The names of these two graduates are engraved on a bronze tablet known as the honor plaque. This year’s honor plaque students arc Gene King and Gail Cheney. While in high school Gene King has had a large number of varied activities. She had the honor of being elected president of her class in 35, president of Girl Reserves in ’38, and having the leading role in last year’s junior play.

We have completed our high school course, usually trying to do our best. Then may we face the big part of our lives with the same high purpose, but with added ambition. We have formed many new friendships which have been a source of inspir- ation. After graduation may all these friendships continue, but with renewed energy. On behalf of the class of 38. we wish to thank each member of the faculty who has had a part in guiding and advising the activities of our class. Only the future can prove the worth of their time, patience, and helpfulness. In closing, the whole senior class of 38 joins in wishing those classes that are to follow, as much fun, happiness, and success as we have had, under the guidance of our most worthy and faithful advisers. Mrs. Marena Kiplinger. and Earl Mead. DALE BRYAN. President of the Class of '38. Class Prophecy It is a bright November day in 1958. The «‘litire Charlotte high school class of 1938 and several thousand other energetic rooters are present at the � 111,11.1) Eaton Kaplds-Charlotte foot- ball game. Phyllis Archer, secretary of 'h alumni association, spent near- ly .i year In ferreting out the mem- bers of the class of '38 and making ure that all of them would be present. four reporters, who were assigned lo write this brief summary of the iImIuks of the class of ’38. are Dorothy Otto and Sidney Nielsen. Dorothy is owner of a winning string of race horses at the Hi-Ho race track in Miami, and Sidney is editor of Esquire, that famous magazine for men (?) only Record Crowd Present Now the great day has finally dawn- ed and a record crowd has gathered in Charlotte � new million dollar Htad- ium designed by architect Richard Mauicom. From the press box we can see Harold McGinnes and William Reefmau setting up their candid tele- photovision transmitter with which they will take intimate views of the crowd for the National Television Company's hookup. Nearby we see Dale Mason getting his portable broadcasting set ready for a play by play description of the game. Coach Gail Cheney of Charlotte has predicted that the game will be a close one as the two teams are very evenly matched. Superintendent of Schools William Garvey stated: If Charlotte wins this game they will have won their fifth straight game with Eaton Rapids . We now leave the press box to see if we can catch a glimpse of some of our fellow classmates. As we start out we find Goldie Golden, the famous woman lawyer, who won the notorious •Flea” Jones dognapping case last year, with Ruth Lay. Chicago society matron, and Kstella Parker. National Camp Fire Girl’s Guardian, chatting together as they wait for the game to commence. Next we find Frank Kline, county agriculture agent and perfecter of Kline's Kow Kure for dyspeptic calves, talking over old times with Donald Riley, world's champion hog raiser whose prize Poland hogs have taken every prize but the door prize at the Eaton County Fair for years. Travelers Home From Abroad Barbara Hamilton, noted Parisian gown designer and Marjorie Riley, her friend, who has been on a piano con- cert tour of the European continent for the past two years, are seen in the distance reminiscing with Herr Dale Bryan. internationally known Vienese brain surgeon and Wayne Cottrell, plant superintendent of Gen- eral Motor's California Airplane fac- tory. That benefactor of mankind and regurrector of Jacob Van Vessem's fast diminishing hair. Clarence Jane, inventor of El Busho hair tonic and professor of chemistry at the Univers- ity of Michigan, rises excitedly from his seat as the starting gun of the game sounds. The first quarter ends with the score still tied at 0-0. During the lull between quarters we see Dora Wilkin- son. Dean of women at Smith College; Dale Albin, head lighting technician f«� r Consumers power company of I an- mk. and his wife. Helen Zeiss Albin. • heartily joining in the dheen for c. H. S. As the second quarter starts we notice several late arrivals coming in. As we approach we find them to Ross Belyea. of Belyea’s Better Breezes air conditioning company, with Hilda Kelly, renowned nursing «‘Xpert; Mury Maxine Richey, editor of the New York Times; and Clare Weaver, operatic star whose last per- formance of Faust brought so many curtain calls that the curtains gave up in despair and stayed open for the rest of the evening. Their plane was delayed while air hostess Janice Green and pilot Clare Tharp took time out to be married. Morey Makes Touchdown At the half we find Charlotte ahead by a score of 6-0. Eddie Morey, Jr., son of Edward Morey, former mayor of C. H. S. and Gene King Morey, made the touchdown. Among the dense crowd gathered around the refreshment stand we find Jessie Bradley, private secretary and press agent for James Fairchild’s Gi- gantic Janitors Supply company; Ade- laide DuBois. dietician at the Kellogg sanatorium; and Junior Grier, secre- tary of agriculture. Jack Garlinghouse. head photo- grapher for Life magazine, who is noted for his super-candid camera shots, is also being refreshed.

For their officers, the eight A’s named Dale Bryan, president ; Virginia Span- iolo. vice president; Katherine Durner, secretary; and Joyce Messimer, treas- urer.

Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Marena Kiplinger and Earl Mead they have had a very busy and worthwhile senior year. Money mak ng plans have been drawn up by an efficient finance committee with the help of the officers elected at the first of the year. They are: Dale Bryan, president: Doreen Nicol, vice president; Lorene Steinman, secretary; and Jack Gar- linghouse. treasurer. In addition to selling Christmas cards and wrappings, the seniors sold jello and have spon- sored two shows at the Eaton theatre. This money was to finance the senior trip to Put-in-Bay, which took place June 10. As they pass through the portals of C. H.

Seniors 77a Ac TJrip Friday morning, June 10, at 3 a. ni. the seniors boarded the Michigan Cen- tral train for Detroit. Upon reaching Detroit at about 7 a. m., they ate breakfast and wandered around until time to go to the boat dock. Eight o'clock saw them aboard a Lake Erie boat bound for a 120 mile trip to Put-in-Bay and back with sev- eral stops en route. Returning to Detroit in the early evening, the seniors saw the city and attended a movie. At shortly after 12 o’clock they were back on the train and headed for home. They reached Charlotte at 3 a. m. Saturday, loaded down with souvenirs, and sleepily de- clared they had a wonderful time on their 21 hour jaunt. Having gone as far as the ‘ole’ class treasury would permit, they contented themselves with a weary walk home in the predawn era which comes every morn’ before sunrise. page’ten JU NICC PRESIDENT'S Mf MGI As we rapidly near the end of our high school careers we realize the responsibility that will he placed on our � hi� ulders by the graduation of the rl«M of 38. Much of the success In our organi- cation and the advancement of our claim has been due to the work of the untiring fnculty and especially out- class advisers. Alleen Combs, and Ken- neth Brown. Throughout our high school careers we. the class of ’39. have been foremost In scholastic standings, interclass sports and the furthering of good fel- lowship in the school. To the classes which will follow in our footsteps we leave a mark worthy to be attained and we know that with their initiative and the help of the faculty they will make the grade. We also wish to thank all those citizens of Charlotte who co-operated in our magazine sales and the junior play On behalf of the junior class I wish to congratulate the seniors on their splendid Charhian and also wish them success throughout the coming years.

A. Anderson, a young bachelor who was in love with Grace: Pauline Thompson, a society girl, who, in the starts the troubles which were harbor- few minutes she is seen, causes enough ing in the Harrington family; Robert trouble to nearly break up the family: Parkhurst, taxi driver who provides Jack Youngs, an elderly gentleman many laughs because of his impudence w-ho, unknown to him at the time, and Independence.

It was at this time that they began participating in the school activities under the leadership of Miss Sue Gillam and Wendell Anderson in their freshmen year. The officers chosen by the class that year were: Rosemary King, president: Josephine Lucke. vice president; Eldred Toutaut. secretary: Jack Fink, treasurer. Ade- laide DuBois and Murray Chandler represented the class in the council. Their second year found the class of ’39 making excellent progress along the line of school activities, sponsoring mixers, selling candy noons to make money for their treasury, etc. Also from this class comes a good share of the school’s outstanding athletes, sing- ers and dancers. Last year the class officers were as follows: Max Tullis. president; El- dred Toutant. vice president: Dorothy Snoke. secretary; Carl Rochester, treasurer. Dave Elies and Mary Nan Rowley represented the class on the student council. The class advisers for last year were Miss Alice Colburn and Wendell Anderson. The sopho- mores were up and coming in their in- tramural sports; for instance, the class placed third in basketball, and second in the interclass meet, losing by one point. Besides this there were more boys in the sophomore class that earned varsity letters than in any other class. This year under the advisership of Mrs. Alleen Combs and Kenneth Brown the group chose as their officers: Bob Ladd, president; Jo Jane Murray, vice president; Rosemary Fielder, secre- tary: Jo Lucke. treasurer. Murray Chandler. Eldred Toutant, and Bob Ladd represent the class on the stu- dent council. The junior play. The Patsy’’, a three- act comedy, was presented December S in the high school auditorium. On January 18 the play was repeated by popular request. The leads were taken by Rosemary Fielder and David Elies and supported by an excellent cast. One of the outstanding events of the year was the successful magazine drive sponsored by the class as a money making project. page eleven ePli€H€RC H. Adams, H. Akas, E. Allen, W. Amiss, G. Barlond.

Miss Alice Colhurn and Joseph Noggle. and the rest of the faculty for making it a very pleas- ant memory. We extend our goodwill to the sen- iors who are graduating this year, and wish them good luck and happiness iu the future. Many of the Sophomores have taken an active part in the sports this year, and we trust that a number of them will he star athletes in the following years. Next year we shall endeavor to give an outstanding junior play, as well as retain the high scholastic standards ob- tained by many of the Sophomores this year. The co-operation of the class of '40 has been excellent, and we may surely look forward with anticipation to our Up the Ladder By our motto. “Ever ready , the class of '40 has lived up to its stand- ards and has made much progress dur- ing the last year. The officers for the class last year were: Bob Huber, president: Betty Sparks, vice president: Wilma Barnes, secretary: and Shirley Bring, treas- urer. Student council representatives for last year were: Bob Huber, Jimmy Spaniolo. and Gordon Cameron. Showing much in the way of athletic ability, the sophomores helped the school in the way of baseball, football, and track. Raymond Snyder and Bud Hammond received letters in football: Jimmy Spaniolo. Jack Mate, and Dale Shumaker received letters in baseball for two consecutive years. They also have Jim Tracy. Kenneth Bruce. Dorr Love. Raymond Snyder and Bud Ham- mond who were on the track team. The sophomores came in third in the inter- class track meet. Miss Berdice Lawrence, a missionary who came from China, gave a talk on China for the sophomore assembly. The mixer the class sponsored was the last of the year with Bob Cove fur- nishing the music. Decorations for the mixer were the class colors, maize and blue. Two of Charlotte’s present drum majors. Betty Sparks and Leone Had- dix. are sophomores. These two girls, in addition to the twirling of the ba- ton. have participated in many school activities by furnishing entertainment with their singing and dancing. The acting officers for this year were Vada Miller, president: Jimmy Span- iolo. vice president; Dorene Snoke, secretary: and Gordon Cheney, treas- urer. Jack Mate. Clarence Squibb. Bob Huber, and Phillip Frace, were the sophomore student council repre- sentatives. Joseph Noggle and Miss Alice Colburn were the advisers and contributed much toward the class' progress. The class of ’40 sponsored a party and dance for the class which was held in the old gymnasium on October 8. Carl Clark and his orchestra furnished the music. Doughnuts and cider were served after the dance. For the final social function of this year a picnic for the class is to be held at Pine lake. Olivet. June 17. Those attending will have for their recrea- tion swimming and dancing. A pot- luck luncheon is being planned. junior and senior years, holding the same feeling of cooperation. VADA MILLER, President of Class of ’40. Drum Majors The sophomore class is fortunate in having two drum majors, Betty Sparks, and Leone Haddix. Betty Sparks has been a drum major for two years and has entered two major contests, one at Michigan State college and one at Hol- land. Betty did not place at Michigan State, but at Holland out of eighteen contestants she placed fourth. “With two more years’ experience we believe Betty Sparks is going places, stated Bandmaster Ward Hynes. With two months of experience Leone Haddix placed third at a drum major contest at Michigan State. Leone also entered at Holland, but she did not place. Ward Hynes stated. With her ambition and talent she will become one of the finest drum majors Charlotte has ever had.

Carroll Stringham was elected chief executive for the members of the class of '41. Harold Carman was vice presi- dent. Frances Higby was secretary and Lynn Fowler made a capable treasurer. Jacob Van Vessem and Miss Sue Gil- lam acted as class advisers. The three freshmen home rooms had as aldermen. James Newcomer from 204, Phillip Sherman from 306. Wanda Giar from 152. Because the represen- tative from home room 152 dropped out, Marilyn Orr was chosen as the successor. Third place was awarded the fresh- men for their display of donations at Thanksgiving time. Last year they received first prize. Eleanor Raymond was captain of the freshmen girls volley ball team which won the junior high tournament and then defeated the senior girls for the interclass championship. Intramural basketball’s second place was captured by the girls frosh team by a score of 2 1-4. Betty Bruce and Eleanor Belyea were the high pointers—with more bas- kets to their credit than any other girl. In each of the two boys' basketball leagues, the Junior and senior, the freshies’’ had two teams, with Carroll Stringham and Bud Beechler as cap- tains for the senior leagues. In in- terclass track Russell Bradley came in a close second to Dorr Love for the mile run. Bud Beechler. Lynn Fow- ler.

PRESIDENT'S ME AGE As president of the eighth grade. I wish to express my appreciation to the teachers and supervisors, for their help and co-operation during our lirst year in high school. Our class aim during the past year was courtesy and though we may not have reached the highest point, we have tried. When we signed up our schedule for the coming year, we were greatly ex- cited because this was our first exper- ience in planning our future. We are looking forward to our freshmen year with a great deal of interest. We feel that our beautiful new school building will add a great deal of pleasure to our school life and its wonderful equip- ment will help much in our next four years of high school work. We feel that we are fortunate in being students of the Charlotte high school. PHYLLIS THORNTON. President of Class of ’42. (Jp the ladder Doers of Good Deeds Because the eighth grade has been included In the high school the eighth graders cannot be looked down upon as the lowest form of humanity . They have, the same as anybody else, a goal toward which they are striving and making rapid progress through the advisership of Mrs. Marie Taylor and Mrs. Frances Wildern. Phyllis Thornton was favored by the class to act as president, while Patty Beechler. Wayne Terwllliger, and Bruce Garlinghouse had the responsi- bility of being vice president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. From home rooms 251. 102 and 252 came Doris Mason. Patty Beechler. and Betty Weaver, who represented as a group, the eighth grade class at stu- dent council meetings. At the beginning of the year Mrs. Taylor's home room (252) started a health campaign. Several of the stu- dents interviewed doctors on the sub- ject and then gave talks before the rest of the students and any of the par- ents who were willing to come and listen. The collecting of class dues is a problem that is found in all classes. The eighth grade solved the difficulty by holding a dues paying contest. A furor was caused and there was a scramble to win the contest. The eight A group came out on top. Patty Beechler was chairman of a junior high assembly on January 17. The whole class turned out to a get- acquainted party which was given for the seventh, eighth, and ninth graders at the beginning of the year. Second place was awarded them in the Thanks- giving drive this year. In the election for queen of the jour- nalism carnival Barbara Rowley re- ceived the most votes and thus served as one of Phyllis Archer’s courtiers. President Thornton stated at Christ- mas time the class of '43 wishes to be the most courteous class In high school. Fine talent was shown when the eighth grade girls tied wih the juniors for fourth place in the basketball finals. Sponsoring the fourth mixer of the school year was the job of the Junior dramatics club. Near Christmas time the eighth graders found a way to make some poor children happy, and they took ad- vantage of their opportunities. Under the supervision of Mrs. Marie Taylor the grade decided to gather together all of their battered and broken toys and remodel them into toys that other children could play with. For several weeks before Christmas the students busily working to fix the broken toys so that they would make some poor child happy Christmas morn. The boys fixed the mechanical toys so that they were again in good work- ing condition. The girls brought their dolls that they no longer played with and made new clothes for them. Af- ter the toys were all in good condition and the dolls had new wardrobes, a committee was chosen and the things were all taken to the Salvation Army from there they were distributed to the poor children. r Class Personalities Best dancer....

At the beginning of the year the students chose soap carving as their art project. During the year bouts, airplanes, cars, dogs, cats, and many other things were carved by the students; these were displayed in a bookcase In the room. Many other handiwork projects were made by the pupils. Some of the girls made dollhouses and tiny pieces of furniture to put In them. Versatility Students of the seventh grade have, through their appearances in assem- blies shown some outstanding talent. The group has singers, dancers, and many musicians, some of whom have already made a distinct mark denoting talent and skill.

David Shaull. and Geraldine Niccum maintained a “B” average throughout the year. At the Thanksgiving assembly, the seventh graders placed fourth for qual- ity. quantity, and attractiveness in the display. They won a dollar prize. A Christmas party was held by the group, names were drawn and the stu- dents exchanged ten-cent gifts. The girls in the home economics classes made candy to serve at the party. To make the money needed to cover expenses, the seventh graders sold dish cloths and candy. The dish cloths brought in proceeds of four dollars, while students selling candy once a week at noon for eighteen weeks took in the net amount of four- teen dollars. February 14, the group drew names and exchanged valentines. A short program was given by the students. All of the seven “A” group gave an assembly April 22. Charles Gordon was chairman of the assembly, which was a musical travelog. The class chose songs from foreign countries, these songs w-ere sung by the students. Dances, and readings were also fea- tured. Pine lake. Olivet, was the setting for the class picnic, held by the group May 21. Recreation was in the form of baseball, boating, and swimming. A potluck lunch was the main event of the day. Transportation to and from the lake was furnished by several of the parents.

Billy Watson played a piano solo; Betty Lou Squibb sang a solo; Chris- tine Hoover played several selections on her Hawaiian guitar; Harley Ben- nett played a few numbers on his Span- ish guitar; and Donis Newth gave a reading. page fifteen PCETX The CHflRMIOn Oriole Gridders °rio1' Sl e,s Win 4, Lose 5 Handicapped by the lack of weight, the Orioles won only four games, while dropping five during football season. Fighting spirit on the part of the squad was in evidence throughout the season, particularly in the Eaton Rap- ids game when they held the Islanders, who outweighed Charlotte 30 pounds to a man. to two touchdowns. Poor Showing in Early Season With only six letter winners back for the season. Coach Gobel had to mold a team out of thirty candidates. Most of these and the veterans too were small in comparison to previous years. However, despite this handicap, a pre- sentable team made its appearance on the home gridiron for the first game of the year. Engaging a heavier team from Coldwater. the Orioles took up the battle and scored the first touch- down of the year However. Coldwater 1 came back to win the game 19-7. Undaunted by the defeat given them ! by the twin valley champions, the ! Orange and Black took on Ionia, a team equal to Coldwater in size. Work- ing upon the theory the bigger they are. the harder they fall.’ the local team left a mud laden field with a 19-0 victory. Mason invaded the home gridiron for the Orioles third game. A closely fought battle ended with the Maroons ahead 12-7. Grand Ledge handed the Orioles their second straight setback by the score of 14-6. This was followed by an- other defeat at the hands of Hastings. Hit Winning Streak The Orange and Black proved that they were not done for and emerged from a game with Howell with their second victory. 7-0. The locals next took the Vocational School team by a score of 22-0. Playing against St. Johns for the first year, the Orioles lacked the fight- ■ ing spirit in the earlier part of the; game, but picked it up later in the contest and scored two markers in the last four minutes to win. Playing against Eaton Rapids in the final game, the local team kept the Islanders on their heels throughout the contest, but were forced to give ground to the heavy line of the Cardi- nals. Eaton Rapids won the game by a score of 12-0. Five Seniors to Graduate Only five seniors will graduate this year, leaving thirteen letter winners to return next year. Those who will graduate are Jimmy Shaffer. Gail Cheney. Rolland Weaver. Vera Rey- nolds and Ed. Morey. Among those re- turning are Bob Ladd. Jack Mate. Bud Hammond. Don Lea. Murray Chandler. Max Tullis, Eldred Toutant. Macklin Mayhew and Raymond Snyder. Considering that all the fellows re- turning will add a little weight be- tween now and next fall, we should have a pretty good team next year, states Coach Gobel. The annual football banquet was sponsored by the merchants and was held in the high school gymnasium. 1937 Football Standings W L T Eaton Rapids 5 0 0 Grand Ledge 3 1 1 Mason 3 2 0 Charlotte 2 3 o Howell 1 3 11 St. Johns 0 5 0!

Basketball Title Won By Seniors At the close of the girls intramural tournament, the senior girls took first place with five wins and no defeats. The captain was Shirley Casler: the other players were: Ruth Howe. Fran- ces Ann Youngs. Doris Bryan. Barbara Hamilton, Dora Wilkinson. Frances Burton, and Marjorie Riley. Their high point players were Frances Ann Youngs with 43 points and Ruth Howe with 52 points. Shirley Casler and Doris Bryan made excellent guards. The freshmen came in second with four wins and one loss. Their captain was June Morrison, a newcomer to the school of this year. Other players were: Betty Bruce, Dawn Quirk, Eleanor Belyea, Elaine Palmer, Mar- vel Robins. Catherine Cooper. Arlene Stanke. L Greta Strickland and Ila Mae Lawrence. The two high point scorers for the season were Eleanor Belyea and Betty Bruce. Other players on their team who showed excellent ability were June Morrison. Catherine Cooper, and Ila Mae Lawrence, guards. Third place was taken by the sopho- mores whose captain was Hazel Howe. The other players were: Beulah Bee- be, Leone Haddix, Jean O’Dell. Betty Sparks. Kathleen Mikesell. Marilyn Canfield, and Wilma Barnes. Their out- standing players were: Jean O’Dell. Beulah Beebe. Marilyn Canfield and Hazel Howe. Betty Sparks was high point winner for the sophomores. Fourth place was taken by eleventh and eighth graders. The captain for the eleventh graders was Della Holmes who accounted for 28 of her team’s points. Other members of the team were: Anna May Myers. Pat Parker, June Saums. Berdina Hennings. Mar- tha Thompson, and Margaret See. Al- though this class did not have a reg- ular team, they had probably the best fighting spirit of all the teams. The eighth graders showed great promise for future games. Such play- ers as Eleanor Haley. Elaine Bruce, and Betty Weaver were the outstand- ing ones in both forward and guard parts. Theircaptain was June Wolcott. The players were: Maxine Paton, Elea- nor Haley, Elaine Bruce. Betty Weaver. Naomi Shoemaker, Shirley Stephens. Leota Whitipger. Pat Beechler, Ro- berta Hare, Evelyn Mayes, Frances Rybnikar, and Florence Boyd. The cellar position was occupied by the seventh grade girls who lost five Eight Teams Participate In Interclass Basketball The new intramural sports program introduced by Coach Gobel has proved highly successful this year. The new program has given a larger number of boys a chance to take a part in the various sports more than any other intramural system ever to be carried out in the school. Each class was allowed to enter as many teams as they cared to. Captains were elected and the various teams were chosen. The eight teams entered played a round robin schedule, with the first four teams in the rank- ing at the end of the season engaging in a tournament to decide the cham- pion. Both of the senior and junior teams participated in the tournament. George Fullerton’s team dropped the first game to Lawrence Tiegler’s juniors by the score of 28 to 14. Don Lea’s team defeated Rolland Weaver's team for the second time of the season by the score of 28 to 18. In the third game. Fullerton defeated Lea’s team by the score of 27 to 17. Weaver’s team suffered its second setback of the tournament at the hands of Tiegler’s quintet. In the most exciting games of the year, Weaver defeated Fullerton 8 to 6. Tiegler’s team assured itself the championship by defeating Lea’s team 41 to 31 in the final game of the season. The largest score of the year was turned in by Weaver's team, when they defeated Beechler’s freshmen 51 to 7. The new interclass setup will help considerably In the develop- ment of players for the varsity team. The added space of the new gym made possible the enlargement of the intramural program. Intramural Standings Tiegler Won Lost 1 Lea 5 2 Fullerton 3 Weaver 3 Braden 3 4 Clever 3 4 Stringham 2 5 Beechler 7 out of five games. Helen Montgomery was the outstanding player. Captain Dorothy Jean Dean, Donis Newth, Na- omi Wardwell, Helen Montgomery, Lu- cille Cole, Lucille Stocking. Letha Par- ish. Lenora Bates. Jean Riddle. Jen- nie Smith. Christine Hoover, and Vir- ginia Nisse composed the team. The game between the freshmen and seniors ended the season schedule. Rohlfs Coaches Baseball Team The fast becoming nationwide fav- orite sport, baseball, seems to be near- ing the top notches of interest in Char- lotte this year. Perhaps it's because the local squad has lost but one of the games played this season, thus giv- ing the Orioles the lead in the Capitol Circuit league. Charlotte opened the season by jour- neying to Eaton Rapids April 26 and taking the game by a close margin. 5-4. Next the boys journeyed to Howell April 29. where they booted the game away 7-10, to lose their only game of the season. Following this defeat, they shut out Grand Ledge May 3. 3-0. Franklin I oucks. pitcher, allowed but three hits in that game. Mason was next to lose to the locals. A wide margin score was the result. 7-2. with Vern Reynolds pitching and allowing but three hits. May 10, the boys brought home another victory from St. Johns. 16-11. Dale Shumaker worked on the mound this time and allowed only seven hits. The second game that the locals played with How- ell, May 13. proved victorious for the locals with a score of 5-3. The last two games played by the locals, fur- thered fans’ confidence that the squad would win the trophy. May 24 the Orioles defeated Grand Ledge 5-3. and May 26 defeated St. Johns 12-5. Four boys are working on the mound this year and only one is a senior. Vern Reynolds has the pitching aver- age of .667 and he will not be with the team next year because he will graduate this June. Franklin Loucks. Dale Shumaker. Julius Fisher are the other three pitchers and each has an average of .1000. These boys will prove valuable next year and have done a good job this season. Leading hitters on the squad are Bob Ladd, Jack Mate, and Eldred Tou- tant. Russell Steinman has made a good showing this year as shortstop. It is certain that this freshman will be a valuable asset to the team in the next few years. Carl Gordon is the only senior be- sides Reynolds, who will not be with the team next year. Gordon is the captain of the team as well as catcher. The boys that will probably make up the team for next year are: Bob Ladd, Jack Mate, Eldred Toutant, Bob Baker. Jim Spaniola. Dale Shumaker. Julius Fisher. Franklin Loucks. John Wellman. Charles Harshman, Clarence Squibb. Neil Clever, Russell Stein- man, and Lynn Fowler. This year's team was made up large- ly of sophomores and juniors. Several freshmen have made impressive show- ings and will probably be regulars next year. Juniors Outscore Seniors To Win Interclass Meet Interclass track soared to a new height this year with the juniors out- scoring the seniora and taking first place. The seniors took six of the twelve firsts and the juniors three. The sophomores took three firsts with Kenneth Bruce winning the high hurdles. Ike Frace, the pole vault, and Jim Tracey, the shot-put. to score 35 points. The freshmen trailed in last place with six points. page sixteen fPCCTf Cage Team Has Average Of .500 The 1937-38 Charlotte Orioles under ih direction of Coach Malcolm Gol� el rl«MMd the season with seven victories aud seven defeats for a percentage of .500.

Next in line came Hastings but after a hard fought game the night before the locals were downed 23-19, and Hastings went home with the trophy. Coach Gobel stated. We were handi- capped in every game because of lack of height. Every team we played held a heighth advantage over us. When Tracy wasn’t playing, the tallest man on the floor was Murray Chandler, who is about 5’ 10 . Although we were handicapped for height, we made up for it in speed and clever ball hand- ling.

Olivet de- Charlotte Wins Regional Title One of the most successful track squads produced by Charlotte was turned out by Coach Gobel this year. The Orioles opened their season at the Hastings relays, in which they placed second to Western State high school of Kalamazoo. The following week, the Orange and Black met Eaton Rapids on the local track and emerged the victor by a score of 78-26. Char- lotte collected ten of the twelve firsts. The following Wednesday. May 4. Beldiug and Ionia came to Charlotte for a triangular meet. Again the Ori- oles were victorious. In this meet, both Cheney, and Henry of Belding ran the low hurdles faster than the state record. Charlotte scored 61 points to 49 for Belding and 21 for Ionia. The Charlotte-Hastings dual meet was on the local track. Hastings gave the Orange and Black tough competi- tion. but were unable to stop the team’s final drive w'hich gave the Orioles a 58 to 46 win. Charlotte finished the dual meet sea- son by routing the Olivet college fresh- mei 64 3 5 to 39 2 5 and remained undefeated in dual competition.

Bob Ladd played number two man in the first couple of matches but was elevated to the top spot when he was low man in the first two matches. Lawrence Tiegler played number four man mostly. Dave Elies and Bob Spice switched off and on between number two and three positions. Through the co-operation of the school board and the Charlotte Coun- try club, high school students were allowed to use the course free of charge. page seventeen FEATURE The CHflfiHffln On Frankie— “Fine, fine. he nodded as Benny Goodman's tenor man finished a hot chorus in one of his late records, he was really out of the world! Thus did we find Frankie Prindle—enjoying his favorite pastime and hobby, heatin' it out with his favorite band. After he'd placed the record in its place we settled down to the business of the evening. We soon found, after a moment's chat, that his one interest from day- light to dark is music. During the week one will find him spending his afternoons at the high school teaching young ent huiasists to keep that rhythm straight; on week ends one will find him at Stale swinging out with his own hand. Of the latter Frankie is very proud, for it arose from a five piece outfit playing for a few dollars a night to a nine piece band that plays nothing but the hottest swing. He hopes to make the top. realizes that it will take hard work and diligence to a complete mastery of the funda- mentals. Frankie mounted his guns when we showed a distaste for swing because to him it is the only thing. “The trouble is.” he said, “that the majority of people don't know enough about music to appreciate swing. Mr. Prindle. with a clarinet, ventur- ed into the world of music for the first tinn while in the fifth grade. In two years he was tootin’ in the com- munity band under Mr. Higby whose baton he followed for eight years. While in high school he played in a clarinet quartet: he bashfully admit- ted that the. group took second in a statewide contest. In answer to a final quest regarding the ladies he replied.

Into each person's life there comes a time when that person feels it is necessary for him to venture into the realms of the sacred bard. Shake- speare. Ordinarily not too much damage is done while the person is under the spell of this drug, wr.te-a- playphiue. which causes this strange form of wanderlust. Although such a dangerous opiate as write-a-playphine should be con- trolled. there is little known about It. How it works, where it comes from, what form it is in. how it is spread— still are mysteries to tne world of science. No one knows when the menace is going to strike and in what form. . Occasionally the result of this mad drug is a tragedy, sometimes it takes the form of a comedy, or a fantasy. Although we do not know which of the above types the following is we are made to realize that this dread dope, write-a-playphine. should be curbed. THE GREAT PLAY By George First Act (At the rise of the curtain. Little Petunia is standing in the center of the stage all alone.) L. P.: I'm trying to help and oh— why does—every—one—have to be so mean? I could Just cry. In fact. I think I will. (Sinks on davenport wailing tears left and right.) (Enter cruel villian. John Mush-in Mouth, with long black mustache awry. Villian: Aha. my sweet lilac time. nd what is the matter with my sweet Little Petunia girly this fine, bright, morning that the rent comes due and your pappy can't pay it. Ha-ha-ha.” (Villian goes off left amid boos and overripe fruit from the audience.) (Little Petunia sits up suddenly and wipes her (ears on her petticoat. She smiles suddenly and snaps her fingers.) L. P.: I have it! I'll mortgage our cow. Gladiola, the one that gives two quarts of milk every other day. And If that isn’t enough—I’ll—why I’ll even —mortgage—Orchid, our hen that lays three eggs every two weeks, rain or shine. But I just couldn't do that to Orchid, not after the way she gave four eggs one week! (Little Petunia sinks into the daven- port and starts weeping again.) (Enter Bachelor-Button, the Hero. He enters the stage right and goes over to poor L. P. on the davenport.) Cur- tain falls on first act. Second Act (Same scene as first except L. P. is still on davenport crying but neither iero nor villian are to be seen.) (Enter mammy) Mammy: “Say there. L. P.. don’t you think inayl� e you had better marry John Mush-in-Mouth so we can ray off the mortgage and save the homestead? (Mammy means the rent here in- stead of the mortgage but she means well.) (L. P. refuses to answer anyway, she is so enraged by this insult to her love for Bachelor-Button. Mammy goes out upstage and Gladiola wanders in off right. Glad is an ample sized animal of reddish brown and white spots. L. P. looks at Glad—and stains to weep on the davenport. John M-in-M creeps to the middle of the stage and then slobbers over the heroine. She hits him one but in vain. Just as he has her down, sitting on her. and about to tie her to the rail- road tracks while the train whistles in the distance. Glad leads with a rear hind left to the rear. John sails over the heads of the first row Into the gallery, where he remains for the est of the play, throwing gum and F. F. A.

How It Started Yearbooks are published by senior classes of almost every high school, university and college in the country. This annual publication usually con- tains the pictures of the members of the faculty, the graduating class, the lower classes, the athletic teams, and sometimes vnrious club organizations. The book also contains events of the past year, jokes, and a sports page. “The Delphian” Starts Many years ago Charlotte Hi began publishing such a book. It was called the “Delphian , and had a paper cover. At first the price was set at fifty cents, but as the annual was im- proved the cost was increased to one dollar and twenty-five cents. When the journalism and senior classes suspended publication after the 1932 edition the Delphian was a book eleven inches by eight inches in size. By each senior’s picture was printed a well known saying that fitted the personality of the person. Novel pictures and many jokes adorned the back pages of the book. Publishing the “Delphian” and the Orange Black was quite a strain on the treasury department of the publications department. Everybody liked the Delphian and thought it was a fine annual. Harlan McCall, journalism teacher and adviser to the Orange Black staff, decided to drop the Delphian and publish an an- nual with less cost to the student body and still edit the school paper. A de- cision was reached by the class who decided that an annual that was to de- pict the complete history of C. H. S. was to take the place of the much loved Delphian . The editor of the 1932 Delphian was Robert Klevorn with Genevieve Huber as business manager. McCall Names The Book The new book was to give active accounts of high school life. Posters were put up and the whole school was in a turmoil as to what the new an- nual was to be like. Mr. McCall thought of a name, the Charhlan . which was accepted. Charhlan” means Charlotte high annual. It was to be a sixteen page lmoklet with seventeen issues of the “Orange Black bound together. William Cox and Ruth Striugham were the editors and Clifton Kelley was business man- ager. Organizations were to pay but eight dollars instead of the former ten dol- lars to have their pictures in the an- nual. Seniors were to have theirs in free of charge . The cost was fifty cents. Paper covers were used at first, but the quality was increased and on the '37 issue the first stitched imitation leather cover was used. The latter issue was sent away to be bound while previous ones w'ere bound by the McGrath-DeFoe company in Char- lotte Many of the students and faculty thought the change was for the.better. We wonder what our students of to- day think? liachelor-Hutton page eighteen The CHORHIflfl A Freshman' Innocence When a speaker at one of the year's assemblies was partially through with bis speech he paused and asked.

Ding, dong! Bells. Bells call us back to another year of school whose schedule is full of study and’ social activities. New classes have been organized on behalf of the students to help make it the best year ever. Is there anything quite so inoffensive in high school as a group of freshmen? They are simply dazed with so many rooms and halls that they are apt to stand and stare with envy at the seniors who are so at home and accustomed to the daily rout- ine. If the freshmen are from the country they are more bewildered than ever because they have been used to only one room and teacher and then to suddenly walk into a three story building a half of a block long and try to find their way around seems an enormous task confronting them. Those freshmen may be greenhorns the first few weeks but soon after they will feel as accustomed to it as all the rest of the upper classmen. There are various clubs for the social activi- ties of the school. For the rural students there is the rural students club. There is also the French club. Hi-Y. Girl Reserves, and many other interest- ing groups. Bells summon us to school; the doors bid us welcome as we enter, after a long, exciting vacation. Nine and a half months of school, then vacation again but let’s make those nine and a half months as thrilling and happy as a vacation. Let Yourself Go” The first student mixer is just around the corner, to wit. October 1. and already patient males are mildly surprised when girls, in response to their bashful asking for that date, is met with an absent minded. “I’d love to. if I get a new dress.” Here’s hoping that every lassie and every laddie will be on hand to trip the light fantastic in the high school gym at all the mixers for the ensuing year. Let's Qive a Yell Were you ever at a game where there were no yells? No, neither was anyone. It is usually the time when people just stand and stretch their vocal cords. To keep people in good spirits and full of pep we have those peppy and popular cheer leaders. For them is the responsibility of keeping up the spirit and morale of the rooters and team. An ac- complished and popular cheer leader is one who can control the crowd in such a way that they re- spond in unison to his motions. This year four new cheer leaders have been chosen for Charlotte high school; they are Eleanor Belyea, Gloria Jean Beebe. Rosemary Parkhurst, and Ross Belyea. Be sure to go to all the games and give them a little yelling support. For to- morrow’s game the cheer leaders would like to have the students learn the following yell.

An hour later the hen tries to cross the road and a car hits it. Romance: The two were together, basking in In the warmth of a summer's moon, whispering sweet nothings to the other’s heart. Mystery: Crouching low the professor made his way silently and swiftly up the stairs of the cold tomb to the death chamber, and there in the corner he saw the bloody form of a lifeless man. Adventure: Tony stood helplessly watching Dave fight his way into a blazing death to save his child. Humor: We slopped merrily on trying to keep our shoes on and at the same time trying to catch that squealing piece of pork which was romping gaily in the field of soupy mud. Only a Nickel Only one nickel a week but think of the good times it brings you: Assemblies, school paper, athletic matches. Honor Banquet at the end of the school term and miscellaneous articles that come in throughout the school year. Like any well organized council, our student Council of Charlotte high school must have its funds to carry on its business programs and pro- grams of entertainment for the student body. By means of this nickel a week It sponsors the slu dents’ entertainment. Many times the funds run low because the nickels aren’t paid every week so this year let us try to keep up this weekly contri- bution and not miss a single time. Try to get more students interested In this plan. I et’s keep Charlotte high bubbling over with nickels so it will be able to give us bigger and better entertain- ments.

How. oh, how did Mr. Mate, the man with the smile, get that ’shiner, tch. tch. It's fun to listen to some one’s oice while it’s changing. It seems to hop all over the scale. Why doesn’t some one drop up and teach us the Big Apple?” By the way, girls ought to be spanked for flickering their eye brows like that little King girl does.

Ionia won the tosa and elected to receive. The hall was carried to their thiry yard line. On a drive down the field featured by savage line charges the Ionia team took the hall to the Charlotte twenty yard line, but was halted there by a stubborn Oriole de- fense Charlotte's running attack wasn't functioning so they punted out of danger. After an exchange of kicks Weaver ran off his left tackle for forty yards and a touchdown. Cheney made the extra point from placement. During the second quarter nei’htr team threatened. Ionia received the kick-off in the second half and returned the ball to their own forty yard line. A penalty for slugging on Ionia gave Charlotte the ball and a twenty yard penalty. On two line plays the Orioles gained five yards. Cheney then scored on a wide end run The extra point failed. Charlotte scored again in the fourth quarter when Cheney threw a iorward pass to Ladd who ran thirty yard? for the final score. The try for the extra point failed again. The game ended with the Orioles on the heavy end of the score 19-0. The line ups were as follow's: Coldwater Wins From Orioles in Opener, 20-7 In their first game of the year, play ed at Bennett park, the Charlotte Ori- oles w'ere defeated by a strong Cold- water team by a score of 20-7. Coldwater won the toss and elected to defend the east goal. Weaver of Coldwater kicked to Mayhew, who tiK)k the ball to midfield. Several line plays failed to gain for Charlotte, and Cheney punted to Simonds who re- turned the hall to his own twenty-rtvo yard line. Charlotte recovered a Cold- water fumble and scored on a pass from Cheney to Ladd. Cheney boot-?d the extra point. Coldwater tied ths score when Weaver ran back Cheney' kick for a touchdown. Simonds scoi ed later on a plunge through the llr.j for a second wore. The last scoro came on a pass from Simonds to Wheeler. Weaver and Simond starred for Coldwater while Tullis and Ladd starred for Charlotte. Among the Charlotte graduates now attending Michigan State, are Ed. and Bill Cheney.

It will be remember- ed that Dr. Slutz gave the first gradua- tion address in the new building. Dr. Slutz’s talk was interesting to hear, as each story he told had a mor- al to it. Each story stressed the fact that cheap literature is not worth the time it takes to read. Dr. Slutz has some four hundred stories of different types in his files so that he has one to fit every occasion. Hans Kardel Gives Talk To American Government Class Hans Kardell. a popular business man. spoke to Jacob Van Vessem’s American Government class, last Thursday, on Denmark, his native land. Mr. Kardel stated: Denmark is about one-third the size of Michigan and is ruled by a king. However, the Socialist party has a large share of the lawmaking power. About 40 per cent of the population are farmers, and the rest are fishermen and trades- men. The school system in Denmark ranks among the highest. The chil- dren are compelled to attend school1 from seven to 14 years of age. They do not move from one room to an other but stay In one room all day. They have six hours of study, from 8 o’clock in the morning until 2 o’clock in the afternoon, for six days a week. When the students get out of school they return home and do their home work. Studies are compul sory and every student must take gym- nastics one hour a day. After a student graduates he de- cides upon his future. If he is going to be a farmer or a tradesman he must! serve as an apprentice for four or five years depending upon the trade. A farm apprentice must serve four years then he can go on a farm as a fore- man. After serving as a foreman, he travels around the country working here and there. Mr. Kardel returned to his homeland this year to visit many of his old friends and relatives. His talk was enjoyed by every student who heard him.

There is to be a program in the auditorium one night during this time. Living poses of famous pictures will be given. Pictures are a means of enriching and illumi- nating practically all school subjects.

On this day all mem- bers of the Girl Reserves will wear a tag upon which w’ill be printed the Girl Reserve emblem. This emblem stands for friendliness and the girls of this organization are supposed to meet and be- come acquainted with new students in order to make them feel more at home. Why not cooperate with the Girl Reserves and make this day a big success. On the Side Lines School days, school days. Poker, crap and pool days.” It may be a cute parody, but is it loyal school spirit to burst into song with the above words, and then snicker to the person beside you, I’ve for- gotten the real words, it’s been so long since I’ve heard them.” You could really show that “good ole Orange and Black fighting spirit” by losing your lovely voices In helping the cheer leaders out at the games instead of raising them in “sophisticated” parodies like the one above. (If you do both, re- member it’s a great life, if you don’t weaken.) But now my children, if you are going to be downcast, or hurt because of the cruel, cruel things printed here about your favorite melody, come forth with those cherished words, if only so that once more we may see your shining faces wreathed In cherubic smiles, to cheer our battling Orioles on to victory. Of course, there are those who show their school spirit by not even going to the games, or, if they do. merely to look mildly amused or definite- ly bewildered during the yells. Are you one of these persons? Limelight Leaders Well, after running all over school and town trying to locate this popular senior lad and finally finding him down on Pearl St., near a certain little tap-dancer’s house, I persuaded him to give me a brief outline of his private, and thus far, unex- plored life. (Ahem!) If you don’t know as yet who this person is I’ll explain by saying he is none other than that charming young mayor of C. H. S., that overwhelming personality, that new football star, your own Eddie Morey. Whew! now that I’ve gotten all of that introduction out, I’ll tell you some real news about Ed’s private likes and dis- likes. Mayor Morey’s favorite foods are french fried potatoes and goolash. Of course, he’ll eat most anything, but then what boy won't? Ed is very fond of school and plans on studying engineering after he finishes high school. Science and civics are his favorite subjects, you don’t suppose teach- ers could be in this choice, also? Eddie's favorite sport is football and his hobbies are peddling pa- pers and learning to tap dance. Now. I wonder why the tap dancing? ? ? These last two summers Ed has spent traveling, here, there and everywhere. He has been in about sixteen states in the United States and also in parts of Canada. When asked what he disliked most in girls, he said. I think I dislike smoking and drinking, per- sonally.” And with that I guess we’ll have to close this little interview as Eddie must rush off to some other place. So. until next time—that’s all.

(Some- thing new and different.) odds and ends Home Rooms Start Program Some of the programs have been planned for the coming year, to take place in the various home rooms, Mondays, the third hour. In Miss Sue Glllam’s room they have chosen two themes to be carried out this semester. They are: world sports and social activities. At the present Byron Stockwell, James Spaniola. James Tracy, and Raymond Snyder are planning the pro- gram for next Monday. This program is to be based on football. The history of the game will be explained and what changes have taken place in the game itself. Also, a brief explanation of how the game is played will be given to better acquaint the students with football. Reports of outstanding sport announcers, players, and football authorities will be given at this time. The following Monday Miss Glllam has appointed Jane Peters, Dorene Snoke, Lester Roberts and Clarence Squibb, as i committee to give a mock dance. The room will be changed into a dance hall, for the time, and these persons will demonstrate the correct conduct on the dance floor. Also, the errors will be shown as well as correct conduct toward the chaperon. With these two programs for a start the room will con- tinue In this line for the rest of the semester. Mrs. Combs made the statement, Inasmuch as my home room is composed of juniors, we will spend a lot of time working on plans for raising money toward our prom and class expenses. Also, I would like very much to take up the study of parliamentary law. as It seems an important thing for high school students to study.” The students in Miss Colburn’s room have al- ready started their programs. Last week they had a debate in which everyone participated. The topic for this debate was College Education.” Every student was placed either on the negative or affir- mative and then all argued together. Miss Col- burn says. I believe it was one of the most inter- esting and fastest debates I ever listened to.” Com- mittees are appointed every marking period and each member on the committee has charge of one program. In the near future a spell-down is being planned wherein a question will be asked with each word. A health campaign is being carried on in Mrs, Marie Taylor’s home room. A week from next Mon- day they are inviting their parents to attend their home room session and talks will be given by the students on the importance of dental and physical examinations. Various students are interviewing doctors for their material and Mrs. Taylor hopes this will help all of the parents and students to become better acquainted with health rules and therefore have all necessary examinations made, thus having a perfect score of healthy persons this winter Programs will be carried out on special occasions such as Easter, Thanksgiving, etc., but other than that nothing further has been planned.

ORANGE BLACK Page 3 Charlotte Loses To Grand Ledge Orioles Unable to Withstand Blue and Yellow Drives Grand Ledge handed Charlotte their third defeat of the season Friday at Bennett park. So far this season Grand Ledge has won four straight games There's no getting around it. they've got a good team. Throughout the game they used a series of line plunges and end runs while the Ori- oles used end runs, line plunges, for- ward and lateral passes. Mux Tullls. regular quarterback, who missed out on the Mason game because of a sprained wrist, was out there making up for lost time Friday. Max says. Competition was getting so tough I had to get back. He also stated. The boys on both teams play- ed a good clean game.” Grand Ledge started the game by kicking to Charlotte. All through the first quarter. Grand Ledge promised an exciting game as they threatened Charlotte’s goal line consistently However. In the second quarter Cha lotte showed its efficiency and abllit as Tullis received Cheney's pass and ran IB yards for the first touchdown of the game. The extra point was blocked and the score was 6-0 in fa- vor of the Orioles at the end of the half. During the half, the band marched and added color and spirit to the oc casion. The Ledgers again kicked off to Charlotte at the beginning of the sec- ond half. Grand Ledge took the ball after Charlotte punted and ran it back to score a touchdown and jump ahead of the Orioles 7-6. The fourth quar- ter proved more exciting than the three previous periods because both teams were practically tied and want ed the next touchdown. During the early part of the fourth quarter Che- ney passed to Tullis who made a nice gain, putting the ball In the Ledger’s territory. After a series of plays. Charlotte fumbled and the Yellow and Blue recovered. From here the Grand Ledge gang started their final touch- down drive and Maguire scored his second touchdown of the game, mak- ing the score 14-6. It was soon after this play that the Orioles began a drive toward Grand Ledge’s goal with Malcolm Gobel Coach Gobel is now serving his third year as coach of the Orioles. His teams have been quite successful in every campaign. The coach came from Belding. where he had been coaching for six years. He attended Alma college before going to Belding. During the summer he went to the University of Minnesota for several weeks to attend a national coaching school. a series of passes. The fans got a thrill when Cheney passed to Ladd, who lateraled to Toutant, who in turn lateraled to Mayhew. The line-ups for the game were as follows: Charlotte Grand Ledge Ladd LE Klingman Shaffer LT Boyer Morey LG Barker Chandler C Gates Lea RG Hayes Reynolds RT Bouch Gordon RE Gilbert Tullis QB Blough Toutant LH Harrod Cheney RH Dixon Mayhew FB Maguire A. C. CHENEY Funeral - Ambulance Service Hospital Beds - Day-Night Both Phones JAMES B. CHURCH Oriole Feathers Injuries: The fatal word for the Charlotte football team. The list of casualties this year exceeds that of past seasons by far. It seems that every player on the team goes to the field limping or holding a rib. Max Tullis out with a sprained wrist. El- dred Toutant with a twisted knee, and Vern Reynolds with a shoulder injury, are the most serious. Others also ( have bumps and bruises but continue to hold their places in the line-up. . CHS The football players were movie j actors on the gridiron the other day. Dr. Charles Snyder, a cameraman, took pictures of different plays, pos- es. and tackles of the team. “Gable Ladd and “Taylor Toutant were the ; heroes. This pass combination—Cheney to Ladd- seems to be having quite an effect on visiting teams. It connected for touchdowns in the Coldwater and Ionia games. The only trouble is, the boys have not been able to hold the other teams to lower scores. Char- lotte now has that fighting spirit and will do its best to win the remain- der of the games, for the school. They should, if the team recovers from old man injury.” Oct. 15th - Hunting Season Full Lines of Guns. Ammunition and Hunting Licenses at R. S. Spencer Co.

D. 1 AS ALWAYS IN CHARLOTTE IT’S Wood’s Drug Store YOUR HEADQUARTERS Home Economics Classes Visit Canning Factory The food classes visited the Char lotte Canning factory, Friday, Oct. 1 The tour started in the supply room. Many crates of raw spinach filled this room. They followed the process of canning spinach, through the aid of a guide. The spinach was put into a large cylinder made of coarse screen, that whirls the leaves around to shake out the dirt and small leaves. From the cylinder, It runs very slowly along a wide belt, where it is looked over by women. They pick out all the bad leaves and snap off the roots. This spinach is carried up stairs on a large belt and put into another large cylin- der. where it is washed. From here it goes into a large steamer to be steam- ed. A man removes the spinach from the steamer and puts it into a basket which in turn is emptied on a large table. Ladies put the vegetable into a ; can and weigh it. The can is filled with salty water. The can Is then sent ! to the capper where covers are placed on the cans. The cans are next taken to a cooker where they are processed. After they are processed they are put Into cold water and chilled. The girls watched the catsup-making process on the third floor. Tomato seeds are dryed at the fac tory. They are taken from the tomato and washed in a large screen cylinder revolving in water. They are taken from this to the drying building, which is across the road. Here hot air is blown through them until they, are perfectly dry. The girls all agreed that the tour proved to be very educational as well as interesting.

MICHIGAN. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 28. 1937 Issue 3 ‘The Patsy’To Be Given By Juniors Junior Class Shows Big Gain in Magazine Sales The Patsy” is the play chosen by this year's Junior class. It is a French royalty play. The entire cast was being selected in tryouts held the first of this week. Mrs. Alleen Combs stated: This year's Junior class is a group of good workers, and I believe our class play will be very good.” Miss Marion Nel- thorpe also stated: “I have seen •'The Palsy” play twice before and en- joyed it so much that I am anxious to see the Junior class put It on.” The class has done very well with the magazine and Republican-Trib- une subscriptions. They sold $218.50 of both subscriptions, making a clear profit of over $80.00 on the magazines alone. The Junior home rooms raced to see which one could sell the most sub- scriptions. Mrs. Combs' home room won. There were also special prizes for the individuals selling certain numbers of the magazine subscrip- tions. The junior who sold the most subscriptions was Elwood Satterlee. This class made $89.00 more on the subscriptions than last year's junior class. The date for the junior play is Wed- nesday, December 8. Travel Club Goes Ahead With Plans For the Year Many plans are being worked in the program of the Travel club this year. They are trying out a new system which, instead of having a speaker at each meeting, they will have one every other time. On the meeting in be- tween the spekers they will have some sort of party. These parties will be of various types. There will be a tobog- ganing party, many different kinds of roasts, sleigh rides and a hay rack ride and any other type the group decides upon. Miss Esther Mann was the first speaker to this club. She gave an ac- count of her trip abroad this sum- mer. The next meeting will be the first party and the kind has not, as yet been exposed. About forty are now enrolled in the club and most of these are girls. Mr. Van Vessem. the adviser, states. “There Is till an oportunity for a few male members to Join.” A trip Is to be taken at the end of the year, which Is customary of the travel club. Junior Dramatics The Junior Dramatics club has chos- en their officers and plan to make much progress this year. The club is limited to 20 members and there are now 12 people in it.

An- other paper raid is planned later. ♦ Student Council Changes The Honor Roll System Because of the increased population of ihe high school, the student council has had to change the honor roll sys- tem. The eligibility of students to at- tend the honor banquet will also be changed by the council. At the last meeting, the council con- sidered a clean-up project. A major project for the school year was also discussed. Several of the members have been helping Mr. Dykhouse with plans for the coming Halloween party.

It should be a mat- ter of personal pride with every student to cooper- ate and make a success of this affair. Before the community started these parties the townspeople used to look forward to Halloween with dread as a time when windows would be soap- ed. rubbish scattered over neatly trimmed lawns and porches, and a great deal of damage done to the town In general. But since the advent of this social entertainment the amount of damage has decreased steadily each year until last Halloween it was al- most negligible. This shows that the students can and do have a good time without damaging proper- ty. For after all what is a good time? Can we have one if we are responsible for some innocent person having to pay for damages caused by our thought- lessness? Surely a better time can be had if every- one knows that this has not been done. The Halloween party offers just the chance you’ve been waiting for to have a good time. If everyone does their best to make this annual fete again a success, the community can Justly be proud of their school system. So lets everyone be out and do his best to make the party go over big. Hunting Days The sounds in the woods and fields convince us that hunting days are here. Here, there, and everywhere the sound of guns shooting at some innocent rabbit or pheasant pene- trate the clear air. Some have the fun to shoot and chase game of all kinds, but others don't. They stand around and listen to the remarks of the so called hunters who tell of all the great shots he missed! Joseph Noggle says he likes to shoot starlings in front of his house. Well, that’s another phase of hunting. He might have blackbird pie. Horace Mann “If there ever was a cause, if ever there can be a cause, worthy to be upheld by all of toll or sac- rifice that the human heart can endure, it is the cause of education. In our country and in our times, no man is worthy the honored name of statesman who does not include practical educa- tion of the people in all plans of administration.” Thus says Horace Mann, the greatest educational reformer of all time. Without any previous educa- tion. he graduated from Brown university with the highest honors in the class. With this as a back- ground. he rose to great heights as a statesman in Massachusetts. He is chiefly responsible for the present system of state control of schools. National Education week will be from November 7 to 13. when his work will be honored by the entire nation.

Lois McIntyre Do You Know Why? Lime Light Leaders The American Youth Forum and The American Magazine are offering $7,500 in awards to the high school students who can think, to the students who know what they want their America of tomorrow to be and why. It is a challenge that every student in every high school should answer. It is up to you students of today to decide what the America of tomorrow is to be. In your hands lies the destiny of this nation. Are you going to let Democracy survive, religion live? Are you going to adopt Socialism or Fascism? You may easily answer yes or no, but can you tell why? Do you know why you want these things? Are your answers based on reason, your reason on fact? If this is not true, you are not capable of taking over the helm of your government. You must know not only what”, but also why” before you can con- sider yourself a citizen capable of governing your country. r ------------------------------------------' Looking Ahead October 28—Corrington Marionettes (Watch them dance!)

Odds AND ENDS A suggestion: Why doesn’t some one get up in assembly and lead the entire student body in the singing of some old songs as well as new. Seems as though singing would add a bit more pep and zest.

ORANGE A BLACK Page 3 Charlotte Defeats Highlanders 7-0 Cheney Run� Seventy- Five Yards to Score Touchdown The excellent team work and co-op-' erati'Mi of every player on the team enabled the locals to win over the Hticblanders, 7-0, Friday afternoon at Howell. The fact that Howell had seven reg- ulars from last year in their line up this year proved that the game would not lx a pushover. Last year the Ori- oles won over Howell with a score of 48-6. a game in which Toutant, Che- ney. and Tullis scored six touchdowns. During the first half, both teams participated in a give and take battle, out of which no score was made. The Orioles set the pace in the third quar- ter when Cheney, on an exciting end run. full of twists, turn and pivots, sprinted 76 yards for the one and only score of the game. The pigskin sailed straight between the goal posts for the extra point. The third quarter ended 7-0 In favor of the Orange and Black eleven. Many times during the last quarter, both goals were threaten- ed hut the first downs that were nec- essary to make the goal didn’t appear, due to the strong defense of both teams. With less than a minute to go. the Orioles in Howell’s territory, started a drive for the goal that might have been a second touchdown had not the game ended. However, the game ended with the score 7-0 in fa- vor of Charlotte. The Orioles have had a hard time of It this year, due to the fact that through-out the season some of the ■ regulars have been laid up with in- juries acquired in practice or games. Now the boys are pretty well on their feet again and will hold high our colors in the last three games of the season. The line-up follows: for the game was as Charlotte Howell Ixidd LE Hahn Shaffer LT Joy Morey I i HofT Chandler C Hall Lea RG Heeg Reynolds RT Nichols Gordon RE Schmitt Tullis QB Smith Toutant LH Ben net Cheney RH Cook Mayhew FB Niles Officials: Johnson (NSTC). Lane (If SC). Oriole Feathers The Charlotte football team has be- come what you might call, victory starved. They have won one game since thut stormy night over at Ionia and the boys are hard at work sharp- ening their offense and defense for Eaton Rapids. We hope the boys have big appetites when they meet the Islanders in the annual batte. C. H. S. Basketball practice started a week ago Monday in the old gym. The boys at present are under the supervision of Jacob Van Vessem, the second team coach. The first team this year will be one of the best balanced teams that the Orioles have ever put on the floor, being composed of mostly Sophomores and Juniors who have one year behind them and will be a liable contender for the capital circuit basket ball championship. C. H. S. Bob Sparks, tall, well liked junior, has been handicapped by a bad knee injury since the opening of the current football season. The knee was further injured in the Hastings game and he will be out for the rest of the season. Being a clever pass receiver and a great defensive player. Bob will be very much missed by the team. Orioles To Face Boys Vo- cational School Tomorrow The Charlotte Orioles will face the Boys Vocational school on the home gridiron tomorrow. The Vocational team is a very- strong team this year. At the begin- ning of the season they start out very slow due to an assortment of new- material. but as the time rolls along they get better. They succeed in be- ing in very good shape just when the Orioles are scheduled to play them, must be a coincidence. They have lost two games and won two games while the Orioles have lost four games and won twro. Next on the list is St. Johns, which also Invades Oriole territory. They rely mainly on their passing attack which the Orioles should be able to smother in a cloud of dust. They lost to Mason and Grand Ledge in the con- ference schedule. Their scoring twice in the Grand Ledge game was due to two passes. Hastings Hands Charlotte Fourth Defeat of Year 2 I - 6 Yellow and Blue Prove too Powerful For Orange and Black Charges For the second time in as many years the Charlotte Orioles were de- feated by the Hastings team at Has- tings. a week ago Friday, by a score of 21-6. Gail Cheney, one of onr regular eleven, was unable to play last Fri- day because of his grandmother’s fu- neral. The Hastings' high school band dis- played their school colors when they marched around the football field and played their school colors when they game. The game proved exciting even though the Orioles lost by a margin of two touchdowns. Throughout the first quarter neither team was able to score. In the second quarter, Has- tings chalked up the first touchdown of the game with I-aBallister carrying the ball. Again in the third quarter Hastings managed to make an opening and Bessmer sprinted over for the second touchdown. The tables turned for a while, however, when Mayhew scored Charlotte’s only touchdown in the last quarter. Following Mayhew’s touchdown. Bessmer again scored for Hastings and the game ended 21-6 in favor of the opponents. Cagers Start Basketball Practice In Old Gymnasium Basketball practice started last Mon- day. October 18th. There are about 10 boys signed up. and there will be many more out as soon as football sea- son is over. Jacob Van Vessem is coaching both teams until after foot- ball season, after which. Coach Mal- colm Gobel will take over the train- ing of the first team and Mr. Van Ves- sem will continue with the second team. JAMES B. CHURCH Richelieu Food Store FOR TYPEWRITERS ..........C.

A a box of cards contains twenty-one fine cards while the other box con- tains twelve assorted wrappers, with cards of tape and several packages of stickers included. Each box sells for one dollar. The class plans to make an extensive campaign on each of its projects rather than have a lot of small projects for the year.

Eaton Rapids Defeats Orioles In Annual Game Orioles Put Up Scrap To Hold Cardinal Eleven Shaffer, Reynolds, Cheney, Gordon, Morey Play Last Game for Charlotte The Charlotte Orioles were defeated by a strong Eaton Rapids team by a score of 12-0 In the annual Armistice Day tilt played at the Eaton Rapids athletic field. The Orange and Black, although de- feated, held the highly touted Island- ers to two touchdowns In the second and fourth quarters respectively. The Orioles also displayed some fine of- fense at times to keep the Eaton Rap- ids eleven on their toes. Captain Cheney kicked to Captain Trimble to open the game. Charlotte held the Eaton Rapids eleven and the Cardinals were forced to kick. Char- lotte Immediately took the offensive, and made two first downs in a row, be- fore being stopped on the thirty yard line. Eaton Rapids took the ball on downs and began to launch its attack on the Orange and Black team. Runs by Trimble. Pollet and Powers, gave the Islanders a first down on their own forty-two yard line. The Islanders were unable to make enough yardage for the first down, and Pollet punted to Tullis, who returned It to the Eaton Rapids forty-eight yard line, before being stopped. After Charlotte was unable to gain ground. Cheney punted into the end zone and the ball was brought out to the twenty yard stripe to be put In play. The Orioles al- though outplayed by the Islanders, kept them in their own territory dur- ing the greater part of the first quart- er. Second Quarter Both teams opened up with a pass- ing attack early in the second quarter. Eaton Rapids showed its strength by keeping the Orioles well back in their own territory throughout the second quarter. The Orioles pass de- fense weakened allowing the Islanders to toss several passes. Powers pass to Trimble late in the period netted forty yards and a touchdown for Eaton Rapids. The kick for the extra point went wide and the Islanders were lead- ing Charlotte 6-0. Eaton Rapids threat- ened again in the second quarter but the Orange and Black held them in check for the remainder of the period. Third Quarter Charlotte received the kick-off at the beginning of the second half and Tullis carried It to the Charlotte forty yard line before being hit. The Orioles attack functioned on the next few plays and the Orange and Black grid- ders pushed the ball past midfield. A pass intended for Ladd was intercept- ed by Trimble who returned it five yards before being tackled. A few plays later, Tullis turned the tide again by intercepting a pass intended for Pollet, and returning it to mid- (Continued on page 3) Page 2 ORANGE Sl BLACK ORANGE BLACK Published Bi-weekly by the Journalism Class of Charlotte High School Quill and Scroll International Flrat Place Award, '35, '36, '37 Circulation 575 Subscription Rates, $.75 Executive Board Staff Publisher...........................

Pause in the swiftly moving life about you and contemplate what you have done, what others have done for you. Interpret yourself—what are you as you are? Why do you do as you do? Are you proud of the fact that you are as you are? Do you realize that what is yours was given you? Do you realize that what is yours is the gathering of the ages, that yours is the herit- age of centuries. This is the season of Thanksgiving—a period set aside so that we may come to recognize our heritage and be thankful. Is It Lost or Found? In Appreciation The Charlotte high school football team which | has been under many physical handicaps during the current season, came to life in the latter part of their schedule to maintain over a 500% average. In the first part of the season the team was weakened by the loss of several first string players The Orioles have tried to fulfill the school’s idea of a good team. The loyal support of the - students and the band has given them the added i punch to win games. Coach Gobel is mainly responsible for the Orioles fine showing in the games and should be given considerable credit for the success of the boys. The squad as a whole was very light this year and had to rely on passes and laterals to make gains and touchdowns They were mostly a sopho- more-junior team and should make a fine showing next year. The students congratulate the coach and the team for their brilliant season. You’ve had both your ups and downs, but we re proud of you. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | f;; i Lost and Found FOUND: 6 pens 4 eversharps 1 jacknife 2 rings 1 compass 1 key 1 library book (Marches of the North) 1 comb 1 handkerchief 1 triangular 2 pairs of gloves 1 tie clasp 1 literature book and report card 1 pin Caretaker. Lois McIntyre. 4.4.4.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ “I have lost it!” is a common saying about this school. Seldom one hears, I have found it!' Sometimes things seem to disappear into thin air and are never seen again by the owner. Now that the school furnishes the students with lockers there should not be any reason for things being lost or stolen, unless a pen or pencil slides from a book onto the floor as the student is passing down the hall. J , . Many of the students are honest and kind, returning the articles that they have found. For those that do not know who the owner is. the school has made a place for the lost and found articles, with a caretaker who is at the department morning. We Thank Thee Your wandering reporter was asked to get the ideas of a few of the students and teachers on what they are thankful for at this Thanksgiving season, so here goes. Bob Ladd—“I am thankful that I was able to play in the Eaton Rapids game, although we did •ose.” •Rube” Snyder “I am sure glad Lansing is j only eighteen miles away and that dad's got a model A Ford. (What’s her name. Raymond?) Mr. Noggle— I am very thankful that I only have that Jack Mate in one of my classes ’ (Oh Limelight Leaders We found our dignified senior class president sound asleep in the senior study hall. After vigor ously shaking him for a minute he drowsily opened one eye and asked what was wanted. We had to ask him twice before he Anally understood we’d like to have a few facts about his life for our dear readers. Then our hero, Dale Bryan, laid back his : ears and gave”. It seems Dale's cherished possession and all around favorite is his clarinet. He plays in both the baud and orchestra and spends much of his spare time practicing. At the rate ho is going, some day he may be a second Benny Goodman. Who knows? Anyway, he deserves to be. As to food, he likes most anything and can make a Thanksgiving dinner look like the wreck of the Hesperus (and probably will). Dale hopes to study medicine at the University of Michigan when he graduates next spring. He wants to specialize in some field of medicine. Track seems to be the president's favorite sport and he's eagerly awaiting the coming of spring so he can get out there and show his heels. As senior president, business manager of the rharhian. and chairman of the finance committee, Dale is kept pretty busy around school. If you don't believe he's busy—just ask him. Dusting the coal, shining the sky hooks, and other duties around a local drug store keeps Dale occupied before and af- ter school and on Saturdays. All In all It’s a wonder how he can do so many things ns capably as he does. On the subject of girls he has little to say except that he dislikes to see them smoking or drinking. His favorite song is Stardust” which he thinks is the best piece ever composed. And he ! adds that he doesn't like Veni Veni and other ‘senseless” songs! After this cynical thrust we thought it better to leave Dale to his sleeping. Just Notes We knew the snake which escaped from the Biology room would show up sooner or later—it did—at the Halloween party. A few of the weaker sex were in hysterics until some brave eighth grad- er manfully carried It out. Today he is a man! Mr. Van Vessem told the sixth hour Civics class how to feed babies—he seemed to know quite a bit about the subject—Hmn! The Girl Reserves are going around school carrying pillows and wearing foolish hats—don't worry it's only part of their initiation. CVD' nNd end0 noon and night. If the found articles are not claimed before a month or two an auction is held and then they are sold, never to be owned by the original owner again. Why don’t you take advantage of this depart- ment? Machines John C. Winston gives as one definition of a machine this: a machine is a combination of people acting together for a common purpose. Therefore, our school is a machine and the common purpose is to get an education. In order to have an engine that is really worth while we must have the co-operation of all the students. Each student constitutes a part of this machine and unless each person does his part the machine cannot function. Looking Ahead November 24—Thanksgiving assembly. (What’s it going to be?) November 25—Thanksgiving vacation. (They've got something there.) December 3—East Lansing here. (Come on team, let's get a good start!) December 7—Philip Foxwell assembly. (The hand is quicker than the eye.) December 8—Junior Play. (Good luck. Juniors.) December 10—Hastings, here. (Yea, team yea!) ......._____________________ ..... - - - - --4 yeah!) Miss Collins— I'm so thankful that I only have one home room. It’s so much fun.” Barbara Hamilton— I’m sure thankful that I have a sweet temper.” (What do you think about it. Bud?) Dorene Nicol—“I'm glad I only lost a quarter on the game Instead of fifty cents. (Me too. Dorene.) Getting Around Even if Charlotte did lose The Little Brown Jug.” the football team should be congratulated on the precision with which It held the Islanders Armistice Day. Better luck next year fellows! Mrs. Kipllnger has a varied collection of plants in her window up there on third floor. Have you noticed them? The C. H. S. music makers made a fine showing against the Islanders' band. Didn't Eaton Rapids show good sportmanship by decorating one-half of their goal posts with orange 'n' black and the other half with maroon 'n' gray? We wonder how our drummer boy obtained his puffekly wonuful discolored eye. You Should Hate Been There When... —Dora Wilkinson didn't have her lesson.—Mrs. Kiplinger’s fifth hour Literature class tried to recite My Heart Leaps Up”.—Sid Nielsen found mustard In his pocket.—Doug Sherman didn't chew gum.— Ed Morey didn't fall asleep in class—A senior chased after a freshman—then you should have been there! Remembrances: Remember when we used to write in each other's autogragh book such little ditties as: You may fall from a mountain, you may fall from above: but for heaven’s sakes don’t fall in love.” And your secret passion would always write: Roses are red. violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you.” Then there were the ones about safety pins and twins and about the girls you left on the hill. On the last page you'd always find— By hook or by crook I’ll be the last one to write in this book. Remember? Odds: About the game: Ladd— Well fought. Cheney— Glad it’s over. Mate— Nice game from the bench. Worse than bad moments: To be walking through a crowd talking to a friend beside you about the time you shot that lion in Africa—and then notice the friend is no longer there! And stuff: Mr. Noggle stated that the dance that Sue Gillam didn’t give at the teachers’ party was very interesting. Wonder how many informal engage- ments there are in high school. Women never change. An archeologist in Egypt found the re- mains of a vanity set used back in 700 A. D. In- cluded in the set was a pair of eye brow pluckers Oh. me! It might be interesting to note that there are about 50 bicycles out in the bike lot. Why not: Why isn't the American flag floating from it mast every day instead of once or twice a month.

The Orioles punted after being unable to advance the ball any farther into the Cardinals' territory. Eaton Rapids was held in its own end of the field for the remainder of the third period. The score still remained 6-0 in favor of Eaton Rapids. Fourth Quarter The Charlotte team fought back hard in the final quarter in an effort to score, however the Islanders' power house knocked at Charlotte's goal line and finally pushed another touchdown over Again the try for the extra joint went wide and the score was then 12-0. Charlotte received the kick off and Tullls ran it to his own forty-five yard line. On the very next play. Cheney swept across the field for another seven yards. Charlotte, aided by a flock of Raton Rapids subs, worked the sleeper play, which Is ns old as the hills. Cheney faded back and shot a long pass to Ladd on the fifteen yard line At this point. Eaton Rapids sent their regulars back into the game to prevent the Orioles from scoring. The Charlotte drive went to the Eaton Rapids two yard line and was stopped Neither team threatened after this and the game ended 12-0 In favor of Eaton Rapids. Both teams played a brilliant game. Seniors who played their last game for Charlotte were: Jimmy Shaffer. Ed Morey. Gail Cheney. Vern Rey- nolds, Carl Gordon and Rolland Weav- er.

MEN’S and WOMEN’S APPAREL At Vaughn Ragsdale Late Rally by Orioles Defeat St. Johns Eleven Touchdowns in Last Four Minutes Clinch Victory For Charlotte The Charlotte Orioles won 13-7 in their first game with St. Johns, at Bennett Park. November 5. This game proved to be one of the most thrilling games of the season, with both teams held scoreless during the first half. In the third quarter Allen, quarterback from St. Johns, pushed the pigskin over for the first touchdown of the game. From that time on the game moved at top speed. The most alert eyes could not follow some of the breath taking plays. The most thrilling play of the game occurred in the fourth quarter when Cheney passed to Ladd who had cross- ed the goal and fell on his back. Ladd reached in the air and picked out Cheney's pass for the first touchdown for Charlotte. Following this spectacular play. Charlotte kicked to St. Johns with two minutes and five seconds left to play. Charlotte recovered the kick-off on St. Johns thirty yard line and a few plays worked the ball down into a touch- down position. From there Toutant carried the ball through center for the final touchdown of the game. The fin- al score being 13-7 in favor of Char- lotte.

Maybe football just naturally agrees with him or is there some other reason? Perhaps if he ran around the block a few times It might help. CHS Well, the football season is tucked away for another year and soon the basketball season will start. The boys are practicing already for the first game which will be held December 3. with East I,ansing. It is to be hoped that the students will support the basketball team as well as they have the football boys. For, after all, the rooters in the stands make half the game. CHS The boys seen� to have taken a sud- den liking for the shower rooms. It used to be they would fight to take their showers and be the first ones out. But now they all loaf around and seem to enjoy themselves. Maybe the constant supply of hot water in the showers has something to do with the change of heart. Oriole Gridders Win Four Lose Five During Season The Charlotte high, football team, after a very bad start came to life to maintain almost a five hundred per- cent average, winning four and losing five. The Orioles did not do so well In the first part of the season, losing three out of the first four games, losing to Coldwater. Grand I.edge and Mason respectively. The Orange and Black gridders won the next three games subduing Howell. Boys Vocational, and St. Johns in that order. The final game was played at Eaton Rapids, where the powerful Islanders conquered the Orioles 12 to 0. It was Charlotte's fifth defeat of the season.

Miss Helen Intramural Sports Policy To Be Changed by Gobel Greater Number of Students Receive Chance On Interclass Teams Plans for a complete senior high in- tramural program are being made by Coach Gobel. The plan will enable anyone interested in basketball to participate. Coach Gobel states: The system that we are trying to work out will en- able each class to enter as many teams as it would like to. The class- es in previous years have entered just one team, and only a few fellows had the chance to play. Under the new system, the teams would be limited to eight members. Names of participants from each separate class will be placed in a box and teams will be drawn out. In this way no team will have all of the bet- ter players on its list. Each team will play a round-robin schedule, on a winner-loser basis. Games will be scheduled for probably three nights a week. Senior high students who are in- terested in the program are urged to fill in the blank below and place it in a box for this purpose, which will be found In the hall on the first floor.

WRIGHT Science Club Divided Into Three Sections This Year The science club, headed by Robert Parkhursl, is divided into three sec- tions this year, radio photography, and experimental. In the radio division the new mem- bers are working on simple one-tube sets. Several of the old members are supervising them. Later, after learn- ing some of the fundamentals of radio more complicated Bets will be con- structed. The photography division has a full j program mapped out for the year. At present the members are engaged in discussing the good and bad points of photographs which they have taken. There are quite a number of cameras of all sizes and shapes scattered among the members so there will probably be plenty of pictures snapped. The experimental division has not done much as yet but plan to begin work soon. Members of the experi- mental groups can work on any scien- tific problem they desire. A Joint meeting of the three divi- sions are held once every two months to display what each group has been doing. The club now contains about 30 members which is the most it has ever had. F. F. A.

Somewhere on the North Pole. Dear Santa: I hope you aren’t too busy this year to remem- ber some of us here In Charlotte high school. We are located south of you in Michigan near Lansing, and please don’t stop at Eaton Rapids, thinking It is Charlotte. Please see that Ed. Morey gets privacy with his dates. Hilda Kelly wants a nice big limousine be- cause nine miles is a long way from town. (Must be a boy friend.) Bill McClintock wants a skooter. Mr. Van Vessem wants some cookies.

The first celebration of this day on record is that of May 20 in Alexandria. Egypt. 200 years after the death of Christ. About 300 A. D. the date was changed to December 25. We owe our Santa Claus to the jovial Dutch settlers of New York, for really he is none other than their St. Nicholas, the patron saint of children. In England and America little children hang up their stockings in a row before the fireplace and Santa, we are told, rushing down from the north in a sled drawn by reindeer, scrambles down the chimneys and fills them from the pack on his back. In some of the Baltic lands the gifts are sup- posed to be brought by the Christ child (Kris Kringle) himself. In France the children place wooden shoes on the hearth to receive the presents which Father Christmas (Bonhomme Noel) brings. Norwegian children have a lot of fun hunting toys which have been hidden in unexpected places. An old Scandinavian custom is that of placing a sheaf of grain on a tall pole in the door yard for Wyatt. Martha Love wants a boy friend. Mrs. Kiplinger extends her Good Will” to all. Gordon Nielsen wants a new bathing suit to basque in the Florida sun. Doreen Nlcol wants some exciting dates and an alarm clock. Vern Scott wants a bull-fiddle.

In Italy presents are drawn from the Urn of Fate . Some of the gifts are 'blanks but each blank” is eventually re- placed by an actual gift. Christmas noels can be heard in almost every country on Christmas eve.

Remember ’Way Back When— Limelight Leaders After hours of persuasion this popular secretary of C. H. S. finally consented to divulge a few secrets about her private life . This ambitious young lady is planning to enter Ford hospital next year. When asked about her hobbies she reported that dancing is tops, after which follow driving and the piano. Judging from most petite girls” one w’ould think that perhaps they had a very small appetite. But. oh no! Miss Archer informed us that she loves to eat and the beef steak and whip cream were her favorite foods. Mmmmmmm! Upon the subject of boys Phyllis said that smoking was all right but drinking just didn’t go. She added that she dislikes noisy people. Her favorite sports are basketball and swim- ming. while her favorite subject in school is civics. (Why does Civics seem to be such a popular sub- ject?) Phyllis’ cherished possession Is her secretary- ship of C. H. S. which Bhe performs most capably. In the year of ’31 jig saw pu7,zles flooded the country? We would spend hours and hours trying to assemble it only to find out there was a mixture of two puzzles. Business concerns advertised through this country-wide craze.

Jim” Drake would scare us by almost over- turning the old Oldsmobile when he parked north of the building? Mac and Bob used to sing so beautifully over station WLS.

New Year Aims Each new year brings new joys, new sorrows, and new opportunities. With our new building equipped to meet almost any c r I s is it should be possible for every class to do bigger and bet- ter things in the coming year than ever before. Following, the c 1 ass presidents have spoken for each class in regard to whnt they hope the new year will hold in store for their particular classes: David Shaull: The class of ’43 wishes to set itself earnestly to see what it was made to do and then set itself earnestly to do it. Phyllis Thornton: The class of ’42 wishes to be the most courteous class in school. Carroll Stringham: During the new year this class will sponsor a student mixer. We hope it will be the best one yet. The class of 1941 aims to be the mightiest of all mighty seniors In a few years. Vada Miller: I hope that the fine spirit of co-operation shown by this class of 1940 will be extended into next year so that we may show a great deal of progress. Bob Ladd: The Juniors hope to give the seniors a prom which will surpass all others in splendor. Dale Bryan: We. the senior class, wish to an- nounce as our objectives, the following: To lenve for the future senior classes fine examples of Schol- arship. leadership, integrity, ambition, and sports- manship; to publish a superior Charhian; and to perfect plana for the best senior trip ever exper- ienced In the history of Charlotte high school. What does the new year hold in store for you, and you, and you individually? (VD Nd end® It’s the sportsmanlike thing to do: A member of the visiting team is about to at- tempt a foul shot. Suddenly from the audience some sap or group of saps start yelling—yelling in an at- tempt to make a man playing on a foreign floor mud- dle his shot. Yet that very same man roars with anger when some one starts whooping it up when his school’s man is in the same position. Come on! Let's have it quiet so the fellows, opponent or not. can think. Odds: What they think about the cold: Frankie Prindle—It’s warmer today than it was yesterday, and yesterday it was crisp. Mary Helen Cowan—I don’t think. Dorothy Otto—Coldest I’ve ever seen it. Yours Truly—It’s all right if you can like it; if you can like it tell me how. Worse than bad moments: He glided by a group of admiring youngsters with a look of superior-plus upon his face, whirled into a graceful figure eight and ended up on the count of ten—still on the ice. And Stuff: Wonder what Phyllis Archer wants to keep out of the papers. Vern Scott's motto seems to be. I want to know everybody, at least their phone number and ad- dress.” That certain group of freshmen socialites are out stepping most of the seniors lately. There's nothing like the thrill one gets about the lobes when an icy wind swishes about the fringes of a new hair cut. The prompter in the junior’s huge success was placed comfortably under the table behind the davenport. Looks as if Carl Rochester Is really going places. And still more stuff: Put loud plaid clothes upon their bodies and large black mustaches under their noses and barber poles betwixt them, and the teachers quartet would be all set. No kidding they really do hit a wicked chord. For most interesting magazine article of last month I’ll take the one about the bee in the Novem- ber Reader Digest”. How's come: Why is it they call it hamburg when it never saw a hog?

Page 6 ORANGE BLACK Christmas Tree Tells Of Experiences In High School Ye roving reporter, on an assign- ment? scurried down the stairs to “in- terview C. H. S.'s beautiful yuletide tree which stands quietly in the south- west corner of the lobby in the new building. When asked to relate the story of its life, the tree replied. I began my journey from the Houghton Lake re- gion. where a man cut me down and loaded me on a pickup with other trees that were headed for Charlotte. It was a long trip but we finally ar- rived at Bob’s Market and were un- loaded. After standing outside the, store a while a dilapidated Chevy j rolled up and stopped. I took partic- ular notice of this car because it con- tained some high school students. They looked at us and finally selected me. Was I happy! I really didn’t know where I was going but I knew I would be decorated to make someone happy. I was put on top of the car. taken to the high school, unloaded, and carried into the building. After much deliberation they placed me on a stand and put me in the corner. Lights were strung, tinsel placed, and soon I portrayed the spirit of Christ- mas to my admirers. I was soon left alone to my think- ing and the clicking of the clock. As I stood there alone I began to think— to wonder what all the students would say about me in the morning. In the midst of my thoughts I was startled when the clock spoke to me and ask- ed me what I was for. I was shocked, but I related my story and what I was to convey to the people who saw me. The clock spoke up at length and ex- plained. “Y’esterday a box was placed on this table under me into which gen- erous students dropped their pennies ; and nickels. They said you are the fii � t Christmas tree the high school has ever had; so naturally I wondered what Christmas was all about. We chatted a little while before we settled down to rest for the busy day that was ahead. The next morning the janitor came, admired me. and went about his bus- iness. Presently teachers began to arrive and my lights were turned on so when the students came they could admire and respect me. Then the boys and girls began to stroll in. one by one. two by two. remarking how beau- tiful I was. and passed on to their classes. Here is where I interrupted with a querie, “Could you tell me what some of the folks said about you as they went by? I could tell you some of the re- marks but I wouldn’t know the names of the people who made them, came the answer. Well, never mind I’ll get some statements and give you a rest. Good- by. Goodby and Merry Christmas to you and the rest of C. H. S. Starting on a tour through the halls I asked various people what they thought of the tree. Here are some of the answers I received: “It 8 about time we had something around here other than parties to sug- gest Christmas”.—Jack Mate. It’s a treat for a penny —Law- rence Rottomley. It’s all right and it didn't break | anybody —Fred Van Vleck. I think it’s all right — Bill Lowe. I think it’s beautiful —Raymond Snyder. Becoming —Frank Kline.

School Students Attracted By Sports As Winter Sets In Now that winter has finally engulf- ed us in her soft blanket and covered the faces of ponds and creeks with a smooth shining surface of ice. the click of skates and the merry cries of skiers can be heard most any after- noon or evening. Many happy faces were turned away from books and school to linger on the softly falling flakes that swirled and i billowed gracefully to the ground. There still isn't quite enough snow for good sliding but skis will slip lightly over the smooth surface. Seeing the sun come out and the snow begin to melt, cheerful coun- tenances would turn to frowns. By their grimaces one can always spot a lover of winter sports, be it skiing, skating, tobogganing, or snow sliding. When the thermometer hits zero is when many think that the fun really begins for the clang of steel against ice is music to most anyone’s ears. Whether gliding effortlessly over (he glassy surface or engaged in an intricate bit of tag none can deny the joys of skating no matter how low the temperature. There is something about a colorful group of noisy skaters swinging breathlessly along on magical skates «hat will set the blood tingling in your veins and bring color to your cheeks no matter how cold you are.

When mother and father take sides with his favorite in an argument be- tween their two daughters, trouble is certain to begin, even in the best of families. So it is no wonder that any- one in the well regulated Harrington home is upset, while the series of events following, only complicate matters further. Finally, through the unselfishness of Patricia, the younger. Grace makes up her mind and things gradually straighten themselves out after many tears and arguments. Characters in the Play Patricia Harrington, played by Rosemary Fielder, is a sweet, unspoil- ed girl, badly treated by her sister and mother, who is trying to keep her in the background until Grace is safely married. Bill Harrington, played by Carl Rochester, a meek traveling salesman, tries to give his favorite. Patricia a break, but meets much opposition from Mrs. Harrington and Grace. Jo Jane Murray takes the part of Mrs. William Harrington, a hyster- ical woman who has enough social ambitions for the entire family. She tries anxiously to marry her older daughter, Grace into a wealthy, and socially prominent family. Tony Anderson, a generous, eligible young bachelor thinks himself in love with Grace, but—David Elies takes this part. Grace Harrington, played by Mary Nancy Rowley, is her mother’s favor- ite daughter. She is spoiled, fickle, and selfishly thinking of herself al- ways. Hilly Caldwell, another young and eligible bachelor, is in love with Grace, and even though they quarrel, his conquest wins out in the end. This part is played by K. A. Ander- son. Sadie Buchanan, a society girl. who. in the few minutes she is seen causes enough trouble to nearly break up the family. Pauline Thompson takes this part. Francis Patrick O'Flaherty, play- ed by Jack Youngs, is an elderly gentleman who, unknown to him at the time, starts the troubles which were harboring in the Harrington family. Robert Parkhurst takes the part of 'Trip” Busty, the taxi driver. He provides many laughs because of his impudence and independence. Tickets are now on sale for twenty- five and thirty-five cents. Reserved seats may be obtained at Wood’s Drug store for no extra charge. The tic- kets are being sold by the members of the Junior class. ■i fcl Front Row: Ruth Adams, Margery Garvey.

Student and Alumni Dance Features of Xmas Vacation The main events which took place at the school during the holiday sea- son were the Christmas mixer and the Alumni dance. Keith Wright’s orchestra furnished the music for the Christmas mixer which was held in the school Friday evening, December 17, and was spon- sored by the Hi-Y. The gym was at- tractively decorated in Christmas col- ors and trees. The chairman for the evening was Emerson Aid.

Conquers Islanders In Thrilling Game Packed House Watches Game The Charlotte Orioles went to town Friday by taking the undefeated Eaton Rapids Cardinals 28-25. The home team lead throughout the first half, and allowed the visitors little lead during the last. Charlotte took a lead of 6 to 1 in the first quarter with two baskets by Ladd and a field goal by Chaudler. Eaton Rapids, missing shots consis- tently. scored its first point on a foul shot by Basing, but that was as far as they got in the first quarter due to the strong defensive work of Tullis and Toutant. In the second quarter the Cardinals began to work a little smoother and pulled up within three points of Charlotte’s lead. Two bas- kets by Trimble featured Eaton Rapids’ sudden return to life. Char- lotte was held to two field goals by Sonny” Chandler and the half ended with Charlotte out in front 10-7. Opening the third quarter both teams began to score freely.

Who is going to do the studying to reach that goal? Is it you, your classmate, or the one sitting next to you in exams? Speaking of exams, it is only natural that the mention of fair-play be made, along with other in- cidentals. It isn't going to help you to know what your next-door neighbor writes for the answers on a chemistry test. At the time it may mean an A, but Just remember that the person who seems to be your helper at the time of an exam isn't going to be with you when you go out looking for a job. He isn't going to be able to think or know of the ans- wers. when you'll be needing them later. Learn to do your own thinking and watch how much fur- ther you will get! Just think how proud you will be of yourself when you get back an exam paper and know that the mark is that which you have earned yourself by studying each and every lesson thoroughly. It won’t be the mark of someone sit- ting near you, but one that you deserve. This doesn’t mean to develop that technique called “cramming Just before a test. That isn't, always, the best idea either. You know that you don’t write your best when your mind is tired from studying all night, and just how long will you re- member what you tried to learn in one night of a mixture of chemistry, mathematics, literature, etc? Now that exams are so close why not all of us get together and each set a goal to be reached in each exam and then work to obtain that goal. After we have conquered it let’s not do away with working, but go on and make something of our- selves next semester and always. Limelight Leaders Amid the confusion of home room 154. as the juniors were filing in. this snappy black eyed, senior was finally located. As editor of the 1938 Charhian and vice president of the Footlighteers, she is a very busy girl. When asked what her ambition in life was she got that far away look in her eyes and finally answered by saying that she wished some day to be able to travel to those romantic lands of Hawaii and East Indies. Another one of her ambitions is to keep the home room quiet 3rd hour. (Those juniors!) Mary Maxine informed us that next year she is planning to attend Michigan Stale college. She is undecided as to what course she will follow but finds herself immensely interested in interior dec- orating. At the present time all her thoughts are cen- tered around one certain subject. She even lies awake nights thinking about U. Have you guessed it? Yes, you are right it is the Charhian. Her aim is to make this year’s book the best ever and she sincerely hopes the student body as a whole will enjoy it as much as they have in previous years. Her cherished possessions are her Boston bull dog. Duke, and white mittens. She loves to feast on turkey, dressing and all the other good things that go with it. And now for the boys. She thinks they are all right but says. Boys are nice in their place, but they should not be the main interest in high school.” Her hobbies are: reading, knitting, and listen- ing to her favorite jazz bands on the radio. At this moment those restless juniors again commanded her attention and all further question- ing was forgotten for the day. Sportrnanship Faithful supporters of the Charlotte and Eaton Rapids basketball teams filled the house nearly to capacity last Friday night. The game was played in the Charlotte high school gymnasium. In spite of the closeness of the game, good sportsmanship prevailed. After the game was over a survey was taken regarding the sportsmanship shown during the game. These are some of the comments received: Earl Meade. “It was a very splendid game on the part of both teams and of the audience.” Jay Dyk- house. Just about right.” Joseph Noggle, “Very good.” Arnold Koch. “Very good considering the ex- citement.” Kenneth Brown, Not bad for a close game. Coach Gobel, The sportsmanship on the part of the players was excellent. There was no deliberate fouling and it was a hard fought game. The conduct of the audience was the best we have had. Coach Yarger, of Eaton Rapids. Improved over last year's game.” Center Scott of Eaton Rap- ids. “Pretty good. I fell down only once. The Eaton Rapids team as a whole thought it was good. Sportsmanship is a very important factor in the promotion of good will among competing schools. Student Council Minutes The fifteenth meeting of the Student Council for this year was called to order by Mayor Morey. The roll call was taken and the minutes read and approved. Lynn Fowler made a motion that the Junior Dramatics sponsor the next mixer which will be held Jan. 28. The motion carried. Clarence Squibb gave a report on eligibility for the honor roll.

A few junior high girls were asked to vote for their favorite food and some of the choices are similar. The poll is as follows: Betty File admits that she prefers apple pie. June Wolcott wants jello while Frances Rybnikar would rather have fruit gelatin drowned in whipped cream. Beulah Beebe. Maxine Paton.

The first set of battles was fought January 5 by Fullerton's seniors vs. Teigler's Juniors, and Braden’s soph- omores vs. Weaver’s seniors. In the MEN’S and WOMEN’S APPAREL At Vaughn Ragsdale Nielsen Studio FOR Better I’liotogrupIiH Mason Cagers Trounce Oriole Quintet, 22-12 The Orioles were handed their sec- ond straight defeat, December 16. by a scrappy Mason five, 22-12. The game was held in the Mason high gym. The game was featured by the rough playing of both sides. Vaughn Rogers. Oriole guard was sent to the showers in the second quarter as was Bob Ladd in the third. All resulting from four personal fouls. In the first quarter Charlotte gain- ed a 7 to 1 lead but were quickly over- taken and were on the short end of the score 12 to 7 at the half. From there on the Mason sextet was never headed. Bob Ladd, although in the game for less than three quarters, led the Orioles in scoring. Saelens, Mason guard. led Mason with fourteen points. Tomorrow night the C. H. S. cagers will journey to Grand Ledge in the third conference game of the season. The Ledgers were the only team Charlotte was victorious over twice last season. The scores were. 28-13 and 21-11. first conflict the eleventh graders lost to the twelfth graders with a score of 23-28. Eleven fouls were made by the Juniors while the seniors had only two held against them. The second game ended with a disputed score but the controversy was settled by calling the score a tie. The next time these two teams play each other a five minute overtime has been plan- ned to further settle the situation. The freshmen are to have two teams in the senior league and two teams in the junior league. As yet the girls' interclass basket- ball schedule, under the direction of Miss Helen Collins, has not been plan- ned.

Mr. Brown has charge of the games. • • The second team played Nashville in a practice game last Wednesday and were defeated by two points. The first team played Dimondale the same night and won 37-22. • • • Miss Collins is in charge of the girls interclass basketball. We think the boys should know that the girls are just as interested in their own game as are the boys. Orioles To Oppose New Capitol Circuit Member The Charlotte high cagers will journey to St. Johns. Friday. January 18 to meet the newest member in the Capitol Circuit League. The Orioles have won one game out of three played this season, while the St. Johns team has lost both the Eaton Rapids and Mason games. Coach Gobel states. The boys on St. Johns' team are nearer the height of Charlotte's players, and we have an even chance of winning.” Jacob Van- Vessem. the second team coach says: “I anticipate a victory for Charlotte.

George's confidence in holding an all victory title, slackened somewhat however, when his team outplayed Weaver’s senior team January tenth by a margin of one point. Weaver's seniors wanted to beat Fullerton’s un- defeated team because it would put both senior league teams on the level of a won one lost one standard.

Counting the days, weeks and months is futile but by following our plan, even the longest days will seem short. This plan will rid you of “that old feeling and will make your not-so-pleasant tasks seem lighter. The plan is simple, all you have to do is to get busy early in the morning and get your work done, then you can take it easy. Every black cloud has a silver lining and so thro' these five months of apparent gloom you can see the days when you will be lying around doing uothing. just taking it easy. Yes. it’s a long, long way to vacation, the land of idleness and what-to-do. But if you start work- ing with the idea in mind that your reward will be a heap o' pleasure your work won't seem nearly so hard, because there’s as much fun in getting a good solid day’s work done (believe it or not) as loafing on a day in July. Mrs. Kiplinger’s Solarium Is Rare School Exhibit Limelight Leaders With her nose in her book and her heart in her mouth because of fear of final exams. I finally found her—Vada Miller. I mean. This popular young sophomore is the president of her class. Her greatest ambitions in life are to invent some- thing that will vanish freckles and to be a stenog- rapher for someone “up and coming” (there's your chance boys). Her most embarrassing moment was when she was sent to the Junior Study. For food, she cuooses ice cream and cake. Blue is her favorite color. She is at present taking a business course. The tender subject of boys was next touched. Miss Miller states, Some guys are O. K. but most of them think they are the whole cheese.” In her spare time she chooses jazz. Her favorite game is Winkum . As a hobby she chooses reading. Her cherished possession is her presidency. She has her most exciting moments on the Sunday school parties. She attends the Center Eaton Church. She has just recently passed the age of 15. Oh yes, she loves candy—especially taffy. Boys that use profane language are her pet peeves. | She concluded by saying she liked to swim and practiced swimming in the old mill stream. The Stork Pays a Visit The friendly stork left a beautiful rubber baby doll at the door of the home economics room last week. The seventh and eighth grade girls have adopted the little infant and christened it Baby Sue. This perfect child never cries unless tipped upside down; she closes her eyes and goes to sleep immediately when put to bed. Her eyes are blue and she has a lovely school girl complexion; her skin being soft and rubbery. The seventh grade girls of the child care unit are very busy making a bassonite out of an orange crate. The eighth grade girls have turned seam- stresses and are making a layette. The girls have been studying how to give Baby Sue a bath. As all babies are very precious and hard to handle, the class has been learning the correct way to hold and carry a baby. If you have time, just take a peek at little Sue and see how she’s doing. Maybe she will give you one of her very rare smiles. How many students know that we have a mina-1 ture solarium growing right in our own high school? We assure you that not as many people as should, know that Mrs. Kiplinger has spent the entire year building up her window with various types | of plant life, to add another beauty spot to our school. It is this type of spirit and patience that is , helping to build up our school in beauty, not only physically, but morally. There are many rare species of plants for this climate, that reside in this green and fertile looking place. Have you thought how strange it is that a grapefruit tree is actually growing in Michigan? Well it is. A grapefruit tree is one of the most sensitive trees as to weather conditions. Even a slight frost may permanently hurt the tree, and the fruit it bears. These trees, common in Cali- fornia and Florida, have to be carefully tended. On frosty nights men sit up and keep bonfires burning in many places in the grove, to keep the trees from becoming frost bitten. Other rare plants are the oleander trees, poin- settias. asparagus fern. English ivy. sedum, a calla lily, three sultanas, palm fern, water witch, several geraniums, and some maiden-hair fern. Many of these plants are unknown to most of us, and there are very likely interesting histories be- hind each of them, if we would only take the time and trouble to find out. Why not stop and ask Mrs. Kiplinger about them? She will be only too glad to tell us about them, as she is very proud of her collection.

Band is One of School’s Most Active Organizations Charlotte high school has a growing organiza- tion that is fast becoming well-known throughout the entire state. It's the high school band. It has grown in the past year and a half from au organization of twenty-five, to oue of about sixty- five members. Under the direction of Ward Hynes, the band has purchased beautiful new uniforms, given many concerts, taken part in many assemblies and has made several nice trips. When the band bought the new uniforms, they were all personally fitted at the end of school last year. The first time they were worn was at the annual 4-H fair last fall. After this they wore them at all the home foot- ball games, and the night game at Ionia. Last winter the band went on a campaign tour with the Republican caravan in a chartered bus. They played and marched in all the towns, ending up in East Lansing to help pep up the Charlotte team in a football game with East Lansing high school. The band has attended many festivals, also they attended the Knights Templar Conclave in Lansing and marched with the many competing bands. The band gave a successful Band Bounce last spring. It has paraded for the merchants on mer- chants' day, too. How many know little or any about the various instruments in the band? We are sure that many do not know what really makes the band. First, of course, there is the melody. This is generally taken by the clarinets or trumpets. Next is the harmony played by the baritones, trombones, and saxo- phones. Rhythm is a necessary part of the band, so that is added by the alto horns, drums and basses. Mr. Hynes stated. I believe that the drum section has made the most improvement this year and as we will not loose many of the present mem- bers. we are expecting an excellent drum section next year. The drums can make or break a band, and we certainly aim to Improve.” The band has many plans for the remainder of the school year. Included in these are the Band Bounce, the Olivet and Hastings Spring Festivals and the Tulip Festival in Holland. Several soloists and ensembles are planning to go to Ann Arbor to the State Festival, and the band hopes to go to the Knights Templar Conclave in Lansing again this year. So. with the knowledge of achievement fresh in our minds, let's cheer on the band and give the encouragement and backing that they deserve, as they go further to make Charlotte and the state of Michigan proud of them. Josephine vs. Butch Oh. I say old chap, have you noticed Mr. Van Vessem s collection of gavels? It seems Van started with but one lonely gavel, but he used it so often and so forcefully that it finally became weak and had to be discarded. Sev- eral of the boys in woodshop took it upon them- selves to cheer up the disheartened teacher by presenting him with a new. and much larger gavel. Butch, the new gavel's name, is nearly two feet long and has Mr. Van Vessem. C. H. S.. 1938 engraved on its head. Soon after. Mr. Van Vessem announced a birth in the fourth hour civics class! This new little gavel measuring nearly six inches was christened Josephine. Each gavel has a purpose all its own. When the classes seem to be in a dreadful din. Van brings Butch down in a donated wooden bowl with all his manly strength—the class immediately silences! Little Josephine is used when a few members of the class become unruly and only a small tap is required to regain order. Now Mr. Van Vessem has a collection of some six odd gavels. For further information pay him a visit. Well pip-pip and cheerio! Question of the Month: — Why are our jokes like million dollar salaries? Nobody gets them— Mr. Koch: Show me some of your latest Jokes. Gordon Lamoreaux: Oh, shucks, you will only laugh at them.

This month being February, the birthday anniversary of both these American statesmen, tribute is paid to them. It has been said of Lincoln that the reason he never said anything degratory about any of his political opponents was that when he was a young man running for a small political office, he threw some mud at one of his opponents and nearly lost his own chance of winning the election. After that he made a vow never to say anything against Limelight Leaders This certain senior boy almost refused to talk, but after a bit of high-power salesmanship he finally consented to unfold his past. Jack Garlinghouse has lived in this city ulmosl all of his life. He spent one year in California. Then he returned to Michigan where he has resided since. Jack has the highest rank in Boy Scout work of any one in Charlotte. He has at present his gold palm and is planning to gel his silver palm in the very near future, which is the highest honor that can be obtained in scouting. This past summer he attended the National Boy Scouts’ Jamboree in Washington. D. C. He also served in the Gover- nor’s Honor Guard of Boy Scouts at Mackinac Island. Mr. Garlinghouse is treasurer of the senior class. His cherished possession is his camera. He de- velops and prints his own pictures and has recently purchased an enlarger. He spends most of his spare time in his dark room working on his hobby. Basketball and swimming are the favorite sports of this tall, dark-haired, gray-eyed lad, but he also likes all other sports. When asked what his favorite food was he stated. “Lemon pie, by all means!” Incidentally we have it from good source that he is a hearty eater. Next came the question about his opinion of girls. Our victim blushed at this and only remark- ed. What do you think? He stated he was un- decided as to what school he would attend a� ver graduating from high school, but that he does intend to go further in the realms of education. anyone. Many boys dream of becoming as great a gen- eral as Washington. Every little boy is reminded at one time or another to always tell the truth as Washington did when he confessed to the act of cutting down the cherry tree. If a person had compared the lives of these two men when they were young, to predict which would achieve the highest mark in life, no doubt Washington would have been the choice. Wash- ington’s parents were wealthy and well established in society. He had as good an education as could be had at that time. Lincoln's family was poor, living in a one room log cabin. His education was limited and he earned money as a rail splitter. This comparison does not mean that all poor boys will someday be presidents, nor does it mean that all rich boys will become presidents. These two men should inspire the lives of more people. The patriotism that they showed for their country should act as a guiding light for the American people now. Invitation Accepted Ofl'D' end’ Odds A seventh grade boy upon entering the high school with his arms full of books, suddenly stop- ped and bent over. His small sister removed his cap for him. Motto—politeness pays. Ends Sterling and Rogers sure did their stuff at the Eaton Theatre. Compliments to the seniors. They are really working for their trip. Why not Get the gang together and spend a “quiet” even- ing at the journalism carnival? Remember When they had tandems? When Mr. McCall bravely wore a mustache? What no goatee? We Wonder Who will be this year's queen. It’ll be hard to choose won’t it fellows? Why the upper-classmen insist on robbing the lower-classmen of their girls. The student council took it upon themselves to invite the members of the Capitol Circuit League. February 1. to meet and discuss various phases and problems of student government. Was it or was it not a worthy cause? The majority will say. The Student Council was en- tirely justified in acting as host to the members of the Capitol Circuit League?” Why? Because a group discussion of student government is always a great help to any school in adjusting its own student government. Do you like the system of student government in this school today? All such meetings tend to better student participation in control of the school. After the meeting a banquet was enjoyed by all members present. The members of the Capitol Cir- cuit League then accepted the invitation to be the Council’s guests at the basketball game between Grand Ledge and Charlotte. May we congratulate our Mayor Edward Morey and Secretary Phyllis Archer in their attempt to bring together the members of Capitol Circuit League to discuss this outstanding topic to further the relationship between schools.

If we clip things from other papers, we are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don’t we are stuck on our stuff. If we stick close to the job all day. we ought to be out getting news. If we do get out and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job. If we don’t print contributions, we don't ap- preciate true genius, and if we print them, the paper is filled with junk. fow like as not. some guy will say we swiped this from some other paper! WE DID! J1ads Tjfiat 3?e yn Fads change every year just as styles do. A few years ago everyone was tossing a yo-yo around. Then hi-lis became the rage. You know, the little wooden bats with the rubber ball on a string. Then, too, there was the time when no girl was in fashion who didn't parade Main Street in a pair of beach pajamas. The latest fads are those appearing in head gears for girls, pots, toques, skull-caps, toppers or what ever you choose to call the small affairs that sit perkily on top one's head. These, however, are not so modern as one might at first think. The monks in the fifteenth century wore caps very similar to the toppers worn by girls today. And. too, there is the peasant shawl, which is really no more than a silk handkerchief tied over one’s curls. The peasant shawl is worn by the peasants all over Europe. Also the hoods worn by the feminine sex are merely copies of those worn by the Eskimos in the far North. Here is proof that this generation is far from being original in their ideas.

Charlotte took an early lead in the first quarter of 7-4 but seined to lose ground when Tullis was sent out of the game on four personal fouls. But they held a 11-7 lead at the half- time. Coming back after the half Mason really started going to town and when the third period fireworks were over the score stood. Mason 19. Charlotte 14. The fourth quarter was very slow both teams being on the defensive a large part of the time. The scoring was very low. Mason scoring 3 points and Charlotte scoring only one field goal. The game ended with Mason winning. Rough play accounted for the 21 fouls which both teams accumulated. Tullis. star Charlotte guard, was sent out late in the second period. Mason had 18 foul shots and capitalized on 6 of these, while Charlotte had 8 charity tosses and made 4 of these. Saeleus and DeRose were the big guns of Mason's offense and defense controlling the ball off the backboard most of the time in spite of the brilli- ant playing by “Sonny Chandler, Charlotte’s stellar center. Saelens scored 8 points and DeRose got 6. This victory puts Mason way in the lead and unless an upset occurs they should cop the Capitol Circuit crown. Charlotte has dropped down to third place and will play Eaton Rapids Friday night for second place in the standings. The Charlotte seconds lost a close game to the Mason seconds 20-19. Well- man and Spaniolo were the stars of the second team's offense. Line-Up Charlotte (16) Pos.

Mr. Hanscom presented the story in six scenes, each one giving some vital part of the story. All the parts were taken by Mr. Hanscom. who is an ac- complished ventriloquist. Many au- thentic costumes and properties gave a realistic touch to the story. The plan of admission to this lyceum number was different than in the past. Instead of all students at- tending the assembly only those whose nickel-a-week was paid up were allowed to attend. Tickets were given to those eligible when collections were taken up Thursday.

Many of these would never have had the chance for a higher education if the scholarships were not available. Scholarships are offered by practically every college and university, both large and small. In the February issue of the New Current Digest, an article appeared telling about some of the many scholarships offered. These are offered by many various groups. Alumni associations and the col- leges themselves are the biggest doners of scholar- ships. Scholarships range in value from bare tui- ion for one year to all expenses for a four year course. The requirements for a scholarship also vary considerably. For some competitive examinations are held, for others a certain scholastic average is ell that is required. Many scholarships give special preference to sons and daughters of ministers, world war veterans, and many others. On the whole it is not as difficult to obtain a scholarship as many people think. The enormous number in every line give a chance for many peo- ple to enter college each year. For all those inter- ested in scholarships Mr. McCall has a file of many different offers in his office. Something Neiv and Different The Erickson veterinary hospital located on Lan- sing street across from the cemetery is indeed something new and different in Charlotte. This hospital will not only take care of pets such as cats and dogs but it will take care of horses and cows as well. Perhaps most of us do not realize how much care Dr. A. E. Erickson exercised in laying out the plans for this hospital nor do we realize the benefit of this great undertaking. The one story building is made of cinder blocks and is insolated with rock lath and plaster. It con- tains eleven rooms besides the vestibule. The rooms in order from front to rear are as follows: vestibule, waiting room, private office, examination room, operating room which will be used for all op- erations on all animals, box stall, isolation room which will be entered from the outside only because it will contain contagious diseased or distempered animals, surgicial room where dogs and various an- imals are to be kept after operation, providing they have no contagious diseases, observation room where the patient is kept for the purpose of dis- covering the disease that he has. and last the museum where unusual pictures and specimens will be placed for the public benefit. In addition there will be toilet facilities. Building Is Well Heated A wide hallway runs thru the center of the build- ing. The building contains a U. S. Radiator Cor- poration forced hot water heating plant. Sixteen radiators in the building provide heat to all the various rooms. The building is electrical complete with wall switches, plug receptacles, etc. There are hot and cold water facilities in the examination room, drug room, operating room, toilet and isola- tion room. In a building of this type it is hard to control the unpleasant odors. The rooms have been so ar- ranged that with the aid of ventilation, the odor is hoped to be eliminated. The chimney is large with two flues, one fur- nace flue and one ventilation flue. The ventila- tion from all the rooms empty into this one chim- ney flue. Moving Pictures For Everyone Our school is now possessor of one of the most modern sound moving picture machines in the state. The machine which is complete with a large screen arrived last week. Soon we will be viewing moving pictures on many subjects, both educational and entertaining. There are many companies which make a business of renting films to schools. There are films on every subject under the sun from geography and health to rip-roaring westerns with cowboys and everything. These films are all available at a nom- inal fee. The cost of renting these films will be mostly borne by the Board of Education. Many films will be shown to individual classes as part of their regular class work. This will be of much help in such courses as health, home ec- onomics, agriculture, and science. Charlotte is very fortunate in having this new projector and it should help to make school life more enjoyable and many subjects easier to under- stand. Woodshop Boys and Home EC Girls With girls making book ends and stools in woodshop. and boys cooking muffins and oatmeal in cooking class, it seems as if the two ought to be changed around but they are not. The odd occur- rence took place about two weeks ago. The boys of the first hour woodshop class were making remarks about the cooking of the girls also in the first hour class. The girls in turn dared the boys to change classes with them for three weeks The boys saw both teachers and were granted the privilege to change classes. During the first hour fire drill the other morn- ing the boys were supposed to drop everything and go. •'Rube Snyder was frying an egg and dropped the whole thing into the frying pan shuck and all. The girls have had no freak accidents as yet only that Lois Pryor broke a finger nail and has stopped wearing finger nail polish. Well girls don’t get those rough looking hands when you can use Lifegirl soap and vinegar for only a few cents. The boys won’t have those dish pan hands any longer girls, so here’s your chance. r---------------—------—-------——-------————— ■ Looking Ahead I March 4: Assembly (Woman's club our t guests) March 4 and 5: Basketball tournament • Beat Eaton Rapids?)

Limelight Leaders This little blond, freckled face basketball play- er was born in Lansing. At the age of fifteen he is one and perhaps the most looked at player on the second team. You have probably guessed the charming little lad to be Lee Willis. When consulted about his favorite sport he disclosed it to be basketball, just as you guessed. He states he is just plain nervous when he is sent into a game. Although he measures leas than five feet in height, he is quite some player to guard. Bob Ladd is his hero of the Oriole team. Mr. Willis proudly counted off his fingers, seven games of speedy basketball in which he had played. In the game between Michigan State and Ken- tucky, Lee was one of the most excited spectators. He said, commencing on college basketball, It takes much more skill and is a faster game than ours, ihus I get a bigger thrill out of It. The subject of girls was next approached to which he briefly said. I don’t like them, I just haven't time.” The modest little gentleman also is an excellent dancer and enjoys this as well. His greatest ambition in life is to be a mason “just like my dad. I also expect to get my training from my dad.” Better keep your eye on this lad for he plans to really go places in future years of basketball. We don’t doubt his word in the least.

Your Phantom Reporter Takes A Peek Around School Your phantom reporter has heard so much and seen so little of Helen Montgomery of Charlotte high notoriety that he doesn’t know whether or not he was relieved to find out that the lipstick and catsup corpse of the Hall of Terror at the Journal- ism Carnival was none other than Miss Mont- gomery. Thunderclouds are in the offing for Jack Fink. It seems that Master Fink was too busy to learn his part in a Footlighteer producion whch had the pretty president, Susie Fielder, tearing her (or his) hair. Incidentally, when the play was finally given at a rural school, a skunk had lodged under the school house and perfumed the air throughout the evening! Did you know that Elwin Sterling. Bob Fulton. Dale Rryan. Ed. Morey. Ross Belyea, Dave Elies, and Miss Gillam's “busy boy” K. A. Anderson, heard Benny Goodman and his band in Detroit last week. It is rumored that Sid Nielsen likes snowballs so well that he keeps several dozen on ice for his little friends to play with when they come down. The loud explosion echoing throughout the build- ing Iasi , week were due to the argument on the differences between blondes and brunettes in the journalism class. Mr. McCall was surprised one evening when he entered a local drug store and found half of the high school population, sitting on a register (attir- ed in ski pants). Have you spotted any future football or basket- ball stars in the new seventh graders, bless their hearts. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

Joseph Noggle and Wllford Rohlfs. The two will try to bring the popularness of baseball back to Charlotte high. In previous years the attendence of base- ball games have been very low. With a well balanced team this year the Orioles should do well in playing for the school. Although the attendence of last year’s games was very small, it was decided to try baseball for another year.

Clark Tells Literature Students About Scotland Mrs. Mary Clark addressed Mrs. Ma- rena Kipllnger’s first hour literature class Friday. March 11. Her talk centered around the subject of how Easter is celebrated In Scotland, her native country. On Good Friday at six a. m. a boy delivers hot-cross buns to everyone’s house, since this is a symbol of Easter there. There is no Easter parade but instead a fashion parade is held May 1. On this day one might also take a trip to Loch Lomond. While speaking of this she gave her Impression of the way the favorite Scotch tune is played in swing- time by saying. It certainly ruined the lovely sentiment of that song.” She sang Loch Lomond and Annie Laurie for the group. She had a wee bit o’ heather”, which she passed around. The heath- er came from Oregon, however. She said that the yellow primrose and the blue bells were the first signs of spring In Scotland. She stated that the Scots are a music loving people and nearly everyone be- longs to a choir of some sort. Each year contests are held between choirs and it is a great honor to be in the winning one. My people are a trusty people, said Mrs. Clark. Many jails have never had an Inmate. She thought that per- haps this is because the children are brought up so strictly that they never think of disobeying a rule. r———————— ■ Looking Ahead I March 17: St. Patrick's Day i (Don’t forget your green) I March 18: Albion College Band , (They have something there!)

These con- ferences have been arranged so that youths of to- day might discuss important problems. Charlotte is particularly fortunate to be able to sponsor the youth conference at our high school March 19. With the cooperation of Dad Angell and several high school faculty members of various schools, plans for a large conference have been made. Rev. Glenn Frye of Traverse City and form- erly of Lansing has accepted the invitation to be our guest speaker. Discussions, which will start in the morning and be carried through the after- noon will be under such topics as social hygiene, religion, and boy and girl relationships. In each discussion group, questions will be brought forth by both the speaker and members of the group. In this way everyone can take part in discussion. All students of Charlotte high school are wel- come to attend this conference. Registration for this conference is fifty cents and maybe paid to Harlan McCall before Tuesday. March 15. Baseball The National Game Baseball is again becoming one of the leading high school sports due to the popularity of pro- fessional baseball. Last year's attendance of Char- lotte games was way below normal because of the lack of interest in the sport. Playing baseball is as hard as playing any other sport and it takes just as much brain work, al- though one might not know it. This sport has also achieved the honor of being America's national game. Charlotte has plenty of material this year and should have a very successful season. A large at- tendence is expected for all the home games and also the out of town games. Our Ancestors Looking back over the years we find that our early ancestors were really the first track stars of the human race. For example, where would our lorefathers have been if some of those twenty-foot wart hogs had caught them? Probably most of the humans at that time would have been Food. Our real runners were those who raced for meals with “winner take all . If Uncle Hatchet Face hadn’t had the art of slinging stones or spears, he might not have been eating. Now track is not played with a ball as so many other games are. It is played with your lungs, your feet and some muscles. You don't have to worry about mistakes either. The gang can’t critize be- cause you are not fast because they may be slower than you. You're also doing something they aren’t, giving something to the school. After all, track and life are somewhat alike. If you don’t take things seriously, you’re seriously” taken, and if you don’t put out you are “put out . A widely publicized article defined track like this: Track is a great game; the only reason it isn't popular is that there are always certain people that groan when they behold hard work without its makeup on. You get a chance to rest in any other game; in track you run until you are ready to quit, and then you just begin to run. Where Did These Things Originate- Hitch hikers standing on a corner thumbing their way? The “Susie Q” and the Big Apple”? Girls wearing dinks” or “pots” and those bright colored peasant shawls? Suspenders to suspend men's trousers? Derby hats? “Yo Yo8 ? (Popular last season, remember?) Labor unions? (Ross Belyea might be able to throw a little light on the subject.) Monograms? Loafers in the C. H. S. halls and on street cor- ners ? Idenification bracelets? Recollections Of Bygone Days City Students Did we say that when we grew up we were going to be a policeman, fireman, or some- thing of the sort? Seems as though most of us have changed our minds considerably according to present indications there seems to be a lot of future beauty culturists In ye senior class of '38. We would just nicely get started on a rampage of cops and robbers and Johnny would ride up in the shiny new fire truck that he got for his birth- day (we suddenly change our minds and go shriek- ing down the street to some imaginary fire.) Rural Students We learned the knack of filling a fourteen quart pall almost full of fresh, rich, milk from old bossy. Weren’t we big! Now that dad has taken advantage of our accomplishment and we milk twice daily week after week, month after month, year after year, we have finally come to the decis- ion that the job isn’t such a hot one after all. Ru- mors have it that a person of note will not drink cow’s milk. Bottled milk is preferred. Elders Our parents used to holler about our driving old Nellie like the old Harry so that we broke all speed records! And we criticize the younger gen- eration! General George Twofer Mayhew was dean of the book store. Just about all we could do in class w’as to ob- serve what was doing on the construction project. Chuck Everts, sailor and graduate of ’37 de- scended from a tree (the boys’ locker room has tak- en its place) very gracefully and sprained an ankle while watching M. A. L. practice for her role in Mountain Mumps , the Junior play of ’36. That sinister figure of the screen. Boris Kar- loff. visited C. H. S. as the guest of Miss Patricia Higby. A few of the students were fortunate enough to obtain his John-Henry (autograph to you). Gene King goes to Cleveland for lessons in the art of the dance. Carl Paine’s match col- lection is coming along. Carrying a large box and faint with exhaustion, a sixth grader staggered in- to the halls followed by his little sister. As soon as he had entered the building he stooped with his burdbn while his little sister removed his hat. Limelight Leaders Smoked salmon, by all means. stated Miss Winifred Wells when asked what food she enjoyed most while traveling in foreign countries. This dish, “Simoegasbord”. is prominent in Norway and Sweden. When asked, in a recent interview to de- scribe this dish Miss Wells suddenly seemed to be back in those countries. Her eyes had a very far- away look and her face betrayed, perhaps, some of her loveliest memories. Miss Wells has traveled in twelve countries In- cluding the United States. These countries are: England. Scotland. Ireland, Germany, Holland and Canada. “England Is my favorite country, ex- plained Miss Wells, because of the fact that my forebearers came from there and also because of the language.” When asked what she liked most about traveling, she revealed the fact that she lik- ed to get away from the cities and famous places and visit the country and see how the ordinary peo- ple live. I am more able to enjoy Sir Walter Scott. Wordsworth, and Robert Burns. says Miss Wells, “because I am now able to see the surround- ings in which they wrote and appreciate their feel- ings. The midnight sun in Norway. explained Miss Wells, is one of the most beautiful scenes the for- eign countries have to offer— and just as she was expounding on this subject.

Thanks For The Memories Thanks for the memories Of tests in harvest time When thoughts were of the clime, When chemistry and physics make us study all the time, Oh thank you so much. Many's the time that we've flunked And few is the time that we’ve passed. Oh well, it was heck while it lasted. We didn’t have fun, But oh the harm done! So thanks for the memories Of studying late at night To our teacher’s delight, Of cramming tests, and student pests, and splitting heads and eyes. Oh thank you so much. ()oUs end A riddle: Why should a cosmetician take geography? For the map study. So long: Just in case you haven’t noticed that black haired bouncer of the brown basketball has left the halls of Charlotte high. Vaughn Rogers and all the little Rogers are now residing in the town of Litchfield. Why not: T'was suggested that the break glass with hand on the fire alarm boxes be changed to slap gently. Stuff: Mr. McCall’s mustache is meeting a bit of com- petition under the nostrils of Messrs. Snyder and Bruce. Vern Scott is going out for football. The out of town trend has shifted quit a bit during the year; first Lansing, then Eaton Rapids, now oilvet. Wonder if Dan Cupid could be the cause of Rosey Fielder’s happy smile, and Babs Hamilton's class pin. Ted Packard is planning a bit of a jaunt in- to the west during the summer. What’s happened to all the foos” and goos that used to appear on the bulletin boards. The halls look rather vacant when they’re showing a noon movie. Boner: When Marilyn Canfield tried to make ice on the milk testing machine. Help: What’s happened to that old. old game we used to play that required all the ingenuity one had? You know—old cat. If people don't perk up a bit It will become a lost art. So help me!!

Charles Widrig, Wayne Wagner. Bud” Hammond, Vern Reynolds. Bob Spice. Duane Robu, and Nelson Clark were given hon- orary mention. This year there was a slight increase in the number of boys who turned out for intramural basketball over that of last year, but the number is still con- sidered very low. This year enough boys turned out so that two teams could be made from each class. Out of eight teams, those that worked up to first, second, third and fourth posi- tions In the order of their standings are: TEAM 'VOX LOST PCT. L. Teigler (Jr.)....... 9 1 .900 D. Lea (Jr.) .......... 8 3 .727 G. Fullerton (Sr.) .... 7 4 .636 R. Weaver (Sr.) ....... 5 5 .500 The other teams are as follows: Moe Braden’s (Soph.), Neil Clever's (Soph.). Carroll Stringham's (Frosh.), and Bud Beechler’s (Frosh.). Twenty-five Are Out For Start of Baseball Season Approximately twenty-five boys are working out in the old gym in prepar- ation for baseball season. Among the veterans who will be re- turning for the coming season are: Carl Gordon. Bob Ladd, Bob Baker. Dale Shumaker. Franklin Loucks. Vern Reynolds. Jack Mate, Julius Fisher, and Jimmy Spaniolo. Most of these fellows now working in the gym are specializing on pitching and catching. As soon as possible the rest of the candidates will start practicing out of doors. Orio c leathers Vern Reynolds and Franklin Loucks. two of last year’s regular pitchers, will probably be the starting pitchers of this year’s team. Bob Ladd, Jack Mate. Neil Clever. Bob Spice. Dale Shu- maker and. Jimmy Spaniolo are also on the pitching list. A good supply of catchers seem to be abundant with Carl Gordon. Moe Braden, and Bob Ladd out for that po- sition. Joseph Noggle and Wilford Rohlfs are the baseball coaches. -C-H-S- It seems that Hastings is always giv- ing Charlotte some bad luck in more ways than one. The last happening was the defeating of the locals for the district cup on March 5. Charlotte had trounced Eaton Rapids the night be- fore. -C-H-S- Charlotte's attendance for the bas- ketball games during this past season has been higher than any in the high school’s history. The people are par- ticipating in the new gym more than ever. Brown and Krieg Speak To Seniors, Ec.

The result of the little chat was that Jay is being suspended from C. H.

Everything has been progressing smoothly in the Junior high under the Principal Shirley Clay. T.he only severe disciplining of the month was the disobedience of Bill Austin, who was caught skipping school in order to see a certain unknown brunette who lives in the vicinity of East Lan- sing. Also a little trouble was had with I eora Weymouth, who was sent home from school last week for not knowing her geography lesson. Shame on Leora! APRIL FOOL! It seems that Harlan McCall will never learn his lesson. He has been caught six times so far this semester wandering around the halls when he should be in his classes. (Almost as bad as those three junior girls?) An- other of Harlan’s more minor offenses is that of always making the journal- ism room look as if an up and coming tornado had just passed merrily on its way. Tut! Tut!

ORANGE BLACK Page 2 - Peace! Peace! But still there is no Easter Peace. A. D. 1938! The world we know awakens on a bright, cheer- ful Easter morning with a feeling of reverence that perhaps it feels at no other time of the year as much as it does this morning. A quiet peace- ful countryside lies stretched out before it. The pealing of bells promotes an urge to at- tend a church service where peace and quietness reign supreme and where cares and toils of the out- side world are temporarily forgotten, moves every human soul so deeply that it cannot be resisted. So our world dons its new spring suit, tucks the family Bible under its arm and goes to pay hon- or to Him Who died for it! Upon ascending the church steps the deep, melodic tones of the organ reach its ears and lend their bit towards the sacred atmosphere. The minister gives a touching sermon The choir's music is like that of an angel chorus. The congregation Joins in singing truly heavenly music. Alas the world is at peace with itself! But all this serenity has made the world we know forget the Far East and the world the Span- iards know on Easter morn. There exists only strife of warfare and souls aching for their loved ones and the homes they once knew. The boom of guns and crash of bombs puts fear foremost in that world’s mind. Towns which once were as reverent as our world on Easter morning lie in total de- struction. No peace for them! Peace! Peace! But still there is no Easter Peace, A. D. 193S! April Foo Day April Foo Day comes but once a year (thank heavens!), generally around the first of April. The origin of April Foo Day goes back to the dim dark ages when all the Foos. both large and small would get together in the early spring to cel- ebrate the ending of winter. Winter was always dreaded by the Foos because they were accustomed to tearing around with no clothes on in the summer time and they didn’t have brains enough to put more on when winter came. The Foos were a very primitive people with a one-cylinder brain which accounts for their ignorance. So they would shiver through each winter and when spring came they had their celebration. These events featured such simple amusements as bull-throwing, tiger baiting, alligator wrestling and stud poker. (Maybe they weren’t so primitive, at that). Everyone was very happy and hailed spring joyously. Oh joy! And that is how April Foo Day originated. Now, don’t you feel more educated? Behind It All The conductor raises his baton. Back stage all is dark: every member of the cast stands tense with excitement waiting for the curtain. Off stage stands the stage manager glued to the control panel waiting orders: suddenly a wave of an arm. the stage lights go up. the house lights drop, the cur- tain opens, and the chorus bursts forth—presenting the “Belle of Bagdad”. All during the show the audience was entranced by the careless abandon of the actors, the Jollity of the choruses, and the smooth unfolding of the plot. Yet before and during the performance the audience was not aware of the tense nervousness and action behind the scenes. Before the fatal hour everything was in a hub- bub. The make-up department battled against time with their powder and paste to make up the eighty members of the cast before curtain time. The stage managers rushed from place to place check- ing every property they hoped they had. In the dressing rooms actors argued over what they were to wear. In an out-of-way corner of the stage those with speaking parts checked and re-checked their lines. Others scattered here and there were either wishing each other the best of luck or trying to act as calm as possible even though their hearts were in their mouths. Just before the curtain they all gathered about the directors: “Remember, no matter what happens the show must go on”! During the performance the air was even more electrified by the silence. One would have found the stage manager tip-toeing from side to side checking the cast: You go on after the next song”. “Where in the dickens is the Caliph? Quiet! They can hear you . The members of the cast were checking their beards, their lines, their properties, their friends, anything and everything which they thought needed checking. The prompters stood hunched over their books ever ready to aid. The bomb scene was perhaps the most dramatic of all moments back stage. The stage manager lighted the bomb, handed it to the killer, raced behind the scenes caught the bomb as it was thrown from the set. dashed over and fired a pistol into a barrel—all this, timed to a second, to save the Caliph. Finally after everyone had been saved and ma- ted and the chorus had sung its jubilant song, the curtain fell. The Belle of Bagdad” was a success. Then came the congratulations, the cold cream, and now the memories. Easter Bunny Pays A Visit Creeping in at night, he settles to his work and lays eggs in the most unexpected places. Who? Yes. it's the bunny rabbit who leaves pretty color- ed eggs for the good little children on Easter morn- ing. What fun it is to get up bright and early to hunt for the gayly decorated eggs hidden in the un- usual places. But the bunny leaves the eggs for only the good little children so don’t forget to be nice to little brother and sister, mother and daddy, and for goodness sakes don't kick the person sitting next to you in school. If Mr. VanVessem. Mr. McCall. Miss Wells or Mrs. Kiplinger catch you chewing gum, the bunny surely will not bring you any eggs, so here is a warning to all “For the next few weeks be good!” So Is Spring Fever!! Do you have that yawning sensation? Are you easily tired from study and work? Is your body numb from the want of slumber? Does your mind cease to function at right augles and move in cir- cular fashion? If.so it will be to your advantage to see Mr. McCall or Mr. Dykhouse at once. Why? Be- cause you are a victim of that humbug. Spring Fever”.

Among the killed and half killed were Robert Parkhurst and Donn Dol- son who were the perpetrators of the dastardly deed. It seems Bob and Donn decided to cook up an experi- ment of their own. not found in the book, with the hopes that maybe they could at least get a good hatch of fudge out of It. Somewhere their plans went astray, for while Donn was heating the mixture with three blow torches and a match Bob dumped in a bottle of nitric acid which he mis- took for vanilla, with the result that the lab did three somersaults in the air and landed upside down. This is going to cause no end of trouble for the chemistry students as every time they turn on the water they are given a free shower bath. This is especially hard on those who took a bath only three weeks ago and hadn’t counted on another for several weeks yet. However there is one ray of hope, as all the chemistry students were turn- ed inside out and otherwise put out of running condition. There will be no chemistry class so no one will have to be doused. Your Orange and Black reporter, who is always on the spot caught these comments from various victims as they started coming down: “Ugh , “Oof”, “Umph”. Wow”, and Gurp . These illuminating bits of informa- tion serve to clear up the situation considerably. Xo sign was seen of either Mr. Park- hurst or Mr. Dolson; it is presumed they are engaged in flirting with the angels. Blam!

After accomplish- ing this task Mary Maxine states that her only aim in school now is that she may edit one of the best Charhians yet. This sixteen year old Miss has been very active during her high school life.

Mary Maxine has been honored this year by being elect- ed editor of the Charhian while last year she was managing editor and publisher of the Orange and Black for six editions. Miss Richey is a mem- ber of the Quill and Scroll and has at- tended the Honor banquet four years. Last year she had a prominent part in the Junior play. Mary Maxine states that one of her reasons for going to Michigan State next year is the fact that it is a small college. Another reason she will go to State is the fact that she has six cousins and an uncle that at- tended this college and that is enough reason for her to go there. Mary Maxine will take a Liberal Arts couree at college and hopes to fit her- self for a responsible position after graduating. Adelaide, salutatoriam has also been very active during her high school years. She is a member of the Girl Reserves and commercial club, of which she is secretary, while last year she was a prominent member of the French and travel clubs both of which she was secretary.

Both bands have been working for sometime. “We believe we have a program that is very interesting and entertain- ing”. states director Ward Hynes. Solos, duets and novelty numbers will add to the evening’s entertainment. One of the highlights will be when H. A.

Other interesting features of the pro- gram will be a wedding, performed by band members, and also a mus- icians strike. In the musicians strike the band will attempt to illustrate just what would happen if everyone refused to play. The result promises to be interesting. Although there is no door charge a free-will offering will be taken to de- fray expenses and to help finance the band when they make their trip to the Holland Tulip Festival, May 21. Much time has been spent in pre- paring this affair and it undoubtedly will be an educational as well as en- tertaining and interesting program.

Rest of Journalism Class Selecting the Candidate Each year about this time, the Election of the high school mayor and secretary takes place. The first step, and a very important one. is selecting the candidates. They should possess the qualities of being a good leader, an earnest student, and an honest person with the interest of the rest of the school at heart. Anyone may run for either office, if he can secure one hundred signers on his petition. The petitions must be presented to Principal Harlan McCall by Thursday. May 5. In the event of more than three secretarial candidates or two for mayor, a primary election will be held May 6. No one is obligated to sign a petition. In fact the most careful consideration should be given to each candidate’s qualities before signing a petition for him. A gala part of the election is displayed in the signs around the building. However, signs may not be posted until May 6. and they must all be taken down by May 13. No candidate may spend more than one dollar for advertising and he may have only one electric sign. Any student who desires may voice his opinions on candidates in the caucus to be held at an assembly May 12. The two who are elected will head the student council for next year. Safety Drive Is On May Day Since the time of the ancient Romans May 1 has been celebrated as May Day. The Roman people used to go in procession on this day to the grotto of Egeria. They celebrated in honor of their goddess Flora, deity of all flowers. These people regarded May as an unlucky month in which to be married. In Medieval and Tudor. England. May Day was a great public holiday. All classes of people were up with the dawn and went a-muying”. Branches of trees and flowers were borne back in triumph to the towns and villages. The center of the pro- cession was occupied by the maypole, glorious with ribbons and wreaths. The pole was usually made out of birch wood and set up for the day only. In England lads and lasses gathered the Haw- thorne blossoms or May” along the country lanes. With it they crowned the fairest maiden of them all and proclaimed her Queen of the May . “Old times have changed, old manners gone . In France they still crown the May queen but their cer- monies lack the enthusiasm and gayety of the ancient Roman and Tudor days. The latter part of the nineteenth century, labor organizations adopted the first of May as a na- tional Labor Day. As a survival of an ancient time, little children still gather May flowers and to a certain extent celebrate this early custom by making paper bas- kets and filling them with flowers, then hanging them on people's door knobs on the eve of May Day. r—----------------------------------------- Looking Ahead April 29—Howell, there (Support the team!

Figures show that something must be done at once but where to start is the question. In Lansing and Detroit Junior high schools, special safety classes are being featured. The students are shown the safety fundamentals on the street by puppet shows. The responsibility of driving is taught through special training in the fundamentals of actual automobile operation. It is hoped that through this method the students will understand the proper and intelligent use of automotive controls when they become old enough to learn actual driving. Perhaps a safety drive similar to this one could be sponsored in our own town to lesson auto accidents. It is a fact that a foot on the brake is worth two in the grave.

Nevertheless, this motto finds ita way into countless minds in our own community and little do these individuals do to drive it from them. Someone said that the Wright brothers couldn’t make a success of their flying machine but they did. Someone said that Lindbergh could never span the ocean, but he did. What came of these achievements? Nothing except that the field of aviation was brought before the public eye and is now one of America's successful fields of industry. Perhaps no one said that our school paper couldn’t win a high honor award this year. Why? Because very few knew that there was any such achievement for the Journalism class to work for. However, the Orange and Black has come through again with flying colors and won the First Class Honor Rating given by the National Scholastic Press Association. Yes! It is indeed—hats off to the Journalism class and adviser, H. R. McCall. You too can be a success if your motto will al- ways be. It Can Be Done. But, if you lower your- self to, It Can't Be Done”, don't grieve at your own failure because— Some folks say it can’t be done, And repeat It 'til they die; Don't believe it can't be done.

With this helpful hint to break the ice we were soon merrily talking about Sidney Gordon Nielsen’s favorites. Sid likes to listen to his radio often and his favorite orchestra is that of Henry Bussi, his favorite song is Stardust . He could live for weeks at a time on Wheaties and peanut butter sandwiches. Whether this tall blond is trying to get in good with Mr. McCall and Miss Colborn we don’t know, but join- alism and typing., seem to be his favorite subjects. Apparently our witty 17-year-old hero is nobody's fool for he is in the upper fourth of his class, a member of the Student Council. Charhian Staff. Quill and Scroll, Hi-Y. and Footlighteers Club. He also plans on attending Michigan State next year. When Sidney grows up he intends to do a lot of traveling. He has already made some venture in the field. Last summer he took a trip, along with four other rascals, into Northern Michigan and Canada while he went to the other extreme this winter by seeing Florida from a trailer. Whether Sid’s traveling ideas are a carry-over from his three paper routes we don’t know but we do know that Sid is almost proud of the fact that he peddles 180 papers every day except Sunday when he only delivers 125 before going to church. So you see why peddling papers is one of his hobby� . He also collects stamps (he's got quite a collection) and gathers pennants and stuff (gorp to you) for his room.

Jimmy Spaniola. the “smoocher” is really playing a bang up game at the hot corner” (third base) this year and has been hitting well in practice. Jimmy is only a sophomore and has a very fine way of playing third. He will probably be hitting lead off man in the games this year. Bob Ruthburn. a new’ comer to Char- lotte high school ranks, has been showing up w'ell in practice and is headed for a first string job in the outfield. Bob came to Charlotte last fall and this is his first year out for any sport. A rivalry between the baseball and track teams has sprung up this year as usual. The track boys are always (hrough practice before the baseball team, therefore have been getting all the hot water. Each group now tries to finish practicing before the other. Russell Bradley, a freshman miler who placed second to Dorr Love in the interclass track meet, has been given quite considerable attention after his fine showing. He is a great prospect for this season. Good luck, Russ!

Journalists Receive Sophomores Sponsored Quill and Scroll Honors Student Mixer Last Week Richard Manicom and Adelaide Du- Hois were mentioned in the May-April issue of the Quill and Scroll magazine as having placed in the third national group contest from the East Central division. Two parts of the contest gave the journalism class a choice as to which divisiou to enter: the editorial writ- ing part or the proof reading part. Each member of the class either wrote an editorial or gave illustra- tions of copy and proof readers’ marks. Out of all the entries the best was selected and sent into the national contest editor. Harlan McCall journalism adviser, selected the proofreading entrance with the fewest mistakes, it was Rich- ard Manicom’s. He had but one mistake according to the style that the contest was being judged upon. The mark would have been understandable by the printer but it was not the conven- tional one. Several topics for the editorials were listed and the winuing editorial was headed Peace. Peace. But There Is No Easter Peace A. D.. 1938”. The story was written by Miss DuRois and was published in the Orange and Black. April 1. The foregoing topic and one entitled “What’s Inside The Head The Kerchief Covers”, were the most popular subjects entered from all the states. Richard took second place and Ade- laide received honorable mention in the last issue of the journalism maga- zine.

Rest of Journalism Class $250.00 In The Hole Failure of students to meet the pledges made at the beginning of the year in regard to the nickel-a-week is very evident in that there is a shortage of over $250.00 in the school fund at the present time.” states Principal Harlan McCall. When we consider that all expenses are bud- geted at the beginning of the year and based on the amount pledged by the students it is apparent that many school activities are suffering from lack of funds. Stop and think just what we are getting out of our nickel. There are fourteen Orange Blacks, lyceum assembly numbers, admission to all sports, funds for the student council to stage the Honor Banquet and a reduction on the price of the Char- hian. If there is not enough money collected this year to meet expenses a new and more rigid meth- od of paying for these things will be put into effect next year. As the system is now it is very easy to keep up and be eligible for all activities. It certainly is easier to dig up a nickel each week rather than to get a dollar for each semester or two dollars for the whole year all at once. There are still many things coming for those who keep up on their nickel-a-week. The Honor Banquet is free to all those whose accounts are paid up while those who nre not paid up will have to pay for their meal. All those purchasing Char- hians will have to pay a percentage of the amount owed on their nickel-a-week before they can receive their books. So it really does pay to keep up that nickel each week. Attend Spring Sports In the fall when school starts, many of the boys can hardly wait to get on the football field. There comes a period of getting ready for the contests between other schools and C. H. S. Football comes and then goes, basketball follows and when spring rolls around the fellows are still eager for the next sports—baseball and track. Baseball takes a lot of practice and the boys are giving it all they have. The game was started in hopes that it would revive the students’ Interest. We have many future stars on the varsity team. High jumping, relays, pole vaulting, and the dashes are only a very small part of the track meet. The fellows go to the field night after night and practice for the winning of the track meets. They are giving their extra time to bring glory to their alma mater. Last Wednesday at the triangular meet be- tween Charlotte. Ionia, and Belding. Gail Cheney unofficially broke the state record for the 100-yard dash by .5 seconds. They need stronger support from the student body: the only way for them to get it is to have the students attend these meets. We can excuse those who have to work after school, but we can- not excuse those who do not make a special effort to attend spring sports. So try to help our teams out and encourage our future track and baseball stars. Are Good Marks Worth the Effort ? When the present seniors entered high school as freshmen four years ago they were too scared to really strive hard for all A’s or B's. In these first few weeks or months of readjusting them- selves to the hustle and bustle of high school life, not many looked forward to the time when their marks and deeds would be held for or against them. For many a whole year passed before they began to think of the University of Michigan hon- or plaque or the valedictorianship and salutatorian- ship. Later, in their sophomore or junior year when the class of '38 had attained a worldly-wise, soph- isticated air. anything as goody-goody as graduat- ing honors was usually scorned. It is a little late in the game for the seniors to do anything about their standings but all those who will be back next year can do their best to improve their marks. Then when their time comes to wear the cap and gown they can look back over their achievements with justifiable pride. And good marks count in other ways too. All those in the upper third or fourth of their class are favored in the awarding of scholarships. Many colleges require that a student be in the upper third of his class. It is not possible for every one to be in the upper third, but if they do their best they will not be disappointed. Girls! The best way to keep your youth is not to introduce him to your girl friends. Rub-a-dub-dub Two men in a tub Darn these small hotels anyway! —Exchange Looking Ahead May 13—Election! (Who’ll it be?)

Limelight Leaders Track, most assuredly” states Gail Cheney when questioned as to his favorite sport. As Gail said this his eyes seemed to glow with the very thought of it and his face took on a happy smile. This eighteen year old senior has been very active in athletics during his high school career. Upon the subject of girls, this lad says that ho likes the ones that make friends easily and his p«t peeve is girls who harbor grudges and are jealous Gail admitted that he has two ambitions. First, to win first place in the low hurdles in the state track meet at East Lansing and second to be a good engineer. He definitely stated that he did not intend to follow in his father’s footsteps. As to food. Gail says that apple pie a la mode rates tops. Golf is his favorite hobby although he doesn't have much time for it. As assistant editor of the Charhlan. president of the Hi-Y, member of the Quill and Scroll and Orange Black staff, Gall has a very busy schedule. Mechanical drawing and trigonometry are his favorite subjects. He hopes to attend Michigan State college next year. 4VD' end Tips while voting: Vote for the man everyone else is going to vote for and be in stylo—it makes the votes easier to count also.

The Orioles collected six first places and a large number of seconds, thirds and fourths, to wind up with a total of 61 points. Belding scored 49 points and Ionia trailed with 21. The state low hurdle record for class B schools was unofficially broken by Cheney, who covered the distance in 23 seconds flat. The state record is 23.5 seconds.

Gail Cheney, bettered the state record for running the low hurdles by one-half second at the triangular track meet here last Wed- nesday. In doing this Gail has set a new school record. The Charlotte squad won the track meet on team balance. Even though i hey tied with Belding for first places n-6. the locals picked up many seconds, thirds, and fourths. This permitted Charlotte to win by a margin of 12 points, with Belding in second place and Ionia third. It is hereby proven that those boys who run second, third, and fourth are just as important as those who run first. Reports It is reported that several new’ men out for track are turning in credible work. For instance—Junior Grier and Clare Tharp are developing Into good one-half milers. Lester Roberts has developed into the best pole vaulter of this season. Jim Tracy is proving himself not only a shot putter but a high jumper as well. He has cleared five feet six inches twice so far tills year. Murray Chandler Is showing him- self to be an all around athlete and is running second fastest in the one- hundred yard dash. Russell Bradley is picking up the mile and Reefman is making good time in the four-forty. Golf Bob I add is really swinging the golf club this year. Out of three games played this season Bob has shot two forties. Charlotte won in the Howell match by the closest mar- gin possible. 6 4-5%. The locals lost to Hastings May 3. but could have won the match by tak- ing two additional holes. Such is the golfer's life! ! ! !

Streamlining has been adopted by almost every other j type of thing, and now the news- papers follow. The object of rocket streamlining Is to make reading the paper easier for those who read it. The head- line and lead, or first paragraph, are now combined into a smoother-reading. time-saving unit. The repetition formerly confronted with when reading the old type is hereby lessened. M. S.

In our school of today there are two kinds of students—those who cram and believe and those who study but challenge. The present day world as well as the world of the ’morrow is a changing world, a world in which what is true today may be proven false tomorrow. In the field of science laws of yester-year are in the present proven false; those of today will in the future be re-written. Perhaps the changing rules and styles in writing from year to year best exemplify this point. So. doomed to a world of disillusionment, doomed to meet a changing world with a set mind is the student who learns to accept to believe while in school. Every student who enters high school should accept with a challenge facts that he is taught, should accept, but with a mind open to change all information offered him. Do you recall when.... Oriole Feathers made its first appearance on the sports page? Frankie Prindle's seven-piece band played at most of the student mixers? Pictures one inch by three-quarters inch in size were a fad? Dick Taylor. ’37. had a large collection of bugs and insects? Fireworks were a dangerous means of celebrat- ing Independence day (July 4th)? Winter Wolchell had a column on the feature page of ye Orange Black? Jimmie Mattern and Wiley Post made their record-breaking round-the-world flight? The sky ride” was one of the highlights of the Century of Progress”? Emerson Hildehrant was conductor? Gene King used to have her first name spelled J-E-A-N? We had the “honor” of getting up in front of the class for the first time? Our pictures were taken in front of the post office? Ross Belyea sported around in his dad’s Reo? More unforgotten songs: “Puddin’ Head Jones . “Mary Lou”, In My Merry Oldsmobile”, “Goody-Goody”. “Im a Ding-Dong Daddy from Dumas”, All American Girl.” “Betty Co-ed,” “Hands Across the Table . We Just Couldn’t Say Goodbye”, “Show Me the Way to Go Home”. SENIORS LAMENT I think that I shall never see A grade more lovely than a B. FAREWELL.... Limelight leaders.... After disturbing this well known senior in the middle of an agriculture class, we managed to peer into the deep dark secrets of Frank Kline’s past, present, and future. Frank has taken a four year agriculture course at C. H. S. and isn’t too anxious to graduate. How- ever. after he receives his diploma he will become an Eaton county farmer, which has been his ambi- tion since childhood. Frank won an honor very few have ever won in Charlotte schools. Being a member of F. F. A., which, by the way. he is president of. he qualified and received a Stale Farm- ers Degree from Michigan State college for being able to earn over two hundred dollars on a farm project. His project was sheep. When asked of some of his likes and dislikes several surprising answers were acquired. We found out that this little dignified upper-classman is another who hates spinach but loves ice cream and chicken. His favorite subject is woodshop and he dislikes very decidedly the studying of literature. When asked about this well known opposite sex we discovered that Frank thinks They're alright but holds a marked disapproval of those girls who drink and smoke. His hobbies are like most out-of- door boys and are namely, hunting, fishing and driving. Upon telling us that he likes to travel and hopes to do a lot of it in later years Frank returned to his studying leaving us with these unusual and interesting facts of another Future Farmer.
