Page Four THE POINTER Wednesday, Feb. 13, 1929 Miss Lindsay: Who was Jeffer son's private secretary? Donald Wood: Lucifer. Harry Coble: I didn’t know that Big Sisters were cannibals. Eloise Ingram: What do you mean? Harry Coble: The Pointer said that they served nuts at the ban quet. At the calling of initials on the junior rings, needless to say, rings marked F.A.T. and H.O.G. were never claimed. A freshman observing the ad vertisement of Mr. von Callio was overheard to ask another if P.M. meant morning or not. Sure, of course. THE FUNNY PAPERS IN THE SENIOR CLASS Boots—Lucille Dunn.

AMATEUR RADIO FANS SOMETIMES DO WONDERS CLASS RINGS Judging from what the book of quotations says, the rest of the year should be a howling failure for the juniors. Ben Franklin or someone said, “an ounce of vanity spoils a cwt. of merit,” or some thing to that effect. Also, the boys are disobeying the laws of eti quette which says that boys should never wear jewelry, but perhaps these is some sense since they are in schools. I see where the editor of The Pointer is inviting the students to criticize the school. She asked us all to discuss such things as conduct in the halls, use of the library, and the cafeteria line. But that don’t give us no chance to mention some of the teachers—and it’s just after examinations, too! lay,” but that does not apply to the cases which I have in mind. If you have heard the boys’ glee club re hearse, you would agree with me that all some of the guys are doing is training to be radio announcers. Mr. Stookey would make a superb one. In the inter-school music contest it seems that the crowd who can holler the loudest always gets the prize. Mr. Stookey, I compliment you. You have de veloped for H.P.H.S. a fine set of screamers. If sounds do not deceive me, some of them are trying to be second Carusos and Galli-Curcis, but if they ash me, they’ve had enough already. The band’s not excused either, and if anything, they’re worse. The saxaphone blaring in our ears so that you can’t concentrate on the game, drat it. “A jackdaw has nothing to do with music,” says an old proverb. I suppose I must stop here, be cause I guess I don’t enjoy good music or else they don’t manu facture it over here. One or the other. Old H.P.H.S. has already turned out a good group of musicians. E. W. Freeze would make a pretty good radio announcer and Helen Reich should make an excellent bed-time story teller. Therefore: Station O.U.C.H. now signing off. Good night, kiddies! (Continued from Page 1) the world on the very outposts of civilization, in the jungles of Africa, the frozen regions of the northern countries and the withering heat of the tropics there are boys who with home-made apparatus of the crud est kind are nightly talking with other amateurs in their country and some times in other countries. They have earned for themselves such names as “Hams,” “Boiled Owls,” “Brass Pounders,” and “Knights of the Key” all by their work with radio. In the United States alone there are sixteen thousand amateurs. Did you know that every night such messages as “Pse gsl om, Ur ds sigs rShr, FbOb, and Best 73s” etc. flash through the air to be picked up by the receiving operator. These amateurs have done much service in time of floods, storms, and hurricanes, when all the lines are down, and trains are stopped. Then the amateur shines by handl ing message after message with never a thought of reward because he gets a far greater satisfaction out of knowing that by his own work, and apparatus he has proved himself worthy of a place on the air. All this is just a glimpse into the entrancing realms of radio. —Albert Pruitt Johnston and several others for their interest in his scout work, and said that he would do his best to prove that the trust put in him by such an award was not wrong. Rev. H. N. Bowne, rector of St. Mary’s church, of which Robert is a member of the scout troops, then spoke to the students. He took as a subject “Scouting and the Boy.” He stressed the benefits of being a scout. “Scouting brings out the dormant possibility that the boys themselves never dreamed they had.” Expressing the spiritual value, the speaker said “They are forgetting those things that are left behind and reaching for those that are before, toward the mark of the high calling which is in Christ.’ As a fitting conclusion to the pro gram, Harold Long sounded Re treat” on the bugle. MUSIC To start off this essay or satire or whatever you call it, I wish to say that I am not an “ass before the harp.” I can enjoy music along with the rest of humanity.
