Fry Thanksgiving I’m thankful for the winter time, Spring, summer, and the fall. And for a wise and loving God Who watches over all. And for this land, America, Wherein free men are living With right to worship as they please, I render my Thanksgiving. To The Fiont Lines, Soldier A wizened, twisted man entered the small church. His sunk en eyes plowed down the lonely pews, finally stumbling to rest on a slick black head just in front of the lectern. He sauntered down the aisle and paused beside the boy. “My son,” he ques tioned kindly, “why are you sitting idly on this Thanksgiving morning?” The youth jerked his head to stare at this querying stranger. “Why, I’m thanking God for all my blessings. What could be more appropriate on Thanksgiving?” “Prayer,” smiled his elder with a twinkle of wisdom in each eye, “is good. But look at Mrs. Gregson, the old widow down the street. She’s mighty thankful today, too. But she’s helping my niece, Cathy, with her new baby. The Reverend Mr. Arnold is visiting the hospital to spread some words of cheer and hope. “Yes, my boy, prayer is good, indeed. But we’ve got to move to the front lines once in a while and help God to help others. He’ll KNOW we’re thankful, then.” Patient On Road To Recovery “No! No! Ouch!” This was the cry of the litterbug as he received special vaccinations administered by the Student Coun cil. These injections were painful and the bugs are feeling mighty , low. Under the guidance of “Doc” Peggy Smith, the Council mem bers vaccinated these pests with poison in the form of posters and eye-catching displays placed throughout the school building and grounds. Several of these catchy slogans were “Are You A Litter bug?”, “Down With the Litterburgs!” and “Don’t Be A Litterbug!” Assisting the Student Council, the Full Moon publicized the operation by featuring it in the editorials and Inquiring Reporter columns. The Stanly News and Press ran an article and a pic ture of one of the displays. Students aided in the medical treatment of these creatures by co-operating with Dr. Smith and her professional staff in the conquering of this contagious disease. The remarkable recovery of the patient is verified by a physical examination of its halls and grounds. The many white spots have been removed from the throat of the sick building as de termined by the check-up. Also the exterior and surrounding areas have been mended by the remedying of extra trash cans. The hope is that these litterbugs have been exterminated for the entire year and not for just a few weeks. A special thanks to the Student Council for curing the school of-this dread affliction. T eacher-of-the-Month Inquiring Reporter Who is the person you appreciate most? Why? Work! Work! Work! This is one of the most important distinc tions of our teacher of the month, Mr. John C. Morris. He is always on hand to help any club or or ganization which needs his skill of construction. He proved this by building a star for Homecom ing. Being called on often to help with difficult tasks which no other faculty member could com plete, Mr. Morris never refuses anyone. Many ‘College Day representa tives have sent letters to AHS commending the National Honor Society on its well-organized Col lege Day. Following are some excerpts from these notes: “Your College Day program was a most successful one. I want to express the official thanks of Duke University and also my personal appreciation for the invitation and opportunity to be present. Robert L. Thompson Duke University”. “It was certainly a pleasure to attend your “College Day” and meet your very fine students. I was much impressed with their attitudes and the questions they asked. Evidently considerable thought and guidance had gone As an Industrial Arts teacher for Albemarle High School, Mr. Morris builds stands, repairs desks and chairs, and does many other things that require a special tal ent. The Baptist Church is privileg ed in having Mr. Morris as a bass in its choir. Also he works in the Intermediate Department. Mr. Morris is a great asset to our school and community and we are grateful for such a hard working man as a member of our faculty. into preparing them for the occa sion. , Glenn Hardesty Brevard College”. “Thank you for giving Queens the opportunity of being repre sented at your College Day. I met such nice girls and enjoyed talking with them about college. (Miss) Sue Jones Queens College.” “I enjoyed my visit at Albe marle, and was impressed with the large number of good students who were interested in coming to Wake Forest. I shall look for ward to seeing you . . . at Wak^ Forest next fall. Percival Perry Wake Forest College.” Books Alive!

MARY JO WINN After spending a period in the library Mrs. Hayes suggested sev eral topics to her tenth grade English classes, one of which they were to use in developing an essay on the library. This is what Mary Jo Winn thinks about the opportunities the library offers: “A library is a place of many and varied opportunities. Lining its shelves are hundreds of books which open to many interesting adventures. They may contain stories, poems, sayings, and plays, fact or fiction, some of which are certain to be of interest to you. Besides these books, several sets of encyclopedias afford a gateway to anywhere in the world, any time, past, present or future. Why, these books contain infor mation on almost any subject! Then too, there are the modified books of information, the diction aries,^ which can be of great help in spelling, pronouncing words, defining words, and increasing your vocabulary. Yes, through these open doors, opportunity himself awaits YOU! Don’t keep him waiting. ^ GIRLS “My sister, Barbara, because I’ve always known her and she’s helped me in so many ways.”— Betty Holt. “My mother, because she’s al ways so good to me and she’s just my mother.”—Saundra Burle son. “Boys in general, because they’re all so cute.”—Sylvia Smith. “Right now my mother, because she’s keeping my children.”—^Mrs. Deese. “My daddy, because he lets me have the car once in a while.”— Ellen Rogers. “Everyone, because I wouldn’t get along without other people.” —Edith Smith. “My parents, because they’re so good to me.”—Martha Huckabee. “My boy friend, I guess, be cause he’s so nice to me.”—Jane Murrell. “Mother and daddy, because they’ve done so much for me and are still doing it.”—Louise Furr. “My mother, because she’s al ways done so much for me and helped me.”—^Marcia Moses. “My mother, because she lets me date Mamey.”—Priscilla Bur ris. “My mother, because she does more for me than anyone else I know.”—Peggy Jordan. “My mother, because she gives me money.”—Joyce Burris. “I’ll tell you who I don’t ap preciate.

CAMPUS CHATTER The halls of A.H.S. are filled with happy students anxiously awaiting the Thanksgiving holidays. All have big plans to cele brate the festive occasion. 'Our Carrousel Princess, Sue Winn, is especially excited over the Carrousel Parade, which will take place during Thanksgiving- We wish you luck. Sue, as you represent A.H.S. Winky and I hear everyone is looking forward to the arrival of all the college students during the holidays. The ones who have beaus will especially be thrilled when they some home. The highlight of the Thanksgiving season will be the dance given by the National Honor Society. People will be seeing double because the purpose of the dance is to come dressed like your date. Who is that blonde headed girl who has Kenneth Hinson snowed? Dinky has been seeing some wooing between the two in the halls. Maybe her initials are Jo Ann Holt. * A good time was enjoyed by Joyce and Sherrill, Billie Jane and Cary, Judy and Tommy, Mickey and Diane Butler, Stanley and Emma Lynn, “Mule” and Judy, Mickie Doby and “Tadpole”, Myr^ Carpenter, Linda Doby and Pete Blalock, Libby and Josh, Jimmy and Mary Jo, Bonnie and Roger, Lydia and Chip, Johnny and Marie, Pat and “Corbet”, Janice and “Babe”, Paula and Paul Carp enter, and Landis and Eddie Davis at Bettie McManus’ birthday party at the Youth Center. Winky saw some of the people com ing as stags, but not leaving as stags. Some of these were Sylvia and “Spivey” and Susan and Don. Celebrations for the Homecoming Week started Monday with the cheerleaders as hostesses for the Rock and Roll party on the radio station, WABZ. Just for fun, the cheerleaders played “Get With It” and “All Messed Up” for the majorettes. Tuesday was Color Day at AHS, when all the student^ wore blue and white. Some of the ones who didn’t obey the rules are Peggy Smith, Stanley Lawhon, Graham Harwood, Carolyn Nicholds, Wad^e McSwain, Roger'Smith, and Roger Whitley. Be ashamed. Some of the teachers looked very school spirited in their clothes. Mrs. Deese, for instance, was very attractive in her royal blue skirt and white sweater set. Also on Tuesday the majorettes were on the radio dedicating songs to the students. They played “We Can Get Along Without You Now” for the cheerleaders, to get even for Monday’s program. Wednesday, the cheerleaders boosted Homecoming by eating lunch on the Square. During the same day they played requests on the radio for the pupils of Albemarle High School. Efird Ball Park was the center of a big bonfire Thursday night. The students showed their school spirit by gathering around the fire, yelling school yells and singing school songs. Everybody went crazy over Stanley’s little dog, especially Diane. The Homecoming game, which was postponed Friday night because of rain, was played Monday night. Winky and I had a wonderful time at the game and at the dance which took place in the student lounge. We saw Brenda and Eddie, Betty and Graham, Richard and Frankie, Peggy and Larry, Woody and “Beebee”, Diane and Wade, Louise and Stanley, Barbara and “Jungle”, Becky and Roger, Jane and Jimmy, and Linda and Gene all having a terrific time. The football players chose a very attractive queen for Home coming this year. Congratulations, Becky Coble. There are stars in Susan Ausband’s eyes these days. Could you have anything to do with it, Paul “Woo Woo” Welch? _ It seems as if Don Montgomery has a harem. Will he picK Ann Bell, Ann Whitley, or Susan Cashwell? Please tell us the outcome of this, Don. i Congratulations, Judy Efird. We are very proud to have yo^ as Miss Merry Christmas for A.H.S. Well folks, that’s all the gossip for the month of November. Until next month when Winky and Dinky will bring you some more gossip, bye-bye. \ —WINKY & DINKY. THE POSTMAN CALLS
