They say that I am good-looking. Is this why the girls insist upon rushing me? Your idea is all wrong, my dear boy. It is only because you are one of the few new masculine possibilities at Charlotte that you are, as you say, being rushed. Kitty. Dear Miss Catt, I am greatly worried. I dress neatly, I am beautiful, I can hold an intelligent conversa- tion, I am always rushed upon first arrival, but dropped immediately. Why? Perhaps your conversations are centered around yourself too much. Kitty. Dear Pussy, VVhy do my male acquaintances last for such a short time? I give them all I can and later they barely speak. Now I am going with a soccer hero. XVill it last? Is it advisable to go after other girls' S. Ps. Qsecret passionj ? Perhaps you give them too much. Most men prefer that which is hard to get. In answer to your last question-be careful, you will get into hot water some day. Kitty Dear Kitty, I am a jovial P. G. XVhy am I considered an undergraduate? Perhaps you look as young as you act. Kitty. Dear Miss Katt, On attaining the age of sixteen and about to graduate from Junior lligh School, I had hoped to become more respected by the older pupils and by junior high pupils by acting more friendly.

Page forty-six 'PHE NVITAN SYS A Vision of the Alumni 2, f-Q56 NIE day a group of alumni took a l Mr l . . trip through Charlotte High hx School Some wanted to see the MQIJ' fine building that their former classmates now attended and others wanted to see some of their one-time teachers. As they entered the front door they saw Miss Stowell crossing the hall and entering the office. Someone remarked that she had been graduated from the old Charlotte High School and she was now the principal's secre- tary. The crowd followed her into the office to talk over old times. Much to the surprise of many there was their old classmate, Miss Lighthart. who was working with Miss Stowell. The group of graduates moved on down the hall toward the northern end of the building. Stoppfng at the first room one of the mem- bers of the party exclaimed, Why, there is Mrs. Denise, the star Latin pupil in our class. Listen she is talking about -est divisa in partes tres-'. They wandered down the long spacious hall. As the group neared the third floor they recognized the voice of Mr. Lacy who had been in their graduation class. A masculine member of the party exclaimed with a sigh, Gee, the pupils who go here to school are lucky, and to the question 'WVhy ? he replied, Haven't you noticed all the good- looking teachers around P Someone made the suggestion that the crowd go out on the roof to see what they could see. Most of our good friends looked across the street and pulled a handkerchief from their pockets. A young man asked where Ruth Punnett was but no one seemed to know. Ruth McKee. who was recently elected an officer of her class in the Buffalo School of Pharmacy, said she could see her, off in the distance. She said she was in a large building, as she looked the vision became clearer and she observed that the name at the entrance to the grounds read Denison University. By this time they were all in a daze and could see as far as Ohio. Ruth was studying a book on sociology. ' sg! 72 All of the curious individuals were looking around the cities to see if they could see any old friend. Concetta Mazza, who was in our midst was looking around the R. B. I. and there she saw four girls from old Charlotte. They were Ruth Garrett, Zylpha Humphrey. Janet Barry and Virginia Riley. Studious little Mary VanKesteren spoke up and said she could see three boys coming from one of the buildings at the U. of R., Good- looking Shep Shayne is one,ambit ious Everett Gardner and smiling Norm Spafford are the others, she continued. Immediately someone asked if anyone could see Pauline Bott. VVhile in search of Pauline a sharp-eyed girl spied Helen Hushard at Naz- areth Academy. As each member turned to see Helen, Pauline came running out of the building to meet her-the problem was solved. Suddenly Ruth Gordon, also of our party, started to laugh and said, just look at the Gas and Electric building, see it? There is Evelyn Hunt hossing Florence Sparks and Helena Flemming around! On the door it says Dem- onstrator-Home Service Department. Milan Brace and George Helbergf' cried someone. Look, over at T roy. at the Rensse- laer Polytechnic Institute, they are studying Chemical Engineering. A politician, glancing toward Greece. saw the recently elected supervisor Gordon Howe working hard. He was seated on a desk in a large oflice. VVhy there is Bill Tiernanf' remarked a very observing boyfl he is at the Buffalo School of Pharmacy. Anona Page was seen by Bob Trayhern. Cwho was skipping classes from the U. of RJ working for the North VVestern Life Insur- ance. Bang! the door was slammed and brought our friends out of their psychic reverie. They started to go downstairs but the door was locked. They rattled it and it was opened by one of their former teachers, and they walked into the reality of school once more. MILDRED LEE, THE WITAN Page forty-five Student Council The Student Council which represents the students of Charlotte High School has worked this term with great zeal and enthusiasm to benefit and promote the welfare of the school. Established in our new building, the council has had ample room for new ideas and plans which would make us worthy of our splendid new building. Much good has been accomplished this term and many suggestions and plans have been outlined which may be carried out in the near future. At the beginning of the term the ten-ten plan was adopted to raise necessary funds, and this plan with the aid of teachers and students has proved to be a great success. It has not only provided a great bargain to students, but has contributed in paying for many needs of the school. Probably the greatest accomplishment was the solving of traffic problems outside the school and in the corridors. A traffic com- mittee, with Robert LaFave as captain, was formed and this group of boys have worked earnestly and conscientiously to help solve many trafnc problems outside the school. To aid corridor traffic a set of rules was drawn up by the council and passed out to the students. The Student Council has tried to remedy the discourtesy in assemblies, but since stu- dents have continued to be noisy and dis- courteous they are stressing this matter still further. We hope that this may be remedied and that all students will do their part. The representatives have been seriously dis- cussing citizenship awards, and although noth- ing definite has been decided as yet, we expect to reach a conclusion soon. Good ideas, lengthy discussions, and good judgment on the part of the representatives have brought about some excellent results. The Student Council feels that it has done its part in upholding the principles of our school and in making this a better place to be. Dorothy Nicol.

The evening was concluded with games and dancing. The Alpha Chapter wishes to welcome Mary Donaldson who was initiated last year into the Gamma Chapter of the Optimates at John Marshall. Les Babillards On November 17, the Epsilon Chapter of Les Babillards held its first meeting in room 205. Plans were made for initiation of the new members. A report of the meeting of the French Honor Society council was given by one of the representatives, Dorothea Clic- quennoi. On November 13, the membership of the society was widened at a tea in the teachers' cafeteria. The following were pledged mem- bers: Thelma Kinnius, Margaret Hewins. Evelyn Bucher, Helen Andrews, Sager Barton, David Gilkeson, Alice justice, and Adele Hellman. ' On November 25, the semi-annual reunion of all the chapters of Rochester was held in the form of a banquet at the South Congrega- tional Church. The many members present from Charlotte High School were very proud of their president, Beverly Wilkins, who de- livered a fine address of greeting. Miss Hull from the University of Rochester was the very interesting speaker of the evening. Commercial Honor Society Any Commercial student of Charlotte High School who has reached the last term of his third year's work and who excels in all com- mercial subjects is eligible for membership in the Commercial Honor Society. The members try to uphold the high standards of character and service. During this term, the Commercial Honor Society had the pleasure of inducting four girls and one boy into membership. They are: Vir- ginia Jackson, Hope Clark, Florence Ambrose, VVilda Ambrose, and Fred DeMato. Fred had the distinction of being the only boy in the society at that time and the third boy ever to be made a member. The other members this term are: Anne Rawlinson, president, Eliza- beth Hill, vice-presidentg Pauline Zenker, sec- retary, Irene Gemming, reporter 5 Rose Ella Ames, Marjorie Webb, and Rena Parratt. Miss Newman is the adviser of the society. The Commercial Honor Society gave a tea in honor of these new members. At the tea the induction was conducted by the president, Anne Rawlinson, Virginia Jackson poured. Mr. Lacy, Mr. Courtney, and Mr. Tracy were guests at this meeting. Mr. Lacy spoke on the topic How To Get a Job. Vero Beach, Florida, November 17, 1933. Dear Friends: As the big day draws near I am sharing your excitement and anticipation. I only wish I could be there to congratulate you all in person but at the present it is quite impos- sible. Though I haven't seen you in three years my memory recalls you all as you were when we were freshmen. Do you remember our first attempts at get- ting the whole class together for celebrations? Do you girls remember also how the boys just wouldn't dance? Above all the memories of red letter days one stands out clearest. It was the last one I attended. We celebrated Hallowe'en :lt Gwendolyn Stevens' home Cin costumej and as a remembrance I was presented with a neck- lace. I will keep it and cherish it forever and ever. Though one thousand five hundred miles separate us, my thoughts will be with you on your day of graduation. I wish everyone of you a happy, prosperous life. Sincerely, MARY KING SMITH.

On March 31, a banquet similar to those previous was held. At this time Dorothea Cliquennoi, Maude Lancaster, David Bishop, Phyllis Line, Erwin VVard, Ruth Thomas, Thelma Kinnius, Adele Hellman, and Margaret Hewins were initiated. The Consul was toast- master. Formal Initiation The Alpha Chapter of the Optimates in Charlotte High School held its formal initia- tion on Vlfednesday, October ll, at 2:45, in room 108.

Students were chosen on their ability to sing and the interest shown by them by par- ticipation in voice classes and Glee Club. The choir met for the first time on Novem- ber 24. and chose a name and elected officers. They were: president, Esther Reitzeg vice- president. Ruth VanVertlohg secretary, Kenneth Knapp. The choir meets on every Friday afternoon after school, until four olclock. Mr. Marsh hopes to be able to have them give a concert in the near future. At present there are twenty-three members. They are: Robert LaFave, Eleanora Ivanson, Ruth VanVertloh. Mildred Lee, Kenneth Knapp, Margaret Hewins, Eric Stevens, Victor Ander- son, Barbara Budlong, Alice Allen, Marjorie Todd, Paul Goodwin, Frank Bright, Melville Northrup Richard Gernon, Ralph Bohrer, George Frey, Alberta Lee, Virginia Kinsella, Dorothy Davidson, Marjorie Eusterman, Robert Poland, Esther Reitze, accompanist. Music Department There has been a Renaissance in the depart- ment of vocal music this year. It is very en- couraging to note that in the middle of this term we were able to get three periods of Senior High School Choir in school time- second, third, and sixth periods, meeting twice a week under the direction of Mr. Lewis J. Marsh, forming a combined choir of about one hundred and forty voices. The officers of this choir are: president, Paul Goodwing vice- president. Eleanora Ivansong secretary, Frank Bright, treasurer, Alberta Lee. An operetta is being selected to be given in the spring. A Music Board consisting of the officers of all the musical organizations has been formed to direct the music work in general. The Apollo Club, an honor club limited to people showing marked ability and interest in music, meets on Friday afternoons under the direction of Mr. Lewis El. Marsh with Esther Reitze as accompanist. The otlicers consist of: president, Esther Reitzeg vice-president, Ruth VanVertlohg secretary and treasurer, Kenneth Knapp. Charlotte has four new members, Virginia Kinsella. Ruth VanVertloh. Robert LaFave. and Loretta Greenwell, in the Inter-high School Choir under the direction of Mr. Alfred Spouse which meets at the Eastman Theatre every Saturday morning. 1 Because a large number of interested people were unable to enter the Inter-high School Choir, a new choir, under the direction of Mr. Marlowe Smith, meets at Monroe High School every Saturday morning to train prospepctive pupils for the Inter-high Choir. Charlotte has furnished the following people: Barbara Hudlong, Marjorie Eusterman, Mildred Lee, Eleanora Ivanson, Kenneth Knapp, Eric Stevens, Marjory Todd, Robert Poland, and Melville Northrup. Charlotte High Orchestra Something new has been done this year in combining the junior and Senior Orchestras. This combined orchestra which is under the able guidance of Mr. Marsh, meets every Mon- day night in the Band Room. School Jazz Orchestra This year the jazz Orchestra has been made one of the regular Charlotte Activities. It meets every Wednesday night in the Orchestra Pit and is under the leadership of C. Kenneth Hersey. Inter-High Band and Orchestra These organizations are two of about twenty such organizations in the United States. The Band, which meets every Saturday morning at 8 o'clock in the Monroe High Auditorium is conducted by Sherman A. Clute. The Orches- tra which also meets at Monroe at 10 o'clock is conducted by Karl Van Hoeseu. Both the Band and Orchestra are of full symphonic size. Playing nothing but the finest works of the great composers, the young musicians are given ample opportunity to become proficient in this type of work. Charlotte's representative to this organization is C. Kenneth Hersey who plays trombone. THE XVITAN Page forty-one 4646 GORDON A. Howit, '24 Gordon A. Howe of Denise Road, was re- cently elected to the Board of Supervisors of Monroe County. He is one of the youngest members ever elected to fill this position and Charlotte is proud to remember that he is a graduate of this school, class of June 1924. During his career as a student here he was active in all phases of extra-curricular activi- ties and as General Howe, was popular with all the students. In his senior year he was elected president of the Students' Association without an opposition candidate in the field, but did not assume office as he was at the time already holding two major offices, and several minor ones. E General was a member of the champion- ship basketball team of 1924, having previously served two terms as captain. He played soc- cer, baseball, tennis, acted on the famous Charlotte Day committee, was chairman of the Freshman Return Party in his first year, and the Senior Ball committee in his last year. As a member of the publicity committee he served the school well, especially in the athletic write-ups for the newspapers. On the Witan staff, he stands out as one of two business managers in a period of thirteen G. A. A. News Old age has shown its effect in the results of the volleyball tournament. The sophomore youngsters romped over their elders by cop- ping every game in the series. No team took third place because the Juniors and Seniors tied for second place. The winning team was composed of lean Stubbs, captain, Margaret Ames, Beryl Corey, Suzanne Fisler, Eileen Guyett, Arline Kenyon, Lucy Lyon, Selma Michel, Mary Simonds, Eleanor Truesdale, Helen Schantz and Dorothy Graham. From the three teams playing in the volley- ball tournament an Honor Volleyball Team was picked which consists of the following girls: Margaret Ames, Corrine Crocetti, Dorothy Graham, Hilda Lavell, Lucy Lyon, Beatrice Knabb, Selma Michel, Elaine McNulty, Mar- garet Sandle, Jean Stubbs, Peggy Warner, Marjorie Willis, Marjorie NVebb, Angelina DiMarco, Dorothy Beebee, and Irene Fleming. The G. A. A. offered bowling as one of its sports this season. The girls bowled at the Ridge Road alleys and those having the best average scores for the season were placed on the Honor Bowling Team. Evelyn Bucher, Melissa Connor, Zenobia Luckhurst, and Phylis VV0lz are members of the Honor Team. All the fall sports have been fairly well attended as the following report shows. Ten girls received OK's in attendance for Tennis, fourteen for Bowling, fourteen for Captain Ball and Field Ball, and thirty received OK's in Volleyball. igli- The Senior High School girls' sports for the winter season are listed as follows: Mon- day, Basketballg Tuesday, Out-door Club, and Bowlingg Wediiesday, Basketball and Social Dancingg Friday, beginner's Basketball.

Since graduation he has constantly manifested an interest in Charlotte and our activities. May his political career be as successful as his school career was. Page forty THE WITAN 2546 On XVednesday, October 25, the Senior High School girls entertained a group of West High girls in a volleyball playday. The games were played in the small gym with Miss Booth refereeing one set of games and the other set being refereed by Miss Dunbar, girls' athletic instructor for West High. Each team played four games and then all the girls went to the individual gymnastic room where they were served punch and cookies. The West High girls said that they had a great time, they also admired the building and envied Charlotte High students very much. G. A. A. PARTY The fall season of girls' sports ended in grtat style with a party held in the small gym- nasium. Margaret Sandle, as chairman of the entertainment committee, was mistress of cere- monies and announced the various events. Virginia Dickson and Jessie Lancaster, accom- panied by Wayne Davenport at the piano, entertained the assembled company with two clever tap dances. Miss Booth conducted a novel spelling bee, that caused plenty of hilarity. Margaret Hanna tickled the ivoriesv for an old fashioned Virginia reel. Two comic dramatic skits were presented by a cast of players including Marjorie Webb, Eleanora lvanson, Margaret Sandle, Jean Frattare, Thelma Lusink, and Helen Bloom. Inter- spersed between these features was dancing for which Esther Reitze played. Since no party would be complete without the eats quantities of jelly doughnuts and cocoa were provided to appease voracious appetites. But the sixty girls present could not consume all the food, for the refreshment committee had planned for a hundred girls. And so after the party was over the doughnuts and cocoa were taken over to the big gymnasium and presented to the reserve and regular basket- ball teams which were practicing there. This highly successful party will be remembered forever because Joe Smith took a picture of it. The Girls' Athletic Association congratulates Margaret Sandle and Jean Stubbs for having earned their C. H. S. emblem. This award is presented to a girl when she has earned fifty points for excellency in sports. HOME ECONOMICS Mrs. Louise Cowles and Mrs. Gladys Foster are the two new homemaking teachers. They teach the junior high girls and the girls from No. 38 school. In October a clothing exhibit of Self-Help Garments for the young child was given for the home-economics girls. On October 25, refreshments were served by the homemaking girls for the West High girls, who came to Charlotte toenjoy a game of volleyball with our senior high girls. A tea was held on Nevomber 6, for the mothers of the 7B classes. Refreshments were served by the homemaking girls. Miss Sage was general chairman of the afternoon pro- gram. Dr. Burnside talked to the parents about the work of the school psychologist. On November 15, refreshments for tea were served by our girls for the City Art Teachers in the Home Practice room, a room suitable for small gatherings. Miss Brown was the hostess. Miss Adams, director of art educa- tlon, for the public schools in Rochester, was one of the guests. The Commercial Honor Society had a tea on November 22, in honor of the new mem- bers. Refreshments were served by the home economics classes. On November 29, the first-period class of homemaking girls had a Thanksgiving break- fast. The girls all came at eight o'clock to pre- pare the breakfast. The third period class also had a dinner on the same day.

THB: WITAN Page thirty-nine T 33 Basketball An unusually large number of candidates for the basketball team reported to Coach Wood- man this year and on account of the abundance of material he has decided to have three teams, the first team, the reserves, and the sopho- mores. The idea of a sophomore team is new at Charlotte and Mr. Woodman, by scheduling games for them, hopes to build up good ma- terial for future first teams. The basketball prospects for this year re- ceived a great setback when George Beane, star guard was injured. This injury will prob- ably keep Gee out until the first of the year and he may not be able to play at all. This emergency called for quite a shift, but Coach Woodman thought he had a Find in Mc- Crary. Unfortunately Court was declared ineligible before the first league game. Bon- Held has now been moved back to the center position while Mr. Woodman is trying out various combinations to find one with strength in the back court and plenty of scoring power. The members of this year's squad are: John Ragan, Leon Bonfield, Albert F rattare, Albert Cason, Gard Mason, Bob McKissock, Angelo Vincelli, John Garrett, and Art Michel. Page thirty-eight THE WITAN 36 Reserve Soccer A first team is only as strong as its reserves. This year's Green and White reserve team was one of the strongest in the league and ended the season near the top of the heap. Bob Bowen was the scoring threat of the team with about 10 goals to his credit. Garrett's great de- fense work between the uprights kept many a goal from being scored.

Charlotte scored in the opening minute and was never headed until the last minute when an East Rochester man sank a shot after the Brown and White team had slowly closed in on the Charlotte five. The weakening of the team in the last quarter, and the lack of scoring power lost the game for Charlotte but the boys have been working hard to correct their faults and hope to open the leagu season against East High School on December 8 with a win. CHARLOTTE-EAST HIGH A fine East High team beat out a strong Green and White five. The East High fellows were tall and their skill in getting the ball off the backboard provided the margin of victory. Boniield, rangy Charlotte center, was high scorer for the Lakesiders and McKissock's play was the feature of the game. When the whistle blew for the end of the game the Green and White were on the short end of a 29-19 score. 1 .

This victory left Charlotte and Madison tied for first place. ,-Xrrangements were made for a playoff at the lfdgerton Park Paddock two days later. Cf l.Xl4l.f JTTE 3-M.-XIJISON 2 ,X crowd of about 2,500 people assembled in the lforse Show Paddock to watch Charlotte and Madison play-off for the title. There was plenty of spirit and excitement from both cheering sections. The game opened with Charlotte bombarding the Madison goal only to be repulsed by the excellent work of Stew- art, Madison goalie. ln about the middle of the first quarter, Mason was forced to leave the game because of an injury. DeMato was sent in to take his place. Fritz seemed to touch off a spark in the team. Charlotte scored twice in the first half, both counters being booted by 1JeMato.' .Ns play was resumed in the second half, the situation was reversed with Madison bonibarding the Charlotte goal. .Xt the end of the third quarter the score was tied Dehlato, after scoring the two previous goals. booted one past Stewart after the Green and XYhite team had taken the ball clown the field in a great drive. In the last few minutes Madison was shooting everything it had against a tiring Green and VVhite team. Only the stellar performance of McCrary saved the day for the Lakesiders, especially in the last few seconds on a bounce ball in front of the goal. As the final whistle blew, Charlotte was ahead 3-2 and the Championship was Charlotte's for the Hrst time since 1923. Soccer Victory Dinner The Students' Association had a Victory Dinner for the championship soccer team. This dinner was strictly a stag affair and many men of the community were there. Among the guests of honor were the championship 1933 soccer team, the 1923 team, Mr. Elmer Smith of the Board of Education, Mr. Cham- berlain, coach of the 1923 team, Mr. Tichenor, coach of the 1953 team, Mr. XVilcox, prin- cipal of East High, Mr. West, Dr. Bennett. and Mr. XVi1liam Lang, assistant city editor of the Rorlzcsfcr Journal. The surprise of the evening was the presen- tation of gold charms, in the form of soccer balls, to each fellow on the squad. 1 1 if . xe.0W' Sports ff' fm St' 1 ,..at5-.ft-gf: G+ 'HWS GOYYI if My gy, ,We oust gtg C660 0,1900 1 XX ' wh?

His hard charging and accurate boots accounted for many of Charlotte's goals. 'lohnny fell one goal short of the city indi- vidual scoring record. This is Johnny's last year and he will be greatly missed. Arthur Michel, center forward, is another senior and has played two years on the first team. Mike's ability to rush the opposing fullbacks and goalies provided many a thrill for the spectators. Miken, although not a high scorer, is rated by many as the scrappiest forward in the league. Gardiner Mason. left inside, in his first year as a regular, was a great help in the smooth offense of the team. Gard has scored a few himself and paved the way for many more goals. Gard is graduating and his place will be mighty hard to fill. Robert Brady, left wing, played his second and last season with Charlotte High this year. He has been instrumental in many victories because of his excellent passwork as Well as his own skill. Leon Bonfield, right halfback, played his first and final season as a regular this year. lionny's fine work in heading the ball on offense and defense was one of the highlights of the season. His speed and stamina UD saved many a goal for Charlotte. Vernon Gebbie, center halfback, is one of the best defensive halfbacks in the city. His fast charging and power broke up many attacks of the opposition. Vern was not merely a good defensive man, but his ability to feed the ball to the forwards made him also a good offensive back. Jack Reddy, left halfback, is also a senior who has finished his last game for the Green and White. Jack's ability to use either foot equally well broke up many of the opponents' scoring thrusts, especially when the game was close. His offensive strength proved valuable to the line in many games. Albert Frattare, fullback, was shifted from a halfback post at the beginning of the season and this change was certainly for the best. Al , though not a spectacular player, is a man to be depended upon to get the ball out of danger. Many an opposing linesman has felt A1's power and drive. ' John White, fullback, is a senior who is a two-year veteran of the first team. jack is a little fellow with dynamite in his feet, how- ever. He has broken up many a scoring threat in front of the goal. His steadiness and calm- ness were characteristic of his playing all sea- son. Courtney McCrary, was without question the outsanding goalie, on any team in the league. His swan dives and somersaults in trying to get hold of the ball thrilled all who saw them. Court savedmany goals by these tactics and we certainly congratulate him on his ability to take it. Fred DeMato, substitute forward, is a senior who ended his season in a blaze of glory! Fred's greatest day came in the play- off game with Madison when he scored all three of the Charlotte goals after he had re- placed Mason in the first quarter. David Bishopjsubstituting halfback, is a junior who will probably play onthe first team next year. Dave is a tricky player and proved a stumbling block to several teams this fall. Good things come in small packages. Robert McKissock, substitute halfback, is a sophomore who is a coming player. Bob is a dependable and tricky man. His accuracy on penalty kicks were a feature of the reserve league. l Fred Purchase, substitute lineman, is an- other sophomore who showed plenty of promise this season. Fred is an accurate booter with his left foot and his corner kicks are a treat to watch. He will probably be on the first team next year.

I Soccer .AX great Charlotte team finished the soccer season in first place to bring a soccer title to this school for the first time in ten years. XVinning the championship means more than just the fact that Charlotte had the best team in the league, it means long hours on the prac- tice field, the development of fighting spirit, and also the ability to display sportsmanship at all times. The fellows deserve a great deal of credit for their splendid showing and for the honor and prestige they have conferred upon the schoolg but the man who deserves the most credit is Mr. Tichenor, coach of this splendid team. His service is immeasurable by any set standard, and when one considers the spirit he developed in the players one can see what he is doing for them and for the school. W'e, of the student body, salute you, Coach Tichenor, and all the fellows on the squad, who did so well in the past season. We are proud to have such a group of fellows repre- sent our school and we congratulate you on the excellent manner in which you have under- taken and completed this responsibility. We hope that this victory will lead us to a brighter day not only in athletics, but in everything at Charlotte. VVe are only too willing to help you in any way we can to hasten the advent of this brighter day.

JEAN VAN DE VATE, 7B-8 Page thirty THE NVITAN 255 'S Safety Squad At the beginning of the term a leaders corps was organized in the Health Education Depart- ment. From this leaders corps Mr. Ernestone chose a squad of six to serve on the safety pa- trol and appointed Robert LaFave, captain. Since this original squad was formed, it has grown to eleven members but it had to be diminished to nine on account of the lack of posts and on account of the splendid co-opera- tion of the students. In order to be chosen, one must be a member of this leaders corps. The first thing the squad did was to have the street car stop changed and a new cross walk put it. Both of these were arranged so that they were directly opposite the south sidewalk of the school. Remember? It was great the way the pupils took a hold on this new system and made it a success. Officer Baglin came down here for the first week or so and gave us a start. Since then we have seen him once or twice. Of course, he would come down right away if we needed him. The traffic squad does only outside duty, that is, around the buildings and at the cross- walks. There is no connection between the traffic squad and the inside hall monitors and guards. It takes a man to stand outside on some of these bitter cold days and maintain law and order about the school campus. You can remember seeing those fellows standing at their posts, clapping their hands and stamping their feet, can't you? This law and order about the campus is simply a few rules devised to benefit the school: tlj No smoking on the school campus. QZJ No snowballing on the school grounds. C31 Use crosswalks whenever possible. C4j No riding of bicycles on the campus. QSJ Pupils are not to use the front entrance. Q6j Keep off our lawn. The squad served in trying to keep the crowd back on the sidelines at soccer football games. The number of hours of duty served by the members is recorded every day by the captain and at the end of the year, this service is acknowledged. Awards are given out by the Chamber of Commerce at the end of each term at a big celebration at the Chamber of Commerce build- ing. The members of the traffic squad are: Carroll McBride, Bob Black, Ray Finlayson, Charles Turk, Edward Scheck, Paul Gilbert, Lloyd Shupp, Sam Bogorad, and Robert La- Fave.

To start the plan moving, we held a profitable pep assembly, in which the students were given the chance to pledge their support. Then, for one week, they were given the oppor- tunity to pay the first installment. Since that time the money has been coming in regularly each week on Tuesday. T According to the linal figures, 649 students have paid up and are entitled to a copy of this annual. The home rooms which had the larg- est percentage of paid up members were: in Senior High-Room 309 and in junior High -Room 207 . After various financial plans had been dis- cussed in the home rooms, the combined stu- dent councils adopted the 10-10 Plan, and the home room representatives were delegated to collect the money in their home rooms. A IO-10 Plan committee was chosen from the student council. The members were, jean White, chairman and assembly, Sam Bogorad, assemblyg John White and Robert Wright, publicity, Gardiner Mason and Edward Cranch, collectiong Mr. Woodman, faculty ad- viser. Mr. Tracy was in charge of senior high collection and Mr. Courtney in charge of the junior high collection. The 10-10 Plan headquarters has been estab- lished in Room l01A, where it is possible to file the cards and envelops conveniently. The cards, envelops, and money were returned to this office after each Tuesday morning's col- lection. This term marked a victory, not only for the soccer team, but a victory over our financial dilhculties. The basketball team has been equipped with new, much needed suits, and the Hjliftlll has been financed, through the 310-I0 Plan. By becoming a member of the 10-10 Plan, the student derived many benefits which he would not have received otherwise. The plan oljferedz 5 soccer games ......... .......

At Charlotte we have motion picture pro- jectors and slide balopticans. To operate these machines and teach is next to impossible for teachers. Selected pupils known as licensed operators run these machines for class room teachers when they have passed a rigid exam- ination. VVe have several operators and sev- eral that are learning to become operators. ln the picture Roger Edwards is at the con- trols of the machine. He is at present a stu- dent operator. The present licensed operators available are: Elwood VVheeler, Arthur Reis, Edward Stowell, Newton Odell, Edwin Vtfard. George Graham, jane Haidt, Kenneth Henderson, mas- ter projectionist. If anyone, boy or girl, is interested in learn- ing to become an operator please meet in Room 235. after school on any day. The only requirements that are necessary is that you be in the ninth grade or above. Mr. Bennett has charge of all the visual education and operators, activities. For infor- mation see either Mr. llennett or Kenneth llenderson, who will gladly explain all you Wish to know. lfor those who wish to follow this Work there is an opportunity of serving the school by becoming' the operator of machines in the auditorium projection booth. .Xt present we have one girl operator but if any other girls are interested meet in room 235. Visual education covers more than just motion pictures. lt includes the showing of still pictures in a lantern, showing of pictures from magazines by opaque projection in front of class. and so on. Of course. the object itself may be shown if available. If the topic under discussion is on birds, birds would be shown in front of class or perhaps the class would go on a bird hunt. In this age of learning we can learn by seeing, so go to it! Ki:NN1'3'1'ii HENm:RsoN. School Projectionist.

The Scrap Book There is existing in the library a scrap book full of interesting facts. For in- stance: there is a scrap describing the remodeled Charlotte High School. It was finished in cream colored paint with window sash of a darker shade. Don't dis- pute the facts. The walls in the old school were cream-once. South and West With the fall arrival of new blood for the student body come two personalities deserving some mention. One is Dick DeLaney. There is considerable dispute over whether he comes from Chile or Brazil. By a voluntary move Miss Virginia Jackson and Miss Bernice Doehler head up the two sides of the question. Your guess is as good as anyone's. The other is Bill West. He comes here as the prin- cipal's son. Don't be afraid but make his acquaintance. As sized up so far he seems to be a regular fellow and won't tell everything he hears to Nat More History for Miss Goff The way the soccer team went and the basketball team is going, there are in- dications of another great case of where history repeats itself. Back in 1923 Charlotte held both Soccer and Basketball crowns. Look it up in the Scrap Book. What About Loyalty? The students of Charlotte High School are mighty proud of the fellows who won the soccer championship for their Alma Mater. They are proud, yet they are a bit anxious for the future teams of Charlotte. especially the basketball team which is now holding the spotlight. Everyone is hoping that this team will also present a city championship as a token of its loyalty to the school. But were the soccer players and are the basketball players truly loyal? Everyone has noticed and commented on the spirit of cooperation which was shown by the students in attending the soccer games. They were behind the play- ers every minute of play and cheered them on to hold the line when they were tiring. Surely this show of confidence should have inspired in the team a desire to improve itself, a desire to do its best to merit this trust. The players did do the best that they were physically able to do. But when training rules, which are made to keep a fellow at his best, are broken, naturally the players are not at their best and cannot play to the greatest advantage. The fact that Charlotte came very close to losing a number of its names in the' last quarter is an indication that something was wrong. That something was the idea of loyalty which the players possessed. This went only to the point where they could be loyal without denying themselves any of their imagined pleasures and after that, Well, what care we for loyalty or training rules ? The Witan Staff regrets that Sam Bogorad became ill just at the time that his work as business manager was to begin. We wish to thank Ray Grant who so ably carried out this task. The speakers in the guidance classes for this term have included Dr. lulius Zielinski, who talked about the opportunities in the Held of medicine. Miss Thurs- ton. from the University Laboratory, who discussed Etymology as a specialized field for girls, Officer Baglin, who discussed the police force as a vocation and inci- demly gave a great deal of information about types of civil service examinations. The program will be continued next term. Editorials i Page twenty-six T H E W I T A N .E I E .E Z: up 5 ref' 6 i 5 E I if H . . Championship There is an elusive thing called Champion- ship, which travels around to the various schools. This year, Charlotte has the honor of its presence. Championship plays no favor- itesg when a school is deserving of it, it comes. We have it now! Let's keep it! Help support all of the teams as you have the soccer team! Victory The name of this issue of the Witan refers not to the victorious soccer. team alone, but also to the victory that the Student Council has won over the previously -I existing state of indifference on the part of the student body. We've got School i Spirit. The success of the 10-10 plan is an indication of this. A Personality Jack White started out with three objectives in High School: first, to be in the senior playg second, to be student presidentg third, to be on a championship team. But these were not purely selfish aspirations-to each he desired to add some strengthening force, and he did. To the senior play he added the strength of his very fine acting. He earned the presidency, but not content with merely achieving his goal, he cast aside the self satisfaction which might have been the crown of lesser leaders, and threw the power of his talents to the work of excavat- ing School Spirit. He worked so hard to win his last ambition and more honor for his school that he did more than just make a championship team but gained a position by unanimous vote on the inter-scholastic team. ....... the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world This was a man ! Miracles and M instrels Science rules You can't make something out of nothing. Mr. Ogden, in his settings for the stage has proved however, that nothing can be made to look likie something. Take the Faculty Minstrel Show for instance-cracks being in or er. There were six endmen-that is six survived. Some one remarked that they were all nicknamed after every bird except the right one. Mr. Bird looked rather pale and wan after the show. He should have known better than to chew that deadly brown roll he had in his mouth. A feature of the evening was the skeleton dancers, one of them was dressed in a green coat. To people who have been wondering-Mr. Bennett doesu't really care whether Mrs. Bennett is Makin' any money or not. Mr. Westburg's worries about the Big Sad Wolf have subsided. He shot him and is now using his skin for a rug. Ask im. Cn the whole it couldn't possibly have been as big a financial success as it was a laugh success, the hall isn't big enough. THE VVITAN The Greenhouse Club :N ,J HE purpose of the Charlotte High Plant Laboratory is two-fold, to provide a laboratory for biology and general science instruction re- 'AAH lated to class experiments with plants, a source of supply for plant materials, class demonstrations of life processes in plants and observational study of structures, adaption and environment in relation to plant lifeg to provide extra-curricular club work in simple horticulture as a hobby or a vocation to any student intrested. Learning by doing is the keynote of all club work. Informal in- struction in common garden practices and culture of house plants resulting in the in- creased public interest in gardening are offered. The plant laboratory also affords an oppor- tunity to put in practice heretofore academic book learning with regard to the scientific method. The Greenhouse Club, opening in Septem- ber, l933, adopted the following organization plan. The pupil first registers as a proba- tioner. After two weeks, if his plot is approved by the membership committee, con- sisting of three captains, he becomes a begin- ner. After successfully completing outlined projects for beginners and by a vote by the executive committee he becomes a captain. Captains are instructors and are responsible for four beginners. Exceptionally able and interested captains may be elected to the posi- tion of experimenter, still a member of the club's executive committee. The club now con- Mr. Bennett, Greenhouse Club Adviser Page twenty-five sists of the following number of memberships: total number of members, eighty-tiveg ten pro- bationers, sixty-five beginners, nine captains, and one experimenter. The captains and the experimenter comprise the charter executive committee. At the election of the club's offi- cers the following names were chosen with Mr. Bennett as faculty adviser. Harold Weis- senburg, presidentg Doris Sala, vice-presidentg june Griswold, secretaryg and Margaret Hanna, treasurer. The Plant Laboratory occasionally provides cut flowers and ornamental potted plants for special uses of the whole school and operates the school propagation garden outdoors. Such activities are carried on by science classes under their teachers or by captains. Groups of advanced club members undertake such projects as building an indoor pool or the propagation of shrubs for school landscaping. JOE REARDON, '36. An Armistice Recollection QContinued from page 235 Birds have returned and are nesting in the dumb muzzles of the broken mortars. Old paths are being worn and little springs are seeking larger outlets. Twenty-five years from now Belleau Wood will have ceased to be a burning shrine of warning and will be a his- toric site. Down on a level field just before the wood are several hundred rows of white crosses. Each sad grim grave is now a special holy sepulchre and it seems to me that each day the souls of those dead come out, as did the men of Valhalla, and fight another battle against the heartless strivings of ambitious nations.

In his former school he was known to chew gum in class to the chagrin of all who had left theirs parked outside. tHe doesn't think girls who chew gum in class are ladies.j The sixth period he was Cand perhaps still isj accustomed to roaming around the halls lending a helping hand to his erstwhile friend and colleague, Mr. E. Remington. Of his family life little is knowng we do know, however, that he is married and has a son of tender years, Qwe surmise he is eightj. Mr. Jesse Ogden is an expert pinochle player, and we dare anyone to beat him. QHave any of you seen the playing cards back-stage?j He is also a talented musician. Have you ever heard him sing? If not, you've missed a Caruso in the bud, absolutely. In comic operas, the other players sink into oblivion. The stars of the performance, turn out to be planets revolving around this dazzling sun! He can also get hot-cha on the piano. Now we come to his literary accomplish- ments which are many. It is still a mystery to all how he can recite The Congo. One feels the rhythm of tom-toms and the weirdness of the jungle life when he elocutes. With equal ease he can spiel off Casey at the Bat, the tale of a great man who struck out. War is the source of many interesting and humorous discussions. Pop surely can tell good stories from that source, each one more interesting and absorbing than the preceding one. Get him started and you forget you're in school. T His Irish brogue is perfect, the light of Erin shines in his eyes. Spinoza is a great man, and we like him more because Pop likes him. In fact, it is said they are very much alike. If you get Dear Old Freckles 'Oh look at the spot on your nose, Oh just see how it shows, Says everyone passing along It's the old familiar song. They're only freckles but they seem to stand out They fairly seem to shout. They make your face seem cozferea' with spots. Every one of those little dots. You can scrub and scrub but they won't wash of Ewen though people laugh and scoff. They're moisture proof and they'rc on for good So it might just as well be understood. If ever you have your picture taken, Don't look twice-you're not mistaken 'There are your freckles in very plain sight Trying to steal the picture with all their might. HILDA LAVELL. A Budding Poet It's dijfcult to be a poet But how few people really know it. When I attempt to make words rhyme, It takes up all my precious time. First I scan the dictionary To find a word to rhyme with tarry Then, after turning page on page I seek a word to rhyme with Mage. I do this task for hours on end Until the thing l'd gladly rend, And when the poem is finished, I say What's the good. I'm no poet anyway. Eiuc STEVENS. Mr. Ogden started on his philosophy of life, he is good for an hour. In this we have tried to give the low-down on this amazing addition to Charlotte High School. We hope it will prove educational to the students and faculty, and not too embar- rassing to Mr. Ogden. But there is still a great deal for us to learn about Mr. Ogden. He has some talents that we are waiting for him to disclose. LILLIAN FABER. THE WITAN Page twenty-three 233 Snips N' Snails Suips in' snails N' pupfiy d0g's tails Thnfs what tom-boys are made of. The above jingle describes my sister ade- quately. Anna Mae is a tall, gangling child of ten years. She is nut brown with a tan ac- quired through a summer of hard and con- sistent playing. A nondescript colored thatch of hair Hops over her head and there is never a sign of a part--whatever the occasion- whether she is going to church. or is playing her hardest. Her eyes are of deep blue-and there is a dimple that plays hide and seek in her cheek. Eating, to her is just a necessity-not a pleasure. Her main dish is gobbled, her bever- age is gulped and two hours later she is unable to tell you what she had for dinner. It is a common thing-during a meal to hear a tan- talizing Anna Mae!! wafted into the dining- room and still more annoying to hear her answering, Yussaminit ! I don't want to give you the impression that she is never serious. lt is quite the contrary. On a dull, rainy day, when everybody seems to be away, she will play hours on end with her paper dolls or will be discovered reading a book. VVe very seldom hear a whining voice say, Mother what shall I do n-o-w-w ? She is not a super-genius in her selection of books, but she does like good books. just now her favorite author is Frances Hodgeson Bur- nett. Her second favorite is found on the non-fiction shelves in the library. These books are the fantastic fairy tales. Reading and paper dolls are just interludes. Sherevels in the sunlight, and trees. Trees are her specialty and with years of climbing behind her she has managed so far to come down feet first, except when the inclination be- booves her to come down skinning the cat. Anna Mae is not a rarity in these days. Every neighborhood has someone resembling her in character and gymnastic inclination. OH! It is simply wonderful to be ten and have the precious possession of health. plenty of sunlight and TREES! -- ELIZABETH HILL, '34. An f fy ll'-wk alavffg I 4 1 .. 7 fflflt fx 'rf Armistice Recollection DUSTY road winds, unconcerned as to its direction, across waving, rolling fields towards what seems to be just a grove of trees-a small forest. It seems to have no sig- nificance, this path and this apparent goal, yet it is the combined memorial to a great defeat and a great triumph. This forest is the shrine of Belleau Wood, The natives of the province used to call it 'HVV ood of Fair Water. They always thought of its cool, green rivers and the creeks that meandered through dipping trees. They used to think of the friendly paths that tripped be- tween cathedral-arched trees and the birds which flitted minstrel-like from perch to perch. They remembered the beautiful godliness of its bower and the holiness of its solitary nooks. But since then all has been changed. Since then men who had not seen this beaeuty or who minded it not, moved by selfish interests, turned the trend of man's thoughts from beauty to hate. In 1914 hell broke over the world and a river of blood flowed over Europe. Belleau Wood was the turning point in that river and like bends in all great torrents it became bleak and ill shaped from the great erosion of the current. The battle was over. The Wood of Fair Waters was no more. Since the day of that great struggle nothing has been changed. A government has set it aside as a memorial to its heroes. Rusty guns lie just as they were thrown by gagging meng swords are now just where they were when grasping, clutching fingers discarded them to clasp a gasping throat or to reach heavenward. Broken cannon point grimly in same direction as they did fifteen years ago. The cathedral arched trees are black and brokeng the rivers and nooks--stinking, slimy shell holes. Yet over this scene Time is waving his obliterating wand. As from the human mind he ever seeks to push such tragic memories so does he ever try to take away those scars of wounds man sometimes inflicts upon the beauty of his world. Uver the rusty cannon, green sprouts are learning to climb. Quiet moss is gradually burying the once flaming swords. tContinued on page 255 Page twenty-two THE WIT-AN 33 Did you kiss one? No, they ran away. Then I can't give you a quarter. But you promised it to me. Why didn't you run after them ? It's no use. They can run faster than I can. But I tried and you promised me the quarter. R Sometimes the boys delighted in shooting stones at him to tease him. He offered no resistance, merely standing his ground and arguing. Why do you shoot stones at me P Because we want to hurt you. Why do you want to hurt me? I don't hurt you. We don't like your face. I can't help that. See. that stone hurt me. Does it please you to see me in pain? Flickering shadows. Boys moving in the ruddy glow of a bonfire. Deep green pine forests in the distance humming the Swan Song of the sun as it sinks to rest behind the boundless rolling prairie of lighter green rye. Eyna and the boys were enjoying the tang of freshly roasted potatoes. , Say, Eyna, we'll give you a quarter with the Czar's head if you carry these coals in a corner of your jacket to that tree. But the coals will burn me. No, they won't. You just run to the tree IC KK and we'll give you the quarter. Eyna gathered the coals into his jacket and started off. In a moment he was ablaze. The boys rushed to the rescue. Too late! He was taken to the hospital. The next morning the lawyer visited him. Eyna lay there, his face drawn. No other sign of pain. We'll put those rascals in jail. No, Master, don't put them in jail. They were good boys. They treated me with roasted potatoes. Don't you feel any pain ? Yes, a great deal. VVhy don't you cry ? Will crying lessen the pain ? No. But everyone cries when in pain. If crying does no good, why cry? No, Master, don't put them in jail. They were good boys. They treated me with roasted potatoes, he murmured--- Slowly a long procession wends its sorrow- ful way over the road toward the cemetery. The wind moans through the trees. Above it rise the sobs and prayers of the people. And I shall see him face to face .... From the grass darts a lark and rises higher and higher into the air, its silvery notes bear- ing Eyna's spirit up, up into the clouds. A lark has sung his requiem. H U It U ELEANORA IVANSON. Mood room was filled with about foul x ,vu hundred young people They were I 'vi ' l sitting on hard wooden chairs arranged in straight rows. There seemed to be four distinctive, fairly equally divided groups. In the front of the room a man having a very distinguished bald head was talking in low tones to a younger man who was seated at the piano. Suddenly, as he mounted the platform, the laughing and chat- ting ceased, the girls' hands instinctively reached up and pulled off their hats, and every- one sat up away from the backs of the chairs. Yes, this was a rehearsal of the Thanksgiving Chorus. The piano boomed in the silent room, as beautiful soprano voice tinkled a tribute and the choir answered. It sounded awful!

The leader hoping, despairing, yet cheering them on, trying to get across to them the mood of the music. The house was one of the so-called better class. The day could not be mistaken because of the indescribable spicy atmosphere that per- vaded. Four almost grown-up children were seated around a bridge table. Their yawns spoke of a good time the night before. Dad was seated in the favorite chair reading the paper and remarking upon various items of interest.

But there is something rare in Russian nature-white birches reared against the deep blue sky-the sky so far, far away.

A veritable oasis of civilization in a forest of fir trees. So rises the village of K-- before my mind's eye and in the center of the cobblestone Commons a lone figure stands. VVhenever I pass the Square I see him in baggy trousers with one suspender over his shoulder and the other one hanging at his right side. He is constantly yanking at this side of his pants to help the left suspender do the work of two. The blouse is non-descript-of no certain color or style. A dingy carpenter's cap covers his matted hair, shading his strange eyes and his harelip from the corner of which saliva trickles. Hands in his pockets and barefooted, stands Eyna, a Jewish lad in his teens. Whence he comes and why he is there no one can say. Day after day I pass him loaling in the shade of a white birch and day after day he shouts: Master Bodah, you will give me a quarter with the Czar's head ? I have no quarter. I have only a nickel. No, I can buy nothing with a nickel. But if you had a quarter, would you give it to me? Certainly. All right. Thank you. Here the conversation ceases, to be repeated the next time he gets a glimpse of me. l passed him one day and he begged for a quarter with the Czar's head. Master Bodah, I am hungry. Why don't you get some work to do ? But I don't like to work. I never have worked and I don't know how to begin. I gave him a quarter. What folly-I was to learn! To this day, I can hear his high piping voice across the Square as I chanced to pass witha group of friends. Oh, there is Master Bodah. He gave me a quarter with the Csar's head last Tuesday. I like him. His best friend was a lawyer by whom he was trusted with small errands. A great sport among the boys was to try to kiss the girls strolling in the Square. Say, Eyna, I'll give you a quarter with the Czar's head, if you can catch a girl and kiss her. Enough said. Eyna was off after a group of girls. He could put up a iight if necessary but never would he chase them. Page twenty THE WITAN '63 NATIONAL Q3 9 f - x HoNoR SOCIETY .... x T f fiflh,,,' HE National Honor Society at Charlotte High School was inaug- urated in 1929 under the auspices of the Monroe Chapter. The mem- bers are selected by a faculty com- mittee on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character and service. To be eligible, a per- son must be in the upper third of his class in scholarship. There is an animal school dinner, usually held on the University Campus, for the mem- bers of the society and their parents. The various chapters take turns in preparing the program for this event. This year, Charlotte will be expected to do it. In some of the schools, special activities are undertaken by the National Honor Society but in our school, to date, it has been purely an honorary organization. Members of the so- ciety who are, at present in school are: january 1934: jean White, Beatrice Killip. Burtis Dougherty, Beverly Wilkins, Edward Cranch, Margaret Wilbur. -lune 1934: Margaret Hanna, Harold Kent- ner, Dorothy Nicol, Eleanora Ivanson. January 1935: David Bishop, Dorothea Clicquennoi. Post Graduate: Blanche Gauth- ier, Rena Parratt. On Writing 'I' is always a good practice to give yonrselfuhve or six years' encour- agement in the hehef that some day you will be another George Ehot before attempting to put your in- coherent ideas into either prose or poetry. livery dog has its clay and you, inglorious au- thor, will have yours. I am writing for some such power as the Delphic Oracle to give mc a sign, and am, meanwhile, indulging in such idle diversion as writing this essay. During these trying years you would be well advised to read detective stories. Carolyn 1Vells' All at Sea is an excellent book with which to begin. Soon you will want to create a Philo Stone of your own. This is always a good sign, authorities say, of either apoplexy fif the idea is spontaneousj or insanity fif it lingersj If you overcome this stage in your develop- ment-1 did-you should turn to western stor- ies. Not purely occidental but limit your loca- tions to Utah, Nevada, and Texas. This will give your later hero a courageous aspect. Sen- timent must enter into your future Nobel Prize Novel, so turn to such authors as Lutz, Dell and Norris. By the time you have sunk this low it is advisable to engage a crane fBaker's pre- ferredj in order to extract you from the liter- ary mire into which the above mentioned au- thors plunged you. You will then he willing to ask-very timidly-the advice of your teach- er or parent on which would be the best books for you to read. Correlative with reading, in order to possess a thorough technique in writing, is taking long walks by yourself. Nature is revealed to you in all its esthetic light if you can manage to get out of doors at least once at the beginning and end of each season. Spy apples and raw carrots also give one food for thought. Heretofore my advice has been rather mis- leading. To be more specific-one must pos-- sess a keen understanding of human nature in order to write. Study your environment- particularly your relatives. You might boil this information down to uncles only. Develop an aversion to uncles. This is done by ask- ing them to relate their personal experiences. CContinued on page 335 T H E W I T A N Page nineteen Scholarship Awards 1933 Charlotte High School won distinction in scholastic circles last year by the number of scholarships obtained by individual members of the two graduating classes. Milan Brace, of the func class, was appointed to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Scholarship for four years and received 31600. He also won one of the scholarships awarded in Monroe County by the University of the State of New. York amounting to 3400. Thus, he won, by his own effort, as an undergraduate at Charlotte High School, 32000 toward his college education. Gchring Cooper, former president of the Students' Association, was awarded a special scholarship at Smith College offered by the Rochester Smith College Club. In addition, she also won a 3250 Smith College scholarship making a total of 3750 toward her first yeaifs expenses, with a possibility, if she maintains her record, of applying for further scholarship funds. Mary Van Kesteren, former president of the Students' Association, was grant- ed a 3400 scholarship for her first year at Elmira College. Since registering at the college she has been given a special library scholarship of 3175, making a total of 3575 toward her first year's college expenses. If she maintains her record it is pos- sible that Elmira College will grant her further funds to complete her course. I udith Pownal! was granted a. scholarship of 3300, which amounts to the tui- tion for one year, at the University of Rochester. In addition, she also won one of the state scholarships amounting to 3400. Harrington Chase was awarded, by the University of Rochester, 3200 toward his first year's tuition at that iadhat institution and Raymond Dudley 3150. The University of Rochester also maintains scholarships for those who show improve- ment in their first year and other types of scholarships for which these boys may be able to apply at the end of their first year. This makes a total of 34375 awarded graduates of Charlotte High School last year, for their excellence in scholarship. I If 'lx U If XV ITAN '63 SCHOQL. AWA Q U JUD!TH POW NALL.

Lil- lian llilclreth, Lois Koster, Viola Starken, and Manelta Siekleco. All hail to the vertebrae of this class and every class to come! BETTY l'l1LL, RUTH Gmioicuson, Class H 1'.vf0r1'a1z.r. l , ..., .wU Sam, and some more of us as freshmen THE WITAN Page thirteen 2335 I 1 Class History ,, Fmfq N anuary 1929 a thrilled bunch of g,.f,nQ Charlotte High Sthool from 39 5-Jwggg 47 and anywhere else NVe fioated along Cat homej on a sense of im- portance because we were at last grownupl' enough to be away from the fond parental eye for so long, but were quite crestfallen to find that we were considered the kindergartcners of Charlotte. NVe fell into the new routine in a short time and the next two years followed with hardly any breaks. Gil. :li ., i . VJ- N kids poured into the rickety old Q ,ig i Q ' L . L ' Graduation from junior to senior high school was the second big milestone in our career here at Charlotte High. The highlights of our program were an oration spouted by our petit president, Raymond Crantg the class prophecy delivered by Burtis Dougherty. The Gates of Hell' a phrase in a poem recited by Ruth Gregerson gave her some acute and burn- ing moments of embarrassment. And last but not least our precious diplomas were present- ed to us by our most beloved Prof Butter- field. VVC celebrated part of our graduation in june by going to Cobourg. The result?-the boat ran out of lemons and the fish had plenty to eat! Disregarding school colors our l-2 girls' basketball team blossomed out in orange and black uniforms-and were runners-up for the championship. tMost of the boys found shorts and girls' basketball quite interesting that yearj. We had our first high school party in December and made the magnificent sum of ten dollars. Because of a clash in dates, after attending our sophomore party at the practice house, we very graciously bestowed our presence on our intellectual inferiors, the freshmen, who were having a party across the street at the same time. The question that caused much debate and comment at the time of the Jubilation num- ber which came out when we were in our sec- ond year, was NVhy was Burt Dougherty re- moved from the VVitan staff after he suggested the name Iubilation number ? All along the way we met financial success in our few attempts at money making. In our IH-l term we had a substantial profit and our first orchestra. Our Junior Prom was held at -12 school. lt was a social success but finan- cially it left something to be desired. Jean VVhite, Beatrice Killip, Marjory VVillis and Ruth Gregerson brought further honors to our class by winning first place in the inter-class basketball tournament. Irene Gemming, Anne Rawlinson, and Betty Hill were the first of the class to be nominated to the Commercial Honor Society. Jean VVhite and Beatrice Killip were elected to the National Honor Society. The commercial girls held a skating party and skated from Stonewood Avenue to Seneca Park, ate their lunch and staggered back home. Ask Gwen Stevens what is a good cure for blisters. She oughta know!! Burtis Dough- erty and Margaret Wilbur were elected into the National Honor Society during this term. As we progressed through our four years of high school, many of our members dropped out along the way. The elopment of Genevieve Lewis stands out, for there are not many classes that can boast of an elopement.

Q keg-,JZ dents Association I started some- fdQ-fi if I thing like this : VVhen I first came to Charlotte twelve years agoHAt this the assembly laughed, but I quieted them by telling them that at that time I attended the first grade and not this high school. I continued, I watched the senior high pupils and admired three types of them, an actor in a senior play, a president of the student body, and a member of a champion- ship team. I have always had tl1e desire to be each of these three persons and when we took the soccer championship a few weeks ago, I had accomplished my third desire. I had set three goals and made them all. I am going out into the world and in my nineteen years of living I have observed three types of people, and have set three goals in life. They are health, happiness and a mil- lion dollars before I am forty-live years old. I believe I can attain these higher standards U as I attained the minor ones. That it can be accomplished has just been demonstrated. Health and happiness have already been given me, all I have to do is maintain them. As to the third desire, I have no idea as to how I will get my million, but I will have it in 1959. Come up and see me sometime, if you want to borrow a nickel. Of course I realize, as I have in high school, that I can't sit back in an easy chair and expect these things to come to me. I must keep plug- ging for them. Don't think for a moment that we took the championship in soccer by loaling. We put everything we had into the games. You too can be the person you admire. Mere- ly set a goal and work toward it. Don't work for something two inches ahead of you, or at the end of the rainbow, but strive toward some- thing reasonable and worth while. If you work earnestly for it you're bound to win. Look me up in 1959, for I'll be interested to know how you made out. We'll have dinner together. JACK WHITE.
