Have you ever read the autobiographies of the Albemarle High school’s past stu dents? Next time you have a dull mo ment, scan the pages of A. H. S. history. Just glance over the desk tops that you strive so hard to write on in spite of the more or less artistic pictures and signa tures carved on them. Here are some of the student’s autographs: E. D. (author unknovra); there’s a picture of some man etched on the surface; here’s one called "‘Minnie Ha Ha”; another one (a lover did this one) “J. M. & M. K.” Some are good and some are not so good. But they do provide interesting reading. • WHY NOT? “Hey, Phil, got a cigarette?” “Sure thing. Is this the brand you smoke?” “Oh, I smoke any brand around school that I can get my hands on. The old man won’t let me bring mine to school.” “Why?” “Oh, because he thinks you should not smoke on the school grounds.” “Aw, that’s nothing. I smoke all the time and any place that I get ready—on the school grounds, in the building, in fact, any place that I get ready.” “You know, Bob, we shouldn’t smoke on the school grounds because we’re up per classmen, and, well, we are it around here and all students lower than we do the things we do. So if we don’t smoke on the school grounds we will be an ex ample for all others. What do you say ' we throw these cigarettes away?” THE FULL MOON Published monthly by the Journalism class of Albemarle High School, Albe marle, North Cwrolina.

C., November 24, 1939 book browsings SIX FEET SIX The heroic story of Sam Houston by Bessie Rowland James and Marquis James and published by the Bobbs-Merr^ll Co. This is a book of adventure for red- blooded boys and girls. It is a tale of a boy who was reared in Tennessee There he learned the ways of the red man, to love his country, and above all to uphold his honor. When he was still a young man, Sam Houston became governor of Tennessee. Lies were told about him, and it seemed as though his life was ruined. He turn ed to the woods, to live and help his In dian friends, who had been wronged by the dishonest government officials. Then he left Tennessee and went to Texas, where he lived the rest of his life. It was in Texas that he rose to such great heights. In one thrilling battle he won Texas her independence and was made her first president. After many years and political battles, Sam Houston died. He had been gover nor of two states; a city had been named after him; and had he desired so, he could have been president of the United States. If you do not know much about the history of Texas, it is important that you read this stirring book. CURTAIN CALL Up-To Dates For Suzie Sub-Debs Huh 0! Here comes dear old ma; She’ll gab awhile; then truck in pa. He’ll talk ’bout studying war no mo’. And finally she’ll come down to go. Dates are made by fools like me, But God only knows what time they’ll be. Girls, sit up and take notice, for here are a few hints on the date problem from some of the most datable fellows in school. The first way to make a hit is to be ready on time. If you can’t possibly get that last curl in place before 8:30, then say 8:30 in the first place and not 8:00 o’clock. Trying for an hour to make con versation with strange parents is enough to daunt even the most valiant young man. Of course opinions about clothes will vary, but all boys like attractive, well- dressed girls. This doesn’t necessarily mean that flashy or expensive clothes are the thing to wear. Unless you want to embarrass your escort or make him feel ill at ease, don’t assume a blase attitude, affect an accent, or imitate your favorite movie star. Be natural. Boys like you that way. Adaptability is a good trait to cultivate. Try to get as much fun out of broiling a steak over a picnic fire, even when the smoke gets in your eyes, as you do in dancing the latest steps to some swell up-to-date music. Everyone likes a good sport. Finally, there are modern Galahads who really admire a girl for trying to get home reasonably near the time her moth er asked her to. If the family is still up and It isn’t too late, it’s quite all right to ask him in. But if all is still and dark do not disturb the quiet. K . Angels with dirty faces. It’s only Miss Nye’s Dramatic club taking up a unit in make-up. It isn t anythmg uLsual these days to see eyes peepmg through the doorway to see these artists in action. Various types have been made up, but the best character portrayed so far was an impersonation of Hitler by Hubert Sha ver Diminutive Shaver, the telk of the class, is expecting to go to Hollywood some day on the strength of this imper sonation. A section on dramatic publicity has al so been studied by the class lately. Those excellent posters for “Second Childhood” were made by the members of this class. They say that the best show ever given by a group of actors is at the final re hearsal, w'hen everyone is tense with ex citement. It so happened that we were around this very night when the faculty was practicing “Second Childhood”, and if you think that that was a success— well. They did anything but listen to the director. Miss Holt was supposed to make a dramatic entrance on one oc casion, and to the impatience and slight disgust of all, she couldn’t even be found in the building! She had just run home for a minute. Then, too, there was this matter of make-up. Most of the men had to be changed completely. Mr. Gehring with his bald head, and Mr. Canipe with his handle-bar mustache could be seen run ning around almost throwing everyone in to hysterics. On the other hand, the ladies took it quite grcaefully and skipped around very youthful-like in their old age make-up and costumes. If that make-up is typical of what they’ll be looking like 30 years from now, we hope we don’t run across some of them in the dark. IMPRESSIONS 1.
