JAMES FRY
As president of one of the most
distinctive organizations of high
school, the Hi-Y club, James Fry
has proved himself a capable and
trustworthy officer. James has
also been elected president of
home room and vice president of
the Dramatic club.
A popular and enthusiastic stu
dent and booster for the school,
this senior is one of the cheer
leaders for athletic games and
has helped lead cheers at football
games this fall. Since football is
his favorite sport, he really puts
pep into the yells.
James is one of the best stu
dents in his class, and has made a
fine record throughout his high-
school career. After graduation
he plans to go to the University
of Ohio to take a course in chem
ical engineering. We feel that
James will make a splendid record
in college and succeed in his am
bitions.

Need for Study Is
Principal’s Topic
The talk which Mr. Gibson gave
o the student body Monday, No
ember 19, stressed the need for
study each day in school.
He stated that what we do to
day greatly influences our activi
ties tomorrow. “Something is
needed to awaken the students to
the realization of the need for
study and achievement. The fail-
in the colleges are due large-
) the lack of study habits in
high school. It is becoming hard-
for those students who do not
as well as their ability permits
to gain entrance into colleges or
to take up their work in other
schools. More and more it is the
pupils who put forth their best
efforts in school who are taking
the work of the leading citizens
Home Ec Club Has
Christmas Project
In the Home Economics club,
sponsored by Mrs. Rogers, the
girls have spent their time at the
last two meetings learning about
using Christmas decorations
wrapping Christmas presents.
Under Christmas decorations
they made wreaths for the door
ways and windows, learned to dec
orate a mantel and a Christmas
tree. The last meeting was spent
in learning how to wrap a neat
Christmas package. This included
the use of the right kind of paper
and card and the arranging of
fancy bows on their presents.
The girls in the club hope that
this work will help to make their
homes prettier and more attractive
during the holidays.
Visits the Press
On December 2 Miss Watson’s
section of the Journalistic club
made a very instructive and inter
esting visit to the Stanly News
and Press.
Work was progressing on Tues-
,y’j edition. Perhaps the most
interesting thing observed was the
press in operation. The club mem
bers learned that about three
thousand, eight hundred copies
be printed in an hour, eight
pages printed at one time—-four
as the paper winds off the spindle
and four as it nears the cutter.
Since a slight pause is necessary
when the plates are pressed against
the paper, equalizers are placed
about the machine to take up the
ilack. The press itself is operated
3y one electrically driver motor.
When a larger or smaller size pa
ir is wanted, a larger or smaller
se spool of paper is used.
The students also enjoyed
watching the linotype operators at
work and watching the various op
erations in the office.
gram was presented by the club.
The main speaker was A. B.
Gibson, who discussed plans for
physical culture in future years in
A. H. S. and the importance of
good health to a person’s well
Miss Holt, instructor, sang two
selections with Cozette Marshall at
the piano.
He stated that in the future di
plomas from Albemarle high school
would ze given as college and non
college diplomas. Students whose
efforts do not justify recommenda-
to college will under no cir
cumstances be recommended.
Likewise those students whose ef
forts and good character command
attention will be pushed where
jobs open up for graduates.
