Some of her favorites are little

America” is her top song.
Mrs. Lynn says, “Teaching is a
wonderful occupation when you
have such nice people to work
with.”

Roosevelt For President Is Students
Choice, According To Full Moon Poll
* . , *. iv>or> 'Mrtymftllv T wniilrl he
Luther Elected
Class President
Officers of the Senior class elect
ed last Thursday in the first senior
class meeting this year were:
Fritz Luther, president; Pete
Clark, vice president; Jeanne
Palmer, secretary; and Jane Mor
ton, treasurer.
Mr. McFadyen announced that
Miss Kirby will be the Senior class
sponsor this year since Mrs. Jen
nings, sponsor in previous years,
is no longer teaching here.
Another point discussed was the
ordering and measuring for Senior
ri ngs.
Roosevelt would be elected by a
large majority for a fourth term if
it were left up to the students of
A. H. S., according to a poll taken
by the Full Moon and sponsored by
the Scholastic Magazine.
The poll revealed that 112 stu
dents were for Roosevelt, 59 boys
and 53 girls. Dewey did get a few
votes, though; 33 boys and 15 girls
were tired of Roosevelt. Ten were
undecided about whom they would
vote for.
Of the 170 students taking the
poll, 49 boys and 38 girls were in
favor of boys from 17-23_ having
one year compulsory training, not
necessarily military, after the ww.
But 58 boys and 18 girls thought
that the training should be strictly
military. Ninety were undecided
about the matter.
A few' statements of personal
opinion were collected concerning
the poll. . ■ 1 1
Concerning the presidential elec
tion Bill Morton said, “The present
Administration has been incom
petent in solving domestic affairs
in this country. It took a WorU
War to get 10 million people jobs
who w'ere unemployed prior to the
war. The New Deal cannot rightly
blame isolationists for unprepared
ness, because when Dewey cal ed
for a two-ocean navy in 1940, the
President called him just plain
dumb’. Another reason is we don t
want the government to control all
business.
According to Jim Lamar “Roose
velt is the lesser of two evils. Any-
ole who listened to Dewey’s speech
wouldn’t vote for him because he a
just slinging mud, with no basis for
his arguments. Dewey habn t or
dered a thing any better than is m
there now.”
Rubv Hatley expresses herself
this way, “Well, I’d vote for Roose
velt becau.se in time of war i
don’t think you should put in a
new man. Normally I would be
opposed to his running for even a
third term.”
Also raised was the question,
“Should a boy be given a whole
year of compulsory military train
ing?” . ,
“World peace is safe,” voiced
Johnie Gaskin, “only when the
means of making war are in the
hands of those who hate war. If
the United States has to be respon
sible for the peace, we must be
ready for anv emergency.”
Peggy Mann is against the idea
as one can clearly see from her
statements: “Pm not in favor of
one year’s compulsory military
training after the war, because
that would be a step toward dic
tatorship. Look what has happen
ed to Germany. They started prac
tically the same way.”
So from this poll you can get
a rou^h idea of some of the hi^h
school students’ opinions on some
of the nation’s political problems.
