-e *v lOO') nru'K' i7/vr\t_ MARCH 1993 THE FULL MOON Features EDITOR: CHRISTY BROOKS PAGE 2 Th-e Lctst Crusn-cCe By Jason Ingram Some 400 years ago, the forefathers of this nation left their English homeland and ventured to the New World for essentially one reason; the hope of finding freedom from religious persecution. This belief became so fundamental to the authors of our law that they made it the initial statement of the Rrst Amendment to our Constitution: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment ofreligion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Tragically, amisinterpretation by the guardians of our Constitution, the Supreme Court, has effectively removed all religion from state-supported institutions, primarily schools. Case in point: creationism (the belief that God created the universe and everything inclusive) can no longer be taught in the classroom because it is a “theory” and not a proven fact Noah Webster defines “theory” as an ideal or hypothetical set of facts, principles, or circumstances. Evolution then, by definition, is a theory as well; yet it is taught in schools across America ay/art. At the very least, the two schools of thought should be given equal value and equal time. Perhap>s the greatest casualty in the war between church and state has been prayer. In 1962, prayer was removed from our nation’s schools; in recent years, that precedent has allowed schools to ban customary pirayers at school sponsored events, such as the prayer before sporting events and the benediction at high school graduation. Sadly, this ruling has become justification for Christian prejudice; groups claiming religious affiliation caimot meet on a school campus during the school day, and all forms of public worship are prohibited. The authors of our Constitution did not intend for the separation of church and state to become the beast it is now; the premise was to insure that the citizens of anew nation called America could not be punished by the state for professing their religious beliefs. Their intent was not to remove the church from the state, but the state from the church. That intent was stated so plainly in our Constitution that even the simplest of us could understand it. In fact, only nine jjcople in the United States do not understand the principle of the separation of church and state. How fortunate for us that they all sit on the Supireme Court. Hablas Espanol? By Natasha Byrd Hola amigos!! Who has not heard of the activities in Spanish this year?? In fact, the entire math and computer hallway took part in these activities during second period a few weeks ago. Though many look at these activities and think PARTY, they do not realize the activities are cultural days. All the Spanish classes this year have picked a city for their class periods. On cultural days, one class period shows the culture of their particular city. Sometimes the class may choose to represent a festival that takes place in their city. However, they may choose to represent some of the history of the city. The first class to hold cultural day was sixth period's Spanish II class. Their city is El Escorial. The class found recipes and some history of El Escorial. They also made a video upe having students act out the parts of Ferdinand and Isabella speaking from their graves. The other Spanish classes viewed the tape and enjoyed learning of the culture of El Escorial. Second period's Spanish II class was the next class to host the cultural day. For their city of Pamplona, they represented the Running of the Bulls, an event made famous by Ernest Hemingway. The class made a video ttq>e of their own Running of the Bulls. The rimners dressed in white and wore red sashes around their waists. Other students played the role of the bull and chased the runners down the hall. Students from the other classes on that hallway lined the halls to represent the people that line the streets in Pamplona. Mrs. Harvey has come up with another wonderful idea!! She has found a way for her students to learn about Spanish cities and learn in a more understandable way the culture that is so important to this language. Good luck to the next Spanish II class on their cultural day.

TERRIBLE TROUBLE IN TWOSOMES By Wendy Smoak Have you ever given much thought to what type of qualities you want in a husband? Proba bly not. However you might know you want someone you have a lot in common with and get along with well. Despite how much you care for someone, though, disagreements on certain is sues can always cause a big ruckus. Have you noticed what your parents fight about? Chances are one on-going fight is about if your dad does his part of the house work. In a recent survey over 100 married women were asked if they would rather come home from work and sec their husband stmding in the den in the nude or if they would rather come home and find him washingleft over dishes. Surprisingly enough over half of the women said they would rather see him washing the dishes. Well, if that sinprises you, wait til you hear this! It has been discovered that some couples break up because one wants their pet to sleep with them and one doesn’t It is hard to imagine that couples can break up over such small things, but it does hap>pcn. Be careful to know exactly what you are getting in to—in any situation! Greg and Leigh Ann stir up trouble of their own. Do You Make Sacrifices? By Christy Brooks ‘To be the best you can be, a saaifice has to be made,” is the quote for the month of March. When achieving a goal, you have to give up something to make your goal happen. Some Albemarle students quoted on the sacrifices they have had to do to make their dreams come true. Kelly Russell -1 had to sacrifice my Biology n class early this year in order for me to be able to take Algebra II twice a day so that maybe I might have a chance of passing this year. Ashley Burleson -1 had to sacrifice my dance classes for cheerleading. I took dance for twelve years, but I did not want to conflict with the rest of the cheerleading squad and wanted to give 100% so I gave it up! It was definitely worth it because I love cheering with such WONDER' FUL people! Summer Holt - To be my best this year, I to give up someone very special in order to g®‘ my life together. Now I know that my decisioJ* was the best because now I have the best guy the world and I feel I’m a much better penon all around. Danny Landis - Held off on the pleasures of life during wrestling season. Sacrifice may not be fun, but it is sometiitt** necessary!
