bob REDWINE advises you
not to go to the hospital unless you
re prepared to starve to death.
He reports that his first day
there they gave him a look at a
glass of grape juice, next day they
let him smell it, the third day they
let him taste it. >
He was thinking of getting «
real meal the next day, so lay back
and smiled beatifically.
Just then the nurse came in.
[Looking at him in alarm, she grab-
,bed a sheet and started to pull it
over his face, thinking him dead.
Or, at least, that’s Bob’s account
of it. * » .

date with another, things began
happening thick and fast.

On Progress
The Stamp and Bond drive at
Albemarle high school was success
fully begun January 27, with Miss
DeBerry’s homeroom buying over
$95 worth out of the $639.50 total.
A chart of considerable length
has been made for the drive by
Kent Outlaw, Sue Culp and Olin
Frick, under the direction of Pete
Clark.
The chart, which is displayed ii.
the study hall, represents the Pa
cific ocean, over which ships, planes
and P.T. boats are moved from the
United States to Japan.
There are ten spaces between the
two countries. A class must buy
five dollars worth of stamps
bonds a week to move a ship
space. If, however, a class fails to
buy the required amount a week,
a Jap sub leaves Japaiv one space
for the U. S.
The homerooms who already
have all their ships out are Hat
ley’s, Kirby’s, and Caughman’s;
however their work isn’t over yet,
as the production assemblies are
getting more ships to the front
every day.
When Miss DeBerry’s and Mr.
Fry’s homerooms get another five
dollars each, their ships will also
be behind the Japanese lines.
Berrier’s homeroom has let a
Japanese submarine out.
The drive will last until the end
of school, when the room that has
gotten the most ships across will
be declared the winner.
Pete Clark, chairman of the
Bonds and Stamps committee, says
“This new idea is working well and
,'ou can be sure that this school
will do its part to help Stanly
county reach its goal in the fourth

By Their Words
“People will pay for their igno
rance sooner or later,”—Mr. Hat
ley.
“I’ll have to mimeograph some
letters of recommendation I have
so many to write. I must have a
few friends.”—Mr. McFadyen.
“I’ve said a whole bit.” — Mr.
‘Dear Class: With a pen in my
hand, a lump in my throat, and a
nurse in my lap, I take pen in hand
to write you a letter.”—Bob Red-
from the hospital.
A. H. S. Accredited
A. H. S. is again placed on the
Southern Association list.
This school has been kept off the
list for a number of years because
Mr. McFadyen had not obtained
his Master’s degree.
The rating depends on such
things as the number and type of
library books, teachers certificates,
and teacher load.
The only objection this group
had to the school this year was the
teacher load in the eighth grade.
—Betty Borom.
“In about three minutes I’m go
ing to fight the War of 1812—then
I’m through with it.”—Mr. Mc
Fadyen.
‘Get settled down and make at
least thirty on this one.” — Mr.
Hatley before exams.

; today we have some black
girls gloves.” — Bobby Redwine
announcing over P. A. system.
‘If you don’t like to listen to
the Briarhoppers, you’re full of
mud.”—Jimmy Knotts.
'Mr. Hatley, you didn’t play
fair with us students. You left us
of the cigars.”—Bernice Aus-
