ORANGE A BLACK Page 3 ORANGE AND BLACK WINS FROM MASON The Charlotte high school football team gained Its Aral conference vic- tory of the season when it defeated Mason, Friday. 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.

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. Those who talk a lot usually say nothing. “Square built, hearty, and strong.” —Superintendent Dykhouse For if she will, she will, depend upon it; But if she won’t, she won’t, and there’s and end on it. —“Kay Stringham Her stature tall, I hate a dumpy woman.” —Maebelle Swartz And when a lady's in the case.

According to that Jimmie Durante would make a whole news stafT. Had tongue at will, and yet was never 1 loud.' Some love to go to the show, but others go to the ehow to love. 9 Ruth Martin fervently assured Mr. Van Vessem in civics class that she believed in gravity. Nine girls and one boy were admit- ted to the dramatic club—bless his little heart. Bill” Cheney and Margaret Cox were designated a pair of lunaticB. Methinks it Isn’t so far-fetched. 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.
