Page 6 THE FULL MOON October, 1956 T eachezs Become Summer Students While Albemarle High School students were amusing them selves at different vacation spots this summer, some of the teach ers were busy going to school. Miss Bankett received her Mast er’s degree in Business Educa tion at Woman’s College. She was one of two selected for the national honorary business fra ternity, Delta Pi Epsilon. Mr. Knotts completed his studies at Duke this summer. Mrs. Hauss, who is now teach ing home economics instead of biology, went to Woman’s College to renew her certificate. Mr. and Mrs. Fry completed work for their Master’s degrees at Appalachian State Teachers College. During the summer Mr. Fry was President of the Grad uate Club and also Graduate As sistant in the Audio-Visual De partment. Mrs. Carter also attended Ap palachian State Teachers College for additional work on her Mast er’s degree. Plans Now Begun For 1957 Annual Big things are in the making as the annual staff begins discuss ing plans for the yearbook each Thursday at third period in the annual staff room. During the meetings, division heads bring suggestions and re ports from the small staffs to be discussed and worked out. Ad assignments are being given out now by Robert L. Smith, business manager, and Johnny Renger, assistant manager. Other division heads are Rona Jane Mauldin, Literary; Diane Tucker, Typing; Jackie Richard son, Art; Tommy Shaver, Photo graphy; and Glenn Talbert, Sports. Mrs. Carter directs and advises the staff along with Jo Ellen Brooks, editor, and Janis Westerlund, assistant. Grading System Is Changed To Encourage Better Work One of the biggest changes at®^ A. H. S. this year is the new grading system. The purpose of this is to get students interested in doing better work so that their grades will be kept high when they enter college. In order to receive an A, a student must maintain an aver age of 93 to 100. B will be from 78 to 92; this will be the average grade. C will be the lowest pos sible passing grade. Physical Education students will either re ceive an S for satisfactory or a U for unsatisfactory. It is hoped that this system will not increase failures, but promote better work from the students. Another change this year is the new homeroom period. The fresh men have their homeroom first period, the sophomores have theirs second, and the juniors and seniors have theirs third period. This year the homeroom periods are one hour long; thus the school day consists of six periods. The final bell rings at 3:05. Students are then dismissed unless they have to make up work or time in detention hall. Lunch periods are now on a thirty minute basis. Each class has a certain time to eat each day. Under this new system no one has to wait in line, and it gives the cafeteria workers a chance to keep up the food sup ply. The students must watch the time since the bell does not ring for their return. It is hoped that later a music appreciation program can be .started. The program will be held in the mornings before school opens in the auditorium. Mr. Fry and Mr. Cashwell are working on this project and hope to com plete it in the near future. Stanly Fair Scene Of AHS Displays Various science projects were attractively displayed against a blue mural on the constellations in the science exhibit at the Stan ly County Fair this year. Robert L. Smith, Marney Low- der, Winfred Ford, and Frances Little were the hard working stu dents under Mr. Hatley, advisor. One new exhibit placed by the Junior Red Cross of Albemarle High School but representing the county chapters occupied the booth next to the science exhibit. A globe formed the center of attraction with streamers off to displays which were received from Ireland and Israel in return for boxes sent to foreign coun tries. The American Red Cross sponsored this project. Firestone Home & Auto Supply C. D.
