We expected anything to befall us the first week of school, but to our relief nothing happened. Each of us went about with two purposes in mind: to keep from getting lost, and, above all, to keep out of the way of the high and mighty upperclassmen. After the excitement subsided, we settled down to do some real work. Soon it was Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Christmas to us meant two weeks of idleness. After returning to school we started working harder than ever. During the next four months we worked hard, hoping to complete our freshman year with honor. During our freshman year the twelfth grade was added. Thus we ended our freshman year, put aside our books, and welcomed the vacation. The following fall we began our sophomore year with little change. During our sophomore year the Student Council was organized. Bill Mann was elected president. This Council carried out. many .worthwhile projects during the year. They sponsored the school's Carnival, which was held for the first time that year. May brought the annual Field Day, and June meant va- cation. No more outstanding events marked our S0Ph0lff101'e Year, but at the end of the year we were proud that we were climbing h1gher'up the ladder of our high school education. After a happy vacation we trooped back to school in September, 1938, and entered as a group of jolly juniors. We could never forget the good times we had in Mr. Gehring's history class that year. One of the most important phases of the year was the Open House sponsored by the Student Council. Another was the tapping of the members of the newly- organized Honor Society, sponsored by Miss Emma Milling. The Student Council also presented a number of movies to the student body. In the spring officers of the Council were elected for the coming year. The students elected Ted Wallace, president, Idell Mauldin, vice-presldellti V1013 Hudson, secretary, and Polly Martin, treasurer. We brought our third year to a close, realizing, 85 we bade the seniors farewell, that we had only one more year at Albemarle High School. In the fall of 1940 our senior year began with an enrollment of 199. We were proud that we had reached the final lap of our school Journey. We were greeted by our new principal, Mr. McFadyen, who replaced Mr. Gibson. During the first few weeks lessons were forgotten.. The .Little World's Series was being played and baseball became our favorite. topic. After a week of that, we settled down to work and began to think seriously of graduation. The class, under the leadership of Miss Rose Laws, elected Ted Wallace, president, Lafayette Blackwell, vice-president, Lucille Palmer, secretaryg and Polly Martin, treasurer. The National Honor Society had its annual tapping ceremony. Deward Lefier was elected president. The new members were: Margaret Nisbet, Hubert Hatley, Barbara Crowell, Betty Hatley, Ted Wallace, Ann Henning, Gatha Sells, Alfred Morton, and Cornelia Yeager. Out of 199 students 149 planned to graduate. Thirty-seven of these came from the twelfth grade. On a whole our class has worked well together, and we hope that each individual in the class will be able to fit himself into some place of service and usefulness in life. Our hopes and ambitions are high as we stand with our face to the future. In the years to come these pages will--we hope-keep alive memories of perhaps the happiest part of our lives.

'ff' CLASS PROPHEGY - '41 Ten years have flown by since that memorable day in june, 1941, when the graduation exercises were held in Albemarle High School. Now, couldn't get pause for just a little while and see what a few of our old classmates are omg? Governor Ted Wallace made an inspiring talk at the Rotary Club last Thursday. The president of the club, Bailey Gulledge, introduced the speaker and welcomed him back to his old home town. Governor Wallace was accom- panied to Albemarle by his secretary, Miss Billy Ray Dry. Among the outstanding business men who enjoyed his speech were Gilbert Russell, Deward Lefler, Max Ritchie, Charles Crawley and Bill Gantt. The faculty of A. H. S. has changed somewhat in the past ten years. If we look now we will find Max Morton teaching eleventh grade English, Helen Wentz, who is expected to become a Rotary Anne before long, teaching physics' Bobby Ritchie teaching World History, Lucienne Whitlock and john Auten coaching the athletic teams, and Clegg Furr teaching chemistry. French has been replaced by German, which is ably taught by Fraulein Margaret Moore. As principal of this great educational system we have Alfred Morton. We are especially fortunate in having Mr. Morton, for his last book, Theory of Ignorance, has brought him many tempting offers, but he has elected to remain at his Alma Mater. We ind our old friends in the field of business. :Mary Emily Eflrd, C01-- nelia Yeager, and Maxine Cashatt are co-editors of the Grusomette, the new and popular fashion magazine. Ralph Lipe and Truett Stallings are Said to sell jalopy cars faster than they can be manufactured, while Hilda Smith, Betty Van Lefler, Martha Russell and Geraldine Luther are busy pounding typewriterg, Yep! They're secretaries now and first class ones, too! Lloyd Skidmore could sell a bear a fur coat in the middle of july, so persuasive his sales talk. Dr. Samuel Lamar now runs the hang-out for all the gang-many's the good time we've had there. For those who haven't yet looked up their life of Shakespeare, let us refer you to the Stanly County Library now managed by the quiet and capable Miss Elizabeth Haire. And for those of you who, when SlCk, want a pretty nurse, you know whom to call on-of course it would be Jewell Almond. . The magnificent new building on the outskirts of town is the new Beauty Clinic guaranteed to take ten years off your life, if not your looks. It is owned and operated by Miss Josephine Beaver, who has the following staff of cosmetologist: permanents--Juanita Herrin, manicures-Ruth Cox, pedicures.. Ruby Shaver, mud baths-Lois Melton, tar and feather baths-Alice Smith' egg baths-Mary Louise Lisk, milk baths-Mary Rose Curlee, Turkish baths.l Mary Anne Skidmore and Sue Laton--guarantee to reduce or fatten you ac- cording to desire, molasses baths-Jewel Stoker, scalding facials-Lillian ,Ta1- bert, freezing facials-Dorothy Rhinehardt, exercise-Lee Gilliam' growing and shrinking advice-Helen Russell and Martha Penninger-they make you tall Or they make you small. Thus, it is easily understood how the ladies of Albe- marle obtain and retain their beauty. . 3 V. r16'.iL A 'NL I N .W 'FH s its 1 -ig glrh v I ' gf' .5 vii Vi' ai! . 1- : SW 13 sl . i 5 it lit 1 'I-fl as r l if .1 if 5'-712 iii' Wi ' a xiii 4 ii? iff . 1 4 't . tai K- l, if W ' g-fr ,l f 'ki ' . 4,5 1 ze 1' .iii ,. irwi 'l A-E if z .3 X 4 t, if W P-i ,1 A n E44 3 fi HQ 1, 2' f'v 4 5 as ml ' 9? 4 v7 N G e e H. es ' 0.6 ZA ?'
