Gibson, III P^RIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1938 SPORTSMANSHIP The rough neck display be tween halves of the High Point-Gastonia game has re ceived considerable unfavor able comment here and else where. Complaints were certainly in order and it is seemingly good to know that there are those who thought it well to protest. In my opinion, for a side to start a gang fight when they are losing is shameful enough, but to cause a grudge mix-up when they are winning is surely despicable. Since the game, numerous pleas have been made for a cleaner show of sportsman ship and the response to these pleas seem to lie large ly with the students of our high school. Of course since we are only a part of those attending the football games, we cannot do all, but we are many and if we could re frain from such undesirable actions and indulge more freely in good sportsman ship as we know it should be, we could influence many. Of course, though, there will forever be the group ol those to start something, those who think it’s cute, and those who are curious to see what’s going on, but don’t you students of High Point High School believe that we could do something about it? —B- C. OH, GIVE THANKS Next week as we bow our heads and give our thanks in the only ways we know how to express those ideals for which we are grateful— we can give thanks for the privilege of living in a coun try in which Fascism, Com- muniss, and Natzism are only words that we read in our newspapers—words that tell the story of other coun tries in which democracy is only a thing of the past— words which express unbe lievable but nationally known occurances. Is it strange that the Chin ese and Japanese can bow their heads and offer thanks that the ammunition factor ies still open their doors so that innocent children can be murdered unmercifully, grow ing cities destroyed, hospi tals, filled with the wounded and dying, bombed ? Are they thankful for the privil ege of killing and wounding millions? In Germany can the people of Hitler’s regime bow their heads in gratitude for the opportunity of creating a new Germany. A new Ger many in which freedom of speech is forbidden, a Ger many where prospering shops are closed for no reason at all, a Germany in which the slightest remark can send a man or woman to a consen- tration camp. Are' they glad that they are being allowed to create a new Germany? A Germany with power to con quer the world ? Can the Loyalists and Rebels of Spain reverently bow their heads and give thanks for the privilege of sending thousands of child ren away from their homes to strange lands to receive whatever mercies the people desire to give them ? Can they possibly be grateful for that? In America we know that we can bow our heads in a prayer for the continuation of peace and freedom. We are grateful that we can write and say what we please —with no fear of arrest or severe punishment. Yes, America i^ the land of the free and the home of the brave! “Oh, give thanks. Oh, give thanks unto the Lord for He is gracious in all His mer cies.” —D. G. B.

Pet Peeve: “Two Timg” Present Love: W, Room To Room By YOUR REPORTERS SPORTSMANSHIP Now that High Point has a stadium and first-rate football teams, we should abandon small-town customs at athletic events and learn to enjoy the game from the stands instead of running up and down the side-lines while the game is in progress and all over the field at the half. Why are people willing to travel greater distances and pay higher admission charges to see college football, al though the brand of football is sometimes no better than that displayed by our local team? The answer is simple; in the larger collegestadia, there is ample arran|ment for seating; spectatoi re main in their seats iring the game; at the half here are colorful parades h or ganized groups, by bais in uniform, and theraare friendly exchanges bylup- porters of competing tins. Even though one doemot enjoy the game, he willjnd in the music and the “s at the half plenty to him for the time spe these college games. It is true that many attend our high school g have not witnessed (Ji thrilling spectacles asa Duke-Carolina game; peris some of our visitors ^e not observed such practs as are frequently enpl(ff at the half by high scT fans, who cavort madly (p the field affording a spei- cle that is anything fc pleasing.

It seems that 202-A had more than its share of Weiners. Home room officers for 306| include Ruth Etta Leonard, Dow Stanly, and Frances Hedrick. 201-A is very earnest about that misbehavior at the football game. Wish other rooms would get so. What does the “T” in Paul T. Bryant’s name stand for? 207 is still hoping to triumph over 201 in Pointer campaigns. Students of 301 recently took a field trip during biology period. Looked for grasshoppers. I Who doesn’t know that a biblio graphy is not the biography of a Bible character. President of room 303 is Kath erine Baxter. Other officers are Cecil Prince, Loietta Culver, and Pearl Kinney. The attendance contest in 201 is still carried by the girls. Members of the attendance com mittee, who are sponsoring the contest, are Myra Ward, Opal Nelson, and Kathryn Powers. Class officrs for 206 are Marie Lilly , Bill Beaver, Brooks Ridge, Dewey Yarborough, R. G. Kearns, and Hale Hardee. If the girls in 208 don’t stop harping on Girl Reserves, the boys are going to make themselves a Boy Reserve Club, to keep up jwith the girls. Dorothy Miller, James Hay- 'orth, Carol Brewer, and Nan Japp are officers in 103; while 202-A has Barbara Bradley, Richard Hargett and Hubert Speas as leaders. Here are the superlatives for room 306.
