rr .41 ' ' V ' -'EITIITBIIIIK A semen ouxss HISTORY. . ' y. , , . ' h The senior class of 1940 began their struggle for knowledge in 1927, with three of the present seniors in the class. Their teacher was Mrs. Swartz. Those who started in this class were: Doris Ann Nesslage, Lorraine Blanchard, Emma Lou Roe, Camille Tuttoilmonde, and Clayton Hughes. As time passed on, they advanced until their graduation from the eighth grade in the year 1956. At the end of that year they lost one of the original members. Emma Lou Roe moved to Pueblo where she attended Gentennial High School. Then came our Lgreenh frcshmen.year. In this class six of the present seniors were Ethel Tezak entered from id recollection in their celved. At the first of welcomed into the class. Boone 0 enrolled. At the beginning of the year Banner. Most of them still have a viv- mlnds of the initiation which they rc- the second semester another student was She was Ruby Rathbun who entered from We worked, played, and fought together until in 1959, when Clayton Hughes moved to Walsenburg. That was the end of our Junior year. At the beginning of our senior year two new members entered the class. They were Ethel Germ who came from Vineland and Water Bufflngton who came from Kansas. This brought the enrol- lment to 9. Unfortunately, as most always, therewere more girls in the class than boys. But this didn't bother them and in the fall of 1959 they helped the Junior class put on the Junior play and on March 29, they presented a very successful senior class play with the help of a few Juniors, called the NPhantom Bells.n This class published the first annual in the Avondale High School and they sincerely hope that senior classes to come will continue to follow their footsteps. We spent two days in Pueblo getting ads for our annual, axd we received many from our own business establishments in Avondale. May we present to you our senior class of 1940? One of the first members of the cast who appears under the spotlight is Doris Ann Nesslage. Doris Ann was one of the stu- dents who started her first year of school here and has continu- ed on until she reached her last year of school. She has been very interested in her school work and in her last year she was a member of the glrl's basketball team. Doris Ann hopes to be able to enter some collere next fall, and we hope that her wish might be Granted. For her vocation, whe has chosen a stenogrsph- cr. We feel that in this field she will certainly be successful, because she can really make the typewriter fly. And we hear tum she is pretty good in shorthand, too. ' The next person we see under the spotlight is Laurence All- en. He, toe, has attended Avondale High School through all twe- lve years of school. Laurence was a member of the Junior high basketball team, which won first place in thg tournament in 1956. A on t . :las 2 - E e.. 2-I' - f-Ilia f ,jg '
