Friday May 1, 1942 THE POINTER Page 5 Flagler Is Chosen New Editor-In-Chief Of Pointer Managing Editor MANAGING EDITOR — Gilbert Furgurson, who takes over the old position oif Fred Flagler as POINTER managing editor. Senior Plans For Post Graduation Activities Varied Your inquiring reporter re cently asked a few of the seniors their plans after graduation. The results were interesting as well as varied. Figures show that Uncle Sam will get a good many of the boys while business schools and offices will take the majority of the girls. “Monk” Watkins, president of the student body, is planning to attend Citadel. Eleanor Younts, Helen Clark, Nancy Woollen and Estelle Leyton will be the future “Grables” at W. C. Mary Aycoth, Jacklyn Daniels, and Marjorie Russell are in the market for an office position (PS: if their boss is a Casanova). Dot Moffitt and Frances Dearman will take a business course. Jack Ahl and “Pinky” Hedrick are looking forward to spending the next few years at UNC, pro viding Uncle Sam doesn’t get them first. Bill Peak is going to State, while John Haworth, edi tor of the Pointer, will go to Guil ford College. I went “out of this world” when Winfred Johnson said he was goin to join the Coast Guards, and Jimmy Current, the Marines. Girls, doesn’t the very thought of the uniforms get you all excited? Jacquelyn Price will attend WC with plans to teach English in the near future. Ernestine Hancock plans to study journal ism “somewhere.” Thelma Week- ley hopes to get a job “some place.” Tommye Stanton is going to college but has not yet decid ed upon a definite one. Meredith College seems to have captured the “ambitious” Willa Grey Lewis, and Lenoir-Rhyne beckons to Betty Jean Culver. It has been rumored that Dot Pe- gram and Dot Highfill will go to Elon as majorettes, while Eleanor Dodamead is headed for S. C. Byron Grandjean ,as well as a number of other seniors, will at tend HPC. Julia Faye Setliff, Lib Reid, Elaine Kirkman, W. R. Benson, and Weyland Linthicum are “still wondering about it themselves.” Melvin Hayes is very much rm- decided. For instance: she might be a senior next year, or she might attend Furman, or HPC, or WC . . . then again, sHe might be come a “Mrs.” The following are waiting for the outcome of the war before they themselves decide what to do: Beverly Merchant, Pat Steed, Jerry Hedrick, and Violet Yoke- ley. Many Former Students Now In Service Inquiring around some more this week your inquiring reporter asked a lot of questions and com piled some facts about the sons of High Point high school who are at the present time in the ser vices of their country. I don’t pretend to say that I got the names of all the boys, but I collected quite a number, and the Pointer would appreciate knowing the names of any more who are not included in this ar ticle. Buss Overcash, former gridiron and baseball star, is at present in the Air Corps in Texas. Clifton Furgurson, also a football man, is in the army in Fresno, Cahfomia. Fate Sasser and Thurman Hor- ney, two more well-known foot ball men are in the Air Corps; Fate in Georgia, and Thurman in Arizona. M. C. Kimsey is in the army in Texas, as is Joe Given. Sinclair Homey is stationed at Panama. The marine corps got its share with Bus Black stationed at Chi cago, Clarence Leonard and Bob by Holt at Parris Island, and Thomas Henderson also in the corps. The navy didn’t fare quite so well, claiming only Knox Wilson and Leon Caison, and Harlan Reed in the Air Corps. To Succeed John Haworth As Head Of Local Student Publication For 42-43 Willard Named Business Manager; Furgurson New Managing Editor NEW BOSS Art Feature Few students today, ever real ize the beauty and importance of the art which is in our school. Few people ever see the pictures, busts, statues of plaques which are - scattered throughout the building. Beginning in the library, we find one of the best and most ex pensive pieces of art in the school, “The Doge’s Palace,” by George W. Edwards. This picture is lo cated near the entrance doors of 205. During the year, 1927, art was emphasized and with the aid of Mrs. Arryington, who paid one-half of the cost of “The Doge’s Palace,” it was presented to the school. The value of this picture is five thousand dollars; however, it cost the school only one thousand, half of which was paid for by Mrs. Arryington. Also in the library is the picture “King Lear,” by Edwin Abbey, an American artist. EDITOR — Fred Flagler, who has been named to succeed John Haworth as POINTER editor. Staff Members To Attend Chapel Hill Convent'n May 8, 9 Journalism students from all parts of the state will gather at Chapel HUl May 8 and 9, to at tend the Annual Press Confer ence held at the University of North Carolina. Members of the Pointer staff will represent High Point at this meeting. Each year official delegates are chosen to represent High Point High. Five official delegates have been selected this year. They are: John Haworth, Thelma Weekley, Fred Flagler, Anna Lou Doctor, and Mary Elizabeth Barton. All have held various important po sitions this year on the Pointer. Miss Best, journalism teacher and Pointer adviser, will accompany the delegates. Besides the ones selected as delegates others planning to at tend the conference are: D. L. Barker, Gilbert Furgurson, Dick Ring, Pinky Hedrick, Dick Wright, Bob Martin, Gene Car- riker, Fred Swartzberg, Melvin Hayes, Beverly Merchant, Joyce Tuttle, Margie Slack, and Bob Hicks. Fred Flagler, now manag ing editor of the Pointer, will serve as editor-in-chief of the paper for the 1942-’43 school year, it was announced by Miss Eloise Best, faculty ad viser of the Poinier. Other staff members for the coming year include Ray Willard, as business manager, who chalk ed up an outstanding record as a member of this year’s business staff, and Gilbert Furgurson, who will take over Flagler’s old du ties as managing editor. Succeeding John Haworth as editor, Flagler has made for him self an outstanding record, and, although a first year student, his work as managing editor and as a member of the sports staff left little to be desired. Although as yet not officially announced, Flagler will probably be named as publicist of the ath letic department within the near future, also succeeding John Ha worth in that office. Upon notification of his ap pointment as editor, Flagler stat ed that he would do his utmost to produce a paper next year of which the faculty and students of this school could well be proud. Willard, perhaps better known for his work as a member of the upper house of the student coun cil, and his work on the student council handbook, has served as a ranking member of the busi ness department this year, which Furgurson, too, while active in other school affairs, this year turned out some of the best edi torial pages the Pointer has pub lished, while his skill as a fea ture writer has been of great aid in giving variety to this year’s paper. Bobby Holt Visits High High Point High School “From the halls of Montezuma, To the shores of Tripoli.” That’s the song of Bobby Holt, former student at this school, who visited here this week.
