunn are in love down south, but when they blink in the Broadway lights, both of them are over-awed and success goes to their heads. In harmony with an old Broadway custom, there ensues a bedlam of confusion and mirth as George struggles to restore his stars to com- mon sense. He is sometimes assisted —and at other times frustrated—by the hilarious efforts of Lyda Robert], who is also a star in the Scandals cast; Cliff Edwards, who is known as “Dude'' and is a snappy dresser in the Broadway tradition; Arline Judge; Eleanor Powell; and a group of lovely girls. Eventually. White brings his tem- permental stars together in a surprise climax that gives them all the glory of fame and success. “George White’s 1935 Scandals is slated as containing 10 scintillating stars; 200 gorgeous girls; 30 beauty contest winners: 1000 colorful cos- tumes; lavish spectacles; G new, tune- ful song hits also 187 laughs that will keep you chuckling for days.

Coach Barnhill Starts New Spring Sport Plan Boxing and Wrestling Are Under Waj: Golf, Tennis Track Starts Soon The new intramural sports, which have recently been introduced into the Charlotte high school, have got under way. Some of the included sports are as follows: boxing and wrestling; diamond ball; golf; tennis, doubles and singles; horse-shoe pitch- ing. doubles and singles; and track. The four classes, freshmen, sopho- mores. juniors, and seniors will com- pete for the championship. The method of counting the points that each person receives is as fol- lows: boxing and wrestling, each per- son receives five points if he wins and to each loser goes three points. Diamond hall, the class that wins receives one hundred points, the run- ner up gets seventy-five, and to the class that wins third position goes fifty points and the class that holds1 down the cellar position gets only! twenty-five points. Coach Kenneth Barnhill states that, as yet, Uie: method of counting the number of I points that the students get for en-! tering the tennis, golf, and horse- shoe pitching tournaments has not! been decided. It will probably be the last ten students in the tourna-! meats who will receive the points. Twenty-five will be the total num- ber of points given, the winner taking fifteen, runner copping’' ten, and all the rest will undoubtedly obtain five points apiece. Coach Barnhill states. “It will be! much better for those who go out for the intramural sports, but I think it would be better to have the varsity, squads. It would give the school publicity and have the other students look up to the team In the years to come. In tennis the seniors have the most! competitors, having eight men. In| golf the following fellows have re- ported: Bowser, Reed, Rummell, Briggs. Monger. Bouska, and Moore. Compliments of R. S.

He outlined the different types of high school graduates, di- viding them up into four groups in- terested in: things, people, ideas, and symbols. After discussing the particular per- sons in each group, he told what professions and careers the people in that group could hope to be suc- cessful in. He says that in choosing a profession no one can tell the things a person is suited for, but only the ones he is not likely to be proficient in. and this would narrow down the huge field to two or three professions and then one can make his decision on which he would take for his life work.

When it is in a free and independent state, it neither rises above nor falls below the level of its kind. The law of water is one which might well be adopted by every individual. All of us have a plane on which we place our ideals and standards of life. In school, in play, and in life in general, we are constantly coming in contact with individuals whose ideals of life are not on the same plane as ours. The question that arises then is whether we shall think. 'T am better than they,” and so rise above them, lower our plane to meet theirs or raise their ideals to our own level. It is wonderful to have the ability to inspire others to higher ideals. On the other hand, if we have not the gift of tact to do this, we can protect our lives by seeking friends on our own level, a level on which the standards of life that we have built up will not be changed.—N. R. PARENTS’ NIGHT That’s one of those good old nights when we come and bring the family, spruce up a bit. and hope the teacher doesn’t ask us a question that we don’t know. Then too, they generally ask us a question that they hope we do know. One good thing about parents' night is that we have a chance to Bhow the folks that we do have something in us. Theoretically, they know that we are supposed to be getting educated, but having seen little evidence of it. they come up to see for themselves. So we haul out all of our finer accom- plishments and give them an eyeful. But seriously, what do we think of parents’ night? First of all, it gives our parents an insight on their investment, proving to them that the money they put into the school is not wasted. It shows them Just what we are doing in our development for future life. In fact, among the numerous bene- fits. it might even show some person, who attended school fifty years ago, the change developed in modern systems. Yes, even if we do get a few jitters with our elders around, parents’ night belongs to those who sacrifice to send us to school. We owe it to them.—E. C. HAPPINESS HILL e Grace Livingston Hill Lutz i Happiness Hill is a beautiful story of the Joys and sorrows of the Arleth family, interweaving the love story of Jane, their eldest daughter. In the story, the author sets out to show that love and kindness always have their rewards. She will have any reader thoroughly convinced of this fact long before the book is completed and in many ways you will thrill to the happy experience that this family of ordinary circumstances has. The story centers around Jane Arleth, a very beautiful young girl of about twenty-two, who. In the beginning of the story, is Just coming home from a two weeks summer vacation trip in the mountains, and upon her arrival home she finds her mother and father both seriously ill from the terrific summer heat. Jane works in the firm office for Dulaney. Dulaney Co. and with her small weekly salary and the help of her brother Tom’s earnings, they manage to send the family to a summer shack on the seashore. Lew I auderdale. a young millionaire’s son whom Jane meets in the mountains, tries to make out that he is in love with Jane and occasionally comes from New' York to see her. but Jane doesn’t consider that they are any more than friends. The Dulaney Company office clerk, John Sherwood, a fine, upright young gentleman, comes to know Jane and her family and through his many kind- nesses to the Arleth family the story moves rapidly on. In the end. young Sherwood is made one of the Dulaney firm and of course his position in the firm makes him a well-to-do man. All this time he has been in love with Jane and vice-versa and so the young couple are happily married. They go to live in a home w’hich they together have wit- nessed the building of. but unknown to Jane was the fact that the estate was to be their home, until John unveiled the truth when it was completed. This was known as their “Happiness Hill.” Did You Know That — Katherine Hepburn, disregarding convention entirely, rides around in a Ford station wagon; and when not t driving herself, she sits on the floor in the back.

Two painters on a swinging scaffold were diligently at work on the side of a four story school building. The rope at one end of the board broke. One of the men fell to the ground. A crowd gathered. The police ambu- lance was summoned. Sirens sound- ed. A fire truck came in view. Soon, I a board dangling near one of the top story windows, and a dented paint bucket lying on the ground were the ; only signs that something unusual ,had happened An inside view of an editorial room, a glance at what was coming over the teletype machine, and a peek at the linotype machines found that in less than twenty minutes a story had been written, and with its headline School Worker Hurt in Fall”, was set up on the front page of the Jack- son Citizen Patriot’s city edition which was ready to go to press. The speed and technique used In this one incident as an example of that enforced by newspapers today, evidently impressed some members of the local journalism class as was shown later in their rushed trip through the Gilbert candy factory. A shelf of unprotected sweets near the door might have had something to do with it. Each visitor upon leaving the fac- tory was offered “a piece of de- licious candy. However, strange as 11 may seem, the majority of the group could not regard this as their first. Mother— Get up. Charles. Remem- ber, its the early bird that gets the worm. C.

I found John Duguid seated at his desk in the chemistry lab. reading the jokes in an educational journal. When asked if he would grant me an inter- view. he replied. Sure. I was born in Montgomery. Michigan, on March 8, 1S93. I guess that's the proper way to begin. Now. what else do you want to know? He said that his parents had moved to a farm near North Adams. Michi- gan. when he was one month and three days old. It was in North Adams that he attended school. He never engaged in sports while in high school because he had to help on the farm. After his graduation from nigh school, he taught a year in a high school, and taught for two years in a rural school. He attended Hillsdale college from 1914-16, went back in 1923 and finish- ed his course in 1924. I went out for track.” he remarked. I guess I was best at pole vaulting. I think my best mark was around ten feet, six inches.” When he was a sophomore in col- lege he won the Simpson medal for being the best all around track man in Decathlon. Some of his marks are: The high Jump, five feet, four inches: the broad jump, nineteen feet, ten inches; the pole vault, ten feet, six inches. He has thrown the discus seventy-five feet, and the javelin one hundred fifteen feet. He has run the mile in six minutes, and the hundred yard dash in eleven seconds fiat. Mr. Duguid left college in 1916. and when the United States entered the war. he joined the army. He served for thirteen months, seven of them overseas. Most of this time was served as gas instructor. My ambition, during part of high school and my first year of college, was to be a doctor.” stated Mr. Du- guid. “However. I had also harbored ideas of becoming a school teacher, and that Is what I turned out to be.” He came to Charlotte in the fall of 1927. This year will be his eighth in Charlotte, and his seventeenth year of teaching. Incidentally his absence from the job due to sickness has been less than one day. He rocked back in his chair and smiled. Since I’ve been in Charlotte I've taught physics for three years, and chemistry for five years. I have also taught algebra, geometry, and commerical arithmetic. I am quali- fied to teach chemistry, physics, and almost any kind of mathematics.

Besides that I coached the track team for one year. That was two years ago. in 1933. Since he has been teaching in Char- lotte, Mr. Duguid has been treasurer of the high school and manager of the book exchange. This year he is president of the teachers’ club. He has been a scoutmaster, and, at pres- ent. is assistant scoutmaster of troop 44. He is also deputy commissioner of scouting for the City of Charlotte. He has been high priest in the Char- lotte Masonic chapter, and is at pres- ent a Sunday school teacher in the Methodist church.

Few days are left in this, their last high school year. It is but fitting they should be spent as happily as possible, filled with mem- ories not soon to be forgotten. An annual senior event looked forward to is skip day—that magic day so long anticipated on which to boldly and openly absent themse«ves from school and hie away to distant parts for a day's fun. This year the student council has planned an especially fine honor ban- quet for May 31. The dinner at the Methodist church will be followed by a dance in the gym. The junior-senior prom, the big social event of the school year, will be of unusual interest on June 7. Then as the days pass, baccalaureate, class night, and commencement all will file in line. All too soon the year will close. High school days will be over for the seniors. New plans will lie beyond. There will be new heights to climb, new victories to be won. We wish them all as individuals much future happiness and success, adding this bit of advice: Worthy ends come not by waiting. Wouid’st thou? Up and win them then.” —M. S.

The interelas8 diamond ball games are really worthwhile. Why don't you In life it is usually the custom to look back upon a long project or hard struggle that has juat ueen nnished and so in this last issue of the Orange and Black we pause to look back at this year's work in new developments in our school. First of all. tae annual Junior play which has always been staged two nights was produced just once this year because as Miss Stewart, director of the play said, “A full house is more conducive to good acting than two, half filled ones. Certainly while this business coma is about us, this year's plan, calling for a one night production will be continued. How- ever. when this world does pull out of the present rut, the annual junior play will once again be staged before two packed houses. Our basketball record was very im- pressive this year as the Orioles fin- ished second to the Trojans of East Lansing. The team's record of ten victories and only four de- feats deserves great credit and we, the student body, take our hats off to Coach Barnhill and his team. New furniture for the stage bought by this year's student council starts the project of fixing up the stage which is badly in need of repair. For come out and watch the boys play doing this, the only thanks ths coun- some time. It's free! cil asks is that it be carried on in the And this Is my last personal re- future.

Will the iunlors please give thing should be said about the clean HIGH SCHOOL POLITICS Every year students look forward to the annual election of the offices for the Student Council. This year unusual enthusiasm and anticipation was shown for election week. Clean campaign devices were introduced by the various candidates. Colorful posters and black board drawings made up the week's decorations. In every nook and corner of the building there was an Indication of election week. Heretofore it has always been the practice of the candidates for mayor and secretary to use electric signs to publish their qualifications. This practice developed into an unnecessary expense and so the plan was abondoned. However the cleverness and originality of this year’s posters has proven that more than financial benefit is gained, for in the present set-up candidates and helpers have a way to exhibit their originality and artistic ability. The caucus this year showed an unusual amount of school spirit. Lively speeches, (yes. and even the cows” and newsboy helped) and the group co-operation for the various candidates put the two hour assembly over in a way that has not been done for the past several years. Students of Charlotte High, we congratulate you on your clean cam- paigning. good sportsmanship and clever signs. May you continue to hold spirited and successful elections.—V. R. the seniors a eood banquet and prom this year. We deserve it. Believe it or not. CIVICS CLASS STAGES TRIAL Windjamming to Fiji By Viola Irene Cooper One day in August. 1926. two young ladies flanked by guards of honor boarded the Bougainville, the stalwart three-masted barque, whose royal spindles still proudly pricked the sky despite her sixty-three years, that I was commisioned to take astrolling in the South Pacific Ocean. This elucidates Captain Leon Chateauvieux, of the good ship BouganvlUe. in his appropriate introduction to Miss Cooper's initial work, a tale of wanderings among the South Sea Isles. There is something truly naive about the book, yet its language is not simple. It abounds in deftly turned phrases, picturesque words, and hum- orous incidents, humorously narrated. Miss Cooper has a style all her own and its adaptation is exhilarating to the reader. The major portion of the book assumes the appearance of a Journal, lending a rather more realistic air than the usual running- narrative style of travel volumes. Most of the action occurs aboard ship, where Miss Cooper is known as Lady Down and Miss Schoen as Lady Up by Louis, the negro man-about- ship” because of the respective positions of the two girls’ bunks. Not unfortunately, the author devotes herself to exciting and pleasingly descriptive delineations to tropic sunrises and sunsets, thrilling stories of the sea told on occasions by Le Capitaine, violations of his orders, such as climbing the main mast w hen no one was watching, remaining on deck during a violent storm when she should have been in her cabin, etc. The conclusion marks the sole infirmity of the volume, the reader being left in the lurch, as it were, in New Caledonia, and absolutely in the dark as to the future plans of the two middies. Windjamming to Fiji” will appeal particularly to girls, but to boys who appreciate the quality of fine courage in the feminine sex, it should prove a supreme source of enlightenment and inspiration. We find the defendant not guilty, cried the foreman of a circuit jury, upon being asked by acting Judge and Ballff Jay Dykhouse. if they had reached a verdict In the hit and run driving case of the people of the State of Michigan versus Dale Hen- nings. The verdict soon ended the sobs of Eula Bush Hennings, wife of the de- fendant, heard so often throughout ;he court room during the course of the trial. Shouts of Hallelujah , up week campaign put on by the council. So worthy a plan is sure to be carried on in the future. As great and fine as all cf these developments were, perhaps the great- est one was the complete change in the spring sports plan calling for an extensive intramural program with all classes competing against each in diamond ball, golf, tennis, horse shoe pitching, basketball, boxing and wrestling. It was truly a great plan and has given every boy a chance to show his stuff . I ue credit should be given to Mar- garet Smith for her fine work in con- nection with the assemblies; Douglas Cameron who has done a great job with the book exchange and candy; Ed Cheney for chairman of the t nickel-a-week plan and Russell Sparks ‘r who really put the mixers over in a big way. All in all. we feel that old Charlotte In the Bell Tower Yea man , and other such language,.,. . ._________._ . ... . were often heard in the room as op- en lo reater heights and posing attorneys pleaded for their jB y' cause. Prosecuting Attorney Raymond ( Bing ) Dowker charged in hi� opening statement to the court that Dale Hennings, driving a Ford road- ster. hit and seriously injured Jean Quantrell. as the former approached the Lawrence and Cochrane avenue intersection on the rainy and misty evening of March 7, 1935. The prose- cutor further charged that the defend- ant fa'led to stop after the accident had occurred. Lawrence Kane. Cleone Haigh, Don Morgan. Kathleen Ding! Dong! the ringing of the bell summons us all back to the portals of ye ancient schoolhouse. whether we be teachers, seniors or wee eighth graders. As Bill rings the bell he wratches students and teachers come up the walk. He has seen many of us com- ing up that walk one year after an- other. He has seen faces and styles Granger, Clarence Cooper, and Jean change—but never manners. There Quantrell testified for the state, in an are always some who are cocky, some effort to back up these charges The quiet and others cheery. Students defense attorneys. Craig Davids and and teachers alike. Ed” Cheney pointed out that the state not only failed to prove that the car. which was supposed to have hit Quantrell. was driven bv Hen- nings, but also failed to prove that this car did hit the plaintiff. The defense also charged that Jean Quant- rell was under the influence of liquor, and that he was jaywalking against the red light just before the accident occurred. Following heart-breaking pleas by the opposing lawyers, the jury re- turned a verdict of not guilty. Here's Mr. McCall with a look that suggests that any one who askes for a yellow excuse will probably get it— in indigo. Hmmm. looks like the French class has it easy today, or is that smile on Miss Glllam's face deceptive, how about it Frenchles? Oh! Oh! Bill is looking disgusted, and I reckon I’ll get out before he mistakes my ne-k for the be'l rope, accidently on purpose and rings it. As ever, Inquisitive Ike ORANGE A BLACK I'atre a YELL LEADER TRIO i' TO BE GRADUATED L CHEER LEADERS i Scott, Stringham, and Gee To Graduate In June; Two To Return With only two members of the 1933- 34 squad returning last fall, the stu- dent council was compelled to select three additional cheer leaders for the coming year. Those returning were Captain Max Gee and Kathryn Stringham. The contest resulted in the selection of Howard Bond. Jean King, and Mar- garet Scott to complete the 1934-35 team along with the two returning. Stringham was elected captain of the squad for the year at an early coun- cil meeting. During the past year, including the football and basketball seasons, the cheer leaders have been verv active and have received considerable com- ment from visiting schools for their splendid cheering at the athletic con- tests. The squad will lose through gradu- ation this year. Gee, Stringham, and Scott. All three of the foregoing cheerleaders were partly responsi- ble for the performances of the cheer- leaders. This was Gee's fifth year j as a regular cheerleader, while String-! ham has been on the squad for two seasons. Highlanders To Engage Charlotte Nine May 21 After the Orioles' first defeat of the season by Howell, Charlotte will play the Highlanders again on May 21 and hope to avenge their defeat. The lo- cal batsmen were defeated on May 7, 6 to 1. In the return game here on, May 21. Coach Kenneth Barnhill will pin hopes on his two veteran pitchers. “Don” Smith and Harlo Dewey. Ful- kerson. the winning pitcher, pitched five innings, allowing only one hit, while the Highlanders collected six hits off the pitching of Smith. In the return game the battery for Charlotte will probably he Putman and Smith or Dewey; Harshman. first base; Willis, second base; Dewey, third base; Barnhill, short stop; Howe, center-field; Hammond, right field; and Mayhew, left field.

Smith Wins Second Place At Conference Light Journalism Students Attend Medill Press Conference Several Charlotte students attended the Medill Press conterence at Evans- ton, Illinois, May 3 and 4. The school's delegation won only one place when Harwood bmith received the award for second place in the feature writing contest. The feature story writers were taken through the Baba I temple in Wilmette, Illinois. They were snown ulnerent things of interest and then were given an hour to write the story.

Maxwell Gee, Wendell Moore, aud Dwight Burner, entered the sports contest, but none of these boys placed. The event that they saw was a tennis match in which two freshmen of Northwestern put on an exhibition for the contest writers. Only one of the Charlotte delegation finished his story in the one hour time limit. “Pat” Russell entered the editing and paper make up contest. She was given a number of headlines to write, a seventy-five to a hundred word lead for a story, and in addition made up the first page of a newspaper. At the conference several round table discussions, team events, indi- vidual contests, dinners, and a dance took up most of the time that was spent in Chicago. Those that attended the conference were: Max Gee, Wendell Moore, Dwight Burner, Pat'' Russell, Har- wood Smith.
