Seniors, Prepare For College Day!
With the annual ASKS College Day approaching this is sort
of a preview to that event in the hope that it will shed some
light on some of the problems that might confront the seniors.
This year is a very big step in your life. The college you
attend and the courses you take will have a great deal of in
fluence on the rest of your life. It is therefore important to
ipick a college that can benefit you the most.
We at ASHS are very lucky to have such a fine College Day
every year. ASHS is one of the few schools of its size in the
state that has a program like this to last all day. Most other
schools get either a morning or afternoon to hold College Day.
College Day is sponsored by the ASHS chapter of the Na
tional Honor Society. This yea^ as in the past representatives
from all colleges in this region will be present. Juniors and
seniors of ASHS will be able, to talk to the representatives in
the morning half of the program.
The main thing in preparation for College Day that you
should do is to do some serious thinking on what career you
desire for the future. This will determine the type of training
you need and that in turn will influence what college you attend.
It will be of great help to you and the repre^ntative you
talk to if you know what you are interested in, how much
money you can afford, an estimate of your scholastic standing,
and other facts such»as these!
Also you should ask the college representative you talk to
the important things you need to know. Some of these are the
entrance credits required. College Boards required, cost, subjects,
and activities.
The main thing after College Day is over is to make up your
mind and get busy with everything that you need to do to be
able to attend the college of your choice.
This is a very important time of your life. Don’t look upon
it lightly.
A Time For Rest, Fun And Thanks
What does Thanksgiving mean to you? To so many stu
dents Thanksgiving means two days vacation from school; a
chance to catch-up on their sleep, a chance to read that library
book for the next book report, and a time for parties and other
forms of merriment. ,
Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks. Many students
say, “What have I to be thankful for? Nothing good ever happens
to me.”
These students never take the time to look around and see
the many things for which they should be thankful. As citizens
of the United States, they should be thankful that they belong
to such a wonderful nation that gives its citizens the freedom
of worship, press, speech, and many others.
We should give thanks to God for the birds, the flowers that
beautify our land, for winter, summer, fall and spring. Most of
all we should give thanks for America, where free men live, and
the many privileges we, as Americans, possess that other nations
do not possess.
May students, between parties, ball games, and other ac
tivities during Thanksgiving this year, take time out to thank
God for their ancestors, the pilgrims, to whom He gave strength
and courage to settle a new land, and to thank Him for their
many freedoms they possess today.
Teacher Of The Month
“I can’t get the darts in my shirt to work out, Mrs. Coble.
What can I do to them?”
“Mrs. Coble, my sewing machine isn’t working. How can
I fix it?”
These are only a few of the many questions asked in one
day to Mrs. Marie Coble, the teacher featured in this issue of
the Full Moon as Teacher of the Month.
Mrs. Coble, a graduate of Woman’s College in Greensboro,
teaches Home Economics here at Senior High and is sponsor for
Future Homemakers of America.
She has been a faculty member of ASHS only two years,
but because of her enthusiastic work with F.H.A. and her will
ingness to help any pupil in need, Mrs. Coble has proved her
self one of the most popular teachers here.
Being very original and always willing to lend a helping
hand, she is often called upon to take charge of the decorations
and the serving at banquets and other special events around
school.
Even though she stays very busy teaching here, as well
as at Junior High, Mrs. Coble always finds time to spend with
her husband, a successful lawyer here in Albemarle, and her
two very attractive little daughters.
Mrs. Coble, we are proud to have an attractive teacher with
a warm personality like yours on the faculty here at school,
and we are equally proud to have you as our Teacher of the
Month for November.

Young Politicians
Write Articles
Editorials from the last issue
of Full Moon written by three
ASHS students concerning the
presidential campaign recently
were published in the Stanly
News and Press.
“I’m for Nixon” by Steve Wat
son and “Kennedy for Me” by Bill
Burbage were articles appearing
in George Weaver’s column No
vember 4, Each article was con
cerned with the' vital issues of the
campaign, and each writer gave
his reasons why he would vote
for his candidate. i
In commenting on the writing
of these teen politicians, Mr.
Weaver said, “We think they
show an excellent grasp of the
situation and the ability to ex
press beliefs.”
On October 21, an article by
Mary Sikes also appeared in the
local paper. Mary’s article grew
out of an assignment in Eco
nomics which was based on saler
talks. She endeavored to sell e
small donkey, the Democratic
symbol. This article also appear
ed in the Raleigh News and Ob
server.
These three students have beer
commended highly for their jour
nalistic work.

CAMPUS CHATTER
Dear Gobble,
Well, here we are again telling all the gossip of ASHS. We
have been hiding in closets, going unnoticed to parties, and join
ing in the fun over Halloween. Yes sir, we have been very busy
during this last month.
.... TJie Stanly Room was the scene for Cecilia Roache’s Hal
loween party. All goblins were invited and everyone seemed to
have a good time. Those goblins especially enjoying it were
Karen H. and Nelson S., Brenda S. and Chip C,, Linda H, and
Jerry L., Pam S. and Lane L., Cecilia R. and Lindsay H., Betty
M. and t)avid B., Frances S. and Ronnie K., Judy C., Bobbie A.,
Susan A., Sara T., Edith SJ, Nancy S., Brenda M., Steve .S., Jerry
T., Bill B., Don B., and Mike F. Coach Nye and Miss Thomas
chaperoned and both seemed to be having a good time.
Another party was held Halloween night. Gaynelle Deese
gave it for her homeroom in the basement of her house. Judy U.
and Johnny F., Lane C. and Sylvia F., Gaynelle Deese and Bill
M., Bennie H. and Ellen E., Gary M. and Barbara F., Diane iG. and
Steve G., Joann T., Gayle M., Janice M., Bertha M., Wayne D.,
Jerry S., Joe A., Wanda T., Joann L., Vicky H., Peggy S., Gary S.,
Philip M., Joe H., Mary Jo P., and Don P. and Becky B. were seen
scaring all the spooks.
Congratulations to Pam Treece, who was chosen DeMolay
Sweetheart at their annual Sweetheiart Ball. We think the De-
Molays are well represented by a very pretty Sweetheart.
The theme of the dance was “Harvest Moon”. Louise F. and
Jerry S., Pam T. and Bill B., and Julie B. and Bill S. were a few
couples seen there.
We want to thank Jane Crutchfield, Steve Surratt, Bill Bur
bage, Janice Hearne, Steve Watson, Pam Sells, Linda Haynes,
all sophomores, and all people that helped with homecoming
for making it possible. Everything went off smoothly and every
body seemed to have a good time.
A dance was held in honor of the Homecoming Queen, Susie
Napier, in the Student Lounge. The decorations for the dance
were exceptionally good, thanks to all tlie work the decorations
committee had put on them. Raymond P. and Sylvia W., Jimmy
B, and Ricky F., Frances S. and Mike F., Don S. and Linda L.,
Rowena K. and Tommy M.,, Suzanne S. and Tommy M., (Vivian
S. and Bill S., Betsy H. and Jeff U., Nancy S. and Bill M., Sandra
H. and Gerald H„ Fred S, and Inger B., Brenda M, and Terry M„
jTommy L. and Ellen E,, Nancy S. and Neville P., June W. and
Larry S., Joann T. and Mike B., Diane B, and “Bo” B,, and Marie
S, and Steve I, seemed to be having a wonderful time.
Several new couples have been seen around school, Janice
H. and Jerry T., Judy U. and Johnny F., Susie N. and Eddie W.,
Karen H. and Nelson S.,-Jeff U. and Betsy H., Diane B. and “Bo”
B., and Fred S. and Inger B. are among these. It seems that
Arthur Sells is having a heap of trouble picking between Vicky
Hudson and Joann Tucker. Which one will it be, Arthur?
The majorettes had a party at Bobbie Richards’ cabin at
the river for Bobbie Atkins on her birthday. We heard that it
was a complete surprise to Bobbie. Those joining in the surprise
were Judy C. and Jimmy M., David S. and Wanda T., Cathy F.
and Gary M., Nancy L., and Bennie H. We heard that about
fifteen Pfeiffer students invaded the party and that all enjoyed
the evening, especially Bobbie.
Since Asheboro was the last fodtball game tha,t the senior
^oys will play in high school competition, we want to recogn’ze
^hem and commend them on their fine playing. Way to go, “Bo”
■’^urris, Mike Wolfe, Mike Fusonie, Steve Isenhour, Gary Mauldin,
Kent Montgomery, Craig Morgan, Craven Morton, and William
Walker.
The Asheboro game was also the final game that Judy Chan-
'’ler and Susan Ausband marched in. You did a fine job, major
ettes. Pam Sells, Susie Napier, and Louise Furr have now cheered
it their last football game. Thanks for all the school spirit,
cheerleaders.
Until next month we will be signing off. Remember, we see
all, hear all, and above all, we tell all.
