I I i % ~— ^ ^ HIGH POINTERS SNATCH GAME FI H.P.H.S. SOCCER TEAM TIES ALL-STARS IN THE The Black Bisons ran roughshod over the Burlington eleven to win by a score of 39 to 7. Although High Point’s team was badly crip pled, their playing was t(W fast for the Burlington eleven. Bryant led the scoring for High Point with three touchdowns, Thomas made two, and Hinkle one. Hill did some good work at left quarter. Cook for Burlington made one. Burlington kicked off and successful in their efforts of hold ing the Marlettemen for a while, but High Point soon carried the ball down the field for Thomas to make a touchdown. From then on Burlington was kept on the defence most of the time. In the second quarter Bryant took Burlington’s punt up the field for thirty yards. He thra made twenty yards more, and ihomas carried the ball across for a touc down. A few minutes later Bryant galloped forty yards around e end. When he was given the ball again he rushed across the line tor High Point’s second touchdown. _ During the second half Captain Cook for Burlington grabbed a kickoff to make an eighty-yarcl dash around right end for their lone tally. Webster kicked for the extra point. This seemed to inspire the High Point eleven for with long gains they rushed the ball down the field and Bryant scored his third touchdown. Toward the last of the game Hinkle, High Point’s flashy rig end, caught a pass to make a forty- yard run for the last touchdown.

MORE THAN 200 GIRLS ARE WORKING TO WIN HI-SCHOOL MONOGRAMS HOCKEY SCHEDULE So far only four hockey games have been scheduled. Later in the season more games are expected to be played. Very probably two will be played with Greensboro, ine schedule at present is: „ rri Salisbury November 2, there Winston November 9, There Salisbury November 15, Here Winston November 16, Here Two hundred and nineteen high school girls are working to win athletic points toward a monogram this year. Of this number, the freshmen prove the most ambitious, having eighty-two representatives. Sophomores come next ^ with seventy-six, followed by the iuniors with forty, and the seniors with twenty-one. This group met Miss^ Louise Shipman, Tuesday morning, Oc tober 2, to hear the point system more fully explained, and also to register that they might begin working for their letters. Miss Shipman said that 200 points are necessary to win a local letter. Of these 200 points, 20 must come from training, 10 from citizen ship, and 25 from hiking as a mini mum. The athlete must take part in at least two sports; she must be passing three-fourths of her school- work for three months previous to the awarding of the letter. The other points necessary to total 200 are optional. For every additional 100 points earned after the letter is secured a star is given. These points count for the state mono gram. A state letter is awarded to those who can get 400 points. Of these 400, 15 points must come from citizenship, 50 from hiking, 15 in swimming, 40 in training, and 5 points in correct posture. Not more than 200 points can be earned in any one sport. The remainder of the 400 can be taken from any of the activities suggested in the point system. Passing three-fourths of her work for three months pre vious to the awarding of the letter is also required for the state mono gram. A star is also given for each additional 100 points. Miss Shipman believes that it will be possible for a great number of girls to win their state mono- OLD FACULTY MEMBERS ENTERTAIN NEW ONES WITH A CAMP SUPPER A Clever Dramatic and Musical Program was Presented for Their Amusement The high school teachers “packed up their troubles’’ along with their dignity on Thursday afternoon, fastened them securely in their steel lockers, and then set out on a lark of an expedition to the Y. W. C. A. camp, where the old members of the faculty officially and socially welcomed the new teachers into their number. The hut was turned into a hastily provised theatre where a program rivaling Keith’s vaudeville in vari ety and originality was presented, if not gracefully, at least graciously by the teachers. Mr. Johnston and Mr. Spencer opened the program by singing a duet. Airs. E. Al. Shipman followed by giving two selections in mock- opera style. The latter proved too much for her emotions, and Mrs. Shipman broke down and left the stage in tears. The next number, a one-act play —“The 50-Dollar Job”—was a work of dramatic art both from the standpoint of composition and presentation. This was a takeoff on “The 12-Pound Look” by Sir James Barrie. The burlesque was written by Miss Louise Hunter. Miss Louise Shipman, majestic in a high-top silk hat, played the part of the professor newly elected to teach m the high school.^ Brooks Sloan, girlish and charming in a fluffy organdy dress, took the part of the professor’s wife, while W. C. King in a chic sport model flannel dress looked and acted the part of the typist. The concluding number was a musical comedy entitled Morri son’s School for Scandal” or “Mil ler’s Adolescents.” Robert Mar shall, principal of this wonderful school, sang his way more or less tunefully from the opening exer cises to the close. The pupils. Misses Penelope Morgan, Lucy Collins, Mabel Tucker, Bevie Wilson, and Mr. Stookey, m turn recited their lessons in meter and rhythm. The class routine was interrupted by the appearance of Miss Al bright, impersonated by Miss Meek Beard, who was having trouble with the “Big Sisters” and desired the help of the principal. Mrs. Jackson, otherwise Miss Louise Alcorn, sang of the trials of the office force and announced the “close of day.” Air. Owens, the janitor, lustily rang the school bell, and with much gusto announced the change of classes. The theatrical atmosphere was further maintained by the presence of a five-piece uniformed orchestra which played intermittently during the program. 4 he musicians were Allsses May Meador, Carrie Smith, and Alary W. Abernethy, combers; Aliss E. Hunter, drummer;_ and Aliss Helen Derrick, harmonica— but lacking harmony. Misses Clinard and Preddy acted as ushers, and between numbers sold “choc’late covered a’monds” to the audience. An outstanding feature of the evening’s entertainment was the appetizing supper planned and served by the food committee, Aliss Tucker, chairman. The program was arranged by a committee of Air. Alarshall, and xMlsses Abernethy and Morgan. HIGH POINT TEACHERS HOLD FIRST MEETING NEARLY 800 STUDENTS SUBSCRIBE TO POINTER DURING THE CAMPAIGN (Continued from Page 1) room; freshman, Aliss Preddy s and Miss E. Hunter’s rooms. Although the actual campaign has closed, subscriptions are being added daily. The Pointer has a large mailing list this year. Many alumni and former teachers of High Point high school still have an interest in The Pointer as a record for school happenings. Mr. Wilson, instructor of mech anical drawing, designed and made the charts which were used on the bulletin boards to record the num ber of subscribers. BAND AND ORCHESTRA WELL UNDER WAY FOR A SUCCESSFUL SEASON (Continued from Page 1) show up well in contests, concerts, and other public appearances. This will be the third year of such an or ganization, Air. Andrew Butler, who preceded Mr. Hale, having directed the band, and Miss Vir ginia Frank, the orchestra, in 19p and 1928. Neither the band nor the orchestra was entered in the state music contest in Greensboro until last year, but each made an excel lent showing and both won places in the final contest then. Although several excellent musicians were lost by graduation, new material is showing up well, and Mr. Hale hopes to fill the vacant places be fore long. At present class instruction is offered during school hours one period a week on the following in struments : violin, viola,^ cello, string bass, cornet, clarinet, saxa- phone, trombone, mellophone, French horn, baritone, alto, flute, piccola, tuba, oboe, drums, and tympanne. Two band rehearsals and two orchestra rehearsals a week are held from 8:15 a.m. to 9:15. The band now numbers approximately 50, and the orchestra 45. Besides participating in the state music contest this spring, these musical organizations have other plans of interest. The band will play at several football games later in the season, and at all home basketball games. Both the band and the orchestra will present con certs to the public during the winter and spring as was the cus tom last year. With the spirit of cooperation and willingness to work which are being manifested by the musical students. High Point high school anticipates an organization which will be even better than last year’s. The instructors and directors will also be important factors in this success. Although both these direc tors are new members of our faculty they are doing excellent work with the musical department. Miss Webb came from Winston-Salem where she taught last year, and Mr. Hale from the Bush Conser vatory of Music in Chicago where he studied. NEW CLUBS OFFERED INTEREST STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL LIKES (Continued from Page 1) the history of chemistry will be studied and various experiments which are not in the textbook will be performed. Next comes a club in which ; 11 athletic boys will delight, the tumbler’s club, sponsored by Mr. Ellington. The work of the tum bler’s club will center on practice in handsprings, hand balancing, etc., and the study of various forms of stunts. A traveller’s club, sponsored by Miss Lindsay, will interest all would-be globe trotters. Dilferent parts of the earth will be studied in detail; the people, their customs, manners, etc. Probably Byrd s polar expedition will make a good subject for learning more about an almost unknown section of the world. Air. Alston has kindly offered to sponsor the radio club. Boys and possibly girls who putter around and tinker with a radio will be in terested in this club. However, only sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are passing their work creditably may join. Its purpose is to become familiar with the nature, principles, and construction of the radio. The discussion of some phases of electricity and the study of more promlent men in the field of the radio will be made. There may be a nature club later on, which will have as its sponsor, Mr. Sloan. All the old clubs which ;.re ex plained in the handbook will con tinue to function. There are some changes, however, in the sponsors. Mrs. Baylor is now sponsor of the art club. Mr. Andrews is advising the oratio club; as directors of the science club. Misses Greenwood and Henderson are acting. The High Point Teachers’ Asso ciation held its first general meet ing since the opening of school on Saturday morning, October 6, In the high school auditorium. Air. Andrews, superintendent, told of the composition and complexity of the organization to which those present belonged. The following new officers were elected: Miss Patte Jordan, president; Air. Whit ley, vice president; and Miss Edna Morganthaler, secretary and treas urer. It is only the ignorant who de spise education.—Publius Syrus. MORE STUDENTS LUNCH IN SCHOOL CAFETERIA THIS YEAR THAN LAST (Continued from Page 1) from 350 to 450 students are fed each day; and that much effort and thought are given in the plan ning and preparing of menus. Mrs. Baylor Is always delighted to have patrons and friends of the school to have lunch in the cafeteria any day. She will also welcome any suggestions from students and teachers concerning their favorite dishes, and will be glad to correct any fault found with the food. Vegetable soup and creamed potatoes seem to be the favorite dishes, according to Mrs. Baylor. All dishes are sold for five cents, except meats and a few desserts, which are sold for ten cents. Two rolls and butter are sold for five cent and also ice cream and two kinds of milk. In talking to many dieticians in the state Mrs. Baylor said they re marked about the disorderly con duct of the boys in the cafeteria; but she said that she has never seen a more orderly group than that in H. P. H. S. She stated that she loved to mix and work with the students in the cafeteria. —Dot Smith JUNIOR HIGH STUDENTS PUBLISH SCHOOL PAPER (Continued from Page 1) right is the goal: “Every junior a subscriber.
