Students And Bulldogs In High Spirits
To Win Over Barium Springs Tonight
In the brilliant light of a big

students of A. H. S. filled the
Pep talks by Coach De Lotto,
members of the student body
and the faculty were given, ac
companied by yells and songs by

P.-T. A/s Combine
For Year’s Work
Albemarle high school and the
Central Elementary school have
combined their Parent-Teacher as
sociations, since there was such a
imall number that attended the
meetings of the high school last
The meetings will be held at
the Central Elementary school on
third Thur.sday of every month,
with the high school furnishing a
program for every other meeting.
Since most of the parents who
ually attend these meetings
have children in the Elementary
school and the high school, it is
believed that the combining of the
lociations will be suitable to
them, as they will have only one
meeting each month to attend.
President of the association is
Mrs. Duncan Allan; vice president
is Mrs. Claud Grigg; secretary is
Mrs. P. H. Carlton; and treasurer
is Mrs. Loy Gulledge.
Boosters Advertise
Game and Operetta
Projects already in progress by
the Boosters’ Club are publicity
for the Home-coming Game and
for the operetta, “Lelawala”.
The club is taking an active
part in advertising for the Albe-
marle-Barium Springs game and
doing its best to have a large
crowd present to witness it.
The game will be played at the
Albemarle athletic field tonight,
eight o’clock.
‘Lelawala”, an operetta to
^.jsented by Mr. Fry’s chorus
groups, is also being boosted by
the club.
The Boosters’ Club Members are
making posters to put in the down
town store windows. Handbills
will be put in cars and a contest
■ to be held for ticket-selling.
The motto of the club for the
operetta is “Full house”.
Seniors Order Rings
Members of the senior class have
given Mr. Bill Hise, representa
tive of L. G. Balfour Company,
Attleboro, Mass., an order for

Students Observe
Chemicals In Use
Miss Milling recently took her
students down town to see in ac
tual life the different subjects
they had been studying in class.
They went to the hospitals to
study oxygen and its uses in the
mending and saving of human
lives. The classes went to the auto
repair shops to study oxygen and
other gases in the use of metal
cutting, etc. They also visited the
fire department to see the use of
chemicals in fire extinguishing.
The pupils gained much valu
able knowledge and it may be said
that this unusual type of tutoring
was more than successful.

cast have been chosen, practice for
