THE JUNIORS WIN OVER BADIN
The second team of the Albemarle
High School played their first game
of the season Monday, May 8th, easily
defeating the Badin Juniors by the
score of 6-1. With the exception of
two bad errors our “scrubs” played a
fine game. It may be mentioned,
without boasting, that these boys
have always won the majority of their
games, whether in baseball or basket

AN APPRECIATION
(By Mary Anderson)
E. C. Branson, of the Univer
sity of North Carolina, head of the
department of Rural .Social Science,
in a recent letter to the Editor-in-
Chief.of The Midget, said: “I am
greatly pleased with ‘The Mid'get.’ I
do not know of any more creditable
high school publication in the United
States.”
Letters like this encourage us and
make us very grateful to those who
have helped to make our paper a suc
cess.
A great part of this success belongs
to Winfred Gaddy, our Business
Manager. iSince the first day of as
suming office Winfred has worked
with the idea of making The Midget
a success. He labored both day and
night securing advertisements, get
ting the paper printed and helping
the editors select the reading matter.
The students and teachers of the AU
bemarle High School feel that they
have heen especially fortunate in hav
ing secured for business manager a
person of Winfred’s “pep” and abil
ity. They, therefore, take this means
of thanking him for his valuable ser
vice.
AS A GIFT
If you select an “Elgin” you are paying
one of the most appreciated and enduring
tributes it is possible to confer. Each
model is the finest yet produced at the
figure—a gift that lasts a lifetime.
In all the world, what gift is so perfect,
so appropriate, so acceptable to the young
'Graduate as that faithful guardian of the
precious minutes of today—an Elgin.
