Oh, really I didn’t mean — well, I’m not very good but I love — whoops. I’m sorry! This is dancing? Lots of people call it that. Venturing into a teen-age dance some night a few of these characters might be recognized: “Rubber-necked Ann,” for instance, twists arid turns trying to see what everyone has on and simply must smile and speak to everyone. What a bold fellow her date must be! Then there’s always “Dangerous Dan.” A girl dancing with him has to wear brogans because he’s read somewhere that a good dancer twirls round a lot, in fact, he sets a girl spinning like a top. Watch it, he might get away! This should be told to “Clinging Clara,” who drops her arms about her date and closes her eyes as if in a quiet slumber. The other dancers wish that she’d stayed home in bed. Last but not least, there’s the local “Fred Murray” who simply must not do a dance like everyone else; he’s original. Taking the floor, he makes a grand spectacle, but when he’s finished — sorry, no applause. CongTats! We have many outstanding organizations and people at high school, and their excellent work has brought A.H.S. recognition from all over the state. ^ Recently several others have been in the news. Our congrat ulations go to them: Our negative debating team, composed of Patricia Starnes and Jo Parks, for going into the state finals. The laasketball team for making such a fine showing in regular season play and at the SPC tournament in Concord. The seniors who have won scholarships to college next year. The awards are based upon scholarship, character, and achieve ments during high school. Our science department and Mr. Hatley for working hard to present an outstanding Science Fair, which is known all over the state for its beauty and interest in science. Mickey Green and Robert L. Smith for winning second and third places for their projects displayed in the District Science Fair. Our choruses and band for winning state-wide acclaim in their excellent showings in the contests in Salisbury. Ted Burleson for winning Superior in the state vocal contest and the Boys’ Quartet and Girls’ Ensemble for coming home with the highest ratings given. The FTA for giving future teachers the opportunity to become acquainted with their future occupations. Peggy Smith for her rating of Superior double plus in the piano auditions. The Bible. Club for its excellent promotion of religious edu cation. What's a Teacher? A machine with no heart? A warden that just tries to catch you doing something wrong? No, none of these, just a human being trying to teach something to the pupils of A.H.S. A teacher’s life is filled with school work, but that doesn’t keep the A.H.S. teachers from being very active in social and community life. As the students leave school every day they don’t realize that the teachers are still in their rooms working many hours after school lets out. Many teachers have families to tend to when they go home. Many of them have club meet ings where they are outstanding leaders. Most of the teachers at A.H.S.* are sponsors of clubs and ac tivities in the school besides teaching their regular classes. This part of their work is really appreciated by the students who belong to clubs. The churches of Albemarle have on their roll the names of many teachers at A.H.S. Taking an active part in church life, they are often found in the teaching position in Sunday School. “All work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy!” This would be true of teachers of A.H.S., too, but at the school dances the teachers will always be there. They won’t be sitting around the side but will be dancing with either their, husbands or wives or maybe with one of the pupils. Hats off to the well-rounded A.H.S. teachers! TEACHER OF THE MONTH Best known for his humor is Mr. R. C. Hatley, our Teacher of the Month. Because of his willingness to help out in all school activities, Mr. Hatley is always being called on for help. Little jobs like fixing the microphone and the spotlight are only a few of the things Mr. Hatley does. It is through his hard work that the football games are broadcast every year. Not only is Mr. Hatley a big help around our school, but many teachers from all over the state call on him for advice. Once a year the gym is decorated with general science, chem istry, and physics projects. Under the direction of Mr. Hatley every pupil turns in something from his year’s work. People from all over the state including college professors come to our little town because they know that anything Mr. Hatley works with is a sure sign of good work. Although Mr. Hatley leads a busy school life, he always has time for his wife and two daughters. Library News By JEAN MORGAN If you have finished your re quired reading for this year, you may want to read some of the books on the two lists sent to you from the library recently. Or you may want to get these lists from the library to select some books for your summer reading. These lists are: “Books Every Child Should Know,” and “The College Literature Profes sors’ list of Books Every Student Should Read Before Entering Col lege.” Several of the students have already asked for the sec ond of these lists to use during the summer months. New Additions Some of the most recent ad ditions to the library are as fol lows: “Golden Journey,” by Mrs. Agnes Turnbull, which was pre sented to the high school library by Mrs. Pauline Helms in mem ory of Mrs. Carter’s Mother. “Maid of Israel,” by Talbert N. Ingram, was presented by the Albemarle High School Bible Club in memory of Loretta Thomas. This is the story of a young Israelite Maiden in the slave market who wasn’t afraid to pray to her God even though she wasn’t a citizen of Damascus. Belk’s Department Store gave a book to the library. It is “Wil liam Henry Belk, Merchant of the South,” by LeGette Blythe. This is the story of a southern farm boy, reared in the dark days of Reconstruction, who became a pioneer of modern merchandis ing ing in the South and built a small country store into a huge mercantile group of nearly three hundred establishments that now do a business of well over a hundred million dollars a year. Another recent addition is Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden; or Life In the Woods,” and other writings of Henry Da,vid Thoreau. Thoreau had a firm grip 6n the fact that what counts most is the inside of a man, that when he has made himself comfort able there, he can find harmo nies in the outer world. You should also enjoy the short biography of Thoreau, “To a Different Drum,” the story of Henry David Thoreau written by Charles Norman. Henry Thoreau built a hut in the woods with his own hands and lived in it for two years and two months. It was the great experience of his life, and from it came the masterpiece called “Walden.” The “Saturday Review” has many interesting book reviews. In the April 14 issue you will find two interesting articles on Albert Einstein and a review of the book, “The Singing Wilder ness,”'written by Sigurd F. Olson. It has to do with the calling of the loons, northern lights, and the great silences of a land ly ing northwest of Lake Superior. The “Saturday Review Maga zine No. 3” has a selection of ar ticles from Ma and Pa Kettle in Hollywood to Nobel prize winner Albert Schweitzer in Africa; from Rome, Italy, to a fishing lodge in the Canadian northwoods—there is something of interest for every taste. Lew Oietz has written some books which boys find very in teresting. One of these is “Jeff White; Forest Fire Fighter.” In this book Jeff finds more than fire to worry about, for in dis guise as an archeologist comes Jorgenson in quest of a cache of gold and does not stop short of vicious murder before Jeff and his friends help track him down in a smokeout climax. Another by Lew Oietz is “Jeff White; Young Guide.” In this book Jeff White proves his re sourcefulness and keen knowl edge of the woods as he unravels the mystery of a shooting and an unknown cave. Moose, Brooks Edit (Continued from Page 1, Col. 4) very reliable and does anything one asks of him. Business manager of the Cross roads, Robert L. Smith, has also won many other honors, such as the Academy of Science award in the District Contest and Honor able Mention in the state.. Robert was recently tapped into the Hon or Society for his high scholastic record and his services to the school.

CAMPUS CHAHER 'It’s almost the good ole summer time and students of A.H.S- are really getting the spirit because of many beach parties. Over the Easter holidays. Dotty Walker and Wade Smiths Mickey Greene and Peggy Furr, Edshay Brunson and Linda Moose» Betty Boone and Gerald Johnson, David Grigg and Jeanette Hinson> Joe Kluttz and Betsy King, all enjoyed the sand and sea on Edshay Brunson’s houseparty at Myrtle Beach. All that food, fun, and lack of sleep made for a glorious week-end. Ain’t that right, gang^ The biggest affair around A.H.S. lately was the never-to-be* forgotten Junior-Senior Prom, with “Rhapsody in Blue” as theme.

With all tb^ snooping that was going on the girls never did find out why the boys were always hiding in their rooms. What fun at th^ beach for a group of crazy Seniors! Meanwhile down at Crescent another Albemarle beach party was found which brought an old love affair into bloom agai^- Congratulations, Lane Lowder and Elizabeth Tucker! But let’s not forget that cute new couple, Susie Culp and Punk Gantt- Never can tell what the sand and sea will do. Kay Cauthei^ and Mickey Dry, Myrna Mills and Q. Smith seemed to have ^ good time playing miniature golf despite the sunburns. Right, Kay- Back in Albemarle, Franchot Palmer’s house was just the pl&^g for one of those early morning parties. Several sleepy couply found fun around a big open fire, eating, and doing a little halt' hearted dancing, and fighting over the easy chairs. Peggy Fu^^ and Mickey Green, Drag Kimrey and Carolyn Smith, Wade Smit^ and Dotty Walker thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Better be ^ little faster next time, Joe Kluttz and Betsy KingJ The shoe shop did a rushing business over the prom week-en^ mixing all those blackberry milk shakes, and much gas was use^ making those trips north. .

Seen together at this big occasion were Kitty Almon^ and George Lowder, Tommy Murrell and Judy Efird, MartlJ,^ Setzler and Wheaties Richardson, Janice Harris and Reggie Crowel^: Yvonne Davis and Doug Kearns. These along with all the seemed to be having a ball. Afterwards, Dianne Watkin’s houS^ was the gathering place for a party. Thanks to the Freshmen also for. making some fun on Frid^J^ night with your Freshman Fling. Well, it seems as if this has been the month of many shindigs around A.H.S. Be careful and stay cool and calm, cause we’ll be back with our final session of chatter next mont^'
