Page Four THE POINTER November 22, 1949 Salesmanship Course OHered To Sales-Minded Students GUA GkaM&n. Former Alumni Of H, P. H. S. ts Mrs. Ed Gilbert To Teach Subject High Point High School is plan ning to produce a bumper crop of salesmen to work in the local stores during the holidays this year. A brief course in salesmanship is being offered to all students in terested in selling. Given as an extension service of the State De partment of Vocational Education, this course not only teaches sales manship but gives instruction in how to get and keep a job, appro priate dress for work, and how to get along with the boss and customers. Mrs. Ed Gilbert, a local resi dent, is going to be here for three weeks teaching the course. To make up a class of about 30 people, students wishing to receive the in struction are taken from their study halls for a week, during which time they learn the funda mentals of selling in an unspecial ized line. The students taking the course have not been employ^ previously and do not have jobs at the pres ent time, but are interested in ob taining part-time work. After finishing the course, each person will receive a certificate from the State Department of La bor stating that the course has been successfully completed. This certificate will aid the people in obtaining a job. This selling course is given at the request of the local merchants association. Student Council Makes Progress The Upper and Lower Houses under the leadership of Doris Craven and Jerry Paschal, respec tively, have completed organiza tion and are stepping forward to combat challenging school prob lems. The election of Barbara Priddy and Donnie Boone to the Upper House as freshman representatives increases its membership to eight, as required by the constitution. Each homeroom elected one rep resentative to the Lower House in September. Thirty-eight stu dents now claim membership in this larger house of the council. The Student Council is now sponsoring the arrangement of material on the bulletin board near Tower 2 on the.first floor, Friday morning assemblies, open-house after football games, and the sale of school pennants and badges. Student Council headquarters were established recently in the mimeograph office, which is in Tower 2 on the second floor. The room will serve until other ar rangements can be made. A filing cabinet and desk have been pur chased and placed in the tempor ary office. Records of council (projects and work will be filed in the cabinet and kept. Classes Taught By Practice Teachers Practice teachers are here again! Every year, High Point College seniors who plan to become teachers spend sixty hours ob serving and teaching classes in the different schools of High Point. There are six college students now practicing at Senior High. Two have finished their required time this fall, and have already left. Those two are Mr. Rajrmond Wise, who taught plane geometry under Mr. Henry T. Rohde; and Mr. Ardenal Haney, who taught junior and senior English under Miss Ruth Goodman. Those who are still here are as follows: Miss Bertha Lowe, teach ing home economics under Miss Mary Ella Ingram; Mr. Percy Payne, teaching United States history under Miss Elizabeth Lind say: Miss Betty Spearman, teach ing sophomore English under Mrs. Clara Harrison; and Messrs. George Boggs, Ralph Copley, and C. L. Stroud, Jr., teaching book keeping under Mr. Harry Hen drick. ^ French Classes Seek Correspondents Abroad (Second year French students of Mrs. Rogers and Miss McDavid are sending off for names of French correspondents. These future correspondents will be picked according to ages of our own students; an(l they will be selected from France, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Belgium. It is hoped that a better feeling and understanding between our students and those of foreign lands will be created by this inter change of letters. Our French students plan to swap ideas with these foreign boys and girls and to learn of the un usual customs of these people. At the same time they will help to relate the American way of life to them. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The newly organized Future Teachers of America Club of High Point High School will soon be come a member of the National Future Teachers Association. Organized last month, the club now has a roster of forty mem bers. These students have planned to meet each Tuesday morning at eight-thirty in the auditorium. Business and other matters of the organization will take place then. At present the group is discussing the possibility of renaming the club. As yet, committees have not been selected. The chief purpose of the Future Teachers of America Club is to give students an opportunity to learn about the teaching profes sion at an early age. This will enable the prospective teacher to discover whether or not he will be interested in the field. Gain Many Honors At College Just for a minute, let’s take a quick trip to a few colleges and universities to see what’s become of our high school alumni. First, from Greensboro College, comes news that Barbara Lee has been chosen one of the ten cutest girls in the freshman class. She will also be an attendant in the annual May Court there next spring. Also making a name for herself at Greensboro College is Jane Beam, who has been elected fresh man representative to the Student Council. Way up in Cincinnati, Ohio, Ralph Tilden is presiding over the sophomore class at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. He is also the organist and choir director for the Saint Mary’s Episcopal Church, which is located just out side of Cincinnati. Following in the music field, is Betty Jo Smith, w’ho is attending Meredith College in Raleigh. She is directing the youth choirs of the First Baptist Church in Raleigh. Switching, now, from Meredith College to Winthrop College in Rock Hill, South Carolina, we find that Barbara Lowe has been chosen vice-president of the Grand- Daughters Club of Winthrop Col lege. Ruth Ellen Monroe, who is at tending Mars Hill Junior College this year, has been elected one of the college cheerleaders. At the Harriett Elliott Social Science Forum which convened November 10 in Greensboro, Jackie Meekins was one of six students sent from Lenior Rhyne College. Junior Play Postponed Until Late January There was no ghost last Satur day evening, nor v;ill there be one until the latter part of January: for the junior class play, “The Saturday Evening Ghost,” has been postponed. Miss Amy Franklin, who is directing the play, says there are several reasons for the postpone ment of the production, but the main one is lack of time. Rehearsals for the play are still in progress, and will continue until the play is given. The production was previously planned for November 18 and 19. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB High Point High has a photog raphy club! The name of the new organization is the Jr. Camera Club, and it held its first meeting on Tuesday, November 15. During this first meeting of ficers were elected, and they are I as follows: P’resident, Jack] Grimes; vice-president, Rex| Hucks; secretary, Pete Jones; i t'-easurer and faculty adviser, Mr. Carr. The purpose of this organization is to study the various phases of photography, and the first few meetings will deal with the de veloping of roll and cut film. In the future they will study enlarg ing, tinting, and composition of photograghy. Their meetings will be held every other Tuesday night. LATIN CLUB Latin Clubs have again been organized in the Latin classes. Officers for each of the Latin periods are now in office. The mighty presidents are Craig Kester, Ben Allen, Emmett Sum ner, Jack Willis, and Rita Demas Vice-presidents are next in line.
