High School, Greensboro.
The music for the Symphonic
Band consisted of grades 4, 5,

Band was 3rd, 4th, and 5th

Also Pfeiffer College provided
a dinner Saturday and a tour of
the campus.
Members of Modern Music
Masters played an important
role with their services during
the weekend. Some directed
parking outside while others
simply directed students on the
inside to the rehearsal areas.
Many students created bulle
tin boards and signs especially
for this event.
In all, according to Mr.

successful event and he wishes
to thank everyone who had a
part in it.
This was the first time
Albemarle has ever hosted the
annual clinic.

Ambition, (am-bish’un), n.
An eager desire for honor,
success or attainment of any
kind; as, he is full of ambition.
Antonio Pastor Sanz is full of
ambition. He comes from
Madrid, Spain. Before coming
to America, Tony made his
home in Bermuda. He worked
for seven months as a waiter to
earn money to help pay for his
education. There, he met Mr.
and Mrs. Buell Lowder, who,
upon learning that he wished to
come to the United States,
invited him up for a visit.
In December, Tony came to
North Carolina for a 10 day
vacation, with the hope that he
would be able to learn all about
America during that short time.
He found America and its
people very hospitable and
obviously the Lowders liked
Tony too. He was invited to stay
on and study in the States. In
accepting the invitation, Tony’s
main objective was to improve
his English and prepare for
Tony Pastor and Paul Tobias talk in their native tongues.
furthering his education. He
plans to take college board tests
and if accepted he will go to
college here in America.
“I think I can get a good
future in America. I like the
people very much and the
country is big and beautiful with
many things to see and do. I
think I’d like to stay for a long
lime, maybe forever.” '
We hope so. People like Tony
are certainly an asset. We
welcome him to America.

What do you think of when you
hear the words exchange
student? Foreign, maybe? Well,
the Student Council has given it
another meaning.
February 14, some of our
student council members trav
eled to A. L. Brown High School
in Kannapolis in a student
exchange program. In return,
some of their students visited
our school February 13.
For the time being it’s only
for the Student Council mem
bers, but if the students seem
really interested in it, then the
whole student body will be able
to participate.
The purpose of this student
exchange program is to observe
how other schools function and
to observe their Student
Councils. We’re hoping to
improve relations between the
school.
The Student Council is not
only trying to get it together at
our own school, but we’re
hoping to get it together with all
the schools in our South
Piedmont Conference.
Crystal Waller, Melinda Lowder, Melissa Hatfield, Robert
Rushin and Mike Lowder are Governor’s School nominees.
