Page Four THE POINTER Friday, January 24, 1941 Cornell to Award Scholarships Soon Ithaca, N. Y., Jan 27—An in crease in the number of John Mc Mullen Regional Scholarships in Engineering to be awarded by Cornell University to secondary school seniors during the spring of 1941 has been announced by Dean S. C. Hollister of the College of Engineering. An additional appro priation for scholarships has been made by the Board of Trustees, and more than the usual 30 awards will be made in the 15 districts which cover the entire United States except New York State. John McMullen Scholarships now carry variable stipends i/p to $400 a year throughout the four or five- year course in the College of En gineering. Awards are based on character and general ability as well as on academic distinction. Application banks have been dis tributed to high school principals, and may be obtained either from the dean of the College in Ithaca. All applications must be filed in the Dean’s Office by April 1. Fields of study open to students in the College include mechanical, civil, electrical, and chemical en gineering, and administrative en gineering in mechanical, civil, or electrical engineering.

Of High Point WHISPERING GRASS 1 EIGHTEEN STUDENTS (Continued from page 1) Dear L. C.: Since you have come to _high school this year as a sophomore you have made many a feminine heart flutter, and rightly so. Those flutters have started with the sen iors and have come down to your class. We think you are fortun ate, in a way, but there are two sides to everything. Whether you realize it or not you are not like you were when you first came here. Maybe you are merely feeling a little older since you have played such nice ball on the Junior Varsity. Maybe, too, you are feeling your success a lit tle, but that is certainly fine. We have no criticism to make of you personally. But take into consideration this fact. Little birds shouldn’t fly too high; often their little wings break and down they come, and the landing isn’t any too soft.. Don’t let these senior girls who compliment you sweep you off your feet. They won’t be there to catch you when you fall. Take your progress a step at a time, and watch your love affairs. Confine them to young ladies near er your age than-some of the fair lassies who think you, like plenty of others, are “cute” Watch your step, and keep going as you are, except for a few little details and you will be a student that High Point high school is proud to claim.

Miss Goodman wishes to extend to the students of High Point high school a challenge to become mem bers of the new organized club in H. P. H. S. In the spring, both juniors and seniors will be taken into the Masque and Gavel Society. The Masque and Gavel Society chapter is an indication that the local high school is identified with leaders in educational practices and H. P. H. S. is distinctly honored for there are only two other schools in North Carolina—Lee Edwards, Asheville, and Tabor City—among the 206 schools in 40 states, that have signified their desire to or ganize chapters. The society was formed in the spring of 1940 by a representative group of high school teachers and faculty members of the Northwes tern University School of Speech. It was created only after an exten sive examination of the needs of the field. Also of interest is the fact that several notable persons are among the honorary founders of the na tional club. Some are: Edgar Ber gen, Norman Thomas, John Mason Brown, and H. V. Kaltenbom. The 18' charter members who pay their membership fee are entitled to life membership, a pin, two cer tificates, and a year’s subscription to the Masque and Gavel maga zine.

The induction was held in the auditorium before the assembled junior and senior classes. The tra ditional candle-light service was used, making the ceremony beau tiful and impressive as the mem bers went about the darkened au ditorium with a lighted candle, tapping on the shoulder those chosen for the honor. These were then led to the platform where the president of the society. Ruby Par ker, administered the several pled ges and oaths required before mem bership is complete. After various members explain ed the four principles of the or ganization — scholarship, leader ship, character,-and service—Mary Ann Thomas presented the new members with a torch symbolic of the light of truth and knowledge. The incoming members then placed their torches in the rack with those of the old members, and signed the scroll of membership. Those taken into the society at this ceremony were: Lois Swaim, Bertha Schwab, Charles MacMur- ray. Bill Currie, Gloria Ilderton, Phyllis Strickland, Grady Goldston, W. B. Hall, Mayr Lou Bennett, Mary Jo Wilson, Mary Ann Coe, Betty Brockmann, Willie Lugani, Clark Wilson, James Coorigan, Nancy Meredith, Catherine Albert son, Helen Gibson, Luther Brown, Hale Hardee, Edythe Seckler, Mary Frances Whitt, and Sarah Scruggs. Closing the service, the presi dent, Ruby Parker, issued a chal lenge to the other students to try to be eligible when the spring in duction takes place. Members are elected into this society on the basis of the four standards for which it stands: sch olarship, leadership, character, and service. The upper third of a class are eligible scholastically, and from these the faculty elests to the society those best suited in ac cordance with the other principles. Since the society has such high standards, it is considered an honor to be elected to it. 0. 0. HOPEFULS SHOULD BE PLANNING SAYS MR. JUDISH “Those students planning to en ter Diversified Occupations should be thinking seriously about their plans” said Mr. Judish recently to a POINTER representative. Blanks will soon be sent to the home rooms to be filled out by those students who plan to enter this course. When these blanks are returned to rjr. Judish, he will begin per sonal interviews. Mr. Judish states he wants only those students with high grades and who really mean business. When he starts his interviews, those are some of the qualities he will look for. “Some students,” says Mr Ju dish, “thinks that D. O. is just a means of getting out, of school half a day, but this is entirely the wrong attitude.” SUBSCRIBE To The POINTER New Features, Pictures and Columns to Come In The Future Subscribe Now Second Semester 25c PROWLING TOM CAT (By Tom Henderson) High School students are talking about:— The movie that the student council put on.

Just Browsing Full of romance and adventure is the exciting book, “Dive Bom ber,” by Robert A. Winston. It is the account of the life of an avia tor of the United States Navy re lated in such a vivid manner that no boy who plans to make aviation his life work could afford to miss reading it. Actual facts of the United States navy are related, for few authors could be better equipped with in formation concerning cadet avia tion training than is Mr. Winston. He gave up a career in the news paper world to become an aviator. In this book his experiences at Pen sacola and, after his graduation, his adventured with the Pacific fleet, are recounted. The book is of a type that will interest readers of all ages. In Place of Alimony SAN FRANCISCO —Felix Ce- rutti told Municipal Judge Meikle he had not paid his divorced wife $25 for a month for the support of their child because when they separated he gave her his delica tessen store and figured she could feed the child out of a whole de licatessen store. The judge reduc ed the support allowance to $20 a month. Win Her Heart SEND HER FLOWERS Elliott’s Floral Co.

All games start at 3:35. If two games are scheduled, the second game will begin at 4. If you can’t play, come on down and give your team a little encouragement. In case you didn’t know it, there are some pretty good players on those basketball teams. Among the most outstanding ones are Jackie Steed, Garnett Hinshaw, Rachel Sappenfield, Betty Sebastian, Aar- garet Idol, Loretta Hedrick, Marion Lowe, Sara Layton, Donna Burns, Doris Snyder, and Barbara Lynn. Orchids to you, ladies. Bowling is sharing the lime light with basketball now. The girls are becoming acquainted with this slenderizing sport by the way of rubber pins and balls. Seems that they are plenty good at it, too. Lassies, our attendance at the basketball games is slightly im proved, or, at least, it was at the conference game. Get the old foot ball crowd together and go to the games. You really have a grand time. If it’s refreshments you miss, bring you rown. We have some exciting games scheduled and we do have a grand team — so bundle up and attend. By the way, don’t forget to cheer, but be care ful and don’t bounce too much— the seats aren’t made of cement. Training is really soaring along. Dear old H. P. H. S. is going to have a bumper crop of letter ladies next spring if points continue to come as thick and fast as they are now. Phyllis Strfckland, points chairman, really has a job keeping track of them. So long and keep up the good work. SOCIETY NOTES Reba Lloyd, Helen Pierce, “Lib” Reid, and Ethel Beck were joint hostesses at a party which was re cently given at the Reid home. The large number of guests en joyed dancing and games, after which delicious refreshments were served. During the recent Convocation of Churches, which was held in High Point, the high school chorus furnished music for the afternoon session of Wednesday, January 15. Among the many persons who have gone to various camps for military training are several form er H. P. H. S. students. Some of these are: Floyd Bryant, Warren Yow, Lewis Hayes, Bob Robinson, and Jimmie Sloope. J. E.

High Point, N. C. PHONE 4553 POINTERS TRIP BULLS AND YELLOW JACKETS; MAROONS TRIP BLUES Turning in consistently good performances for the past three tilts, the Bison have come out on top, except for the one fray when they were stopped by the stubborn Asheville quint. Their season rec ord to date is better than a lot of the top high schools who have been defeated more than twice, which amounts to the total number of setbacks suffered by the Pointers in eight starts. Fresh from their victory over the rangy freshmen of Davidson on Thursday night, the locals hit a stone wall Saturday as they went down by a long count against the Asheville Maroons, 42-31. This equalled their early season loss to the Durham Bulls before the Christmas holidays. That lone Sat urday evening the locals’ top of fensive stars were held in check as Doug R-eid tallied only nine points, while Johns led the opponents with fifteen. LOOP TUSSLE Taking to the court Tuesday a week ago, the Bison lived up to their old name of being reliable in a close spot. Coming back strong after they were walloped by Ashe ville, the Bison took Salisbury into camp and did everything but carry the framed net from the backboard as they left the hardwood with a 42-25 victory over the Rowan County five. , In this tangle, a less experi enced player took the highlight from his older mates, as he did in the fray Tuesday against Durham as he and Welborn once again set the scoring pace for the Furniture City five. Dorsett won the honors for Salisbury as his team met their first setback in loop competition. Looking like imdgets or some thing just out of the crib, the Blues took the hardwood against all odds as they faced the Durham Bullls for a return engagement between the two. In the first meeting of the two schools, the Bison were steam-rollered in Woollen Gym last March. In the pre-Christmas game, the six-foot three lads of Durham kept things in hand .to win 85-32,... Last Tuesday, it was another tale, the Pointers showing the Bulls up in every department to drive the walloped and badly defeated Bull dogs home by the lop-sided count of 46-28. Again Reid and Welborn set the stage for the locals’ attack on offense, with Short close behind. —For- SAFE, DEPENDABLE SERVICE Call 4531 Blue Bird Cab Co.
