Chapel Programs Enjoyed
Hooray for the new chapel programs
we’re having this year! Everybody is
co-operating to put the “homeroom” chap
eJ programs over and is having a swell
time doing it.
There will be a chapel program from
every homeroom in the school before the
school year is over, and if they end as
well as they began, there will be a great
many more good times in store for the
school.
So here’s to better and better chapel
programs as the year progresses!
Oh, Say Can You See
Halt!
Salute!
Owing to the thoughtfulness of the so
ciology classes, A. H. S', will soon get a
flag for the auditorium.
Sponsored by members of the classes,
a campaign to make money to buy the flag
has been staged throughout the high
school.
This act, which shows how patriotic the
students are, has received much favorable
comment.
“The Full Moon” wishes to express
its sympathy to the family of Max
Russell, who was killed in an automo
bile accident on November 2.
Max, an outstanding high school stu
dent, graduated from A. H. S. with the
clas sof ’38.

GIRLS’ IDEAL BOV SFUDENT IMPRESSIONS
Last month the boys gave the dope on
the girls. This month the tables are turn
ed. The girls are going to tell what they
think.
When asked about her “Ideal Bol,” Sy
bil Lowder replied, “I like ’em with black
hair, blue or green eyes. I like them
better if they have on a military uniform.”
Betty Ruth Roger’s choice was a short,
brown-haired boy that’s lots of fun. “I
like one that drives a Plymouth or Pon
tiac.”
When Miss Ross was asked, she said,
“I want one tall, dark and handsome. He
must like milk and not take me seriously.
He must like football, drive a car and be
a grand driver.”
Betty Jane Hatley’s answer was, “I
like ’em a little taller than I am, with
freckles and blond hair.”
Mabel Underwood said, “He should be
neat in appearance, look well enough, and
above all, be sincere!”
