AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK
Throughout the nation next week the schools are observ
ing American Education Week. During American Education
Week the schools make various plans which will, in some
way, encourage the education of the students for the stu
dent’s good.
We students of America are very fortunate. Each of us
has an equal chance to get an education. We study the arts,
literature, science, and history. The question is: “Will
these subjects help us in our world of tomorrow?”
We can understand that some of the subjects today will
be of no great value to us in the future. Because of this,
the schools are now striving to make education progress as
the nation progresses. Often when a school recognizes a
change in education the majority of the people who oppose
this change will make it impossible for school adoption.
From our own experience, we know that the education of
yesterday will not come up to the standards of tomorrow.
This, naturally, emphasizes the fact that we, the students of
today, should be taught the things which are necessary for
our success tomorrow.
We should know how to make successful contacts with
people and how to express our ideas so that they may be
understood.
Other schools have made changes in their educational
programs. Other schools have progressed with the nation.
High Point schools must continue to do the same, and
High Point school students must continue to utilize educa
tional opportunities so that they may be better fitted to
accept the challenges of tomorrow.—D. G. B.

Welcome Sophomore Girls
We ,the upperclassmen, wish you
to meet the following:
Swee’pea, the One and Only,
whose technique is even keener
than Charlie McCarthy’s.
Bus Overcash and his haircuts..
Drastic tho’ seldom.
Thurman Homey and his bro
ther .. who it seems STILL enjoys
the atmosphere of these corridors.
Lawrence King and his jaloppy,
which runs on water .. well, al
most.
“Shim” Wagger and fer-ocious
recipes .. ask him how one cooks
fickle fish.
Jack “Sappy” Sappenfield and
his talent (?) for singing.
Wallace Skeen and newly ac
quired vocabulary .. know where
sailors go for target practice?
“Gib” Loyd and those curly
tresses .. which are naturally
blonde.
Jack Paul and that Little Apple
(or war-dancing) we aren’t cer
tain yet.
John Fowler and those clothes
of his (and his rippling fingers).
Paul Warren and his memory—
it’s usually bad on Wednesdays.
Roger Taylor and his dance
steps—which are very nifty.
Abie Short and his football
training hours—or is it the mem
ory of M. S. B.?
Paul T. Bryant and that Buick—
it covers blocks—ackshully!
Earl Carter and his strained
eyes (or are they well, Lil’un?)
Dick Hartley and his bashful
ness—or is he just playing aloof?
