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.

October 1, the Mason Maroons handed the Charlotte Ori- oles their second defeat of the season by beating them on the home field to the tune of 12 to 7. The Orioles took the lead in the first half when Cheney scored on a short end run. Mason came back in the second half with renewed vigor and scored two touchdowns. A buck through the line from the one foot line scored the first touch- down: but the try for the extra point was blocked by the Oriole men. The second touchdowm was scored on a pass, and the try for the point after the touchdowm was no good. Orioles To Play Next Two Games at Hastings, Howell Friday afternoon, the Charlotte team will travel to Hastings to avenge a defeat given to them by the Has- tings team last year. The Hastings squad has been de- feated three times this year, but are about as strong as the Orioles. A close game is expected and the C. H. S. eleven hopes to come home with the long end of the score. A week from Friday, the team will journey to Howell for another con- ference game. I.ast year the Orange and Black took Howell to the cleaners, 48-6. However, the Highlanders have a veteran squad back this year and a battle royal can be expected.

From the 18th to the 22nd of October the Practical Drawing Company from Dallas. Texas, is giving an exhibit of famous paintings of the Art World. 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. While pic- ture study should be carried on throughout the school year, special emphasis is being placed on it during the preparation for this exhibit. Some of the greatest source of knowledge of the past is pre- served in the world’s art treasures. The sixteenth National Picture week is October 10-16. The National Art week is from November 7-13 in which the nation will commemorate art and artists. Miss Nelthorpe and Mr. Noggle are sponsoring this exhibit. Mr. Noggle stated that more people should try to appreciate art. instead of just letting it pass for the artistic. Some of the pictures that will be on exhibit are: Water Carrier, by Goya; Boy With Torn Hat, by Sully; Chief’s Blanket, by Couse; Age of Inno- cence. by Reynolds; and Feeding Her Birds, by Millet. The works of American artists as well as foreign artists will be presented. Hello Day» To create a more friendly feeling and better acquaintance among the students of Charlotte high school, the Girl Reserves are sponsoring a Hello 1 Day.’’ to be held October 19. 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. Looking Ahead October 14-15—Michigan Educational Associa- tion (Vacation—hurrah!) October 15— Hastings, there. (Support your team! !) October 18—Club night, group 11. (Don’t be late!)

(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. A warning: If vou want to keep out of trouble never say I do. ' A problem: Trying to drink water from a fountain without getting your nose or chin wet. Odds: Lucien LeLong, French designer, states: A woman Is well dressed when you cannot remember anything she was wearing, even to the color of her dress and style of her hat. How, oh how. are you going to be able to locate the-one-you-want-to meet? Worse than bad moments: You pull out to pass the fellow ahead and he sticks his hand out the window. You slam on your brakes only to note that he Is just shaking the ashes off his ceegar.” Ah. Me! And stuff: We may note that the exotic Miss Canfield has a gentleman friend in the neighboring city of Eaton Rapids. Exactly how much and what did Clare Weaver lose by attending “Ye Olde Mixer?” It’s fun to watch pupils trying to duck the teachers’ plying glances when they don’t know Just what is what. If you really want to enjoy yourself watch Byron Stockwell trying to hold and play the bass drum at the same time. Woe is me! Mr. McCall, instructor in the newspaper arts, lias six brothers, all of whom are news men. They used to call her honey-bunch, but now it seems to be nymph. Ho, j well. A rarity: I A man who knows himself. Things That Are Hard To Do Choose a book with no pictures. Chew gum in Mrs. Kiplinger's class. Trying to act alive the morning after. Learning a Shakespearian role while changing classes. Trying to act sophisticated in the presence of a freshman. Keeping calm in the principal’s ofTice. Acting interested during a lecture about a High Tariff on Putty. Thinking up original “stuff for a column. Events in the Very Near Future ‘Have you got any pumpkins that you want me to cut today baby Well, my finely feathered friends, it is almost time for Ye Olde Witches.” because as you remember, it is approaching the hour of Hallowe'en. So drag forth your moth riddled costume, much yellowed mask, and the old girl friend and let’s go to town. WARNING! For you who wish to get the best, we shall recommend that you shop earlv; for Christmas is only 74 days away. Seniors, who simply detest last minute disap- pointments. please for the sake of peace get your dates dated for the coming Prom now. Date; some- time in June. We would recommend that the pupils of this school start catching up on their sleep so that they may be able to stay up New Year’s eve. Start saving up your odd pennies so that you too. may be able to enjoy the coming Journalism carnival.

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.
