. S. N. Ewn, JR. FOR THE DEFENSE 0F This January, after four and a half years of Navy life. we enthusiastically welcomed back our old friend. Dr. S. N. Ewan. Jr. l'lis face was familiar to everyone, for although dressed in a commanderis uniform he still had been able to take time from Naval operations to attend some school activities. His cheerful and friendly smile has a way of put- ting one at ease, and under his superior leadership we will strive for more cooperation and unity. Du. CARMON Ross The departure of Dr. Carmon Ross. as acting superintendent. was noted with regret, for Dr. Ross did outstanding work in guiding us through four years of war. ln addition, as organizer and first president of our Allied Youth Council, he brought the community and school still closer together. Dr. E. Carlton Abbott, our principal. worked faithfully under trying war conditions to keep our school at its pre-war standard. With such extra Du. E. CARLTUN ABBOTT ,FN 'Hs

TEACHERS OF THE 0113 FB D0 5 Accessible. cooperative. and up-to-date. thc mem- bers of the faculty solve any problem with equa- nimity. Although they are confronted with many difiicult situations. their humor remains intact and they give genuine understanding. Mr. Coronway in civics and ancient history. Mr. Snyder in modern and American history. Mr. Drake in American history. and Mr. Grillin in Wiorld Affairs-all help us to learn more about the world of yesterday and today. In teaching us to under- stand other nations. they are builders of unity among all. Languages also further our understanding of others. Miss Cook strives to build a foundation for all languages through Lating Miss Hoopes gives us the language of the 'gHague.', Frenchg Miss Loan and Miss Perkins lend the 'South American atmosphere by way of Spanish. The English language is. of course. the one all should be interested in mastering. Miss Perkins. Mrs. Lisk and Mr. Cershman give the freshmen their initial start in units and help them delve into grammar and composition. Miss Hartman goes still deeper into these rules of writing and heads Scrib- bleris lnk and freshman guide. The Handbook. Mrs. Christ, director of dramatics. and Mrs. Lisk are junior teachers of American Literatureg and Miss McCullough presents English Literature to the seniors. However, in January, Mr. Atkiss returned from the service to replace Mrs. Lisk. whom we were sorry to see leave. His welcome was short-lived though as he resigned in February to take up lndus- trial Relations Work. Fortunately. we secured Mr. Laubach who too had just returned from the service. Wie wish him the success his forerunners had. Mr. Freeman and Miss Adams give the freshmen their start in algebra. while Mrs. Morris carries on with the angles of Plane Geometry for the sopho- mores. Mr. Freeman then takes over to turn out the Finished Product in advanced algebra, solid geometry. and trigonometry. B Winn-H QRII-'FIN EDNYIN Syvum A. Toon Comwwwv llowmzn R.
