SUE COBLE
“Five feet two, eyes of blue.
Sweet Sue.” Yes, that’s Sue Coble,
blond, neat, studious, sincere, and
dependable. Her school record?
She has been an honor student
since she entered the first grade!
Among her likes are Gene Strat
ton Porter, tennis, typing, every
thing to eat, Deanna Durbin and
Mictey Rooney. Sue hastily adds,
“I like bass singers, too, and
tubas!”
A dramatic enthusiast, Sue has
acted in many plays, including the
senior comedy. Also, she has been
a member of the Dramatic club
five years and the Summer The
atre, one year.
After graduation, she plans to
continue with a secretarial career,
at which she already has a head
start.

standing athletes in high school,
having been on the varsity football
team two years, the baseball team
three years, and the basketball
team, of which he was co-captain
during the past season, three years.
Naturally his main interest and
activities are centered around his
favorite sports, but as a member of
the Boys’ Glee club and the Pres
byterian young people’s choir.
Jack has an interest in music.
“Crack” likes good sports, Rud-
yard Kipling, banana pudding,
pineapples, fishing, Spencer Tracy,
Ann Sheridan, and blondes; doesn’t
like “nosey” people, spinach, as
paragus, and Hitler.
After graduation, “Crack” plans
to enter aeronautics.

Newspaper Gets
Excellent Rating
In the National Scholastic Press
association contest, conducted by
the School of Journalism at the
University of Minnesota, the Full
Moon received a first-class, excel
lent rating. A superior rating was
awarded for a total score of 600 or
above, and the score of the Full
Moon was 650.
The publication was judged in
the class of monthly papers, print
ed commercially, and belonging to
a public high school with an en
rollment between 500 and 899.
Twelve papers rated first class in
this group. There were 1,038 pa
pers to be rated and the Full Moon
was one of the 400 to receive the
honor rating.
Clyde A. Erwin, state superin
tendent of public instruction, said
in the April issue of the North
Carolina Public School Bulletin,
“The Pull Moon, newspaper pub
lished by Albemarle High school,
is a well-balanced publication and
conveys to the reader a very good
impression of many phases of the
high-school program.”

PERSONALITY?
The creative writing class has
been trying to improve their per
sonalities by writing their im
pressions of each other and read
ing them to the class. Although
many threaten to sue for malicious
slander, they have got results.
