MR. .I. H. NAIL Many students of Abilene High School are aware of the activities of our busy assistant principal, however, many of us do not know some of the facts of his earlier life. Mr. Nail was born at Eden, Texas, in Concho County. He received his early education in the Eden Public Schools. After graduation he attended Howard Payne College, the University of Chicago, and the University of Texas. He received a B. A. degree from Howard Payne and a M. A. degree from the University of Texas. Mr. Nail has been in public school work for twenty-five years. He has been a member of the Abilene High School faculty for ten years. He finds Abilene High School an ideal school where faculty and students alike are friendly, industrious, and happy. He thinks it is a school with a rich background and a very fine spirit. We think that Mr. Nail has done much toward making our school an ideal school. He has given generously of his spirit and energy in working for a better school system. 15 QGM lsf.o.1.A. I gs QT.

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

He stated that he hoped all graduates would reap their rewards as they were merited. 16 Que NPR wx !UOQ.Q.Xf f ,983 AAR-.QKQ i gQ.
