The Full Moon
Vol. 25 —No. 1
Albemarle Senior High School, Albemarle, N. C.
October 2, 1959
Full Moon Is Free
To ASHS Students
For 19th Year
For the nineteenth consecutive
year the Full Moon has gained
the distinction of being the only
school newspaper in the state to
be made available to the stu
dent body free of charge.
This is made possible by the
hard work of the newspaper staff,
who sells ads to the various
businesses in and around Albe-
fnarle, the paper’s only source of
income, and do many jobs ordi
narily done by the printer, there
by enabling the paper to operate
on a very limited budget.
The staff feels that each stu
dent should receive a copy of the
paper but if a subscription rate
Were charged, only^a portion of
the student body would sub
scribe.
Those serving on the staff for
this year are as follows: Editor,
John Burchette; Managing Edi
tor, Jerry Lou Holbert; Business
Manager, Harry Whitley; Assist
ant Business Manager, Roger
Laney; News Editor, Landis Mill
er; Feature Editor, Pam Truette;
Sports Editor, Bobby Harris; Typ
ing Editor, Luray Hatley; and
Circulation Manager, Ray Terry.
Those serving on the different
Writing staffs are as follows:
News Writers — Suzanne Finch,
Larry Joe Almond, Kenneth Hun-
eycutt, Mary Jo Winn, Roger
Laney, Eddie Lefler, Wayland
McKenzie, Larry Shelton, Paul
Welch, Neil Efird, Vance Huney-
cutt, and Luray Hatley.
Feature Writers—Susan Cash-
well, Linda Heckard, Bonnie
Lowder, Sylvia Smith, Gale Low-
^er, Ann Taylor, and Gene
Starnes.
