PEACE
Twenty years ago today, peace was declared—peace
after the greatest war in the history of the world had been
fought.
Through all these years, nations have been striving to
attain world peace. Woodrow Wilson, the 23rd president of
the United States, made the first move towards this goal
by suggesting the establishment of the League of Nations
to settle disputes peaceably among nations.
And today, countries bitter among themselves, observe
and celebrate this day.
We should observe this day as a memorial day not be
cause those few years ago our fathers and kinsmen suffer
ed on the battle fields and there paid the supreme price for
the love of their country. We should observe this day be
cause we, too, are willing to pay the supreme price for our
country, but without peace our country cannot exist.
Without peace we shall have no country to pay the
supreme price for. Coincident with American Education
Week let us so constitute our thinking that we shall be as
sured of peace in the years to come.
ARMISTICE STORY
I saw a man kneeling, gun in his hand. And with the
first rays of sunlight penetrating the gray dawn I saw him
raise his gun and fire. Shrapnel was falling all around.
“What is that?” I asked.
“That is war, my son,” the answer came.
I saw famished children living in squalor, not knowing
the tenderness of a blazing fire at home, not knowing the
care of a loving hand, not knowing the experience of eating
good and well cooked food.
“What is that?” I asked.
“That is war, my son,” the answer came.
I saw the olive branch. I saw the farmers peacefully
toiling in the fields. I saw men busy about their work,
laughing and smiling.
“What is that?” I asked.
“That is peace, my son,” the answer came.
I saw some marching men. I heard the band play. I
heard them offer prayer. I heard them all sing, for peace
had come.
But just this morning, so late as after breakfast, I
saw a man kneeling.
I didn’t ask a question. The answer was already made.
“They’re fighting for peace. We must always have
peace.”—T. W.

Will You Be There?
Will you be there? This af
ternoon in the auditorium—
the best since the sudden dis
appearance of Swe’ Pe’. Will
you be there? Not stupendous,
not collosal, nor mountainous—
no word in the English lan
guage can express it. Will you
be there? The most opportune
event in the history of the
school. Don’t miss that pep
meeting. Something “big” is
going to take place. Will you
be there?

Dear Flo,
What in the world shall I do?
I have only five days a week to
see my girl and I simply can’t
live without seeing her more
than any measly five days ^
week!
Anxiously,
Whatshallldo
Dear Whatshallldo,
The only solution for you is
to go on daylight saving time.

Dear Miss Heartsbloom,
A man insists on driving nails
at the most inopportune times,
I am rapidly becoming a nervous
wreck. Can you suggest a
remedy ?
Hopefully,
J. J. Jumpy
Dear Jumpy,
I suggest that you hit the
man with a hammer; thereby,
removing the cause of the un
welcome noise.
Helpfully,
F. Heartsbloom

This week has been quite an
eventful one for our High School
band. After hiding themselves
for the past few years the band
is up and at ’em again, having
presented a concert at Ada Blair
School Monday night, followed by
another at Brentwood School
Tuesday night. Both were well
received.
FROM ROOM TO ROOM

Room 105 misses Frances Lin-
deman who moved to Spartan-
burgh, S. C. on October 29.
What about that “Lowe” boy
in room 105. Only 6 feet 3.
The home coming parade has
bining study with pleasure i»
the Friday English class as the
students enjoy short programs
arranged by other members of
the class for that day.
To improve the appearance of
311, several committees have
been appointed. Two of these
are the window committee which
takes care of windows and
shades, and the bulletin board
committee which concerns itself
with keeping the bulletin boards
neat by arranging pictures for
them. Garnet Hinshaw is per
manent chairman of the “beau
tification committee. TKe other
members are changed monthly.
Members of the window commit
tee are changed weekly.
Room 201 is still going in
that attendance contest with the
girls ahead, as has been.
Who is that fellow who thinks
Sylvia Betts and her sister.
Dwanda Lee Bissette and Bud
.. . where is he now ?
Becky Brockman and Lil’un ...
what, no more?
Annie Brown and Charlotte
game.
Ann Bulla and her bright
cracks.
Doris Byerly and her witticisms
for the POINTER.
Ruby Canupp and her resem
blance to Bonnie L.
Maude Carraway and her
“Will O’ the Wisp”.
Eloise Cecil and that white
uniform that she wore.
Mary Lou Chappel and her
French class.
Nan Clapp and her big brown
eyes.
Beatrice Cole and her lovely
hair ... yes, it’s blonde.
Rachael Conrad and her POIN
TER work.
Virginia Coltrane and her Bob

Ruth Ellington and that little
Barrier boy.
Anna Ellison and her good-
looking sister.
Marjorie Foster and her home
made curly hair.
Louellyn Freeman and her
students in 206 hunting for ideas.
They want something good for
the parade.
After a large amount of sub
scribing, some tall barrowing of
money, and a grand commotion
202-A defeated room 316 in a
race for 100% Pointer subscrip
tions last Friday.
A good news committee (we
should say bad news committee
for 316) was quickly sent to 316
to tell them of 202-A’s good for
tune. In 202-A, which was now
in some disorder, students could
be seen clapping hands and pat
ting each other on the back.
Room: 316 challenged 202-A last
Tuesday. The agreements of the
race were that the room having
100 percent for paid subscriptions
for the Pointer first would receive
a party given by the losing home
room.
The 202-A-ians will recfeive
their party Tuesday night.
Dear Flossie,
Every time
I enter French
class, I get an awful sinking feel
ing? What shall I do to over
come this inconvience ?
Awaiting your remedy,
S. Fry Sinker
Dear Small Fry,
Did you ever try carrying bal
loons filled with helium?
Lightly
Flossie
Dear Flos,
Knowing that your motto is:
“Kill or Cure,” I have come to
ask your advice in solving my
problem, as it is no longer of
any consequence to me whether
I live or die. I find myself un
able to dance without stepping
on my partner’s toes, and no
one will dance with me now un
til I find a way to avoid this.
Since I am a fervent Jitterbug,
the situation is unbearable. What
do you advise ?
Worridly,
Jit T. E. R. Bug
Dear Bug,
Persuade your partner to wear
slippers two sizes too long, then
when you step on her feet you
will crunch nothing but shoe.
Understandingly,
Floi.
Incidentally, the first concert
was not all dignified classic
music. The bass player left his
tuba here at the high school and
gallant-hearted Mr. Carl Pron-
steadt offered his services by
driving back for it. In his haste
the chain at the gate of the
school was forgotten, and duely
broken. So, after losing the way
a couple of times, giving out of
gas, and what have you?—they
finally arrived back at the scene
of action, all well and good. But
after trucking down the aisle with
the tuba “surrounding” him, he
found that all his efforts were
to no avail—the band finished
their last number just as he got
to the stage.
