Council Corner
A new addition to the student
store will be built before the end
of next month. Mr. Morris has
agreed to build the new section
to hold the juke box, which will
be moved down on to the floor of
the lounge, and surplus stock
from the student store.
Unbecoming conduct will not
be allowed in the lounge from
now on. A poster containing de
tails will be posted on the student
store.
Authority to go ahead with the
decoration of the student lounge
has been given to Lydia Hall and
Mr. Pendergraft. Murals and
prints of prominent high school
students will be painted on the
Walls.
FINANCIAL REPORT
Because of the concession on
the football field, it would be
impossible to take a full inven
tory of the student store, but
We do have invoices of everything
that has been bought.
Including ping pong paddles,
nets, balls, one stapler, ice, and
the deposit on bottles which will
be brought back, the total in
voice is $421.31.
With 93 cents in the bank at
the beginning of the year, we
now have a total of $508.02. Aft
er all bills are paid there will
be a balance of $86.71 in the bank
with over $100 of stock in the
store. This inventory was taken
on September 14, 1953.

Beaver Chips
by Georgia Beaver
As the clock struck one, the
stamping of little feet was heard
as twelve girls paraded through
the dark and crowded hall. “Sh!
That’s dad’s rooni. For Pete’s
sake don’t wake him.”
I hardly got it said when—
CRASH! BANG! OUCH! “Turn on
the light, quick; I stumbled over
a chair.”
After all the pieces were once
aeain gathered, the crowd was
off to the kitchen. “10-11-12,
phew, we’re all here. Now for
the food! Ellen, see what you
can find in the refrigerator; Ann,
open the drinks; and Pigmy, look
in the pantry and get that jar
of dill pickles.”
As Pigmy opened the door, a
small creature plunged into the
room. A-A-A-H-H-H-H, a mouse!
As this statement reached each
lame brain, a wild scramble was
made for the one and only chair.
Pigmy quickly leaped into the
cind was almost \vashed
down the drain; Sylvia was half
way in the stove, and Bobby had
one toe hanging out of the cup
board. After the creature had
caused the twelve girls to do all
the destruction a locomotive
could, he crept out (more fright
ened than the girls, I expect).
Everyone, settled down and
stuffed themselves to the brim.
Now came the time for the round
table of gossip. During our long
conversation, however, our dear
Send, Sylvia had hit the hay
and was sound asleep. Can you
brieve Sylvia would sleep while
thTJossiP was on? Shame on
Sylvia. It was just five o’cl^ock,
and after all she didn’t have
to go to work until nine. Plans
were made to wake the POor ole
wnrkine gal up. Yes, that s
right' We all leaped on her,
pulled her hair and did every^
thing but strangle her. The
rooni was now filled with laugh
ter and noise! It took several
pass for Pigmy, Sylvia, Dixie,
Ind Emily, to quiet the room
down to normal tone.
That was all poor ole Mom
fflkG She C3.rn^ ftnd
ordered, “Please be quiet. Your
poof ole Dad has to work to
morrow.”
So we decided to turn the lights
off and let the sandman doJiis
duty. Every once in a while a
tissle would be heard or the re
mark “Get your cold feet off of
mp ” * Yet very seldom was heard
Se sound of a feminine snore.
FVerv leaf that dropped was a
footstep or a prowler; every song
nf the cricket was -someone
whispering; and every shadow
In enormous, dangerous
Wnwpver even with these
many found their
XC dJeamlanTwhile others
clung to each other in fright.
wnw nrecious would you ever
think that sleep could ever be.
Just spend one grusome night
like we;
We guarantee you’ll see.

WHO'S WHO
MARGARET BRUNSON
“She smiles and the whole
world smiles with her.” Yes, it’s
Margaret Brunson, a laughing,
talking, and friendly senior, who
is usually seen during this season
on the football field, boosting the
team on as no one else can. After
four years of cheerleading, Mar
garet has become the ringmaster
of the eight.
“Mirror, mirror on the wall,
who is the most deserving of them
all?” Margaret was proved to be
the most deserving and the cutest
as she was crowned “Homecom
ing Queen” last year. Popular
Margaret has been a football
sponsor for five years now.
Margaret’s interest doesn’t lie
only in sports but also in dra
matics. I'm sure you remember
her as “Mimi” in Jerry of Jericho
Road, and who could ever for
get her in that hilarious role of
“Patsy” in the junior class play,
Oh, Promise Me? Such parts as
these make up one of the qual
ities that makes Margaret such
an ideal person to be president of
the Black Masque this year.
The Mixed Chorus and Girls’
Ensemble couldn’t get along
without Margaret's contribution
to the alto section. She was re
cently asked to join the Modern
Music Masters society because of
her great achievements and con
tributions to music.
Just set Margaret down, any
time, to a dinner consisting of
fried chicken and a salad and
watch that grin appear. How
ever, I don’t believe you’ll see
her chase any food away, even
squash! Ugh! Whenever Mar
garet isn't at Harmanco's or play
ing bridge, you will probably find
her swooning over Charlton Hes
ton, her ideal man, or reading
about Susan Hayward. Speaking
of her ideals, her favorite person
must be sincere, kind, under
standing, friendly, and must not
like snakes.
Next year we will find Mar
garet on the campus of Salem
college, where she will spread
her love, friendship and kind
ness even further. Three RAHS
for Margaret!

RICHARD JORDAN
“Who’s the new boy from
Thomasville?” was a familiar
question last year, but it didn’t
take long for everyone to find
out. Before long Richard Jordan
became one of the most popular
boys around A.H.S. His class
soon became aware of his fine
qualities and elected him Chief
Marshal.
It wasn’t long, however, be
fore the entire school realized
Richard was a hard working, de
pendable boy. They therefore
elected him president of the stu
dent body. Treasurer of the State
Student Council Congress and
chairman of Fifth District Stu
dent Councils are two more hon
ors held by this deserving sen
ior. He’s also the fellow you
hear making the announcements
on the sound system every day.
Now do you understand why you
see him rushing up and down
the halls so much?
Richard has contributed much
of his athletic ability to A.H.S.
since moving to Albemarle. He is
outstanding in football, basket
ball, and baseball. The man
playing end on the football team
that you see scoring so many
touchdowns is none other than
Richard. You can expect him to
star in basketball and baseball
later in the season.
When a picture stars James
Stuart and June Allyson, you can
be sure Richard will be on the
front row; and when steak and
strawberry shortcake are on the
menu, he’s a mighty satisfied
fellow. Richard seems to have a
certain interest at W. C. this year.
Could it be a cute looking fresh
man that he’s interested in? How
happy Richard would be if there
were no such thing as an alarm
clock! If there’s anything he
hates, it's to get up in the morn
ing.
Either Davidson or the Citadel
will be the lucky college to claim
Richard next year, but wherever
he goes, everyone knows Richard
will be a leader of his class. How
could he help but be with his
friendly smile and winning per
sonality!
Masters Sponsor
Second Big Dance
The Music Masters sponsored a
dance after the game with Kan
napolis on Friday night.
Students from both Albemarle
and Kannapolis turned out well
for the dance.
Mr. Hatley, one of the advisors
for the club, said that the dance
was a success and put the Music
Masters in a better financial con
dition.
The chaperones were Miss
Bankett, Mr. Fry, and Mr. Spen
cer Hatley. As usual, Mrs. Lyke
was in charge of the store.
