The band students will read
ily agree with the statement that
they have been extremely busy
for the past few weeks. It is the
general opinion that the band
gets the least done in school.
Read on and your thoughts will
be changed a great deal.
Two promotions have been
given to band pupils. Frances
Wingate has been awarded mu
sician first-class. Frances plays
the bassoon. David Bruton has
risen to musician second-class in
the clarinet section.
The band, as a whole, has busi
ed itself in preparing 10 num
bers to be presented for the con
test. Out of these numbers, four
will be submitted. The band
will choose one and the judges
will choose another to be played.
In short, they will have to know
all four of these numbers per
fectly.
As many first-chair musicians
as there can be found transporta
tion for, will attend the U.N.C.
Third Annual Band Clinic. This
will be given February 11 at the
Hill Hall in Chapel Hill.
Junior Josey, 1st trombone; Wil
liam Litaker, 2nd trombone; Lar
ry Hartsell, 3rd trombone; and
Carolyn Jones, baritone horn,
participated in Rev. Koestline’s
Shut-In Hour on Sunday, January
29. They played two numbers:
variations on “All Through the
Night” and “Oh! Dem Golden
Slippers”.
This year approximately 135
students are taking band. The
largest portion of these students
are in the grammar school. Tak
ing band while in grammar
school prepares them for more
difficult music in high school, and
during this time also they learn
the fundamentals of music. The
fundamentals of music are as nec
essary as the ABC’s in English. In
a few years when the prepared
students come to high school
their fundamentals will prove
necessary in the making of a bet
ter high school band.
Class Plans Visit
Plans are being made for mem
bers of the D.O. class, accompani
ed by the members of the D.O.
class of Statesville and possibly
those of Kannapolis to make a
field trip to Winston-Salem to
visit the R. J. Reynolds Tobac
co plant. The trip will be made
in March.
Mr. Wilson plans to go to
Statesville soon to make final
plans for the trip.

cafeteria in addition to some new
classrooms. Central school, with
an enrollment of 658, is using as
their lunchroom the old home ec
onomics ro6m which was design
ed for use when the high school
enrollment was less than 200.
“The Central cafeteria kitch
en,” exclaimed Mr. Grigg, “was
at one time the toilet in this
building.”
Central needs, in addition to
the new cafeteria, additional
classrooms, an outside stairway
in the primary building, and a
library workroom.
The high school’s needs are
somewhat greater than those of
the elementary schools. Band
students at present have to go
to the Wiscassett recreation hall
in all kinds of weather to prac
tice. Besides a new band room,
AHS urgently needs enlarged
workshop space to carry on voca
tional work, and additional class
room facilities. If the dressing
rooms were moved into the pro
posed new wing, the gym could
take care of a larger crowd by
making the balcony available.
He continued, “This program
that has been outlined will take
care of our immediate needs. It
is not long range in any sense of
the word. I can not guarantee
that additional classrooms will
not be needed within three to five
years if enrollment figures con
tinue to increase proportion
ately.”
Administration Building.
Mr. Grigg in looking toward
future needs made this state
ment: “Even though the general
public does not recognize this
fact, an administration building
is one of our greatest needs.”
The proposed building would
include in addition to superin
tendent’s offices, offices for the
public school supervisor, library
supervisor, and the music super-
Student Program
Is Well Received
Stunt night, which was sponsor
ed by the Monogram Club and dir
ected by Mrs. Almond, Coach
Webb, and Coach Peiffer, was
considered a big success by the
large crowd that attended.
A delightful program was pre
sented by the boys’ and girls’
physical education classes, con
sisting of twelve acts. Highlights
of the program were “The Shoot
ing of Dan McGraw”, “Home-run
Bill”, and a beauty contest.
Music was furnished by the A. H.
S. band, and solos were offered
by Marilyn Green and Shirley
Medlin. Dwight Cranford was the
Master of Ceremonies.

the proceeds to buy sweaters^for

visor, the school nurse, and the
attendance officer when such a
person is employed. It would
further include a book room and
storage rooms for instructional,
janitorial, and cafeteria supplies.
“Accumulation of the individ
ual records of high school stu
dents is requiring more storage
space than we have. These rec
ords are so important to the
school, as well as to those who
have attended AHS, that we feel
we must keep them in a fireproof
storage vault. This storage space
would be provided in the new
administration buildings,” Mr.
Grigg remarked.
In closing, Mr. Grigg made
this statement: “I believe that if
the people understand the situa
tion and how great the need is,
the program will be provided.
Certainly, nothing can be more
important than providing now
the classrooms and other neces
sary facilities for the training of
the children of Albemarle. The
children of this generation would
receive no benefit from a build
ing program which might be
provided three, five, or 10 years
from now.’ ’
