Carrot Royalty
Crowned at AHS
John Purves and Shirley Sabin
were crowned king and queen of
Carrot Week at last Friday's pep
assembly which climaxed the
week-long activities sponsored by
the Grizzettes. Before school and
at noon, students purchased car
rots from pep club members who
had tables set up in the main hall
and in the cafeteria. With each
carrot purchased, the buyer re
ceived a chance to be chosen king
or queen of carrots.
The carrots presented a prob
lem, though, as students tried to
convince teachers that it was
necessary for them to eat carrots
in class in order to get their daily
doses of vitamins A and C. In
most cases, however, this excuse
was not allowed, and many stu
dents were seen sneakily eating
carrots behind open books.
