Pat Boone, Pattie Paige Tops In A.H.S.
Pat Boone and Patty Paige are
the number one singers around
A.H.S., according to a poll taken
of students last week. The fa
vorites of the group singers are
the Hilltoppers. “Love is a Many-
Splendored Thing” is the favorite
song by an overwhelming ma-
^ It was a close race between
the female singer and the group
artists. J. P. Morgan was behind
Miss Paige by a vote of 45 to 50.
The Ames Brothers were out in
front of the Clovers by a vote of
31 to 30. Pat Boone had a wide
margin over Frankie Laine by a
vo% 0l 58 to 20. "Only You”
was second with 32 votes, and
“Ain’t That a Shame” occupied
the third place position by a
'^°The boys and girls of the ninth
and twelfth grades seem to like
different artists and songs where
as the tenth and eleventh grades
pretty well like the same thing.
Here’s what the students like:
In the freshman class, the girls
gave most of their votes to Pat
Boone and the boys favored
Frankie Laine. They also had
different opinions about the group
singers too. The girls ^®rit for
the Ames Brothers, and The H^Jl"
toDpers got the boys’ votes. The
songs were a different story. The
girls differed among themselves.
The votes were about even for
“Seventeen” and “Only You.”
They also liked ‘Wake the Town
and Tell the People” and “Ain’t
That a Shame.’’ All the boys
liked “Love Is a Many-Splendor-
ed Thing.”
In the sophomore class, the
whole thing was a different story.
The only thing they differed on
was that the girls liked Pat
Boone and the boys threw in with
Frankie Laine. The class as a
whole went about the same for
J. P. Morgan and Patty Paige,
the Ames Brothers, and the Hill
toppers, “Love is a Many-Splen-
dored Thing” and “Ain’t That a
Shame,” according to the ballots.
Most of Patty’s votes came from
the girls.
In the junior cflass, it was the
same as in the sophomore class.
The girls picked Pat Boone and
the boys preferred Nat King Cole
and Frankie Laine. The unusual
thing was that Nat King Cole
came in second place on a write-
in vote. The class as a whole
voted for J. P. Morgan and Patty
Paige, The Hilltoppers and The
Ames Brothers. \^en the songs
were concerned, both boys and
girls liked “Only You,” “Moments
to Remember,” and “Ain’t That a
Shame.” The boys especially
like “Love Is a Many-Splendored
Thing.”
The senior class tells another
story. The only thing the sen
iors agreed on was Pat Boone,
J. P. Morgan, and “Love Is a
Many-Splendored Thing.” The
boys also liked Patty Paige. “Au
tumn Leaves” and “Moments to
Remember” were among the
songs picked by the senior girls,
vi^hile the boys went for “Only
You.” The ballots also showed
proof that, both the boys and
girls like “Wake the Town and
Tell the People.”
Varied Programs

During October, the program
committee, under the direction of
Mrs, Saunders, gave three assem
