E POINTER-BEMUS POINT. N. Y. ???? IUNIOR Oh, our baby course is interesting It,s funny too, you bet. Izora and Perra brought to school A pink and blue layette. Joyce very nearly drowned, The baby in his bath, She did succeed in raising, ' Our poor little teacher's wrath. i Now Peggy, Midge and Vivian, Who always are so quiet, Soon learned how we should feed him And how to plan his diet. Now Verna, Joyce and Eunice, Oh, queer it truly seems, Are checking his bad habits, 'Till he haunts them in their dreams. Home Economics Class, Ins. OUR HOME ECONOMIC CLASS First, we enter and quietly sit down. Miss Wallace then enters with a frown, lzora, youire chewing your gum too fast Quick, in the basket and no sassg Peggy, we will have no giggling, And now you may start reading. Midge, wipe off that silly grin, Where, Peggy left off you begin. Now, Perra, as fast as you can sail, Down tothe cellar for the mop and pail. My other class is busy, making Their green and white cooking aprons. I knew you little girls wou1dn't mind, To do their dirty work this timef' Alas, we're ready for our coffins, As Miss Wallace does this often. -P. E. T.

THE-POINTER-BEMUS POINT, N. Y. 31 SHOP NOTES There are 26 boys that are taking shop from the Vocational teacher, Mr. David W. Dorman. Mr. Dorman says that the boys do fine work and several of them have exceptional abilities in regards to the things that they accom- plish. The boys think that Mr. Dorman also is well adapted to the task that hc is undertaking, that is teaching a bunch of novices how to use tools and how to make furniture. Some of the things that the wood working department has turned out seem to prove that most any boy can use tools if he has a chance. Those taking wood working are: Bill Cheney, George Colby, Laurence Carl- son, Thomas Van Wert, Gilbert French, Clayton Stearns, Orvin Crandall, Roy Kesby, Robert Miller, Walter Rhinehart, Vance Berdine, Carl Stowell, Nor- man Ingerson, Merle Slater, Robert Hallberg, Clayton Hellgren and Ira Hel- gren. Some of the class are working on Taborets, End tables, sewing cabinets, book-ends, baseball bats, pedestals and various other projects. Also Mr. Dorman has several boys from the 8th grade who are making door stops in the form of cats, and these boys are: James Russ, Walter Russ, 4'Half-pinti' Donald Traynor, and Fred Paddock. Some of the most outstanding projects are: Adelbert Slater's radio cabinet in which he plans to install a short wave. regular broadcast, and a television receiver: Norman Stearns' library table, Art Ingerson's cedar chest, Mark Pickard's porch swing, George Colby's smoking cabinet, and Gilbert French's record cabinet. In the Electricity department there are 7 boys all of whom are accom- plishing a great deal. They are, Hugh Sample, Norman Stearns, Art Inger- son, Adelbert Slater, Mark Pickard, Stuart Russ, and Ralph Webb. The plates which were used in the making of the Pointer this year were done by members of the Bemus Point High School. The Jamestown Print- ing Concern kindly furnished the tools which were used. The members who helped in the making of the plates are as follows: Leslie Ward-School Front Page. Julia Rodier-Seniors and Literary. Sherman Barons-Activities. Olive Crandell-Classes.
