A peacdnl atmosphere pervades the place as Overseers, concerned with the growth and improvement of the ranch, guide the Top-Hands in their duties.

Nlfhen, after several years of teaching, he became principal, his new Work forced him to give up some of his classes. lle is now limited tothe teaching of Physics. Mr. Evans received his degree from Marietta College in lXlarietta, Ohio. lle has also attended several other schools, among which are Muskingum College and the University of Pitts- burgh, Mr. Evans was formerly an in- structor in the Parkersburg, XVest Virginia High School before he came to Avalon. lrlis success in his Work here is due to his understanding na- ture which wins the students to him and invites their confidence.

Grove City College Good citizenship was the key-note of Miss ,lackson's classes this year. Each pupil was made to realize his responsibilities to his country, and the privileges that were his because he was born in the United States. Miss jackson endeavored to do this through an exten- sive research of the constitution. Nr. XYeichel, in his classes in Ancient, Medieval, and Modern llistory, stressed the importance of the laying of a strong foundation it there is to be growth and development later. This principle is applicable to all things, nations as well as people. Under Miss XVright's instruction, the pupils in sev- enth and eighth grade history found that the past is definitely linked with the present. This link is the stepping stone to the future. lYith this idea, history becomes a vital and living force which makes itself felt in our everyday lite. Miss lflafii, Mr. Perley's capable and competent sec- retary, broadened her held of work this year. ln addi- tion to her numerous secretarial duties. which de- manded much of her time, she conducted an educa- tional research in the elementary school. This was done by giving standardized tests and correlating them. i 1 l 10 SLIQLLA LIff'II.I4I CARDEN, All. CVEIQSEEIQS 'fm linelishland Commercial l,illlYl:'l'Nlfj' of liicfllmolid JCVA HOOVER, B.S. University of Pittsburgh Ulleauty is art, art heautyf, Miss Carden, in her junior and senior lfnglish classes sought to inspire the students to nolaler and more gracious living through the study of literature. She encouraged the reading of the work of novelists, essayists, and hiographers. Many an enjoyalile period was spent reading and inter- preting poetry. Miss Hoover desired that her junior high school pupils form two habits. 'llhe first of these was to like to read. Dy Various clever illustrations she managed to assist her students to differentiate between the good and had reading. She also wished each one to lnecome word conscious so that good usage would he carried over into everyday life. ln the bookkeeping, commercial law, and salesman- ship classes, Mr. Mawhinney emphasized better buy- manship rather than salesmanship. This new slant in the course created a great amount of interest, Many interesting projects were carried out along this line. A junior or senior in high school needs to become conscious of the qualities that will determine his suc- cess after he leaves school. In her typewriting and shorthand classes, Miss Brenneman endeavored to de- velop initiative and forethought in her pupils. They were taught how to judge an acceptable piece of work, and to respect the point of View of another person. DelJilrtrllQl1tS KC I 1 y Q 4 7,3 :- J. Il. AIAXVIIINNICY. ILS., ICtl.NI.

Allegheny Collegre ln the advanced mathematics classes, Mr. Xiertac- nik inserted many catching questions which demanded much more attention and more involved thinking. The pupils were ever on the alert to solve the problems, and to point out the weak places in the questions. Miss Price emphasized the importance of mathema- tics in the modern social system. The beauty of athematical calculations and the practical applica- tion to other fields was incorporated into the junior high school mathematics courses. Practical mathe- matics presented many interesting problems for the seventh and eighth grades to solve. Much time was given to the improvement of pos- ture and development of individual skill by llr, Nc- Clurg in his physical education classes. Moreover, he stressed the importance of acquiring' an appreciation for beneficial use of leisure time. ln the hygiene class, Nr. hlcClurg impressed upon the boys the importance of obedience to the laws of health governing the body. Likewise, in the girls' physical education classes. liliss Stern dwelt upon the ideal of good sportsman- ship. She emphasized the importance of being able to cooperate with one's fellows. lfach girl ivas made to realize that the building' up of a strong, healthy body in youth is the best assurance of a long, happy life. 12 F. H. FLOYD, A.B. University of Pittsburgh MARION T. JONES, ILS. I'nive1'sity ol' Pittsbnrgli azv-'HJ - The industrial arts department, under the direction of Mr. Floyd, continued the Work begun last year. Ability to judge good lumber, paint, designs, and hn- ishes was stressed. Mr. Floyd was rewarded by an increased interest in architectural drawing. Some very good house plans were developed by those in the department. ln the clothing classes, Miss Jones directed the at- tention of the girls in the study of design and color to aid in the selection ot materials and patterns for be- coming garments. An intensive study of the nutritive value of foods in preparing balanced menus was a project in the foods classes, Miss Jones also taught the correct preparation and service of a meal. Other than the general content of the geography course, there are other relations to be considered. Realizing this, Miss Austin, during the year, sought to show that people the world over have many things in common, and that each nation is dependent upon the others for many of its daily needs. Mrs. Roedell divided her time equally between art and music, In the teaching of music Mrs. Roedell tried to develop an appreciation for the standard clas- sics and folk lore. Emphasis was laid on part singing. In art her desire was to have her pupils acquire more accurate skill in lettering.

SNVIFT, All. University of l'ittsbn1'gh The idea that Miss Hamill wished to convey in the library is best expressed by the following quotation of May Lamberton Becker's: Books may make win- dows .... You look not only into them but through them, sometimes for a long way. Sometimes they open on a vista of centuries past, and sometimes into the haze of the futureg and some look straight into your neighbor's backyardfl The juniors and seniors had a wonderful time wan- dering about with Vergil while they studied the Aneid. Miss Swiftfs emphasis in Yergil was on the development of each individuals philosophy of life. Of course, case endings were in order for the begin- ning Latin students. Caesar's deeds were read and discussed by the sophomores. They were amazed to End how closely Latin and English are related. Miss Plympton, in her French classes, brought about the appreciation of the beauty of that aged lan- guage through a study of the people and their cus- toms. The reading of delightful stories in French con- stituted many interesting class periods. The lives of heroes and heroines of France were part of the work of the more advanced students. Foreign language was very popular this year. The department had one of the largest enrollments in its history. 14 f'II,XliLlCS A.

The students of chemistry were delighted when they found the close relations of chemistry to daily happenings. Mr. Scheib attempted to develop in each individual the sense of personal responsibility in all things. The biology classes, under Miss Diclcson's instruc- tion, made an intensive study of the life development of the plant and animal world. Wfith this as a ground- work, she attempted to build up and encourage a matter-of-fact attitude toward all the life processes. Man, and his relation to other things, was constantly held before each pupil. The hoped for result was that each individual would become more aware of the in- terdependence of all things. Mr. Evans, in his physics classes, aside from the de- sirable mastery of certain principles of science, at- tempted to develop in the students an attitude of mind which is resourceful, practical, and capable of clear, straight thinking. He maintained that confidence, born of success in the classroom, should help the pupil in the logical solution of the more complex problems bound to arise in the future. .lANl'Ifl I'I'1 M.

PLYMPTON Class Sponsor CIUSS Sponsor T D- HANDS four Years Un the Danch Around the crackling camp-fire are gath- ered the Top-llands. Farewells must be said, yet each is reluctant to say his good- bye to the ranch and the companions who were loyal friends and jolly comrades for four happy years. Each Top-lfland, fasci- nated by the flickering hre, sees in its em- bers and flames fragments of the past, which recall the days spent on Avalon Ranch. The Hames leap higher, shadowing the neighboring hills. As the shadows take form, there emerges the image of a colt-a good animal, but with much training ahead of him. Laughingly the Top-Hands discuss the good times had in their freshman year. In memory, one can hardly tell where one year ended and another began, but as the Top-Hands see the colt grow into a year- ling their minds turn to their sophomore year. So eager were they to show their fine qualities that they selected Robert Frazier as their leader. Norman Auth was vice- president, Mary Hunter, secretary, and Clarence Eckert, treasurer. They will al- ways remember the colorful party which climaxed their year as yearlings. The maverick, an animal of a frolicsome nature, craves excitementg so, in prepara- tion for such a year, the class, as juniors, elected Norman Auth as president, with Robert Rogers as vice-president, Catherine Falck, secretary, and Betty Philips, treas- urer. The autumnal spirit was cleverly rep- resented in the annual Junior Entertain- ment, the Fall Frolicg The l11lP0?'fUl1t'C of B0- ing Ernest was the play presented by the class on May 17, and the Arabian Nights l'rom was a never-to-be-forgcmtten evening of fun and excitement. The shadows steal closer as the fire-light dims, and the glowing coals reflect the events of their senior year. XYith such a prominent president as james Reilly, llar- old Christy as the capable vice-president, James lllatt, the competent secretary, and Bradley Squires, the trustworthy treasurer, the class was assured of an eventful year, In the fall, the class play, Omar Tlzcrv lfVz1.v ,I Prizvccss, was presented. The production was a new and very pleasing type. Klany skilled athletes displayed their talent in the events of the l936 Rodeo. The darkening shadows slowly merge the campfire group into the surrounding dark- ness. Muttled goodbyes are heard, but they are conhdent that, although they leave with regret, their new duties will be assumed and executed with the same perseverance that made them worthy Top-Hands on Avalon Ranch.

A more versatile athlete could not be found. Bill was a winner in all he attempted. His creed was good sportsmanship. Laughing, merry, black eyesg a captivating smile, a quick toss of curly, dark locks--that's Dot, the class's prettiest girl. Dark hair, dark eyes, debonair, tall, good-looking-all these are Dick-the most handsome boy in the Senior class. Margaret, best student in the class, has always been consistent in her school work. A good record was her goal, and she reached it. Frank possesses all the necessary qualities for success: sound judgment, thoughtfulness, thorough training, and a radiant, convincing personality. Annual Literary Editor, G. R. Music Chairman, Leaders' Club President, par- ticipation in Student Council and athletics gave Sara Jane the title of most versatile irl. g Robby was Hi-Y President, Prom Chairman, Sophomore Class President, and a Varsity Basketballer-easily the most versatile boy. 36 -1 T I3-HANDS FESTIVA Arabian Atmosnhere Creates Colorful Dromenade An oriental atmosphere prevailed in the High School gymnasium on the evening of May 31, 1935, as the class of 1936 entertained the class of 1935 at the annual Junior-Senior Promenade. lts success was properly attributed to Norman Auth, the class president, and to Robert Frazier, prom chairman, under whose general management the various committees functioned. The theme of the 1935 Annual, that of Mickey Mouse, was effectively carried out. With Hazel Stoick as the chairman, the decoration committee effected a great change in the gymnasium, making it appear as a huge, striped, Arabian tent. Hugh strips of blue and green paper alternately suspended from high wires created the typical tent of the Arab. lmmense, oblong lanterns produced a soft, weird light. A graceful entrance to an Eastern mosque, with its fountain and elaborate carving, formed a retreat for the chaperones and guests. A few of the class artists, aided by sponsors, painted the large cartoon which formed a back drop for the orchestra. The drop was a splendid replica of Mickey Mouse. There he sat on his Magic Carpet, surveying the dancers as they glided over the floor. The leafy ferns and graceful palms which bordered the orchestra platform swayed to and fro as if in accompaniment to the soothing music, An awninged recess in one corner of the gymnasium formed the refresh- ment booth, where cooling beverage was served. A perfect evening, the intriguing decorations, and the smart musice all contributed to the gaiety and revelry which made the Prom surpass all anticipations. And when the last haunting melody stole away in the soft summer air, the happy couples wearily, yet reluctantly, departed. 37 MAVEIQICKS gart. Boder. Miller, R. Gassner. ineyer. D.

Three years of strict training have altered the animal from a long-legged, awkward colt to a well-bred, gentle horse-a noble animal, well-trained in obedience and docilityg a comrade to his master. The Juniors possess the qualities of the mavericks. After three years of high school life, they have become a well-rounded, organized body, skilled in various activities, dependable and reliable. lt is they who must fill the place vacated by the present Top-Hands. It is they who will train and cultivate the wild animals into domestic ones. In this eventful year of their high school career, the Juniors elected Clyde Wetzel as their leader, which position he filled very well. As his assistants they chose Alda Jane Ross, secretary, and Richard Miller, treasurer. Robert Sweitzer was elected the vice-president. The class presented the Valentine jubilee as their first social affair of the year. This was, perhaps, one of the most successful junior Entertainments ever given by a Junior Class. Gay red hearts were strung about in the true valentine spirit. With bows taut and arrows poised, numerous Dan Cupids contentedly observed the scene from their high perches on the banking boards and searched the throng for possible victims. 38 i First How: D.

Needless to say, this presentation was very well staged and enthusiastically received by the public. The Junior Prom was a very unusual, yet clever one. The theme of the 1936 Annual, that of life on Avalon Ranch, was carried out in every detail to make a very successful Prom. Paul Nurnberger was the very capable Prom chairman. The Junior Class merited all the praise which was forthcoming concerning this event. The class of l937 was very proud of its representation in sports. There were two boys who were outstanding in football. We are expecting great things of those boys who will return as Seniors to form the nucleus of next year's team. Still more were varsity basketball stars. The second team was composed almost entirely of Junior boys. The girls also displayed their ability in such sports as hockey, basketball, mush- ball, and volleyball. After such a highly creditable junior year, we predict a busy future for the class as Seniors next year. 39 EAIQLI IES First Row: L. Miller, R. Foster, Wilson I fhiistian I Roos M. Toomey, R.

DICKSON, Class Sponsor Sonhomore Dound-Un A marked change has taken place in the animal which, for one year, has led his life in captivity. From the rangy, wild colt has emerged the partially trained yearling. Although he does not as yet possess all the qualities necessary for a thor- oughly trained horse, he is at least halter-broken and bridle-wise. Most important perhaps, is the fact that he has become subservient and obedient to his masters. The Sophomores have made a name for themselves by their cooperation and Willingness to take responsibilities. They are worthy of being called yearlings. Their first ye-ar on the ranch was well spent. The class was very proud that one of its members was chosen for the varsity basketball squad. Several of the boys of the class proved themselves to be up-and- coming football stars with promising futures. Skilled in all sports, active, dependable, and likeablefthese are all charac- teristics of the Sophomore girls. They were remarkable in sports, displaying not only brilliancy in playing the game, but also a feeling for good sportsmanship and fair play. Being versatile and having versatile interests, they entered eagerly into the spirit of Girl Reserves and participated in all other activities. 40 EAIQLINGS First Row: I. Krome, R. Lanahan, M.

The sophomore party was, of course, one of the colorful affairs of the year. Girls and boys in their best bib and tuclcer, all set for an evening of fun and frolic, free from the disturbing gaze of the upperclassmen, Flocked to the gym for the one great party that was theirs, and theirs alone. Fun and frolic reigned supreme over the gay sophomores and they reveled tar into the night. Dancing, games, and refreshments provided a good time for all and made the party an acknowledged success. With such a beginning, the sophomores are certain to be an outstanding and talented class. 41 CDLTS gomery. F. Sirianne. Auth, F. Peufield, E. Knauff, J. Davis, B. Knauff, M. Finley. Fourth Row: C.

EVA HOOVER Glass Sponsor freshman B Branding Over in one part of the corral are gathered the young colts. Driving them in from a summer on the plains was the first duty of the Top-Hands. Then came the branding, for each colt must be marked with the sign of the ranch. Playful and full of pep, it is good to watch this group about the corral. Look! There goes one of those frisky, young colts again. They have more spirit than any group Avalon High School has known for sometime. They are always going some place and doing something worthwhile. Yes, they get to school on time, too. ln fact, the 9A,s had sixteen pupils neither tardy nor absent for the first six months this year. The 9B's won two No-Tardy Campaigns which entitled them to two free periods. These colts, headed by their leaders, George Hughes, George Betcher, and Billy Lee, were noted for their good grades, outstanding literary ability, and their talent in dramatics and sports. Wilma jean Beal, Esther jane Hunter, and Amy Lampenheld brought honor to their class by winning first, second, and third prizes in the Book Week Contest sponsored by the Avalon Woman's Club. l r ' I 1-1 l 1 1 1 l n -u r-nu 1:11 nn- :nal I n-'Y I 1 ir 7 I 42 f - First Razr: N.

And he certainly had a fine program of dancing, singing, piano playing, and acrobatics. Miss Hoover's room, the 9C's displayed their dramatic talents when they gave a novel little play, Rescued by Storm. Mr. Wertacnik's room helped with this program. lt certainly was a fine performance, and those who saw it enjoyed a pleasant hour's entertainment. Sports were very popular with the ninth grade. An unusual honor was be- stowed upon the class when Donald Palm was selected to fill a position as guard on the varsity football team. He won his letter, too! Bill Oakley and john Slasor played on the second team. This was fine representation on the varsity team. Intra- Mural sports found the ninth grade the victors. They won the championship only by hard and fair playing. The girls were outstanding in sports. They played interclass basketball and volleyball. Fair play and good sportsmanship were outstanding qualities of the ninth grade girls in all their games. 43 LAMIBS 5 lf'.'1'.vf .lfoirz E. Stitt, .E. Campbell, I. M. Stokes, L.

By March these lambs had won two No-Tardy campaigns. They probably made a New Year's Resolution about making no-tardy marks, too. Talking about New Year's Resolutions, Mrs. Roedell's room had the New Year's Program for as- sembly, and do you know what they did? They had groups act out each resolu- tion. The SB Class gave an exciting play called The Girls of Glenn VVillow for their assembly program. .Sf 1 7- A contest was held by the eighth grade to bring in Student Council dues more quickly. This proved to be a great help, as the eighth grade was the tirst class to have their dues paid in full. When Book Vlfeek prizes were awarded, this group rated four. Gladys Nichols, Evelyn Metz, Margaret Kerr and Robert Ryan were the prize win- ners. Yes, these lambs proved themselves an asset to the high school. The eighth grade made known its presence in our building in many ways. Early in the year it was discovered that their literary ability could be used very well by the Travalonette. They have many future sportsmen in their group too. -14 Streeter, M, Oakley, B. McPherson, D. Christy, C. Gassner, l l DE LAMIBS First Row: D. liaib, B. Houston, O. Combs, E. Bornnian, S. G. Cowl, L.

These little lambs were frightened and ill at ease when they saw our large grounds and the many other lambs, colts, and horses, but it did not take them long to settle into their new home. Three wise, little lambs were selected to lead the flock over fences and through green fields: Harry Young, Rodney Beal, and lean McGary. To start the social year out right, Alice Hanna held a Hallovvelen Party in her home for the whole flock. Assembly programs were held by the three divisions, and, from all reports, the 'flisterbrook Nieces was quite a good performance. At least, june Frye and James Worlcman did their best. When the book week prizes were given out, Alexander Hooker, 7B lamb, Won first prize. These seventh graders certainly have literary ability. Their articles in the Travalonette certainly showed that they could Write, too. Here's luck and best wishes to all you lambs, and may you finish as you have T started-with high ambitions. 1 1 l 1 1 1 i 1 1 1 45 UVEIQ THE HILLS is The Lookout Across the Sane l3rush As we withdraw from the presence of the Overseers and Top-Hands, loud shouts and sounds of stamping hoofs and plodding feet are carried to our ears by the warm afternoon breeze. Wondering what the excitement can be, we approach a broad window, through which can be seen the vast expanse of arid plains and rolling hills. The shouts seem to come from the corral, so we direct our attention toward it. There the sight of a happy, carefree group of men and boys, sunburned, gaunt, and tall, meets our eyes. Tauntingly they dare their fellows to ride the bucking bronco or try the wild steer. The successful ones are rewarded with cries of Bravo But the one who is thrown must bear the mocking and derisive laughs of his buddies. There are good times on the ranch after hours. Entranced by the splendor and gaiety of the Rodeo, we leave the ranch house and proceed toward the corral where excitement and fun await us. We take our place among the plainsmen and watch the events as they pass in review. 1 -. 141 l 3 - I 1 l 46 l 6000 TIMES AFTER HOUIQS we V.

Dramatic Club Studies Costumes A light, lilovving, Grecian gown, the soft taffetas and silk of the colonial period, bustles, capes, old-fashioned evening gowns, and E- nally the modern attire characterized the Costume Pageant exhibited by the Dramatic Club. Many of the gowns were heirlooms and dated back to grandmothers and great-grandmothefs days. ln place of the sponsor showing the students how to apply make- up, the students turned their hands to the art of make-up for the beneht of the rest ofthe group. lrietty Philips made up Jimmy Mercer as an old man, Maxine Beal resembled a true Japanese girl when Hazel Stoick had completed her make-up demonstration. Mary jane Cowl and Frank Niggel gave interesting reports after they attended the Pittsburgh Drama League Convention. An instruc- tive program on the technique of acting was given by Martha Cor- coran and Kathleen Aland. All the young dramatists listened spellbound, and laughed hilari- ously in turn, as Mrs, NVilliam Milligan read the haunting works of well-known authors. Of all the stunts performed on stunt day, the one acclaimed by the club to be the best was that of three senior boys: Wallace Grubbs, Clarence Eckert, and Frank Burns. A clever imitation of a reducing agency was enacted. Each member contributed his bit to the program in some form or other, by giving readings, songs, riddles, and plays. Charles Briigel should be congratulated on the fine portrayal of the young lad in The First Dress Suit, a production so popular that it was given three times: in assembly, at Parent-Teachers Association Meeting, and at the Lion's Club.

Tn September, the first meeting of the year was held. The matter of election for the presidency was a serious one, worthy of much consideration. However, the members used their sagacity by choosing Norman Auth as their leader. The other officers were likewise carefully selected. james Reilly won the honor of the Vice- Presidency, Sara Jane Kennedy that of Secretary, and Clarence Eckert was elected as the Treasurer. So, with the reliable advice of the sponsors, Miss Jackson and Mr. Evans, the Council was well started on its way through a trying, yet successful year. Many were the problems which confronted the Council. But each one was carefully weighed, discussed, and amended with great precision by this representa- tive group. These questions were chieiiy concerned with the improvement and general welfare of the student body. Every student, important or otherwise, was indirectly represented in his interests by either his home room or his club repre- sentative. The Council's first action was to appoint some of its members to aid in the distribution of the megaphones for the annual Avalon-Bellevue football game. The depletion of the Athletic Associations funds, and the need for new football uniforms, necessitated steps to be taken by the Council toward a money-making scheme. These problems were definitely overcome by the presentation of a Foot- ball Dance. Very appropriately, the dance was held on November l5, the evening of the great Avalon-Bellevue game. The student body cooperated with the Council, and spiritedly and whole-heartedly supported the affair. The organization was very anxious that acknowledgment be made to the local boy's orchestra, whose gen- erosity in the donation of their services was an act worthy of praise. 50 A f 1 60011 Til116S After Hours t 2 I ki , f I i XBIGAIL TACKSON CHARLES A. EVANS Spousm Sponsor Stage Border Liehts a Council Droieot Next, as a result of action taken by Council, the trophy case, bearing many tarnished awards and cups, was thoroughly cleaned, and its contents brightly pol- ished. The football awarded to Avalon as the winners of the 1934-1935 Bellevue- Avalon football tilt was decorated and inserted in the case. One of the Council members, who was skilled in manual training displayed his ability by making a splendid glass-enclosed case for the book so recently completed, the History of Avalon High School. From its funds, the Student Council paid for tables for use on the stage. This welcome gift was also made in the high school wood shop. Near the close of the year, investigations were made concerning two things undertaken in past years, but which had not been successfully completed. One of the preceding Student Councils had purchased border lights for a more ctlicient lighting system on the stageg but because of wiring hindrances, they discontinued this project. This year the Student Council, with some outside help, succeeded in making use of the lights. A bulletin board was also resurrected. lt, too, had been the presentation of :1 former Student Council group but had never been put to its intended use. Inquiries were made about it to see if it could' not, in some way, be employed for the purpose of advertising high school functions. Favorable comments displayed the student body's whole-hearted approval of the assembly programs which were planned for the year by james Reilly. lt was his duty to plan good, wholesome entertainment which would be welcomed by the students. He especially urged the introduction of more student talent, which is abundant among the assembly goers of Avalon High School. He was well re- warded for his fine efforts by the abounding praise of both teachers and pupils. As has been the custom for three years, the Student Councils of both Sewick- ley and Avalon High Schools exchanged assembly programs. This year several Avalon students presented f'Not Quite Such A Goose, in Sewickley Highg and in turn Avalon was entertained by Phipps, a clever comedy given by a group of Sewicklians. 51 Good Times After Hours .1-57 Eff -4-Q 4 .4 as 7 t We X Z? fc ie 1 - , of x I c . 4, 5 QNX ..

Annual Staff Chooses Danoh as Setting Come to the meeting tomorrow with an idea for a theme for the new fill- 1mal! With just those words Betty Philips, early in june, 1935, assumed her duties as the new editor-in-chief of the Annual staff. The next day the vote of the staff was unanimous in favor of a western setting. lt was decided that the readers be the visitors at Avalon Ranch. The faculty and school-board, together with the Seniors, as the Top-hands, would act as the Overseers, carefully guiding the young animals, the underclassmen. The various activities would pass in review as excit- ing events of a rodeo. With zeal and enthusiasm, the new staff looked forward to the editing of the 1936 Avalon Annual. Betty, you'd better take the dummy home again tonight, spoke Miss Brenne- man, the Annual sponsor, for it was the editor-in-chief's job to build up the dummy, sign the various contracts for the hook, and spend many hours editing copy and proof-reading. T prefer this picture of a bucking colt. This was a typical remark of the staff artists. Allan Aitken and Hazel Stoick were the Senior artists, with Paul Nurnberger, and Elma Morris, assistants. l l -ui ---i 52 BETTY PHILIPS E'Cl1:t01'-i7L-Clllfif ,qbub ,Z ,L,,L! 3 X ,L.L!

Each was given an assignment to test his ability, and each staff member was chosen according to his ability to perform each duty. The newly appointed staff, chose Hazel Stoick as the editor-in-chief, and Helen lane Taggart the associate editor. At regular intervals some staff member was assailed by the edi- tor's own inimitable query: ls your article finished? And when Hazel received the usual negative reply, in a very commanding tone she would say, Remember, tomorrow is the 'deadlinelf' Every time that a Senior had a date with an underclassman he'd try his best to keep it quiet, for Dick Daugherty, the Spilt-inker was always willing to give someone a boost in his scandal column. lYhat's your club been doing lately?'7 or lYhat's new about someone in school?', were the favorite questions of Grace Moul and Jean Fox, the club news and personal reporters. Other school news was solicited by staff members. The literary work was submitted by John Craig, Alice McGuire and Mary Jane Aland. Margaret Hooker wrote the headlines. Special columns were written by llert McCandless, Mary ,lane Cowl, and Louise Cunningham. James Reilly very capably wrote the sports columns. Norman Auth, Esther Seitz, Betty Dils, and their assistants handled the business end of the Tmzfalou. 54 First 15010: U. Stump, P. Artlnn's, R. Clark, Y. Nichols, F. Serrano, L. Nash, A. Liebold, M.

Tl'ilViIl0I1BttQ Dublishes Back D396 Strolling into Room 29 after school on any Thursday, one might be greeted by a scene like this: a large group of busy pupils working industriously over their Trclzualmllcllc are busy writing and rewriting headlines, llurriedly they clip away at the printer's galley, and set up the dummy which will materialize into their junior high school paper. Under the sponsorship of Bliss lloover, and the leadership of the editor, Esther llunter, the hardworking young stall' members re- corded the events of the junior lligh School on the back page of the Tmfvalow. 'llhey displayed their literary ability by describing their assembly programs, relating the activities of the different clubs and Student Council, and recording the results of the football and baskete ball games played by the miget teams. Not to be outdone by the TVGUGl071,,S clever l'Spilt lnkl' column, these young news writers edited a fair amount of copy with their own bits of gossip and framefups. Each year in the junior high school, a llook llleelc Contest is sponsored by the Avalon lYoman's Club. This year, just before the Christmas holidays, the Trcz7JaI0m'tte entertained the Avalon lYoman's Club at a Christmas program in assembly. A clever little play, appro- priate to the festive season, The Nine lYho lYere Xlotherf' was enacted by a group of students. Later, during the program, the llook NVeek prizes were awarded to several junior high students for their outstanding work. lt wasn't all work for writers of the Trczwcllwzaifv. They had many good times together while they were making up the paper, but long to be remembered was the staff picnic which came at the end of the year. Good Times After I-lours tra?

Girl Deserves Dreanize Interest Broun Perchance, if you happened to wander into the Girl Reserve club room, you may have heard such phrases as Knit two, purl twof' or Now put some life into your character! Remember you're supposed to be a little girl. Interest groups were introduced into the club this year for the lirst time. Qt the four hobbies: crocheting, the study of etiquette, the art of knitting, and the mastering of dramatics, the latter two were found to be the most popular. Eileen Sweeny, Jean Fox, Grace Moul and Mary 'lane Cowl directed the activities of these groups. At the annual Christmas Party, two charming and hilarious plays were presented by the drama group. Aunt Emmy, Miss Hamill in disguise, surprised everyone with her antics. The dolls which the Girl Reserves dressed for the community houses were displayed and judged for the most attractive. This coveted award went to Gretta Brink, a Senior. Two literary awards were presented to the club by Mary lane Cowl and Helen Jane Taggart. These two girls, along with others, entered their literary articles in a contest sponsored by the Y.XV.C.A. The question for discussion was, XVhat Does Girl Reserves Mean to Me? Although hundreds of Pittsburgh District Girl Reserves entered the contest, second and third places were captured by our two representatives, first place was awarded to Louisa Gabbert of East Liberty. The winning essays were read at banquets and teas held by the Central Y, To the soothing lilt of smooth music, the Girl Reserves, each with her best boy friend, danced away the evening of April 24. This is usually a yearly affair and one that is looked forward to with delight and interest. 56 I ,Q . v -sv X , is 9 . Q' iv First 110111: XV, 1:PfCllE?1', H. Tagg1111't, C, Falck, Tl. Ibils, B.

Sewing was just o11e of the many activities of the Social Service Con1n1ittee. Not to be forgotten for 21 long tin1e are tl1e good times everyone had when she brought her lunch-supper to the club room. Cocoa and cake were often served by the Kitchen Committee. Qverheard one da was such a conversation: Oh what a nice scra 1- . Y . , Y 1 book! Where did you get 1t? ' One night at Girl Reserves everyone who so wished made scrap- books for her friends. There were three suggestive outlines from which the girls could fashion their books. The most popular was the life outline which was: childhood, school life, college, romance, and old age. I'n1 tickled to death about mine. An assembly program in the form of a full-hedged n1instrel show, including the interlocutor, four end men, a colorful chorus, and special added attractions was given March 10. The tables were turned when the Girl Reserves e11tertai11ed the Hi-Y fellows, because the fellows had to add their share to the enter- tainment. Impromptu as it was on their part, the Hi-Yians went ahead and presented group singing to the club. After the Christmas Alumni Program, the graduates fou11d their Way to the library where tea and dainty cakes were served.

The Hi-Yians, sponsored by Mr. bl. M. Mont- gomery, affectionately known as Monty, had a full schedule for the year of 1935-36. f'Date Night was truly a wonderful night. The fellows invited their favorite of the fair sex for an enjoyable evening from start to finish. Faculty Nightl' found all the teachers there. You can bet the boys brushed up on their table etiquette. Reverend Tejan of the Trin- ity Lutheran Church was the speaker for the evening. All of the meetings were started with a dinner. The fellows' mothers contributed their culinary skill to make the meals thoroughly digestible. After dinner, at the regular meetings, NMonty gave the boys long to be remembered talks on some of life's perplexing problems. The proceeds derived from a bake sale, to which goods were do- nated by the mothers, were used to send two boys to a Hi-Y con- ference at Berea, Kentucky. The Y.M.C.A. membership was given an extra push by the Hi-Yians. The members also collected foodstuffs for Christmas baskets which were distributed among the needy. The traditional Mother and Sonu and Father and Son Ban- quets were great successes. The former was a very impressive meet- ing at which Pan Davis spoke. Mixed singing provided the rest of the entertainment for the evening. At the banquet for the fathers. Alfalfa Joe and his trick dog, Queen, provided the evenings enter- tainment. Queen, an exceptionally intelligent dog, danced, barked out arithmetic problems of all kinds, and spelled her name. After this performance, Alfalfa Joe and his wonder dog started out to tour the country to provide enjoyment for others. 58 l Down: A. Moreland, C. Falek, R. Hirsch, H. J. Taggart, L. Dietels, C.

Leaders Club Learns Art of Defereeine A whistle sounded shrilly. Stepsl The other side out. Thatls rightf' The speaker of this command was a Leaders Club member refereeing a basketball game. During the past year, Leaders Club gave more attention to the art oi' relereeing. This practice enabled the girls to become better informed as to the rules of the various sports, and it also quickened their sense of alertness. This was by no means the sole activity of the club. XYho could have forgotten the first invigorating plunge into the pool at the nati- torium. Top-hands, mavericks, yearlings-all were represented at the swimming party held by the Leaders Club. Hliifteen cents, stag, twenty-five cents, couplef' Thus read the notice on the bulletin board, announcing another Gym llop. Three different days during the year, after school, students could be seen making their way' to the gym where they enjoyed themselves dancing and chatting from four to six o'clock. Quch! How high is that board, anyway? XYith similar question- ings and exclamations, the colts were initiated into the club. Each year a number of girls who are interested in sports are given the opportunity to join the group, after each has fulfilled the require- ments set forth in the clubis constitution. Although many of the athletes had never bowled before, high scores were prevalent at the bowling party held at Jones' Bowling Alley. A sports finale, with the mothers as guests of honor, concluded the year's activities. Letters and numerals were awarded to those girls who had competed in the various sports, and who had earned the required number of points. 1 Good Times After Hours wx A ff' nw GYLA B.

The Choral Club stirred our emotions in an entirely new way, when, as a basis for its program of entertainment for the assembly, these singers brought to us the echoes of other countrys' songsters in a group of fascinating folk songs. lYe were carried into Scotland,s heights, France's vineyards, Spain's romantic castles, and we glided through the quiet water of Venetian canals, and into the stillness of Russia's vastness through the lyrics presented by members ofthe Glee Club, sponsored by Mrs. Roedell, and guided by the leadership of Mary llunter. A group of voices from our club received an outstanding honor through the invitation to join with other schools in a mass musical festival given in the Syria Mosque, May 9. There, mingled with the voices from a thousand throats ot the most accomplished singers from other towns in the county, were representatives from the Avalon High School Student Body. The Blue and Gold Chorus and members of the orchestra assembled for the hrst time that such a presentation has ever been given, in a musical production under the supervision of the state director of music, Mr. Claude Rosenberry of Harrisburg. The assemblage was lead through the diversified program by various musical leaders who directed the band and orchestra, band-orchestra, and choir, in a glorious accumulation of outstanding talent. Proudly our representatives brought glory to our Alma Mater, and we as a student body, found ourselves at a loss for words of appreciation for the fine display of talent represented by them. 60 Left to Right: D.

This is XYednesday night, that means or- chestra practice. livery XVednesday evening, and on special occasions several times a week, the archestra members brought their various instruments and practiced whole-heartedly from four to six o'clock. Nearly all of this year's members belonged to the organization last year, but they learned to play new and Varied selections. ln former years, it was the custom to use a simplified opus of a composer, this year, the original works were used. At first the music may have seemed rather difficult to attempt, but after one got into the swing of it, nothing seemed too hard. The content of the year's work ranged to all sorts of composi- tions. Militaristic marches, classical and semi-classical selections, and popular renditions were practiced until perfect. The orchestra this year was not as large as usual, but was better balanced than formerly. Graduation last year took a large number of musicians, and various other activities held some of the students in sway. Pleasantly enough, although some instruments were lacking, this did not hinder the enthusiasm to get together and work together to make the orchestra an asset to our school. This year, orchestra members who had attended regularly for two years were awarded emblems in the shape of a lyre in blue with a gold A emblazoned on it. They were worn with great pride by the recipients. Commencement, Class Night, .lunior and Senior Plays found the orchestra in the pit rendering its melodies to everyone.

Youth and Curtain Club Heads Une-Act Dlays 'fWill the meeting please come to order? Catherine Falck, the leader of these youthful dramatists rapped for order. lYe want to get clown to business and show the assembly we are able to give a good programfl And a good program they did give. In fact, this little club gave two. The hrst of these contained two little skits, the other, a one act play entitled The Ghost ot Deepdenef' The enact- ment ot this story took place at a girls' boarding school. Complica- tions arose and were solved, wherein the girls retained their beloved teacher. The Magnificent Obsession, i'The Littlest Rebelf and The Tale of Two Cities were themes for study for the Youth and Curtain Club. Those who attended the theaters brought back reviews of the pictures which they had seen, and those who did not have the chance to see the movies contributed bits to the reports about which the girls read in magazines. Thus, the whole club became acquainted with a great many of the famous productions. Let's have a party, just for tunf, was the plea ot some of the members. This delightful idea was dubbed a Thanksgiving Party be- cause of its occurrence about that date. Stunts, skits, jokes, music and refreshments, contributed to the success of the attair. Naturally, being a dramatic club, make-up was an important meeting topic. Proper make-up was shown according to the role portrayed by a person.

Commercial Club Visits Utilities firms 'Number, pleaseg number, please. lrlave you ever wondered just what went on in a telephone company? Members of the Commercial were fortunate in being able to visit the liell Telephone Com- 4 Club pany. The club was shown through the entire plantg the girls saw the operators working on both the local and foreign switch boards. lt was interesting to note that no matter how close one stood to an operator, one could not hear the operator's voice. The girls were greatly intrigued by the teletype machine. Although Commercial Club is a business organization, it took time off from its usual procedure to sing carols at Christmas time. After tramping through the snow and cold, the carolers adjourned to the home of Esther Seitz, where a steaming hot sauerkraut dinner awaited them. On a nipping October day, the Commercialites hiked to the home of Esther Hunt. After they arrived there, a huge bon-Ere was built, over which the girls toasted weiners and marshmallows. The rest of the evening was spent sitting around the fire and singing. Money for Amina! pictures! Now where shall we get that? This is a very important question to every clubg but this year the problem was easily solved for the Commercial Club. Since the Parent-Teachers Association was featuring an Amateur Night, the president of the club, Gretta Brink, had the novel idea to hurry around to the manager of the adair and obtain permission to sell candy. All the club mem- bers cooperated in bringing in home-made sweets which were quickly sold. Speakers and other important programs completed the club's activities for the year. i Good Times After Hours ,im ,J A. KATHRYN V. BRENNEMAN Sponsor 63 Good Times After Hours A x ji . ROBERT C.

A'I'm on a scavanger hunt for Science Club, and I have to get this list of items within an hour. The future scientists, under the able leadership of Frank Niggel, had a unique program in the form of a scavenger hunt. Any product along the scientihc line was the object of the search. A limited time and definite list of articles were given to the fellows. There is no need to say that everyone had fun. Among the various places visited by the club, the Standard Sani- tary Supply Company proved most beguiling, The latest devices in bathroom and kitchen fixtures, which are produced there, were shown to the members. The huge vats of molten iron, the molding of the iron into pig-sf' the preparation of by-products from coal-these, likewise, held a fasci- nation for the scientists on their visit to the Homestead Steel llill. The club also went through the National Tube Company on one of their trips during the year. In order to keep up to date with scientific discoveries and proce- dures, reports and discussions were prevalent at the meetings. Of course, those who had an inquisitive streak were permitted to make experiments in the laboratory. Since some reality trips were almost impossible, imaginary trips were taken to centers of rock drilling and power transmission plants by means of pictures. These were shown through the courtesy of the United States Bureau ot Mines. A little genii showed the student body through the Portland Cement Company, on the date ot the club's assembly program, by means of a motion picture. ------ -----.::.-.1 64 First How: NE. Black, H.

Craft Guild Exhibits Student Handoraft An orchid to Crafts! For a comparatively new organization, this group of pupils, whose creative instincts prompt a desire for something different, are to be congratulated. At the studio of the club, which is to be found in the grade school building, members were busy all year plan- ning, shaping, cutting, and finishing their work. Among the linished creations were: copper bon-bon dishes, crocheted purses of all kinds. woven belts, wooden dog pins, pottery, and book-ends. Each article was designed and fashioned by the future craftsman, himself. These were shown at a Farewell Exhibit at the studio. One piece of workmanship, done by Lois Hoffman and acclaiming much comment, was an attractive, hand-woven purse in two shades of green, decorated with tiny rosebuds. Bert Mcffandless fashioned a belt in black and white string. Furnishings for the little studio were donated by the club members at a special tea given by Miss Swift in her own studio. Anything that was useful in the way of stools, work tables, or other equipment was gladly received. At the Pittsburgh Sculpture Exhibit, the center of interest to those who attended was quite surprising. The ever-famous head of the Trojan horse, done in marble by the sculptress, Margaret Grier Brink, stood ace high in the opinion of all. In order to increase their knowledge of art. these enthusiastic crafts lovers visited the celebrated International Art Exhibit and our own Pittsburgh Associated Art Exhibit. Crafts Club proved itself a new and different attraction for awak- ening sleeping talents in its members, and Miss Swift's amazing versaf tality lent encouragement to the eager craftsmen.

Leaning gracefully on the arm of lXIillertown's promising young attorney, Milton D'Arcy, she represented to all the townfolk assembled there the true European aristocrat. Little did they realize that she was just a poor little princess whose fortune had been helplessly ruined by a reckless, spendthrift husband. They did not recognize her as the quiet little sewing lady who had helped, a few days before, to prepare for the visiting royalty. Only L'ncle Joe Boyd, her lifelong friend, and Phil Lennox, her first sweetheart, who had remained faithful through the long years of her absence, discov- ered Ellen's identity, the Princes Dellatorre. After they had heard the discouraging story of Ellen's unhappy marriage to the late Italian prince and had listened as she described her plans for .the reception, Uncle Joe and Phil were quite willing to help. And it was with their aid that she was able to give each small town person the thrill of his life time. Her radiant personality out- shone all her other graces and hnery.

Snlendid Derformanoe Given by Cast Leading a double life always gets one into great difficulties as ,lack XVorthing learned. liecause he was a young man, he naturally craved excitement and pleasure and enjoyed a rather hilarious life in London. However, when he retired to his country home, he assumed an older and more serious air. His chief responsibility in life was caring for his ward, a beautiful young lady of eighteen years, named Cecily Cardew. .lack did not wish Cecily to know of his London escapades, so he manufactured a brother whom he named Ernest. This brother, supposedly, was very reckless and extravagant. llut in spite of all these stories, and though she had never seen Ernest, Cecily was conscious of an increasing fondness for the youth. Much rather would she day-dream of him than study her various lessons as her governess, Miss Prism, insisted. Algernon Moncrietf, jack's friend, also had invented a friend, Bunbury, as an excuse to quit the city when he pleased. His aunt, the aristocratic Lady Bracknell, tinally became suspicious of his frequent departures. It was her daughter, Gwendoline, with whom .lack was in love. Very many embarrassing complications set in when Gwendoline and Cecily met and discovered their affairs. Gwendoline knew Jack as Ernest, while Cecily believed Algy to be jacks brother, Ernestg so, when each of the girls vowed her love for Ernest, words flew thick and fast. After Iack's puzzling past was solved and the love affairs finally straightened out, Lady Bracknell bestowed her sincere bless- ings on the two happy couples. Good Times After Hours X.

This honor was awarded the Avalon High School History edited by Edna Clementson, Mary Michaely, Hazel Stoick, Virginia Robertson, Ruth Rudolf, and Jean Fox under the direction of Miss Carden, Mrs. Roedell, and Miss Brenneman. The contest was sponsored by The Scholastic and by Royal Type- writer Company in celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of secondary schools in America. The Scholastif made the first elimination. Out of several hundred books, forty were sent to the Royal Typewriter Company for the final judging. E. D. Grizzell, professor of education at the University of Penn- sylvania, was chairman of the committee of the jury which included Pro- fessor D. H. Eikenberry and his assistant of the Department of Education of Ohio State University. Avalonls prize-winning book is seven by nine inches and contains 250 pages printed on linweave old ivory, deckle edge paper. Most unusual is the hand printing, the numerous illustrations, and the silhouettes suggest- ing the contents of each chapter. One of its cleverest features, perhaps, is the colored pictorial map of Avalon. Little Rock QArkansasj High School and Saginaw QMichiganj High School, both situated in cities of more than 80,000 population, tied for first place. Because' of this decision, no second award was made. However, Avalon placed third. Each of the girls who worked on the book received as a reward a beautiful gold wrist-watch. And so may we express the feeling of every Avalon citizen by saying, Well done! WC,1'6 proud of you. 70 Left to Right: J. Camby, L. Klicker, W. Grubbs, C. Eckert, Miss Plylnpton, G. Farmerie Stage Crew Assists Behind Scenes Yo! ho! We are the fellows who pull and push, scrub and clean, fix and arrange for all the plays and things. This might well have been the refrain of the stage managers. Part of their job was to push and lug furni- ture, transport scenery from the grade school to the high school audi- torium, pull the curtains up and down, and they also had a good time along with the hard work. George Farmerie, George Knauff, and john Camby were apprenticed to Wallace Grubbs, Clarence Eckert, and Lewis Kliclqer, seniors. The upper classmen trained the junior stage hands so that they would be able to do their work more efficiently when they are seniors. These proteges learned the routine of the ropes and pulleys, and they studied the lighting effects and switchboard control. These fellows were on hand at all school events. Thursday, third period, found the stage crew hard at work arranging court room scenes and camp sites for the lower classinen, while Tuesday found the boys deeply intent on producing the right effect with lights, drops, and furniture for an interior scene. At the time of the Senior Play, VVally Grubbs scrubbed the stage and the others saw to it that the rugs were vacuum cleaned and the furniture was brushed in order, so that the feminine stars would not soil their lovely gowns. You see, these fellows aimed to please. They willingly lent their hands and time to the Avalon XVoman's Club, 'KFriend and Neighbor Night. P. T. A. activities also found the boys behind the scenes, manipulating the ropes. Good Times After Hours M fu sh .4 . 1 1 I 71 Good Times After Hours DOROTHY M. First Row: E. Dripps, G. Betcher.

Junior High Student Council is Governing Body The junior High School Student Council is the governing body of the junior High School. The nine report rooms are represented by their presi- dents, while the clubs elect their Council representatives. These boys and girls, along with their sponsor, Miss Wright, meet once a week to discuss problems concerning the Junior High. They arrange Tuesday and Thurs- day assembly programs, and consider suggestions that will improve the Junior High. At the beginning of the year a campaign for elections was held. A week before the elections, the boys and girls were seen wearing odd shaped cards saying Vote for George Hughes for President, or Florence Bogadek, Treasurerf, Then the candidates each gave a speech in assembly. The following were elected as officers for the Student Council: President, George Hughes, Vice-President, Ellen Dripps, Secretary, Mary Jane Fisher, and Treasurer, Florence Bogadek. Of course, the first Assembly program was sponsored by the Student C, uncil. They presented a Stunt Day. Each room gave a stunt. The s nts consisted of dances, songs, and skits. - ,lil This year, Student Council ran a No-Tardy campaign the whole year. At the end of each month, every room's tardy marks were checked, and the room with no tardy marks was given, as a reward, one free period the first Friday of the following month. One very important duty of this organization was to send Howers or fruit to the sick pupils. The Council also sent books to the Suburban General Hospital. All these many, many duties of the junior High Student Council were performed Well. They certainly deserved all the credit coming to them. 1 72 S11 ., I S if s- ', ' ff H36 . I-.

They varied their meetings by giving debates, dialogues, and pantomimes, and by reviewing plays and movies. Every third meeting was in charge of Miss Price, the sponsor. She gave help- ful advice to these young Thespians. Along with the other Dramatic Club, they gave a play, NAI- most Everymanf, for assembly. OUTDOOR CLUB One of the most interesting meetings of the Outdoor Club was a treasure hunt for flowers. The members of the club were divided into groups, and each group was to ind certain flowers. Then they pressed and mounted these specimens. At their meetings they learned to identify birds and plants. They also told inter- esting bird and animal stories. SEVENTH GRADE TRAVEL CLUB The seventh grade Travel Club worked on a number of interesting projects. But a travel club program wouldnlt be complete without some trips. The members enjoyed their journeys to the Conservatory, Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh Press, Gulf Building, a broadcasting station and the Braun's Bakery. Travel Club was fun this year. SCIENCE CLUB Because so many boys were interested in Science Club, Mr. Floyd decided to divide the group into two sections. Donald Burland, presi- dent of one group, planned some very interesting programs. The club members enjoyed working out experiments and then discussing them later. An added interest, and one that the boys liked very much, was two field trips. A visit to the Heinz plant is always interesting. The club also had the opportunity to visit Braun's Bakery. JUNIOR HIGH GIRL RESERVES The junior High Girl Reserves began the year's work by holding the beautiful Recognition Service. Next, they held a Hallowe'en Party. At Christmas time the girls filled stockings for chil- dren attending a day nursery. A hobby program, a talents program, and a day for making scrapbooks were interesting programs at regular meetings. A Dues Campaign ended in a party for the winning team. Dues did come in quickly! 73 Good Times I, A After Hours ii 3,E::e t- I 9 2 4,4 . oo Mr. MISS AITSTEN M.II'lGARIflT KERII MR.

They studied about the development of the air- plane, the growth of railroads in the United States, and the lumber industry. They also studied the sports and customs of different countries. The club visited the Bell Telephone Company, Pittsburgh Press, a broadcasting station, Gulf Building, and Western Union. This was one of Travel Club's most successful years. SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE DRAMATIC CLUB Dramatic Club, too, was divided because of such a large enrollment. Smaller groups were bet- ter, because everyone had an opportunity to par- ticipate in club activities. The members gave plays, and discussed the best movies and plays of the year. They attended one of the best movies of last year, Lewis Carrolts immortal classic Alice in Wonderland. They spent a delightful period discussing it after they returned. They also took part in the play the entire club gave for assembly, Almost Everyman. SCIENCE CLUB Louis Lucan's division of the Science Club took two very interesting trips during the year. The trip to Reick's Dairy was especially interesting. The members saw that science is very closely re- lated to every-day life. They also enjoyed their trip through the plant of the Pittsburgh Press. During club meetings, the members performed experiments, discussed these experiments. and reported on other subjects of scientific interest. Assembly was delighted with Science Club's pro- gram-a motion picture made by Chevrolet Com- pany. HQBBY CLUB A new and interesting club in the Junior High Schoolhthis year was the Hobby Club. Under the supervision of its President, Lois Cooper, the club members made scrapbooks of their hobbies, or of poems, ilowers, talking pictures, and the Hood. Near the close of the school year, the Hobbv Club had dinner in town, and went to a show. Their last big social event was a combined picnic with the members of the T1'rrz'aI011vffc Staff.

Everyone is excited when one of the cowboys, luckier than the others, by petting, pleading, and spurring, manages to bring his bewildered and frenzied bronco around the half-mile track and under the wire to receive the first honors. On Avalon Ranch, the teams are under the eagle eyes of the coaches, Mr. Wertacnilq, Mr. Weichel, Miss Stern and Mr. McClurg, from the be- ginning of the season to the end. Mr. Wertacnilc as head football coach was ably assisted by Mr, Vlfeichel and Mr. McClurg. Witli these coaches, the football team was lead to a successful year. Miss Stern has successfully completed her second year in Avalon as the girls, athletic instructor. She introduced an interesting intramural sports program. Miss Stern also was the sponsor of Leaders' Club. Mr. Weichel, a newly added member to the faculty, coached the battling line of the football team. He took over the coaching of the reserve basketball team, and trained them so successfully that Avalon is sure to have a winning varsity team for next year. Mr. McClurg, a former Avalon graduate, coached the varsity basket- ball team and, under his skilled training, the basketball squad carried the Blue and Gold to thrilling victories. Through class instruction he sponsored intramural sports for the boys. IQOIIQD J. J. WERTACNIK Football Coach kv' in-af J. C. WIC1CIfII4ZL G. B. STICRN W. E.

The noise-makers were headed by Dick Daugherty, who, despite his sophistication, proved himself worthy of being a cheerleader by his show- manship and originality. Peanuts, Hotchkiss, the second of this fun-cracking crew was the most alert of the three. He was quick to lead the shouts of the grandstands in unison. Both he and Dick led their last cheers in the Bellevue basket- ball upset. The liveliest, jolliest, and the most typical mirth-maker was Dale Vogel, who remains as head cheerleader for next year. The pep, enthusiasm, and vim displayed by this lively trio of noise- makers in the Bellevue and Ben Avon games were favorable examples of their cheering abilities. SSAQ' Ticket Committee Finances Dodeo NAU Tickets must be paid up-to-date by Friday in order to go to the game. Illl be around this afternoon to collect. This was a familiar an- nouncement heard in report rooms every Friday morning before a game. The An Ticket Staff was sponsored by Mr. I. B. Mawhinney, who was the overseer in balancing the ranch's athletic budget. The financial committee saw that the play-days on Avalon Ranch were for profit as well as pleasure. Louise Heyl and Eleanor Murray are the veteran HAH Ticket mem- bers. They were assisted by Marion Frey, Mary Wachter, and Helen jane Taggart. 78 Avalon Closes Most Successful Season Early last spring an announcment was placed on the bulletin board which read as follows: Those who plan to come out for football next year report for spring practice In The response to this announcement was encouraging to Mr. Wertacnilq, for in this group was to be developed one of Avalonls best teams. For several weeks in the spring the squad limped about with sore muscles, aching backs, bruises, and cuts. The end of the school year brought a temporary halt in practice. While many were still enjoying their late-summer vacations, the boys began their fall work-out. This year the team was organized to the fullest extent with three coaches directing: Mr. Wertacnik, the head coach, Mr. McClurg, back- field coach, and Mr. Weicliel, line coach. Under their guidance the team developed into one of the best Avalon has ever had. The boys carried the Blue and Gold through a season of four wins, two losses, and two ties. Half the number of quarters played were required to win a letter. Twelve members of the squad won these coveted awards. The fortunate ones were: jim Blatt, Bill Chain, Jim Chain, Jim Goodwin, Keith Hope, Allen Nichols, Paul Nurnberger, Dave Seitz, Bill Tesla, and Clyde Wetzel. The reserves showed themselves excellent material to fill the vacancies left by graduation. Dodeo J. J. WERTACNIK Football Coach Q fl Aleu ,, Lx First Row: J. Laib, T. Waldron, J. Slasor, B.

The touch- down came early in the first quarter when Fred Krome, the tall blonde guard, crashed through the line, and blocked a Zelienople punt. Bill Chain picked up the ball and carried it over for the touchdown. The extra point by Nichols was good. ln the second half Zelienople- prevented a possible Avalon score. Coraopolis and Avalon Tie One of the most exciting games of the season was played with Coraopolis on September 27, and ended in a O-O score, HPunk Rogers was the spark plug on two furious goal line stands which prevented a possible Coraopolis score. Tn the second half, our boys out-fought and out-played a much heavier Coraopolis team and came near scoring. Ben Avon and Shaler Bow to Avalon Ben Avon was defeated by Avalon's powerful machine to the tune of 27-O. on October 4. The fighting Ben Avon boys prevented Avalonls scoring until near the end of the first half when Nichols went over for a score. He chalked up two more touchdowns in the second half. After long drives down the field, Blatt, the dependable signal man, took the ball over for the fourth touchdown. The Blue and Gold overthrew Shaler, 6-U, on a muddy held, October ll. Tn the midst of a heavy downpour, Avalon made her only touchdown early in the first quarter. On the ten-yard line Nichols took the ball over for the touchdown. The only other threat came when 'tllutchu Nurnberger, always ready to make extra yardage, broke away for a 25-yard gain. Avalon Defeated by Dormont The home team met its first defeat when Dorniont downed the locals. 6-0. on October 17. The 'fBulldoO's', scored earl Y in the first uarter. Bill Tesla's su erb . as 3 fl 1 . P punting held the Bulldogs, at bay, and prevented their further scoring. 80 H0060 ti. Wetzel, K. Hope, W. Tesla, D. Palm, W. Chain, A. Nichols. Avalon Triumphs Uver Sewickley The Avalon boys clashed with the Sewickley eleven on October 25, bringing victory again with a 7-0 score. Dave Seitz, who played the tinest game of end that many an Avalonite has seen, went over for the touchdown after catching a long' pass. Al Nichols! line plunge was good for the extra point. Both teams battled for three scoreless periods with Sewickley conceding Avalon the edge. Aspinwall Defeats Avalon 4Xvalon's hope for the championship was dashed to the ground in the Aspin- wall game when the locals were defeated by a 26-O score on November l. The baffling attack and defense which the Aspinwall players displayed was good reason for their unscored season. At the half, the score was 19-Og but in the second half, the visitors scored but once, making the final score, 26-O. Avalon and Old Rival Tie The Avalon-Bellevue game came to a surprise ending' with the score 6-6 on November 15. Both teams scored in the first quarter. Nichols broke loose on his own 23-yard line, but he was nailed just short of midfield. The Avalonians traveled the remaining distance to put Nurnberger over for the touchdown. The second half saw both teams fighting equally hard with neither team able to score. Other members of the football team, who played less spectacular positions, and should have recognition are: Keith Hope, center, who showed good defensive ability. Clyde W'etzel and lim Chain, endsg .lim Goodwin, tackle, and Donald Palm, guard, underclassmen members of the team, composed a promising nucleus for next yearls team. ll. ll 81 llodeo W. E.

Praise must be given those boys who came through the season with a good record in spite of the demoraliz- ing effect induced by losing all over-time period games. Let us look at the high-lights of the season! After playing a three over-time period game, Avalon brought the Edgewood boys into our camp and gave them a good trouncing. The Leetsdale boys doubled the score on Avalon at Leetsdale, but Avalon returned the compliment by handing them a crushing defeat. The bright light of the basketball schedule proved to be the Bellevue game in which the reserves took the most disastrous defeat in the annals of the high school. Then, the varsity came on the floor and displayed the poorest brand of basketball until the second half. With the Bellevue team leading by some eight points, McClurg's boys turned on the steam and pulled four points ahead. There were only two minutes to play, and the Bellevue team pulled within one point of Avalon's score. just when Avalon appeared to be growing weak, Frank Niggel ran out on the floor as a signal that the game was over. Avalon had won! This was the first time that Avalon had defeated Bellevue on the Bellevue floor since Mr. McClurg, the coach, played on the team in 1923-13 years. The superb basketball ability displayed by Blatt and Nichols gave Avalon recognition on the first and second All-Section Teams. y 1 l l 1 - I 1 1 82 Deserves Trained for Varsity The Reserve Team was made up of inexperienced basketeers who were coached in the finer points of varsity basketball by Mr. Weichel. This team did not lack spirit, for many times their opponents had had more experience and were older boysg but whether they won or lost, they were always good sports. One of the best games of the season was played at Edgewood where they ploughed their hosts under by a ll-2 score. The Reserve Team showed a promising varsity team for the next few yearsg one that the school may be proud to support. VARSITY BASKETBALL SCORES EDU813 J W.T'.T.A.L. A.H.S. Qpp. Ian. Sewickley 24 Jan.

Cool, calm, collected, jim Blatt, captain of the team, was the brains behind the outfit. His competent playing was a great factor in our having a successful season. A streak tearing down the floor-a basket! Nick,!' the spirit and fire behind the team, had contributed two more needed points! A scramble under the basket! Suddenly, a shot at the bank- ing-board and-swish, another basket! Tesla made it! Another one of his quick, short shots. Come on, General! Let's go! Bob Lee was the high point man of the season. Bill Croneiixveth, because of his persistence, came through marvelously at the end of the season. Boy! Look at that shot! Carmichael, in spite of an injured knee, could be depended on in time of need. And here comes Wetzel! A junior whose quick judgment and skill rivaled that of the more experienced players. Tall, agile, alert Bob Frazier proved himself to be a very dependable relief man. Keith Hope, the fiery center on the football team, helped the squad carry on its difficult schedule. Red'! Kelly, because he possessed natural ability, became one of the most efficient reserves. 4- ei , ?'

Goal !', the intra-mural hockey season got under way in the early fall. As hockey is one of the favorite sports of the girls, many turned out to support the team which would represent their classy but because of the lack of equipment, only senior high was able to play. For the first few weeks of the season, individual class instruction was held either in the gym or on the hockey field behind the school. After each practice, 'gg during which the hockey enthusiasts were put through rigid tests, there were 1 numerous cutsq Miss Stern finally chose teams that she thought would be worthy - i representatives of each class for the teams. fa As the games progressed the rivalry among the teams became greater, for the sophomores had an unusually good team. Although they lacked experience they missed the chance for championship only by losing their last game to the seniors. The seniors had the advantage over the other teams for they had more ex- perience, were a stronger team, and had been organized for three years. The Junior team lacked strong, dependable players, and because of this they lost all their games during the season.

Volleyball is the in-between-season game. Al- though it is becoming more popular as the girls learn to play it, it has yet to offer competition for basketball and hockey. Both junior and senior high schools participated in this sport, and first and second teams were organized in each class by Miss Stern. In this way more girls were given the chance to take part in the activity. The interest displayed by the members of the teams in learning the rules and the method of playing the game should be good reason that volleyball will become a sport for keen competition next year. Q The sophomores, who were usually the most inexperienced of the three upper classes, gave the seniors a set-back when they emerged as victors by winning all their games. The juniors had a poor standing in volleyball, for, when the season ended, they were the trailers.

VVho has my sweat shirt ? f'Going out for forward, Brink? And the girl's basketball season was begun. Esther Seitz, Alice Moreland, and Elizabeth Black, the class managers, arranged the game scheduled. Keeping records of games played, attend- ance at practice, and deciding the validity tor otherwiseb of excuses, kept these girls busy. After the captains were elected and the teams chosen, the season really was under way, Capable captains were elected this year: Dot Schallack was chosen by the sophomoresg Betty Dils was junior captaing and Grace Hirsch did the honors for the senior team. Not only were intra-mural games played this year, but the girls also played teams from the neighbor- ing borough high schools. Ben Avon and Beaver Falls teams gave the home girls some stiff competition. And the game with the teachers was great fun. The surprise of the season came when the up-and-coming sophomores upset the seniors in a hard-fought game. Playing was made easier this year by the enforcement of a new rule. When dribbling, the player's steps were not limited as long as the ball bounced only once. The seniors played well and deserved championship.
