I'ttuc 4 ORANGE BLACK Highlights In New School Everyone seems accustomed to the noise once more—Why does one see so many upturned noses in the vicin- ity of the tar pot? The football team will have a room to itself when the new building is completed. Back of the team room is a room where the boys can store their football and basketball uniforms when not in use.—Coach Gobel will have a private room and shower. The workshop will probably be completed by the time this is pub- lished. Workmen put in the sky- lights last week. How many sports loving students are asking when the gym will be ready? Well, acording to Mr. Sverre, that will be the last part to be com- pleted. The walls in the corridors are cov- ered with glazed tile.—All along the one running north and south are open spaces where lockers will be placed. Watch for more dope on the new school in the next issue. C.H.S. GLEE CLUBS ELECT OFFICERS The girls' glee club Is under the direction of Mrs. Frances Wildern.

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.

We noticed him washing the car. which was pretty much smashed in the region of the motor und windshield. Did it hurt the horse Jack? The band is going to look pretty nifty with those two additional drum majors. Gene King and Betty Sparks. They can really “twirl It” too. A girl was speaking to Mr. Danger the other day about members of the senior class in the study hall. Mr. Danger said, You know, there’s one girl who came to the high room for several days and then disappeared. Her name was Pat Higby.” The girl said. How strange! I’m Pat Higby. ’ Two mixers this month. Charles Evert says he always gets nervous Just before every football game. We’re in favor of a tunnel between buildings for rainy days. Aren't we Miss Wells? Adelaide DuRols blushed a wee bit In French class when Miss Glllam said, Adelaide. montrez-moi le genou;” meaning. Adelaide, show me your knee.” Martha Peters made such a success of her chemistry experiment, a while ago, that she was overcome and had to be taken home by monitor Don Roush. 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.
