m Wednesday, May 8, 1935 JUNIOR POINTER Page Three BELIEVE IT OR NOT Mr. Lcrwman carries a paddle with two holes in it around in his pocket. One morning Miss Archbell said that it was “better to read your cur- event than to tell it.” One afternoon Miss Archbell said “take off ten points for his pencil being in paper.” Miss Moore gives some “A’s” on math. Some think English is harder than math. A boy in the seventh grade spells seat, sead. A girl in Miss Washburn’s room caught a mouse in her locker with a mouse trap. Mae West and Henry Ford go to Junior High School. L. T. Pierce and Helen Horne have been in the same room every year since they have been going to school. Room 106 had rather get out of English homework than math. Walter Rhew has not been late to school for several days. Cecil Smith after five months of school remembers to bring his cur rent events every Monday morning. Margaret Hoover made “A” on conduct. A boy in the school brought a steel trap to school to catch some two- legged mice that had been in his locker. Vote On Favorite Authors (Kermit Albertson) During Euglish class, the pupils of 207 voted on their favorite author. Mark Twain was elected by a large majority as the most popular au thor. Louisa May Alcott won a close second place in the contest. Other authors voted on are in the order of votes received: Ralph Henry Bar bour, Charles Dickens, J. A. Altshel- er, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Kate Douglas Wiggins, and G. Blake. During the election, the favorite characters of the class were also voted on. Tom Sawyer, in “The Ad ventures of Tom Sawyer,” and Jo in “Little Women,” won top honors, each having the same number of votes. David Copperfield was chosen as the third in favor. After all, I think that the class made a wise de cision as to the favorites. 211 Plans Good Program To Be Presented Mav 9 Happy Birthday To (Anne Marie Moffitt) A delightful home room program is to be given in room 211 Thursday, May 9, by a group of boys and girls.

This flower is shaped like a cup or a face. But never is shaped like the body of a vase. The rose is worn on “Mother’s Day, The red or the white is used for this day.

Extra Library Period (Edith Thompson) Room 106 is having a “reading period” on Wednesday morning, since all the book reports are in. The children are bringing magazines and exchanging with each other. We all enjoy reading about things that are happening in the world. We think it will increase our vocabularies very much, and that we will derive much benefit from this extra “reading period.” (Mavis Walker) Blue and green and amethyst Rose and yellow, gray like mist The sunset fairies play in the sky Like a fairy’s wash hung out to dry. Red and orange and sky-blue Pink and peach of every hue; We know who the sunset fairies are. They’re children of some silver star. BIRDS (Curlon Thompson) Spring is here. Oh! Can’t you see? All the birds are singing with glee. The Whippoor-Will with his lonesome call. Is calling to me, is calling to all. The Mocking-bird sings all the day. But why does he ? Because he’s gay. TWILIGHT AND DAWN (Margaret Skeen) The sun has already set. Darkness has arrived. While the moon and stars. Have into the sky dived. Children have gone to slumberland To dream of wonders true. Of beautiful flowers and streams. And sky or azure blue.

School will soon be out, and the work for the year will be completed. Every one will be busy the last week of school, in fact everything will sound like a bee hive. Probably you will feel that you have done something to be proud of and have progressed a great deal. If you do not feel this way, let’s set a goal and try to improve next year. Dawn is now drawing near; The sun is climbing in the sky; The world awakens from its sleep. And to the darkness they say goodbye. Bad English Box (Geraldine Hedrick) In Miss Archbell’s English class. Miss Carson’s room has a Bad Eng lish box. When a pupil hears an other one make a mistake in Eng- ish, he writes it on a slip of paper and drops it into the box when the bell rings. The box is opened every two weeks, and it was first opened March 22. The ones that didn’t have any mis takes in the box get some sort of reward. Those who did not have a mistake the first time were: Mary Ruth Brower, Roy Bradner, Luther Brown, Amelia Luttrell, Katherine Cranford, Ferol Hughes, Lois Hunsucker, Ma vis Walker, Jimmie Smith, Carl Til ley, Juanita Thayer, Elizabeth Tea gue, Edna McKinney, Lois Vaughn, Sadie Whitley, and Geraldine Hed rick.

Main St. (Donree Setzer) Some children in Junior High do not have enough money to buy their lunch and haven’t enough food at home to bring anything so all this year the school, with the help of the Woman’s Club and other organiza tions, has been furnishing lunch in the cafeteria for these children. On Friday, April 12, we had only enough money to last through the day. In assembly that day, each child in school was asked to bring a dime the next day in order to give a lunch to somebody who needed it. It was decided that certain rooms challenge each other to see which could be first in collecting the dimes. The rooms that won were enter tained by the others with games, reading, and contests. Some groups collected more than a dime per son- son, and because Miss Brown’s room collected the most of all, Mr. Smart, manager of the Broadhurst and Par amount theatres, gave each child in the room a pass to see “Sequoia” Friday afternoon, April 19.

When this time comes we should be all the more careful because we may get killed. In crossing the streets we should look both ways and cross at the right place. The street is not the only place though, at home we can get hurt also. When we go bare footed rusty nails, or broken glass may stick into our feet and cause blood poison. So you see boys and girls we should be careful every where. Beavan’s Quality Shoppe Ready-to-Wear, Millinery and Complete Line of Accessories 118 S.
