This column was originally in
tended, if it was intended at all,
to be a haven for random cuts at
events Ihat take place anytime
within seven months of the writ
ing, jabs at people and/or teach
ers. But during the Christmas
holidays, New Year’s Day, and
thus far in January, nothing much
seems to have happened.
Sam Truette got 305 pounds of
weights for Christmas.
Peter Cluff got some Elizabeth
an madrigal records.

The preceding was in answer to
the vicious charge (and slander
ous, I might add, but I won’t) that
not enough names were getting
into this section of the paper, that
we on the staff laughingly call a
“column.” So there! Editors! Ha!

RADIO STAFF
Organized for the first time in
September, 1963, the Radio Staff
of Albemarle Senior High School
presents a weekly program over
WZKY entitled “Inside Albemarle
Senior High School.” The purpose
of this program is to present
general school news, school sports
news, and a special feature con
cerning a specific area of the
school. Heading the 1964 staff as
editor is Gwen Sasser; news staff,
Matilda Boone; feature staff. Wan-

ideas concerning the national and
world affairs.
For the sophomores, now is the
time to broaden your scope of
knowledge and skills by par
ticipating in extra-curricular ac
tivities that could benefit and
broaden your individual skills;
nevertheless, good grades should
definitely be of key importance.
By theory, this last semester
would be the ideal time to pull
up those low, first-semester
grades. You’d be surprised how
much your yearly average could
be improved if you would concen
trate on those studies a little
more. When you’re a senior,
you’ll be thankful that you did.
You’ll find that those sophomore
grades could have meant the dif
ference between the range of ac
tivities and choices of colleges
that are available.
Finally, for the seniors it is
never too late to better prepare
yourself for college or later life.
Doing so will never be regretted.

The radio class is designed to
acquaint interested students with
the broadcasting field, especially
with the operation of radio. Dur
ing second semester. Miss Stasa-
vich, class adviser, plans to add
several sophomore students to the
fifteen present class members. At
this time she plans to conduct a
study of the technical aspects of
radio.
Special activities thus far pro
moted by the radio staff include
the Mystery Student Contest and
Sports Spotlights. A monthly fea
ture of the radio staff is the fea
turing of a high school talent
group. Exchange visits with
county school radio staffs have al
so been carried out.
A field trip to a Charlotte radio
and television station is planned
for the near future. A county-
wide radio club has been dis
cussed.
With all the fine work and ef
forts thus displayed, the Full
Moon wishes to congratulate the
Radio Staff for its excellent work.
