Page 2 THE FULL MOON March 1984 The American Music Awards: Alias The Michael Jackson Show By CHERYL GULLEDGE Music is an important part of today’s world. There are dif ferent types for different pur poses: music to express happi ness, sadness, hard times, and good fortunes. Other songs may relate to tradition or focus on cer tain aspects of life. But of all the different forms of music, one thing about them is the same. Someone appreciates it. Each year time is taken out to recognize music and its pro ducers. Many awards are given to the musicians, and the music itself is given an annual rating. The American Music Awards is I recently compared the Alex and Annie pictures, found at the top of their column in the Full Moon, to every member of the Journalism staff, including my self. Much to my surprise, there is no member of the stah that even closely resembles Alex or Annie. I have deduced two in genious solutions to this phenomenon. They are as fol lows; 1) the elusive two are not actually members of the Full Moon staff and they send in their column monthly. This conclusion an event that takes time to re member the achievements musi cians have made in the past year. On January 16th Lionel Richie hosted the music awards to re view the music of 1983. It was a two-hour special that started at 9:00 p.m. The show started off with Lionel Richie singing All Night Long (All Night) sur rounded by glorious dancers. Fol lowing the cheers of the crowd, Darryl Hall and John Oates were nominated as favorite pop group of the year. Receiving the nomi nation for favorite soul album was Mike Jackson’s Thriller album. Irene Cara added spirit to is highly unlikely, due to the fact that problems and dilemmas to be solved by Alex and Annie are sent directly to the Journalism room; 2) actual members of the Journalism staff are using the pictures as false identification and are operating under the pseudonyms of Alex and Annie. The second conclusion seems to be the more logical of the two. If there is indeed an answer to this baffling mystery, you can believe that Rodney Harwood, Investi gative Reporter, will find it. the show by singing her solo hit, Flashdance (What A Feeling). Following that, Mike Jackson comes back again by winning favorite pop album, Thriller. The favorite country album of the year was Alabama’s The Closer You Get. Next they took a few moments to recognize the one singer whose achievements prov ed to be more outstanding than any other singer during the year. This was Michael Jackson once again. The Special Award of Merit was given to Mike for his many years of singing and per forming. This award was the grandest of them all. After the cheers and tears from both Michael and the people who love him, he turned directly around to receive the favorite pop video of By RODNEY HARWOOD It has come to my attention that our beloved media center is not being used to the extent of which it is capable. Therefore I have deduced that the problem must revolve around the fact that students are just not aware of the vast amounts of quality reading available. In an attempt to solve this dilemma, I have taken it up on myself to bring the library to the student, using the awesome power of the press. From this point forward I will occasionally select one or two interesting and beneficial books from the shelves of our very own library and re view them for the Full Moon. I have decided to begin this excit ing, as well as educational, tradi tion with two wonderful books I recently discovered while brows ing through the six hundreds. These two books are: Henley’s Twentieth Century Book of For mulas, Processes and Trade Secrets, by Professor T. O’Con nor Sloane, and Electrons, Waves, and Messages, by John R. Pierce. Formulas contains more than ten thousand selected household, workshop, scientific formulas, trade secrets, chemical recipes, processes, and money-saving ideas for both the amateur and professional worker. Say you are home one evening and desperate ly need to know the correct pro- The Search Is On. The search is now on for Miss North Carolina U. S. Teen for 1984.

Once everyone was settled the show took a turn which changed the entire at mosphere. Lionel Richie and Bar bara Mandrell gave recognition and condolences for many great people that have helped to make this world as beautiful as it real ly is. They spoke of many people such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Marty Robbins, The Carpenters, and Muddy Waters. They stated that these were a few people who aren’t often recognized, but very precious. Barbara Mandrell con cluded the remembrance speech by singing We’ve Only Just Be gun (by Karen Carpenter). After this touching moment Janie Fricke was nominated female vocalist of the year with her hit single Let’s Stop Talking About cedure for platinizing aluminum. No problem! Just flip through Henley’s Twentieth Century Book of Formulas, Processes, and Trade Secrets until you find plating, then look under alumi num. It’s as easy as that! I find Formulas to be one of the most helpful and entertaining books of its kind in print today. I’m sure you will, also. The other fantastic publication I mentioned is John R. Pierce’s Electrons, Waves, and Messages which discusses the science of electronics and the electronics of communication. The book also discusses scientifically related material such as heat of the sun, communication theory, and the arts; these digressions show the intimate relation of science and technology to the common world about us. ELectrons is the type of book that seems to hold some thing new and exciting each time it’s read. These two books are as enter taining as they are educational, and I recommend them both very highly. If you do decide to read one, or both, of these two en lightening books and find that they are checked out, be patient and try again later. While you are in the library, examine some of the other quality reading avail able in our beloved media center. You’re welcome, Rodney Harwood, Investigative Reporter Strange sounds have been re ported to be drifting around the school every day from one o’clock until three o’clock. Where do the noises come from? They come from the dreaded band- room, home of doubtful and be wildering music. School musi cians go into the bandroom dur ing the spring, and are seldom seen again until the next football game. Spring (known to the faith ful as “concert” season) is not a time of hibernation. Spring is one of the hardest times of all for an aspiring musician. Marching is It. The favorite soul male of the year was taken by Michael Jack son like many other awards given that night. Favorite country male was the ever so popular Willie Nelson. And Mike had to make his presence known one last time by being nominated favorite pop male of the year. The special awards show turn ed out to be a great success with Michael Jackson receiving most of the honors. It was an event not to be forgotten (especially for Mike). There’s NO Place Like Eastgate By CHRISTI WILLIAMS On February 17, there was an article on the front page of the Stanly News and Press dealing with traffic in the Eastgate park ing lot. The Eastgate merchants are complaining about traffic on Friday, Saturday, and some times Sunday nights, which is caused by teenagers who use the parking lot as a meeting place. The merchants claim this traffic is the cause of their business declination. Shoppers are dis couraged by the traffic, from driving in and walking to the stores. I can’t agree with this opi nion. I spend a lot of time there on weekends and there is always a constant stream of people going in and out of the stores. There shouldn’t be many complaints about trouble crossing from the parking lot to the stores; most drivers are courteous enough to stop and let people cross. The traffic may be a factor in the business declination, but it isn’t the only cause. One merchant said he believes it is a game the teen-agers play, just to see how long they can get away with it. But I can assure them it isn’t a game. They make it sould like we do it just to spite them. I’d like them to tell us what else there is to do in Albemarle. Riding around in circles in a parking lot isn’t the most exciting thing in the world, but there’s nothing else here for young peo ple. We ride around Eastgate be cause it’s a good place to go and meet our friends. stressed in the fall; music is stressed in the spring. As one clarinet player says, “When you are on a football field, no one is going to hear one wrong note. Chances are that no one will hear you anyway, whether you miss a note or not. When you are on a stage, anybody can hear every thing.” So, the next time you walk down the hall between 1:00 and 3:00, remember all the unsung heroes cooped up in that little room. They try as hard as any football player.
