Mixed-Up Chorus
Tmns Down Bid
From Hollywood
A talent scout from the Ruin
Her Brothers studio in Hollywood
recently made a visit to AHS to
hear the famous mixed-up chorus,
under the direction of Monsieur
Pauliansio Frycisco, a French
prison escapee from the Presby
terian Hospital at Sing Sing. Al
though he came while the chorus
was rehearsing for their coming
concert to be held at Carnegie
Hall, he said it was the best sing
ing he has ever heard. The only
flaw in the singing was that the
chorus ended up sharp, as usual.
The scout was very pleased with
the concert program which is as
follows:
My Bucket’s Got a Hole in It
Mixed Chorus — Solo “Da-Bud”
Lowder
Mama Won’t Let Me Go Fish
ing With You — Jo Fox
Don’t Roll Those Blood-Shot
Eyes at Me — Mixed Chorus —
Solo — Henry Forrest
Have I Told You Lately That
I Love You? — Mixed Chorus

ed Chorus—Solo — Bob Young
blood.
Papa, Don’t Preach to Me —
Sara Skidmore — Dedicated to
Harry Pawlik
I Won’t Go Hunting, Jake, But
I’ll Go Chasing Women — Joe
McAnulty
Sugar Foot Rag—Mixed chorus
Solo — Ann Dry
Dental Snuff Commercial —
Larry Lowder
After hearing these fine, edu
cational numbers sung, Mr.
Ploopy Hoppy got on his head in
front of Mr. Frycisca begging him
to sign a contract and bring his
singing artist to Hollywood to
make a picture entitled, “Singing
Helps Nervous Wrecks”. The offer
was refused since all students
have jobs, which they could not
leave, in the chorus line at Badin
Lake.
It has been announced by Mr.
McFadyen that the school is in
stalling two full size gas tanks
for the use of all students who
bring cars to school. They will
contain high test gas, and will be
offered to students free of cost.

Tommy Sibley has recently re
ceived a four year scholarship to
lead those “Duke Blue Devils” on
the gridiron, as the greatest tail
back since “Choo Choo” Justice.

As the best thing in liars, John
ny Boyette has been entered in the
nation-wide liars contest. He has
won first prize in A. H. S. and
from there will go to Tall Tale,
Texas, to compete with some of
the best liars in the nation.
Laughter Running
As Candidate For
N.C.P.A. President
Gene Laughter, prominent polit
ical scientist and artist of A. H. S.,
has thrown his hat into the ring
as a candidate for president of the
North Carolina physics associa
tion.
The “Rat Cellar”, campaign
headquarters for this progressive
inventor of loafing methods, is
centrally located in the heart of
the Oasis in the Sahara of the
South, Chapel Hill. His campaign
managers, R. C. Hatley and “Cat
Morton”, are working night and
day in co-operation with the N.
C.’s giant political machine head
ed by Dwight Cranford, Roy Holt,
Johnny Knight, Hary Pawlik, and
John Helms. These masterminds,
all of whom have college educa
tions, are plotting every conceiv
able trick to get this liberal young
man into office.
The Eat Cellar was really buz
zing when the people’s choice
stopped off there while on his way
to Duke University. Mr. Laughter
visited Duke to learn all the new
techniques that were offered by
the engineering school in the way
ofscientific progress. The shrewd
politician wasted no time during
this barn-storming trip. Seated in
the rear of Mr. Pawlik’s convert
ible, candidate Laughter spoke to
vast audiences who thronged
about the car. He was forced to
remove his large, blue hat with
red feathers a number of times to
show his gratitude to the smiling,
gawking, applauding jiggs who
seemed to support him 100 per
cent.
Laughter advocates: “If I am
elected, friends, I will raise you up
from poverty by telling you all of
my loafing devices, which will be
bound to make you as rich and
happy as I am”.
All members of A. H. S. are
strongly, if not forcefully, urged
to cast their vote for the faculty’s
and R. C. Hatley’s choice—Gene
Laughter.
Graduation Plans
Are Announced
Big plans have been lined up for
the 1950 commencement program
at A. H. S. The guest speaker
is to be the honorable Harry S.
Truman, president of the U. S.
Mrs. Truman and her daughter,
Margaret, have consented to ac
company Mr. Truman on his
trip. Seniors will have the pleas
ure of hearing Miss Truman’s
melow voice in two delightful
arias taken from the hit product
ion, “Kiss Me Kate.” The two
numbers Miss Truman will sing
are: “Chattanooga Shoe Shine
Boy” and “Ragg Mopp”.
Unless an emergency demands
a change, seniors will, for the
first time in the school auditori
um, witness a boxing match be
tween “Ham” Morton and "Coun
try” Farmer. Enthusiasm will ac
company this match as everyone
is eager to know who the “best
man” will be.
Last but not least, the commen
cement program will feature an
interesting four hour round table
discussion. The “Slimy Seventeen”
will have as their subject for dis
cussion, “The importance of Form
ing Good Habits”.
No senior can afford to miss
this enlightening night of enter
tainment, (unless he has some
thing else to do) so don those
caps and gowns and be on the
stage nej^ Sunday night not later
than 8 a. m. and not earlier than
10 p. m.
Physics Students
Go To Oak Ridge
Mr. R. C. Hatley, decided to
take his physics class to the Atom
ic Energy plant at Oak Ridge,
Tennessee.
Mr. Hatley’s class consists of
Roy Holt, Johnny Helms, Cran
ford Hathcock, Dwight Cranford,
Harry Pawlik, Gene Laughter,
Bill Grigg, Elbert Holt, Martha
Moore, Johnny Knight, and Jack
Morton.
At Oak Ridge the boys enjoyed
some rides in Atomic cars and
airplanes. Later on they v^dtness-
ed a rocket taking off to the
moon, and an atomic explosion,
which blew a whole mountain
several hundred feet high.
When time came to leave, each
boy was given an atomic flash
light and an atom splitting ray
gun as souvenirs. Atomic air
planes, which had quite a time
landning on the Albemarle air
port, brought the boys home in
less than two minutes after the
take-off.
“This trip”, commented Mr.
Hatley, “has strengthened my de
sire to build an atomic radio.
With the proceeds I shall travel
over the world teaching my be
loved physics”.
