-.7 ^ Page Four THE POINTER Wednesday, Feb. 6, 1929 Miss Lindsay; What is a turn- pike? ^ Jim McLaurin: That s where a train turns around.

FRESHMAN EXAMS Mr. Kii^ teaches about axioms; and Mr. Patrick sometimes origi nates maxims. Just who is respon sible for that old one, “Misery loves company,” I wouldnT dare say. But anyone who is curious enough to find out the author, can )ust peep around and see who keeps the “heaviest” eighth period; be cause only the miserable would resort to that means for sociability. Regardless of the originator, the fact remains that I'm miserable, because so many of my good friends like the foolish virgins, when they attempted to light the lamp of intelligence, found that there was no oil. It takes grease to make any kind of a machine go. (Now laugh that off.) I am particularly fond of the company of freshmen, for from recent reports I gather they are the most miserable. Poor things, they tried to think on examination. By the time they reach the junior year, they will have found out that is not done in the best high school circles—not even those drawn by geometry classes. And particularly on an English esay. Dear me, such a waste of words. Just listen: O’Henry wrote the story of Tom Sawyer who went on a treasure hunt with an old seaman. I will say in defense, though, that if O’Henry didn’t write this story, that is no sign that he couldn’t; and Tom Sawyer is just the person who would hunt trea- escaped with the two bags of treasure. All of which goes to prove that such deductions could not have been made without a lot of study; and I am not all unhappy over their prospects; because I see that such beginnings as the above will lead some one to the exalted position of the Humor Editor of The Pointer. HOME ROOM OFFICERS ARE ELECTED AGAIN (Continued from Page 1) Lots of students have been com plaining for the last several days about failing their examinations and making “F’s” on their sem ester’s work. But I don’t see how they can expect the losing side of a buffalo five-cent piece to be brighter than their own heads. coracle. A rude home made boat, was to one, Benn Gunn. Langar Dass was transferred from the jungle to the good ship Hispaniola where he became a stiff strict captain. (Quite a promotion for a Hindu, what?) John Silver joined the faithfnl party (that certainly wasn’t the Democratic) reformed, and changed sides no more. Jim Hawkins and Tom Saywer were rivals for Baron von Land- short’s place as the nervous, fidgity, little man at the head of his family. (That simply goes to show,that these lads were ambitious.) Captain Smollett became a res cued maroon, depriving Ben Gunn of his rightful place. (Perhaps they meant macaroon.) Dr. Livesey took away the hon ors in understanding cryptography, leaving Legrand out of it. A bird who got a boy into trouble was Bobo. Something that talked of “Pieces of Eight” was Captain Smollett—while poor Poll Parrot was silent. Jim Hawkins first discovered that cooked meat tastes better than raw. (He probably took Bobo’s place while he was acting the part of the parrot. But whom did the bird get into trouble? Some thought it was Tom Sawyer.) A pirate killed by Jim was none other than John Silver. Perhaps it was Long John’s spirit that sailed home with the Hispaniola and Charles Kearns and Ina McAdams, Percy Idol, Charles Welch, and Dell Hicks and Paul Appel.

Main St. Marlette to tell some of his experi ences, but he told a story on “the other fellow” this time. “The other fellow” happened to be Mr. W. C. King, a professor in our school. “Here’s a good one on Dudley King,” and Coach was off on the tale. “When Elon’s baseball team went up to V. M. L, Dudley went along as catcher. You know, he’s a great catcher. There are a lot of monuments around V. M. L, as it is a military institute. Well, we happened to be standing around a statue of Jack- son, who, by the way was a presi dent of the school. Dudley was directly in front of the statue. It is a rule that the cadets salute the statue each time they pass it. A young fellow came out of the general office, walked up to the statue and saluted. King was on the job. He clicked his heels to gether, and brought his hand np in ready response. That was a case of mistaken identity!” REV. FARMER SPEAKS TO THE STUDENT BODY (Continued from Page 1) depends wholly on ourselves. Just as any large manufacturing concern must see to it that the goods sent out bear the qualities of the trade mark stamped on them, so we must place a reputable trade mark on our lives and live up to it.

There are plenty of others willing and ready to do that for us, he said; and to strengthen his statement, he quo ted : “Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well thy part, there all the honor lies. The last point the speaker made was “the world recognizes only one aristocracy, merit in performance. There is a royalty of performance, of mentality, as well as of birth. Christianity is the only badge worth wearing; Jesus Christ is the only trade mark worth while.” Wilbur Hutchins, president of the student council, introduced Rev. Farmer to his audience.
