they were ahead at the end of the
first half. In the last half a dispute
over a decision of the referee caused
one of Albemarle’s points to be
thrown out. This point would have
tied the game up, for when the game
was over, the score was 33-32 in
China Grove’s favor.
The Albemarle boys showed real
sportsmanship by yielding gracefully,
realizing that there were other things
more important than a mere victory.

SOUNDS OF ANOTHER VICTORY
The Past Week In Athletics.
(By Vance Huneycutt.)
The past week was a hard one for
the high school basketball team. Four
games were played in the five school
days and it surely did keep them
busy.
Wednesday they played Mt. Gilead
and at the end of the first half
things looked bad for the Albemarle
boys, with the score 17-11 against
them. In the last half, however,
they came back strong and swept the
boys from Mt. Gilead off their feet,
mopping up the game at the same
time, 41-24.
The next day they took on China
Grove’s crack basketball team, but
the tables were turned. The boys
were tired an sore from the game
the previous day, but in spite of that
(Ralph Feagin.)
“Get off my foot!”
“Who are you?”
“Ah! Another goal!”
“Where’s my man?”
Don’t get excited. It was only
a basketball game, in which the local
boys defeated Troy 50 to 19.
The Albemarle High School boys
worked like a ninty-eight cent watch.
Their passing of the ball was greatly
improved, and their “goal shooting”
—why if the boys could shoot birds
as well as goals, I’m afraid birds
v/ould be a thing of the past.
Troy played good ball but failed
to cage ’em as often as the locals.
The Efird brothers rdce in every
game to see who can put the most
through the ring. Marbry worked
at center like he was getting pay for
it. Every now and then he would
push one through the g’oal for fun.
The guards also worked hard and
caged a few themselves.
(By Dorothy Huneycutt.)
The old A. H. S. has indeed the
right to be proud of its alumni.
Those of every class since we be
came a high school have made their
mark when going out into the out
side world. Here I will give a few
of those in the later classes—those
whom we have all known and loved:
Henry Snuggs of ’22 is now leading
his class at Wake Forest; Byron
Shankle of ’21 has the state cham
pionship in the high and broad
jumps; John Harris of the same
class is manager of the football team
at Trinity, a signal honor for a
sophomore. At the same institution,
Evelyn Hall of ’22 took highest hon
ors in math, and George Harris
those in English. So Albemarle
should indeed be proud of her record
at Trinity. Rudolph Matthews made
the honor roll at the University and
Mary Anderson (’22) was given first
piece in music at N. C. C. W. We
will have to lay well the foundation
here so that we may equal or sur
pass these records when we, too,
leave the beloved portals of our
Alma Mater.
