Business Manager Jane Little Assistant Business Managers Max Pennington, Alton Talbert Circulation Manager Glenn Cranford Advisor Mrs. Paul B. Fry # College Day Congratulations to the Honer Society and their sponsor, Mrs. Westerlund, for putting on one of the most successful events ever held at A. H. S.—;:ollege Day. For the past several weeks the Honor Society was very busy preparing for College Day. The first thing they did was mail letters to all the colleges asking them to send representatives to Albemarle. Next to be done was fix up a place so each repre sentative could speak to the students individually. This was finally accomplished when the Honor Society moved all the tables in study hall to the new gym, putting a sign on each one, stating from which college the representatives had come. Last on the list was to provide for everyone to eat lunch in the cafeteria. While College Day was in progress the students of A. H. S. conducted themselves in a way that would outshine any school. The halls were more quiet and less congested besides every one’s doing his part to be courteous to all visitors. Another admirable thing that was done was inviting all the seniors from every school in Stanly County to visit in A. H. S. and talk to the college representatives. They were also invited to eat lunch in the cafeteria. Our thanks go to Mr. Fry also, for the very nice and well prepared chapel program he planned, which started College Day off. All in all this just goes to show what A. H. S. students can do when they’re realiy interested in something. Are You There? When the A. H. S. “Bulldogs” cagers take the court are you there to help cheer them on to victory? Well, there are not very many loyal supporters. In three home games there have been only 438 students, an average of 146 students a game. What is the reason? Are the prices too high? No, a student ticket costs only twenty-five cents, not as much as it costs to go to the show. Is the gym not good? No, because A. H. S. has one of the best gyms in the South Piedmont Conference. Are the teams weak? No, both the girls and the boys have very strong teams this year. There are four home games remaining—^with Concord, Mon roe, Lexington, and Spencer. So the next time the A. H. S. “Bull dogs” take the court, come out and see what a fine team they have. Play Ball There seems to be a new fad around AHS—seeing who can tear paper into the smallest pieces. The main place these con tests are staged is the study hall. Now that football season is over and there is no more tearing up of oponents on the athletic field, students have switched to tearing up paper to put down people’s backs. We’re getting into basketball' season, and some people really ought to be dead shots. They have been throwing candy wrap pers and old paper at the wastebaskets all year. Maybe this would be all right if they always hit their targets, but too many miss and don’t bother to pick up after themselves. It’s not much sport for the ones who have to clean up, so let’s write a rule book for our new games. Rule one: Anyone tearing up paper shall be required to put it down his or her own back. Rule two: Anyone throwing paper at the waste basket and missing must go pick up the paper and place it in said wastebasket. Conduct In Assembly Buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz! That’s the noise heard every Friday morning while filing into Assembly. A little talking is to be expected while going to and from Chapel. Naturally everyone has to talk to the person sitting beside him some, but avoiding the other noises does help our conduct in Assembly. Just stop to think for a few minutes and imagine yourself performing on the stage before an audience of about 500 people, and all of them talking, whistling, and laughing. Everyone can cooperate by sitting attentively in Assembly and leaving quietly. Let’s all do it. Thank you! Student Impressions 1.
