Twelfth Grade Wins Crown In
Third Annual Field Day Events
Auten Wins Three
To Lead Individuals
fiespite the sudden gusts of
wind and rain which threatened to
break up the party from the spec
tator’s point of view, the annual
Field Day May 3 produced one of
the I most thrilling rivalries in its
three-year history, as the twelfth
grade barely nosed out the tenth
68 »o 66 1-2.
John Auten captured top indi-
vidtal honors for the day with
three first places, in the running
high jump, standing high jump,
and running broad jump. Lewis
M(|gan turned in the most bril
liant single victory by running the
100-yard dash in ten seconds.
#ther class scores in the order
ofitheir standing were the ninth
grade in third with 60 %, the
eleventh grade fourth with 53, and
the freshmen trailing with 30 V2.
This was the third annual re
newal of the Field Day events, and
each year the senior class has car
ried off the honors for the day.
Originally sponsored by the Stu
dent Council, the event has now
passed in to the hands of the ath-
Paging The Champs!
For the second consecutive
year the girls’ tennis team cop
ped both the singles and dou
bles crowns in the annual South
Piedmont Conference tennis
tournament. Playing on the
courts of Concord high this
year, Josephine Beaver stroked
her way to the singles crown
captured by Josephine Whitley
last year, and the doubles team,
composed of Grace Cranford
and Idell Mauldin, polished off
their opponents to take the dou
bles crown.
The boys did not do so well,
although both entries entered
the hnals, losing there to Lex
ington and Thomasville netters.
Reid Gaskin entered the sin
gles, while Hod Shankle and
Bailey Gulledge played in the
doubles.

Through Best Season In Vears
On Albemarle High Diamond
The Albemarle Bulldogs had a
successful season in baseball this
year, winning 9 out of 16 games.
Ten of these games were in the
conference, and they won seven of
them for a percentage of .700. The
leader of the conference, Kannap
olis, lost only one game this season
in the conference and that was at
the hands of the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs got off to a bad
start at the beginning of the sea
son, as the team was not hitting or
fielding. Had this not been the
case, they would have probably
wound up on top in the conference.
The Bulldogs lost to Statesville in
the opening game of the season
2-0, and then lost to Concord in
another conference game. Toward
the middle of the season, however,
the team began hitting and won
most of the remainder of the
games.
The Bulldogs came out better
in conference competition than
non-conference tilts. Seven of the
nine wins were in the conference,
and only two were won outside
the conference.
They lost to Statesville, Con
cord, and Kannapolis in the con
ference, and to Harding, Badin,
and Troy twice.
Sweet revenge was had at the
expense of the Badin club in their
second clash. Twice last year and
once this year the Badin team had
been victorious over the Bulldogs.
But, as the old saying goes, “You
can’t keep a good team down”, and
the Bulldogs beat them 21-2 and
on Badin’s home field.
Another nemesis. Concord, was
also beaten soundly 10-0 in the
last game of the season as Bill
Furr, playing his last year at A.
H. S., added a fitting climax to his
high school career by pitching
beautiful ball and allowing only
five hits.
