Servant Of Education
Who for the past 25 years has led a ceaseless fight against
ignorance with the mighty weapon, education, in Albemarle?
The answer to the above question is very obvious because the
person that has done this is Claud Grigg.
Albemarle citizens can be justly proud of such a man. Mr.
Grigg is not seen in classrooms every day and not heard over
the public address system giving helpful warnings, but he is
just as important to the students’ 12 successful years of school.
When Mr. Grigg accepted the position as superintendent, the
Albemarle educational facilities consisted of only four schools.
Today there are seven schools, including the modern Albemarle
Senior High School. The school personnel has increased from 66
to 178. These are just two examples of the advancements which
have been made under Mr. Grigg’s leadership. They would only
be a beginning of a long list of his achievements.
Mr. Grigg has held many offices in the North Carolina Educa
tion Association. Being a life member of the National Educa
tion Association and a member of the American Association of
School Administration are just a few of his professional achieve
ments.
He has been highly admired and respected for his work
at the Central Methodist Church as Sunday School Superintendent,
teacher, and member of the Board of Stewards. He has also
been Rotary president.
Mr. Grigg is one person to whom every > Albemarle school
pupil owes many thanks. He is open-minded toward their prob
lems. Students who leave Albemarle will always remember him
as the man with the helping hand to those in need of an educa
tion.
Thanks, Mr. Grigg, for a job well done!
We Passed Test With Flying Colors
Anyone can be a graceful winner, but the real test of good
sportsmanship is to lose and still hold your head high. The Bull
dogs, the student body, and the city passed this test with fly
ing colors.
Only one team can win, and this time it just happened to
be the opposing team. The Bulldogs were striving, for their
hundredth victory under Coach Toby Webb, but this just wasn’t
the time. Even though they knew they must lose some day,
it was a blow to everybody.
Even after the loss to Harding, everyone held his head high
and talked of the splendid spirit and playing of the boys. All
were unhappy, some were shocked, and some even shed tears,
but all in all they showed very good sportsmanship. Congratula
tions to A.S.H.S. and Albemarle for the fine spirit shown.
Bulldogs, we’re proud of you for playing a great game, as
you always do!
It’s better to be a good loser than a poor winner.
Students Find Transportation
A Problem
Books Alive
Books, magazine, and news
paper articles on Alaska, the
forty-ninth state, are being fea
tured in the library.
The jackets of some of the most
recent books written on Alaska
are in the display case in the li

This year’s Library Club con
sists of two groups; nine library
assistants, who file and check
out books—Virginia Thompson,
Charles Surratt, Claudette Wil-
hoit. Sue Stone, Priscilla Burris,
and Jimmy Thompson; and fif
teen library representatives, who

Morris, Florence Morton, Loretta
Knowling, Willie Page, Roger
Morris, Jimmy Thompson, Gale
Clark, Charles Surratt, Ann Bell,

The library is taking the Sun
day edition of the New York
Times. The paper contains over
190 pages.
Fashion news and notes are
included for the well-dressed
young lady. New Broadway
plays are received, and television
programs for the week are listed.
A page is devoted to coin and
stamp collections. Book reviews
are given on the latest books.
Dear Editor,
One of the biggest problems
now facing Senior High students
is transportation. Since the
school is located on the extreme
north side of town, it is conven
ient to only a few. The ma
jority of the students have to
arrange a ride. Car pools have
been formed, and taxi services
are being used. Many .students
cannot get into a pool or arrange
for a ride, and have to drive the
family car. This, in many cases,
is creating a problem at home,
as many parents need their cars
to get to work.
It seems to me some thought
should be given to'a bus service
to relieve our transportation
problems. The city bus service
was discontinued some years ago
and I think a town the size of
Albemarle should have a bus ser
vice. Why doesn’t some group
of business men consider the idea
of reviving the city bus service?
With the new business they
would receive from senior high
students, it would be a paying
proposition and help solve our
transportation problems as well.
Sincerely,
JOE COPLEY
Inquiring Reporter
What Is the Meanest Thing You Have Ever
Done on Halloween Night?
Dear Editor,
I am a seventeen-year-old girl
and a senior at the new senior
high school. I have a problem of
school every day. My father and
mother both work and cannot
take me, so I either have to walk
(It’s only four miles from my
home to school) or ride a taxi.
This also brings about a prob
lem. The taxi is late some morn
ings and therefore I’m' late get
ting to school. There are lots of
other students that live close by
me that have the same problem.
I can’t quite figure out why
they built the school so far away
and do not supply the students
with ways of getting there. Some
of the students, of course, live
close enough that they could
walk and others have • cars of
their own that they drive. I
think the school board should
take into consideration us un
fortunate ones that have to walk.
Why couldn’t they arrange to
run a city bus around and pick
us up?
If they could send a city bus
after us it would not only save a
great deal of worrying but would
save on the parents’ pocketbooks
as well.
Yours truly,
DELORES HOPKINS

Teacher Of Month
Strike up the band, and im
mediately. you recognize the
teacher featured this month, Mr.
Tommy Hauss.
Born a twin, he also married a
twin and is now the father of a
fifteen-month-old son, Wilson.
He is a graduate of Appala
chian State Teachers College and
served in the Army for two years.
He was a member of the band
during his military term.
Being co-sponsor of the M.M.M,
and an adviser to a Hi-Y Club, he
has given much of his time to
help students. Of course his main
talent is the direction of the AHS
band. His fine work with this
group has brought him admira
tion and respect from> all who
know him.
Students of ASHS, give a large
fanfare to Mr. Tommy Hauss, a
credit to the school and faculty.
CAMPUS CHATTER
As school finally gets in full swing the students are getting
into about as much mischief as usual.
Susie Napier seemed to have spent a lot of time at the hos
pital lately. Maybe as an assistant nurse in room 449?
There was a rumor that there was a midnight visitor at Linda
Efird's slumber party. Some prominent senior boy came barging
in on some mighty sleepy senior girls. We’re only sorry he had
to bring bad news about Linda Curlee's broken collar bone.
Wonder why Jo Parks is enjoying football games a lot more
than she used to? Could it be she’s walking number "21" off the
field?
Ann Whitley has been keeping the juniors occupied having
parties. Roger and Bonnie, Pam and NeiL and Landis and Jimmy
seem to enjoy themselves very much.
Billie Jo Barrier had a very happy eighteenth birthday. The
sparkler on her left hand will tell you why.
Eddie Crutchfield can’t seem to keep away from the Sopho
more class. As a result, Pam Treece is walking on cloud “9” once
again.
It looks like Jan Barrier and Priscilla McSwain enjoy dating
in that Cadillac from Norwood, We can’t say that we blame
them.
Everybody is wondering where Eunice Lee got that red “E”.
Could it be from Endy?
Frankie Hatley is keeping everybody guessing as to whether
it will be Torger or Pep. We hope she’ll make-up her mind soon
so the other girls, can have a chance.
Wonder why Nancy Coggins goes from Honor Society Hall to
Mr. Frazier’s study hall during fifth period every day. There must
be something very interesting up there!
Lois Shaver is really looking forward to the Rockingham foot
ball game. It seems her steady moved there last year.
Several new couples are enjoying walking down the halls to
gether. Right — Jerry Bell and Barbara Sherrin, Bob Frick and
Brenda Herrin, Max Rabon and Jo Ann Holt, and Jimmy Eudy and
Juanita Lambert?
The new Honor Society members all had a marvelous time at
their first party. Those who especially had a good time were
Josh Morton and Janice Morris, Drip Kimrey and Shelby Thomas,
Jimmy Kluttz and Jane Chandler, George Harwood and Nancy
Jo Ivester, Eddie Davis and Linda Curlee, Chip Cain and Judy
Redfern, and Lane Brown and Micky Doby.
Paul Carpenter has been seen on the first floor between classes
pretty regularly these days. Wonder why a certain senior girl
can’t keep him on second floor?
The football players have been thinking about their spon
sors since hoi^iecoming is just around tthe corner. A few of the
lucky ones that have b^een asked are Susie Napier, Charles Brown;
Pat Saunders, Wayne Spivey; Ann Whitley, Dudley Roach; and
Ann Taylor, David Scar boro. Boys, you better get busy; the time
is nearing. /
See you next issue. —^THE SNEAKERS.
