Page Four THE FULL MOON November 3, 1972 Start The Day With A Prayer Students of Senior High are fortunate to have in their midst Mr. Charles Swanner who wants to share with thein his sincere dedication and belief in Christ. Mr. Swanner, who formed The Fellowship of Christian Athletes last year, started a Bible Study class this year. All students are invited to attend this class which meets Tuesday and Thursday morn ings at 8 a.m. in room 202. Mr. Swanner says, “The Bible class benefits its 20-30 members by giving them a better outlook on the-day and improving their day.” He also feels that students are better able to cope with the problems which face them after beginning their day within the class. The class starts with a prayer and continues with a reading of a passage from the Bible. Students can take an active part in the class if they so desire, by also reading a scripture. The meeting ends in prayer and students begin the school day with alert minds. Students seem to be intereted in the class and if this interest continues the class may be offered a third day each week. The meetings will continue throughout the year, and, hopefully, carry over to next year. Oub Capers At Senior High Is Everybody Healthy ?

FBLA Decides On Leaders “Preventive dentistry is the dentistry of today,” stated Mrs. Lyna Furr, registered dental hygienist from Dr. Maurice Richardson’s office. Mrs. Furr spoke about the career of dental hygiene to the Health Careers Club October 12. Mrs. Furr explained that dental hygienists are dental missionaries in the field of dental health education. They do not work directly with dentists. Their work includes cleaning teeth, taking X-rays, and doing some orthodontal work. ✓ Mrs. Furr pointed out that dental hygienists are in great demand. They have a good job and good hours. Mrs. Furr works an average of four and a half days. After the lecture, Mrs. Furr used Debra Bryson in a demonstration, illustrating the use of a disclosing tablet and dental floss. The next meeting will be November 9. Members will discuss plans for upcoming field trips and projects. Science Has Its Problems In its organization meeting on October 12, the Science Club decided to turn its attention to a serious problem in the science department. Mr. Chuck Smith, Science Club advisor, reported that the laboratories have a great lack of equipment. He stated that an enormous amount of money had been spent to update the laboratories and they still are 10 years behind the times. As Mr. Smith put it, “Instead of a dime cup of Coke and a hard cookie we can have some decent lab equipment.” So the club decided to use all the collected dues and the refreshment fund to buy equipment. The club also elected David Gore to the office of president, Bonnie Little is serving as vice-president, and Rene Brown as treasurer.

Albemarle Hosts NCAE Work began for the Third Annual District Eight conven tion of the North Carolina Association "Of Educators at 1 p.m. October 16. Six students unloaded and set up tables in the gym to hold the exhibits displayed by many of the national educational com panies. Salesmen set up their displays from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m., continuing the next morning at 7 o’clock as teachers from the district gradually streamed into the school. At 9 o’clock the convention officially began with a general session in the auditorium. At 10:05 teachers attended mini sessions in classrooms. Despite the helpful efforts of Junior Civitan members direct ing traffic, the parking lot grew more and more crowded with cars, backing up to Highway 52. The traffic jam deminished by 10:30, and all action transferred to the inside of the building. At 1 o’clock classroom teachers attended a luncheon in the school cafeteria while the directors of instruction, princi pals, and superintendents dined at the Heart of Albemarle Motel. By 2 o’clock all of the companies had packed up and left. The parking lot had emptied, and the only sign of a convention was the debris left behind. The convention of “Educators in Action” was over and Senior High returned to normal with the sound of the 8:25 a.m. school bell Wednesday morning. qOS^ ers T>^E SUM IN ^ WITH CLOTMES RND fiCCESSORIES TO 'PLEfiSE YOU.
