iJL i^OOL MOON Volume 60, No. 7 ALBEMARLE HIGH NEWSPAPER 311 Park Ridge Road Albemarle NC 28001 982-3711 APRIL 1995 VrBvious W to at Graduation by Johnny Caudle We have had many great graduation speakers over the years, but this year, plans have been made to have former Vice President Dan Quayle to speak to the class of 1995. The school board and administration is very excited to have such a prestigious speaker for graduation. Mr. Quayle is well known for his family values, and he is exjjected to deliver a meaningful speech for the class of 1995. While he is in the area, Mr. Quayle, an avid golfer, will play several rounds of golf at Uwhar- rie Point, the highly acclaimed course located on Badin Lake. The school officials are trying to work out the problems caused by his secret service protection. All people attending graduation will have to be cleared through a metal detector before being seated. These metal detectors will be run by Was Hamlet Insane? personnel from Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. We all look forward to Mr. Quayle's speech on June 6! Dan Quayle, graduation speaker. Guilty or Not Guilty, That Is the Question William Shakespeare, Bard of Avon, was bom April 23,1564. Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, was perhaps his most famous creation. Instructed by his father s ghost to avenge the latter s ^th, he wm a man who could not make up his mind, according to Sir Laurence Olivier, who woii an scar or portrayal of the melancholy Dane. Perhaps he could not finally make up his mmd whether or not finally make up his mind whether or not to kill King Claudius, his uncle. But he certamly killed old Polonius through the curtain in his mother s chamber, believing (or hoping.) s unc lurked there. But was Hamlet mad, or was there method in his madness? ■ v $upremeCourtJusticeAnthonyKem,edywantedtofmdout,soH^letwas putontnd ^ at the Art InstituteofChicago-sHurT.anitiesFestival.frheS200perheadadmBs.onfeew.il be used to subsidize other festival events.) areued Justice Kennedy presided.

No longer will students be able to question why they cannot wear shorts of a certain length and no longer will they be able to petition the fact that certain students get away with wear ing provocative clothing because with the school's new dress code, nobody can wear anything con sidered indecent. For girls and guys, dress pants must be worn at all times, winter, spring, siunmer, or fall. These pants must come all the way down to the ankle and hang loosely. Abeltmustbe worn with all pants that have belt loops. Dress shoes must be worn with these pants and the shoes must cover the entire foot. No sandals or flops will be allowed. Socks or hose must be worn at all times. Shirts, however, have a few more rules. Guys must wear shirts with sleeves. Girls, though, must wear shirts with sleeves, whether long or short, and they must hang loosely on the body (yes, that means no more cute tees from the Limited or Express, girls!). No tanks or sleeve less shirts will be allowed. In addition, shirts must cover the belly button and armpits and carmot be see-through. For silky, transparent shirts, a tank or other tee must be worn under neath. No shirts can be V-neck or have a low round collar. All collars or the top seem of all shirts must reach the neck. After all these new rules, what chance do students have of being in fashion?-Well, students still get to pick their own favorite colors and designs; the clothing just has to meet the size and fit regulations of the dress code. Just think, they could have gone to a dress code wear everybody wears the same navy blazer with pants and a white button-down. The starting date for this dress code has not yet been seL For the time being, school officials are giving students time to go purchase or prepare a whole new, decent wardrobe. m omesiey Because of the many recent car break-.ns tha have occurred in the Albemarle H.gh S^ool parking lot, new security nlanned Starting on the first day of schoohn the 1995-96 school year, a gate will be placed at the entrance ofthe school parking lot.

Elsa Lee models her style of clothing due to the dress code. Computers to be Jtequlrect for All Students by Johnny Caudle Are you tired of sharpening pencils and buy ing paper? Well, beginning with the 95.-96 school year, all students will be required to have a lap top computer. All homework, class assignments, and note- taking will be done on the lap-tops. There will also be no more text books. Students will have a program that is designed like a text book for the course that they are taking installed in their computer. When students are ready to turn in an assignment, they will give their teachers a disk and the teacher will quickly make a copy of that assignment and transfer it to their computer. Each class room will be provided with a charge system and each student can recharge their computer every morning. There are still a lot of bugs to work out, but the plan should be up and running by the first day of school for the 95-96 year. Terris Little uses his textbook for the last time.
