Mr. A. E. Wells Nineteen hundred fifty-four marks the end of Mr. Wells's third year as superintendent of the Abilene city schools. We are indeed fortunate to have a man at the head of our schools who is constantly seeking new and constructive ideas for im- proving our educational system. Mr. Wells was born in Springtown, Pucker County. He received his early education in the Fort Worth schools. After graduating from Polytechnic High School in 1927, he enrolled in Abilene Christian College where he received his B. A. degree four years later. He has a M. A. degree from Colorado State College of Education, Greeley, Colorado, and he has done more graduate work at the University of Texas. While a student, Mr. Wells was outstanding in both athletic and scholastic fields. As a school man, he has been a classroom teacher, coach, principal, and superintendent. He has also taught in the summer schools of a number of our Southwestern colleges. Mr. Wells believes that Abilene High School is not only the best high school in Texas, but also of all the Southwest. He believes this because of the splendid spirit manifested on the part of the student body toward work and all school activities, because of a faculty which is interested in the students, and because of the relationship that exists between the student, teacher, and home, that allows maximum results in educational attainments. 13 V f Il 9 I ,4 K Wkmffia. 01- Krs90 Jlwtf .Z'.79n'l' l6i39-5 -A3Qsf.'T ll rs amy. ,IN-...M-, l tA.fs 'YHTCQ T5 'U' 51.1413 gan .Ciba tg do 5 i 1 .tl 5: Lf Q Q G l:f.J'Jl 'L Tf5.Uc:,g ' s si.

DR. CHARLES ROMINE One of the busiest persons in Abilene High School is our principal, Dr. Charles Romine. However, he is never too busy to stop for a friendly chat or to discuss our most important problem. Not only is he interested in the students, but also in the students' activities in the school, as well. While discussing our school, Dr. Romine said, Naturally I am so interested in Abilene High and want it to be such a good school that I am completely sold on it- faculty and student body. Therefore, l want to help each doy make it a better school. Dr. Romine was born in Meridian, Texas. When he was eight, his family moved to Valley Mills, Texas, where he received his early education. After finishing his work at Clifton College, he entered North Texas State College where he received his B. S. degree in 1931, and his M. S. degree in 1941. This past summer he received his Ed. D. degree from Colorado State College of Education. Dr. Romine has been a classroom teacher, a coach, an athletic director, the director of a youth center, o Boy Scout Field Execu- tive, a director of curriculum and instruction, and a principal. He came to Abilene from Temple where he was the principal of Temple High School and dean of Temple Junior College. We are indeed fortunate to have Dr. Romine as principal of Abilene High School. 14
