The Full Moon Vol. 34, No. 2 Albemarle Senior High School, Albemarle, N. C. Oct. 27, 1967 Kannapolis To Host State Student Council Congress Typing Classes To Organize School Booklet Mrs. Gehring’s Typing II classes are undertaking a unique task in combination with a re cent assignment. The two classes, composed of forty-two members, are learning to mimeograph stencils, each student being required to do at least one stencil on his assigned subject and an illustration. Since forty-two stencils would be a rather large waste, it was decided that something construc tive, should be done in accor dance with the assignment. Thus the idea of “Albemarle Senior High School, 1958-1968” was pro posed. This is to be a booklet of the past ten years’ recorded history of the school. Included in the booklet will be Classes, 19.58-1968, cheerlead ers, FHA, Student Government, FBLA, bands, majorettes, bas ketball. baseball, football, awards. Modern Music Masters, Library Club, DECA, The Full Moon, The Crossroads, Boosters Club, Black Masque Club, Youth for Democracy Club, and faculty and administration. Also included will be choruses. Health Careers Club, Y.M.C.A., Audio Visual Club. Science Club, Bible Club, golf. Wrestling, and cafeteria and maintenance staffs. Editors for the booklet are Debbie Clark, Jean Hatley, Pat Hill, and Ellen Lane; Eddie Huneycutt is in charge of the cover. When the booklet is completed, each homeroom will be given a copy. Individual students W'sn- ing a copy should see Mrs. Geh- ring. If there is a great number of those students desiring a copy, there will be a nominal charge placed on the booklets. A. L. Brown High School in Kannapolis will host the annual North Carolina Student Council Congress November 12-14. Official delegates will be Da vid Hall, Beth Burris, and Dick Ross.

The Albemarle squad will be battling the number one class 3-A foot ball team in North Carolina, Lexington. Aside from the fine half- time festivities, the home town gridiron will produce some of the most exciting pigskin competition of the season. The host team will be bat tling for its initial victory in the SPC. So far in the con ference campaign, the Bull dogs have been unable to put together a winning combina tion, Of course, the Lexington Yellow-Jackets are hoping to maintain their top rank. This highly rated team has dis played an ideal defense to back up the sparkling offense of its players. So, in conclusion, the "Qamc of the Week” in Stanly Coun ty is certainly the Bulldog homecoming. Every spectator can see one excellent foot ball competition. Take A Peek!

From these criteria, the Univer sity selects a limited number of young men who possess high mor al, social, and academic qualities. Throughout his high school career, John has been a very active student maintaining a high B average Gilmore Addresses Student Body State Senator Voit Gilmore, who has just returned irom one week at the fighting South Vietnam, addressed we student body Tuesday, October 17, during a sixth period assem bly. David Hall, Student Council president, welcomed guests, ana Teresa Wagoner presented a devotional. In introducing Mr. Gilmore, Tom Adams stated that th^e Winston-Salem native, now ot Southern Pines, is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the Univer sity of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, with a B.A. in journalism and’political science. Serving as a Rockefeller “gov ernment intern” at the National Institute of Public Affairs in Washington, D. C., he was as signed to the White House staff as a secretary to Senator Josiah W.

He became the first head of the new program to develop international tourism to the United States.

In addition to his trip to South Vietnam, special travels have included three expeditions to the Antarctic and one to the Arctic. Addressing the assembly on his trip to Vietnam as a news paperman, Mr. Gilmore stated that the war in Vietnam is re ceiving the best press coverage of any war in history. He observed active combat and even stood in an American trench while shots were being fired at point-blank range. > Actor Robert Mitchum was his touring companion in Vietnam. They visited the U. S. S. Kitty Hawk, a one million dollar air craft carrier with a crew of 5200 men. Mr. Gilmore stated that because the ship is so large, it uses its own television broad casting station for intercommuni cation. Mr. Gilmore briefly discussed his experiences in eastern Eu rope. He stated that the contact of people from the free world with those people behind the Iron Curtain is in itself a major breakthrough in the quest for freedom. “Look! No chocolate mess with World’s Finest!” says the little chocolate man. Annual Chocolate Sale Increases School Funds At the conclusion of the second annual chocolate sale, prizes were awarded to the top salesmen. First prize of $30 was awarded to Mickey Thompson, who sold $95.50 worth of World’s Finest Chocolate. Melanie Morris garner ed second prize, worth $20. Third prize winner, Don Layton, received $15 for selling $75.00 worth of chocolate. Having many good salesmen, ASHS awarded a fourth prize of $5 to the following students; Claudia Monroe, John Blackwell, Shelia Ritchie, David Mills and Ted Davis. Mrs. Crisco’s homeroom won the homeroom prize for selling $475.00 worth of chocolate. For their re ward, they will travel to Char lotte to see a show at the Char lotte Coliseum this winter. Assembly Kick-Off Sale The school-wide sale of World’s Finest Chocolate began October 5 with a “kick off” assembly. Spokesmen from each class en couraged the entire student body to participate in this Student Coun cil project. A group of senior girls started the assembly with a medley of popular tunes slightly paraphrased to lend to the atmosphere of the impending sale. Next, David Hall, as the little chocolate man, added his words of encouragement. Other seniors who participated in the assembly were Jimmy Har wood, vice-president of the Senior Class, and Kitty Fisher and Mike Melton, who showed students how to sell and how not to sell World’s Finest Chocolate. Junior Class president, Dick Ross, told the students of the finan cial importance of the chocolate sale. The success of most school clubs and activities depends on the outcome of this fund raising cam paign. Tommy Adams, also a jun ior, did a parody of Lincoln’s Get tysburg Address starting “Two score and seven years ago, our nation brought forth a new candy bar . . .” Sophomore Appeal Hits Home Ricky Swaringen, Sophomore Class President, made an appeal to his fellow class members—an appeal which was apparently well headed. During the next week the Sophomore Class outsold the Sen ior and Junior Classes two to one. The chocolate was handled through the homerooms with Stu dent Council representatives, homeroom team captains, and homeroom teachers being respon sible for distribution of Chocolate, collection of money, and keeping of records. Mrs. Amy Wolf and Mrs. Anne Kepley, the two aides to the English department, were responsible for the collection, hand ling, and tabulating of chocolate sale money from each homeroom. To boost sales the Student Coun cil introduced two “mystery buy ers” each week. Clues to identify those persons were given until stu dents approached Marsh P. Stock ton, Mary Lou Niven, Dillon Har ris and Jimmy Napier and receiv ed a bonus of $4.50. Presidents Report Class Sales Another assembly was staged in the midst of the campaign to in form the student body of the de velopment of the Student Council project and to bolster the lagging chocolate sales. David Hall, the little chocolate man, initiated the assembly pro gram with information about the progress of the sale. Next, Ricky Swaringen reported on the success of the Sophomore Class in the chocolate sale and encouraged his fellow classmates to keep up the good work. Dick Ross reminded juniors that the renewal of the chocolate sale depended on the success of this year’s sale. David Mills, addressing the seniors as “chocolate drop-outs,” paid re spect to the Sophomore Class that had outsold them two to one. A battle for second and third place was evident as the Senior Class led the Junior Class by a $5.00 margin in sales. Underclassmen Are Tops At the conclusion of the sale, it was evident that sophomores were tops in salesmanship; they collect ed $2465.00 in funds. The Junior Class trailed with $1306.44, and the Senior Class was in the cellar with $1201.45. Sales totaled $5210.49. % Jane Lewder was judged as a semi-finalist in the Miss Teenage Charlotte Pageant, Octol^r 21. Here she rehearses her talent routine.
