Fry Monologue of a Public Menace In the Library—“I’ll just clip this coupon out of this magazine. It won’t hurt it, and besides no one will ever know.” In the Halls—“I don’t see why they make such a big fuss about running in the halls. J^ou’re only young once. Anyhow, let the others get out of the way.” In the Restroom—“I’m going to smoke a cigarette—no one can see me here.” In the Classroom—“Might as well drop this paper on the floor— easier than walking up to the wastebasket. Besides, what’s the janitor for?” Going to the Cafeteria—“I’ll just slip in line here with one of my friends. No one will mind; besides that line is too long to go to the end.” Freshman—“I’ll just take these crip courses. They’re easy, and besides. I’m not going to college anywhere.” CongTatulations The student council of Albemarle High School is to be con gratulated on another successful venture. Under the watchful eye of a most capable sponsor and the leadership of a hard working president, the student council has started off the year with a bang-up performance. During the summer, while most everyone was enjoying a vacation, the student council officers held several meetings to plan for the coming year. On the first day of school they sponsored a “freshman day” for the purpose of showing the newcomers about the school and making them feel at home. This project proved to be such a success that it has been scheduled as an annual affair. Another undertaking of the student council which the editors of the Full Moon deem worthy of praise is the work being done with the concession stand on the football field and also the pro viding of gate keepers and ushers before and during the game. This has proven to be of great help to the people attending the games. The North Carolina Student Council Congress, which is to be’ held here October 25 is a venture that will take a great deal of work and planning, and we take our hats off to the student council for undertaking something that will add to the school’s importance and prestige. Fine Work It may not be the greatest, but it’s one of the best. Our band, under the able direction of Mr. Spencer Hatley, performs at every football game. Every show is a surprise, because every time it is presented differently. Some people might say that a football game would be the same without the band. Maybe so, but the game would not have the same spirit. One of our star football players said, “It makes you feel good to hear the band playing when you come on the field.” You could say that the band is a Boosters club, because when they’re playing, they put everything into it they have. We must go back into the week further than Friday night because there’s more to this story than just performing. Every day of the week the members of the band walk over to the band hall to rehearse the music that they will play at the game. Then they must practice marching and the routines that they will use at the game. Mr. Hatley will tell you that practice makes good, and the band tries to get all the practice that they can. Our high strutting majorettes we must not overlook. Under the direction of our new chief majorette, Kathryn Groves, our pretty majorettes have done some excellent, routines. We can be sure that we have some of the best majorettes and one of the best bands in the state, so let’s all give 15 rahs for the people who make up the band. Freshmen, Bewaie! Welcome, ireshmen. To you who are now beginning what will be your most enjoyable years in school, we would like to give a word of advice. What you do and what you don’t do in this and the next three years will determine to a large extent what you will do and what you will be in the future. If you are planning to go to college, you had best begin now to prepare yourself. - It has become evident and is becoming more and more so every day, that you must have a college education in order to obtain a good job. If you are like the average high school teenager, you are apt to let your social life outweigh your school work. Don’t feel too badly if you fall into this group, because you are not by yourself. However, we would like to .urge you to make the most of your last years in school. To a lot of you, high school will be about all the education you will receive. Don’t take the easy “crip course” way out. Even if you don’t plan to go to college, prepare yourself anyway, because you may get a chance to go some day. If you don’t heed this advice, you will find yourself in the same boat as a lot of seniors who didn’t study when they were freshmen. Too many of them took the easy way and now are sorry. The easy way is not always the best way. Books Can Be Fun By Donald Dorton Officers Elected. The Library Club had its first meeting on September 15, at which time officers for the year were elected and plans for the club were made. Officers are: President, Steve McLendon; vice president, Lyn- dell Thompson: secretary, Ken neth Sheppard, and treasurer. Buddy Boone. The two principal goals of the club are to instruct the students on how to use the library more efficiently and to buy some new books for the library. Library assistants proved most helpful last year. In addition to the officers, club members are Shirley Lambert, Barbara Morton, Jeffie Lee, Car- lene Doby, Opal Eudy, Jean Rob inson, Mark Almond, Larry Eudy, Pete Napier, Jimmy Cooke, and Billy Lowder. Suggested Books for the Month. Scott’s “Ivanhoe”—The story of early life in England and of how King Richard’s brother tried to overthrow and take his king dom. Stone’s “The President’s Lady” —The story of Andrew Jackson’s love for a woman they called d.dultr0ss Stinetorf’s “White Witch Doc tor”—The story of a nurse and a white hunter who came to love each other amid the deep mys teries of Africa. All of these books have been made into movies and will be very interesting. Magazine Section. Books are not the only things that are found in the library. There are numbers of current magazines on display with inter esting articles to suit every read er. Each of the following articles can be found in the library: “Coronet” for October: “Foot ball’s Finest Halfback” — The story of Johnny Blood has be come one of the great legends of the game. “Senior Scholastic” for Octo ber: “Flashing Spikes”—a good baseball story, “Holiday” for October: “Ste phen Foster Tour”—You may take a sentimental visit to the familiar scenes in the life of America’s gifted songwriter who is known for “Old Black Joe”, “Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair”, and “Beautiful Dreamer”. No matter what books or mag azines you choose to read, re member, “Reading (good litera ture) makes a learned man”. Little Known People Hardworking, overlooked and unappreciated. These adjectives describe a group of boys in Al bemarle High School whose un dying efforts and never-ending work has proved them worthy of the overdue praise which they well deserve. This group is the storekeepers in the student lounge. Whenever you go into the stu dent lounge you can see some of these storekeepers behind the counter. Most people think that their job ends when the school bell rings at 1:00 o’clock. How ever, it’s'quite different. Under the direction of Larry Hartsell, they Durchase all the candy, drinks, and other articles that the student store sells, and are responsible for keeping the store in order as well as the lounge itself. This is a job that requires about one hour of each boy’s time every school day. Not only do they run the lounge, but they manage the concession stand on the football field every Friday night. The student council recently formed a storekeepers club of these boys and has given them an honorary membership in the student council. The members of the “Store keepers Club” are Larry Chance, Johnny Rummage, Larry Lisk, Thomas Reeves, Jeffie Lee, Amo- relle Tucker, Libby McCloud, Bill Freeman, Pete Chance, and Jer ry Barrier. Two members of the club that are never seen are Nan cy Morris and Sarah Jo Hinson, who spend their afternoons parching and bagging 1000 bags of peanuts a week. The “Full Moon” is proud to bring this group of people into the light and is equally as proud to call this new club a vital part of our school. Inquiring Reporter Question: Which do you prefer, Badin Lake or the Airport? BOYS. Claud Grigg—Neither will do me any good, but if I had my choice I would take Badin Lake—better view. Lanny Ellis—Doesn’t matter, both are dark! Edshay Brunson—I think they’re both places that should be re ported to the Sanitation Department. Ottie Lynn—Don’t ask such personal questions. John Robert Taylor—Airport. Well, it’s just a little more private. Bobby Peck—Badin Lake; it’s cooler. Mr. Pendexgraft—Badin Lake. I haven’t seen the Airport yet.

(Campus Chatter) signing in to bring you the news and gossip around A. H. S. It seems that several love affairs have already blossomed. After all, summer romances don’t fade out just because winter is moving in. A lot of old romances are still going pretty strong. Right, Charlotte and Dickie Zalotta and Skipper? The postman is being kept pretty busy by Georgia, Ellen, T-Boe, Mulehead, Ralph, Richard, and C. B. By the way, Bobbie, what will take the place of a certain blue convertible? Larry seems to be a mighty popular name with a certain short 'n' cute cheerleader. Linda doesn’t have any worries since she’s just playing the field. John David, what happened to your bashfulness? Dan and Clumsy are regular Casanovas these days. Trying to snow those two gals? It seems that a beach party was enjoyed by a certain crew of six this summer. Moontans were much more popular than sun tans at Garden City. What ’cha say Bobby Eudy, Ellen Palmer, Jo Ann Atkins, and you three, boys? We’re having trouble deciding what it is that holds the interest of the younger A. H. S. cats at Myrtle Beach. Could you explain, John Robert, Edshay, Bernie, Joe, Pee Wee and Mickey? Albemarle girls still rate first on Cread McManus’ list. You wouldn’t be getting up a new case with a certain Hall gal, would ya? (We don’t mean an argument, Franchot.) Evidently, everyone had a great time at the Morrow Mountain Fall Dance.. If you don’t believe us, ask Wade, Skipper, Edshay, Keith, Lanny and C. B. (by the way, C. B., has that same love bug stung you again?) Emily, Ann, Pigmy, and Dixie, surely like those out-of-town cats. Emily, are those stars we see in your eyes? And Dixie, what about those fan letters that have been piling in? Several members of our faculty must have gotten the scent of orange blossoms this summer. Mrs. Carter and Mr. Robinette, are we right? We’re mighty happy to have a new football fan. Mrs. Robinette doesn’t miss a game. Could it be because of a certain coach on the field? All the football players have their sponsors’ names turned in now. Is it true that co-captains are first choice? Huh, Bobbie. By the appearance of so many pegged pants and cat haircuts we must have several new beach bums around. Agree, Snur, Keith, Sherrill, and the rest of you! Ridgecrest holds an interest for Jimmy Brown and Larry Tucker. Jimmy, was it five letters you received the other day? The girls have been wearing mighty bright smiles for the last couple of weeks. Could it have anything to do with Honie- coming? Your worries are over now, girls. Everyone’s set lo^ the big night. \ ^ Enough chatter—now for the platter. These are the tunes* that have been requested. You’re Mine Dotty and Wade I’m Going to the River Buddy Boone C’est Si Bon Mr. Pendergraft I’m Walking Behind You A. H. S. Track Team Without My Lover Edward Hatley Your Cheatin’ Heart Emily Morton No Other Love Joe Kluttz Through a Long and Sleepless Night Slumber Parties .
