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 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. H. S. A dark illimitable ocean, without bound, without dimension. —Physics Small—hut O my! —“Gwen” Watkins “The most curious thing in the world is a woman who is not curious.” —“Peg Chandler SOI'YEN IRS There is a song, one of that kind which never grows old, that has been sung for a good many years. 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.

Is “Babe” Burns still trying to make water in chemistry class? Mr. Van Vessem certainly has a far- reaching personality. Everyone is go- ing Dutch. 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.
