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.

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.

Hannah—a middle-aged maid of the better class, prim and solemn. William—the Archibald’s elderly butler, who knows how to keep his place in spite of the fact that he is a privileged person in their home. The plot of the play concerns the rather deplorable, yet farcical situ- actions which surround Bab and which she helps to concoct upon her un- expected return from boarding school because of an outbreak of the measles. 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.

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.

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.
