The Senior Choir is planning to
participate in the Six Flags Over
Georgia Choral Festival in April.
The three-day open competition
will be April 19 through 21.
Held at the Six Flags Over
Georgia Amusement Center near
Atlanta, the festival will feature
some of the best high school
choirs in the Southeast. En
sembles from mixed choruses to
girls choruses will participate.
The Senior Choir, under the
direction of Mr. Robert Jones,
has engaged in fund raising
projects and solicitations of local
businesses to raise needed funds
for the trip. In February, the
Choir sold doughnuts and made
over $200.00, all of which will go
towards the trip. The group also
sold tickets for the Kiwanis Club
Pancake Festival from which
they received one fourth of the
profit. A Gospel Sing, which
featured the Chandler Family of
Albemarle, was held in the Senior
High Auditorium.
Mr. Jones commented, “I want
this trip to be a musical success
and a boost to the choral music
program in the Albemarle City
Schools.”

The Junior officers and
Council are making plans for the
upcoming Junior-Senior Prom
planned for May 18. Stanly Tech
has tentatively been chosen as
the place for the prom. Many
ideas have been brought forth to
promote prom preparations from
council meetings. One idea
presented is the theme,
“Moonlight Cruise,” which will
be similar to the popular
television program “Love Boat”.
Mr. Stan Butler, a physical
education teacher and coach, is
the Junior Class Sponsor. The T-
Shirt Sale, which took place from
February 27-March 6, was a
money-raising project for the
promotion of the prom.
Three types of T-Shirts were
sold during the sale. One con
sisted of a white background with
a bulldog and “Albemarle Senior
High” printed on it. Another was
especially designed by each
individual class, but each had the
names of the class members. The
third type had “District 5
Champions” printed on them.
This sale began March 5, in order
for the students to wear the shirts
to the State Tournament at
Durham. Blue gym shorts with a
white bulldog and socks with a
bulldog were sold also. The
money gained from these sales
went for the prom.
The Junior Council consists of
two representatives, chosen by
each Junior homeroom, and the
four class officers: Donna Laton,
president; Connie Murrell, vice
president; Beth Mabry,
secretary; and Rosemary
Morton, treasurer. The council
members for this year are:
Dianne Brown, Shannon Bowers,
Pam Cox, Ann Dennis, Kim
Hughes, Stacey Hunsucker, Lisa
Mercer, Sonya Mabe, Carla
Perry, Vickie Penfield, Karen
Souther, and Kathy Wagoner.
Plans are being made now for
the selection of a band from the
varieties of bands available for
May 18. This decision will be
reached soon as work continues
for the upcoming prom.
