Burney Sponsors
Poetry Contest
A poetry contest for students
of A. H. S. is being sponsored
again this year by Mr. Harold
Burney, a resident of Albemarle.
Anyone may enter as many
poems as he likes, but they must
be given to his English teacher
before May 1. The poems may
be any length and any type. The
teacher will see that the poems
are typed and numbered and
submitted to the judges.
Mr. Burney loves poetry and
has often tried to write it him
self. By sponsoring contests he
hopes to encourage others to
write. This is his second consec
utive year of sponsoring a con
test for pupils of the high school.
Last year’s winners were Dan
Talbert and Ramelle Rummage.
Dan received a medal as first
prize, and Ramelle was given a
book of favorite poems as the
second.

Forty Juniors Begin Driving Course
DUAL CONTROL CAR—Coach Webb is seen instructing Frank
Jones in the principles of safe driving. The car was given by
Auten-Wolfe Motor Company and expenses are being paid by
the Rotary Club.
City Decides to Help Band
' Training Is Sponsored
By Auten-Wolfe Co.
And Rotary Club.
“Now it’s all very simple. You
rhust concentrate on the do-
whichie here and make sure this
what-cha-ma-call-it is always in
the correct thing-a-ma-jig. The
thing to remember is to keep
your feet moving the pedals,
your hands moving the wheel,
and your eyes in motion, while
watching where you are going
and what everyone else is do
ing.”
We’re sure that Coach Webb,
Mr, McFadyen, Sergeant Craven
Tarleton, and Sergeant Earl
Greer are more specific in their
instructions on the art of driving
than was Jimmy Miller in the
play given in chapel not so long
ago, and we only hope that the
group of students taking the
course can comprehend what
they are saying better than Page
Huckabee seemed to.
The new driving course got
underway at school on Wednes
day, February 18, after Auten-
Wolfe Motor Co., gave the school
a new dual control car on Febru
ary 16. The instructors’ pay and
upkeep on the automobile are
being paid by the Rotary Club.
Coach Webb, Mr. McFadyen,
Sergeant Tarleton and Sergeant
Greer have begun training a
group of eleventh graders.
The coach’s classes, including
Norma Bogle, Jackie Bowers, An
nie Laura Bell, Alma Russell,
Betty Kepley, and Bobbie Al
dridge, meet every Monday,
Tuesday, and Friday afternoon
immediately after school.
Mr. McFadyen teaches a class
composed of Donald Mullis, Jim
my Allen, Francis Gaddy, and
Sally Beaver on Saturday morn
ings.

Campaign To Get
Money For Band
Set For Spring.
Two meetings have been held
recently to discuss and formu
late plans or methods that can
be used to finance a band in
Albemarle high school.
It was agreed at these meet
ings, attended by people inter
ested in the development and
success of the band, to spend
about one month getting pub
licity, and then, in the spring, to
hold a campaign to wake the
people up to the fact that a band
costs money and that it will be
impossible for the school com
pletely to finance and support
such an enterprise.
According to Mr. McFadyen,
the approximate annual cost of
supporting a band would be $5,-
000. The greater portion of this
would be used for the director’s
salary and the remainder for
new instruments, music and re
pairs.
A series of articles by Spencer
Hatley, band director, is appear
ing in the Stanly News and Press
giving the cost of instruments,
uniforms, and various other ex
penses and problems.
Mr Grigg, school superinten
dent, made the following state
ment: ‘‘It will be necessary to
raise money to have the kind of
band Albemarle high school
should have and wants. If we
are to have a band at all, we
want one which can compete
with other bands in the state
and one of which we can be
proud.”
Easter holidays will be March
26-29. School will close on
Thursday afternoon and reopen
on Tuesday. , , ,
Jerry Lowder is driving the
new school bus for AHS. The
new bus is very modern with
heaters, more and better lights,
and commercial seating arrange
ments.
