The winners of these were: kick- ball. 7 A's; dodgeball. seniors; volley ball, seniors; and basketball. 8 A's by the point system. This system is called round robin . The total num- ber of points made in each basket- ball game are counted and the team having the most points are the winners. The tenuis tournament was played with singles and doubles. The 7. 8. 9. and loth grades practiced Tuesdays, and the juniors and seniors Wednes-' days and Thursdays. There were 36 girls out for this sport. The tournament was played by the ladder system. Each girl was placed on a round of a ladder und any girl could challenge one of the two girls j ahead of her but not the third. The j girl on the top round at the end of! ihe tournament was crowned cham- pion. This year a new organization was formed, called the Girls Athletic Club. This group chose Leone Haddix as president, but because of too many points she had to resign. Beulah j Beebe was then elected the leader. To raise money, the club sponsored dances after school and sold candy during the noon hour. The girls also gave a Christma? basket to a family | during Christmas time. It was necessary for each girl to get 400 points to earn a letter. The seniors. If they had earned a letter in the past year or years and had 40ti points, had the choice of a letter or a trophy.

BASEBALL SCORES Charlotte 10 Howell 5 Charlotte 13 Mason 71 Charlotte 8 Everett 3I Orioles Quintet Places Second In Conference A 30-18 setback at the hands of Eaton Rapids in the semi-final con ference game of the season smashed all of Charlotte's hopes for u possible tie for first place in the Capital Cir- cuit League. The boys from the Island city were crowned champs tor the 1939-40 basketball season, with the Orioles a close second. In the Initial game of the season, Charlotte placed four inexperienced players on the floor as the start.ng lineup. Although showing nothing spectacular they humbled a fighting St. Johns team. 38-21. Continuing their good form of the week before, the Orioles won their second straight conference game by the lopsided score of 34-22 over a taller team. Grand Ledge. In a non-conference game, Lakeview high from Battle Creek avenged a tournament defeat of tast zear with a 2S-23 decision over the Orange and Black squad. A tight zone defense had Chanotte baffled most of the game. Journeying to Howell for the third conference game, the Orioles managed to eke out a slim 34-30 victory over the fast-break- ing boys from the east. The first con- ference defeat came to Charlotte at the hands of Mason, by the score of tO 18 Eaton Rapids next came to Char- lotte. leading the league with 4 wins and no losses. The Cardinals found the Orioles a little tough and were Charlotte's next victims by the small score of 21-16. Still not able to gel over the Lakeview Jinx, the boys from Battle Creek again rode over Char- lotte by the score of 39-33. The score tied until the last few minutes when u final spurt netted the Blue and White s.x, the needed points for victory. Another final rally gave the Orange and Black cagers a 21-19 de- cision over Hastings. In a return game with St. Johns the Red and While again took it u the chin. This time by the tune of 24-15. This game was the Orioles' first without the services of Fred Wleting. who was lost by graduation. Leland Wendell was then promoted from the second team and started in the other forward position. The sec- ond conference defeat for Charlotte came in a return game with Gr. nd Ledge in an overtime game, which was finally decided on the point sys- tem. The score was tied at the end of regulation time and also when one overtime period had elapsed. On basis of points, for most field goals, best percentage of fouls, and least number of fouls, the Ledgers won 6»,fc-5‘ . Hastings was next to drop Chnrlotte by the wayside and won in a return game by the close score of 28-26 This again was a non-conference tilt. Completing their last in a series of three defeats Eaton Rapids took their winning turn in victory by a margin of 12 point8. the score being 20-18. In the post-season game of the sea- son for Charlotte, which took place at the State District Tournament in Charlotte, the Orioles were decisively beaten for the third time by the ag- gressive Lakeview team. The score was 43-31. Poor defensive play on the part of Charlotte and the sharp- shooting of Captain Bob Armstrong of I akeview were the main factors In the downfall of the Oretige and Black squad. The Oriole squad was made up of eight seniors and two sophomores. Fred Wietlng. Jim Spanlolo. Clarence Squibb. Jack Mate. Jim Durner, Ken- neth Bruce. Raymond Snyder, and Lyle Kane are the final year men who have or will graduate. f(( 16 )))

The CHARHIAN FEATURE Meet Kippy” Marina Kiplinger has been a member of the Charlotte high school faculty over twenty years. Mrs. Kiplinger teaches Literature 12. Composition 1 . Bible Study, and World History. Hence, with this variety ot subjects, she has the privilege of having almost every graduate of this school in one of these classes sometime during his high school c: reer. She averages about 150 different students each year in her classes. Multiplying this number by the number of years she has taught here, we find that Mrs. Kiplinger has assisted approxi- mately 3.000 people in being graduated. “Kippy attended Albion college and the I'nlversity of Michigan, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree. She has taken post- graduate work at the I’nlversity of Chicago. Uni- versity of Michigan, and Northwestern university. She is greatly interested in education, especially ns it applies to the high school level. She likes the contact with people of this age. enjoys watch- ing them develop mentally, and appreciates their a sociations with each other. She has succeeded in the held of teaching. She believes that if she is honest with her pupils, they will he honest with her. She has taught others, but she has also learn- ed much from the students. She stated. “Pupils are great teachers if you give them a chance. With this chance, almost every student will be a good contributor to class discussion.” To have a successful class. Mrs. Kiplinger thinks that each one should he co-operative. As long as each student is willing to do his part, the group will get along more smoothly. She favors having a small class, for this makes for greater informality. To her. class room teachers are an essential part of a school set-up, and no mutter what the subject mi y be. character education holds good in any course. With the student who is willing to co-operate, with the one who tries his best to get a lesson, and with the one wh does his best. “Kippy likes to work with best. Students who are absolutely indifferent, insincere, and defiant make it dif- ficult for a pleasing class. About ten years ago. Mrs. Kiplinger and Karl Mead became advisers of the senior classes. Mr. Mead has managed the business affairs of the class and Mrs. Kiplinger has always made the arrangements for the class night program, and worked intimately with the members. Through this work, she has known personally most of the class and she has done much to influence them in their decisions. She gained their confidence and thus heard their failures, grievances, their hopes and ambitions, their slights and doubts. She has had an opportunity to encourage the morals of ' many graduates as a teacher of Bible Study. Mrs. Kiplinger is a versatile individual. Read- ing is her favorite hobby and she is acquainted with most of the wholesome hooks. From exten- sive reading, she has an understanding of words. She enjoys study and enjoys seeing others do it. She enjoys life as she has a variety of activities. She is known to many through her w’ork in the Methodist church. She appreciates music, she likes to study the German language, and is fond o housework and cooking. She is proud of the window display of plants in her class room for they lend to the informality. Before Eva Jeanne, her daughter, went away to school, she never knew what it meant to live vicariously, but now she goes to college over again in the experiences that her daughter has. To succeed in an undertaking, Kippy be- lieves “you have to love what you are doing and the people with whom you work. If you enjoy any kind of work you must have a sense of humor; it helps one to overcome his dis- appointments and failures.” She has a sensible out- look on life and believes that one doesn’t have to he famous to he great. One needn't necessarily start a great undertaking, but if he can keep it going, he is doing his part. If one does his best, there is a personal satisfaction, whether the public acknowledges it or not. Time will reveal one's success. Mrs. Kiplinger stated. If students would realize that teachers are human as well us they. It would make for better understanding many times. She has a wonderful philosophy of life: If you have helper! one person In a definite way. your life hasn't been in vain. lister Blsel: Do you believe in free speech? Mr. Austin: That depends on whether I'm bigger than the other fellow. AND This Is Only Commonplace in 1927 (From Readers' Digest) I remember when I saw my first knees. It was while waiting for dinner to he announced that the humiliating Incident occurred. The lady—I shall not give her name for obvious reasons—sat down on a low couch and in a careless moment crossed her legs. There was a flash, a twinkle and I had seen her little dainty round knees. In a moment one of the other ladies present gave her a signal and soon her knees disappeared from sight. That was several years ago. It'll never get worse than that. I said, but snip—snip went the scissors as I spoke. Suddenly the world became full of knees, knees everywhere, seas of knees. Snip snip went the scissors ugain. A little more hud come off. the skirts had giown a little higher. And the scissors are still snipping. And 1941 is coming. How I dread it! ! Where will we he in 1941? ???????
