HIGH POINT ENTERS STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
llieh Point Hlfli's Ms enter llie; BOOSTS POINTER
state championship football eliniina- - - ELM
tion contest Fi-iday, October 31, when
they plav Leaksville at Greensboro.
The Black Bison will enter the game
with the best pep and spirit oi the
season, and a more versatile attack
with which they hope to down Leaks
ville.
The outcome of this game is very
uncertain, as Leaksville has had a
very successful season having won
nearly every game they have played.;
These dangerous opponents defeated
Burlington by the same close margin
that the Black Bison did—one touch
down.
AT ELM STREET
Robert Bain “made an interesting
talk to the pupils of Elm Street last
week in the interest of the Pointer.
The pupils and teachers were glad
to have him. He secured a number
of subscriptions. This showed a fine
spirit of cooperation. They have

has a captain and all are taking
part in the work. Cooperation^is

interesting to Leaksville.

THE OTHER FEU.OW
HAS TROUBLES, TOO!
Life, a full life, is lived with
others. By nature we are in
clined to think that we are hav
ing greater difficulties than
■hose about us are having. Do
you know tliat while we are
thinking that about others that
they are thinking the same
about us?
What I would like to say is
just this: I am just a human
being with faults. Be charitable
when you judge as I try to be
charitable when T judge. Let
us work cooperatively to make
our school work more happy and
enjoyable. I pledge you my
part. Will you give me your
hand on it?
