Hello again, and a good De
cember to you! I think we have
some good little anecdotes and
jokes for this month. Hope you
like ’em, anyway!

A fellow walked into a doctor’s
office and said, “Doctor, I feel
terrible. I want you to give me
a thorough examination.”
The doctor said, “Fine. .First
let me ask you a few questions.
“Go right ahead,” said the
man.
“First, do you drink much
liquor?”
“I have never touched the vile
potation.”
“Uhuh. Do you smoke?”
“I’ve never touched the filthy
Weed!”
“Do you run around much
nights?”
.“I am in bed every night by
nine o’clock for a fine night s
sleep!”
“How about women?”
“They have no fascination for
me.”
, “Uhuh. Tell me, do you have
sharp pains in the head?”
That’s just it! I have terribly
sharp pains in the head.”
That’s your trouble — Your
nalo’s on too tight!”

Geometry Class
Honors Teacher
The five members of Miss
Tucker’s solid geometry class
honored her with a birthday par
ty last Friday.
The students went to the Stu
dent Lounge to honor their
teacher on her 25th birthday.
To start the party, Miss Tuck
er blew out all the candles with
the help of Martha Rae Harris.
Miss Tucker then cut the cake
as the students served ice cream,
peanuts and cokes.
Miss Tucker was presented
with a beautiful rose sweater,
which she immediately went up
stairs and put on.
The party was a real success
and after it was over, cake was
distributed to numerous teach
ers around school who had re

PETE ALMOND
It’s always a pleasure to meet
Fete Almond in the haUs. A
nice grin from this boy makes
the day seem brighter. Pete’s
gntire high school career has
been' one of service and leader
ship to his fellow students.
One of the biggest jobs in
school is his. As prGsidGut of
the entire student body, Pete is
a busy boy, and yet he has found
time for numerous other extra
curricular activities. After en
tering the intramural sports of
the school whole-heartedly in
the past years, he now holds the
position of first string guard on
the basketball team. He seems
to be quite a whiz ^
too, for he was the Y.M.C A.
champion of that sport in Albe
marle and Kannapolis. Base
ball, football,' horseshoes, and
even dancing come under his list
of favorite pastimes.
This outstanding senior serv
ed as vice-president of the stu
dent body last year and is now
well prepared for his 30b of pres
ident this year. It was no sur
prise to see Pete tapped into the
National Honor Society this fall,
because even with his extra
curricular work, he maintains a
high scholastic average.
When Pete received the troply
vear as the most outstand
ing intramural athlete, he ac
cepted it with the modesty that
is so becoming to him. This trait
as well as that of being such a
fine sport rates Pete as one of
the most well-liked boys in
^ Pete served as commencement
marshal in the tenth grade and
last vear had the honor of being
chief marshal for the ceremon-
In talking to Pete we find that
he likes so many things it would
be hard to list them all, but
when it comes to food he says,
“Give me fried chicken and ba
nana pudding and 111 be hap-
nv ” When Piper Laurie and
Tony Curtis are on the screen,
he’ll more than likely be watch
ing for they’re his favorite stars.
Asked what class he enjoys
most he replied, “Mixed Chorus-

BETTIE GANTT
Christmas is always the time
for everyone to receive some
thing that they want, but I think
everyone will agree that Bettie
Gantt has about everything any
one could possibly want, includ
ing a friendly disposition and
darling personality, and she’s
also one of the wittiest girls
around Albemarle High School.
All through high school Bettie
has shown an interest in all the
clubs. She has been in the
Booster’s Club for five years, and
this year she was elected presi
dent. If you’ve been wondering
who was responsible for the
most successful homecoming
AHS has ever had, it was all due
to Bettie’s initiative and hard
work. Also she has been in the
Dramatics Club for two years
and in her senior year she had
a leading role in the play,
“Scrambled Eggs,” in which she
was quite a hit.
As if this weren’t enough, Bet
tie was president of the junior
Tri-Hi-Y last year and has been
a delegate to the conference for
the past two years. This fall
she was tapped into the Nation
al Honor Society, and we all

up in the business world, or
maybe even high up, flying a
jet plane in the air force. His
future plans are rather unde
cided at present.
As we look at the versatility
and character of Pete Almond,
the reason for the choice of this
month’s Who’s Who is plain to
see.
agree that she was one of the
most deserving for this honor.
Last year Bettie was a mem
ber of the varsity basketball
team, and also was secretary of
the Speakers' and Writer’s Club.
She took an active part in the
student radio programs, too.
This year Bettie is on both the
Full Moon and annual staffs,
and is a member of Mixed Cho
rus.
On the subject of food, spa
ghetti tops the list of her favor
ites. Susan Hayward takes the
spotlight as far as actresses are
concerned, and any picture star
ring Jeff Chandler will always
find Bettie in the audience.
If the boy is tall, blonde, and
blue-eyed, has a good person
ality and is generally well-liked,
then he is Bettie’s idea of the
ideal man. (Any application?)
The college that gets “Sweet
ie” next year will be W. C. and
then on to Carolina for her last
two years. Her sparkling per
sonality will draw many friends,
and her presence will do honor
to AHS while she’s in school.
