THE BUZZER 11 Our school building and equip- ment were not of the best, our teams were not always as success- ful as they might have been, but there was never any marked com- plaint. By a mistake that seemed to be anything but unintentional, we once lost a basketball game, but the school did not rise up in arms and rebel. The team, on the other hand, got down to work and strove harder than ever to even up their defeat. In every school activity the students were -back of it one hundred per cent. The spirit of the undergraduates was always one of co-operation and support. We are indeed proud of the spirit of the students and wish to publicly commend them. ATHLETICS ' . The growing interest in Athletics in the school is again manifested in the formation of bowling and track teams in the school. A bowling league was formed among the various classes and has just closed a successful, if not, beneficial season. This kind of league is a new thing in Avalon High School. Another team recently formed, and from which not much has yet been heard, is our new track team. These boys are working hard and wefwish them' success. They are entered in several meets in the near future that will call for the best that's in them. It willlrffean a great deal to our school should' our boys win out innanyof these meets. If hard work and training will help them, we are sure they will tri- utnph. We sincerely hope they'l1 come out with a good score to their credit.

I hitnriala THE SENIORS Again another group of young people in our borough have lived out the second epoch in their search for knowledge and twenty-six girls and boys of our community gradu- ate after completing their high school course of study. This is all that remains of a class of fifty-four that started on a quest of learning a short four years ago. Of the number that have fallen by the wayside, several are still in this school and some are graduating from other schools. By far the greater part of those who are no longer with us have dropped out of school-a fact for which we are indeed sorry. More than half of the number who entered High School with this class, however, are now leaving school, members of the same class. We doubt if an other class yet graduated from Avalon High School can boast of a similar honor. And what class has done more for the benefit of the school? Among our number we have bas- ketball, football and baseball men and girls on our teams. The Buzzer last year and this owes much of its success to the class of '20, Our Literary Societies, Ath- letic Association, Hi-Y Club, and all our school organizations are to a greater or lesser extent the work of the seniors. They have ever had the interest of the school at heart and always worked for its attain- ment. And the Seniors leave this school better, they hope, for their sojourn here and We trust that they them- selves have benefited by their time spent within the walls of Avalon High School. BOLSHEVISM This year has been literally crowded with all sorts of Bolshev- ism. We find it in the mill, in the store, in the office, and in fact, in every walk of life. And the school has not been entirely free from it, but we think that it has been held to a minimum.
