However, Miss Caughman doesn’t confine her interest only to sports, but she also takes part in many other activities. (Continued in cols. 4 and 5) ^hei^ - Cpii6cho6 LINDA WHITLEY “What is the biggest headache about working in the library and what do you enjoy most?” This was a question asked of the lib rary assistants and here are some of the answers: “The biggest headache is peo ple Who expect you to do every thing at one time.

SUMMER READING During the entire school year the library has been a very busy place. Students have been using all types of reference materials for their class work in English, science, history, home economics, Bible, geography, and health. Just sit down and think about what the library means to you. It helps you with your classroom assignments. It provides you with books and magazines for re ference work or for pleasure read ing. It, secures the films, film strips, and records to supplement the text books and make the courses more interesting. The people who have gained the most help from the library this year are those who have taken ad vantage of all these materials. The summer months would be a good time to get ahead with some of your parallel reading for English class, a time when you can sit down and really enjoy reading some books. Here are a few suggestions: “All American” by Tunis. “Ambitious Guest” by Haw- tome. “Happy Mountain” by Chapman. “David Copperfield” by Dickens. “Pride and Prejudice” by Ajust- en. “Standish of Standish” by Aust in. “Windswept” by Chase. “Pilgrim’s Progress” by Buny- an. “Kim” by Kipling. “In His Steps” by Sheldon. “Ramona” by Jackson. “Thunderhead” by O’Hara. “Paradise Lost” by Milton. “Virginian” by Wister. “Last of the Mohicans” by Coop er. “Light That Failed” by Kipling. “Lantern in Her Hand” by Aid- rich. “Kenilworth” by Scott. “Adventures in Friendship” by Grayson. “With a book for every mood— the old books that have fired the imagination and blazed the trails for one’s dreams, and the new ones that breathe the spirit of the modern age and yet keep it with in bounds—the child has a herit age that will make its future safe.”—William Frederick Bige low.

CAMPUS CHATTER Dear Friend, This is the last time I’ll bore you with my nonsensical ramblings, for soon I’ll be gone. I’ve become so attached to the Class of ’5' that I’ll just hop around from U.N.C. W.C., Lenoir Rhyne, East Caro lina, High Point, Presbyterian Hospital and others all next year try ing to keep up with the news. Trust these sedate seniors to finish up the year with a bang! Did you hear about Lulabelle and Eddie F. (her date for the Honor Society picnic) running out of gas? If they hadn’t been so worn out from jitterbugging they would have thought to check the gauge- Robert -L. came with Peggy Smith to the picnic, and that was just the beginning, i^verytime you walk down the halls at A.H.S. noW you are likely to see them in deep conversation, and it doesn’t look as if the topic is anything connected with education, book-kind I mean. During the past weeks pictures of the Junior-Senior Prom have been very much in evidence. Should have some good ones for the. annual next year. Seniors are still carrying around their annuals getting last minute signatures and solemn thoughts recorded. I’ve seen some of them looking a little sad and forlorn as they realize that graduation is just a matter of days away. It just doesn’t make sense for these guys and gals to fuss and gripe about school for four yeai| and then turn drippy over getting a diploma. Even Eldon has calmed down and is wearing a dazed expression these days. The Senior Banquet was lovely, and Burnie did his class prouo in the way that he presided. Jamaica Farewell made an interesting theme and was reflected in the mural and all decorations. The usual steady couples made their farewell appearance at a high schoo* function. David and Jeanette, Janis and Punk, Myrn*i and Q, Ann and Gerry were there in all their glory. The senior boys who date underclass lassies all sat down near the piano so that they could get a good view of the Junior Waitresses. I heard that the party held at Moose’s cabin was a “knockout”. I understand that the parents were all deep in slumber when the party-goers straggled home. ^ Most birthdays just mean another year to acknowledge, but to Frances Little it meant more. She came to school the next day wear ing a lovely diamond, and I understand that it’s to be a June wedding- Looks like we have a number of our girls getting an MRS. degree this summer. Sylvia Davis passed her test and is going to Washington, D. to work for the Navy for awhile before she gets married. Jewel Bunting just found out that she qualified to go to U.N.C. to study^ to be a dental assistant. Having a tooth filled could almost be a pleasure with Jewel close by. Some dentist is going to be a lucky fellow. Larry Lisk, John Renger, Don Taylor and Gene Langley have been keeping extra close to their girls these days. They have also been eyeing the Junior boys, trying to estimate their competitive qualities. It’s going to be tough to leave Martha, Peggie, Gail and Becky to run loose next year. Never has ‘Albemarle seen more excitement than during the Centennial. Our Betsy Kluttz won out as the Queen, and A.H.S. was well represented in the pageant, Milestones. Toby Webb’s football team got a chance to whoop and stomp as Indians, and the Cheei’' leaders held their own as Can-Can Girls. I expected to see Janis» Barbara and Myrna stop in the middle of the dance and lead a cheer for the Bulldogs. Punk, David, Charlie, Gene and Burnie have been playing tennis , over at Tommy Hearne’s. Those* boys just have to be flexing their muscles in one way or another. The seniors are all busy going to town to collect the many gifts that the local stores are giving them. They are also making lists of the things that they want for graduation presents. I am expect ing to get invitations from at least half of the class, but being fj' nancially insolvent I’ll just have to send them my love, “Sparky’ TEACHER OF THE MONTH (Continued from cols, 1 and 2) The seniors especially appreciate all the hard work she does as sponsor for their class. Through her patient guidance they have been able to make their senior year a success. Miss Caughman, who teaches math, has almost every student A. H. S. at sometime before he graduates. The fine grades the alumni make in mafti at college indicate that she does an excellent jo^- We take our hats off to you. Miss Caughman, and hope that someday you may know just how much we, the student body, appreci ate the interest, friendship, love, and sincerity you show to every one of us.
