Fry Taking It Fox Gzanted? Fall has put in its very best colors and has come out in the finest array seen in many years. Leaves of every hue imagin able cover the trees in a “coat of many colors” while others have started shedding their boughs and covering the ground. Amidst all these beautiful scenes, do you think of the wonders of fall at anytime, or are you more concerned about what you’ll wear tomorrow or if you can get your homework up in home room period? In this world of controversies and daily problems, we should stop taking nature for granted and pause for a little each day to admire the beauties of this season and to thank God that we have the eyes to see the wonders of fall! Tzaining Room The AHS football team is in bad need of a training room. When games are played and ankles have to be wrapped and taped, much time is lost because of lack of space. We think that if we had more room, we could better heal our injuries such as sprained ankles, pulled muscles, and charlie horses. This would give the coaches a place to store athletic equipment when not in use. The room just the other side of the showers would make an ideal training room. It is now used for laying brick by the Vet erans’ Trade School. They could be easily moved outside. The coaches of AHS will do well to push this forward so that more and better teams can be built and injuries can be better healed. Be Ready For College Day College Day will be coming to AHS soon, and seniors who expect to go to college should be ready to take full advantage of the day and decide which college has the best to offer for their particular interests. Last year thirty-nine representatives came, and as many or maybe more are expected to come this year. Seniors should find out what advantage different colleges have for them, and they should speak to more than just a few representatives so that the colleges may be compared. College Day at Albemarle high school can be very profitable to the students if they will strive to find out all that they can. Many graduates of 1951 picked their colleges as a result of Col lege Day last year. So think, ask questions, and talk with representatives of colleges you may be interested in, and it will pay great dividends. A Gieat Team “Albemarle’s got a fine cheering section,” commented one of the Kannapolis cheerleaders. Yes, school spirit in AHS has been better this year than it has been in a long time. Most of the students come out to every football game and cheer the team onward. We wish it were pos sible to say every student comes instead of most, however. A great many Albemarle students never come to any of our football games. Perhaps they think the games are boring or maybe they’d just rather do something else. These students, besides show ing lack of school spirit, are missing out on a lot of fun. Then there are some people who come to the games, but never yell. These people would find that if they began yelling for the team they would find the game much more exciting. We feel the Albemarle Bulldogs are a great team and we urge everyone to come out and support them, because we know, whether winning or losing, they are always in there doing their very best. Letters to Editor Inquiring Reporter Question: Describe your dream boy or girl. Dear Editor: Several new rules have been made in our school this year con cerning the people who are tardy or absent without an excuse. If one is absent or tardy, he is to get from the office a permit to get into class. These rules some times disturb everyone in school because they do not understand them. It is usually the same people who do not obey the rules and get to their classes on time. No matter how many rules a school has, these people will pay little attention to them. On the other hand, no matter how few rules a school has, the majority of stu dents are going to act as they should. When we consider these things, we wonder why rules are made for such thoughtless and incon siderate people. Why should everyone be handicapped be cause of a few who don’t care? Sincerely yours, MARGARET GRIFFIN. Dear Editor, Why is everyone going around fussing about having to stay af ter school? Well, this letter will attempt to explain this. This statement does not mean that practically three-fourths of the entire school will be kept every afternoon after school. The rule is only that students who are absent or tardy, and who do not have a good excuse, will have to stay in after school in order to make up their work. This should not cause hard feel ings against the faculty mem bers, because they probably re gret the tas^ just as much as the students do. This situation came about only for the benefit of the students. Its purpose is to help the stu dents in keeping up with their work, which will help them to enjoy school more. Sincerely yours, JO ANN GRIFFIN. Library News Junior Library Club Junior Library club, composed of eighth graders, have elected the officers of their club.

Has anybody seen a yo-yo lately? Don’t ask foolish ques tions, you silly thing. Of course you have. Every time you turn around one is flying around in front of you. Some of the people who are in for this “mild” sport are getting pretty good at it. Watch Lowell Hartsell or Jimmy Johnson at sometimes! Rumor has it that there were some broken hearts after the choosing of the sponsors. But don’t feel too bad, girls. After all, your turn will come later. The postman is getting to be quite a popular fellow. Did you get any mail, “Starr”, Marilyn, and Carolyn M.? Hope so. Man, oh man, what a homecoming! For a lot of people’s money it was the best we have ever had. Did you have fun at the dance, Martha Rae, Margarette, and Ned Crisco? All of which reminds me, Ned, did you meet any new girls at the dance? This department heard that you did. Don’t let it get serious now, because all these Albemarle girls just couldn’t stand to see you fall for an out-of-town girl. Carolyn M. and Carolyn W., did you-all have a good time at State a couple of weeks ago? Shoot, why do some girls have all the luck? Maybe they have a lucky charm or something. Will somebody ask Paul Haire why he has so much fun on the band trips. Everytime you see him he is raving about hoW much fun he does have. What is her name? The newest thing around school is typing to music. I am trying to do it right now and it is very interesting. Wonder what would happen if they tried to type to Sixty-Minute Man ot something like that. FLASH, EXTRA, AND HOLD THE PRESS. Marlene Harrington is the proud possessor of a diamond. No kidding, she got it last Friday night. Congratulations, Marlene. Guess what, Albemarle high school has a genuine love triangle* Bobbie Eudy can’t make up her mind between Frank Burrell and Lanny Ellis. “Which one is going to be the lucky guy? Only Bobbie knows. Since study hall “ain’t” no more, it looks like Joe Clayton’^ car is the morning and dinner hang-out for almost all the foot ball team. Almost any day now you can see Doug, Leslie, Claude La whom, Jimmy Brown, Bill Huckabee, Keith Byrd, and Ralpl^ piling out to let Ann Reeder take over the front seat, and about 50 other girls pile in the back. More fun. Helen Starr had one big week-e!nd this past week-end. Her man came home and man, oh man, what all happened! She still talking about it. This was better than a letter, huh “Starr”* All good things must come to an end and that applies to this column, (end of joke).
