An active THE Trade With the Merchaatf paper edited by an active school POINTER Who Appreciate Yoar Child Thru the POINTER VOL. 4. HIGH POINT. N. C., MAY 16, 1924 No. 29. JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION IS A SUCCESS EDUCATION DAY ATTRACTS NOTICE MR. SYKES SPEAKS C ON “MOTHER” A Mother’s Day proffram was given at the chapel exercise last Thursday morning. “Mother Machree” was very beau tifully sung by Chas, Salsbury. A talk, “Mother,” by Mr. Tom Sykes was enjoyed,'. He emphasized the important part a mother plays in a child’s life, the many little things which she does for him that go unnoticed and apparently .unap preciated, the love and the prayers which go with him wherever he is. He told the students: not to be ashamed ;of loving their mothelrs, nor of showing that love, for she was the truest friend they had or ever would have. He said that sometimes mother sees it best for them not to do a certain thing, and that nine times out of ten she was right and in years to come they would be glad they followed her advice. A solo, “Little Mother of Mine” by Dorothy Hoskins was rendered in a beautiful way. With J. LeGrand Everett, grand master of the grand lodge of Ma sons of North Carolina, in charge of the ceremonies, the cornerstones of the two dormitories at High Point college were laid Wednesday after noon in the presence of more than 3,000 people, including Masons and Methodist Protestants from all sec tions of the state. In opening the program on the c college grounds. Grand Master Ev- verett, who is a citizen of Rocking ham, declared that Masonry had al- •ways favored education and there fore it was appropriate that 'the Masons should have an opportunity to take part in the laying of founda tion stones for such a splendid in stitution. It was on invitation of Numa F. Reid Ladge of High Point, he said, that he had assenfbled the Grand Lodge of North Carolina in special communication for these ceremonies. On. the order of the grand mas ter, Grand Secretary Wilson read the list of articles placed in the two boxes in the ceremonies. There were copies of the High Point Enter prise, The Morning Herald, roster of the lodge here, program of Educa tional Day, a list of the grand offi cers of the grand lodge and the en rollment of the schools for this year. The first prospectus of the college was also included. Dr. R. M. Andrews, acting presi dent of the college, made a brief address in which he requested the Grand Master to lay the corner stones according to the ancient cus tom. He discussed briefly the aims of the college, declarrng that it was the desire of those supporting the institution that it would enable young men and women, to whom it is dedicated, to catch a new vision and to better attack the problems before them. The grand lodge assembled early this afternoon in the lodge room here and marched in the parade from the city to the college grounds on the Greensboro road. Taking part in this parade were not only the Masons and Knights Templar in uniform, but the school children and other organizations, led by the_ Elk’s band which supplied the music for the occasion. This afternoon at 4:30 o’clock there will be a baseball game between the Masons of High Point and the mem bers of the Masonic bodies of Win ston-Salem, weather permitting. The program will close tonight with an educational rally in the new OAK HILL GIRLS GIVE PROGRAM Last night at the meeting of the parent-teacher association of the Oak Hill school the Acorn corps of the Girl Reserves gave a most in teresting and attractive program. There were 16 girls taking part, 12 being members and four new ones who have not yet been initiated. They wore effective white uniforms with blue ties and arm bands, car rying out the Y. W. C. A. colors. The girls came in in triangle for mation singing the Girl Reserve song, “Following the Gleam.” The program which they carried out showed the various parts of Girl Re serve work, who they are, the in signia and the system of honors. A little play was given showing the life of a Girl Reserve. A business meeting was observed, with the president of the Acorn corps. Miss Lois Burton, presiding. Girl Reserve recreations were shown. Service was exemplified by one of the members with a Thanksgiving basket. Miss Julia Dorr read “ A Legend of Ver mont,” typifying the spirit of the Reserves in taking part in programs. Miss Virgie Sawyer, advisor of the Acorn corps, gave the devotionals, and an interesting part of the pro gram was the explanation “What the Code Means to Me.” The club gave songs and yells and their recession al was “There’s a Long, Long Trail.” Those taking part were Miss Vir ginia Sawyer, club advisor, and Misses Katherine Whitaker, Dorothy Vernon, Gladys Meredith, Myrtle Seagrave, Kathleen Cline, Almeta Byerly, Roberta Meredith, Nina Car- roll, Maggie McCarter, Estelle Cates, Pauline Binkley, Lois Burton, Ruth Rutledge, Margaret Fagan and Odessa Sexton. city theater. At that time addresses will be delivered by prominent Ma sons and educators. Recent revelations in the political life of the nation have made it im portant that the 'institutions of higher learning lay the foundation “to make a man fit for his vocation rather than fitting him to his vo cation,” Dr. H. L. Freeman, presi dent of Adrian college, Michigan, declared in his address this morn ing. “Man’s fitness for a task is really being put to a test,” said Dr. Free man. “The idea is not only to make him successful as a banker, lawyer or merchant, but to enable him through being either of these to make his contract with life for the building of better society.” The duty of an institution of high er learning is not only impart uni- (Continued on Page 3.)
