APRIL 1995 THE FOOL MOON PAGE 2 ^SPRING} break % !■ SlMTnyfffp I APRIU _ 1 / J / J / 11 r ji r - M I Features EDITOR: CARMEN LAND Tfi-e SymboDs oj Easter By Eloise Odom Many symbols remind Christians of the original Easter events and their meanings. Most of these symbols are used only during the Easter season. The rest are part of Christian life and worship throughout the year. Here are a few of the symbols. Easter Lilies - To decorate churches and homes, Easter lilies are used. These white flowers remind Christians of the pure new life that comes to them through the resurrection of Jesus. Ppps and Rabbits- These are the only familiar symbols unrelated to the Easter story. Easter eggs represent new life and are also symbols of spring. The relationship between Easter and the renewal of life led Christians to adopt the pastime of decorating Easier eggs. Rabbits are associated with the fertility of spring because of their ability to produce many young. This brought about the story of the EastA bunny. The Lamb- The lamb represents Jesus and relates His death to that of the lamb sacrificed on the first Passover. Jesus is traditionally referred to as “the Lamb of God” by many Christians. Many people serve lamb as part of their Easter meals. Lamb-shaped cake decorations are used in many homes for the Easter table. Other Foods- Besides lamb and eggs, certain other foods are associated with the Easter season. Pretzels were originally a Lenten food. Their twisted shq)e suggested arms in prayer. Hot cross buns were first baked in England to be served on Good Friday. The buns have across made of icing on the top. The Crucifix and the Cross- A crucifix is a cross with an image of Jesus’s body hanging from it. It symbolizes the sacrifice Jesus made by allowing Himself to be killed. An empty cross-that is, without the figure of Christ crucified, reminds Christians of Jesus ’ victory over death and the new life and hope this victory brings to believers. Goodbye Albemarle!!

Anna Norwood, Eloise Odom, Dustin Poplm Eric Gets "Pumped Up By Jennifer Lowder A junior here at AHS, Eric Lowder, is a very intelligent student. Anyone who knows Eric knows that he is a sweet, iimocent guy. Well, I hate to spoil everyone’s opinion of him, but he leads another life. Eric has been getting “pumped up” everyday after school. No one can really tell because he always wears baggy clothes. He tries to support the grunge look, so no one can tell how big he is getting. Eric has won many titles in the last few years. I asked Eric who inspired him to wrestle and he said it was Hulk Hogan. He said he always enjoyed watching Hulk Hogan wrestle on televi sion when he was young. Eric has participated in many wrestling tour naments. He has even won the Tough Man contest three years in a row. He has also wrestled on television for the WWF for two years now. Eric has many goals in his life. He plans on maybe one day wirming the championship belt from the WWF. He also plans in June to go out to be an American Gladiator. He said he is working really hard to become one. Good luck Eric from everyone here at AHS. We all hope you go far in your career in wrestling.
