Seven New Teachers Have More
Than First Names In Common
If Mary’s little lamb should
come to Albemarle High School,

Miller Knox, Mary Helen Ross, or
Mary Ellen Hege? Well, let’s look
' that,

very much. As for movie stars,
she goes for Myrna Loy, Clark
Gable, and Bette Davis. As a
hobby she is beginning a collection
of phonograph records.
Now for Mary Helen Ross, a
graduate from Woman’s College in
Greensboro. She is teaching an

readings as hobbies. “All right’’
is her pet word.
