Hi COURTESY “How sweet and gracious even in common speech Is that fine sense which men call courtesy! Wholesome as air and genial as the light. Welcome in every chime as hreath of flowers— It transmutes aliens into trust ing friends. And gives its owner passports round the globe.” Of all the admirable qualities brought before us on the self rating cards in which we have been interested recently, none is to be more desired than court esy. , Courtesy is the considera tion of the needs and wishes, bf others before one’s own. It im plies a recognition of the other person’s dignity and rights. It is treating another as though that other were truly his ideal self. Cojurtesy is perhaps more important in school and at home than anywhere else, because in these relations people are brought more closely together, and need the protection of court esy. True courtesy is not some thing artificial, it is the expres sion of thoughtfulness for oth ers. Good feeling and a desire to be of service to the other person underlie all rules of courtesy. The Al-addin’s lamp of success in business is court- esJ^ It costs nothing and buys everything. As teachers and pu pils, coming in close contact with each other every day, we have a wonderful opportunity to put into practice true court esy. We are all human. It is so, easy to forget at times and do and say things we regret •after.wasdSf This,happens when we are not thinking,,first. of .the • qthqr7.;pct^n, Emerson says? that ,manners the h^ppy way. of :doing things.'.'Ilofw much . happier the world wouifij be..jf; ,w>9 .would .reruembejr this, apd,, '..ehy.ays dp - the- courtepps act: , (rand pay, tjfe cpiiriepus /thing.} —Mary , Harrell.: • POINTERS TRIUMPH OVER SALISBURY SCORE 14-13 The Pointer’s trip to Salisbury last Saturday night, January 18, meant a victory, the second of the season. Outpointed during the first half oi the contest, and with the score tied at the end of the third quarter, the Blue and White quint worked fast and won a hard earned victory by a one point margin, 14-13. Ingram, by his fast floor work and accurate shooting, was easily the star of the .game, scoring all the points registered for High Point, except one field goal, which was scor«d by My ers, right.guard. The Pointer team displayed some excellent pass work. The Salisbury quint put up strong opposition. Safrit and Coltrane tied for high scora hbnors with Gwyn and Floyd following, respectively. Salisbury more evenly matched the Pointers than any opponents met this season. Lino-up and Sumamry: -High Point Ingram 12 Foust Perdue Myers 2 Johnson Substitutes: Pos. F. F. C. G. G.

Everyone remembers with pleasure the talks they contributed to the high school la.st year. The students should fdCl very grateful to the principal, L. R. Johnston, who is making it possible for the pastors of the various con gregations to bring us some wonder ful messages. These ministers have offered to give us their talks because Mr. John- stbn feels that their will help to make us better men and women because this generation will be the men and v'omen of tomorrow. The student body’s motto should be “Grasp a mes sage from, each talk and practice it.” Our cooperation is needed. Will we make them feel that they are. weloonie or make them feel that th?y.are"imposing? It depends on the individual., . . . , These ministers, are , ordained ;f God. .
