mn nun CUSTODIQNS , Mr. Sanders has been the custodian of the nvondale School for more than 20 years. It was in 1919 when he first camo to Avondale a familia from Texas as Custodian of the school, Mr. Sanders, r ficure in Avondale for so many years has earned him- self a place in the hearts of Avondnlc's people. No Greater tribute can we hive him than this: He has friends on every side and none have ought but Q food word to speak for him. It was he who kept the school warm in the winter time, clean, painted and repaired it when it became worn. For a person to become a truly mood custodian he must qual- ify as a WJack of all Trndes.n Mr. Sanders has done this and more. He is an expert painter and school buildinms need a great deal of painting to keep them up. Few of us will be able to look back on 21 years of such conscientious service. Those who have relied on his work eagerly credit him with being the best Janitor that anyone would want. lQ'watch a school vrow and rrow from sn enrollment of about lOO to its present 185 and be trip- pled in size to accomodate these and more to come must be like the relization of a dream. It was with many regrets that we saw Mr. Sanders forced to give up the heavier of his duties because of his advsncinmame Lawrence Sanders returned from Washington where he had been working to take these duties over... Durinc the short time that Lawrence was hereg he earned the respect and friendship of all the student body. He showed a keen interest in athletics of all kinds especially basketball. This sport had an ardent fan in him. Although this was not the best year for the team, Lawrence did his bit to keep up the spirits and moral of the team. He was an amiabl What to live b not acqui friend. Duri of Lawren Ralph has efficient Ralph has alike and ycflro UGve to him of badness, e conversationallst and was well liked by all.
