Three Teachers Attend
Annual Conference
Three high school music teach-
Tillotson, and
Miss Worsham, attended the music
conference in Greensboro, October
loth.
The conference was divided into
three parts: band directors, music
teachers, and choral directors.
Mr. Tillotson played in the Da
vidson band, which was used for
a demonstration of various princi
ples for high school band directors.
Mr. Fry attended the choral di
rectors’ meeting, presided over by
Mr. Olaf Christiansen, director of
the Oberlin college A Capella
choir. Mr. Christiansen directed
the clinic choir composed of 280
high school students from near-by
cities.
Miss Worsham attended the
meeting for the piano teachers.
Radical changes were made in
the plans for the annual music
contest to be held in Greensboro in
the spring.
Health Projects
To Be Sponsored
In cooperation with the health
program being conducted in the
high school, home room programs
for the next nine weeks will be
based on health topics.
In connection with the health
programs a poster contest will be
sponsored. The poster may be of
any phase or type concerning
health and is to be handed in on
or before December 6.
A committee of teachers, Misses
Moore, Milling, Holt and Polston
have worked out these possible top
ics for the programs: Posture, Nu
trition, Common Ailments, First
Aids, Patent Medicines, Tobacco
and Alcohol, General Physical
Check Up, Mental Hygiene, and
Social Hygiene.
These programs will begin in
home rooms the latter part of Oc
tober and last through December.
Clubs Organized
Under N ew Plan
Six new clubs have been formed
under the new club plan put into
effect this year. This plan, intro
duced by Mr. Gibson in a recent
assembly program, is designed to
i accommodate only those students
, who are sincerely interested in club
work, and for this reason the prac-
I tice of giving credit toward grad-
j nation for club work will be dis-
I continued.
The Creative Writing club, with
Miss Watson as sponsor, will have
as its principal function the publi
cation of the Al-Hi-Script, school
literary magazine. The Mixed
Chorus club under the direction of
Mr. Fry will serve as a chapel
choir, and make several other pub
lic appearances during the year.
The other new clubs are Model
Airplane club, Physical Culture
club for boys under the direction
of Mr. Gehring, Current Problems
club with Miss McKenzie as spon
sor, and the Art club under the di
rection of Miss Powell.
Other clubs which have been or
ganized are the Physical Culture,
Boosters’, Dramatic, Athletic,
Home Economics, Science, Photog
raphy, and Arts and Crafts. A
high school orchestra has also been
formed, under the direction of Mr.
Jack Tillotson. This orchestra
meets on both club days, and is
composed of selected members of
the school band.

Four Students Selected To Attend
Congress Of Students In Durham
Improvement Made
In School Cafeteria
At least fifty students and eight
teachers are served each day in
the high school cafeteria, accord
ing to a statement made by Mrs.
L. J. Skidmore, supervisor of cafe
terias in the county. It takes two
full-time workers and six girl help
ers to serve this number.
During the summer, additional
cabinets and some paint were
added to the cafeteria.
The usual meal for the day con
sists of meat, two or three vege
tables, a, salad, milk, and desert—■
cakes, pies or ice cream.
Most of this food is produced in
an eleven-acre garden owned by
the cafeteria. During the sum
mer, 1,813 quarts of vegetables and
fruits were canned by the work
ers, seventy-five bushels of Irish
potatoes were produced, one hun
dred pounds of peas and beans
were dried, and one-fourth acre of
sweet potatoes and three and one-
half acres of corn are yet to be
harvested. The winter garden will
have such vegetables as turnips,
mustard, rape, cabbage, and col-
lards. .
The cafeteria has a Grade A
state rating.

Student Attitudes
Is To Be Discussed
An invitation has been extended
to the student council to send rep
resentatives to the annual state
convention of student councils to
be held in Durham, November 3-4.
In a special session of the stu
dent council Friday morning, Jane
Austin Turner, Carolyn Stone, Lois
Milton, and Lee Copple were select
ed to represent Albemarle in this
meeting. Registration will be just
prior to the first conference, which
will begin at 2 :30 Friday afternoon
in the Durham high school audi
torium.
The list of speakers has not been
released yet, but professors from
the neighboring universities, Duke
and Carolina, will participate. In
order that all students will be able
to take part in the convention,
group discussions will be held with
“Student Attitudes” as the topic.
Friday night a banquet will be
held for the visitors followed by a
dance in the Durham high gym
nasium. Saturday morning there
will be a short business meeting,
after which it is hoped that the
delegates will be able to see the
North Carolina - North Carolina
State game in Chapel Hill.
Officers of the State Student
Council Congress are Bahnson
Gray of R. J. Reynolds high in
Winston-Salem, president, and
Rowena Mason of Durham high
school, treasurer.
Last year was the first year that
Albemarle participated in this con
gress. The meeting was held in
Kannapolis.
