BQ.sMtball In Its Prime
Basketball is in its prime and A. H. S. boys and girls are in the
roll for conference championship.
The girls are small compared to last year but their speed has
made many believe that they are superior to last year’s team, which
came second in the conference. Jane Perry, leading Albemarle for
ward, has been putting about an average of fifteen points a game
through the loop, while Ruth Townsend has been holding down the
opponents by her fine guarding.
The boys have already surpassed last year’s record (which was
not very good) and are hoping to come out with the conference
championship.
They are a little discouraged since losing to Barium and Children’s
Home, but they still have the spirit that is important in basketball.
“Red” Bennett, center, is the leading scorer for the boys, while Reed
Gaskin’s guarding and team work always show up well.
Athlete Of The Month
Twelve reliable students, who form the board for choosing the
outstanding athlete of the month, have this time selected silent E. A.
Bingham, the captain and forward of the Albemarle High School
basketball team.
E. A. is not a large person, but he packs plenty of fight and
courage upon his 5 ft. 8, 130-lb. frame. Quoting Coach De Lotto
about E. A., “He has one the deadliest eyes for the basket of any
high school player I have ever seen. No opposing team can afford
to let up with E. A. in the ball game.”
So far this year E. A. has hit 13 out of 14 free shots that he
has received during the competition and fever of a hard-fought game.
These figures alone show what an asset E. A. is to the team. He
i.'n’t the leading scorer on the team, but is always in there shooting,
fighting, and scrapping with the best of the lot.
Girls Have Won 5
Conference Tilts,
Losing Only Two
Albemarle girls lost to Mills
Home Tuesday night in Thomas-
dlle by a score of 32-39. The out-
:ome of this game left Albemarle
with a conference record of five
victories against two losses. High
scorer for Albemarle was Marga
ret Rivers.
Friday night the locals lost their
first game, to Children’s Home by
a 47-25 score. Mullis led for the
Orphans with 20 points, with Per
ry getting 12 for the Albemarle
girls.
Last Tuesday night the locals
defeated Monroe by a 35 to 23
score. Perry leading for Albemarle
and Howie for Monroe.

Mills Home, 20; A.H.S., 30.
Barium Springs, 19; A.H.S., 28.
Spencer, 25; A.H.S., 26.

“Red” Bennett Wins Cup
“Would God I were a tender apple blossom!”
Stopping to find the owner of such a lovely, melodious voice,
the reporter came upon devastating, pulse-a-patting Red “Bentina”
Bennett, recently chosen as Miss Albemarle High School of 1942 in
the men’s beauty contest sponsored by Miss Law’s twelfth grade
homeroom as their chapel program.

Not exactly being on the delicate side, “Bentina” has a hard time
trying to keep the scales down to a meager 192 lbs.
“Diet!” he exclaimed. “That’s not so important in a beauty
contest. I eat everything I want.” That’s right, too. He has one
