Page 6 THE FULL MOON November 7 Polish Boy Enters A. H. S.; Likes Friendly Americans What does he look like? How old is he? What’s his name? These are only a few of the questions the students of A. H. S. were asking each other a few weeks ago. Who was the object of all this concern? Harry Paw- lik, the new student from Po land. He is seventeen, 5 ft. 5 inches tall, has brown hair, blue eyes, and is “as cute as a but ton!” At the time of the German at tack on Poland Harry was sepa rated from his family and was placed in a Nazi concentration camp. The Germans did a great deal of moving of their prisoners, and he spent some time in Bel gium, Czechoslovakia, Germany, and Austria. The Americans treated him kindly after his liberation and it was this treatment that decided him on volunteering for the American army as a kind of mas cot. In December, 1944, he join ed the eleventh Armored Divis ion, with which he fought in combat and partially retraced the path of his travels in concentra tion camps. It was then that he received a head injury which caused him to lose his memory. In August, 1945, he joined the 505 M. P. battalion. From Au gust, 1945, until September, 1947, he served with the 796 M. P. battalion in Vienna, Austria. It was in Vienna that he met Lt. Raymond C. Carpenter of Albe marle. Lt. Carpenter made Harry one of his truck drivers and a great friendship began. In fact, he became so fond of Harry that he decided to send the Polish boy back to America to become a part of his family. Harry arrived in Stanly County on September 30 after spending a rugged twelve days at sea (he was sailing during the Florida hurricanes, and was sea-sick dur ing the first part of the voyage) and five days in New York. "America is everything I had expected and more,” is Harry’s opinion of this country. “It is so far advanced; the people are friendly, and they stick together; you can say what you please; in short it is everything I had hoped for.” Harry entered A. H. S. on Oc tober 13. He is taking eighth grade math under Mrs. Ivey, ninth grade science under Mr. Hatley; Mrs. Peiffer’s tenth grade English; Mr. McFadyen’s elev enth grade history, and physical ed. under Coach Webb. Mr. Mc Fadyen’s reason for placing him in different grades was to find out exactly what level of class work will be suited to his pres ent ability. Harry speaks three languages: Polish, English, and Gerrnan. (Don’t faint, French students; it is possible.) English is his favorite, out-ranking even his native Polish. The girls of A. H. S., in Harry’s opinion, are very pretty. “Even better looking than the ones I saw in New York.” He likes the way LEFLER FUNERAL HOME North First Street AMBULANCE SERVICE FUNERAL DIRECTORS Phone 97 Lefler Furniture Company, Inc.

No Ham? (Continued from page one) good if it is carried out properly and if not, no good will be gained. If it will help many starving peo ple and bring down prices, they are for it. Sidney Efird says that if we don’t feed Europe, Russia will. If Russia feeds them, those coun tries will likely go Pro-Commu- nist. He doesn’t mind giving up meat one day a week when in the long run it will help preserve De mocracy. Joe Gaskin implies that we won’t die if we don’t eat a few things on different days of the week but Europe will starve if we don’t give her food.
