Fry Congratulations Hats off to the football and basketball teams of A. H. S. They’ve done a very good job. The football team has been especially outstanding for their winning of the South Piedmont Conference championship from Statesville, and then going to Shelby, on invitation from Shelby, and winning the Western Conference championship. Never before in A. H. S. history has a football team won its own Conference championship and another to boot. It seems that Albemarle has been winning a lot of championships lately. The boys basketball team’s record hasn’t been quite as out standing as their football record, they having lost three games, but we are just as proud of them. The girls’ team was undefeated until Concord whipped them, but the girls think it will be a different story when they come here to return the game. We students of A. H. S. are justly proud of these teams and want to congratulate coaches Gibbs and Davis of football and Hatley and Holt of basketball for their splendid teams. Leifs Make the Most of It High schools have come a long way in the last few decades. Today we have more varied courses, more recreation with student clubs and organizations; and better equipped athletic teams than we had 20 to 30 years ago. The high school of the future will contain even better improve ments. There will be authorities to guide the student to choose the vocation for which he is best suited. The schools may teach special trades; such as carpenters, welding, store clerking, and business management. There will be courses teaching us how to keep good health and acquire a better personality through good grooming, good manners, etc. They even may have courses to prepare us for marriage. Our school of today or tomorrow is to teach us about the world we live in, to prepare us to make a better living, and prepare us to put co-operation and democracy into practice in our every day lives. We should work hard while we prepare ourselves for the battle of life; we should do the best we can in whatever we undertake and stay with it until we finish. Alumni News From letters to students from Alumni in the service, bits of news have been picked up. Gerald Mann writes to Brian Harrington from Childress, Texas, that the cigarette shortage is get- ting" worse. Even the girls are “rolling their own.” Gerald is get ting training in navigation and bombardeering. 0. B. Lackey says that Mahlon Hill, who is in the South Pacific, wants mail more than anything Hartsell “Woose” Woosley tells Geraldine Boone that he saw Sam my in Honolulu. Ted Furr and Norman Trexler both have trench foot in Paris. Even though Tommy Rabe is overseas, he writes Pete Clark that he still plays ball. Ted Starr is now CORPORAL Ted Starr. He writes that he spent Christmas week doing K. P. and that, being in Florida, he en joys swimming—in January! Pvt. Clarence Mabry is taking his basic training in Arkansas and writes that he thought school and farming was hard work but now he is seeing what hard work really is. If 1 Were A Boy Wipe Out the Black Market The black market operations in gasoline have been sharply cur tailed recently, and officials believe that when the new coupons go into effect even a further curtailment may result. These new cou pons are said to be practically counterfeit proof, but we can not be satisfied until the whole black market is wiped out. The officials say around 2,000,000 gallons of gasoline are being lost daily through the black market operations. This loss is the main cause of the shortage through legal sources. If this much gasoline is being lost, then we know that there is gasoline available. Although we praise the people for helping cut down this loss, there arises the question, “If the black market’s supply of gasoline is lowered, where will that gasoline go?” The people of the United States are not getting it for private use. Is it sent to the boys over there, or is it held up for reasons not known? It is up to the citizens to stop the black market and then we’ll know where the gas goes. Lest We Forget The results of bond drives in A. H. S. have shown a decided decrease since the Sixth War loan. Students haven’t been doing their best. We ought to have something every now and then to revive our interest in buying bonds and stamps. Why not have good chapel programs? Chapel programs such as the one on the order of a radio pro gram using the names of soldiers who have been killed in action get under the skin of anyone and aren’t easily forgotten. Why couldn’t we have a program for buying bonds on the stage such as we had last year with good results? Those ideas are interesting to the student. Something different should be held every so often to arouse the bond responses. When the Seventh War loan arrives let us be prepared to get the maximum of bonds and stamps. This school when aroused can buy a lot. During the Sixth War loan drive A. H. S. went way over its goal ,and we ought to be pble to do it again. 1.

Lemon pie is her favorite dish and Sammy Kaye is tops on her niusic list. “Baseball is the sport I like best, because it’s more thrilling, and another reason, of course, is our boys won the series one time ” The paratroopers is the best branch of the service Miss Rogers thinks.
