Students Don't Have Time!
WHO'S WHO

JIMMY KLUTTZ
How much time do the students
of ASHS really have to study?
Our roving reporters have in
quired among several students
about their opinions of home
work and extra-curricula activi
ties.
One of the questions asked
was: How many clubs do you
think that a student should be
long to and why? Janice Mor
ris and Mickie Doby seem to have
the same opinion on this. They
both think that Tri-Hi-Y, Bible
Club, FTA, Boosters Club, and
work on school publications is
about enough extra activity.
Johnny Almond thinks you can
join as many as you want as long
as you keep up with your school
work.
Is there such a thing as belong
ing to too many clubs? George
Harwood says that too many
clubs and activities can hinder
your ability to further your edu
cation. Judy Kluttz seems to be
opposing George. She says she
doesn’t think that one can join
too many if he uses his time
wisely. But it seems the major
ity of students do have so much
work to do that they stay on the
go all of the time.
How much time should one
take for school work outside of
school? Sara Henderson thinks
one should spend about two or
three hours on school work. But
the teachers don’t agree to that.
If each teacher expects a student
to spend at least one hour on
each subject, it would take a
good five hours of studying out
side of school work.
Had you rather have more work
during the week and none over
the weekend, or have it evenly
distributed throughout the week
and weekend? Torger Hetland
thinks that it would be better
to have more homework during
the week and none over the
weekend, because weekends are
holidays for students and are
needed for relaxation. Susan
Ausband goes along with the
same idea, because if a student
works hard in school all week
then he is entitled to some fun
and rest without the dread of a
weekend assignment to get done.
To sum it all up, the majority
of students want less activity
out of school and fewer clubs to
belong to unless one is willing
to cope with as many as he de
sires. Also more time is needed
over the weekend for enjoyment
and pleasures than for home
work. So teachers, be kind!
MMM To Attend
NCMEA Meeting
The Modern Music Masters
Club has been invited to put on a
demonstration at the fall meet
ing of the North Carolina Music
Educators Association in Greens
boro, November 17, according to
Mr. Fry.
The members will put on a
model initiation ceremony,
Mr. Fry, chairman of the choral
section of the association, will
be in charge of the program. Mu
sic educators from all over N. C.
will be present for this meeting,
which will be held at the O’Hen-
ry Hotel.
Senior Beauties
Represent ASHS
Miss Gail Vanderburg, the
lovely senior chosen Carrousel
Princess, was officially crowned
October 21 by a representative
from the Carolina’s Carrousel
Committee in the ASHS auditor
ium.
Miss Billie Rae Atkins was cho
sen Miss Merry Christmas, Oc
tober 23, by the senior class. She
will represent Albemarle Senior
High School in the Albemarle
Christmas parade some time the
latter part of November.
Music Brightens
Day For Students
Dreamy eyes may be seen in
any homeroom in school during
lunch and activity periods while
the students listen to music pro
vided by the Student Council over
the intercom.
A fee of one dollar per month
is charged for each homeroom
taking advantage of the music
program.
Although the music is appre
ciated by all, problems do arise.
It is hard to please 522 students
when their idea of good music
varies. Volume presents a prob
lem also.
The records are selected and
played by a Student Council com
mittee.
Did you guess who would be
the first tapped in the fall tap
ping of the National Honor So
ciety?
If you guessed Sue Tucker, you
were right. There are many rea
sons for this choice. Being edi
tor of the Annual is a big re
sponsibility and it keeps her
pretty busy. She is an active
member of the Boosters Club, the
FTA and the Tri-Hi-Y. In the
junior play, “Drums of Death”,
Sue played the comical part of
the crazy housekeeper.
Since Chemistry is her best
subject, she was chosen to at
tend the Junior Science Sympos
ium' last spring. Something a
lot of people didn’t know is that
Sue is the only semi-finalist
frorn Albemarle in the National
Merit Scholarship Program.
Rainbow is another activity in
which she has held several of-
flices. An active member in
church, she entered the Better
Speakers Tournament and took
first place throughout the State
of N. C. this summer.
Lying on the beach with a rec
ord player and a Nat King Cole
album with Charles would be a
perfect day for Sue.
After graduation. Sue plans to
attend Meredith, where she will
major in biology. Her pleasing
personality and determination to
reach high goals will take her
anywhere she wants to go in life.

Picture a hard working boy
with a cheerful smile and plenty
of school spirit, and who do you
have? Jimmy Kluttz, of course,
this month’s*Who’s Who.
Always interested in school
and community activities, Jim
my has taken part in many of
them.
Last year Jimmy was presi
dent of the Junior class and last
summer was a delegate to Boys
State. This year he holds the
important job of business man
ager of the CROSSROADS. These
are honors which come to few
boys and only the most deserv
ing.
Jimmy has participated in
many different organizations. He
is a member of the Senior Mixed
Chorus, a member of the Hi-Y
and of the Monogram Club. He
has shown his interest in sports
by being an outstanding member
of the wrestling team. He is a
member of the Central Metho
dist Church and also holds the
office of Fourth Preceptor in De-
Molay. Besides his work with
the CROSSROADDS and job as
sports writer for the FULL MOON,
he has a radio program on Sun
day afternoons over WABZ to keep
him even busier.
For a perfect day just load his
car with a crowd of young peo
ple and head for the lake or give
him a record player and some of
the record albums from his col
lection to listen to. Top this off
with a good action packed movie
and you have a contented boy.
The college of his choice is
State, where he plans to study
electrical engineering.
“That almost makes hairs rise
on my head.”—Mr. Grigg, after
hearing the Mixed Chorus sing.
Armstrong Spoke
At DAR Meeting
“Ample Scholarships Await
Ambitious Students” was the
topic of the address given by Dr.
Roy Armstrong at the D.A.R.
meeting held in the library of
Albemarle Senior High School,
October 17.
Dr. Armstrong spoke to mem
bers of the D.A.R. and their
guests, approximately 50 stu
dents of ASHS, including Na
tional Honor Society members,
representatives from the junior
and sophomore classes, and two
students from New London high
school.
In his address. Dr. Armstrong
stated, “N. C. has the smallest
percent of high school gradu
ates going to college of any state
except South Carolina. Any boy
or girl in North Carolina of aver
age ability can go to school. Mon
ey is not the only reason for stu
dents not going to college; it
is the lack of motivation.”
The boys who attended the
meeting were very interested in
Dr. Armstrong’s remarks about
the Morehead Scholarships.
Since 1951. 179 of these scholar
ships ranging from $1250 to $1500
have been given to boys going to
the University. Four of these
Morehead Scholars have come
from Albemarle High. The
scholarship is not based on the
need of the individual boy; it is
his reward for doing well.
Morehead scholars must (1)
have ability and perform, (2) be
unselfish, (3) have physical fit
ness, (4) think, (5) stand up for
what they think.
These challenges were given to
the students: “Take advantage of
the opportunities you have in
school, develop your talents, and
make it stylish to attain high
grades.
“Going to college is a full
time job and you must learn to
discipline yourself,” was Dr.
Armstrong’s closing remark.
The National Honor Society as
hosts and hostesses served re
freshments to the guests.
