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.

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. Coach Malcolm Gobel and Harlan McCall attended the Alma-Albion game last Saturday. Alma won 7-6. Don Smith was one of the Alma play ers. ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS For your coats, dresses and hats.

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!) October 29—Vocational, here. (“Fight, team, fight!”) October 30—Halloween party. (Boy. do we look cute!) November 5—St. Johns, here. (Lets take ’em gang!) November 5—Student Mixer. ( Veni, veni venl veni veni veni veni veni tu su bella— ) November 11—Eaton Rapids, there. (Who gets the little brown Jug?”) Hither and Thither Some Monday morning take a stroll into VanVes- sem’s hangout during home room period and enjoy listening to the mighty seniors discuss experiences, likes and dislikes. They are very intimate in their discussions-----(Ask Lois McIntyre who keeps the ball rolling). . , . Pipes seem to be quite a fad among the lads. Watch thy step me hearties and duck them when ye see one of thy elders approach thee. Have you noticed the devoted couples of our alma mater? Maybe there’s something to this love bug” after all. There seems to be a few diamonds perched on dainty fingers and at least two frater- nity pins! Just whv does night life in Charlotte seem to have no pep'to it? Come on youse guys and youse gals and enliven this here burg of ours for a change. Fat Shaffer has accepted a Job writing up Charlotte's sports battles for the State Journal. Aren’t we jealous? (No!) Why. oh. why do so many seniors leave their lockers open? Are they too lazy or are they in too big a hurry? Remember, children. Haste makes What do you think of having a male - -and of course - - -a female beauty contest? (Do you think that Clare Weaver would be Mr. America of 1938!) Did vou ever stop to think about our principal’s initials? They are H. R. M. Ted Packard thinks they stand for His Royal Majesty! What makes these young fellows slow dow-n on their driving lately? Maybe dad Is clamping down on them. Or won’t the car go that fast anymore? What Did You Say When? —Jacob Van Vessem demonstrated how to do the Shag ? —Margaret Bauer almost swallowed a snake, thanks to Dick Manlcom? —Clare Weaver got to class on time? —The mighty seniors broke the camera at Niel- sen’s studio? —The teachers tried to learn to square dance? —Sid Nielsen had nothing to say? Mr. McCall was easy to locate? —Miss Nelthorpe chased the Girl Reserves out of the gym? —Mary Maxine Richey rode In the rumble seat? —Jo Jane Murray broke the one and only bottle of mustard? —Ross Belyea stated that his grandfather was his descendent? After waiting, as most people have to do for a young lady, a beaming five foot, one-half inch tall senior came precipitately down the steps to keep her appointment. With blue-gray eyes, a mouth full of gold teeth, and seventeen years of experience, (she's proud of them) hanging over her brown hair, this gal is none other than genial Gene King. Gene possesses many likes but few dislikes. She admires one who can take it. and likes windy days, a witty conversationalist, a good argument, and oh. so many other things; while she detests cocoanut, oy- sters. and her sister’s clarinet. Her favorite food is a thick Juicy steak smothered in fried onions. - - - - mnmnmn. Our popular female has swimming, ballroom dancing (tap dancing is her business), and her baton, of which she is justly proud, as her hob- bles. and wishes C. H. S. had a girl’s football team so she could play. There’s an idea for you. coach. As president of the Girl Reserves and program chairman of the Charhian staff. Miss King has charge of the journalism carnival and assembly. When asked about her future, this little maid answered. I am going to take a course in nursing at the St. Lawrence hospital in Lansing, so I can be- come a brain specialist or assistant to one - - - If I don’t get married first”. Someone had better grab her quick before she learns to read a person’s mind. Oh. say! her most cherished possessions are her feet and her baton. Boy. can she twirl them! 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. A problem: Just how is one going to prove that Y” equals x plus n” divided by b while some one is whopping it up on the radio, or while your bro- ther is trying to hit high b” flat on his trumpet. I’m asking you! Odds: Miss King, the drum majoress. states: It’s bad enough to be called squirt but heavens help me when they lower me to a mere drizzle . And stuff: Wonder why Gall Cheney wanted something in the paper about Hilda Kelley? Miss DuBols: How much does a 15c ticket cost?” It’s fun to watch people try to cover up the fact that they have a brand new hair cut. Did you ever notice that Blondy Mate has blonde eyebrows and brunette eye-lashes. Words we love to spell: Mississippi. Constantinople. Through the courtesy of Carl Paine, a word we’d like to spell; anti-terminalog- i( alinactitudinarian. Who. Oh, who was Mary Nan Rowley with when the brakes forgot to stay put? An excellent ad libber: Eddy Morey. It might be interesting to note that Mr. Hynes downed his limit in pheasants while on a bit of a hunting trip. Dust Thou No? Bruce Garllnghouse has a very fine personal- ity for an eighth grader. Keep It up. Bright Eyes. Judson Clapper and Mr. Rohlfs seem to make an excellent comedy team the fifth hour in the senior study hall. Why not try Major Bowes’ hour, boy 8? What happened to the snake that they had In the biology room? Better watch out when you open your locker. Personal nomination for our hero, Smokey Sto- ver. Foo! We don’t like the newr honor roll system. (You’re right, we didn’t get on.) Speaking of nothing in particular, hasn’t Lyle Sterling got a cheerful smile? Elwood Satterlee certainly is brave. He sold more magazine subscriptions than any of the other juniors. Which picture did you like best at the art ex- hibit? Wendell Moore, Myrl Granger and Wayne Cole have received appointments on the publications staff at Cleary college, Ypsilanti. They all write men’s sport stories. This staff will publish a student newspaper at regular intervals during the term and a year-book in the spring.
