JunioTS Chosen
For Girls' State
Dot Gaskin and June Rogers
have been chosen by the Stanly
County Chapter of the Woman’s
Legion Auxiliary to represent
Stanly County at the 1950 Girl’s
State.
This year Girl’s State will be
held at WCUNC in Greensboro,
from June 4 through June k The
purpose of this event is to ac
quaint as many girls as possible
with ways in which the American
government works and the prin
ciples of the American way of
life. During their stay at Girl’s
State, the girls representing coun
ties all over the state will form
a government and conduct it, as,
nearly as possible, in the way
that the actual state government
is carried out. They will also have
the opportunity of hearing a num
ber of outstanding authorities.
Dot and Jane were chosen to
represent Stanly County on the
basis of their scholarship and civic
mindedness. Each year two girls
are chosen from the rising senior
class to attend this event.
The optometrist adjusted the
patient’s new eyeglasses care
fully and said with a tone of
satisfaction, “There, now you’ll be
able to read without straining
your eyes.”
The man looked a little doubt
ful.
“You mean I’ll be able to read
without going to school?” he
asked.

County Defeats
School Bond Issue
The proposed bond issue for the
improvement of Albemarle and
Stanly County schools was defeat
ed by a large margin in a special
county-wide election held Tues
day, April 11.
, The bond issue, which was fav
ored by only 1,783 out of 5,900
voters, called for $489,583 for the
city schools. This was to be sup
plemented with $141,422 from
state funds.
City school officials hope to use
the state funds as far as they will
go for additions to Central and
West Albemarle grammar schools,
where the classroom situation is
most acute. '
Tentative plans now call for 4
additional classrooms, toilets, and
cafeteria at Central; and 2 ad
ditional classrooms, library, and
cafeteria at West Albemarle.
Show AHS Grads
Are Making Good
Reports on 37 freshmen who
went from A. H. S. to college this
year have been received and show
that they are making good prog
ress.
The report was for the first
quarter or first semester. These
37 freshmen have made 34 A’s, 61

grades.
N. C. State, Clemson, Duke
University, Mars Hill, Wake For
est, University of North Carolina,

Science Displays
To Be Exhibited
The science, chemistry, and phy
sics classes, directed by Mr. Hat
ley, and the biology classes, under
the direction of Mrs. Lyke, will
again show the progress made in
the past year by presenting their
annual Science Fair on May 26.
Many interesting facts about
science will be demonstrated. “The
Magic Fountain” will be among
the main attractions, but the most
breath-taking event probably will
be the “Electronic Queen of Phy
sics.”
Biology classes have chosen a
committee representing all five
classes, to make all arrangements
for the biology classes in the
Science Fair. The committee
consists of Keith Byrd, chairman;
Ferrell Ridenhour, James Lisk,
Kathryn Atkins, and Joe Gaskin.
The public is invited to come.
Eighth grades and parents may
come in the afternoon. At night
everybody is invited to come.
Mrs. Lyke asks that any upper
classmen who have suggestions for
the biology exhibits turn them in
to her or a member of the com
mittee.
Art Exhibit Given
By Honor Society
An art exhibit sponsored by the
National Honor Society was held
in the high school study hall on
April 3 through 7.

Colonial Art Company and con
tained approximately 150 famous
paintings, each about 17 x 20 in
ches, mounted, and hung on can
vas.
The money earned from this
project is to be spent by the Honor
Society members in purchasing
one large, framed picture for the
school from the Art Company.
