When we have achieved success after graduation, we will know that It has been partly due to the patience j nri cooperation that our teachers have shown us throughout high school. This year has been particu- larly eventful and successful under the guidance of our faithful advisers. Marena Kiplinger. Jacob Van Vessem, and Earl Mead. The senior class is especially grate- ful to William Austin, who directed the senior play so skillfully. We hope the other classes have all the success and happiness that we know they de- serve and are confident that they will uphold the courtesy and good sports- manship that our school has always maintained.

Sorry, but I must leave you now. so. Cheerio. On Into the Unknoiun In September, 1936. the class of '39 began their high school careers. Ap- proximately 150 students began the long, four year grind. Failures, trans- fers. and others who quit school cut the class down by about forty members, and the graduating class numbered about 110 persons. Rosemary King presided in the freshman year: Max Tullls lead the group in the sophomore y ar; Bob laidd headed them in the junior year; and Murrey Chandler was the senior head executive. The Patsy , a three act play, was chosen and presented in 1938. David Elies and Rosemary Fielder took the leading roles. They were supported by Pauline Thompson. Jo Jane Mur- ray. Robert Purkhurst, Mary Nan Rowley. Carl Rochester. K. A. Anderson, and Jack Young. The group revived the senior class play idea by presenting Nothing But The Truth in 1939. Eldred Toutant and Rosemary Fielder had the leading roles. Carl Paine. Bob Sparks. Frank- lin Loueks. Max Tullis. Eleanor Campbell. Rosemary King. Pauline Thompson, Jo Jane Murray, and Anna May Myers were in the supporting cast. The junior play was reproduced a second time, due to popular demand. The senior play was only given once due to a full schedule. The co-operative qualities of the senior cast aidej the senior trip fund and consequently a second production was unnecessary. The class of 39 is not behind in their remarkable array of sports. Many distinguished athletes are en- rolled in the senior class and are members of the varsity teams. The lH ys who are not on the varsity ath- letic roster have captured the inter- class basketball title In their junior and senior years. They have also run away with Interclass track hon- ors. Many more seniors have contribut- ed entertainment in assemblies, mix- ers and various other school activi- ties. Mayor Max Tullis and Sec- retary Jo Luckc have been very ef- ficient in their council work, while Littyanne Fernsler. Bob Sparks, and Bob Ladd were council representa- tives from the home rooms. The class has had a very successful year and their trip to Put-in-Bay was a trip never to be forgotten. Rev. Leon Manning conducted baccalaur- eate services. Commencement exer- cises were held June 17. . . . iHitjr S . . . NAME M. AUrn K. A. Anderson V Austin I . Bams It. Bilker A ni-lK.'tt (I. Blood 1 . Ilotiaka V. Hoyles L. Hracy K CblitpbeU M. J.

The CHARHIAN jumoRS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Wo. the class of 1910. draw the curtain on our third year in high school and genuinely regret that we only have one more year to spend there. We hope that our senior year will prove itself to he as fruitful and enjoyable as this year was. During our term as juniors we staged the Junior-Senior Prom, the Junior Play, the Christmas Mixer, and were fortunate enough to receive first prize in the annual Thanksgiving drive sponsored by the Student Coun- cil. We deeply appreciate the labor and the untiring efforts of our class ad- visers and whole-heartedly extend our thanks to Mrs. Alleen Combs. William Austin, and Kenneth Brown, who aided us greatly in making our junior year such a pleasant one. We also think the students of the junior class did an excellent job of selling tickets for the junior play and magazine subscriptions. To this year's graduating class who are departing from the high school this June, we wish you Oceans of Success in the field which you choose as your life's work. JIM SPA.VIOLO.

Sine the eighth graders of today will undergo the honors” of being freshmen next year, and later be sophist lea led seniors that roam the halls, they deserve the consideration of an excellent up-and-coming class. At the beginning of the year the class held a meeting and elected the following officers: President. Duane Nicol; vice president. Geraldine Nic- cum: secretary. Sheridan Walter- worth; and treasurer. Homer Parish. Advisers for the group are home room teachers: Miss Margaret Johnson, teaching English. Latin, and French her first ear at Charlotte: and Miss Hilda Angerer, a junior high teacher. The class solved the money problem for their class pictures und annual picnic by selling dishcloths and selling candy noon hours for two eight-week periods. A bake sale. Sat- urday. May 3. was also very success- ful. As a result of their successful selling campaign, no dues were neces- sary The queen that served for the eighth grade, Marjorie Papol. was an 8b the second semester and therefore classed with the seventh grade, but was allowed to serve in Queen Lor- etta Terwilllger's court as eighth grade representative. Members of the student council, from the two seventh grade home rooms, were David Shaull and Paul Hall David Shaull represented home room 151. and Paid Hall was from room 305. Several parties were held in con- junction with the seventh grade, and. states Miss Angerer, they were very successful in acquainting the mem- ber of the two classes. In their contributions for the needy at Thanksgiving, they were given honorable mention for their neatness and the outstanding arrangement of their offering that was placed on stage. During the first five marking periods they have had sever ! pupils who were on the honor roll four times. This means that they receiv- ed nothing lower than H's in any of their subjects of which they are tak- ing five or six. The honor students were, from Miss Angerer’ room.

PRESIDENT S MESSAGE When we first entered Into the eighth grade we were amazed at the new rooms and subjects we were tak- ing. We were all hoping to pass through the eighth grade so we could take part in the senior high sports. Some of us are members of the junior and senior bunds. Among the outside activities are: Girl Scouts. Camp Fire Girls, and Hoy Scouts, all cf which some of us are members. Several of our boys went out for the junior high basketball team. This will give them experience for later years. I am happy to say that the other officers and students have co-operated with me In every way. We look forward to being freshmen next year and to taking Latin. Algebra, and French. We sponsored a few parties, and we hope to have many more. We wish to thank our advisers. Mrs. Weymouth.

BILL WATSON PRESIDENT JOYCE WEINMAN VICE-PRESIDENT CONNIE BEEBE SECRETARY NEIL ROBERTS TREASURER Student Council Designs New Plan For Junior Hi Seventh and eighth graders were not allowed to attend the regular student mixers this year. Con- sequently. a different recreation plan was designed for their specific use. They planned and held parties in the gym. strictly by themselves. The pirn was adopted to avoid congestion that existed in the gyms, when all classes met together. When the various grade committees met they designed a program chiefly of their own desire. Games and parties were planned, if they wanted to dance, dancing was arranged. These parties were held about once a month. Sometimes oftener. some- times not so often, depending entirely on how full the calendar was. The lower grades were admitted to the activity ticket party which was on Friday. April 21. The party was. in reality. Just another mixer, so the two grade classes did actually have access to a mixer. Don Hoffman's orchestra, of Lan- sing. furnished the music. During intermission, movies were shown in the auditorium, after which free re- freshments were served. All students with activity tickets were admitted free, while others could purchase tickets for the party at the door. Those not wishing to dance played ping pong and other games. J. Ax tell. M.

Because the seventh grade has been included In the high school, we give them high honorable mention In our school year book. We all know that some day they will be graduating from Charlotte high as the seniors of this year. They have that goal yet to reach. Their class motto Is, “We Do Our Best , and they try to follow it ns well as possible. Miss Helen Collins, physical educa- tion teacher, and Ward Hynes, band leader, and history teacher, acted as advisers of the class during the year. Mrs. Leora Weymouth, seventh grade teacher, also helped to make the year successful. At the beginning of the school year the seventh grade gave he honor of presidency to “Bill” Watson; vice-presidency to Joyce Weinman; their secretarial work to Connie Beebe; and the responsibility of trea- surer to Neil Roberts. Aldermen, selected by the class at the beginning of the year for student council, were Betty Lou Squibb and John Dimond. Home room numbers of the class are 250 and 152. One night after school, the seventh grade sponsored a penny dance In the oltl gym. It was open for r 11 high school students, who wished to at- tend. This was only one way in which they tried to raise money for the class. Another time they sold popcorn balls along with their noon candy sales in the school bul'.dlng hall. Blue and gold are the colors that this ambitious group chose to represent their c!ass. Pine Lake. Olivet, was the chosen place for their school picnic, which was held May 26, Since they are not admitted to student mixers they have their own parties They pay ten cents to get in and they play games and have refreshments. Connie Beebe received the most votes for queen from this class of the Journalism Carnival and thus served as one of the senior queen's. Loretta Terwllllger's. attendants. Much talent has been shown by the class, for future assemblies in the coming school years. . . . ixiyr H . . . The CHARHIAN SPORTS Pigskin Toters Place Second In Conference By Jack Mate After lowing th opening football gMm of the season to Lakevlew. the . - . .mi«- to life ill midseason to d« f t 11 rivals in the Capitol Cir- cuit Conference, except the strong Eaton Rapids eleven. A heartbreak- ing 8-7 defeat was administered by the Islanders to nose out Charlotte for the conference championship. In the beetle Armistice Day game. Charlotte out-guarded, out-passed and out-nlayed the Eaton Rapids team an I ass leading 76 as the game neared the close. A short, flat pass, by Tou- tant was Intercepted by Kowalk on th - forty yard line and returned to Charlotte's twenty. The Islanders slashed off a first down on the 9 yard line Charlotte's powerful line held and took over the lrnll on downs, on the one foot line. Tullls. standing 10 yards back In the end zone, prepared to kick, but the pass from center was slightly high and he was caught In his own end zone, which automatic- ally gave Eaton Rapids the two points which meant victory. In the first game of the season. Lakevlew high school was victorious over Charlotte 60. The lone score came on a pass. The Orioles out play- ed Lakevlew but were halted on sev- eral goal-line marches by frequent penalties. In the second game the Orlo.es played better ball and were victorious by a 21-0 score, over n weaker Bidd- ing eleven. The first score came in the opening period on a pass from Toutant to Ladd, who ran 28 yards for the initial marker; the second, on a pass to Snyder; and the third, a 5 yard plunge, by Toutant. All extra points were made by Toutant on off tackle slants. The next game resulted In a 0-0 deadlock with Hastings high.

In four plays, they were back on the five with no touchdown. In the first conference game of the season, the Orioles ran all over the Mason Maroons by a 19-0 score. The second team played half of the game. Julius Fisher, a substitute halfback. Toutant. and l add were the touch- down getters of the day. Th. Grand Ledge game was to be played at a later date because of u solge of smullpox. but finally was forfeited to the Orioles. Linksmen Prepare For Promising Season With four seniors back this year, the Charlotte Oriole golfers looked forward to an unusually successful season. Bob Ladd. Bob Spice. Dave Elies, and Lawrence Tiegeler are the four who returned. Russell Spice, a junior, also shows promise of becom- mi able golfer on the varsity quartet. Orville Tiegeler is also ex- pected to see action as six boys. In- stead of four, may be used In each match. Because the Maroons' golfers disbanded, the two matches scheduled with Mason were called off. and will 1m replaced by two games with the Olivet College freshmen. Each boy. able to participate in an oncoming match, must first qualify for each match. The four (or six) with the lowest scores will be gen- erally used. The schedule for the year is: May 4—St. Johns, there. May 11—Howell, here. May 18- St. Johns, here. May 25—Howell, there.

Stars All athletes have one or two mo- ments that stand out to them as their most thrilling experience in competi- tive sports. Here are some of the Charlotte high school athletes' thrills of once in a lifetime . BOB LADD: My most thrilling moments were landing in some girl’s lap during the Eaton Rupids basketball game, and defeating Lakevlew in basketball for the district championship. My most disappointing one was losing the Ea- ton Rapids football game by a safety 8-7. MURRAY CHANDLER: My grentest thrills came when we defeated Lakevlew In the district tournament and defeating Mason in basketball in an overtime. My most embarrassing moment came when 1 ripped my track shorts at the regional track meet and had to run with them pinned up with a safety pin. ELDRED TOUTANT: It came when I scored the win- ning touchdown in the last few seconds of play against St. Johns In '37. I was disappointed most when Eaton Rapids scored a safety to de- feat us in football 8-7. MAX TULLIS: Scoring 10 (mints to help defeat Lakevlew for the district champion- ship in basketball thrilled me most. 1 was embarrassed most when I fell over a hurdle in the Regional meet at Flint. I was in second place at the time.” BOB BAKER: “Scoring the winning basket against East Lanslug as a junior was my biggest thrill in sports. Getting three hits out of three against Joe De- Rose. Mason star pitcher, next. COACH GOBEL: Winning the St. Johns football game In 37 by coming from behind 7-0 in the last minute of play. We won 14-7 I was disappointed most when we lost to East Lansing In basket- ball at Albion and when we were defeated by Eaton Rapids in foot- ball 8-7. BUD LOUCKS: Mine was pitching a 2 hit game to defeat Grand Ledge 3-0 last year as a Junior. I was disappointed most when 1 struck out with the Imses full against Eaton Rapids. BOB SPARKS: Making a 10 foot pole vault at East Ionising in the Conference meet last year. I was disappointed most (Continued on page 16) Thinclads In Fight For Second Conference Title (By Bob Baker) In spite of the graduation of many last year track stars.

Starting with a new coaching set- up in 1937. under the direction of Wil- ford Rohlfs. the Orioles dropped but two games. This gave them the title of Conference Champions in 1938 which was the first baseball cham- pionships our school had won in bet- ter than 10 years. Graduation left two vacancies, the catching position and one pitcher. Thus far. Jimmy Spaniolo. a very capable junior, who held down third base last season, has filled the post as catcher and has yet to make a mis- play. Fred Welting, a newcomer from Lansing, has played third to fill one of the vacancies. While on the mound. Franklin Loucks. Julius Fish- er. Lyle Kane. Dale and Lowell Shu- maker have won the starting berths. Franklin Loucks and Julius Fisher, both seniors and veteran pitchers, have looked very good in competition and will undoubtedly be the hackl one of the pitching staff. Charlotte has a very clever infield, small but fast Spaniolo. a smart catcher, is only a junior and is play- ing his third year on the varsity squad. Jack Mate, the first baseman, has also •' iialed this mark and his splendid plays, both offensively and defensively, have been outstanding Rob Raker, a senior, has filled the second base position and has yet to make an error. Bob Ladd at shortstop has led his team both in fielding and hitting and has helped his teammates to many victories. On third, Fred Wieting is doing a fine job. His alternate Is Wayne Terwllliger. a freshman. who has shown great ability. In the outfield there has been very keen competition, hut thus far. El dred Toutant. who played right field on the '38 squad, has been shift« 1 to centerfleld with Wendell Dickinson in right and Dale Shumaker in left. Tennis Team Results The past year inaugurated for the first time in Charlotte’s history, a school tennis team. Although under the handicap of Insufficient tennis practice facilities. Mr. Koch and the team members are well satisfied with the results attained. The team play- ed four matches, two at Mason, one at Eaton Rapids, and one at St. Johns. The first game played was with Mason, on May 16. Charlotte took this match playing one double and two single matches. winning the doubles, and one of the singles.

In the second game of the season the Orioles defeated Grand Ledge in heir first conference game 30-12 and later trimmed the same team 38-22. The next game found Charlotte over- whelming St. Johns by the lopsided score of 47-19 on the latter’s floor. In the return game at Charlotte. St. Johns was again beaten 46-12. On the Orioles third trip away, they came from behind In the first quarter to win from Howell 38-16. The Highland- ers were heuten later by a more de- cisive score. 40-17. on the Charlotte court. The closest battle of the sea- son took pluce when Charlotte eked out a victory over Mason 30-29 in a clean fast game. Two over-time periods were necessary for the Orioles to chalk up the win. Later, Muson was swamped by a vastly im- proved Oriole team 28-20 on the Ma- roon court. The first game between two great rivals was next to be play- ed with Charlotte trouncing Eaton Rapids on the Cardinal home floor by a 28-17 score. On Eaton Rapids re- turn visit they were again beaten, this time by a 28-24 score. Hastings, another non conference team, was beaten by the Orioles twice 28-20. 29- 17.

The CHARHIAN ftflTUfif Noted Janitor Reveals Secrets Our noted Janitor was found well, you can guess. He was tending to the welfare of our school building. Ed. thinks our marvelous school structure is a fine building, but above all he likes the kids that scamper around the halls. We all know Ed. by his smile and friendliness, and he pays great tribute to the seniors by saying that they were the nicest class ever to graduate from Charlotte high school. Mr. Lietzke was once a semi-pro ballplayer and naturally this is his favorite s| ort. Ed. has his favorites iu Oriole sports but he would rather keep this to himself. Harley and I will sure miss the kids, when they leave. Of course, some more will come in. but it is different to have them leave . These were the words of our faith- ful Janitor. Ed. Lietzke. The seniors and all future seniors will surely miss Ed. Three cheer for our Janitor. Kathleen Mikesell. high school secretary and co-chairman of the Prom, wore peach organza June 9.

A Charhian Short Story Thousands of trials and tribulations harass tae life of all t'harniuu s.aff members and this year has been no exception. Hut the staff has woiked hard, doing Its best to put out a .h- ferent and interesting book lor the students of Charlotte high. Our an- nual Is for the students and by the students. There are fourteen members on any Charhian staff, and in reality, there are two divisions. One division is the business end of the thing, capably headed this year by Loretta Terwiilt- ger, and the other is the editorial aspect looked after by the two editors. Bob Ladd and Jo Murray. On this year's business staff are the follow- ing: Business Manager..Loretta TerwilUger Ass't Business Manager....Ted Packard Circulation Managers.......Ed. Marple Jane Austin Typists .................Pauline Baas Mary Jean Carmen Program Manager..........Bob Parkhurst Photographic Manager.......Bob Pulton Those on the editorial staff are: Editors.........Bob Ladd. Jo Murray Class Editor......................Carl Rochester Sports Editor..............Jack Mate Feature Editor...-.........Jane Peters Calendar Ed Lor.......Dorothy Snoke The student body first became defi- nitely aware of the Charhian staff when they presented the yearly Char hian assembly, written by program manager. Bob Parkhurst. This clever and to the point skit announced the opening of the annual sales and of a heatcj contest between tne boys and the girls. For the first time within anyone's memory (even Mr. McCall's) the girls sold a few more yearbooks than the fellows did to win the con- test In a blaze of glory. The reward was a picnic at Duck lake May 29 when the fellows did all the work from setting the table to eating most of the food I which wasn’t hard at all for it was a swell feed. In fact the girls would like to take time here to thank the boys for the outing). After the Charhian sales came the Journalism Carnival sponsored jointly by the journalism classes and the yearbook staff. Tills was a gala affair. The school building was turned over for a night to Indians and popcorn 1 Mills and Rocket tea and wild men from Borneo and practically anything you could mention. Anyway, it was a huge success, financially, as well as giving everyone a lot of fun. This was also a by-product of the program Brown Again Coaches Intramural Cagemen Traditional rivalry between the classes was resumed this year when Kenneth Brown's interclass basket- ball players entered strong competi- tion. Mr. Brown devised a method of distinguishing the teams by calling them different animal names. Law- rence Teigeler’s senior team and last year’s winners, were tagged the Tur- keys. senior runner-ups in last year's tournament were christianed Clark's Colts, Sterling's junior contenders were the Steers. Mayhew and his sophs” were the Mules. Cox's juniors fought under the name of Cows. Reed led his frosh Rams. Haley and his freshmen were the Hogs, and Haines drove his Horses to battle. Many close games and some one- sided ones were the result of the friendly battles, but the Turkeys fin- ally downed them all and Telgeler's team ran away with the victory for the second straight year. The Colts and Steers gave them a tough battle all the way. managers buzzing brain. Things were peaceful enough from then on to the ouiwa d eye. but under- neath the surface the staff was in a frenzy preparing copy and balancing budgets, choosing cover designs and planning layouts for the yearbook. It wasn't too unusual to enter the office or journalism room attd find reams of frothy proofs swallowing up a desperate editor. But finally June came, the honor students were chosen, and the Charhian actually neared completion. The editors could sit back and breathe once more. The Char hian was off the presses, the cover company, and the hinders. Finally it reached you. the students of Charlotte high school. And that is the story of your year- book. Campfire Girls Have June Council Fire Two Camp Fire groups have been meeting regularly this year in con- nection with the school. One group, under the direc t Ion. or guardianship of Miss Helen Collins, is called the Wetomachlck group and Is for senior high girls. Miss Hilda Angerer is the guardian for the other group called the Okiciyapi Campfire girls. The first meetings were devoted mainly to election of officers. Octo- ber 27 the older Campfire girls took a long hike ami had an evening cook- out. It was at this meeting that Lucille Goldman was elected presi- dent for the year; Iconise McGInnes, vice-president; Louise Griffin, secre- tary: and Audrey Youngs, treasurer. Miss Angerer's group elected Jean Carlson for the office of president; Dorothy Middaugh. secretary; and Margery Garvey, treasurer. The two groups have met separate- ly all year but have combined their strength for Council Fires and for the Christmas wreath sales in Decem- ber. The first ceremonial of the year was November 21. New members were formally Initiated and several ranks were awarded to girls who have been progressing in Campfire. A younger group, led by Miss Estella Barker, former Charlotte high grudu ate. also participated in this council ! fire. And then along came Christmas time and the groups concentrated on selling the wreaths for a money-mak- ing project. The Campfire girls also Rural Students Plan Club Play Serving refreshments to the rural students on rural visitors day was our biggest achievement , stated Mildred Cole, president of the rural students club. Other officers in the club are Jose- phine Lucke. secretary; and Max Dowker. treasurer. Plans are being made for a rural student play to be inaugurated next year. This idea has never been car- ried out here in Charlotte but it should be a successful enterprise for the country students who form such a , large part of the student body. made Christmas presents for their friends and families. Earning honors and passing tests so that they could advance a step further In Campfire has occupied the girls' time during the second sem- ester. Their outdoor ceremonial was held June 1. Approximately 50 girls gathered together to receive the hon- ors they had earned during the year. Hazel Pierce. Elina Klaiss. and Irene Aseltine received their trallseeker's awards. Those that took the wood- gatherer’s rank were Dorothy Riedl. Ann Gregarek. Marylin Johnson, Mor- ene Nielsen. Majorie Taylor. and Louise Griffin. Five girls. Jean Cot- trell. Lucille Goldman. Audrey Youngs. Mary Lou Keeler, and Barbara Row- ley. passed their third rank, that of firemakers. Miss Helen Collins. Miss Hilda Angerer. Miss Estella Parker, and Mrs. J. R. Snow were the guard- ians in charge of the ceremonial. .•r Gridders, Band Set For Coming Season Football, probably the most color- ful of all fall sports, follows closely on the heels of the ending of the school year. Charlotte high, of course, will be again well represented on the grid- iron with the return of such veterans as Jimmy Spaniolo. Bob Huber, Ray- mond Snyder. Jack Mate. Lynn Fow- ler. Bill Clever.

Student Ticket Sales Going Up Activity Ticket Sales Are Well Over 300 Mark To save money and sponsor more and better activities, Charlotte high school students who wish, pay $1.25 for a student activity ticket. For this value each student may attend four football and four basketball games, each game equivalent to twenty-five cents, four lyceum numbers and spec- ials in costing them fifteen cents apiece, and seven Orange Blacks, a single copy costing five cents. This will mean a saving of $1 70 to every htudent who buys a ticket. The Student Council Is discussing the pos- sibility of charging twenty-five cents to all those going to student mixers who do not purchase a ticket and let- ting those who do. in for fifteen cents.

The following are the five rules in the order that they should be taken. 1. Find a long sloping grassy hill and pro- ceed to roll down the incline as fast as you can, snatching a mouthful of grass each time your face is turned toward the ground. 2. Next, place your hands firmly on the top of your head, hold your feet closely together and jump up and down the stairs ten times, screaming loudly at the top of your voice. 3. Now, if these haven't cured you by now, bend the body backwards till the head touches the floor and whistle in reverse for five minutes. 4. This fourth one never fails. Place a glass of milk firmly in the right hand, twist it around the back of the head till the milk enters the mouth from the left side. It's best to take about a quart. 5. The last step is as follows; Place the head In a bucket of distilled water and inhale deeply twelve times. If all of these fail, drink a glass of water.

Well we did. and we thought that they were pretty good, didn't you? Can we see some more of them? We are very sure that they would oblige by leading us In a few school cheers now and then. It's a free country isn’t it? I really think those scamps like to get up there in front of all of you and go through the antics they do! Also Parky said, III get ’em up there again if I have to drag ’em”. Will you yell and yell?? Personality Paragraphs We have a genius among us. It is none other than Ed Marple. that smiling senior lad. who spends his spare time building miniature auto- mobiles, which he has displayed many times. As to his likes and dislikes he has few. His favorite dish is double chocolate sodas. He dislikes read- ing books, but he enjoys music, especially the Hour of Charm which has an all girl orchestra. As for the girls he has little to say except he dis- likes to see them smoke or drink. One of the C. H. S. golf chnmps. Laurence Teigler, has ideas of his own. His favorite des- sert is chocolate pie, and as for a vegetable he favors cole-slaw. He enjoys golf, and is on the high school golf team. When asked about the op- posite sex, he blushed and replied, They're all right.” Michigan State college has another up and com- ing student in the freshmen class of this year, ac- cording to one of Charlotte's seniors, who prefers the state college where many tall, blond fellows are in attendance. She also likes dances with swing music played by Tommy Dorsey’s orchestra, sports, and she thinks Don Ameche is wonderful. Her dislikes are long French lessons, studying, and onions in salads. She also states that cheating should be prohibited with brick throwing. She Is president of the Dramatics club, chairman of the assemblies for the year, and co-editor of the Char- hian. Who Is she? None other than Jo Jane Mur- ray. Teachers Beware Teachers! Faculty members, did you know one-half or three fourths of your classes were fill- ed with “Dilly Dally-optera or commonly called jitterbugs and rugcutters? The remedy is simple, simply sprinkle a dash of swing on them. Mr. Goodman's licorice stick.” or Mr. Dorsey's “slush pump” will do very nicely. They’ll get in the groove, they'll truck over the threshold. More Stuff, Ft Cetera The writers of this page have taken a pre- medical course at Michigan State college and are, therefore, very anxious to display their wealth of knowledge. We have here a little cure for poison ivy. as we have seen traces of it around the school, (note: Jo M. and Rosemary F. had better memorize this!) Procure a very sharp knife, spit on blade to cleanse it. simply cut out infected section of body. That is all. yet. gangreen may set in. so take it easy! Mr. McCall is trying to stamp out the dreaded disease as It spreads readily. He has giv- en permission to any student thusly afflicted to retire from the educational processes of this school for six weeks!!!!!!!!! If slicing does not stop spread of affected area, an overnight soak in picklebrine will do the trick, or better yet. apply to this office for some of its own special cure. A sale is now going on. and for only, think of it!, $2.98. you can get your big generous 2 ox. bottle. GET YOURS NOW!!!! How does this body of studious pupils find the new faculty members?

The wiener roast took in part of a football game. Indian wrestling matches between some of the huskies, and ended with much harmony and raw notes. To translate the above statement. Rosemary Fielder, sweet and demure as the seniors go. took possession of the catsup bottle on the two yard line and made rapid advances down the road by a series of laterals to King. Mort” Quirk and Mur- ray. Just as the team was in scoring position Miss Toms. Girt Reserve adviser, intercepted a pass and triumphly carried the pigskin, catsup bottle, to the picnic table in time for everyone to dig in and fill up on wieners, marshmallows, cho- colate milk, and apples. In fact many of the gals ate so much that various forms of exercise soon took the place of the game of rugby played before supper. But finally calm and dignity overtook everyone while the girls settled down to sing songs. Les femmes were so good on the harmony that we suggest they make a practice of it. And to show the good ole school spirit they ended up with the Old Alma Mater before the familiar cry. “Let’s go” rang out. but not until everyone pledged to make this year the best ever for the Girl Reserves. And oh. yes. Just to satisfy the publisher of this sheet, and make this conform to a convential news story, the feast took place Tuesday, October 18. at the roadside park on M-78. “Come On Team Fight” It seems that our vocal explosives at pep meetings have a wet fuse, but what shall we do about K?

I like all music and sports, es- pecially football, am very much interested In science, and take chocolate sundaes before any other kinds. We’ve seen her in the sax section of our band, in assemblies singing popular songs, and before the lights in numerous plays. I ast year one of the main members of the operetta cast at the last moment was taken sick with the mumps. Some one was needed to take her place, and this rosey-cheeked senior acted as substitute. She learn- ed the part in two hours and played It with flying colors. She likes to be called ‘Suzy’ but her given name is Rosemary, to be exaot, Rosemary Fielder . After much persuasion, the tall, brown-eyed lad from Lansing Eastern, known as Fred Wieting. consented to an interview. Coooanut cream pie Is his favorite food, and hunting is his hobby. Unlike :n.OharlotU students, he prefers chemistry to any other subject. He likes sports and is very in- terested in basketball. When asked how he liked Charlotte high school he stated that Charlotte has a better gym than most class A schools, and the auditorium is also very nice. He hopes Charlotte will play basketball with East loosing high school, and he Just wants to see Charlotte trim them. His humor cropped out when he stated that all Char- lotte lacked was an elevator. His prized posses- sion is a propeller, autographed by Clem Sohn. the bat-wing flier, who was killed in France laBt year. When asked about girls he said. The fewer the better with the exception of one in Charlotte. He plan to spend much of his time in Lansing playing independent basketball. My story surrounds this good-looking, versatile senior. Why? Because no one seems to know very much about him. Who? None other than Robert Ful- ton. Bob gave his permission to be quoted as saying. I could live mainly on roast beef, mashed potatoes, and Jello (strawberry) with lot of pine- apple.” For a hobby he collects material on boats and cars. He recently collected quite a bit of ma- terial. being a new Buick. Dances et cetera are all right, but I’m uninterested unless Cove's orch- estra furnishes the music, stated Bob. At the pre- sent Rags , Robert’s wire-haired terrier is his most cherished possession. Upon being asked the subject of girls he frankly answered, they are all right, but------- Suttan tPoppor For some unknown reason there has been a great many grouches reported in many of our classrooms lately. So if you are one of these grouchers you can check yourself with the follow- ing test questions. Answer truthfully. Do you become Irritated? ---When you are carefully writing an English theme and someone sneaks up behind you and hits your arm. making your paper look like a pen- manship practice? ---When you are hurrying to your next class and somebody playfully knocks your books all over the floor? ----When the person in back of you in the audi- torium gets restless and begins to pound his knee on the back of your seat. Jarring your uppers out of line? ---When you lend your new pencil to a pal and he returns it the next hour ground down to the eraser? ----When the teacher slaps on twenty more ques- tions because some guy over in the corner could- n't keep his trap shut? ---When you lend one of your hooks to someone and they return It looking like a looseleaf notebook after a year's usage? If you do become angry at these things you are a grouch. The best cure for this would be not to come to school for about two months next summer. There's One In Every Class ---The fellow who comes to class without his lesson, slumps down in his seat and with a very tired voice says. Aw gee I didn’t know we had anthing for today.” ---After the assignment haa been given and the whole class settled down to work, some wide- awake fellow pipes up. “What do we have for tomorrow? ---The fellow who studies his history In typing class, hie Journalism in history, his math, in Journalism. Is English in math, class and throws chalk, and erasers all study period. Hallowe'en Forecast The days are a wee bit chilly, the last leaves come tumbling down some brown, some red. These are really autumn days! There is that clean, brisk feeling in the wind. The smell of children burn- ing leaves and many other things we can’t explain, but know are there. The nights are gusty, the skies crystal clear specked with bright stars. This time of the year makes a fellow want to whistle whenever that blustering autumn wind hits his cheeks. But, there is something else in the air. A sort of mysterious feel.ng lurks in the shadows, behind each tree or pile of leaves. What is It? We all know, the children look forward to It for weeks, it’s an annual tradition older than the trees we walk under—Hallowe'en. When you see a sinister figure sauntering along the sidewalk! He is there for no good. But horrors! When three or more such rowdies” are espied, run for your life, if you value it, for the nearest rain-barrel and hide. Be sure that your sidewalks are rolled and the cats are out. for this is an ideal night for the feline race. Everyone of these annual nights of so-called “terror a family losses their back gates, barn door or some other essential. Of course, some dim-bulbs” are Just minus enough gray matter to think k fun to re- move some unfortunate's steps to another location or better yet throw some nice gooey mixture on the porch. Consequently this never results in auything but broken bicuspids if one is unlucky enough to fall off his unequipped veranda and the mixture formerly stated never did any porch floor any good. But, “boys will be boys , and if they must do this kid stuff, they must Some wise old birds, however, will be sitting on aforesaid steps with the family “blunderbuss choked to the mouth with rock-salt resting across their knee . Where does it get you. In the end? That's right. Let’s see if we can’t be a Iktle more temperate in our scampering around back yards, etc., this year, shall we? Neighbors expect some things on Hallowe'en. There will be a large Hallowe'en party on that one night of nights sponsored by the council and the business men of Charlotte. For you children who think that you are too old for a movie down at the Eaton theatre, there will be a nice big dance in the new gym. with Bob Cove’s baud play- ing the very good music that they are known for. I'm sure that this will keep some of you naughty boys off the streets on the night that you're supposed to do so. This will be a costume dance, and I imagine that there will be a glorious time to be had by all. We’ve been hearing so many students cry that they think there should be more dances in our school, so now that we put on a real entertaining frolic for you let’s see you all there instead of running around the streets like so many deer. If you really must give vent to all the steam you’ve been saving, we will let you scream all you want. There will be a very colorful parade for you who like to walk around town with your laughter-inspiring clothes. Can't we Just break down and have a good time? Three accidente have laid their terrifying fingers on Charlotte since school has started. Death has reached In twice to directly affect the lives of our fellow students. We don't want to sound preachy and we don't think k’s neces- sary after the lessons we have had. What can you do to guarantee a clean sheet for Charlotte from now on in motor accidents?

The Orioles were handlcaped by the loss of their star quarterback. Max Tullts, who was replaced by Julius Fisher for the game.

Mason received the opening kick off and after a series of fruitless plays kicked to Charlotte. In the entire first half both teams engaged in a punting duel with neither team being able to push over a touchdown. I I he second half the strong Char- lotte grid machine got underway and scored three times on a rather frus- trated Mason eleven The attack was led by quarterback Max Tullis and El- dred Toutsnt. The Orioles were about to push over a fourth touch- down when the game ended. One of the highlights of the game was the superb kicking by both Tullis and Bush.

Friday. October 28. The pur- pose of this debate was to show the Charlotte students what a debate was like, as they haven't had any In scho- lastic debating for several years. The subject for debate was re- solved: Thnt United States should es- tablish an alliance with Great Britain. On the affirmative side were: Joe Gad- eleto and Tom Kirkconnell. On the negative side were Bill Kirksey and Shirley Wolfe. The affirmative side attempted to prove that the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain, and that the purpose of alliance is to establish peace between all nations. The negative tried to prove that no alliance ever saved any country from war. Page2 ORANGE A.

McCall Reporters ...............Rest of Journalism class Publisher Managing Armistice Day Telephones rang! People shouted! The whole United States was in an uproar In cities confetti and streamers filled the air. Crowds were dancing in the streets. It was a time when emotions ruled and not discipline. Why? The armistice was sign- ed! An agreement had been reached between the Allies and Germany. The greatest war ever fought by nations was at an end. The soldiers that were left were coming home at last. It was a day of peace; to be held in reverence and glory. There may be glory in war but the glory of peace will outlive the glory of war. For every year since 1918. November 11 has been a national holi- day so that, as Americans, we may honor peace. This year we. as citizens, should pay more tribute to peace than ever before because of the European situation. War is so close to us that no one knows what may happen in the next twenty- four hours. In Plngland Armistice Day is observed by two minutes of silence In memory of the fallen. They are much more serious about this than we Ameri- cans. We celebrate by parades, football games, and campaigns for the relief of war veterans. But. no matter how we observe this day. let us keep it as a day of peace. World Comes To An End An explosion was heard! Students ducked the small particles flying in the air. Another, and still another explosion could be heard!! Soon the heads of the braver pupils could be seen peeping above the tables. Had Germany finally declared war? Was it the aftermath of the World war? Or had the world suddenly come to an end? That is what you might imagine but you are wrong. It seems that some chemistry students were doing an intricate experiment with hydrogen. But every- thing didn't work out right so these unlucky learn- ers of knowledge are out something like 40c for equipment. Let s Show Some School Spirit How about coming down to see the big football game when Charlotte plays Eaton Rapids? Where is that school spirit everyone is supposed to have? It's hard to believe but some students have never seen a football game. If you hnppen to be one of these, make up your mind that this can never he said of you again. If you have made up your mind to this effect, the team will appreciate your support and you will get the thrill of your life. So come on gang, let's all turn out for the game!! We be- lieve we have a good chance of winning, so three cheers for the team and more power to you. It seems that the journalism room is getting very popular with the students of this noble and learned house of correction, pardon me!!! I mean, instruction !!!!!! Every time that you turn around a person can be seen lurking in its depths. Can't we fix this, so that a guy who really wants to work can do so?? WE know thai some or most of you are not journalism students, the room is meant for them only, and you do not belong there. And say! so-called journalism, students how about working when you get in there heh???? School Conduct In Fire Easy Lessons Always wait until about fifteen seconds before the last bell rings and then try to break the record for the 100 yard dash while on the way to class. If you knock anyone’s books flying keep on going because if they are going slower than you are they probably have more time than you do. When late for class (of course this seldom hap- pens) never bring an admit, make the teacher keep on his toes and force you to go hack after one. Slam the door hard when you return, this will make the teacher Jump and he or she will give the matter his or her immediate attention, not only that but the students will also notice you and they will think you are a big shot. During assemblies always make it a point to speak to someone at least five or six seats away: this gets the speaker in a good mood and he will think that you are really an exceptional person, which in a sense (certainly not common sense) you are. When you are absent for an hour or so never get a summons nor an admit. Someone from the office will come around to find out where you were. The Idea of this is to break the monotony in the office because they never have anything else to do. Forget at least once a week (different people can alternate so there will be something missing every day), sometlhing that you should have for class. Certain things are best for this practice. Those generally recommeuded are: paper and books and also pencil sharpening. The teachers will give you an excellent mark for this trait: you know an E. Excuse me folks, the last bell Just rang.

Does it really mean anything to you; or 1b it just a few days vacation, or a little more sleep. Do you realize that Thanksgiving is not a day set as'de just to have n good time? It is a day to give thanks. Rememl er that no matter how little you have, there is always someone that has a little less. Add up the ways in which others have helped you. and you have helped others, you will find there are a great many things to be thankful for. Thanksgiving day is not meant to be spent un- happily. It is usually a family get-to-gether. many good things to eat. attending church, and a lively time for both the young and the old. But after all isn't this something to be thankful for? We should give thanks that we have many things to eat. that we are healthy and have a home in which to live. Tomorrow lets all give thanks for what we have done; it will be a much greater success. GETTIN’ AROUND WITH “BREEZY” Hello Folks: As we wander aimlessly into the study hall, sil- ence prevails and every little lad and lassie Is stud- iously pouring over his history and Latin. Par- don me folks, did I say silence? There seems to be a slight confusion among the male students. Ah. here is the answer! A scrumptious looking blonde, (but. who could be interested), has just appeared on the scene and is leisurely making her way to her place at a table across the study hall. Nothing of Importance! Well, everything is back to normal again. A strong muscular chap is busying himself by throw- ing paper wads. Maybe he will be the world’s champion baseball pitcher some day. who knows? Who cares! To the left of us sits a charming miss, who has undoubtedly either used a dental gum or Pepsodent tooth paste to give her that sunny smile People do accomplish miracles in this day and age. There goes the bell, but some of the robust students seem to think it’s a fire siren the way they are getting out of here. It I get out of this jam I’ll be seeing you again.

In Appreciation Hats off to one of the most prominent organ- izations of Charlotte, our own Oriole band, and to the untiring efforts of its director. Ward C. Hynes. V’arlous assemblies and programs are brighten- ed up by their snappy music and uniforms. Throughout the year the members of the band have marched in American Legion and Knights Tem- plar parades, and have been honored guests at scholastic and public activities. At Holland, in May. they were fortunate in receiving the highest rating among other high school bands of their class. Surely. Charlotte is accredited for having so wonderful an organization in its midst. Why Study? Why study? The boy’s quartet has a fine phil- osophy on the subject, but it’s contrary to the ob- ject of this editorial. You have four days vacation In which to catch up on your weight and last sleep, or you can enjoy yourselves and do your sleeping Monday. This Is what some will do as school is not so important to them. But why not make it important? America of- fers every youth the chance to learn, so why not take advantage of this and study? It isn’t so hard to do. If you do your assignments so that you have them ready on time and do them the best you can. you are sure to get a satisfactory mark on your card. The higher marks raise the standards of the school and this offers your neighbors splendid competition. Like football and basketball the co- operation of participants is needed and only the best make the first team. Why not catch up on those studies over vaca- tion (and your sleep) and start anew? Even if some of you do get good marks you could still do better. You shouldn’t be content to skim through things and expect to get a credit the last minute by cramming. So try to make the first team, and when you return from vacation know all the answers and stump the teachers for a change. I think that I shall never see. A test as hard as history. A test In which I must recall Things I have never learned at all. Of course, they've been discussed all year— I must have been asleep. I fear. Exams are flunked by fools like me.

Can’t we dance forever. Sweet? Time won’t matter to our feet. Days on end. oh. let us waltz; Years in decades, call no halts; Hold the moment close (like this) — Yield it and we yield our bliss— Hold It close as our embrace. Hold It long as planets race.

Wayland high school sent Its debate team to compete and win over the Charlotte high trio over the foreign alliance pro- lem. which has been the topic in question for several of the recent de- bates In Charlotte high school. The topic for debate was. resolved: That the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain. The C. H. S. affirmative team consists of Norman Dodge. Bob Parkhurst. and Lucille Goldman, who proved that our present foreign policies warrant a change, an alliance would help re- serve world peace, and both nations would benefit.

McCall Reporters ... .........Rest of Journalism cIass Story Of Christmas We connect the celebration of Christmas as the result of the birth of Jesus Christ, yet these same celebrations were going on hundreds of years before Christ was born. The early Christians simply adopted these ceremonies and pageantries which had been used by their ancestors before the Christian religion was ever heard of. The first celebration which we have on record look place on May 12 in the year 200 B. C. in the city of Alexandria. Egypt. I ater the celebration date was moved to April 1st. then to Januury; and finally about the year 300 A. D. it was fixed on December twenty-fifth. During the middle ages Christmas was cele- brated with plays and feasts. Some of these are still put on in cities in Spain and Italy. Each country has developed their own customs in regard to celebrating Christinas. England originated the yule log and the mistle- toe ideas. In the Druidistn religion of ancient Britain mistletoe was sacred and then was the origin of the kiss when a person passed under it. In Germany and Scandinavia Kris-Kringle hides the gifts for children in strange places, while the urn of fate gives presents to Italian children. The urn is a large bowl in which the gifts are placed. In France Bonhomme Noel’’ (Father Christ- mas) fills the little wooden shoes left on the hearth stone. The most popular custom in the United States Is the decorating of the evergreen “Christ- mas Tree”. It originated in Germany In the sixteenth century and was adopted by the Christian countries during the middle ages of the nineteenth century. Every country has its own Christmas songs many which are represented in the favorites of the people in America. Personality Paragraphs After chasing K. A. Anderson, one of Char- lotte’s up-and-coming young men. around in un effort to learn his dear to the heart secrets, he finally revealed some interesting data. His fav- orite swing is Benny Goodman's lads, while as a sport there is nothing he enjoys better than a rough game of ping pong. This senior enjoys sitting through a wild western movie such as Gene Autry .n • Flaming Six Guns ’or lounging In front of the radio on Sunday night listening to “The Mummers.” As his teachers know, his hobby Is drawing (he does his practicing in classes), while another pastime is his cornet (you might ask tho neighbors how good he is), which he has played in the band during his high school years. His pet peeve is “unreliable people , and as for girls he stated, my opinion of girls is more or less private. When I asked what he wanted Santa Claus to bring him, he replied, a super charged Dusenburg (Just a small one).” After looking high and low through every room I 1 finally cornered this popular senior in the old chemistry laboratory studing hard for an oncoming test. Soon he was telling me his life secrets, his likes and dislikes, and his favorites In the fields I of sports, music and education. His favorite dish is escaHoped potatoes and his favorite subject civics. When the subject of girls was touched upon he became strangely quiet, but as soon as Eaton Rapids was mentioned his face broke into a very contagious smile. His one and only peeve is smok- I ing. especially among the opposite sex. He is i planning to go to college after finishing high school but is not sure Just which one. Albion, among others schools has been taken into consideration. If you havent yet guessed who this is. here an a few more helpful hints. He is president of the I Hi-Y and holds the office of class treasurer for the seniors. He has won four letters in both I football and basketball and one each in baseball and track. He also is an active member of the I scouts besides holding the eagle scout award. Just In case you don't know who this senior des- cribed is. here is the final clue.—Eldred Toutant. Our Gift To Posterity A very popular Junior boy finally gave in after an hour of persuasion to an interview. He is not a small boy so no one is going to run over him. His residence has always been in Charlotte and he stated that he Is very fond of his city and school. Football and hockey are his two out- standing sports, although his pastime is driving and caring for his model A Ford. His music ability is displayed admirably in his whistling. Star Dust will always cling to his ears as his favorite song. When asked about the subject of girls he replied. Some of them will do. The most thrilling moment he has had thus far was blocking the kick in Charlotte’s last football game against Eaton Rapids. When the question of food was brought up he declared chocolate pud- ding, hamburgers, and ice cream are his favorites. Now that you have been told a little about the likes and dislikes of this Junior we might add that his name is Lawrence Bud” Chester Ham- mond—Forget the middle name. The year offers no better time than Christmas season to remember that America signifies freedom. And that in this democracy men are not judged by their race or religion but by what they think and do. Men give pledges to Hitler. Stalin and Mus- solini to aid In glorifying their countries. Those men In dictator countries Just mean more man power to the fighting strength of that country. But Americans are granted freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, and in every way regarded as individuals, not as slaves to dictator’s will. We are indebted for the privileges which we now enjoy, to the founders of our country. Many of them gave their lives so that we might live as a free race. Again, as our ancestors were in the past, we are at the present, the custodians of our coun- try and in turn, government, which spells liberty to all its just citizens. Our forefathers Judiciously earned this nation and gave It to us as a gift. The greatest gift which any of us can give is this heritage of freedom. Let us show an appreciation for this heritage by keeping the engine of freedom, our government, well oiled and greased with the lubrication of Just and loyal Integrity. And keep its body, our forests, plains and cities, clean, healthful and fruit bearing, to give as a present to our posterity. Christmas Spirit Is Result of Tree Have you noticed the Christmas tree that is making the front hall much brighter? 'inis tree was bought for the school with the money donated by tho students, as has been done in previous years. It was decorated by the girls in the Advanced Home Economics class, who also in previous years have done the honors in beautifying the trees. This tree is a part of the Christmas decorations that the student council is sponsoring to aid in promoting the Christmas spirit. The council col- lected about $2.SO toward this from the donations that were made in the lower hall the first week in December. This should aid the students In promoting a better feeling during the Christmas holidays, which is the idea of Christmas, and should be continued for the years to come so that the students will henceforth enjoy the Yuletide spirit at school, as well as at home. Tho decorations at tho entrance of the build- ing also deserve much recognition. Mayor Tunis has entered them in the Christmas decorations contest. Up and Dotvn the Jfcatt Congratulations, congratulations, and more congratulations to the cast of this year's Junior play. It was a splendid production. Each member played his part so well that, if one tried, he could not select any one of them as being the best. Mrs. Combs, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Austin, especially, deserve much credit as a result of their efforts with the stage setting, mangement, and directing. Ye scribbler, .while snooping around the dress- ing room after the play, overheard the following comments. Jack Mate Was my face red!!?’ Neil Tomlinson: fl still don't know where ‘Dooley’ is. Howard Newsome: Did I drop my dialect? Bob Huber: Dont forget the party!’ All that could be heard from the general direction of the girls dressing room was a very audible sigh of relief, and a unanimous agreement that it was u lot of fun as well as a lot of work. Keep up the good work, class of '40, and the best of luck in the future! What Is your favorite radio program? Kay Kyser's Musical class and dance has an immense following among C. H. S. students. Llttyanne Fernsler, Mildred Cole, and Helen Foster are a few of Kay's ardent admirers. Incidentally, what happened to the long bench in the lobby of the new building? City as well as rural students are wondering about its mysterious dissappearance. Several weeks ago there were rumors of noon- hour dancing. Ye scribbler thinks this is an ex- cellent idea and would like to see it materialize. Rural students, recently shut in by Inclement weather, were wishing for something to do with their noon-hour. The school has all the facilities, so. let's see what can be done about it. Bob Cove and his orchestra played at Mar- shall a few nights ago. They rated tops over there and came home with two future engagements under their belts. The orchestra also played at Hastings. Nice going follows, you’re setting a good tempo! Personal nomination for a top-flight trumpeter, K. A. Anderson Also, Judging by the applause at a past assembly, the student body would like to see and hear more from the sax trio. And. when it comes to playing the piano. Dorain Hettmansper- ger can really make music with those Ivory keys. Have you noticed Ted Packard's increased popularity since the origination of those hay- rides? Punning seems to be declining. Bruce Garllng- house. Bob Ladd, and Dawn Quirk are either running out of material or else they can't tako punishment, (forgive it). Speaking of puns, one alert freshman was told by an upperclassman that It was raining cats and dogs . The freshie. not to be buffaloed, responded with the following quickie . 1 don't believe that It Is raining cats and dogs, but. I have heard of hailing taxi-cabs . With this, the so-called greenie calmly strolled ofT. Merry Christmas, and the best of New Year's greetings to all you fellow students. We’ll be seeing each other at the Christmas Mixer. If you don't care for this column. Just drop a few rotten eggs In my stocking Christmas eve! Pottawatomies If you see a couple boys raise their right hand in true Indian fashion nnd give a low savage grunt don’t become frightened because It isn't any scalp- ing party but Just a couple of Pottawatomie greet- ing each other. Perhaps you would like to know Just who the Pottawatomies are. Here’s the dope. There are seven members in the tribe, they are: Mr. VanYessem. head ugh. and six other ughs. Son Chandler. Bob Ladd. Bob Baker. Eldred Toutant. Don Lea. and Jack Mute. Jack is the only Junior member but tho club is thinking of expanding the membership to ten. An “Ugh Day is held every Wednesday during which all members give the tribal salute to each other. Their emblem is an Indian head burnt on wood and their mascot is a wooden dog called “Uggle8. , They havo somo competition in the funnel gang, but as Mr. VanVessem staled. We just con- sider who they are and ignore them. They are Just a bunch of Imitationists.” ORANGE A BLACK Page 3 Pearls of Wisdom From the Faculty Mr. Meud -More people become crooked trying to avoid hard work than become bent from too much of it. Mr. Koch—Scientist say plants make love like humun beings, but somehow we cant Imagine the poison ivy talking baby talk. Mr. Hynes—You don’t have to l e an accom- plished musician to play on your neighbor's nerves. Mr. Prindle—An excellent time to kill two birds with one stone would be during a saxophone duet. Mr. McCall—Publicity is easy to get. Just be so successful you dont need It and then you’ll get it. Mr. Brown—“Digging is a good hobby for a mtddle aged man , states a doctor, but why does he so often call It golf ?????? Mr. Oobel—Let him play with his mud pies and he’ll probably grow up and be a great halfback on a rainy Saturday. Mr. Dykhouse—Kducation pays unless you settle down to be an educator. Mr. Rolf—The schoolboy who wonders why he has to study decimal fractions gets his answer when figuring baseball percentages. Mr. Van Vessem--The two groups that seldom know Just what the people want are Congress and the people. Mr. Austin—An advertisement for a lecturer says “he speaks straight from the shoulder . Too had some of these talks can't originate a little higher up Mr. Anderson—Radio announcers are well paid and do not work for the love of mike. Mrs. Kiplinger— It may be u difficult matter for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven but it's certainly dead easy for him to get on the board of trustees of the church. Miss Wells—English will soon be the universal language, as it Is spoken almost everywhere now except In England and New York. Miss Johnson—A pair of owls came down the chimney Into the sitting room of her residence. We understand that they exasperated them by repeatedly saying, “to who” instead of “to whom . Miss Collins—Sports make a nation hardy. You build up a lot of resistance sitting on a cold step of concrete. Mrs. Wildern—The advantage in a good vo- cabulary is that you can discard the big word and select a simile you can spell. Miss Nelthorpe—Modern art Is now being faked, but there is no proof yet that the Take Is any I letter than the original. Miss Toms—With the servant problem the way it is. at least there Is no immediate danger of any broths being spoiled. Mrs. Johnson—One business man claims he has a perfectly noiseless typewriter. She doesn’t even chew gum. Mrs. Combs—The difference between a busi- ness man and a business woman is that the man looks for the latest wrinkle in his trade paper and the woman in her mirror. Entire School—Santa Claus is one wholesale distributor who doesn’t complain because of the lack of large orders Do You Know Do you know that our school paper, the Orange and Black, exchanges papers with seventeen dif- ferent high schools and colleges here in Michigan and out of the state. The one farthest away is Kansas City. Missouri. The name of their paper Is the Central Luminary.’’ We receive papers from five colleges, the Teachers College In Kalamazoo. Michigan State. Albion college. Michigan State normal and Alma college. Eleven different high schools in Michigan ex- change papers with us. The Roosevelt high school in Y phi Ian i i has a very clever name for their paper. It is the The Rough Rider.” carrying out the tradition of Theodore Roosevelt whom the school is named after. The paper Is small but has very Interesting material. The Lawrence Technical school in Highland Park. Michigan, also trades with us. Their paper Is a little larger than ours. St. Johns. St. Isolds. Iron Mountain. Bronson. Waldron. Petoskey. De- troit. Marshall. Dlmondale and Kalamazoo high are schools to which we send the Orange and Black, they in turn sending us their paper. For the past four years the Orange and Black has been rated bv the Quill and the N. S. P. Q. as a first class or excellent class B school paper. They Did Their Part We of C. H. S are much indebted to the recre- ation committee of Charlotte. One slide and three sets of sw ings were in- stituted on the Washington school playground, and six sets of swings at the Hawthorne. a slide at Oak park, and a giant stride at Bennett park. Besides these there are about ten sand boxes and numerous tetters and horse shoe courts located throughout the city. Duriug the summer months lmys and girls were given supervised recreation at the three grade school playgrounds and at Oak park. The two tennis courts in ('harlotte. up to the latter part of this summer, were hardly fit for use. The Catholic court was such that it could not be played on. The screen which Incompasses the court was minus half and the grass had grown up in blotches where smooth clay should have been. Those who played on the court at the I ansing road spent a good share of their time hunting for balls that had either gone under or through the w.rc netting. The recreation committee had two men work- Don’t Forget Santa Claus There seems to be quite a few busy children around Charlotte High School that haven’t found • ime to write to Santa Claus. I am sure they have i been good little boys and girls all the year and ire hoping that their rewards are not out of stock. If you see Santa riding over the house tops ;ome cold Icy morn, please tell him Bud Stockwell vants a new car because his girl lives so far rom his house that his legs are getting tired of lumping a bicycle .... Charles Hughes desires a cirl that will go for red hair . . . Bud Hammond vants an electric train with a whistle . . Rosemary Yelder prefers a teddy bear ... Jo Murray wants a doll that says Ma‘ and Pa” Sebert Willett is in ueed of a tuba on which he .nay reach the low notes . . . Mildred Ful- .erton wants a sack of candy kisses . . Gloria Beebe, not much. Just a baby grand iano . . . Peg Allen wants a ”I ouzzie’’ doll . . . Yanklin Loucks asks for more dates with Jo . . . Mike Mayhew desires a stocking filled with ideas m how to get along with his gal friends . . . We hope this Is not too much to ask. May every student of Charlotte high school have a most joyful Christmas vacation and may their stockings be over-filled with a successful New Year. New Years In Other Lands New Years, to most Americans, seems some- what of an anti-climax after Christmas Day. In many other countries, especially in the Orient, the coming of the New Years is even more important than Christmas is to us. There seems to be ulmost no limit to the variety of customs of the different nations, ob- serving the New Year. If you were in China you might think the Chinese were celebrating their holidays for the year all at once, for they close their shops for nearly a week and make merry with feasts and fireworks and the general exchange of presents and good wishes. In preparation for the festivities every debt must Ik paid, every house well cleaned, and each person furnished with suit- able clothes aud a supply of fruit preserves, candies, and ornamental packages of tea to give to his ing over a month on the two courts. They provided a new net for each court and saw to it that the white lines were kept in order. Within the last month the room over the fire barn has been converted Into a recreation room. Three ping pong tables have been installed, along with checkers and other games. Each night after school and supper finds from twenty-five to thirty- five boys that undoubtedly would not have a chance to enjoy such recreation if not for the consideration and thoughtfulness of the recreation committee, busily engaged in the wholesome fun. But they haven’t stopped here. This winter all who wish will be able to ice skate when weather permits. Under their direction a skating pond is being made east of the armory. Pipes are at the present being laid down to flood the ground. Lights will be put up so those who wish may skate at night. One hardly realizes that all these things have been done, but they are there for those who wish to enjoy these facilities Let us do our part to help in these achievements by participating in an order- ly and constructive manuor. Here and There friends. The Japanese New Year festival is even gayer. Regardless of their financial circumstances every- one provides himself with bright new clothes and takes three days off from work to visit his acquaint- ances or has them as guests. Streets are filled with smiling children playing games and everyone on the street whether strangers or friends are greeted with a smile nnd polite bow. The rest of the far eastern countries celebrate the New Year with overflowing festivals such as correspond to the celebration of Christmas in our own country. In some European countries, especially France and Scotland, this holiday is re- garded as more Important than Christmas. In France, grown-ups exchange gifts at the beginning of the New Year, at which time there are parties with much merry making. Scotland celebrates New Year’s Eve with a joyousness that is not surpassed. Observing an old time tradition, the native Scotchman carries cakes and ale to the houses of his friends which Is supposed to bring good luck to that house. Some cities have their own traditional celebra- tions as in l eningrad. Russia. The New Year is there ushered in by a one hundred shot cannon salute precisely at midnight. Wanted ! ! ! a student, who can find d form- ula for falling hair. Jacob VanVessem stated. I would be willing to pay any person $100 if they could produce a remedy, that would aid in restor- ing my lost hair.” Mr. Reinhardt— Bob. can you tell me what a hypocrite is?” B. Cuslelein: Yes sir It’s a boy who comes to school these days with a smile on his face. —The Fortnight. Hastings High. With our hopes of summer gone we again ap- proach the good old winter days of snow and blizzards. How about getting those sleds out. polish up the runners—and those skits, don’t forget to get them out. too. Possibly there is a broken strap, and those ice skates, you might need to have them sharpened up a bit. Have you heard about the girl in “Van’s 2nd hour civics class, who used up two-thirds of a pencil by turning the sharpener in the wrong di- rection? We betcha that Byron Stockwell is glad Audrey isn’t any shorter. R. Henry: I didn’t see you in church Sunday. Keith K. Clark: No. I presume not. I took up the collection. —The Fortnight. Hastings High. The pupil was asked to paraphrase the sentence He was bent on seeing her. He wrote. The sight of her doubled him.’ —The Centralia. Bay City. A wise old owl lived in an oak: The more he saw. the less he spoke The less he spoke, the more he heard. Why can’t we be like that old bird? —The Mountaineer.

During the fourth period both teams were pounding one another, and little scoring was done. At the end of the battle East Lansing was on lop of the heap by the score of 35 to 29. Both teams applied blocks and even tackles in one of the toughest and roughest games the Orioles have play- ed in the post four years.

Council to Start Work On Sale of Activity Tickets Semester Drive Benefits Students; Their Co-operation Expected Activity tickets for the second sem- ester will be sold for $1.25 by the members of the student council to the student body at the starting of the new semester. Tickets will admit the owner to home basketball games, five home baseball games, all the home track meets, and lyceum assemblies. Among the other events that are paid for by Activity tickets is the honor banquet. If a student is eligible to attend the banquet and does npt have his Activ- ity ticket he will have to pay a fee to attend. A person without a ticket will have to pay more to receive the Uharhian because It is partially paid for by the Activity ticket Part of the money gained by the sale of the Activity tickets goes to pay for the expenses of the student mixers and the Orange Black, which comes out twice a month. Last Monday, the third hour, a quo tlonnlre was circulated to everybody I In their home rooms On these the! students gave suggestions that could I be put Into practice to make the pre-! sent financial plan more effective for | the student body at large. Teachers Institute Something more for us to look for- ward to is in the making. Probably to he held In the month of February | sometime. The teachers’ institute . meeting will he attended by instruct- ors from numerous neighboring I schools. Being Charlotte high schools' j “turn to have the meeting, a well- chosen set of speakers is expected. Plans are not definite as yet. but tin- gathering under tho supervision of School Commissioner. Miss Cynthia Green, will be well worth the teach-1 ers’ time. Only a few towns are able to accommodate the teachers, some of which are Bellevue. Olivet. Char-1 lotto. Hastings. Eaton Rapids and I Kalamazoo. It Is understood that the meeting will last for one whole day I only. Examinations To Begin January 26 Thirty-four New Students To Enter Junior High With the semester ending January 27. exams will he January 26 and 27. Thirty-four Hawthorne and Grammar school 6 A students will trans- fer to the junior building for the second semester making a home room for Mrs. Weymouth. All those with necessary changes in their schedules should see Mr. McCall not later than January 21. Those with schedules complete for the entire year need not be altered. Those taking literature 12. the first semester will take either composition 12 or senior advance speech, the sec- ond semester. The first semester ad- vance speech course will continue with composition 12. Mrs. Kipllnger's fourth hour composition clnss will transfer to an advanced speech class conducted by Mr. Austin. Occupations will be held the first hour instead of the second as was done the first sem- ester. All students, who have com- pleted solid geometry, the first sem- ester will conclude the year with ad- vanced ulgebra. Commercial law students will continue with economics. There will he three new teachers from Michigan State college, who will teach home economics as practice teachers. Each teacher will teach for a period of six weeks. High School Christmas Decorations Win Prize Charlotte high school, upon its first year of entry into the Christmas light- ing contest, emerged with the grand prize as awarded by the civic com- mittee judges. Mayor Tullis was in charge of the decorations. The lights on each side of the front door of the high school were encased with red. two crimson spotlights be- ing arranged in the rooms directly over the door. Two of the evergreeu trees at the sides of the main door were covered with lights. Other winners in the contest were the Masonic Temple. Hayes-Green hospital. Dr. Geo. Wilson. Paul Bond. Genevieve Marple. Russell Parish I ayton Edwards. Jack Morgan. Bob Huber. Harold Carmon. Mr. Matzke. and Hamid Marsh The money received in this contest will be laid aside to be used for more extensive decorations next year. Charlotte To Exchange Assembly With Marshall Charlotte high is planning an ex- change assembly with Marshall high school on January 13. Charlotte goes to Marshall and their assembly will come here at a luter date. Marshall will contribute some home talent to the program they bring here, while Charlotte will feature the same there It is planned that the play, which wus presented at one of the home assemblies. They Just Won't Talk , directed by Rosemary Fielder will be presented. Frances Hlgby and Rosemary Fielder will also entertain the Marshall students with a duet Page 2 ORANGE BLACK mYTT) ORANGE BLACK Published Bi-weekly by the Journalism Class of Charlotte High School Quill and Scroll International First Place Award, '35.

McCall Reporters .—.....................Rest of Journalism class The Activity Ticket Deserves to be Supported Only 320 students purchased Activity tickets this semester. That means but one thing that a fraction over a half of the students are carrying the entire load. There are very few events in this school, that are not supported out of the funds gained by the role of the Activity ticket. All of the sports are practically paid for by this plan. It also sponsors the Honor banquet, the year- book. student mixers and the assemblies that are held in the local auditorium. If you were to pay the straight price for the events that are put on by the Activity tickets you would pay 26c for home basketball games of which there are 6. these alone amounting to $1.50. When all is totaled up it is twice as much as you pay for the Activity ticket. The purpose of this plan is to make the event sponsored by it cheaper to the student body. It also makes things possible that would not other- wise be. such as the Mixer, the Orange and Black. Chairhian and the Honor Banquet. If every person in Charlotte high school that was able paid $1.25 for an Activity Ticket he would be doing his share towards the sponsoring of these events. So why don't you co-operate and purchase your Activity ticket tbis coming semester? We Can Still Do Better Even though the conduct of students at home basket ball games is praise-worthy it still can be improved. One important fact that should be kept in mind by all students is that the other schools while in Charlotte are our gueets and we should see that they are treated in that respect. Their cheer leader should have the same op- portunity to lead their school in a yell that our leaders have. The booing of an official is one way to show him and our opponents that we are lacking iu good sportsmanship. So let’s prove to every team and official that we can be true sportsmen and play the game fair. Read This ! I! When looking around to find information for an editorial on home room activities, it was dis- covered that there were none to speak of except for an occasional discussion in which less than one half the students take part while the rest write notes and gossip. When the teachers were asked what they had done third hours on Monday this year, they all sighed, wearily, and replied. “We haven’t accomplished much at all.’’ By all means the teachers should not be blamed! Everyone knows that they try their utmost to make Monday home room periods successful but find little or no co-operation. This isn’t fair to them, nor to your- selves as this period is supposed to be used for studies. The program chairman of one particular home room stated. ‘‘All home rooms need more co- operation in order to produce better programs.” So.........let’s take this advice and use the period to a better advantage by co-operating with the home room instructor. Doctor. I’m scared to death. This will be my first operation. Sure. I know Just how you feel. You’re my first patient. —The Wilsonian. Personality Paragraphs Jack Mate, the witty and versatile junior with h broad smile and laughing blue eyes, was reclining iu a chair In his home room. With the help of Jane Peters the writer collected the material in the following paragraph. Jack has always lived in Charlotte and de- clared he is proud of the fact. He likes nearly ill sports, while baseball and hockey head the list. He has three letters, two in baseball and one In football. His new orange sweater Is his most cherished possession. When indoors he likes to play ping-pong and Chinese checkers. In the enter- tainment world. Matey prefers Kay Kyser for his music and Mickey Rooney in the line of favorite actors, followed by Ferdinand the Bull . This junior is a member of the “C” club and class vice president as well as being president of his home room. In case you ever want to find him, find Bob I add because Jack will be somewhere nearby. Personality Paragraphs After much manuverlng to get in contact with this amiable, twelve year old president of the seventh grade, it was finally possible to pin him down for a wee bit of a minute and find out some facts of his interesting life. Billy Watson has been on the student council for the past one and one-half years, plays a cornet in the junior band, and is an accomplished pianist. Some of Billy's activities are. being a member of the science club and airplane club as well as be- longing to the Boy Scouts and having a paper route nights after school. His favorite sport Is basketball and the dishes to which he is especially partial are escalloped potatoes and apple pie. One of his pet peeves is a poor sport. When the subject of girls was men- tioned. he smiled and remarked. Well. I never gave it much thought, but girls are O. K. He plans on becoming a lawyer after graduating but at the present time his favorite subject is arithmetic. As he seemed in a hurry to return to his class this brief hut entertaining Interview was brought to an end. Personality Paragraphs 1 don't have much spare time. was the answer Dorothy Snoke gave to the query. What do you like to do during your spare time? For Dorthy has been in the girls’ glee club for four years, the last two years as accompanist. In her junior year she served as president of tha organization. At present she is practicing wi h one of the club’s small groups, a trio, under the direction of Mrs. Frances Wildern. French is one of Miss Snake's preferred sub- jects but she giggled when questioned about chemistry, replying. I liked chemistry, It was fun. Throughout her entire high school career “Dot has been an active member of the ‘‘Footlighteers’’ so it is quite evident that she enjoys performing in plays. She aspires toward a musical career as an in- structor in public school music, and her residence for higher education would bo Michigan State college. She derives much enjoyment during summer vacation traveling around the state and has favorites of the out door sports swimming in summer, and Ice skating in the winter. Scholastically Dorothy is just about tops, and well do you wonder that she doesn’t seem to have hardly any spare time? Voice over telephone: Are you the game warden? Game Warden: Yes Ma’m. V’oice: Well, I’m so thankful I have the right person at last. Would you mind suggesting some games suitable for a children’s party? —Normal College News. We have everything on the menu today sir. the waitress said. So I see. How about a clean one? —Normal College News. Ode to Freshmen Don’t be discouraged If at first your successes are few. Just remember that the now great oak, Was once a nut like you. —Normal College News. Classroom 2) ties Editor’s note: This is the first in n series of columns to appear iu the Orange and Black written by the newly created Cub Reporter Staff. If any students or teachers know of any happenings m connection with the classroom during the coming weeks which they think should be in this column, it will be sincerely appreciated if they will tell the class reporter about it. The seventh grade literature class for a previous lesson wrote poems. The class selected this one. written by Carroll Phillips as the best. Some kids like school, but I can't see how they get that way. You read and write and study, and work through half the day. If I were a school teacher. I’d give the kids a break, I'd give them two hours of recess and a dish of ice cream and cake. I'd have a two hour swimming class and a time for playing ball. And anything like studying I wouldn't have at all.— (Reporter. D. Smith) Government news reports were given Friday In the eighth grade history class.—Dave Shaull gave a talk on his trip to New Orleans over vaca- tion. He told of the docks on the Mississippi river and of the French quarters.—Mrs. Frances Wildern, English teacher, also went to New Orleans over vacation.—The eighth grade A class elected a new’ student council representative. Paul Hall.— (Reporter. D. Shaull.) Here are some queer middle names in the ninth grade: Dale Edison Bartholmew, Durwood Delos Root, and Lyndon Yalce Cole. It sometimes seems queer the reactions that the students take when something comes up. For instance. Mr. Anderson ask'-d his class what heat was. The next day Byron Walters contributed the correct answer. When asked where he received his information he replied, “from Mr. Koch . This brought many laughs from the students for a reason beyond me.—(Reporter. W. Terwllllgen As we take our Journey through the sophomore class we find many interesting facts and questions about our students. We find several who enjoy first year typing, but some who take it so hard that they are a nervous wreck after a speed test. Does Mr. Anderson ever get discouraged with his home room, or is it his pride and Joy? Drop around and see the home room sometime, then you will know .— (Reporter, V. Paddock) Up and Don n the Hall Did all you lads and lasses have a Merry Christmas? Ye scribbler did. There were no rotten eggs in my stocking, so this column appears again. If you don’t like it this time, cheer up. It won't be in the next issue. Some past columnist in this paper wondered what Van’s classes would argue about jgfter election. Political arguments still originate oc- casionally but socialized medicine and chain store selfishness is grabbing the spotlight. Once in awhile, some enthusiastic member of our debating squad will roam off on a tangent until he has started an argument. While the class is deciding whether or not the United States should form un alliance with Great Britain, the debate fiend has gathered lots of material. Parky easily plunges the first hour class into a debate on this subject, and while arguing pro and con, calmly gathers material for use in a future interscholastic debate. Ye scribbler likes to argue (when his side Is winning), therefore. I am definitely in favor of debates. . ney are very informative. Why are some of the fellows down on blind dates? Bud Beechler might shed a little light on the subject. It seems that two Scotlanders were cutting wood. The first Scot pulled a pair of false teeth out of his pocket and, the second Scot asked him. “I say. Sandy, who belong to those false teeth?” Well, replies Sandy, my wife does, I brought them along because I had a suspicion that she was eating between meals! We are definitely in favor of more sliding parties out at McPeek’s.—Cheerio. ORANGE A BLACK Page 3 Trojans Better Orioles 28-27 SORE WRIST STOPS TULLIS FROM ENTERING GAME I-asl Tuesday night the Oriole eag- er battled the Hast lousing Trojans. In their second and last meeting of the season, on the home floor, to a 28-27 victory for the Trojans. The starting lineup for Charlotte was somewhat changed, for Max Tullls. the left guard for the Orioles was out with a sore wrist. A reserve Jim Spanollo fought in his place. The game started out all for East I rinsing, for In the first quarter the J Trojans piled up eight points to the , Orioles two. and with Fabian and Mead leading the attack, they started ' what seemed to be a one sided game. In the second quarter the Orioles were unable to cope with the passing and shooting attack of the Trojans and the half ended 17-7 for East Lan- sing After the rest period the Orioles returned respirlted. but were unable to stop their opponents attack and al- J though they scored nine points to ' East Lansing's eight, they were un- able to catch up. and the quarter end- ed 16-25. still for the Trojans. The fourth quarter was filled with the most action of the game, for the Orioles realizing it was their last chance started rushing their oppon- ents. This caused Chandler to have a fourth foul called on him and he was forced to leave the game, followed by I«ndd and Raker, who also went out on fouls. This allowed Clarence Squibb. Jack Mate, and John Wellman, to play. The Trojans also had some bad luck at this time, for Mead, their right guard, was also called out on fouls During the last quarter, the Orioles were on the offensive most of the time, and in the last few minutes of play, the score was very close. Char- lotte's rushing attack gained them the hall much of the time and they were able to chalk up eleven points to East l-ansing's three, but this was not enough to win and the game ended 28- 27 in favor of the Trojans. Kldred Toutant was high point man for the Orioles, w’ith ten points, and Fabian scored the most for the Tro- jans. making eleven points. K. L. H. S. C. H. 8.

Oriole leathers Some of Charlotte high’s past stars were home for over Christmas vaca- tion from their Alma Maters. Don Smith. George Collins. Bob Munger of Alma. Ed. Morey. Milton Briggs. Bill Cheney of Michigan State, and Gail Cheney of Michigan. All of these fellows took big parts In Charlotte's four major sports, football, basket- ball. baseball, and track. Beat Mason ■‘Chuck’’ Everts was home on leave from the navy the week before school let out for Christmas vacation, and made his ever interesting speeches in both civics and drawing classes. ’'Chuck ' played guard in football for Charlotte high in 1934. 35. and 36. He was outstanding at this position and was one of the best guards C. H. S. has ever had. Beat Mason We have another outstanding athlete at the University of Michigan Gall Cheney is really setting the pace there in freshmen track. The Mich- igan Daily rated Gail as one of the best freshmen runners at the Univer- sity. They always have outstanding freshmen in track, and Gail Is at the top of the list. In his senior year at C.

Beat Mason The second team has won all of their games so far this season and the main reasons to most know-it- alls are that they have taller players than the other schools, and a few short fellows that are very good on this fancy shooting. The tall boys that feed the ball to the short ones are Kenny Bruce. Lyle Kane, and Clar- ence Squibb. The shorties are Homer Braden. Raymond Snyder. Lynn Fow ler. and Jack Mate. Any of these fellows might break Into the first tcum squad most any time. Beat Mason Basketball season is getting well under way and C. H S. has some real hard games coming up soon, and one of these games is with Mason, here in our gym tomorrow night.

McCall Reporters ...............Rest of Journalism class Keep It Up! The conduct of the students at the last few games has been much improved over that of previous games. No booing was heard and good sportsmanship was shown throughout the entire game. Each of us knows the proper way to act at scholastic contests, but when we hear others jeer it is hard for us to refrain from doing it too. But at all the recent home games Charlotte students have set a standard of good sportsmanship that they should be proud to maintain. Keep up the good work and show the towns- people who support our activities, and everyone that we are really courteous. Are You Ambitious? In case it has slipped the minds of seniors of C. H. S.. there are a number of scholarships avail- able to those who can qualify. These awards are for many different accomplishments during your career in school. Scholarships are for such things as scholastic attainment, outstanding leadership, outstanding work in a certain subject or type of work, and then certain groups such as sons or daughters of foreign war veterans. The Uni- versity of Michigan has a few scholarships and Michigan State college likewise, Albion's scholarships number thirty-six Alma. Olivet. Uni- versity of Detroit and Wayne also give scholarships. If you will notice the bulletin board in the office you will see scholarships for 30 students for Cornell’s engineering school with each scholarship valued at $1,600 for the complete four years. De- Paw offers 100 four year scholarships worth $1,000 each. Swarthmore college awards five competitive scholarships worth $500 a year. Goucher college has seven regional scholarships available. So-oo- oo-oo-o-o-o-o if you boys and girls will work real hard you stand a fairly good chance of being rewarded. Conduct In Assemblies For some strange reason a few students seem to think it necessary to stomp their feet, whistle and do everything but applaud moderately in the asesmblies of late. We have failed to learn the correct way of showing appreciation! We should applaud for a short period of time and then quiet down. When President Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg address he received not a single hand clap and appreciated it more than If his audience had gone to extremes. Honest appreciation Is never shown in long drawn out noise making and not how you applaud or how much but the attitude in which you do it. Meet Ish-Kci'Bibble This is a new member of our C. H. S. team. He is streamlined with orange and black trim- mings. also has rubber wheels and three of them. This new creation is a cart used to carry rosin and towels to the players. Its creators are Don Lee and Bob Sparks. They obtained their idea from Alma college when they played over at Olivet. So far it has been good luck to the team and has made several trips on the floor. Up and Down the Hall —If ye students will watch closely ye will notice, that ihere is a decided difference between those persons, who attend a late dance, and those who stay home, by noticing faces and empty seats the following morn. —Have you noticed the band pictures in the trophy case? —Via the Home Kcounmlcs display is a helpful and interesting one. —It seems that the Hi-Y pin of •’Susie” Fielder’s has caused quite a commotion In the library of learning. She just won’t talk. —Where did Mr. McCall get all of the wise and thoughtful mottos, that appear on the bulletin board every morn? —The floor and finishings are beginning to look as bad as they did before vacation. —It’s a great bell system we have here in school, here's hoping they get them under control. —We hope the new commercial teacher decides to to stay longer than the last few. —What will Van” do to get his gavels, when thi3 batch is gone? —Incidentally, what will Mr. Hynes do for new batons when Curly Goodrich graduates? Sultan Pepper —-For some reason there was a special delivery in Van’s” room the other day. a note exchanged hands very quickly, until at last it was In the teacher’s possession, (even though it wasn’t meant to be), and lo and behold if the teacher wasn’t kind enough to read it to the whole class! I’ll bet someone was embarrassed. —Say fellow scholars if you want to find out something don't eavesdrop, but just keep quiet and keep your ears open, because every once in a while someone forgets himself and let’s something slide out. For instance: —When for some certain reason Stanley Rogers and Wayne Waggoner wanted permission from Mr. VanVessem to go down to the Home Economics room. —When Max Tullis replied that he was. certainly going to take typing next semester. —When Mr. VanVessem stated that he had to grow more hair (before next semester.) What is all the attraction? I wonder. You see it pays not to lot your tongue slip, as there is always one of those snooping reporters listening. THEY NEVER FAIL. C. H.S.

When asked about his favorite food he replied, pie of any kind. “Mayor’s ambition is to become a coach. His excellent records in the athletic field con- vince us that he has the ability for this field. Freshman After waiting in the junior high study hall for several minutes, this freshman girl came in the door to keep her appointment. She willingly gave some facts about her life. Dorain Hettmansperger has always lived in Michigan. Although she has moved twice she is now living just south of Charlotte. When asked what her favorite food is. she replied. ’’Meat sandwiches, preferably haiuburgs and dill pickles. Swimming is her choice sport, as well as her hobby. She is a member of the junior dramatic club. Dorain's cherished possessions are her diary and piano. It is easy to see why she would cherish the latter, as she Is quite an artist when it comes lo piano playing. She states that she does not prefer any par- ticular type of entertainment, as site enjoys all kinds. Latin is her favorite subject. Her ambition is to become a lawyer; looking at her report card one can see that she will be very well fitted for this kind of work.

Home Room 302 Learns About Law Profession Monday morning January 23, the seniors of Mrs. Kiplinger’s home room were entertained by Stanley Kaidle. one of Charlotte's prominent lawyers, who gave an informal talk to the group. This was the second business man to talk to this group. The first being Dr. B. P. Brown. Mr. Raidle's talk centered around law. as did Dr. Brown's a week ago. The work of law as a career is Just like any other kind of work to get Into, stated Mr. Raidle. IU a hard struggle for the first few years. The question also came un about this field being crowd- ed. but his reply was as manv others have stated, if you are good enough there Is always room for you . Mr. Raidle also mentioned the fact that women also take up this voca- tion. and are very successful. The way to determine whether you would make a lawyer or not he stated was to ask yourself these nueations. do you like to study, do vou enjoy research work, are you to be trusted not to talk, have you abil- ity to listen and take Interest, and tn vou remember? if you haven’t •nv of these qualities you probably would not get far as a lawyer. There are other people that take law be- sides lawyers—to be, such as insur- ance men. politicians, and people that are all the time being confronted with legal problems. He had a far-ofT look in his eye. And a really conscious air— A lover or poet, you might surmise. With that very curious stare. But. as he passed the conductor by. He relinquished that look of care. He was merely trying to seem as If He'd already paid hie fare. $$$$$$ % w IT PAYS TO Buy An Activity Ticket SO HURRY AND BUY YOURS NOW Only $1.25 a Semester Look How It Will Benefit You-- 4 Home Basketball Games 6 Home Baseball Games 7 Orange Blacks 4 Lyceum Numbers and Specials Honor Banquet and Charhian You Save Over $3.00 BUY NOW AND SAVE V $$$$$$$$$$$$$ ? $$$$$$$$$$$$ Page 4 ORANGE BLACK Huge Doors Form Fire Barrier No doubt many of the student body in Charlotte high, who have tugged and hauled on those great doors that separate the two buildings have wondered Just why those heavy gates were hung there Instead of light, modern ones of a more beautiful de- sign.

Food For Thought There was a raw youth named Jake, who was known in a small village as the town fool. When visitors came to the village, it was the custom to demonstrate Jake’s simplicity by sending him on some trifling errand and then offer- ing him his choice of two coins, nickel and a dime. Jake would always take the larger thus entertained, thought that he coin. One day a visitor, who had been would delve into the simple and un- cultivated brain of Jake. So he fol- lowed him after the performance and said to him: “Jake, don’t you know that the little coin is worth twice as much as Then, why.” asked the analyzer of the big oner Sure.

He gave various interesting points on medicine as a profession, which was very interesting to those preparing for a medical career.

McCall Reporters .............Rest of Journalism class Our Study Plan In the spring of 1936. when the new school building was completed, a new and different system was initiated into the routine of Charlotte high school activity. Up until this time, there had been eight regular class periods each day. The entire period consisted largely of class recitation, providing little or no time for study, thus, out- side assignments were lengthy. With the new system, the day would have six class periods and one short home room period. Part of the hour would be used for oral work, and the other part for study. This enabled the faculty to make shorter assignments. Because this plan had been successful in other schools It was introduced here. Each teacher may use a different method, but supervised study is used in every class room both In the junior and senior high. This plan is beneficial to every student attend- ing C. H. S. and those who brought it to us. are to be highly praised. Do You Know Your Shop Did you know that there is enough power in our shops to lift 720.000 pounds one foot high in one minute? Our shop instructor gave out some very interesting information about our shop. Earl Mead, stated that our shop is one of the best equipped in the state of Michigan. It has over $3,000 worth of power and hand tools. The shaper in the woodshop travels at a rate of 35,000 revolu- tions per minute. The shaper is the fastest machine around Charlotte. The whole shop has accommodat ions for fifty persons all working at the same time. Since 1925, our shop equipment has grown from a small jointer and a few hand tools to a twenty- two power driven machine and numerous hand tool sets. The shop has a lumber room capable of housing many thousands of feet of lumber, a project room for storing projects when they are not being worked on. a tool room for keeping hand tools, an office for the instructor, a stock room, and in the rear is a finishing and drying room. Some of the projects that have been made in the shop range from candlestick holders, turned out on the lathes to modem desk sets requiring a special treatment from every machine in the shop. The floor is a combination of cement and end grain wood. The end grain wood floor has the advantage of wearing longer and it also does not damage objects dropped on the floor. There are fifteen machines in the wood shop and seven in the machine shop. The machine shop under the supervision of Joseph Noggle. is equipped for the construction of any kind of metal work. Numerous tools may be made on the metal turning lathe. The machine shop is fitted with two large forges so that foundry work may be done. In the rear of the machine shop are two large sliding doors so autos, or large objects may be brought into the shop. Both shops use the number system for the care of the hand tools. Each student of the class is given a number and when he wishes to use some tools from the tool room, he puts a tag with his number on It in the place of the tool which he takes out. and the tag remains there until the tool is returned. Elwin Sterling, from Northwestern University, and Barbara Hamilton of Wayne University, both of class of '38, were visiting at home in Charlotte last week. Sultan Pepper To all you gals who are now wearing your lovely tresses piled high on the top of your head, here’s a tip—long bobs are coming back in style. Now that Scarlet O’Hara has definitely been cast, what are all ye would-be actresses going to strive for? Wonder what Van’s classes will find to dis- cuss (sounds more like arguing) when the ques- tion of supervised study has been settled. Of course, we wouldn’t know what all the at- traction is in the typing room after school, but maybe, Donald Jack Fields could Inform you. It certainly wouldu’t hurt to ask. Didn’t you wish that Congress could have passed a bill providing a way to be as fresh as a daisy the morning after the President’s Ball?

Men's Choice The old saying Gentlemen prefer blondes. apparently does not hold true In Charlotte high school. After several brief Interviews with junior and senior boys, we find that brunettes are fav- ored over blondes. Blue and brown eyes are the favorites, the blue winning by a slight margin over the brow’n8. Extreme hair styles do not seem to click with the masculine sex. The up-style does not go at all. but the page-boy bob isn’t bad in their opinion. Most of them stated that they do not like make-up. but the others replied that they like a little. Girls, don’t let this survey bother you if you're a blonde with green eyes, for this was Just a small section of the school and others might feel dif- ferent on the subject.

An assembly of this type is enjoyed by the entire faculty and student body. It gives us an oportunity to see what other schools are doing in the way of entertainment. Also it contributes ideas for our assemblies. If some special art wos outstanding, maybe we could work out something similar. Not only does it furnish us with possibilities for coming assemblies, but it develops school spirit between schools. It takes away the hostility and introduces a feeling of good will. More power to our assembly committee, so they may produce more exchange assemblies. Glances at Life Have you noticed the secret conferences of the Journalism students.

The second quarter began with the Islanders rushing the Charlotte quin- tet. but the local lads chalked up twelve points to Eaton Rapids four, and the half ended. 17-9 in favor of Charlotte.

Baton Rapids started a crushing offensive which the Orioles seemed unable to slop, and they scored nine points to Charlotte's three, bringing the invaders to within two points of the home team, and the quarter ended. 18-20. still for Char- lotte. The fourth quarter opened, with both teams realizing it was. “do or die.” With but two points between them a mad scramble for the hall followed, and the period became in- creasingly rough. At the official’s time out midway the quarter it was still either team's game, for each side had made but two points and the score stood 22-20. But in the last four minutes of play the Orioles made six points to the Islanders two and the game ended. 28-24. in Charlotte's favor.

Journalists To Sponsor Annual Show March 24 Students To Elect Queen; Midway Features Side Shows, Dancing Main Show Opens At 9:30 Come one. come all. not to the firemen’s hall but to the greatest carnival ever presented for any stu- dent body. Every one loves a carnival, the mystic odes of the fortune tellers, and hearty yielding of voices from the barkers. So get on your horses boys and bring your best girl, or Just any old girl, and girls if they won’t bring you come anyway!! Due to the size of the journalism class this year the midway of the car- nival is to be increased to an enor- mous size. Many of the side shows have never been shown to the public before and never will be again. Everything from a ferocious war dance by the Pottowatomies, a fea- tured side show for the evening, to the crowning of a gracious queen to reign over the occasion and the re- mainder of the school year will take place. Coronation of Queen The time has come for the girls to haul out their powder puffs, ac- quire a Colgate smile, and spruce up on personality. Choosing the queen will be done by ballot in the same fashion as last year, with a queen be- ing chosen from each class Mr. Dyk- house is to officiate at the coronation of the honored queens, who will reign over the carnival and the school. Their royal highness will be selected for the most outstanding personality and character. The ballot on the feature page will give you opportunity to vote for your class queen, and when you purchase tickets at the carnival you may cast your vote for the queen of the school. Sideshows will he opened at seven o’clock and will run until the main show starts at nine-thirty. There will be plenty to do and never a dull moment, so idlers will undoubtably be taken before the judge to be fined. Evening Features Side Shows As you walk into the interior of the big tent on carnival night you will be met by ticket salesmen. Fisher and Carmen, who will sell you your roll of tickets at six for twenty-five cents to last you throughout the eve- ning. Going on down the midway amid harking and clatter you are sud- denly confronted by- Good heavens, of all things, an honest to goodness Indian with all the earmarks of Pot- towatomie Baker or Chandler. If you fork over a ticket and go inside room 111 you will declare that you have never seen such carrying on in your life.

The first Delphian was little more than a pamphlet but today we have a fine l ook of memories. The Charhian has those much loved seniors in black and white, and each and everyone has a marker of those good old days in his picture. In years to come it will be a lasting memory of School Days. As we gather around and peep into the past with our Charhian we will have an everlasting enjoyment. Everyone should buy a Charhian and share the laughs. Those fond memories will far more than pay for the cost of a Charhian. Our Team This year the Charlotte Orioles have really made husketball history that won't be forgotten for some time. They have thus far gained the title of District Champions which means they are tne best in this district of class B schools. And that is a title to be proud of! Out of the 14 scheduled games of the season, the quintet has won 12—losing 2 games to East Lansing. Winning the tournament games with Eaton Rapids and Lakeview brought the total victories to 14. Our co-operation cannot be too great in sup- porting these outstanding players. So. let’s show them that we are proud of them by sticking behind them and drop a few words of encouragenment and praise once in a while. Qlances At Life Raymond Snyder apparently set his compass wrong. He is seen going the wrong way quite often lately. Maybe he has a reason. Ask him? A flash from Spain explains Carl Rochester’s grudge agaist Ferdinand. It seems Ferdinand doesn't have a sister. Some of C. H. S.’s musicians Journeyed to Grand Rapids to see Tommy Dorsey and returned with some fine autographs and pictures. Just a few more weeks and the dignified seniors will be gone. The lower classmen should recall the things we are ready to leave them and lie sorry to have us leave. Reports from Carl Rochester says that Star Dust has become mud. It rained on the dust. Jim Spaniolo. that quiet Junior lad. is a base- ball bug. He has a miniature Hall of Fame for his stars. His favorite is Johnny Rizzo and he balked when Bob Baker was suggested. At last the thing we have been waiting for is about to come. The Pottowatomies have consented to give a war dance at the carnival. But where are the Minnies. Old C. H. S. has gone so far as to worship money. When Bob Baker's magic pennies dis- appeared a crisis came that threatened disaster. Coach and his helpers located the precious coppers in the far comer of Baker’s locker. Everyone is happy once more. SEE YOU AT THE CARNIVAL. WOO! WOO! All fooling aside, those freshmen of ours take plenty of kidding good-naturedly nowadays. They really do deserve a lot of credit too, because there are some clever kids coming up. Spoopy Snoops Roving about the halls, trying to gather a little information for ye olde inquiring reporter, and also trying to sell a few Charhians. yours truly gathered the following taaterial about favorite types of assemblies. Carl Paine, our versatile drum major, favors home talent assemblies with Cove’s orchestra be- ing a part of the program. Bob Cox. with that mischievous look in his eye, said that he prefers home talent assemblies such as Hollywood Hotel put on by last year’s senior class. Phil Sherman definitely asserted that exchange assemblies rate tops with him. (The girls from Marshall couldn’t have anything to do with your attachment to exchange assemblies, could they Phil?) Maynard Davidson looked up from his civics book long enough to declare that home talent assemblies with lots of plays are the l est. Mr. Hynes informed me that the band was going to Holland again this year before saying that he. too. prefers lots of home talent in any assembly. He also likes to see C. H. S.’s Gables. Powers, and Lombards. Another enthusiastic supporter of exchange assemblies is Boh Baker, a forward on the Oriole top notch cage Hquad. Just before the big game at Albion, he said. I like exchange assemblies with lots of music”. It looks as though C. H. S. is home-talent con- scious as well as musically inclined. Take heed, madaine assembly chairman! Up and Down the Halls During the past week were you stopped by a fair-haired damsel, when you were eagerly ap- proaching your destination? Did she inquire if you had purchased a 1939 Charhian? I'm sure she did. But the toughest part came w’hen you told her that you had purchased it from a boy. The reason for her uttering a disappointed oh was that a contest is on between the boys and the girls of the Charhian staff. The losers have to banquet the winners! Congratulations and feliciations are surely in line for our imsketball quintet. They’ve made a line showing this season for their alma mater. Casinova Baker will have to change his name to Blonde Bomber if those big kids from the other basketball teams don't quit picking on him. What he really needs is a body guard to protect him not only from the pugilists hut from the girls as well. A certain blonde keeps tab on him very well in civics class so maybe s .e will consent to take the job. Quite a few of our Jacks and Jills took advantage of Mr. Beechler's offer of attending The Citadel” by presenting his coupon which occurred In the last issue of the Orange and Black and the required ten cents for admission. The weather man tells me that spring is just around the corner. It doesn’t pay to throw paper wads in the study hall. If you don't believe me—try it sometime when you haven't anything else to do. Well so long kiddies. I will see you at the carnival, it’s going to be bigger and better than ever this year. Don’t forget It.

Bob kept them and on suggestion placed the two pennies in his shoes to please fickle I«ady Luck. Since then the Charlotte cagers have gone unde- feated. Bob Joyfully said. It has worked so far. I hope it continues to. Bob almost lost one when it fell out of his shoe into his gym locker. Coach Gobel gave him his assistance and discovered it, and back into the shoe it went. When ever a penny falls out of his shoe he promptly flips It up and catches it in his shoe. Coach had Bob' Baker and “Sonny Chandler accompany him to Albion to make the Regional Tournament drawing. The charm did Its stuff once more. They drew East Iainsing out of the hat, exactly the team that Malcolm Gobel and his basketball squad wished to play to avenge two defeats earlier In the sea- son at the hands of the Trojans. While the face value is two ceuts the pennies have been in- valuable as a luck charm to the fighting Orioles. Even when he goes to bed he makes sure the coppers are in hiH shoes. When he finds the pennies heads up the Orioles have more than their share of the breaks. We Draw Your Attention To— - - - - The fact thnt the Orange Black Is a worthy asset to our school. This paper is an outstanding feature of the school and it is lauded In many parts of the state. But perhaps you don’t know of the things that made It that way. It seems that the Journalism class thought some of the pages appeared too unbroken and dull, so from an illustrious member of the class a favor was asked. Quite calmly. Mr. McCall, our principal and O. B. adviser, asked K. A. Anderson if he would grace the pages of this bi-monthly with cartoons. Andy granted the favor and has been doing so ever since. We don't realize how fortunate we are to have a school paper in which drawings and compositions are done entirely by the students. This show’s a whole-hearted interest on the part of our valuable artist and composer. K. A., and ail the other pupils connected with the paper. To K. A., then, this co-operative senior and clever artist, the staff of the Orange Black extend their hearty thnnks. We hope to keep your able pen w et.

Nothing But The Truth”, by the Charlotte high school class of 1939 is a heralded event, anxiously await ed by the masses. Suggestions have been made that till after March 31. this select group of students and teachers refrain from such strenuous activities as jay walking, basketball, and automobile riding, so that the scheduled performance of this play. “Nothing But The Truth , to be given on March 31. will be as It has been predicted, an outstanding success.

When asked what the value of the contest is. Mr. Austin, the speech coach, stated. Probably the true value of the speech contest lies in the fact that all speech students have a chance with outside competition and also they feel as though they had actually accomplished something along th« line of public speaking, if they are entered in u sub-district or district contest. One hour before the contest begins the exclamatory speakers will draw four particular news topics. Each may choose one of the four upon which either he or she will speak for five minutes, having the hour to pre- pare themselves. Because there is no limit to the topics the exclamatory speakers may draw, they have to be familiar with any numl er of news hap- penings in order to talk on the one drawn The declamation speakers will give speeches, which they have memortz ed. thus they will face the task of adopting the language someone else has written.

THURSDAY. MARCH 30. 1939 ISSUE 11 Leading Players ♦ ROSEMARY FIELOER ELDREO TOUTANT Michigan State Tries Out Golf Etiquette New Training Methods Practiced By Pro’s Charlotte High School Is Used As One of Experimental Centers Five students from Michigan State j college have been doing practice1 teaching in the home economics de- partment of the high school. Three student teachers. Miss Dor- othy Darling. Miss Rosena Ardwin. and Miss Mildred Nelson, were here for a period of six weeks. Two more. Miss Victory Kobe and Miss Dorothy DaLee. took their places. These girls taught the home economic classes as regular teachers, and also participat- ed in outside activities, acted as ad- visers for clubs, and attended assem- blies and basketball games as regular faculty members. This is the first year that such an experiment has been tried by Mich- igan State college. In previous years, the students have gone back and forth from the college to the teaching center. Under the new plan, the teachers live In the community for the entire practice teaching period. School authorities say that this plan has proved very successful for it gives the student teachers a better conception of the school life and pro- blems. Journalism Students to Enter Writers' Contest Sometime in the very near future a group of picked journalism stu- dents will journey to Chicago to par- ticipate in the journalism contest held at the Northwestern university. The students will travel In cars and will attend the social events sponsor- ed by the university besides partici- pating in the contests, which include nage make up by each student, copy reading, reporting a story and many other events, which go with the work of a Journalist. They will attend the activities of the campus such as swimming event and maybe a ball game or so. This year as usual the high school will have excess use of the golf course through arrangements made by the school authorities. Though most of the students play golf, they seem to ignore the rules of golf niquette. Through reading up on sug- gestions made by the 400 of this popular game, ye scribbler learned a few suggestions which are being passed on to the dear readers of this sheet. No one should move, talk or stand close or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is making a stroke. The player who has the honor should be allowed to play before his opponent tees his ball. No player should play until the party in front are well out of range. When the re- sult of a hole has been determined, players should leave immediately the putting green. Players, while looking for a lost ball should allow other matches coming up to pass them; they should signal to the players following them to pass. A player should see thut any turf cut or dis- placed by him at once be replaced and pressed down. Players should at once carefully fill up all holes made in a bunker. A player who has in- curred a penalty should intimate the fact to his opponents as soon as possible. Players at all times should olay without undue delay. These rules should become a part of your game and ought to be ob- served at all times, especially the one about letting the party get out of range before shooting. Never underestimate your driving ability. Many players have been hit by play- ers who didn't think -they could drive a ball that far. Also be especially careful about ruffing the greens or digging up the turf on the fairways because the up- keep of these is enough without caus- ing undue damage by being careless. Betty Heimbach (38) is employed at the Republican-Tribune as lino- type operator. Seniors Sponsor First Class Play Friday Night Rosemary Fielder and Eldred Toutant Take Leading Roles “Nothing But The Truth The graduating class of 39 is sponsoring the first senior play in the history of Charlotte high, at the high school auditorium. Friday. March 31 at 8:15 p. m. An extreme comedy was chosen to be presented entitled. Nothing But The Truth . Mr. Mead states. It is the best comedy he has ever seen produced at Charlotte.

M Ralston, and Clarence Van- Dusen. that he can tell the truth for twenty-four hours, from this time on the play develops into a hilarious comedy.

Easter is recog- nized as the day of Resurrection. This day is set aside for the remembrance of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who arose on Easter morning. Thouands of years ago. Judas, a disc pie of Jesus, betrayed him and ordered his multitudes to kill Him. They led Him away to the house of Caraphas where ihey decided his fate, which was crucifiction. After Judas had realized what he had done he brought 30 pieces of silver info the sanctuary, and hung himself. The soldiers of the governor took Jesus into Praetorium, where they stripped Him. putting on Him a scarlet robe, a crown of thorns upon his head, and a reed in his hand; then they mocked Him. When they had finished torchering Jesus they put his clothes on Him and he was then placed on a cross on a large hill between two robbers. Jesus Christ was cruci- fied on a Friday, now known to everyone as Good Friday. Joseph., also a disciple of Jesus, was granted the body of Jesus by Pilate. Joseph wrapped Jesus in a clean linen cloth and laid Him in his own tomb. Before Jesus died he told the people he would arise on the third day. They blocked the door of the Sepulcher so no one could enter and so Jesus could not get out. but on Sunday morning, which is now known to us as Easter Sunday. Jesus arose. Have we ever stopped to think what Easter really means? How much it must have meant to the people in Christ's time. I am sure very few of us have, although Easter is put aside in memory of the crucifiction of our Lord, many people use that sacred day to celebrate it in some other way. When Easter Sunday arrives let us remember the story of Jesns Christ’s cruclflcticn and regard it as sacred. Baseball How many of you C. H. S. fans have been behind the teams and really pushed for our colors? I am in the opinion that very few have done 111 ir part in this respect. How many of you have ever been on our baseball field? Now that this season is coming up all of you fans should get acquainted with our local field It Is said; In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. just substitute bast-hall for love and stick to that saying, get out there and yell as loud as you can and it will turn out to be a successful baseball year.

If you will listen to the great swing bunds play the hits of the day, you will see the most popular songs are getting away from the loud “jazz” type. As proof of this you find Deep Purple” and other similar hits in favor of the musical public. Before we were married you used to call me Angel. “I remember.

He has played foobhall for three years aud has been a member of the interclass basketball teams, in Don’s opinion. Robert I«ad l Is the best athlete in Charlotte high school, while Murray Chandler shows the best sportsmanship. He considers Henry Ford the greatest American of today. On the subject of girls. Don stated. They’re all right—I like ’em.’’ Don’s ambition is to be a football coach and a teacher of vocational woodwork. As time neared for the bell to ring this ambit- ious elghteen-year-old disclosed that his favorite foods were; cherry pie. cherry sundaes, and escalloped potatoes; favorite pastime, listening to famous orchestras on the radio and going to the movies; and his pet aversion is washing dishes. When asked for an Interview, this certain sen- ior. said abruptly. “No”, but after a little per suasion, she burst forth with. I don’t llko spinach or cottage cheese. My favorite dish is hot fudge sundaes. And I am seventeen years old. I like all kinds of music especially “swing and I love to dance. The sport I enjoy most? Oh! football, of course (I wonder why). She prefers being call- ed Jane but you prolmhly know her by Mildred. The unfinished statement. My favorite pastime is —well— , ended the Interview. Guess who?

ORANGE A BLACK P«f« 1 Orange-Black Staff Rush Pap er Th - initial effort that is made to publish the Orange Black is to write the axsignments In the assign- ment book. The reporter are the1 students In the journalism class that ( ■re not on the Orange A Black staff. J The staff of officers on the publica- tion are the publisher, who has charge of all the paper except the ad- vertising and feature page. He places the stories on the pages according to their Importance. He Is assisted by the managing editor. The editor in chief hus complete charge of the feature page and makes the assign meat to the feature writers. The bus- iness manager collects, receives the money from the advertisements and hns charge of the financial part of the paper. The advertising manager has his assistant collect advertise- ments from the various firms and businesses. After the assignments have been checked off by the student reporters, they obtain the necessary f- cU • lid proceed to write their stories The reporter hands the story either to the publisher, managing editor, or the editor-in-chief (depending upon the type of story), who reads the copy and corrects punctuation, spelling, style and content. The co'-y reader also checks on the facts and makes | postlve that they are correct. The story is then typed and taken down to the Charlotte Republican-Tri- bune. where they make a proof of the copy. The publisher, managing ed- itor. and the editor-in-chief again make corrections on the proofs. The dummy Is n paper wit’i n t print- ing on It. The story is cut out from the proofs and pasted onto the dum- my. where it will correspond in posi- tion to the Orange A Black. The corrected proofs and the dum- my are delivered again to the Tri- bune. where a page proof is printed. The page proof is an exact duplicate of the school paper and the final corrections are made on It. The page proof Is taken back to the Tri- bune. where the final process of print- ing the Orange Black takes place. The last step is when the papers are brought back to school and distri- buted to the students and faculty. WOOL WANTED PACKARD’S MILL Flour - Feed - Seed R. W. Carr Granite Co.

As the last week drew near, the journalism class room became more and more a scene of confusion and activity. At last the day arrived that would spell success or failure for the jour- nalism show. The people in charge rushed around taking care of the last minute details and after everything was ready at 7:00. the show went on with success that paid tribute to the ••fforts made by those taking part.

Receives Sound System Amplifier To Be Used For School Parties A public addreu system has been given to Charlotte high school by Mr. Vine B. Peters of Charlotte. This system will be used for assem- bly programs, band concerts, parties and other school functions, which de- mand the use of a portable sound unit. The new system Is functioning perfect- ly after a complete checking and re- pairing by science club members and physics students. The amplifier is composed of ten tubes. Dual speakers, extension cable, microphones, and standards with fifty feet of cable included. The amplifier is equipped for microphone and an electric phono-pick-up for playing re- cordings. With the addition of this sound sys- tem to the school, it will be very con- venient for parties to have their own music and it will also be an improve- ment for assembly programs. This is the third sound system re- ceived by the school. The first one was built by radio club members in 1933. used for experimentation for the Radio Club. Science Club and physics students, the second one came with the motion picture machine, which was ob- tained in 1938. The unit on the pic- ture machine is used for sound films only. Local F. F. A.

There are certain things which a true American should believe in and practice, for example: don’t ridicule the gov- ernment. because our presidents try to do their best for this nation altogether. You see. It would be impossible to please every individual all the time. We should always pay our respects to our flag and to our presidents, even though, he may not be of the same political belief as we are. An Am- erican respects everyone regardless of race or color. I think, ns many of you do. that freedom of speech and press should be permitted as long as it doesn’t interfer with the policy of the United States. Therefore, if you want to be a true American, be loyal to your neighbors and your country as a whole. Scholarships For Graduates Scholarships seem to be the general goal of a number of graduates of '39. Every year many col- leges offer great opportunities in the line of scholarships for graduates of different high schools. A great number of students would never have the chance to go on further with their educa- tional work. Scholarships are offered by numerous colleges and universities, both in Michigan and out of state. Entry for a scholarship Is much more simple than some people think, you can receive them for passing examinations or being a son or daughter of a world war veteran, minister, or being physically defected. Mr. McCall has various entries, to be filled In by those who wish to. in his office. Election May 19 Every year we must decide who is to lead our school for the coming year. Petitions may be circulated around the school by those wishing to run for office, but must have 100 under-signers to be a candidate. Choosing wisely is a very important factor In the choosing of our future leaders. leadership, honesty, efficiency, and tact are some of the important qualities we must keep in mind when voting for our mayor or secretary. The primaries will be held on May IS and all petitions should be handed into Mr. McCall not later than May 11. The final election will be held May 19. There are to be no posters displayed until after school May 12. The amount used in the campaigns should not exceed $1. So if any of you want to be up there next year you better gel going as soon as its time. Spring Fever Once upon a time, not so very long ago. u reporter was trying to think of something awful lo say about the weather. But now he’ll have to take back all the dreadful thoughts he had about It. because the first part of this week it was won- derful, as a matter of fact, was magnificent. Did you think that the good ole” weatherman was never going to make up his mind as to whether the people deserved a summer or if they should have a continuous winter with a few April showers thrown in. Don’t get excited, he may have made up his mind, but he can change it. Class Room Ditties 7th Grade The seventh graders sponsored two boxing and wrestling matches. Monday. April 24. in the old gym. after school. Joseph N'oggle was refree. Those participating were John Dymond vs. Rich- ard Slater, and Dale Smith vs. John Axtell. for boxing; Duane Pitcher vs. George 1-aPoint. and “Bob” Orr vs. Ned Walters, for wrestling. There was a small admission fee of three cents. The holder sales netted the 7th graders $3 and their pop corn sales brought them $1. 9th Grade The freshmen class presented the play “Or- ville’s Big Date”, at the Munson school, Thursday evening at a P. T. A. The characters were as follows: Phyllis Thornton as Ethel, Willard Mike- sell as Orville; Jane Mulholland as Vivian; and Betty Weaver as Beatrice; under the direction of Mrs. Marie Taylor. Up And Dotvn The Hall The students don’t look so peppy since vaca- tion. Is it because of the weather? What was the great attraction at Eaton Rapids, during spring vacation, for C. H. S. stu- dents? Helen Foster seems happy. Why shouldn’t she? She only has three more weeks of school. (Lucky) Have you heard James Wood sing yet? That assembly we had the other day was quite snazzy”. They don't come any better. Whnt's the idea of closing the old high room during the noon hour? Will someone inform us? Sood jCuck Zjo Seniors of 39 The goal is in sight for members of the class of 1939. It is next to the largest graduating class in the history of the Charlotte high school. The total number of students are 106. Their course Is nearly finished. We should make their remain- ing days as happy as possible and fill them with memories not soon to be forgotten. When the class of '39 entered the old high school four years ago their thoughts, without a doubt, were centered upon the day when they would occupy the place of the truditlonal seniors. High school days will soon lie over for the students of the 12th grade. New plans lie beyond. There are new victories to be won which can bo reached by hard work. We wish them all. as individuals, future happiness and success in the new life they are about to experience, a life for which they have been preparing during their four years in high school. Fishes Will Get You ! College students hnvo been struck with another fad. it is not anything that is wearable or a fad of fixing hair, but that of swallowing everything alive that will go down their gullet, from fish to mice. When these poor little ertaturcs were first introduced to the world, little did they think they would soon be inhabitants of some young fellow's stomach. For instance, let’s follow the short lived life of one little goldfish, which we will call Johnny. Johnny was hatched in a fish hatchery, and spent the early days of his life there, but soon he was taken to a store and sold. Now Johnny was unlucky, for the person who bought him was a young fellow who had no good In mind for Johnny’s cause. He was allowed to swim around in a shiny fish bowl, and do auything he pleased. Several times Johnny noticed his master eagerly eyeing him. and he thought he was admiring his pretty color. But alas! and alack! little did Johnny know that ho was soon to meet his doom. For one bright day when he was sunning himself, this fellow appeared in the room, followed by a troup of other college cut-ups. He thrust his brawny palm into Johnny’s private boudoir and grabbed him by the tail.' The next thing Johnny knew, he was being held suspended over a great chasm, while several people took pictures of him. and the onlookers screamed with excitement. Suddenly he felt himself being lowered into this chasm and everything became dark. “ That, dear readers, was the end of Johnny. May his bones choke this college cut-up, and his flesh give him acute indigestion. Personality Paragraphs Senior What do I llko to do best? Sit down to a good dinner of ham and eggs and a piece of butter- scotch pie for dessert, (the bigger the better) and then settle down on a nice soft bed and sleep. I like baseball and football, but swimming is my favorite sport. The song I like best is ’Stardust'. After June I’m going to bum around and see the country, and when I come back I’m going to set to work as a mechanic In a garage.” When asked about the girls, this senior with the everlasting smile, calmly replies, “they’re ’(). K.’ In their place.” His interest runs to Eaton .Rapids, at least twice a week the ten miles are driven. Is It to see the girls, or to go skating? If you haven't guessed already who this is. it is none other thnn Bob Davis”. Sophomore When asked, when und why he chose the base drum to beat instead of playing an instru- ment, Byron Stockwell. our excellent drummer, commonly known as Bud” smiled and said. 1 didn't especially have any choice. Mr. Hynes asked me if 1 would, so 1 started beating away, although I would rather play the snare drum be- cause there is more use of the hunds und more rhythm. “Bud began playing the drum at the age of 14 and has been in the band four years. As an overture he prefers ’Orlcal’. Food seems to be a special concern of Bud’s”. His favorite dishes are fried turkey and ice cream. Byron's hobby of collecting and flying air- planes is going to become real after school is out. It seems that Bud has learned the controls of the airplane, and has a cousin, who is a flyer, and is willing to teach him the steps of taking off und landing. Football takes “Bud's” eye for the ideal sport, although, all sports are well liked. Quite emphatically, Bud told me his opinion of girls. ”1 like one junior classmate, so you see I think the girls are ’0. K.’. that is if they don’t smoke or drink. I detest that.” Sophomore Robert Stockwell (known to his friends as Bob”) gave his consent to this reporter to pry into the past. tOb! boy) present and future. Enthusiastically, our sophomore frieud said. Hunting birds and rabbits is my favorite past- time. and this year I hope to take my first trip up north, deer hunting.” Fried pheasant und cherry pie ala mode are the best palatable to him. It seems that Bob started playing the symbols at the age of 14. two years ago. When asked why he picked these he said. Well. Mr. Hynes asked me to. so I agreed, but in my last two yeaiB of band I hope to be playing the trom- bone. I'm practicing now very hard. Bob’s” favorite selections are, 'Blue Danube’, a waltz; the ’Orlcal'. an overture; and the march is ’Bantuin and Bailey’s Favorite’. A large collection of airplane pictures tell us what his hobby is. Baseball is my idea of a sport and this year I’m trying my utmost to make the team and play in the outfield.” Coming back to the ever present subject of girls, Bob perks up and says. They’re all right, especially the one at 761 North Sheldon.” Have Yon Noticed? Lawrence Tiegeler watering Van’s posies” with a teapot. Roger Granger railing out of his chair in th senior library.

The Orioles took the upper hand in the contest ■ last season defeating the ledgers by the scores of 3-0 and 5-2. Charlotte, still has the same championship team as last year except for Vent Reynolds, pitcher, and Carl Gordon, catcher. The boys are out for the trophy again this year. Best of luck to you and your squad Mr. Rohlfs. Beat Howell Mr. Gobel's track team has again resumed duties. These lads hold the capital circuit league championship. They have held this honor for two consecutive years and plan to stick out a fine team to regain it for this year. The track team has quite a few veterans and a good sup- ply of new material. They won all of their dual meets last year and also the regional track crown. Beat Howell Chnrlotte's golf team, under the supervision of Kenneth Brown, will play its first match today with Mason high school. The Maroons look the Oriole golfers to the cleaners twice last year, hut the locals are back fighting for revenge this season. They have not been able to practice very much yet due to bad weather. Beat Howell The senior class of C. H. S. once again regained the interclass title. The juniors trailed the seniors by a very close margin. Tullis. Ladd. Chandler. Roberts. Toutant. and Howe led the seniors to a glorious victory. Charlotte's Oriole track team held a meet at Raton Rapids last night. The results will be given in the next issue of Orange Black.

Classes, Clubs Present Annual Parents’ Night Skits, Programs and Displays Familiarize Guests With School Last Tuesday evening. May 9. the annual Parents Night program for parents of Charlotte high school stu- dents was held at Charlotte high school. The program was different from the preceding years. This year every class, and organization participated in the program. All organizations, and classes, that did not have ex- hibits. presented short skits dur- ing the assembly to give the visitors an idea of the purpose of the club. Displays and exhibits were opened at 7:30 p. m. Programs were passed out to the visitors, on which were printed the location of each exhibit. Some displays were in class rooms, while hobby exhibits were placed In the new gym with the Girl Scouts. Boy Scouts, and Campfire girls ex- hibits. The assembly program, which start- ed at S:30 p. m in the auditorium, consisted of short skits presented by the dramatics club, commercial club. Hl-Y club. Travel club. Girl Reserves. Campfire girls, physicial education class, and the Future Farmers of America. The orchestra, girls glee club, boys glee club, and special chorus gave several selections. The assembly program was concluded with a style show presented by the home economics class. Mayor Max Tulli was master of ceremonies dur- ing the program.

Rest of Journalism Class To Vote, And Who To Vote For; That Is The Question There is an old saying that In the spring the young man's fancy turns to love hut it seems that the guys and girls of Charlotte high defy that idea to a certain extent. In the spring the young man’s fancy turns to election of mayor and sec- retary of the school. May 18 and 19 marks the date of the eventful caucus and election days when Mayor Tullis and Secretary Lucke will leave their offices to the newly elected officers. Like electing the president of the United States to his term in office, the electing of mayor and secretary is equally important. In selectihg a president, his platfonn is given great consider- ation likewise, the platform of the candidates for mayor must he weighed in the minds of the voters. Selecting a mayor and secretary is not merely the art of getting your best friend Into office or the prettiest girl or most handsome hoy. !xx ks and even friendships are not the signs of quullfica- ton. So it is not always the hoy with the best clothes and looks or the girl who powders her nose by the hour or has the prettiest dress that is most capable for office. It is no longer the problem of these of the senior class to worry about the election of mayor and secretary, hut is the problem of those in the Junior high, ninth grade, tenth grade, and eleventh grade to choose the candidates with capability, willingness to work, and all the qualifications for a dependable mayor or secretary. While the seniors are leaving this year their interests will still be in their alma mater and the problems she is facing so it is their hope that a suitable mayor and secretary will be chosen to serve the school, and your hope for officers to serve you. Advise to voters would be to vote for what you think would be the best investment for next year. Scanning The Pages Swing fading? Not quite!------------------- Two issues ago an article appeared in this pupcr stating that swing is fading and for an example it gave Deep Purple , the song that remained tops on the Hit Parade for many weeks, as proof . This doesn't prove a thing because Deep Purple can be beautifully swung, beautifully sweet, or “beautififlly corny. So. take your pick. As for swing fading, musically ignorant die- hards have been shouting this ever since Dixieland music, the forerunner of modern swing, first made its appearance in old New Orleans over thirty years ago. In January 1938. Benny Goodman and his great orchestra played the first swing concert in New York's Carnegie Hall and were tremendously ac- claimed by lovers of music in all phases. Since then, by popular demand, many of the country's leading swing bands have played in the Carnegie building, placing their names and the music that they stand for in its proper category. The seniors who graduate from Charlotte high school this year face a large problem, shall I go on or stop here? There are two lanes that are possible. Although you may not think it possible to go on. miracles do happen. Many a student has shook his head and never looked into college pos- sibilities Thousands of colleges in the United States today offer opportunities that most high school students could take advantage of. And Now They9re Teachers It’s surprising to find out how many of our teachers wanted to be teachers when they were In high school, and how many wanted to be something else, and then changed their minds. Mrs. Frances Wildern. for instance, had want- ed to be a teacher from the time she was five. She chose English because she liked it best. Jacob VanVes8em was quite the opposite. He wanted to Inherit a fortune and be a world travel- er. When he was a senior in college he suddenly changed his mind and decided to teach history. When he came to Charlotte, they added American Government to his schedule. When Miss Patricia Verdier was in high school, she first thought she would like to be a music teacher, but then changed to languages. She taught languages at first, but also was required to teach English, which she disliked and so changed to the commercial course. Miss Margaret Johnson is also interested in music and still would like to be an accompanist in a radio station. In high school her favorite sub- ject was French; that Is why she decided to teach it. When Miss Eulalia Toms was in high school, she knew she wanted to be a teacher but changed her mind several times before deciding on Home Economics. Mrs. Alleen Combs' father was a teacher, so she wanted to be one also. A girl friend who taught Commercial courses persuaded her to do the same. Our principal. Harlan McCall wanted to be a doctor, but when he was a sophomore in college he decided he didn't like the life the doctor leads, so he changed his mind and decided to be a mathematics teacher. When he came here he started the course in journalism. He is quite well qualified for the job because he had worked with his father on his paper and also took a course in journalism when he started to teach it. Arnold Koch wanted to be a preacher but changed and decided to be a science teacher. That is only a few of the ambitions of some of our teachers, but it gives you an idea of what they might have become instead of teachers. Lest We Forget Perhaps in your mad rush for writing Inst minute themes and book reviews, you have for- gotten some of our outstanding dates and events. Starting with September, school started and every- one was deeply concerned with the oncoming dates. During the month of October was the height of our football season. November 11 was a little discouraging but we forgot our troubles at the retnemberable football-band banquet. In the same week was that stupenduous. gigiantic. nnd all kinds of adjectives, show of all shows “THE JUNIOR PLAY” (remember Dooley?). To catch up on our eating a national holiday was pro- claimed and christined THANKSGIVING ! ! ! Santa Claus as usual visited our happy little school thus giving us CHRISTMAS VACATION ! A little after our glorious capers on New Year's the end of the first semester ended but we soon revived as our famous 5 started the score board cumpaign known more commonly as BASKETBALL SEASON —(This was in that tiny, but distinctive, month of February). Probably the most distinguished of all months was that wild and rough month of March—3-4 (winning of district basketball tournament). Re- member those Pottawatomies dashing through the halls, the crowning of the queen; that all hap- pened on the night of March 24 (the journalism carnival) !!!! ! was an innocent girl -quoted from the senior play occuring March 31. 1939! ! ! ! April also possessed some notable happenings especially SPRING VACATION 10-14. (remember it snowed all vacation). For eight journalism stu- dents the dates of April 28-29 Was very important, being the Medill Press Conference. As usual May started off with a bang and probably will end like- wise. College day was announced May 4. (what a break for the seniors, also for the rest of the school an afternoon of rest and leisure)—The Footlighteers exhibited their ability as LOM- BARDS. GABLES. TAYLORS. BARRYMORES, et cetera In their annual DRAMA NIGHT May 5—. Our parents had an opportunity to view our work, and stuff on Parents Night which huppened May 9. And on this grand and lovely day of May 11 this wonderful publication of the Orange Black was published! ! ! ! ! Seniors Show Variety In Selecting Future Work Approximately one hundred and five students will graduate from Charlotte high this year. The members of the graduating class have plan- ned ma; .y varied activities for their future years. Examining the records, we find that the majority, forty-three In number, intend to go to work as soon as possible. The next largest number, thirty-four, are planning to further their education in various other halls of learning . Business, beauty, physical ed.. and premedical schools will claim most of this group. Nineteen graduates, mostly because of financial conditions, are undecided. If possible, most of this number will undoubtedly go on to other schools. Nine courageous students will brave the treacherous corridors another year, taking post graduate courses. Most of these students will do this to prevent from getting rusty while earning the money for a college course. The other students will take another year of high school so that they will not have to take extra subjects in college. For example: a student prepares for a college course in business administration, but he changes his mind and wants to study engineering. Consequently, he must take some science or math- ematics courses, not taken in preparing for a bus- iness course. He can make up this in college, but it is much better to make it up in a P. G. course. The University of Arizona is about as far from C. H. S. as any of this year’s senior class will venture to further their education. David Elies plans to attend this school. (Good luck. Dave.) The majority of the group going to college will locate close to home, namely. Michigan State. K. A. Anderson. Robert Fulton. Jo Jane Murray. Mary Nan Rowley. Ardith Tappen. and Robert Parkhurst are a few that are entering this institution. Most of them are not intending to finish here, however. K. A. plans to go from M. 8. C. to the Chicago Art Institute. Mary Nan is taking three years of pre-med. and then plans to attend the University of Michigan. Jo Jane, preparing for laboratory technician, will undoubtedly finish In some other institute. The afore-mentioned are only a few of the grads which will further their education. Acme Business college. Argubright. L. B. U.. Alma and Albion will also claim various members of the class. Eldred Toutant and Murray Chandler, class secretary and president respectively, will attend Albion, while our present mayor. Max Tullis. hopes to enter athletics at Alma. Coach Gobel's alma mater. Taking a survey of their ages, we find the youngest senior 16.5 years of age and the oldest 21.2. The average for the class is 17.5. And so to these fine, ainbitous leaders of tomorrow we say. “Best of luck, happiness and good will, class of '39 . Even The Walls Have Ears Gaiety, sadness, winner's smiles, and loser's frowns, have all been witnessed by the boys' locker room in the short time It has been part of C. H 8. It has seen the fellows eagerly dress for foot- ball games, basketball games, baseball games, and track meets, with the hope of winning the day's contest. It has seen these same fellows return later, congratulating each other on the days win. or cheering one another after the day's de- feat. It has witnessed. In these short months, tin1 passions that go with the winning and losing of games. But games are not played every day. and in the meantime there Is a much lighter air floating around, for the fellows take practice less serious- ly than an actual game. During these moments it has seen some of the craziest antics, and heard some of the tallest tales and some of the corniest notes that were ever ejected from a human's wind- pipe. Before practice, the mirth gradually rises as the boys arrive until it sounds like a women's bridge party. After practice, the boys rush to the shower room to get in on the hot water, and it is there that the singing starts. If it can be called singing. Oh. well! You must take the bitter with the sweet, but we don't think the bricks in those walls would willingly change places with those in any other part of the building. ORANGE A. BLACK Pag t Orioles Suffer Defeat at Mason Pitching, Fielding Weak In Team’s Initial Setback By «loppy fielding ami weak pitch- ing. the ('hnrlotte Orioles suffered their first defeat of the year at the hands of a hard fighting Mason nine.

Lyle Sterling. Bruce Garllnghouse. ami Fred Wletlng. The team has been practicing under the direction of Arnold Koch at a disadvantage because of the lack of proper practicing facilities.

Brown Presents Awards To Winners At Holland First division, of highly superior, is again the reward of the Charlotte high Oriole band for their second trip to the Holland tulip festival on Saturday. May 20. This Is the sec- ond time that the band has gone to the festival and both times they have succeeded In being rated highly superior. Before going on the field to parade before approximately 40,000 people, the band was carefully Inspected by Major Henry Gurds. Chas. B. Rlghter of the University of Iowa. Wm. D. Revelle, of the University of Mich- igan. and Leonard Falcone, of Mich- igan State college, were the judges and gave the bands their various rat- ings. After performing the required marching maneuvers the Oriole band formed a huge cross and while in this formation played the March Re- ligioso . On the completion of this the band formed the three letters U. S. A. and played the march Stars and Stripes Forever . The band then left the field playing Alma Mater , their school song. Governor Dickinson and many other state officials watched the 15 high school hands parade from their special stand. Auditor General Ver- non J. Brown presented the winners with their plaques. The other class B schools com- peting wore: Cold water. Zeeland. St. Joseph. Three Rivers, and Sturgis. Both Zeeland and Sturgis were placed in the first division along with Char- lotte.

For some people it is hard to stop from “slam- ming the candidate they are against, but all students should remember their feelings when giving speeches in a caucus. It doesn't take much to start a real verbal war. especially, when every- one's nerves are tense and on edge waiting to see how their candidate is going to come out. Each year some one loses his or her self- control and instead of upholding their candidate, begin tearing down their opponent. This does neither candidate any good especially the one who the speaker is for. It also reflects on the speaker, who engages in this way of verbal con- flict. Every speaker should also show tact toward any organization working for either candidate. Maybe the organization is not the best in it's line, maybe it does not appeal to you. Still one should be able to control his feelings in public. Next year another election will be held and two more candidates will be in the running for mayor. Maybe you will be planning to give a speech In support of your choice. If so. just re- member: bring out all the good qualifications that your candidate has and tell why he should be elect- ed but please show a little respect for his opponent and don't bring out how bad he is or how a terrible mayor he would make if elected. For Seniors Only Well seniors, here we are on our last few days of high school. A couple of years ago your reporter would have whooped with sheer Joy to have been in a graduating senior's shoes, but at this monent the whole thought of leaving C. H. S. doesn't seem to be quite as cheerful an occasion as was expect- ed. A strange bond seems to grow between a stu- dent and his school, and when he has worked to become a section of It. the fact that he will part with many of his old friends, isn't the happiest thought. These last remaining hours aren’t only our last few days in high school, but the last time we will ever take part in our old school activities and if any of us has dodged his chance to shoulder a responsibility or get in with the others, it's too late now. From now on our lives will be a great deal different and If any of us thinks he has a hard time now. wait till he is on his own. We'll all be wishing we were back in old C. H. S.—sooner or later. Are you on the eligibility list to belong to the famous Doodlers Club ? All that you need is a pen or pencil, something to write on. and then, the most important part, the urge to draw or make lines on the paper. One of the most talented and outstanding doodlers of C. H. S. is K. A. Anderson. In all his classes you can find him tilted back In his chair with the legs of the chair balanced on his toes, and attentively drawing a cartoon. Bob Baker's favorite doodling exercise is printing his and his friends names. He likes to make the letters big and round. Roughly sketching dresses is Peg Allen’s dood- ling habit. Scotch Tape On the lionnle banka of Charlotte high. June 8. 1939. will be the annual junior-senior prom. Everything that Is scotch front butter scotch to scotch and soda (and even a few Scotchmen) will be included for the theme of the prom. Although none of the captivating belles of the junior-senior classes, have disclosed what their costumes will be and who their escorts are; every- one seems to be looking forward for the dis- tinguished date of June 8. Dinner will start promptly at 6:30 o'clock (since we're all scotch for a night), and wre juniors don't wunt to lose money by having to buy extra warm dishes. See? After dinner, toastmaster Clarence Squibb will enact the usual toastmaster technique of making audiences laugh at nothing. Rubby Dub-Dub It takes one hundred and ten gallons of soap costing $2.00 a gallon to wash the floors of the high school building for one year It then takes one hundred and ten gallons of wax at nearly $2.00 a gallon to re-finish the floors. During spring vacation it took three men five days to do this Job. They used a % gallon of soap and a like nmount of wax for each room. (This is. of course, for the new building only.) First it is necessary to put the soap on the surface that is to be washed. After waiting ap- proximately fifteen minutes the electric floor washer is used. This machine scrubs the floor by the means of a large rotary brush. The next operation is that of removing all surplus soap. After allowing the floor to dry thoroughly, the wax is applied. To complete the entire process it takes three men a whole day to do but one room. Ed. Lietzke. the janitor, said. “I mean three men too. The soap used is of a special type, being al- kali free. The reason for this Is that the linoleum with which the floors are covered is made simply from cork and linseed oil. If there is an alkali in the soap it destroys the linseed oil and as a re- sult the linoleum cracks. Think of the money we might save by wear- ing rubbers when it’s muddy, and by wiping our feet off before entering the building. Our Leaders Do Their Part Did you ever stop to think of the services per- formed by our faculty in sports and various other high school activities? First in our marvelous schedule of activities is Coach Gobel and his gridiron squad. But as the Coach leads the team to another cup. Mr. Hynes raises the moral of the team by leading the color- ful band Into a new world of music. Coach rises again and produces a cup-winding cage squad. While all these mnjor activities are going on. Mr. Austin is reviving the ancient art of arguing. Spring brings more of our coaches to light and we see Mr Brown teaching the linksinan how- to cut up the fairways. We can also hear the familiar thud of tennis balls ns Mr. Koch's netters enter competition. Coach Gobel calls out the thlndads and presto, an- other cup for our trophy case. Of course we have a baseball team under Mr. Rohlfs. These are but a few of our faithful leaders. Mr. McCall and Mrs. Weymouth are tireless lead- ers of the Student Council. Many more of our faculty lead clubs and other school functions Errors Outnumber Hits The Charlotte Orioles dropped a hard fought game to their ancient rivals, the Islanders, on May 16 by the score of 11-9. The Orioles led until the seventh inning when the Cardinals put over four big nin8 to chalk up a victory. The Orange Black fielding was very far below par. The willow waving of big Bill Bever was re- sponsible for a home run in the fifth inning. Big Bill went the route on the mound for the Cardinals, allowing only nine safeties. Bostwick did the receiving. Charlotte tried everything on the mound by sending Loucks out on the hill to start the game Lowell Shumaker and Dale Shu- maker with Julius Fisher receiving, tried to stop the Islander's attack but to no avail, behind the Orioles ten bobbles. The Islanders collected ten hits and eleven runs to outclass the local boys who. led by Ladd. Baker, and Wietlng, all collecting two hits apiece, had only nine hits and nine runs. Class of ’39 Recalls High School Memories They started school four years ago as young, green freshmen, but within three weeks they will all be leaving the small confines of Charlotte high school and entering into a bigger world of their own. Many of them will be entering colleges throughout the land, while others will begin their start in tlieir life's work. But no matter, where they are in the next few years, many limes tho highlights of the four glorious years in high school will spread before them like a fan Their thoughts will run from the time, when as freshmen, they ducked and dodged upperclassmen in fear of be- ing blacked, up to the time they received their diplomas and stepped lightly out into the world Every senior will have his own recollections. For some it will be of a scholastic trend, while for other athletical and still others will remember moments in the band, clubs, at student mixers, proms, or class parties. Those students deserve the right to recall with pride, their last four years; for through the help of this class Charlotte has been placpd on the “map”. They leave behind them a trail of success, w-hich will be hard to follow. As freshmen, the foundation started and dur- ing their sophomore and junior years grew until this year, as seniors it blossomed out into a record, which they are justly proud. Captained by Murray Chandler, honorable mention on the all-state eleven, the football team, boasting such stars as Chandler. Ladd. Tullis. Toutant, Lea. and Scott won six games and lost only two. to take second in the Capital Cir- cuit conference. The dramatic skill of the class was unveiled when, for tho first time in tho history of the class, a senior play was given, starring Rosemary Fielder and Eldred Toutant. The basket- eers led by co-captains. Bob Ladd and Bob Baker went through a undefeated conference season and also won the regional tournament. The five regulars. Ladd. Baker. Chandler. Tullis and Tou- tant. are all seniors. Along the journalistic lines comes K. A. Ander- son who. in the Medill press conference, won first place in yearbook layout. He is the only Char- lotte entry in the history of the school to win such a high honor in journalism work. Five other journalistic awards were received by Jo Jane Murray. Nan Rowley. Rosemary Fielder. Dave Elies. Carl Rochester, and Bob Parkhurst. They were all awarded Quill and Scroll medals and certificates. The track team with such seniors as Tullis. Chandler. Loucks. Toutant. Roberts. Howe, and Love captured first place in the regional meet at Flint to take the regional cup for the second straight year. The hand, composed of 75 members, many of which are seniors, went to the Holland tulip festival and won a rating of highly superior for the second straight year. This is not all the honor and success the seniors have accomplished but through the untir- ing efforts of these students, the class of '39 has set a record, which should be the aim of every future class. And seniors, best of luck to you all, and may your accomplishments continue for years to come. Fishes and Trials Take the Eye Down in the meadow there once lived three little fishes.

They played from 4 until 10 o’clock, using flood lights after dark During this time seventeen matches were held. • • • • • This year's edition of the bascltall team is hitting better than It has in past years. The team's batting aver- age is neat .350. which almost matches the Oriole fielding percentage in the Eaton Bapids game The Orioles got 9 hits nnd kicked in with 10 mlspiays. which gave Eaton Bapids the contest. Mason who has won 7 and lost only oue is headed for the conference pen- nant. • • • • • The seniors who have earned base- ball letters previously and who will graduate this year are Bobert l add. Robert Raker. Julius Fisher. Franklin Loucks. and Kldred Toutant. These players have been the backbone of teams in the past years and will be sorely missed on next year’s team. • • • P. S..

If the track team wins the conference meet this year it will be the third year in succession his trackmen have won it. He deserves much credit In bring- ing the Orioles to their present athletic status in sports. Menzo Howe has really proved him- self as a track man. Menzo is pick- ing up u lot of points In the meets by running the low and high hurdles. 100 yard dash, and the 220 yard dash. He Is helping Charlotte to come home with flying odor .

Dry Goods, Ready-to-Wear and Rugs Compliments of VINE PETERS Charlotte Netters Take Mason and Eaton Rapids Stands Good Chance of Repeating Maroon Victory Thus far Charlotte has taken her first two of the four tennis matches she has scheduled. Charlotte took Mason on May 16. two matches to one; Eaton Bapids, May 18, ten sets to seven. Two singles and one double matches were played against the Ma- roons. The four fellows who played are: doubles. Clarence Squibb and Howard Newsome; singles. K. A. Anderson and Sebert Willett. Mr. Koch and the other three team mem- bers agreed that although K. a. Anderson lost his match, he played ' (he best tennis against Mason. Ander- son played the Maroon’s No. 1 singles player. In the game with Eaton Bapids. Charlotte played eight single matches and nine doubles. Of these the Orioles won three singles and seven doubles. This tournament started at 4:00 o'clock and was not finished until 9:45. Char- lotte team members were the supper guests of individual Islander players. Team members together with Mr. Koch agreed that Vern Scott, who Is playing his first tennis this year, showed the most improvement in the Eaton Bapids game. He was one of the three who took their singles match. Because of these results the Char- lotte players will stand a good chance of again beating Mason on May 27. Up until the match with Mason none of them who played against the Ma- roons had played on cement courts. During these past matches all but one member of the team has had a good chance to get the feel” of a cement court.

Howell 8-4. and Eaton Bapids 6-5. Oriole fielding and pitching has not come up to expectations this year but the hitting has been more than was counted on.
