Collins Festival
The successful Collins Festivals
will be topped off November 23
by featuring the Wells Players
in “Youth Carries the Torch.”
The Civitan Club members as
well as the citizens of High Point
have enjoyed various types of
entertainment put on by the Col
lins Festivals and this play
‘ Youth Carries the Torch” is to
end successfully another enter
tainment sea.son.
Glen and Mara Wells in per
son will be with this production.
Mr. Wells is one of the dramatic
directors of the Collins Festival
and has charge this fall of direc
tion of three casts of this spirited
and fast moving play presented
on three different circuits.
The new Dramatic Study
Group, under the direction of
Miss Ruth Goodman, began Mon
day morning.
This group has been organiz'ed
for the purpose of teaching dra
matically inclined pupils the
principals of dramatics in all its
foiTus, giving emphasis to make
up and costuming.
Our school as one among a
hundred others, has been asked by
the Co-ordinating Committee on
the Teaching of Drama in Sec
ondary Schools of the American
Educational Theater Association
to cooperate in a project to in
clude a unit of photoplay study
in their courses of study of the
drama.
As you already know, other de
partments of secondary educa
tion have made considerable use
of the motion picture as an ad
ditional instument of aid in
their teaching. The purpose of
the project is to give further
recognition and emphasis to the
value of the photoplay in the
course of study of the drama.

Faculty Advisor, Miss Hunter
stated recently that the council is
not a body to govern the school
so much as it is a class in leader

are members of the council.

talked, it is hoped that it will be
possible to get Mr. Scott, our
head coach to say a few words
on his own behalf and that of the
team. No one denies that Mr
Scott is doing the greatest pob
of high school coaching in the
state. He has been nominated
for the post of best coach by
prominent sports writers on daily
papers.
Our excellent squad of cheer
leaders will then lead the stu
dent body in some good ’ole
Bison yells in preparation for
the great game to take place to
night. The high school orches

for the occasion.
At the game . which will begin

Mr. Sam Smith, prominent
member of our Social Science de
partment, is going to make a trip
to \\ asliington with some of his
students.
Some of the members of the
POINTER staff wonder if it has
any connection with the recent
motion picture success. If it
has, it seems to be the concensus
of opinion that once and for all
High Point will have established
itself on the map.
