Page 2 THE FOOL MOON April, 1953 Merchants Are Merchants Just Imagine — Confederate Motors as Yankee Motors. J. C. Penney’s as J. C. Nickels. Elder Wholesale as Younger Wholesale. The Goody Shop as the Bad Shop. Home Builders Association as Home Wreckers Association. State Capital Life Ins. as National Capital Life Ins. Harwood’s Florist as Softwood’s Florist. Hartsell Funeral Home as Hartbuy Funeral Home. Modern Beauty Shoppe as Ancient Beauty Shoppe. Eagle Jewelers as Crow Jewelers. Ritchie Auto Parts as Poorie Auto Parts. First National Bank as the Last National Bank. T & T Motors as Dynamite Motors. Would you believe the City Barber Shop Stills Oil from Fink’s Studio. The sheriff fell dead when he heard that E. B. Stone was wearing James’ Clothing. WHAT'S WHAT Personals Donny Smith entertained a group of friends at a rattlesnake stew and snail fry at his home last week. For dessert “Red Cross Beans” were served. Everyone present was presented a door prize— a sample package of “Mild-Strong Snuff.” Russell Mauldin has recently won a $10,000 scholarship to Columbia School of Medicine for his fine work in biology. His most outstanding feat was disection of the amoeba—even its brain was clearly visible. Barely escaping injuries that could have been as bad as a broken arm or leg, Mary Lynn Angel fell from a 1000 foot cliff while touring Morrow Mountain one night about three o’clock. The reason she was unharmed was due to the fact that 100 geese had died at the bottom of the cliff and Mary Lynn just fell on a nice soft pile of goose down. The senior class invited every member of the senior classes from UNC and Duke to see the senior play, “The Thing”. This made the auditorium a little crowded, so every one just moved out to the athletic field and the play cast gave a delightful open-air per formance—so delightful in fact, that the county agreed to build a $3,000,000 amphitheater for the Nervous-Jumpy Dramatics Club, under the direction of “Shot-Nerves” Bankett. Mr. Waldorf and Mrs. Astoria of New York picked Albemarle recently, to have a clandestine affair. They thought this would be far enough away that their respective spouses wouldn’t find them. While visiting the fair city they ate in the school cafe teria. They so enjoyed the AHS soup that they hired the head cook and took her back to New York to make her head * Cheffess of the Waldorf-Astoria. P.S. Their mates didn’t even get mad about their trip, be cause they were so pleased with the results. Foolish Fashions By MARILYN GREENE Hi there! Well, here I am again with lots of lovely (I hope) garb and stuff to talk about. Have you seen those darling spring coats at Moose’s? (John David just loves them, girls.) They’re made with a fold-back col lar, with three-quarter length sleeves, but the best thing about these coats is that the back is cut out! (For coolness, you know.) They’re stunning, girls, and take my word for it, if you get one of these backless coats you’ll have every one’s eye. The most popular colors are: apple butter brown, pimple pink, tutti-frutti purple, and lemon-peel yellow. And they only cost $1.98! (plus tax) Of course, if you can’t afford a new one you can always cut the back out i, of one of your old winter coats and it’ll look as good as those advertised in the “Frog Pond Times”, where Moose’s ordered theirs, If you don’t believe these coats are neat looking, take a look at the girls who have one: “Skinny” Wilhelm, Betty Russell, “Pigme Swaringen. Another popular style for the spring is “without-a-top” shoes. These shoes are made up of a shoe sole. You are, when you buy the shoes, provided with a tube of Duco-Cement glue (courtesy Drug Centre) in order to glue the soles to the bottom of your feet, leaving the top completely bare. These shoes look real cute on your foot, unless of course you have bunions or corns! Get a pair, gals, or you’ll be left out. I have wonderful news for the girls here at A.H.S. A letter has just. been received by your fashion editor saying that Mr Bobby Reeves, famous makeup artist for MGM movies, will be in Albemarle on April 31, and will take appointments now for those of you who wish to have advice on makeup and facials. You see how lovely the movie stars look—well, if you want to look like your favorite movie star, get in touch with me for an appointment with Mr. Reeves. , He used to go to high school here, you know, and he’s written me that he’s just dying to see the girls from Albemarle high school again. He says that Albemarle is the “city of beautiful women.” Before this paper went to press these appointments were made: Gracie Speights, Nancy Morris, Marion Stiller, Janice Eury, and Lillian Watkins. Hurry, hurry, girls, or there won’t be any appointments left. The Fool Moon Published Monthly by Members of Mrs. Fry’s First Period Senior English Class STAFF.

She has built a deep, dark tunnel in the wall and has all the modern conveniences of the Middle Age. How this tiny, helpless girl built this tunnel is still unknown, but Mr. Cashwell has been beating her every second period trying to make her tell.
