ELLEN HEARNE
Here she is, folks, where she has
;served to be for a long time. Yes,
blond hair and a neverfading

Being outstanding in Journalism
and being editor of “The Full
Moon” makes Ellen a well-known
and popular member of the senior
class. Last year “Hearne” was
the assistant business manager of
the “A1 Hi Script”. She has prov
ed to be very worthwhile in all her
school career.

change in ambition which per

favorite sports, while reading and
loafing are her pet pastimes. She
is a booster of popular music and

Studying out loud several weeks

tor three girls: Doris, Mabel and
Doris was reading Science orally
and at the same time Jerry Deese
was studying Biology in the same
room and in the same manner. She
was saying something about shield
wings, straight wings, scale wings,
half wings, nerve wings, etc.
A little later, Mabel, who wasn’t
getting much out of her history
with all this going on, started read
ing out loud also. All of a sudden,
Doris, who was going to say, “Let’s
stop up our ears,” absently-minded
said, “Jerry, let’s just close up our
wings so we can’t hear each other
talk.”
FILMS TO ARRIVE BY TRUCK
Educational films, selected by
the Science classes, are arriving by
truck instead of by mail this year.
This will allow more time for

Seven New Teachers
(Continued from page one.)
College, is teaching eighth and
ninth English and dramatics.
Among her likes, which are horse
back riding, swimming, knitting,
and music, knitting is her hobby,
although she is to begin a collec
tion of phonograph records as a
new hobby. Bette Davis, Norma
Shearer, Erroll Flynn, and Bill
Powell are her movie favorites.
Mr. M. J. De Lotto, the new
coach of A. H. S., is the next on
our list. He teaches physical edu
cation, and of course his favorite
sport is football. He also enjoys
fishing.
He dislikes boys that think they
know how to play football and
can’t. So you boys who are going
out for football, take heed. His
ambition is to have 200 boys play
ing football in A. H. S. So come
on, boys, and back him up!
Chickens and athletics are his
hobbies, and he has no favorite
movie stars.
Now for the last (but certainly
it least) of the group, Mr. H. C.
McFadyen. Before he came here
take the position pf principal,
was principal of the Wiscassett
School. Among his many likes, he
places ships first. When asked
about his hobby he replied, “When
you’ve got a baby, you don’t have
time for a hobby. But if I did
have time, I would build ship
models.” He is going to get a pic
ture (of a ship, probably) for his
office to replace the one that now
occupies the space on the wall in
front of his desk.
He likes to watch football, play
tennis, and swim. He likes air
planes, Dick Tracy, reading, music,
teaching school, Gary Cooper,
Deanna Durbin, Washtubs and
Easy—in fact, he likes most any
thing. He dislikes “Bob” Taylor
and Richard Greene.
It gets his goat for the phone
to ring, six persons to come in and
ask for seven different things, the
express man to come with a pack
age, someone come in for change,
another person ask for the audi
torium, all at the same time. But
in spite of all that, he likes his job
very much.
Well, that’s all. What do you
think of them now? They’re all
right!
DR. WARE SPEAKS
‘Look ahead” was Dr. Dwight
Ware’s advice to the students of
the A. H. S. Friday morning in as
sembly.
Dr. Ware advised students to
^me down to earth after the ex
citement of the ball games and also
the summer. He asked them to
forget the pa.-it and look into the
futuie.
