Ball Game In Afternoon. There will be a girls’ track meet here Saturday, April 20, in which individuals and teams from all over this district will contest, ac cording to Miss Louise Shipman, director of girls’ athletics. Miss Shipman said that the meet would last all day, and those who will participate in it are the same school s which High Point met in the basketball season. The classes of contests are di vided into two: the morning and the afternoon sections. In the morning the following track events will take place: the three or four dashes, either fifty or seventy-five yards, one of which will be en tirely for freshmen; three high jumps, and seven hurdles. The throws will also come before noon. There will be no shot pur or javelin throw this year, as not all of the schools have the equipment neces sary for practice in these sports. There will, however, be a basket ball throw, a baseball throw, and a baseball target throw. Only one relay race will be held. From 1 o’clock to 2 o’clock the contestants, both the local ones and the visitors, will rest and “banquet.” Mrs. Baylor will serve lunch at this time and probably a short program will be arranged to be given during the progress of the meal. In the afternoon, all the inter est will be centered on a baseball game to be held between two teams. These two teams will be selected as the two best from all the schools represented. They will be chosen by the grade ofwork they do, during the season. Local coaches hope that High Point will be able to be one of the two teams, but they will have much competition. All those who are interested in track, and many others besides, are keenly awaiting this all-day inter- scholastic meet. o Allred, l.f 2 1 1 0 Ridge, l.f. 1 0 0 0 Brogden, p.-r.t . 2 3 1 0 Culler, 3b 4 3 v3 0 Bryant, s.s. 2 0 0 2 Hinkle, c ^ 5 2 1 0 Reed, p 3 0 0 0 Hicks, 2b 2 0 0 0 Thomasville AB R H E Beck, 3b 5 2 2 1 Brooks, ss 5 1 1 0 Russell, lb 5 1 1 0 Blair, c 4 0 0 0 Little, p 4 0 1 0 Dorsett, c.f. 3 0 1 0 Everhart, 2b 4 0 0 0 Kennedy, l.f. 4 0 0 0 Harrison, r.t. 4 0 0 0 Bean, 3b . _ __ 1 0 0 0 FROM IHOMASVILLE Local Boys Run Rough-Shod Over Visitors By Piling Up Big Lead Here; Score Is 12- to 4.

Hill starred at bat for High Point with four hits out of five times at the plate, while Kearns knocked a homer, a double and a single. Little did mound duties for Thomasville and went the full route, while Beck led the team in hitting. Culler came in for a share of the batting honors, getting three hits out of four times up, two of which went for extra bases. High Point started the scoring early and soon ran up a lead that Thomasville was unable to over come. Thomasville could not score until the sixth and seventh innings when with a few hits combined with the Pointer’s errors enabled them to make four runs.

The Black Bisons ran rough shod over the Biscoe nine on the high school diamond Monday afternoon to win the game by the score of 19 to 9. Bryant started pitching for High Point but was replaced by Brogden in the third inning. High Point got next to the offerings of Kelland and Dunlap to knock the ball all over the field in a regular Miss Wilson says she is well pleased with the way the candi dates for the baseball team are showing up and she thinks the season just coming in will be the best baseball year the High Point girls have ever had. Practically every member ol last year’s team is back this year, and with added material. High Point will most likely be well represented, accord ing to the coach. No definite schedule has yet been arranged, but two games will prob able be played with one of the fol lowing schools: Greensboro, Win ston, Guilford, Trinity, and Salis bury. Salisbury is the only team that was not played last year. Heretofore these schools have put out stronger teams than the locals, but it is hoped that this year the High Pointers can win 100 per cent of their games. O COACH SPENCER’S TEAM WINS TRIANGULAR MEET Coach Spencer’s track team won the triangular track meet at Sails bury Thursday afternoon, scoring 60 and one-third points, Salisbury was second with 23 and two-thirds points, while Denton came last with 15 points.

O GIRLS’ GYM CLASSES PLAY BALL OUTISDE The girls’ physical education classes have started playing base ball, and when the weather permits, they play outside. In the majority of the classes there are enough girls for four teams. Thus, two games are being played at the same time. In some classes, half of the girls practice track while some play baseball. The girls seem to enjoy the spring sports after a long sea son of basket ball. SCOUT WHO WENT TO AFRICA SPEAKS HERE (Continued from Page 1) speaking of one night during which the three scouts took flashlight pictures of lions, Dick caused much laughter by his account of their nervousness. The picture they se cured was accidentaly taken, Dick said, because in his anxiety he crossed the wires too soon. But when, in the morning, they found it an excellent photograph, in his own words, “although we lost a three- hundred dollar camera and about two years of growth each, we were satisfied with the night’s work.” O COMMENCEMENT PLANS DISCUSSED BY SENIORS (Continued on Page 3) committee was heard, and the class was urged to be able to state at a near date just how many invita tions must be ordered. Carl Smith and Mary Dean Caldwell are in charge of taking orders for the visiting cards, the chairman of the committee also announced. Miss Harris announced the fol lowing program for the commence ment exercises: Sunday, June 2, Baccalaureate Sermon. Monday or Tuesday, Se nior Picnic. Wednesday, June 5, Declamation and Essay Contests. Thursday, June 6, Class Night Exercises. Friday, June 7, Gradua tion Night. She also told the class that the senior play will probably be “Oh! Kay!” and will be given May 12. o CHAPTER OF QUILL AND SCROLL ORGANIZED HERE (Continued from Page 1) the pins would be sent as soon as possible. In order to be considered as a candidate for the Quill and Scroll, the student must present three articles which have been published in the school paper, each article being preferable of a different na ture—such as a news article, fea ture story, and a poem. The stu dent must have journalistic ability, and do active work in the publica tion of his school paper. The ap plicants must also be in the upper third of his class. O FLAG CONTEST DATE IS MOVED TO APRIL 12 (Continued from Page 1) is in charge of most of these. The scholarships offered by the North Carolina division U. D. C., are of interest to the seniors. Some of the scholarships are awarded only to lineals descendents of Confederate veterans, while others are open to all seniors in the state. The latter are awarded on the judging ot essays on “The Life of Jefferson Davis.” The name of the colleges to which the scholarships are given are: Girls, N. C. C. W. or East Carolina Teachers College, and for the boys, the University of North Carolina or N. C. State college. Further information about this contest may be obtained from Miss Lindsay. The third contest is the one sponsored by the Greensboro Com mittee ot Colonial Dames Society, and provides that any high school student in Guilford county may enter it. To enter, the students are required to write essays, the sub jects of which must be “Colonial Guilford.” Ten dollars will be the award made for the best essay. The declamation and essay con tests which come during com mencement week and which are open only to seniors, are also cre ating a good deal of attention. The essay contest is for the girls, and the boys will give declamations. Mr. M. J. Wrenn gives a medal to the girl winning the essay contest and Mr. Elwood Cox presents a medal to the boy who is given the decision in the other part of the contest. The medals are awarded on graduating night, and the win ners are not known until then. Mr. Earl Andrews, debating coach, will coach the boys, and the girls will be assisted by Miss Lindsay. o SLOAN SISTERS ENTER ASHEVILLE CONTEST (Continued from Page 1) recent issue of The Pointer, the statement was made that these two winners had been studying several years, but this statement was a mistake. Miriam has had only about ten private lesson, and the younger musician has been playing the violin for only about five months. In spite of this both girls are competing with others who have studied much longer, and the High Point representatives will play pieces of the same degree of difficulty as the other contestants in the Asheville contest. The musi cians who win at Asheville will go to Georgia to compete again. Miriam will play Sioux Indian Fantasie, and Minuett by Mozart, while the violin numbers will be Concerto No. 1 by Accolay, and March Caprice by Kretzer-Sarr. o MISS BEVERLY WILSON GRANTS AN INTERVIEW H. P. Girls’ Physical Educa tional Prominent In College Life at N. C. C. W,; Attends Summer School. The physical education depart ment of the school seems not to lack in prominent personages. The college record ot Coach Wade Marlette was reviewed in The Pointer several weeks ago, so it was only natural that the reporter should next turn to Miss Bervely Wilson, head of the girls’ division of the department. Miss Wilson was found in her office and graci ously told some of the interesting “high lights” of her college career. She was graduated from North Carolina College for Women, Greensboro, in 1927 with the degree of B. S. P. E. which is the standard degree for physical educational directors. She took part in the major sports, making the college varsity in hockey, soccer, baseball, and the gym teams for four years. As a reward for her part in athletics she won a college monogram and two stars, which was a total of 1,600 points according to the Athletic Conference of American College Women of which N. C. C. W. is a member. Miss Wilson held several im portant offices while at college. She was president of the Athletic As sociation, and was captain of the varsity team and of the soccer team fo two years each. Besides these, the present H. P. H. S. faculty member was class cheerleader for two years and college cheerleader for two years. She was also a mem ber of the French club and of the Monogram club. Since her graduation. Miss Wil son has spent each summer at some form of training in her work. Dur ing the summer of 1927 she at tended Columbia University and the Wellesley college sports ses sion. At the latter school, she re ceived instruction from two Eng lish hockey coaches who had come over from England especially for the coaching school. The summer of 1928 was spent in camp and in New York. She plans this summer to go to the sports session at Wellesley College in June and then to Columbia Uni versity summer school in July and August.
