Only 4 Diplomas
Will Be Awarded
Only four students will receive
diplomas when school closes on
June 4—Jay Snuggs, Susie Mor
gan, Raymond Harwood, and Dan
Youngblood.
Of these, Susie Morgan is the
only one not an ex-G.I. Raymond
Harwood and Dan Youngblood re
ceived the credits needed to grad
uate while they were in the ser
vice, making them eligible for
graduation without returning to
school. Jay Snuggs, the remaining
ex-G.I., returned to school this
year to secure the credits he needs
to graduate this spring.
Due to the small number of
graduates, there will be no need
of the regular commencement ex
ercises, so diplomas will be award
ed without ceremony.
This situation is the result of
the state’s adding twelfth grade
this year. Students who normally
would have received diplomas from
eleventh grade must now return
for another year.
C. B. Smith Chosen President
Of Honor Society Next Year
Summer School
To Begin June 10
Students desiring summer school
are to report to the high school
Monday, June 10, at 8:30.
All required subjects will be off
ered, and at least two hours per
day on each subject taken is re
quired. This year’s teacher will
be Mrs. Paul B. Fry, who has
taught the summer school before.
Summer school runs from seven
o’clock to twelve. The term is five
weeks long, six mornings a week.
This is in order to get in 30 dap
of school in five weeks. Fees will
be $7.00 a subject.
A student is permitted to take
only two courses during the sum
mer term.

dent of the Honor society for next
year at a recent meeting held in
Miss Fulcher’s room.

retary; and Max Bogle, treasurer.
These officers were chosen from
the 12 students inducted into the

this system, the old jietition sys
tem, and the one convention sys
tem.
This system supplants the peti
tion system, wjiich required one
hundred signatures on a petition to
be nominated for any office.
The new system will require all
persons who wish to vote to reg
ister in advance.
The conventions will be held si
multaneously during school hours
at places designated by the prin
cipal. Each room will be allowed
four delegates, and candidates for
office will be chosen from those
present at the convention. Dele
gates from even-numbered rooms
will attend one convention and
those from odd-numbered lO'jms
will go to the other.
The president of the Student
Council will have charge of one
convention and the vice-president
will have charge of the other. Each
convention will put up one can
didate for each office.
Two other amendments are be
ing made, one which states that
the president will be chosen from
the rising twelfth grade, vice-pres-
ident from the rising eleventh,
the secretary from the rising
tenth, and the treasurer from any
of these grades.
The other amendment is that
officers shall be elected during the
last week of school, that all voters
must register in advance, voting
will be by secret ballot, and the
winning candidate must receive a
majority of the votes.
This new system is designed to
increase student participation in
the school elections.
Statistics of Driving Poll Show That 93
A. H. S. Students Have Driving License
The statistics of the safe driv
ing poll taken at A. H. S. show
that. 93 students at the present
time have their licenses and 427 do
not. Jay Snuggs has had his li
cense the longest of anyone, hav
ing had it five years.
Thirty-six have their learner’s
permits. Four hundred and thirty-
three are planning to learn to
drive, but ten are not. Mr. Mc
Queen is going to have a busy time
writing out learner’s permits.
Only 23 out of 528 have had a
serious wreck while driving. Forty-
six have been in serious wrecks,
though not while driving. There
have been 46 in minor collision
while driving. Only one person in
■school has had his license revoked.
Three people with neither learn
er’s permits nor licenses have had
a minor collision while driving.
Johnny Knight had a wreck
while riding his bicycle; a car ran
into him. Carolyn Hughes was
learning to back, when she hit a
stone wall. (Anyone that cant see
a stone wall!) Don Knotts, James
Haire, and Jack Harris were in
the car when “Tuggy” Hall had
a blow-out on the Badin road. Ihe
car was completely demolished.
Harold Perry wa« with Earl
Taylor in his “A” model when the
spokes broke out in the left back
wheel and the car turned over
three times. Earl and Harold
were thrown through the top and
clear of the car.
Eugene Earnhart, Roy Brown,
and Fred Stanly were coming
from Norwood and came around
the cui-ve near Peck’s Florist, when
Stanly lost control of the car and
it ran up into a man’s yard. Then
it almost came back on the road
but turned over. The car was
completely demolished.
Kenny W'hitley and a carload of
boys were headed for Yadkinville.
On the straight stretch in front of
Palmer’s Stoneworks they ran into
the back of a truck. They couldn’t
see the truck until they were right
on it because it didn’t have any
tail lights. Kenny w^as knocked out
from Saturday night about 9
o’clock till Sunday about 10 o’clock.
All these drivers say that the
wrecks were, due to carelessness
and most were due to excess speed.
