THE POINTER
OF HIGH POINT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
High Point, N. C.
Bublished By
The Students of High Point Senior High School
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1938
AT CHAPEL HILL
Saturday, November 5, Chapel Hill will be the host to
Seniors from all high schools in the State. The great dan
ger in a visit of this nature is the fact that Seniors might
become eclipsed in the Carolina-V. P. I. football game and
fail to gain the real values that might come from such a day
at the University.
The real value is an intangible value—the feel of being
a part of a great host of seniors who soon are to select their
institutions for college education. Certainly one will become
aware of the fact that he is but a part fitting in with the
great “ALL.”
Those live-wire students who have been considering the
University as their school will have the opportunity, in a
small way, to get a taste of the campus and student-life
there. Gain for yourself quietly and sociably what you can,
and all in all, learn what you can of our State University.

SCHOOL SPIRIT-LESS?
Our abundance of good school spirit seems to be lost
in a misty fog of egotism—that which makes a person think
more of himself than of me. There is the student who
frankly admits that he cares nothing whatsoever for school
spirit in his school. The next individual whole-heartedly
agrees with school projects and other things for the school’s
benefit, but he readily steps aside, sacrificing himself so
that a more capable person might take his place. The third
individual has school spirit in his heart and soul also, but
his high level of will-power makes it possible for him to
promote a good school spirit.
Epigrammatically speaking, we students do think more
of our personal selves than we do of our more noble selves—
if there is such. But “that is neither here nor there.” Most
of us know what we should do in the way of making our
school spirit better, so let’s “dig in” and let our fountain of
good school spirit gush out with a little more abundance
in the future.—J. F.

THE POINTER
How much is it worth to you to have a school paper?
Are you willing to do your part in supporting “THE
POINTER?” By supporting the paper, I not only mean
paying the small subscription price of twenty-five cents,
but also doing your part in contributing news to “THE
POINTER” representative from your home-room.
The size of the Pointer has been slightly altered this
year to enable the staff to give you better news at a smaller
price. So come on! If you want a paper (and you do want
one, if you have the proper school spirit) do your part by
subscribing and ccntributing!—C. M.
DO YOUR PART
Next week when the Community Chest begins its an
nual drive, each member of the High Point High School
student body should do his part to help in this undertaking
since the proceeds will be used by the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W.
C. A., Salvation Army, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Many of us cannot make monetary contributions but
each of us will have an opportunity to contribute to this
cause since the Community Chest has made a plan by which
some students can write a composition, make a poster,
drawing, or notebooks which show the true spirit of the
organization. Another plan is that each student give to the
Community Chest one penny for each year of his age.
Help the Community Chest to help those organizations
which mean so much to each of us!—D. C. B.
JUST A VIEWPOINT
It s a matter of viewpoint! The word actually means
operating together or jointly.” Sometimes there are people
who interpret the word as meaning two persons performing
an operation. You know, the kind of operation in which one
bisects, vivisects, disembodies, dismembers, or in short—
cuts apart, and leaves his victim helpless to die.
The word cooperation does not connotate the meaning of
two people breathing heavily over some particular aspect of
school activities, literally knifed to the teeth ready to pounce
on the thing at his mercy, jab it a few times, and with its
dying breath solemly declares “I told you so.”
It’s not a weary, depraved, enslaved people that we are,
but we might think more seriously on the song of “The
Volga Boatman.”—A. Z.
The students of High Point Col
lege would like to congratulate
the high school in finding itself
able to publish again a school pa
per. Even though as tabloid, it will
be a smaller paper, the advantage
this year is seen in the possibility
of a weekly release instead of the
regular two-week publication, as
was printed last year.
A good deal of interest is shown
the high school paper by the stu
dents of the college, for the rea
son that at least half of the stu
dent body once attended the High
Point High School.
For this same reason, the mem
bers of the college publication’s
staff, the Ri-Po, are much con
cerned with its progress, and are
glad to see any gain that it may
have. Several of the present staff
members obtained their first ex
perience on this paper, and what
is better still, created their first
interest in journalism by working
on it. So we are glad to see its
continuance, and again congratu
late those responsible for its re
lease. —James Clark
To Peggy Teague the Point
er wishes to express its deep
est sympathy in the passing
of her father.
In the passing of Judge
Lewis E. Teague The Point
er feels that the entire com
munity has lost a man both
noble and courageous and a
man about whom the Pointer
can only say, “we have lost a
citizen, tolerant and beloved,
a citizen for whom all High
Point citizens had utmost re
spect.”
