IOE C. HUMPHREY, B. A., M. A. Assistant Principal Active, wiry little loe Humphrey, capable assistant to our principal, is a tive-letter, triple-threat man. The letters? Three in high school tennis, one B. A., and one M. A. lncidentally, the last two were awarded in 1930 and 1931, respectively, which is about par on any course. For his alma mater he claims Southwestern University at Georgetown, with Southern Methodist stand- ing at one side as the admiring godparent and donor ot the master's degree. The three threats are tennis, civics, and eye-openers. Equally adept at each oi the three, he keeps his students in shrieks ot laughter or deadly serious, as his fancy dictates. An excellent teacher, he has been in Abilene High School since 1933, and although we hope to keep him here forever, there is an ever- present danger ot his leaping astride one of his magnificent sixteen-cylinder words and galumphing merrily oft into the unknown, to a tune sounding strangely like, ..,. of the people, by the people, for the people. -lames Buthod.
