Webb Chosen Head Coach
Annual Shrine Bowl Game
H. T. “Toby” Webb will be
head coach of the North Caro
lina football squad in the an
nual Shrine Bowl game to be
played on December 6.
The single wing formation,
which has been used with great
success by Webb, will be us^ in
the Shrine Bowl game. This is
the first time a coach has used
the single wing in eight years.
Webb coached the Optimist
Bowl in 1950 and was head coach
of the West All-Stars in the
North Carolina All-Star game in
1950.
He was Coach of the Year in
1953 and 1955.

dogs to 97 wins since coming to
Albemarle in 1947. The Bulldogs
have won their last 16 games.
He has led the Bulldogs to five
conference crovras, three Pied
mont championships, and two
Western North Carolina Athletic
Activities Association champion
ships. The second came when
Marion was beaten 54-6. ,
“It’s a great honor,” said Webb
“I regard the Shrine Bowl as the
highest pinnacle of prep football
in the Carolinas.”
Born in Tarboro, the 38-year-old
Webb has a master’s degree from
the University of North Carolina
where he played football under
Jim Tatum in 1940-42.
He is the principal of the Al
bemarle Junior High School.
Norwegian Exchange Student
Describes Lite In Native Land
Would you like to go to school
six days a week, take sixteen
different subjects a year, and be
without a cafeteria or home
room?
This is the way it would be
if you went to Torger Hetland’s
high school in Norway. Torger
is the new Norwegian exchange
student who is living with Dr.
and Mrs. Dennis B. Fox while he
is here. He came to America pri
marily to learn more about Amer
ica and how we live and act.
U. S. History, typing, sociology,
English, and mixed chorus take
up most of Torger’s time in
school. The credits which he
earns here are not good towards
his diploma in Norway.
Radio is popular in Norway,
but they don’t have television.
Radio U. S. is a favorite pro
gram. Before coming to Amer
ica, Torger had never eaten corn
or butter beans and had never
drunk iced tea. They usu^ly
drink hot tea, coffee, or milk, pa
per plates were also something
new to Torger. , , ,
Rock and roll is well-liked by
the Norwegians, but calypso is
gradually becoming more pop
ular. Torger is an ardent ]aM
fan and he has two bands to
prove this point. He can also
play the saxaphone and bass
fiddle.
BY THEIR WORDS
“I’m going on a diet to gain
weight.”—^Marie Snuggs.
“Let’s sing ‘Turkey in the
Slaw’.”—^Mr. Fry.
“I like that dress you have
on better every year.”—^Max Mor
gan.
“There are three ways of doing
things—^the right way, the wrong
way, and my way.”—Mrs. West
erlund.
“Have you ever watched the
clouds while walking around ly
ing on your back?”—^Woody Dur
ham.
In Norway there are two classes
of teen-agers, the school class
and the working class. To be
able to drive a car, you must be
eighteen years old, but .a motor
scooter license is available when
a person is sixteen. Girls in Nor
way wear make-up only on spe
cial occasions, not to school.
Torger is all for going steady
and is going steady himself. Cus
toms of going steady are differ
ent in Norway from the customs
in America. Boys don’t date a
girl to a dance unless they are
going steady with her. Nor
wegian teen-agers go hiking;
scootBF riding, skiing, and to thG
movies for fun.
One sister, 13, a brother 15, and
his parents make up Torger’s
family. His future plans are to
be a doctor. When asked why he
wanted to come to America he
said he had heard and read much
about it, and it is the dream of
every Norwegian boy one day to
come to America.

Fifty-seven and one-half per
cent of the graduating class of

gone into nurse’s training, busi
ness schools, technician’s scliools,
and other such schools.
Many different scholarships
were received, amounting to $26,-
000, by various members of the

vided up evenly among the 120

Each wing has two floors with
six classrooms on each floor. The
classrooms have green boards,
either green and pink or blue and

wall-to-wall windows and new
desks. The rooms on the upper
floors have sky lights.
As one walks in the front door,
he enters the huge lobby. In it
are modern lights and stairs,
leading to the corridors. Each
corridor has a water cooler and
a wall clock.
The auditorium opens out of
the lobby. The walls of this are
green and the floor is elevated.
It has a large stage and modern
lighting. Seven hundred and
twenty-one students can be seat

the food is served.
The student lounge is to the
east of the cafeteria.
A student store is being in
stalled, and furniture is yet to
come. It will be mainly a place
of recreation.
The gymnasium is entered from
the, student lounge. The score

Snake Charming
Latest AHS Class?
A snake again visited the Gar
den of Eden. This time it was
the AHS building. Instead of Ad
am and Eve's fighting over who
was to blame because the snake
got them in trouble, three girls
arriving early Wednesday morn
ing were frantically trying to find
someone to get rid of the visitor.
Mr. Snake was a black beauty,
about six feet long and thorough^
ly enjoying the cool, sliding com
fort of the new hall.
While Cynthia Efird and Linda
Barnes stood guard in the hall,
Nancy Coggins went in search of
the janitor. Calvin was finally
located.
With a stick and a box the hero
approached the hissing snake.
All the time he was talking to
it: “Now yo’ ain’t mad at me, is
you snake? It won’t do yo’ much
good nohow!”
Thanks to Calvin, Mr. Snake
was boxed up and taken again
to the biology lab, from which
he had escaped.
