Page Four THE POINTER Wednesday, Jan. 30, 1929 Senior History Answers Why did the Puritans come to America? To get their children from mo rality. To purify the Indians. When was Coolidge inaugurated? November 31, 1928. The Senate presides over the house. What was one of the results of Revolution? Split language. What was one of the results of Whiskey Rebellion? Taught people to dislike whiskey. Who is a Senator from North Carolina? C. B. Overman (of High Point). Junior Wm. Caxton printed the New England Primer in 1485. EXAMINATIONS There are seasons of the year which awaken in us a sense of days gone by. There are two periods which bring to us practically the same thoughts. Last week was one of these. The other will come, alas, too soon. Exams, both mid-year and final, remind us of the last time we failed. Some students were fussing about where their nickels went. Even though they used about four large mimeographed sheets they couldn’t see it that way, since they had to write some on their own paper. Anyway, we can’t blame them for wanting to sing “That’s where my money goes.’’ Exams give most people a pain, and I’m not unusual in that respect. Just imagine—having to sit in one desk for an hour (I never stay any longer, how about you?), when you’re accustomed to being there only fifty minutes. But now (I breathe a deep sigh) exams are over and we may start over again. Shall it be on Mr. Patrick’s train or on the later one? Personally, I prefer the latter. I do not consider him as good an engineer as he might be. Accord ing to my beliefs, the train will be in a worse condition when he gets through with it than the later one. Besides, I prefer companionship, and I sadly fear that most of my old cronies will be slightly late. Of course there are exceptions there always are. I’m a pessimist and I’m not by myself. Personally I consider an optimist the greatest pest on earth. Some people come early enough to get on the first train but I shall doubtless be too late for the last. Achl Himmel! What shall happen then? There Mr. Patrick. “Unravel that one?’’ If some of the teachers get to making wise cracks during the next few days, you can just mark it down that they got ’em off some poor guy’s paper that got thirty or less. It looks like the guys ought to get something for saying things that even the teachers hadn’t thought of saying before. EXAM ANSWERS LOCAL JOURNALISTS TO HAVE CHAPTER OF NA TIONAL SQUILL & SCROLL’ (Continued from Page 1) quality of work, as judged by the standard of the high school in question, must be well above the average of all the students in the high school. Journalistic work in cluded all types of creative work; it includes the editing and business management of publications and drawing and writing for publica tions. To comply with provision (5) the supervisor is requested to submit a record of each student who is a candidate for membership on the blanks provided for that purpose. This record includes a statement of the nature and quality of the work performed by the candidate and of his fitness for membership in The National Honorary Society for High School Journalists. A review of these requirements shows that membership in the society is not gained easily, but only after hard and consistent work in the field of journalism. Each member is given a gold Quill and Scroll badge. Initiations may be leld at any time during the year. The local society may be an active one or merely an honorary one. This will be decided later. In the meantime the members of the staff are working hard so that if a chapter is organized here they may be able to ^om. EDITOR SENDS COPIES OF POINTER TO NEW YORK (Continued from Page 1) publications for the fee of $3.50. Delegates from the staffs of prize-winning newspapers and mag azines are to be appointed early in the convention to edit a special convention number of “The Specu lator,’’ Columbia’s daily news paper. Round table discussions will be held for the benefit of the students and faculty advisers who wish the ideas of others about the per plexing problems which confront their own newspapers. Many schools who have unusual features in their publications are making charts. These will be sent to the convention and will be on exhibit there. Since the railroad fare is the principal expense, a reduction has been secured for all delegates. This reduction amounts to 25 per cent of the round trip rate from the point of departure to New York and return to the original point of departure by the same route. This above all, to thine own self be true And it must follow as the night, the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man.—Shakespeare. They measuring themselves by themselves are not wise.—Bible. S. C. CLARK MERCHANDISERS OF REAL ESTATE (The Students tell the teachers a thing or two:) Sir Lancelot’s two means of dis guise were a pair of overalls and an old hat. A topic sentence is a central ideal of humitage with a divais. Idyll means population. Bonivard was a ship. Achilles was an island. A lute is a piece of furniture. Ruksh was Rustum’s home town. I like Currant Topics best. You can keep off bad habits such as gambling, drinking, and good manners. Choice quotations from the “Idylls of the King”. I lead no longer, “ride thou on my back.’’ Our one white lie “sits like a rock on a wall.” Mrs. Harbison: Isabel, if you are 15 years old now, how old wdl you be in 20 years?” “Issy” Ellison: “150.” J.
