To the Seniors
Congratulations to you, one
hundred and seven candidates for
graduation! May your high school
memories be pleasant ones and
your future days be filled with hap
piness and success. Here’s a hand,
also, to that brave little band of
seniors who had the courage, af
ter watching most of their class
mates graduate, to return to
school for the twelfth grade. May
the rewards you reap through an
other year of high school training
be unlimited.
Field Day
Field Day has come and gone.
As we look back, we can see that
it was highly successful. Enthusi
asm, cooperation, and sportsman
ship were shown by both faculty
and students. The school i
whole is to be commended on
fine response shown. Because of
the success of this first attempt,
next year a Field Day on a much
larger scale will be planned.
Lefs Give a Hand
Commendation of the work done
in the Music department, under
the fine leadership of Paul Fry and
Miss Worsham, and in the Dra-
rnatic department, under the splen
did direction of Miss Scarborough,
is greatly deserved.
The choral work of both boys
and girls, the singing of the quar
tets and solo voices, and the play
ing of the school band and instri
mental soloists are praiseworthy.
The Dramatic department has
sponsored two successful projects,
the District Dramatic Festival of
the state contest, and the A. H. S.
Festival. Much progress has been
made and favorable publicity has
been brought to the school through
these splendid projects.

Graduation
For the seniors a day of joy
mingled with sorrow is here—grad
uation day! We are glad because
we have reached the goal that has
been before us these four years.
Sorrow enters in, however, as we
part from our teachers and friends
whom we have learned to love. In
our garden of memories we shall
always treasure our high school
days and friendships.
Four years ago we entered high
school as timid little freshmen,
venturing into a new world of
learning. Gradually we gained as
surance, self-control, and self-con
fidence. Along the way we have
fought our battles. Perhaps we
haven’t won every time, but we
have learned to be good losers.
Our desire for knowledge was
strengthened as we worked faith
fully toward our goal, graduation.
Graduation isn’t the end, but
ra.ther a beginning. Some of us
will terminate our scholastic stu
dies; others will continue in the
quest for knowledge. The build
ing process has just begun, and all
through life we shall add to this
foundation little by little, making
-ir structure more firm and
We shall part on graduation
day, each of us to travel his chos
en road in life, seeking to reach
another goal. Let us go
the determination to live our lives
to the fullest and in the most
beneficial way possible.

A Word of Thanks
Who is responsible for the edit
ing and financing of the senior edi
tion of The Full Moon? Not only
the two Journalistic clubs but also
the members of the senior class
are responsible for its publication.
The literary editors were aided a
great deal by Mary Katherine East,
Frances Horton, Martha Morrow,
Ins Almond, Pershing Garrett, and
James Morgan. The business man
ager had the assistance of Ann
Parker, Gladys Efird, Jean Low
der, Frances Henning, Carl Par
ker, Sidney Gulledge, and James
Morgan in soliciting advertise
ments. The Boosters’ club con
tributed some toward financing the
issue. To these and others who co-
operated in the work, the staff
wishes to express its appreciation.
The staff wishes to take this op-
operated in the work the staff
students for their cooperation in
helping to prepare copy for the
press throughout the year.
They find fault with the editor;
The stuff we print is rot;
The paper is about as peppy
As a cemetery lot.
The paper shows poor manage-
The upper classmen holler—
The lower classmen rail;
But when the paper’s printed
And the issue is on file.
If someone missed his copy.
You could hear him yell
