CCSprite not rendering when made in a method from an external class - objective-c

Question

I'm sure this is really obvious to someone, but this simple thing is really frustrating me.
I have a class I made called Class_Sprite, which is a sub-class of CCSprite.
I have a method in this class that is supposed to both create the texture for any given instance of Class_Sprite, and then move it to (200,200).
The program runs in the sim but all I get is a black screen.
I was able to render the sprite directly from the layer class.
Here are the files.
Class_Sprite:
#import "Class_Sprite.h"
#implementation Class_Sprite
-(id)init
{
if ((self = [super init]))
{
}
return self;
}
-(void)make:(id)sender
{
sender = [Class_Sprite spriteWithFile:#"Icon.png"];
[sender setPosition: ccp(200, 200)];
}
#end
Class Sprite header:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "cocos2d.h"
#interface Class_Sprite : CCSprite {
}
-(void)make:(id)sender;
#end
HelloWorldLayer.m (where the method is being called)
#implementation HelloWorldLayer
+(CCScene *) scene
{
// 'scene' is an autorelease object.
CCScene *scene = [CCScene node];
// 'layer' is an autorelease object.
HelloWorldLayer *layer = [HelloWorldLayer node];
// add layer as a child to scene
[scene addChild: layer];
// return the scene
return scene;
}
// on "init" you need to initialize your instance
-(id) init
{
// always call "super" init
// Apple recommends to re-assign "self" with the "super" return value
if( (self = [super init])) {
Class_Sprite *pc = [[Class_Sprite alloc] init];
[pc make:self]; //here is where I call the "make" method
[self addChild:pc];
[pc release];
}
return self;
}
// on "dealloc" you need to release all your retained objects
- (void) dealloc
{
// in case you have something to dealloc, do it in this method
// in this particular example nothing needs to be released.
// cocos2d will automatically release all the children (Label)
// don't forget to call "super dealloc"
[super dealloc];
}
#end
And finally the header file for HelloWorldLayer
#import "cocos2d.h"
#import "Class_Sprite.h"
// HelloWorldLayer
#interface HelloWorldLayer : CCLayer
{
}
// returns a CCScene that contains the HelloWorldLayer as the only child
+(CCScene *) scene;
#end
Thanks for your time

Try changing to this in Class_Sprite.m:
#implementation Class_Sprite
-(id)init
{
if ((self = [super initWithFile:#"Icon.png"]))
{
}
return self;
}
-(void)make:(CCNode *)sender
{
[self setPosition: ccp(200, 200)];
[sender addChild:self];
}
#end
And use it in HelloWorldLayer as follows:
Class_Sprite *pc = [[Class_Sprite alloc] init];
[pc make:self];
[pc release];
