ATHLETES OF THE MONTH
SUE BARRINGER
Sue Barringer has been chosen
as the girl Athlete of the Month,
not for playing basketball, for
which she is most widely known;
but for her outstanding perform
ance in the Third Annual Field
Day.
Sue was the only student in
high school, boy or girl, who won
two events. Showing excellent
form in the girls’ broad jump
event, she leaped 6 feet and 10
inches to capture top honors in
that event. Shortly afterward,
the P.A. system on the field
blurted out “Barringer of the
eleventh grade has won /the
girls’ softball throw event with
a throw of 40 yds., 27 ft. and 10
inches.”
Sue was a forward on the
A.H.S. girls’ basketball team,
which finished in second place
in the South Piedmont Confer
ence, and is very active in var
ious other clubs and activities
around the school. She is an ac
tive member of the Monogram
club and the Booster’s club.
Drawing Classes
Tour Badin Plant
Supervised by E. F. Wilson,
the D.O. and Mechanical Draw
ing classes left the high school
Tuesday morning to make their
annual tour through the Caro
lina Aluminum plant in Badin.
Each year these classes make
the trip to Badin to tour tHe
aluminum plant. This year, the
students were supplied with a
guide, one of the employees at the
plant, who carefully explained
the machinery and functions of
the plant.
In addition to the aluminum
plant, the students were, for the
first time, taken to the power
dam, which generates the elec
tric power for the Badin area.
Here, they observed the work
ings of the generator and var
ious other machines necessary
to the making of electricity.
Chorus Is Heard
By Woman's Club
The A.H.S. Mixed Chorus sang
at the entertainment feature of
the annual luncheon meeting of
the Albemarle Woman’s club
April 21, at Hotel Albemarle.
Selections sung by the Mixed
Chorus were “Send Forth Thy
Spirit”, Schetky; “Come, Thou
Holy Spirit”, Tschesnokoff; and
“Look For the Silver Lining”,
Jerome Kern. The Girl’s En
semble sang “Among My
Souvenirs” by Nichols. Harold
Hudson and Conrad Crotts, solo
ists, sang “Lord’s Prayer” by
Malotte, and “Verdant Meadows”
by Handel, respectively.

BEN MORRIS
Ben Morris, whose speedy
running was almost over-looked
by the senior athletic committee
men, flashed through the whole
field of contestants to win the 50
yard dash event in Field Day last
Friday. Although Ben is usual
ly thought of as the top trom
bone tooter in the band, he is al
so a first class speed merchant.
Ben, a senior from Mr. Fry’s
homeroom, has always been one
of the swiftest runners in his
class. In the fifty yard dash
event Ben was challenged by the
best speedsters in the high school,
and, showing championship form,
he led the pack to win first place.
Because Ben didn’t enter the
100 yard dash, there is some
doubt as to whether he is the
fastest human at A.H.S., but to
be able to win the 50 yard dash a
runner must be a fast starter be
cause of the considerably short
distance. To win the 100 yard
dash a runner must be fast and
have the endurance to out-run
the others.
Ben is well-liked by all the
students at A.H.S. who know him.
He is very active in the music
department of the school, being
in both the band and the chorus.
For his outstanding feat in
Field Day Ben Morris receives
the title of Athlete of the Month.
Maid Is Holder
Oi Lucky Ticket
On every Easter Monday, the
Fullback club of Charlotte gives
away a new car. This past Eas
ter Monday the lucky person
came from Albemarle, where she
is maid of the high school.
Louvenia Kendall, while at
tending the baseball game be
tween Harding and Asheville,
held the lucky ticket to win the
new Ford. She took the car,
then decided she didn’t want it.
She took it to Kannapolis and
sold it. With the money, she
finished the payments on her
new home.
