GRIDIRON RECORD AMONG BEST;
BULLDOGS RATE HIGH IN STATE
A great amount of interest has
been noticed among students who
desire some facts about previous
years on the A.H.S. gridiron.
Since 1949, A.H.S. has lost only
seven games, and the teams have
not been defeated in conference
play in three years. The last
conference game lost was to Kan
napolis in 1952, this by the small
margin of 19 to 14.
The 1949 Bulldogs had the least
successful of seasons during the
period between 1949-55, losing four
games. In 1950 the Bulldogs did
better, with nine games won. In
1951 they lost to Monroe 7-6, but
this game was forfeited, giving
A.H.S. a record of none lost, two
tied.
In 1953 the A.H.S. charges en
joyed one of the greatest years
in the school’s history, downing
everything in sight. This includ
ed taking an unforgettable game
with Belmont for the W. N. C. H.
S. A. A. championship.
In 1954 it was the same story,
'vith the exception of the post-sea
son game, which was lost to Lex
ington 19-14.

This year’s chapter is well
known. Any Albemarle citizen,
when on enemy territory, can hold
his head high and look anyone
square in the eye.
As you may well see, there
could be some running away of
the imagination as to the reason
for successful years.
Albemarle citizens may look to
the past with happiness for years
of plenty, and may look to the
fu-ture with hope. Truly A.H.S.
has seen football.
Band Is In Group
At UNC Halftime
Helping to brighten U.N.C.’s day
at the Tennessee game, the A.H.S.
band, along with fifty-five other
high school ban^, performed in
the halftime show at Kenan
Stadium.
Too many musicians were pres
ent for there to be enough room
for any formations, so each band
simply lined up across the width
of the field. Blue and white uni
forms were seen on the thirty-
three and one-third yard line,
sandwiched in between Reidsville
High’s blue and gold and Laurin-
burg’s Scotch kilts.
Five tunes, three played while
facing the U.N.C. stands and two
for the Tennessee spectators, were
performed by the 1500 musicians.
They were “The World is Waiting
for the Sunrise”, “Irish Tune”,
“Maninveen”, Tennessee’s “Alma
Mater”, and U.N.C.’s “Hark the
Sound.”
Mrs. Hauss and Miss Cross
chaperoned the band, while Wade
McSwain acted as property man.
