We Want a Canteen!
“What are you going to do to
night, stay home or go to a show?’
“Yes, this is the question that
is being asked by the students of
A. H. S. more than any other or“
Why? Simply because there
nothing else for us to do.
Canteens all over the U. S. a
being established for soldiers. Why
not do the same for the young
people of our community?
One person’s house is not big
enough to be sufficient for a crowd
to dance, read, or relax. Having
this TEEN-AGE CANTEEN would
teach the students a sense of re
sponsibility, because they would
take care of it and treasure
The students are in favor of
this canteen 100%. There they
would have supervised entertain
ment that would do away with the
necessity for looking for enter
tainment.
What about it, adults? Why
give the kids what they want me
It’s a TEEN-AGE CANTEEN.
Poetry Corner
If you can smile even thoAgh the
boys are away
And not get blue because you have
no date.
If you can entertain yourself both
night and day
Or keep up your morale at any
If you can substitute a sherbet for
a sundae.
Or drink a pepsi for your reg’lar
coke.
If you can buy a stamp on every
Monday,
And order chocolate candy as a
joke;
If you can wear old shoes and not
complain.
And use less sugar in your cotfee
If you can walk more—(even
the rain),
ave on gas and yet not gripe
If you can take a trip on train
or bus.
And not let standing get you down,
If you can smile when your nylons
And wear your rayons and feel
style,
If you turn in a record for every
And think no more of it all the
while:
If you can do without your favor-
And be content with skirts that do
not twirl
You’re very patriotic and have
what it takes '
And which is more—you are a pi
up girl!
JEANNE PALMER.
Be Strong!
“If you won’t do better today,
you’ll do worse tomorrow.”
This is the motto of Miss Caugh-
man’s homeroom and geometry
classes. They are doing their best
to abolish borrowing in their i
“Borrowing leads to stealing,”
says Miss Caughman.
No one ever loafs in geometry
class either, for she always has a
poem that will fit the situation.
Here is one she quoted when some
one was complaining about how
hard they had to work in her r
“Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream,
to drift;
We have hard work to do and loads
to lift;
Shun not the struggle—face it; ’tis
God’s gift.
Be strong!
Say not, “The days are evil. Who’
to blame?”
And fold the hands and acquiesce—
oh shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely,
in God’s name.
I Be strong!
I It matters not how deep intrenched
the wrong.
How hard the battle goes, the day
1 how long,
I Faint not, fight on! Tomorrow
comes the song.”
THE STORE
le store was a crowd of con-
Among the roar and noise-
The counters swayed with the im
pact
That broke the dishes and toys.
The women screamed in terror
And pushed and crowded on;
But there by the light of the neons,
Alas, by the light of the neons,
Their hearts were filled with sad-
One day in June, ’twas very wan
And we were feeling gay,
So getting rod and tackle out
Planned a fishing trip that day.
Our lunches packed and overalls
We planned to have some fui
We all piled in the old model “T”
And finally coaxed it to run.
With rattle and roar and an awful
bang
We finally made the river.
I guess the fish had been scared
Due to the noise of the fliver.
We fished anyway and sat and —
But the fish just weren’t around;
Some one said, and we agreed.
We might as well head back
We coaxed, we begged, we tried
every way—
The fliver was stubborn as heck.
We pushed and pulled, then just
gave up
We couldn’t budge the wreck.
Some people tell their fish stories
Of fish so long and round—
I’ll confess the only thing we
caught
Was a ride back into town.

WHO'S WHO
DICK MORROW
'There goes a P-38,” declared
Dick Morrow, Albemarle high
school airplane authority.
Dick is noted for his knowledge
about airplanes and for modeling
them, since he began when he was
years old.
^t an airplane contest at the
Stanly Hardware, Dick won second
prize for one of his planes.
The Cleveland model is the one
he likes best to build, but his fa
vorite plane is the “Wildcat”.
Several of his planes have been
display in the window at the
First National Bank. Dick says he
no longer has any planes or models
them, but he plans to take it up
again in college.
Dick is a quiet person, but dur
ing his four years in high school
he has made a very definite place
Dick is a member of the Honor
Society and president of the soci
ety, also a member of the student
council in ninth grade and presi
dent of his homeroom In the elev
enth grade.
As for his teachers he says any
of them are 0. K., but he prefers
physics as his favorite subject.
When asked about his favorite
.-ovie stars, he answered “Betty
Grable, and as for the men I don’t
re anything about them.”
After graduating this year Dick
plans to go to State College and

JO EARP

friendly? Well, of course it could
be none other than Jo Earp. Jo
is known for her friendliness and
cheerful smile.
She spends her spare time in
tewing and working at Rose’s. An
ideal evening to her is one spent
at a good show.
Jo’s favorite dish was ban;
before the war, but now she will
take candy—only one is about
hard to get as the other.
“Home Ec. and Math are i .
favorite subjects,” Jo said, and her
idea of a good teacher is one that
doesn’t give home work and
that will let you talk, once
while.
“My favorite sport is tennis (al
though I can’t play so well),” sta
ted Jo, “and my dislikes are con
ceited and inconsiderate people.”
While in high school she has
been a member of the Mixed Chor
us, Girls’ Ensemble, and Dramatics
club and home room representa
tive in the tenth grade, president
of Dramatics club, president of
home room in eleventh grade and
treasurer of Mixed Chorus.
When asked what her plans

plan to enter Chapel Hill this sum
mer and Elon next fall, and con
tinue until I get a Ma.ster’s De
gree, and then teach Home Ec. in
college.”

PARODY
I think that I-shall never go
To see a scary picture show.
Where all the women yell and
scream
And there will be a murder scene.
Such are seen by fools like me.
But that’s one place that I won’t be.
, DENNIE STATON.

"Wolverine^ Are Coming
Girls! What are you waiting
for? Here’s a chance that comes
only once every four years. You

that phone to ring. Yes, it’s leap
year and a few of the students
have their own ideas about this
business of girls catching the boys.
Here are some of their opinions.
“At last I won’t have to wait
for the silly phone to ring. I’ll
just call up a date whenever I get
an extra show fare.” Helen Brown.
“It won’t do me any good.” Labe
Little. ^
“The girls don’t know it’s leap
year.” Charlie Wiles.
“It would be wonderful if there
were any boys to leap at.” Helen
Smart.
