’Let’s Git' Editorial, P.2 The Full Moon Do You Feel? See P.2 Vol. 37 —No. 3 Albemarle Senior High School, Albemarle, N. C. Nov. 10, 197! Where Have All The Teachers Gone? Nona Pease, Miss Alice Bell, Terrie Daughtery, and Katie Cauble gather for the Alice Bell Charm School. Bell Rings For Charm Members of the FBLA listened and learned at the Alice Bell Charm and Fashion School Monday and Tuesday, October 18 and 19 in the Central School auditorium. Miss Bell, star of radio and television and author of newspaper columns and several books, immediately captured the audience with her warm and friendly voice. Her lectures were spiced with jokes and witticisms, which set her listeners at ease. The FBLA members enjoyed the school, listening attentively and taking part in the activities. Things really got going as the girls observed the proper way to walk, sit, and stand, then prac ticed what they had learned. Many chuckles and grins broke out as the participants realized they had a lot to learn. Other topics brought up in cluded fashions and figures. A point system was introduced to help in avoiding overdressing. Several good-natured women volunteered to be guinea pigs and learned what was wrong with their attire. Miss Bell shared different diets, ranging from bananas and skim milk to steaks and cottage cheese. Refreshments and door prizes were added incentives at the school. Miss Bell’s books were on sale, and she autographed them during the breaks. This was Miss Bell’s last charm school, as she was recently married and her husband does not want her to travel. “This is a happy moment, but also a sad one,” said Miss Bell with tears in her eyes. The school was a big success. Powder Puff Proposed Money-making projects were the discussion topics at the Oc tober 25 meeting of the Junior Council. After hearing ideas such as car washes, bake sales and bottle collections, the Council members decided unanimously that they liked the idea of a powder puff football game. At this football game, which is still in the tentative stages, the Junior girls will play the Senior girls. Half time activities will include homecoming, where boys will sponsor the girls, and a “Queen” will be chosen. Tickets will be sold before the game and at the gate. and was very beneficial to the FBLA members that attended it. The meetings were jointly sponsored by the Albemarle Professional and Business Woman’s and the Junior Woman’s Clubs. Many local women also took part in the lessons. —Nona Pease Perhaps some juniors and seniors have missed some familiar faces in the halls of Senior High this year. The faculty lost 10 members at the end of last year. Miss Nanette Broadwell, who taught consumer math, gym, and coached girls’ basketb^l was married to Terry Moss last summer. They are living in Kannapolis where she is teaching at a K-town Junior High and coaching at A. L. Brown High School. Mr. Jim Burkhart taught Chemistry and Physics last year, and was co-sponsor of the Science Club. This year he is in the Army. Miss Chicora Caughman taught Analytics and Calculus, Algebra III, and Geometry. She retired last year after 28 years of teaching at Senior High. She is presently living in Lexington, South Carolina. Mr. Jerry Ellenburg taught World Geography and coached wrestling and basketball. This year he and his wife are residing in Kannapolis, where he is co ordinating the physical education program for elementary grades. Cash On Delivery Is it not true? You go to the grocery store and get the items you want, go to a cash register, and the clerk totals your bill on a cash register; you pay the clerk, and your groceries are put in your car. In the future, you will walk into the store and pick up a key. Everything will be behind glass, and when you see something you want, you place the key in the lock and the magnetic ink on the key records the price of the item. After you complete your shop ping, you will insert the key in a computer, and it will total your bill. Your groceries will be sent down a conveyer belt to you. Mr. Wilson Smith, Vice President and Operational Manager of Food Town Stores gave this peek into the future when he spoke to the DE classes, Tuesday, October 26. Mr. Smith is one of the original founders of the Food Town Stores. In 1929, someone would go to the grocery store and tell the clerk item by item, what he wanted and the clerk would run and get each item separately. He had no cash register; there were no prices on the items. He had to remember all the prices and add up the bill in his head. In 1929, $4.95 would equal $50.00 today. Mr. Smith also told some of the things a consumer should look for in today’s supermarkets: packaging of goods, false ad vertising, and stale or old products. If a store buys too much of a single product, the excess is sent back and the company packages the product under another label and reduces the price. Mr. Smith gave the classes some facts about the Food Town Stores, too. He said there are now 13 or 14 Food Town Stores in business throughout the state. The stores operate on 1 percent net profit compared to the average 3 percent. Mr. Smith spoke about the variety and versatility of jobs in the supermarket field. He said one could go as far as he wanted to in this field and choose from many different jobs. —Melita Corriher Countdown November 16 — FBLA Day November 17 — Seniors measure for caps and gowns November 15-19 — Sadie Hawkins Week November 19 — Sadie Hawkins Dance December 1 — College Day: 7- 0:30 p.m. December 15 — Exams: first and fourth periods December 16 — Exams: Second and fifth periods December 17 — Exams: Third and sixth periods December 20 — FREE!
