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.

Floyd was stooped instead of Up- right. Charles was a tree instead of Bush. Comments on the Coldwater Game Harlo Dewey: Good running and spectacular blocking brought the charging Orioles to victory. 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.

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. The following fellows have already filed notice with the club secretary that they wish to join this year’s club: James Fink. “Bob” Munger, Allison | Rumrlll, Gaylord Gardner, Frank Dickinson.

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.
