Page 2 THE FULL MOON October 6,1981 NEW FACES IN OLD PLACES Albemarle Senior High proudly welcomes three new faces to its 1981-1982 teaching staff. A new addition to the Foreign Language Department is Mrs. Terri Hamp ton, who teaches French and English. Mrs. Margaret Wallace joms the Exceptional Student Department as a teacher of special education. Last, but not least, Mr. Vernon “Red” Lentz has returned to the Science Department. Mrs. Terri Hampton Mrs. Terri Hampton is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in French. After studying the foreign language for eleven years, Mrs. Hampton is excited about teaching French and has interesting plans for her students. She has already organized a new French club and hopes to initiate a French HI class and an exploratory level French class. The new foreign language teacher lives in Charlotte and car pools to Albemarle every morn ing. She enjoys doing needle craft, spending time with her family, and playing tennis in her spare time. Mrs. Hampton says she loves Albemarle High, its stu dents, and all of their school spirit! Mrs. Margaret Wallace com pleted her student teaching at Hall Fletcher Middle School in West Asheville and has previous ly taught learning disabilities at Highland Middle School in Mount Gilead. A graduate of Pinecrest High School in Moore County, Mrs. Wallace continued her education at Pfeiffer College, where she majored in music education and voice. She then transferred to Sandhills Com- Mrs. Margaret Wallace munity College, where she received an Associate Arts degree. The new special educa tion teacher completed her educational training at Western Carolina University and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in special education. Mrs. Wallace is happily mar ried and has an eight month old daughter named Dorothy Ellen Her hobbies include fishing, camping, and needle point. She expresses great excitement for being a member of our faculty and is extremely impressed with the student body. Mr. Vernon “Red” Lentz has returned to teach biology this year, following a short leave of absence from education. He had taught at Albemarle High from 1968 through 1980; however, Mr Lentz decided to try his luck at being a traveling salesman dur ing the 1980-1981 school year. Much of his time away from teaching was also spent growing plants, fishing, and hunting. The returning faculty member states that he enjoyed a change of jobs, but that he really missed his stu dents. A graduate of Pfeiffer College Mr. Lentz taught at Landis,’ Elise, and South Rowan High Schools, prior to joining the Albe marle staff. He presently teaches general biology, biology H, and exceptional biology. When asked if the school had changed in any way over a one year period, Mr. Lentz replied, “Yes, the students’ attitudes toward education, their promptness to class, and the stu dent body’s overall attitude are much improved.” He also stated that working with this type of stu dent makes his job much rtiore rewarding. These new teachers will certainly make a great addition to pur faculty at Albemarle Se nior High. We hope that they may enjoy a very successful school year. Mr. Vernon Lentz A Little Bit of ... MEXICO Review Hola! Me llamo Maria de Lourdes Quinones Hernandez, tengo diez y siete anos, y soy de la Ciudad Delicias Chihuahua, Mex ico. Yo estoy aqui en Albemarle porque quiero aprender a hablar ingles. Yo vivo con la familia Morrison. Llegue el dia 9 de sep- tiembre por medio de la inter national fellowship y voy a estar aqui nueve meses. Comprenden Uds? Need a translator? Maria Hernandez, the author of the above para graph, is a new foreign exchange student at Albemarle High School this year. A member of the Full Moon staff, Maria wishes to ac quaint the students at her new school with her lifestyle in Mex ico, as compared to American liv ing. The first paragraph, in trans lation, reads: My name is Maria de Lourdes Quinones Hernandez, I am seventeen years old, and I am from Delicias Chihuahua, Mexico. I am here in Albemarle because I want to learn to speak English. I arrived on September 9 by means of the International Fellowship and I am going to be here nine months. My hometown is very different from Albemarle. The Mexican houses are made of brick with concrete roofs. The summer and spring climate in Mexico is very warm and little rain falls, creat ing a desert environment. However, at times it rains for days and people stay inside their homes until the weather is clearer. In the winter the climate becomes much cooler, although snowfall is extremely rare. Much larger in size than Albe marle, Delicias has more than 100,000 inhabitants. The city streets are full of traffic, as is typical of larger towns. Unlike larger American cities, my hometown has very little pollu tion, because there are so many trees. Farming is a popular occu pation in Mexico and farmers grow cotton, corn, wheat, melons, and grapes, among other products. There is also much cat tle raising. My school in Delicias is called Preparatoria Federal and is slightly larger than Albemarle High. It has an enrollment of eight hundred students. It is con- Maria Hernandez sidered the best school in Mexico, offeri g such courses as mathe- niati s, algebra, geometry, biolo;^y, chemistry, English, physics, Spanish, Mexican his tory, universal history, anatomy, sociology, and a variety of technical courses. I attend school there from three o’clock in the afternoon until nine o’clock in the evening. My school is especially proud of its football team, the best in the area, having won many championships. The American style of dress does not differ much from the popular fashions worn in Mex ico. The only difference is that in Delicias most all people wear cowboy hats, shirts, and boots. I like this city very much, especially its green gardens. The people are very good looking and nice. The students at my new high school are very kind and under standing with me since I speak very little English. The Morrison family is very nice, good looking, and happy. They carried me to visit the At lantic Ocean my first weekend in the United States. We went to Holden Beach and I enjoyed it very much. The meals here are very dif ferent, also are the hours of mealtime. Here the meals are served two hours ahead of the schedule in Delicias. The biggest meal of the day in Mexico is always lunch; in America the largest meal is supper. I take all my meals at home in Delicias, in stead of eating at the school. I want to be a friend of everyone and I hope to be nice to you all. The classes that I like best at Albemarle Senior High are Spanish, journalism, and English. Crack Up With “ARTHUR" that one goes to the movies and totally enjoys himself for two full hours. Occasionally a film with enough versatility f ^ released. This year, such a flick has been produc- hnth Dudley Moore, was wonderfully refreshing to both myself and to other viewers in the theater ^.l^'/eably warm, thirty-two year old millionaire, who is treated like an infant by all of his loved ones. Though he often portrays character, Arthur is seen as an adult through the eyes of his faithful servant, Hopsin. The main character’s house is a child’s dream; antique tovs decorate every rooni. The masterpiece, however, is his bedroom. Behind the massive king-sized bed lies an extremely intricate track of nolc ^ travel by day and by night with lights, gates, tun nels, amidst a background of majestic scenery. Obviously Arthur possesses extraordinary wealth. In fact he has hi1 inheritance of 750 million dollars. Sounds too’good to be true. It is. Arthur s father and grandmother have insisted that he marry Susan, a woman he does not love. Arthur is caught between his love for money and his hatred for Susan. Since arriving at a decision is of great difficulty for the millionaire, he goes on a shopping spree in his father’s store, which is nothing short of Sax Fifth Avenue. While he is purchasing four dozen shirts, Arthur is attracted by a lovely shoplifter named Linda His future lover is poignantly played by Liza Minelli, who comes across as charlcterf individual in the midst of the millionaire “Arthur” has an ending which will leave one in a blissful mood I highly recommend this film to persons who enjoy movies which end happily ever after.
