the full moon October 24 ■ • Bug-y Days Here As^in Cinco, King Edward, Nurica, Cremo, Claro, Meditation, John Jr., Princess, Blue Ribbon, Hav-A-Tampa, El-Reeso-So, and El Moro. No this isn’t French, Spanish, Latin, German, or “what-have-you”. Sounds somewhat like a wholesale cigar store, but careful inspection of these boxes did not reveal large rolls of nicotine as expected. When the lid was raised, (Boo!) the eye was focused on Orthoptera, Lepi- doptera, CoJeoptera, Hyminoptera, Hemip- tera, Diptera, and Neuroptera with oak galls, briar galls, golden rod galls, and wee vials with eggs, larva, pupa, and adults—the total being some 3,000 mem bers of the Hexapod group which will not devour man’s (and woman’s) beans and cabbages next year. After two frightful weeks of chasing six-legged creatures with butterfly nets, (made from everything in general) car bon tetra chloride bottles, and formalde hyde vials, the six biology classes have pinned these exoskeletal creatures through the thorax, and tagged them for inspec- Wayne Hall, one of Miss Moore’s bi ology students, says his mother has been so frightened with the wiggling things that he and Merrill have dragged in, she is ready to “up-and leave” the house to them and the varmints. Scores of the students are ready to call the course bugology rather than biol ogy, but just you wait until the leaves turn (Ah! colorful fall) and all these pteras will change to xanthrophyll, cal- orophyll, and enithrophyll. • There’s a Great Day • Coming'^^ Since the P. T. A. meeting Thursday night in the interest and enthusiasm in the Mixei Chorus has grown from day to day. The number who responded to the call will need to be cut to fifty or sixty, however, as the practice room is too small to seat eighty-eight. This will not be easy to do as there is much good materiaJ due to the large number from last year’s class responding and also a number of promising new voices. The new vestments which the P. T. A. is giving the Mixed Chorus will be worn on numerous occasions: for chapel pro grams, at various churches, and for com mencement music. Last year the Boys’ Chorus and the Girls’ Chorus were eligible to compete in the Regional Contest at West Palm Beach. It is hoped that they, as well as the Mix ed Chorus, will do as well this year. ; THE FULL MOON Published monthly by the Journalism class of Albemarle High School, Albe marle, North Carolina. ^-fi'tor Ellen Hearne Assistant Editor Eunice Smith Feature Editor Ramelle Morris Asst.

Thesesevera of the views given when the boys we approached on the subject “A sense of humor, first and foremost, and then she should have a lively interest in sports, along with intellectual mter- ests ” Mr. McFadyen. “Blond hair, big blue eyes, and she d have to be strong so she could cook and clean house for me.”-Bob Morrow. Another one with his mind on domestic affairs say, “She will be one that is a good cook and be a good driver and not wear too much make-up.”—Ray Lefler. “Very sweet and understanding with a good sense of humor. And then she shouldn’t be too brilliant in school—and I do like long hair,” says Jimmy Peck. “She couldn’t be very tall and she should have dark eyes and hair. But most of all, I like one who doesn’t say much so that I can do all the talking.”— John Morrow.

Theme— •‘Good Books- Good Friends' FAIR NEWS Well, here we are back again at the fair, taking it all in and trying to see who or what we can do.

Nuts, Lipstick, Slugs, Keys, Shoe Horns; Everything, But Money, In Boys’ Pockets Although only small boys are supposed to carry their pockets full, the eleventh grade boys in A. H. S. have the fuUest pockets, a roving reporter who played pickpocket discovered a few days ago. Everything from an empty Prince Al bert tobacco can, a cluster of nuts, and moth balls to shoe horns and a social se curity card rest peacefully in innocent pockets! The poor pockets have nothing whatsoever to do about this! In the Freshman class pencils, slugs, keys, rubber bands, and combs reigned supreme. In fact, all classes, Freshie to Senior, seemed to have an unusual desire 0 have neat (?) hair. Almost everyone had combs. There were only a few fin- gernail fi.les present, however. In the ninth and tenth grades two shoe horns were found. What purpose they served was not discovered, but they evi dently had a reason for going in those pockets, perhaps a hangover from Miss Freeman’s kitchen band. Charles Lowder, the sissy (?) had two —mind you girls, two—lipsticks! He said he collected them! Maybe you could get some free samples, girls. You’d better see him for further information. Ikey Stone, very willing to help, discovered his flute in his hip pocket! In this class also, a boy unearthed five handkerchiefs! He had no cold either! In the twelfth grade four slugs were found hidden in a pocket. The boy, it seemed, was going ‘digging” at the Fair! Mr. Hatley, who was cornered in his lair (lab 18), revealed that teachers do not need to carry much in their pockets. His pockets, when searched, produced two brownies”, a nickel and a dime, (he’s been married since Christmas), two keys ends-an empty (0 billfold, and a handkerchief which had served its purpose all day in the lab oratory.
