Page 4 THE FULL MOON February, 1955 BULLDOG BARKS ATHLETE OF THE MONTH Louise Cooper There goes two points for Albemarle High. This is usually the case when Louise Cooper, Co-captain of the girls’ basketball team, puts her old stuff on the ball. Her deadly shots and fast breaks have won her the-title of Co-captain. She is well liked by all the members of her squad and also her classmates. Her numerous activities and the way she carries them out have won her friends all through high school. She is a very active member of the Monogram club and the Boosters club. Louise played the role of Aunt Agatha in the Junior play, “A Ready-Made Family”, and held the audience with her fine acting. She is a member of the feature staff of the Full Moon and of the art staff of Crossroads. Louise is undecided about her future, but she surely has been seeing a lot of a boy named “Chunk”. Larry Chcmce The ball is arched up toward the basket by a member of the A. H. S. basketball team, and chances are that it is none other than Larry Chance, Athlete of the Month for February, pour ing in another one of his frequent baskets. This is Larry’s third year of varsity basketball and even though he is only about 5 ft. 8 in. tall, he always turns in a very creditable job at one of the guard positions for the Bulldogs. On numerous occasions Larry has stolen the ball from an opponent and dribbled down the court for an easy layup and two points. Basketball doesn’t occupy all of Larry’s time because he has found time during his high school career to take part in many other school activities. ’ He is a member of the Hi-Y club, Boosters club, Monogram club, Mixed Chorus, baseball team, and has been a member of the Student Council. Future Football People in Albemarle High School have already started think ing about next year’s football team, which will have the job of defending the crown of the Southern Division of the South Pied mont Conference. Next year’s team got off to a fine start by electing Wade Smith and Luther Kimery as co-captains for the 1955 season. Also returning for another season will be Edshay Brunson, who played some fine games for the Bulldogs this past season. Some new faces will probably be seen when Robert Smith, Joe Kluttz, Eddie Fenters and many other boys get their chance to play full time. In the line Lane Lowder, Junior Dennis, Roger Whitley, Roger Mauldin, and Punkin Gantt should show the opponents that the Bulldogs will still have a mighty strong line. The losses from this year’s team will be heavy in some posi tions but as always Coach Webb will find somebody to fill the gaps. Good luck to next year’s Bulldogs! Boosters Great turnouts at the basketball games are the results of the fine job done by Zalotta Harris and her helpers. Zalotta with the aid of her helpers has put schedules in just about every place of business in town. There is also one in every classroom. For the first time in the history of A. H. S., we are having fine music at the games rendered by a few of Mr. Hatley’s band mem bers. It seems to put a feeling of liveliness in the crowd. Mr. R. C. Hatley is doing a great job of announcing and we hope they all keep up the good work. B. H.
