THE FULL MOON
May 5, 1950
SPORTS PARADE
BILL KLUTTZ
The good old spring weather
came creeping in and Coach
Webb’s physical education class
es went out on the athletic field
and tennis courts to play soft
ball and tennis. This time of
year the weather tends to make
people lazy, but the intramur
al program is going strong. A
lot of boys are enjoying the
tournaments.
The softball tournament, which
is about at an end, consists of
a league of ten teams. Each of
these teams plays at least five
games. As it stands now, three
teams seem to be the power
houses of the league. All three
of these teams, 12th No. I, 12th
No. Ill and 11th No. II, are un
defeated in five starts and will
be put in a playoff series to de-
CARROLL DAVIS
termine first, second, and third
place winners.
There is a big turnout this
year for the tennis and horseshoe
tournament. There are 54 boys
taking part in the tennis tourna
ment, 32 in singles and 23 in
doubles. Some of the boys' who
might come out on top are Doug
Archer, Joe McAnulty, and Tom
Lilly, who were members of the
tennis team last year. The horse
shoe tournament has 13 boys in
singles and 16 boys in doubles.
This tournament might go to any
body.
Commencement
Students are being selected to
speak at the commencement ex
ercises. Six speakers will be

Hartsell Gains All-State Honors Again;
Almondettes Find Waterloo In Barium
A.H.S. Ball Players
Win High Honors
Perlene Hartsell, basketball
guard, extraordinary, won a berth
on the Greensboro Daily News All-
State girls basketball team again
this year. She was picked by this
same newspaper last year as all-
state material. Because of her
teamwork, good sportsmanship,
and all round ability, Perlene was
also honored by the scribs at the
South Piedmont conference tour
nament by being selected on the
all-tournament team.
“Ping Ding”, as she is known to
the A.H.S. students, will long be
remembered for her fiery play on
the A.H.S. basketball court. With
Perlene as a nucleus, the fine
defensive unit of Janet Deese,
Sara Skidmore and Perlene held
their opponents to low scores. Our
opponents breathe with a sigh
when they learn that Perlene will
graduate this spring.
The students at A.H.S. are
proud of Perlene, especially the
sports staff of the Full Moon.
Another one-third of the A.H.S.
defensive team is Sara Skidmore.
Although she received a rating of
honorable mention on the all-state
team of the Greensboro Daily
News, we know that she is really
a top flight basketball player.
Sara shares the honor with Perl
ene of being selected to one of the
guard positions on the South
Piedmorit Conference tournament
team.
Being a good sport at all times,
on or off the basketball court,
Sara is well loved by all her
friends. Sara, a senior at A.H.S.,
will also graduate this spring
leaving a big gap on the girls’
team which the coach probably
will not be able to fill next year.
Although our boys team receiv
ed no honor other than being al
lowed to play in the conference,
Leroy Swaringen made the rating
of honorable mention on the Char
lotte News All-State boys’ basket
ball team.
Sports Brieis
Bob Youngblood, one of Albe
marle’s outstanding linesmen,
has received an invitation to
play in the annual East-West
high school All-Star football
game, which will be played dur
ing the first week in October.
Bob played on the team this
year and was one of the Bulldog
co-captains. Bob has also re
ceived a four-year scholarship at
Catawba- college to play foot
ball.
He will be playing on the East
team with some of the best high
school players in the state.

phies in chapel recently. Boys’
basketball team presented Coach
Peiffer with a trophy for his out
standing work, while the foot
ball team presented one to their
coach, Toby Webb , for his
coaching this past season. The
girls’ basketball team presented
to the school the runner-up tro
phy of the South Piedmont Con
ference. Mrs. Almond received a
trophy from the girls’ squad to
show their appreciation for her
coaching.
Something new was added to
Coach Webb’s physidcil ed classes
a few weeks ago. For two weeks
the classes were taught about
fish and how to catch them. The
boys brought their fishing rods to
school and were shown the ropes
by Ted Henson, a casting expert
from Tennessee. The classes were
amazed at the accuracy of Mr.
Henson’s casting and were as
sured by him that anyone can do
as well with practice.
Bridesmaids Twice
But Never A Bride
The final standing of the South
Piedmont Conference showed the
winner of the girls to be Barium
Springs, and the runner up, of
course, was Albemarle. At the
Southern Piedmont Conference
tournament at Statesville the
champion girls’ team came from
Barium Springs, and the runner
up came from, you guessed it,
Albemarle.
Although our girls’ team boast
ed such sharpshooters as Bobby
Watson and Frances Hinson and
probably the best set of guards
in the conference, they always
lost to Barium. The only games
they lost all season were the two
conference games to Barium
Springs, and the South Piedmont
Conference tournament final al
so to Barium Springs.
The common belief is that
Barium Springs held no jinx over
the local team, but the reason
they won was that they played
their best when the chips were
down.
To use a certain phrase “We
ain’t mad at nobody” will best
express the feelings of the AHS
students. The whole school is
proud that the girls’ team> made
such a fine showing this past
season.
Someone had to win. It would
have been nice if it had been
the AHS girls’ team, but it is felt
that to be good losers is an ad
mirable quality to own. The
AHS girls’ team possesses that
quality.
Car Accidents
Mary Ellen Speights, Myra
Davis and Sue Taylor were in
jured in a car accident Tuesday
afternoon. The collision occur
red near South First and South
