Page Four JUNIOR POINTER Friday, October 7, 1955 \ MARTHA TEMPLE, DAVID DAHLE and BETH PARKS dis prove the idea that seventh graders are timid and retiring. Seventh Graders Not *Lost’ If These Be Representative Carole Simeon Martha Temple, David Dahle and Beth Parks are typical seventh graders who aren’t lost. Seventh graders usually have the name tag of “Little Lost Sheep” but this year they seem to know their way around. They go to and from classes with ease and act very much at home. Martha, Many Interests Martha is a member of Miss Mary Frances Axley’s room 4 and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Temple, 1046 Rockford Road. Martha is very active in and out of school; she is in the Y-teens, The Young Persons Service Lea gue and she sings in the church choir. Martha is definitely a lover of pets for she has a turtle, a canary, a tame parakeet and a French poodle named Cherie. She grinned broadly when asked what she wanted to do as her occupation. “Oh, just be a school teacher,” she said. David Knew Dianne “.4fter Connie came Dianne,” said David Dahle as he was ex plaining about the hui'ricanes that hit Camp Sea Gull while he was there this past summer. David is in. the homeroom of Miss Margaret Wilson, room 5. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Dahle, his parents, live at 1017 Emery Road. David hopes to take an active part in the school’s football pro gram. As mayor of his homeroom he was also elected one of the two squad leaders and captain of the room football team. Beth, M’orld-Wide Friend Blue-eyed Beth Parks shyly ad mitted that she was supei'stitious about ladders and black cats. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Parks of 803 Quaker Lane. Her hobby, being a pen pal to people all over the world, has brought her many friends as v/ell as pleasures. Y-teens, the Student Council, Social Committee, music, dancing, swimming and tennis al so hold interest for her, IVhen asked if she liked boys, Beth just grnned and said, “Who doesn’t ?” Hold That Spit-Wad Teacher Just Might Have You Indicted By Dusty Schoch and Charlie Shapard Have you been jogging along, thinking of laws as something dreamed up by a lot of old long- hairs? Well, that ain’t necessarily so. Some of our laws are pretty down to earth. For instance. Section 17.30 of the High Point City Code reads “STINK BOMBS prohibited.” That law is perfectly legit. But to get serious—Room 105, under the guidance of Miss Copeland, be gan its social studies course with a discussion of the free indi\idual, stressing the basic social premise of the FREE American citizen. The most controversial one proved to be “The rights of any person should not be exercised so as to interfere with the rights of others. A committee was chosen to look into the matter of city laws con trolling this, and came upon some rather amusing laws, which are broken every day. Section 17.37, High Point City- Code: “WEAPONS.—The shooting of shot or missiles from rubber bands, or by any means, shall be unlawful.” Section 17.76: “No person shall use offensive or indecent language ... or ANNOY THE TEACHER.” Section 17.27: “Misbehaving in Building.—It shall be unlawful to misbehave inside any school build ing by whistling, smoking or chew ing, and spitting on the floor.” Section 16.4: “Keeping of Ani mals and Birds.—The keeping of any animal or bird which, by mak ing frequent or long continued noise, shall disturb the comfort and repose of any person in the vicinity shall be unlawful.” Section 12.2: “Spitting in or Polluting Lake Prohibited. — No person shall spit in the High Point Municipal Lake, or put his feet in the water.” Incidentally, South Carolina for got to remove from its statute books an old law which made it illegal for a man to beat his wife with a stick any thicker than his thumb. Don’t weep for the ladies, though—they can pull their hus bands for assult just as quickly as Tarheels can. So, you see, teacher has a weapon that none around here has used so far. She can call the cops and have you hauled off to the jug. w ■/ SHOWN in their SUM.MER WARDROBE are teachers McGowan, Nicholson and Correll. Mr. Sheffield and Mr. Mills also belong to this crew. Summer Always Finds Teachers Adding Fourth R to Education Carolyn Tyson Now, not only are there reading riting and rithmetic, but there is a fourth r in education — repair. If this seems unbelievable, just ask any of these men: Mr. McGowan, eighth grade science teacher; Mr. Nicholson, ninth grade science teacher; Mr. Sheffield, assistant librarian and Mr. Correll, physical education teacher. For the past several summers these men have been employed tc give Junior High that spotlessly clean look that seems so inviting in the fall. While students are sunning, they are splashing paint, sanding and sawing. Yes they are the men who work their lily-white hands to the bone repairing the winter’s damages. Mr. Mills, Mr. McGowan and Mr. Correll painted while Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Sheffield acted as carpenters. They all must have enjoyed their work tremendously judging from their comments about it. Mr. McGowan said, “My biggest job was trying to keep Coach Cor rell from falling off the scaffold. Then, seeking revenge with a smile of delight on his face, Mr. Correll came back with, “You never could find Mr. McGowan after the ten- minute break in the mornings and afternoons. He always managed to get separated from the rest of the group.” Mr. Sheffield was evidently very happy to be working with Mr. Mills because he said, “I spent most of my time cleaning up the auditori um after Mr. Mills finished off the neat job of spilling paint all over it.” Mr. Nicholson said that he honestly enjoyed his work until the last day when he worked with Mr. McGowan. They must have really enjoyed it. After all, those compliments must have meant SOMETHING. Jr. High Shudent Council Workers fs Mrs. Don Padgett, Student Council adviser, and executive committee, Sandra Ridge, John Kirkman and Mary Woolf have an organization of 214 workers for the first semester. This corps will be operating mainly during the three activity periods from 12:00 to 1:45. Since students scatter in many directions at this time, teachers have suggested that it would be helpful to have an official list of who goes where. To provide tea chers with this list and to recog nize students who will be carrying on the work of the Student Asso ciation of the High Point Junior High School, the Junior Pointer gives here the full roster of names.
