Tuesday, Oct. 16, 1928 THE POINTER Page Three following: National Honor So ciety, Audubon society, Hi-Y club. Girl Reserves, Latin club, French club, Spanish club, K club. De bating club. Masquers club. Sketch club. Science club. Commercial club, Cherokee Nature club. Home Economics club, and Quill and Scroll. The Quill and ScroU is one of the most important clubs. It is a national honorary society for pupils who are outstanding in editing, writing, and business man agement of newspapers. The faculty of each school seem to be very much alike, both giving long lessons, but making them in teresting. The Pointer and Blue and White—the Knoxville high school paper—are alike in size and ar rangement. Knoxville high also published a students' handbook. The seniors published a book The Voice containing all school activi ties. This annual in many respects resembles a college year book rather than a high school publica tion. Knoxville excels in scholarship, in military training, and in ath letics. In 1925 it was the second best high school in the South and it probably is now. Because of the opportunities offered in Knoxville, I was re luctant to leave. Judging, though, from the possibilities of High Point high school and grateful for the kindnesses shown to new students, I feel that I shall soon be as proud of this school as I used to be of K. H.

The Black Bisons tied the fast Salisbury team in a hard fought battle at Salisbury Friday after noon, the score being 12 and 12. High Point had a strong defence line but Salisbury let loose with an aerial attack for several nice gains. Hill and Hinkle scored touchdowns for High Point with Saleeby and Goodman making Sal isbury scores. Neither team seemed to be able to score in the second quarter when Salisbury started a passing attack and Saleeby received one to run twenty yards for a touch down the hick for extra point failed. Salisbury took possession of the ball in the second half and at tempted to hick but High Point blocked the attempt and Coltrane grabbed the ball.

A WATER SCOMN The water scorpion is an aquatic insect belonging to the “bug” family. This insect is sometimes called an “electric-light bug” be cause it has a habit of leaving the water at night and flying around electric lights. It has semi-horny wings; that is, they are not soft and filmy as those of a grasshopper; neither are they horny and brittle as the wing-covers of a bettle. These wings are one of the char acteristics which mark the water scorpion as a member of the “bug family, or hemiptera. Another characteristic which marks this “bug” is its beak, or proboscis, which is as tough and springy as a blade of Damascus steel, and as deadly to other insects, as a poi soned spear would be to a man. The adult water scorpion is not less than two inches in length. At tached to its abdomen are four legs with which it propels itself through the water. The two re maining clawlike limbs greatly resemble the outstretched arms of a human being. It is with these that the scorpion captures its prey. —Philip Carpenter FROM INIIV T«K. The Black Bisons, Junior, took a well played football game Thurs day, October 11, from Trinity High eleven by the score of 27 to 18. Trinity made all their scores in the last quarter. Sizemore led the scoring for High Point with two touchdowns, while Hubbard and Morton made one apiece. For Trinity, Payne made two and Craven one. High Point made a touchdown in short order following the kickoff. With nice gains by Hubbard and Morton the ball was soon within striking distance and Sizemore went through the line for a touch down. The pass for extra point failed. In the second quarter High Point rushed the ball within ten yards of the goal line but lost the ball on downs. Trinity kicked and again the ball was carried down the field for Hubbard to make a touchdown. Sizemore went through the line for the extra point. High Point scored again in the second half when Morton inter cepted a pass to dash around right end 60 yards for a touchdown. Sizemore again bucked the line for the extra point. A few minutes later Sizemore scored the last touchdown in his usual line bucking style and Copeland received a pass for the extra point. In the last quarter Payne took High Point’s kick and ran eighty yards around right end for a touch down. The try for the extra point failed. High Point kicked off and again Payne grabbed a pass for another long run around right end and his second touchdown. Trinity kicked off and a moment later Craven intercepted a pass for a sixty-yard dash around right end for the last touchdown. Both tries for the extra point on Trinity’s second and third touchdown failed. High Point Trinity Hubbard LE Cozzen Steed LT Richardson Andrews LG Davis Wood C McDowell McLaurin RG R.

NEW UNliillSEO IN BOYS GYM CLASSES Tumblers Club for Acrobats Is Supervised By Mr. Ellington Boys who are taking gymnastic work this year are required to wear a school uniform. The jerseys are white and the pants are blue with a white strip down the side. The boys are required to take a shower after their period of physical education. Towels are furnished for the very small sum of fifty cents a semester. Mr. Spencer, head of the boys’ gymnasium work, stated that there are nine different sections taking “gym.” The sections number from twenty-five to fifty boys, and each section is divided into four groups. A boy is chosen as “Squad Leader” of each group. The Freshman and Sophomore boys meet in the “gym” two periods a week. The boys are now practising on soccer and tag football. Later in the season games will be played between the classes. Each Fresh man class will play every other Freshman class, and the Sophomore classes will follow the same policy. At the conclusion of the games the winning Sophomore section will clash with the victorious Freshman section for the championship. Another phase of the athletic work is the tumbling club which is being supervised by James Elling ton. The tumbling club is for those who are interested in acrobatics. The club has ordered books on tumbling which will help the mem bers very much. The boys are now studying the theory of tumbling and nationally known tumblers. Some of the feats the boys are learning are: cart-wheels, part flips, hand springs, hand stands, and snap-ups. Many Have Won Distinction in Several College Activities. Two Plan to Continue Studies Elsewhere POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IS FURTHERED BY USE OF BULLETIN BOARDS Each year finds many former students of High Point high school in the graduating classes of colleges all over the state. Fifteen of the thirty-six members of this year’s senior class of High Point college were graduated from High Point high school in 1925. The winning of a degree is in itself a notable achievement; but some of these young men and women have, during their four hears, added glory to glory by winning honors in such fields as oratory, journalism, music, and art. Antonios Antonakos has been associated with both college pub lications as business manager of the Hi-Po, and editor-in-chief of the Zenith in ’28. He was president ot the Aesculapins and was awarded the scholarship given by the busi ness men’s club to the most promis ing junior. His brother, Theodore Anton akos, likewise was connected with the publications as business man ager of the ’27 Hi-Po and of the '28 Zenith. Both the Antonakos brothers are planning to continue their medical studies. Margaret Davis has displayed her business ability as treasurer of the junior class and secretary of the Day-Student Council. Two have achieved notably in public speaking, Claire Douglas as an inter-society and an intercollegiate debater; and Keith Harrison, win ner of the state oratorical contest in ’27 and an intercollegeiate orator at Elon in ’28. In addition Claire was president of the Forensic Council and is at present president of the Day-Student Council. Keith Harrison also was class treasurer in ’27, chief marshall in ’28, and at present holds the office of president of the senior class. Dorothy Hoskins who makes music her specialty, was manager of the Aeolian Choir of ’26. She is now president of the Nikauthan Literary Society and the Pan- Hellenic Council. Margaret Gurley, being skilled in the use of pen and brush, was art editor of the ’27 and ’28 Zenith. She is vice president of the senior class. Edwin Hedrick, of a more ath letic turn, was manager of the football team in ’26, and captain of the baseball team in ’28. He was also president of his class in '27. The other seniors who were former H. P. H. S. students are Helen Barker, Elder Clark, Irene and Inez Reynolds, Graydon Ring, and Lois Smith, all candidates for the degree of A. B. MR. ANDREWS STRESSES NECESSITY FOR VISION (Continued from Page 1) prise. He overcame seemingly in surmountable obstacles and ac complished what had been called impossible. The speaker went on to say that although Americus Vespucius named this continent after himself and said nothing on his map of Columbus, only students of history know of the origin of the name of the continent, but every one knows who Christopher Colum bus was and what he did. Mr. Andrews concluded his talk by reading a beautiful tribute to Columbus taken from Carlyle’s “Essay on Labor.” The bulletin boards in both Miss Lindsay’s and Miss Clinard’s rooms are being utilized In the political campaign now being waged by the classes in senior history. The boards have been divided equally, thus allowing both parties fair chance for publicity. In Miss Lindsay’s room, large pictures of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates hold the center of attention on their particular boards. Some pictures of leading political men of both parties have been posted also. Grouped around these are clippings from newspapers and magazines. A cartoon of the Republican elephant, drawn by a student, holds a conspicuous place among the Republican candidates. At the close of the contest held in Room 106, the judges decided in favor of the Republican board. On Miss Clinard’s bulletin board, there are several poems written by her students and a large picture of Governor Smith, drawn by a girl of her class. Both history teachers are grati fied at the interest displayed by the students and feel that the pupils have been greatly benefited by it. SOPHOMORE OFFICERS ARE NOMINATED MONDAY A committee of sophomores met Monday afternoon to make nomi nations for sophomore class officers. The following slate was prepared: President: Jane Hess Weaver, Frank Sizemore, Gilbert Clinard. Vice President: Ruth Poole, Mild red Stewart, Gateword Shipman. Secretary Treasurer: Marie Payne, Helen Marshall, Alton Spillman. Cheer Leader: Robert Baird, Emma Carr Bevins, Ted Thomas, Lucille Clodfelter. .'I(| The committee was composed of Howard Kelly, Edgar Snider, Sarah Denny, Virginia Perdue, Lindsay Caldwell, John Payne, Reitzel Colt- rand, Annabel Sowers. OVER A HUNDRED TRY FOR BLUE DIAMONDS Judging from the number report ing for try-outs for “Blue Dia monds” about a hundred students seem to think that they can act well enough to be starred in the Dramatic Club’s main attraction. Mr. Marshall gave an idea of what was to be expected of the ap plicants. The attention was mainly divided between the “screaming” maid, the “brutal” Mrs. Franklin, the “beautiful” heroine, and the “handsome” hero. Tryouts for the “hen-pecked” husband will be con ducted Monday. The talent shown seemed to be of very good order, and judging from tryouts “Blue Diamonds” will be a big success. Twnety-six out of the one hun dred applicants have been chosen for the second try-outs, which are going to be held Monday afternoon. H. S. PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION MEETS Children can fool the parents but the parents can’t fool the children. If a speculation shows a profit it is known as an investment. Faithfulness to a few things renders us master of rriany things. GIRL RESERVE CLUB HAS MEETING THURSDAY The girl reserve club held its regular weekly meeting Thursday morning. Margaret Andrews had charge of the devotional, after which the club dues were collected. The following officers were elected: Violet Weaver, membership chair man; Adele Hicks, program chair man; Genevieve Sheetz, social chairman; Mary Elizabeth Harllee, service chairman. They then chose members for their committees. Miss Vivian Matson, Y. W. C. A. secretary, made a short talk to the girls, after which each girl intro duced herself. Mrs. J. W. Clinard was elected president of the high school parent- teacher association at its first meet ing on Thursday, October 11, in the high school library. The program for this meeting centered around the value derived from school activities other than regular class room work. Mr. Johns ton discussed the benefits of the clubs, and assembly programs. Miss Anne Albright told of the work being done in the home room and of the plans for home room programs now being made by a committee of teachers. The work of the student council was then taken up by Miss May Meador. Mrs. C. F. Tomlinson discussed the parent’s appreciation of these activities. Fortunate is the man who thinks pretty well of himself—and who doesn’t? Experience In managing men doesn’t seem to count for much in the art of managing women.
