\ Friday, April 10, 1942 THE POINTER ADVICE FOR THE LONELY HEART By JERQUE Dear Jerque, My Mother always goes with me on my dates. She is a good dancer and the life of the party, but I feel kinda funny kissing my boy friends good night when she is standing there watching. What shall I do about this mess? Perplexed. Well it seems to me that you have quite a problem on your hands. But here is what I woUld do. The next time you have a \ date invite some young man of your mother’s age over and when they get to know each other pther well, slip out the back r and she won’t miss you, 1 r Jerque, ly boy friend wants me to him every night. My prob- is that I go to school and when I date on school nights my home work goes sadly lacking. What shall I do? Melvin. If your boy friends is the right sort of fellow he will understand. It seems to me that three woo sessions a week would be enough anyway. Dear Jerque, I am a very handsome and dashing yoxmg man. For some reason everyone calls me B. M. O. C. Now my problem is that neqrly all the girls want to date me. How can I fight them off? B. M. O. C. ^ Here is my solution to your problem. Date each one time and if my guess is right you won’t have any. more trouble out of these same girls. OOK REVIEW “"irngrim by' Talbot Mundy, hor of The Black Knight i tale of weird, mysterious ad- iture, of international intrigues 1 infernal engines the like of ich the world has never seen, an inspired, merciless man- nter tracking his dangerous ,>y through the secret places of j East. Major James Schuyler Grim, 'Jimgrim to the Secret Services of the world, has set himself to the task of ferreting out one Dorje, self-styled “King of the World”, a strange, secretive power whose agents, armed with a new poison gas and with electric bombs of ghastly ferocity, are rapidly span ning the world, creating panic and spreading destruction wher ever they go. Beginning in the harbor dives of Marseilles, Jim- grim, Jeff, his robust aid, and others chase through the hidden ’ cellars of Cairo, secret tombs in ,^he pyramids, black dens of In dian cities, to a well-guarded valley in the Himalayas, seeking Dorje. Every part of the sputters with excitement. Compliments of A FRIEND FOR EXPERT TAILORING —See— BERNARD TAILOR 202 West Washington St. MY LIFE STORY (By Gilbert Furgurson) The title of this article may be a bit misleading. It should be— “Who is the world’s biggest jerk and how did I get that way?” In the first place, I was born (that’s logical—but impractical). My first memories consist of a talk between my mother and father. My father pointed at me and asked my mother whether they should bury it, send it to Ripley, or let the cat drag it back out (the cat refused). I was a very lucky child—I was born with a Yo-yo in my mouth. As the years went by, I grew— but not much. In fact, mj' little brother grew so much faster than I, he was twenty-one when I was only fifteen. It was in the third grade (my home for eight years) that I was destined to become an outcast— my coat and pants matched. After years of hard labor, I have finally built up the reputation I have to day. Yes sir, I am the only person in High Point high school that can shoot all my spit-balls with a genuine rubber band.

MAX RONES EDMONDSON BARBER SHOP 102 West Washington Street Expert Workmen—Brower and Smith We Appreciate Your Patronage Dub’s Du^out Have you ever sat and listened to the different noises and like wise watched the expressions on other peoples faces? While sitting in the library the library the other day I tried it— turned out to be very interesting. A very lovely girl who looked as if she had just lost her last friend opened the hall door, look ed around for a minute as if she didn’t want Miss Capel to catch her there, then went hurriedly into the library office leaving the scraping sound of her scandals a thing of the past. Ah! Over there sits Betty Con- der gazing lazily out the window —Oh! well, last night was Sunday ngiht so she probably has memo ries to cherish! Gosh! What has happened to “Dot” Turner? I’ve never seen her so excited—^Who is the boy, anyway? “Dimk” is what you might call not bad, eh, “Dot.” Holy mackeral—“Dub” Benson looks as if he had just won a mil lion dollars—But I guess it’s only that note he just received from Helen Conder. There sits Bill Sizemore just in side the study hall—Boy! Does he look in the dumps—I guess he hasn’t got over a certain girl say ing “Kiss me my fool, Nothing makes me sick,” on his recent re quest of a kiss. Soimds interesting doesn’t it? Try it sometime. MORONS CROAK AFTER BIG SPLASH Fighting in a terrible gruesome battle, two jerks by the names of I. B. Cracked and the “Purplp Yellowjacket”, fell to their death off the Brooklyn bridge. An in nocent bystander who helped me with a little shove said this mas sacre was over a genuine Duncan Yo-Yo. I. M. Cracked was a prominent Wall Street wolf who made a fortune out of making all the red cents that people don’t get. “The Purple Yellowjacket” was the toughest, meanest crook in the world whose hobby was collecting wildflowers. He was the only man in the universe to operate five Yo-Yos at one time. He was arrested once for hoard ing Yo-Yo strings. These are vital in national defense. They are one reason MacArthur is so successful in his campaigns and the main way he saves ammuni tion. The reason is logical. 'When MacArthur wants to fire a gun, he just puts a Yo-Yo string on the shell and after it has done its destruction, it returns, saving enormous amounts of ammuni tion. Anyway, those morons who fell off the Brooklyn bridge might have beei graved if Garbage Scow No. eiiadn’t been passing under the bridge at the time.
