THE POINTER
Wednesday, May 8, 1929
TeacKer—was the United
States so anxious to get Samoa?
Student—Some more of what?
Miss Clinard—What is a non
partisan election?
Bob Hubbard—An election in
which nobody participates.
Thursday when Paul Appel was
acting in the capacity of a council
man, he went up with the “chief
of police” to Inspect the jail. Upon
leaving they stopped to see a
“dark gentleman.”
“Hello, buddy,” he said to Paul,
“are you just getting out, too?”

POMES
Although I am not one of the
seniors, I can sympathize with
them. Lately, when I go into The
Pointer office (which Is nothing
more or less than an “aunty” for
Mr. Owens’ office), I see nothing
but seniors, and I hear nothing but
pens scratching. I feel for the
seniors.
All this seems discouraging.
When the prisoner sees his term
coming to an end, the hardest work
is thrust upon him. I once heard a
quotation that contained, “And
from none but self expect ap
plause.” I guess that’s how the
seniors feel, but they can’t expect
the under classes to form a cheer
ing corps and thereby put them on
their feet. Although we might be
betting on you, we won t show it
until the reckoning day has ar
rived.
When we go around the build
ing all we hear is “pomes, pomes,
pomes.” Some of these times Pm
going to turn against poetry. I
shall stuff my ears with cotton, and
seniors can recite choice tid-bits
from Milton, Dryden, and Pope
(my magic formula for going to
sleep. Recite over and over until
drowsy) all they want to. Thereby
I shall have my revenge. My time
shall come some day, and I shall
get desperate. 1 shall grit my teeth,
and spit forth said tld-blts as if
they were vemon (now wasn t
that elegant?)
That old-fashioned junk isn’t so
hot either if you want my opinion.
A lot of sentimental rubbish! A
guy spouts about his love for two
or three different janes, and never
does anything about it. (I 11 bet he
died a bachelor, too. A gink that
would write all that trash about a
girl ought to be kicked out.) Ho
hum! I’m getting rawthah bored
sitting in study period with seniors
writing poetry and everybody else
doing everything else. “Wot a
life” as the old man said as he
kissed the cow.

several years. The other characters
are: Alice Bordon, Grace Walser,

Robert Hubbard, Black Terror,
David Parsons, Evelyn Whitman,

Ralto Farlowe, Ered Alden, Carl
Gibson.
The three acts all take place in
the Whitman home at midnight.
During at least half of the play the
stage is entirely dark or, at times,
there is only one small table lamp
burning. This adds to the atmos
phere of the action and is a fit
setting for the daring action of the
Black Terror who is lurking in the
neighborhood at the time the play
opens and who causes much excite
ment for all.
Tickets are now on sale by every
senior, and a contest is going to be
run between the rooms to see which
can sell the most. Admissions are
thirty-five and fifty cents. The red
tickets whih sell for fifty cents will
admit adults and those outside of
high school while the white ones are
for school students only. Results of
the contest will be announced each
day and will be posted on a board
near the cafeteria at noon.
