Pvt. J. Frank Shields Arraigned
In Court On... Driving Count
Neill Makes Arrest; Boy
Patrols Now Lacking
A Good Man
Private J. Frank Shields, 27,
was arraigned in a local court
today on charges of exceeding the
speed limit while biking on the
playground of Elm Street School.
Officer Bob Neill made the ar
rest and immediately brought
Shields to the courthouse this
morning. May 3, at 7:00. Shields
told the desk sergeant, Don Mar
tin, that he failed to see Neill
approaching, otherwise he would
have slowed down to 6 m. p. h.
the playground’s speed limit.
Shields is a prominent member
«f the Boy Patrol of this city.
Officer Neill testified that Shields
made friends easily and was very
nice about his arrest.
The past record of the defendant
proved satisfactory, except for a
few charges brought against him
last year. On February 30, 1948,
Shields, a local yokel, was arrestea
for racing his ’36 Packard in the
company of a certain D. P. Whit
ley, also of this city. Both paid
one-sixth court costs and were
made to serve two years at hard
labor at a workhouse located on
Jones Street. The defendant was
also convicted of teaching play
mates to drive with their emer
gency brakes on — then, rpcom-
mending repairs at Shields-Hend-
rick’s Garage.
Court has adjourned until Jan-
uai-y 32, pending further investi
gation of the case of Private
J. Frank Shields.
Rohde Appointed;
UNC New Home
Henry T. (T. for Theorem)
Rohde, former math teacher at
senior high. will soon assume an
educational position at Chapel
Hill, N. C., as president of the
University of North Carolina,
replacing Dr. Frank P. Graham-
cracker, who recently assumed
duties as N. C. senator.
Mr. Rohde’s early training con
sisted of a twelve year public
school education, which came to
a conclusion after a fateful de
cision not to enroll again in the
fourth grade. He next tried a cor
respondence course, but again
failed in this effort, as he often
played hookey by sending back
empty envelopes. At length, he
graduated from State Penn-er—I
mean Penn State. Here he took
medicine for four years and finally
got well.
A “Come ’n’ Sit” tea will be
held in Rohde’s honor on April
10 at 11:00 a.m. Dainty refresh
ments will be served at that time
by Richard Thompson, Royster
Tucker, and Thomas C. Bulla.

STUDENT COUNCIL
(Continued From Page 1)
the comfort of the student body
was the plan worked out by the
Deficiency Committee for the
shortening of the now long and
tedious school day. This plan,
which was approv^ and praised
by authorities as well as students,
would have the beginning of school
set at 11:00 o’clock a.m., followed
by a 60 minute lunch period,
(allowing a five-minute change of
classes) and would adjourn at
12:00 o'clock noon, not to return
for another day.
Two other suggestions still un
der debate are the installation of
individual radios in all desks,
and the running of Deep River
through the athletic field, so as
to be more convenient for swim-

Horton Skips With
Red Cross Funds
Mrs. Lidie Horton, high school
home economics teacher, tried to
pull a fast one and was foiled
in the act. Read on. . . .
Mrs. Horton is being formally
held today on charges of embez
zlement of Red Cross funds col
lected by her at the high school.
She was apprehended by (Sheriff
Snipes last night as she attempted
to make her getaway through a
window of the Home Economics
Department. She might have es
caped had she not spilled the |160
in nickels and dimes while climb
ing out the window.
After several hours of question
ing by detectives, Mrs. Horton
finally confessed to the unforgiv
able deed and told police, “I took
the money (sniff) because I
needed nickels and dimes for my
coin collection.”
Local Students
Find Meat In
Baldy Stewart’s
Hamburger
W. G. (Baldy) Stewart, “The
Bald Bandit”, who is the proprie
tor of Stewart’s Snack Shack,
was taken into custody today after
being reported to the Federal Bu
reau of Standards for the under
handed insertion of meat into a
hamburger of his construction.
A group of local students, who
chose to remain anonymous, upon
discovering the meatbali last
night, were rushed to the hospital
suffering from severe shock.
The only statement obtainable
from Stewart about the incident
was “Don’t bite off what you don’t
expect to chew.” But Jake Steele
out at Jake’s Diner was quick to
retort, “Ha! I figgered he’d pull
a stunt like that. Reckon if I tried
it, I’d get this much publicity?”
Younts, Hopkins, Sizer
Caught In Crap Game
Boss “Tweedy” Younts, (leader
of the famous Tweed Ring), Bob
by Hopkins, and Mary Sizer were
apprehended late sixth period
yesterday while indulging in a
small game of chance— better
known as crap.
Prof. Ignatius Heniford, who
happened not to be asleep, heard
outside his window this famous
quotation issuing from the lips
of one of the trio, “Roll ’em
snake eyes: daddy’s gott’a have
some new shoes,” which led to the
apprehension of the three.
After much controversy among
student council members in whose
hands the matter lies, it was de
cided that a lynching rather than
a beheading ceremony, would be
appropriate.

Butterhall Drinks Up; Wins
Pepsi-Cola Scholarship
Teachers Find Pay
Increase Annoying
After considerable deliberation.
Governor Cur Scott announced
yesterday that all teachers west
and northwest of the Yadkin Mud
flats are in for another increase
in pay, based on their 1942 with
holding tax receipts. This is the
fifth such boost this year.
As a result, a delegation led by
Miss L. Hunter landed in the
state capital last month bearing
a petition signed by 611 teachers.
After wading through a lot of
crap about “the first person of
the second party, etc.” they all
found out that it boiled down to
the fact that the teachers are in
desperate need of the state’s aid
in helping them spend their wages.
One plea which carried consid
erable weight, was entered by
delegate “Louse” Hatch to the
effect that their heavy paychecks
only made a burden at Income
tax time; and, besides, since most
are unmarried, they really don’t
need that much money anyway.

BULLETIN: All Senior boys
are requested to grow beards in
preparation for the day of rec
koning—Senior Day. If you have
to start a month ahead, start now!
Be distinguished from underclass
men! (Note: all underclassmen
found with beards on Senior Day
will be cut three ways: widely,
deeply, and frequently.)
Your girl friends may be tick
lish about this, but beards tickle
anyhow, so start growing your
beard now!
“It Was A Hard Fight,
Mom, But I Won,”
Says Butter
Jack Petty, better known as
“Butterball,” has been chosen win
ner of the Pepsi-Cola scholarship,
which is awarded to the person
who drank the most “7-Ups” in
a contest held next week during
all senior English classes.
Butterball, an up and coming
member of the freshman class,
competed against other capable
“7-Up drinkers”; including Nos
Alman, Buddy Nance, Albert Saw
yer, and Jimmy Johnson. During
the first two or three hours Mr.
Nance was one bottle ahead of
Mr. Petty, but in the last thirteen
minutes of the contest, Mr. Petty
consumed four and one-sixteenth
bottles more than his opponent.
The contest furnished a most
amusing picture for those watch
ing. The cheerleaders on the side
lines singing “Pepsi-Cola hits the
spot,” and the band in the back
ground playing the “Blue Danube”,
gave the contest a delightful
atmosphere.
Mr. Jack Petty was presented
a box of straws as a symbol of
h i s fortitude and admirable
strength. As he stepped up on
the boat to receive his prize, his
last words were: “From now on
Pepsi-Cola will be my favorite
beverage.”
