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.

Ann Furr, Alma Morris an Kitty Doby greatly objected \ this idea, because they said th; they needed the time to stud; but they finally consented, an Mr. McFadyen has approved a The holiday will begin April 1, and will be obse each week following that ol 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 take the rest of the day off. 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.
