Willis President’s Message How green” we felt during that first long week, at the beginning of our high school days. We encountered so many new faces and surroundings that we telt a wee bit frightened. Our fears soon vanished; it wasn’t long be fore we had adapted ourselves to high school life surprisingly well. We are now prepared for four more years ot work, study, and pleasure. Our class meetings have occurred every two weeks and we feel that the year has promoted interest, friendship, and a definite school spirit. We have done nothing spectacular, but we hope next year to enter into all activities and do our best. Next year w’e will have the honor of being the first freshman class in the new high school building. With this in view' we are looking forward to a very successful 1936-37.

The problem can easily be corrected by the advice of an older counsellor, one who understands the questions of a young woman, and can answer them ! intelligently and confidentially. Never before has Charlotte high school Introduced a Dean of Women, one who looks at the girls not as formulas in Chemistry or gems in Literature, but as they really are. The dean is here not to scold or dis- cipline any girl, but to advise. She is free certain hours during the day for conferences at which time the girls may bring their own interroga- tions. as well as those of their friends. The same privilege of confidence is had by the boys. To the girls the name of Miss Winifred Wells implies a confident and a friend as does the name of Mr. McCall to the boys. This friendship can come to be very mean- ingful and helpful. The girls of our high school are to be congratulated in having so great an opportunity. “Although a friend may remain faithful in misfortune, yet none but the very best and loftiest will remain faithful and true after our errors and sins. On Choosing Clubs Clubs: Places not too closely con-, nected with the school where we can meet with our friends and do the things we like to do as a diversion from our regular routine. OR—Clubs: A hangout after school hours just be- cause we haven't anything else to do and don’t want anything to do. Which do you choose? I prefer the former. Everyone has something he likes to do better than anything else. Perhaps he sees in himself a weakness he wants to strengthen, or is it a feeling for educational value, to make the best use of each opportunity. Of the several clubs available to students, all can in some way or another fulfill these requirements. But naturally we cannot join them all. Choose the activity that gives you the most en- joyment, relaxation, and satisfaction in your work. We are all of a differ- ent temperament. Our likes and dis- likes often conflict. However, our greatest success lies in bringing out our natural selves to their fullest ca- pacity. for as an elderly gentleman one stated. “We will never be the per- son we want to be unless we are that person today. Club work can bring out the best In all If each member has his heart set on it. Who likes to see an organiza- tion dragged along by half-hearted interest anyway! Nickel-a-Week There are many in the student body that are wondering where their nickel goes on Thursday morning. The nickel-a-week is divided into several parts. Forty per cent is turned over to the athletics; this makes it possible to attend home foot- ball and basketball games without ad- mission. It takes considerable money to publish the school paper and yea� book so thirty-five per cent of it goes for publications. During the year we have several lyceum number- given in assemblies. To see these programs elsewhere it would cost at least twen- ty-five cents so money is saved here. The student council takes some of this for Union Fund which supports the Honor Banquet and other activities. Each student receives many benefits from this plan. Does not the nickel- a-week pay? CLASSMEN I’d like to be a Freshman Just as green as I can be. Although sometimes from Sophomores It's very hard to flee. I’d rather be a Sophomore And with a Sophomore’s air. Discipline those Freshmen And make them run and rare. Oh. I’d like to be a Junior And with some maiden dear, Tell little jokes and ditties To take away a tear. I wouldn’t be a President; I wouldn’t be a King. I'd rather be a Senior If I didn't do a thing. My Farm in The Lion Country My Farm in the Lion Country” by Joyce Boyd is an unusual travel book. Unlike many of this type dry facts are omitted and the reader is enter- tained by the adventures of the Boyds in Tanganyika, yet the reader adds to his store of knowledge without any effort. Simplicity is the key note. The descriptions are short and vivid. In fact the reader imagines himself to be wdth the author in Africa. Being at- tacked by lions, traveling two hundred miles to take the children to school, pushing a car out of mud holes, hunt- ing wild game, gardening in Tangany- ika. shooting a poisonous snake in the garden, and living miles from another white person are but a small percent- age of the incidents in this book. My Farm in the Lion Country will supply every reader with several hours en- joyment and a broader knowledge of Afrfca. She: Have you put the cat out, darling? Darling (Sleepily): Naw. I didn’t even know it w’as on fire! Junior’s Psalm Koch is my shepherd I shall not pass He maketh me most deeply hu- miliated. He leadeth me into the paths of deep understanding. He exposeth my ignorance. Yea though I walk through the hall with my Chemistry book in my hand I cannot bluff him. He giveth me lectures in the presence of my classmates. My thoughts are nothing but Chemistry. Surely Koch and Chemistry shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the Chemistry lab forever.

Kenneth Brown: “The boys looked: good and showed lots of aggressive- j ness when they got down there with | their backs to the wall.” Terence Flower: “Well. I’d say that Charlotte did very well indeed. The blocking was what won the game. If they do as well in proportion with the time they have spent on it, they should do very well with the rest of the games. The boys did quite out- standing work.” Harlan McCall: I think it was the best job of blocking that I have seen j any Charlotte team do in some time. I believe that the boys should come through with a good season’s record if the first game is any indication of their ability.” Faculty Spend Varied Summer Charlotte High School’s faculty have had varied vacations. Studying, trav- eling, and working have occupied their time. Principal Harlan McCall took a Kel- logg foundation course at Ann Arbor, under the direction of Dr. Howard Mc- Clusky. Jay Dykhouse and Miss Winifred Wells also took the Kellogg course, but a Northwestern university, under Dr. Hamrin. After summer school had finished Miss Wells viBited a friend in Toronto, Canada. Jacob Van Vessem’s vacatiou was different. Working on a small farm and building fish ponds occupied the first month. He also traveled in the East, especially in New York. Miss Beatrice Williams took a trip through southern Ohio and West Vir- ginia. Later she motored up arouud Lake Huron and back by I ake Michi- gan. Wendell Anderson spent eight weeks at the University of Michigan taking two courses, one in physics and the other in education. Later he spent a week In the north woods. Mrs. Marie Taylor stayed at home. Mrs. Frances Wildern also remained at home. She worked in her garden and played golf. She was recently awarded third prize for her golf. “The rest of my vacation. says Mrs. Wil- dern, was personal. Mrs. Alleen Combs took a week’s trip up north. She attended summer school six weeks at Michigan State, taking two courses in education. Emerson Hildebrant went to sum- mer school at Olivet, played in the Kellogg band, and studied with a New York band. Mrs. Marena Kiplinger spent part of her time at the University of Michi- gan. taking two educational courses. Later she traveled through Northern Michigan visiting the Tahquamenon falls. Miss Sue Gillam went to summer school at State. She also spent some time at a cottage on Lake Michigan. Terence Flower ran a raspberry patch during the first part of the vaca- tion. Later he stayed at a cottage in the upper peninsula. Earl Mead remodeled houses. He worked on our own school house plan- ning and refinishing desks. Kenneth Brown worked on a farm, had his tonsils out, and spent some time in the northern woods. LOST AND FOUND LOST: Small brown leather notebook. loose-leaf.

A complete reorganization faces the club members due to the graduation of twenty seniors from last year’s club and the absence of Benjamin Hennink, who acted as advisor to the club for several years. Discussing matters as they were, the fellows iought it best to arrange a program with a sewWahdurd based upon the foufl C’s tW Hi-Y. Around this pro- f built plans for the club ings. attendance and membership, d a service program to carry out in the school and community. The Hi-Y is open to all juniors or seniors of any denomination. The next meeting will probably be held at the Methodist church on Tuesday. September 24, at 7:30 p. m.

LOCAL ELEVEN TO PLA Y MASON Tomorrow afternoon Charlotte high will make its 1935 Central Six confer- ence debut when it meets Mason high on the local field. Charlotte is fortunate In having lost only four regulars of last year’s team, all linemen. New material la being whipped Into shape by the coach to fill these vacancies. One year ago Charlotte triumphed over Mason by one touchdown, and since Mason also lost four regulars, we may look forward to a hard fought game. In a practice game with Okemos high, the Charlotte boys showed up very well, scoring almost at will. The probable line-up for Charlotte will be: Mayhew and Bobier, ends; Jones and Kelley, tackles; Everts and Gillette, guards; Schroeder. center, Munger. Briggs, Smith, and Dewey, backs.

ORIOLES TO MEET HASTINGS FRIDAY Coach Gobel Reports Change In Schedule; Date Moved Up From Saturday Coach Malcolm Gobel announced last week that the Hastings game which was to be played Saturday. Oc- tober 19. will be played Friday, Octo- ber 18 at Hastings. Hastings’ record up to last Friday was one win and two defeats. They bowed to the strong Lansing Central eleven, and to East Grand Rapids by a score of 12-0. Hastings won from Ionia 7-6. It is reported that the Hastings team is light but fast and shifty. Struble is their backfleld star and Angell is a capable center. Last year the two teams battled to a 6-6 tie. and from past performances a close game may be expected.

Surely these folks do not qual- ify as optimists; they are veritably the pessimists. This very lesson was brought directly to the students of Char- lotte high school through the lec- ture by Joe Schnitzler on Tuesday afternoon. Even though deprived of both legs and an arm he insists that he is not a cripple, but merely physi- cally handicapped. Said he: The op- timist sees the doughnut but the pessi- mist sees the hole.” To be an optimist one must be honest and kind. He in- sists that no one can be happy unless he makes some one else happy too. Never should an individual pity him- self. Moreover, one can make the big- gest mistake by being a dependent and a quitter. If one is a quitter in school he’ll be the same in life. If a thing cannot be done one way, try to do it another, but do it. Every single in- dividual has a multitude of blessings to make him comfortable and happy all his lifetime. Blessings include handicaps because they go to make character and stamina. As long as humans associate with one another they must train themselves to get along with each other; they must bej willing to help make others happy, also. Let us each one, check on himself, be frank and insistent, for by so do- ing we can make this world a beau- ; tiful. helpful, and better place in which to live.—E. J. K. Our Football Our current major sport is football. This year, thanks to the coach and the fellows, we have what sportsmen term a winning team. The boys take pride in their work and are giving us a team we can be proud of. Football isn’t all the snap and thrills that we as onlookers see. It isn't the crucial moment when a touchdown means victory; a fumble, defeat. Football as we see it on Fri- day is practice and practice and prac- tice four days out of each week � n order to prepare for that game. Hours of blocking, tackling, calisthenics, sig-; nal drill, and scrimmage. As a result we see the Orange and Black machine move steadily down the field or hold that line with a brilliant performance of teamwork. Teamwork is what counts, not the individual star. Where would the backfleld be if the line didn't hold? How many times is a touchdown made without the aid of skillful blocking? It’s teamwork that counts.—B. C.

Previously she had been elect- ed president of the commercial club. For this reason she resigned from the presidency of the travel club in order that the honors might be passed around. This act certainly entitles, Miss Garvey to a great deal of ap- plause for her unselfish action. The tickets for the games certainly prevent chiseling. The glee club ought to be able to vocalize before long. Ever noticed the blue slips? They I are too common. Some students are hearing that carving desks does not pay. Desks are made for books not vraste paper. Many acquaintances are made at the student mixers. The programs for the football games add to the interest of the contests.

Highlights of the East Lansing Game We'll have to hand it to you, East Lansing; you're even better than we thought you were. The Trojans certainly are living up to their reputation as “the best high school football team In the state. Bill Stack, captain, made the all state second team last year and ia potential material for the first team this year. In the first play Bomber three'g seven yard off-tackle run was a fast one. That certainly was a neat play in the second quarter when Penner ran a punt back thirty-five yards from the goal line; then Leighton ran six- ty-five yards to a touchdown. And did you notice the Trojan line up? Sort of box formation, clever, wasn't it? At the beginning of the second half the fight over in the race track be- tween two of our high school lads had a larger audience than the ball game. Goo-goo, the mascot, created quite an attraction, but he didn't seem to increase our luck at all. Coach Barnhill and Mrs. Barnhill of Okemos attended the slaughter. We heard Mr. Barnhill say, “Pretty good game! This Is what some of our teachers thought of It: Mr. Dykhouse: “I still say we have a good team and except for the sec- ond quarter they did some fine play- ing. Mrs. Kiplinger: I think Charlotte held the East Lansing team in the sec- ond half just fine. Mr. Koch: “The East Lansing team is just too heavy. Mr. King: Our captain. Kelley, is a good, clean, steady player.” Mr. McCall: Did we sell the hot dogs! Mr. Van Vessem: “Munger is a good defensive man. but I wish he were a little heavier.” One of Charlotte’s prominent busi- ness men was heard to say that what we needed was more school spirit. That’s an old saying. Our sympathies to Bill” Bobier, who is carrying his left wrist in splints, and to Little Robert Mun- ger, who had a piece of his tooth chipped off. All in all, it was a great game and we think you did some grand playing, team. Keep up the old fight! Can You Imagine- Donna Belle Blood—with black hair? Charlotte Alsover—changing a tire?

ORANGE BLACK rape 3 TROJANS DEFEAT LOCAL GRIDDERS BY SCORE OF 41-0 Penner, Drake, Stack Star For Blue and Wh.te Footballers A fast traveling East Lansing team invaded the C. H. S. borne stronghold last Friday, and suffering its first de- feat of the season. Charlotte went down under a score of 41-0. Flr t Score Made Karl) The scoring started in the first period when the Blue and White team galloped fifty yards to the Charlotte two yard line and then shoved the baJ! over the line on a plunge through cen- ter. As the quarter ended, Charlotte found themselves on their own goai line because the fickle pigskin had rolled to a stop just as it looked as if it would go over the last line. Smith punted to his own twenty-five yard line and the sphere was carried to the ten by Penner. East Lansing quarterback. Drake, full back, pro- ceeded to plunge through the line for the second Trojan touchdown. East I ansing again converted and the score stood 14-0. Score Three More For the third time, Charlotte chose to receive und Dewey took the ball to his own thirty-five. However the Blue and White team chalked up three more tallies and all but one of the companion points, by the end of the first half. In the third period the Orioles ral- lied and for the first time seemed to play real football. However a pass was Intercepted by East Lansing and both teams made a few short gains and then punted. The play was very even and at the beginning of the fourth and last quarter, the score still stood 34-0. Make Larky Tally The fourth opened up with the Tro- jans in possession of the ball, but not being able to negotiate a first down, they punted to the local team’s forty yard line. Again the Orange and Black started playing excellent football, but they were driven back and when Smith attempted to punt out of dangerous ground, a Trojan blocked his kick while another picked it up to score a four-leaf clover touch- down for the Lansing eleven. Charlotte received and after a few plays, the game ended in midfield, the score 41-0. Charlotte's outstanding players were: Everts, right guard, who made many of the tackles; Kelly, left tackle who likewise did his share; and the four back field members. Oriole leathers HAKLO DEWEY, Charlotte's three- sport star, has won major letters in football, basketball, and baseball. Dewey was born on December 2. 1917. He is a pitcher in baseball, guard in basketball, and a fullback in foot- ball. He has been handicapped se- verely during the past two seasons by an injured shoulder, which be- comes dislocated very easily. How- ever. he has over- come his handicap to a remarkable degree. In baseball he has developed into a very efficient side-arm pitcher, and wears a special shoulder brace, which helps him to control the recal- citrant member. He is a junior, and will be eligible for athletic competition for two more semesters. DON SMITH has been a thorn in the side of opposing football teams all season because of his sensational re- turns of punts. His return of a punt was the only score in the Cold water game, and he has returned punts for touchdowns against Mason and Grand Ledge. He is also a fine place-kicker making seven out of his last eight at tempts at converting points. Conference dope, as It appears to- day. appears to show that East Lan- sing is headed for another Central Six conference title. As the teams stand now. no team has sufficient power to stop the Trojan advance. Charlotte, prior to last week's game, was to have j furnished East Lansing's stiffest con- j ference competition. The standings are: Team Won Lost East Lansing ...... 2 Eaton Rapids ...... 2 Charlotte ...........2 Grand Ledge ....... 0 Mason ....-........ 0 Howell ............ 0 ----C-H-S---- Other Oriole teams have helped to give Charlotte distinction. 'Way back at the turn of the century, one of our teams played the first game ever play- ed on Pattengill field. Lansing's larg- est high school stadium. 'Hie Orange and Black scored the first points scored on the field, and eventually won the game by a score of 3-0. Char- lotte last won a conference title in ORIOLES TROUNCE MASON TEAM 34-6 Smith, Dewey Carry Pigskin Across Goal For Charlotte’s Points Pet. 1.000 .667 .667 .000 .000 .000 “Don Smith, fleet Charlotte quar- | terback. led his team mates to a 34-6 victory over the Mason eleven Friday. September 27. In the first few minutes of play. Charlotte scored two touchdowns, one on a forty-five yard run by Smith, and the other on a fifteen yard drive by Dewey. The Orioles scored once more In the first quarter. Smith running | around his own right end to cross the ' final chalk mark, thirty yards away. ' Bob Munger. acting captain, scored his first touchdown of his high school career, when he ran wide around end midway in the second period. The other local touchdown was scored by Smith when he ran a punt back to cross the goal line standing up. After he had missed his first try for point after touchdown. Smith kicked four straight, these points along with his three touchdowns, making him a total of twenty-two points for the day. Outstanding among the linemen for Charlotte were Bobier. Kelley, and Jones. Mason’s lone touchdown was scored on a pass from Harkell to Rullen. in the third period. Harkell was the outstanding player for the Maroon and Blue. 1924. Former Coach “Ken Barnhill played guard on that championship eleven. The big questions left now in the season are: Who will be all-confer- ence quarterback. Smith or Penner? Who will win, Charlotte or Eaton Rapids? Locals to Travel For Howell Game Next week Friday the Orioles will journey to Howell to participate in their annual conference game. Charlotte's record is one to be re- spected. Through hard work. Coach Gobel has succeeded in putting out a team that is the best Charlotte has seen for several years. McKinley, Howell’s star full-back, has graduated. That will be a haid vacancy to fill and still get as good a man as he. The Green and White also lost three others, Swick. half- back; Fulkerson and Wohlfeil, line- men. Coach Gobel says. “I think we stand a fair chance of winning.

Thursday, October 3. Rev. Nagel of the United Brethren Church of this city addressed the class. His subject was “Abraham. Father of the Faith- ful. He named seven points of Abra- ham’s life and elaborated on them. The seven points were: obedience, un- selfishness. courage, benevolence, in- corruptabllity. mighty in prayer, and wonderful in faith. In his speech Rev. Nagel brought out the fact that our real polish, culture, and refinement comes from God. Rev. W. L. Cruthers of the First Baptist Church of Michigan Center, spoke to the class on Mondav, October 7. His speech was based on the ques- tion. “What does Christianity offer young people? Some of the things he says that Christianity offers young people are: compelling interest, ex- hibition of a life that is worth while, opportunity to spend our lives in ser- vice. and building character. Rev. Cruthers stated that if we must fight, to fight men in our own country in- stead of having war with another country. Rev. Fields of Charlotte’s Baptist church introduced the speaker and after Rev. Cruthers’ speech an invita- tion was extended to the students to attend a service which was to be held at the Congregational church here. The meeting was for the ministers of the Baptist churches throughout the state to become acquainted with what the ministers of other cities are doing in their churches. The Bible study class is looking for- ward to several speakers in the near future. One of the speakers they are hoping to obtain is Father Gabriel of the Catholic church of Lansing. They are also in hopes of obtaining Rev. Glenn Frye, who is now taking a trip in Europe. Wanted A pillow and no disturbances— “Jimmie” Shaffer. A few odd dollars—Boys. A touchdown— The Bombers”.

CITY PUNS PARTY FOR BAND, TEAM Community to Hold Banquet At Temple; Haymes To Speak TO INVADE EATON RAPIDS IN TILT FOR SECOND PLACE ORIOLES TO INVADE EATON RAPIDS FOR ANNUAL GRID GAME Ten Seniors To See Service In Traditional Battle Armistice Day Ten seniors will be playing their last game for the Orioles when Char- lotte takes the field Monday against their traditional rivals. Eaton Rapids, in their annual Armistice Day foot- ball game. As they take the field for the final game of the season for both teams, the records show a marked similarity. Both teams have beaten the same con- ference opponents, and lost to the same team by almost identical scores. Charlotte’s record, however, is the slightly more impressive. The Island- ers defeated Mason 37-6. Charlotte down them 34-6; Eaton Rapids beat the Grand Ledge eleven 12-0. the Orioles trimmed, them 20-0; Eaton Rapids overpowered Howell 19-0, Charlotte took them into camp. 25-0; the Boys’ Vocational lost to the Is- landers 12-6. while Charlotte swamped them 34-7. Each team played one representa- tive of the Valley conference. Char- lotte beating Cold water 7-0, and Ea- ton Rapids losing to Albion 45-13. East Lansing soundly beat each team. Charlotte being beaten to the tune of 41-0, and the Islanders losing 45-0. In the conference competition Char- lotte has scored 79 points against her opponents 47. while Eaton Rapids has scored 68 points while her opponents were scoring 51. This tends to show that Charlotte has slightly the better team but when these traditional rivals meet, all pre-game dope usually either proves wrong or some team comes through with an upset. Charlotte has beaten Eaton Rapids only once in the past five years. The seniors who will be playing their last game for the Orange and Black are: Dick Kelley, Kenneth Jones. George Mayhew, Bill Bobier, Richard Schroeder. Don Smith, Bob Munger. and Milton Briggs. Clarence Harshman and Howard Gillette, util- , ity line-men. will also graduate next June.

With the arrival of this, the best season of the year, we begin to slow our restless pace a little, and realize that Joy and thankfulness to God for the grand privilege of living are para- mount in the scheme of things.” We seem just a little bit more thought- ful. more appreciative, and observant of kindness in others. With all this rebirth in thought and spirit, it hard- ly seems consistent that over-seas great statesmen are shaking their j heads dubiously over the peace of a continent, and perhaps (who knows?) 1 the entire world. It doesn’t seem right that a defenseless group of men must relinquish THEIR PRIVILEGE OF LIVING to the greed, to the ma- terialism. of a pugnacious race of people. Yet. as long as the drums keep play- ing. as long as the glory of a nation is at stake. To arms! To arms!” must be their watchword. What does it matter if the season of Thanks- giving is at hand? What does it matter how many wives are husband- less, children fatherless? And if your conscience, your reason, cannot be heard above the tramp-tramp of the soldiers on their way to glory , so much the better. You are being patriotic.—L. M. American Education Week Primary, rural, junior and senior high schools all over the United States of America will observe Amer- ican Education Week. November 11 to the 17. The purpose of the week is to enable citizens to because better acquainted with the schools. The general theme around which the observance is built is The School and Democracy. American Educa- tion Week is officially sponsored by the National Education Association, the American Legion, and the United States office of Education. Last year six million adults in four thousand communities took part in the Ameri- can Education Week activities. This year the goal is ten million adult citizens for the schools, and to make them better acquainted with the ideals, aims, and problems of educa- tion. There are a million teachers and thirty million students to lead and to arouse the interest of fathers, moth- ers. and all other citizens. The theme emphasizes the funda- mental principles upon which the na- tion is founded. By taking part in Education Week the student learns first hand one of the most important lessons in citizenship. He studies the purposes and needs of his school; he learns that the school is necessary to the success of our republic. As the National Education Associa- tion expresses it. “The free school is the expression of a mighty faith. Be- cause we believe in ourselves, in de- mocracy. and in the future we seek through the schools to improve the quality of our lives.”—M. C. AN INSTRUCTOR A tall, square shouldered, well built fellow he is. His face, neither oval or round is well proportioned as are his deep set blue eyes. Dark brown hair, rather wavey. is parted on the left. Even white teeth add at- tractiveness to his countenance. He has a rugged and engaging personality, and is a pleasing gentleman in the office as well as on the field. He sets an ex- ample of good sportsmanship and clean living as he well may do in a position of such influ- ence on youth. Last issue: Winifred Wells. N Honor Roll What are the advantages of being cn the honor roll? Is it just the mat- ter of obtaining sufficient points? No indeed! The honor roll is more than a list of names: it is the record of ability, achievement, con- scientiousness. and diligent study. To be on this list every time is a real task. If one fails he should not fall further back, but should strive to better his standing. To do this is more important than obtaining recog- nition on the list; improvement is the real reward. At the end of the year, all students who have been on the honor roll every time, or have been neither ab- sent nor tardy, or represent a school organization are eligible to attend the banquet sponsored by the student council. Thus the student has a goal in store and should try to eventually attain it in one way or another.— W. B. C. H. S. Library The Country Gentleman”. Bill Bo- bier. Red Pepper Burns , Charles Widrig.

It was a beauti- ful autumn night; the leaves were falling softly around me and warm gentle breezes fanned my face, making me feel so happy to be living and breathing the delicious air. Suddenly, as from nowhere, two figures sprang upon me covering my mouth so I would not yell. They quickly blindfolded me but I could kick, and kick I did. Their fierce language frightened me. Luring me in a high powered car, I was sped over country-wide. Faster and faster we went - - noise - - confusion - - it was all around. Surely there were others In the car besides myself. Was this a joke? Was I really kid- napped? Would I never see my home, family, and friends again? All these thoughts tossed hotly in my brain. I had u spliting headache. Five minutes before I was so happy to be alive and living in this crimeless” world. I was mad at no-one. But now!! After riding for a little, eter- nity. as it seemed to me. the car gradually came to a standstill. I was jerked from the car. Oh hor- rors!! I was being taken Into a house, a shack or possibly a barn. The kidnappers' hide-out of course! It was cold. My teeth chattered. My heart thumped. Cold perspiration stood out like pearls on my forehead. Oh!! I was made to duck. A board hit me. My shoes were pulled off and I was forced to walk on—ouch! ouch! What was it? It felt like beans and rice. I fell Into space, landed on something soft. A wet dripping something flew in my face. Weird spooky sounds pierced my ears. I screamed. Hey, what Is this! Then a burst of suppressed giggles and laughs. The bandage flew off my eyes and lo. there stood —well, it was only the Girl Reserve initiation!

Coach Malcolm Gobel, when asked for a statement about the Eat.m Rap- ids game, said I'll do my talk- ing after the game.” Assistant Coach Kenneth Brown stated. Judging by its play against Albion, this Eaton Rapids team is going to be plenty tough. ORANGE BLACK Page I ORIOLES VICTORS OVER VOCATIONAL Teamwork Used by Both Teams as Charlotte Wins 34-7 Lansing Vocational school was greeted by the second earthquake of the day shortly after their arrival in Charlotte. Friday, when the OrioleB gave them the works and galloped to a 34-7 victory by means of nearly every plan in existence. Passing and line bucks seemed to hold the top spots for both forces, with the game full of breaks on all sides It is well nigh impossible to list any individual stars because of the first class teamwork displayed during the whole game. However Putman. May hew. Everts. Kelley, and. as usual, the Four Bombers all played excellent football for Charlotte. Fer- guson. White, and King were out- standing on the opposition. The first score was made by the Orange and Black in the second per- iod. when Mayhew caught a long pass from Smith and galloped for a touch- down. Smith kicked the extra point, and the two teams faced off again. Shortly afterward M unger made a touchdown after Dewey had blocked a punt and downed it on the three yard line. Again the point was good and when the horn sounded, ending the half, the score stood 14-0. In the second half Putman started the scoring again, when he ran an intercepted pass to the end zone, chalking up six more. The point was made and Smith intercepted a pass in a short time, running it to the fifteen yard marker. Putman car- ried the pigskin to the five and Smith pushed it over. The point was no good. Several substitutes went in for both teams and the game again got under way. When the third quar- ter was nearly over. Dewey took the ball over the line making the score 34-0 after the conversion. In the last period. Vocational sud- denly seemed to come to life and kept pounding the line for gains. Al- though Charlotte sent In several first men again, a touchdown and its com- panion point was scored making the tally 34-7. The two teams began to hold, neither one gaining much ground. After a few plays tin game ended with the score still 34-7 with the Orange and Black on the heavy end. Oriole feathers GEORGE MAYHEW. local end. will be playing his last football game for the Orange and Black when he takes the field against Eaton Rapids Mon- day afternoon. George started his football career as a freshman at Grand Ledge. That year he was safety man. beating out a regular for the position. In his first season, he played in only three games, due to an injury to his shoulder. The next year he played end for the Ledgers, moving to Charlotte soon after the end of the season. Thus far in his high school career, he has earned two foot- ball and one track letter at Grand I edge. and two football and one base- ball letter here. He has announced his intention of going out for basket- ball this year. He is president of the senior class, and will be eighteen the 2l8t of December. ----C-H-S--- Raymond Putman, who substituted for Dewey in the Howell game, showed that he has great potential football ability. He probably will be a regu- lar next year. Other subs who stand a good chance of making the squad next year are Eldred Toutant, “Mike Mayhew. and other subs who have seen service at one time or another this year. ----C-H-S--- Congratulations to Coach Gobel! In his first year here, he has turned out a fine team. A victory over Eaton Rapids will make his first CHS eleven a complete success. . . . Many thanks to Mr. Charles Wood, of Wood’s drug store, for the trophy he is giving to the winner of the Charlotte-Eaton Rapids game. Such civic-mindedness in one who has lived in Charlotte only a short time, is cer- tainly commendable. . . . Another trophy worth getting is the little brown Jug. Eaton Rapids won it last Armistice day. and it has been dis- played in their trophy case for the past year. This trophy was originat- ed by former Coach Ken Barnhill, and will probably be the starting of another tradition. CHARLOTTE SWAMPS HIGHLANDERS 25-0 Everts, Putman, Smith Star Against Howell Eleven in Fast Game Taking advantage of the fairly high wind, the Charlotte eleven rode to a victory over Howell on the Howell gridiron two weeks ago, by a score of 25-0. Both teams used passes freely but most of the ground was gained on plunges and punts. Charlotte’s out- standing players were Everts, Put- man. Kelley, and the Four Bombers, while Smith. Musson. and Granger starred for the Highlanders. The scoring started after the first ten minutes of play when Smith snagged a Howell punt and ran forty yards for a touchdown. The extra was perfect. In five minutes another tally was scored because of a blocked punt. The half ended with the score standing 13-0. In the third quarter, the Orioles were crippled when Dewey was hurt and had to be taken out. Putman went in and soon a touchdown was scored by Smith. The extra point was scored on a running play. The last period saw another touch- down made by the Orioles, when the ball was hammered across the goal line by running plays. Howell then started putting in a new team, but after the ball changed hands several times, the game ended with the score 25-0 in favor of the Orioles. ORIOLES DOWN HASTINGS 28-0 Coach Gobel's Orange and Black varsity romped over Hastings. Friday. October 18 by a score of 28-0. Don” Smith accounted for the first score halfway In the second quarter and then kicked the extra point. Follow- ing the kick-off. Dewey broke through to smother a Hastings punt for a safety. George Collins tallied again in the third period when he intercept- ed a pass and scampered sixty yards for the touchdown. Taking advant- age of a Hastings fumble in the third period. Smith passed to Briggs who was stopped on the one yard line. Briggs then made good on the next play. Dewey chalked up number four In the final period. The reserves played to a scoreless tie in a hard fought battle. Shaffer starred for the “midgets”. GUESS WHO? He moves quickly steps short; He nears the gate; thumping heart; His eyes wide; he is beginning; His mouth open: he is grinning. So begins the first day. Steps sluggish; grins no more; P'nters gate; heart sore; Eyes dull; lips compressed: Five long days; I need a rest.” So ends the first week. -H-S- Special Ice Cream For Any Occasion C A L L Charlotte Home Dairy HM The second team has played in sev- eral games this year.

It some- how seems sort of “heathenish” to be enjoying the turkey, the evenings be- fore the fireplace, and all the vacation fun. without pondering a little more deeplv on what it’s all about,” and really being thankful for something, ; But the more we try to pick out our blessings, the more we miss the real spirit of Thanksgiving. Thankfulness comes from within; it is not defin- able. It is not enough to say we’re glad this happened, and ”oh. thank the Lord for that.” We can best prove our appreciation by things we do whole- heartedly and unselfishly.—L. M. The Charhian For several years it has been a custom of the senior class to publish a year book, with the help of the jour- nalism class. This year’s publication will mark the third anniversary of the Charhian. Formerly it was called the Delphian. The book contains the picture as well as the history of each class. Pages are devoted to athletics, honor students, humor and the senior's biog- raphies. Too, a copy of each issue of the Orange and Black for the school year is compiled therein. ears to come and the book will be priceless to each alumnus. Pictures of classmatesj and records of achievements will de- light and enrich memories. The auto- ■ graphs enhance the value of the book.

Youth Do we. the youth of today, and lead- ers of this nation tomorrow, realize the obstacles confronting us in this age of crime, competition, and corrupt government? Our elders wonder just how we will manage affairs. But do not believe what some have been telling us namely, that we are the lost genera- tion. In the next fifteen years youth must do the things that our elders failed to do. We must develop new leaders and open new paths into the future. Ages cf stability are the paradise of the middle ages and the old, but it Is ages like ours, when the government—or perhaps civilization itself—must be re- shaped and rebuilt, that demand, above all. the confidence, courage, and the vision of youth. We need, desperately, a new system of education, a revival of religion, new forms of government and new ways of living. Our education and social advantages far surpass that of our parents.

Everyone knew that he had put his w'hole heart and soul Into that game and played with all his might. As he climbed three flights of stairs, a i groan came from between his tightly pressed lips. Worshipful classmates admired his determination and courage. They saw that every step was misery. What loy- alty to the school to sacrifice himself by upholding its honor on the foot- ball field! At last he reached the top of the stairs and staggered down the hall. The sight of his room gave him new j energy. He dragged himself to the door. With a sigh of relief he fell into his seat. His tense features relaxed and a broad smile spread over his; countenance as he took off those ter- j rible new shoes.—Exchange Inquiring Reporter At last I know the secret of it all— the great art of dunking has at last been revealed by our great and near great; thanks to my lucky stars I didn't have to do any key-hole peeking.

Because of Harlo Dewey’s fast thinking and faultless handling of an intercepted pass, the Charlotte Orioles, fighting through the rain and mud of Armistice day. downed Eaton Kapids 6-o on the Islander's home held. The gridiron was soft from the driving rain, which had been pound- ing since morning and the slippery ball caused several fumbles. The first period brought forth line plunges which hammered the center of the Oriole forward for gain after gain. The ball was constantly kicked out of tight places and passing, though un- certain with the wet ball, was used to good effect. However, running through the line gained most of the yardage all afternoon. hroroN On 1jo� k llun Opportunities came early In the first period for both teams, but none of them w’ere effected Into the desired result. The Orange and Black loomed near the Islander s end zone on an early drive but lost the ball on downs. Eaton Kapids returned the ball to the Orioles three yard marker where Charlotte held and kicked out of dan- ger as the quarter ended. After Smith zipped a punt to the Eaton Kapids forty yard line, the Islanders attempted a long pass. Dew- ey snatched the throw and galloped from his own forty-five to the Prom- ised I and” and the only score of the game. Smith missed the conversion.' From that point until the end of the half it was a toss-up as to which team! excelled. Second Half Exciting In the third and fourth periods both teams settled down to a steady grind of running, passing, and punting. In spite of the cold rain and mud. the last half was well worth witnessing. Both elevens played real football and charged up and down the well-chop- ped, water soaked turf until the game ended with the score still 6-0. Every man fought well. Everts.1 Bolder. Dewey, and Briggs starred for the Orange and Black. Schultz and Simpson were tops for the Islanders.

Briggs will close his high school athletic career in February, while Kelly will be eligible for sports until next June. Briggs lives in Charlotte and Kelly is a rural student. Milton has been on the football team for three years, while Crash is a regu- lar of two year’s experience. Both players have been consistent. Kelly has been mentioned as an outstanding candidate for all-conference honors. He has been one of the outstanding line-men on this year’s team. Briggs, a back, has been playing what is nom- inally blocking back position and has been one of the best blockers on the team. His tackling has been note- worthy also. Briggs has been a re- serve guard on the basketball team for the past two years and stands a good chance of seeing service on the first team of this year. He has also been a member of the track team. Kelly is slightly the older of the two. and will be 18 December 13, while Briggs will be 18 March 15. —C-H-S— East Lansing's S5-0 victory over Howell, gave the Trojans their fourth straight undefeated season.

For six years China has been her home and she has served as a teacher there. Her first year in China was spent in mastering the Chinese language. In Chinese schools the students rise when the teacher enters the room, said Miss Xagler. There are fifty teachers to one hundred pupils in the schools; each teacher drills the student on the same subject in a dif- ferent manner. The Chinese have no al- phabet. but write by means of signs. Miss Xagler demonstrated some Chin- ese writing to the class. She also gave some expressions in Chinese. Many words in Chinese have the same sign but are distinguished from one anoth- er by pronouncing them in different vocal intonations. The Chinese girls dress like American girls and wear bobbed hair. A vivid description of t e homes and enrdens was brought to the students by Miss Xagler.

Emerson Hildebrant, director of the high school band complimented the work of the band so far this year. Mr. Hildebrant states, 'T am certain we have one of the best bands the high school has ever had, but we are at the point where individual practice will determine whether we shall progress or remain where we are. Chair warbl- ers are not desirable.” He reports that in spite of the bad weather and handicaps on Armistice day. the band put across its best performance at Eaton Rapids. Fifteen students are enrolled in the 4unior band. Bv combining both bands next spring. Mr. Hildebrant hopes to ave a much larger and better march- ing band.

Doctor Sevener Gives Address to Bible Class Explains Effects of Tobacco; Answers Varied Questions Doctor Lester Sevener spoke to the eighth hour Bible class Tuesday. December 3. His talk was devoted to the effects of tobacco on the hu- man body and answering numerous question. Comparing a time-piece to the hu- man body. Dr. Sevener explained how wonderful God must be in his skill to make such an intricate ma- chine as a man. The body organs, the brain, the lungs, and the heart, all in themsel- ves are masterpieces. “The heart generates enough energy to lift an ordinary sized man to twice the height of New York's tallest sky- scraper.” asserted Doctor Sevener. He assured the class that the use of tobacco tends to increase the heart beat and cause a rise in blood pressure at first; then it lowers the blood pressure and the heart beat decreases. The statement that it is more pleasant to smoke at night than in the daylight was a rather surprising one. Upon the question of women smoking Dr. Sevener commented “A woman has as much right to take poison as a man. but It is worse on their nervous system. He also contended that it w'as even harmful to smoke occasionally. The best way to overcome an in- feriority complex is to mingle more with people. he replied in answer to the question. On being asked If he thought the prophecies of the Bible were being fulfilled, he said he thought they were. In conclud- ing he emphasized. “Doctors with stronger characters are needed to- day. 3 X i o.

To most of us Christmas is Just a time when we exchange gifts with our: friends. It is a time for feasting and having a jolly old time. To our parents Christmas is a time when they can make us still happier by giving us the gift s we’ve been look- ing at in the downtown windows since last Christmas To them it also signifies something that they understand better than most of us; it marks the anniversary of Jesus' birth. Many years ago a small child was born in a manger in far off Bethle- hem. The wise men saw the star that pointed to Jesus’ birthplace and went there with gifts.

Most of us will eat a big meal and sleep la‘e every day. However these few have special things to do which have almost become a hobby to them.

'nother rro'e sed nlmrol is Joe Simek. bra'n of the newspaoer, who will also attempt to bring down sev- eral bunnies when he is not read'nv. Ac'-e t on youth Burke, known to h s family as James, intends to go places and do things. He claims that he will probably end up in the Domin- ion of Canada.

He was seatd In the principal’s chair in Mr. McCall’s office with his legs propped up on the desk in the most business like way imaginable. When 1 inquired about his great est uinbition ho stated that he didn't have any in particular, but a great many. Since this is his last year m school, he is trying to figure out ♦he vocation that he could do the best in. He declared that he would- n’t mind being a coroner, but hu jdoosn't like politics, so that's out. although he has thought of follow- ing his father’s footsteps and being an undertaker. But since he has always lived in that atmosphere he would like to try something differ- ent. Like millions of other boys b- once had the whim that he would : like to go to Annapolis. Farming is entirely off tho list on account of his hay fever. The medical profess- i ion right at present looks good to i him. and since he wants to do a i j of good In the world I am sure you all will agree that this profession is | tho one he should choose. His hobby and his best pal is his trumpet. Building sail boats is his other favorite hobby. Bill likes exerythlng along the eating line except raw oysters, fat meat and doughnuts. (Notice gals i � t wouldn’t be hard to cook for a man like ‘‘Bill !) Things made in- to a stew, and fruit salad, and whip- ped cream are his favorite dishes. He loves dogs: the Russian wolf and St. Bernard. He has no use for cats. Now comes the best part! This promising young man has no use for girls who smoke cigarettes and drink, and he stated that he abso- lutely wouldn't marry one. He doesn’t know what college he would like to go to. but he thinks Michigan State is as good as any. “A Night at the Opera” I et ro-GoMwy n- Mayer Players Otis B.

According to comments heard from the audience and other sources the play was very successful. Each character played his respective role with ease. Patty Hlgby was very outstanding in her heroine role and she played it with a certain charm and vivaciousness that brought out the part to the nth degree. The hero portrayed by Bob Bush did equally fine and characterized his part with reality. Mr. Flower, one of the junior class advisors, stated that the play was a great success. “I thought the play was wonderful and all the characters were so well adapted for their parts”, remarked Mrs. Combs. Characters Comment Howard Bond believed that it was stupendous, colossal and when Phyl- lis Canfield made love—oh boy! Marthagene Biggs thought Bob Taylor made an ideal hero. Katheryn Willis: “Play practices were more fun and something 1 will never forget. Clare Perry: I thought it was a lot of work.” Patty Higby: Playing the heroine role was oodles of fun but a lot of hard work.” Bob Bush: “I delightfully enjoyed the ostentatiousness of my portrayal.” Phyllis Canfield: Being a merry widow wasn't so bad but it could have been worse and it could have keen better.” Donald Richey: It has been ex- tremely pleasant to work with this splendid group of people.” Margaret Ann LeRoy: I spent a lot of time on it, but it was worth it as I thought it was quite an honor to be in it.” Junior Russe' 1: “I thought !t went over big and I am sure glad I had a chance to be in it.” Harold Zimmerman ’35 is working at the Bear Oil company in Grand Ledge.

They were stand- ing before the beautifully decorated toy shop, exclaiming with awe over the many toys that filled the r hear.s with joy upon first gazing at them. Then they remembered there would be no Santa Claus for them this year. Mother had sadly explained to them that Santa would have to miss a few little kiddies this Christmas. The three small children shivered as the cold December wind whirled snow around them. They tried to draw their thin little coats around their cold little bodies tighter. The old man looking at them with disgust, muttered, “little urchins, wishing for toys when they have hardly enough clothes to wear. What is Christmas anyway, it’s Just a lot of nonsense, there’s no sense to it.” Again he turned to the small children and no- ticed all three were clasping hands tightly. Tears welled up in the smaU- est one’s eyes as her little heart cried out fir a beautiful waxen doll. Then they were gone around the corner to- ward the tracks to enter a tumble down shack. Bare inside it was. but COMPLIMENTS OF GIAR’S 112 S. Main clean. A tired and sad looking mother sat rocking a small infant near a dy- ing fire.

He was Miser Bill”, as every- one called him. Living with only a servant who shook with terror every time he neared him, this old man hated life, the whole world, everyone in it. and some say himself. Yet. he could make himself and o hers happy with his wealth. He practically threw a little boy from his porch who was selling magazines. It is true he hated everything. Entering his comfortable home.

Smith played what Is usually the center’s posit :on, while Dewey and Putman played guards, and Toutant performed in the other forward’s berth. The Orioles have defeated Belding In two practice games, but their per- formances in both games were far from creditable. The local’s defense has been ragged, and their ball- handling could stand much improve- ment. Coach Gobel has not. as yet, decided upon his starting lineup.

The same year he aiso obtained letters In track and baseball. The members of the j track squad named Bob” as cap- lain. During his playing time on ♦no gridiron he has held down the left halfback position. This year Bob’s speed proved to be his greatest asset. Although not a high scorer he sure could tote” that pig- skin around the ends. Munger is seventeen years old and he has been the lightest man on the football team for the last two years. Bob’s athletic eligibility will end in June. He will bo beck for track this spring and will exhibit his speed in the dashes. —C.H.S.— ’T'ari Bobier. the fellow that was always in the way when oppos- ing teams ran in his direction, has two letters in football.

Charlotte defeated the Maroon and Blue in both engagements last year, but due to Mason's added strength on their home court no prediction can be made as to the outcome. The local mentor has not as yet made any decision as to a possible line-up. however, the cagers who make the best showing against Has- tings will undoubtedly see consider- able action.

The score was 36-11. Scoring during the first two periods was checked by both teams which forced the Trojans to enact a third period spurt In order to cop the game. East Lansing capi- talized on the new ruling which elim- inates the tip-off following a free throw. More than once this caught the locals off guard. Stack and Tansey each chalked eleven points for the Trojans while Smith lopped the local cagers with five points. On January 24. East Lan- sing invades the local court in the return game. Last year Shaver’s men held a margin of forty points at the final gun. I.ast week's 36-11 score shows a marked improvement on the part of the Orioles.

Miser Bill was tired and lay down on his couch to rest. Suddenly, soft melodious music came to his ears and angels stood bei'ore him singing. One of them came toward him carrying a cross whose brightness seemed to bathe her In a holy light. The music became softer; the angel stood b fore him. The old man was trembling and wanted to tell them to get out, but he seemed paralyzed. She began to speak. “Christmas day Is the day of Christ's birth. It is a day when everyone is giving and getting with a fee ing of love. Hearts are made happy by l.t le gifts. You too can be happy by mak- ing others happy. Christ died that you might live and be happy. Can- not you in his name make this Christ- mas a holy and joyous one? The an- gels disappeared. The old man sat up Why. he had been dreaming! He sat for a long time, then realized with a sad heart all these years he had been living his life away, accomplished nothing. Ah. yes. he was stingy and worthless, but what could he do about it now. Suddenly a smile sore id over his wrinkled old face, the first kindly smile in years: he rememberel those three little children d: earning and wishing for something they could never have. That night his home was filled with children's laughter, and exclamations of delight over toys, clothing, and food, and, oh. above all, happiness. At last Miser Bill was happy by mak- ing others so.

Starting this year with four old members, the Hl-Y has increased its: membership to twenty-five. At the beginning of the year. Prin- cipal Harlan McCall was selected as the new advisor. Under his tutelage, the boys have been able to accomplish several activities. The club meets on Tuesday night of every other week. This semester's program has been eventful. Dale Bryan, George Mayhew. and William Bobier represented the group at the slate Older Boys’ conference. The Reverend George Mooers gave a talk on “The Attitude We Should Take I Towards War. The discussion lead- er for this subject was George May- hew. William Cheney and Milton Briggs contributed talks on Camp Ha- yo-Went-Ha state Hi-Y camp. Twelve 1 boys of the grade schools were enter- tained by the group. Two fellows were assigned to each boy to see that he had transportation and a useful gift under the Christmas tree. Plans for next semester include talks by each of the city’s ministers. The boys will select the subjects. The officers for this year are: Wil- liam Bobier. president; Milton Briggs, vice president: Richard Schroeder. secretary-treasurer; and William Cheney, chaplain. Seniors Select Invitations To select invitations was the pur- pose of a senior class meeting heldl | last Thursday during the second per- iod. Invitations were submitted by I i two companies. From this group a ! first and second choice were made and I then a final vote was taken. VOTE 7 TO 1 AS SCHOOL PROJECT PASSES THROUGH New High School To Have Novel Auditorium, Gymnasium. TO INCLUDE JUNIOR HIGH Voted through by a majority of seven and one half to one. the pro- posal for a bond issue to finance the building of a new high school became a definite plan, last Friday night. Transfer of $25,000 from the general fund to the building fund was passed six and one-half to one. Work will begin on the project as soon as possi- ble after February 1. At present plana are not certain but it is probable that high school classes will be held in the Hawthorne building and the present Hawthorne students will be moved to the old Longfellow building. However, be- cause of the possibility that tco much repair may be necessary before open- ing the Longfellow, some other build- ing, such as the Masonic temple, will be used. 1914 Structure to Stand. The east half of the present build- ing, erected in 1914 and which con- tains the high room, science, and com- mercial departments, and the gym- nasium. will be preserved and the new building will be placed on the west side of it, making the building almost a complete square. A machine shop for automotive mechanics and manual arts will be on the north and east of where the boiler now stands, and the whole Bchool will occupy the present school ground within ten feet of the Hawthorne building and will ex- tend half way from the present build- ing to the sidewalk in front Auditorium Novel Feature. Probably one of the most novel features of the building will be the auditorium, which will be connected with the gymnasium by means of elec- trically operated folding doors at the back of the stage. These doors may be opened to enable the use of the gym floor for additional stage space. This will provide ample room for the use of scenery and stage props. The auditorium itself will have a raised floor with a deep balcony and indi- vidual seats. It will be on the order of the modern theatre and will con- tain a motion picture projector booth. Connections with the gymnasium will allow spectators to sit in individual seats. This feature will eliminate wasted” space which bleachers would take up. Warren S. Holmes, the architect, asserts. This arrangement is very satisfactory in many new schools.” Another Idea will be to con- vert the present auditorium into a junior high school and the installa- tion of a senior library in the new sec- tion. All class rooms will be lighted by means of a new system which Mr. Holmes has patented. Each ten foot section will contain its own lighting facilities, enabling partitions to be (Continued Page 4.

H. S. Every organization has some things they do over and over ior a number of years until it seems only natural for these events to come around, vv lien this is so. the event becomes a tradl- t on. Have you ever thought about the number of traditions taat are tound in Chariot.e high school? How a out the city hallow® en party, when every- one in school is admitted to the show free of charge.' This surely has be- come a trauitlonal event. Then .he night before the Eaton Rapids toot- bail game comes the largest and most important pep meeting of the year, when every inmate of Charlotte high school grabs his fellow inmate s hand and parades down Main Street, shout- ing tor a victory for C. H. S. The Juniors also play an important part in the schools trad.tions. Every year they put on a jun.or play to se- cure funds, so they can show the seniors a good time at the junior- senior prom. There are altogether too many tra- ditions to go into detail about, but these are just a few of the most im- portant ones. There is one that means a great deal to everyone that is leav- ing school—the annual Charhian sales week. Th's usually starts with an assembly given by members of the journalism class, in which they show how much the Charhian means to one after he has been out of school for a few years. Then the boys and girls display their super-salesmanship by seeing who can sell the most sub- scriptions for Charhians. For a week th s keeps up: then everything Is quiet until the Charhi- an arrives, when again everything in the line of school work goes astray, and everyone is signing everyone else’s Charhian. This lasts until the sen- iors bid farewell to the old school house. Of course the seniors have quite a number of traditions themselves: senior skip day. which is going to be a trip this year. Junior-senior prom, Baccalaureate, class night, and last of all Commencement. Let's keep these old traditions roll- ing. and add some new ones; then C. H. S. won’t be so bad after all.

High Room Leap Year, 1936. My Dearest Bunny, Peggy says I should write and tell ; you all the news that has happened! ! since you left the dear rambling old j tducational institution. Nuthin has I happened much except our friend | Frank Braden said he et eighteen i slices of bread and butter for supper I one night and Francis Flaherty agreed ' that bread was the staff of life, j Santa brought “Bill Cheney some new i clothes which he needed very much and the Hi-Y boys had a sliding party and I guess that is about all the news for this time, except Milton Briggs told the boys to bring anything they had to slide on. Oops! Betty Sparks got her hair curled permanently and lots of the kids told me what they thought of Leap Year. Bless their little hearts! They all unanimouslj agreed that Leap Year comes but once every four years, but when it comes it brings good cheer (for some of the high stepping females). Pete Mason, one of our P. G.’s, be- lieved that was the reason that we were going to lose one of our popular young teachers in the near future. We wonder who? Eva Jeanne Kip- linger thought for a moment and then decided that she wasn’t romantically inclined this time and petite Lucille Marvin agreed that it ought to come in handy in another four years. We all wondered Just what our hero. Bob Munger, meant when he said. It gives us good ole guy’s a break for I once.” Jack O’dell, whose heart is tucked away in an Albion dormitory, sadly replied, It won’t do me any good. Remember Blue Slip? Well, his heart throb, Janice Green, doesn’t believe in Leap Year as it doesn’t work out so hot. and Eldred Toutant. our promising football star, thinks it is all right if you are good looking. Tsh! Tsh! Such vanity, Eldred! De- mure Norma Paton honestly believes it gives the gals in the world a big opportunity if they would only make use of it. With mischief in her eyes, Jo Lucke, laughingly replied, It’s all right, but also depends on who it is.” Dale Bryan was all excited when he was asked what he thought about Leap Year. He said. I think it’s swell, as I Just got a date, oh boy, oh boy!” We agreed with Dale that he had need of getting excited about nothing—I mean some thing—no nothing—Oh well—skip it—it’s time to hit the hay. So darling Bunny I close with. Luff and Kisses Dixie P. S. I’ll write yuh next Leap Year. Lucille Marvin would like to know who gives diamond rings to girls. Poor Dears-- Click! click! That was just my heel pla.es making all the noise as I ap- proached the journalism workroom at the farther end of the corridor. Sud- denly I slackened my pace. What were those agonizing sounds ssuing from the workroom? I heard sighs groans, gnashing of teeth, and puiluig of hair. Was it some poor dear in un- tress, or were two rough necks en- gaging in battle? At first I thought It might be best if 1 did nj. enter, tut bucking up my courage I reluctantly and cautiously opened the door and peered within. Much to my amaze- ment the room was in no more dis- order than usual. Several senior stu- dents were sitting around on the table, desk, or window sills. Not a one was laid out on the floor, as I ex- pected. but on every face was a look of agony and anxiety as they poured over books and papers. They groaned and sighed, puiled their hair and chewed their fingernails until I began to think they were all afflicted with leprosey. After I breathlessly asked what their trouble was. they gave me a dis- heartening look and in chorus groan- ed, We’re studying for exams!” Mattii Their Smcke Fran” Flaherty, worthy Charhian Business Manager, and sports writer of much d stinction, has condescended to answer a few of my humble queries in order that ve rabble may get an inside peek into the lives of the great and near-great. (With apologies to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Senator Nye, and Emperor Haile Selassie.) At first Fran was a little reticent on the subject of his ambition, but he soon warmed to the subject and sur- prised me greatly by announcing that he intends to be a doctor. He thinks it would be nice to be a ship's doctor. But what if the boat might leak sometime?” I asked. He dismissed this with a shrug What would I care, I wouldn’t be the owner. In answer to my next question: What do you think of people who sleep in classes? he says. It’s all right if they can talk in their sleep and say the right things.’ Fran is very indifferent on tie sub- ject of girls. He says they’re all right, but I could tell by the look on his face that he isn’t the kind to get all hot and bothered about them. I couldn’t let him off so easy as that on such an important subject, so I asked him what color hair he prefers. Black , says he, not just brown—I like it black.” He says in regard to flowers, birds, and poetry: “I -’on’t hate them, hut I don't go nuts over them, or anything like that. He certainly isn t senti- mentally inclined. His favorite athlete is Jack Demp- sey and his most revered movie star is Binnie Barnes. Fran thinks the supreme Epicurean delights are tur- key and mushroom soup, with especial Emphasis on the mushroom soup. So far as I can see. he is always good natured and happy. This is rather unusual so I asked him if he never gets irritated. Just once in a great while , says he, Sometimes 1 get provoked at my brother, and then I SEE RED. This wouldn’t be an interview un- less there was some opinion ex- pressed as to who our next president will be. I didn’t have any trouble getting this response out of him, how- ever: “Roosevelt, of course. —Say, Mr., you are all right. In conclusion I asked what he thinks of the younger generation. Well”, says he. as Demonsthenes” said. “Wild colts make the best horses. C. H. S. Dopebucket— They are thinking of sending Mr. Mcuall to the Olympic games th.s year. You see, he piloted a bob-sled down McFeek's hill and n.ode record run, even if he did lose about half of his crew when Bob Kilian tell off the brakeman's seat, and decided that Bob Walker and Gordon Cheney should come off with him. However, Mrs. Walker’s little boy nearly got un the record run at that. He took hold of the back runner and coasted mer- rily on his stomach for a considerable distance. And when Milton Briggs, demon driver of the toboggan, thought he would rather fly than coast, and took off from a miniature ski jump, mistaking it for the tobaggan trail, did the journalism teacher blink his eye? No! He unceremoniously doffed his hat, and it went sailing down the hill. when George Mayhew, president to you. was asked to tell what he thought about the school project, he said, They better grab it before it's declared unconstitutional! Ruth Mar- tin, known to her tr ends as prima donna , thinks its just too. too won- derful. If all flat tires go where various members of our student body con- demn them, there must he a terrible smell of burning rubber some place. Yes. there is too much over worked publicity going around. For Instance, who cares ahout Chuck Everts and his love affairs? But on the side, the rumor is coming to light that he is going to Nashville quite often. And speaking of things going around, in a recent vote at one of our leading colleges, one person said that he never heard The Music Goes ’Round and ’Round . He had been deaf for five years. Have you seen Bill Bobier’s new ear-iings? Whoops, my dear! All you theme writers had better get into practice. Beginning in the next issue, the Orange and Black will contain a column entitled Authors Corner . It will be devoted to the best themes of the month and their authors. —Also a Happy New Year - Mutiny on the Bounty” M.-G.-M.

BLACK Base 3 Orioles To Meet Ledger Quintet Tomorrow night the Charlotte cag- | er� will Invade Grand Ledge In the first engagement of the year between the two schools. Sizing up the record of both team� It look� rather even. Only one con- ference game has been played by Grand Ledge, that being with the East Landing Trojans at which time a smarting 46-12 defeat was handed then� . Charlotte had two defeats received from East Lansing and Hastings 36-11 and 12-3. respectively, and a victory from Mason. “It looks like a fifty-fifty chance of winning. stated Coach Malcolm Co- bel. The starting lineup for Grand Ledge will undoubtedly be: forwards. Oliver and Wiseman: center. Shoemaker; and. guards. Kingsley and Brigham. The last three are second year men on1 the regular team. According to ex- j pectations. Collins and Dewey will1 fill guard posts; Schroeder, center; and whether Toutant. Putman, or Smith will hold forward positions for the Orioles is a debatable point. SENIORS LEAD CLASS CAGERS Handing the freshmen a stinging 64-2 defeat last Friday, the seniors hung on to first place in the inlerclass standings. The juniors edged out the sophomores by a 17-16 count to stay in the race, one game behind the upper classmen. Schimmel and Braden snatched twenty-seven and twenty-eight points respectively for high scoring honors The seniors were able to score at will in the engagement. The Juniors barely nosed out the sophs when Bob Ray netted a shot in the closing minutes to put his team on the long end of the score. The tilt was anybody's game until the final gun. Games tomorrow promise to be heartbeater8. The juniors will try for a tie with the seniors and the fresh- men will attempt to catch the sopho- more quintet for another tie in the standings. The standings are: wins loses per cent Seniors 3 0 1.000 Juniors 2 1 .666 Sophomores 1 2 .333 Freshmen 0 3 .000 Fred A. Richey Co Dry Goods Read)-to-Wear and Rugs GR ORIOLE LEATHERS Richard Schroeder, varsity basket- ball center, was also center on the football squad. In football he was regular center for two years and this is his second year on the cage squad. This country lad's height gives him an advantage on the tip-off and re- bounds. He is six feet four and weighs one hundred eighty pounds. The coach doesn't have to worry about his scholastic eligibility because Dick has made the honor roll every time for the last three years. He is a prominent Future Farmer and will graduate this year. Howell's defeat of the powerful East Lansing five promises to make the Central Six title race a lively one. Charlotte and Eaton Rapids also have strong teams and the squad that cops the title will find plenty of opposi- tion. The Orioles have four games carded for the next two weeks. Tuesday they face the Boys Vocational school on the home floor. Little is known of the opponents, but the Orioles can't take this game too lightly because they upset the Orange and Black last spring. Next week Friday East Lansing comes to Charlotte for a return en- gagement. The Trojans have struck a losing streak after drubbing Char- lotte and Grand Ledge. They have lost their last three games while the Orioles have shown signs of improve- ment. The college city five will be handicapped by the low ceiling and rom all indications the game promises to be a close one. On January 31, Charlotte invades Howell. The Gold and Green have three regulars from last year's team that ended in third place. Charlotte defeated Howell twice last year by the margin of three points and the games this year will be closely contested. ----CHS------ The Orange and Black gained their first victory of the season at Mason December 19. The Blue and White didn’t make a field goal until the fourth quarter. Dewey and Schroed- er made seven and six points respec- tively. A GOOD HABIT TRY Wood’s Drug Store FIRST ON Young’s Jewelry Shop For Gift� and Waleh and Jewelry Repairing The Orioles were handed their sec- ond defeat by the Hastings quintet, who downed them 12-3 on December 13. Charlotte was unable to break through Hastings’ strong defense. Poor ball handling by both sides kept the score down. Van Faasen, star center on Michigan State's cage team last year, was referee. Richard Kelly was the only Char- lotte grldder on the All-Conference team. He won the right tackle posi- tion. East Lansing placed ten on the first team. George Mayhew, end. and Donald Smith, quarterback, missed the first team by two points. Other Char- lotte boys on the second team are: Harlo Dewey, fullback; Robert Mun- ger, halfback, and Robert Ray. guard. Dewey and Ray are juniors and will be available next fall. Six Orange and Black gridders received honor- able mention. ----C.H.S----- Charlotte lost a practice game with the Olivet college freshmen last week. . . . Bob” Baker gets the honor of being the lightest eager; he weighs eighty-three pounds. Schroed- er Is the heaviest; he weighs one hundred eighty. . . . Harlo Dewey will receive his fifth basketball letter next year. That is a record to shoot at. . . . . Why not start handing the inter- class basketball cup out again? ----C.H.S.---- Orioles, Cardinals Fight to 13-13 Tie After knotting the score at thirteen all, the Charlotte and Eaton Rapids quintets fought through two over- time periods trying to break the count last Friday night in the local gym. The first two quarters didn't oner much in the way of excitement, but in the last two frames rough play- ing was the dominating factor. Dewey was removed from the game in the fourth quarter and Squires in the second. The critical moment came in the closing minutes of the last period. Eaton Rapids was leading twelve to eleven when Putman pushed a follow in shot through the hoop to put the Orioles in the lead. Simpson, sub- stitute for Squires, then dropped a free toss through the bucket to tie the count. Severe battling during the tw'o overtime periods brought noth- ing in the way of results. Shultz led the visitors with nine points while Don Smith collected five for the lo- cals. George Collins played a good defensive game. Tullls starred for the Oriole Midg- ets who were downed forty-five to nine by the Cardinal reserves. Scott and O’dell each collected twelve points for Eaton Rapids. Preshaw of Ithaca was the official for both games. The Conference Standings W. are L T.

Completing plans for a “clean up •week was the main topic of discus- sion at the student council meeting, a week ago last Tuesday, the eighth hour. A plan proposed by Mayor Cheney is. that each council member, when fn the high room, shall check up on any paper either on the floor or on the desks. This shall be done be- tween each class. In order to make this a success the co-operation of the student body is necessary to keep the whole bulking clean. “As soon as the snow goes off the ground and it warms up somewhat, Mr. Bottom- ley. janitor, says, “there are several things the students can do if they wish to improve the looks of our school grounds. Posters have been made by the council in announcing “clean up week and to act as a re- minder throughout the campaign. Mayor Cheney says that the council is hoping that a week of practice will be enough to make an impression for the remainder of the year. The date for the next student mixer is set for January 31. The sopho- more class will have charge of decor- ations. Plans for the honor banquet were mentioned. Committees will un- doubtedly be selected at the next meeting. Students Receive —4H Seat Assignments Each student will have a seat as- signed to him in which to sit for all assemblies the second semester. This plan has been introduced with the hope of lessening confusion in going to seats for the programs. The plan is to give each student a permanent seat. The seniors will oc- cupy the front of the room in the senior section; the juniors will oc- cupy the west half of the front sec- tion. The rear of the front two sec- tions will seat the sophomores. The back half of the high room will be assigned to the freshmen and the eighth graders; the freshmen occupy- ing the eastern part and the eighth graders, the western part. The stu- dents will be arranged alphabetically. Sponsors will be given assigned seats with their respective classes. The idea is to make the front seats seats of honor to be gained by the upper classmen. “This idea has been used in many other schools and has proved very successful. stated Miss AVinifred Wells. Roll will be taken by the sponsors. The assignments will be made in time for the first assembly in the second semester. Collins Relates Florida Jaunt Having motored farther than any other high school teacher and having spent more money during Christmas vacation. Miss Helen Collins spoke to the travel club on Thursday.

The children shoot off fireworks and the adults all get drunk. The Bok Tower.! I St. Augustine. Palm Beach. Daytona,: and Miami were the principal places visited. Jumping the waves, sight- seeing. and taking in historical places filled their four days to the brim, but they were days never to be forgotten.! Cecelia Schroeder opened the busi- ness meeting and the club has decided to have charge of an assembly to be given in the near future. President Schroeder appointed a committee com- posed of Vera Snoke. Mary Amspach-! er. and Mary Nan Rowley to arrange j the program. Henry Nielsen will be secured for the next meeting and he will show pictures of Europe. RICE TO SPEAK •AT GRADUATION Doctor Merton S.

Transportation was fur- nished by Howard Gillett, James Fink, Richard Taylor and Cheney’s truck. The party was well equipped with sleds, skiis, a toboggan, and a bob- sled, loaned by Darrel Johnson. Many spills were taken, but Mr. McCall and Joe Simek more than made up for them when the hot dogs were served. Those attending the sliding party were: William Bobier, Milton Briggs, William Cheney, Gaylord Gardner, Joe Simek, Robert Taylor, Dale Bryan, James Frace, and Mr. McCall. The Hi-Y fellows held a Christmas party for several grade school boys on Tuesday, December 17, at the high school.

The contracts for the $250.000 high ' school building were signed at a meet- ing of the board of education held Tuesday. January 28. There will be little activity until | the representatives of the Federal government in Detroit approve of the contracts. This means that the actual wrecking of the old structure will not begin for about two weeks. Mean- while. a few minor tasks are being done. The fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grades of the Hawthorne building are attending classes at the Longfellow school. The rooms formerly occu- pied by them are now being used by the high school students. This is saving the costs of renting buildings for classes. One of the unusual features is the holding of French and geometry classes in the chemistry laboratory. One day the junior orchestra met in the boys' shower room. Seniors Plan Supper; Hold Sliding Party Much activity on the part of the seniors has been noticed in the past week. First, there was the sliding party at McPeek's hill last night, and then, there are the plans for the pan- cake supper which are materializing rapidly. The next means of enhancing the $200 in the senior treasury and mak- ing the senior trip in the spring a Dossihility is to be a pancake supper. This will take place sometime in the latter part of February, according to the senior trip committee. The mem- bers have been working on the idea for some time. Different companies will furnish the material for the pan- cakes for the advertising value of it. Due to the two vacancies left in the student council by James and Philip Frace. a special election will be held tomorrow noon to elect aldermen to fill the vacancies and one new eight B alderman. Only members of the junior and eighth grade classes will I be allowed to vote. Both of the Frace brothers were active members on the council. By transferring to the Hartford. Mich- igan. schools, responsible duties were given up by the boys who were on com- mittees connected with the arrange- ments for this year’s honor banquet. The eighth graders including the SB's cast their ballots in the upper hall in the Hawthorne building. Sec- retary Cox and Alderman Bobier will be in charge. All juniors will cast their votes in the lower hall of the high school at the regular voting place. Alderman Combs and Mayor Cheney will check the votes cast there. A list of all class members will be on hand at each booth and each person’s name will be checked as the ballots are cast. The booths will be open from eleven forty-five until fifteen minutes to one. This will give ample time if all class members take their responsibility and co-operate with the council members In charge. states Principal McCall. Mayor Cheney urges that each voter should use good judgment in his selec- tion. For it is necessary that each class should be represented by its most capable members. This semester will bring more responsibility upon the council than was brought to bear last semester, due to such proposed proj- ects as the honor banquet, parent's night, and other possibilities. The newly elected aldermen will re- port at the first council meeting fol- lowing the election, which will con- vene Tuesday, February 11.

This custom originated by the death of good Bishop Valentine, who was a martyr of the early Christian church. Valentine was a noble man of sterling qualities. Always helping the poor, the needy, and sorrowing ones, he came to be known as a friend indeed and truly loved by one and all. Throughout his life he continually was doing acts of thoughtfulness and kind- ness. His motto must have been. “Think of others first.” Naturally after his death by the cruel Roman Emperor. Claudius, the people in his native country couldn't forget this man who had so affected their humble lives. The next year on the day of his death they set aside the day as a holiday in his memory and tried to do extra acts of kindness which wras St. Valentine's outstanding and daily characteristic. This holiday has come down through the ages and will probably continue to live until the end of time. It is not a very serious holiday, but so many pretty customs and old superstitions have come to be associated with its observance that we all enjoy the day. And no one. rich or poor, young or old. seems to grow too old for a valen- tine. This custom of sending paper valen- tines which is the only custom of the day we now observe, was not begun until about the seventeenth century. At first these valentines were all made and decorated by hand with some sweet verse connected with it. Now w'e go to a corner drug or dime store and purchase a comical one which will make the receiver of it double over with laughter. But no matter what shape, cost, verse or size, to us a valentine's a valentine, so let's not disappoint our dearest friends and sweethearts on this day.—R. M. M. Alway sincere and pleasant, this teacher is capable of getting work out of the students in a firm but pleasing manner. She can be very humorous at times, and can always see the funny side of others' Jokes. Her walk shows she is in no hurry, and believes in taking her time. Her main character- istic seems to lie in her genial person- ality. and her low. fine voice is al- ways full of understanding. “Captain Blood” A Cosmopolitan Production Characters Peter Blood Arabella Bishop...

Rafael Sabatini’s swashbuckling novel of a young Irish doctor who lives during the bloody times of James II in the seventeenth century is brought to life on the screen. Because of treating a rebel of the king he is condemned to slavery, nevertheless he relentlessly stands for his convictions against the king.

Angry Father—“Why were you kiss- ing my daughter in that dark corner last night?” Dubious Danny—“Now that I have seen her in the daylight, I sorta won-; der myself.”—Exchange. Watch Their Smoke— For two days I pleaded, argued, and even threatened to get down on my knees, before Ruth Martin would con- sent to be interviewed. I had figured all the time that this little girl just craved to talk, but when she finally ! settled down on the Journalism desk to uncover her past and foretell her future, she actually didn’t know what to say. Of course one obvious factor made it difficult for Ruth to talk, yet it is perfectly natural; a girl just can’t talk sense when a boy is trying to pry into her personal affairs. Being a common every day indi- vidual as most of us are, Ruth is in- clined to build air castles for the fu- ture. but even at that one can see a bit of philanthropy in her thoughts, when very shyly she mused. As a small girl I often dreamed of teach- ing school, which wouldn’t be so bad even today. Or I would see myself rushing around a hospital all decked out in a nice clean white uniform. Then, too, it was a common sight to see me pretending to he a sophisticated actress, but I think a career of that sort would be too hard for me to fol- low. However, although I’m not par- ticularly interested, I think there’s a great future in being an air hostess. This being one of the few winters not spent in Florida, our senior friend needed no encouragement to give a lengthy discussion on the land of sun- shine and fair weather. She stoutly maintains that the tropical air con- tains something mysterious and allur- ing about it. which words cannot ex- plain. “Too. there’s more going on there than in Charlotte.” School is much harder in the south, but Or- lando (that’s where Ruth lived) has an ideal school. It is just like our new one will be. There was no hell and school only lasted five hours. Each hour was devoted equally to recitation and supervised study. Also there was a school cafeteria. Ruth thinks one of these could be worked our profitably and conveniently in Charlotte high school. Everything is so pretty and there are thirty-two lakes within the city limits.” And before I could stop her. “The Martins had a ‘ducky’ apart- ment. It was a cozy little place and the reed furniture and shutters fitted In wTell with the atmosnhere and the big tropic moon.” In Florida nearly everyone swims, so naturally Ruth quickly learned to enjoy a snlash in! the surf and a warm sun bath. “But I like most to watch basketball games. she loyally remarked. I just ove to look at movie ‘mags’, too. she continued. Randolph Scott. Fran- chot Tone, and Merle Oberon are her favorite movie stars. Claudette Col- bert is nice too. because she’s so dif- ferent and cute.” Ruth admitted she did like good things to eat. She added, I can un- derstand why people crave home made ice cream, chocolate candy, angelfood cake topped with whipped cream, and even shrimp, but how in the world can they down raw oysters.” and “Oh egg nog! Uh! I used to have that so often for breakfast, and It’s terrible! j Like all girls Ruth knows lots and lots of secrets but she just won’t tell. She even knows what Ann Colizzi might get for a graduating present.! As to why girls like sleigh riding par- ties. all she could be forced to say was “I wonder------Ob it’s a lot of fun!” “I’d like to go to college in Florida or I might even be a P. O. next year so I could get some good out of the new high school, but I imagine when December came around I’d want to go to Florida.” Things Will Happen! • • ■ • One More Perfect Day is Through”—those silly seniors do get sentimental sometimes. . . .

Up to 1870 the only school building was a seminary which stood where Beach Market. Is now. But in 1870 the city of Charlotte voted 10.000 dol- lars for the construction of a public school building. In 1914 the school district voted for an enlargement of the building built In 1870. The old part was repaired and remodeled and a new section added. The building stands today as it was then constructed. In losing the old school with its fond memories, we do not weep for no one can destroy memories. We only smile and say. “Gained, not lost a friend.” It takes forty-three thousand pounds of paint to cover the dome of the cap- itol. Thirty-five men are needed three months to complete the task. ORANGE Si BLACK Page 3 MASON QUINTETTE TO MEET ORIOLES Dewey’s Knee Injury May Prevent His Starting Tomorrow's Game. Mason high school’s rather weak rage team will invade the local stronghold tomorrow night for the MTond engagement of the year between these two fives. Harold Haase and LeRoy Saelens are the sparkplugs of the Mason at- tack. Saelens. center on the blue and white team, paced his team in scor- ing In the East Lansing game which Mason lost 53-23. He scored ten points In that game, a feat which no Charlotte eager has been able to du- plicate against the Trojan five. Haase is the most experienced member of the team, having been a regular last year. Lynn Bnllen. forward, also saw service in the 1934-35 campaign. Charlotte, on the other hand, has a complete veteran five. Dewey. Smith. Collins. Barnhill. Putman, and Schroe- der having played either on the first or second teams last year. Dewey, however, may not he available for to- morrow's game. The knee Injury which kept him out of the line-up against Howell and Grand Ledge still bothers him greatly. The only games the Orioles have lost this season have been to East Lansing twice and to Hastings, once. This was to be ex- pected. however, since many of the veterans had to learn a new system of starting and running off plays. Ma- son’s cage team has been kept in the depths of the conference cellar due to the lack of good material. In the first engagement of the year between these teams. Charlotte downed Mason 20-8. for the Oriole debut into the win column. Since that game. Charlotte has held the strong Eaton Hapids five to a tie. defeated Grand I«edge and Howell, and have lost one game, that being to East Lansing. The Student’s Alibi Can't study in the fall— Gotta play football; Oriole Feather Last Friday night the Trojans and Orioles hooped up a bitter struggle on the local gym in which the visitors defeated the Orioles for the second time this year. The score was 23-15. Fenner started the scoring with a long shot and the Trojans held the lead throughout the game. At one time in the fourth quarter only four points separated the teams, but the leaders pulled farther ahead. Tansy of East Lansing, who made twelve points, gave a spectacular exhibition of one hand shooting. A poor showing from the free throw line held the local cagers down. ---C.H.S.---- The Orange and Black cagers have two more games away from home. On Tuesday they face the Vocational five at Lansing. Next Friday the Orioles meet the fast travelling Cardinal team at Eaton Rapids. The Islanders have defeated the other conference teams at least once. Their nearest thing to defeat was the tie game with Charlotte. That overtime game showed that the two teams are evenly matched and another keen struggle is in pros- oect. The game will decide the bas- ketball supremacy between the schools for this year. ----C.H.S.---- On January 21 Donald Smith led the Orange and Black to victory against the Boys Vocational school on the home floor. The Orioles built up a big lead in the first three quar- ters. but in the final period the Voca- tional rallied and ran up eleven points to threaten the local lead. The game ended 25-17 in favor of Char- lotte. Smith and Collins made eleven and seven points respectively. ----C.H.S.---- Grand Ledge was the scene of our second conference victory on January 17 when the Orioles came through with a 25-12 victory. Collins was high point man with twelve points and Shoemaker scored seven for the Ledgers. The second team gained their first victory of the year by win- ning 12-10. It’s hard to break an old habit, or what was it that made Schroeder say. Schroeder for VanAuken. when he was reporting before going in for Burke in the Eaton Rapids game? ORIOLES BOW TO HOWELL 25-26 Captain Reiner’s free shot proved to give the one point margin that won the game for Howell 26-25 in the first overtime period when the Orioles in- vaded the Highlanders’ stronghold. Charlotte only scored two points In the first quarter as Howell was get- ting warmed up. During the first half neither team showed much in the way of offensive power and the half ended with Howell still in the lead 9-6. How- ever. the coaches must have stirred them up between halves because both teams came back wdth plenty of the ole fight.” Putman found the metal hoop with his left handed back hand shots and Schmidt of Howell came through with three field goals and they entered into the final period with the score 17-15 with Howell still hold- ing the margin. The lead changed several times during the last frame and although no one was expelled from the game the personal foul total climbed steadily. When the final whistle blew the scoreboard showed the score to be knotted 25-25 After a short rest period they entered the first overtime period and Reiner, of Howell, dropped a nice charity toss through the net to put the Highland- ers ahead. With the three minute [overtime period swiftly passing Cap- tain Collins was fouled. His free shot hit the hoop, bounced back, and Charlotte’s hopes for victory went with it. The extra period ended 26-25. Charlotte was minus the ser- vices of their regular guard. Harlo Dewey, who injured a knee in a prac- tice game with Olivet. He will be kept out of several games. Reiner led the Highlanders with ten points. Schroeder and Collins netted eight and seven points, respectively, for the Orioles.

This game promisca to be a brilliant spectacle of fast and firm playing, con- sidering the fact that the game previ- ously played with Howell resulted In the close margin of 26-25 in favor of the green and white. This however came after an overtime period had been played because of the tie and Howell gained the one point by a charity toss. Howell has won six games and lost one. They gained two from East Lan- sing. two from flrand Ledge, one from Charlotte and Mason, and lost to Ea- ton Kapids by one point. It will be an even game in respect to chances of winning as Charlotte will be playing on the home floor. Dewey will be hack in the game and this is an asset. The probable lineup will be: Smith. Putman, forwards; Schroeder, center: either Dewey. Collins, or Barnhill as guards. Howell will undoubtedly have the following lineup: Fohey. Schmitt, forwards: Reiner, center: Ross.

George Washington, the first and perhaps the most prominent president of the United States, guided the Col- onists through the Revolutionary War In effort to help lay a foundation for our constitution which to this day has been so successful. Washington, noted for his great military feats as well as his famous statesmanship, has entered into our minds as our national public hero in the pages of history. Abraham Lincoln, the rail splitter from Kentucky and the thirteenth president of the United States, took upon his shoulders a task no other man had dared to do: to give freedom to the slaves and to unite the north and south. Lincoln, guided by the everlasting faith, led the people of our early country through four of the most trying years this country has ever witnessed. Let us salute these two great men for the deeds they have done for us. —R. S. M. We Know Them for Their— Betty Sparks—Laughing brown eyes. Zelma Eyer—Her “boyish bob.” Eldred Toutant—His manly physique. Harold Weaver- The way he walks. “Bob Fox—His curly hair. Ann Colizzi—Her frequent gestures. George Mayhew—His good posture.

Watch Their Smoke It was back in the Journalism room that I cornered Harold Weaver to in- terview him. This senior unfolded his secrets locked in his mind to me. Harold is most interested in tract- ors and automobiles. “All cars are pretty good, and if I were rich I'd have a Deusenbergh, btit as I'm not. a Dodge does me pretty good. he said. Our interviewed has one main ambi- tion. now. that's to be a farmer, but de- clares he is very changeable so there's nothing definite about that. yet. 'T like to ice skate and swim pretty well.” but reading doesn't appeal to this young gentleman, but he admits he gets interested in a story occa- sionally. Harold doesn’t mind going to school except in the spring and summer. He would dislike school or office work for a career for the simple reason that he doesn’t like to be con- fined. Girls are all right with Harold, but he says they’re better off in their place. However he did state the fact that he’d never had much to do with them. Good shows are enjoyed by our enthusiastic friend but too many in succession gets tiresome. “I’d rather travel around and go some place. Occasionally Clare (that’s Harold’s little” brother) and I get into a scrap, remarked Harold, looking at his knuckles with a scowl. Ice cream is his favorite dish. Being snowbound doesn’t seem so bad for a little while to him. but too much is just too much. “I hate to think what it will be like in the spring when it thaws, he groaned. Acting is enjoyed very much by this senior and as you all know he’s a prominent member of the dramatic club. However, this wouldn’t be a chosen career as he doesn’t like to be bossed. His independence means too much to him. The carnival he believes will be quite successful and hopes It wrill be the best we’ve ever had. Harold doesn’t dislike any of his subjects, but says he doesn’t believe he’ll be sorry when his senior year is over with. At least I don’t right now. he drawled. Rhythmless Rhymes— J is for Jam.

Directed by John M. Stahl and taken from the famous book of the same name by Lloyd C. Doug- las. it has the earmarks of a star pic- ture of 1936. Dr. Hudson, husband of Helen Hud- son, is drowmed because the pulmotor is used on a wealthy young playboy. Bobby Merrick. Later, after the tragedy Is past Bob sees Helen and love at the first sight ensues. How- ever Helen can not reconcile herself to loving a man responsible for the death of her husband. Another acci- dent occurs where Helen suffers a brain injury which results in her blindness. Merrick, however, intends to go abroad and learn surgery well enough to perform the operation on Helen Hudson’s eyes. All this time his name is Dr. Robert and she doesn’t know his true identity. Is Merrick able to save the life of the girl he loves? What is the Mag- nificent Obsession? These questions can only be answered by visiting the Eaton Theater next Wednesday and Thursday. March 4th and 5th. The plot, the characters and setting will be all be to your liking. It’s a picture that will obsess you because of the beautiful thought behind it. Don't miss it. With Dixie at the Charlotte, Mason Basketball Game Gee. how quick those bleachers are filling up, thought George Mayhew. ticket taker, at the game with Mason two weeks ago tomorrow night as the crowd kept pouring in. Dorothy Rann sauntered in wearing a new plaid swallow-tailed swagger coat, accompanied by that always neat looking Phyllis Canfield. Richard Manniken was noticed to have the prettiest eyes there and Frances Bry- an the prettiest hair. Jean King, our snappy yell leader, looked so dainty and peppy in her orange satin blouse and black split skirt. Brightly colored hat and scarf sets dominated the scene and Vera Snoke'H. Janice Green’s and Margaret Cox’s were the most outstanding ones. Eva Jeanne Kiplinger fervently chewed gum and her mother is so against it, you know. Or was It Mrs. Wlldern? Joyce Messimer came with a gang of girls and we personally agree that the side Jo Jane Murray was on car- ried off the loudest yelling honors. Howard Bond looked just like Joe Penner when he had his little bicker- ing with Madame Audrey Cox. as usual. Patty Higby Just sat and rolled her big expressive eyes. Harlo Dewey did some fine playing even if his knee was all bandaged up. Don Smith almost was knocked daffy when he hit his head on the gym floor. The alumni present that Dixie no- ticed were: Virginia Raidle. Esther Zanger. Harold Sloan. Louise Raidle Smith. Eleanor Toutant. Wayne Cole. Clinton Willis. Charles Garvey. Bill Tullis. Emerson Visch. Gilmour Strecks and Raymond Dowker. The Mason five were neat looking in navy blue and white, but the colors that start your pulse a beating and puts new energy in you is ye local team's flashy, keen looking orange and black suits. Rah! Rah! Snoiubcunri For the past two weeks country students, and in some places city stu- dents. have been enjoying a vacation. Oh no. It wasn't a holiday! They were Just snowbound.” Heavy winds and tons of snow settled down com- fortably In the little burgh of Char- lotte. Winds howled around the cor- ners and people shivered as they hud- dled around stoves and registers. Country students were forced to re- main with friends In town as the roads were Just large drifts of fleecy snow. And it wasn’t much fun for them you can l� et. Just ask Harold Weaver who remarked he was getting tired wearing the same shirt five days. Even Bill Bolder mentioned the fact he’d like some clean clothes. Some teachers and city students had to throw their doors open and beg the homeless personages to bunk with them. Mr. Van Vessem walked and waded through mountains of snow from Sohroeder’s Monday morning. Maybe he thought his classes couldn’t get along without him. Coach Goebel got as far as Eaton Rapids then real- ized he was stranded. Poor thing! Dick Schroeder. however, proved his bravery by hiking from home to school without the Ford. After all. Dick, you are rather tall. Lydia May Smith, after remaining in town for some time, declared her own bed was the best and Bhe has twice as many quilts as neces- sary. Why not lend us a few. Babe , and some could use the halls as a tourist camp. ORANGE Sc BLACK Page 3 ARCH RIVALS BOW TO ORIOLE CAGERS Thrilling 20-17 Victory Gives Orioles Undefeated Year Against Islanders. Coach Gobel’s fighting Orioles hand- ed the Eaton Rapids quintet its first defeat of the season by the score of 20-17. last Friday night in the Island- ers' gym. This victory gave the Orioles an undefeated year against their traditional rivals, one basket- ball game having ended in a 23-23 deadlock. Zavltz of Eaton Rapids opened the scoring with a field goal, hut baskets by Putman nnd Schroeder gave the lead to the Orioles. The quarter ended 6-4 In favor of Charlotte. Both teams were cautious and were only feeling each other out. Two field goals and a free shot gave the Islanders the lead in the second period but two baskets by Schroeder. one of them a beautiful follow in shot, gave the Orange and Black a 10-9 lead at the half. In the third quarter Collins sank a field goal and a free shot but two mid- floor goals by Rhines and Shultz made the count 13 all at the end of the third quarter. The final stanza was a thriller; the fast playing had the crowd on its feet. Smith and Collins connected on hook shots to put the Orioles four ahead. Rhines again came through with a long one. Collins sank a gift toss but Scott's field goal put the Islanders within one point of the Orioles. With only two minutes re- maining Eaton Rapids rained in shots from all parts of the floor, but the' ball kept rolling off the rim. Smith j dribbled in for a hook shot to put the( Orioles ahead 20-17 as the horn sounded. The game was featured by strong defensive playing by the Orioles and! mid-floor field goals by the Islanders. Schroeder and Collins led the Oriole scoring with six points each. Rhines also scored six for Eaton Rapids. Al- though he was unable to break loose to score. Bill Zavitz was outstanding for the Cardinals. Every man played a good defensive game for Charlotte with Harlo Dewey standing out. After outplaying the Islanders for three quarters the second team fell apart and lost 18-9. The score at the end of the third period was 6-9 in favor of Charlotte. Cheney and Tullis scored four and three points. Oriole Feather This year the Orioles go to the Boys’ Vocational field house in I ansing, in- stead of Albion, for the district bas- ketball tournament. The meet will be held on March 6 and 7. The competing teams are from the Central Six cities except Howell, which goes to Ypsi- lanti. and St. Johns. The Orioles will be benefited by the familiar floor and known rivals. St. Johns is the only one which Charlotte does not engage in cage tilts. Although Charlotte is out of the conference race, the team will be out for honors in the tourna- ment. In the last three years. Char- lotte has one tournament victory to its credit. The Orioles should he at their greatest strength by the time of the March games. —C.H.S.— The Orange and Black added three more scalps to their belts during the first two weeks of February. A 27-9 victory over the Grand Ledge five was gained on February 4. The visitors were held to one field goal. Don Smith was the high point man of the eve- ning. He chalked up eleven points for Charlotte. The Orange and Black midgets lost an 18-8 game in which a Charlotte player sank a field goal for Grand Ledge. —C.H.S.— The following Friday, the Orioles turned back an invading Mason quin- tet. The score was 23-14. It was a Smith night. Don Smith led the Orioles’ scoring and Sumner Smith scored all of the second team’s points. His team won their second victory of the year by the score of 8-5. The two victories make It two straight against Mason and Grand Ledge. —C.H.S.— It was good to see Harlo Dewey back at his guard post. The Orioles look like a different team without him. . ... It is rumored that Charlotte will have a baseball nine as well as a track team.........The penny extra at the Mason game was for the Nalsmlth fund which will send the founder of bas- ketball to the Olympic games in Ber- lin. The pennies are being gathered all over the country. —C.H.S.— Charlotte's basketball and track hopes were given a big boost when Lee Barnhill returned to school last month. He is a stellar guard in basketball, being a sure ball handler and a threat on the offense. I-ee placed second in the shot put at the conference meet last year and is a valuable man in other events. He is a crack shortstop, having received three letters in baseball. He is a brother of former coach Kenneth Barnhill. Orioles To Engage Hastings Quintette When the Orioles journey to Hast- ings tomorrow night they will be play- ; Ing their last game of the season away from home. In the first meeting this year between these teams, Hast- ings Invaded Charlotte and trimmed the local cagers 12-3.

However, the week be- ifore the disastrous tilt with Hastings, [the locals suffered a 36-11 defeat at the hands of East Lansing. The team has made great strides of improvement1 since then.

MALtOLM GOMEL Coach Malcolm Gobel. graduate of Alma college, was coach at Belding high school for five years. He grad- uated from Alma college In 1928. where he played varsity football for three years. During his time as coach at Belding he put out three champion- ship track teams, and championship football and basketball teams. His football elevens won twenty-eight of the forty-one games played. Last fall Coach Gobel led the Orioles through their best football season In many years, defeating seven of the eight opponents. His cage team won nine games, tied one. and lost four this season. Ex-Convict Reveals Folly in Criminal Life I'm thirty-eight years old and nine- teen years of my life have been spent in jails, reform schools and prisons.” stated Mr. Nelson Covy, ex-convict In a speech delivered February 21. to the students of Charlotte high school. Mr. Covy’s speech pertained to the uselessness and unhappiness gained by the life of a criminal. At the age of eight he was taken to a reform school for stealing and attempt to kill. For seven and one-half years he was off and on in that school. At the age of sixteen he was released an enemy to society. This freedom lasted until he was eighteen. He was then sent- enced to prison for two years and two months for stealing. ORIOLE CAGERS FACE ISLANDERS IN TILT TONIGHT Gobel Concedes Team 50-50 Chance To Take Class B Tournament Opener WINNER MEETS TROJANS Meeting Eaton Rapids in the opener of the Class B cage tournament, will jglve the Orioles a chance to prove ' their superiority over the conference leading Cardinals. The district high school tournament will be held to- night. Friday and Saturday at the Boys’ Vocational field house |n Lan- j sing. Cities entered in the Class B race are: Charlotte. Eaton Rapids. East Lansing. Mason, and St. Johns. Char- lotte drew to play Eaton Rapids to- night at nine, while the other teams entered, drew byes and will not play until Friday. At 9 o’clock the victor in the Cardinal-Oriole tilt will take on Cuddy Shaver's Trojans. Winners Friday will play off Saturday for the district title. Both winner and run- ner-up may enter the regional tourna- ment. Charlotte Has 5II..VI Chance In the conference engagements Mal- i colm Gobel’s team has tied Eaton Rap- ids 13-13 and copped a close one 20-17. , By comparison the Orange and Black would stand as favorites to win. Con- sideration. however, must be taken of playing on a tentative strange court. The Islanders used to a free ceiling and always good battlers will put up a good fight, which will necessitate a good night for the Orioles in order to win. Statements from the local mentor are lacking. “A fifty-fifty chance.” is all Coach Gobel will con- ;rede. If. however. Charlotte does topple Eaton Rapids, another heavy engage- ment awaits them tomorrow. In two conference tilts the Orange and Black have lost to the college city team 35-23 and 23-15. Too. the Orioles have tri- umphed over teams who have stopped East Lansing, which means that a good game on the part of the local quintet would put Charlotte In the district finals. After this second release he was married and then found a substantial job as manager of Kroger store in Cincinnati and later in Chicago but it became known he was an ex-convict and he lost his job. Since he found no job he decided to be a crook of real gangland. Finally however, the hand of the law caught him and eight years were spent In prison. This sentence was inflicted in about 1925 and In 1933 he was released. The first two and one-half years were spent In looking for a job. but none was open to an ex-criminal. In closing he brought out the fact clearly and descriptively that crime does not pay.” These last three months he has ad- dressed over 28.000 high school stu- dents. Y. M. C. A., and other civic organizations. Team Needs Support Support is a wanting factor at the tournament. Many schools have their own cheering sections. The contest site being so close to Charlotte, it would not be Impossible for several rooters to journey to Lansing to give the team a send-off. The price of ad- mission has been set at twenty-five cents for students and thirty-five cents general admission on Thursday.

To Booers-- It’s hard to admit, but it is a fact! Petty thievery goes on inside the fair walls of our C. H. S. Books, paper, and clothing are reported missing every day. and not all of these arti- cles arc lost. Students report their lunches, even money is stolen out of clothes as they hang In the halls. During the moving into the Haw- thorne building, looting went on in plain sight. This can't go on. Stealing wouldn't go on if everyone respected the rights of others. If the culprits would stop and think how they would feel if they had their belongings taken, this would not go on. As Nelson Covey, the reform worker who spoke at the high school recently said, these little things will lead to larger and more dangerous crimes. This problem needs the co-operation of everyone and this means YOU.— J. S. “A LITTLE RAY OF SUNSHINE” An announcer over the radio not long ago defined a perfect day as one in which we have done some kind deed, or gone out of our way to make some one else happy. Although he was using this for advertising pur- poses. we couldn’t help but reflect on i the truth in that definition. We hear so often of people who! travel over the entire world seeking happiness, rich people who are utter- ly miserable, people who just can’t find that “certain something they are after. These wealthy people would usually give quite a lot to be back where they were again, down in the old gas house district.” as Jiggs of the funny papers puts it. But we wonder why they wish for those good old days again? Do they actually want to live in poverty, worry about the next meal, as in the days long since gone? Most likely not. Isn’t it because in those days there was that spirit of helpfulness, of working together, and being kind to others in order to lessen their hardships that made their lives worth living? It’s not the richness or poorness of the person, but the kindness that counts. By being kind we not only make others happy, but ourselves also. For. in the words of C.eorge Elliott, “What do we live for if it is not to make life less difficult to each other.”—L. M. DON’T FORGET! There are two more names in the advertising section of this paper. When you find your name turn it In to Mr. McCall’s office. Last issue’s winners were Geraline Shaver and Floyd Mer- ritt. Have you ever noticed the discour- tesy shown the referee and players at I the basketball games. If the referee makes a decision that displeases the rooters, they make it known by loud boo’s and cat calls. If a player makes a mistake he is rewarded with horse laughs and wise cracks.

LONG AGO- Thumbing the pages of a 1926 Del- phian. . .The first student council was organized under the supervision of Supt. Ernest H. Chapelle. Merlyn I Bradley was mayor and Mable Bohn.1 secretary. In those days, ten years ago. the Orange and Black staff was elected by the council. The O. B. was then issued monthly in magazine form. It was bound in orange covers with black lettering. Former Coach Ken Barn- hill played football, basketball, track, and was captain of the baseball team in 1926. Keith King, present “Ag” instructor, was a senior in ’26. He was editor-in-chief of the Delphian, and played on the senior interclass basket- ball team, champions that year. The interclass champs had their picture published then. Present teachers who taught then are Winifred Wells. Mrs. Marena Klp- linger. Alleen Combs, and Earl Mead. Teachers that many of our seniors and juniors can remember were Nora Mitchell. Anne Yates, and Ernest H. Chapelle. Keith King’s senior biography read: Name. K. King; Nickname. “King”; Hobby, freshman girls; Cherished possession, long pants; Nearest Asso- ciate. D.

But, say, Richard, what are you going to do next year?” I inquired, wondering how I could have forgot- ten such an important matter. Col- lege. of course, saaay. what do you think I am anyway? He thinks it’ll probably be Michigan State. He just had to tell me a few miscel- laneous things that you should know. The place for women Is in the home; Napoleon was a good guy: mystery novels are the best ever; and everyone should read poetry. Well, what do you think of that?

Good Bye Schoolhouse Last Monday as I trudged toward the little red schoolhouse a faint pounding came to my ears, with each step it became louder and louder, un- til it developed Into a thunderous slow bang. Bricks flew in every direction, as the boys slung their mallets. Ah a sight for sore eyes. Am I dreaming? My greatest ambition has come true—to hear the harmonious sound of creaking timber, ripped from the floor which has served the pio- neers of our fair city for many years. Coming up the north hall I noticed the front hall partition off with a sound proof wall—lest it disturb the classes. Morning passed and was I glad to get out of that barrage of hammering even though it was music to my ears I am sure many moons will pass be- fore we forget that bang-up M n- day. ORANGE BLACK Page 3 HOWELL BOWS IN LAST CAGE GAME Smith, Schroeder and Collins Pace Oriole Attack In 27-17 Rout Because it played one of the finest games of the year, both offensively and defensively, the Charlotte quintet handed Howell a humiliating 27-17 defeat Friday night, to drop the High- landers into a tie with East Lansing for the conference title. The victory also moved the Orioles Into a tie for second place with the Eaton Rapids five. Charlotte's teamwork was at its fin- est during this game. The orange and black clad cagers passed the ball, and worked together in such a manner as to leave little doubt as to the out- come of the game even as early as the second period. There was some reason for Howell's defeat, however. The Highlanders w’ere bothered some- what by the low ceiling in the local gym. and Dick Reiner, lanky Howell center, failed to click on his hook shots until late in the game. Don Smith and Dick Schroeder closed their basketball careers before the home crowd by scoring fifteen points between them. Smith garnered eight, while Schroeder swished the meshes four times, tallying three field goals and a gift toss for seven points. Collins and Barnhill connected for eight and four points respectively, while Dewey and Putman were held scoreless. Dewey, however, played a fine defensive game for the Orioles. Charlotte outscored the Highland- ers in every period except the last when each team collected seven points. Howell was held pointless in the opening chapter. Charlotte scored thirteen field goals and a charity toss, while the Highlanders w’ere scoring seven two-pointers and three free throw’s. Reiner started scoring late in the j game and scored six points. Ross connected for four. Spencer three, and Prasil and Fohey two each. The line-ups were: HOWELL CHARLOTTE Oriole Feathers With only two minutes left to play, the Orioles reached down in the bag and pulled out another victory when they nosed out Hastings 21-19. The Blue and Gold quintet led the local lads all the way until the clos- ing minutes of play when Smith and Collins furnished the points neces- sary to win. Smith collected nine points for the evening and Collins netted seven. Gladstone, flashy Hustings forward, rang up eleven of nineteen points made by his team. The Charlotte boys held Gladstone to one lone tally in the last half. Long passing and racing from one end of the floor to the other helped stir up the fans, who were on their feet during most of the last frame. —C.H.S.— Charlotte high school now has some- thing to boast of. The World's Cham- pion Detroit Tigers boast that both Marvin Owen and Schoolboy Rowe can hold seven baseballs in one hand. Lee Barnhill, who showed up well in the Orioles' last victory, can hold a basketball in either hand, inverted. It sounds easy: Just try it sometime. —C.H.S.— “Snowball Braden's scoring spree last Friday night against the fresh- men. gave him the lead in individual scoring honors for boys’ interclass basketball. Braden piled up twenty- five points as the seniors drubbed the frosh 63-13. This gives him a total of eighty-five points in six games. Ernie” Schimmel. also a senior, is second with sixty-seven. Eddie” Myers, a Junior, has chalked up sixty- one points for third place. —C.H.S.— “Jake VanVessem. assistant bas- ketball coach, has developed a fight- ing. hard playing second team. Char- lotte should have another good team when the Midgets grow up. They are sophomores and freshmen now. Jake’s own basketball experience in- cludes both high school and college playing. —C.H.S.— Kenneth Barnhill, former athlete and coach of Charlotte, won first place in shot put at the state A. A.

As yet no date has been set for the boxing and wrestling tourna- ment. —C.H.S — Former coach Ike Van Weelden was at the game last Friday night. —C.H.S.— Kenneth Jones, a senior, has been a reserve on the varsity cage team for two years. l ast fall his great im- provement from the previous year won him a regular tackle position on the football team. Ken received a base- ball letter last spring for playing right field. This year he will be out for both baseball and track. —C.H.S.— The liveliest Central Six conference race in years wasn't settled until last Friday when East Lansing beat Eaton Rapids and Charlotte upset Howell. The standings find Howell sharing the championship with the perennial champions. East Lansing, and Charlotte and Eaton Rapids close behind in a tie for second place. That tie game that the Orioles and Car- dinals fought keeps one of the teams out of a share of the title. A Howell or Eaton Rapids victory last Friday would have given them first place. The final standings are: Howell East Lansing Charlotte Eaton Rapids Mason Grand Ledge Indies. HIS Opens in March As soon as the basketball equipment has been stored away. Coach Malcolm Gobel will bring forth his first cinder squad for Charlotte high. Bill Cheney and Milton Briggs will be the only lettermen lost to the squad. The trackmen returning are: Don Smith. Lee Barnhill, and Bob Mun- ger. captain of last year’s team. Don Smith runs the 100 and 220 yard dashes, pole vaults, runs in the relay, and can do his bit in finding his way over the sticks. Lee Barn- hill throws the shot and says he'll throw it 41 feet this year. His best mark last year was 40 feet 6 inches. Lee also runs the half mile.

Travelers See Moving Pictures of Mexico Mrs. Ralph Cowan Shows, Explains Life In Mexican Villages Mrs. Ralph Cowan, who with her family took a trip through Mexico this winter, gave a very interesting moving picture talk on the subject, at the last Travel club meeting. Mrs. Cowan passed among the mem- bers brightly woven baskets and blankets, made by Indians. Small, dolls with costumes such as Mexicans' wear to parties were shown. When stopping for gas the travelers discov- ered no pumps were available but bought gas by having it poured from cans through funnels. The mountains in Mexico are very high. Mrs. Cowan said. We were warned to eat nothing we couldn't peel or cook. Beggers wandering about is a typical scene of Mexico. The Mexican women wash their clothes In creeks and rub them on stones, then hang them on cactus branches to dry. Everything Is carried on the people's heads. Because butcher shops have no system of ventilating meat must be killed and eaten the same day. The speaker mentioned that before entering Mexico they were given shots and vaccinated for typhoid fever. Group to Spend Bay on Campus The Principle of the Cross and Economic Reconstruction will be the subject of an address to be given In Ann Arbor by Doctor Toyohlko Ka- gawa. Students of Mrs. Marena Kip- llnger’s Bible study class will journey to the lecture on March 27. Doctor Kagawa Is being brought to Ann Arbor by the Loud Lectureship of the Wesleyan Guild Corporation and the University of Michigan Com- mittee on Religious Education. Dur-j ing his tour of the United States he is stopping in only three Michigan c ities. This Japanese citizen has suffered many hardships because of ridicule and ill health. Despite these handi- caps. he is one of the greatest Chris- tian leaders in the world today. He is the author of the co-operative move- ment being adopted in Japan at pres- ent. Mrs. Kiplinger states that It is in- deed a privilege to be given the oppor- tunity to hear the great Kagawa and all who hear him will receive Instruc- tion and inspiration. During the day the group will tour the campus of the University of Mich- igan and see other points of interest in Ann Arbor.

Charlotte either toppled or broke even in each of the two games played with opponents. In non-conference tilts the Orioles won three games and lost two. Smith again led his teammates in total points scored with 95 tallies. Col- lins ran second at 79. With the ex- ception of Dewey, who sustained mid- season injuries, all of the regulars participated in fifteen games compil- ing 302 points to their opponents’ 261. These figures show that the team has played well both on defense and of- fensive. The style of play, used by Coach Malcolm Gobel’s team this year has afforded a very spectacular and ef- fective game. Not only has the zone type of defense held opposition to low’ scoring on the local court, but has also proved a deciding factor In games won abroad. By using a waiting of- fense. which tends to draw an over anxious defense away from the hoop zone, the Orioles put Into action sev- eral tricky capitalizing plays. This method of playing has not been used by a home quintet for some years. Reserves Show Fight Jacob Van Vessem’s coaching of the B team brought forth a determined fighting machine. Not only did It display good basketball in the prelim- inaries. but also developed fellows who will be useful in next year’s campaign. In ten games played Van’s team has chalked up two victories against eight defeats. The Reserve positions were limited to those under their junior year, and although outweighed and on the short end in team heighth. the midgets have fared as well as other second string cagers in past years.

A great variety of speakers have given valuable time for the members' entertainment. Any- one who chooses to attend each of these meetings cannot help getting an inval- uable knowledge of what our country is like. In some rare instances we even have speakers who have travelled on other continents. Is it too much for us to give a couple hours every two weeks to such a worthy cause, when we consider that we will be much wiser and more edu- cated for so doing? fI Can Lick Any Pooch’ Lindberghs Relate Trip To Orient North to the Orient. a travel nar- rative. describes the flight of the Lind- berghs to the Orient, in the summer of 1931. by the Oreat Circle route. Anne Morrow Lindbergh writes in an informal and clear manner. The book is so vivid that the reader feels that he has accompanied the famous couple on their vacation. The little Inci- dents greatly increase the interest of the volume The maps, drawn by Charles A. Lindbergh, make following the couple much easier. “North to the Orient is a best seller and a book that no true American can afford to miss. Seten League Boots “I am the best fighter and the fiercest dog in the world. All dogs run when they see me pursuing them. If I am not out of doors, my loud warnings drive them away. Although I am only a Boston bull terrior and weigh twenty pounds. I am filled with tenacity. The size of an intruder does not bother me. I can make any of them flee. Twice when I was outside, a puppy has come into my yard. I growled at him and chased him home. The idea of that mere snip of a pup step- ping in my domain. I guess I showed him a lesson that he will never for- get. When I am inside, I shake my pil- low and bark at every vagrant. This must be very effective for they leave before long. “Cats annoy me. The slinking things! They think they can walk over my property, but I tell them. I order them off the premises and they never argue because they can’t get in the house and tell me anything. The other night I was so tired that I never heard the family come home. They thought it was terrible that I should act so. They are so un- grateful. They never seem to realize that barking at dogs and cats, tires me all out. I am the greatest fighter and the best watch dog in the world for no dog ever disputes my orders and I have never had to force others to obey me. From my watch post in the bay window. I rule my yard and do I bark at those who dare to step inside of it.” Richard Haliburton has published another of his fascinating books. This one has an enchanting title. Seven League Boots. It is written in his descriptive, picturesque style. It is delightful to all friends of the author, but it is a splendid chance to become familiar with this unusual writer. The Charlotte public library has a copy of Seven League Boots” by Rich- ard Haliburton. Discovery Commander Richard E. Byrd needs no introduction to the reading public. His previous books have made thous- ands of friends. Discovery.” the lat- est in a series of books on explora- tion. gives an account of the hard- ships. hazards. Joys, and triumphs of the second Byrd Antarctic expedition. Those who enjoy adventures will not miss this volume. It is especially suit- able for a book report.

SPRING FEVER-- One of the most dreaded diseases known to educational science is sweep- ing Dear old C. H. S.” Originating in the northeast corner of the high room the disease spread even faster than the dust storms. The symptoms of this curious dis- ease are loss of will power, sleepiness, and failure of the brain to function. No cure is yet known for this strange malady and once one is strick- en it will return year after year with the coming of spring. Watch Their Smoke Aw. come on, Joe—please. Joe— won’t you please do me a favor, Joe? No. folks, this is not a girl propos- ing to Joe Stmek. instead it is just merely an inquiring reporter trying to get an interview. Girls, if you want to know a really bashful fellow, then Joe Simek is your man. For the greater part of an hour I followed him up stairs, down stairs, in one room, and out another one. And behold! at last I cornered him In the gymnasium and he finally con- sented to unvail his life. I won the first long argument and Joe finally admitted that he was eighteen years young, with his birthday falling on April 11. After this manly statement, he completely broke down and this is the lingo he handed me. Sports, par- | ticularly baseball, is my greatest past- 'time in life. 1 am not a ball player myself, but I think it is a great sport. Really, folks. I though Joe would actually Jump on my neck when I asked him about girls. Girls. he answers, “have their place, but their place is not with me. I could see by this time that Joe was getting kinda hot under the col- lar. so I quickly switched to another subject and found out that he would like to go to college. Upon inquiring what college he would like to attend, he quickly replied. Why. I’m not particular just so I can go. I will not mention here that Joe tied for the position of salutatorian of C. H. S. because he asked me not to say anything about it. And of couse I could never deceive a pal like Joe. As I was just getting warmed up and | preparing to ask Joe more questions, he suddenly exploded and told me to; get out of his sight. And right here people, is where I scramed. as I want- ed to live long enough to write this ; story. Now don't get the idea that Joe is hard natured. because he isn’t. But boy. oh boy. how he hates to be interviewed. If you don’t believe it. try it some time and see how you come out. Have You One? Fads, fashions, and fancies!

ORANGE Sc BLACK I’W 3 ISLANDERS DEFEAT CHARLOTTE CAGERS Zavits l eads Eaton Rapids Five With Twelve Points; Smith Nets Ten Tallies Tlx Eaton Rapida Cardinals handed the local eager� a stinging 24 to 20 defeat at the Boys’ Vocational Field House in I anslng March 5. Bill Zavitz started the scoring for the Red and Grey, chalking up six points in the first period, Schroeder netting a one tally for the Orioles. In the second period the Orange and Black machine then got under way and piled up eleven points to their op- ponents eight and as the second frame ended the score remained. 11 to 13 In favor of the Islanders The third quarter held little ex- citement. Collins for the locals net- ting one field goal to the Cardinals’ two. The fourth and last frame was filled with plenly of zip as Collins connect- ed with a hook shot and two charity tosses to shove the Orioles ahead 19 to 18. Zavits then came back with a fancy back hand toss from underneath the basket to put the Islanders again in the lead. Smith followed with a foul shot to tie the score at 20 all. The Rod and Grey then sank two more buckets which proved to be enough to claim the bacon at 24 to 20 as the horn sounded. Collins played an outstanding game for the Orioles while Zavits proved to be the mechanism of the Cardinal machine. The line up was as follows. K. R. H. S. C. H. S.

Senior Cagers Clinch Trophy For the second time the present senior class has won the interclass basketball trophy which hangs in the lower hall above the trophy case. This was made possible when the seniors drubbed the freshmen last Thursday and the sophomores upset the Juniors. The sophomores ran up a 16-14 lead in the first half when the juniors were short handed, but the juniors came back strong and narrowed the gap to one point. Eddie Myers, high scoring Junior forward, had a chance to tie up the game but failed to come through, so the sophs were awarded a 23-21 victory. Fullerton led the tenth graders with ten points and Myers was close behind with nine. The seniors romped over the lowly freshmen to the tune of 56-16. The seniors were slow in getting started but they soon left the lower classmen in the dust. Frank Braden rang up twenty-six points and George Mayhew totaled sixteen points. Bob Cove top- ped the freshmen with five tallies. Braden's scoring spurt boosted his total to 118 for the season. Ernie Schimmel and Eddie Myers have 87 and 79 points, respectively. Only one more round remains be- fore the schedule will be completed.

Representatives of mid-western high schools will attend the conference on the Chicago and Evanston campuses of Northwestern university. This is the fourth year that delegates from high schools have met at Northwest- ern. During the two conferences which Charlotte students have attended, representatives have placed in the feature writing contests. Two years ago. Eleanor Toutant took third posi- tion; last year Harwood Smith, sec- ond. The group probably will go to Chi- cago on April 30 and will return on May 3. During the conference, lec- tures on different phases of journal- ism will be given. Each group will have the opportunity to enter group and individual contests.

Marshall and Mason are sending groups here; tomorrow Charlotte stu- dents will journey to Marshall to pre- sent a program and later they will give one at Mason. High school is the training ground of all students. Since meeting and appearing before strange people is necessary in later life, these perform- ances provide suitable experience. Moreover, the quality of the regular assembly programs is steadily im- proved. The student bodies of both schools can profit by the good and bad points of the others. A greater variety of talent is also obtained. The ex- change of programs fosters a friendly spirit that is different from the friend- ly rivalry of the athletic contests. There are several disadvantages, too. Students who go to other schools miss classes, but generally only the more qualified in scholastic endeavour are permitted to leave. Some parents object to their students driving to other towns. This is a question that rests on the individual. Considering the merits and the dis- advantages. the exchange assemblies are advantageous to the student bodies of Charlotte and other high schools. “Modern Times” United Artists Cast A Tramp.......................Charles Chaplin A Gamin .....................Paulette Goddard A Cafe Proprietor....Henry Bergman A Mechanic...........Chester Conklin The Burglars.....Stanley Sandford Hank Mann Louis Xathenx President of a Steel Corporation ........Allen Garicia The first Chaplin film in four years proves to be a big success and one of the usual laugh producing and crowd- drawing pictures as before. Charlie as a factory worker in this hectic machine age finds enough to become tangled up in among the bolts and screws of the machinery until he practically becomes a nervous wreck. His many attempts to be put into jail because he desires to get away from the terrors of the world are too amusing. You'll enjoy with him the success he gains as a singing waiter with the Gamin who has become his insepar- able partner. Both Chaplin and God- dard play up their parts exceedingly well. Through all the rollicking adven- tures. some of which have a pathetic side, you'll be on tip-toe for every scene. Don't miss the biggest Charlie Chaplin hit of all time. MODERN TIMES”, at the Eaton Theatre Wed- nesday and Thursday. April 8 and 9. Has The Student Council Been Asleep? Do you think the council has been sleeping, or is it asleep now? Per- haps you had better think twice be- fore you answer. Yes . Perhaps you haven't been hearing much about It, but records of meetings are posted on the bulletin board. The council works qultely, but accomplishes a great deal during the school year. Is there a question in your mind what they have done so far th.s year? Committees were chosen to start the year off right, and to take care of various little duties around school. The council had charge of the Hal- lowe'en party at the school. A clean- up week was sponsored. At present committees are working on plans for' the honor banquet which will be held May 29. These are only a few of the activities that the council has charge of.

For, you'll all agree, she is a very unusual young lady, and so friendly and likable. Perhaps her graeiousne8s is inherited from those West Virginian ancestors of her's.

But one day while she was speculating on the beauty of the tranquil waters of the Gulf, a little mosquito came along and bit her. Our heroine promptly contracted malaria fever and almost died. It’s lucky she didn’t, for just think of how lonesome poor Willie would be. The object of my inquiries has a very good sense of humor: so. realizing this, I asked about her favorite joke. Her eyes promptly began to twinkle and she told me how she was praying one night so fervently and, Dear Lord.” says she. I do not ask any- thing for myself, but please send mother a son-in-law. Our secretary’s ambition is to study Liberal Arts, in other words, how to understand people. She has a very profound interest in the human race.

An atmos- phere of gloom has come over the entire surroundings since the beauti-] ful piece of masonry has become only a memory. That old arch has served us faithfully many years and it seems a shame that it couldn't have been put up in some place as a memorial to the old building. A report went around that the arch would be saved, but nothing was done about it. Anyway, we do mourn the loss of the beautiful structure. Poach Gobel attended the Mid-west Physical Ed meet at Grand Rapids March 20 and 21. Alsover! But An old Weaver told me the follow- ing story, many, many years ago. in fact, it was a short time before the saying. Aulls well that enas well, came into being. “The Baker drove beside the Brooks in his little Austin, while his Mate followed in a Burn-ford with her Young daughter Anderson (and r son). While it was still Day they i pitched camp beside a little Cove which was a Branch of the See. Their camp was hidden from sight, and it was here that tney saw a gypsy, who was a Taylor, sew a patch on the King's trousers because of his great Love , for his Master. (Need It be said that the King was re-Kline-ing on tae Moist and Dewey earth.) Suddenly j the sharp needle slipped and pricked the Taylor's finger until the Blood | ran. and caused him great Paine. They | consoled him by telling him Riddles ! about a Shaul. a Martin, and a Rowe- ! boat, while an old crone brewed a | potent liquid made of u Locke of goat's hair, a Page from a book of Scott, the Root of a Poppe, a Reed, and a fea- ther from a Robin's breast. It was boiled over a wood fire. The King had said, You Mayhew some w'ood from the nearLy forest to build fires. Near the toresi, in the shady Spotts, jin a Dell, a Fox, a Drake, and a Hart dwelt together near a Bush. The I winter previous, while It was Snow- i ing, a Wellman. Hale and hearty, was Moon-struck while he was walking near the spot and was no longer Wright in the head. The next day a Gardner driving with his friend, a Butler, in his boss’s Packard, heard the Baas of sheep, and noticed an Archer shooting Golden arrows at various Barnes, killing many animals. Halt.” he shouted. Orr I’ll shoot my Beebe gun at you. Maybe you don’t know it, but I’m Bring ’em back a live Keith, who never fails to get his man.” The Archer failed to stop so the Gardner killed him and he was buried beneath a clump of Spice- Kane, a rare type of Flower. That was the end of the old man s story, and before I close, may I ask this: Wilmore people Bring me their Bond and Stock-well I’ll have to be leaving, and until next time, lots of Lucke, and its Alsover but the shout- ing.” A Freshie is green on the surface.

If we don’t, they say we are too serious. If wre clip things from other papers, we are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don’t we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick close to the Job all day. we ought to be out hunt- ing news. If we do get out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job.

GOBEL SCHEDULES INTERCLASS MEET Spring Intramural Sports Program To Begin With 1 rack Meet in April For the first time in three years, Charlotte’s intramural sports program will include a track meet. Any stu- dent is eligible to compete, provided he is a bona fide high school student, and not an eighth grader. Each en- trant can compete in not more than i four events. Tomorrow is the last day In which entrants can register. The meet will be held at the fair grounds on Tuesday. April 14. This plan is being put into efTe t in order that Coach Gobel can get an insight on the track material for the inter- scholastic meets which will be held later in the season. Many Stars to Compete Twelve eventa will comprise the meet. They are: the hundred, two- twenty. and four-forty yard dashes; the half and mile runs; the 120 ard high hurdles, and the 200 yard low hurdles; the pole vault, shotput, high Jump, broad jump, and the half mile relay. Because any regular student can compete, such stars as Smith, Dewey. Munger. the Cheney brothers. Bill and Gail; Briggs. Mayhew. Hout-h. Putman. Dewey. Reefman. and Tou- tant will be competing. The senior class takes first place In the number of entrants, having twelve persons entered, at least one in each event, while the freshmen have the fewest en- trants, five in number. Interest is running high in the meet, and with twenty-nine students having entered by Friday of last week, it ap- j pears that this pr rgrain cannot help but be a success. Seniors � re Favored First place in the meet will count five points; second will count three; third, two; and fourth nlace will count but one point. The class receiving the greatest number of points will win the meet, and with such veterans as Smith. Munger. Briggs. Bill Cheney, and Mayhew, the senior class appears to be odds on favorites to take the title. When asked if he would invite out for track any persons wrho show promise of being a help to the squad. Coach Gobel answered. No. I won’t Invite them out. I'll insist on it.

J. Wight, guest speaker at the travel club Thursday night. The village, dedicated in 1929, was created by Henry Ford, who was a very close friend of Mr. Edison, and wished to honor his memory. He also wished to establish a place where people who are interested in early American life can go and see how the Americans lived 100 years ago. The village covers 200 acres and is divided into two parts, the Edison Museum and the Institute. The museum is the largest in the world, and has a floor of Teak wood from India. This floor never has to be polished or fin- ished and is one of the most beautiful in the world. The cornerstone of the building, laid in 192S, contains the dale. Edison's name and footprints, and the spade of Luther Burbank. Everything is spotlessly clean, and even the old antiques contain not a speck of dust. The finest electrical exhibit to be found anywhere in the world, and an agricultural exhibit consisting of all the implements used from the early beginnings, are a part of the village. Typical early American millinery shops, barber shops, shoe shops, and tintype shops are all reproduced ex- actly as they were in the early days. Every type of home, from the log house to the frame house is repre- sented. President Cecelia Schroeder appoint- ed a committee of three. Martha Peters. Jean Wollpert. and Beth Gil- lette to make arrangements for the annual travel club trip. Joe Simek has been training for the mile in track for several weeks and shows that he has the makings of a real athlete. COMPLIMENTS OF DRS. SEVENER SEVENER Charlotte's Speedy Writers Jour- neyed to Lansing Monday, March 23, to inspect the Wolverine Insurance Company. Three groups, of twelve each, were taken on a tour around the office. A punch accounting system, sealing ma- chine. Sunstrand bookkeeping machine, comptometer, addressograph. and printing press were among the many machines used by this company. A punch accounting machine has a code by means of which all the neces- sary information can be recorded on one card. It will sort the cards at the rate of 400 per minute according to the particular data required. To illustrate the printing press, special blotters inscribed with The Charlotte High School. March 23, 1936 ’ were printed. Another interest- ing office appliance was the Edison dictophone. The machine used for shaving the record so they can be used more than once was also demon- strated. In conclusion Mr. Robert K. Orr, president of the company, gave a short talk on business letter writing. Ice cream and cake were served as a special treat. Remarked one of the members. It was one of the most en- joyable and worthwhile trips we've ever witnessed.

This was the first meet of the season. Munger and Smith scored 16% points apiece, each taking three firsts and being a part of the winning relay team. The 100 and 220 yard dashes were run in rather fast time, consider- ing the condition of the track. High lights of the meet were the in- dividual performances of Smith and Munger. the driving finish by Simek in the mile, the last chance effort of Barnhill in the shotput. who passed Henry’s mark of 40 ft. 11 in. by the narrow margin of one inch, and the performance of the relay team. Don Roush, who had been laid up with a cold for a week, entered only one event, finishing second. A light rain fell during the meet, ruining the condition of the track, and spoiling the footing for the field events. Smith's time in the 220 yard low hurdles is unofficial, due to an error in timing. Pollett was the outstanding perform- er for Eaton Rapids, taking six points. First place was credited with five points, second garnered three, while the third place man had to be content with one. The results w’ere: 100 vard dash—Munger (CHS). Chenev (CHS), Porter (ERHS).

EXCHANGES ORICIE FEATHERS Willie Reefman. one of our hitherto commonplace sophomores, sprang into prominence last Tuesday night by taking the mile and half mile distance runs for ten points. —C.H.S.— Joe Simek is also good material for the distance runs and came in second against Reefman Tuesday night. Joe confided that he has been practicing all spring; his prime ambition being a major C. —C.H.S.— ’ Ken Jones, star C. H. S. athlete, will try for his fourth major C” this spring by patrolling the outer gardens j on the baseball nine. —C.H.S.— Did you ever try jumping eighteen feet five inches? That's what Ray- mond Putman did In practice the other night. •’Put also gives the signals behind the plate on the nine. —C.H.S.— A newcomer to the school reported for track this spring and shows good form in clearing the high sticks. Al- though Don Roush was kept out of the interclass meet by illness he will be right back in there this week get- ting in shape to show up his former i schoolmates when we meet Ionia. —C.H.S.— A portion of this space must be i turned over to our old standby, Don Smith. Don has 14 major C’s and is ! out to win the other two that w’lll give him the largest number of let- ters ever to be won in C. H. S. Play- ing quarter back on the football team, forward on the basketball team, pitch- er on the nine and clearing high and low hurdles in track. Smith shines equally at each position. Our other veteran. Harlo Dewey, re- ported for baseball last Monday night and promises to look as good as he did last season. His pitching record last year stands out as he struck out fourteen men in one game. Dewey has ten letters to run a close second to Smith. —C.H.S.— Bob Munger made the sod fly Tues- day night when he took first place in fhe hundred yard dash, beating Smith and Cheney in doing so. Bob also is going out for baseball. —C.H.S.— Gail Cheney may help C. H. S. to put out another championship track team this year by running the dashes. —C.H.S.— In case any of you are anxious Jim Burke hasn’t plowed any gardens yet but is for hire any time. —C.H.S.— Who is that fellow with the orange sweater on over there? Why that’s Briggs. Yes. Briggs holds down the manager and trainer positions this year and for rub downs he guarantees to cure or kill.” —C.H.S.— Eldred Toutant may tie Smith's record for getting four letters when still a freshman. Toutant will try for catcher on the nine this year and isn’t so slow when it comes to the dashes. —C.H.S.— C. H. S. will lose many star athletes by graduation this year. Smith. Jones. Schroeder. Munger. Briggs. Harsh- man. Gillette. Mayhew are among those who have played or will play their last game for Charlotte this year. Collins to Give Tests for Tennis Miss Helen Collins announced Tues- day that a series of accuracy and ppeed tests would be given soon to de- cide who should occupy the positions on the girls’ tennis team.

About thirty boys reported for this sport. The practice for the past week has been limited to half the regular time due to the track team, the first half of the time is spent in baseball prac- tice and the latter is spent in track. The diamond is gradually regain- ing its fair form of last year. Much time is being spent on batting prac tice which the Orioles will depend upon to give them the edge on their traditional rivals Eaton Rapids.

DAVIDS Sergeant Harry Snyder, of the I n- 8ing city police, spoke before the Hi-Y club April 14. his subject being on his experience with delinquent boys and girls. He stated that the problems began coming at the age of eight and they could not be committed to the Boys Vocational school until twelve. The troubles are mainly petty thieving “The main cause of such small rol beries by children is that they are en- couraged by the public too much.” ht asserted. Boys between the ages of 17 and 2 are committed to Ionia reformatory and after twenty-one they go to Jack- son or Marquette depending on the nature of the crime. The worst crim- inals are sent to Marquette. He had with him records of several boys whom he had kept track of dur- ing their boyhood, some ending up in prison and others making good in their life today. Sergeant Snyder has charge of all the safety patrol work with the chil- dren in Lansing, and consequently Is in intimate contact with boy and girl delinquents.

Charlotte District High Founded in Year School Constructed on Present Site About For Educational Purposes Since Returning to the site from which he graduated sixty-two years ago, 1 FTank King today is witness to the 1 O C Q beginning of a new era in the devel- J[ opment of Charlotte high school. Mr. King, seventy-eight years old. lifelong resident of Eaton county, is the only living member of the first Charlotte high school graduating class which numbered five scholars in the year 1874. It was just a week ago today that Mr. King recalled for me several in- teresting incidents linked to that first high school building Charlotte ever had. “It was a two story frame build- ing.” he informed me, “there were stairways on the north and south sides. I guess you’re using the south stairw'ay now. Upstairs in the west room the high school was located, in the east room, the grammar school. Below on the ground floor, the first intermediate school was on the east and the second intermediate on the (Continued on page 6. col. 3) 1870 Used Seventy-five years ago in the year 1859, the Charlotte school district took over Printer Johnson's old academy at the corner of Cochran avenue and Seminary street, and started the first Charlotte high school. The dis- trict placed Professor Ingham, who had managed the old institution, in charge as superintendent. Contrary to conditions today, oil lamps were used for lighting purposes. There was no heating system whatever, and often school was dismissed when the weather became too cold. Basketball seemed to be the only recreation available for the scholars. $10,000 School Bond Issue On Monday, September 10, 1866, citizens of Charlotte decided to float a bond issue of flO.OOO for the purpose of erecting a new school building. No known action was taken until February 7, 1869, when a special meet- (Continued, page 4, col. 2) ORANGE BLACK (Newspaper THE ORANGE AND BLACK Published Bi-weekly by the Journalism Classes of Charlotte High School.

The school project offered a chance to better the com- munity and the citizens overwhelm- ingly took the responsibility of a com- munity undertaking. After a careful study of the offer of, the Public Works Administration to aid in a school building had proven its merits, the Board of Education placed the matter before the voters in January. By an extremely large ma- jority they decided to accept the offer of the P. W. A. Before the election the members of the Board of Education spent hours of careful study on the plan. Since then they have spared neither time or effort in securing the best possible school plant for Charlotte. This group of public spirited men who serve for the good of the community and not for personal reward have set an extraordinary record of service to the community that would make any city proud to claim them. In voting for the school building, the townspeople laid aside all personal interests and shouldered the responsi- bility of the erection of a modern school building. The benefits to the community and the advantages to the students through an adequate, well planned, and properly equipped build- ing were of greater importance than any selfish motives. This unselfishness, civic pride, and interest in the future citizens are the qualities that have made Charlotte and the nation great. In Step With Progress The age in which we are living is very definitely one of transformation and change. Even the most adverse of critics and confirmed of pessimists will concede us that. We are moving forward, beyond a doubt. But the question is. “Are we moving in the right direction?” The industrial world of the past thirty years has witnessed an almost miraculous development. Likewise, the world of recreation has long since broken out of its old boundaries. But, have we been consistent? Have edu- cational facilities and Improvements kept apace with their more materialis- tic neighbors? This is the real test. | I believe we have the answer right here in our own city of Charlotte. We, not only the students, but the grown-ups are living In one of the epochal years of our lives. We are progressing in the right direction. We are building a new schoolhouse. and by so doing, contributing not a small part to an era of real progress! Why This Issue? We. the journalism class of 1936. feel that it is fitting and appropriate that this special edition be published for the dedication of the cornerstone of May 3. at 3 o'clock. The paper, namely, the Orange and Black, has played a large part in the life and activities of the old high school and we hope it always continues to. It is published bi-monthly and Harlan McCall is the faithful advisor who is always ready to lend a willing hand and help us over the rough parts. We have tried to include everything of interest to our elders, in this special issue. Our parents may re- member way back when the present school was just an academy and grad- ually how the students increased and it became necessary for a larger buid- ing. While we were in the old building we strove to better the school and those to follow us in the new building. We will try and make Charlotte high school one of the best in the state. Since the time the old Johnson academy was taken over in 1859 by the Charlotte school district, twelve superintendents have been at the head of the Charlotte schools. Ing- ham, Flitcraft, Latham. Tower. Mary King. M. Louise Jones, Hammond. Miller. Parmelee, Carrick, Chapelle, and Dykhouse have the superinten- dents of schools in their respective order. The first commencement was held in 1874. Maytag -Philco JOHNSON’S Congratulations, Charlotte! Your Fine New School Building was the one improvement needed to make Charlotte the Finest City in Michigan. FRED A. RICHEY CO. Public Opinion... On approaching several teachers, students, and business men of Char- lotte concerning the new school build- ing. I found a unanimous feeling of appreciation and gratitude. Students of Charlotte high school: Edith Wonser: I think I was born two or three years too soon because we seniors can't enjoy the new school. Eldred Toutant: I’m more inter- ested in the gym than anything else. It's going to be nice.” Alice Jo Oldt: “We’re going to be the first class to graduate in it. I think the new school will raise the standard of the town a whole lot. Dorothy Stevens: I wish we could have had it last year so the class of '36 could have enjoyed it. However, I’m thankful for the rest of the kids.” Gordon Cameron: “I’m probably go- ing to like it and It will be a big suc- cess. The gym will be nice but it’s going to cost a lot of money.” Betty Sparks: “The auditorium will be the best part.” High School Teachers: Coach Malcolm Gobel: “It’s going to be such a vast improvement over what we’ve had, (the gym. locker room, and showerroom) that it will take some time to make ourselves be- lieve it is ours. Mrs. Alleen Combs: “We’ve needed it for a long time, but I’m glad we are financially able to take care of it.” Miss Winifred Wells: “After the cramped room I've been in during the last few years, a room with a small stage space will seem ideal. Charlotte Business Men: Fred Richey: “It’s the most needed improvement in Charlotte.” John Colizzi: “I think it’s fine. The kids will appreciate it. Fred Murray: It’s something we’ve needed so badly. I believe it will mean a good deal to Charlotte and give our schools a lot of prestige. Not many towns can have old school buildings like ours was and be con- sidered much of anything.” Lawrence Robinson: I don’t know much about it. but I’m for it all right.” Donald Smith, who is graduating this year, is the only sixteen letter- man in the history of Charlotte sports. Don has received four letters each in football, basketball, track, and baseball. Morris 5 and 10c to $1.00 Store, Inc.

President Ernest G. Davids says, In my opinion we are going to have a good high school building which will meet the needs of the community for some years to come, at a comparative- ly low cost to the people of the dis- trict. due mainly to the PWA gift of $100,636. Henry C. Glaaner emphasized. This school building Is being built for all our needs. Nearby country districts will likely Join with us for the ad- vantage we shall have. Future edu- cational policies may decree less load for each teacher. This would give every child Individual attention, which Is the greatest need of the time. We shall be very proud of our combined auditorium and gymnasium, which will be outstanding and useful In many ways. We have planned for the fu- ture as far as possible, and trust our unit, as visioned, will be adequate for many years to come.” Our new school building will be a landmark that in the future we will be proud of. It is a step forward in keeping with the educational program of the world. We have a teaching staff equal to any in a town of this size. We hope that the efTort of the school district will be far reaching in effect and appreciation for many years to come,” commented A. C. Cheney, vice president of the board. Upon questioning him. Darrel John- son had the following answer: “The building will be suitable for many years to come. The best of construc- tion Is used throughout and it hasn’t been cheapened in any way. It has been a pleasure to work for a new building and to see it realized ha been a reward In Itself to the board members.” Vernon R. Gresso answered my queries with. “It's been a pleasure to work with the other members of the board. We did the best we knew how and hope the building will serve the community for many years to come. We trust the pupils will derive many benefits since the taxpayers of the district have made the building possible.” Oldest Graduate Recalls School Days Mrs. R. Mart Buck is the oldest liv- ing graduate of Charlotte high school. However, the lovely and gracious old lady with the snow white hair and keen, bright blue eyes, can be called i old” only because she is the one per-! son left in Charlotte who graduated from high school in 1873, before the school had organized any commence- ment exercises or even had any grades. In reality.” stated Mrs. Buck, I never actually graduated from school, for I never received a diploma. Aman- ta McCamman Martin. Mary Foutz Belcher. Dr. Warren Rand and myself were the four senior pupils In '73 and being considered among the strongest students were afterwards received into the Alumni Association as mem- bers (it not being our fault that no diplomas were given until 1874.)” Eliza Hendee Buck attended Olivet college two years and a half and then taught school one year. She was mar- ried to R. Mart Buck of this city in 1875. She with her daughter. Lena Buck Adams, and grandson. Colonel R. Adams, form three generations in the C. H. S. alumni. Mrs. Buck’s home, has always been in Charlotte since she was twelve years old. This estim- able lady who has always been promi- nent In civic and fraternal affairs, is a charter member of many of Charlotte's most enterprising organizations. She certainly has the love and respect of the community. Reminiscing in her store of rich memories. Mrs. Buck said she believed the first high school was built in this city in 1869 and that same school served the students of Charlotte until 1936. Professor Ingham, a man with a good education but no disci- pline. was the first superintendent. Recalling a typical high room session she said the boys sat on the north side of the room, the girls on the i south, or were supposed to but they walked around at will and sat wher- ever they pleased—in the warm weath- er they even sat In the windows. In the summer the students were quite often out in the front yard under the apple trees, playing ball or jack stones. Mr. Ingham would come to the window and call them into their classes. In September of 1871. Mr. Flitcraft succeeded Prof. Ingham as superin- tendent. He graded the schools, put each pupil where they belonged and punished when necessary. The fol- Clark O. Rudesill CHIROPRACTOR OFFICE HOURS 10-11 A. M.: 2-5 and «-7 P. M. I lowing are the school rules the teach- ers abided by in 1870. These were found in an old newspaper: School Rules Teachers may inflict punishment by detaining a pupil during recess or after school; by requiring a pupil to stand or sit in some specified place. In rare and obstinate cases they may inflict corporal punishment with a whip or strap, but such punishment should be administered in private, and with great caution to prevent bodily injury. Any pupils who shall call out, to hoot at. throw any missile at, or in other manner molest or annoy any person in the street, shall be deemed guilty of a flagrant offense and shall be dealt with accordingly. Pupils shall not stand or sit upon the fences in front of the schoolhouse at any time. Pupils should be careful to keep the feet quiet while engaged in study, or If it be necessary to move them, do it without noise. Pupils should avoid spitting on the floor, it is a vulgar filthy habit. Hours of study shall be from April 1 to September 1. D o'clock A. M. to 12 o’clock M.. and from 2 to 5 P. M.. and with two recesses of fifteen minutes. Holidays shall be July fourth.

ORIOLES ATTAIN FAME IN SPORTS At the beginning of school last fall, the high school’s athletic prospecta were brtlght. Charlotte had a veteran athletic squad, composed largely of seniors, all or most of w'hom were lettermen in two or more sports. To top this wealth of material. Charlotte bad a new coach. Malcolm Gobel. The results of the football and bas- ketball seasons lived up to expecta- tions. inasmuch as the Orioles went through the entire football season with only one set-back, and were nearly as fortunate in the basketball campaign, receiving but four defeats and one tie for the regular season. In the first round of the district bas- ketball tournament, Charlotte met de- feat by Eaton Rapdds. East Lansing proved the only enemies. beating Charlotte on both the gridiron and hardwood court In all engagements. Charlotte's coach, Malcolm Gobel, came to Charlotte after having served as athletic director at Belding. Mr. Gobel is a graduate of Alma college, where he played tackle on a cham- pionship eleven. Prospects are equally bright in regard to the outlook on the baseball and track seasons. Thus far in the season Charlotte has engaged and beaten two opponents in track.

Of the twenty-five who attended, twenty-three voted for and two voted against the original plan and the $10,000 bond issue. As nearly as can be determined, the first part of the present high school was then con- structed in 1869 and 1870. The build- ing was a two story, four room frame structure giving room for a hign school, grammar, first and second in- termediate schools. The first diplomas were given in 1874 to a graduating class of five and to four others, who having prevously finished high school, were declared graduates at that time. The graduates of 1874 to receive di- plomas were: Lucy MacDonald. Ella MacDonald, Jennie Buck, Ada White, and Frank King. Scholars who grad- Moore Bosworth Guragc and Service Station Shell Petroleum Products ‘218 Lansing St. uated before, but did not receive di- plomas until 1874 were: Mary Foutz, Eliza Hendee, Amanda McCamman, and Dr. Rand. Eliza Hendee (Mrs. Mart Buck) and Frank King are the only ones living today. In June, 1888, the graduating class numbered fourteen. They were Lou Pratt, Kate Sagendorph. Effie McCor- mack. Edith Moser. Amanda Barnhart, Maude Cortnight, Grace Robb. Ruth Sherman. Cora Crozier. Ralph Haslett, Louis Stine. Richard Stewart, E. H. Pal hamus and Fred Moore. Bacca- laureate sermon, commencement and class night were held that year in tho old Kellogg House. Townspeople Interested in School Even way back in 1888 the citizens of the city were Interested in what the school and the students were doing. Here is an example taken from the Charlotte Tribune dated June 14. 1888: “As usual, and very properly, the great interest manifested by our citizens for the past week has been in exercises attending the closing of our schools for the school year. Not even the presidential nominations had been of greater interest nor should they be, for we have more good to expect from our educational than from our political circles.” In 1899, eleven years later, twelva students graduated from the Thomas opera house in Charlotte. At this date the Tribune states, Our people are always interested in progress, and the graduation of six young Ladies and as many young gentlemen Is an Important step forward.” The class day exercises were held at the Congregational church. The saluta- tory speech was given by Emerson Boyles. The teachers in 1899 were Supt. Parmelee, Misses Allen, Green, Ferguson, Grube, Robinson, Chap- pell, Alice Brown, Lottie Barney. Clark, Leisenrlng, Dow. Hunt, Warden. Raymond, Warner, Powers. Battler, and Viola Brown and Mrs. Morey. This teachers’ roll Included the whole village school system. Enrollment Increases Steadily Only fiifteen graduated in June, 1903. The students that year were: Wilbur J. Boyles, Floyd M. Cortright, Harriet Dexter, Dorothea McLaugh- lin, Harry O. Potter, Maud Stewart, Lloyd Thompson. Walker McConnell, J. Max Allen. S. J. Bell, Blaine Rob- erts, Nora A. Donovan, John Guide, Jesse Haun. and Harvey J. Rand. In 1908. nine years later, twenty-six students graduated. In 1914 the pupils of the whole hign school numbered two hundred seven- ty-two. whereas in 1900 about half that number, one hundred forty-two made up the total enrollment. In the spring of 1914 they were ready to dedicate the present high school. (The part used now by the students.) Sup- erintendent Carrick said the follow- ing In his reminiscences taken from the Tribune, dated June 13, 1914, ‘America and Michigan in general, or Charlotte in particular, may have faults but a penurious spirit toward schools and education is not one of them! Nothing, absolutely nothing, is a greater monument to the fore- thought and generosity of a commun- ity than its public schools, for they are. without exception, the one thing of common interest. And so. we re- joice with parents, with the teachers, and with the pupils, that September will open to them a new building, well-heated and lighted and venti- lated—indeed a new era In school facilities in Charlotte.” Today, twenty-two years later, on Sunday, May 3, at three o’clock in the afternoon, the citizens of Charlotte meet for the dedication of the corner- stone for a new. bigger, and better school than Charlotte has ever had previously. As appropriate as in the preceding years of school history, cit- izens of Charlotte maintain that strong interest in the school and its program.

Of these, five hun- dred sixty-eight votes were cast for a new school building while seventy- six votes opposed the measure. Two votes were defaulted. Slowly and smoothly the events began to progress. On Tuesday, Jan- uary 14, the contracts were let at a special meeting of the school board in the auditorium of the high school. Spence Brothers of Saginaw received the general contract. Their bid was low at $176,150. Freyn Plumbing and Heating Company with an offer of $29,728 was given the work of in- stalling the plumbing and heating systems.

Wallace. Resident Engineer Inspector of the Inspection Division of the Public Works administration. Since the different government agencies are easily confused. Mr. Wal- lace began to clarify them. The Works Progress Administration is headed by Harry Hopkins and has charge of men on direct relief. The Department of the Interior through the Public Works Administration controls the enter- prises in which the government gives up to forty-five per cent outright to the city. town, or borrower. These Jobs employ men who are out of work, but private contractors are in charge of the construction. This school project is under the P. W. A. At least ninety per cent of all em- ployees must be obtained from the Na- tional Re-employment service, a bu- reau of the Department of Labor for unemployed men that are not on re- lief, and from the W. P. A. The con- tractors are allowed a ten per cent exemption from this requirement for men who act as executives, supervis- ors. and key men. All relief men under the Jurisdic- tion of the W. P. A. in the neighbor- hood of Charlotte are given first preference and are transferred from W. P. A. projects. When all that are qualified to do the desired work are taken from this class, the local unem- ployed registered with the N. R. S. A. C.

Johnson located his in- stitution on West Lawrence, directly opposite the court house. However, the venture proved finan- cially unsuccessful and Johnson moved out in favor of a group of pro- fessors who made a stock company of the old academy. The school again proved unprofitable so through neces- sity rather than otherwise, the owners allowed the school district to take over the institution. are taken. If the community is un- able to meet the needs for laborers, then men of the county registered with these agencies are taken. If work- ers are still needed, the district relief rolls are used. When union mem- bers are desired, the process is the same except that the employment agencies handle this through the dis- trict offices of the union. None of these men can work over 130 hours per month. This means that nearly two sets of men are need- ed. Weather conditions and the types of work are also important in the turnover of workers. This makes laboring conditions a real problem for the contractor.” Mr. Wallace declared. He added that the rates of pay are agreed upon by the Charlotte Board of Education and the state W. P. A. director. There are seventy-nine class- ifications of workers on this project. Projects similar to this are being tarried out in Olivet, Nashville, and Pottervllle.

Five In Graduating (Tush west side of the building.” Mr. King recalled that the high school had been built when he entered, but he was uncertain as to how long it had been standing. Subject Similar to Those of Toda Subjects studied were nearly the same as today, but were more general- ized. At that time there were five high school teachers. A Mr. Flit- craft was superintendent during Mr. King’s first year and C. K. Latham replaced him during the second and third years. Though uncertain as to the number of “scholars in high school, Mr. King concluded that there must have been nearly sixty in the small room. “Two sat in a seat,” he continued, “and we had to ask to leave our seats. As often as not we were never given the privilege. School lasted from nine A. M. to four P. M. with an hour off That year the graduation exercises were held at Sampson’s hall which was located upstairs between the present Carnes Tavern and the fire barns. Each graduate gave a speech instead of having a main speaker. The graduating class to receive di- plomas were: Lucy MacDonald, E1U MacDonald. Jennie Buck, Ada White, and Frank Ktng. Since graduating, Mr. King has been a farmer and all his life he has lived on his farm three miles south of Charlotte, still an able-bodied man.

PETE COLIZZI LIBERTY SWEETS COMPLIMENTS OF Giar Paint Shop The Old High School ’ 77s No More The razing of the old Charlotte High School removes a landmark that calls up memories of youth to the minds of many of this community, and to some of us the passing of the building symbolizes the passing of youth. The recollections stirred in our minds have become dear with the passing of the years. Our affection extends to our school teachers of old and Is only excelled in the love and warmth of home itself. Who of us does not thrill at the mention of an old and beloved teacher. What pleasant thoughts play across our minds as we step back in meditation to the men and women who projected their spirit- ually sensitive and most always devout per- sonalities into the moods and manners of our youth. As Frank Crane says in one of his popu- lar essays. “The road to the Golden Age runs through the school house”. So at this new and progressive milestone In the educational history of Charlotte It Is well to pause in silence and respect for the teachers of the past, whose records reflect the divinity of their profession. In this spiritual praise for teachers past and gone let us remember, at least occasionally, something of significant and understanding appreciation as told by Shakespeare In Henry VIII: When I am forgotten, as I shall be. And sleep In dull cold marble. Say. I taught thee. Among the bright stars in our memory we fondly refer to Superintendent Flitcraft (1872), (stern disciplinarian); Superintendent C. O. Tower. (1876) charming gentleman; Supt. (Miss) King, Supt. M. Louise Jones (1888), both conscientious and capable; Supts. D. A. Hammond (1888-'93); O. L. Miller (1893-’98); M. R. Parmelee (1898-1907); and in the present century, following in the order named are C. H. Carrlck (1907-’25); E. H. Chapelle (1925-1934) and Jay Dykhouse (1934-); all with outstanding records of achievement. Our compliments to the Board of Education.

In September the first meeting was held and the following officers were elect- ed: president. Cecelia Schroeder; vice president. Ruth Martin; secretary. Lu- cille Marvin; and treasurer, Vera Snoke. The club decided to have ten cents dues again and have their pic- ture in the Charhian. Secure Various Speakers The club has been very lucky to have a large number of interesting and worthwhie speakers. Mr. Vine Peters started the year off when he told about his travels and what a grand place Michigan was to live in. compared to other states and sections. Miss Julia Moore told about her bus excursion tour to California last year. She illustrated her talk by many sou- venirs of the west. The Philippines were described by Mrs. L. D. Stevens, who has spent a number of years there. Mr. Charles Smallwood told of northern Michigan and Mr. Earl McGrath and Miss Helen Collins of, sunny Florida. The club then had a rare treat and something they had never had in previous years. It was moving pictures of Europe by Mr. Henry Nielsen. Mrs. Ralph Cowan and Mrs. D. J. Wight also showed moving pictures of Mexico and Green- field village respectively. The last meeting of the year was devoted to member night in which the members took part. On May 9, the club will wind up their year by going to Greenfield Vil- lage at Dearborn near Detroit for their annual trip. They expect to start at 8:00 A.

McCall Reporters................................Rest of Journalism Class A Living Memorial Student Council Sometime or other everyone in school has studied a bit of poetry which concludes that some one thing gained results in a joy forever. We have in Charlotte high school today an existing situation applicable to that conclusion. Three years ago Emerson Hilde- brant became a member of the faculty. During that time Mr. Hildebrant has patiently and industriously developed a band and an orchestra which from a musical standpoint are well-trained. In his work he also has looked far enough forward to prepare for the school's future in music, clearly shown by the eligibility of all but two band members and all orchestra members to next year’s organizations. Supplementing this a junior band was formed to start and encourage younger musicians so that there might be a source from which to draw as others graduate from year to year. Yet, notably outstanding is the esteem and respect which student musicians hold for him. Neglecting his privilege as a qualified instructor to charge for pri- vate instruction as is generally prac- ticed. Mr. Hildebrant has given im- partially and liberally to those wish- ing to learn valuable time and ex- pensive knowledge in his enthusiasm for the promotion of better music. Next year Mr. Hildebrant will not be a faculty member, but to those students of music who have sought en- thusiastically he will have left not only his sincere personal friendship but also a musical lust and apprecia- tion comparable to the spark of life which shall unquestionably remain as long as life itself endures.—B. C. Baseball Just how many students of Char- lotte high school have attended a base- ball game sponsored by the local team? Not more than one-third of the student body has done so. Who plays on the team? Where are the games played? How many games are there? How many victories did the Orioles make last season? Playing baseball or any other sport before empty bleachers is like trying to do a day’s work on an empty stom- ach. There is no Incentive to do the best when school spirit is entirely lacking. All students who have paid their nickle-a-week will be admitted without additional charge. The team has excellent members, but no support. With a large crowd at the Hastings and all other home games the team will do work that will make them mighty hard to beat. Its success rests with the support it receives. Will they win or lose?—R. M. The long walks between buildings will do one of two things. 1. Increase the capacity for food and then the weight. 2. Decrease the weight be- cause of the exercise. During the present school year the student council has set a high stand- ard for service to the student body of Charlotte high school. The permanent organization for the year, the nickle-a-week, the candy sales, and the mixers have proved that this group aided by the appointed of- ficials have succeeded in accomplish- ing the goals. They have spared neither time or effort in doing their duties the best possible. Parents’ night, despite the handicap of the construction of the new high school, was one of the most successful held. The program and exhibits and guides gave the guests a pleasant and worthwhile evening. During the balance of the year, there are two main projects for the council. The caucus, the campaign, and the election mean responsibility and work for the councilmen and by their past record these too will be well done. Finally the Honor Banquet will climax a successful year of student government. The council, mayor and secretary can feel justly proud of the fine rec- ord they are setting this year.—A. R. Haste Makes Work By jiminy, those Hi-Y boys did make a showing for themselves, didn't they? —Jean King’s dancing ought to put her high on the ladder of fame. She probably will be the Eleanor Powell of the next decade.—Denzel Denier knows all the tricks to those cowboy songs.—Did you know that Major Bowes’ amateurs are still on the air? —Hazel Howe will make a second Grade Allen some day. I’ll wager.— The students that attended the Medill Press conference in Chicago and Evanston are still raving about the city.—Don’t miss three plays for a dime at Drama night. — Personal nomination for the cutest couple in high school, Hilda Kelley and Ion Randall.—Love seems to be in bloom. —Helen Foster certainly is a girl of many hobbies. That Roman house just couldn’t be surpassed.—All the girls are getting end curls lately.— Several students and the Quints have birthdays on May 28.—Thank good- ness! leap year’s a third over. Only eight months more and then the fel- lows are safe for three years more!— Keep your noses clean! An important decision faces the entire student body! The assistant principal. Miss Wini- fred Wells, after very thorough in- vestigation. submits this problem to the students of Charlotte high school to decide. In order to reach the Hawthorne school from the high school an ordin- ary person must take 217 steps if he follows the sidewalk around in front. But twenty-two steps are saved if he walks back of the schoolhouses. Now, the problem is whether it is more time and labor saving to trudge over the huge mounds of gravel and get the shoes all dirty or to follow the side- walk and take twenty-two more steps. If one goes the back way. he will have to clean his shoes much more often and maybe wash his feet before Saturday night. If he pursues the front way. he will have to walk farther coming and going. The decision rests with each and every student. Drops From the Spigot Personal nomination for the best radio mechanic in the school, Robert Bush.—No, Wendell Anderson, he will not get a chance to take me up on the remarks I made.—The remark about the depression, contained in the editorial column, was one of the gems heard in economics class.—Modern slanguage would make an old saying sound like this: Everybody’s nuts but you ’n me, an’ sometimes you’re a lit- tle off.—Why do so many of our office girls like to visit Malcolm Gobel's of- fice in some capacity or another? Hard luck, gals, from all indications the coach is well fixed for life.—Songs we know them by: “Waitin’ at the Gate for Katie”, Tommy Nichols; Meloncholy Baby”. Willie Bobier; “Me and My Shadow”, Joe Simek.— Dick” Schroeder should be a BIG help to Marthagene Biggs In her cam- paign for secretary.—I’ll see you at the mixer, that is if I can have the third dance, well, have you the sev- enth?—If you wanna know who I am, address a card to Mr. X and drop it in the wastebasket.—According to all the noises, something is being done on the new school building.—There is a story going around that one day when “Chump” Frace came into Kenneth Brown’s class about a minute late, “Hank” piped up with. “When were you born, Frace?” The answer was, April 2. your honor.” Oh.” said the prof, “you’ve been a little late all your life, eh?”—Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go. and so. I’ve gotta go. It would seem that the high school’s Tammany hall group have all grad- uated. With his hair falling down into his eyes. Andrew James Fink perched himself precariously on the window sill in the journalism work room. As I looked at his serious face, I thought, Ah—here is at last a man’s man. Jimmy said his favorite sport Is swimming and he likes to fool around with guns. He enjoys driving und traveling. He would like to explore Labrador and some of the other re- mote, little known lands. When asked where he would like to live, he said, “California.” I was rather afraid to mention the sacred subject of girls, but summon- ing all of my courage I asked him what the ideal girl is like. He said. Well, It’s hard to say. I’d like to have her smart, but not too smart. I prefer the shy. bashful type instead of the bold kind. He says that a girl should be neat and attractive and not silly. Silly girls are my pet hate! Jimmy plans to get married and raise a family. When pursued further he said, I'd like a fair to middle sized family, about five or six chil- dren. because it’s sure fun when a whole family gets together and the more the merrier!” His ambition is to be a doctor and do good for the world. He would like to own a Packard automobile and then the cops couldn't catch him. Jimmy is a hardened socialist, but he thinks Roosevelt should be re- elected. Dickens is his favorite author. Milking cows is his pet aversion. He says that he has milked for nigh unto eight years. Then as his face went blank and he began counting his fingers. I asked what was wrong. He said. “I’m just figuring—I believe that I've milked about 6.400 cows in my time. Why. it is astounding.” Mixer Tomorrow Night Tomorrow night will mark the last student mixer of the year. Maurice Styles and his Albion college or- chestra will furnish the music for the evening. Dancing will continue from 8:00 till 11:30 P. M. A new plan for inter- mission will be tried for this mixer. The program will be in the high room. A trio composed of Charlotte Alsover, Rosemary Fielder and Patricia Higby will sing several selections. Raymond Dowker will also sing several selec- tions.

A special assembly honoring alumni and post grads was held. Recognition The depression is all over—every- where. Within the past week two boys have gained recognition along two lines, that of journalism and dairying. Don- ald Richey and Harold Maurer need to be complimented. Charlotte high can be mighty proud of them. Donald placed second in the make-up and edit- ing contest at the Medil Press confer- ence. His competitors came from eleven other states. Harold won a scholarship to M. S. C. for having done exceptionally good work in dairying. Charlotte high’s secretarial race is usually a beauty contest. Brain-of-the-Newspaper Simek sug- gests that we elect a freshman mayor and let him hold office until he grad- uates. That might be a lifetime. The Observer, newspaper of Dear- born high school, was awarded second class honor rating by the National Scholastic Press association. The Observer scored 615 out of a possible 1000 points. Before the Observer be- came known by its present name, it was called the Orange and Black. The name was changed last fall. The school project is good for the soap manufacturers. Everyone has to wash his feet more often. Lansing Eastern’s spring sport pro- gram is amazingly full. The Quakers have interscholastic athletic teams participating in track, baseball, golf, and tennis. Six footers are very pre- dominate on the baseball nine. There are an even half dozen of these lads from the tall timber. ORANGE Sc BLACK Page S ORIOLES TROUNCE EATON RAPIDS NINE Mayhew and Barnhill Lead Charlotte To Easy Victory, 9-4 Having a perfect day at bat Lee Barnhill led the Oriole nine to an «■any victory over the Eaton Rapids squad last Friday afternoon. Lee started the attack by hitting a three base drive Into right field in the first Inning. He also received credit for two singles and got two free trips to first. Smith, doing mound duty for Char- lotte. limited the Islander sluggers to four hits, two of which were obtained by Pollett. Poilett’s hits were both lusty two baggers. Two Eaton Rap- Ids pitchers. Robertson and Scott, seemed to have nothing on the ball but the cover, inasmuch as they al- lowed the Oriole hatters nine hits in seven Innings. Robertson was credit- ed with the defeat. The Orioles started a rally by bat- ting around in the first inning, get- ting three runs on two hits, two walks, two errors, and a hit batsman. These mixed In with a long fly and two Infield outs account for the trio of tallies. Charlotte lost an excellent scoring chance In the first, when, with two out and the bases loaded. Jones grounded out to the infield. Foul tips cost both teams the services of the starting catchers in the fourth. Student Golfers Get Oriole Feathers % Chance to Play Free Students of the Charlotte high school may now play golf at the Char- lotte golf course without charge. The purpose of their act is to have more students know how to play the game. Kenneth Brown and Frances Wildern are ready to assist the stu- dents that care to learn to play. The students may use the links any day except Sundays and holidays. This of- fer will not hold during summer vaca- tion. The school board hopes that every one will take advantage of their offer and will learn to play the game. Batting Averages F. F. A.

McCall Rest of Journalism Class Cramming Board Praises Journalists fancy That Should 1 or shouldn't I? This is the question that is bothering the seniors lately. Will it be work, post grad, stay at home, or college? This is the way the members of the Class of 1936 have answered the question. ‘ What do you intend to do next year?” Why cram? Why not get the lessons now? The typical high school student, the night betor examinations, will take every book out of his desk and home he’ll go. He will stay up until the wee hours of the morning trying to get in one short night the work tor the entire year. If such a student would get his lesso daily, then a day or two before examinations he could make a short review the course. He would have an opportun- ity to go h � e on the night b«to examinations and sleep. The next day he would have no headache, a better mark, and the peac° of mind that he had done his best work. At least there wasn't any cow brought into the caucus this year. Charlotte Publ.c Schools Charlotte, Michigan May 9, 1936 Mr. Harlan McCall.

The Char- lotte Country club has given the stu- dent body the privilege of playing without having to pay the usual green fees. Moreover. Mrs. Frances Wil- dern, Kennth Brown, and other mem- bers of the faculty are giving instruc- tions without charge. Students not familiar with the game will be given an opportunity to learn and will have no chance for embar- rassment at their high scores. This is indeed a real chance to take - a sport that can be played all during life, at any time, and in nearly every town. We’re thankful for summer vacation because all work and no -day—well you know the rest. Today’s Poem Upon being requested to write a poem in class. Johnny wrote this: A boy was walking down the rail- road tracks. A train was coming fast. The boy jumped ofT the railroad tracks. To let the train go past. The teacher returned the paper with this comment: Rewrite in more dra- matic style.” Johnny returned the pa- per in a short time and it read as follows: A boy was walking down the rail- road tracks. A train was coming fast, The train Jumped off the tracks To let the boy go past. —Exchange, This may be more or less of a formal statement. However. I am certain the Board is deeply interested in the work of the students. They are happy to note that high school stu- dents are capable of doing such fine work. Kindly convey this sentiment to all of the students who assisted. Sincerely yours. V. R. Gresso, Sec'y, Board of Education.

Watch Their Smoke It seems that in order to get a Smoke interview lately, the win- some reporter just had to get tough and put the subject on the spot . Of course that doesn’t necessarily mean to be brutal: oh no indeed! for the very practice of journalism has proven that courtesy really pays. Bill wasn't so hard to handle anyway. He Just opened up like a book and told me what not to print. So there, a career in a nutshell for the Bquirrels to crack. Way. way back in Se ‘ember, 1918, somewhere in the country on a farm, there was born to Mr. and Mrs. Bobier, one son William, the first of live chil- dren. When but a vear and a half of age. young Bill moved into town with his parents, then into the coun- try, again to the city, and finally “back on the farm , where the lad’s affinity for nature has held him since. From his first steps. Bill has en- joyed long walks (alone and o’her- I wise, however, the former still sur- passes the latter in number) through I the woods and fields at home. Al- though he states. I’m puzzled as to where I belong”, the lure of forestry and lumber work has undoubtedly risen from Bill’s jaunts with Mother j Nature. Being a farmer boy. Bill has t be i proficient and interested in farm work. His hobby is raising pigs. He has just recently enjoyed an addition of six members to his family (of pigs). His proficiency lies where that of most farmer boys does. In milking cows. Bill proudly claims I can milk four cows while the hired man milks two. But I can’t milk two t his one because I have to catch up between the bovine!” And that’s that. Golf is embarrassing to students who can't count above 100. Where will the seniors go from here? The Gateway cast are moaning for the Masonic Temple for class night so they might have more room in which to skip about. G. Peltier—fp 'ng. D. Raymond—Alba Beauty school. D.

Smith was second in the high hurdles, and set a regional record in the 200 yard low hurdles with a time of 24.3. The old record was 26.1. Don’s height of ten feet eight inches was good enough for fourth place in the pole vault, which Faulkerson of East Lansing won with a height of eleven feet eight inches. Manger, Putman, Cheney, and | Smith made up the relay team that placed fourth. Gail Cheney placed fifth in the cen- tury and Reefman took third place in the mile. These were the only boys to place.

BLACK JOE WHITE By Joe Siraek A veteran of the age of the sailing vesaeC lives quietly on a farm in Chester township. He is Joe White, a grand old man of eighty-flve years, who told me many a rousing sea yarn from six years of life before the mast. Very soon after arriving, his soft Eng- lish accent carried me to strange lands. His twinkling eyes and rolling gait of a tar along with his snowy white hair and beard added color to his stories. Mr. White was born iu Sibton, Suffex County. England, in 1851. After re- ceiving a small education he was ap- prenticed to a carpenter. Finding this a disagreeable occupation he found a job in the shipyards, but this too fail- ed to satisfy his adventurous spirit, and so at the age of sixteen he ship- ped as a cabin boy on a voyage to India. From this time he lived a life of adventure that carried him to many parts of the world. He spent several years in and around Australia work- ing in the harbors or on river crafts. During the interview Mr. White snow- ed me many pictures. With each he gave a fascinating story. He seemed to have a great love for the island of Australia. Over there, he said. Everything is opposite from things in this country. Other places where he had stopped are: China, Africa. South America, Polynesian Islands, and other South Pacific islands. Once, he stated. “The lure of the famous Australian gold diggings got me. but after a short time in the Australian bush. I gave it up. He described the life on a sailing vessel. He said the nature of work and the food makes real athletes out of sailors. He added that he never saw a fat sailor. Discipline is ab- solutely necessary on boats . he stated. You learn to do thiiigs whether you like them or not.” He was in two near-mutinies. Mr. White’s description of an East Indian hurri- cane was like a page from a story book. His prize possession is an exact model of a sailing vessel on which he had worked many years. His only tools in making it were a jacknlfe and a broken sail needle. He doesn’t recommend a sailor's life, but said that the world had to have sailors. While still a young man he came to this country to visit his uncle who had been lured to America by tales of the land of milk and honey and that cooked roosters called. Come and eat me. His plans were to go to the Pacific and again go out to sea. After work- ing a few summers around Adrian, he settled on his present farm in 1883. He said that he never liked farming and that it was just fate that made him a farmer. He attributes his old age to a good physical make-up, taking care of him- self, and listening to those who knew what they were talking about. He says that New York City is the most interesting spot in America. He has a great respect for Admiral Byrd and thinks that sail boat racing is the greatest of sports. Mr. Whites memory is amazing. He can describe any incident to small- est detail. After a cheery ood-bye he invited me to come back again and I left hungry for more sea tales.
