Although many Hillers would hesitate to acknowledge the fact, San Diego High School has the kind of faculty they will like to remember as alumni. It is a faculty of various moods, and the students see them all: in classrooms, patient and serious, in club meetings, wise and helpful, in A W skits, scintillating and slap-happy. --4' June '42 graduates will remember principal John Aseltine, 3 - - N51 who became a doctor of education in June, 1941, for his fire- : X OCX I NC side manner in assembly, his friendly smile, and his ever- A ready helpful hand.

Nor will seniors forget the time when the teachers let down their collective hair at the Russ party in the spring of 1940 and portrayed typi- cal students. The next Russ party saw the faculty as Dogpatch charac- ters at Lil Abner's Wedding Day. Hit of the affair was Principal Asel- tine, who tipped a jug as Loathsome Polecat. The faculty skit to end them all came last spring when Wild Nell Bollo was hitched to Wild Bill Lyons while the other teachers looked on as Wild West stage props. Once though, when the faculty entertained, the students laughed and lost, 16-12. That was the teacher-senior A basketbrawl game last spring, dreamed up by history instructor Cleon Davies. Teachers led students in prepara- tion for War when all departments co- operated in the execution of a new emergency drill last spring, replacing the monthly fire drill.
