Page Four JUNIOR POINTER Friday, October 9, 1936 Pupils In 212 and 208 Derive Much Pleasure and Information From Their Own Vacation Trips This Summer We are always interested in hear ing what our classmates did during the summer months, and this past summer seems to have been an un usually busy time for everybody. In rooms 212 and 208 many boys and girls went to camp, or on trips, or out to the country. Prances Leach went to Raleigh and visited the Capitol. Zula Mae Spencer went to Asheboro to her grandmoth er’s. Lois Swaim took quite a tour around North Carolina’s “watering places,” going to Lake Waccamaw, Carolina Beach, and White Lake. Ger trude Griffin visited in Henderson, while Mary Lou Williams went to the mountain resort town of Henderson ville. Thomas Tabor w'ent all the way to Georgia, and helped drive his cousin’s cows to and from the pasture which was a mile away from the house. Charlotte Luhring visited in Nor folk, Va. Ruth Culler went to Myrtle Beach, S. C., and Pilot Mountain, N. C. Frances Young also went to Caro lina Beach and Lake Waccamaw. She describes the lake as follows: “It is very wide but not very deep from side to side. There is a long pier stretching nearly all the way across. All along the side of the lake there are many cypress trees with knobby knees and Spanish moss hanging from the branches. This moss is a grey air-plant that looks very much like the stuff birds’ nests are made of. From a far distance the lake looks like the sky.” Aubrey Perkins went to three beaches. Myrtle, Carolina, and Wrightsville. When Rayford Coggins went to Wrightsville Beach, his father stopped by the Texaco plant in Wilmington and Rayford says: “There were tanks there as big as small houses.” Oil tankers bring many gallons of gas into Wilmington and trucks carry it from there all over the state. Nancy Meredith visited in Char lotte. Henry Draughn went to Winston- Salem and Gastonia. Opal Kennedy Compliments of BELK-STEVENS CO. had a nice trip to High Rock, and Helen Shipwash went to Asheboro and the girl scout camp. Another one who went to camp was L. J. Yow, who is working for scout badges. He also went to the mountains but his trips haven’t changed him much for he says, “But now here I am, the same old ‘him’ at school.” James Cagle went duck shooting and saw a boy kill a rattle snake that had eight rattles and two buttons. On her trip to Burlington, Juanita Lee was especially interested in watching the bus-driver, “Because at every railroad cross ing he would stop and open the door.” Walter Ward admits that he “loafed around” a good deal, but he worked on a farm, too, part of the time. Johnny Thomas rode a horse that liked to swim, and Paul Johnson, to the best of his remembrance, stayed on a horse nobody else could ride, for around two minutes. Vacation Bible School gave Tillie Sue Iveigh something to do. Dwight Harris had a tent in which he and his dog and friends spent the nights. Dorothy Leonard enjoyed making a flower bed, and Dorothy Nunn says, “I sayed at home and washed dish es.” Edith Key went to the country and so did Llerman Northcott. Herman also tried sleeping out in a tent, but not for long. Noble Reason had a good time out at Dr. Jackson’s lake. Harold Morris and his pony. Ginger, had a lively time when Harold hitched her to a wagon and a bee stung her! Last, but not least, James Swan sen went to Camp Uhwarrie, and John Bottoms found two gallons of muscadines while he was on the farm. Wish we had some, John. The summer vacation days of some of the pupils in 208 were varied and interesting. Some spent the time at home. Others who were more fortun ate, visited resorts and places of his toric interest. Here are the accounts of some of the pupils’ vacations. the roof into the pond. We saw many other beautiful places in the garden. —Ruby Robertson. I W'ent to the country and stayed three weeks. Two weeks after re turning from the country, we went to Shalotte Point. Two days later we went to Carolina Beach and spent the day bathing. On the way home we stopped at a large zoo. There were many interesting animals and fish there. We also stopped at Lake Wac camaw' and went boat riding. When we arrived home we were very tired and it was very late, but it wasn’t too late to use noxzema on my poor sun burned back.—Virginia Snider. My favorite summer hobby is camp ing. I attended the “Stay At Home Camp” at the Y. W. C. A. I visited the real camp located near Winston and saw many interesting things. One of my friends and I had a camp of our own. We cooked our meals and had a delightful time camping. —Catherine Smith. This summer I went to Myftle Beach, S. C. While I was there I went to Brook Green Garden. At the entrance of this garden are huge trees covered with sea moss. The pret tiest place in the garden was the house where visitors registered and could buy pictures of all parts of the garden. In the middle of the house was a pond with water running off 55c Up LADIES’ SOLES HEELS 25c UP 55c Up CITY SHOE SHOP West Commerce St. PHONE 2090 We Cal! For and Deliver Opposite Security National Bank I spent my summer vacation in the country playing baseball, tag in our old barn, riding in the old buggy, and amusing myself with my dog, four cats, and my chickens.—Frank Mont gomery. “Hey! Here! Young man, what’s your hurry ? Speeding along here at the rate of fifty to sixty miles an hour.” “No particular hurry. In fact, I didn’t know I was going that fast.” “Well, I’ve followed you for the last three or four miles. Besides you vrere passing on hills and curves. Sup pose someone were coming around a curve the way you were. There would be another accident like the one you just passed.” “W’’ell, go on but never let me catch you speeding or passing on hills and curves again and using our high ways as a race track.” This little conversation took place when we were on the way to Wash ington this summer between Dad and a Virginia Highway patrolman. And was Dad’s face red? —Coy Moose. NEW BOOKS ADBED10 To read about the drought out west was bad enough but to actually see it was almost unbelievable. This summer I visited the states of Minne sota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa in the drought stricken area. Minnesota and Iowa were not so bad as Kansas and Nebraska. In Kansas there was not even a blade of green grass- They had had no rain since November. Com ing home from Iowa to Kansas the heat wave was so terrific we were compelled to close the windows of our car.—George Humphries. (Mary Ann Coe) Since last year we have added a number of new and useful books to our library. These books will be help ful in the various departments of our school. We have a large number of science books, such as “Romping Through Physics,” “Chemical Amusements” and “Experiments.” Here are two books that will be enjoyed especially by boys: “First Electrical Book for Boys,” and “Boy Chemists.” A num ber of general language books have also been added, “Book of Prehistoric Animals,” “Ancient Animals,” “Days Before History,” “Before the Dawn of History,” “First Days of Knowledge,” and “First Days of Man.” Some new home economics books that we have are: “Story Book of Things We Use:” houses, clothes, food, and trans portation, “The Food We Eat,” “Kitchen Magic,” “How We Are Fed,” and “Little Sewing Book for a Lit tle Girl,” and others. We have also added to our Library some books on fine arts. Those who are interested in soap sculpture will find the book “On Soap Sculpture” very interesting- Others are: “Stories of Great Ar tists,” “Pictures Every Child Should Know,” “Handbook of Drawing,” and a number of others. For the depart ment of literature we have, “Famous American Authors,” “Four American Poets,” “Story Biographies,” and sev eral others. We have one book that is known throughout the world, “Who’s Who In America, 1934-1935.” This is a book of people living today. There are also some very good books of fiction. I am sure all of these will be en joyed by all the students of Junior | High School. News From Room 5 (Joseph Hayworth) In Miss Walker’s sixth grade art class the pupils have been learning to draw and shade single and groups of objects. In Room 5 the pupils have pro grams conducted by students twice a week. Anita Burton and Joseph Hayworth are having a home room program of Hansel and Gretel. Edith McCormick has a very diffi cult time keeping up with her things over here at Junior High School. She has lost §2.00 for book fee, some lunch money, a handkerchief, a foun tain pen, a pencil, and some colored paper. Room 5 is very proud of its attend ance. We have had only two absen ces. These two were Harold Teague and Verlin Lockamy. Each In His Own Way (Margaret Causby) By working together we can make our school life mean more to us and our teachers. By practicing a co-op erative spirit greater things can be done. In a small, individual way, each of us can do our part by doing each little thing daily for the improvement of our school. When all these little things are put together they make great things and will mean much to all of us. We love our school and each of us should do our part in im proving our school.

I started this several years ago. These were only slight attempts and did not amount to much. I worked a lit tle last year but did not accomplish much. I have made an ivory elephant this year and intend to do more. I would like to fry carving models of several of the statues I have seen. This summer I went to New York, rn Rockefeller Center I saw a soap carving exhibit. There were models of the .Indians, figures of boxers, Ro man athletes, and other objects. Among these there was a model of Shirley Temple, sitting on a bench with a little rooster standing beside her. These gave me great ambition and made me want to try hard to do better soap carving. Our patrons continue to recognize in us an agency of dependable and satisfactory transportation. High Point, Thomasville & Denton Railroad Company “Nothing But Service To Sell” FOR YOUR HEALTH’S SAKE DRINK MILK HOBBIES FROM 101 (Melvin Gentry) The pupils in 101 have many differ ent hobbies.

Embroiderying has been a hobby with Marie Spencer. Wayman Leftwich likes wood-craft work. Roys ter Thurman has been collecting stamps this summer. Horse-back rid ing seems to be fun to Susanne Lin- deman. Winifred Bulla must be a tom-boy because she likes baseball almost well enough to consider it a hobby.
