there in existence ? Among some

In most cases this money is
burned, or mixed with pulp and

JUST A FLURRY
About second period in 205 a
few days ago you should have seen
all the lads and lassies trucking up
to the things that you look through.
They were looking at the feathers
Mother Nature was picking from
her geese. Someone suggested read
ing “Snowbound,” but as Miss Car
ter said it was not suitable for the
occasion since we were nowhere
near being snowbound. We read
something that was more ap
propriate. Here's hoping the next
snow will last longer than the
little flurry we had the other day
so we can have more excitement
in English.
—Grady Goldston.

i IT’S not for any monetary consideration that we enter
E 1 this yearly publication of the City of High Point’s
E most cherished possession—The Junior Pointer—where
E the lives of our future citizenship is moulded, and we hope
E that the students in your classes will always stand out as
i an example following year after year.
(Frances Hall)
If you were given your choice of
the following—good manners, good
looks, money, or talent, which
would you choose? Thtre is one of
the four you can have for the ask
ing. Yes, it is good manners. Let’s
see what they will do for you.
They are a letter of credit the
world honors at sight.
They form our first impression
of every person we meet. By a
stranger’s manners we make a snap
judgment of his background and
education. Do you know the cor
rect way to eat, what to say, and
how to say it?
Lack of good manners keeps
many a person with ability from
succeeding.
WHAT WE WERE

BOYS CHALLENGE GIRLS
SNOW
(Arthur Kaplan)
I like to see it snow.
In Winter or in Fall,
But oh! I don’t like to get hit
In the eye with a snowball.
And as my story goes I say,
I woke up on a winter day.
My mother said the snow was
deep.
So I opened the window to take a
peep.
And there to my surprise it lay,
A nice deep snow in which I could
play.
But then my plans were changed
so quick
Changed so fast it made me sick.
I’d have to go to school that day.
And in the snow I could not play.
AN AQUARIUM IN NO, 207
HUTCHEN’S FOOD STORE
(Bill Weaver)
In room No. 207 the pupils have
made an aquarium. They have male
and female fantail goldfish and a
few tropical fish.
They also have in the aquarium
some oxygenating plants including
the Myriophyllum Prosperpinacoides,
commonly known as the Parrot
Feather. The Eichhornia Azurea or
the Purple Water Hyacinth and
Vallisneria spiralis or Ribbon grass.
The scavengers are clams, Japa
nese snails, tadpoles, pond snails,
and geographic turtles. If 'you are
interested in the aquarium come
around to room No. 207 and see it.
The boys in room 205 are proud
of their unusually good attendance
during the fourth month. They had
perfect attendance except for one
half-day absence.
This aroused interest between
the boys and girls, so now they
have challenged each other for
this month. The losers take the
winners to the show. Although
this is not leap year, if the girls
lose, they will have to take the
boys to the show.

On January 20, a chapel pro
gram was given by the girls’ In
dustrial Arts classes under the di
rection of Miss Adams. The aim
and theme of the program were to
show the appropriate dress for
different occasions. After the devo
tional, which was led by Estelle
Frith, the curtains were drawn and
Bobby Lindsay, dressed as an old-
fashioned gii'l, and Betty Jean
Miller, dressed as a modern girl
wore discovered discussing the
clothing' of the two diiferent pe
riods. The modern girl proved by
showing modern clothes worn in
the home economics department
that the clothing worn today is
more appropriate for different oc
casions such as school, sports,
church, and evening.
The program was concluded with
a play entitled Art in Dress. Largo
posters showed correct and incor
rect parts of costumes worn by
girls in the clothing class.
