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. It is the only complete memory vol-j ume of school days one can possess. Soon announcements will be made relative to the 1936 Charhian. When you sign up, a small deposit will be necessary; the rest can be paid when you receive your copy. This is a real opportunity! Plan to purchase the year book now in preparation by the senior class.—W. B. High School Personalities Don Smith doesn't take a back seat when it comes to selling tickets either. Kenneth Jones in Civics class: “I think it would be better to fill up the valleys and cut down the hills. Wayne Clever certainly lives up to his name. Tommy Nichols looks very hand- some behind the footlights. Maybe there’s a future for you. Tommy. According to Mrs. Kipllnger's defin- ition of why a person is never bored, we don’t wonder why Marthagene Biggs is always so Interested in every- thing. Who ever suspected the poetic abil- ity behind Harlo Dewey’s football coat of armour? AN INSTRUCTOR She is about five feet five in- ches. Her laughing brown eyes and shining white teeth add gaity to her countenance. She chooses her clothes with the dis- cretion of a sportswoman; she exercises fair play in all her act- ivities. She makes explanations in classes with willingness thus benefiting the students. Danc- ing is one of her greatest enjoy- ments. Surely now you can guess. Last issue: Malcolm Gobel. 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. We must and we can meet the challenge which this age presents. Let’s show them!—M. J. C. Witty Wits- Keith King: How long did you study last night William? “Bill” Hale: “Two hours, railroad time. Keith King: “What do you mean? “Bill” Hale: “That is. including stops and delays.” Tommy Nichols: “What would you do if I kissed you on the forehead?” Katheryn Smith: “I’d call you down.” “Life said Judge Robert Killian. “Hooray!” cried William Bobier Bars and strips forever.” Mr. Koch: “Where is the mono- acetic-acld-e8ter-of-salicylIc-ac!d?” Mrs. Koch: Do you mean the aspirin?” Mr. Koch: Yes I never can re- member that name.” I’M THANKFUL For helping to bring back the little brown jug.—George Mayhew For a faithful girl.-Tommy Nichols For good health and Charles.-Mr. Flower That I don’t teach Latin.—Beatrice Williams For my height.-Richard Schroeder For the success of “Annapolis Fare- I well. —Lucille Marvin That I can still smile.—Sue Gillam That Popeye won’t grow any bigger. —Ann Colizzi That I don't have to pace the floor at night for Connie Lou.—Harlan Mc- Call For a stomach so I can eat.—Jimmy i Fink That I had the opportunity to study at Northwestern this summer.—Miss ; Wells That I have no more little brothers.

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. Dorothy Snoke dunks when her mother isn’t looking. Her method is a secret. James Drake just plunks the whole doughnut down in his coffee. Richard Schroeder's favorite is toast in cider. Harlan McCall thinks that dunking I is a bad habit but he likes real dry ; toast softened in hot coffee. Bee Williams says that she doesn’t dunk, but as a little girl she liked su- gar cookies dunked in water. Bob Bush likes to strangle his sug- ared doughnut and poke his little fin- ger through the vacant space in the middle and dash it into his cocoa. Donald Richey— It’s a vulgar and , distasteful habit. Ruth Martin likes graham crackers in milk. Waterproof This new and positively waterproof roofing which covers the old red schoolhou.se has but one flaw, that being a hole in the ceiling which ob- viously must have been overlooked when the chimney was extracted; but to remedy this the school board has purchased a nice shiny pail which satisfactorily disposes of the everlas- ting and annoying drip, drip, drip of H20 which so naturally occurs every time It rains. The shivering gusts of the cold No- vember wind have howled across the roof and strewn the water soaked shingles across the playground; heavy rains set in and it is necessary to es- tablish a temporary cistern in the hall outside of Jacob Van Vessem’s room so that the students will not be com- pelled to wear boots to classes. Soon the rain will change to sleet, then to snow and down through the weather beaten hall, soft fluffy snow flakes will sift under the doors of the adjoining rooms, there to lie glistening in the sunlight, while the shivering students clothed in fur coats avrait the coming of spring KXOAXGKS Mr. L.

ORANGE BLACK Page .1 CHARLOTTE DOWNS EATON RAPIDS 6-0 Dewey Intercepts Forward Pass To Score Lone Touchdown Tho line-ups: Charlotte Pom. Eaton Itapids Holder LE Phew Jones LT Cooley 1 . verts L'J Shank Schroeder C Schultz Far Hi Bever Kelly RT Freemlre Mayhew RE Zavltz Smith OH Simpson Mnnger Lll O’Dell Briggs RH Squires Dewey KB It hi nes Officials: Rich, Murray. 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. Crlcle Feathers MILTON BRIGGS and RICHARD KELLY, co-captains of this year's football team, will both graduate this year. 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. It also gave the Trojans first place in the conference. Charlotte managed to dow n Eaton Rapids despite a mud drenched field, and so took possession of second place.
