THE POINTER
FEBRUARY 14,1949
Pemican Staff Now Able
To Breathe Once More
It -was that fateful day, Feb
ruary 1, 1949, that members of
the Pemican staff arrived in
Raleigh, N. C., to lay the com
plete contents of the ’49 edition
of the Pemican into the hands of
officials of the Edwards and
Broughton Engraving Company.
After sweeping and dusting out
the Pemican office, the staff now
anxiously awaits the copy’s re
turn. Members of the annual
staff who have toiled so patiently
to produce the yearbook are as
follows: Heywood Washburn, ed
itor-in-chief; Nancy Jo Smith, as
sistant editor: Dewey Greer, bus
iness manager; Dot Kendall and
Carolyn Murray, copy editors;
Mazie Strickland and Shirley
Kirkman, printing editors; Max
Thurman, sports editor: Clyde
Baxter, feature editor; Evelyn
Nance, typist; Don Martin, Doris
Craven, and Bobby Padgett, en
gravers-—all under the faculty ad
visor, Miss Dorothy Hollar.
It is estimated: that the Pemi
can will cost approximately $8,-
000. The business staff has
reached its goal of $2,000 in ads,
and is now working to raise more
funds.
The editorial staff expects to
proof-read the yearbook in April.
If everything goes according to
schedule, the new edition will be
issued to the students during the
third week of May.

HaUt
The flags were flying, the
brightly-uniformed bands were
playing, and the excitement of
thousands of people filled the
air. In the history of the
United States there had never
been a presidential inaugura
tion such as was held on Jan
uary 20.
And in the middle of the
’"'’"'ninf' excitement stood Ann
Bain of High Point High
School. She had been watching
the inaugural parade since
seven o’clock that morning, and
her watch told her that it was
now six o’clock in the evening.
The parade had been seven
teen. miles long!
That night Ann attended the
Alabama, Kentucky, and North
Carolina inaugural ball. Start
ing at ten o’clock, the ball
lasted until .
Besides having luncheon at
the Capitol with the President,
Ann talked to Mr. Truman’s
daughter Margaret, telling her
how we pronounce our vowels
and consonants in our music
class.
Ann also went through the
“Freedom Train”; and to top
off her trip, she met Vice-
President Barkley, and talked
. with Secretary of State, Dean
Acheson.
