April 10, 1952 THE FULL MOON Page 5 SPORTS PAEIADE Jimmy Skidmore Henry Carpenter Once again spring is here and our intramurals have gone outside. This week Coach Webb is trying to organize the volleyball tournament. In this tournament each grade may enter as many teams as they wish. The volleyball games will be played during the dinner hour on the tennis courts. * * * * * With the coming of spring everybody has headed for the old baseball diamond. Some boys who formerly played at A.H.S. and are now playing at colleges are Tom Lilly at Pfeiffer, Kenny Brown at Catawba, and Charles Whitley at Carolina. Two other boys who will probably see action somewhere in the state for a semi-pro club are Joe McAnulty and Harold Hudson. A.H.S. baseball team, defending their championship, defeated Lexington in the opening game of the season. Good luck, boys, and may your success continue throughout the season. # * * * * Spring football practice has started for most colleges and Universities in the state, and we find Albemarle well represented in these drills. Whit Whitley is playing a very good defensive end at Duke, while Ed Patterson is shining at U.N.C. Sidney Helms is drilling at N. C. State and Elbert Holt is playing for the Catawba Indians. . , o , Although spring football practice is not allowed m the South Piedmont Conference, Albemarle High has much to look forward to when fall rolls around. Returning from last year’s undefeated team are Otty Lynn and Ray Smith at ends, David ^Bruton and Jimmy Page at tackles, T-Boe McLendon and Jim Millican at guards, and Bill Huckabee at center. This is quite a line and with a little added weight they should prove quite fatal to such opponents as Asheboro and Lexington. Backfield stars returning for next year are Gene Snuggs, James Gibson, Claude Lawhon, Donnie Smith, Kenneth Smith, and, last but not least, John DavW Moose. With prospects like these and such fine coaches as A.H.S. has, we expect great things for the season of 1952-1953. Fishermen Finding Fun Learning How To Cast —A Alumni News Mary Elder, a former A.H.S. student, has been chosen on the Freshman Advisory Council at Duke. She was appointed by the administration and the old F.A.C. Mary is a delegate* on the puke Chapel board, represent ing East campus. Each year two girls are elected in a poll to serve on the board.

Compliments of H. & L. Groceries and Meats N. 2nd St. : Phone 178 Teachers Found Their Youth Again? “My, Mr. Hatley certainly does look younger today,” someone commented. At a second glance they discovered it wasn’t Mr. Hatley at all behind his desk. It was Leslie Swanner. Meanwhile at West Albemarle a little boy whistl'ed and said, “Wow! You should see my new teacher.” Sorry to get your hopes us, boys, but Paula How ard was only substituting for two days. Also at North Albe marle the pupils got a big thrill out of having Janice Scott and Elizabeth Hagans for teach'ers. The girls at Central paid a lot of attention when Randall Plyler taught their class. It isn’t everyday you get a high school senior for a teachter! ^ All of this took place while some of the teachers were at tending the NCEA meeting in Asheville and AHS seniors were asked to substitute for them. The strange noises coming from Mr. Hatley’s room kept most people away, but from all reports Professor Swanner did a fine job. Othfer reports showed that the substitutes got out alive and that any time anyone wants some good teachers all they have to do is look up Eliza beth Hagans, Janice Scott, Paula Howard, and Randall Plyler. y Giris Team Is Runnez-Up In Tournament The junior girls’ basketball team of the YMCA, coached by Mrs. George Stovall, was runner- up in the Carolines tournament held in Rock Hill, S. S., on March 7 and 8. The girls played a successful game both Friday night and Sat urday morning. On Saturday night they played a game against Canton, N. C. Canton beat the junior girls by ten points. As runner-up, the team was presented a trophy, and each player was- given a silver bas ketball. Four of the twelve girls who went to Rock Hill were listed on the All-Tourney team. Susie Skidmore, forward, and Anita Mauldin and Jean Starr, guards, were on the first teana» Peggie Morris, forward, was placed on second team. Members of the team who traveled to Rock Hill are Pe'ggie Morris, Patty Sue Almond, Susie Skidmore, Betty Jean Lefler, Frances Litaker, Margie Stutts, Anita Mauldin, Jean Starr, Patsy Wilhelm, Laura Doby, Rochelle Ritchie and Sylvia Long. College Freshmen Are Making Good Reports from colleges concern ing the grades made by fresh men from this school during the first term show a total of 16 A’s made by the girls and 12 A’s made by the boys. In addition, the girls made 35 B’s, 33 C’s, 11 D’s, and 4 F’s. The boys have 29 B’s, 31 C’s, 20 D’s, and 17 F’s. Of the 208 grades made by both boys and girls, 13% are A, 31% B, 31% C, 15% D, and 10% E. The A’s were scattered over several fields: botany 1, business 1, English 2, French 2, health 1, math 4, music 2, physical ed 6, shorthand 2, Spanish 1, typing 3, Bible 1, and chemistry 2. The F’s were also scattered: biology 1, history 4, religion 1, Spanish 1, chemistry 2, English 5, French 2, math 4, and science 1. The top six students were three girls and three boys. Martha Knight at Winthrop had the highest average, and following close behind were Don Wagner and Robert Scaggs, both taking an electrical engineering course at N. C. State; Tommy Morris, Mars Hill; Bertie Suggs, Gardner- Webb; and Pattie Stilwell, Pfeif fer. “These are better than aver age grades for college fresh men,” commented J. L. Cashwell principal of the high school, “and we are in hopes that suc ceeding classes will do as well or even better.” Good Citizenship (Continued from Page One) dents to make their job as easy as possible. The clean-up campaign start ed February 15, and on March 14 a vase was given to Miss Bank- ett’s class as first prize for hav ing the cleanest room. Another prize will be given April 11. Each class will be judged on cleanli ness, attractiveness of bulletin boards, neatness of lockers, and the general, overall appearance of the room. The judging is done by the good housekeeping committee, of which Jo Ann Grif fin is chairman. Posters advertising the clean up program were made by El* len Cook, David Morrow, and Kathryn Groves. The idea behind the program is ^to promote more interest in the appearance of the school. The good housekeeping commit tee feels that students, teachers, and visitors can better appreci ate a building that is clean a:nd neat. The clean-up campaign will be continued throughout the re mainder of the school year, and a prize will be given each month. MORE PEOPLE might practice economy if they saved something to practice with. Albemarle Schools Are Represented At N.C.E.A.

Fishing is being taught in A.H.S. physical education classes under the direction of Coaches Webb, Jeffords, and Burgess. In the classrooms the students discuss the kind of fish around this area and the characteristics of these fish. They also discuss the best places to fish. After discussing the fish, they learn the parts of the rod and reel and the fly rod; what you should carry in your tackle box; and the different kinds of plugs and when to use them. When the students have learn ed about the fish and the fishing material, they are taken to the gym for an exhibition of casting by the coaches. After the in structions the students practice casting in the gym or on the athletic field. Srs. Give Blood (Continued from Page One) served refreshments, and were ready to go. There was nothing at all painful. The pain from the needles was not noticeable at all. Those who gave blood were: Doug Knotts, Kenneth Rus sell, V. L. Harwood, Keith Byrd, Leslie Swanner, David Plowman, Bud Griffith, Harold Smith, Emily Milton, Lewis Kluttz, and Ken neth Whitley. The next blood collection will be June 24 and we would like to see the senior class and any others that are 17 years old or over, well represented. of the “Four Qualities School Administrators Should Have”. Mr. Cashwell was supposed to attend the East Carolina alumni banquet but he happened to get his “Green Rooms” mixed up. He seemed to be the only p^son in the green room of the Battery Park hotel. Maybe it was be cause the banquet was being held in the green room of the S & W cafeteria. Don’t feel sorry for yourself, feel sorry for those who share the highway with you.
