In less than eleven years he mastered the most difficult of all instruments and became Amer- ica's most outstanding xylophonist. Mr. Knox has given concerts to audiences all over the United States. These concerts have been sponsored by the National Tran- scribers Society for the Blind. He- lms also appeared as feature artist at both the San Francisco and New York World’s Fairs. The money that was donated will be enough to purchase eight or nine volumes of Braille books. Greece, Italy or Eygpt? Approximately fifty books were sent from the State library to the library at the request of Mrs. Kip linger. The books are about ancient his- tory and historical novels; they are for the benefit of the World history classes. These books have been used by the classes and are found to be extremely interesting.

MUSIC COURSE (Continued from Page 1.) sectional rehearsal, one and one- half hours of full orchestra rehear- sal. The rest of the day or from 3:30 on. the students could practice or participate in any of the recrea- tion which was conducted around the campus or any other things they cared to do. The faculty plan- ned evening entertainment such as concerts given by professionals, faculty, and students. Mr. Powell, who also took a teach- ers music course at the same time, stated. “Michigan State College music short courses will be a great opportunity for young musicians whose musical experience is limit- ed. The theory course is very im- portant and now most colleges will not take students until they have had the first year of theory. The course also offers a good opportun- it for boys and girls to play under experienced college conductors and play music of a high educational value. I should like to see the whole Charlotte band go over there some summer. The F. H. A. girls have ordered sweaters with the F. H. A. emblem on them. The first meeting of the club was held October 3. The Glee club under the direc- tion of Miss Elaine Meyer has of- ficers for the year. Miss Meyer has several outside appearances planned. The Girl Reserves have changed their name to Y-Teens.

In Others' Moccasins In the frontier days when an Indian left camp to visit other tribes he would sit beside other chiefs around the camp fire. As the fire was going out. one chief would say. “Great Spirit, help me never to judge another until 1 have walked two weeks in his moccasins.” We need the same spirit in every walk of life —even in school. There is diversity in nature's trees, vegeta- tion. food, animals, all of which create beauty and satisfaction. People too have talents, personalities, arts, music, and athletic ability. These all blend into happiness and better living. Let's not find fault, and criticize, but remember the cus- tom of the Indians and be tolerant, patient, and co-operative, both to faculty and students. Specters ! Do you ever walk along a street on a dark night, and feel just as if something were creep- ing up on you? Do you hear loud meows and swishing noises, see leering faces peering out at you from heaven knows where? Of course you do! In reality they are only spooks and witches, riding on broomsticks with their black cats, and harmless little jack o'lanterns. You might even see Tarzan. old Mother Hubbard, Captain Kidd. Bugs Bunny and Superman if you look very hard. You are very apt to see Mortimer Skeleton, who has just crawled out of the closet to celebrate All Hallow's Eve. Skeletons are always popular because there are so many of them. Now, that reminds me! I)o you have any old skeletons in your closets? You know, something you are ashamed of, some little incident that shouldn't have hap- pened last Halloween. Maybe you were just having a little innocent fun. Fun is all right, just so it isn't at some- one else’s expense. We mean wrecked cars with soaped windows, damaged property, and broken plate glass windows. A joke is a joke. You can still have a good time. Please don't put any skeletons In your closets this year. Haue A Cobe” The saying. Have a coke , is now popular in a big way. Why? Well let the students from C.H.S. tell you. We have a coke ma- chine. which is enjoyed by everyone from faculty to students. It is talked about by all. and the students would really like to say this much about it. “Thanks a million. We ap- preciate it. Thanhs Ta low Has everyone used the new gate at the foot- ball field? It is a big improvement to the athletic field and we should like to thank Mr. Blight and his agriculture class and farmshop, Mr. Paajanen and his metal shop, and Mr. Johnson and his general shop for their work. Many thanks to the 4-H clubs for the use of the fair grounds for parking space. Questions For Quiz Kids Hey, kids, how bright are you? Can you fill in the following blanks with the proper names?

Around midnight she thought she heard foot- steps which in reality was the crackling of fire in the wall partitions. Upon investigating, she smelled smoke and called the fire depart- ment. So worried and uncertain, all she could say was. “I don’t want to seem foolish, but I’ve got a house full of smoke.” Afterwards she realized how silly this sounded. The fire department arrived to our faculty member’s relief for she was waiting on needles and pins. People began crowding around the house. Smouldering for two hours in the partitions, the fire produced a great deal of smoke so the whole house has to be redecorated. The stair- case, hall and landing are all that must be rebuilt. They threw open the doors; the smoke poured out and a cat and dog came in to add a peaceful fight under the dining room table to the confusion. No matter how destructive a tire is there are always those little embarassing moments when you feel as Miss Del Favero did. waltz- ing around in her pin curls and biting her fingernails, worrying over all those uninsured clothes that she might lose. We all might better be safe than sorry and observe thi week every year to check defective wiring and other hazards.
