I Got Special Privileges!
By FREDDIE SALTER
Hello, everybody! School Daze
greets you oqee again. So let's get
on with the news of ole' AHS. j
First of all we should telj you'
the biggest event. I say the big- 1
gest, at least, it is to the seniors. I
They have gotten their privileges
and here listed are some of them:
1. The seniors eat in the school
cafeteria when the first bell rings.
2. The seniors have one day off
in the spring to go to the banks,
providing they are chaperoned by
at least one senior parent.
3. The seniors are the only ones |
to use the center hall which leads
to the auditorium and ice cream
room.
4. No seniors have to report to
study hall. If they wish to leave |
the school ground, they must get
permission from the principal.
5. Audience will stand and re
main standing when seniors enter ;
the auditorium until seniors are.
seated.
And, of course, everyone knows
ine seniors tune
their exams ear
ly The seniors
are really proud
of their privi
leges, but if one
person violates
any one of them,
the whole sen
ior elass auto
maticalJy loses
its privileges.
Lately, we
Freddie Salter
have been shown two movies, one i
[ about Memorial Day and the other, i
| the United States Navy. Both films >
\ were most interesting, especially .
the Memorial Day one which seem- '
ed to have more story. These j
movies should be of great value to
all of us.
We were most happy to have Mr. |
Fred Lewis of Morehead City sit \
in on our algebra II class Tuesday, i
I hope our dumb streaks didn't |
show too much. We were just get- 1
ting an introduction to the Binomial
Theorem.
to work some of the problems we
found them much less difficult
than we expected. Mr. Lewis spoke
a few brief words to us. We would
like to invite Mr. Lewis back to
more of our classes.
I think it is about time I put in j
a plug for our most wonderful i
/cafeteria staff. They are Mrs.
Hazel Mason, Mrs. Edna Gaskill, ]
and Mrs. Irene Hamilton. Besides
being wonderful cooks, they each \
have a splohdid personality. We j
hope to have them back with us '
next year, especially if they have j
barbecue every Friday.
Friday afternoon found the high
school in the gym. Purpose? To
see a ball game, the eighth grade
boys vs. the ninth grade boys. It
seems the ninth graders were vic
torious, though most everyone
wanted the underdogs to win. Bet
ter luck next time, eighth grade.
Last Thursday morning the Sen
ior 4-H Club held its monthly meet
ing in the high school auditorium.
President Freddie Salter presided
at the meeting and led the group
in the pledge to the American flag
and the 4-H Club pledge, after
which Karen Smith led the group
in devotion. Dot Gillikin led the
group in an evening prayer and
Secretary Sandra Salter read the
minutes of the last meeting.
During the business session, Mr.
Williams intrdouced his assistant,
Harry Venters. Mrs. Garner an
nounced that the Home Demonstra
tion Club meeting is to be held
When we were sent to the board
the 24th of this month. After the
business, Dora Willis, our elub
project leader, told us about the
keeping of records. Then a poem,
Make it a Treat" was read by
Rachael Salter.
Afterward Mr. Williams showed
the group a demonstration: How
to Make a Flat for Tomato Plants.
Mr. Venters showed us some very
niee vegetable charts. The pro
gram was most interesting.
Today meet another senior. She
is Rachael Salter, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Harvey Salter of Sea
Level. Rachael, who was born Jan.
30. 1938, is the most mannerly girl
of the senior class.
Besides being an outstanding
ball player, she has been class of
ficer two years and at present is
FHA historian.
Rachael chooses strawberry short
cake as her favorite food and Eng
lish as her favorite subject. She
is engaged to Kenneth Lewis who
I is serving in the U. S. Army in
Alaska. Rachael is planning to at
tend Campbell College where she
j will take a business course.

Fishermen Start Taking
Hard Crabs in Traps
Crab fishermen are setting traps
in coastal waters, but the price
they're bringing this year is only
about 3*4 Cents a pound, far be
low the peak of 11 cents last
spring.
The traps must be set to allow
at least a third of the water pas
sage open for boats, according to
Gehrmann Holland, fisheries com
missioner. When the crab pots
were first put out in large num
bers, which was last year, many
fishermen objected to the new
method of taking them.
But the fishery proved so profit
able that efforts to curb crab pot
usage have not been very success
ful.

Present Polio
Vaccine May Be
More Effective
"Final reports may show the
Salk vaccine used in 1955 to be
more effective than that used in
1954." Dr. Luther Fulcher, of the
Medical Advisory Committee of
the Carteret Chapter, National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis,
said today.
"Most of us will recall," Dr. Ful
cher said, "that the official evalua
tion report on the vaccine field
trial, delivered last April by Dr.
Thomas Francis Jr.. said the vac
cine was from 60 to 90 per cent
effective.
"Government statistics, involving
5.000.000 children in 11 states for
last year, show the vaccine to be
76 per cent effective in prevent
ing paralytic polio with increas
ingly good results as new figures
come in."
A big difference between use
of the vaccine in the field trial
and use in 1955 was that in 1954
nearly all the children studied re
ceived three doses of vaccine, he
pointed out. This year most of the
children on whom there are re
ports received only a single injec
tion.
Dr. Fulcher said that if an ef
fectiveness of 76 per cent was
achieved with one dose of vacc.ne,
it seems reasonable to suppose that
three doses of the present vaccine
would prove far more effective.
"The field trial vaccine of 1954
contained a preservative which
tended to weaken it in time," he
explained. "Present methods of
production have overcome this dif
ficulty.
"It is interesting to know that
other countries using the Salk vac
cine likewise are beginning to re
port favorably on it, notably Den
mark and Canada, where the lar
gest inoculation programs outside
of the United States were carried
on.
"The vaccine is not 100 per cent
effective," Dr. Fulcher said. "No
vaccine is. But research supported
by the March of Dimes is being
continued to bring the effective
ness as close to total protection as
is possible."
