October, 1956 THE FULL MOON Page 3 5 New Teachers loin AHS Faculty Five new members have been ad(}ed to the A. H. S. faculty this year: Mrs. Rosetta L. Rogers, Mr. William L. Lippard Jr., Mr. Don M. Knotts, Mr. Gerald Ellis Bras well, and Miss Mary Martin Has sell. If you ever suddenly get the yearning to squint through a microscope at the vast world which remains unseen to the naked eye, hurry down to the bi ology lab, where you will almost certainly find Mrs. Rogers teach ing her sophomores something of the sort. Mrs. Rogers isn’t new ^t teaching since she taught be fore coming to A. H. S. Her hometown is Allendale, S. C., 'Vhich makes her choice of a South Carolina College, Winthrop, seem quite natural. Graduation followed four years later. Flow ers are her hobby — quite ap propriate for a biology teacher. Mr. Lippafd has a varied sched ule, teaching world history, gen eral math, and physical educa tion. He is a former resident of Salisbury. Upon graduating from Catawba College in 1953 he taught in Kannapolis for one year. He then served in the Army for two years. When you are in fiadin, stop at the golf course and you will invaribly find him there, since he spends much of his leis ure time playing golf. Having a hometown boy come 'iack after several years away ^Iways seems nice; therefore Mr. Knotts received a big welcome When he came to A. H. S. to teach this year. Prior to graduating from Duke University, Mr. Knotts Served four years with the Air Force. Showing a particular in terest in all types of sports makes nini especially suited for teach ing physical education. He also teaches U. S. history. When in need of advice, whe ther it lies in the field of figures, Circles, or squares, see Mr. Bras- 'yell and he will no doubt en lighten you, since it is his job to try to cram a little algebra and ^eometery into the minds of stu dents who are willing and other- ^v^ise. Mr. Braswell graduated irom East Carolina, and then spent two years in the Army. He then taught in Clayton, N. C., for one year. It seems that for a teacher, school never finishes, and Mr. Braswell is certainly proving it by going to ASTC on weekends for further study. Alumni News A. H. S. is proud of the large percentage of ’56 graduates who have entered their freshman year at various colleges. U. N. C. seems'to be the most popular with the boys. Those at tending the University are Ed- shay Brunson, Franchot Palnier, Billy Fitzgerald, Wade Smith, Jimmy Almond, Marvin Morton, Aaron Lowder and Johnny Rich ardson.

Bobby Baucom, Joe Kluttz and Tommy Johnson are continuing their studies at Pfeiffer. Greensboro College was the choice of Maxine Harwood and Kay Cauthen.

Because David Grigg had prov ed himself to be a leader he had been nominated by both conven tions. As a freshman and again as a junior David served as president of his class. In his sophomore year he became secretary of the Student Council. David became the first person in the history of the school to be elected president of the student body unanimous ly. David maintains a high scho lastic average and was among the first group of his class to be tapped into the National Honor Society. David is an athlete as well as a scholar. Playing forward, he has played two years of basket ball, one on the varsity squad. His main interest, however, is football. He played on the B- team one year, and as a guard made the varsity in his freshman year. This season he is co-cap tain of the team. If David could choose a perfect Linda Moose When Santa reaches Charlotte this Christmas, one of the pret tiest Carrousel Princesses who greets him will be Linda Moose, our Who’s Who for this month. Linda is one of the most ver satile girls in the Senior class. Each of her five years at A.H.S. has been a milestone for this girl. In her freshman year she held the offices of secretary of the class and president of the Tri-Hi-Y; in her sophomore year she was a member of the Student Council. Her dramatic ability showed from the first, for in the ninth grade she had the lead in a play given in chapel; then she had one of the leads in the junior play. Members of the Black Mas que Club elected her vice presi dent when she was a junior. Linda’s scholastic leadership is shown by the fact she has been a marshal every year at A.H.S. and that she was the first in her class tapped into the Honor Society. This year she is the ef ficient editor of Full Moon. This year marks her fifth as a majorette and second as a start er on the basketball team. When Linda is not playing golf evening, it would begin with a spaghetti dinner and would fea ture a movie starring Kim Novak and Gary Cooper. David would like to be a lawy er and plans tentatively to at tend Duke University next year. Whatever his choice, we feel sure he will meet with success. Woman's Club Honors Teachers Teachers in the city schools were the guests of the Woman’s Club at a reception on September 20 in the Helderman cottage. Mrs. Helderman was joined by the officers of the club, Mrs. John Haynes, Mrs. P. W. Edwards, Mrs. Everette Beam, and Miss Gladys Watson, in receiving the guests. Punch was poured by Mrs. H. L. Horton and Mrs. C. A. Sanders. During the evening Miss Mary Hearne and Peggy Smith enter tained with musical selections on the piano. Good-byes were said by Mrs. Lane Brown and Mrs. Paul Kotter. College Courses OlieredByASTC In order to provide college courses for teachers, an off-camp- us college center has been estab lished here in Albemarle. Classes, which have already begun, meet each Thursday with two class periods, at 4:00 and 7:00 p. m. Approximately twenty- five teachers are enrolled from Albemarle and the surrounding counties. The two courses taught are the Teaching of Reading and the Psychology of Personal Ad justment. Uberto Price, Professor of Education at ASTC in Boone, will teach all the classes, which will last for a period of ten weeks. The center is a project of the local Albemarle city unit of the NCEA in co-operation with Ap palachian State Teachers’ College at Boone. Mr. Fry is chairman of the committee. or listening to her record collec tion, she may be found at a movie starring either William Holden or Elizabeth Taylor. She plans to spend four years in college after high school but is still undecided about where she wants to go. Wherever the college is, it may consider itself lucky to get a girl like Linda.
