Page Four THE POINTER JANUARY 18, 1949 ^Scholastic^ Poll Shows Why Youth Attend Movies What are the movie habits of^ high school students ? Why do they go to see certain films? A poll, conducted by Scholastic Magazine among 79,755 high school students indicates that more than 67% of all junior and senior high school students at tend the movies at least once a week. The boys and girls who re ceived ballots from the Institute of Student Opinion were divided as to the most important factor influencing their choice of movies. In fact, the highest percentage 19.10% said that they “just went” for no particular reason. This group was closely followed by 18.46%'who went because they read about - the film in a maga zine, and 16.33% who hea^ their school friends talk about it. “It is significant,” points out M. R. Robinson, president and publisher of Scholastic Magazine, “that aproximately one third of the total vote indicated that in fluences directly traceable to school life are a paramount fac tor in selection of movies.” Concert Given By Orchestra The Senior High School orches tra, under the direction of Miss Virginia Frank, presented its an nual winter concert on Sunday afternoon, January 9, in the Junior High School auditorium.
