Inquiring Reporter
Question : What did you enjoy most in High School?
What mil you miss most?
Teacher Of
We are very happy to feature
in our last issue of the Full
Moon such a versatile person as
Mrs. Rosetta L. Rogers.
Mrs. Rogers is one of the best
known and most popular teach
ers in this school. Having taught
at AHS only two years,-she has
already proven herself to be an
outstanding and most capable
leader.
Biology students learn about
nature from protozoa to the hu-
The Month
man body through Mrs! Rogers’
interesting teaching methods. All
of those present at the Science
Fair were certain to see what a
grand job she has done this year
in teaching her pupils.
Not only has she taught many
boys and girls how to dissect
grasshoppers or learn the parts
of a worm, but she has also ad
vised and worked with the Fu
ture Teachers of America club.
As sponsor of this club she has
Here And There
“MULE”: “ARE YOU in the
field day, Jeff?”
Jeff: “Yes, they’re using me in
the shot put as the shot.”

WHILE AT THE beach, Don
and Hunter found out that you
don’t have to pay for a float until
you bring it back.
After Don rented one. Hunter
turned to Cary and said, “If he
drowns, he won’t have to pay for
it.”

Norris: “I would, but they
haven’t invented a ski that will
keep me up.”

when discussing the attitudes
different poets have about death,
Mrs. Fry said, “Well, part of life
is death.”
“Yes,” exclaimed Wade Mc
Swain, “that and taxes.”

MR. FRAZIER: “SUSAN, go get
Mr. Cranford for me.”
Susan Ausband: “Which one is
that—Calvin or Haley?”

“LET’S COMMIT SUICIDE,”
suggested Kitty Almond before
a big French test.
“No,” Joyce returned, “then
we wouldn’t have anything to
live for,”

“Are Millie Hatley and Mr.
Hatley daughters?”—^Tim Drye.
“I think I’ll write an editorial
on how to be great—and tell all
my secrets.”—Kitty Almond.
“I used to take chewing gum
to school just so the girls would
ask me for a piece.”—John Wayne
Napier.
“That’s right, except it’s
wrong.”—Mrs. Hayes.
“Mrs. Test — I mean Mrs.
Deese.”—Wade McSwain.
Books Alive
For a few days I was afraid I
wasn’t going to make it in time
for this last article. You’ll nev
er guess what happened! I went
to sleep in one of the books and
woke up under a pile of clothes
in some student’s room at home.
Like all over-due books this one
should have been returned on
time, but I began to wonder what
was going to happen. Books are
sometimes forgotten! I could
imagine an announcement being
made at school calling all books
back in before school ended. The
majority of students are proud
of our library and want to take
good care of it. So I remind any
of you who have library books
out to bring them in immediate
ly-
All Time High
An all time high has been
reached this year with students
using the library more than us
ual, especially for reference
work. The circulation record al
so shows that an average of 624
books has been checked out each
week for home reading.
If National Library Week
meant for us to WAKE UP AND
READ, then let’s stay awake and
keep the reading program alive.
After exams are over, report
cards received, then what? Dur
ing the vacation months is the
very best time to relax and really
enjoy reading.
As you read good books this
summer try keeping a record. In
a small notebook you could write
the name of the author, the title
of the book, and a brief note ex
plaining why you did or did not
like the book.
helped the members in making
decisions for practice teaching
and planning how to raise money
for their scholarship, which is
given on Awards Day to some
senior future teacher.
We feel that we are most for
tunate in having Mrs. Rogers as
a member of our faculty and we
want to show her our apprecia
tion for all she means to us by
naming her the “Teacher of the
Month” at AHS.

CAMPUS CHATTER
Hi People,
This will be the last time we will give you headaches with
our senseless chatter, for soon we’ll be gone and some more
gossipers will take our place. We’ve enjoyed it and it’s been
fun and we hope that next year’s Winky and Dinky can find
out as much and more news than we did.
First we must congratulate Sue Winn and Carolyn Nicholds
for being runners-up in the “Miss Albemarle” contest. We’re also
very proud of Molly Holbrook for 'being one of the six finalists
in the pageant. Way to go, girls.
Oolie’s cabin was where the Tri-Hi-Y party for Juniors was
held. Not too many came but the real party-goers, Pete Blalock
and Betty McManus, “Tadpole” and Mickey Doby, Oolie and Eddie
Crutchfield, Janice Harris and Max Morgan, Linda Curlee and
Jimmy Kluttz, and Woody and Jean, of course, showed up, Oolie’s
cabin was rocking to the lake even before Janice and Max started
“jittering”.
It seems that the drive-in has been a big hit with some of
the students of A.H.S, even though the price has risen. Students
who have been going to the flick are Ann Bell and Henry Efird,
Linda Efirdand Chip Cain, “Jungle” Johnson and Barbara Smith,
Alex Furr and Brenda Furr, Tommy Murrell and Judy Efird, Rich
ard Peck and Frankie Hatley, and many sophomore girls in
Paula Feldman’s car.
What does Winston-Salem have that Albemarle doesn’t and
attracts Woody Durham like a magnet? We have a clue—there
has been a good-looking brownette from Winston here several
week-ends—but. Woody, is that it?
The hamburger fry that the Junior members of the Honor
Society gave to the Senior members was a big success. After
everybody ate his square hamburger and drank all the Pepsies,
some big card games got underway. Jo Parks, Shelby Thomas,
Larry Mullis, Barb Hoey, Gail Buck, Nancy Jo and George, Peggy
and “Little Mule”, Billy Jo and James, Sue and “Jug”, and Ann
Smith and James Renger played Old Maid, while Peggie Sue and
Diane showed Roger and Wade what expert bridge players girls
are and Stanley found some binoculars which intrigued him for
he knew exactly how to use them.
After the Senior banquet all the Seniors headed down to Nor
wood Lake where Graham Harwood had a ^big party. They were
planning on having a combo but the plans fell through. Just the
same Betsy and Joe Kluttz, Carolyn and Stanley, Kay and Ken
neth, Gay and Sammie, Pat and Norris, Betty and Graham, Pat
and A1 Fusonie, and Roger and Becky thought the record player
sounded just as good. *
Everybody has been running into Landis and Jimmy, Charles
and Mary Jo, Max and Janice, and Glenda Sue and Paul in the
halls. It seems these are the newest couples around.
After the Spring Concert, which was outstanding, the Mixed
Chorus had a party out at Kenneth Helderman’s. We saw Linda
Jordan and Jennings Burris, Joyce Burris and Sherrill, Eddie Burle
son and Brenda Gantt, and many ot^iers dancing, eating and liv
ing it up.
Well, fellow studen^ts, seems that this is the last Campus Chat
ter for the year of ’58. Hope we haven’t gotten too many enemies,
because it’s all been in fun. Be good and come see us next year.
Love,
Watty and Pe We
