Seniors In News;

Several Seniors have been in
the news lately as participants in
various scholarship programs:
Mickey Mauldin, Senior class
president, has been awarded the
$4,000 Charles A. Cannon, Jr.,
scholarship for the next four
years.
The scholarship is awarded to
outstanding boys who plan to en
ter North Carolina State College
and study textiles. The $4,000 is
distributed over a four-year peri
od.
Mickey, interviewed by Mr.
Hearne Swink, a Cannon Mills of
ficial, on March 12, was notified
of his award on March 20.
In addition to being Senior class
president, Mickey is business man
ager of Crossroads, secretary-
treasurer of Hi-Y, and treasurer
of his Sunday School class.
Barbara Doby, outstanding
member of the Senior class, was
recently chosen district winner in
competition for a scholarship of
fered by the N. C. Federation of
Women’s Clubs.
The announcement that Barbara
had won out over girls from six
counties in the state was made
March 14 by the Albemarle Junior
Woman’s Club, which is sponsor
ing her.
Barbara attended the state
finals at W.C.U.N.C. in Greensboro
on March 24. A guest of some
W. C. students, she spent mucii of
her visit being interviewed by four
judges.
The judges awarded the scholar
ship, the amount of which has not
been determined, to Nora Wilson
of Greensboro. Ameila Gibson of
Waynesville was the runner-up.
Although Barbara did not re
ceive the scholarship, she “had a
wonderful time,” and “gained a
lot of experience from having par
ticipated in the finals.”
Seniors' Production Of 3-Act Comedy,
A Date With Judy,' Termed Successful
ASHS Affirnnative
Wins Unanimously
After having been postponed
five days because of snow% the
dual Albemarle-Lexington'^ de
bate was held Wednesday, March
14 at 10:00 a.m.
Sarah Cranford and Betty Her
locker, members of the Albemarle
affirmative team, were award
ed the judges’ unanimous deci
sion over the Lexington negative,
while the Lexington affirmative
team' won out over the Albe
marle negative composed of Bev
erly Freeman and Jeff Under
wood. The debaters’ topic was
“Resolved: That the federal gov
ernment should equalize educa
tional opportunity by means of
grants to the states for public
elementary and secondary
schools.”
Representing Albemarle at
Lexington, Beverly and Jeff were
told by the judge present that
their good debating made it “dif
ficult” for him to arrive at a de
cision. Mrs. Hayes went with the
two debaters in the capacity of
debate coach.
Judging the Albemarle affirm-
ative-Lexington negative half of
the debate held here were judges
Mrs. Labe Little, Jr., Mr. Sam
Behrends, lawyer and former
Wake Forest College debater,
and Mr. Fred Hollis, a teacher at
Pfeiffer College. Harriet Reeves
presided over the debate and
Margaret Allred served as time
keeper.
“A Date With Judy,” directed
by Miss Sibyl Thomas, was giv
en by a cast of 14 Seniors March
23 at 8:00 p.m.. in the ASHS audi
torium.
The cast of characters includ
ed: Judy, Vivian Smith; Melvin
Foster, John Gore; Dora Roster,
Jane Crutchfield; Randolph,
Johnny Garrison; Hannah, Shelia
Harris; Oogie Pringle, Hink Tuck
er; Mitzi, Brenda Moris; Mr. Mar-
tindale. Bob Richards; Mrs.
Hotchkiss, Gay Snuggs; Eloise,
Julie Butler; Mrs. Schultzham-
mer, Ellen Hatley; Rexford, Lane
Lowder, and Susie, Brenda York.
“A Date With Judy” is a 3-act
comedy. Judy was determined
to beat the slacks off Tootsie
Whitemen by soliciting contribu
tions to the Community Relief
Fund — the winner to be Queen
and lead the grand march at the
club dance. Soliciting was too
slow, so she entered a whole
raft of contests as a means of
raising some quick money —
using her parents’ names.
The results were disastrous.
Judy’s father won honorable
mention in a nation-wide con
test for the “most kissable lips.”
But Judy didn’t give up easily.
She tried her hand at writing a
“true confession” story entitled
“I Am A Bigamist.” Unfortunate
ly the “true confession” script
got mixed up with Mrs. Foster’s
speech to the PTA and when she
was unable to give her speech, it
was read for her.
Everything comes out all right
at last, of course, and the story
has a happy ending.
Four committees who worked
to make this play successful
were:
Tickets: Judy Hessley, chair
man; Sue Byrd, Kathy Freeman,
Harriet Reeves, Jane Morton and
Linda Morton.
Publicity: Dink Morton, chair
man; Rickie Furr, Ellen Hatley,
Nancy Russell, Judy Starnes, El
len Efird.
Props: Sylvia Wall, chairman;
Neville Patterson, Steve Smith,
Bill McKenzie, Julie Butler, and
Loretta Holt.
Make-up: Janice Hearne, chair
man; Linda Lefler and Barbara
Doby.
