by Emily Nance, Mandi Hathcock, and Beverly Poplin
The Albemarle High School Advanced Drama Department performed the play Class Dismissed
by Craig Nevius on May 18 and May 20 at 7:30 P.M. in the AHS Auditorium. This very timely play
involves a gun in school - except this time the teacher has the weapon. Each student actor/actress
portrayed a believable character that would be seen in today’s classroom. The cast consisted of
Andy Smith, Sweet Flake, J.R. Morrison, Melissa Fair, LeQuan Robinson, Alishia Blalock, Cindy
The new members of the Spanish National Honor Society were inducted on May 7 at a special
ceromony at Mataztlan resturaunt. Members of this prestigous society were chosen on the basis
of comprhension and appreciation for the language and culture of th eSpanish peoples. Taking at
least two years of a Spanish class, these students have excelled in this subject.
199S Art National Honor Society
1
The Art National Honor Society, much like the Spanish Honor Society, requires a well-rounded
student. Though members of this group must show both talent and love for art, they must also
have an overall GPA of 3.0. Mrs. Hopkins, the sponsor for this group, says that all of this year’s
members are very hard-working and deserving.
Morris, W.D. Benson, Jennifer Byrd, Josh Sides, Blythe Baker. Amber Hatley, Mandi Hathcock,
Mark Purvis, Beverly Poplin, Jennifer Sikes, and Jennifer Byrd. Teresa Torres was the stage
manager. Directed by Mr. Gary Moran, Class Dismissed was a drama packed with laughs that also
sent a serious message about teacher/student relationships and problems in today’s schoolrooms.
Many people in our community came out to support the event. Tickets were $3 dollars in advance
and $4 at the door. The money went to our Albemarle Drama Department fund to use in years to
come. Thank you for supporingt our students!

Busta Laugh
by Ben Lisk
Have you heard a good joke lately? A joke
can warm even the coldest heart up. A joke is
made for a good laugh, but not everyone gets
every joke. No need to worry bccausc not
everyone is on the same level. I will let you in
on a trick on how not to make a fool of yourself
when a joke hits the surface. As soon as you
here a crack of laughter from the other members
listening to the joke, just let your teeth shine
and busta bust a laugh of your own. It keeps
you from looking stupid and lets you get the
joke even if you really don’t. Well I have
brewed up a few jokes for you to busta bust a
laugh to:
❖ Why were the strawberries upset?
Because their parents w ere in a jam! I Ha!
Ha! Ha!
❖ What kind of jeans docs a ghost wear?
Boojeans!!!
•t* Why arc seagulls callcd seagulls?
Bccausc if they flew over the bay they
would be called bagels!
❖ Have you heard the joke about the bed?
It hasn’t been made up yet!
❖ A man sits down in a resturant and sa> s
" I think 1 will have the turtle soup!"
Suddenly he changes his mind and wants
pea soup. So he streams to the waiter. “
Hold the turtle, make it pea!!!" Ha! Ha!
❖ What is the oldest vegctabfc? Popcorn!
❖ Where docs the sheep get his hair cut?
At the bah bah shop!
