Bewildered, he looked about him to s e coming up the walk a boy and girl talking and laughing together. On a sudden impulse he put out his hand and halted them. Pardon me, he said, but colrld you show me where Miss Dickson's r om is? Certainly. We are 'ust going there, smilingly assented the c uple. As the three walkedl up the stairs the first boy introduced himself as a newcomer to Avalon High Schodl. He explained that he was a bit at sea about the way things were done in lAvalon and was more than a trifle w rried about the teachers. The girl loo ed at him as he admitted his fear and lexclaimed, You don't have to worry about the teachers CHARLES A. Evans, A.B., M.Ed c M H Physics Lbr y ll 13211 756 G00 WHO WATCH US STRIVE AND GROW in Avalon. They're all the best ever! If you don't believe her, the boy put in, we'11 prove it. We'll make it our personal business to see that you become acquainted with each member of the faculty. The door to Miss Dickson's biology lab was invitingly open and as the three entered they noticed hanging around the room colorful wall charts of bugs and flowers. Miss Dickson was seen at a table absorbed in the revelations of a microscope while several pupils were busily dissecting a frog. The boy said, This is also the physics lab. Mr. Evans teaches us the principle of levers, planes, light, electricity and radio. With him we explore the giant furnaces in the basement and the air conditioning system. He also is high school principal and guides our activities. They walked through an ad' joining door to the chemis nv room where Mr. Hall's Scie lub wasworkingoutsomee if ..-- ts.

The 7-acufty W RTACN ROIWRT E. SMITH, A.B., M.Ed MLl!lIE7Hdf1LA Mgfhgmgtfcs EVER READY TO ASSIST A in the catalog while she kept one ear cock' ed to what was going on in her busy club. Leaving the library the senior boy pulled a piece of paper from his pocket saying that he wanted to do this visiting systematically. The girl looked at him with a grave twinkle in her eye. Don't tell me you still retain those systematic habits Miss Price taught you in seventh grade math? Sure, her classes on graph work were so intriguing I never did forget them. Remember how afraid we were when she introduced us to algebra. Mr, Wertacnik, the football coach, soon killed those scares though. He took us through the ninth and tenth grade algebra and geometry courses so easily we didn't even realize we were ready for solid geometry until we were sitting in Mr. Smith's room looking at cubes, so ids, and spheres. Mr. Smith surely is busy with Student Council and the printing crew, but he Many hours of work go into these finished products. t fljlllf H. Stapel, Mr. Fischer, lvl. Zeman, R. Krah, A Krukles. never neglects his classes. They are always interesting and lively. Mr, Weichel is another teacher who combines practical knowledge with his history courses. The old boy asked the newcomer, Are you an extrovert or an introvert? The other looked surprised, I don't know. I never knew how to find out! ln Mr. Weichel's sociology classes he gives us tests that determine what we are. The whole course is interesting and full of fun. 'Tll never forget Miss Whieldon's course on American historyf' exclaimed the girl. We looked forward to each class for she always made the 'dry' topics take on a new sparkle. Her originality shows itself in the ANNUAL of which she is the adviser. Mr, Dean is another teacher who uses interesting methods to keep his European history classes from becoming as 'dead' as the men we studied.
