No time was lost,i the students immediately beginning work, start ing off in fine style and it is to be hoped that they will continue to do i as well for the remainder of the ' school term. It is the intentions of I the class to make a brief study of jail departments of newspaper work : which will include a study of news- ! paper stories, thsir writing and the various phases of journalism up to ' and including editing which will be stud'ed later in the year. Mr. Owens explained here that the term “News ; Story” did not necessarily mean a long narrative that technically a I few fines forming a story is con sidered a news story. ' While the main object of the class 1 is to get cut the Pointer each week, i'his however does not imply that ! (he work will all be done by this i ‘ group. To the contrary contribu- tioms .at all times thoughout the year will be gladly acsepted from i oifir’de rourres. ] This course will count , a unit to- wrrds graduation only. Perhaps i some of the cider members of the I Echocl remember the splendid work ; accomplished by the johrnalism class ^ of IP22-1923. eMmbers of earlier classes in jcurr.alism include, .lames Pagan, in American Boy world-wide „„ - rt'vv contest, Walter Crissman of the University of North Carolina, .and iUady Cates, who is now with (ha High Point Enterprise. make (himrs homelike for old at tendants of this coni’crence,. STUDENTS SUPPORT POINTER The senior class of 1920 gave to the High Point high school the print ing press. This is the fourth year of the issue of the Pointer. ?135 has been collected. Thi means that 400 members of the student body have payed and it is the best wo, have had from the student body of any year. In order to keep up circulation it has been distributed in all the schools of the city. This year efforts are being made to raise the subscrip tion list to such a point that almost everybody will b,e paid subscribers as well as having many patrons of grammar schools. Heretofore the price has been 50 cents a year. Last year the small amount of only 25 cent subscription money was receiv ed. This year a special drive was planned and carried out With the subscription price at 35 cents a year. This was done in order to influence more people to take it._ The first issues serves as a hand book; it gives the full organization of the high school. The collateral reading list for the English course was publisher, showing the num ber of books in the library and the number of units given for each book. The editors want to make this year a success and without the sup port of the student body this activ ity will fail. So the Pointer de pends on every individual student. Mr. Owens said, “The manner in which people have subscribed and are still subscribing for the Pointer is an evidence of the special school syirit in high school this year.” AN APPRECIATION Never before in the history of the publication of the Pointer have the students responded so liberally with their subscriptions as they have this year. Already more than 400 stu dents have paid their subscription money. Your loyal support is appreciated for it makes it possible to continue the Pointer and helps greater aims to be accomplished.

Smith, “If you ever catch Sambo forgetting you may have him.” ' One day two years later Sambo was riding home from market, a burst of flame appeared at his horse’s head, and the devil appeared. He said “Sambo, do you like eggs?’’ Sambo answered, “Yassa, boss.” Years V^assed. Mr. Smith had died, “^amiio was old ,and feeble. One day he was bringing a load of pro visions to his aged mistro.ss. • He was half asleep and nodding drows ily when a burst of flame appeared aT’fl the devil spoke tho one v/ord, “How?” Sambo said, “Scrambled.”
