Char- lotte quarterback, getting off some very long punts which held the Ledgers in their own territory. From this point the game was mostly plunges and punts, very few passes being used. Hardly any of the few passes tried were completed. However. Collins grabbed one which netted the local team much ground. The first touchdown was scored by Smith on an off-center play from the second yard mark. The extra point was missed and the quarter soon end- ed. The play again went deep into the Grand Ledge territory Charlotte mak- ing three first downs, two of them on the only good passes of the game, but the half ended without another score.

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.

Circulation—600 Subscription Rates—1.75 Per Year STAFF EXECUTIVE BOARD Publisher............ Managing Editor...... Editor-In-Chief...... Business Manager..... Advertising Manager. Faculty Advisor...... Reporters............ ..............Ann Colizzi ...............Joe Simek ...........Donald Richey .........Francis Flaherty ............Milton Briggs ............Harlan McCall Rest of Journalism Class Optimism Some people whom we meet every day go about morosely making them- selves disagreeable to others around them. 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. Teresa Hale is attending Western State Teachers’ College. Ed. Cheney is a member of the M. S. C. band. An Instructor Compassionate, steadfast, kind —an inconspicuous but lovable character—clear, cultured, un- affected voice—fourteen years a guiding hand to students leaving and entering Charlotte high school—always at the side of a sick friend—splendid advisor for girls—ever eager to learn— extra good sense of humor— neat, attractive looking— a sin- cere. constructive interest in ev- ery student. '-“-“- «V-'VW»-.■WWUPW Rambling Comments The greatest praise for Marie Gar- vey! She was elected president of the travel club by a substantial ma- jority. 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. DIAMOND JIM A Universal Picture THE CAST Diamond “Jim Brady..Edward Arnold Jane Matthews..........Jean Arthur Emma...................Jean Arthur Lillian Russell......Minnie Barnes Jerry Richardson.....Cesar Romero And many others compose the su- perb and colorful cast of this allur- ing picture bringing to life on the screen the most thrilling and roman- tic period in the history of New York city. The Gay Nineties”. “Jim Brady, who rose in a spec- tacular career from the son of a bowery saloon-keeper and hotel bell- boy to the “sugar daddy” of the chorus girls, and the broadway millionaire who gave away diamonds like Rocke- feller gave away dimes is at his best in Diamond Jim”. You'll see the one and only time when he was drunk; the rest of the times he drank orange juice; and you’ll see him propose in a different way. Don’t miss this dyna- mic picture full of diamonds and dazzling women, to be shown at the Eaton theatre October 20 and 21. Inquiring Reporter Question: What is your opinion of Dutch dates”? Answers: Jacob Van Vessem: “Being Dutch myself and having had several ‘Dutch dates' I can highly recommend them to the student body. Howard Bond: “They don’t work! Because then the girl thinks she can1 boss the fellow. Beatrice Williams: “They are all right in a pinch, but otherwise I am opposed to them.” Malcolm Gobel: “Having never had any, 1 am not in the position to say. Kathryn Smith: It would be O. K. if the girl had oodles of money.” Harlo Dewey: Most boys have more respect for girls than to make them pay their own way.” William Bobier: Positively, no ‘Dutch dates’ for me.” Sue Gillam: “It all depends on a lot of things. Miss X: It all depends on how bad you want to go with him. Douglas Reister: “I haven't had enough experience.” Delores Bouska: “It would be fun once but the darn boys would get so they expected it and then what? Harlan McCall: The boys should- n’t have to shoulder all the expense, especially if they are going together frequently. Marena Kiplinger: “I think it is a friendly, compromising way, espec- ially if it isn’t serious.” Humor Not Ills Worry Prof.—“Young man how many times have I told you to get to this class on time! Student— I don’t know. I thought you were keeping score.” Down On Him Senior: Don’t you think my mustache becoming? Freshman: “It may be com- ing. but it hasn’t arrived yet. Teacher: “Give me a sen- tence with a direct object.” Senior: You are pretty. Teacher: “What is the ob- ject?” Senior: A decent mark.” Boy—“May I have the last ij dance with you?” Ji Girl— You’ve had it. f Neiv Books At The Library Mutiny on the Bounty—Nordhoflf and Hall.

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? Milton Briggs—with a permanent? Zelma Eyer—without her giggle? Howard Bond—without his hands? Tommy Nichols—without Kate”? Sue Gillam—without that smile? Winifred Wells—with bobbed hair? Lucille Marvin—six feet tall? Marena Kiplinger—without her poise? Mary Maxine Richey—with straight hair? Norma Curtiss—yelling? The Journalism work room—in or- der?
