Eight outstanding members of
the junior class were tapped into
the National Honor Society at
the annual spring tapping, Fri
day, April 11.
The students who were tapped
were Jo Parks, Billie Jo Barrier,
Janice Morris, Lane Brown, Ann
Smith, Nancy Jo Ivester, Martha
Smith, and Jimmie Miller.
Preceding the tapping, Yvonne
Chandler presented a short de
votional. Brief speeches on the
ideals of the society were made
by Wade McSwain, Peggie Sue
Lisk, Martha Huckabee, and
Becky Coble. After the tapping
Superintendent Claud Grigg ad
ministered the oath to the new
members.

clubs, including the Modern Mu
sic Masters Society.
Billie Jo Barrier has been an

pard.
Does the breakfast that one
eats have anything to do with
what he becomes?
Two reporters, set the task of
finding out, interviewed athletes,
musicians, honor roll students,
and just plain people.
Joe Miller, pitcher of a no-hit
ter, never misses a well-balanced
breakfast consisting of an egg, a
couple pieces of bacon, milk,
toast, and maybe jelly.
Honor Society members, writers,
and debaters show variety in
their breakfasts. Sue Winn and
Lane Brown like eggs, bacon, and
orange juice or milk. Myra Car
penter usually eats cake. When
asked what she eats, Jo Parks ex
claimed, “I don’t!”
The faculty members also have
to eat. Mrs. Westerlund likes her
frozen waffles, coffee, and orange
juice for breakfast. Wheaties,
eggs, and bacon, or grits with hot
chocolate or milk and sometimes
coffee, is the ideal breakfast for
Mr. Hatley.
Want to be a good wrestler?
Well, according to A1 Fusonie you
should eat bacon, eggs, milk, and
cereal, which must have bananas
on it. Kenny Furr recommends
an egg, orange juice, and Whea
ties. , ^ ^
Peggy Smith, student president,
prefers a boiled egg and toast
and loves cake to begin her day.
Omitting the eggs, Jimmy Kluttz,
junior class president, eat^ the
usual breakfast of bacon, toast,
oatmeal, and milk.
Artists such as Marney Low-
der, Sammie Holshouser, and Rita
Morris like eggs, bacon or maybe
ham, toast, coffee or milk, and
Rita must have her vitamin tab
lets.
Pam Treecq, Libbie Hatley, and
Jerry Lou Holbert, great assets to
the music department of AHS,
have a well-rounded breakfast.
Pam has variety breakfasts, but
her favorite is waffles, orange
juice, and bacon. Libbie has eggs,
bacon, milk and juice, toast, not
to mention the jelly. Jerry Lou
has a light breakfast of cereal
and orange juice.
James “Jungle” Johnson eats
the usual things for l^reakfast,
only more of them. He has pan
cakes or a couple eggs with grits,
meat (bacon, sausage, or ham),
bread, and a couple glasses of
milk.
Ann Bell, a typical ninth
grader, likes only toast for break
fast, unless she can eat a bacon
sandwich.' David Stiller, a tenth
grader, on the contrary, always
eats toast, eggs, and coffee. Sara
Henderson has only a cup of cof
fee and Gale Whitfield likes sal-
tines with' peanut butter and
marshmallows.
These are only a few of the
usual or odd breakfasts of AHS
students.
Another 'Smith'
To Govern AHS
For the second consecutive
year a “Smith” will head the AHS
Student Council, only instead of
a dainty musician named Peggy,
it will be a husky football play
er named Roger, brother of the
Smith (Wade) who was president
in 1955-’56.
Six hundred and thirty stu
dents, an unusually large num
ber, registered to vote in the stu
dent elections which made Rog
er Smith president, Neil Efird,
vice-president; Suzie Napier, sec
retary; and Sherrill Williams,
treasurer of the AHS student body
for 1958-’59.
Elections were preceded by
campaign speeches, in which the
candidates for offices were pre
sented to the students.
Opponents of the winning can
didates were Jimmy Miller, presi
dent; Charles Brown, vice-presi
dent; Suzanne Swindell, secre
tary; and Bonnie Lowder, trea
surer.
The new officers will be in
stalled next fall, at which time
they will begin their official du
ties.
New Senior. High
Nearing Readiness
The new senior high school is
expected to be ready for occu
pancy in September, all except
the gym, according to Albemarle
School Superintendent Claud
Grigg.
Mr. Grigg also said that the
move to a system of junior and
senior high schools makes reor
ganization necessary.
Mr. J. L. Cashwell has been
named principal of the new sen
ior high school.
Mr. H. T. “Toby” Webb was
elected principal of the junior
high school, which will be locat
ed in the present high school
building. Mr. Webb will con
tinue to work with the football
team this fall, however.
The senior high school will con
sist of the tenth, eleventh, and
twelfth grades. The junior high
school will include the seventh,
eighth, and ninth grades.
The new building will cost in
excess of $750,000 and will be one
of the best equipped in this area.
