Under your influence the morale of the student body has reached new heights, and there has been a broader participation in school activities on the part of all students. Many of your members have attained high scholastic standing, and you have pro duced winners in the various activities. We are con fident that your experiences here in working and learning together will be valuable aide ih all your future endeavors. Many of you will go on with school, while others will enter employment on leav ing here. You will be loyal to High Point High School after graduation, and your school will be in terested in the success of each of its graduates. We wish for all of you success and happiness. —D. P. WHITLEY. WeVe Done Our Part We have now written the final words of the 1947 PEMICAN, and upon doing so I would like to thank the many students and teachers who have made this publication possible. To the staff, the staff assistants, the faculty, and the entire student body who have all given much of their time and effort, I would like to express my deepest appreciation. Few people realize how much work is required in publishing a school yearbook. This extensive work TfOtlld liever have~5een accomplished without concentrated effort on the part of many people. It is to this group that I wish to say, “Thank you.” Because of an unexpected delay in engraving for which we still have no explanation, your annual will be late this year. From the beginning of school w'* have worked on a schedule which should have per mitted delivery of the PEMICAN to you 'before the close of school. Engravings were held up in Chicago to an extent that printing was delayed thirty days. The staff is very much disappointed in this, but it could not be helped. We are however, anticipating delivery about the middle of July. The staff joins in extending heartiest congratula tions to the new staff and wishes for them a success ful year. -JAMES JOHNSON. Good Luck And dood-By Each year of my school life, heretofore, I have loked forward to the summer holidays with an un concealed desire to be free, to leave school behind, and to be rid of its books and papers and everything signifying school. This year, however, this feeling has changed. I •now feel as though I were parting with a real friend whose companionship I am never to enjoy again. No doubt many of you feel the same way, for we shall never be able to walk down these halls again, rec ognizing each one as a student of High Point high school, or have our club meetings and lunch period bull sessions. Nor will those who participated in varsity sports enjoy the friendliness felt among the teammates of a high school team. Although we can never experience these things again, we do have them to remember. For the years to come I should like to wish everyone of our grad uates all the luck ip the world in everything that he or she may attempt. —BUDDY BOYLES. Here’s To You! Here’s to our senior class! That sounds awfully simple and unassuming, doesn’t it? And, goodness knows, it certainly is devoid of all the flowery sentimentalism that usually accom pany speeches. We’re talking to you straight from the shoulder. No school could have 'asked for a better all-round or a more live-wire class than you have been. You have set a high standard for future seniors of High Point high to follow. On behalf of all the undergraduate classes, there fore, we say “Thanks for everything” to this “swell” group of seniors, who will leave H. P. H. S. on June 2, never to return as members of her classes. Good luck, seniors, and again. . . . Here’s to you! Imogene Haney: “People in gen eral.” Eddie Tinsley: “What do you think?” Margaret Washburn: “Going back to Mrs. Rogers.” Frances Griffith: “A Capella Chior.” Don Huber: “Everything.” Jean Montgomery: The band, orchestra. Miss Frank, and Mr. Gatwood.” Dot Clodfelter and Hazel Zim- “Johnsie.” (Joanne Sechre^TT'j“Being a Cheer- eader.' Lloyd Brown: “Good-looking wo men.” Jimmie Kent: “Gettin’ out of first and last periods.’” Paula J. Buie: “I don’t know— Let me think.” Jack Hawks: “Just loafin’, I reckon.” ,^J^riald Spencer!^ “My buddies.” Doris Allen: “Seeing Bill at lunch.” Wilma Summey: “Driving school.” Bobbie Dameron: “H. J.” Bobbie Myers and Eloise Garner: “Our daily jitterbugging con tests in the store.” Libby Yates: “Studying.” Esma Shelton: “The good times in Bible class.” Donald Hooper: “Failing history and playing football.” Ray Collins: “Meeting Ikie after classes.” Doris Nance: “Last row in second period chior.” Bill Ward: “I/>oking at Betsy Hardin.” Felix Miller: “Figures.” ^Betty-Jo-IJarris: “Nothing much.” Leon Greeny “I’ll miss sophomores most.’’ (We wonder which one?) Boscoe: Nothing. lOXOXOXCXCZOX^XOXCXClOJ They Wrote For Us This Time oxoxoxoxoxoxoxox>zox>x Nellie We did it! The Pointer staff stepped outside its ranks to invite a few of our capable seniors to lend their journalistic talents for the senior issue of the paper, the last for this year. We found these accommodating ‘ schoolmates in typical surroundings, where we talked with them concerning their p4ns for the future. “Beefy” the campus, minus her shoes. Be tween bits of popsicle, she divulged her plan to attend St. Leo’s School of Nursing next year. Nellie’s out standing ability should make' Iftr top-notch in her chosen profession. Bob Renfrow, who wrote the class history, was seated in Miss' Meador’s history class, rubbing the fragrant cream from his jar of Pocquins on what he termed his “diseased hands.” Being in a rare philosophical mood at this time. Bob stated that “out of life I want a wife, lour kids, three automo biles, one' speedboat, an airplang, and a complete head of hair all my life.” Before all these wishes materialize, however, he plans to spend four years at Duke Univer sity. “The one asleep on his desk,” di rected Miss Milling when we asked in which part of. the movie room ■Buddy Boyles could be found. “Beefy” grinned amiably at the intruder and stated that he was “entering State next fall, if I can,, to major in electrical engineering.”' Buddy wrote the farewell the senior class. We found Nellie Reaves, author of both the class poem and the class song, seated comfortably on Bouncing into the Pemican of fice to talk to James Johnson, we were surprised to find his desk surrounded by people, all waiting to see him. It seems that appoint ments with him must be ahead of time, so the next best thing—sug gested by secretary Pat Conrad— was that we call this “Big Wheels Blowing.” James, whose contribu tion is the Pemican article on page two, will be' off to Carolina next year.

L) As plans now stand, the seniors are going to be more rushed during graduation week (so called week of leisure) than at any other time previously. The scheduled “last flings” will keep them going from morning ’til midnight. » ♦ ♦ Roving Casanova, Eddie Tinsley has at last settled his affections on “Jane Eyre”. ♦ ♦ ♦ ‘ Saturday, May 3, was quite a ead day for all the “fortunates” who glided blissfully (?) over the floor at the Demolay skating party the night before.

Pleas-s-ee?” >!c 4c I “Oh, for a cooked hamburger!” was a familiar echo at the Key Club picnic.
