Year's Calendar
Has Been Planned
In order to prevent crowd
ing of the activities in AHS
throughout the year, a school
calendar, which was worked
out this summer by several
teachers, is being followed.

were established roughly, but

will be held within one week
of the specified date.
Some of the activities are:
Oct. 5. — Albemarle versus
Spencer.
October 8-12 Guidance Day.
October 16 or 17 — College
Day. •
October 19—Albemarle ver
sus Mooresville.
October 26—Albemarle ver
sus Statesville.
November 22-23 — Thanks
giving holidays.
December 14-31 — Christmas
holidays.
April 11-14—Easter holidays.
June 2—Commencement.
Membership Now
16 —Juniors Will Be
Added In Spring
Ten new members were tapped
into the National Honor Society
last Friday during the assembly
period.
Patsy Williford, Nancy Jo
Haynes, Carolyn Jones, Margaret
Griffin, Joe Gaskin, Betty Sue
Rogers, Virginia Helms, Jo Ann
Griffin, Kathryn Kimrey, and
Sylvia Morrow were tapped on
the basis of character, scholar
ship, leadership, and service
shown throughout their years
at high school.
The program began with a
hymn sung by the student
body. Following the scripture
reading by William Litaker, J.
C. Boone sang “Thanks Be To
God.” Barbara Crowell, Patsy
Pettit, Jane Russell, and Sue Red-
fern then spoke on the ideals of
the society.
After these talks, the new
members were tapped and
brought to the stage, where Mr.
Cashwell led them in the Honor
Society pledge.

Albemarle City Schools system
is now a member of the Associ
ated School Systems, an associa
tion formed three years ago to
advance the cause of education.
Membership is by invitation
only and is limited to approxi
mately 400 members. Only five
school systems in N. C. are mem
bers: High Point, Rocky Mount,
Raleigh, Wilson, and Albemarle.
Mr. Claud Grigg and a mem
ber of the school board last year
attended a meeting of the as
sociation in High Point and en
rolled this school. Last sum
mer Mr. J. L. Cashwell attended
a five-day session at Columbia
university to learn more about
the program.
The citizenship educational
project has been holding a five-
day workshop for teachers a t
Chapel Hill this week. Mrs.
Paul B. Fry and Mrs. Mazel Lyke
are representatives from A. H. S.
who have been sent not only to
learn the present program, but
also to supply ideas for making
the program better.
The Associated Public School
system was founded three years
ago at Columbia university by a
group of superintendents. These
superintendents found that it
takes fifty years for a good edu
cational practice to be adopted
by a majority of the schools and
fifteen years to be adopted in
even three per cent of the
schools. The objective of the
association, therefore, is to cut
down the time lag between the
establishment of a good educa
tional practice and its adoption
by a majority of the schools.
This association also sponsors
other programs. At present, it
is sponsoring a citizenship edu
cational program founded by
Genera] Ike Eisenhower in an
attempt to'educate people about
democracy. This project is be
ing financed by the Carnegie
foundation, which has given in
the millions to it. The project
works through schools that arc
members of the Associated Pub
lic School systems.

James Lisk after checking his
