Journalism Class
Produces Paper
Of the many changes made in the
Full Moon this year, one of the most
outstanding is that students from all
three classes are now on the news
paper staff.
For the first time in the history
of ASHS, sophomores, juniors, and
seniors are on the Full Moon staff.
Formerly the staff was composed
of only seniors. It is believed that
through this class the paper will
have a wider source of information,
therefore improving it.
Advising the new Journalism
class this year is Mrs. Nancy Game-
well. In previous years an English
IV class, taught by Mrs. Paul Fry
and called Full Moon English, pub
lished the paper. In the present
Journalism class, only Journalism
is taught in connection with pub
lishing the paper. In Mrs. Game-
well’s opinion, “The newspaper is
one of the most important educa
tional activities in the school.”
New feature columns this year
include Know Your School, Kiddie
Korner, and Editorial Sidelines.
Bulldog Barks, formerly open only
to seniors, is now open to all ath
letes of ASHS.
The policy concerning contribu
tions to the newspaper from stu
dents outside the newspaper staff is
that a student may submit an ar
ticle and all will be considered for
publication.

HIGH STEPPERS GLAMORIZE BAND
Have Rhythm—Will Travel
Mr. Tommy Hauss, band director, has announced plans for the band
to perform in the Shrine Bowl game to be held in Charlotte, December 1.
Because of the large number of high schools in North Carolina, it has
been eight years since the Albemarle band last attended the event.
The band will travel to Chapel Hill, October 20, to participate in the
annual Band Day. Other trips will be taken to the annual Christmas
parades in Monroe and Salisbury and also the Carrousel Parade in
Charlotte.
It is because of the interest of the band students that the group will
make more trips this year than last.
Along with many new students in the band are several new major
ettes. Other new additions include blue and white “A” letters on the
drums and the bass horns.
In regard to the majorettes, Mr. Hauss says, “The majorettes are
the best that I have had when it comes to working together.”
The band has boosted school spirit
by adding rhythm to the pep rallies
and co-o]^rating with cheerleaders
by joinmg in musically qp the cheers
at tiie ball games.
The high-steppers shown in the
above photo are from left to right:
Sue Snuggs, drum major, Kr'ihy
Still, Shelia Shankle, Pam Lowder,
Brenda Russell, Annette Thomas, Ja-
hala Holt, and chief majorette, Bar
bara Furr.
There are 133 seniors, 163 jun
iors, and 243 sophomores enrolled
in ASHS this year.
Because of this increase, typing
is held six periods each day, senior
science is taught during fourth pe
riod, and the Algebra III class meets
each morning, from five minutes of
eight until eight twenty-five.
Paperback Pals
Samples of paperback books
which can be obtained by students
of ASHS are now on display in the
library. Orders may be placed for
these books or for almost any
book in paperback edition by sub
mitting the title desired to the li
brary assistants.
Keeping up with the modern
trend of building paperback li
braries, the Library Club is offer
ing this method of making paper
back books available. In this way,
a personal library can be built in
expensively and without difficulty.
