June, 1955 THE FULL MOON Page 3 Seniors Have Cinderella Theme For Annual Banquet WHO'S WHO The theme of Cinderella was beautifully carried out at the A. H.S. Senior Banquet held Friday night, May 13. When the members of the sen ior class and the guests entered the attractively decorated cafe teria, they saw a huge pumpkin drawn by four comical mice rep resenting Cinderella’s coach. Featured in the colorful mural was Cinderella descending the castle steps after losing her slip per. The tables were attractive ly arranged with center pieces of green gardens and small dolls dressed as Cinderella and Prince Charming. From the ceiling were strung multi-colored balloons, all giving the effect of a ball room in Prince Charming’s cas tle. After the Alma Mater sung by the class and invocation by Mr. Claud Grigg, a' delicious meal consisting of Prince Charming’s choice, baked ham; Tiny Magic Wands, green beans; Coachman’s Potato Delight, parsleyed pota toes; Cinderella’s Rags, head let tuce with thousand island dress ing; Royal Buns, hot rolls; Glass Slipper Julip, iced tea; and Straw berry Castle, strawberry short- cake, was enjoyed by those pres ent.

PAT ALLAN Pat Allan—the senior girl with a million nicknames—is selected to be this. month’s Who’s Who. With her wonderful personality and willingness to help with everything, she has attained many honors in her high school career. If you saw “The Bishop’s Man tle,” “Uninvited Ghost”, or “Bob bie Sox”, you probably saw Pat as an actress. With all her many activities she excels in dramatics. This year she has been presi dent of the Black Masque Club. Pat has been on the debating team for several years, and this year reached the semi-finals at Catawba College. In the Mixed Chorus, Pat has sung alto for three years. Her ability to sing enabled her to be in the Girls’ Ensemble and to represent the chorus at Greens boro in the State Choral Festival. The varsity basketball squad claims her as an outstanding forward, and this year she was awarded a lettered sweater. Letter girl. Student Council representative, editdr of the tenth grade hewspaper, T. B. es say winner, assembly committee. Future Citizen, Junior-Senior Prom committee—all represent a hard-working girl. In anything Pat undertakes,she is “tops”. President of the Youth Fellow ship, alto in the Church choir, and speaker for the Youth Sun day are just a few of the things Pat does at her church, the First Presbyterian. Just show Pat a tall boy that looks like Marlon Brando and then serve her barbecued chick en, rice and gravy, blueberry muffins, and a big slice of coco nut cake, and you’ll find she’s a happy girl. Pat plans to enter W. C. next year and then attend Carolina for the last two years. She will probably major in journalism. Whatever she does, we know she will be a great success in life.

Skipper has made an enviable record. Most people think of Skipper as the tailback on the 1955 foot ball team. He was not only out standing in football, but he al so played varsity basketball and ran on the track team. This year’s Crossroads was a big success, much of the credit going to Skipper, who did an ex cellent job as business manager. If you came to (Science Fair, you couldn’t help seeing or hear ing Skipper’s model jet engine. He has also done other projects for Science Fairs in past years. Skipper has received many honors while in high school. He is a member of the National Honor Society, Junior Red Cross Council, Booster’s and Monogram clubs. He was chairman of the Junior-Senior Prom commjittee, a student Rotarian, marshal, and member of the sports staff of the Full Moon. This spring Skipper received another high honor. He was giv en a principal appointment to Annapolis. Skipper passed the stiff mental and physical exams with flying colors. Next year the Naval Academy will be honored to have this versatile boy. Skipper’s ideal girl is tall and slender, with dark hair and a Col gate smile. He isn’t too particu lar about his food as long as there’s plenty of it. He would never miss a movie with Grace Kelly and Marlon Brando. The story of Skipper Gantt is the story of a boy who became a success in everything he under took, and if this article were written twenty years from now it would certainly paint the same picture—success. “I fell just like a hot potato— dropped.”—Skipper Gantt.
