Fry —— Today's Battlefield Reckless and fast driving are of late becoming a menace and tragedy in tTiis community. For the proof of this, visit the lots of the several garages of Albemarle. The property loss, however, is not the important loss. The loss of life is what needs most to be combatted. Traffic accidents over a period of years take more lives than does war, something directly related with death. The highway is a battlefield, bloody and wicked. There is only one way to stop a battle, a war: to beat one side. Our enemy is carelessness; safety, our weapon. Much of the blame of reckless driving is laid to us younger drivers. It is true we are responsible for many accidents, for deaths, and for loss of property. That is what we have to battle. The recent program of safety carried on by the school is the big gun in the battle for the purpose of knocking out, in this school, those who are ifond of reckless and foolish practices. For they, maybe not knowing it, are endangering innocent and law-abiding citizens and their families. This brings us to another phase. The careful driver is still in danger. He may drive well, but he must be on watch for those who do not. Constant vigilance is another weapon of the battle. We will not have to worry about our elders cooperating in this battle, for they, as they say, see more danger than do we. Excep tions there are, as always, but only minor ones. Then let us, the younger, fearless generation, look at the posters in our rooms, learning from each one a weapon to put into the battle. Listen to the mottoes that we may save lives—perhaps our What's Wrong, Boys Perchance a few of you fellows have seen the Honor Roll section of this paper. If you haven’t, then read it and go hide your head in shame. The girls completely ran away with all honors in scholarship this time. Usually they are ahead, but never before has it been this bad. In the twelfth grade the ratio of girls and boys on the honor roll and highest honor was three to onp. In the eleventh grade the ratio was five and one-half to one. In the tenth grade the ratio was four and two-thirds to one. In the ninth grade the ratio was three and one-third to one. The eighth graders had the most nearly even ratio, with a rating one and seven-tenths to one. In each case mentioned above, the girls had the long end of the ratio. It seems as though the higher the grade, the worse the boys scholarship. The fact that spring fever is running rampant in the boys’ ran^s could be a cause. But doesn’t it affect girls too? Wake up, fellows! Don’t let a bunch of girls beat you out of your rightful places. Take those books home and show ’em who is the smartest. Orchids To: Great big orchids to all those people who became members of the Honor society. This is the highest honor which the school can give. Miss Holbrook and her library staff certainly deserve some orchids for the interesting lobby displays this year. To the faculty for their splendid teaching during this year. The Full Moon staff for working so hard on the paper. And if you’re going to give one to them, then you must give one to Mrs. Fry for being critic, adviser, and the “brains behind the paper.’ The Dramatics club has been doing some good work—just to show you that we appreciate it, here is a big bouquet. To our janitors and maids, who have kept the school so clean To the Student Council who have been and are doing a grand job. And certainly to those boys who were awarded Eagle Scout badges. The Lions club for the canteen that we’ve enjoyed all year. The Safety committee for the campaign they have put on. ONIONS TO:— Those parasites who continually borrow pencils, paper', etc., from their nei;>;hbors. People v»ho always keep library books overtime and always owe fines. People who steal pictures out of other people’s billfolds. Students who just can’t listen. Kids who can’t be quiet in assembly.

According to Emily: With Other Editors TWO ABLE SCHOOL MEN (Charlotte Observ^er) Two of the best public school ^en in North Carolina, in our judgment, are Claud Grigg, super intendent of the Albemarle schools and James P. Sifford, superinten dei^ of the Stanly county schools. Both of these men have for many years labored with uncom mon loyalty and energy to bring their respective school systems to the forefront, and in this ambitious and worthy undertaking, they have been uniquely successful. The people of Albemarle and Manly county recognize both of them as outstanding citizens, as progressive educators, and as men who are an adornment to their profession. tv, *^^^®®rtening circumstance that the North Carolina Educa tion association, in the leadership of which they have had a control- ling hand for the past few years, has given them recognition which they deserve.

BOYS With spring here and plenty of leisure time for dating, here are a few hints on dating. In asking a girl for a date, a boy should not say, “Are you busy to night?” or “What are you doing Friday?” What she is doing is no concern of his. What he really wants to know is whether she will go to the dance or the movie with him. That is what he should ask her. He should ask a girl for a date as far in advance as possible so that she may make the necessary arrangements at home. He should make the girl feel that she is “tops” with him. Especially objectionable is the boy who tries to show off in a car by speeding or reckless driving. He shouldn’t talk about the dates he has had with other girls, and should never leave her out of the conversation if double-dating. Emergencies are the only real reason for breaking a date. If a boy is forced to break a date, he should offer to make some compen sation for the disappointment, such as by asking for another date very soon. When entering a movie the girl precedes the boy down the aisle if an usher leads the way; but if they find their own seats, the boy goes first. After dancing with a girl, he thanks her and walks back with her to her seat, to her chaperon, or to her next partner. He should never leave her standing alone in the middle of the floor. When he calls on a girl, he shouldn’t remain after ten o’clock, even though the girl wants him to. girls If you want to rpf,,-. simply say, “I’m sorr^'te going to be busy on It’s not necessary to expIS you are going to do.
