Page Two THE FULL MOON May 1986 Senior High News What! ? No More Study Halls? ByJENI HEDRICK If you are one of those people who enjoy their daily hour in study hall, you’re going to grieve next year when these enamored classes are not offered. This means you will not get that extra hour of sleep we all need sometime throughout the day. It also means you won’t be kept up to date on the current magazine issues of Field and Stream and Good Housekeeping (other favorites are Popular Mechanics and Car pentry Today). The decision to terminate study halls was made by Albemarle Senior High in response to a law issued by the N.C. State Legislature. The law requires all schools to have 5.5 hours of instruction daily. A method to carry out the plan was not set, so each school had to make changes to abide by the law. The two choices were to either extend the school day or to cut out study halls. Ob viously, Albeamrle chose to drop study halls. The Board of Education felt that generally students were not working dur ing their study hall and most students took a study hall instead of taking a course. However, now that students are required to take an extra class, there may be addi tional courses added to the Albemarle curriculum. If enough students show an in terest in a certain class, it could be added. One possibility is Drafting. Some advice, to those who feel their biorhythms niay become jumbled without a study hall, is to try to go to bed earlier. One way to accomplish this is not to stay up and watch David Letterman every night, no matter how much you love to see “stupid pet tricks.” Another tip, maybe, is try to attempt to finish some of your home work?

He was nominated for application for the scholarship by the school honors com mittee. A congressional committee chose 5 applicants from the state to be inter viewed. Andrew then went to Meredith College on February 22. He was first inter viewed in a group with the others, and then interviewed individually. After the inter view, two of the five were selected. The exchange organization. Youth for Understanding, will sponsor him in this all-expense paid trip. He will go to Wash ington, D.C. on July 21 for three days to speak with German ambassadors. Then he will fly to Germany. There he will stay at a boarding school or with a family for one month so that he can study the German language and culture. These classes will last 6 hours a day. Then he will attend a German high school. Here he will take English and German, as well as other courses. Special activities included will be a four-day political seminar, a visit to East Berlin, and a trip to Bonn, the capital of Germany. Andrew is very optimistic about the trip. ‘‘Of course, I’ll miss being here,” he says, but I m sure it will be a great experi ence.” Andrew excited about Germany. Summer School Starts June 23rd By BETH GOODMAN Fortunately, summer is just around the corner, but, unfortunately, that brings summer school. Summer school will be starting June 23rd and will continue until August 4th. And the only vacation day will be July 4th. The day will start each morn ing at 7:30 and will last until 1:00 in the afternoon with a refreshment break some time in between. It will be held at Senior High this year and will be open to County and City students. While asking Ms. Lip- pard about summer school, she said, “It is important for the students to keep summer school in mind if they are failing a subject, especially if they want to stay with their class.” Brochures will be out soon with more in formation about this summer’s classes. Students Donate To The Red Cross By MICHELE DENNIS The Student Council of Albemarle Senior High School sponsored a blood drive on April 16 in the school gymnasium. Thanks to the many students and faculty members willing to donate to the Red Cross, the proj ect was a tremendous success. The original goal was 65 units of blood. But by 2:30 ninety-eight units had been collected. This is a remarkable figure but even more spectacular when one considers the fact that 17 of the donors who were signed up to give blood were not allowed to do so for various reasons. Red Cross workers com mented that the Senior High drive was one of the smoothest and best organized, and that the students were the best behaved that they had ever dealt with. The blood drive was such a success that the Student Council hopes to make it an annual spring event. Another idea for future blood mobiles at Albemarle Senior High is mak ing the project a competition between the high schools of this area. These students aren’t chicken.
