The Full Moon M&vuf ChjuAtnoA Vol. 24 —No. 4 Exams Will Begin January 19; New Schedule Adopted A change has been made in the schedule of mid-term exams, ac cording to Mr. Cashwell. Beginning Monday, January 19, the exams will last for the peri od of a week and will end Janu ary 23. Instead of having the customary two exams a day, the new schedule includes only one each day, to be held in the after noon, the morning being devoted to regular classes. The new schedule goes like this: Monday morning attend sixth, second, third and fourth period classes and in the after noon have the first period exam; Tuesday morning first, sixth, third, and fourth periods will be held, as the second period exam 'vill be that ?ifternoon; Wednes day morning consists of first, sec ond, fifth, and fourth periods, 'vith third period exam that aft ernoon; Thursday morning will be like a regular school morning ''^ith fifth period exam in the afternoon; Friday morning the sixth period exam will be given, after which students will be dis- niissed for the day. When asked why the change, Mr. Cashwell answered, “First, IS the transportation problems; and secondly, when you operate *^n a closed lunch period, you’re supposed to keep students at school all day and this would be nripossible under the old sche dule of exams.” Albemarle Senior High School, Albemarle, N.

The program was very colorful as the hues of girls’ evening dresses ranged from brilliant red to soft pastels and the boys’ white dinner jackets made a beautiful background.

Another result of the white blanket was the changing from December 12 to February 13 of the Junior play, “The Strange Boarders”. Merry Christmas And Happy Memories! It’s worse than Saint Nick s workshop around the homes of most of the ASHS students. Still, in others, the dreams of Christ mases gone by still live today. Tust what are the students doing along this line, and what are some of their dreams? Santa’s elves have seen^ Si^an Ausband, Ted Russell, GaiJ Van derburg, Loretta Howell, and Ronald Russell shopping for ]ust the right gift for that someone ^'’sylvia T^cke^ is planning to go to the beauty parlor to get pretty before my boyfriend comes ^°Snie Sides isn’t doing much Christmas buying yet; her thoughts are more along' the shoes and rice theme, luc^ girll Jane Cotton is waiting for that Christmas dinner. How can food he m?ve appealing than pres- Gilts ^ Many of the students belon; g to groups that are planning to bi ^ng cheer to the homes of fami lies wh6 are less fortunate. This is truly the spirit of the season. Priscilla McSwain remembers the year she got up at 2 a. m. and got sent back to bed, and brother Jerry likes last year best ’cause he had his driver’s license and could go anywhere he want ed to. A house full of cousins brings back fond memories to Jerry Lou Holbert, and now they have all grown up and some of the joys of childhood grew up with them. Bonnie Lowder likes all of the Christmases since the ninth grade because it was then that she started going with Roger. “I can’t think of the best one”, answered Janice Morris, “but the worst was when I was in the first grade and I spent the holidays in the hospital.” Torger Hetland is looking for ward to this one because he wants to see if the Christmas cus toms in Albemarle are like those in ^Norway, and Bryan Fox- is looking forward to this one be cause Torger is with his family. Perhaps Torger will add a touch of Norway to the Foxes’ family customs. Being born on Christmas day can present comi^ications on the present deal, but Mary Sikes still thinks that her favorite Christ mas is the one on which she was born, naturally! Susan Green likes this one be cause, “I’m so lucky!” It’s good to see you back at school Susan. Cowboy suit, guns, and ten- gallon hat are the most pleasant of memories for Janii Barrier. Kennie Beaver showed a streak of sheer genius when she said, “The one that comes on the 25th!” “Last year was my favorite, but I can’t tell you why,” replied Trina Barnes slyly. Could there be a certain boy involved? Well, Merry Christmas, little ones, and may Santa Claus be good to you and leave you lots and lots of toys under your Christmas tree. future to participate in’the finals for the district. ^ Those receiving the prized scholarships will be given $1,250 each year for four years. John M. Morehead, the one who sup plies the scholarship assists the foundation in their final selec tion.
