H. P. H. S. To Observe
Career Day May 18
The entire day of Wednesday,
May 18, will be observed at High
Point High School as Career Day.
Before registration for the dif
ferent panels takes place, every
student will be given a Knuder
Preference Test. These tests will
show the student what field he
is most interested in, so that he
may register more intelligently
for his panels. The tests cost a
hundred and sixty dollars, and
were purchased for the students
by the local school board.
There are various displays now
in the library on vocations, which
have been placed there by the
boys taking woodwork and metal
work. The bulletin board at tower
two, entitled “My Career,’’ 'shows
many different fields of occupa
tion.
Civic clubs in the city will be
asked to aid this Career Day pro
ject by helping to obtain speakers.

office directory because I knew ex
actly where everybody in town
lived.” He added, “Of course, the
population then stood at 14,000.’’
Dr. Owen recalled one dark day
during the depths of the depres
sion. He arrived early one cold
winter morning to find a crowd of
students actually huddled in the
nooks and crannies against the
brick wall outside the office win
dow. They had no coats and it
was cold.
He was looking out that same
office window when I asked what
was the greatest change he no
ticed. ‘There’s no drastic change.
It’.s still a place of beauty, espe
cially in the springtime. Those
roses along the fence . . . and see
that Cedar of Lebanon tree just
behind the flagpole? The stu
dents who planted it there named
it for me. I still see that pride
and 'bearing so characteristic of
High Point High Schoolers. That’s
one reason your school has re
mained so clean and well-kept.
You. know, pride in something fine
is a wonderful thing to have,” he
said.
,j. Well, lower the footlights and
call me Barrymore!
A comedy called “Queen for a
Day” will be presented on the
evenings of May 19 and 20 by
the faculty of High Point High
School in the high school audi
torium.
The Parent-Teacher Association
is sponsoring the all-teacher
to raise money for gas used in
the driver’s training car. Publici^,
programs, and tickets will be
handled by the P. T. A.
Every teacher in the school will
have some part in the play, either
serving on various committees or
actually nortraying some charac
ter. In addition to the regular
teachers. Sergeant Shields, Mrs.
Meeta Jackson, and Mrs. Johnsie
Jackson will also take part in the
unusual production.
The play is a comedy written
in three acts by Carl Webster
Pierce. It is based on the famous
“Queen for a Day’’ radio program.
The play is set on the broadcast
ing stage of the program with a
representation of the radio show.
It continues through the adven
tures of Jack Bailey, master of
ceremonies, and the Queen for a
Day, during the length of her
reign.
All characters have not been
chosen, but much interest has
been shown by the aspiring po
tential Barrymores in the parts
of Bella Buzby from Bumble Bee,
Arizona; Penelope “Pen” Pusher
from Ink, Missouri; and Mrs.
Sybil Swindle from Robbs, Illinois.
Detailed plans for the play
haven’t been announced as yet,
but it is certain that much in
terest and enthusiasm will be
fostered by this faculty produc
tion.

Boy, now isn’t Evans the
lucky one? Our friendly janitor
has done no less than walk off
with first prize in the Big
Bear Super-Market Give-a-Way
Contest—a brand new stream
lined electric range.
You’ve probably caught those
radio commercials, or heard
your mom and the lady next
door talking about the contest.
You just walk in the Big Bear,
buy your groceries, and on the
way out drop your name into
a box marked “Win a New
Electric Range.” Well, Evans
walked by (several times, in
fact). Fate smiled, and Evans
won the stove.
We were seriously thinking
of a picture complete with an
interview of one so lucky, but
Evans just said, “Think I’ll
change it for a ’frigerator. I
got a good stove.”
