100 PER CENT FOR THE POINTER!
In 1921 The Pointer was judged the best paper published by a
high school in North Carolina. Nadie Cates, the Editor-in-Chief at
that time, was selected as the best editor of the best paper.
When this paper was begun in 1921, it was kept up by the com
bined efforts of the staff and the student body. For the past few years,
however, the student support has dwindled to such an extent that
The Pointer came to be wholly dependent on the literary efforts of
the Staff for news or stories or humor to fill its columns. Financially
it was practically dependent on the amount of advertising solicited.
This year with The New Pointer, we hope to equal or even
better the record made seven years ago. The New Pointer is larger,
and it is printed on an excellent quality of paper in type that is clear
and readable. These added characteristics should be such as to induce
every member of the High Point High School to want to fill its columns,
and to contribute to its financial support by subscribing.
This is the last issue of The Pointer that will be given free of
charge to the student. The increased cost of publication makes this
prohibitive. As Mr. Patrick announced in chapel, sudents may get an
entire year’s subscription to The Pointer for 50c. COME ON EVERY
BODY! OUR AIM IS 100 PERCENT. CAN WE DO IT?
The sale of the football tickets has, so far, been very satisfactory
according to reports around the school, though no official report has
been made. Six hundred tickets were distributed among the home room
treasurers, and, no doubt a large number of these have been sold, and
others will be, as the drive is still on. The sale of adult tickets has been
gratifying. Each year a number of adult season tickets are mailed to
high school patrons in the city. This plan was followed again this year,
and already a good number of checks have been received.
Students, we want this sale to be more than just “satisfactory.”
We want every student to have a season ticket, turn out for the games,
and show our team that we are behind them whole-heartedly.
Well, High Point High School is entering upon the third week of
the fall term. Every one should by now be adjusted to the environment
of school again. Vacations should be set aside, and every student should
want to contribute to the scuccess of this school year by earnestly
going to work, being a lady or gentleman at all times, giving thought
and care to the building and grounds, and have uppermost in his mind
the welfare of his fellow students. When a student accomplishes this,
he or she is becoming really educated.
—Raymond Ritchie
This week we are sending copies of The Pointer to alumni in the
hope that they may still feel enough interest in H. P. H. S. and “find
it in their hearts” to want to get the news every week from their Alma
Mater. We feel sure they are going to support us in this campaign
with as much “pep” as they did when here themselves.
Westling is one of the best body builders in the athletic line.
Besides being a good exerciser, it aids in developing speed, control, and
quick thinking. What do you say, gang? Shall we accept the challenge
from Durham, Winston and Greensboro?
It is hoped that the Orator’s Contest among North Carolina high
school and college students will interest the members of this student
body sufficiently to have an excellent representation in the contest.
Since the publication of the handbook was made possible through
the generosity of those who advertised, the students and their parents
are urged to patronize those who patronize the high school.
