Homecoming Issue THE FULL MOON Welcome, Alumni ALBEMARLE, N. C„ NOVEMBER 24, 1939 THGR& THE CHEMISTRY CLASSES are studying atoms. Miss Milling, wishing to make things clear, i wrote the atomic theory on the ■ board. Then, some bright student (!!) slipped into the lab and -changed the word ‘theory’ to the ' word ‘ache.’ Thus making the _ ‘atomic theory’ into ‘atomic ache.’ IN THE LAST FULL MOON . there was an article on poetic ■■seniors. Now the seniors are ■ mighty, as the school song goes, or ■ they wouldn’t be able to carry such “A theme a week,” says Mr. : Gibson. i “A story a day,” echoes Miss (Ellerbe. “Oh! my head,” says twelfth English. You may see a senior anklin’ through the halls with a lofty ex- : pression on his face quoting Shak- ;espeare: “ ‘When to the sessions of sweet : silent thought I, summon up remem—’ Whoops! I’ve got it!” If you venture to ask just what he has got, he will probably look rat you scornfully and say, “Why, i a subject for my theme, of course.” There is a petition going around ■ that the seniors are going to send ?to the president in hopes that he I will make a law. It is a document providing sanitorium expenses for C overworked seniors. ! ROYCE WATSON must have a I habit of passing out tooth picks f before lunch and not after. The other morning in vocational class, Eoyce went all over the class, giv ing each member a tooth pick. * ALBEMARLE HI WAS ■PLUNGED sharply into the social whirl when a group of intimate friends entertained at a shower for “Yankee” Steele, whose marriage to an unidentified ninth grader, who we think is one of the “mighty eleven,” was jokingly announced. i. Numerous beautiful gifts, such ‘as a cook book, Irish potato, acorn, pair of broken glasses, and a satch el were given. Refreshments con sisted of a bite to each of Hal IPeck’s popsicle. ''' NOTICE! HAVE YOU READ Hhe latest? The Full Moon has j “some strong competition! The i Empty Moon, published by Joyce Ellis, one of our small (!!!) fresh-j men, is really going to give the I j Full Moon some competition. ! Joyce says, “I didn’t mean to give the Fxdl Moon such competi- =tion, but my paper began getting | Ikso many subscriptions that I juyt ^decided to forget the school paper Oland spend all my time on my own.” Joyce has an eye for news and she really uses it. Her paper con tains the latest personals on stu- .^dents and faculty.

Mr. Grigg, Mr. Canipe, Mr. Gehring, and Miss Laws made pep talks concerning the homecoming game today. This was followed by talks by the following students: ‘Hod’ Shankle, president of the Boosters club; John Lamar, mana ger of the football team; and the captain of the team. After the meeting a pep parade, led by Patrolman R. B. Coe and Mr. Boger Little, proceeded through town. When the parade reached the square, school yells were led by the cheerleaders: Ma rie Deese, Josephine Whitley, Ila Lee Knotts, Marie Ehringer, and Deward Lefler. This is the second bonfire in the history of Albemarle high school. The first bonfire was held last year just before the Concord-Albemarle game. Its effectiveness was prov ed by the fact that Albemarle won this game by a score of 26-19. «News Briefs » Dr. George H.

Yvonne Foreman, Ruby Lefler, Kelly Jordan, and Lloyd Skidmore, spent Tuesday observing at Rich field high school. Previously, four students of Richfield high, Helen Mauney, Edith Misenheimer, Holt Hunter, and Maurice Pickier, had made the first in this series of visits when they spent the day as guests of the high school student council here. They were shown the various classes and clubs, and allowed to visit any of them which they de sired. They were also guests at a luncheon in the high school cafe- The plan that is being carried out is that of learning through ob servation. Representatives from the two schools exchange visits, after which they hold a panel dis cussion, in which common problems are brought up and discussed. Bitter Rivalry Renewed With Orphan Eleven Today is homecoming day—and as the principal feature of this event, the Bulldogs of Albemarle high school will play host to the Barium Springs Orphans in the fourth game of a bitter football Albemarle has met Barium Springs three times on the gridiron, and has three times suffered de feat at their hands, the first time in 1936 by a 26-13 score, in 1937 by 20-0. and last year in a mud battle by 4-0. This game has al ways drawn a great deal of inter est among students and townspeo ple, and it was for this reason that Barium Springs was chosen for the Homecoming Day opponent. Dr. Dwight Ware Makes Talk On Chapel Program ‘“The world is yours”, Dr. Dwight Ware, new pastor of the Central Methodist church, told the students in an address made in chapel Monday morning. After an introduction by Lee Copple, Dr. Ware began with, “I don’t know about all that stuff that he kept me from getting up here with; I’m just one of you and mighty glad to be here.” With this. Dr. Ware immediately had an eager audience of alert students. Turning to a more serious sub ject, Dr. Ware said, “The world is yours. Today the world belongs, in a sense, to those who are young. It is built about you. The world of entertainment is yours.” Then discussing the objectionable quali ties of the world today, Dr. Ware asked, “Is that the kind of world you want? Are you going to let the world mold you or are you go ing to mold it? What kind of world are you going to let be yours?” Touching on the subject of mod ern youth and the drinking ques tion, Dr. Ware asserted, “If you want to smell like a hog, it’s a whole lot cheaper to go to the pig “What you do represents you,” he stated. “Little things represent you. What kind of labels are you wearing? You know I’ve always liked the label of a wing, a wing that soars above the disorder of life into the heavens and their al- In closing, Dr. Ware smiled, “I like you, I like the way your hair is disarrayed; I like the way your clothes hang on you. The world’s yours, so get out and take it, and take it like a man!” Under the direction of Mr. Fry, music, furnished by the mixed chorus choir, included a proces sional, “Largo” by Handel; “Come Thou Almighty King”, Giardini, by the students; “God So Loved the World”, Stainer, by the choir; and a recessional, “Dear Land of Home”, Sibelius. This program was arranged by the members of the Student Coun cil chapel committee. December 15 Date This year finds Albemarle com- A I Uj; Qrrint ing up to this conference scrap ^Or /Al-nl-OCript with one of the best records in many years, having won seven games, four of them conference scraps, and losing only one, an im portant conference clash with Children’s Home, 13-6. The Bull dogs hold conference victories over State,sville, Spencer, Concord, and Monroe, while trouncing three non conference foes, Badin, Salisbury, and Asheboro. The Barium Springs record is slightly less impressive, they hav ing gone down in defeat several times in an extremely hard sched- The Bulldogs are in good condi- _jn this afternoon, having fully recovered from a stream of injuries which hit the squad two weeks ago. With an open date last Friday, the team has had time to rest and work on polishing up their attack for this game. Coach Canipe has been drilling the boys until dark several days this week in order to perfect their attack. The Bulldogs will be slightly fa vored today by virtue of their higher rating in conference com petition, but the Bulldogs have not easily forgotten when “that great team of 36”, featuring a backfield of Ernest Safrit, Robert Osborne, Cob Talbert, and Ikey Williams, ■■'ent up to Barium and came back 1 the short end of a 26-13 score. Barium Springs has always had reputation of building light but fast teams. Especially is this true the backfield, where they are noted for their scat backs, and so you may look for plenty of action the field today. The first edition of the Al-Hi- Script, high shool literary maga zine, will be issued December 15. Though the staff has not yet been selected, material, consisting of short stories, essays, and poems, has been compiled and selected for this issue. The magazine, issued for the first time last year, is published by the Creative Writing club, under the sponsorship of Miss Watson and Mr. Gibson.
