Junior Class Order
For Rings Is Taken
For the first time in the history
of A. H. S., members of the Junior
class are being allowed to order
class rings.
Wartime conditions and the fact
that the company which makes the
rings may be taken over at any
time by the government is respon
sible for the change in regulations.
The large spinel blue sets which
Albemarle high school has been ac
customed to receiving will no long-
r be used, as these sets were pre
viously imported from now Ger-
.nan-occupied countries. The blue
spinel sets are being replaced by
red ruby sets.
Miss Laws, senior class advisor,
stated that some members of the
senior class who ordered the rings
last week may have to accept the
red ruby sets also.
The order to be sent off from the
junior class is the largest order for
rings ever to be made in A.H.S.

Survey Made of Care
Of A. H. S. Girl Stude
Of the 337 girls who have grad
uated from A. H. S. during the
past five years,
67 attended college,
93 are married,
69 are working in the mills,
33 are store clerks,
27 are doing office work,
14 attended business schools,
11 attended a school of nursing,
according to a survey conducted
by advanced students in home eco
nomics in a recent study of voca-
There were various girls who
entered vocations in which the field
was not so wide and varied. Of
the 337 girls approximately 16
girls are not employed other than
employment they do at home. Out
of this number information could
not be secured on seven girls. Only
two of the girls have died.
The students in the home eco
nomics department, under the su
pervision of Mrs. Lloyd Troxler,
studied the type of work they are
planning to do or the requirements
for attending college.
Out of the 48 girls in the two
classes, only eight are planning to
attend college. The remaining 40
enter nurses training, busi-
school, beauty schools, the
home, the mill, and other places of
employment. Each girl made a
survey on the field in which she
was interested and then reported
that survey to the entire class.
Two outside speakers, Miss Beu
lah McKenzie and Mr. J. C. Mor
ris, were invited to talk to the
girls and discuss with them then
problems. Miss McKenzie, form i
teacher, is now employed with the
Stanly County Welfare Depart
ment and Mr. J. C. Morris is a
Morgan Motor
Company
Miss Watson: Contrast Tenny
son and Browning.
Wade Harris: One was better
than the other.
Mr. Wilson presented Helen
Lowder with a simple arithmetic
problem to work. Helen frankly
admitted, “Mr. Wilson, I’ll declare
if I can work algebra.”
