After practice in organizing j clubs, we decided to elect officers and have a Book Club. Officers were elected as follows: President, : Horace Haworth; vice-president. Marguerite Murray; secretary, Dina Taylor; and club adviser. Miss Munroe. A book list was discussed and it was decided that every boy ; and girl should read and report on one classic. Those appointed to ar range the book list were Dina Tay lor, Carolyn Jones, Helen Craven, and Jack Jackson. The president appointed Marguerite Murray, Jac queline Price, and Lewis Watkins to draw up the constitution for the club. The purpose of our club is to read more classics and works of the most famous writers. A discus sion • of authors whose classics we plan to read was held, after which the meeting was adjourned to meet again in two weeks. GARNETT HINSHAW INTERVIEWS TEACHERS WHO HAVE TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY GLANCE BACK THROUGH ’37 RECALLS MO MENTS OF INTEREST CONCERNING HAPPENINGS (Juanita Coppedge and Sara Hutchens) JANUARY In the year 1937 many inberesting things occurred at Junior High School. Among the most interesting was the visit of Mrs. Steve Clark. She visited several rooms showing some articles that came from China and Japan. Some of the things shown were dolls displaying the dress of the different classes of people in China and Japan. FEBRUARY Billy Beaver moved to High Point from Ohio. He told of experi ences in the flood districts. Miss Adam’s room won the bas ketball championship. The tw'o lead ing .scorers were Albert Evans and Darrell Truitt. Everyone enjoyed Mr. Hartley’s interesting talk on Mexico. Winifred Bulla said it would take a nice home, lots of money, lots of beautiful clothes, a fine car, plain foods, a garden with many flowers, a swimming pool in th>3 yard, and a nice husband to make her contented. She was fortunate in being there for annual Cherry Blossom Festival. MARCH Grady Goldston went on a trip to California via Mexico. He saw Golden Gate Bridge, Yosemite Park, and Hollywood. The three pupils who made the highest grades on the Current Event Test were Carl Bailey, 206; Stan ley Ershler, 115, and Pete Smith, room 209. In the March issue of The Junior Pointer, Betty Brockman wrote about her visit to Congress. This article was very interesting. Also in this nronth, Mrs. Frost gave a very unique program. It consisted of a “Prof. Quiz’’ act, George Humphries as the professor; a contest for the biggest liar. Bill Currie won that, title, and last Nancy Cox and Jo Ingram called upon several teachers to contribute to the program. Among them were Mr. Loman, Miss Poole, Miss Moore, Miss Deans, and Miss Idol. OCTOBER Miss Dean’s Science classes made visits to the city Filtration and Dis posal plants. Miss .Walker was teaching a special art class this year, to eighth grade pupils who were interested in art. Mr. Carroll talked to the pupils of Junior High School. The theme of his talk was duty. He said “The greatest thing in the world is to find your duty and do it.’’ DECEMBER Probably the greatest highlight of all was the presentation of the an nual Christmas play. This year it was “Five Little Peppers.’’ Mrs. Harrison was director of the play. We hope this year may bring as many good things to us as last year did. SHADOWGRAPH SCENES PRESENTED BT 210 APRIL Miss Walker presented the pupils of Junior High School with an ex cellent program on artists and their pictures. Gloria Ilderton went to Detroit Michigan 'for week. Mary Anne Thomas had a very enjoyable trip to Washington, D. C. Recently room 210 gave an in teresting chapel program. It was given on a shadowgraph which showed scenes of the mosi interest ing and important events during 1937. Kitty Stancell was the an nouncer who told something inter esting about each scene. The first scene was the inaugura tion of President Roosevelt. The second was the flood in the Mississippi Valley. Following this scene was the crash of the Hinden- burg which the audience seemed to appreciate most of all. Immediately following this scene we had the tragedy of Amelia Earheart, and after this the Yacht Race for the American Cup. The scene “Going Back to School” followed the yacht Race for the American Cup. Next we had Carolina and Duke playing football. The program, illustrated by the shadowgraph and announced by Kitty Stancell, was a big success and was enjoyed by everyone. THE DANCE DF THE MDLECDLES The molecules gave a party one day. For guests they had invited to stay. The party was given in their scrap iron house. So no one was as still as a mous>3. The molecules, although they were very small. Still bumped each other against the wall. And with the music they began to prance. While John Molecule called the danc>3. They danced unti their house got hot. As hot as the flame beneath a pot. They were going around, you may guess, so fast. That thJy swung baby molecule in to a gas. Miss Washburn enjoys traveling very much and spends much of her time in that way. She has been to the West Indies, which are eleven in number. She has been to South America twice. Quito, which is on the equator is a very delightful place because of its altitude, which keeps it from being so hot. Miss Washburn likes Quito very much. She has never been below tlie equa tor but has been to all of the coun tries in South America north of the equator. On her trip West Miss Washburn thought Kansas was the prettiest and most progressive state and Utah was the hottest. She io now planning to go to Europe in 1940 to see the Passion Flay in Ger many and also to go to the World’s Pair in New York in 1939. Miss Nash went to the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1933. In 1934 she sailed for Europe on an Italian boat “The Saturnia.” She visited fourteen countries and was gone two months. While she was in Germany she saw the Passion Play. It was the 300th. Anniversary. Miss Nash says she enjoyed Italy, Germany and England the most, Italy because of its beauty, Germany because of it is different, beautiful, and in- [ teresting, England because it is ; historical. Miss Nash went to New York in the summer of 1936, where she attended Columbia University’s j summer school. She wants to go to New Orleans and South Anrerica. Miss Munroe went around the world when she was a child. She went from Japan to China, to Cey lon to Paris, to London and then to New York. She has lived in Japari in both northern and southern parts. She has lived in Texas a year, in New York a winter and two sum mers. She has been to Florida three times; across the Continent and Pa cific Ocean six times. She has been to Honolulu three times; and to the Aleutian Islands. Miss Munroe has sailed from both San Francisco and Seattle. She has lived in Virginia two years and North Carolina eleven years. She has been in about forty- two or forty-three states in the Union. She went to World’s Fair in San Francisco as a child. She en joys traveling very much and has been to French North America.

ON VISIT TO FLORIDA Aubrey Perkins went to Miami, Florida, last Saturday for a ten- day vacation. He will be back in school next Monday with interest ing news from the land of the flowers. WE ARE WONDERING WHY; Hrsrbert Hodgin has been so brok en heated recently. Phyllis Strickand never reads a library book during lunch period any more. Juanita Coppedge likes to go to Miss Andrews’ room on Tuesday. Byron Grandjean doesn’t talk as much as he did last year. Betty Dean Knox is so hard heart ed here lately. Bill Currie changes his mind so much. A certain telephone call broke Ce cil Garrett’s heart one night last week. George Humphreys isn’t as excited about V. B. as he once was. Russel Street is so popular with S. R. Jimmy Smith is getting so popu lar. William Shakespeare didn’t run out of words before he finished writing Julius Caesar. Gloria Ilderton still smiles so sweetly at that oartain ladies’ man in 205. Visit SEARS For the Finest Sporting Goods and Equipment in the City $EARS; ROEBUCK AND COi BELIEVE IT OR NOT Arnold Koonce is a noble G-man. Mrs. Williams has recently had the mumps. A cello is being called a horn. Mr. Loman is sp»3aking in a low voice. Bob Hedrick fell off a see-saw. I KINNEY SHOE CO.
