Your Happiness at this season will make ours complete. Accept our best wishes for this joyous season — and a prayer that the days of the New Year will bring us all health, happiness, and peace. Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous New Year THE STAFF THE EDITOR THE ADVISOR A Lettei FROM Santa Dear Students ot A.S.H.S.; Christmas Day is drawing near, and I am making a list of the things that I want you to give me for Christmas. The list is small, but it involves a great deal of thought. This year I want you to lend me your eyes and ears for my Christmas route. I want you to see and hear the things that my eyes and ears do. Your eyes see many things, but they are not equipped so that they might “see through a person,” and understand them. If they were with me on my route, they would be aware of astonishing sights ... A small child who had no Christmas, a starving family, or the cold wind that crept silently into the shack of a widowed mother holding her small infant close to her. On the other hand, they would see a child who had a Christmas filled with love and toys, a fam ily bowed in reverence before a table of fine food and wine, or a mother in one of the finer homes of today, holding her small in fant close to her. Yes, your eyes would see many things. Your ears have not heard the things which mine have ... an orphan child asking “Santa Claus” to bring him a father and a mother for Christmas. A carol sung by a handicapped man to earn a few pennies so that his children might have a Christmas —or an invalid woman talking to herself and wishing with all her heart that someone might care and give her just a small Christmas gift—nothing of mone tary value, but something given with love. The story of Christmas is known to all of you. You hear it every Christmas. You sing the carols, you buy gifts, and you receive them. Every Christmas is like the rest, you say. Is it because you make it that way? Do you close your eyes and ears to the things that “don’t concern you?” Can you close your heart? Christmas means different things to different people, and believe that you, the students of A.S.H.S., are the messengers have been looking for. Don't let me down, students. I have a faith that tells me that you will lend me your eyes and ears for Christ mas — a faith that tells me that from henceforth you will see and hear the “darker side of Christ mas,” and brighten it with your love and understanding. Thank you for your Christmas presents to me, students, and may I say, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!” —SANTA CLAUS. Resolutions—Better You Are you going to make. New Year’s resolutions this year? If not, you should. Not only will they give you something to work toward, but if carried out, they will give you a sense of self-satisfaction. Many people when asked if they are going to make a New Year's resolution reply, “No, I don’t know what to make one about.” If you are one of those people who are always talking about someone else, why not make a resolution to say only nice things about others? Or maybe your grades are declining from lack ojf study. A resolution to cut down on your night life during the week would solve that problem. Some people say they would like to m^e a New Year’s reso lution, but they know they won’t stick with it, so what’s the use? If you really make up your mind to do something, you can follow through with it. Perhaps you won’t be able to go a whole year observing your resolutions, but you can still benefit from them. Since the new year is just around the corner, take note of your faults and make a resolu tion to improve yourself. Then the new year can oring forth a new and better you.

Teacher Of The Month MB. FRY “Music, music, music!” is a theme which well describes the work and interest of Mr. Paul Fry, the teacher featured this month.

He is a national director of Modem Music Mas ters and last fall was guest con ductor of a choral clinic at the University of Alabama. His spare time? When he is not working with musicians he can be found in his yard work- ng with his. roses and other flowers.

CAMPUS CHATTER Hi Students! After another month of snooping around, we’re here to let you in on the very latest gossip. Just “give a listen.” Well, Mr. Nye just.got hitched . . . Congratulations to him from all of us. The lucky lady he married is a sweet, adorable blond. Again we say, congratulations to Mr. and Mrs, Ken Nye. We are also very proud of a certain young lady, whose initials are Edith Smith. A very great honor has recently been bestowed upon her. She has been asked to attend the Gov ernor’s Inaugural Ball and has accepted with pleasure. We hear she really has big plans and is looking ^forward to a grand time with her escort, Jerry Lowder. Lane Lowder had a little “get together” over at his house not so long ago. By the way, why did you make everyone leave so early, hostess Pam and host Lane? Was the show that good? Why does Pat Lawhon like to take those little trips to Win gate College? Could it be because of a certain boy named Parks? (from Concord, we hear) Who's that little “bird” that is always flying around? Jerry Smith . . . they all call him “Happy-Go-Lucky” Smith. Now football season’s over and basketball is underway! “Best” we all support our teams and show what kind of school spirit we really have. Thanks to Mr. Tom Maultsby, we have a new form of rec reation in town, bowling! Quite a few students find the sport very interesting. Some of the people often seen at Dogwood Lanes are Gary Morton, Nelson Smith, Lloyd Crisco, “Bo” Burris, Jerry Tucker, and Steve Surratt. But it's not just the boys! We heard that Jo Lynn Pickier, Cathy Freeman, Nancy Aldridge and Mary Hill Hatley are a few of the girls that are about to be come professional bowlers. Everyone was thrilled to see many of the college students home for the Thanksgiving holidays, especially Jimmy Stone- , street and Charles Brown, who were the hosts of a great party- Seen having a good time were Suzanne Swindell and Steve Sur ratt, Pam Treece and Bill Burbage, Margaret Ann Casper and Ronnie Herrin, Louise Furr and Charles Brown, Sara Talbert, Karen Herndon, Edith Smith, Jerry Smith and just everybody— including scads of our college friends (Chip Cain, Jerry Lowder, Bemie Miller and Diane Watkins, Susan Cashwell, Jimmy Mor ris, etc.) By the way, congratulations are in order to many of our lovely ladies from ASHS”. It seems that a number of them graced floats in the Albemarle '60 Christmas Parade. A few were Lydia Hearne, Nancy Rogers, Ricky Furr, Nancy Langley, Judy Harris, Inger Blomfelt, Edee Smith, Margarpt Ann Casper, Karen Herndon, Brenda Smith, Nancy Smith, Louise Furr and Ann Bell- Anybody for a party? Paula Feldman threw a nice one down at her cabin at the river when she was home over Thanks giving. Everyone—and we mean everyone—had a ball. It seems that “I Could Have Danced All Night” was Jerry Smith’s theme song. Whatcha say, Jerry?? This is a problem we’re all trying to figure out: why do all the Sophomore boys wink at the Senior girls and all the Senior boys wink at the underclassmen? Incidentally, while we are speaking of Sophomores, thanks for a wonderful Christmas Dance. We, as Seniors, will remem ber it vividly as our last one. Since we are about to run out of room, maybe we had better make a few Christmas wishes to youi We’ll be signing off, but Merry (i!hristmas. Happy New Year—and may Santa bring you everything you want. Remember! we hear all, we see all, and above all, we tell all. —Sneak and Peak
