With the arrival of summer
vacation, the first thoughts are
those 'of the beach. Regardless
of their various objectives, hun
dreds of young people will in
variably head to the shores af
ter graduation.
Since the condition created at
this time is often loaded and
capable of exploding at any
time, the teen-ager should be
ready to react to any situation.
The only essential items needed
for a trip to the beach are a
thumb and a draft card. The
rest can be either begged, bor
rowed, or stolen.
Take for example the prob
lem of housing. Surely with the
summertime population of
North Myrtle Beach being over
10,000, you are bound to know
someone there who will be will
ing to put you up for a few
nights. If not, just hang around
the amusement park for a while,
and when a friendly policeman
passes jump on the merry-go-
round without paying, he will
be glad to provide a comfortable
bed and all the bread and water
you can eat. Otherwise regard
ing food—Who needs to eat at
the beach?

Chicken Scratchin'
And Shady Symbols
By HALSEY TAYLOR
Ric Taylor displays a good ‘rule of thumb’ for getting to the beach.
the problem of transportation.
If you are without wheels, look
for two smaller kids on a b»cycle
built for two or a steam roller
conveniently parked on the side
of the road. Both are cheaper
than a cab.
If money is your problem, re
member these two methods of
getting rich quick. The more
effective method is by the old
line, “Hey, how about loaning
me five bucks, to get my friend
out of jail.” The other method,
not as effective but much more
popular is the line, “Hey, how
about loaning me ten bucks to
get my friend out of jail.”
If you have any other diffi
culties perhaps you should can
cel your trip to the beach and
go to Day Camp.
In this last issue, The Full Moon staff is striving to spotlieht
student achievement in all categories. We feel that certain scho-
Ij^tic efforts have been ignored in the past. In conjunction with
the English department, we print below the outstandins book,
report of the year: ®
This book was absolutely fantastic, it is Webster’s New Inter
national Dictionary, Second Edition, Unabridged
main fault was that it takes about 21/2 years to read its
J194 pages. The Biographical Pronouncing Gazette was not exactly
lively reading and was definitely the work of a long-winded and
unimaginative mind.
The plot was also bad. One could be reading about Genghis Khan
to Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, never to hear
ot Genghis again. I believe this to be a lack of organization.
The strong point of the book was its great symbolism, especially
the phonetic symbols. The abbreviations were often confusing and led
to many shady meanings.
It was very hard to read since every word in it was divided with
chicken scratchings all around it. In fact, I’m not sure whether it
was written in English or not. ^ By Ray Von Hunnicutt
Because of the vast number of students going to the beach after
graduation, the school administration has decided to break with tradi
tion and hold graduation exercises at Ocean Drive. Plans are beine
made to hold the ceremony in the Bingo Room of Ocean Drive Pavilion
Immediately following, the graduates will be served refreshments on
the house at the Beach Party next door. Later the students will have
a social hour at The Pad. We expect this year’s graduation to be the
biggest social event since the Teen Dem rally in Albemarle.
Susan's 'Dream'
Wakes Judges
Susan Squires, a junior at Se
nior High, recently gained recog
nition in the Jessie Rehder High
School Poetry Contest. Her poem,
Dream,” was chosen as runner-
from over 600 poems which
Were submitted in the state-wide
contest. “Dream,” which appears
below, was chosen for its original
ity and message.
t, , Dream
Snail-legs
I dream color
and stone,
profound movements cancel
lesser forms
wnile restraining
most important
limbs.
A dereliction of finer hopes
Could wish for more than this,
Bound
head and feet,
imprisoned
And nonexistent, confined
and solidly
Immobile, I am
In need of
greater flight than
Snail-legs can provide.
Susan, who has been writing
poetry for about two and a half
y^ars, says that the interpreta
tions of "Dream” are varied.
I composed the poem simply to
convey the feeling that you get
a dieam when you need to
*^n but can’t. However, most
people read deeper meaning into
ne poem and think it deals with
nte and a desire for high attain-
^^nt. I only hope that each per-
^n who reads it can find his own
niessage in it.”

Albemarle Senior High School

Take the subjects you are really
interested in and study them
well. Join the clubs or organi

and hard work into them. Be
patient and open-minded and
have a blast with your fellow-
man.—Teresa Wagoner.
May the memory of me be en
graved in your memories, if
not on your desks.—Hootfish.
