Tourney Excitement Fills ?
Air at Atlantic School
By FREDDIE SALTER
Hi everybody! Here's School 1
Daze getting you up to date on
things happening here at Atlantic
High.
The talk of most of the students
down here has been the tourna
ment games. I don't think those
students who went from here will ;
ever get caught up on their sleep [
It is a pretty good ride to New- ;
port and four nights straight .
Good Heavens Let's hope we
survive.
Some of you students out in the
county probably have the same
trouble. School Daze would like to
congratulate all the teams on their
splendid and fair play To you.
Newport, we wish you the best of
luck at Kenansville and hope you
will be state champs!
We are the proudest of our boys' j
team! Again this year they have J
I won the sports
manship trophy
by practicing
fair play and
displaying the
best qualities of
good sportsman
ship. So we say
to you, "Re
member it isn't
whether you
win or lose, but
how you play
the game.
Students who will be missed
playing ball on the Pirate teams
next year are: Barney Hill, Ralph
Riggs, Dot Gillikin. Rachael Sal
ter. Joyce Fulcher. and Martha
Leary. We were glad to have them
represent our school the past four
years.
The seniors have selected their
| class day program after reading
about ten. It is titled "A Feather1
of Gold" and it is very good. It '
doesn't seem as if the seniors will 1
ever finish their grammar studies.]
We are awaiting literature at the |
present. Before long I guess we
will be meeting "Macbeth."
The last book reports made by
the senior class were booklets.
These booklets have been returned
to us. Most of them received good
grades. It was a pretty difficult
| job compiling all the material we
could find to illustrate the book
on which we were reporting.
Some of the booklets illustrated
biographies of famous men as, The
Life of Harry S. Truman, and' Ste
phen Foster, others, places such
as A La France and books of tra
vel, as North Carolina. These book
lets were pretty and very neat.
Surely the seniors deserve much
credit for the efforts which they
put forth.
Wednesday morning found many
of the high school students milling
around in the cafeteria. Things
like this don't usually happen, but
that day the students were looking
at the many paintings which were
posted in the cafeteria.
The paintings, done with finger
paint. were painted by the teach
ers of AHS at a party they and the
cafeteria staff had the Friday be
fore. Colas and cake were served
at the party.
We have called the paintings
modern art and some of them, I'm
afraid, are beyond our comprehen
sion. We have figured one of them
to be flowers blooming by a
stream, another, to be trees grow
ing in a meadow. One we called
butterflies, and yet, someone made
the remark, "That one is spaghetti
and meatballs!"
Well, the latter found the cor
rect place in the school cafeteria.
The paintings are very attractive
and we will try to figure them all
out soon as we can.
Fifth period Wednesday found
the juniors and seniors with Mr.
Johnson in the high school library.
Mr Johnson talked to us about
banquet night, which is a most an
ticipated event in the life of every
junior and senior. He asked us if
we thought a program could be
planned to go on as long as we
would care for it to, after the ban
quet and prom.
The purpose of this is to elim
inate those attending the banquet
from being all over the county, and
maybe some ill-advised enterprises.
Also highways can be very dan
gerous. If we could have an all
night program, maybe rent the
Houseboat Inn here at Atlantic
and be properly chaperoned, it
would prevent things which are so
dreaded by our parents from hap
pening
I feel sure that we seniors will
go along with the juniors in what
ever they plan for us and I'd like
every junior and senior to remem
ber the things that Mr. Johnson
i. ion mt ems'
*415*
E. W. Downum Co.
dvaitknt stou
told us. He is the elder and our
higher authority and he does know
right from wrong during a school
sponsored-affair even if we don't.
The recent speaker at assembly
was the Rev. Louie A. Lewis of the
Atlantic Methodist charge He
talked to us about the courage and
honesty of George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln who had faith in
God and lived in His way. We were
most happy to have Mr. Lewis with
us and we d like to ask him back
real soon.
We now have another married
senior in our class. The former
Ann Taylor of Sea Level became
the bride of Frank Plttman of Mer
rimon Feb. 25. We all wish Ann
the best and know that they will
both be very happy.
Today, meet another senior. She,
is Beatrice Salter, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Leon Salter of Sea Level.
Beatrice, who was born Feb. 23.
1938 was voted the most original
and most conceited girl of the
Senior Class. She has been a class
officer for three years and has i
served as chief cheerleader.
Beatrice tells us that home ec
is her favorite subject; for food
she chooses cherry pie. Her fav
orite pastime is dancing and after
graduation her plans vary between
Chowan College or a marriage in:
Greece.

Chairman Says
Overplanting
Increases Costs
Every year some farmers in
North Carolina are greatly incon
venienced because they overplant
ed their allotment of a basic crop
Tilman R Walker, chairman of
the State ASC committee, has re
minded Tar Heel farmers that it
is definitely their responsibility to
plant within their acreage allot- -
ment.
Every year a few farmers over
the state, on having their acreage
measured by ASC personnel, find
that they have overplanted. Many
farmers, according to Walker, pay
j additional money out 'of their poc
kets to have a representative of
I the ASC county committee witness
(disposition of the excess acreage, i
Other farmers make a deposit
with the ASC Office to have offi- 1
cials revisit the farm and rcmea
I sure the acreage In just about ;
[every case, this is an unnecessary,
| drain on the farmer's pocketbook, 1
tand in every case, the time lost
by these revisits to the farm is a
great inconvenience to the farmer,
he says.
"That's just one of the reasons
the farmer should remember that
it is his responsibility to plant
within his acreage allotment," Mr. I
Walker adds. Another reason is
that every time a farmer plants
over his allotment, he is wasting
seed or plants, fertilizer and labor, i
As a service to farmers, ASC j
will send trained reporters to the
farm to lay off a farmer's allot
ment before any planting For this .
service, the farmer pays only the
actual cost of the visit to the farm.
Only through premeasurement.
Walker cautioned, can farmers be
certain that they are not overplant- ,
ing and bringing on themselves a
considerable amount of increased
expense, as well as quite a bit of
inconvenience and delay.
