VIRGINIA STONE
One of the most popular and at
tractive girls in high school is Vir
ginia Stone, editor of The Full
Moon.
For the past two years “Stoney”
has been a member of the Jour
nalistic club and on the staff of
the paper. She is the newly elect
ed president of the Literary Sec
tion and last year was president
of the Business Section.
It is interesting to know that
Virginia has a collection of three
hundred original short stories. She
also collects and enlarges carica
tures of famous people. “These
are the nearest things I have to a
hobby,” she said. As for sports,
“Stoney” prefers football, swim
ming, and golf.
Virginia isn’t sure where she is
going after graduation, but she
plans to major in journalism. Be
cause of her originality, ability,
and interest in writing, she will we
predict, achieve success in her
chosen field.
“NUMBER, PLEASE!”

seniors were practicing the art of

A. P.: “Sure, put alcohol
Kenneth Brooks picked up the
phone gingerly and remarked:
“Say, somebody’s cut this wire!
It’s about to fall apart!”
The following conversation was
carried on by “Buck,” a ring sales
man, and Oron, a representative
of the graduating class:
Oron: “The graduating class is
gonna leave and we want some
rings.”
“Buck”: What kind you want?”
Oron: “What kind you have?”
“Buck”: “’Bout any kind.”
Oron: “We want one with a
KENNETH BROOKS
Kenneth Brooks, business man
ager of The Full Moon the last
two years, has become known for
his dependability. His versatile
interests and pleasing personality
make him one of the most out
standing boys in school. For three
years he has been an active mem
ber of the Dramatic and Journa
listic clubs.
His hobbies are riding his mo-
tor-bike, raising money to finance
The Full Moon, and making and
flying gas model airplanes. After
winning fourth place in the South
Eastern model airplane contest
last summer, he plans to go to De
troit to compete with the national
contestants next year. An experi
enced photographer, he owns a
still and a motion picture camera.
“Ken” likes Charlie McCarthy,
Don Ameche, Donald Duck,

Going North With
Gehring- And Canipe
Upon interviewing Mr. Canipe
and Mr. Gehring it was found that
they took a most enjoyable trip to
New York this summer.
Mr. Gehring began, “We took
the skyline drive up through Vir
ginia,” and Mr. Canipe interrupt
ed, “The scenery was as pretty as
any I have ever seen.” “By mid-
ight,” continued Mr, Gehring,
we were in the one and only St.
Clair, Pa. It was quite a thrill,”
he added with a wink at Mr. Ca
nipe, “for the residents of St.
Clair to hear a real southerner
talk.”
After spending three days in St.
Clair, the travelers visited New
York. “When we got to New
York,” said Mr. Gehring, “we
were the proverbial country hicks.
The buildings seemed much taller
to me than they did to Mr. Canipe.
I wonder why? We wanted to see
the entire city in two hours, and
almost did.”
Here Mr. Canipe picked up
their story, “We were walking
along Broadway staring, when a
sight-seeing guide asked if we
wouldn’t like to take a tour. We
agreed to do so and were taken to
a little side street off Broadway.
The guide collected our money
and left. After about half
hour’s wait, we decided that
had been jipped out of our money
and were ready to leave when a
large bus drove up and our man
came back. We took our tour
and really saw New York.”
They stopped at the Astor Ho
tel—long enough to rest in the
easy chairs and drop a few ciga
rette ashes on rugs. “Then we
went to a smaller hotel which
would suit a school teacher’s sal
ary,” explained Mr. Gehring.
“After riding the express eleva
tor in Rockefeller Center, both of
us decided that we’d never suicide
by jumping,” was Coach’s cor
“We took in Atlantic City
week before the Bathing Beauty
Contest, and although we would
have liked very much to stay,
decided it was best not to,”
Gehring said.
“In Philadelphia, we had to take
a subway, which was quite a
thrill,” they continued. Not know
ing which to take they tossed a
coin and luckily got on the right
They stopped at Gettysburg Bat-
tle-Ground on the way home. “Due
the fact that a guide cost $2.50
j decided best to buy a little
booklet with the entire story
for fifty cents,” they said. While
Mr. Canipe drove around the
grounds Mr. Gehring sat back and
read the history of Gettysburg.
Mr. Gehring ended with the
mark, “We had a grand trip and
hope to go again,” while Mr. Ca
nipe added, “I like the North and

Twelfth Grade Has
Versatile Members
There are thirty-seven twelfth
graders this year. Of that number
six are from out of town, four are
last year’s graduates, and three
’e graduates of ’37.
The out-of-towners are Delmar
Almond, Endy; Menefee Bennett,
Norwood; Marshall Boyce, High
Rock; C. B. Clark, Badin; Bill
Hough, New London; and Bonnie
Hayes McCubbins, Salisbury.
Douglas Cranford, S. E. Sprin
kle, Mary E. Drye, and Lorene
Melton returned after graduation
in ’38. Gerald Crisco, Elberta
Ragsdale, and Frank Deese of
Salisbury, are enrolled.
The subjects that seem most
popular with the twelfth graders
are creative writing, business En
glish, chemistry and advanced com
mercial courses.
This class, the smallest in school,
has already become noted for its
musical talents. C. B. Efird, Bill
Mann, Claude Shankle, and Doug
las Cranford compose a popular
quartet. C. B. Efird, after study
ing in Charlotte during the sum
mer, is more than ever a Rubinoff
with his violin. Then there are
0. D. Shoe with his guitar and Bill
Hough with his violin. Too, there
are several outstanding dramatic
students in the class.
Did you know that this class
claims the tallest boy in school,
Olynn Lowder, standing six feet
five, and C. B. Clark, the smallest
senior, standing five feet three.
This class can also boast of hav
ing some of the fastest, though
smallest football stars—“Buck”
Mabry, “Sid” Gulledge, “Hod”
Shankle, and C. B. Clark. So you
see, the new twelfth grade, al
though it is the smallest, holds the
record for being the most talented
and versatile class in high school.
Genius is mainly an affair of
energy.
