While Sue’s away, the mice will
play, eh, “Abie”? After all. Ditty
does make a nice playmate, n’est-
ce pas? .... Phyllis Freeman’s
taste seems to run toward musi
cians, but not, however, to trom
bonists .... Leoda Hall has fi
nally downed her childhood love
for A. J. K. and seems to be in
terested in some sophisticates
from the college. More luck to
you, Leoda.

Speedy, where were you last
Saturday night? Couldn’t have
been at Bobbie’s, could you? ....
ril bet Jack doesn’t mind being
sick, ’cause he gets roses and
cards from Yokum .... Wonder
why Marguerite Murray asked
“Herb” Hodgin to the Girl Reserve
Scavanger hunt? Watch out, Mary
Ann Thomas! .... Bill Connor
and Willa Grey seem to be doing
pretty well.

Since so many of the young gal
lants have seen fit to enlist for
service, many more fair lassies
have been seen furtively wiping
their eyes (It really is bad, don’t
you think, Mary Jo?)

Wonder who will be the lucky
girl to get Clark (Gable) Wilson?
.... Jean Hardin is kinda’ fond
of “Duke” Finer. Nice, cute girl,
“Duke” .... Ruth Wayne Melton
says she thinks she can take
“Pert” away from Bessie Lee. But
we don’t think so, do we, folks?

that gave us the winning point.
The Pointers started out with
their usual flourish, but the de
mons soon gained. The co-part
nership of Cale and Dick Martin
gave the Winston quint basket
after basket and the game was
tit for tat, as Reid, Short and
Welborn retaliated. The Bison
“froze” the ball in the last min
ute and a half to win by a slim
one-point margin. Cale and Dick
Martin paced the Demons with 12
points each. Reid led the locals
with 11, with Short only one point
behind him.

Have You Heard About:—The
letters Bill Currie received criti
cizing his open letters in his col-
yum “Whispering Grass” ? They
were not signed. It seems to me
that a letter worth writing is worth
signing your name to it. Don’t you
think so ? . . . The football player
out at the Country Club the other
night with one of the girls men
tioned in the column “New Stu
dents” last issue. They were doing
that cheek-to-cheek fandango. It
must be fun. . . . The student who
kicks about his name being linked
with his loved in Snooper Scoops is
just the one who would die if he
couldn’t see his name in print.
High School Vignette:—A story
is circulating from lip to lip about
a “certain” girl dating “another”
girl’s throb. (He happens to be a
football player.) Because of this,
all the girls are hot at “another”
girl for letting this “certain” girl
date her “feller.” It just doesn’t
make sense.
Typewriter Ribbons:—What is
this that has come to our ears
about Reitzel Morgan, Clinard Bur
ton, Bill Carroll, Charles Coleman,
and Jimmy Bennett snooping
around Barbee street? Is there
something interesting over that
way, boys ? . . . For those that
have missed the band drilling on
the field, you will be interested to
know that they will be back as
soon as the weather is a little
warmer. . . . Do you know who our
new head majorette is? From all
indications, it must be Gloria Pack
er. Bill Currie, POINTER editor,
and Dot Turner are uh-huh about
each other.
It Is a Fact: that the rumor
mentioned last issue in this colyum
about a certain band member’s be
ing riveted is true. The riveting
took place in Chester, South Caro
lina. Happy landing for the couple.
This ole cat has been sneaking
up dai’k alleys and sitting on back
fences a lot lately, and he has seen
and heard a lot of things.
Not all these things can be dis
closed in this issue, but they may
be ready for the next issue. . . .

FIRST CHOICE WITH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
The time was 1910, the place
was an old section of the city of
London, England. W. D. Boyce,
a Chicago publisher, was looking
for a difficult address. He looked
up as a boy in a blue green uni
form approached. The boy saluted
and asked in a Cockney English
voice, “May I be of service, sir?”
Boyce thanked him and explained
his plight. “Please follow me,
sir,” he said and soon led the pub
lisher to the pilace he wanted to
go.
Like the typical American tour
ist, Boyce reached in his pocket
and offered the boy a sixpence,
but to his surprise, the lad refus
ed to take it, explaining, “You see,
sir, I’m a Scout. Socuts don’t ac
cept tips for courtesies.” “Scouts,”
said Boyce, “What are Scouts?
’’Tell me about them.” The boy
did and added, “Lord Baden-Pow-
ell’s offices are right around the
corner, he can tell a lot more
about them than I can, sir. He or
ganized them.”
Boyce was so interested that,
forgetting abou his errand, he fol
lowed the boy. Thus came about
the meeting that led to the found
ing of the Boy Scouts of America.
Boyce collected all the informa
tion he could, and when he sailed
back to America, he was instru
mental in bringinf about this
famous organization.
Throughout the world now the
total membership of the Boy
Scouts exceeds eight million, a
number larger than any standing
army in the world, even in these
troubled times. At a time of crisis,
like the Grensboro tornado, the Boy
Scouts are among the first to vol
unteer their aid; and in England,
China and Egypt, the Scouts are
right up on the line of fire.
From the seventh through the
thirteenth of this month, the Boy
Scouts of America will celebrate
Anniversary Week, their week, in
which the Scouts of this great
country will pedge again, “On my
honor I will do my best to do my
duty to God and my country, and
to obey the Scout Law, to help
other people at all times and to
keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and m o r ally
straight.”
Spring is coming soon with
styles, fashions and fads; but just
now let’s deal with what a high
school swain should wear on a date.
For example, let’s take J. W. H.
The new striped shirts with white
collars seem to be peppy; a strip
ed, checbed, mingled or solid with
pants to match, or odd pants, will
be accepted by authorities as per
missible. Shine those shoes, boyc
or you are not well groomed. Slick
your hair, and ho-ho, and away
you go to see F. H. in that par
ticular spot. Once there, straight
en your shoulders, adjust your tie,
wipe your shoes, and knock! There
you have the idea, but not all the
technicalities.
Now for the schoolboy who also
wants to be noticed for his taste
in clothes. Let’s adorn him in a
pair of green striped pants, a
sweater to match, and a yellow,
red and blue checked shirt that
tacks to the guy a little more
“oomph.” Brown, tan, or black
shoes, well-shined top the outfit.
Rayon, cotton, wool and even sateen
shirts are popular among the males
—and then, they also catch
eyes of the ferns! j!
Pleated, gathered or plain shirts
are being featured as a fad among
the boys. Also full-cut shirts, bag
gy sleeves and tails are nice to
have in your wardrobe.
\The new Falmouth shirts, white
jackets, knitted lisle shirts, cotton
gabardine pants and moccasins are
a feature of spring styles.
Boys, this is i/oiir column, so
send any suggestions you may have
to the POINTER office.

ty. Losses have been met at the
hands of Kernersville, DeMolay,
and Trinity.
One of the main reasons that the
Reidmen are picked to win over
Greensboro is the fact that the
Jayvees trounced Junior High,
while Junior High defeated Gi'eens-
boro.
Although no game has yet been
announced, it is a virtual certain
ty that the Jayvees will play next
Friday night in a preliminary to
the High Point-Gastonia game.
Sometime in the near future a re
turn match with the Gate-City
Junior Varsity is planned for
Greensboro, while the Jayvees
may travel to Winston next week
to play Winston-Salem Jayvees.

high hips and a wondrous skirt
of red, white and green flaring out
from them down toward her dain
ty feet.
She was a perfect picture of the
Bohemian beauty ys
Bohemian country woman of twen
ty years ago.
After some questioning the
judge that she was trying to mail
a letter to sister back in old Bo
hemia and she got the maibox and
the fire alarm box mixed up. She
told that this was her fortieth
birthday and so she had put on
her old country dress and had
gone out to mail the letter herself.
Then she had made the mistake.
The expressio non her face as she
talked to the judge said that she
felt that it was right to talk this
thing over with the judge. He
would understand.
The judge found it hard to go
ahead. He asked if she knew any
thing about the country and she
told that she had come here fifteen
years ago.
Then he asked her somenatur-
alization questions. What hap
pened in 1776? Who was George
Washington? Who were General
Grant and General Lee? To all
of these her face was blank, with
out apology. She didn’t know.
The judge tride one last ques
tion.
Slowly her eyes brightened. A
smiled suffused her whole rosy
face with a glow fof transcend
ent affection. She was a study in
exotic beauty. “Oh, we all know
Mr. Lincoln in my old country,”
she said slowly and happily. “He
is our friend.” She kept smiling
as the heart that fell silent sev
enty-five years ago still sent its
warmth to one and another, even
into the little far away farms ov
er the seas.
In the silence the judge said
softly to the clerk, “Sentence sus
pended.” Then, “Goodbye, Ma-
rinka. You are a good American.”
She turned, with that shining
smile still on her face, and walk
ed down the aisle. A policeman
and a fireman turned and escorted
her out. One could read in their
backs the respect and the defer
ence they would accord to any
lady of the land.
—Ladies Home Jowtifial
The hot box: Yokeley says we
are jealous because we are not on
her sucker list which she admits
Rochelle heads. How true, how
true. Can’t blame her about Jack,
though; since, when money talks,
she doesn’t miss a word. What
pretty young lady gets jewelry
fi'om one of her beaus, and let’s
another have it? Seems she did
not heed the letter, but you can’t
blame us for trying.
Heard in Greensboro: Coach Bob
Jameison commented to one of his
playei's that High Point was not
ed for bad sportsmanship. He was
wrong, of course, but he had a
reason to say that. Our fans
booed down Greensboro’s attempt
to have organized yells. Let’s
don’t forget our manners away
from home. If we can’t keep them
all the time, don’t forget them
out of town.
Miss Maria Gambarelli, a tal
ented ballet dancer, will appear
Monday night, February 10th, in
the last of a series of programs
presented by the Cooperative Con
cert Association.
Miss Gambarelli was born of a
family gifted in the arts of danc
ing. She began her career as a
little girl with the Metropolitan
Opera Ballet. In a very short
while her ambition, determination
and natural artistry caused the
great Pavlowa to take such an in
terest as to spend many hours
each week in personal work with
her. Just prior to her death, Pav
lowa set aside a pair of ballet
slippers on which she had inscrib
ed: 'Yfo Maria Gambarelli—^my
logical successor—^Anna Pavlowa.”
Miss Gambarelli has danced her
way from coast to coast in dance
recitals and ballet performances.
About her success Miss Gambar
elli has only this to say: “I am
thankful to have been able to
work with the greatest teachers—
Pavlowa, Albertieri, Ceccheti and
Fokine, and I am grateful to have
been born with such a love of the
dance in my soul.
Several well known columnists
have given her words of praise
for her rendition of “Snow
Flakes.” This is one of her fav
orite dances. Everyone should
see this performance, not only be
cause it is entertaining, but be
cause f(*v will have the chance to
see as great a dancer in a lifetime
as Miss Gambarelli.
Dear Bill:
We have been wanting to write
to you for sometime in regard to
a certain cheerleader.
On her can be laid the blame
for starting this “blow giAm”
fad. Such is deplorable and could
have only been conceived in a
childish mind, or in one bent
solely on attracting attention.
We are inclined to believe it’s a
little bit of both.
Her antics have become un
pleasant to many people besides
us, and we hope she will realize
her mistakes and stop being so
foolish as she was in regard to
the chewing gum.
