Page 4 THE FULL MOON February 13, 1953 Bulldog Barks Charles McManus James Gibson ATHLETES OF THE MONTH JANET TROUTMAN As a guard on the A. H. S. girls’ basketball team, Janet Trout man does some fine work, though she doesn’t get a chance to make a name for herself as high scorer. She has played on the varsity club for two years, and before that, she played on the Tri-Hi-Y team. Usually at all the games you will see Janet’s future husband, Fred Braswell. As anyone could guess, he and basketball are two of 4ier favorite pastimes. A future husband and basketball seem to be listed high on her agenda, and therefore Janet thinks they should be given much of her extra time. It is n,ot unusual for a student’s grades to fall when a sport which demands as much time as basketball is participated in, but not Janet’s. They’re just as high as ever, and that is why she is a member of the National Honor Society. CHUNK BARRINGER The boy that we have chosen this month as our outstanding athlete is none other than Wayne Barringer, better known as “Chunk". “Chunk” has a fine personality and is well-known at A. H. S. His friendly personality and his warm sense of humor are just a few of his likeable characteristics. Chunk has been a member of the Bulldogs’ basketball team for two years, where he has been an outstanding player and an asset to the team. He hails from a family of basketball players and seems to feel at home on the court. He stands 6 ft. 1 in. and holds down his position as a forward. Chunk, a well-rounded player, is an outstanding offensive player as well as defensive. He has taken an active part in other organizations and has been a loyal worker in these clubs. He was a member of the champion intramural football team, the softball, 10th grade basketball, and Junior “Y” teams. BASKETBALL AGAIN The other Friday night, January 23, was a real turnover in the attendance at the basketball games. There could be several factors behind the attendance records, but we think there are several important things that should be mentioned. They are: 1) the invitation that the students were given so graciously from Mr. Cashwell; 2) the homeroom with the highest per cent over that of 50% has the right to come to the next home game free of charge; 3) the Junior class has made the necessary plans for a concession stand; 4) the cheerleaders show a great willingness to carry the team to victory through their yells; 5) last, but by no means least, the basketball teams. The people of Albeinarle and the students know we have two good teams, and this is one of the main factors for our attendance increasing at the game between Asheboro and the local Bulldogs. All of the things we have suggested are fine, but there seem to be a few improvements we could make: 1) Make an effort to get all the fans on one side of the gym. When we get all of the Albemarle fans together we can have some rafter-raising yells. 2) Assemble the public address system at our basketball games. At the beginning of the game each player’s name could be announced and he could take his proper place on the court, whether it be center, forward or guard. Then when a player makes a point or foul the event could be announced over the P. A. system. The fans could be informed ori the official statistics of the game. We are sure the games would be more interesting if these' simple suggestions were carried out. MORGAN MOTOR COMPANY Dollar For Dollar . . . You Can't Beat PONTIAC!
