All the ideas have been heartily approved by the teachers and students. “Butter” Furr and Beaul Lef- ler especially like the plan to put in telephones to the different rooms. This way they think they can keep up with all that goes on and do their studies too. The suggestion for mirrors to be placed on each table and a full-length one at each end of the room was for Jane Priester and Jean Boone so that their hair will always look pretty. Included in the blueprints is a lounge-room for the teachers and their “favorite” students to spend their leisure time. Here they can come any time during the day and stay hours at the time just loafing. All the teachers were especially helpful on these plans. Mr. Hatley thought they should include a radio and turntable so that he and Miss Berrier could practice up on their dancing. Any day during the week that the students can’t seem to get their minds on their studies Mr. Mc- Fadyen wants them to feel free to go and come from the study hall. After they have had some rest, they can try again to com plete their studying. To break the monotony of a straight hour-class, cigarettes are passed to each student. They are free to take as many as desired. M'hile they are enjoying these, a floor show is presented twice a week by* the Black Masque dra matics club. Dancing, singing and other ideas are carried out by the many beautiful girls and hand some boys of A. H. S. These are a few of the many conveniences soon to be added for the health and pleasure of all A. H. S. If any one wishes something special that hasn’t been thought of by the architects, please let “Red” know before construction begins. Senior Class Will Visit (Continued from page one.) any movie stars, but to climb mountains, eat oranges, get a touch of that delightful California weather, and hear Alton Ward sing in person over CBMS (Cali fornia Break the Microphone Sys tem). The seniors were very in dignant when they learned the name of the broadcasting system sponsoring Alton, but they were put at ease when it was made clear to them that the “Break the Micro phone” clause meant that the vi brations from the applause would smash the microphone and not Al ton’s singing. And with Alton’s dreamy, melo dious voice I’inging in their ears, the seniors of A. H. S. return to school on June 12 in time for grad uation exercises. Students To Take Teachers Positions For one day, March 6, the fac ulty of Albemarle High School gave over their positions as teach ers to the students of the school. Peggy Mann’s first official act as teacher of the third period Eco nomics class was to declare a half day holiday. Principal 0. B. Lackey made a speech in chapel and read the new constitution of the school, after it had been checked by Mr. McFad- yen. The constitution appears in this paper. The General Business class was conducted by Mr. Butter Furr. He explained an easy way to work out interest on notes. Miss Rog ers’s way was much too compli cated for several members of the class. Gene Whitlock, the Euclid of the geometry class, took over from Miss Caughman. He explained to the class how to work the complex problems that he knows so much about. Since Mrs. Harris’s 5th period French class is so large, it took two students to teach. Labe Little gave a very long test, and Geral dine Boone corrected papers. At the end of the day the classes had had so much fun that a vote was taken and it was decided that the teachers would not come back, so the students will continue to teach until school is out on May 1. Have You Noticed The watermelons Miss Caugh man is growing,in her homeroom? How the boys are “dressing-up” to come to school? — ties and everything. What high grades the General Business class makes? All the A’s Mrs. Fry gives on report cards? That the girls have stopped wearing lip-stick? That Telegraph-hill is empty every night? That Mr. McFadyen doesn’t give homework any more? That no more students “lay-out” of school to go to the movies? That “Cootie” Glover has grown two inches? That Peggy Mann wears a size 5% shoe now? Oscar L. has quit music? That there are hardly no boys in the 5th period typing class? That Miss Rogers has let her hair get long? That Miss Taylor never makes her English students write themes? Answers 1. Joanna Lefler 2. Gordon Allan 3. Bobby Owens 4. Mildred Mullis 5. Peggy Morris 6. Louise Poplin 7. Douglas Phillips 8. Edward Underwood Porter, Albemarle To Decide State Championship The state ice hockey champion ship conference comes to an end tonight in the old gym of A. H. S. when the two top teams. Porter and Albemarle, meet to decide the state championship. Porter edged out Charlotte last night, and A. H. S. swiped a close victory from Shelby. The winner of the game will go to the national championship. Due to the slight slip in an ex periment of “Rod” Hatley’s, which was to put hot water pipes under the old gym, but resulted in a three-foot flood which soon froze over, there is now a place for the ice hockey games. The probable starting lineup for the girls will be Margaret “Crook” Patterson, Helen “Toad” Smart, and Sue “Lefty” Fowler at the for ward spots, Jeanette “Football” Wilhelem, and Betsy “Bull” Brem er, at guards, and Betty Jane “Bozo” Hearne as goalie. Coach Peg Williams has been drilling her team hard and expects a victory tonight. For the boys it will be Chloe “Deljores” MuHenix, Hiram “Ter ror” Saunders, and Hafford “Fat- stuff” Almond at the forwards; at guards: Rufus “Speechless” Whit ley and Gene (?) Beeker. Capt. Charles “Skinny” Boyette will be the Goalie. Coach J. C. Morris has announced that Conrad “Paper Doll” Crotts will be water boy. High scoring honors this season for the girls go to “Lefty” Fowler with 17 goals, while “Toad” Smart runs a very very close second with 5. The three forwards of the boys team are tied with 8 points each. Hot action is expected tonight against the Ports. Principal “Hink’’ McFadyen has promised to heat the gym so that spectators can be warm too. Mr. McFadyen was heard to say in connection with the unexpected ice rink, “That’s a fine piece of work, Raymond; now they won’t scratch up the lobby with their skates and the players and specta tors will have more room.” His reply was, “Well, thank you, I always attempted to do what I do absolutely perfect.” WANTED: A boy friend with a car—Helen Brown and Joyce Boone.

Ivey and McAdams ’ Join A.H.S. Faculty Due to the resignations of Mrs. Lynn and Miss Holt, A. H. S. has two new teachers. Mrs. Ivey, who has replaced Mrs. Lynn, is teaching the followng subjects: N. C. History, spelling, literature, science, and two study halls. Mrs. Ivey taught in the Wiscas- sett Elementary School before her marriage, but she says that she has taught at New London longer than at any other school. Mrs. Ivey h^ also substituted at various schools throughout the county. Mrs. McAdams, taking the place of Miss Holt, has the physical ed ucation classes. STuaenis uiscuss Dumbarton Oaks The Dumbarton Oaks peace pro posals were discussed in assembly by senior English students April 6- Since schools and clubs were ask ed to discuss the Dumbarton Oaks Peace Plans before the San i^an- cisco conference, Mrs. Fry s 3rd period class concluded a imit on public speaking by discussing the peace plans in assembly. Oscar Lackey was chairman and explained the importance of Dum barton Oaks. Helen Smart spoke on the Assembly. Jim Lamar told about the Security Council ; John- ie Gaskin, the International Court of Jistice; Jane Morton, the Eco nomic and Social Councils; Divnght Wilhelm, the Secretanat; and Kent Outlaw explained the weak points and the uncompleted work on the plan for peace. After this, Oscar Lackey asked for questions from the audience and referred them to the various speakers. 01 E/Uiei; tteuy jvicnuams, as An nie, a maid; Ruthie Brooks, as Sadie Bloom; and Gordon Allan as a taxidriver.

Salisbury Band Plays In Chapel The Boyden High School band of Salisbury, under the direction of Mr. Southwick, presented a pro gram at Albemarle high school on April 10. The program began with every body singing the “Star Spangled Banner.” The band played the “Nation al Anthem March”; “Attila”, Hun garian overture; “Cabins,” a Ne gro spiritual; “Three Blind Mice and a Night Club Floor Show”; “Tea For Two”; “Midnight Sun”; and “The Hall of Fame March.” The program was arranged by Miss Vanda Lippert, public school music teacher. No. 6 Broughton Will Address Seniors 1 Former N. C. Governor Will Speak Here On June 12. J. Melville Broughton, who was governor of North Carolina before Cherry, has been secured as the speaker for commencement exer cises to be held in the auditorium on June 12. Broughton is one of the out standing speakers of the .state and is well known as a friend of the schools. Broughton’s name was mention ed at the Convention held at Chi cago in the summer of 1944 as a possible candidate for the vice presidency of the United States. The subject of Mr. Broughton’s address has not yet been learned, but it is certain to interest and benefit the class. The baccalaureate sermon is to be preached on June 10 by Dr. George Rhodes, pastor of the First Lutheran Church of Albemarle. The graduating class this year includes 128 students, 108 eleventh graders and nineteen twelfth grad ers. Officers of the class of 1945 are: Fritz Luther, pre.sident; Pete Clark, vice president; Jeanne Pal mer, secretary; Jane Morton, treas urer. No New Members Will Be Tapped Into Honor Group Mr. McFadyen has announced that there will be no tapping of members into the National Honor Society either this spring or next fall. This is due to the fact that there are no more seniors eligible and the present juniors are really only sophomores, as the twelfth grade is required now. Next spring there will be a tap ping, and if there aren’t enough of the present members in school then, some former members who are in town will be a.sked to come and help tap the new members. By Their Words “The U. S. 0. has pledged to stand by as long as necessary, be cause we know the American peo ple will give to the war fund.”— Miss Eleanor Wilson. “I know if you have ever before been to Charleston, you have prob ably landed in St. Michael’s grave yard.”—Mrs. Fry. Mr. McFadyen (introducing a guest speaker): “’The gentleman on the stage—rather the other gentleman on the stage—is Mr. Wright.” “Dwight, do you know you are going to make about a D on con duct—if you’re lucky?”—Miss Tay lor. “They will tell you to smile, and when the smile begins to wear off they snap your picture.”—Claudine Lowder. Ruby Hatley had just had her senior picture made when Cherry Still inquiringly asked, “Did it hurt. Ruby?” “Get your libs rifted.”—Mr. Fry. Betty Heame, frantically looking through her music in mixed chor us, moaned: “The Lost Chord is lost again.” “Lackey’ll argue with anything he knows is not so.”—-Mr. Hatley. “I fell and almost killed my knee.”—Colleen Glover. Miss Taylor (to 4th period his tory class) “We’re going to have a history lesson today if I have to talk to the vacant desks!”
