ALBEMARLE, N. C., OCTOBER 1
Welcome, Freshmen
You know we want all these
little freshmen to feel prefectly
at home down here because they’re
the up-and-coming pride of A.H.S.
Too, we’d like them to know that
we’ll endeavor to make their high
school careers as pleasant as pos
sible for them—no matter what
size they are.
We imagine you’ve all passed
the stage of wandering through
our “endless” halls at a total loss
as far as knowing where or when
your next classes begin, but if
you need a helping hand, just call
on us. We’ll be glad to be of
any assistance.
Let’s all make their stay here
most enjoyable so that they will
have something about which they
can look back upon and say,
“Them were the days!”
School Spirit
School spirit is one of the most
valuable and essential possessions
of a high school student body.
After a moment’s association with
students of another school, one
knows whether or not that school
has this most vital factor.
W’ith it, high schoolers are
happy, sporting — whether they
win or lose—, cheerful, and proud
of their school, teams, teachers,
and schoolmates. Without it, the
students just don’t care.
Now that the downtown bus
iness district begins to take a
larger interest in our football
games, we need more than
before to show good sportsman
ship as well as school spirit. The
outsiders usually follow the e
ample set by the students, and
well-behaved, enthusiastic student
group makes a very favorable
pression upon them as well as
upon the out-of-town visitors.
School spirit and sportsmanship
have increased amazingly in A. H.
S. in the last two years. Let’s all
get together and keep them on the
upgrade.
Join a Club
n our school the best
^lat any high
Each
student should be able to find one
which interests him in one way or
another, and he should take ad
vantage of the opportunity. There
clubs available to develop
everything from brains to brawn 1
Students would certainly profit a
great deal by joining these clubs,
for they add much to the pleas-
of high school and divert
mind to more enjoyable
things.
Do you enjoy taking candid
camera shots? Then, why not join
the Photography club?
Maybe you have a vague in
rest in writing; well, why not
try the Journalistic club? If you
think you have only a little talent,
join this club and develop that.
If you’re a book-worm, see Mrs.
Robertson about her Library
Science club and learn more facts
concerning books, authors and
library work.
Perhaps you’re the technical-
minded type. Then join the
Sound club and enjoy working
with Mr. Hatley on radio and the
motion picture camera. Are you
the outdoor-loving specimen? Then
try the Nature club. If
freshmen girls want to be as big
and strong as Olynn Lowder, join
the Recreation club. You husky-
throated ones should try the Glee
club or the Booster’s club. Learn
more about your Old North State
by joining the Citizenship club.
If acting interests you, join one of
the four Dramatic clubs.
After joining these clubs, don’
expect to loaf or waste the spon
sor’s time. Contribute your part
in the club activities so that yoi
will gain the “mosta of the besta’
for your time and interest.

The Poet’s Corner
Bailey G.
(With Apologies to Kipling)
By BILL IMANN
Now in dear old A. H. S.
Where I used to do my bes’
A-playing^sports—’n’ passing with
I knew a good old boy,
Treated like a toy,
He was our grinnin’, gruntin’ Bail
ey G.
It was “Bailey, Bailey, Bailey,
Where the mischief can you be’
Hurry up and bring that soap,
Or we’ll murder you, you dope!”
And that’s the way we treated
Bailey G.
At the end of every quarter
! He would run out with the water,
And on ev’ry time-out there he’d
kneel;
But for all his ugly mug.
He would always help to lug
The ones with broken bodies off
the field.
It was “Bailey, Bailey, Bailey,
Here s a guy with a busted knee!
lell the coach to come a-runnin’.
And, if you can quit your funnin’,
Please, brmg us some water, Bail
ey G.”
I shan’t forget the day
^ dropped along the way.
With my knee-joint almost busted
half in two.
Good old Bailey spied me first,
And I thought that he would burst
His lungs, a-yellin’ for the coach
to come out too.
And when the ganie was through,
And we were black and blue,
A-lyin round as tired as we could
L“okin^ a'Xl meanTnd‘’sou’i°'''’'’
B^e^ S!
I So after he is gone,
' Where it won’t take so much bran
To play a harp and walk on stre*
of gold,
j He’ll be goin’ out his way,
! Givin’ drinks just every day,
And many a .soul ’II get a driii
from Bailey G.
Yes, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey!
1 You hunk of skin and bones, Bai
ey G.
Though we’ve belted you t:
I flayed you,
I By the living God that made yo.
! You’re a better man than I a
