Fry Rain Rain is most likely to occur when your raincoat or umbrella is at home or you’ve gone off and left all the wmdows open m the house. People frequently say rain comes down in sheets, but tnere is no evidence that anyone ever actually saw any such thing. Rain is responsible for mud, in which automobiles get stuck. It makes leaks which you don’t know anything about until the walls have been discolored or the ceiling comes down upon your head. There’s no way of stopping rain after it gets started. But there are ways of bringing it on. Having your car washed is effective at times, but planning a picnic on a certain afternoon is a double-twister which never fails. Rain is fine for crops, but it makes the grass and -weeds grow even faster. The best thing you can do about rain is get in and out of it. Why Not a Scoreboard? Why doesn’t A. H. S. have a scoreboard for their football games? They managed to acquire a fancy electric scoreboard for the basketball games, and by all odds, there are many, many more fans attending the football games than there are attending the basketball games. In the first place many people arrive late and would like to find out what the score is at the game. In the second place, many people are not sure how much certain types of scoring count, such as a touchback, field goal, safety touchdown, and the conversion. Furthermore, any fan could tell at a glance just exactly how the score stands at any time. It doesn’t need to be fancy. There are several types, electrically controlled or manually operated. This latter type doesn’t cost too much, and should be available now as a substitute until a better one can be found. Bleachers Absent From Athletic Field The spectators are complaining about having to stand and look at the ball game. Many people think something should be done about it and are threatening to stay away from the contests. The bleachers have been rotten for almost two years and nothing has been done. There is a very good excuse for this. Materials have been on priority for the whole time the bleachers have been dilapidated. The school board wants to get steel bleachers so they will remain indefinitely. Bleachers should be gotten and will be gotten when the material is available. Till then the public will have to bear with the school. the full moon Featuring the Faculty . . • Who is the man and with sleeves rolled up that you see around A. H. S.. He the general repair man for e'ectri cal appliances in the school. If 7°“ want to know what makes tick, just take them to him. He has the General Science classes and the Chemistry class. He can tell you all about the law he can’t control it. Ask him what happened when he played carpen ter during his vacation. Yes, it’s Mr. Hatley. He ^ad- uated from Duke University about so many years ago. Mr. Hatley has attended summer school at Carolina and Catawba, but that doesn’t keep him from betting on Duke. , i „ Mr. Hatley says he prefers t o teach Physics, but he enjoys ^e chemistry experiments, too. His reading is usually limited to scien tific books and material. He be lieves in understanding what you study and he says, “When you^look at a thing, be sure you see it. He wrote a General Science laboratory manual in 1937, which is being used by his classes and by other classes in the state. Mr. Hatley is a North State bas ketball official and has coached the local team for the past three years; he coached one undefeated team the first year he coached. The way cards are stacked now he will coach the team again this year. After school hours he works on radios, washing machines, refriger ators, irons, picture machines, etc. He grows shrubbery and flowers for a hobby too. He claims he is pretty good, but the only proof we have is the flowers in the General Science lab. He also likes things connected with meteorology and keeps up with all branches of it. When you go to see Mr. Hatley, keep your wits about you and take a dictionary of scientific terms. October 31,1945 “IF I WERE WHAT 1 AIN’T INSTEAD OF WHAT I is> If you could make yourself over, what changes would you make, the Inquiring Reporter wanted to know. Miriam Whitley, who is plenty 0 K as is, wants to have red, cur ly hair and a swell figure which she figures she might have if she lost about twelve pounds. Helen Boone wants to be a tall gal with black hair, while Betty An derson doesn’t care whether she s tall or short—all she wants is a ter rific figure, loads of personality and curly black hair. Kathleen Austin and Maxine Burleson would be bru nettes. When Mary Lamar and Jimmy Kelly were asked, they said they are perfectly satisfied. So is Labe Little, who apparently likes him self the way he is. Charles Morris is undecided. All Gene Whitlock wants is the most perfect 155-pound physique and real athletic ability. Elmon Russell wants a Atlas. physique like ci^ Bob Melton wants more btsi. plus black hair and cat eyes ford Eamhart wants straifht? so all the gals won't run Paul Lowder would like tall, dark and handsome “voice,” * Martha Jane Tobias would 1, satisfied with a figure like Turner, eyes like Hedy LamarrtS legs like the girl who married ry James. Betty Mac wants a lot of w. sonahty, and Peggy Wolfe wans, sense of humor. Rose Haital would have a lot of musical tal« if she had her way. Maggie 8®- sell’s one wish is to be short, skill Nancy Glover wants to be talliji be rid of her “baby” face. Mildred Thompson is not g to attempt any changes. She ai’ she’d probably make a worse aa tfcan what she already is. IMPRESSIONS 2. 5. Library Notes Let the Teams Shine Unless action is taken on the conduct problem at games, there will be people who will not attend, because they cannot enjoy the game for the younger generation who are continuously running up and down the field, not caring about other fans. There are some of the older generation, too, who move as the ball moves, blocking the view for the others who also paid to see the game. Another problem is that ,of boys rushing on the field between halves. At both the Salisbury and the Kannapolis games they refused to give way in order that the visiting bands might march—an inex cusable display of bad manners. It is natural that a few people will want souvenirs of the games (in this case, the crepe paper decorating the goal posts), but there is no excuse in the world for their climbing the goal posts and tearing them down trying to get the paper. Offenders are primarily grammar graders, though high school students and townspeople are also often in the crowd. An educational program should be launched during these three weeks that the team is playing away from home so that the next game on the local field will feature the teams playing rather than the audience. Wanted: Teen-Agers Have people noticed the large number of students attending high school this year? The enrollment has increased considerably, but there are still a lot of teen-agers doing work elsewhere that should be in school. If these boys and girls do not return to school now, nine-tenths of them will never go to school again, and will have no higher education than that of an eighth or ninth grader. If every boy and girl stopped school at the age of 14, think of the mess the future world would be in. Sometimes people get it in their heads that they don’t matter. Every person has a place and a job in the world that he should fill to the best of his ability. It is also his job to see that he is fitted (educated) for the position. Jobs will not always be as plentiful as they are now. It is obvious now by the increasing amount of unemployment. The man with the most education is going to get the job. The uneducated will have to suffer. The contribution to the world of tomorrow by the teen-agers should be broad-mindedness and intelligence—people who will see that the peace that our brothers and fathers fought and died for is kept. The only way to produce a broad-minded intelligent America is for its youth to be educated. Boys and girls, school is our job today to fit us for the jobs of tomorro.v. Come back to school.

If you look around, you can. surely understand why so many poets have been inspired to write such beautiful poetry during this season of the year. There is on display in the library a collection of poetry written about {lutumn. During the month of November why not read one of the following poems each day to add variety to your reading?
