Senior Included In Group; Jordan Delivers Address. The Albemarle High School chapter of the National Honor Society received one senior and six juniors into its membership on Friday morning, March 5. Because the number of mem bers allowed the senior class was not filled at the fall tap ping, Dixie Schadt was tapped. Juniors Frances Litaker, Dic kie Cashwell, Joan Renger, Elaine Lowder, Bobby Peck, and Phyllis Greer were tapped into the society in an impressive ser vice. Their choice was based on the following standards: character, scholarship, leader ship, and service. The 16 members led by J. L. Cashwell, principal, and Rev. H, L. Jordan, speaker, formed the processional. Otty Lynn, president, presided during the entire service. The devotional was delivered by Sylvia Whit ley. Next was a trumpet solo, “Trixie Valse,” rendered by Dean Chandler. Otty Lynn introduc ed Rev. Jordan, who gave an interesting talk based on the four standards of the society. The tapping ceremony began with each member being tap- (Continued on Page 5, Col. 1) Proud of OHspring n/ld JLmw tbP next morning.

When everyone had received his ver dict, Mrs. Lyke got a running start, jumped on her stool and shouted “Go!” She quickly don ned her earphones and spy glasses — to detect the slight- ist thought of cheating -- and, perched high on her stool, gl^' ed at everyone in the room. The poor students gnawed pencils, tore at thfeir hair, beat their heads on the tables, and won dered “Why, oh why doesn t she fall off that stool!” Franchot Palmer finished his test and collapsed in his seat near the aquarium. He sat there faring into the aquarium at the ten thousand frog eggs he had lugged in several days before. further, his mouth dropped open, and he waved his arms frantic ally, but no words would come. Finally, he leaped up, grabbed Mrs. Lyke off her stool in one jerk, and shouted, “Come as fast as you can. We’re parents!” They fell all over the aqua- rrium but finally managed to look in and see tadpoles being shot out of eggs by the hun dreds! Well, so much for the test. By that time all the students were gathered around congratu lating the proud parents, Pa Palmer and Ma Lyke, and watching jthe rest of the off spring being sprung. The poor goldfish were scared half to death during the bombardment, but managed to survive and they shivered only when someone breathed.
