Dear Madam:
The case you employed me to solve proved to be most fas
cinating as well as interesting. I am happy to report that all
your missing books will be returned by Monday. Perhaps you d
like to know in whose custody I found each of them. I hope you
are as pleasantly surprised and amused as I was.

Power Oi Press
Is Proved Again
Rummaging the attics about
town proved that costuming and
stage settings are some of the
major problems in the casting of
a play. These jobs are especially
difficult if the setting is in 1910
like the Senior play. One Foot In
Heaven.
Mrs. Don Peiffer, anxious to
have authentic 1910 stage settings
and costumes, sent out a plea
through the Stanly News and
Press for magazines «ind other in
formation which would be of as
sistance.
Quite unexpectedly Mrs. Peiffer
received numerous telephone calls
from people in the community
volunteering such information
about 1910 as they remembered.
Mrs. Ruth Morris,'307 Old Salis
bury Rd., sent a 1910 Saturday
Evening Post and a Designer. A
Ladies Home Journal Pattern
Book, 1910, supplied by Mrs. H. S.
Lisk, Brooks street, proved in
valuable for costuming helps. Mrs.
Barbee of Badin even sent four
1910 hats to be used by the cast.
“The power of the press is cer
tainly established by the respon
ses given my plea,” says Mrs.
Peiffer. “Without these kind do
nations my job would have been
doubly difficult.”
Mr. Gilbert: Well, son, how are
your marks?”
Hoyle: “They’re under water.”
Mr. Gilbert: “What do you
mean, under water?”
Hoyle: “Below C level.”
Jimmy Green: “Too much sugar
in my coffee used to keep me
awake all, night; now I'm up all
night looking for sugar.”

BETTY BOONE
“The happiest moment of my
life was when I found that I had
been chosen for Who’s Who,” said
friendly and likeable Betty Boone,
our spotlight choice of the month.
Betty, whose hobby is “just
having fun,” is kept busy with
her many activities and studies.
During her years at high school,
she has been a Student Council
representative, homeroom secre
tary, Mixed Chorus accompanist,
senior class secretary, and a mem
ber of the Booster’s, Dramatics,
and French clubs. Last year she
was chosen chief cheerleader, an
honor that she really deserved.
Talented in music, Betty serves
as organist of the First Baptist
Church. On Saturdays she can be
found smiling behind the cash
register at Merit’s Shoe Store.
Popular Betty’s sincere and
helpful character, in addition to
many excellent traits, will aid her
in the future as well as it has in
the past, for she plans to enter
the Presbyterian School of Nur
sing after graduation.
“Night and Day” tops Betty’s
hit parade, while swimming and
apples are her favorite sport and
food respectively. Betty claims
Larry Parks and Theresa Wright
as her movie ideals and simple,
neat clothes as her choice of ap
parel.
Bluie-eyed Betty’s ambition is to
be liked by everyone, but we don’t
think she needs to worry about
that, because why shouldn’t folks
like a girl with personality, talent,
and a cheerful attitude toward
life?
State Tests
State algebra and physics
tests were given to the advanced
algebra students and physics
students last week. Results
have not yet been obtained.
JOHN HELMS
Johnny Helms is the guy who
starred at halfback in football
last season, who has been treas
urer of the Booster’s club this
year, president of his homeroom
for two years. Student Council
representative two years, presi
dent of the French club last year,
a member of the Monogram club,
the Dramatics club, and the
basketball team. He’s the guy who
has promised to clean up A. H. S.
as chairman of the “Building and
Grounds” committee.
One of the happiest moments of
Johnny’s life was when the Bull
dogs beat Concord 25-0 in Con
cord. That was one of the few
times Albemarle had ever beaten
them on their home field. “By the
way,” he said proudly, “Concord’s
never beaten us here either.”
The 5 ft. 10 inch senior with
hazel eyes and dark brown hair
(who is described by eighth grade
girls as dreamy) appeared in the
play “If Men Played Cards as
Women Do.”
Sports, steak and chicken, and
Virginia Mayo and Montgomery
Cliff are a few of his favorites,
and his only intense dislike is gos
siping girls.
Next year will find him at the
University of North Carolina,
probably studying business ad
ministration.
When asked what his ideal girl
would be like, he just answered
“Ask Barbara: she ought to
know.”
Clean Up Day
The annual school clean up
day went over with a clean sweep
March 31. Activity period and
first period were used to wash
windows, scrub woodwork, and
clean out lockers, desks, and
closets.
