Rotary Sponsors Driving School “The Rotary Club of High Point is to be congratulated on sponsoring a driving school at High Point high and also on equipping it with a dual-control training car,” remarked Sergeant Frank Shields, the police officer ■who is instructor for the course. The driving school, begun on April 21, for the purpose of giving high school students basic instruc tion in managing a car, at first numbered 426. After a week of classroom instruction, an elimina tion had to be made. Seniors, for obvious reasons, were given the preference, and 64 reported for road instruction. Then the fun (?) began. Ser geant Shieds says that most of the nervousness experienced by begin ners comes from having to con trol clutch, gears, and gas while keeping on the road. Some amus ing experien;es resulted at times. “After nine days, though,” the sergeant was serious now, “the students learned more about driv ing than' was expected of them. I think we have done well, as the students are now driving on Main street in our heaviest traffic. Medi ocrity in driving can be awfully unheathful. Anyway our slogan is “ ‘Roses are red, Violets are blue, We hope no accidents Happen to you.’ ” Booth and (Continued From Page One) Charles Childs, who compose the stage committee and each of whom has had two years’ experience. The booth committee is composed of Darrel Voncannon, Bobby Goins, and Neil Griffin; equipment com mittee: Bill Alexander, ^ashbur^ and Harold Reid; and special committee: Jimmy Kent. Thanks a million, booth boys, for serving the school so loyally. OUR DARK-ROO.M BOYS: Serving the school equally as well are the dark-room boys, who were headed again this year by our ‘Johnny on the spot’, Ted Hodge. They can be judged by the splendid work which they have turned out this year and in other years. The pictures in the Pointer and the pictures will later appear in the Pemican prove their worth. All we can say is thanks to you also and good luck, .41ton Embler, as head of the dark-room commit tee for next year. MASCOTS NAMED , (Continued from Page One) Ilderton, a blonde “suspender- stretcher” of two and a half years, were the winners in the race, and on both commencement nights they will head the long line of seniors as they come into the auditorium. CLASS POEM One backward glance suffices now to show The joy and pain, the sorrow, tears, and smiles That once were ours. Departing now, we leave Names carved on wooden desks, and notes in books. And laughter echoing down the sunny walks. All this remains. May all the proms and parties, plays and pageants, Which once to each brought care free joy and laughter. Sometimes in future days remem bered be. “And this they did, and this,” be , said of us. Who now ■ with smiles and tear* prepare to say Our last farewell. Into the unknown now project our thoughts—. The varied walks of life that we shall tread. Whate’er the course, the feeling, still the same In joy, in happiness, will yet re main To soothe the heart—deep loyalty to the 'best. To this, our school. It shall be ours because its halls belong To every student passing through its doons; A part of it remains within each heart ' ; And lingers in the realms of memory. And when these halls no more our faces know. May the kind smile of the gentle heaven above Bless this departing class of forty-seven! SUMMER SCHOOL PLANS OF THINGS TO COME (Continued from Page One) Only students whose records show an average of C or better will Be allowed to register for new courses in English. In the case of a make-up sub ject, one which the student has failed or has not completed, at least thrqe hours a day, or 90 hours for the six weeks, must be devoted to the subject. (Continued from Page Three) —former classmates faded from my thoughts and were replaced by a beautiful vision of juicy dill pickles. As if in a haze I distinguished a white turban above beady eyes and heard a faint persuasiv voice mur mur “Relax—let yourself go—I’ll catch you.” Who said that “Reff’s” efforts in hypnotism were always futile? BOB ADAMS RECEIVES (Continued from Page One) two Key poets have been held dur ing the last year by Don Huber and James Johnson. President Boyles made a short speech on what the Key Club does for the school and its members.
