Fry R Word of Thanks May Help Your Digestion “Wonder what we’re having in the cafeteria today” is a well- known statement when the day near;^ lunch time. No matter what day it is, you can bet your life the meal will be delicious, wholesome, and filled with vitamins. All this is carefully planned and served by Mrs. Pickier and her staff of cafeteria workers. Where else could you possibly get such a complete, well- rounded meal for the extremely small price of a quarter? A.S.H.S. is certainly lucky to have such fine cafeteria work ers. It’s far from being an easy job in that every day they have to prepare for approximately 500 people. Have you ever stopped to think how much time and work that would take? Sometimes as people go through the cafeteria line they make little remarks about the food. Of course, we know that most of the time they’re only kidding. Wouldn’t it be nice if, the next time you feel like commenting on the meal, you’d say some thing nice to the cafeteria workers! It would certainly show how much we appreciate Mrs. Pickier and the other ladies that serve. Paragiaphics Congratulations to Wade Smith, David Grigg, and Robert L.

However, the prob lem of time isn’t the most important one to many people. MonQy enters the picture, especially in the senior class when there are collections almost d^aily for, various things such as banquet fees, caps and gown fees> and unpaid balances on yearbooks along with numerous other organizations to which students are asked to contribute their time and money. The question has ,been raised as to whether ASHS students would be willing to pay an activity fee at the beginning of the school year over and above that which is regularly paid; This fee, approximately ten dollars, would be used exclusively for the purchase of the school newspaper and each student’s year book. Such a publications fee could greatly improve the quality of both the school newspaper and the yearbook. These essential publications have been operating on a handicap mainly for lack of money. Such a system has many advantages. One which would ap peal to the students would be the advantage of not having to buy a yearbook at a time when everyone seems to be asking for money for one thing or another. Having thought the possibility of a publications fee 1;hrough, the economical student will see the advantages of it and take the necessary steps toward a new school rule providing for it. Books Alive By TOM FATKIN The final unit of the Traveling High School Science Library is now in the library. This group includes some ex cellent books on the: Atom and also on Space.

Lieber; “Nobel Prize Winners In Chemistry” by Ed ward Farber; “The Rock Book” by Carrell Lane Fenton and Mil dred Adams Fenton;, and “Uran ium and Other Miracle Metals” by Fred Reinfeld. * * ♦ Reading a good classic book is not a thing of the past. This sunimer will be an excellent tinie for you to catch up on some good books. The Stanly County Library which is open year round has a very good selection of these books. When school is out this sum mer why not follow the National Library Week’s slogan “Wake Up and Read: For a better-read, bet ter-informed America.” Mrs. Fry’s tenth grade English class has been reading books on Backwoods America”, A few of the books they recommend are: “Miracle in the Mountains” by Berby; “Grandfather Tales” by Chase; “Wolf Brother” by Kjel- gaard; “Early Candlelight” -by Lovelace; and “The Nine Brides and Granny Hite” by Wilson. Teacher Of The Month One of the most versatile and popular teachers of the ASHS faculty is Mrs. Carolyn McLain. To show appreciation for the many contributions that she has made to the school, she is fea tured as “Teacher of the Month”. For several years she has worked with dramatic groups and has done her best to see that good plays have been presented. Every year she gives her leisure time to direct the junior play. She is now sponsor of the Black Masque Club, She has a full day, teaching math classes and a senior Eng lish class. She is one of the most popular teachers of the faculty. Playing golf and bridge are Mrs. McLain’s hobbies. She spends her leisure time with her husband in their home in Badin, Letter To The Editor April 20, 1959 Dear Editor: On behalf of the entire senior class, I would like to say to the junior class, “Thank you for a beautiful prom,” On the night of the prom, al most every senior walked up the walk, anticipating the evening of pleasure and enjoyment waiting for him. Behind the doors was a wonderland of murals and scenery depicting the “Garden of Love”. As all seniors know, much hard work was required in order tO' put on this annual event. I’m sure that every junior who worked unselfishly was rewarded with expressions of satisfaction from us. Our thanks go especially to Neil Efird, president of the junior class, and also to the refreshment committee which worked untir ingly during the prom. As the prom ended, I noticed sad expressions on many senior faces. This dance is one of the last events which we will enjoy in high school. To the junior class of Albemarle Senior High School goes our deep gratitude, Thank you again for a prom which will always be remem bered. Sincerely, JANE CHANDLER, Secretary of the Senior Class, Albemarle Senior High School. Inquiring Reporter QUESTION: How Do You Start A Conversation? GIRLS “I just stand there and start laughing.

CAMPUS CHATTER Hi Sis, We have really been on the ball this month, but we are a little afraid to relinquish all our news. Most of it comes from the Prom, parties and beach trips, which were really rocking. Sis, you should have seen the Prom with the theme “Garden of Love.” Everyone looked lovely in their evening attire and the Juniors did a beautiful job decorating. Looking Over some of the new couples we found Ellen Rogers and Jimmy Kluttz; Alice Marie Morton and Richard Lambert; Pam Truette and Mike Ross; Annette Staton and David Treece and Sylvio Tucker and James Cotton. We were wondering what the conversation was between Ann Taylor and Chip Cain and Lydia Hearne and Butch Morgan. They made sort of an odd couple in the football jerseys and evening clothes. Billie Jo and James and Billie Ray and Kenneth seemed to be enjoying peeping through the fence even if they couldn’t join in dancing with everyone else. Boy, did we have fun at the parties after the Prom! The most fun seemed to be had at River Haven at the Stonestreet and Efird cabins. Mrs. Cashwell and Pep were cutting the rug when we walked in. We saw Susan and Ronnie; Landis and Jimmy; Jane and Billy; Diane and Ronald; Marie and Johnny; Juanita and Jim my; Eunice and Donnie; Sharon and Dudley; Jo and NeiL and Sara and Ed really putting away the hot dogs. The party down at Ollie's lingered into the wee morning hours. We found Mickie and Jimmy; Mary Jo and Sherrill; Pat and lEd- die; Georgette and Lane playing cards, while Judy and Woody; Shelby and Drip; Bonnie and Roger; and Sue and Charles kept the floor hot dancing. We wonder what happened to Hunter and Don Mauldin that they didn’t hejip fix breakfast. Even though it rained and they didn’t come home with a suntan, Janice and Max; Linda and Eddie; Ann and Don; Becky and Spivey; and Ann and Butch really had a sandy time at the beach. We heard that Max and Eddie serenaded everyone ’til the wee hours of the morning. We know Mr. and Mrs. Whitley and Mrs. Taylor didn’t get much sleep, but we heard they lived in their teens again. We still A^ant to ask Spivey and Butch what happened while they were in the shower. Sis, some of the boys spent'the night down at the river and from all we’ve heard they had quite a night. Woody Durham and Gary Whitley were imitating Bo Diddley, while Shex^ill and Chip were fishing and Roger was hunting worms with an axe in the woods. Being without sleep must have really affected these boys at about six in the ,morning. We’re still wondering who the cute couple was that Paul and Glenda Sue saw at the AP. Both of the people go steady, but with different people. One clue . . , a ’47 Plymouth, Lois Shaver seems to still rate white ’59 Fords. It seems as if this new chauffeur isn’t from Rockingham. Wonder if Gerald knows about this A.S.H.S news? It seems as if Brenda and Alex and Pam and Ted have broken the knot again, but Jerry Tucker was waiting on the fence this time. We heard that Pep enjoyed giving Mrs. Deese a shower with the hose, while decorating for the Prom. Wonder how she likes wet clothes? Well, until next month we hope the Hop will furnish as much news as the Prom, but please make it printable!!! — THE SNEAKERS
