3 Scrapbooks
Donated To AHS
Mrs. G. D. B. Reynolds has do
nated to the A.H.S. library three
scrapbooks containing useful clip
pings about North Carolina his
tory.
Mrs. Reynolds, who is keenly in
terested in local history, prepared
these scrapbooks when she was
the North Carolina State histo
rian of the Daughters of Colonial
Wars.
Information which the scrap
books contain dates back as far
as the Civil War. Many interest
ing facts about different counties
are included in these books. There
are not only geographical facts in
them but also articles dealing
with politics of earlier days.
Eighth And Ninth Grades
Like School The Most
Teachers Share
Tricks Of Trade
A “Workshop for Math and
Science teachers of Stanly Coun
ty,” was held at Albemarle high
school, February 9, under the di
rection of Mrs. Mazel Lyke.
The program emphasized shar
ing teaching ideas with each other
to enable teachers to give the
greatest help to students. No ad
vanced or technical science was
discussed. Talks were given by
teachers from almost every school
in the county.
A talk by R. C. Hatley on “Let’s
Do What We Can With What We
Can Scrape Up” was a highlight
of the program.,
Leslie: “What’s that crawling
on the wall?”
Doug: “A lady bug.”
Leslie: “Gad, what eyesight!”
THE PHYSICS CLASS was dis
cussing the physics exam. Mr.
Hatley, talking to a few partic
ular students, commented:
“Now take Morris (Rogers) for
example. I don’t believe that
hot dogs are' very stimulating
mentally.”
