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? I Can't Escape From You. The witch’s song? “Me and the Broom. The owl song? Owl My Life. The cat song? Let Me Claw You Sweetheart.” The elf song? Is It True What They Say About Pixie? The graveyard song? You're the Cream in My Coffin.” The executioner’s song? I Ain’t Got Nobody. The hitch-hiker's song? She’ll Be Thumbin' ’Round the Mountain When She Comes.” The manicurist's song? Hands Across the Table.” Dale Bryan's song? Sweetheart of Six Other Guys. The garage man's song? Oil Can't Escape From You.” There's hair in the butter song? Silver Threads Among the Gold. 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. Oklahoma, has a test exemption system which frees from tests all students having a minimum number of absences and tardies, aud a good daily record. ( Central Luminary . Miami High School) Bob Bush (headline writer): Let’s see. I need four heads.” Howard Bond (reporter): Is it that bad?
