Page Four THE POINTER Friday, March 10, 1939 High Point High Sending Delegate To Engineering Fair Lead Bison Cheering Sections North Carolina State College Will Be Convention Site A representative from the sen ior class of the High Point Sen ior High School has been asked to attend the Engineers’ Fair, to be held at the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering, April 14. The representative chosen to attend the fair will be a person who is interested in studying engineering and who is an out standing member of his class. Persons will be sent from all the leading high schools of the state. Other people who wish to at tend the Engineers’ Fair will re ceive a cordial invitation. Spec tacular experiments and exhibits will be displayed at this time and the entire equipment of the Engineering school will be open to the public. Walter B. Jones, vice president of the Engineers’ council, stated that the purpose of the fair is to help high school seniors in settling such questions as “Where should I go to college?” and “Am I interested in Engineering?” He also says that this meeting will help the student learn some thing of college life. The representatives from the different high schools will re ceive free meals and lodging while they are at the college. They will be entertained at a banquet, and will receive lectures from informed speakers. GIRL RESERVES’ SPRING ACTIVITIES The highlights of the Girl Re serves’ activities this spring are a Mother-Daughter Banquet and the Spring Dance. The Mother-Daughter Banquet will be given by the Wednesday and Thursday night groups and on separate occasions, on March 16th and 16th. The members will be hostesses to their mothers. Committees for planning the de tails will be appointed by the presidents of the two clubs. Other events on the program for the coming months are: May 3-4, a lecture on a humorous epi taph by Mr. A. C. Hall; April 26-27, an outdoor picnic honoring the Hi Y boys; and May 24-25, a farewell party for the seniors that belong to the clubs. RADIO CLUB PRESENTED SECOND SKIT OF SERIES The Radio Club presented the second in a series of plays en titled “The Scholastic Series” on Thursday evening, March 9th. The plan of the Radio Club is to allow each member to act as director of one of the radio pro grams. The radio club is not striving to offer programs of educational value, but rather of fering programs of a nature which will give the club mem bers radio experience. A series of radio skits entitled “Epoch Discoveries of the Past” was recently concluded. The members of the club are Stephen Clark, Kermit Albertson, Akers Hutchens, Kathryn Allen, Mary Holton, Cressie Maxwell Bonnie Frazier, Willard Midgett, James Terry, Carlton Foster, Darrell Sechrest, and Roger Tay lor. ENGLISH STUDENTS WILL DRAMATIZE MacBETH The senior English pupils of Miss Muriel Bulwinkle will dra matize Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” during their class periods Mon day. Each class has been divided into five groups with a chair man to direct each group. The groups have chosen one act of the play and from that act have taken one scene which they will dramatize. The scenes will be presented in the auditorium and the cos tumes, while not elaborate, will be suggestive of the time and characters. The different class distinctions will be represented in the audi ence, from the groundlings, who used to stand in the pits, to the higher classes that would have sat in the balconies. Some of the girls will be masked indicating that they are ladies and will not want to be seen at a play. Stools will be placed near the edge of the stage on which the fashion able young men who wish to be seen will sit. BIOLOGICAL GARDEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION (Continued From Page One) classes will make the labels, the Latin students will supply the Latin equivalents of the English names, and the drawing classes will print the names on the labels. In a recent trip to Chapel Hill, Miss Clara Whitehead spoke to Dr. H. R. Totten, of the Univer sity of North Carolina, about the construction of the labels. Dr. Tatten remarked that embossed aluminum secured with zinc nails would not harm the tree and would be of greater durability than wood plaques. While in Chapel Hill, Miss Whitehead , re ceived several expressions of in terest in the project from dif ferent professors. In view of their interest they have been ex tended an invitation to visit the garden at a later stage in its de velopment. These professors in elude Dr. W. C. Coker, head of the Botany department at the University, Dr. H. R. Totten, and Dr. J. E. Adams. The science students will be given projects in the Biological Garden rather than the customary home and class assignments. Pu pils will bring in any plant's they find that are not in the garden, and in this connection. Miss Em ma and Miss Ada Blair have ex pressed a desire to make contri butions of plants from the Emma Blair School garden. A filing cabinet containing a record of every plant and tree in the garden will be kept in Miss Whitehead’s office. When new plants are brought in they will receive cards also. The records will be complete, as the project will last over a period of three or four years before it will be in any measure complete. High Point High School’s cheering sections were led by the four outstanding girls from the school. The team comprised of Eloise Rankin, Janey Wilson, Caroline York, and Posey Redman, followed the Bison football and basketball teams to every contest. Foul Shot Contest Started This Week U. S. COAST GUARD WORK FILMED IN ‘BORDER FLIGHT’ High Point High School stu dents will observe the work of the U. S. Coast Guard when “Bor der Plight” is screened here next Wednesday and Thursday. The story takes place along the U. S. border as the coast guard engages in a war against smug glers. Thrilling action in the air and on land and sea is enacted against a romantic background. A list of the characters in cludes John Howard and Frances Farmer. Ross: “I had to fire my new stenographer.” Clerk: “Didn’t she have any ex perience?” Ross: “None at all. I told her to sit down and she looked around for a chair.”—The Phoenix. Intramural foul shot contests have already begun this week, while the basketball season has drawn to a close. Individual contestants will take part in these games. After the free thrpw contests, the soft-ball season will open, then the horse shoe contest, tennis, and then track. At the end of the year every one who has taken part in intramural sports will receive a special letter for these kinds of sports. Coach A. J. Simion stated that the intramural sports were being sponsored so there would be “A sport for every student and a student for every sport.” This is probably the first time a high school has carried intramural sports on such a large scale. The following list is of the basketball games for the week beginning February 27: 209 and 301A defeated 108, 14-8; 313 de feated 202, 106 by a forfeit. 30S, 201A victimized 301, 16-14; 308, 314 won a forfeited game . from 304, 312; 106, 202 won over 316 by a forfeit; 208 won over 303, 201A to the tune of 10-5; 313 was defeated by 209, 201A, 20-7. Coach Simion wishes to say that he would like to see more boys coming out for intramural sports. Mayer ling Will Play Center Theater Soon Mayerling, a four bell French Picture, staring Danielle Dar- rieux and Charles Boyer, is com ing to the Center Theater soon. This picture was made by French stars, filmed in Prance, and the French language is used altogether, with the English translation flashed on The screen at intervals in a way much like the silent pictures of yesterday. “If Mayerling proves helpful and worthwhile to the French students,” Mrs. Leila Bell Rogers, head of the Foreign Language Dpartment says, “I will have the school order various French films which will be shown for the high school French students at one of the local theaters.” FIVE , YEARS AGO (Continued from page 2) DRAMATIC CLUB PRESENTS PLAYS (Continued Prom Page One) Sara Ray; Mrs. Frazier, Mavis Peace; Curtis Frazier, N.
