Page 2 THE FULL MOON // 10 With today’s quest for perfection in mind, our roving reporters surveyed students of Albe- niarle Senior High School in an attempt to find a perfect “10”. The results of our undertaking are shown here. If these “gods and goddesses” don’t look familiar to you, don’t be alarmed Since perfection is scarce these days, we’ve combined the best facial features of the winners and formed these composite pictures. And now (with strains of Ravel’s “Bolero” in mind) the winners are. . . ^ , Upper Class Under Class 1- “PS Dan McKeithen, Mary Mullinix Mack Morgan, Cynthia Murrell 2 ) smile Dan McKeithen, Tammy Dwight Doug Winecoff, Mary Moose 3-J eyes Will Jolly, Tammy Dwight Anthony Reese, Taren Russell 4 ) nose Kenneth Russell, Connie Murrell Nick Chris, Terry Howard 5 ) hair Doug Faulkner, Tammy Dwight Tim Helms, Taren Russell 6- ;egs Bryan Shumate, Pam Cox Tim Helms, Cynthia Murrell I'l body Dave Moose, Kim Montgomery Tim Helms, Cynthia Murrell voice Arlie Sides, Paula Cox Mack Morgan, Kathy Love 9- wit Kenneth Russell, Beth Mabry Todd Rogers, Robin Jolly 10.) personality ..

Focus: May 9,1980 Responsible Student Leadership By TAMMY DWIGHT Student leadership, whether one realizes it or not, is a major issue concerning Albemarle High School. This concern should be especially important now with the upcoming elections. Un fortunately, our student body does not respect our student government, or is it our student government that does not respect our student body? The student government is much weaker this year. The main responsibility they have had is the Blood Give-in, which was suc cessful. But what else has been accomplished? Perhaps school leadership has diminished with our school spirit. For example, last year the president assumed the responsibility of opening and closing assemblies. This year our principal assumes that role. It would not be surprising if half of the new students do not know who is president of the school, let alone vice president, secretary and treasurer (until the annual comes out). Another responsibility of last year’s student council was to decorate the bulletin boards around the school. Every month two students were assigned to a board. This year the art class does the boards. The main reason for the change was that only a few students on the council would take the time and accept the re sponsibility to do them. Other wise they would not get done. Still another problem exists this year. The eleventh grade of ficers were failing to show any ef fort toward the prom, a tradi tional responsibility. Therefore, a prom committee was formed to do their job. So why not have just a prom committee each year and forget about a student govern ment that has no apparent ambi tion? The answer is obvious: electing officers and having good leader ship in our school can be of value. The student body, however, must learn to choose leaders wisely for a responsible government. The results of the elections each year are so predictable. Whether one wants to benefit the school by be ing a good officer does not mat ter. The popular or well-known student wins. Possibly this is because those who do run do not campaign strong enough. So those students who do not know either of the candidates personally find them selves lost and choose the student who is better known. This year a strong campaign may be more important because of the in crease in students. Also, the gap between the ninth and eleventh grade may cause problems. The ninth grade is new and many more students may not know those running for office. Thus, the candidates must campaign per sonally, not just put up posters in the halls. Realizing what we are voting for is another major problem. We are voting for ourselves. We are voting for students who will be good leaders and who are able to carry out, support, and provide opportunities for our school and for us. As the student body, we must learn to pick our leaders wisely for a responsible govern ment. If we learn to listen to speeches analytically now, then we will be able to vote re sponsibly in the future. Soon we will be voting in our city, county, state, and country where elec tions determine our outcome. Hopefully this year we can use these good voting habits which will lead to better leadership in the schools next year and better leadership in the nation in the years to come.

Review A Variation on a Classic THE FULL MOON Albemarle Senior High School Albemarle, N.C. 28001 t m By KENNETH RUSSELL Pam Cox, Editor-In-Chief Sonya Mabe, News Editor Beth Mabry, Feature Editor Shannon Bowers, Asst. Feature Editor Tony Hinson, Sports Editor Christie Sasser, Asst.

The Full Moon is published nine times during the school year by the iournalism class of Albemarle Senior High School and is printed by Press Printing Company of Albemarle. Nosferatu may prove to be something of a shocker to Dracula fans. Not because of its bloody special effects, but because there are none. And yet this version of Bram Stoker’s classic novel is one of the most gripping and tense horror movies to date. This German film, by director Werner Herzog is, essentially, a tale of evil and innocence. By aiming for the heart rather than the gut, Her zog’s film succeeds where so many of today’s vampire movies fail. He tries to move rather than shock the audience. Dracula is played by an actor who is well-known in Germany, Klaus Kinski. With his bald head, white face, and strangely sympa thetic smile that reveals two rat-like teeth, this Dracula is one of the most frightening of all. And yet he is presented almost compassionate ly. He is a kind of incarnation of evil, but he is also a man who is suffer ing — suffering for love. On the receiving end of the vampire’s passion is Lucy Harker, por trayed by the startlingly beautiful French actress Isabelle Adjani. Lucy is a symbol of purity; in Herzog’s mythical world of innocence, she is still capable of fainting when faced with her amnesic husband after his visit to Castle Dracula. She loves her husband Jonathan so much, in fact, that she sacri fices herself to the vampire in order to save her husband as well as her town. In a beautiful, eerie, erotic scene, Dracula caresses her bosom with a taloned hand as he drinks from her throat. A's Lucy, this symbol of innocence, perishes, the white roses by her bed wither and die also. But will love and goodness triumph over darkness and evil as is usual in vampire movies? Not in Nosferatu. Love and innocence, evil and death, passion and sacrifice — all are integral elements of Nosferatu. This is truly a film that everyone should see: a horror movie for people who don’t like horror movies, as well as for fans of the supernatural.
