Whaddya say, gang? The Junior Class held its monthly meeting in the auditorium Friday, March 20. ' The meeting was called to order and devotional exercises were turned over to Miss Kathleen Snyder. The class decided upon sweetpeas for their class flower, lavender ana white being the class colors, and because sweetpeas may be purchased any time of the year. The class song was also decided upon at this mectin.g. The song was written by Ruth Farlow, Herbert Combs and Doris Harris, members of Room 24. The first number on the program was a talk On parliamentary rules by Mr. Patrick. This talk was an inter, csting one and was greatly appreci ated, as it was much needed. The second number was a story by Eliza beth Brown, which was enjoyed by everyone. The last number was the school song by the class, m CHAPEL PROGRAM GIVEN Fo"'.s that have never been known to own a pencil of their own have been sporting big six inch pencils for the pest we^k.

Fran c's Evans the girl from the west, a'd NolTe Hayes the girl from the south. The program was t’noroughly en joyed by cverj'one. A CORRECTION Owing to a mistake made in com- positiort last week the Pointer car- ’•■rd an nd staging that the Young Men's Store were tie n"entr f " .‘^chloss Bros, and Fashion r.av*'. Clothes. TJie Poirfev 'v’shen le. correct th^s error, as the Carnon-Fetzer Co. is the sole agent for Schloss Bros., and Fashion Park Clothes in Hifh Point, and not The Young Men’s Store as W'as stated. Sonintimrs errers such as this shn Lv nnd i-o nnneticeil until the pap'r out. he—c"cr rarely. The pressroom sincerely hopes this issue of the Pointer meets everyone’s approval. Some of you know' why, the rest of you will know next week. * V » The pressman is the kind of a guy who thinks “The Isle of Chance” is a gambling game. * * # A letter from the pressman’s buddy: New Orleans Thursday Dear Bud:— Gue.ss y'ou think it’s funny I’m way down here. I decided to leave Baton Rouge, and was standing on a street comer wandering just what I want ed to do when a man in a new lookin’ roadster passed by. The man looked back and asked if I wanted to ride. I told him yes real pronto and lioppc » in. He said he was goin’ to some little joint, I forget where now, and asked if I w’as goin’ that far. I told him it didn’t make no difference where as I didn’t have any engage ments for the evening. He laughed and we started ridin’. He W'as a nice lookin’ chap, and said he was from Mass. He had pleny of good cigars, too. I smoked three of them. When we got to W'here he was goin’ he said he was goin’ in and eat, and asked me if I wanted something. I didn’t see no I kind of holel or nothing but a livery ■ stable, but I told him I wouldn’t I mind a bite as I hadn’t eaten since ' day before "I'esterday. We went I around the corner to a cafe and 1 late .$1.95 worth-of fairly good steak i and two nieces of pie that was kinda i stale, but tasted mighty good. I I felt almost as good as if I’d hava ! eaten hearty. The man wouldn’t I hear of my paying for the dinner, I so I let him pay for it as I didn’t I b.nve but three cents no way. f I found that tied up in a handker chief on the sidewalk, j In about an hour Ihe man said he I wa? ready' to go and asked me if I I wanted to go on to New Cleans. I ; '-.aid it didn’t make no special dif- i ference and w:e started on the w'ay. I Yours roaminglv. I “The Sawed Off Runt.’* I P. S.—Don’t write to me until 1 I send an address. ! ♦ * # I It grieve-, US much to w'rite these I W'ords, I But the pressroom “vie’’ is gone. ] For now in peace the thing doth lay; j It has p’ayed its last sweet song. I Records and needles, a thing of the past. Litter the tables and floor. But the pressroom “vie” has gone its way. Never to play no mere. , Sweet memories th.at come out of j the past to haunt: O can we never forget. But the spring on the pressrooui ' “vie” is broke. And now we can only regret.
