“Everyone runs
ing!” (a quote from a senior j
nalism student). What was she
talking about? Press day ■ ■
day the journalism
forms to Clown Carnival, and the
editor acts like King Kong.
Of course, the
is always distinctive. When one
enters, there’s a filing . • .
atmosphere. You know,
of like — a zoo!
Students dash here
yell at each the

single purpose of preparing
newspaper. , .
A few students s'.‘
stare out of the they
are waiting for *‘^‘'°?„.andinE
can write a truly outstanding
article.
A really co-ordinated group, the
ioumalism class. One of the stu
dents diligently typed out adver
tisement forms Upon ms^ction
of her work, she discovered she
had typed the perfect description
for a hiding, “The Fool Moon.
Anytime a person ventures into
the room, he is likely to observe
changes in the decor such as the
blinds pulled higher on o"® ®'de
to create a umque fan effect.
This really happened last year..
Although you may think the
staff is ? bunch of idiots (you
Ire absolutely right!), they some
how manage to get the pai«r out.
So the next time you re looking
^ the moon, friends, remember
it’s only full once a month.

Got a gripe? Something
bothering you? You’re mad at
a teacher, and you want to get
it off your chest? Or you’re
mad at something some of your
fellow students have done? Or
there’s just something you
want to sound off about? Well,
The Full Moon has decided to
start a sort of “gripe” column
for the students. You see, you
just write down whatever’s
bugging you on a piece of pa
per (neatly) and drop it into
the “gripe box” in Mrs. Game-
well’s room (211). It can be
anything at all that has any
relevance to ASHS. Please, no
jokes, fabricated complaints, or
cussing. We’ll print the ones
the editors consider important,
reasonable, or useful, and we
will try to print as many as
possible. In fact, we’ll try to
print all the gripes fit to print
— and then some.
The population explosion has hit
Senior High. This year enroll
ment increased by about ninety.
Everyone — old students, new stu
dents, teachers — is finding him
self in quite a dilemma as he
tries to cope with the situations
created by this increase.
New students are having to ad
just themselves to a school where
bells do not always ring, and
things do not always go according
to schedule. Old students are ex
periencing changes in their famil
iar routine.
Mrs. Westerlund was a little
seasick when she greeted her
World History class because she
had been looking out across an
ocean of unfamiliar faces. Every
one is seeing more new faces than
ever before. There are also more
problems than ever before.
Perhaps the most evident prob
lem is the line of starving stu
dents which forms in the vicinity
of the cafeteria during fourth
period. It seems to be one of
Mrs. Morgan’s lines because it
extends to infinity. Sometimes,
even after an hour long stand-in,
the cupboard is bare, and there
is a run on Hardee’s.
With more people, there are
more books piled on the floor.
With everyone scrambling for a
place in the line, few take time
to look for bookshelves.
Finding it difficult to walk on
books, the students pour into the
halls. Mr. Frazier, upset by the
overflow in his end of the hall,
recently established himself as of
ficial traffic policeman. He sug
gested that stoplights be plac^
m each hall to regulate traffic.
Pep rallies also present a prob
lem. The gym is so crowded
that some sophomores and juniors
must sit with the seniors. Many
seniors, who have attended school
for twelve years just to be able
to sit on the left side of the gym,
were highly insulted when under
classmen sat with them. Because
of the crowded situation, some
students found it so difficult to
actively participate that they did
not stand, clap, or cheer.
The Full Moon is there when it
happens. In order not to miss

Dear Fellow Students:
Your Full Moon is on sale this
week. This year the editor and
staff are planning for the biggest
and most exciting year ever at
ASHS. You won’t want to miss
cut on your record of the year’s
events—the Full Moon of course! I
This year we have an entirely
new approach in our feature de
partment. You’re going to like it.
Our budding young geniuses, Dick
and Mary Kay, have some really
fresh ideas in store for us.
David and Tim are going to
keep us informed about Gali-
more’s latest antics on the foot
ball field as well as giving us the
inside scoop about what “really”
goes on in Coach Cain’s skull ses
sions! Be the first to know if
Gene Hearne makes first string on
Coach Frazier’s list!
In the way of editorials Jane
and Dennis are really going to
rag those teachers if they don’t
treat us right! They may also
slip in a word to the wise to us
students if we don’t toe the line.,
Alice and Sherry will keep us up
to date with all the news around
school. Just think, when we’re
sitting in our rocking chairs, hold
ing our canes, we can look back
at our high school experiences
and mumble to our grandchildren,
“Ah, those were the good old
days.”
You can have all this for just
$1.75. Buy your subscription now
and let’s work together to make
this the best year ever for ASHS
and our Full Moon. — Patricia

Each month we. the Sports Staff, will bring up to date accounts
of the gridiron, hardwood, mat, diamond, net, and oval mattes
played by our Bulldogs.
Included in our section will be the exciting sidelights such as
moonlighting managers, vicious trainers, and “big-stick” coaches.
Another purpose of the Sports Staff is to bring the outstanding
athletes of Bulldog renown to the limelight. These players deserve rec
ognition for their work, and we hope Uiat this will provide interesting
reading.
To improve our pages, we invite you to make suggestions and
welcome any sporting news that may have been overlooked in our
own mad race to the presses.
