ALBEMARLE, N. C„ APRIL, 1
PARAGRAPHICS
A great deal of work is being
done to improve our grounds. On
the north side grass is being plant
ed. Let’s be careful, students, to
keep off that grass-to-be!
Baseball is coming in with a
B-A-N-G. Coach Canipe is really
making the team warm up. The
Boosters’ club is learning new
yells. All that’s lacking now is the
support of the student body. Let’s
give it to them, baseball fans.
We’re on the last lap now, stu
dents—just one more report card
time—the final one. It’s still not
too late to make a “comeback” or
a “pick-up” in your hardest sub
ject. Give your teacher a good
last impression of you as a pupil
by doing your best work these last
few weeks.
Our next issue of “The Full
Moon” will be the special senior
edition. The staff asks you. Every
Student, to support the Journalistic
club and senior class by contribut
ing interesting articles for this
eight-page issue. Hand in your
news items to any member of the
club. Let’s co-operate, students,
making this senior number the best
n the
Field Day
Which class will be victi
Field Day contests? Which class
win the trophy? These are
questions which should concern
each one of you and make you
out and try to gain a place
to represent your class.
This event is a thing which, it is
hoped, will be something to remem
ber. Our first Field Day must be
success in order for it to become
1 annual event at A. H. S. Nat
urally its success depends on the
students. So come on out! Let’s
make Field Day the most outstand
ing day of the school year.
Have You Noticed?
Have you noticed how the rooms
have improved in appearance s
the student council has been
specting and grading them?
viously there has been a decided
change for the better. There
abundance of flowers, bulletin
boards are more attractive, the
desks are either paperless or
tomless, the floors are bare of
scraps of paper, and the boards are
clean. Now the grading commit
tee finds that the classrooms are as
neat and well kept at the lunch
hour as they are after school i
missed.
Don’t endeavor to keep just your
own homeroom in perfect condi
tion, but practice neatness and
cleanliness in all your classes.
Don’t let it be said that your cai
lessness caused any room grade
drop. Apply the golden rule, “Do
unto others as you would have
them do unto you.” This cleanli
ness campaign is to encourage
pride, not just in the homerooms,
but also in the school as a whole.
The students as a whole are to
be commended for the fine re
sponse and co-operation they have
shown. Let’s keep up this good

Enjoy Your Life
Make up your mind once ;
for all that you can be happy and
that you are going to be happy.
You will do more work, you will
mean more to your family and
friends, you will have more influ
ence on others if you maintain
happy attitude toward life. Hap
piness is not a matter of wealth
or station. It is a matter of
perament and will. To be happy
does not mean to be self-satisfied
or indifferent to poverty, wrong,
and tragedy, but it does mean that
you can rise above circumstances,
that you can have a part in creat
ing the atmosphere in which your
life shall be lived. Begin each day
with a kind thought and a word of
praise. Do something to help
other. Take satisfaction in
goodness and kindness that you
in people about you. Notice the
beauties of nature this spring. En
joy the. flowers. Listen to
birds. Look up at the sky and the
stars. Be glad that you’re alive.—

“Roll River”—Boyd
By CHARLES HOPKINS
“Roll River” is the storv of a
boy, young Tommy Reed, who
lives in a small Pennsylvania coal-
rmning town. He belongs to one

thrifty, well-to-do, and very con-
se^ative. He grows up here, and

Old Friends Are
Best
Old friends are best in people,
hobbies, and books. Whose par-

laughed and cried over the joys
and sorrows of the March family,
flighty Jo’s family, and other char
acters from the books immortalized
by Louisa M. Alcott?
Every boy longs to go sail
ing on the Mississippi on a raft
as Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn
did. There is probably no boy
or girl who has never heard of
these two mischievous boys and
their numerous “scrapes”. Penrod
and Sam are a little later addition
to the joys of childhood. Every
one has been sorry about the hard
ships of David Copperfield, inflict
ed by his unsympathetic step
father.
If ever you hear children go
ing around muttering something
about “brer rabbit” or “brer fox”
you will know they have undoubt-
edly been reading “Uncle Remus”.
All boys and girls alike have wish-
tbey might go treasure hunting
and have such thrilling adventures
as Jim Hawkins, the cabin-boy '
“Treasure Island”. Also most
us wish that we might be cast
a desert isle and have hair-r;..„

son Crusoe.

head by inches, it’s only some
