Nine New Meznbezs Initiated Into National Honor Society ana WHILE DISCUSSING MARRI AGE in Bible class, Miss Harrison was trying desperately to defend Women, who “Skip” McManus thought should not have an edu cation.

Carolyn: “Have you seen Frank Efird today?” Margaret: “No, why would I see him?” Carolyn: “Well, you kinda like him, don’t you?” Margaret: “Yes, but not half as much as he likes himself.” * * * .REID McLENDON: “Hey, John- iiy, you’re getting fat.” Johnny Boyette: “That’s all right; I don’t have to go to a cot ton gin to weigh.” * * * “Can you help a girl in trouble?” asked Virginia Brown. “Sure,” readily agreed Mr. Cashwell. “What kind do you Want to get in?” “SOMEONE*THINK OF some thing funny. I don’t have my P'ull Moon” said Dot Gaskin. Carolyn Akers said, “Be patient, I may say something real bright.” Dot replied, “I can’t be that , patient,' Carolyn.” * ♦ ‘ Mr. fry WAS showing the ^ixed Chorus class how to use their diaphram when they sing When Bill Barnes chimed, “You have an advantage over us, Mr. ^ry. We don’t have as much to Work with.” Mr. Fry was quick to answer, “L>o the best with what you have.” He * * NELL HATLEY: “DID you see those beautiful waves at Badin Lake Saturday night, Dot?” ,Dot Gaskin: “What waves?

Se * * Induction of the officers and members of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi- Y clubs of A. H. S. will be held November 12, at the Lutheran church. The public is invited to attend the service which begins at 7:30 p. m. Did you know that Joe DiMag- gio is a boxer and Dean Acheson a news reporter? We didn’t either, but obviously someone thought so as these were answers given in a recent test in which members of the journalism class were asked to identify thirty- three men and women who have been prominent in current news I*g163.S6S Naturally the whole class was able to identify President Tru man, Douglas MacArthur, Joseph Stalin, Charlie Justice, and Walt er Winchell. We’re not bragging, though, be cause Inglis Fletcher, an out standing author, and Syngman Rhee, ruler of South Korea, got only one guess each; and John English Teacher In Auto Accident; Resigns Position Mrs. N. A.. Hayes, A.H.S. En glish teacher, has been forced to resign as the result of an auto mobile accident which occurred near Mooresville last Saturday when she, with her husband and two friends, was on the way to Mars Hill. Mrs. Hayes, the most seriously injured of the four, has a broken vertebra and will be in a cast for from 4' to 6 months.. Mr. Hayes was badly bruised and is suffering from shock. They are both still in the hos pital in Mooresville, but will be brought to the Stanly County hospital in the next few days. The friends who were travel ing with them were unin jured. \ No definite plans have as yet been made for filling ’the va cancy caused by Mrs. Hayes’ resignation. Foster Dulles, U. S. representa tive to the United Nations, receiv ed only two correct answers, and by the way, someone thought he was the Russian representative. It seems that everyone would be reading the war reports, but four people could not identify the 38th parallel, and some slightly confused person thought Nehru, prime minister of India, was a town in Korea. Gordan Gray or Gordan Mac- Rae? Names are rather confusing, and Gordan Gray, president of U. N. C., was mistaken for Gordan MacRae, the singer. The same goes for J. Waties Waring, for someone thought he was Fred Waring, the musician. Harry Byrd, senator from Vir- Nine new members were tap ped into the A. H. S. chapter of the National Honor, Society Fri day, October 13. They were Martha Knight, Jo Ann Burrell, Lois Lowder, Phyllis Kluttz, Bet ty Jean Poplin, Tommy Morris, Robert Scaggs, Malcolm Lowder, and Don Wagner. The five seniors who were tap ped into the society last spring followed Mr. Cashwell to the stage’ as Mr. Fry played “Largo” as a processional. The president, Ed Patterson, read Psalm 15 and Harold Hudson sang “The Lord’s Prayer”. Talks on Character, Scholar ship, Leadership and Service were given by Jane Rogers, Dorothy Gaskin, Charles Litaker, and Ann Taylor, respectively. After the new members were tapped, they repeated the oath, led by Mr. Cashwell. The secre tary, Jane Rogers, then read the complete enrollment of the Honor Society of Albemarle high school. The program was concluded as the old and new members follow ed Mr. Cashwell out of the audi torium as Mr. Fry played “The Lost Chord” as a recessional. ginia, was thought to be an ad miral, a communist spy, and—can you beat this — Keith Byrd’s father. This class, however, seems to keep up to date with football, as only a few missed Coaches Carl Snavely and “Peahead” Walker. Delegate to Britian, gambler, or communist — which is Jim Konstanty? Since he is pitcher for the Phillies, we doubt if he would have time to be , any of these wrong answers. After considering the numerous answers given, the students de cided that there are a number in the class,who are really news con scious, but the others, well — the funnies must get all their atten tion. Council Planning Big Event During Education Week. In connection with National Education Week, A. H. S. will hold open house for parents on Thursday night, November 9, at 7:00 p. m. Since the high school has no P.- T. A. as the elementary schools do, the Student Council is spon soring this affair for parents of children in high school, primarily. It will be an opportunity for par ents to visit home rooms and look over the school. The parents will register in the home room in which their child is enrolled. Two guides will be in each home room to show them around the school if they wish to see it. Each home room will have two prizes, and there will be one grand prize, all donated by Albe marle rrierchants. Parents eligi ble for the grand prize will be ones who are registered in the home room that has the greatest number present. Refreshments will be served in the cafeteria, and later the guests will assemble in the auditorium for the drawing of names for the prizes and for a musical program under the direction of Mr. Spen cer Hatley and Mr. Fry. On Thursday morning, Novem ber 9, the school will have a clean up, to prepare for the open house. Virginia Brown Is Chosen Princess Virginia Brown, a very popular senior, was recently chosen to represent Albemarle at the Free dom Carrousel, which will be held in Charlotte on November 16. Virginia is the president of the; Boosters’ club, a member of the Dramatics club, and a first alto in Mr. Fry’s Mixed Chorus. She supports AHS in many other ways, including being on the Full Moon staff and being a cheer leader. Virginia’s escort while in Charl otte will be Jim Ivey, who will ac company her.
