This annual Is the first of its type to tie published in five years and ac cording to all remarks, th? public has received It well. I Und.r the editorship of Clara belie Brood, work was started shortly af ter mid-year when the various heads of departments were appointed by the editor and they began collecting and arranging material Also a campaign was conducted to sell the books before they were printed. The annual this year, has a new type of printed picture which has ' proved lo bp a success. These pic- ! lures are clear, and were made at a | minimum of expense. Points of much interest to every one in this book are th? snapshot pages, which reveal a great many of the students in startling poses doing unheard of things. Another striking feature is lo he found on the athletic pagpn where news clippings and pictures taken *n action portray the accomplishments of the year. Read the page nhout the facility and you will find that the teachers arc something more than mere walk ing encyclopedias. "The Pointer” this yesr has an unusual cover of birchwood paper with simple lettering which gives it a very distinctive appearance. The undertaking was sponsored by the senior class, who raised money from the Gvmboree, candy sales, senior class pi»*, h « o . n <- 4 iptlons, tmd advertising Everett Atkins, busi ness manager, deserves much com mendation for the financial succe-s of the annual On the whole, the hook seems to be one that everyone has a right to be proud of and one that will not easily be equaled. Mrs. Fleischer and Mr. Jewett were faculty advisors for the Pointer staff. — From The Centrul Pointer Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cook of Med ford were callers at the Powell home recently.
