Not by the senior class, nor any one of the four reg ular classes, but by a certain group of people. These spirited school citi zens have put much into the library. To qualify for membership return a book to the library about two weeks over due. You are then a member of the society. If this year’s junior class will caretully think over the following it may find an inspiration for a project next ear. 1. Have you over been resting nencefully on a class and have the' bell clang on you? The racket'is very disturbing. At the end of each pe riod, why not a whistle that would wheezo gently ? 2. The following is the result ot much deep thought—electric pads for every chair in chapel. The result would be very satisfying next Jan uary. 3. The changing, of classe.s is ac complished with goda speed. The speed could be increased at the din-I ner hour. A moving stairway coulq be installed at a moderate price. '1. A primping parlor would cut down a great deal of confusion in the class room. First let me assure you that this is not an editorial. Then you can go on and read it knowing that it’s not a sermon about I something somebody thinks we ought to do, but something the writer of which, wouldn’t have the slightest idea of doing himself. And speak ing of editorials reminds me of one I read in a pre-Thanksgiving num ber .of the Pointer stating that Thanksgiying was near at hand (as if we didn’t know it) and that we should enjoy ourselves to the utmost during the short holidays. Then the writer pleaded with us to come back to school with the determination to dive in and study harder than ever and to make better grades than ever before et cetera et' cetera. Bunk! That kind of an editorial makes me j sick. I’ll bet the guy who wrote it I hasn’t carried a book home since’ Thanksgiving. But I don’t si'ant to make this an editorial about editorials. The Point er has to be filled up with something and this ought to take up several inches. It is only two weeks until June 6 if anybody should ask you. You know| what happens then—or you know one ‘specific thing that hapepns on that glad day. If I were to judge others by myself, though, I’d say tHite were several things we aren’t plumb sure will happen. About pass ing on all exams for instance. It’s! worrying me right much. ! As soon as we pass (which is somewhat jumping to conclusions) we’ll graduate, and then we’ll be alumni of dear old H. P. H. S. Which fact causes me to wonder how it would feel to be an alumni. And I wonder if any of our fair classmates will be flitting about boo-hooing into a handful of lace at the-thought of leaving? I’m going to count all I see. And when I get a diploma, and it is then my privilege to turn away for all times my wrinkled (?) brow and to close forever the old door that has creaked reluctantly open each morning for nine long, brain- racking months to admit one who i.- even more reluctant to enter, I am going to carry the diploma home and after nailing it to some spot on the wall where it will be the last thing I see on retiring and the first thing I see on awakening, I’m goinc to paint underneath it in black, bold letter.s the. following: ALL VIS ITORS AND BURGLARS BE-' WARE! IT TOOK FOUR LONG YEARS TO EARN THIS! And then I’ll get Charlie Manus or some other noted arti.st to-draw underneath that a picture of yours truly deeply en grossed in -a Latin or history book which I think would be a very good joke. —Ted Thompson. -u know that guv F'at wvitc; tin I aiagtaphics about the Pressmen well he ain’t s’dumb but he’s spoof ing th readers. I ain’t traveled none in seven Years. I I ain’t never been in Noo Orleans. lu know I been tryin’ to get him , to come'and live with me buA I , guess he ain’t educated enuf. ■ ! . they classify bootleggers in Church directories. The Scribbler Kid. GIRL RESERVES GIVE BANQUET The Girl Reserve Mother and Daughter banquet, held at the Y. W. C. A. Friday night at C:30 was a scene of beauty and harmony A fine spirit of good will and friendliness prevailed at this meeting. The banquet began by Ruth Cli nard, president of the club, giving a short address of welcome. This was responded to by Mrs. E. M. Shipman, who told of the meaning of the three candles which were the centerpiece for the tables. The tables were tastefully decorated in red roses and the candles used were quite effective. The program for the evening was heard over the radio. Miss Semmie Herman gave Health Ideals for 1925. Thi.s v/as followed by messages from (iifferent countries to the Girl Resen-es of High Point. Next, Miss Helen Reitch sang “Mighty Lak a Rose” Following the quartette from the local Glee Club sang a selection. This qua”ette was composed of Elizabeth Welch, Doro thy Hoskins, Helen Reitch and Mar garet Gurley. Next Miss Dorothy Holt whistled “Dear Little Mother o’ Mine.” Concluding the program Mr. Norman Fidler sang “Mother Ma- chree.” Mrs. Jim Kearns then told the club of the co-operation that would come to the club in the future and of the pleasure in being with them then. The banquet closed with several re ports. Here’.s hoping H. P. H. S. has a winning track team next year. Feet run in many families. * * ♦ The boy who stood on the burning deck had nothing on a certain sen ior boy. Rome one wrote “Stop” in his geometry book la.st month, and he ha.sn’t turned past that page yet. Morganton, N. G. Mister Journalism Class: If Ignorance was bliss Youall would be busted. You Guys is so ignor- .ant the Pointer is red in the bug hou.se here. They Won’t*.let us read anything else cause your paper i.s! in our class. But I savvy you. Your paper is so old its got feather.s growin’ onta Joe Ked.'tor’.s cars It is generally known that famous personages attempt to elude report ers. A member of the journalism class made several futile attempts to secure an interview with James the janitor, early Tuesday morning. Since James launched his ship on the sea of the business world, a 5 the manager an’d owner of a shoe shinery, he has become ouite fam ous and is reported to yank a “mean shine rag.” Every afternoon seniors can he seen in conference with cerikiin teach ers. These seniors are not trying to spend all the time possible with their teachers, before leaving, but are threatening them with how muc!i trouble they will cause if they don't pass that teachers subject. Mr. Owens put a crimp in this bv telling them that if they fail to pas's ho doesn’t w'ant them down here in tha way for another year.
