Page Two THE POINTER Thursday, April 6, 1939 THE POINTER OF HIGH POINT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL High Point, N. C. Published By The Journalism Class of High Point Senior High School THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1939 DAY OF PEACE Easter is almost here. With wings of silence it ap proaches, and on Sunday, just another Sabbath for many, but in reality the day set aside commemorating the resur rection of Jesus Christ, thousands will step out into a new day with thoughts only of the affairs of the world. Many will not stop in their careless wanderings to think about its significance. A few shrewd men will sit behind charts and maps, outlining a new attack on the unsuspecting. Very few will pause in the regular routine to give thanks for happiness, life, and for One who died that others might be saved. Truthfully, the world is becoming too in volved, too interested in its war crisis, its problems, to think of the One who made this world possible. These wars are only trivial matters compared to an individual. The world could survive without wars, but the world would not live if it were not for individuals and for Christ, the emblem of love for all mankind. Some do think of Easter, yes!. The entire two billions of people who cover the re motest parts of the globe are what make the universe. If they stopped long enough to think and to ponder what they know is true, they could prevent wars. They could prevent bloodshed and destruction. The mere thought of our Lord at the time of year dedicated to Him should lead all men to thoughts of peace and sharing with fellowman. So let us each, as citizens of the earth, equal even to those who govern us, those who govern others, hesitate in the mad rush of the modern universe and on Easter remember to have thankfulness and love in our hearts, peace in mind, and a determination to remember Easter as it was meant to be remembered, the day of our Lord. D. B. DEAR GRAN’MA Dear Gran’ma: I don’t think I’m crazy but for some reason or another I’ve been acting awf’ly funny lately. For one thing, I ^m nuts over a cer tain young man who gets D on conduct. He’s not what you call handsome or even cute, but he gets me. In fact, he’s just plain ugly. Please tell me what I can do to bring him up to my stand ard. (I was elected prettiest girl in the Sewing Circle), so we can make a nice couple. Nutsy ♦ ♦ * Dear Captivated: You must have a bad case of spring fever. First, I suggest that you have your head examin ed. If that doesn’t work, why don’t you take a beauty course, marry the boy, and get to work? Gran’ma make a D. And even worse is the fact that Joe (he’s my boy friend) loves biscuits. What can I do? Bad Cook * * * Dear Cook: That’s easy! Use cotton in your biscuits, and soak well in water before serving. That oughta make them soft. However, if that doesn’t work, I suppose that you will have to get a boy friend who likes rocks. Gran’ma Dear Mom: I am a bad case of jitters. I love cars, but every time I step into one to drive I get nervous. The car jerks and when I final ly do get started down the road I can’t go straight. Do tell me what I can do to get over this bad driving. Unlucky Teter ♦ ♦ ♦ Dear Unlucky: All I can say is to either take a driving course, let someone else drive, or keep it up, and let na ture take its course. Cheap cof- j fins cost about five dollars. | Mom i Dear Gran’ma: Here’s my trouble. I cannot | make biscuits. They always taste; like rocks. I try so hard to do | good, but every month they | lower my grade on Home Ec. If j it were’t for biscuits, I could i Dear Ma: I’ve not been enjoying myself lately, and I’ll tell you what my trouble is. My special chair which the office has reserved for me is wearing out. I have to visit the office at least once a day although the same teacher does not always send me, and I do not feel comfortable staying in a chair with the seat out and one leg gone. Please help me. Uncomfortable * ♦ ♦ Dear Comfortless: I have five alternatives for you. You can either sit on the floor, repair the chair, ask the office for a new one, be good in classes, or try running backwards into a yardstick. One should work. Ma EASTER LILY BORN Her snowy cup arrayed in dehv Fresh risen on her bloom. She fills the garden atmosphere With mild and sweet perfume. The lily, once a tiny bulb, Within the soil lay Waiting gently to emerge And bloom n Easter day. —Betty Pleasants COMPLIMENTS i Of Smithes Studio DO YOU KNOW YOUR SCHOOL? Phone 3393 1.

His hopes were gone, and life was dull. And affairs long past on which he would mull. Money was his life and creation ’Till one day a great misfortune dawned. It shocked and left him without sensation. For that day—Ah! that day, his money was gone. He hunted the village high and low To find the thief, thick-witted and slow To the Rainbow he went, in rain and mire. And to find Jim Rodney was his desire. But Rodney was not the thief for whom he looked Because Rodney had not the ta vern’s fireside forsook But Dunsay, it was, who took his gold On that tragic night so bitter and cold. Soon Eppi came to comfort him, A forlorn child left to starve By a neglected mother, degraded and shamed And a father too proud to be tamed. Marner’s life was changed hence forth ; Life flowed back to him full and free For now he had some thing to live for—to hope for And something to make him see.
