French Students Plan
Column For the Paper
The A and B students of sec
ond year French will begin writ
ing a French column for the
POINTER soon.
This work will be done under
the direction of Mrs. Leila Bell
Rogers, head of the French De
partment. The students will do
the actual writing and Mrs. Ro
gers will check the work before
it goes to press. One handicap
that the column will have is
that the Print Shop has no ac
cent marks for the words.
The column will be conrposed of
French anecdotes, jokes and
other things of interest.
ROOM 316 ENTERTJIHS 202
IN PAID-UP POINTER RAGE
Did 202A enjoy that Weiner
roast? Naturally, they did. Why?
Well, 316 lost a Paid-up Pointer
Subscription contest.
It happened last Tuesday even
ing at the City Lake. Students
left together from the High
School and reassembled at the
city lake.
It was rumored in the Pointer
office today that some of those
attending the party forewent the
pleasures of eating for swings
and see-saws, but the pounds of
Weiners consumed would attest to
refutation of that rumor,
address to the Parents-Teachers
It is generally understood in
room 202-A that all rooms wish
ing to enter contests are welcome.
This is especially true when a
picnic is just in the offing.
