The students of the High Point high school have.shown a very com mendable spirit during the first school month. The students seem to have at last grasped the real, tangi ble thing called desire for learning. They have realized that school ex ists for a definite purpose—to pro vide students with an education that will help them to accomplish the worthwhile things in life after he goes out into the world. And, hav- in.g realized the purpose of educa tion, they hove resolved to take ad vantage of such a great opportunity, and the result is what you nave seen . in the high school during the past four weeks. An evidence of the earnestness of the students have been evidenced in the number of students who achieved the honor roll for the first month. In the freshman class there are forty four students on the honor roll. The sophomores had the greatest number, of honor students, fif.y, while the iunior class had the small est number; twentjj five. Twenty- six seniors attained a sufficient av erage to place them on the honor roll. The spirit in regard to these things have been excellent. In regard to the ball games, how ever a very close watch must be brought to bear upon our enthusiasm, so that our enthusiasm may not run away with us and make us do and say things which will reflect against our school. We must at all times be as courteous to a visiting team or players as we would be to guests in our own homes. The world judges us by our treatment of our fellow men. Isn’t it worth while? The Hi Y club met last week for the first time this year and installed its new oflcers. They are as fol lows: Dick White, president; Ward Packer, vice-president, and Chas. Salsbury secretary-treasurer. The club last year w^s compose;! entirely of seniors. They ele-ted teii boys from the junior class to be their successors for the year. They are John Wood, Paul Ruth, Ralph Foust, Charles McManus, Irvin Ingram, Jack Crowson, Dick White, Charles Salsbury, Ward Packer and Harold Welborn. It was decided at this meeting to p'ect ten members' from the senior class and also ten juniors. The elec tion of juniors being necessary so they may carry on the work of the club next year. _1.hc hlkln.g club of the li. P. H. S. hiked out in the country Thursday afternoon. Five girls were interest ed in adding an extra three points toward their monograms. They hik ed three miles, chaperoned by Miss Augusta Brewer and Miss Anderson. The club has decided to go on an outing some Friday afternoon and take something to cook, which will make the occasion more enjoyable. The advisers are anxious for all of the club members to go on the hikes. If the tea-chers toke this time, every member should cooper ate, they think. THE ORATORICAL CLUB An oj'atoiical club has been orgar- ized in the high school with twelve charter members. Miss Bensdn, Mr. Patrick, and Mr. King have .agreed to act as advisers for the club. The requirements for membership are . that a student must pass a majority The Hi Y club has a bright out-1 of his studies and make an average look this year. Although the pro ject has not been decided upon there are several fields of work that the club could ■ well accomplish. The Hi Y club is a national or ganization and has a great work before it. The High Point Hi Y is going to do its share of the work in upholding the motto of all the Hi Y clubs which is to create, main tain, and extend throughout the school and community high stand ards of,, Christian living. THE POINTER The green freshman was telling a long tiresome joke that was so old it had long whiskers. When he had finished the bored senior said: “Son ny, that is the same joke that old Noah told to the two hyenas on the ark and started them on their laugh. A campaign for new subscribers for the Pointer started, at the Gram mar .schools in the city last week. Students have been talking in the ■interest of the Pointer at the Gram mar schools. since last Wednesday mcrn'n.g. .A’ d the schools are' showing fine spirit in the work. Many student? have promised to take the paper. The papers will be delivered to the schools every Monday. This year the paper will carry news of the schools in every issue. A reporter has been appointed for each Grammar school. Several stu dents at fhe schools think that it is lust a paper for the high school. The Pointer is the paper for the en tire school sy.stem. It is a part of the school system. In the high school about 4C0 stu dents have paid for the Pointer. This number is large for a school of this s'ze. However, more students should take the Pointer. A school of this size should have a circulation of 500' cr 600 among its own students. Papers of other schools have a greater per cent of subscribers from students. Students haye shown their snlen- did school spirit by entering whole hearted into all the activities of the school. Consequently, the authorities are confident that the school mem- of 75 per cent on his English.
