Page Four JUNIOR POINTER Thursday, April 14, 1938 Spring Day Thoughts (This is a fi'ank informal expres sion of thoughts that have been running through an average stu dent’s mind during the classes of the pati; few weeks). Ho, Hum! Nature is certainly spreading on the colors these days, peach, pear, and apple blossoms blowing around everywhere. Lot of good it does us tho having to sit in school. However it is nice to look ut at the red bud bushes—that is, if your class happens to be on the right side of the building. Gee, I’ve got the jitters so bad I’ll never be able to sit through this class. What wouldn’t I give to be out in all that good old sunshine! Oh—oh—it’s so grand. It’s a funny thing, tho, how “delicious, delightful and delovely” the out-of-doors seems when you’re in a stuffy old school room. It’s not nearly so glamorous at 3:30 when you’re out for good (oh heck—why do my thoughts have to be inter rupted!) “Why is ‘Julius Caesar’ considered a tragedy or “See Ques tions!’’ Who cares what it’s con sidered ? Oh, well, as I was think ing, life is pretty lovely in the spring. Oh those home economics girls! Why do they have to make cookies when all the windows are up ? The same air that invites us out also makes our mouths water. I declare school can be so tantal izing (What’s that the teacher | said about an assignment? Guess I’ll ' have to get it from Julia.) PUPILS IN CIVICS CLASSES GO INTO THE SUBJECT OF SAFETY; SOME WRITE VERSES In civics class the pupils have been discussing safety in the homes and on the streets and highways. We usually think of the home as a safe place, but it has been estimat ed that about 30,000 people are killed by accidents in the home each year. Many deaths result from falls, scalds, burns, poisons, electricity, asphyxiation and suffocation. Sev eral verses were written about safety. Here are some of the verses written by pupils in 205: Nearly half of all home injuries result from falls; And many of the others from burns and scalds. So don’t lea re your toys in the middle of the steps; Nor strike a m^atch because of bets. Keep poisons up on the highest shelf, 1 For if you don’t, you might have to yell for help. Keep gas turned off unless there’s (a fire, But if it won’t turn off, a man you must hire, Put rubbers on under your rugs, So that you won’t slip, no matter how many tugs. Be sure and keep tools in the safe- est place. So that you worft have to go to the doctor at a swift pace. —Susanne Lindrsman BE CAREFUL; WATCH WHAT YOU DO SPRING Spring is here and everyone is gay, The time is more wonderful than all the month of May. Violets shyly creeping; This, the evidence of Spring, Seems to make the air fairly ring. Girl’s ropes are swinging. Boys’ marbles jingling. Kits are gayly clinging To budding, friendly trees. We should be on our knees, Thanking God for these. Children on bicycles proudly climb ing, (Don’t you like my rhyming?) To the outposts of the city Never taking time to pity Children who have no bicycles Or have never tasted Pop-sickles. —Mavis Peace Carolinian Cafeteria 120 North Main Street 1 1 I Good Food I Courteous Service I Pleasant Atmosphere Never carry a hot liquid; When there’s a trippy rug around. And while you stoop to fix the rug Just set the liquid down . Always use the banisters On your basement steps. Never hurry in the dark down there B>2cause a light does help. Never hurry to a place That is quite near, Just take your time and It will cost you nothing very dear. Don’t step into a bathtub When there’s a piece of soap around, ’Cause if you do, in the water You might accidently drown. Always turn on a light Wh>3n you are in the dark. Or you may see stars twinkling On an unexpected bark- If it’s very cold and slippery Don’t slide around for fun. Or you may have a serious fall Before you’ve hardly begun. Don’t ever throw a lighted match Down on the ground. Just politely extinguish it. Before it spreads around. —Cathryne Albertson. SAFETY RULES Many pedestrians are killed on the streets and highways each yrsar.

Be careful always. —Charles Smith ACCIDENTS Accidents in the home make every one feel bad. But you just fall on a slick floor and you’ll feel pretty mad. Accidents in the home are not nur sery rhymes. People have known this since the beginning of the times. Once there was a little boy who slipped upon the floor. He slid down the. long hall and out the back door. Electricity is bad, rugs are worse. If you don’t let them alone, you’ll go for a ride in the hearse. Firecrackers are bad, stairs are 'worse. So leave both alone and practice “safety first!’’ —Grady Goldston When you start to cross a street. Use your eyes, ears, and then your feet. —^Arline Calloway ANSWERS TO WHO’S WHO 1. Robert Burns 2.

ARRIVAL OF SPRING While I sat on a log in a gloomy state of mind. Spring came on tiptoe, silently creep ing o’er the earth. Causing a colorful flower to spring wherever her magic wand struck. She lightly tapped a barren spot, and ho! A modest violet shyly peeped into his newborn world. The snowflake blossoms of the apple tree and baby-pink of the cherry Are all born in her magic tricks, while skipping over the earth. And then I glanced into the distance and said unto myself, “Spring has just arrived, so throw away your sorrow and gloom And join in its folicsome play!” —Mary Anne Thomas SPRING It’s here! It’s hens! It’s come again, A time of peace to all good men. When flowers lift their leafy heads. Above the earth from their brown beds. When white snow n>3lts and rivers run. Beneath the oft seen glittering sun. When the pure air is again once filled. With chidren’s cries for so long stilled. When bells in church towers softly Ting, God’s most high blessing—spring. —Byron Grand jean. UNTANGLED 1. Billy Price 2. James Kivett 3. Charles Hassell 4. Albert Evans 6. Willard Wilson 6.

Thou shalt walk on the right side of the highway. Thou shalt not step out behind parked cars. Y>2 who obey these rules shall be rewarded with a longer life- SPRING Spring is a glam'orous season which comes once a year. The trees are budding and flowers are blooming. The birds are flying and the sun is shinning. The golden buttercups of the scent ed dew is dinning. Boys and girls have caught the fever. They have to come out and jump the rope. Their mothers too are happy and gay. And longing for another glamorous day. The teachers are sweet now and welcome you at the door. For they know school is nearly o’er. I wish spring came much more often. So we could stay more in the golden sun. —Bill Buie "V, SUNSHINE LAUNDRY GENUINE DRY CLEANING PHONE 3393 RCA VICTOR RADIO ELECTRIC TUNING OVERSEAS CONTROL ARMCHAIR CONTROL BEAUTY-TONE CABINETS —Sonic Arc Magic Voice— ROSE FURNITURE COMPANY 234 South Main Street I COPELAND DANCING SCHOOL I I SUCCESSOR TO VESTA’S SCHOOL OF DANCING I I ALL TYPES OF DANCING TAUGHT i I Mrs. W.
