Magazine
Sale
It was that time again. We had
a big assembly to get us fired up,
went back to classes, and receiv
ed those envelopes. Then we went
to our families and friends and
told them we were from Senior
High and would like them to buy a
magazine. Most people said they
really did not need them, but they
usually bought them anyway.
This year the Student Council
magazine sale was used to raise
money for a lot of activities, one
of which will be the Junior-Senior
Prom. It was good to see that so
many students got involved in the
sale. The top salesman this year
was Richard Storm with 331 dol
lars worth of magazines sold.
Sussie Bowers and Roy Watkins
achieved second and third places.
The top homeroom this year was
Mrs. Almond’s. These students
were rewarded with a pizza party
during fourth period one day.
Now we come to the homeroom
that didn’t “go ape” over the
sale. The teacher of this home
room asked that her name not be
released in this article. Mrs. Den
nis also commented that it wasn’t
her fault that her students didn’t
get involved.
We would like to thank Mr. Bla
lock for the fine job he did on be
ing in charge of the sale. We
would also like to thank David
Christy for selling Better House
keeping to his mom.
Bands competing in the “AAA”
class were Shelby, Cary, Besse
mer City, Concord, Mooresville,
and Bandys. Cary’s band domi
nated the score sheets with a
superior rating, drum major, col
or guard, percussion, and major
ette trophies. Cary also won the
Grand Champion Trophy, pre
sented in honor of Tommy Hauss.
They wrapped up the show with
an encore performance.
The band extends special
thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Hedrick,
Chris Bramlett, and all the many
other special people who made
the “Albemarle Showcase of
Bands” such a huge success. We
are already looking forward to
the second annual “Albemarle
Showcase of Bands”, 1983.
