What's New In Teachers? Winthrop’s doors were opened to the world once more when a trio of talented teachers. Miss Miss Morrow, Miss Reece, and Miss McIntosh, sallied forth and descended upon Albemarle High School, immediately launching a campaign to educate every pupil enrolled. Two teachers. Miss Lentz and Mrs. Hinson, suffering from at tacks of homesickness, returned to Albemarle High School this year to see if they can push some learning into the minds of the first class students. Miss Lentz, the French and Sociology teacher, (gee, what a combination!), who is fortunate enough to have Albemarle as her hometown, is a devoted music. Although she is not ath letic. she attends all the and falls into the bleachers-sitters with feetball as her favorite sport. One of South Carolina’s numer ous gifts to her sister state is the juniors’ competent English teach er, Miss Reece. You juniors had better watch her, because no "Pig-Latin” is allowed. She’s strictly English to say nothing of the fact that she’s an “ace” ten nis player. If you hear someone give that old familiar wolf-call, it’s the whistle bait, none other than Miss McIntosh, the new Biology teach er. How did South Carolina ever produce such a beauty? "Hi-Ho-Silver!” Look out! Its Miss Morrow, the five ft. English- World History teacher enjoying her favorite pastime — horseback riding. Tonto, her special friend, sends squai^ plenty mail. What’s his English name? Mrs. Hinson, a former teacher of A. H. S., returned to the "gar den spot of the world” to teach Biology and General Math. Wel come home! , . , Albemarle High School is for tunate in being able to secure such capable additions to the al ready superb faculty. October 20, 1948 Schedule Changes Made Th is Year Changes in the A. H. S. sched ule have resulted in the loss of the thirty-minute activity period and the addition of four minutes to each class period, making sixty-minute classes. Instead of an activity period, there is a twenty-minute home room period before classes begin. This period is used for short de- votionals, homeroom business, and for study. This is an advan tage over the old activity period in that if enables bus students to arrive in time for classes, and each teacher has time to check absences accurately. Formerly, an assembly program was held for thirty minutes dur ing activity period. The new schedule makes it possible for as sembly to be held for an hour each week, alternating among the five periods. The subjects in the high school curriculum remain the same with the exception of the addition of a general business course, and the discontinuing of shorthand and civics. A.H.S. Will Have Annual This Year Plans are now being made for an annual for A. H. S. this year. Members of the Full Moon staff will do the actual writing and makeup of the annual under the direction of Mrs. Fry. The busi ness will be handled by Miss Caughman and a business staff which was chosen by Mr. McFad- yen and the senior officers at a recent meeting. Marion Sifford will be business editor, and those on her staff will be Jimmy Miller, ex-offiicio treas urer; Bill Saunders, Jerry Low der, Betty Jean Poplin, Hanky Skidmore, Nancy Priester, Eliza beth Miller, Marlene Lowder, Don Kirkpatrick, Violet Melton, and Joe Whitley. The editorial staff has not yet been chosen, but its members will come from the Full Moon class. This will be the first year since 1941 that A. H. S. has had an an nual, and every effort is being made to make this first attempt a success.
