Bible Department
GivesThanksgiving
Chapel Program
“A Thanksgiving Meditation”
was the program given today in
chapel by Miss Peebles’s Bible
classes and homeroom.
The program was under the
leadership of Junior Blake. It con
sisted of songs, prayers, responsive
readings, hymns, fourfold thank.s-
giving, a meditation, and prayer.
A chorus, the members of Miss
Peebles’s ninth grade homeroom,
sang “Let All 'Things Now Liv
ing”. Jerry Freeman led the
prayer. “A Litany of Thanksgiv
ing”, a responsive reading, was
used. In this reading thanks were
given for all of the things in life.
“A Fourfold Thanksgiving” was
also used. This Thanksgiving con
sisted of four different types of
people’s conceptions of what they
should be thankful for. “An In
dian’s Thanksgiving” was given by
Bobby Stoker, “A Pilgrim’s Remi
niscence” by Bobby Smith, “A Sol
dier’s Thanksgiving” by Warren
Drye, “A Sailor’s Thanksgiving” by
Johnny Gaskin.
The program was ended with the
hymn, “Lead On, O King Eternal.”
A.H.S. has bought a total of

leaving $1,682.20 still to be bought

Jack Harris, president of the
student body, was the year’s
first guest at the Rotary Club

The guests this year will be
limited to boys and will be

giving more students a chance
to be chosen. The guest stu
dent will be chosen at a class
meeting of the eleventh and
twelfth grades.
Many other students of A. H.
S. will be honored by this pro
cedure.

Students Have Varied Choice Of Books,
Murders To Poetry,.. They Like Em All
When A.H.S. students and a few
faculty members were asked what
books they like, their choice rang
ed from nursery rhymes and fun
ny books to historical novels and
poetry.
There are only a few students
who prefer nursery rhymes and
funny books, but the ones that do
are George and Frank Winecoff,
“Diz” Owens, and David Lowder.
The reason these boys are so fond
of these “classics,” so they say, is
that they can understand them or
because of the pictures.
Murder mysteries also have a
strange attraction for the stu
dents, but no two chose the same
one. Edwin Snuggs says he likes
Hidden Stair Case because it keeps
you in suspense. Charles Morris
says he liked The Haunted Book
shop because it is a dark good
book.
J. R. Smith says he likes murder
mysteries in general. The Devil
Loves Me w'as chosen by Jane Har
rington. She had one of the most
blood-thirsty reason yet found.
Jane says she liked it because so
many people got killed. Sue Her
rin chose Mystery Flowers. Grady
Lowder evidently likes things from
the world of spirits because he
chose Ghosts That Still Walk. He
says he liked it because no one
could explain it.
The books Star-Spangled Sum
mer and Glory Be, by Janet Li
bert, w'ere chosen by “Lib” Miller,
Page Huckabee, Hanky Skidmore,
Isabel Outlaw, Mabeline Lowder,
Sally Beaver, Nancy Hearne and
Nancy Priester. Wonder if the
remaining ninth grade girls like
them best, too.
Everyone likes books ^ about
things he is interested in, so
the results show that A.H.S. stu
dents are normal about such. Jack
Morton likes pioneers and fighting,
so Hobnailed Boots is his favorite.
W. C. Floyd likes sea stories, and
Mutiny on the Bounty is his fa
vorite. Frances Austin chose Las
sie Come Home for her favorite.
Cranford Hathcock likes horses, so
he chose Horses I Have Known,
Peggy Morehead likes The n in
ning Basket because it’s about her
favorite sport. Miss Peebles choos
es The Rohe because its about Bib
lical happenings. Joel Mauldin
chose Jim Hunter, Sportsman.
The thrill and excitement of
Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo and
other war stories appeals to some
students. Those who like Thirty
Seconds Over Tokyo are Colleen
Hinson, Mary Lamar, and Claud-
ine Crisco. Edwin Boone, a sailor
graduate, likes Up Front. Bobby
Morton likes Guadalcanal Diary.
Mary Louise Elder likes Green
Dolphin Street because of the hero.
“It’s interesting,” is the reason
Carol Rogers likes Just Ten Min
utes. Last of the Mohicans is
George Turner’s favorite. Norma
Jane Bogle likes Rebecca of Sun-
nyhrook Farm. Jeanette Williford
likes Louisa May Alcott’s Little
Women; Betty Anderson, Daddy
Longlegs, just because it’s good.
Miss Caughman likes to read poe
try, because it takes her mind off
math. Mrs. Harris likes historical
novels in general, and Betty Mc
Adams likes My Theodosia.
Workshops in audio-visual aids,
music, and art have recently been
organized for the in-service train
ing of the teachers in the city
school system.
This plan was presented by the
Professional Services committee of
the local unit of the North Caro
lina Educational association in co
operation with the city school ad
ministration. This committee sub
mitted a questionnaire to the teach
ers of the city schools. From the
results of this survey it was deter
mined that there would be three
workshops—audio-visual aids, mu
sic, and art.
This in-service training of the
teachers will keep them from hav
ing to take summer school courses.
The music workshop will have
Miss Mary Stinson as chairman;
Mr. R. C. Hatley is chairman of
the audio-visual workshop, and
Miss Louise Patterson is chairman
of the art workshop.
In the music workshop music ap
preciation and work to be taught
to children will be studied.
Demonstrations in the use of
auditory and visual aids will be
given in the visual aids workshop.
The teachers will be taught how to
use the machines and what mate
rials are available.
