Business Manager Victor Dry Assistant Business Manager Dan Sibley Circulation Manager Mary Foreman Adviser Mrs. Paul B. Fry Just Thanks Yes, four wonderful years have come and gone. The memories that we have acquired, the friendships that we have made will always be with us. We seniors have come a long way since pig tails, knickers, and a different girlfriend every week. Now, it’s Tonis, pegged pants, and a different girlfriend twic^ a week. The various members of the senior class have received rhany honors during the year and in past years; at Awards Day they were constantly in the spotlight. However, there is one group of people who do not receive due recognition, who do hot win awards at Awards Day, who do not stand before the entire student body amid thunderous applause for some outstanding work. As each class graduates and passes on into the “outside world,” the teachers seemingly have only the remembrance of those who have graduated, of the many wonderful experiences had with them, and of the fact that their work will begin once again in the fall in trying successfully to educate a new “batch”. However, there is another memory that will stay with them even longer—for a life time. Perhaps we have given you the mis conception that these teachers, who, whether you realize it or not, are very much concerned in you and your future, receive no re ward. Certainly there is no material reward, but one much greater. They have the satisfaction of knowing that, through their efforts, we seniors are leaving high school much better prepared for life than when we entered. Through the years they have come to love all of us even when, in rare cases, this affection has not been re turned. They struggled to teach us, though at times we did not show our greatest interest. As you leave this year, be doubly sure that you do not forget to express your appreciation personally to your best friends, your teachers. To You We Bow During this past year there have been many^ persons, groups, and organizations that have done exceptionally fine work. Some of these have received acknowledgment and praise, but others have not. This editorial is designed to call your attention to some outstanding examples of achievement. To Mr. R. C. Hatley, Mrs. Lyke, and Mrs. Saunders, and their students we take off our hats for a most successful Science Fair. To Ann Ivey and Otty Lynn we extend our heartiest congrats and our wholehearted endorsement of their being selected Valedic torian and Salutatorian, respectively. To Larry Hartsell, the recipient of the Civitan’s Good Citizen award, we give our congratulations and hopes that he will con tinue his fine work. As one walks around school, he couldn’t help noticing and ap preciating the fine work being done by the Student Council Clean up Committee. This is no surprise, for the Council has accom plished many fine things during the past year. To Phyllis Greer, Dickie Cashwell, Pat Allan, and Sandra West- erlund, the AHS debaters, go our appreciation for their hard work and our expression of faith that they will surely go far in this world of public speaking. John D. Moose and Charles James are soon to venture to the Boys’ State. With you goes our hope that you will benefit greatly from your trip, and our satisfaction that you will represent AHS and Stanly County in fine style. To Sherrill Aldridge, who always has two words to say, goes our thanks for his splendid work in taking care of the stage ar rangements. Truly one of the great men of tomorrow is Dwayne Lowder, three times first place winner of the N. C. Science Academy award. Bill Beeker was presented the World Peace Award for winning the speaking contest sponsored by the V.F.W.; also Bill won second place in the American Legion Oratorical contest. Congratulations, Bill. The W.O.W. U.S. History award, which is presented each year to some outstanding junior student in history, was presented to Dickie Cashwell. Congrats! We who find it hard to come to school most of the time tip our hats to Nellie Pickier Tucker, who has found it difficult and even impossible to miss school since the third grade. We marvel at you! The D.A.R. Good Citizen award went to a most deserving per son, Phyllis Ann Greer. Frances Litaker and Bobby Peck will attend the Civitan Youth Conference at Wildacres this summer. Congratulations. Doris Hinson and Richard Jordan, receivers of the Babe Ruth Sportsmanship award. We express our approval of this choice. Best Athletes—Evelyn Kimery and Otty Lynn—^we certainly think so. Hats off to you members of the Chorus and Band who received scholarships to the summer music camps. You deserve it. To Dixie Schadt, the A1 Capp of AHS, we give our blessing, as outstanding Art student. Who’s the best actor? It’s Margaret Brunson, recipient of the Dramatics award. To Jo Ellen Brooks, Janice Westerlund, and Mary E. Griffin go our congratulations for being winners of the T.B. Essay contest. And to everybody at AHS, the faculty, the students, and the office and maintenance personnel, we seniors express our thanks for putting up with us for these four wonderful years. We hope that you will always remember us as being your friends. The Bookshelf By DONALD DORTON With the close of the -school year you are, no doubt, unconcern ed with reading books. Just think, no. more books to read to make that last minute report. No more rushing to get through with that novel before exams. Yes, summer is here at last with plenty of time for fun and frolic. Listen, juniors, now is the time to be reading some of the many books that will be required next year. Next year the rising junior class will be required . to read books by American authors. You will have to read novels, essays, short stories, poems and maga zine articles. This summer will be an exceptionally good time to do some useful reading. To the rising senior class we would like to say that next year will be a very busy year for you. Time will pass much faster than ever before. There will be so many things to do that you will find it a hard matter to keep up with yourself, as well as have time to read a few novels, plays (Shakespearean), poems and other books. ' The next three months of planned reading would make your senior year a lot smoother. Suggested Reading List For Juniors. Ferber, Edna. So Big.
