Page Four THE POINTER Friday May 1, 1942 \ D. C. Lawson Given Name By Members Of Miss Best’s English Class “What!! You don’t have a name!” This was the startled ex clamation coming from the Eng lish room of Miss Eloise Best, English teacher and adviser of this colossal paper (that’s our opinion), as she found out that one of her home room pupils was minus a first name. D. C. Law- son, the tall, light, and handsome victim, of the circumstance ex plained that his first name was D. C. However, he did not know what D. C. stood for. After much verb slinging, the students of 209 decided to inflict a name to suit themselves upon the unfortunate individual. Names were sug gested, an election was held, and after final votes were tabulated, the title of David Carlton Lawson was the John Hancock of this personality. Mr. Lawson says, I quote, “It’s a racket,” unquote. Wing To Be Ready Within Two Weeks According to an announcement made by Mr. Charles F. Carroll, the new wing added to the build ing will probably be completed in two weeks. “When it has been completed the shops will be moved and work will continue there. How ever, since there will only be three weeks of school left the other departments will not move until the new year begins,” stated Mr. Carroll. Work began last fall on the new addition, but work was sus pended for a few weeks, on ac count of the steel shortage at that particular time. The new addition greatly en larges the vocational training program that has been going on in full blast for almost two years.

The creations from Betty Lou Shoppe are sweetly simple and each dress has an individual per sonality. For instance, there is a frothy white dotted Swiss with bands of eyelet, and a full, full skirt. The wide ruffle at the bottom gives the dress an old-fashioned look, and is just the thing to get away from the drabness of dark clothes you’ve been wearing. It was created by Carlyle and is priced low. Also in white is the waffle pique swing skirt with top of elec trifying red and white eyelet. The tiny square neckline enhances a pretty face. It also comes with blue basque and is well worth a $7.98 investment. Classic shirtwaists get more popular each year and the Carol King original from Betty Lou Shoppe is really different. The skirt is cut in a way to high light the lines and is flower bor dered in brown. Made of wash able spun rayon, it’s very en livening when all around you seems wilted. For the damsel who really likes originality ,there is a white crepe jumper with a convertible jalot. The jalot has two bright appli- qued flowers and buttons to a pleated skirt. The blouse is blue and white striped jersey. In this you’re destined to make “his” heart beat faster. You’ll be striking in the seer sucker dress with tucked shoul ders and skirt. Seven sponge but tons accentuate a square neck with petite bow. Take your choice, red, green, or brown stripes. For just $3.98 you may be the owner of a chambray dress with srtiped top and solid skirt. The top is made even more effective by the musical note and scale. It comes in yummy blue. Look fresh and comfortable at the end of a grueling day in a washable glazed Chintz that cap tures the spirit of summer with its floral print and pleated skirt, With it comes a belt of tan and ine this at only $4.98. Another outstanding suit is the ice blue linen made on military lines. The jacket, punctuated with gilt buttons, is extra long with a slightly defined waist-line, two vertical straps which buckle near the waist, and a pleated-all- around skirt. Quaint, but not coy, is the Joan Miller Original in red and white tissue gingham. The top has a double collar, appliqued basket, and opens in the back with a zip per below the waistline. The dirndl, extra full, is made to look even fuller by the bands. Imag ine this at only -4.98. Last, but certainly not least, are the play clothes.

MAIN ST. miBiigaiiiiBiiiBiiiii I lam (By Harry Savas) DID YOU KNOW THAT: Mu sicians who play the trumpet con stantly develop protruding chins? One who plays a saxophone has a chin that recedes? The poor fel low who plays constantly will have a chin that—you figure it out. I’m all mixed up. You can catch cold in one ear if you sit be side a jitterbug who plays an ac- ordian which leaks? Guitar play er’s finger-tips get insensible and stay that way for life? Trombon ists are always punishing their fellow musicians in frontby ex tending their slides out too far? Many violinists have lost their eyesight because of a broken string? Gene Krupa does not chew gum while beating on the drums, what he really does is shout “Bread and Butter and Pork Crops,” No one knows why except Gene himself: Woody Her man's real name is Woodrow Wil son Herman? Bing Crosby start ed his musical career singing for Paul Whiteman? Bob Crosby’s ambition is to hear someone say “Bing Crosby is Bob’s brother,” instead of the vice-versa he hears all time? Xavier Cugat, the rum ba king from Spain, draws cari catures of his fellow baton-wa vers, as a hobby? Tony Pastor’s father is a minister, (who said minister’s sons didn’t succeed?) Ray Noble is a talent scout as well as a comedian, bandleader, and composer? Kate Smith has never had a music lesson in her life? Frankie Masters was work ing in a bank before he started bossing the boys of the band? Guy Lombardo has been in the radio spotlight for almost fifteen years. He plays fast music about as sel dom as Hitler tells the truth? BITS AND HITS. The senti mental hit “Somebody Else,” started at the bottom of the lad der only a few weeks ago. With amazing speed its popularity has increased, making it the nation’s choice hit of the week. Wonder why “I Don’t Wanna Walk With out You,” has fallen down? It was all right. “We’re Gonna Have to Slap the Dirty Little Jap” is gaining popularity so fast that before anyone knows it, it will take its place among the leading songs of the nation. Say! What’s happening to all the love songs we used to hear? Oh, yeah, we have plenty, but before the war there were nothing but songs of romance, now you find patriotic tunes filling their places. There are many that are becoming well known and well liked. Some of the best are: “Any Bonds To day,” “Remember Pearl Harbor,” “To the Shores of Tripoli,” “Stamp, Stamp Out the Jap,” “Watch Out Tokyo,” “Wake Up Old Glory,” “Dear Mom,” “I Paid My Income Tax Today,” and many, many more. We are sorry to hear “Deep In the Heart of Texas” dying so fast. Oh, well, it was too monotonous, anyhow. We Buy Anything of Value! The Student’s FrieTid JAKE HARRIS “The Old Boy Himself” Visit DIANA SHOPS for THE SMARTEST AND MOST UP-TO-DATE FORMALS also SPORT TOGS Senior Hi-Y Hears Oswald Blatt Of High Point College Oswald Blatt, Austrian refugee attending High Point College, Monday night addressed the High Point Senior Hi-Y club, telling of his experiences under the Nazi go'^ernment. “Life under Hitler,” stated Blatt, “is by no means a pleasant thing, I’m glad that I could get out when I did. That was in 1938.” Blatt went on to say that he was able to leave before condi tions became as bad as they are at the present time, although his mother and father still live about twenty miles from Vienna. Germans and Austrians, he de- lared, have failed to get along well together, primarily because the Germans are highly efficient, while the Austrians are more or less inclined to be easy-going. When asked what he thought of the rumors that Austria was ready to revolt, he replied that “He only hoped the rumors were true, but when a man is deprived of food, a machine gun is a mighty hard thing to face.” “Under the Nazis, distrust is a prime factor,” Blatt went on, “and you never know who to trust. Your next door neighbor might be an agent of the secret police, and one statement against the government might give you a berth in a concentration camp.” The Germans are also sticklers for red tape, and in getting his passport to come to America, Blatt said when he got one paper, it took so long to get the next, that the first expired, and that he was kept going in circles try ing to get his papers all in order. Blatt has not heard from his pa rents since early in February, he said, and then indirectly. That was the first time he had heard since Germany declared .war on the United States. Citizens of the occupied coun tries have not been taken into the German army, he stated, since the danger of revolt would be too great. Austrians, however, are seeing service in the army of the Reich, since Austria was incorp orated into Germany proper, not merely occupied.
