JOHNNY BOYETT LOWELL LOWDER
InyestigatoiWebb Uncovers
Ex-Football Players' TheH
In a recent check-up at A.H.S.
several important crimes were
uncovered, according to H. T.
Webb, special investigator for
N.C.E.A.
The surprising fact that these
major offenses were committed
by well known members of
A.H.S’s varsity football team,
which was undefeated and un
tied for three seasons, shocked
the faculty and students beyond
words.
Webb"s investigation disclos
ed the removal of some valuable
equipment from the science de
partment. These major offenses
were finally pinned on “Butch”
Boyett and “Muscles” Lowder.
The shrewd, hardened criminals
used great ingenuity in smug
gling this expensive apparatus
out of the lab without Prof. Hat
ley's knowing it. Mr. Hatley
couldn’t explain how it hap
pened.
He said, “I have good eyes and
a working brain, but I guess these
thugs learned some new tech
niques when they received their
college diplomas.”
These fugitives had removed
the model steam engine, distilla
tion apparatus (for whiskey pur
poses), venir caliper, and the new
$1,000 oscilloscope that the
science instructor had just re
ceived from the Duke school of
engineering.
Prof. Hatley expressed his deep
gratitude to agent Webb for dis
covering these thefts. Hatley’s
plea was: “I hope these fugi
tives are apprehended so my
equipment can be returned. I
never use the junk, but I like to
see it sitting on the shelf. When
people see these expensive ma
chines they think I’m giving their
children an education compar
able to that of a college. This
keeps them thinking that my
classes do anything but loaf.”

Campus
The “Lilly Whiters” entertain
ed last Friday night at a cock
tail part in the fabulous dec
orated ballroom of A.H.S.
Gaynelle Chandler, Jean and
Jane Bullock, Martha Moore, and
Carolyn Akers started the gala
affair with a bubble dance un
der the direction of “Sling Shot”
Almond.
After the presentation the six-
hundred couples present enjoy
ed round dancing and “guzzling”
beer. (Milk was served to those
delicate seniors who couldn’t
stomach the “stuff”.)
Bill Grigg and “Lib” Elder were
there together, of course; and
Jane “Fat” Smith came toddling
in with Frank Efird, (we predict
that they’ve started a “case”.)
Ginger Helms’, and Frank Bur
rell’s peroxided red hair shone as
they danced cheek-to-cheek un
der the chandelier donated to the
school by the “Stanly Steamers”.
(These guys have certainly made
the money by touring the coun
try winning basketball games!)
Roy Holt, wearing his dunce
cap, told jokes at intermission;
but nobody c£fught on except Miss
Lentz because they were all in
French. (Thank goodness Sally
Kluttz didn’t!)
. The “Melody Makers,” a na
tionally advertised band, played
for the event; and the proceeds
will go to the Lucky Strike cig
arette company who will furnish
everyone at A.H.S. — that is, ex
cept the “Lilly Whiters” who
have a strict rule against smok
ing — with two packs of cigaret
tes a day.
Everyone be sure to attend the
stock car races which will be
held on East Main street next
Saturday nite at seven o’clock.
Chief Cain will decide upon the
winner. Anyone wanting to en
ter see “Cob” Griffin.
