Page 8 THE FULL MOON Friday, May 1, 1952 Students Up With Birds In Interest Of Biology Joe Gaskin Student Rotarian " ** Joe Gaskin, youngest mem ber of the senior class, chosen Student Rotarian for month of April. 'Give and Take' Published By Albemarle City Schools All the sleepy expressions on the faces of the sophomores are not due to getting to bed too late, but due to getting up very early to go on one of Mrs. Lyke’s early morning nature walks. These nature walks have a three-fold purpose; first, to ob serve and identify birds; second, to study plants; third, to help the students to have a better appreci ation of nature. After eating breakfast at home, the students meet at an appointed place near the locale of that day’s walk. The students walk and ob serve what they can see; then they take notes on their observa tions. After about an hour of walking, they come to school or return to their homes. Quite a few birds have been seen on these walks. Among them are: Downy Woodpeckers, Red headed Woodpeckers, Flickers, Mocking birds, Nighthawks, Blue Jays, Crows, Starlings, Finches, Sparrows, and Cardinals. The students identified these birds either by their cheracteristics or by their song. The following students have taken these trips; Sally Crook, C. B. Crook, Jo Anne Ward, Victor Dry, “Ottie” Lynn, Georgia Beav er, Susie Skidmore, Patty Sue Al mond, Laura Doby, Kathryn Groves, Claude Grigg, Dan Sibley, Bobbie Eudy, and the members of the first period biology class.

Weaver Explains Freedom Of Press “A newspaper must render a service to the community and make a returning profit to the owner,” said Georg*e Weaver, News Editor of the Stanly News and Pre^s, during his discussion of Freeedom of the Press to Mrs. Fry’s Full Moon class on April 6. There are certain limitations that a newspaper must abide by. Three of the most important ones are honesty, printing the truth at all times; decency; and pub lic safety—not printing anything that would help the enemy dur ing a war. After Mr. Weaver’s talk, the students asked questions and a disciission Deriod followed.
