Any person wishing to buy, possess, or consume alcoholic beverages must have reached the age of twenty-one. Penalties for violations of the new law range from a twenty-five dollar fine to two years in jail. To help enforce this new law, the Division of Motor Vehicles, as of September 1, will color code drivers’ li censes and special ID’s into two groups: those who are twenty-one and those who are under twenty-one. The ID’s will also bear a physical description of the person who carries the card. Anyone thinking of using a fraudulent ID should reconsider. Using a fraudulent ID will result in a loss of license for one year. Is one drink really worth it? Sweet Tooth Attack By BETH NEEL Do you love chocolate?

ASHS Starts at New Time By TONY BURNS Does the time 8:15 ring a bell? If YOU are a student in any of the Albe marle City Schools, 8:15 does ring a bell, the tardy bell. The school day was lengthened for ;pveral important reasons. Each school in the Albemarle City Schools System is required to schedule five and one-half hours of instruction for each student each day. With a six- period day, time is also allotted for assemblies, pep rallies, and special events. Another reason for the new time is to provide equal lunch time for all students. In years past, first and second lunch periods lasted only twenty to twenty-five minutes, forc ing students to gobble their lunches. The added time also gives teach ers enough time to take care of homeroom business and allows the office enough time to give all an nouncements. This means that classes will not be interrupted by forgotten or extra announcements. Many will disagree with the 8:15 starting time, but all must comply. How much more time do students spend in class? Five minutes! This is a small price to pay for uninter rupted classes, assemblies, and pep rallies. Student Council Leaders By MARIEL BAUCOM ASHS Student Council officers were inducted in assembly during the first week of school. These leaders of our school have various interests and ac tivities. Charles Grigg, in addition to being our Student Council president, is an all- conference tennis player and a Varsity basketball team member. This summer Charles attended Governor’s School East at St. Andrews College. In his free time he taught swimming lessons and was a lifeguard at Rock Creek Park. Our vice president, Cameron Speight, is a member of the Varsity football team and is president of the VICA club. This summer Cameron kept busy with football practice and work. Philip Scheble, our secretary, refined his basketball skills at Carolina and Pfeiffer basketball camps this summer. He also participated in an engineer’s camp at N. C. State. At school, Philip is on the basketball and baseball teams. Our Student Council treasurer, Jeni Hedrick, is editor of the Full Moon and a member of the tennis team. After school and on weekends Jeni works at Belk. She spent her free time this summer playing tennis and going to the beach. This year promises to be an exciting and eventful year under the capable leadership of these students.
