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. Members of the 1933 Soccer Squad Captain :Xlbert Cason, right wing, is a Junior and has played three years on the first team. His own ability and great team work have been one of the features of all the games this fall. These two facts make him the logical choice for captain of this championship team. John Ragan, right inside, was one of the

THE WITAN Page thirty-five 33 most spectacular players in the league this year. 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.

THE WITAN Page thirty-three '66 SNOW At night when snow is on the ground, When street lights are lit, . The snow will sparkle like diamonds round, And it's icy, just a bit. BARBARA DECKER, 7B-10 ICY WALKS Icy sidewalks I detest, Up you flip and down you rest, To run on them is quite a test. I like dry days by far, the best. GEORGE WHETEN, 7B-8 SGCCER Soccer is one splendid game, And at Charlotte it's a wow, For they won the final game And they are champions now. RICHARD VENESS, 9B IN WINTER AT LAKEDALE HILL We needn't go to Switzerland, Or seek Lake Placid Hills, We can have the fun of millionaires And enjoy winter's sports and thrills. There's a place we go when days are cold, To get our winter thrill, To slide and glide and skii and ride Down the side of Lakedale Hill. WILLIAM WHITNEY, 7B-8 SNOW FLAKES Like crystals dancing in the air, The snow flakes flitter here and thereg Along the water's icy edge, Upon the window pane and ledge. JANE SICKELCO, 7B-10 SNOWBALLS Snowballs are white, Snowballs are round, Snowballs are fun for play, But snowballs are pancakes under our feet. DOROTHY Fox, 7B-10 Has any one found my old brown bag, That I' carried and worshipped so true? It contained but one thing, A most valuable thing, A beautiful picture of you. RUTH GERNON, 9B My Opinion of the School This is my first year in Charlotte High School. I came from number 42 and I thought that was the best school in Rochester, but when I entered Charlotte I realized I had been mistaken. I learned to obey all the school rules in number 42 and will try to do the same here. I am proud to say I am attending Charlotte Junior High School. HAZEL KING, 7B-10 l,l.i. i- On Writing fContinued from page 205 From one I received a stirring account of his war experiencesg another narrated on what he called his jaunt to India. The later account I found to be very interesting until he showed me a pair of horns from the sacred ox of In-- dia which he had purchased and which I de- sired but was refused. Along with this aver- sion will come a complete understanding of how your uncle's mind works. Your higher nature will comprehend a complete view of his shallow one and in this way the inevitable vil- lain will be born in your mind. Your study of human nature will continue the rest of your life. You will become cynical as time goes on. By the time you feel ready to write you will be able to present to your public any character-from Oliver Twist to Iago. They will not applaud you for this. You may ask-quid nunc ?-they will answer, give us back our classic ! Mood QContinued from page 225 of the radio wishing Mary would hurry with the meal as the Mitchells would arrive any minute. As she turned the dial she caught the bell-like tones of a soprano. She paused a moment as she heard the chorus chanting the response, Praise God for work. As the soprano sang again the paper was slowly but noticeably lowering. The young people paused, cards in mid air. Mother hastened to adjust the volume and then quietly folded her hands. As the last chord of the final response, Praise God for rest, died out, there was silence, broken finally by the announcement of the Mitchells' arrival. MARGGET Hnwms.
