CluiAlUcut Class Prophecy Good morning, everyone. This is Howard Bond here In Charlotte to tell you all about the homecoming of the famous graduating class of 1937. They have gathered here to see once more the school from which they graduated before it is torn down and replaced by a modern, glass brick building. Robert Bush is the man responsible for the new school. Coming to Char- lotte two months ago for a vacation from his job as radio engineer with R. C. A.. Mr. Bush saw that the high school did not meet the needs of the students of 19St . With characteristic swiftness he Influenced the townspeo- ple to vote in favor of a new building. There certainly is a crowd here for this homecoming. I Just saw Martha Peters Kilian. Detroit society leader, and Catherine Dumer. a buver for Marshall Field s in Chicago. Perhaps Helen Rogers, who won the Pulitzer prize for her recent novel. Come With the Breeze, will say a few words over the microphone later in the day. Don- ald Richey, foreign correspondent, who wrote a series of articles on the Italian revolution last month, just disappeared around a corner of the building. Take Kiplinger’s Tonic It is amazing how young all of these people look. Their average age must be about 67. But Junior Mellor. gossip columnist of the Detroit Times. told me the other day that most of them take I)r. Eva Jeane Klpllnger’s youth tonic regularly. Dr. Kiplinger is now working In collaboration with Dr. Jack Kilian on a t.nic to prevent worrying of all kinds. Just rounding the corner is Harold Maurer with his prize cow which he keeps with him constantly. His last cow was stolen just after It won the $5,000 prize at the Eaton county fair. “There is Sam Combs who sells that famed Combs Creamy Cream. His contented cows number 1,507 at pres- ent. Everyone seems to lie going to the gymnasium now where there will be dancing and refreshments. Take It away. 'Pete'.” Taylor's Orchestra Plays Hello, folks. This Is Myrl 'Pete' Granger broadcasting from the gym- nasium of the high school where these graduates of ’37 are begln- n ng to dance. 'Duff' Taylor and his old time swing orchestra, the famous group that you hear every Friday evening over N. B. C.. are furnishing the dance music. Bob Taylor, who played in his brother’s orchestra dur- ing high school days, now owns a chain of drug stores extending over the United States and Canada. Hold everything, folks. I see Harlo Dewey, a former Tiger pitcher, over by the orchestra. Oh-oh. that world-famous foreteller of the future. Alice Jo Oldt. Just dan- ced by in the arms of Don Itousb. winner of several Olympic medals for | his swift running. Miss Oldt bus a professional name. She calls herself Mme. Zara. “We understand that President Douglas Reister will be here this after- noon. but as yet he has not arrived. Probably he Is having more trouble with Werlin Love, president of the American Federation of Labor. Charles Jacobs, well-known New York minister, is talking earnestly with Ruth Baas in a corner near here. Miss Baas is a language professor at the University of Michigan and a strong advocate for an international language.

We. the class of 37, having the distinction of being the first class to 1h graduated from the new building ure Justly proud, although with the tearing down of the old one some of our fondest memories were destroyed. In behalf of our class I wish to thank the teachers who have so unselfishly given us their very best for the good of the class. As we look at the faces of our dearest friends and teachers we cannot help hut feel a little downhearted at the thoughts of leaving them, hut let us hope our friendships carry on after our school life has become a thing of the past. Seniors, as we come to the close of our high school careers and we say goodbye to all of our high school associates, let us join in the serious business of making a livelihood with the same zest as we have entered our school activities In move “Onward and Upward.” for the Chicago Tribune', and Gerald Stanke. a wealthy New York stock broker, are conversing animatedly at one of the tables lining the wall.

Our Bid for Success ’Twas In the dark depression days of 1933 that the class of 37 first ac- cepted the responsibility and pleasures that were to make up their high school career.

Mrs. Jay Dykhouse. nee Mary Carland. and Miss Helen Wueb- ben were the class advisers for the year. The next fall they returned, as eager as ever to take over their share of the work and fun found In sehool ac- tivities.

Charlotte took second place in the Central Six conference standings. However. Bast Lansing was the only team in the conference the Orioles failed to turn back. The season was climaxed by a 12-6 win over their arch rival. Baton Rapids, on Armistice day. Start Season with Four Victories Bight veterans returned for service ami with this foundation. Coach Gobel whipped the team into shape for the first contest. It resulted In a 13-0 victory over Ioniu. On the following Friday, the Orioles tied Cold water 6-6 in a night game. Charlotte had little trouble with their next two opponents. Mason and Grand Ledge: they defeated them 25-7 and 13-0 respectively. In the second home game. Hastings gave the Orioles their first defeat with a 12-7 score A week later the locals trampled over the Howell Highlanders by a 48-6 victory. I’pon invading Bast Ionising the Orioles again found the Trojans too powerful for them. Their mechanical skill attributed to a 25-7 victory. In the next contest the Boys' Vocational school bowed to Charlotte 23-0. Defeat Eaton Rapids In the season finale, the Orioles' ancient rivals. Baton Rapids, came here for the annual Armistice day game. For the second successive year. Charlotte was on the long end of the score, this time 12-6. A touch- down in the third period decided the outcome, after each team had scored in the opening quarter. This gave the Orioles a second place rating of .800. having scored 154 points to their opponents 62. Major letters were awarded to six- teen grid players. In place of the usual letters. Coach Gobel awarded metal trophies to those seniors who already had one football letter. Those receiving trophies were: Ned Bryan. Harlo Dewey. Walter Howe. Raymond Putman. George Collins. Charles Everts, and Robert Ray. Letters were awarded to the following players: Joe Nelson. Don Roush. Gail Cheney. Max Tullis. James Shaffer. Vern Reynolds. Carl Gordon. Bldred Toutant. Charles Bush, and Floyd Merritt who acted as manager for the team. With the exception of Nelson and Roush the latter group will return next year. At a meeting of the lettermen after the Eaton Rapids game. Ned Bryan was elected captain, having proved himself more than worthy of tills honor bestowed to him by his fellow players. Veterans To Return In answer to what he thought of next year's possibilities. Coach Gobel stated that with Toutant. Tullis. Cheney, and Bush, he had good back- fleld prospects. The quality of the team depends on the development of a line.” explained Mr. Gobel. if some of these hoys grow over the summer and develop into effective linemen, we'll have a good team next year.” Since Shaffer is the only regular line- man returning, there will he much opportunity for new players. In honor the season's fine work, the Charlotte merchants gave a ban- quet for the squad and the school hand. —Oriole Feathers Hr.RLO DEWEY: Winning live basketball letters Is a feat very seldom ac- ‘omplished by a player, hut such is the case of this individual. Harlo u so has four football, two baseball, and one track letter. GEORGE COLLINS: George is a first-class luiskethall player, having won three letters in this sport; also being elected captain of the team in his senior year for his brilliant playing. George has won two football, two track, and two baseball letters. RAYMOND PUTMAN: Putt” has two football, one basketball, one track, and two huselnill letters. Raymond dropped out of athletics last semes- ter in order to work. WALTER HOWE. Walt was elected captain of the liaseliall team last year. He has three baseball, two football, and two track letters. NED BRYAN: Besides playing on the football team two years and on the ImihHmiII team one year. Ned was elected captain of the football team last fall. DONALD ROl’SH: Don has one track and one footlmll letter. He did not go out for track this year. CHARLES EVERTS: He has held the position of guard on the football team for two years. ROBERT RAY: Bob also has two football letters, playing at the same position. JOB NELSON: Joe received his first letter this year as a member of the football team. He was manager of the basketball team this last winter. HOWARD BOND: Bondy won his first letter in track this year. He ran the 440 yard dash. ROBERT ALLEN. JR.: Bob” was a member of the relay team this spring. He ran both the 220 and the 100 yard dash. WERLIN BRADLEY: This was Werlln's first year on the baseball team. Ilf won his letter as an outfielder. FLOYD MERRITT: He acted ns manager of the football team lust fall. Interest in Baseball Rises; Team Defeats Howell Nine The national sport, baseball, took on a greater number of new recruits at Charlotte this year. It seems that the enthusiasm has risen over that of past years, also that the students and town folks have taken more in- terest. The Charlotte team won their first game from Howell by a score of 7-6 which was a hotly fought battle from start to finish. This was the first de- feat handed Howell from Charlotte for a number of years. In the second game Charlotte lost its first contest to Eaton Rapids 6-5. and was defeated by Mason 1-0 in the next. The other eight games of the season provided thrills for the spectators and valuable experience for the team. Senior members of the team to get letters are: Walter Howe, catcher; Ned Bryan, pitcher; Werlin Bradley, outfielder: and George Collins infield- er. These boys added much power In the field and at the plate. They will be missed very much next year. Howe, a veteran catcher, was the leading hitter of the team, also he was an inspiratlonal leader for his team mates. Collins who had prev- iously won letters in baseball was a capable fielder at any position on the infield. Bryan and Bradley were new to the team this year and they de- serve much credit for their work. Vern Reynolds, outstanding mound- man and being a junior, should he a great help to the team in another year. “Bob” Ladd, a sophomore, is another outstanding infielder. Vaughn Rogers. Jack Mate. Mike Mayhew, Carl Gordon. Jim Spuniola. and Jul- ius Fisher all were valuable to the team and to the school. This year's team was composed mostly of sophomors and juniors. Several freshmen made impressive be- ginnings and have chances of being i regulars by next year. Brown Arranges Many New Intramural Events Kenneth Brown who organized the various intramural teams must be giv- en credit for his splendid supervision and leadership in making the Intra- mural sports program a success. After Christmas vacation the first games were played In the basketball tournament. During a period of eight weeks, each team played the teams of the three other classes at least four times. These games were played In the gym on afternoons that the var- sity team had games. After the last game the classes finished in this or- der: seniors, first; juniors, second; sophomores, third, and the freshmen, last. For the pugilistically minded boy. the manly art of self defense, either boxing or wrestling was offered in the form of an elimination match, where the final contestant in each weight class was declared the point winner for Ills class. The hoys were placed under the tutorship of Terence Flow- er. who won letters in boxing at W. S. T. C. Kenneth Brown coached a golf team for the toys. and the girls were given an opportunity to play under the supervision of Mrs. Frances Wll- dern. Out scoring the sophomores by but one point, the juniors won the inter- class track meet with forty points. The seniors and freshmen finished third and fourth respectively. Miss Helen Collins, girls' physical education teacher, coached a girls’ basketball team and hIro organized a tumbling team, the first of its kind in Charlotte. The winning class of each sport has its class year engraved on n plaque furnished by former coach Kenneth Barnhill. Cage Team Has Average of .333 The Charlotte Orioles ended th n 1836-37 liaskethall season under Couch Malcolm Gobel with five victories and ten defeats for a percentage of 333. Win Over Trojans The Orioles started the season by defeating the strong East Lansing quintet 20 to 16 for the first time In eleven years of luisketl all. Hastings won from Charlotte 30 to 18. how- ever. Charlotte came back the follow- ing week to defeat Mason 28-22. Eaton Rapids defeated the Orioles three times, twice in sch« duh d con- tests and once In tin district tourna- ment. Charlotte succeeded In de- feating Grand Ledge in two games. 28-13 and 21-11. Two seniors. Dewey and Putman, left at the end of the first semester, leaving three regulars to finish the season. Tullis. Rogers, and Cheney were promoted from the second team to fill these vacancies. Charlotte lost two close games to Howell 22-18 and 21-20. They lost two games to Hastings and Eaton Rapids. Games were divided between East Lansing. Mason, and Boys' Vocation- al. Collins Leads Scoring Collins, the onlv senior on the team, scored 146 points for the entire season with Ladd second, scoring 53. Toutant scored 32 points, while Put- man scored 31 in five games. Tullis was next with 18; Rogers tullied 10; Tracv and Chandler tied with 4 apiece and Cheney followed with 1 point. “Prospects look very good for a great team next year. states Coach Gobel. I «Kid. Toutant. Tullis, and Chandler, sophomores; Rogers, a junior, and Tracy a freshman will all lie back next year. With the excep- tion of Chandler the aliove hoys are all lettermen. Cheney will he eligible during the first semester. I rack Squad Wins Meets F rom Eaton Rapids, Ionia The track squad of 1837, under the coaching of Malcolm Gobel. with sev- eral new members in Its ranks en- joyed a fairly successful season hav- ing won meets from Eaton Rapids and Ionia. Two meets were lost to Hastings, one in an invitational meet In which eight other schools were entered and the other 111 a regular dual meet. Olivet college freshmen defeated the Orioles by a four point margin at the Comet's track. Cheney and Collins, two members of Inst year's team, scored the major- ity of the teams points. Cheney doing the low hurdling and sprints and Collins entering the high hurdles, high jump, pole-vault, and broad jump. The team scored a total or 27 points at the Regional meet at Grand Rapids Saturday. May 15.

The following officers were elected: Presi- dent, Kenneth Rogers; vice president. Rose Day; secretary. Kathleen Rolfe; and treasurer, Catherine Durner. Meetings are to be held every other Monday night at the high school. It was also decided that all those who were members of the club last year should be included as members this year. This is unusual as the club us- ually begins the year with the second year shorthand students only. The rest are usually admitted after the first marking period. This near method brings the membership up to twenty- seven. Mixer Rhythm A sculpture of The Thinker may make a restful picture and be toad for thought' but who likes to see it on a bench at the student mixers? The seats are there lor rest between dances or to use while waiting for someone to dance. Refreshments and refreshment tables are to be used for variation during the dance pro- gram. The orchestra and decorations are obtained to put the crowd in a gay mood for fun and dancing. Every possible idea has been considered to make these parties bigger and better. When the orchestra announces n novelty number, make it novel! The mixers are for us. make them ours. Wind ourselves up and come to the mixer for a dancing good time! Today’s Responsibilities Every day we read of the deaths caused by automobiles; vividly illus- trated posters warn us of our constant danger in relation to the auto, yet we seldom give them a second thought. Then suddenly a boy in our own city is killed and his two companions injured while coasting out into the street. Neither the boys nor the driver were directly to blame. Chil- dren are thoughtless and must be cared for. It Is the duty and re- sponsibility of each driver to protect the young. He must have his car under instant control when in the city limits and In districts where children are numerous. These boys were care- less and thoughtless in their play, and : the driver did not have absolute con- trol of his car. as was his responsi- bility. Caution on the part of either party would have saved a young life I and needless injuries. The shock of this calamity and the loss of the young lad is one that will never be1 forgotten by those who loved him most—his parents. What a dear lesson such an accident is, but this too. is only temporary. Ac- cidents and loss of life will not stop at such comparatively small sacrifices. Neither now. nor In the near future, will such wanton destruction be done away with. Thus the responsibilty rests with earh and every one of us, whether a driver or a pedestrian, to protect other lives as our own in every man- ner and method possible. Terence Flower spent the summer at his cottage in the upper peninsula. He also took a one hundred mile boat trip down the Tahquamenon river to the falls. Jane and Martha Peters visited Yellowstone Park, Grand Canyon. Na- tional Park. Salt Lake, and attended the Texas centennial at Dallas. Miss Alice Colburn observed short- hand classes at Cleary college. The rest of the time was spent at Arbutus lake near Traverse City. School Songs, Old and New While listening to the familiar melody of the school song a person is i apt to ask himself, ‘ Is any song pret- tier than this? After hearing and : singing Varsity”, for some time we find it difficult to change old faithful i for a new one. Changes of old for new are in almost every case changes i for the better. So we are advancing by selecting a new school song. Doubt- ! less, some think that the new song lacks the pep. rhythm and beauty of the old. But are we being fair? Can we really find fault with a song we have heard only once or twice? No. A person must hear a song repeatedly 1 in order to learn to love It. Consider the fact that any song can be made more beautiful by people lifting their voices to its melody. A person’s attitude must change to ac- cept the new tune. One should put the spirit of the old in back of the new in order to rightfully compare the two. We must not draw con- clusions concerning the new song until we have heard it more. New music fits in with a new school building. Charlotte high is getting a new building so why not get a new song also. Changes from old to new are hard to make but no matter how rude the awakening the new is un- doubtedly beat after nil. With the co-operation of every student of Charlotte high school let’s make Alma Mater as well loved as Varsity has been. Be A Winner Probably all of us have noticed the slogan above the stage. A Winner Never Quits and a Quitter Never Wins. We should all bear this in mind and forget phrases as getting by. and last minute cramming.” So let us be alive and alert and make the most of our opportunities of having an education. Think of the expense and effort our parents use to send us to school. Why not give them some reason to believe that their efTorts aren’t fruitless? I- et’s not be slackers, but come out i on top, a winner. Be Boosters Advertising is one of the ch’lef I sources from which the Orange and Black is financed.

Margaret Anne LeRoy Faculty Advisor ....................................Harlan McCall Reporters................................Rest of Journalism Class Sportsmanship Sportsmanship, good and poor, is in evidence every day. Not only is it found at atheletic meets but in school rooms, business places, and in every day contacts. At football, baseball, and basketball games some of us evidently think it is correct to boo the umpires because they happen to make decisions against our team. How many of us feel like cheering an um- pire when he makes a decision for our side How many more of us feel like kicking him when he decides against us? Next time we go to a game let's show everyone that we are good sport . In class rooms we can be good sports by co-operating with our teachers, doing all they ask us and by accepting their decisions. A good sport does not blame the teacher for the low marks he receives after hav- ing neglected his studies. In school, honor and sportsmanship go hand in hand. The good sport is the person who gets the most out of life whether it is in money or friends. Let’s be good sports and get the most out of life. Clubs We all belong to some club! Just think a minute. Isn’t that so? Aren't our live richer because we have out- side interests or hobbles? We. in Char- lotte high school, are very fortunute in having so many different clubs with varied interests. For the scientifically and mechani- cally minded we have the science club with radio and photography divisions. Anyone who likes to travel should belong to the travel club. For our future actors, actresses, playwrights, directors, and property managers the footlighteers is a source of knowledge and fun. The F. F. A. and rural stu- dent's clubs offer many advantages and good times to all who like “the w'de. open spaces.” Some of our na- tional organizations are the Hl-Y, Girl Reserves. Boy and Girl Scouts, and Campfire Girls. So let’s make the most of the clubs to which we belong and be noted for our bigger and better organizations. Our Friend Charlotte's mayor. Cash Beechler, has played an active part in making the activities of our high school a suc- cess. We appreciate his interest and generosity In giving us a free show at his theatre each year at Hallowe'en. This year, because of limited space in the high school, due to construction of the new building. Mr. Beechler has kindly offered us the use of the theatre for assembly programs. We appreciate the value of such a man in the community. Office Holders One of the problems now before the student council is the limitation of the number of offices to be held by a stu- dent during a single year. Previous to this time there has been no termi- nation and as a result some people have held three or four offices of major importance in one year. It is not possible for one so overburdened to spend the necessary time and effort that is required to be a competent leader. This method also results in a monoply by a minor group. If a classman was limited to a cer- tain number of points which would be allotted in accordance to the Import- ance of the office occupied it would permit more members to take part in official capacities. Granting a limit of seven points per year would be an improvement. Allot- Ing four points each for the offices of presidents of classes or clubs and to the secretary of the council; three points for vice presidents, treasurers and secretaries; two points for class aldermen and chairmen of school Activity bodies, such as the chairman if the assembly committee and the Charhian staff. Since a majority of votes is needed to elect a candidate to office, it is only logical to believe that a person who 8 elected to several offices must be he choice of the majority. Thus no reflections should be cast on an In- llvidual for holding more than one fffeial capacity at once. The discussion Is to be continued by the council for this is a question which requires consideration and thought. However, it will probably ’ater become a part of the school con- stitution.

A girl was speaking to Mr. Danger the other day about members of the senior class in the study hall.

That sulphur was too much for her. We dedicate this column to David Jay Dykhouse. YOU TAKE THE HIGH ROAD And I’ll - - -. So goes that old song. We often take many turns In the road but do we know If It Is the right one. Neither you nor I can conscientiously say that we have taken the correct road. But we have the chance to change our course now. utilizing the work and experience of others. Numerous colleges and universities the country over publish literature to better inform us in picking our school and our vocation. An indication of ambition Is the most important di- rection post on the route to success. In the Orange and Blacks to be published In the future, articles will be printed giving Information about Instruction In various schools. Pamph- lets are obtainable In Mr. McCall’s office to further assist us in choosing our vocations. After the third attempt an inter- view was finally obtained irom Marthagene Biggs, noble secretary, active member in four clubs, and un- animously admitted one of C. H. S.'s moat versatile personalities. The hopes, aspirations, likes, and dislikes of Marthagene seem to Just fit her. She states that upon gradual.on she would like to go to Michigan «tute for two years and finish at Ann Arbor. The teaching field attracts her al- though she states that she would rather be a second Jane Adams or something along that line. ’Cali- fornia is the ideal spot for a home,'' says Secretary Biggs, and she should know, having visited there. Wayne King's music holds strong appeal for her and when she attends a movie starring Bob Montgomery or Myrna Doy she feels as though she gets her money's worth. Reading books by David Damson and making fudge are Marthagene's hobbies. Next to fudge, chocolate Ice cream is her favorite food. Her formula for success Is: sm!les, friends, ability, and versality. These characteristics, together with a ready and pleasing personality, have made her one of the most popular girls in the senior class.

These translations were made possibile through the sacrificial work of many. To illustrate his address the Rev- erend Nagel displayed posters and gave the members of the class pamph- lets containing the third chapter of John, the sixteenth verse in twenty- two different languages. It’s a Boy The stork stopped at Superintendent Dykhouse's the other day, and It won't be long before there'll be an- other fellow walking around the school with a jolly smile, saying. “Turn around there. Smith.” We’ll bet that David Jay (that's his name) will be an Eagle Scout when he’s five years old and through school at ten. Mr. Dykhouse was overhead to say soon af.er the arrival of the youngest, “I think I’ll start him in kindergarten before he’s five. That seems so long to wait. Well, best of luck with him Mr. Dykhouse. All he has to do is follow in his father’s footsteps to be one of the city’s best loved men.

Mr. Williams first explained that air as well as water exists in three states; solid, liquid, and gas. Liquid air has the very low temperature of 297 de- grees below zero Fahrenheit. He demonstrated the fact that liquid air can not be kept in a tightly closed container because of the very great expansive power It | ossesses. Mr. WII- Hums caused a miniature steam en- gine to run by means of liquid air After freezing a rubber bull In liquid air it shattered just like an electric light bulb when thrown to the floor. A hammer was produced of mercury by freezing it in a mold with liquid air. He made an alcohol popcicle and a kerosene candle. Perhaps the most unusual of his experiments was cutting a wire screen by meit'ng it, using a cigar dipped in liquid air. as a blow torch. To conclude the program he per- formed the difficult and dangerous experiment of pouring liquid air Into his mouth, using it as a mouth wash.

This is the third year the Charlotte citizens have sponsored such an event and have successfully made Hallowe’en a night of merriment and excitement rather than of lawlessness and destruction. The community is spending a large amount of money and effort in putting this party across and we should deep- ly appreciate it. The people of this city have taken apparent interest in our welfare and wish us to have as much benefit from education and en- tertainment as possible. They are sponsoring an event which should furnish material to write several pages in our diaries. We remember the fine party given us last year and the year before; the one Saturday night is to be even bigger and better. After regarding all these things we should be ready for the party In the highest of spirits and with the at- titude that we want to show our ap- preciation to the community for this rare treat in store for us by doing Just a little bit in return for a whole lot. The Honor Roll There are two goals we are striv- ing to reach. They are: to be on the honor roll, and to go to the honor banquet. The honor roll is posted every marking period. Any student having fourteen points on his report card is eligible. A. B, C, D. count four, three, two, and one. respectively. If we are on the honor roll every marking period we are invited to go to the honor banquet. The honor banquet Is held at the end of the year. After the banquet there is a dance held especially for the honor students. If your name Is not on the honor roll work hard and strive to get on it. if at first you don't succeed try and try again. IN THE SPOTLIGHT College Chimes Ding, dong! Ding, dong! Bells, college bells, recently chimed their song, calling the young men and wo- men of the world to a place where they could enrich their lives with learning. Long ago men learned the value of knowledge and the practical applica- tions they could make of their learn- ing. Probably the greatest aid to edu-1 cation was the invention and use of I writing. The early Egyptian hierogly- phics developed into our present day alphabet and method of preserving our thoughts for future generations. In medieval times the religious recluses kept alive the ancient literature of Rome and Athens. In America our first institutions of high- er learning were Latin schools or acadamles. Our great college . Harvard. Yale. Vassar. William and Mary, are the products and receive the heritage of these early ‘•colleges. Are we going to college? That is a question we must all decide for our- selves. We cannot let our families, friends, and teachers influence our de- j cisions. We should go to college only if we want to go so badly that we cannot stay away and are willing to sacrifice in order to go. said Mr. Dykhouse. This subject requires some serious thought on the part of each one of us. Let’s use our heads and think for our- selves. But regardless of whether we. ourselves, go to college or not. we must always remember that we owe much to our colleges and universities. Delores Bouska is working at the Green Meadows tea room. Mr. Robert Leo Beaubier (known to his public as Bob Bobier) unfolded his lanky height and came dociley to be interviewed, which relieved me immensely. It was a dark rainy day and we curled up in easy chairs back stage while I probed into the past. (O boy) present, and future, of this likable Frenchman. It seems that Bob's granddaddy (or somebody 'way back) came to our fair country from across the ocean (de- finitely not on the Mayflower) in France. Then the romantic Beaubier” was changed to Bobier’’. as It Is now. Perhaps that accounts for his attrac- tion to that country. It cannot be the sweet, feminine, blondes of his adora- tion, at least we don’t think he’d find many there. Enthusiastically our senior friend said his hobby is hunting with his two dogs. Bing and Rex”, and to prove it— I’ve been hunting every day since the season opened! Beat that! Chop suey and hash he just can’t stand, and all mixtures suffer the same verdict. Coming back to the ever present subject of girls. I found that they had better be sweet and feminine to get along wKh Bob (or Leo. us you please). Also the no smoking or drinking blonde is his favorite. Jean Harlow, preferably with the flaxen tresses, is his favorite movie star. To show his popularity among them his classmates recently elected Bob president of the senior class. He is also president of the F. F. A. and vice president of the Hi-Y. Well known for his good humor (he’s almost never angry), versatility, and friend- liness. Bob Bobier has gained an honored place among his many friends. Elith Wonser.

OKAX.K Si BLACK CHARLOTTE DOWNS HIGHLANDERS 48-6 All Scores Made on Long Runs; Second Team Plays in Game In a deluge of flooring featured by lone run , Charlotte defeated Howell Unt Friday by a score of 48-6. The local wasted no time in get- ting started: Dewey ran forty-nine yard for a touchdown in the first ton minute of play. Two other touch down were made in the first half. After a thirty-five yard gain by Put- man. Cheney enabled Toutant to score by galloping forty-five yards. Howell made its lone score in the second quarter after a series of fum- ble by both teams and a penalty on Charlotte. The third quarter opened with a safety against Howell. Other events of this period were a fifty yard run hy Toutant and another score on a twenty-five yard gain by Dewey and completion by Cheney. Cheney opened the last quarter with a thirty yard run for a touch- down.

One lone player runs cautiously forward, gauging the flight of that ball. It drops Into his arms. As if shot by one of the grid fans in the crowd in the background this solitary man explodes into ac- tion. Knees held high, head up, he dashes for the dis- tant goal line, fac- ing a horde of en- emy jerseys. He stops, quickly re- verses his field, twists, turns, pivot , and cuts back until finally downed beneath a mass of players. Eldred Toutant. half-back and safety man. plays the lead in this act many times during every game. His co-operation with the rest of the backfield places him high in the ranks of gridmen. —BEAT E. I.ANBIXG— Wasn’t it exciting to watch the spectacular field work, tricky footwork, and those long, twisting runs behind good interference last Friday?

KROGER’S Hallowe’en Doughnuts 10c Dozen Place Your Orders Early 1------------------------------ Hastings Defeats Charlotte 12-7 Charlotte was downed for their first defeat of the football season last Fri- day, October 17, on the local gridiron. Spectators watched a game that featured a great deal of punting and passing. Both teams gained much yardage and threatened often to score. Dewey starred for the Orange and Black, running the ball for long field gains. No scores were made in the first quarter although Hastings threat- ened. Then early In the second per- iod the opposing eleven plunged through for a touchdown. The at- 'tempt for the extra point failed. Hast- ings again cut loose and in two passe gained forty yards, and again hovered near Charlotte’s goal. Shoe-string tackles seemed to be the style for the local eleven for they spilled Hastings' ball carrier with a number of clean tackles. The half ended 6-0 in favor of Hastings. Then In the third quarter Charlotte began to click, carrying the ball for four successive first downs, gave the ball to Dewey who carried the ball over to tie the score, the extra point was a completed pass over the lines The score was then 7-6 in favor of the locals. Later Hastings ran the pig- skin over the goal line for another touchdown. They again failed to make the extra point. The fourth quarter saw no more scoring hy either team, and the game ended 12-7 in favor of the Hastings' gridders.

Mr. Dempster also displayed numerous samples of announcement cards from which a choice was made. The Mazda lamp company has made an offer to the senior class to sell electric light bulbs to raise money for their senior trip. This ofTer was con- sidered at a meeting of the senior finance committee. Charlotte Orioles are girding them- selves for the annual Armistice day tussle with the Eaton Rapids Island- ers to be played at 2:30 on the Ben- nett park field. Traditional rivalry will be kept alive by the two teams attempting aerial attacks and trick plays. Despite the slight edge given Charlotte by this year's record the following figures place both teams on level ground. 1920 C. H. S. E. 33 R. H.

The slight advantage given the Charlotte squad here is offset by their weakness in pass defense. Eaton Rapids has scored 50 points of her total number on forward passes. These seniors: Ned Bryan. George Collins. Harlo Dewey. Charles Everts. Walter Howe. Raymond Putman. Rob- ert Ray and Donald Roush will be lead- ing the Orange and Black squad for the last grid classic in their high school career. The Charlotte high school band will attend the game in full uniform to en- liven the short interims between quar- ters and during time outs.

The student and public votes! provide some very interesting comparisons on | both the executive offices and the amendments. The votes taken in the various classes of Char-! lotte high show that the students as well as the county did not participate in the huge “landslide for Roosevelt, although the former supported him by a 53% majority. The county went Landon by a .3% margin. Both the school and county preferred Fitzgerald for governor by a little over a 60% majority vote. Perhaps the ex-governor has more friends in this vicinity than the Detroiter. Mr. Murphy. The third and fourth amendments, directly con- cerning the school very much, supplied strategic considerations. They were both rejected by the student body with 85% and 91% majority votes respectively. However, this is not as interesting as the fact that in Mr. Van Vessem’s five history and civic classes, where the amendments were extensively discussed, only four voted yes on number four and thirteen on number three. In Mr. Hynes class, where they were voted on with- out any discussion. 55% voted yes on number three and 38% yes on number four. This shows that one must do more than merely touch the sur- face when considering an important amendment like the elimination of the property tax. The first amendment passed in the school by an 80% majority while the second was nearly a tie. Seven of the student voters voted a straight Socialist ticket and the Communist party and the “Third Party” each received one vote. Armistice Day Eighteen years ago today on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month the world was at peace once more. After four years of fighting the battlefields were silent. Men and woman Wara laughing with tears rolling down their cheeks: rejoicing because the war was over The Armistice had been signed between Germany and the Allies. Seven and one half million men sacrificed their lives because of the struggle between “Liberty and Imperialism”. Hospitals took seven million more, who will go through life handicapped by crippled minds and bodies. Have these men fought and fallen in vain, or will we abide by the lesson taught us during that last war? ----0---- Education Week We celebrate Armistice day because it gave us peace after a long war. American Education Week Is celebrated one week each year to magnify the schools for developing the finer values of ourj civilization. American Education Week is world wide. The ideal of American education as stated by Presi- dent Roosevelt is “An opportunity for all of our people to obtain the education that will best fit them for their life work and their responsibilities as citizens.” American Education Week is to be observed for the week beginning November 9. ----0---- Snake Charmer Much gurgling and ado came from the biology room the other day, sixth hour. So much in fact that our worthy monitor rushed to the scene to see what was causing the excitement and din. The class was composed almost entirely of girls with the exception of one boy. The dashing young gentleman became quite a hero when the pet snake which was on the teacher's desk escaped and being detected made for the waste basket. After decid- ing which end was the tail, our hero deposited the disturber of the peace back into his cell. You Take The High Road In the year 1849 the Michigan State Agricultural Society was organized in Lansing, but it was not until 1855 thut the present site of Michigan state college was purchased. The college is situated about three miles from Lansing, the state capital. The progress of the college was slow for many years, but since 1924, when a liberal arts course was also offered there, the development has been rapid. Wells Hall, men's dormitory at Michigan state, is reserved for freshmen. All male students who do not live at this dormitory are required to live In rooms approved by the Housing Director for Men. Freshmen women are required to live in one of the three dormitories, but these dormitories are also open to upperclass women. Upperclass women who do not live on the campus must live in ap- proved rooming houses. The cost of room and board for women Is higher than for men. though not excessive. To enter Michigan state, a graduate of an ac- credited four year high school must have a mini- mum of fifteen credits consisting of at least two major sequences. Applicants who have not grad- uated from high school, or an accredited high school must pass an examination. Originally the school was an agricultural col- lege but a department of mechanic arts, division of home economics, veterinary science, applied science, a liberal arts course, and many others have been added to the curriculum. To be a graduate of any of the courses of Mich- igan state college is a recommendation. IN THE SPOTLIGHT When I finally managed to corner this very busy and charming girl, she just looked up at me and rolled her big brown eyes. After some induce- ment on my part she started to tell me all about herself. It was a very pleasant bit of talk, half nonsense and half the deeper wisdom of her sixteen years. It seems that next June Patricia Anne Higbv is going to put on her senior cap and gown, which she says she thinks she will like very much be- cause it will make her look, oh. so very dignified, and march forward to get her diploma. Next Sep- tember she plans to enroll at Michigan state col- lege. and enter Into the deep study of commercial art and physical education. She wants to be a great artist some day and she is studying art this year in school. I will draw anyone's picture. she said, for one dollar. Pat likes to do all sorts of pleasant things such as swimming, hiking, eating ice cream which is her favorite dish, and playing the clarinet in the high school band. She abhors washing dishes but she likes spinach. Her most embarrassing experi- ence was the terrible moment when she found her- self falling through a hole in the cot on which she was sleeping. Pat is quite a mathematician. She mentioned confidentially that she counted twelve bald-headed men in church one Sunday morning. She generally counts the women wearing black hats. too. Seri- ously. though, she is business manager on the Charhian staff and that Is an Important position. Also she is a member of dramatics club, a good student, and a most delightful person. She likes to dance and she is a very skilled driver—just ask anyone who has ridden with her. “I am a Repub- lican. she stated emphatically, as 1 left her. so you know what she thinks about the election. 0---- Do You Know— The ghost song? “Haunting Me.” The shadow song?

Here and There Beware of the big dusty canvas in the doorway of the new hall lest It fall back and slap thee |n the face. There have been some near tragedies here. Dignified seniors barely escape being rudely bumped by freshies running pell mell on the other side. One student found that ladders have singu larly hard ends. Have ye noticed Sam Combs’ perfect passion for politics? He has been in the clouds since the elec- lion. We nominate Sam future (?) democratic campaigner. Did ye hear about the journalism students writing that a group of girls Judged the Halloween costumes of the Hawthorne students? It seems the group of girls consisted of Donald Richey. Eva Jeane Kiplinger. and Mr. Dykhouse. Well, if thee will be good little boys und girl I I'll be back In a flash! With a flush! Until Thursday. November 25. cheerio! In other words: So-o-olong until — the next time. ——o------ The Public Forum The following people were interviewed the day of election before the returns were known. Com- pare their answers with the results. The question asked each one was. Who do you think will win the presidential election? —Marthagene Biggs: I think Landon will, with- out a doubt! —John Collin: I andon won't get over two hun- dred electoral votes, so Roosevelt will win! — Chuck Everts: I think Roosevelt will win 'cause Tullls and I voted for him.” P. S. Max Tul- lis says he is for Landon. — Bob Bobier: If Roosevelt doesn't win the country will go to the dogs! —Adelaide DuBols: I andon! The man of the people! Margaret Anne LeRoy: I want I andon ’cause he’s better looking! —Jimmy Bill Frace: Roosevelt, of course! —Gail Cheney: “Landon. because we need u change! —Harlo Dewey: Landon is better fitted for the job!” Sam Combs: Roosevelt is the first man we've had in a thousand years who has done anything! Don Roush: It doesn't make any difference to me. One man is as good as another as far as I'm concerned! Highlights of the New School It’s a beautiful building. said Mr. Dykhouse. when asked what he thought of the new school. Of course that’s what we all think. It won't be long before we’ll be making use of those new black boards and bulletin boards that are going up now. The shops are finished and soon we’ll be hearing i noises from their direction, made by our promising mechanics. The wiring is being pul In ao well I not be completely In the dark, and we’ll have 1 plenty of fresh air, for men are busy on the win- dows. Soon the girls will have a new. freshly painted locker room even If the gym isn't avail ; able yet. A base for a flag pole has been set and a flag will add a lot to the attractive front of our new school. Who Studies? Girls study more than boys do! This is a startling statement but is not without proof. I ist Tuesday afternoon, after school was dismissed a crowd of people was noticed scurrying for the door. Forty-five girls with books under their arms, while only nine boys were seen to be thus engaged. This alone proves that girls are more studious than boys. According to all available records there are nearly four times as many subjects failed by boys as by the girls! Therefore girls are not so much more intelli- gent than boys, but boys are more apt to be unwill- ing to study. It is up to the boys of the school to change the statistics presented against them. ----o---- Miami.

A BLACK Pure AERIAL OFFENSIVE DEFEATS ORIOLES Trojans Remain Undefeated In Central Six Race For Conference Title Only after a stubborn hard-fought contest were the Orioles outscored two weeks ago Friday when the locals Hiid Fast loosing entangled on the latter's gridiron. Fighting like demons, Charlotte matched the Trojans in the first quar- ter of play. Battling back and forth, pounding and tearing at each other they fought a scoreless quarter. The second quarter found the locals unable to cope with the aerial attack that the Lansing eleven launched up- on them A short pass of four yards placed the hall in possession of Fast ijinsing. on Charlotte's fifteen yard marker Then a muffed triple lateral lost thirteen yards for the Trojans. In the next play the right half back of the tansing gridders shot a pass to the right end. Van Haltern. who was waiting in the end zone to complete the touchdown play. Another touch- down was made by Anderson of East Lansing on a long pass and a scoring line plunge. The haif ended with the score 12-0 m l.tvor nf the opposing team. In tin the third quarter Fast Lansing again used its running attack, mnrching down the field for another touchdown mad' by Anderson. The extra point was completed. Charlotte rallied in the last of the third to take the ball to the enemy’s four yard line by a suc- cessful pass from Putman to Bryan and a series of short passes. The whistle ended the third quarter with the Orange and Black in possession of the ball on Fast I ansing's four yard marker. In the fourth. Dewey plunged thru I the line for Charlotte's lone touch-1 down. Collins snagged a clean spir- aling pass from Putman for the extra point This made the score 19-7. The Trojans now took the ball down to the locals four yard and I eighton. right half, scored on the third down. The try for extra point failed. The game ended with the score 25-7 in favor of Katon Lansing. Cricle Feathers This afternoon all steps turn to the south. Why the south? A football gurne is to be played. Who is to play? Our own Orioles will pool their efforts to vanquish the Katon Kapids Island- ers. The action of the teams on the gridiron, the band's show between halves, and the roaring of the crowd should he a thrilling climax for an Armistice day celebration. Beat Eaton Rapids While waiting for the starting gun to sound for the kick off today, have you ! een thinking of our team's past record?

Here's the plan. We'll watch the entire team and not just the hall carrier. The ball is snapped on a signal calling for an end run. The halflmck receives the ball and slants toward the side lines. A tackier looms but he disappears as the runner cuts hack and dashes for a . . . Wait a second, that isn’t our plan. We're going to watch the line and keep a wary eye on that man ahead of the ball carrier. That play- er ahead made the prospective tackier disappear with a clean block.

Although she knew almost no foreign language. Miss Westaby. went to school and by being in direct con- tact with foreigners all the time, she soon was able to make herself under- stood.

Faculty Advisor Reporters ■ ■ ■ o Parish McCall Class Should Youth Be Armed With Guns, or With Understanding? Today, m Italy and in Germany, many companies of soldiers are maue up of boys uetween the ages of nine and eighteen. Tney are being taught to love the glory of naule, the sound of urums, and the roar of tne cannon, they dr. 11; they march; they work; someday they will kill. They are boys now with the thrill of victory stamped on their minds. They are excited wiji new uniforms and brass buttons and a real gun to carry and shoot, it is all a haze of glory to them now. but wait! SomeJay. maybe soon, they will be lying in a trench, a muddy, filthy trench, and the uniform will be grease and gr.mc. The brass buttons will be scratched, marred, and lost. These guns will be fired to kill boys of their own age. Boys who didn’t understand that horror , came with glory. Boys who didn’t understand that their best friends would fall bleeding ut their feet. No one told them that part. No one told them of the shrieks of dying men and of broken spirits and tortured minds. Ah. no. they didn t understand. After everything was over they would go back. Go back alone and leave shell-torn, pitiful bodies behind them. When they reached home the bands would play, people would cheer, pat them on the back and admire them, but back on that battle fleld would be bodies. Bodies. They were young, fighting heroes, too. Now they were just broken bodies. Nothing can erase the memories of that. Why not educate those same boys to understand the grim, horrible meaning of war. In place of a gun give them the love of their fellow men. Give them happiness, contentment and understanding and not a uniform and brass buttons. Wars can't be stopped If the youth of the nation doesn’t know what it is all about. You can't bring peace and friendship between nations by shoving guns into the hands of infants. And you can’t bring peace until those same infants know what it is all about. It is up to the youth of the nation to stop and think. Then and only then will nations be friends. ----------------------o---- Thanksgiving For a long, long year the Pilgrims of the Ply- mouth colony had struggled on. They had worked, prayed, fought, hoped, and pitted the.r strength against the wilderness they had chosen for their home. At last the first harvest was stored away in the barns. They were secure for the winter. Their hearts content, the little company was glad when Governor Bradford declared a day of public praise and prayer in the colony. And so the day. the climax of a year of endeivor was spent in praise and feasting with neighboring Indians. Our national Thanksgiving day had been en- dowed with the spirit of this first real thanksgiving. It has been carried through three centuries, mashed by gaiety sometimes, to be sure, but still there. Deep in our hearts we give thanks for our blessings to the Giver of them all. ----o---- In Appreciation A Bell Lyra has recently been purchased for the high school band. This instrument is an im- portant and colorful addition to our hand. Few high school bands have a Bell Lyra. We are very fortunate to have this Instrument whose sweet tones can be heard from a great distance. Mr. Clyde Fulton bought this rather expensive Instru- ment for Jerry” Fulton to play. It was a gener- ous gesture which the entire school can appreciate for many seasons to come. GRANGE A BLACK Here and There Blair McKenzie.

Men students room in fraternities or private homes. All women students not residing in Albion are required to live in the dormitories—Susanna Wesley Hall or Dean Hall. There are four sorority lodges 3nd six fraternity houses. The college also has seven honor societies. Expenses for women students are slightly higher than for men. If necessary, students may arrange to pay tuition and expenses in four eiual monthly installments. A general fee covers the use of the library, athletic field, tennis courts, admis- sion to games, concerts, and lectures. To enter Albion college, graduates of accredited high schools must have completed fifteen units of work consisting of at least two major and two minor sequences. In order that the right relationship may be established between students and the institution, each freshman is placed under the guidance of a professor. Albion college Issues several scholarships to worthy students. There are also loan funds from which students may borrow. ----o---- Corn on the eir is worth two on the feet.— W. S. T. C. Herald.

Highlights of the New School January 23. 1937, is the approximate dale that the new Churlotle high school building will be ready for occupancy. The three-story, red brick building, with its wide corridors, large pleasant rooms, spacious auditor- ium. and gymnasium, is rapidly moving toward completion. With the exception of the auditorium, which is well underway, the plastering has reached its final stage. The two hundred and eighty-five corridor lockers will accommodate five hundred and seventy students, thereby eliminating the in- convenience of our present cloak room system. The lockers are full size and are inlaid along the walls of the terrazzo corridors. The halls are of tile with an attractive mat finish. The library, which promises to be one of the outstanding fea- tures of the school. Is located on the third floor. The up-to-date methods of stage lighting will he part of the equipment to be used in the auditorium, which Is combined with the gymnasium. A sixty- eight foot door operated automatically can be used to separate the two rooms. Mr. Mead and his classes will soon be able to use the new shop at the east end of the building. The walls of the auditorium and music room have been plastered with a special sound proof plaster, so that sounds will not penetrate to other rooms. Telephones will be Installed. The school was supposed to have been completed December 15. 1936, but be- cause the materials were not available it will take a longer time to complete the work. ----o---- r————— —————— Jest for Pun- cari, Payne in the neck.

J IN THE SPOTLIGHT This ambitious young gentleman was finally cornered in the journalism room, where he told about himself and the interesting things that he has done. Howard Bond is rather short, has dark curly hair and dark brown eyes, wears glasses, and weighs about one-hundred and thirty pounds. Hts ambition is to become a pharmacist because he has worked in the drug store for several years and likes that type of work. Howard is a yell leader and the drum major, excelling in both. The food that he likes best Is a nice Juicy hamburger with pickles. Football ranks highest of all sports with Howard. His greatest ambition is to lead the band someplace and have no one kick about It. Howard's most thrilling experience was when he wns going out west In an airplane which, he thought, had to make a forced landing, but actually was Just landing to pick up another passenger. The type of person Howard de'ests most is a I two-faced person with a one track mind. His glasses are his greatest worry because he must wear n guard over them when he plays basket ball. He has hopes of making the varsity team this year. His most embarrassing moment was when he was imitating a boy returning home with his i report card and when he yelled mother Mrs. Higby looked out of the window at him. Howard wants to specialize in the advertising department of journalism so that he can advertise his products properly when he someday owns a drug store. He Is going to the University of Michigan when he has completed this course. A minor ambition of his is to be able to do something with plenty of time In which to do it. We feel that Howard Is sure to succeed in whatever he undertakes.

Fifty-three flags were unfurled and 10,000 pigeons were re- leased to carry messages of the games to all the nations of Europe. The speaker said that the sportsmanship of the games was of the best.

Gabriels, pastor of the church of the Resurrection in Lansing, will be the guest speaker in assembly. Wednesday. December 9. H'.s speech will deal with Russia, where he recently spent eight weeks. Reverend Gabriels is a widely known pastor and a noted traveler, having spent many of his summers abroad. His appearance in assembly is be- ing sponsored by the Bible study class of Charlotte high school. To Red ford High As an assignment iu composition 11 in the Bedford high school of Detroit, it is compulsory that each student write a letter to some persou unknown to him. This year it was suggested by one of the pupils who spends his summers near Charlotte to send the letters to a group of students in the Charlotte high school. Mitt Winifred Wells received the letters, thirty-eight in all. Her com- position 11 classes have answered them. Much information about the school was gained from reading them. Bedford high is the smallest school in Detroit having only 2200 students. The school was built to accommodate only 900. so as a result the older pupils attend school in the morning and the younger pupils in the afternoon. The athletics department is popular with a cross country track team, a golf team, and a hockey team as well as the football team. Soon they in- tend to erect a new building with a swimming pool. The school parties which are simi- lar to the student mixers are spon- sored by the different clubs. Their school orchestra plays for all school parties. The school paper is The Outpost”. A. C. Pennock, the l oy who sug- gested that the class write to the Char- lotte high school, is the son of Joseph F. Pennock. a former graduate of Char- lotte high in 1909 and a teacher here In 1914. Everyone should have a hobby to furnish enjoyment, and useful knowl- edge. Hobbies keep young minds occu- pied. Not only are people drawn closer together under a common bond of in- terest but hobbies often result in the selection of the life work of the participants. Each one probably has a hobby of his own. Some people collect stamps, and others crave autographs. What ever it Is. a hobby is the thing to have. Boy Scouts Attend Game at Ann Arbor Some of the boys in troop 46. under the leadership of Charles Smallwood, witnessed the football game at Ann Arbor, Saturday.

Friday. Dec. Putman started the scoring with Collin following to give Charlotte a 4-0 lead The Oriole outplayed East I-ansing in the first quarter with slow and accurate passing plays befuddling the East Lansing quintet. The Tro- jan came back in the second quarter to score 5 points to one lone Charlotte basket. East 1-anslng played a fast game, shooting from all angles of the floor, most of which were wild, while the Oriole played a careful defensive | game The half ended 6-5 In favor of Charlotte. East I-ansing topped Charlotte only twice during the game, once 7-6 and again 9-8. The Orioles «cored 7 point to the Trojans 5 In the third quarter to increase their lead. Collins and Dewey netted long shots with deadly accuracy throughout the game. In the last quarter with the score 20-10 and three minute to play the Trojans dropped three baskets. The game ended thus. 20-16. East Lansing fought desperately in the last quarter to overcome the Orioles lead but their shooting was harrassed by a Charlotte defense that clicked. Robert I-add. al- though scoring only one basket shows great promise for the future. Collins took high point honors for Charlotte with nine points while Bll s and Staf- seth scored seven apiece for the Tro- jan This is the first time in a num- ber of years that Charlotte has beaten the Trojans In basketball.

The morning sun even managed to pry its way into a dingy garret. It crept into corners making a desperate attempt to dispel the gloom which prevailed in the room. As it crept over the tiny space, the sun’s golden fingers picked out pictures on a wall—pictures of a beautiful woman, a young man, a baby. It searched out a trundle bed and glided on to meet a cracked, smudged wall. Old Sol wandered over meagre articles of furniture until his rays touched a downcast, tousled head, a worn little frame with trembling shoulders and a clawlike hand grasping a wee stocking, containing nothing more than clumsily mended holes. That head had been up-lifted only a few hours before. A faint voice had prayed, “Please let him come this year—you know he forgot last time.” A tiny stocking had been carefully hung at the foot of an almost coverless bed. A slight body climbed on to a mattress of straw, to sleep peacefully, dreaming of reindeers in the sky. of warm clothes, of hot food, of toys, and of a myriad of things including a fat jolly mail, dressed in red and white. Maybe Santa Claus was too busy this year. Perhaps he ran out of toys or it might have been that he just failed to notice the light of a flickering candle that shown from a cracked, patched garret window, into the starry night. What ever happened one little mind could not understand, one little brain could not comprehend, and one little boy lost faith. The day of days dawned bright and clear—it did not remain this wav, though. For some reason the sun was hidden and the sky over- cast. People in their warm, cheery, comfortable homes sat before flickering grate fires. One of these fortunates said, “What a horrible day! We never have anything we want.” T Following a detailed discussion held last Thursday, the dramatics club de- cided to produce a motion picture. No definite date was set when work on the movie would begin although Wen- dell Anderson, advisor of the photog- raphy division of the science club con- sented to film the scenes and also gave estimates to the club on the costs of production. In producing a motion pic- ture the club will be able to study practically all phases of acting and casting. Voice and facial expressions were the topics of study for the program planned by Pat lllgby and Audrey Cox. The club criticized a play Tea Leaves which was presented before the group by the junior dramatics club. Those who took part In the play were Lynn Fowler. Eleanor Raymond. Bob Rauser. Vada Miller and Wilma Barnes. Members of both organiza- tions demonstrated various methods in which one word could be made to mean several things by voice and facial expression. Building Dedication To assist at the dedication of the new school a pageant will be presented un- der the direction of the footlighteers and the junior dramatics club. Char- acter and the qualities of citizenship, personality, health, vocations, social life, knowledge and morality, which go Into its make-up will be the theme of the pageant. The committees appoint- ed are: senior dramatics club. Pat Higby. Catherine Durner. Alice Jo Oldt, Bob Taylor and Jane Peters. Junior dramatics club. Eleanor Ray- mond. Wilma Barnes. Bill Stickroe and Lynn Fowler. Rosemary Fielder and Mary Maxine Richey have charge of the program for the next meeting. F. F. A.

Sixteen Orioles Receive Letters Coach Malcolm Gobel awarded let- ters to sixteen grid players in the as- sembly last Wednesday. In place of the usual cloth letters, metal trophies were awarded to thost- seniors who already had one football letter. Those receiving these were Ned Bryan. Harlo Dewey. Walter Howe. Raymond Putman.

Coach Go be I states that there will be plenty of line vacancies next year and excellent opportunities for those interested In working for a line posi- tion. St. Johns will probably replace East Lansing on our next year’s schedule. Charhlan sales will start the week following Christmas. This year the annual will have a different type of cover than usual. It is expected that It will be more modernistic and will have a type of binding known as “plas- tic . This is a new binding and will add much to the cover. The page used for senior descriptions will be changed to something of general interest. An assembly will be held soon after vacation to tell the lower classmen something about the Charhlan. The school students voted to raise the price of the book from $.75 to $1.00 in order that a better book may be put out. $.50 will be paid early in the new year and the remaining $.50 will be added when the book comes out in June. l'ace 2 ORAXCiE HI.AUK 10)0- V 0 THE ORANGE AM) BLACK Published Bi-weekly by the Journalism Classes of Charlotte High School Circulation. 550 Subscription Rates. $.75 Quill and Scroll International First Place Award '35-’36 STAFF EXECUTIVE BOARD Publisher......................Douglas Reister Managing Editor....................Howard Bond Editor-In-Chief...................Dorothy Rann Business Manager......................Catherine Darner Advertising Manager.......................Blake Pariah Faculty Advisor..........................Harlan McCall Reporters......................Journalism Class Do You Believe in Santa Claus? When you don't believe in Santa Claus any more it rather takes a certain thrill from Christmas, doesn't it? Things aren't so mystically colored, so glamorous, so awe-inspiring as they used to be. You wonder how children can be so innocent and believing when there’s a different Santa Claus on every corner. You read The Night Before Christ- mas” with a faint trace of scorn and contempt and yet. underlying it all. there’s a stronger trace of envy for the childhood you’ve left behind you. May- be you think it isn’t fair to be so disillusioned when you reach a certain age. Perhaps not. but you have a bigger job now. You have a chance to brighten the lives of others Just as they did for you In that childhood a few years past. Happiness isn't all in the receiving of gifts, you know. It's fun to be remembered by all of your friends. No one can deny that. But isn't It Just as much fun to know that you're spreading the good old Christmas spirit by giving as well as receiving? In your neighborhood today, perhaps you know of a child, who instead of being disillusioned about St. Nicholas as you were, will wake up on the morning of December 25 and find a shabby, limp stocking hanging where he put it the night before—empty. Think of the silence, the tortured eyes, the heart- breaking sobs, that arould follow such a discovery. Nothing could ever erase the memory of such a morning from the heart of any child. That child would be old in spirit long before the years rolled by. It isn’t so much fun to find out the truth of things by accidental discovery. It's a hurt that even time does not blot out. Are you going to let some child's happy childhood memories bo ruined simply because all men today aren’t created equal? Your job is cut out for you. Don't fail. Make some one child happy with a gift or two and remember, half of your Joy in receiving will depend upon what yon give! ----0--- New Year Happy New Year is a phrase heard moat fre- quently at this time of the year. Everyone seems to be wishing that everyone else will have a pros- perous New Year. Leap year Is drawing to a close, leaving behind a bevy of timid maidens alone and forsaken on the sands of time. But weep not gentle sisters, in another four years the time will come again when you can show your talents in the great game of man-hunting. Everybody's doing it. even the G-men and Canadian mounties but they are hunting men for another reason. With tinkling, and clanging bells we welcome the new year. Horns blare and snaky yards of serpentine slither in and out among the funsters. Balloons of bright hues float on the air for a brief second before they explode like tiny Innuba under pressure. The Old Year looks on with tears in his eyes comforted only by memories of gaiety, which accompanied his ascent to the throne. Now he passes on to Join his brothers who have gone before. Dancing, midnight parties, and theater parties lend their aid in making the night a festive occasion. Everybody makes resolutions because they are so much fun to break. -o ■ ■■ Our Club Officers Do just a few students in the high school hold all of the offices in clubs and classes? The student council has decided to And out what the student hotly thinks on this subject. Some lime next semester it will hold a poll so the stu- dents may vote on a system the council has worked out. According to this system a student would be allowed to hold only enough offices to gain six points. Being mayor or secretary of the council would count four points; president of a major club or class, three; secretary or treasurer, two; and other offices accordingly. When interviewed on the subject, the following people gave these opinions: Max Tullis: I think that's a good idea. It helps the rest of the stu- dents. One person won’t be getting all the credit. Kathryn Willis: I think it would be a good idea to pass it around and give everyone a chance. Clare Weaver: I think it’s a good idea because otherwise certain people get all the offices, and it isn’t fair.” Robert Bush: “A person should not be loaded with too much work, but I think this is too limited because it may result in inferior officers. Dorothy Bouska: I don’t think one should hold over two offices. With your school work It is too much. Margaret Anne LeRoy: I think It is a good idea. The way it Is now some people hold all the offices. There are others Just as capable. Social Education A Plea For Safety To Reckless People The sunny and crisp days of autumn have been replaced by the long, gray days of winter. The bi-ways, boulevards, and streets have become a glassy surface of ice. The Christmas season is nearing and the traffic of the nation will increase. There will be a countless number of fatal accidents. People will be killed, some injured, and some will go unharmed. The roads being slippery, some accidents can not be avoided, but a great number result from carelessness on the part of the driver or the pedes- trian that is going to and from his tasks. If either w’ould show consideration of the other fellow, many accidents could be avoided. Let us obey the simple traffic laws and consider the man that is crossing the street, and make the season of good feeling toward our fellow men happy, not a day of bloodshed and mourning. Second in importance to literary education in public schools, comes social education, that is, the cultivation of profitable social relationships among students. The importance of this is quite apparent when one considers the difficulties of a shy person in society with which he is not familiar. Business also demands social ease. Obviously, this can only be accomplished by consistent practice. It is, and should be. one of the purposes of the school to stimulate and direct these relations. Extra-curricular activities in this school greatly contribute to this cause. In addition to special organizations as the drnmatics and travel clubs, groups have been organized to accompany specific school courses. The science and French clubs arc examples. These also add to the Interest in the course. For religious phases of social life, mem- bership to the Hi-Y or Girl Reserves is offered; for athletics, the “C” club. Gratitude should be ex- pressed by the students for these advantages.

Wallace, resident engineer inspector of the in- spection division of the Public Works Adminis- tration. The building should be ready for occupation by the beginning of next semester, but because certain materials have not yet arrived the work may be delayed. The heating system, plumbing, and ventilation are ready to be put in use. while the floor of the gym is only partly finished, as workmen are waiting to receive the stage equip- ment before laying the rest of the floor. You Take The High Road Founded in 1842 the University of Notre Dame has risen until it is one of the outstanding schools of learning in the United States. Its foundation was the result of the missionary zeal of the Rever- end Edward Frederick Sorin. C. S. A., who with the help of six other members of a French religious community set out to establish a college with a capital of four hundred dollars, which had to be completed within two years. Despite many diffi- culties and personal hardships, this school was completed and had a number of students enrolled l efore the specific time. The little community soon expanded with the help of friends and other members of the Congregation, who came to Amer- ica from France. Since, it has been recognized and now the University which Is directly north of the city of South Bend occupies a campus of twelve hundred acres, including two small lakes, each about twenty-four acres in area. Some thirty buildings grouped around a quadrangle are used for University purposes, while east of the campus are the recreation grounds and the Notre Dame sta- dium. which can accommodate sixty thousand spectators. The four libraries accessible to students con- tain two hundred and twenty-five thousand volumes. Entertainments consist of concerts, recitals, in the Washington Hall, a good talking picture each week, social affairs conducted by the Knights of Colum- bus. state and city clubs and other organizations. A j University hand, orchestra, and glee clubs are open to those talented In that line. Notre Dame is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary schools and is on the ap- proved list of colleges and universities of the Asso- ciation of Amorican Universities. “In Scarlet and Plain Clothes” In Scarlet and Plain Clothes by Thomas Mor- ris Longstreth is an informal, semi-fiction history of the Canadian Mounted Police.

The reader flndH it easy to Imagine himself as actually a character who lived at the time of the heroes in the book.

On the short end of a 30-18 scor Charlotte lost to Hastings in the sec- j ond game of the season. The duel was held in the Hastings gymnasium last Friday. The Orioles got off to a slow star in the opening minutes of the game by letting Hastings pile up a two bas- ket lead. 1-ater in the first period Charlotte tied the score and positions alternated for the remainder of the half with Hastings four points to the good at the gun. In the third quarter Hastings re- linquished her lead but once and con- tinued to stack up baskets In the final period. The game ended with Hast- ings topping Charlotte by 12 points. Collins was high point man for Char- lotte with eight points, while Glad- stone and St ruble made 13 and 10 points respectively. The second team was defeated by a score of 23-8. The line-up: Charlotte Victorious Over Mason High in Past Two Years One of the season’s basketball thrill- ers will be played tomorrow night when the Orioles meet Mason high in the gymnasium of the latter school. A double victory has been scored by Charlotte over Mason during each of the last two seasons: the scores of last year were 20-8 and 23-14. The year previous to this, the teams divided laurels. However, Mason has a com- paratively strong cage team this year. Four veterans have returned for ser- vice with Bullen and Youngs being the spark plugs” in the line-up. In their first game of the season, the blue and maroon team defeated St. Johns 14-13. The Orioles have also made an excellent showing by turning back East Lansing in their opener. The contest promises to be an out- standing event with both teams close- ly matched. ’’harlotte Hastings Putman LF Struble Ladd RF Gladstone Collins C Cook Toutant I G Angel Dewey RG Ransor Packaid’s Furniture HOME OUTFITTERS Low Prices Easy Terms Phone 328 We Use Soft Water Exclusively Which Means Longer Life for Your Linens.

Gabriels spoke on his recent 12.000 mile cruise to Iceland, Norway. Sweden, Russia and Greenland. The cruise lasted over a period of forty-two dnys. Father Gabriels stated that the boat was complete with bridge, and danc- ing teachers as well as six gigolos | who were graduates of the University of Virginia. Of the 497 passengers on the ship all but six or seven agreed that Russia was “a terrible place.” Opinions of Russia differ because of the different point of view taken by people. remarked Father Gabriels.

December 5 It was decided at this meeting to hol i a solo and ensemble, or a band and orchestra festival in Albion, for all the schools in this district, sometime next spring.

As all their smart men wore dead they had to go to America. England and other countries to get their arch- itects and builders. The main ques- tion in Russia today, according to Father Gabriels. Is. How can we get people to work as hard for the state as they used to when they worked for themselves?” The answer to this question lies In the fact that the Rus- sian government now is thinking of returning the country to private own- ership as It once was.

Blake Parish Advertising Manager..................Audrey Cox Starting Over Next semester when we move into the new school most students will start new subjects and some will not. However, whether you continue with the old or begin with the new why not turn over a new leaf? If you are capable of getting A’s and B's why not do it? A little hard work now will pay big dividends later. In not do.ng your best you are not only unfair to yourself but to your classmates as well. Some classes are behind schedule because a few students in the class, who had no ambition to proceed on their own initiative, have taken valuable class time to have simple things explained to them. The new building in Itself should prove an in- spiration to many to try to raise their pe.'sor.al standard to meet those set by students w'ho are at the top of the honor roll. Skating One of our greatest winter sports is now in full swing. Weather permitting, large crowds of folks flock to the river at Bennett Park, others to ponds to get their share of bumps, bruises, and cuts. The more experienced and Hardened skaters play a game called hockey. Amid flying sticks and entangled legs they strive to knock a small puck through the opponents goal. Charlotte is very fortunate in having a rink right back of the high school every year. This year due to uncertain weather the pond hasn t been flooded ns yet. but now from all indications it shouldn't be long before It can be. So when the wind whistles from the cold, cold north, and the water freezes, we’ll be seeing you. Growth of the High School Perhaps it seems hard for us to believe, now that we are getting a new high school that the first high school in the United States was not establish. ! until 1821 in Boston. This school was rather meager. The only language taught was English in addition to such subjects as declamation, science, mathe- matics, history, and logic. The aim of the school was quite practical and not so different from ours today. In brief, it was to fit the student for active public life. Development even in America of the high school was slow, and until about 1840 not more than a dozen had been established in each of the States. In 1872 the city of Kalamazoo, one of the first cities In Michigan to have a high school, voted to build a high school, to employ a superintendent, and to levy additional taxes to cover the expense. Some people opposed this and one citizen by the name of Stuart brought suit against the city to prevent the collection of the taxes. The Supreme Court decided in favor of the city and school. This decision was one of the mile-stones in the establish- ment of the public high school. Now scarcely a village is without a high school. The grind for free education through the high school was a long bitter fight, for the rich thought that only they should have a higher education. ■Why throw away the privileges of being able to qualify ourselves for a better livelihood through the medium of our own high school. Make the most of all the advantages that are offered here In order that education will continue to flourish. The girls in Dearborn high school are making blouses of ten cent store, twenty-five cent table- cloths. The Hi-Room Clock You Take the High Road Tick-tock. tick-tock; but no clock. What has happened to tne see all. hear all of the hi-room? Twas 'taken «own to be replaced by a new. modern, silent one. It seems that the old pendeium style clock has gone out with the new school and equipment. Remaps we would all be able to do belter work if we forgot aooui time. We all find it difficult to get anything done with one eye or ear on what is before us and the other on the clock. Does anyone know' w'hen the old standby, that foretold the hour for so long was purchased? One authority on the suoject thought that it was installed at the time the new addition was built in 1914. If this is the case, once upon a time the clock was not old-fashioned, and so. it is with all things. Everything has a definite Job and a.ter It is completed It is discarded aud replaced by the new. it makes one rather dubious about many things, but wou.du't life be monotonous with nothing changing? Therefore, accept the new uumencal fate in the hi-room as part of the inevitable. Here and There Now that exams are beginning, hold your breath and plunge .... Here we go ... .

In the days that Civil War divided this country, an educational philanthropist founded this girls' institution, which today |8 looked upon as the number one school for girls in the United States. Vassar college, one of the oldest and best known women's colleges, was founded at Poughkeepsie, : New York, in 1861. There are forty buildings on i the college campus, which with the 675 acre faint and athletic field covers 900 acres. At the present I time four more buildings are in the course of I construction. This college has some of the most excellent scientific equipment in the United States, and ulso offers an unusual course in Authenics. The library contains 148.000 volumes. Vassar is one of the few colleges which has an out-door theater. Fifteen units are required for entrance. The A. B. and A. M. degrees are conferred upon graduation the same as at other colleges. Tuition, board and room are $1,000 yearly. The college gives scholarships, sponsors loan funds and offers many opportunities for employment. Because of the splendid personnel, research, and vocational bureaus for helping students find their right place in and out of college, this college is rated as an outstanding school for women.

Harlo expects to work regularly In the A P store as soon as he graduates at the end of this semester. His favorite hobby is sports. He has been a member of both the football team, playing full- back. and of the basketball team, playing guard for the last four years. Harlo holds a total of fourteen major letters. Fishing and hunting are some of his other hobbies. One of his favorite past-times is dodging composition class. Harlo says that girls are all right, especially small ones. They are lots of fun, he states. But he doesn't like girls who drink. Chicken, mashed potatoes, and dumplings are his idea of good eats. He likes the ”C’ feeds, the only drawback being that he hates to wash the dishes afterwards. He is well known in high school for his athletic ability and will be missed from the basketball team when his school career draws to a close this January.

Marshall, Lansing Eastern Debate Electric Utilities For the purpose of demonstrating a true debate to high school English classes, the debating teams of Mar- shall and Lansing Eastern high schools competed Thursday. January 7. in Miss Winifred Wells’ room. The question debated was: Resolved, that all electric utilities be governmentally owned and operated. Lansing East- ern. the negative side, was victorious. The chief issue of the affirmative team was that the present system is more expensive, mainly because o high salaries, a complicated system of advertising, and the high rate of in- terest on borrowed money. These, they maintained, would be abolished under government ownership. Twenty years’ profit would dissolve the huge debt contracted In organizing such a system. The negative team's main Issue was also cost, which they debated would I be greater if the same degree of ser- vice were given. They proved that high salaries are necessary as compe- tent men are not available for pa- triotism only. Advertising is also used by the government in the form of pamphlets. The cost which amounts to billions of dollars could not be paid in twenty years when it would be split among cost, service, and debt. Speakers from Marshall were, in order: Natalie Oversmith. Susan Udell, and Marsha Udell. Ltnslng Eastern speakers were, in order: Joe Kroll, Jack Vinour. and Marguerite Bowden.

January 11. on the Life and Teachings of Moses. He spoke of Moses as being an up-to-date charac- ter even though he lived long before our time. Moses was not known as an outstanding leader among his peo- ple only because he was so well dis- ciplined. but also because he was righteous and faithful. Reverend McConnell brought out the fact that Moses was one of the few characters in the Bible that led a life so similar to that of God and that his example stands out among all others In the Bible.

But. do we know any- thing about his childhood? Did you ever picture him at his home in Virginia playing with his younger brothers and sisters? Washington was a tall, strong boy. fond of all athletics, and his playmates found it hard to keep pace with him. Yet. they loved him for he was always a leader in their sports, and settled dis- putes wisely and fairly. When he reached his teens it was clear that Washington was serious about his studies, for he worked with zeal under the parish sexton, who was his teacher, to learn to keep ac- counts and draw up documents, some of which are still in existence. Another of our outstanding heroes is Lircoln. Almost everybody knows the memorable tale of Lincoln, when he was still u young lad. borrowing the book. Life of Washington, from his neighbor He took it to bed with him and during the night a storm beat in and ruined the book. Lincoln worked three days for the owner to repay him for the damage. Lincoln worked very hard to mold his life Into one as great and good as Washington's. But when one thinks of a rude log cabin on a lonely clearing in Kentucky, a barefoot boy. with long legs, abundant hair, and grayish brown, un- derstanding eyes, laboring to learn his letters on his mother's knee, we know that the fight that Lincoln made was not in vain. This month, everywhere, is dedicated to these two founders of our country. Tardiness Tardiness is one detriment to this school which may be laid entirely to the students. Students, who are tardy day after day. are drawbacks to a progressive class. Although a person, who comes in late disrupts the class for only a short time he may break down completely a thought the instruc- tor has spent the hour giving to the students. In the high room order is often broken and the teacher has to waste time in quieting the room. Remem- ber. this time belongs to you. Then too, you are very unfair to yourself in con- tinually being tardy. You lose out on important in- struction in class, and on time that could be spent In valuable study in the high room. Approximately fifty per cent of the tardy students are getting low marks and need all their available time for study. Twelve and one half per cent of the tardy pupils in Charlotte high school cause thirty-seven per cent of the tardiness. These pupils have let the habit grow upon them either from Indifference, or lack of Interest. As students, it has been shown, we are able to chock this, but will we do it. or will we wait until a higher authority is forced to Interfere? I et’s correct it ourselves. Guess Who!

In Appreciation One of the duties of the school is to teach stu- dents to be courteous, but an outside Inducement is always helpful. Fitch Beach is helping the school with his courtesy contest. Mr. Beach, a prominent local citizen, has prom- ised twenty dollars, and a gold courtesy pin to the boy and girl with the best record of deportment for the year 1937. All Eaton County boys and girls between the ages of eight and fifteen may be in this contest. In order that the contestants will be courteous at all times. Mr. Beach has left the se- lection of the winners up to five judges whose names will not be disclosed to the public. Charlotte high school appreciates Mr. Beach's attempt to better the community by helping its boys and girls to be courteous. It is a worthwhile project, and deserves to be successful. Quill and Scroll The Quill and Scroll, an international honorary society for high school journalists, has over eight hundred chapters. These chapters are located all over the United States, in Hawaii, England. British Honduras. China, and Alaska. There are approxi- mately 12.000 students in this organization. The society was started on April 10. 1926 by a group of high school supervisors for the purpose of encour- aging and rewarding student reporters. The society sponsors contests in different fields of creative work. It promotes research, and con- ducts surveys in the field of high school journal- ism. State press associations have been arranged for the benefit of people interested In the wide field of news writing, and editing. Within the next two months several students from the Charlotte high school journalism class will probably be eligible to join this organization. The requirements for joining are: a student must be in the upper third of his class, be recommended by his instructor, and have some article he has written, and had published approved by the nation- al secretary.

It is spoken us they saunter through the halls; the boys on the varsity team echo it as they toss for baskets; teachers look over their present rooms in distaste and then dream of the paradise ahead. Yes. that new phrase is When we're in the new building.” Everyone is proud of the new archway, the weathervane. library, gymnasium, stage, class- rooms. hallways, and of the building itself. Every- thing looks and is something of a splendor un known in Charlotte before. Not only that; it is for the youth of the city. It is theirs to cherish and keep for the next generation. Our parents dreamed of a wonderful new build- ing when they were in school here, and we started ; our school life with the same rosy visions. It was I the parents who never realized their dream of a school that made our vision into a tangible palace dedicated to the progress of learning. It was their money that paid for the archway, the weath- ervane. library, gymnasium, stage, classrooms, hallways, and building. They have created this vast estate and Intrusted all of us as caretakers. That trust Is something to live up to, and every student can do it. It is easy for one to pledge himself to support some vast project, but to make it a success everyone lias to work and put his heart into the cause. How many are going to put their hearts into caring for the new school? It won't be hard to keep the halls and classrooms clean if no one throws paper on the floors in the first place. It isn't always easy to refrain from running one’s pencil along the walls as he goes down stairs, but neither Is It easy to work for an hour or so after school removing the marks which a moment of forgetfulness put there. It isn't so pleasant, either, to work with sand paper to re- move marks or knife carvings from desks meant for entirely different purposes. But as caretakers it is our job to see that there are no pencil marks on the walls, no carving on the desks, and no halls strewn with waste paper. Then. too. there is the library to oversee. Pages are easily torn from books; covers somehow get tattered and marked up; and some books actually disappear. Caretakers are paid to prohibit these results of carelessness, and we are all caretakers. One scrap of paper, one torn page, or one lost book affects the honor of us all. It won’t be easy, but Char- lotte high school students can. and will, be able to take good care of the new building. Not a Bad Idea Evaluation cards are being sent out to the par- ents of the seniors in Central high school. Kansas City.

Keep It Up Charlotte high school has always shown a com- mendable spir t of co-operation with outside or- ganizations, and this attitude bus always been graciously returned. Parent's night, held annually, displays a cross section of school life to our fa- thers and mothers. Classes, exhibits, a dramatics club play—all help to make our parents under- stand our school life better. The custom of giv- ing a Footlighteer play before the woman’s club every year has fostered mutual friendship. The glee clubs sing at several public functions during the year. In return we appreciate the whole hearted sup- port and co-operation of Charlotte townspeople. Cash Beechler. our mayor, has been generous in allowing us to hold assemblies In the Eaton theater during the construction of the new school. Various people have spoken to the travel club of their experiences, and at every turn of the road we see evidences of this goodwill. The citizens of Charlotte, our parents, our friends, and business men are all interested In high school activities. They would like to know more about the school their young people attend. They welcome every opportunity lo see our school in action. I et us give them this opportunity as often as possible, and endeavor to make this insight pleasing. I et us continue to encourage friendship and co-operation with these people in order that we may gain mutual benefit from our companion- ship.

Due to many inquiries I am giving an en- tire course on How to Ice-Skate” in four easy lessons at the Charlotte Garden Arena. But. let me warn you—I’ve just learned myself. Lesson 1 Professor Floppo is now ready to teach his read- ers the ups and downs of ice-skating. First, you must have a proj er costume to get into the spirit of the thing. Red shorts, an orange shirt, green earmufTs, striped socks, and purple mitts. A large cushion will have to be strapped to your whatzis, just in case, and you should carry a cow bell in your left hand to serve as your horn. Lesion 2 Now sit down on the bank and put on your skates. When ready to stand, be sure that your skates are not in too much of a hurry, or you are apt to fall and do some possible damage. Lesson 3 If you are knock-kneed, be careful not to let the clatter scare your friends, and if you have weak ankles, or fallen arches, it's your own fault. Now ring your bell long and loud so everybody will get out of the way. Lesson 4 Now' most of my students forget when they pick up their left foot that they have a right foot. Don’t let that happen to you. When the left foot starts sliding, bring up the right, left, right, hey. what is this? Well, keep on going until the acci- dent happens. Be careful with that bell; you’re likely to crown somebody. Well, my dear students, you have all I can teach you. All you need is practice. You ought to be- come proficient at my art—of falling, but. be sure to stop at the corner drug store and get a first aid kit before coming skating. “Guess Who Answers from Last Issue tl) Roister, (2) Murray.

Principal’s Office on Second Floor On the second floor in the north wing are the typing and bookkeeping rooms, the principal’s office, and the balcony to the auditorium. The agricultural department and two class rooms are in the west wing. An art room equipped with special easel desks and two regular class rooms occupy the north wing of the third floor. To Study in Library A library study containing 25 oak tables and 150 chairs is in the west wing on the third floor of the building. North of the library are two Journal- ism rooms. There are exhibit cases on each floor, and all of the rooms contain cabinets for filing papers and books. There are also janitor's storeroom and fire extinguishers on each floor. Including the lockers in both locker rooms and in the halls, there are 440 lockers in the school. It was a year ago March 1 that workers began tearing down the old school building. On May 3. 1936 the cornerstone was laid for the new one. Interesting facts about the new building will be found on page 2.

XVAWMVUSAAAMMMVVWVSAAAAAAAAAV Enter Ye Our Thanks Having experienced one day's actual recitation in gleaming, modern surroundings a long visioned dream has materialized. This of course is the result of the taxpayers' willingness to take on extra burdens that the students of Charlotte high school might have a modern building with modern facilities with which to work. The Orange and Black in behalf of the students and faculty wishes to thank the citizens of this community and every- one who has helped make this structure possible. The school board which has met night after night to iron out countless difficulties encountered in the course of construction deserves a great deal of credit for its foresight and understanding. The contractors, although hindered by lack of materials, have spared no effort in making this a beautiful and completely modern building. The faculty and administrative offices of the school deserve a great deal of credit for carrying on as efficiently as they have in the crowded quarters taken during construction. The high school appreciates very deeply the effort and willing co-operation which have been manifested throughout the building of the new school. We're All Caretakers In days gone by the youth and faculty of Char- lotte high school coined a new phrase that was on the lips of every student and teacher in the build- ing. It was spoken as they sauntered through the halls: the boys on the varsity team echoed it as they tossed for baskets: teachers looked over their rooms in distaste and then dreamed of a paradise ahead- That phrase was. “When we're in the new building. Today, at the dedication of this vast tribute to youth, all those dreams come true. No longer does one have to impatiently await the day of dedication. That time is here, striking out the old when and leaving We’re in the new build- ing. Everyone is proud of the new archway, the weath- ervane. library, gymnasium, stage, classrooms, hallways, and of the building Itself. Everything looks and is something of a splendor unknown in Charlotte before. Not only that: it is for the youth of the city. It is theirs to cherish and keep for the next generation. Our parents dreamed of a wonderful new build- ing when they were in school here, and we started our school life with the same rosy visions. It was the parents who never realized their dream of a school that made our vision into a tangible palace dedicated to the progress of learning. It was their money that paid for the archway, the weath- ervane. library, gymnasium, stage, classrooms, hallways, and building. They have created this vast estate and intrusted all of us as caretakers. That trust is something to live up to, and every student can do it. It is easy for one to pledge himself to support some vast project, but to make it a success everyone has to work and put his heart into the cause. How many are going to put their hearts into caring lor the new school? It won't be hard to keep the halls and classrooms clean if no one throws paper on the floors in the Entrance To Success Enter to learn; leave to serve.” This motto Is very clearly portrayed by the symbols in the main archway of the new Charlotte high school building. It indicates to those who enter and to those who leave what Charlotte high school offers as a basis for knowledge in future success. The first symbol shows two art brushes. Im- mediately the picture painted presents a group of students, each one busily plying his brush on canvas. Next, several musical notes are seen. They represent the musical part of the curriculum. The band, orchestra, and glee clubs train the students In music, forming a background for later, more advanced study. In the middle are gears. The majority of stu- dents will do some type of industrial labor. In high school mechanics classes, they will gain their first knowledge of this type of work. For the scientists the chemical flask is pictured in the next panel. Some students enjoy science and by utilizing preliminary training gained in school may some day become one of the great scientists of the world. In the last panel Is a compass and a carpenter's square. representative of manual training, working with the hands to make exact duplicates or crea- tions of one's own mind. 1 Reporter Avoids Authorities But Is Stopped By Clock !_____________________________________________!

This sacrifice may be made in the form of labor, treasure, health, or time. Howev -- some person or group of persons must be will- ing to pay the price in order to accomplish the desired end. Things don't Just huppen; th'-y nr ‘ brought about. As we contemplate life wo often dream of what we would like to be and do.

The structure boasts of three stories, a good many win- dows. a flag pole, and a stately looking entrance among other things. However these noticeable facts reveal only a fraction of the details in the construction of a building of its kind. By investigating the matter deeply, it has been discovered that 170 tons of steel were used In building the framework and the great braces for the gymnasium and auditorium; 10.000 bags of cement; two carloads of lime; 15.000 cubic yards of gravel; 600 cubic yards of sand; and 500.000 bricks. These are some of the facts of interest concerning the construction of the building. Upon entering the school building one finds the foyer floored with colored tile. On the partition separating the vestibule and the superintendent's office two metal plaques have been placed, one representing the school board and the other, the date of construction. The large corridors extending south and east from the entrance are lined with steel lockers on each side, each accommodating two people. There are 298 In all on the three floors. Besides the lockers nine built in trophy cases, several bulletin boards, and two built-in lynches are found in the halls. The electricul system plays an important part with a total of 487 fixtures, three of which are 750 watt lights. Altogether the total wattage in tie lighting system is 63.620. The lurgo doors separat Ing the auditorium and gymnasium are controlled by a 440 volt motor. An electric clock system is also used with the inuin clock and the control lo- cated in the superintendent's office. The large clock controls twenty-three smaller clocks in the classrooms and a few in the junior high school regulating the time, and the bells for passing to classes. In the installation of these clocks one and one-half miles of wiring was necessary or total of 7,920 feet. The building contains 105 doors and 114 win- dows. A fire alurm is found in a convenient place on each floor. Construction began In February. 1936 and up to the present time 1,114 hours of labor weeks have been put in by 50 workmen for 54 weeks or 55,700 hours in the past year. The total cost of construc- tion for the contractors up to this time is $182.000 for the building. oHANCK BLAC K Retired A bc l crackled frostily In the dis- tance and Its echoing tones resound- ingly floated out over the atmosphere of a snappy February morning. This bell was of ancient origin and had per formed Its duty for many a year, at least for three quarters of a century. But there seemed something sad about the way the bell rang that morning. It clanged out it lusty tones In a manner which made one feel that the bell realized It would soon no longer per- form Its dally task. A few days before It had been announced that the old bell was to be discontinued as soon as work was started on the new building. For seventy-fire years the old bell had gone about Its work twice dally, un- complainingly. It summoned the stu- dents of the town to their respective schools and now It was to In? stopped. Certainly not because it had been In efficient, but because a magnificent new building was to replace the old structure, from which the bell had or- iginally rung Many of the students have Journey ed t- other areas, but most ot them are still living in the community. To all. both young and old whether here or elsewhere, the bell played an impor- tant part in their lives. How many times have students scur- ried from their homes having dressed hastily and having breakfasted even more hastily to make a dash toward school, the ringing of the last bell slowly but surely coming tJ an end? And now the bell Is to be discontinued. The friendly bell will most certainly be missed from the high school. It was decided that the old bell would have no place In the Charlotte high school building, and therefore should not ring out again when the new building was ready for occupancy. It is not a new story: It Is one that Is being repeated throughout this country-the new replacing the old. and there is no room for many of the traditions that were indelible to the old. This bell is steeped in such tradi- tions and is such a part ui Charlotte that a place has been fouu l at the Grammat school from which It will continue to ring out Its all. The R. S. Spencer Co.

The newly constructed building will afford civic bodies of Charlotte a fine place to meet and discuss activities that deal with the welfare of the community. The new school house will add structural beau- ty to the city. The Charlotte high school is recognized by several col- leges and universities as having an outstanding educational system. It has a very capable group of teachers and a student body that Is willing to take part in any endeavor that Is put forward by the school. However the school has been handicapped to a certain exleut by the lack of prop- er equipment, hut with the building of the new school the students will be given the advantages of modern facilities. Additional equipment will be added to the new school from time to time. As treasurer of the Board of Edu- cation. states Henrv C. Glasner. I have the handling of ail money used for the building of our new high school. A very fine spirit of co-opera- tion. on the part of board members and the general public to make every dollar count in the fine construction work, has been exhibited. We may Justly congratulate ourselves on the pleasing results of our labors together. No city of this size has a more beau- tiful building to show for funds judic- iously expended.” With the completion of the new school and its capable faculty.

ORANGE BLACK PUff r Charlotte High School 1M1 • 1M7 It was on a gently sloping prairie {«nil that a little band of courageous •fttiers begun the struggle to lay the present prosperous city of Charlotte. By May. 1841, a school board was ei«M tod and plans were begun for a means of education. The thrifty board decided that a new building was too much of a financial responsibility, so an old building was secured, which was the second structure to be built In the village, set up the educa- tional system to be In operation three months annually. This building had but one window and boards were nail- ed to the Inside of the walls to make long seats facing the window. In these meugre quarters a teacher. Miss Jane Gallery, was hired for the unbelievable sum of $1.25 weekly. As time went on the school Iroard was forced to move that a tax amount- ing to one hundred dollars be raised to build a new schoolhouse. Strange as this seems now to us. this building was to be IS x 26 feet and 10 feet high. Upon completion of the building 21 students, ranging from five to seven- teen years of age were In attendance there Remarkably liberal sums for those times of $1.08 to $1.50 per week were received by various teachers dur- ing the next few year . Johnson Is Founder In 1846 William Johnson, popularly known as ‘'Printer Johnson, started a high school In the front of his office. Being a man of high intellectual abili- ty he created enthusiasm and interest in this school. As a branch of this school a slock company was formed and became incorporated Into the Charlotte Academy. For a new building to accommodate the growing Interest in education Mr. McComb donated the land and a bell and the contract was given to Nathan Johnson who built the academy with out physical aid. He industriously worked in the winter as best he could and It was not until 1850 that the acad emy was completed Into what seemed a masterpiece of art. By 1859 a grade school was organized which was known as the Union school with Henry Robinson as moderator. This in turn called for a larger building but it wasn’t until 1866 that $14,000 was raised and the final cost amounted to $20,000. First High School Building Annex Built This building remained in use until 1913 when the back part of it was torn down and a modern structure was annexed. This building was passably convenient with a cherished auditori- um In which all plays and entertain- ments were held. Again the Inevitable happened and the new again replaced the old when conditions became crowded and in- efficient and so In 1936 the school board and the tax payers of the com- munity decided to raise funds for a new building. This building furnished almost every possible added advantage for education and convenience. With a roll of over five hundred and fifty, a high standard, a member of the University of Michigan accredited list, the school is becoming the civic center and attraction of the entire community and with all its added im- provements it is indeed a credit to those who founded it.

September 10. 1866, citizens of Charlotte decided to float, a bond issue of $10,000 for the pur- pose of erecting a new school build- ing. No known action was taken un- til February 7. 1869. when a special meeting was called to decide upon the cost of a new school building, the lo- cation. and the amount of interest which should be paid on the bond is- sue. Of the twenty-five who nttended, 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 construct- ed in 1869 and 1870. The building was a two story, four room frame structure giving room for a high 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 previously finished high school, were declared graduates at that time.

Amer lea and Michigan in general, or Char- lotte 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 community than Its public schools, for they are. with- out exception, the one thing of com- mon interest.

EDWARD PACKARD Npwt Study System In the past the subjecta taught In the schoolrooms were very specialized. Instructors did not attempt to corra- late the material taught in a class with life as the students would soon face it. For example, in a literature course, one classic selection would be studied for an entire semester. Pedagogy was largely questions and answers, follow ing the textbook closely. The students were not encouraged, particularly, to deviate from textbook material. Of course in years gone by the surround- ings and equipment were not as con- venient and comfortable us now and did not tend to Introduce a less formal spirit into discussion. Now the subjects are more general- ized. Teachers attempt to associate the curricular activities with the problems of life and to prepare the student for the future of reality. Supervised study will be inaugurated here next vear. This method of teaching tends to fur- ther a more personal relationship be- tween students and faculty. Now. in a literature course, the class covers in one semester many selections by many authors. Socialized recitation is en- couraged in the classrooms. Education is now undergoing what might be termed a period of transi- tion. With the new school containing all modern equipment, the progress of education should be greatly uided in Charlotte. Greater stress will lie placed on the social science studies. Informality will be the keynote of class discussion. Par- ents and the community In general will participate more freely in school activities. Emphasis will be placed on library work and current events. The system of marking or grading also will be revolutionized In the fu- ture. Less importance will be attach- ed to marks and more stress laid up- on effort. The cause and progress of education will be furthered and aided by the now school with its modern equipment and cheerful surroundings.

Gene King, Gail Cheney Have Leading Roles In 3-Act Farce Curtain To Rise at 8:00 Suppose you had a perfectly ap- pointed home and social standing in the community. How would you feel if suddenly your house became a chari- table institution for the needy? The answer, accompanied by much laughter and merriment, will be found In The Rainbow Girl,” an exceeding- ly clever play which the Juniors of Charlotte high school will present to- night at 8:00 in the new auditorium. Has Unusual Plot The Carrington family are the top rung of the Indianapolis society lead- er. Adele. an only daughter, has In- herited a substantial fortune from her aunt. But the catch to the legacy is that Adele. played by Adelaide Du- Bols. must carry on the social welfare work to which her aunt was addicted. In carrying out her aunt’s Instruc- tions there are found to be so many needy that they fill all of the posi- tions and institutions of the city to overflowing. It is then that Adele starts filling the Carrington home with them. There are a butler. Blake Parish, who con- fesses that he is a good coal-heaver gone wrong: a Russian maid. Wini- fred Nesman. who can’t speak a word of English until she is found out; and a colored cook. Mary Maxine Richey, who learned her profession in a laun- dry. Roxy Real is the girl who tried to be an actress and almost succeeded. Certainly the 1h sI role she ever had in her palmiest days could not com- pare with the one she is forced to play in this upset household. The part of Roxy Real is played by Gene King. Second Family Enters Naturally there is conflict between this group of charity wards and the socially prominent Carringtons. Mrs. Carrington, played by Dorothy Otto, is horrified; and Potter Carrington. Gor- don Nielsen, who imagines himself lord and master of his household Is Indignantly submissive. Gail Cheney takes the part of Eugene, the superior son who comes through with flying colors. All. however, is not easy sailing for the Carringtons in their own circle. They get into a humiliating situation with the Chippendale family, examples (Continued on Page 4, Column 4) Student Council To Give Dedication Mixer Friday A special dedication mixer will be held Tomorrow night In the new gym- nasium.

How many bemoan the fact that they are not able to see the Tigers or the Cardinals play any of their spectacular games, and that the only com- pensation is a play by play report over the radio? Some students, of course, are not interested in baseball, either because they don't want to be. or because they never have taken time to really enjoy the game and to see the line points of fair play and good sporimanship outlined during its procedure. Baseball is a game as thoroughly interesting and exciting as football, basketball, hockey, or any of the other sports played during their respective seasons. The pitcher on a baseball team trains Just as much and works Just as hard for his position as a quarter-back on a football team does for his. It Is just as hard to hit a home-run as it is to make a touchdown, and one is as exciting as the other to watch. Here in Charlotte those interested in sports are fortunate enough to be able to participate in and to witness the major sports of the year. Baseball is at present in the limelight . Instead of a dull play by play account of a game one can see an exciting game by the home team. Every fellow on Charlotte's team works just as hard as any big leaguer to give the audience the thrills they never forget. They give their best for our enjoy- ment. and we. in return, owe them a good crowd at every home game. The more people, the more fun. so why not make this a record season for baseball? Whether or not that record Is accom- plished is up to each and every person. Are you going to be there? Of Thee We Sing There are many times when our emotions can be expressed in only one way—through the medium of song. Song is so indicative of joy or excite- ment or dreamy quiet that it surpasses even words. We love to sing or listen to singing because it satisfies some longing deep in our hearts. We can all sing, but unfortunately the majority of us are untrained. For this reason we resort to bearing others sing in groups or alone. Trained harmonious group singing satisfies our musical urge. These groups we so enjoy are the glee clubs of our own high school. In these we can either sing, ourselves, and gain valuable experi- ence, or listen. The outsiders do not always quite realize and appreciate the practice and study which precedes a musical performance of the glee clubs. We do not remember the hours of vocalizing, the endless smoothing out of little details preparatory to our hearing the finished song. Arnold Koch, director of the boys glee club and the mixed chorus, and Mrs. Frances Wildern. director of the girls' glee club, deserve appreciation for the excellent training they give to high school stu- dents. We do appreciate the glee clubs of our school and their willingness to sing at public gatherings. To them we would sing our praises. The basis of all laws, school, state, and national, is that they are made for the benefit of everyone and cannot fit the whims of each individual. As Superintendent Jay Dykhouse says. Your rights leave off where the other fellow’s begin. A student has the right to talk, but when talking interferes with the right of another person to be quiet, a rule is needed to help both. In the same way a person may say that he has the privlige of risking his own life by driving at a break-neck speed. But what about the other person's life? He probably does not want to take the risk. In all life's encounters one must think of the other person. He has rights too. That is why laws are mude, to Insure the safety and comfort of the greatest number of peopo the largest amount of the time. Obeying the law does not make one give up his rights; it insures them, because the other person must make sacrifices also. Law makes everyone live more harmoniously and happily. fSchool Etiquettef By Professor Slicko Having just graduated with an SSS (Sure of Smooth Sailing) degree from Mark'ems Charm School I will by popular request give you these tips that will make you the most ] opular person in school. Instruction 1 Never arrive on time. Come in late and choose a seat in the middle of the room. The view is better, and your heel plates have to be used some- time. 2 On the way in if you spy your neighbor in the next aisle, don't smile and pass on; it isn’t good manners and will class you as a hick. Stand still, whistle to draw his attention and shout. What are ya doin' tonight?” 3 Never be satisfied with your seat. Always re- member a change is usually for the better. If you don't think so, the teacher will. If you have a seat and don’t like It. remember it's your privilege to change. If you see a seat beside some blonde. Just go over and kindly explain to the occupant that he is wanted in the office. While he goes to investigate, just sit down. 4 If the guy in back of you insists on turning around to look at her too. a few sly digs will make him realize she’s yours. The battle will be in the open, so if he gets slightly sarcastic. Just pop him. He'll quiet down—maybe. 5 If you want to talk, do it openly. Remember, if the teacher doesn’t want you In the library, there is always room In the junior high study hall. Here and There Have you noticed the new rules and regulations in the senior library? At any rate, the faculty are doing their part in keeping up the new school. I wonder how some of the ultra lively ones are enjoying the home coming in the old hi room? It’s a good thing the first fire drill was a false alarm or some of the students imost of them) would have been over heated. (Maybe that would have been better than the chilly April air out- side). Most of the class rooms did not recognize the loud, blood-curdling sound of the new fire alarm. What’s this about a certain few boys of the Ag. class having car trouble on route from Lansing the other day? I wonder if the roads were good— walking? Such overwhelming complaints as ever were heard are coming from C. H. S. students due to the fact that they are having difficulties in opening their lockers. Have courage friends, and you will succeed. At the Olivet high school the seniors have a hard time day. They come to school dressed in the oldest clothes they can find, and all day they can do Just as they please, such as eating candy, popcorn, bananas, and chewing gum. They also give an assembly program sometime during the day. Have you heard Gordon Lamoreaux description of a bald-headed man? He is quoted as follows: He had no follicle appendages upon the cutaneous apex of his cranial structure anterior to the lamb- dqldle sutture and posterior to the saggital sutture where said follicle appendages habitually germ- inate.” In the Spotlight I lived on a farm southwest of Charlotte and in town during the first eight years of my life, stated one of the school's busiest students. Then I moved to Detroit. When asked how he liked the farm life, he exclaimed, It's swell to make short visits to the farm, but as for a permanent stay, well that’s out.” He attended a Detroit high school with an en- rollment of five thousand students, but he thinks that the companionship, friendliness, and oppor- tunities of a small town are to his very best liking. “I was 17 (April 4th) and I am still trying to feel a year older. said he. He wonders why he keeps having birthdays to remind him of his age. He is quite a lad classifier . He dislikes to sea girls with their hair plastered to their heads and wearing a different color nail polish each day. My hobbles?, I have lots of them. Stamp col- lecting is one. I have sixteen pony express Htamps that will more than put me through college. These stamps average about $300 a piece. He also likes to ride. swim, play golf, and cook. Cooking he boasts, is where I shine. Have you guessed that it's Robert Allen. Jr.? He has brown hair, brown eyes, height. 5’10”, and weighs 160 lbs. He has one of the fastest gaits in Charlotte and a laugh that at times even has him worried. With this he laughed showing that perfect set of ivory white teeth. He added as he hurried away, I only have an 8 period day. so I can’t spend too much time talking now.” The Movie Goer Looking ahead at the pictures to be shown at the Eaton theater in the next two weeks, the Movie Goer sees several outstanding features to recommend to students of C. H. S. Five of theae are: Dr. Bull” Will Rogers This is a comedy telling the story of an old- fashioned New England doctor who never marries, and who cares for the children of his town from their birth until their marriage.—April 11, 12. Maid of Salem” Claudette Colbert Fred MacMurray The setting of this picture is in Salem and early colonial Boston. It shows life in the early New England days.—April 14, 15. Love Is News Loretta Young Tyrone Power Don Ameche Loretta Young, pretty heiress, has been the victim of merciless publicity, and vows revenge on Tyrone Power, ace news-hawk, who has ob- tained a scoop interview from her in which she denied the rumor of her engagement to a French count.—April 18. 19. Stolen Holiday” Kay Franci Nicole Picot (Kay Francis) is hired by a stranger, Stefan Orloff (Claude Rains) to bo a model. He turns out to be a penniless adventurer and although Nicole has grown fond of him. she refuses marriage for no apparent reason. Fate introduced the reason that very day in the person of Tony Wayne (Ian Hunter), a young British diplomat. The plot is intensified when Orloff is found to be involved in a skein of crooked deals. —April 21. 22. Swing High. Swing Low Carole Lombard Fred MacMurray This musical comedy depicts the story of Skid Johnson (Fred MacMurray). happy-go-lucky ex- sailor. and Maggie King (Carole lombard). a night- club singer. After getting out of Jail in Panama, the two are married. Soon Skid and a dancer, Anita Alverez, have a chance to work in New York. They accept the chance. Skid promising to send for Maggie as soon as possibe. This he does not do. When she arrives in New York, Maggie finds Skid with the dancer.—April 25. 26 In the Dearborn high school the monitors have been given slips of paper on which the names of all the people who pass by their desks during school hours without written permits are recorded Those who do not have permits must give their excuses. In this manner the office knows why the persons are wandering around in the halls. It is decreasing the number of students in (her halls.

This will be with St. Johns. April 23. on our own field. Star baseball prospects are not few this year. Although the star pitchers of last season. Dewey and Smith, have: graduated the mound staff is quite: promising. Reynolds. Rush, and Bry- an are expected to be of great value. Tracy, (Mark, and Shumaker are ulso to be regulars. The whole staff need' work on control according to Coach Clarence Danger. Collins and Mayhew will compete for the position of first sacker. At second. Gordon and Baker will excel with Bob Ladd at short-stop. Two freshmen. Jack Mate and Jim Spaniola will probably play third. Howe will un questionably be the backstop. How- ever. there is much competition for all these spots. Among the outfielders are Rogers, Fisher. Bradley, and Tou- tant. Expert dribbling, accurate passing, and keen shooting characterised our 1936 - 37 basket ball team. After a mid- season shake-up they still went on to; maintain a .333 average. Only one varsity man. George Collins, will be lost by graduation. Future success de- pends on student enthusiasm.

Choosing a schedule will be new only to the eighth graders, but this year there will be new conditions for each student to take into con- sideration. There will be six full hour periods next fall instead of eight forty minute ones, but there will be thirty minutes tor supervised study in ea h class. This should be taken into consideration when planning one's schedule. Too. a new class, vocational woodwork, is being added to the school's curriculum. Any hoys who arc interested in this work should find out as much as possible about U before they sign up. If one is taking a business course, his subjects will naturally be different from those of the stu- dent who is taking college preparatory. Everyone should keep in mind the kind of work they intend to do and plan their course accordingly. A care- ful study of the schedule sheets which will be passed out soon will enable a student to select the right subjects for the next school year. Many, however, are always in doubt about elective sub- jects and the meaning of majors and minors. The best thing to do in this case is to consult one's parents and a teacher who is qualified to give advice on the subject. To graduate with a college preparatory course, a student must have majored in at least two study groups and have minors in two. This is another point to remember when planning a schedule. Three years study in one group counts as a major, and two years as a minor. One should keep all of these points in mind when the schedule sheets are passed around after the marking period. Vocational Woodworking Vocational woodworking, taught by Earl Mead, will be a new class starting next September. The purpose of the class is to prepare boys for wood- working trades such as upholstering, cabinet mak- ing, and wood finishing. These respective occupa- tions could be taken up later as vocations in a furniture factory. The class will be open only to advanced wood working students and will meet three periods a day for five days a week. Two full credits will be given to those who complete the course. Construction of furniture will be done following the system used In factories. For Instance, one boy will cut out the pieces, another will sand them a third will assemble the parts. By alternating on different Jobe each boy will have a chance to in- form the different tasks. Never before has a system of this type been tried at Charlotte high school. U should be a great help to those wishing to continue in the line of woodworking. More men are needed in industrial occupations and an education in such lines will be an asset to any boy.

In The Spotlight Mixers are given so that students from different classes can get acquainted, and so that everyone may have a good time. Certain students and teach- ers put in a great deal of work to get a good orchestra, and in decorating the gym so that you can have a good time. Everyone should turn out, and not just mainly the class that happens to be sponsoring it. It is rather discouraging to the committees who have put in considerable time, to look around that night and see half the people sitting on the sidelines, taking no part in the dancing. A short time ago. dancing lessons were given so that everyone could learn how to lance. But if you still have never learned to dance, you certainly know someone who does and who will teach you so that you may take part in the fun. Dancing is fun. There are only four years of high school so make the most of them. Junior Play Brings Laughs Congratulations are in order for the cast, and directors of 'Rainbow Girl”, the three act farce, which was presented Thursday evening, April 8, in the high school auditorium. The play, produced before an audience estimated at 660. was received with apparent enthusiasm. Gene King very capably portrayed the lead as Roxanm Real, the Rainbow Girl. Her acting was unusually well carried out for a high school actress. Dorothy Hosmer. us the eccentric Mrs. Chippendale, social climber, brought gales of laughter from the audience when she spoke at random of her Russian tiara with Its “nice smell- ing pedigree”. Gordon Nielsen, a financier, was quite convinc- ing as a slightly bored, but very suave millionaire. Clare Weaver, and Dora Wilkinson as Elbert Chip- pendule and his daughter. Claudette, provided amusement for the crowd as they vainly attempted to cover Mrs. Chippendale's frequent social blun- ders. Dorothy Otto, as Mrs. Carrington, thoroughly convinced the audience of her ability in portraying a very sophisticated society matron Ade'aide DuBois. as Adele Carrington, made a very charm- ing social worker. Gail Cheney, as Eugene Car- rington. came in for his share of the honors. Winifred Nesman, Nina the fake Russian maid, and Blake Parish, as a butler in name only, put on an interesting, and rather pathetic act. Mary Maxine Richey, as Gardenia, a discolored cook with a timid temperament, succeeded in bringing laughs from the audience. The play re-establishes the fact that recruits from the welfare, social blue blood , and new'ly rich society climbers do not mix well when brought together under trying circumstances. When the welfare aspirations of Adele filled the Carrington household with very unusual freaks of humanity, the situation grows tense, reaching a climax with the arrival of the despised Chippen- dale family. The disappearance of Mrs. Chippen- dale's priceless tiara creates quite a stir and results in numerous embarrassing accusations of those present. With the confession of Nina, the maid, the play goes swiftly on to the satisfactory ending. The character parts, although a little difficult for high school actors, were well handled and the co-operation of all concerned helped make the pro- duction a success.

Bob is very much interested in music. One of his chief hobbies is his twin brother ''Duff's” orchestra, and one of his ambitions is to enter the State Music Contest next year. Food seems to be a special concern of Bob's. His favorite dish he revealed, is swiss steak smothered In onions. For breakfast , added Bob, I like two poached eggs on toast.” Among his variety of hobbles, he spends some time with pholographv and reading. His favorite author is Lloyd Douglas, but since he has read all of his books he is going to find another one and begin all over. Nonchalantly looking around while telling his opinion of girls, he said that they should be quiet, good dancers, use some make-up, and quite em- phatically, he added it was their own business whether they smoked or drank.

Seventh Heaven” Simone Simon James Stewart Laid in the Montmartre district of Paris in 1914. the story concerns Chico (James Stewart), a sewer cleaner, and Diane (Simone Simon), whom Chico rescues from being beaten to death by the owner of the notorious Hole In the Sock cafe, who had reared her from childhood. Gendarmes start to arrest Diane for throwing wine in the face of a customer who made advances to her. but Chico prevents this by posing as her husband. Stuck with his story.

ORANGE BLACK Page 3 Baseball Season Opens Tuesday Orioles To Face Grand Ledge Team In First Game Of Year (By Coach C. A. Langer) Charlotte's baseball team will take the fleld for their first game of the season to be faced by a rather strong aggregation at Grand Ledge high. Grand Ledge has been a strong base- ball town for years and that spirit carries over in their high school to a great extent. The Charlotte team, to take field, is a new team over that of last year. Under classmen are im- pressive and a number will see action in the opening game The inflelders have been a problem, but have ironed out to a starting line-up. The out- field is one that looks promising but not excessively impressive in some respects. Pitching is a question, no past ex- perience to back on. and all brand new candidates with no past record. If the pitching comes through ns we expect it to with Vern Reynolds as the power house, and Ned Bryan. Franklin Ixmcks. Dale Shumaker, and Carl Clark as relief pitchers, a good season can be predicted. Catching is good and batting looks better than average for high schools. The starting line up will probably be as follows, in order of th-; batting positions: Bob Ladd—1st B. Carl Gordon—2nd B. Werlin Bradley—R.F. Walter Howe—C. Vaughn Rogers—L.F. Vern Reynolds—P. (1st relief P., Franklin Loucks.) Mike Mayhew or George Collins— 8 S Jack Mate—3rd B. Julius Fisher—C.F. This Is the probable line up for this game. Other men than those men- tioned may start the game. This first game will Ik? a test of the team and will help light the way to a more impressive team later in the season. With so much young talent mistakes are expected but the team will be hard to beat at any time this year. The boys have the attitude to win. I want everyone to come out and see them play. Oriole Feathers As I stood watching, a puff of+ smoke shot down the track pulling with it a group of white olad figures who sprang from a crouch and came sprinting down the stretch with lightning speed. My eyes wandered and a hlgh-Jumper floated across the bar as I altered my gaze to watch a distance man. running with long, easy strides, finish with a powerful burst of speed.” Thud! ! My attention was diverted again because of necessity, not of choice, w’hen a shot crashed into the turf exactly one and a one-half whiskers away from my larger toe. After a dash for safety I turned and applauded the giant who was retriev- ing his implement of war.” Excerpt taken from Charlotte's 1937 Track Team , reprinted by special permis- sion of the author.

Rural Students’ Club This club was first sponsored for rural students to give them a chance for some social contact that they fail- ed to get in other ways. It has since been of value to the school in other respects. Besides being an outlet for social improvement, it has had to do with noon hour programs, and the ar- rangement of properly conducted noon hours. More planning can still be done in this respect, but is much bet- ter than before the origin of the club. The club is entirely composed of rural students and is becoming more important as it has a special function to perform. It is thought the club will try and serve freshmen rural students as a brotherly affair to get them started over the road of adapt- ing themselves to city procedure. said Mr. Langer. The club is under the guidance of C. A. Langer. agriculture teacher, who is best acquainted with the rural prob- lems of school boys and girls. He is intensely interested in rural students as his work is more than two-thirds with these students.

It Isn't much, but when the nickel-a-week collections drop off. there is a shortage in the school budget. Until a few weeks ago students have been paying their nickels promptly. Why have collections drop- ped off lately? During the football and basketball seasons we kept paid up so that we could see the games without paying a quarter, but now we are lagging. Let's not be poor sports about paying for what we have already received or shall receive. Especially as long as the nickel-a-week costs only two dollars, and we receive benefits worth $6.05. Still to come are baseball game, track meets. Orange and Blacks, and the honor banquet. These are all partly financed by the nickel-a-week plan. Forty per cent of the nickel-a-week collections is given to the athletic fund and ten per cent to the lyceum fund. To help publish the school paper and year book thirty-five per cent is given for publica- tions. The honor banquet is sponsored by a general fund which receives fifteen per cent. Knowing that we receive all of these benefits from the nickel-a-week. shouldn't we have our nickels ready for the collectors next Thursday? Thirty-five cents is all that it needed to pay up for the rest of the year. Your Band Oh. what fun it would be to march in a band, to wear a crisp, colorful uniform, and to play an in- strument. Have you ever thought this as you watched the band snappily marching down the street? Did you ever stop to think, though, of the many factors governing the good appearance of the band? The members start at the beginning of the year to build a strong and reliable organization. Usually many players graduate each year, and too often, practice is forgotten during vacation. So in the fall, the band has a tough schedule of practice ahead of it before the football season. Members must practice hours every w’eek. They march together, with their drum major in warm or cold weather. They must keep their uniforms neat looking, always ready for use. At football games, when others come attired in warm clothing, the band members must march without gloves, overcoats, or warm hats. Throughout the year they work, increasing in num- ber. appearing to play whenever asked, until the end of the year when finally they have learned to work together with one another, for the benefit of their organization. Then comes graduation. Again several worthy members are lost and It is up to those remaining to start all over again and rebuild a strong organization. Thus It goes through all the year. The band turns out to please you. It is for you to enjoy and it is up to you to recognize the work its members have done, by boosting the band whenever you can and by appearing at all its performances. Soon the members will hold a Band Bounce.” They will give a concert from which they hope to obtain enough money to better the band in some way. The program will consist of several humor- ous and novelty numbers, as well as regular con- cert pieces. Every member of the band will appre- ciate your co-operation in this Bounce.'’ and you can best help by being present in the audience to encourage and enjoy your band.

Spring (Written in Composition 12 Class by Margaret Ives.) At the sight of white shoes and thin dresses one is certain that spring is on the way. The word spring” promises new crops, a brighter world, flow- ers and things of beauty. The birds build new nests, women clean house, even inside of you there la a new and different feeling. You awaken in the morning not tired and dreary but full of pep. and you are eager to be up and out of doors. The idea of walking to school gives one the determination to get ahead, to study, to lead a new life. As night closes in you can look back over a day's happenings and feel that it was spent in a worth- while manner. The word spring means a new life and a pleas- ant future. My Mother What would 1 do, if you were not? What would 1 do? I say. You do a thousand things for me A thousand times a day. ; You think I don’t appreciate Those little things you do. But I’ve locked each one within a room That I have kept for you. That room. I find, is nearly full I’ll have to get another But there’s one thing I’ll never have And that’s another Mother. I hope someday, when you grow old And tired from lack of rest I hope, that I to you may give what You gave me. the very bent. By Helen Rogers Seen Dan Cupid ? Did you know that dear old Dan Cupid is very busy these days? Maybe It’s the spring weather. Anyway. It's a wonder some of the locker doors haven’t a dent in their middle from the effect of the boy friend leaning against them while waiting for his present heart throb. What stories some of these lockers could tell If they could only speak—how. while he was opening the locker for her.” he asked—but that would be telling, and keep it a secret for no one is supposed to know your locker number. If you wish more knowledge on the subject, just walk through the halls and note the blissful look on some young faces, and how certain faces, waiting on the sec- ond floor, especially, brighten when she comes along. Charlotte High Celebrities Jimmy Frace—because his sweaters make school a brighter place. Jerry Fulton—because of her sweet smile. Gordon Lamoreaux—because someday he’ll prob ably be a genius. Sam Combs because a speed limit cramps his style. Margaret Ann LeRoy—because of her infectious giggle. Blair MacKenzie—because he thinks he’s such a ladies’ man. Jo Murray—because of her ’ingenious ideas. Mr. McCall—because of the cute way he cocks hlB head when he thinks. Bud Belyea—because of his 'gift of gab.' Margaret Bauer and Teressa Ottney—because you never see one without the other. Eva Jeane Kiplinger—because she always seems busy. In The Spotlight This energetic senior. Martha Peters by name, is seventeen, weighs 95 pounds, has brown hair ami hazel eyes. When interviewed she was busy an- swering questions and cheering for the Charlotte team at the Ionia track meet. Gwendolyn is my favorite possession and pa time because she is so quiet, stated Martha In case you don’t know who Gwendolyn is. she is Mar tha’s Model A Ford. On a warm day you can gen- erally see Martha driving around town with a group of young people piled in the car. Next year Miss Peters plans to enter the Uni var- sity of Michigan and take a course In Business Ad- ministration. After school she can generally be found at a drug store or else at home but always doing tbs same thing—eating. Choc’late pie is my favorite dish. she said in regard to eating. Cn the summer time Martha loves to swim. That Is her favorite sport although she says, I also like golf, horseback riding, and automobillng. When asked about boys she said. Oh, I think they should dance by all means. What is more, I don’t like ’Chevies.’ ” she cried and then turned her attention to racers on the track. The Red Carnation Some years ago. Hazel Robinson and a high school chum were walking one afternoon when they met a young man. news reporter, working for Mr. Ells of the Charlotte Leader. Not Hazel Robinson but her chum eyed the red carnation in the gentleman’s button hole. In fact, she asked him for the llower. He informed the two young ladles that he would give each of them a red carnation If they would walk up to the greenhouse with him. During the stroll that followed. Mr. Reporter dated up the young ladies for the follow- ing Friday night. However, because her schoolmate was 111, Hazel Robinson kept that date alone. She and the reporter with the red carnation in his button hole went to see the stage play, Under Two Flags . And. it was probably through that date that she came to have so much to do with the red carnation and the gentleman who wears it. He no longer walks to the greenhouse for his flowers. Enough for one week now come to the house every Monday morning and Mrs. Hazel DeFoe has made it her duty to clip the stems dally to keep the flowers fresh. Doc DeFoe. now editor of the Charlotte Repub- lican-Tribune has come to be known by the red carnation he wears dally. It takes the place of a daily cigar. Doc as a member of the Mich- igan legislature worked especially hard on one particular bill. The day that it went through the legislature went down in the stato minutes as Red Carnation Day. For 35 years, few days have passed when Doc” DeFoe has not wforn his flower. Friends send red carnations. Prominent city people have copied him. He refuses to wear an artificial flower but sometimes during off season he will wear a pink one. Mrs. DeFoe tried to raise them but as red carnations just won’t grow in a garden, summer and winter the florist with clock-like regularity makes his stop at the DeFoe’s. Figure Them Out 1.

MAY 20. 1937 Issue 13 Orioles To Play Mason Tomorrow Reynolds Pitches One-Hit Game Against Mason Journeying to Mason tomorrow afternoon the Oriole nine will engage the Mason team In an attempt to avenge the 1-0 defeat handed them by the Masonites earlier In the season. The last game was featured by a pitcher's duel between Vern Reynolds and Underwood of Mason. Although Reynolds gave up only one hit and Charlotte collected three, the hits were scattered too much to produce any scores. The lineup as well as the batting order has been revised so as to give more batting power to Charlotte. Reynolds, now fully recovered from his recent illness, should be in a posi- tion to give the local team the pitch- ing needed to win ball games. Charlotte won the opener of the season from Howell by the score of 7 to fi The next two games were defeats for the Orioles. Eaton Rapids winning 6 to 5 and Mason 9 to 0. At the start of the season Clarence lounger. l asel all coach and agricul- tural teacher, was greeted by a group of inexperienced players. However the team has developed a smooth functioning infield and a creditable outfield. The team should be in condition to play a satisfactory game against Ma- son tomorrow.

Every day in every way things are happening to improve and to make better the world In which we live. Inventions are perfected, social conditions bettered, and everything in general steps ahead. To bring things down to our own circumstances, even the school and its curriculum advances from time to time. First a new building, then, super vised study, a home room plan, and last but not least, a school membership at the golf course are all part of today's advantages. Each one of these things has added or will add in its own way a new advancement to fit the modern building which is now being occupied by Charlotte high school students. When the building was first started it was fairly evident to everyone that the old methods of study, teaching, and council representation would have to be advanced in order to comply with the up- i to-date facilities now surrounding our school life.' Probably the development which affects a great many students at the present time is the school membership at the golf course. Like most new sports in a school, golf has been enthusiastically received and all those having golf clubs have signed up with unusual promptness. Several nights a week the girls, under the direction of Mrs. Frances Wildern. and the boys under Mr. Kenneth Brown, practice diligently at the local course. A team of boys have also been playing other schools and thus they are promoting the good feeling enjoyed between the surrounding towms. And so as school life progresses so do the sports and clulw that are for student enjoyment. Charlotte high is very definitely moving ahead. It needs only a boost here and there from willing hands and its success will be quite emphatically assured. Are you helping? Cliques It is one of the universal desires of all men to have friends. Pleasing It is, to us. to associate with others for we are not a solitary race. These people with whom we agree and with whom we enjoy being we choose to be our friends, and if the pleasure Is mutual we are especially fortunate. The process sounds very simple. We like; we are liked; therefore, we have comrades. In real life the making of friends is infinitely more complex. Hard as we may try many of us are unable to make friends and be liked. We seem to be afflicted with a curse of black magic. But this is not the case. No curse, but perfectly understandable reasons thwurt the fulfillment of our desires. One of the many causes of our quest being fruit less is an important one—the clique. When a group of people find themselves congenial they naturally wish to continue associating with each other. However, they often do to the degree that they become semi-oblivious to other people as friends. These groups are called cliques. They are friendly only to their own select few. Is this right? Have we the right to hamper some newcomers happiness simply because we are self satisfied and self centered—or group satisfied and group centered? Every person in this world has his merits. Every person has something with which to benefit someone in a friendship. When we enclose ourselves in cliques we are not only denying others the fullest degree of living but our- selves also. Let us do away with this detrimental custom and let many friendships reap their bountiful harvests for ourselves and others. Our New Study Plan Supervised study, a plan proved successful by numerous schools all over the United States, will be inaugurated in Charlotte high next September. Next year the school duy will be divided into six. fifty-one minute periods, und one thirty minute home room period. Twenty-six minutes of the class hour will be used for recitation, and the other twenty-five will give the students an opportunity to prepare their lessons for the next day. This plan will eliminate schedule difficulties as we now have them. Each student will have an opportunity to study a subject under the super- vision of the instructor who teaches it. This will enable the student to accomplish more in a shorter length of time. In most cases the study period will not be long enough to take care of the entire preparation of the next day's lesson, but the work that remains to be done could be completed by the average worker In a period of ten or fifteen minutes. One of the big purposes of this plun is to teach the students how to study, and make the most of their opportunities. The home room plan offers both educational and jocial contacts for all. Everyday thirty minutes will Ik? devoted to this plan. One day a week will be spent in assembly that hour. Another day will be for a home room program, and another will be for club meetings. Instead of class aldermen being elected to the student council as they have been in years past, each home room will be repre- sented. So. on one day a week the student council will hold its meeting. As yet the plan for the fifth home room period is undecided. If everyone of you will co-operate with the .'acuity, this uew plan will be as great a success here as in every other school where it has been tried and proved worthy of acknowledgement. In The Spotlight One busy office worker is seemingly occupied continuously. This young senior. 17 years old to be exact, has a variety of hobbies. During the summer she spends some of her time at Miniwanca camp on Lake Michigan. When she spoke of camp her eyes brightened and she leaned back in her chair, as if trying to picture some of those exciting days. Scrap books and knitting are also her favorite pass-times. Bicycling has a special place on her hobby list. When asked about her favorite food she re- marked. “Strawberry shortcake by all means, and chicken dinners with all the trimmings.” Basketball is her favorite sport, running a close second in her choice Is volley ball, which she played at camp. Regarding games she enjoys witnessing, football wins above all. Like moat girls, the game is a slight mystery in some ways to her. but she believes time will remedy that situation. Choosing Michigan State college she plans on studying sociology and physical education. The career of a nurse may enter into this modest senior’s life work.

'Fighting Angel9 Fighting Angel is the life story of the father of Pearl Buck written in a very interesting, and clear manner. The book is unique in its presen- tation of both the physical, and spiritual sides of her father's life. The author presents a very complete character study of her father, who sacrificed all for hi ideals. The story depicts the periods of his lifn from his birth until his death at the age of eighty one. Andrew Stone, one of seven sons in a family of nine children, followed in his brother's footsteps as a Presbyterian minister. Andrew married Carrie Stalling merely because his mother would not permit his going to China unless accompanied by a wife. A splendid portraynl of courage, and strength is found throughout the book. He started out by struggling to get an education, and as a result of his efforts, was graduated from the university with high honors. Andrew Stone wus better known as a fighter for the souls of the heathen, than for any other thing. He enjoyed working as a lone wolf . Whenever a village or district became too civilized , or had too many white people in it he would move on the new territory. On river junks, on donkey back, and on foot he traveled throughout all of China in spite of hardships, doing his beloved work of saving the souls of illiterate Chinese. In his leisure time he translated the New Testament into «.hinese direct from the Original Greek. Apparently, the author's purpose in writing the book was to introduce her saintly father to the world in general, and establish a tribute to his •tame. So vividly does the author describe the tall, ungainly figure of her father seated upon a small donkey when going on his way to preach, • hat the reader can easily see him. The book is comparable to a novel in its lively interest, and swiftness of movement. It Is a book enjoyable to all who read It. You (lUCKS Brown curly hair . . . glasses . . . senior fellow . . .

Council Sponsors Rural Murals Fascinate Student Artists Detroit! the factory city. In vivid, glowing colors Detroit and the ma- chine age live in the murals on the walls of one of the rooms in the De- troit Institute of Arts. Standing at one end of the room last Thursday twelve Charlotte high school art students gazed in wonder at the painted w-alls while a guide ex- plained the murals to them. Diego Navarro, the artist secured by Edsel Ford to paint the murals, was contracted to do only the two side walls, but he became so engross- ed in his work that he painted every available wall space. Although typical of their city. De- troiters do not like the murals, be- cause they are pictures of machinery and factory workers of all races. In one panel are portraits of Edsel Ford and the president of the In- stitute. The highest panels portray the four races of man. and below them are shown the different metals leading np to steel, the backbone of today's fac- tories. Each room was furnished as a room of that period would have been. The Louis XV room was very ornate, while the Japanese one was severe and not decorated. In the French division was a tiny Gothic chapel, quietly beautiful with its pointed, stained-glass windows. The guide announced that this chapel had lH en a part of Westminster Abbey and had been brought piece by piece to America where it was reassembled. After seeing an exhibition of De- troit high school students' work which made some of them doubt their own artistic abilities, the Charlotte students left the building with tired feet but a better appreciation of beauty. Visiting Day Tuesday Rural visiting day. when a group of seventh and eighth graders from rural districts were entertained at Charlotte high school, was held Tues- day. Principal Harlan McCall and Mayor Douglas Reister each spoke for half of the first hour to the group. The rest of the morning they attended classes and at noon played ball. In the afternoon they again visited classes until the eighth hour when they attended an assembly. After school they were admitted without charge to the baseball game with Eaton Rapids.
