Fry Pzaise To The Students Things are looking better around A. H. S.! The cafeteria line problem has been greatly improved. Al though there are a few students that still slip, in line, the others should be thanked. These people know who they are, so if you would like to be recognized in this group, all you have to do is not slip in line or take anyone up. Have you walked down the halls lately? If you have, you must have noticed how much quieter it has been. Since the stu dents have taken an interest in the way the building and grounds look, there has been a great improvement. The halls and campus are not so littered with scraps of paper, cups, and chewing gum and candy wrappers. This makes AHS a much nicer place to live. The students have been more co-operative this past six weeks than ever before during this year, but let’s make this next six weeks the best of them all. Choosing The Best Who’s your choice for next year’s Student Council officers? Before you choose, it would be a good idea to consider these points: Anyone who is to represent the student body of so large a school as A. H. S. should be an aggressive person who can come out with good ideas and get behind them and push. The right per son for these positions should be well known and liked, but not afraid to state his views. He should keep an open mind to good sound ideas from others and possess good judgment. These people should be honest and constantly aware of the fact that they set a standard for the rest of the student body. They will need plenty of will power to resist temptations that would lower these standards. Not only should these points be considered in selecting the major officers, but also the home room representatives. Remem ber that they will be your voice in the school government for the next school year. So letis all go out on election day and get a group of officers that we can be proud of. From The Mailbag Inquiring Reporter Questions: What qualities do you look for in the Student Council Officers? April 12, 1952 Dear Editor: I received another copy of thfe Full Moon today, so I thought it was about time for me to write someone to say that I en joy the paper and often think of Albemarle high school. Maybe it is your subscription manager or circulation manager that sends the paper, but I believe that all letters are sent to the editor; thus this one to you. I would like to ask you at least a hundr*ed questions about school and just what several “charact ers” are doing these days. I im agine spring is in full bloom and the accompanying fever is very much in evidence, much to the various teachters’ disgust. Speaking of school, I am at tending one that is quite differ ent from any other that I have ever encountered. I am sure some of my form'er students would enjoy seeing me studying. It is not uncommon to have a 2 1-2 hour assignment, and it has run as high as 3 1-2 hours. The bad part of it is that these people up here have a way of making you do it or making you very, very sorry that you didn’t. How is our sociology (econom ics) class doing? I hope you are as good for Mrs. Hayes as you were for me. Of course, there are exceptions to those times. I see that several of our star pupils are in the limelight: Jane and David in Who’s Who and Youngun’s Yarns still going strong. The only reason Leslie doesn’t have anything in is be cause I am not there to give him th’e news. Please send me the other editions of the paper, and don’t fail to keep up your good work. Sincerely, Paul W. Lentz April 18, 1952. Dear Mr. Cashwell: Please acctept my sincere thanks for a pleasant and profit able day spent in your school on Thursday. I am most grateful to you for giving Miss Roberts and me this opportunity to ob serve your school at work. We found many things going on that will help us to make both our music and science programs more effective. Give Mr. Fry and Mr. Hatley my best regards. I hope that we will have the pleasure of hav ing you and some of your staff members visit us sometim'e. Thanks for lunch at the Rotary clubi Sincerely, J, H. Nettles, Principal Boyden High School Dear Juniors, Your prom April 18 went off with a “bang!” Th'e gym was decorated beautifully, and the theme “Dancing In The Dark” was carried out appropriately with the black and white streamers and silhouettes. The Well-known orchestra of Billy Knauff was wonderful too and we think the boys especi ally enjoyed the vocalist. Let’s not forget the fact that the refreshments were most en joyable and there certainly was an abundance of them. The atmosphere of the night must have done something to everyone with all the boys in white dinner jackets and the many, many orchids sent to their date's. The beauty of all the girls was comm'ented on, too, and everyone was impressed with the good behavior. The parties, which lasted un til the wee hours of the morn ing, were loads of fun, teven though the next day for many brought on droopy eyelids and yawns. 'All in all, it was a wonderful Prom. Thanks and congratulations to all you juniors for having such a fine Junior-Senior. , Keep up the good work. Song of Chickamauga Hill, writen by Crabb, is a historical novel of humorous and dare devil adventure. It is a tale of espionage and intrigue, of battle and heroic struggle, of courage and devotion. It has as its mov ing spirit that redoubtable, sup remely able warrier, General Natha Bedford Forest. The set ting is around Chattanooga in the summer of 1863. Films Films which the students have seen during th'e month are as follows: “How to Keep a Job”. Job success is dependent upon more than a wise selection of vocation, more than the right attitude toward work itself, moi^ than the wise selection of a particular position. Although all these are important, job suc cess means getting along with fellow-workers, conduct of work, attitude toward company, and several other factors which this film explains in the context of a fascinating story. “Fun of Being Thoughtful” Thoughtfulness is expressed in hundreds of small and large ways ... in speech, silence, act ion and inaction. Thoughtful ness is shown h'ere to be intel ligent exercise and application of a few social skills: noticing what others like and want, put ting yourself in the other per son’s place and finding what the oth'er person feels and thinks -*-and acting thoughtfully. “Newspaper Story” This film presents a vivid be- hind-the-secne view of a news paper office. It impressively il lustrates the duties of the work ers who observe, write, edit, print and distribute the daily newspaper. In this particular film it emphasises the import ance of the newspaper as a medium of exchange. “Hello, Business.” This film, which is in 'full color, shows how Dictaphone Electronic Dictation with Tele phone Recording entered into the lives of several business men and how it helped them to handle their business and pro fessional activities. “Bathing Time For Baby” This film, in full color, com bines the appeal of Walt Disney productions with the factual in formation gathered by experts in the field of baby care. “Fleet That Came To Stay” In this film the story of the in vasion of Okinawa is told from the Navy’s point of view, show ing Naval action at the time of landing and the dramatic at tack by the the Kamikaze. It explains why the fleet had to remain at the base even under constant attack from land-based Japanese planes, and portrays the results. “Sand and Flam'e.” Most everyone is familiar with glass, its uses in everyday life are so varied and so many, but few have ever had the oppor tunity to explore this fascinating industry to see the making of glass from sand and flame. Magazine Musts “The Good News Days”, an article in Coronet, gives the story of how a disease, which was contagious in the old days, is not contagious now. The Good Old Days were not so wonder ful after all. War and many other problems are confronting us, but these things have always happened in the years before. Life has always been dangerous, but never before has it had so many compensations for so many people. “Every Woman Should Learn a Trade”, is an article, on page 51 of April issue of Good House keeping, which tells how im portant it is that every woman, married or single, ,should learn some trade whether she will' ever have to use it or not. Rare Bird Jimmy Page, standing on a stool in biology lab, was so ab sorbed in the display that he was putting up that he uncon sciously began to whistle. “Listen!” someone commented. “Where’s the bird?” “Aw, relax!” advised Jimmy, coming to. “It’s just a stool pigeon.” GIRLS “Good leadership and sports manship, I guess.” —Virginia Helms. “Leadership, ability, and one who is willing to be helpful.” — Phyllis Greer. “One that is honest and can do the work.” — Jean Taylor. “Anyone who has a good head on his shoulders.” — Pat Allan. “Let’s see.

Campus Chatter What’s your trouble? There shouldn’t be any if you’ve been as active around town these last several weeks as most AHS students have been. Things have really been bubbling. Easter holidays seem to have brought along every type of fun imaginable. Lewis Kluttz, Emily Milton, and Sylvia Morrow say Charleston was fine, but the sun was a little on the warm side. Wanted: someone to teach how to row a boat. Reply to Doris Rogers, Shirley Boone, or Catherine Atkins. Which brings us to the question of the week: what two senior girls enjoyed a beau tiful trip to a town on the Lumber River over Easter Monday? How the Senior boys lost their charm? Then why do most of the freshmen girls carry a torch for freshmen or sophomore boys? For all those students who didn’t see the Junior-Senior Prom, we must say that it was lovely. And all those orchids the gals were sporting! Nor could we fail to comment on how nice the boys looked in their dinner jackets and suits. It makes one be lieve that there’s no place like Albemarle. Some unexpected couples showed up at the Prom in the per sons of James Lisk and Catherine Atkins, Doug Knotts and Sylvia Morrow, Bud Griffith and Jane Russell, Betty Crowell and Junior Josey, Emily Milton and William Litaker, Jimmy Skidmore and Bernice Roscoe. That week-end wasn’t all happiness for some couples, though, and six people are now humming, “It’s All Over Now,” huh, T-Boe McLendon and Judy Whitley, Leslie Swanner and Ruth Ann Copley, Carolyn Miller and Jerry Traywick? . Say, we thought that June was the month for weddings. May be Hilda Poplin and Katherine Shaver got their months mixed up. Johnny Eagle has become a milkman, or rather he’s taken up the habit of arriving home at 6 A. M. Better watch that stuff. There seems to be a difference of opinion about the party after the Junior-Senior. Some say there was nothing like it and others say that it was as boring as all get-out. What’s one to believe? Most people will remember for a long time, though, their first or last Prom at AHS, even if the party did break up at such an early hour as three. Those kids must have stayed up too late the night before. What’s the 'matter, Marilyn Greene? Can’t you interest J. C. Boone enough to keep him from wanting to go to Sanford? We hear that J. C. has another fan, too, in Scotland. That’s a little far off for a week-end trip. Have you noticed how nice, long, and curly the girls’ eyelashes are in Mrs. Fry’s English classes? Well, they owe it all to some eyelash curlers lying conspicuously on her desk. Now we leave you with this parting word. It all might be rite tendah. It all might be rite gay; But watch that getting moonstruck. In the middle of the day.
