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.

TONY WHITLEY
...Guest Speaker
Whitley Speaks Out
Mr. Tony Whitley, Republi
can candidate for the North
Carolina House of Representa
tives, spoke to Miss McKenzie’s
Western World Studies classes
Wednesday, October 11.
Mr. Whitley is a design
engineer employed by Federal
Pacific Electric Company.
North Carolina government
was the topic of Mr. Whitley’s

of other Republican candidates
on the state and national level.
Class members asked Mr.
Whitley questions on various
political issues in the state and
the nation.
Miss McKenzie’s classes are
involved in a study of political

After the installation cere
mony, Mr. Don Frey from the

work. He said that there was a
growing need for women in
police work; not only for
secretaries, but also for
work with the juvenile depart
ment.

served, furnished by members
of the FBLA.
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.

Mrs. Mary Swanner, Mr. Swanner and Sandra Pollard discuss
the Bible.
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.
