Mr. Mac’s sociology class is go
ing to take up the problem of boy
meets girl, romance, and family
affairs after it finishes its study
on crime.
Since this is. a Valentine issue,
what could be^ more appropriate
than the subject love? Don’t get
me wrong; I’m not running a
love lorn column. I am merely
trying to establish a workable
romantic procedure. Here’s one of
the basic don’ts in bringing about
a romantic atmosphere. Don’t sit
at the drive-in with your best girl
and draw football or basketball
diagrams on the windshield all
evening. Fellas, you’d better not
try to give her a twirl either, had
they H. F. and B. B.?
For further pointers on the cor
rect romance procedure, please
see a certain A. H. S. lass who
has composed a new love song.
She is having trouble in naming
her tune. “I can’t get enough of
that wonderful stuff,” or Gene’s”,
or “I’m on an allowance” are the
main title contenders. I hope she
chooses the correct name — eh,
Laughter?
It seems that Cupid has pierced
C. W.’s heart, because she has a
Very definite crush on B. Barnes.
Ask Barbara B. if ‘Youngun’ has
been over to her house lately to
see anything. ‘Why don’t girls
stop wearing angoras’, is the cry
heard from Miss Morrow’s home
room. ‘They get all over us when
we touch them.’ What’s the mat
ter, boys? Are you using the cor
rect technique?
Robert Ruark, noted columnist,
has offered one of the best defi
nition of men and women that I
have heard recently. He says,
“Women are physically stronger
than draft horses, with steely ner
ves and limitless endurance. Man,
conversely, is a finely wrought
creation, sensitive, nervous, prone
to hysteria, and quick to tire.”
According to a recent survey,
some of the boys of A. H. S. a-
greed with Mr. Ruark, while
others disagreed violently. Some
male students, 107 to be exact,
gave their choices of “Queens of
Our Hearts” in a poll taken by
yours truly last week.
After careful thought, we, the
107 judges, find the following A.
H. S. girls the “Queen of Our
Hearts”. If we could have one
Valentine, we would want her to
he a combination of the following
girls’ characteristics.

YOUNG'UN and SWINK
Young’un and Swink are back
again;
We had better jokes, but we
couldn’t get them in.
Doug Archer was'^reading this
article in the paper: “A woman
died and left $50,000 tied up in
her bustle.”
“She sure left a lot of money
behind,” was his comment.
Mr. Fry says that he always
helps his wife clean the house.
He said, “Wednesday I washed
the dishes with her; yesterday I
dusted with her; tonight I’m go
ing to mop the floor with her.”
Johnny Knight was going to
bring Mrs. Stovall a bridge lamp
for her birthday. It’s too bad
they made him put it back on
the bridge.
Reid: Do you love me?
Helen: Of course, with all my
heart.
Reid: I’d do anything for you,
Helen.
Helen: Then SHUT UP while I
talk to these other boys.
T-Model: My girl has blonde
hair, blue eyes and a supreme
court figure.
Carroll Davis: What do you
mean, a supreme court figure?
T-Model: NO APPEAL.
Tommy Sibley: When I play
ed at the party, they told me
what they would like me to do.
Bob Gulledge: And I hope you
did as they requested.
Tommy: How could I jump in
the lake when I can’t swim?
Hailey: Do you think all mar
ried people are, unhappy?
Frank: No, sir; only the men.
Mrs. Peiffer: A man picked my
husband’s pockets last night.
Miss Matheson: Did he get
much?
Mrs. Peiffer: All he got was
practice.
Jane Little: Cob, darling, if
you inherited some money, would
you split with me?
Cob Griffin: Sure, I’d split with
you. I’d leave you in a minute.

BOB YOUNGBLOOD
“I don’t care too much about
dancing but I enjoy holding the
girls while they do.” That’s
Young’un.
Bob Youngblood, Who’s Who
this month, has such an appeal
ing personality that he can get
along with everyone and his
sense of humor makes him at
ease in any situation.
Recently chosen Student Lion
and president of his Sunday school
class, he is also one of the “big
wheels” around school, holding
the offices of president of the
Monogram Club, the Boosters
Club, and his home room. He is
A. H. S. electrician, scorekeeper
for the basketball team, and a
member of the Black Masque.
'Very active in sports, especially
football, he was chosen co-capt-
tain last season by his teammates.
Bob has also participated in in
tramural activities.
Here is a person with determi
nation and probably the only per
son to run all the way from Badin
to Albemarle. His time—52 min
utes, his motive — to win a bet.
One of the seven winners from
A. H. S. in the Safety contest,
5ob appeared over WBT in Char
lotte in the Student Safety Forum.
“Young’un,” 6’, grey eyes, brown
hair , likes Esther Williams and
Bob Hope at the movies, chicken
to eat, “I’ll String Along With
You” as a song, and any type
dream girl just so she’s female.
It has been rumored that this
human dynamo was voted “Capt
ain Had-a-col” by his home room,
but this may just be a story
built around his excess energy,
which he releases at least once a
day by taking 20 laps around the
football field.
Although Bob isn’t sure about
the college yet, there is going to
be one, he says, and his choice
will be favored with a cheerful,
friendly, really outstanding per
sonality. •
CONNIE McLAIN
The old saying “big things come
in small packages” strictly ap
plies to energetic, friendly Connie
McLain, our Who’s Who girl of
the month.
Connie has always excelled in
her school work. Some of her
present honors are Honor Society
member, A. H. S. reporter to the
Stanly News and Press, managing
editor of Crossroads, cheerleader,
basketball team member, chair
man of the assembly committee,
and feature writer for the Full
Moon. She belongs to the Boosters
and Dramatics club, and has been
secretary of the student council.
All 5’ 11/4” of Connie is talent.
She has appeared on the “Stars
of Tomorrow” program in Rale
igh, and has accompanied various
soloists on station WABZ. For
nine years she has entered the
national piano contest and has
been awarded superior grades
each time. This year Connie is
trying for her high school diplo
ma in music, >and knowing her,
we feel sure that she’ll get it.
Any kind of music except hill
billy rates with Connie. Other
favorites are steak, movies, es
pecially if Montgomery Cliff or
June Allyson are stars, sports and
the popular song, “My Dream is
Yours.”
Like all girls, Connie has a
dream boy. She says he should
have a good sense of humor, be
ambitious, friendly, honest, at
tractive, neat, and fun to be with.
That’s a pretty big order, but the
best deserves the best.
Connie plans to enter either
Winthrop College or W. C. U. N. C
next year. Her major will be
music.
If you see a red-headed brown
eyed bundle of cuteness walking
down the hall, cheering, or just
talking to one of her many friends,
you can be sure it’s Connie, a
gal who’ll go a long way in life.
