“America’s Junior Town Meeting

“Should public schools educate for
marriage and family relations ?
Each student entering the contest
submitted a speech of not more
than 600 words.
Editors to Select Best Papers
The speech adjudged the best

Our Times. The editors of the
paper will select the 24 most prom
ising students as semifinalists.
Each semifinalist will be noti
fied to appear at a nearby Amer
ican Broadcasting Company studio

the station will interview the can

to the speaking ability of the pro
posed candidate.
Town Hall to Choose Finalists
The speeches, teacher’s nomina
tions and recommendations, pho
tographs, records of voice tests,
and opinions of station managers
will in turn be sent to Town Hall.
Using all this information, the
staff at Town Hall will select the
eight finalists, one of whom will
be from Washington, the host
city.
The seven finalists from other
sections of the country will travel
to the capital city during the
week of the broadcast as the
guests of Our Times— They will
meet Mr. George Denny, moder
ator, and his staff. Four of the
finalists will then be selected to
be the speakers on “America’s
Junior Town Meeting of the Air.”
OVER 200 NEW BOOKS
ACQUIRED BY LIBRARY
Over two hundred new books
are to be placed on the shelves of
the high school library shortly,
and the display case will feature
projects from the various depart
ments. This week book jackets de
signed and made by members of
Miss Young’s English classes are
attracting favorable attention.
Mrs. Nancy K. Poston, librarian,
believing that the library should
be a place for intelligent work and
study, is putting into operation a
new plan. In order to carry this
out, the library will be closed to
the general public each Wednes
day, but various class groups will
work there under supervision. Ar
rangements to do this will neces
sarily have to be made in advance.

The presentation of the trees
was made by Mrs. J. F. Hayden.
Mr. Charles F. Carroll accepted
the gift in the name of the city
schools. Following the address by
Mr. Roy S. Braden, the program
ended with the singing of “Trees”
by Betty Jo Smith.
It’o a Known fact that newspa
per reporters in interviewing- fa
mous people often try to extract
coveted “statements” for their
their own publications. The Point
er lately had such aspirations at
the time that Mr. George Denny
brought his famous “Town Meet
ing” to this city.
In anticipation of possible inter
views, the staff tried to think up
questions which they hoped would
sound intelligent. Plans included
all four speakers, if possible, but
Mr. Harold Stassen, candidate for
the Republican nomination, in
particular.
When the night arrived, two of
ficial-looking Pointer reporters
were at the high school promptly
at 6:45. At last after a wearisome
wait of over thirty minutes,
the young journalists were shoved
by the mass of people into a couple
of good seats, but they looked with
envy towards the desks facing the
speakers’ stand, reserved exclu
sively for the Press.
Following the program, the re
porters made a mad rush for the
stage to see the celebrities before-
they made their exit. Eyeing Mr.
Stassen, who was surrounded by a
group of dignitaries, the Pointer
representatives edged their way
through the political “high
brows,” took their places beside a
couple of senators, and introduced
themselves to the beaming ex-gov
ernor.
Before he was pulled away by
his colleagues, the triumphant
young reporters secured the fol
lowing statement: “I like your
city and town very much, and I
was delighted to see so many
young people at the broadcast to
night.”

will probably be necessary to omit
some of the activities of the last
part of the year. The theme of this
year’s annual will center around
the ideals of High Point as an in
