Survey Is Made
Of All Students
Here it is! The results of the
survey made recently in high
school to determine just who is
tops with the student body.
There was a very close run be
tween Hazel Whitley and Mar
garet Patterson for the most ath
letic girl. However, in the last
voting Hazel won over Marg by
a large majority, due to the record
that she has made as a coach for
the ping-pong team. There was
no competition to speak of with
the boys, A. H. S.’s own Gordon
Schenck being chosen by a big ma
jority.
For the dumbest, Doris Tucker
and Bill Morton led the field.
There was a tie between Della
Carter and Peggy Morris for the
most conceited girl, while Jim La
mar was chosen for the boys.
Geraldine Boone was chosen the
quietest girl in A. H. S., runner-
up being Jane Priester.
Bettye Hatley, Lucille Helms,
and Mahlon Hill were voted the
most bashful.
Five people tied for the most
studious: Oscar Lackey, Tommy
Andrew, and Johnny Lowder for
the boys, and Carolene Efirtl and
Mildred Mullis for the girls.

Freedom of Activity, More Noise, Extra
Meals, Free Movies, No Home Work
Are Provided.
Some students have been complaining that the fac
ulty doesn’t allow them enough freedom and rest.
This argument was taken up at teachers’ meeting
and they decided to change the daily schedule and activi-
’ties in the following ways:
For the students that can’t ever
seem to get enough to eat, the
teachers have all agreed to allow
them to bring candy or whatever
they desire with them to class and
eat all they want.
To the lovers of A. H. S. that
just can’t say goodnight before
eleven o’clock, time will be given
between each period for a fifteen-
minute nap.
No student has to have permis
sion to go any place in the school
or to call another out of the room.
Every Wednesday school will be
open only for those that wish to
Any student on his or her birth
day will be given a large birthday
dinner in the cafeteria and allowed

The school will furnish buses to
take students to Salisbury or
Charlotte for Easter shopping.
Running and yelling in the halls
as loud as you please will be per
mitted, because the teachers know
that the students need the exer-
All teachers will be glad to do
any student’s homework if he finds
it impossible for himself.
Chewing gum is now a require
ment in typing class, because the
students will try to type as fast
as they chew, and this will add to
their speed.
To make more students enjoy
Chemistry, a new case of dynamite
has been purchased for all experi
ments.
Escalators have been installed in
place of the stairs, because the stu
dents were losing too much weight
going up and down the stairs.
Since some students find it im
possible to do without smoking, a
new rule has been made, and smok
ing is no longer prohibited in halls,
classes, or anywhere on the school
grounds.
So that all students will enjoy
the library more, a set of new
comic books may now be found
there. Miss'Kirby says that they
are the best she has read in
weeks.
Students will now take charge of
classes instead of teachers. All
teachers must speak only when
spoken to.
Combs, mirrors, and brushes
have been placed in lockers for the
convenience of the students.
Assistant Chosen
Mr. McFadyen has recently ap
pointed Laura Rose Moose to work
in his office next year. Laura Rose
had not planned to come back, but
after much persuasion from Mr.
Mac, she changed her mind.
Her chief duty will be checking
on attendance and determining
the validity of all excuses brought.
Anygne who is either absent or
tardy must persuade Laura Rose
that he has a good reason, and she
declares that she will permit abso
lutely no “laying out”.
Mr. McFadyen has had ve^
much trouble with the students in
years before, but he believes that
Laura Rose will be excellent in this
type of work and very understand
ing.
She has been a scholastic student
all through high school and in the
honor Society two years. In the
tenth and eleventh grades she has
taken commercial subjects and
really loves typing.
None to Graduate
There will be no graduation e:
ercises this year, as there is r
Senior eligible to graduate.
When checking over the grades,
Mrs. Jennings found that the high
est average was an E plus, made
by John Denning.
Runners-up were Claud Lowder,
Charles Tucker, and Hal Ingram.
