Todd Perley, who for twenty years has been Supervising-Principal of AYALON Public Schools. Surrounded by his files, books, and papers, Mr. Perley directs the program of the entire school system. The ever jangling telephone, numerous conferences, and the handling of small details give a picture of the full and busy life of a school superintendent. His activities, however, are not confined to the school district here. He has served on numerous educational committees. He was president of the Supervising-Princip- als' Department of the Pennsylvania State Education Association, and president of the Xilestern Pennsylvania Convention District of the P. S. E. A for two years. In 1935 he was a member of the committee for the revision of the Elementary Curriculum, and a member of the national committee for Administration of Teacher Training: At the present time he is president of the North Boroughs Lions Club, which is the largest Lions Club in Pennsylvania. Through his efforts in this capacity, he has been able to provide fifty needy children with glasses. He is an enthusi- astic fisherman. Despite his heavy duties at school, he Board of Education MR.

Evans presides over the inner office at the front of the building. A friend and adviser to all high school students, he competently fills his duties as High School Principal. It is from this office that the delinquent receives his admit slips after absence or tardiness, and it is in his office that parents discuss a pupil's progress. Trans- scripts of credits, reports, and letters of reference find their source there. In his office much of the supervision and financing of extra-curricular activities is handled. He is surrounded by his files where each student in AVALON High School is classified as to scholarship, activities, and attendance. Very few students, at the end of four years, can say that they have not had many contacts with him for advice on their future plans, student problems, activities, and college requirements. He came to AvAl,oN as a teacher of general science and biology. Later he taught chemistry and physics. After a few years, he gave his chemistry classes to another teacher to take over the duties of Principal. His quiet, understanding nature have endear- ed him to all who have attended AVALON High School. is The Lookout CHARLES A.

An English and American poetry anthology was just one of the many projects that the juniors and seniors completed this year. Miss Hoover used special study guides for her literature classes. These guides made the classics easier to understand. Her objective was to develop in each pupil the art of thinking, and to increase their acquaintance with good literature. Miss Plympton found her new English books, Adventures in Appreciation, helped her cover more material in her tenth grade English classes. The boards in Room 19 were always covered with French sentences, for the pupils in Miss Plymp- ton's French classes concentrated on composition this year. The Latin teacher, Miss Swift wore a smile all year, because her new books made declensions, conjugations and parsing much easier for the Latin classes. f'Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, or such expressions as, Repondez en francais, s'il vous plait were familiar phrases to the students in the language department.

His purpose was to help each pupil make a wise choice of a life work, Personality, etiquette, and aptitude tests were used as a basis for establishing some data to be used in individual pupil conferences. Mr. Dean's European history classes fixed important events in mind through constructing cross-word puzzles. These students studied the complete history of Europe, from primitive man, to man of our own age. The ninth grade guidance classes made an interesting study of magazines under the direc- tion of their teacher, Miss Neuman. She en- deavored to acquaint the pupils with sources of material, and how to use that material to the best advantage. The girls in Miss VVright's history classes dressed a series of dolls to illus- trate the native costume of the people in many countries. Throughout the year, a procession of maps, charts, diagrams, and booklets outlined the walls of the seventh and eighth grade history room. This type of project stimulated a great deal of interest in early European and American history. Seventeen J. J.XVERTAcN1K,A.B. Dickinson College KATHRYN V. BRENIXh!xlAN, A.B. flll.

LONG after School was dismissed, the Sound of clicking typewriters could be heard in Miss Brenneman's room. This year, each Senior acted as secretary to one member of the faculty, and this work was done after school. In addition to perfect, accurate work, she stressed the importance of neatness of person, and pleasantness of personality. The new Consumer's Education course attracted many students. Mr. Mawhinney sought to teach each student to distinguish yalues, and learn the relation between the cost and market price of goods. Sales- manship, business organization, and accurate figuring prepared the salesmanship, commercial law, and bookkeeping classes for a business career. Arcs, compasses, equations, circles, factors, quantities, logarithms, and cones were expressions heard often in the math classes. Nr. Xliertacnik took the ninth grade through the be- wildering maze of beginning algebra with such ease that the students learned to look at high school math with respect rather than dread. Mr. Smith's solid geometry classes spent many enjoyable hours making their own solid figures. This visualization of forms made solid geometry very interesting and much easier.

The office where Miss Paff presides is the place where the intimate and individual problems of the school are straightened out. Forms, teachers' notices, and letters are handled easily by Mr. Perley's capable secretary. The library policy was changed this year. It was used only as a reference library, and not as a study hall. lVliss Hamill, the librarian, gave instructions in its use to all classes in school, and made its facilities available six hours a day. In chemistry more attention was given to new methods of balancing equations. lVlr. Hall taught the students to link the subject closely as possible to the industrial and household processes. At all times an assortment of test tubes, beakers, and Bunsen burners was scattered about the lab. The biology room was gaily decor- ated with new wall charts. Miss Dickson, biology instructor, used the projector this year to throw diagrams on the wall. The study of anatomy and dissecting constituted the major part of the work. Mr. Evans' physics classes went into great detail in the study of light, levers, radio, telephone, and planes. Field trips showed the relation between theory and practice, and emphasized the necessity of the working physical principles. On one field trip, the Diesel engine from beginning to end, was observed by physics class. is 2 1 ? CHARLES A. Evaxs, A.B. .llariella College of joiw lf.

Hood Collcgc .Y ln clcrf H The art of laying a pattern, cutting, fitting, and finishing a garment was taught in Miss Jones' sewing classes this year. A new course for seniors, called Homemaking, brought out the principles necessary for creating and maintaining a real home. Delicious odors of tempting foods floated through the halls while the cooking classes were in session. Mr. Floyd, in the manual training department, supervised the construction of individual pieces from the cutting to the finishing. He also taught the use of the machines, the importance of blue prints, and the way to make correct selections of lumber. The fine arts department made a great deal of progress this year. Mrs. Roedell's stenciled win- dows at Christmas time were a joy to behold. Her classes learned lettering, sketching, printing, and appreciation of fine paintings and water colors. Miss Mitchell's introduction of slides to help the singing in assembly was quite successful. Her instrumental classes were trained so that they could M, -b.,... fill vacancies in the orchestra left by graduation. Maps, charts, globes, and projects were used to acquaint Miss Austin's geography students with I FABRICS, LINES, AND COLORS ARE ALL CONSIDERED IN THE MAKING OF A GARMENT the world in which they live. One of the most interesting ideas was that of having the eighth grade boys write a book on the sports of the different countries, showing the similarity of games and other activities. VVhistles screaming and lockers banging are familiar sounds in the physical education department. Improvement of posture was one of the most important things stressed by Mr. McClurg. Limbering-up exercises, mat work, and intra-mural contests were part of the re- creational period for the boys. Miss Stern taught that a healthy body was a prerequisite to happiness and success, and that it could be obtained only by sufficient exercise, plenty of rest and good food, and intelligent care of one's self.

The school not only has good facilities for teaching, but also has incorporated a varied program of extra-curricular activi- ties into its regular schedule. The well- equipped stage is always in use by would-be Thespians. Materials are not the only things necessary for education: there must be a well-trained teaching staff to use those materials to the best advantage. The de- partment heads and assistants make subject matter as interesting as possible through the use of modern apparatus, the motion picture, and the use of an extensive refer- ence library.

They had been talking over their four years in A. H. S. After la few minutes, lVlr. Evans the high school principal, opened the door. He was on his way home. Paul Nurnberger, the president, quickly arose and extended his hand. 'lWe don't want to say good-bye, lVlr. Evans, but I guess there won't be room for us next year. Marion, Dale, Richard and I have just been talking over everything that has happened to us since we first entered this building. We'd like you to know that we appreciate everything you and lVlr. Perley did for us while we were here. I've just been thinking of all the good times We've had, said Marion Frey, the class secretary I think our sophomore party was one of the best that has ever been held in AVALON High School, I certainly did enjoy myself, and I'm sure every other member of the class who attend- ed the party had an equally good time. Dale Vogel, who had been standing quietly Qand that was unusual for Dalej remarked, Remember what a fine sophomore president Bob Sweitzer made, and how well Alda jane Ross and Paul, here, performed their duties as secretary and treasurer. I think the class motto that we chose, 'Toil is the sire of fame,' has been remembered and upheld all through high school and has proven a great help to us. Richard Miller, not wanting to be left out of the conversation, said quickly, l'Excuse me for interrupting, but I'm sure all of you will THE orriciaias or THE SENIOR CLASS BID iARi:w1:LL TO MR. EVANS AND AvALoN Hiou SCHOOL agree that our junior and senior years were the best of all. Our junior officers, Clyde Wetzel, president, and Alda jane again as secretary, and the other members of the class made the Valen- tine jubilee a great success. 'tI'll admit, said Marion, gravely, that the Valentine jubilee was a lot of fun, but a couple of weeks later those happy memories of the dance were saddened and the whole class was plunged into grief at the death of David Berg- man, He had been in the class only one month, but he stepped in and worked with a will, especially on this dance we have just been dis- cussing. Everybody in the class thought he was grand and liked him So much. The memory of Dave will live forever in the hearts of all his classmates. Dave was one swell pal to have, and we all missed him terribly, remarked Dale. But, Dick, you forgot to mention that you were treasurer, and a good one at that, these last two years. And, Mr. Evans, don't you think our junior Play, Llllle Wonzen, was splendid? Yes, Dale, I do. That was one of the best plays given here for several years, Mr. Evans answered. Coming right back at you, Dale, grinned Dick. You know you helped make it what it was, with your portrayal of 'Laurie'. HGoodness, you forget to mention how nice our senior play, The Lilies of the Field, was. The story waSn't as well-known as Little Wbmen, but I was fully convinced that it was Twenty-five VVITH SOFT LIGHTS, SVVISHING FORMALS, AND LILTING MUSIC VVE DANCE AT THE PROM. just as much of a success, weren't you? queried Marion. f'Yes, they all agreed. A'And hasn't all of this year been perfect in every way? XVe'll walk to the corner with you, Mr. Evansg we'll always remember our high school days as the happiest times of our lives. Wlith this, the president concluded the con- versation, and the little group regretfully dis- banded. One bright day in the middle of june, the Senior Class was gathered together once more discussing the good times they had this year and how much they were going to miss all the school activities, after graduation. The conversation turned to the two sponsors of the class, Mr. j. C. VVeichel and Miss Giulietta A. Plympton. These two great teachers had a great deal to do with the preparation of the class for their future. Any evening after school, Mr. VVeichel might be seen sitting at his desk talking with one of the students. Such questions as HDO you intend to go on to college? and VVhat work do you especially like to do? You know, after all, if you don't like your work, you won't be successful in it. Or If you like nursing, why are you taking a Commercial Course? would be asked in his attempt to help students to find their fleld of work. He encouraged the students to talk over their plans with him, and he straight- ened out many difficulties. Miss Plympton directed the junior and senior plays and in many ways advised the seniors, she made herself a lasting friend to all of them. Wlithout her help, they never would have kept Twenty-.sz'1: f W' V f - W -aux: . . 'Zin',igt7E. if - , f y A5:T2fai4i,..,,-5 .f f my . ,gc ,-, g , O fl ' V . ' -f..'

Warm-1EL Class Sponsor their ring orders and money straight. About the middle of April 1936, there was much excitement in the junior class. The last big social event of the year was scheduled for May 29. An inconceivable amount of work was to be done in prepara- tion for the annual Junior-Senior Promenade. XYork on decora- tions started in March, for the class wanted it to be the best Prom AYALON had ever had. Under Paul Nurnberger's capable leader- ship as Prom chairman, the work was completed, and the gymnasium was transformed into a huge ranch. Desert scenes surrounded the gym on all sides and the refreshment stand was a long ranch house. Billowy clouds of cheesecloth floated overhead, with a moon crescent and stars shining through. Huge spot lights played over the Hskyu all evening. After a happy evening of dancing, the juniors, seniors, and their guests departed, tired, but satished that the Prom had been such a great success. In assembly one morning, the seniors selected five boys and five girls who were the most out- standing members of the class. These persons were chosen on the basis of activities, scholarship, and outstanding achievements. It is with respect and admiration that the Class of 1937 presents its class leaders. GILYLIETTA A.

How did she remember where they all came from? College is next on the program for Mary Jane after four years of Trcwalon, Dramatic Club, G. R. and Crafts Club in A. H. S. - ' ' 'fAuds, as AUDREY ANDREWS was called by her very best friends, had a special interest in sports and could always be counted on to help her classmates win the game. She was active for four years in Girl Reserve work and play. A piano to play, a request for her songs, and she was happy. NIAXINE BEAL, the girl with the infectious giggle, plans a glamorous college course after leaving high school. Max, always willing to help, served faithfully as Leaders' Club treasurer for two years and enjoyed the fun as a member of Dramatic Club and G. R. ' ' ' JOHNNY BLACK, our automobile mechanic, plans to go to Diesel School after four grand years at AVALON High. His pet hobby was, of course, automo- biles, his pet hate, English. ' ' ' BILLY BODER was the bad boy of the class and every teacher's headache. For all his playing around, though, he did get serious once in a while and help the boys Tfwcnty-eight 'H in Hi-Y. He got a lot of fun out of playing the piano and Hstudyingf' JOHN BURNHAM was the romantic HRopes in the Senior Play. VVill you ever forget his campaign speech for Senior president? Science was his specialty, and he found an interesting hobby in Hresearch work in the vast field of science . 'Q ' - MARION BRINK was a quiet com- mercial student. Exciting movies, interesting books, a cozy corner, a box of candy, satisfied her. Ask her what she liked best, and she would say, Hockey and basketball, of course. ' ' ' UBRUBSH BRUBAcH was a loyal Boy Scout, and did he strike a handsome figure in that uniform! He loved to hike. Did' this have any connection with his two years of Travel Club? JOHN CAMBY was the hunter and fisherman of the class. He managed to leave these interest- ing hobbies for a time, though, to hold the position as stage electrician, and to take the part of the hen-peckedu husband in the Senior Play. ' - ' JANE CASHION, a newcomer to AVALON High this year, said, I had truckloads of fun in G. R. and Youth and Curtain Club. I'm sorry I had only one year at AVALON.H Besides these activities, she liked to walk and roller skate. But, who doesn't? Seniors J C JOSEPH CAsiIIoN JAMES CHAIN GEORGE CLEMENTSON Rov COIIER VVILLIAM LoXwErs WILLIAM CRONENWETII LUELLA D1ETELs ELIZABETH DILs JOHN DOWNINC XVALTER EI Aixs JOE CASHION, that good-looking young man in Room 13, stepped right in with his saxaphone and secured a place in the school orchestra. And he was pretty good at it, toog but this didn't take all his time. He was one of the culprits who helped produce that aroma that floated from the chemistry room at times. ' ' ' JIM CHAIN, tall, goodlooking, curly-haired, and a football hero. What more could a girl ask of a man? He was a great hunter, too, and loved to travel. Four years of college is next on his program. ' ' ' GEORGE CLEMENTSON had too many activities to study, and too many studies for activities. That is contradictory, but A'Clemy was busy all the time+Student Council president, Annual and Travalon staffs, football, and basketball. But he always had time to tease a teacher or torment a girl or two. ROY CODER was an ally and help-mate for many of Bill Boder's pranks. Decorations for dances, and studying took up most of his time. Even if he did play hookey a few times, he seriously plans journalism for his vocation. ' ' ' BILL CONNERS, like Johnny Black, also plans for a course at Diesel School. He used to help win some of the football games, but later woodwork and mechanics were his interests. BILL CRONENWETH played basketball from the time he was a green, green, freshman, and this year he was one of our stars. Maybe, if you had asked him, he would have taken you for a ride in his car, 'cause driving a car and traveling were his favorite hobbies. ' ' ' LUELLA DIETEI,S, president of Commercial Club wants to be an A-1 stenographer. She likes commercial work, and sports. You should see her play basketballerapid passes, accurate long or short shotsfall expertly done. She played l'Au1Il March in Little VV01nc'n superbly. BETTY DILS, Editor-in-Chief of the 1937 Annual, Leader's Club member, Girl Reserve Supper Chairman, a twin in Senior Class Playe how did she find time for all these activities! Just ask a G. R. member about her suppers. They were good! VVe'll miss her L'Okay, toots next year. ' ' ' JOHN DOWNING was so quiet one never knew whether he was around or not. He spent most of his time in the shop making interesting things with wood. A place in a bank teller's cage is his ambition. ' ' ' WALTER EVANS, or 'ABoona as he was known by some of his friends, just loved to tease the girls. VVho was that singer QPU going down the hall? Only Evans in disguise. Oh well, he was lots of fun, though noisy. Tu' Prlly-711710 Seniors G GEORGE FARMERIE ELIZABETH FAN: JEAN Fox MARION FREY - PAUI.

He certainly did come in handy doing the art work for dance decorations. The orchestra back-drop for the prom was one of his best pieces of work. People, in general, interest Red . ' ' ' BETTY FAY, quiet, demure, studious. She held a special interest for dramatics and belonged to Youth and Curtain Club. An office job is her aim after high school. Commercial Club' found her an active, interested member. She was an excellent worker, a loyal friend, and a good student. JEAN FOX, sweet, dark, lively, and lovely-a true all-round girl. She did everything from sports to writing. She helped compile the 'LHistory of AVALON High School, which placed third in the nation, was a member of Travalon Staff, and was an Annnal snapshotter jean had parts in both the junior and senior plays. ' ' ' Anybody want to make a payment on his A ticket? That was rosy-cheeked MARION FREY collecting much needed money for Athletic tickets. She could be found on the gym floor 'most any time. Mem typed for the Annual, too. She was unforgetable as Meg in the junior play, Little Women, and had the lead in The Ghost Parade. ' ' ' PAUL FRUIT took part in almost all sports while he was in High school- football especially. Paul, with his accordian, was Thirty a welcome entertainer. He could always be depended upon to Hll his place in the orchestra pit when it made its appearance. ROBERT GASSNER liked to collect stamps. He liked sports, too. During his sophomore and junior years he was one of the basketball manag- ers. Bob left his manager's duties to play on the first team this year. ' ' ' ISABELLA GERCKEN, an attractive commercial student, liked to swim best of all. Reading was her hobby, too. She liked short stories best. Izzy spent three years helping in G. R. activities and also belonged to Commercial Club. ' ' ' HARRY GILFERT was mostly interested in science and shopwork. He was so very quiet we never knew whether he was among us or not, but he always had some interesting pieces of woodcraft to show. Gosh, what have I done now? Such ex- clamations greeted the appearance of LILLIAN GOERLICH, the ofhce's willing helper. Although this work kept her busy, Lillian was the keeper of the purse for G. R. and a great booster for the chorus. ' ' ' Many an opposing full-back found it tough to break through our end when JAMES GOODXVIN was on the job. Fuzzy's powerful strokes and quick thinking won him the job of assistant life-guard at AVALON Pool. You need not fear when Jim is near! Seniors O WILLIAM GoRIvIAN EDITH HAWKINS MARGARET HENDERSON GEORGE HEssE FREDERIU4 HOHNER WILLIAM KELLY GEORGE KNAUFF FRANCES ICORNMAY EDXVIN KREGER WALTER IXRURLES When not in the great woods hunting or reading up on airplanes, VVILLIAM GORMAN could be found flying around Chemistry Lab hunting something else to blow up. In the official capacity of president of Science Club, he con- cocted many an odorous mixture. Nine long years of gruelling study face Bill for he intends to be a doctor. Stick to it, Bill, you can do it! ' ' ' EDITH HAWKINS was interested in dramat- ics. Besides being president of Youth and Cur- tain club, Eddie played the part of Amy in Little Women and was a society lady in the senior play. VVedding bells rang for Eddie before the end of the year. Quiet, with dark hair and snappy brown eyes NIARGARET HENDERSON went about her routine of commercial subjects. Always a willing worker, Marg found time to read, sew and walk. She was an enthusiastic member of Commercial Club. ' ' ' GEORGE HESSE, the quiet 'boy who joined us last year, proved quite a help in Science Club and Hi-Y. As an enthusiastic hunter and fisher- man, he spent much of his leisure pursuing these hobbies. ' ' ' Hey, Horner, where are my pants? Fred, you got an extra sweat-shirt? lVIine's ripped. 'fVVhere's the ball? HIs the field marked? -These and many more questions were fired at FRED HORNER, football manager for three years. Efficiency was his motto and he certainly lived up to it. The whistle blowsg there's a mad scramble for the ball. Out of the tangle shot a slender, red- haired boy, headed for our basket. It was WILLIAM KELLY, high score man on the basket- ball varsity. Red was a keen golfer, too. ' ' ' Flats, backing, drops, lash-ropese-all these meaningless words each had a clear meaning to GEORGE KNAUIIF, the stage manager. Not only the stage, but the football field held Georges attention during his four years here. ' ' ' VVho was the champion giggler of the Commercial class? Everyone knows the answer----blond FRANCES KORNMAN. Franny did get serious once in a while and help with dance decorations, Annual, and club activities. Likeable EDWIN KREGER was the class's chief Hcheerer-upper. Vlfith a smile and good word for everyone, Eddie went through four happy years at AVALON. His smile and hearty laugh will certainly be missed. ' ' ' Quietly and deliberately a short, blond boy went about his work in the shop. VVALTER KRUKLES was one of the quietest boys of our class. VValt was one of the few lucky ones who had a job awaiting him after graduation.

Jim's interests were not limited to science but extended into the field of sports, where he thought football was the tops. ' ' ' AVVILLIAM LAWRENCE, our man about town , had a great variety of interests. Not only sports, movies, and dancing claimed his attention, but he blush- ingly admitted, I like all girls in general. Somewhat of a Romeo, this boy Billy! Billy was the boy who walked five miles each way to school! ' ' ' The finer arts, music and poetry especially, were the subjects on which 'JEANNETTE LEE focused her time and talents. Lee says, My pet ambition is to organize my own orchestra. Let's hope that it' may be realized. Jeannette could always be found in the typing room after school, working on Trcwalon typing. Those interesting articles that appeared in almost every issue of the Tnwalon were the work of ELEANORE lX lANNE, column writer. When she was a sophomore she helped her team on the hockey field, and was active in G. R. for two years. ' ' ' VVords, words, wordswno, not Shakespeare, but lVlAXINE lXIcPHERsoN working- on Annual writeups. As literary editor, Max had the huge task of composing the copy for the book, and it was a good piece of work. Com- mercial Club and sports also claimed some of Tlnfrty-I wo her attention. Framed again! Vllait till I-get Messnerln Such exclamations made our 'Spilt Inker, CAROL lN'lESSNER, seek protection from the wrath of the enraged framed Carol plans to'be a designer.

' ' ' Contracts, ad space, alumni register-these were just some of the many duties of the Annual business manager, RICHARD AlILLER. Business managing was not '!Rich's only activity for he proved a capable treasurer of our class when we were juniors and seniors. A To be a good .private secretary-that was the main ambition of peppy BlARIE lXlOHR, Believing in mixing work and play, Marie fur- thered her commercial studies by joining Com- mercial Club. She enjoyed its activities. ' ' ' Headlines, front page stories., feature stories and the sport page all hold a fascination for JACK lXlONDA. His pet hobby was reading the news- papers. Jack's work at the store kept him busy, but he still found time to enjoy a good game of basketball. ' ' ' Hockey sticks, whistle, stop watches, balls, pinnies, and score pads-just a few of the things which ALICE AlOREL,-XND kept track of as Senior manager. Al managed girls' athletics capably through the four years that our class was in senior high school.

Through Woody's efforts quite a few points were credited to AVALONYS basketball account. A cracked wrist forced him to the bench just when he was getting started. ' ' ' Pictures, pictures, and more pictures! PEARL NICHOLS, our photo editor,'saW pictures in the making, looked over the proofs, then the finished productg and hnally had the great job of identifying all the many faces which appeared in the Annual. Quite some job, but well done, 'ANick. From sophomore treasurer to senior president, with Prom chairman and football thrown in, have been some of PAUL NURNBERGER,S major activities. Through his efforts in all these, Dutch proved his ability as a leader. ' ' Knitting, reading, swimming-these activities occupied DOROTHY OyNEILL'S spare time when she was not busy with G.

Curly headed ROBERT PAYNE liked all sports in general and proved his ability as center on the football squad. Bucket plans to go to college after graduation from A. H. S. ' ' ' It's no fun being tiny. For proof see our little-big senior, LILLIAN PRATT. In spite of her size, Prattie undertook some pretty big jobs and did a good job on all of them. Remember her refreshment booth at the Prom? Her untiringiefforts on the decoration committee helped make the junior Entertainment successful. During the dull moments at the store ClIARLEs REEVES found time to make model planesg but there were no dull moments in the cheering section when Chuck was on the job. There will be few dull moments in Chuck's future, for a forester must always be on the job. ' ' ' A hunting we shall go would be an appropriate theme song for PHINEAS REEvEs. You'd better keep on the good side of Phiney for he is famous for his collection of guns. He will go to college after four years of good times here. ' ' ' ELLSNVORTH R1cHARDs,.the boy with a friendly smile, did his part to make Hi-Y successful during his four years in A. H. S. In his own quiet way, Dick took part in many of the activities.

Charlie participated in many of the Science Club'S mad doings. His favorite hobby was making model airplanes. ' ' ' DORIS RoUssEAU was a lover of dogs and a souvenir collector. l'Dorrie has had every kind of dog from poodle to police dog. The ring she wore this year-was it a souvenir? Business college is next for her. She was a dependable Annual typist. Five o'clock would still find L'Dorrie turningoutcopy. ' ' ' I like to sing, confessed RACHAEL ScoTT-but don't we all? Scottie hoped to go in training for a nurse after busy high school was over. XYherever Scottie was, Andrews wasn't far away, for they were inseparable.

Unfortunate- ly, Ginny could not record all the laughs and good times she's had at AVTALON High. Annual business Staff assignments kept her busy after school. ' ' ' XYith nothing particular planned for the future, ROBERT SXYEITZER has decided to grow old gracefully and then apply for an old age pension. Bob was president of his class during his sophomore year, and was the junior- vice-president. Bob played football and helped decorate for dances. HELEN JANE TAGGART, our winner of prizes, edited a new and different Tramlon this year, and it was splendid. Tag was one of the girls who boosted athletics by selling UA tickets and was always hounding us for money. She handled the two big jobs nicely. But she still had time to enjoy G. R. for four years. Jolly DORIS THOMAS will use her good nature to an advantage in the field of medical research. She plans to be a nurse. She was an active sports woman. Doris helped the senior hockey team at the difficult position of goalie. ' ' ' Give XYILLIAM TOLBY a wise crack, a silly song, his original hand-clap, and he will be happy.

Mary was a loyal member of G. R., Youth and Curtain Club, of which she was president this year, and worked on the Annual. New and different snapshots were her aim, and she suc- ceeded. ' ' ' Being president of Hi-Y was no easy task, but CARL UI-ILMAN certainly made it a successful club this year. Carl and his sax added a great deal to both the school's and Brad Hunt's orchestras. Music, of course, was his hobby. ' ' ' VVho would ever think that our actor, DALE VOGEL, could make so much noise on the football field? As head cheerleader he certainly got lots of noise from the crowdg and as an actor, he did well in both the junior and senior plays. His portrayal of 'lLaurie in Little Women was outstanding. Sewing and cooking were the main interests of tall, dark PEARL VOELKER. Senior play costumes were proof of her ability. She also displayed her ability as an actress in The Ghost Parade. She was an ardent sports enthusiast, and plans a nursing career. ' ' ' lXflARY VVACHTER was the richest and most popular girl in school when the Annual come out. As circulation lmanager, Mame had to see that everybody had paid in full before the books were distributed. She was a splendid worker on the A ticket and a dependable cook in G. R. After BETTY WALMSLEY gets her training, we all should look beautiful, for Bye plans to be a beautician. Commercial Club, Youth and Curtain, and G. R. took most of her time when she wasn't typing for Annual. Betty had a secret passion for cats. ' ' ' Recording all the happenings of the Hi-Y was JOHN VVALTER's job as secretary. Not only Hi-Y but the details of dances and class plays demanded much of johnny's time. He was a good Annual ad seller, too. Tennis and traveling were his favorite diversion, and he was somewhat of a Thespian, too. He made a splendid butler in the Senior play. As class president during our junior year, CLYDE WETZEL worked hard on our entertain- ment, play, and Prom. VVetz was one of our star athletes this year, showing his prowess in both football and basketball. Wlill you ever forget his 98 yard run in the Ben Avon game? He made quite a collection of athletic letters while he was in high school. Although the lightest man on the squad, VVALTER ZENDE held his own on the gridiron. l'VValt's main interest seemed to be just bum- ming with his pals. He was a quiet boy, but a loyal friend. He had small feet-size 6M-but that did not stop him when he started down the football field. Tlzirty-fee Glass Tliglnf lull I , I I . . LN, x i xx 1 xv ,If 'A iw. 'I I I4 . ., , I . I 2 ' w .II .za .

CARDEN Class Spmzmr GERTRUDE E. SXVIFT Class Sponsor H ISE to resolve, patient to perform, is the motto which has guided the junior class through two years in senior high school. Helped by their sponsors, Miss Carden, Miss Swift, and Miss Brenneman, the juniors proved to the school that they were a really distinguished class. Early in the year they elected their officers. Tom Tesla was chosen as president by his class- mates, Bert McCandless, vice-president, Imelda Krome, secretary, and Frances Graham, treas- urer. Under the leadership of these officers the class gained recognition in athletics, scholarship, and activities. They selected green and white as their class colors, and chose the gardenia as their flower. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time. Thirty-eight The JUNIOR CLASS Achieves Distinction Nllhile studying Macbeth, the juniors usually selected this passage from Shakespeare's tragedy as their favorite. Miss Carden's interesting instructions made this play one of the best liked of all the classics. Mr. Vlleichel put up many good arguments to the juniors in their history classes, and instructed them in the details of American history. But studies certainly did not occupy all these students' time. One day, while walking hurriedly through the halls of Avalon High School, a group of junior girls talked excitedly. They were discussing the junior play. The following conversation was heard, just after the selection of the play became definite: 'fVVhy, where have you been for the last week? Haven't you heard about the junior play yet? asked one girl. No, the other replied innocently. VVhat about it? It's going to be collossal, stupendous, gigantic! In fact, it is going to be the best play that has ever been given in the AVALON Audi- torium. ' Getting some of the enthusiasm from them, she inquired, What is the name of it, and who are the leads? Huckleberry Finn is the name of the play, and the .... Huckleberry Finn! she almost shouted. XVhy that will be wonderfull Oh, but excuse me for interrupting. What were you about to say? Just that Bert McCandless came through try-outs with the part of 'Huck '. When the play was presented it was a tre- mendous success. The juniors played to an enthusiastic audience. Bert, supported by a splendid cast, turned in a fine performance. Helping him were Charles Briigel as Tom Sawyer, Frances Parry as Aunt Polly, and Dorothy Schallack as the colored maid, Jenny Lind. The class held the annual Junior Entertainment, The Vlfinier Ccwniwal, on February 5. The decorationsfwith snowy pine trees distributed about the gym, snow men reigning in their kingdom of ice and snow, igloos, and soft lighting effectsegave the gym a wintry atmosphere for dancing. A floor show was presented by members of the class, which included a dance by Lorraine Miller, and songs by Lester Trimble and Virginia Fox. A large crowd spent an enjoyable evening as guests of the juniors. The girls were excellent in sports. They finished the intra- mural season as champions in all sports. In fact, their records in volleyball, basketball, and hockey showed not one defeat. They loved to play, and any time that the gym floor was not occupied, several of the junior girls could be seen shooting baskets, or playing volleyball. They were real sportswomen. The boys were also well represented in sports. Jack Faulkner made a name for himself in basketball as well as football, and Douglas Kennedy was outstanding on the football team. Several weeks before the end of the school year, the juniors went about with thoughtful and determined looks on their faces. VVith the approach of the Junior-Senior Prom, the juniors' thoughts were on decorations and plans for the best prom put on by any class. On Move-up Day, the juniors stepped into the coveted places recently vacated by the departing senior class. The senior president handed over the ladder for safe-keeping to the juniorse a symbol of faith and responsibility. By this act, the juniors undisputedly became seniors. Front row, lef! Io righl: E.

This year, filled with fun and excitement, passed quickly for them. In this short time they organized themselves into an interesting and reliable class, one to be depended upon to complete each thing they undertook. The sophomores took every qualification seriously into consideration when electing their class officers. VVilliam Oakley turned out to be the most popular and the best qualified candidate for the office of president. He worked hard and faithfully and came up to the expectations of his classmates who had voted for him. John Morgan had two offices to fill to the best of his ability. As secretary he wrote up the minutes, and as treasurer he kept the financial account straight. In sports, the sophomores were wonders. The girls had several very promising young athletes in their gym classes who will probably help their class to win volleyball and basketball games in a year or two. Ellen Dripps and Betty Cline were two of the best basketball players in their class. They will go far in their favorite sport. F arty Amy Lampenfeld spent most of her spare time working hard for Leaders Club. Donald Palm had already made a name for himself in football. Football games would not be the same without Don in there giving his best to help AVALON High win. Bill Oakley and John Slasor also found time to play football and are well on their way to first team-berths, Of course, the sophomores are very proud of the record their class had in athletics. Did you see the decorations for the Sopho- more Party which was held on April 2? Didn't you think they were clever? Little Dutch girls and boys in their Dutch atmosphere made the gymnasium quite attractive. The upper-class- men had to stay out of the gym that night, because, as is the usual custom at AVALON High School, this Sophomore Dance was to be free from their inquisitive, curious gaze. The party was open to the sophomores only. Delicious refreshments were served during the course of the evening. Dancing couples came to the refreshment stand to drink punch and to chat for a few minutes with one another. A new idea came to light this year in regard to this dance. It was to be a stag party. Imagine! Not one date was allowed. Upon inquiring of the origin of this queer custom, it was learned that some of the class members had started a petition that each sophomore would sign, promis- ing that he or she would come without a guest or escort. And, regardless of broken dates, every member of the class who attended the dance had a happy, enjoyable evening. The tenth graders found their studies very interesting. Silas Marner, by George Eliot, held the interest of the pupils for many weeks in English class. Then, this year, instead of study- ing Sir Roger De Caverly Papers and the Biogra- phy of Benjamin Franklin they read shorter essays by different authors, and shorter biograph- ies. Scholarship, character, service, leadership good sportsmanship, and dependability e all proved that the sophomores were worthy citizens of AVALON High School. These qualities fit them to step into the places left vacant by the juniors on move-up day. Guiding this group all year were their faithful class advisers, Mr. Mawhinney, Mr. Smith, and Miss Hamill. Their enthusiastic help was appreciated by all members of the class. Fran! Row, lefl lo righl: R. Cass, L. Mic iel, B. Iirah, A. Hirseh, J. Consentino, H. jones, C. Roche, M. Gelzheiser, L.

As one wanders through the halls getting a glimpse of what really happens during the school year, we see a happy group standing at this seldom-vacant spot. Junior high seemed to have a monopoly on the place at the moment, for not one student of Senior High was anywhere to be seen. Their tongues were going as only junior high tongues can, let's go over and see what's going on. It hardly seems possible that another year has passed, but such an exciting year this has been! remarked Olive Stumpf. I think I've Forty-t wo l had a better time as a freshman than I've had since our class entered this high school, and that's saying something. 'Tll never forget the fun we had in seventh grade though, added Gladys Nichols. Vile couldn't be kept down when we started working for prizes in the Book VVeek Contest sponsored by the AVALON VVoman's Club. The winners were three girls, all from the A class. Putting on assembly programs was new to us, but we came through with flying colors by presenting two plays, Great Caesar and Ghost in the Boarding School.

DEAN Class Sponsor championship when we were seventh graders. L'Well, I'll speak for our activities as eighth graders, began -Iune Keller. In the first place, we had a peachy record in the Student Council UNO-Tardy Campaign, remember? Then we did something original. VVe held a contest to see how quickly we could get our Student Council dues all paid. As a result we were the first to have our dues turned in. just as we did when we were in seventh grade, we worked long and hard on our Book VVeek projects. Those of us who had any spark of literary ability had loads of fun snooping around trying to get some ldirt' on the kids to put in the Trcwalonelte, our junior high paper. The boys kept up their fine work in sports and gave us high hopes for even greater success as freshmen. Everyone to his own choice, but I still say our freshman year was the most thrilling, spoke Olive convincingly. Of course, I think the J. J. XVERTACNIk Class Sponsor events you girls have recalled were grand, too, but let's think back over some of the things that have happened during the past year. The presidents of our three sections were Joe Herring- ton, Dolores Wlalliser, and Burdella Dobson. Joe also was president of the Junior High Student Council. VVhen Book Vlleek prizes were awarded, Evelyn Metz, Gladys Nichols, Margaret Kerr, and Nancy Feick walked off with the honors. VVe made a number of records for not being tardy. Listen to this: the 9C class established a no- tardiness record by coming to school until the first of February with only three people guilty of over-sleeping. Who wouldn't make sure the alarm went off with such a reward as one period off for not being tardy for one month? VVe found EVA Hoovrzk Clary Sponsor it more profitable to wait three months before taking our prize, for then we got a whole after- noon off. just as we had expected, the boys were real sportsmen, and two of them were on the pre- liminary basketball team. The girls were active in this field, too, we played volleyball, basketball, mushball, and, believe it or not, football. Our class was particularly fond of music, and several of our members were real musicians. At Hallo- we'en, the 9A and 9C classes had 'swell' parties. f'Pardon the interruption, Olive, but I think we ought to let some of these peppy eighth graders give us an account of their doings, put in Gladys. Let's go, Olive! F orty-three Lower Grades Ma ke Their Presence Known UST like the ninth graders, the members of the seventh and eighth grade classes have their own particular parking lots. However, these vary from class rooms, to the wall in front of the grade school, or the athletic field behind the high school where they watch the mushball and hockey games, and even catchers The other day we found a group of these talkative youngsters assembled on the landing of the stairs by the huge Window which overlooks the drive- way and faces the grade school. All along the window-sill were piles, large and small, of the notebooks, magazines, tablets, pencils and pens which are sometimes left for months at a time without being moved one single bit except to cram in a few books when the last bell rings at 3:45. And for some unknown reason, they Hstay put till the last day of school. VVith elbows propped on these remains of the year's work, gazing into space, we heard this conversation, which, quite appropriately, was a summary of the activities of these two grades. 'fOur class did lots of worthwhile things, began Therese Nash, a very active eighth grader. 'Alf you don't mind, I think I'll see how many things I can remember about our class in seventh grade. f'The presidents of the three classes were Harry Young, Rodney Beal, and jean McGary. Cf course, we spent the first few weeks getting lost in the halls and almost breaking our necks while changing classes, but we don't think any- thing of it now. 'Several of my classmates began to write for Seventh Grade Sponsors IXIARION T. jONEs IDA M. PRICE PEARL W. ROEDELL Forty-four Eighth Grade Sponsors JOHN F. HALL ELSIE E. NEUMAN DOROTHY M. WRIGHT the Trfwalonetzfe. This gave them experience for better jobs on the staff. Then when Book VVeek came, we all determined to win those attractive prizes. XVe presented three assembly programs which, from what I've heard, were well liked. I think we made a pretty good start, don't you? After everyone agreed, Therese continued her story: f'As eighth graders, we were just as peppy. This year we chose Herbert Boder, Robert Smith, and Charles Packer as class presidents. Book VVeek awards were given to Patricia Ann Finley, Janet Kerr, and myself. Mary Klebe was given honorable mention. One member of our class, Bill Jenkins, was on the football squad, Alexander Hooker was in the orchestra. All three of our classes had Halloween parties. Each class presented an assembly program. As far as studies went, our English course was really lots of fun. Miss Hoover gave us study guides for better work habits when we read Eziangeliize, A .Man lVitIz0uf A Cozmfry, and A Jlfidszmmvcfr N1'gI1t's Dream. XYe made book- lets on an imaginary trip, too. XYe wrote entries for the XVoman's Christian Temperance Union Essay Contest. 'lNow we're looking forward to next year. I hope we get along as well as the ninth grade did, finished Therese. I think it would be fun to hear what you seventh graders have been doing, Lucille, spoke Therese. How about it? Although our class was new in this building, O I Top Group Front Row, Zefl to right: R.

I believe we've gotten along top rate, began Lucille Hunter. I'll never forget the first day of school. We started right in to learn how to dodge the stampede in the halls, but it wasn't long 'till we caught on. VVe were so glad to trade the regular reading, spelling, arithmetic, and other grade school subjects for such new things as assembly programs, gym, and clubs, which helped us to gulp down the other classes we didn't like so well. As soon as we got settled, we started right in to do the task that was before us. VVe elected officers to guide us, and we found Billy Brown. Elsie Cashion, and Ralph Nurnberger very capable! Ruth Hooker, Albert VVolfe, and Doris Mae Huck were the winners in the Book VVeek contest. Their work was really something to be proud of. Ruth's booklet won first prize because of its originality, neatness, and choice of pictures. Albert made a neat little booklet about the life of Louis Pasteur. Doris lVlae's prize winner was a doll dressed like a Puritan woman. With her was a tiny spinning-wheel. XVasn't that clever? The 7C class gave a play in assembly called 'No Girls Admittedf and the 7A class matched them with an educational health play. Helen Wlasserman and I were reporters for the Trazfaloneite. Outside of school, Helen was editor of a little newspaper called 'Us Kids' to which a number of our classmates subscribed. 'fBy the end of the first semester, the 7A class had gone three months without being tardy, so were given a whole afternoon off. Just then Gladys suggested that they had better leave before Gus swept them out of the door, so off they ambled, still discussing the events of the year.

AVALON has just these things, and we're out to prove it. After school, troops of girls were seen march- ing to the field, heavily armed with kneepads and hockey sticks, ready to play the game and accept, with little thought, the blows accompany- ing it. Miss Stern, sponsor of the Leaders' Club, supervised girls' athletics, and started competi- tive intra-mural class teams with games schedul- ed after school. Through her efforts, many mediocre athletes became stars in hockey, basket- ball and volleyball. Incidentally, that ball got some terrific blows from those active sports- women. Mr. lVIcClurg kept the boys interested in gym periods by continuing the novel system of check- ing the roll-call which included individual posture tests. By the new point system, a pupil was not graded according to athletic ability, but by his willingness to cooperate. Class period captains were appointed to look after the equipment, attendance records, doors, and lights. When the weather permitted, the boys scurried out to the field and took part in some lively sports. Soccer was very popular among the fellows and many hours of good, clean fun were spent in playing football in the forward pass-touch tackle manner. During the basketball season, intra-mural teams GVLA B. STERN NVILLIAM E. McC1uRG Girls' Physical Direclof Boys' Physical Di1'ecloV were selected and schedules arranged, which gave the teams some real competitive action. Then, after the basketball season came to a close, the boys displayed their contortionistic aptitudes in coordinating mat work. Music was used to help establish rhythm. When volleyball took the lime-light, skillful teams were chosen from the junior and senior classes. Mr. lVIcClurg skillfully drilled the ill-fated varsity basketball squad after school hours. There was a fine spirit of cooperation among the players, but the Hu epidemic left its mark on the struggling team. Better luck next time! The reserve basketball squad was coached by our new faculty member, Mr. Dean, who suc- ceeded lVIr. VVeichel. The latter coached the reserve squad last season, and quite successfully at that. AVALON really had a football squad worthy of praise. Head coach VVertacnik, assisted by Mr. VVeichel, line coach, and lVIr. Dean, back field coach, did a line piece of work in turning out a good squad of pigskin toters. Aside from excellent teamwork, the fellows displayed the purpose of all games, good sportsmanship. Achievement tests were given in football place-kicking, soccer ball kicking, basketball field goal shooting, and basketball foul shooting. The purpose of these tests was to determine the individual improvement of the player from the beginning of the season to the end. F iff y-one Again AVALON J. J. WERTACNIK Head Coach HROUGHOUT the heat-scorched days of early September, forty boys, who had responded to the football announcement, were seen on the football field exercising away the fat that had accumulated during the summer. A week of strenuous hardening up exercises, which consisted of calisthenics, competitive games, and speed races which resulted in stiff, sore muscles and aching backs, put the squad in good physical condition. Three quarters of an hour to an hour was spent every night in this way, loosening muscles so that the fellows would be in condition for scrimmage. Then came the selection of the varsity. Cf course, each fellow hoped he'd be chosen. They were all good sports, though, and took the opinion of the coaches as final. Football practice really began after that. The first three days of the week was scrimmage practice, with the fourth reserved for signal drill. Good training and few injuries characterized the team and also proved to these ironmen -f' .: Fifty-two I Q36 an eventful season ll J. C.

Under the fading sun at the football amphitheatre, and under the waning yellow lights of the gymnasium, this quartet bent their bodies and swung their arms in organized gyrations to the crowd, and were answered with roaring, rous- ing cheers. The cheerleaders were unanimously elected by the student body and by Mr. Evans. Six boys were candidates and four survived. Head cheerleader Dale Vogel, successfully supervised the megaphonists.

Who made athletics in AVALCJN possible this year? VVho financed the athletic activities? Of course, the student body of AvA1,oN High School did, but only under the persistance of Mr. Mawhinney and his six assistant financial sharks The junior and senior high students were frequently visited by one of this sextel who usually collected chicken feedl' every after- noon before the games. A customary phrase that they often repeated was Have your 'A' ticket paid up to date by Friday, or you will 'most of a certainty' not be admitted to see our team play. These girls were always to be seen at the gate before home football and basketball games. Stringing the tickets to be sold was quite a task, and collecting the money for them was just part of the regular work of the committee. Mr. Mawhinney was their adviser and balanced the budget. After faithfully serving the student body for two years, Mary XVachter, Helen jane Taggart, and Marion Frey pass the responsibility to the junior girls who served as able assistants to the seniors. Don't be surprised if Thelma Cronk, Dorothy Schallack, or Isabelle Christian collect your nickels and dimes in payment for an A ticket next year. F iffy-th ree APTAIN ZENDE, quarterback, led a victor- ious team through a see-sawing game with Zelienople during the first 2 periods. The opponents had already played their first game and had had that characteristic first game nervousness knocked out of them. Dutch passed to Conners, and then plunged over for the winning touchdown. The score was 6-0. A determined Blue and Gold team, bedecked in new uniforms, decided to show Coach Weich- el'S Lower Valley team how to play a real game of football. Injuries, bad breaks, and penalties gave Beaver a touchdown in the first quarter, and one in the third. The last ive minutes of the game showed a new AVALON team, which fought its way to the goal line and opened a hole for Dutch to score, just as the whistle blew ending the game with a 14-6 defeat. The AVALON-Ben Avon game found Don Palm starting in a backfield position with the guards changed. Don scored in the second quar- ter after running 20 yards, Faulkner scored in the third quarter, and Wetzel ran from his own 2 yard line through the opposing eleven for a touchdown. He has since been dubbed the l'lVIasked Marvel. Faulkner scored 2 extra points on passes to complete the score of 20-0. The most uninteresting and inactive game of the season was with Shaler, and ended with AVALON victorious, 13-6. Shaler scored in the first quarter, and things looked dark until Dutch scored after Shaler fumbled. Ken- nedy's out-Standing defensive game, in which he blocked a punt, paved the way for another 6 points in the third quarter. Faulkner scored the extra point in a pass from Dutch Fifty-four l WITH LONG RUNS, LINE BUCKS, AND PASSES, oUR TEAM PUT UP A coop FIGHT. AVALON won her fourth game away from home at Edgewood by a score of 26-6. Faulkner and Dutch scored in the first quarter, and a third possibility was ended by penalties. A new Edgewood team emerged the second half and withheld AVALON,S every attempt to Score, but a completed pass and an intercepted pass ad- vanced AVALONYS score in the last quarter. Edgewood's only real threat came in the fourth quarter when Michaels intercepted a pass and out-ran the AVALON Safety man for the only point. AVALON lost the game with Sewickley by one touchdown, and was rated the underdog before the contest. Goodwin showed his Sterner stuff and played a stellar tackle position. Far out- weighed and outclassed, AVALON played its best defensive game of the year on the blue and red's gridiron. Wetzel was the only offensive threat. The score was 6-0. A hopeless team played the best they could against the class B champions at Aspinwall and were plowed under by a 26-0 score. Vllide runs proved too much for the locals. The team began to put on power in the first quarter, but couldn't keep it up. The Bellevue Bull Dog romped home with the taste of victory in its mouth on Friday the 13th with a 6 point lead. The score came in the middle of the third period, when Keen crossed the 100 yard marker after catching a lateral pass from his team-mate. However, the game wasn't as one sided as it sounds, for Conners almost broke loose after catching a pass. The other threat came when AVALON advanced the ball to the 15 yard line only to lose it on downs. Nine senior varsity fellows played their last game, regretfully, and lost with the score of 6-0. ., , K W J Limm 1'.NURNnls1z1'rIa R. PAYNE W Lumix G. KNAUIPF G.

Fzffy-five Basketball Squad Fights Jinx Year ON 6 out of 19 games-not a very good record as far as wins and losses are con- cerned, but fate and ill fortune was against the basketball squad from the start. The M. D. was kept quite busy tending to Bill Cronenweth's case of the flu, and Jim Chain's cold and appendicitis attacks, not even mentioning Woody Niemeyer's cracked wrist. just as luck would have it, the hrst team suffered most from injuries. Perhaps the scores showed defeat, but the basketeers had the courage and spirit necessary to win. Their attitude was to play the game for all that's in it. Yes, they were a W. E. MCCLURG Basketball Coaclz determined bunch of boys, and showed fine sportsmanship in spite of their bad luck. Look at the season's record of wins and losses again-5 of the 6 victories were league games. The best and most exciting games were played away from home, especially so were the Leetsdale and Edgewood games. Incidentally, AVALON finally broke the extra-period jinx that followed the team all last season at the Leetsdale game, and won this contest by one point. That was a great accomplishment in AVALONYS basketball record, Mr. McClurg, the coach, deserved a couple of pats on the back for his faithfulness and willing- ness to stand by a crippled team. Great glory was not attained this season, but many hours of Fifty-six diligent work and practice were happily put in by the boys and the coach. There were many highlights throughout this season, even if we did seem to be the under dog. The season began by losing the game by one point to Shaler, and in the return game, Shaler again won by that small margin of one point. Shadyside Academy proved to be a better team as well as good hosts. Gakmont shared a victory and a defeat, however, the loss was by the score of one field goal. Overloaded Christmas stom- achs held the team to a standstill at Aspinwall. Having digested the dinner-and the defeat- the team recovered momentarily and beat a highly touted Sewickley team by 2 points. Incidentally, this was the first league game. A victory was squeezed out of the Ben Avon match box, and then illness stepped in and ruined the chances for a section championship. This sudden handicap, probably, was the cause for defeats in the Verona, Leetsdale, Neville, Edge- wood, Bellevue, and Sewickley games, which were lost by wide margins and poor ball playing. Finally, after the return of those who were sick, the team managed to rout Ben Avon, Leetsdale, and Edgewood, in the most thrilling games of the year. The Blue and Gold won three out of the last five games, and they were won on their opponents' floor. Vile make no unnecessary alibis for the squad, for they held up well under the conditions. Let's glance at the AVALON stars this season. JIM CHAIN made the greatest number of field goals and was the roughest player, according to the number of personal fouls against him. He captained four games and his jersey carried number 6. Sickness kept him from playing his best-kept him out of 2 games. BILL KEI.l-X', the fiery guard and forward was the high point man on the teamfa total of 133 points. His favorite shot was a feint, and dribble shot. Good eye for basket and fighting spirit- Fireball Red Kelly and his temper were some- thing to beware.

BILL CRONENNVETH played at guard and for- ward-that is, whenever he was able to be on two feet. Colds kept him out of 8 games, but he was a good ball fighter. A quick, impulsive player who wore number 7 and was captain of ' e of the season. the first gam VVETZEL was the most depende guard who played wonderful defensive ball.

NIEMEYER was a good guard and a good center except for a slight want for height. His high arch shot from the side of the floor was often heard swishing through the basket. A cracked wrist kept Dead Eye from playing the last two league games. He had the best percentage in shooting fouls. VINNIE KERN, a forward who played very good defensive basketball, was another floor- worker. He lacked height, but he made that up by hard playing. He was lively and had his own unique style in shooting a ball. GASSNER played a forward position-usually on the left side since he used a tricky pivot shot in which his right hand did the trick. Whenever the opponents had the ball, he managed to get his hands on it. He led the bench in scoring. JACK FAULKNER was a deliberate player who played reserve guard. He had a hard time keep- ing his Hrst team berth while he was in there. GREENAWAY, a forward that saw little action will prove to be a good ball player. Number 5. PAYNE, a reliable guard and a dependable player who wore number 12. He played back man, and consequently chances to score were not so frequent. CLEMENTSON spent most of his time on the bench cheering the team on, but had several chances to show his ability. 'fClemy found it hard for a short fellow to be high point man, but he helped prevent the opposing team from making baskets. Don't get the idea that the reserve team is unimportant, just because they do not play in competitive league. It is from the reserve squad that the varsity squad is finally chosen. After the green-horns have played a year and gained experience and conndence, they are ready to be graduated to the varsity team. Iikifty-eight Fran! row, hifi lo righl: G. Hughes, J. Morgan, L.

As this was Mr. Dean's first year as a basket- ball coach at AVALON, he managed to finish the season with a very good record of eleven victories to six losses. If the three juniors, eight sopho- mores, and the four freshmen boys cooperate and play basketball next year as they have in the past season, AVALON,S opponents will have to start scouting for some good players. The squad started with a win over Shaler, then a defeat by Shadyside Academy. A trio of victories followed. Shaler bowed to them and Oakmont dropped twice. Two faculty games were played this year, and the teachers provided amusement and surprises. The reserves gave them a break by allowing them to win one of these contests. During the campaign, they split two games played with Leetsdale and Neville Township. Victories were scored over Vilest View Reserves, Ben Avon, Emsworth Y.M.C.A. and Edgewood. The only team that handed the Junior Varsity a double defeat was our tradi- tional rival, Bellevue. The very successful season was due to the cooperation of the yearlings with their new coach, Mr. Dean. This enviable record rather makes up for the varsity team's ill-fated season.

Intra-mural basketball games provided an inter- esting conversational subject for all of the boys because all boys were selected for a team. Mr. lVIcClurg taught the fundamentals of basketball in his gym classes during the early part of the basketball season. To the junior high school boys, dribbling, set shots, pivoting, and feinting was something altogether new and interesting. After learning and reviewing the principles of the game, gym classes chose 2, 3, or 4 teams, according to the number enrolled, under the leadership of a captain. Scheduled games were played and class team champs played in the eliminations series at the end of the season. Score keepers and time keepers were selected from other teams and Mr. lVIcClurg refereed the games. The junior high school championship series was keenly fought. The senior boys were victorious over all the other teams. Boys intra-mural athletics provide the stimulus for fair play and good sportsmanship in the gym classes. ,S'1'1zirJr High Sflmol Tmm, Inf!

N ey, Where're my shin guards and who has my stick? f'Do you think we'll make the team? These were some of the remarks overheard in the girls' locker-room during the week of September 21, when the hockey teams were being organized. Miss Stern gave individ- ual instruction to the girls after school in the gymnasium, or on the field in back of the school. After learning how to handle their sticks and how to pass the ball, team selections were made, those who survived the cuts organized teams representing the three senior high classes. The sophomores found hockey a new and exciting game, for they were introduced to it for the first time this year. The girls elected managers and captains to organize the teams and take care of the equip- ment. Captain Alberta Hirsch and manager Barbara Walmsley supervised the sophomore team made up of 20 girls, captain Thelma Cronk and manager Elizabeth Black did the same for the juniors, and Pearl Nichols and Alice More- land looked after the twelve senior girls. A schedule was planned in which each team played 4 games, 2 with each class. The junior class hockey team was undefeated this season, they held the championship from last year. The juniors won 4 and last none. This overwhelming victory was an omen of good luck for the juniors, for they were to go through the entire intra-mural season undefeated. Sixty They began as sophomores to gather together a string of victories, and began the season as juniors by adding to the prestige they had al- ready established. They displayed a fine spirit of sportsmanship in every contest, and played hard for their honors. The seniors split their games for 2 victories and 2 defeats, and the sophomores, due to their inexperience were the champs on the opposite end, with 4 defeats. Insufficient equipment, cold weather, and unfavorable conditions kept the girls from play- ing a larger schedule. The juniors had a grand total of 21 goals, which is the same number the seniors and sophomores had together-the sophomores had 8 and the seniors the remaining 13. The games were fought furiously, with each team battling for the victory. The competitors braved all kinds of weather, and the chill winds were conducive to fast, quick playing. Girls' sports did not draw a large crowd of spectators. but they provided keen rivalry and wholesome exercise for those who participated. The girls had a great deal of fun on the hockey field back of the school. STAN D I NG TEAM XYON LosT Seniors .... 2 2 gl uniors ..,... 4 0 Sophomore-s, . . 0 -1 F11 l1fO1U,lefl!0 right: T. Cronk, M.

Bulletin hoard notices such as that kept the girls informed as to when class volleyball games were to be played. Because of the large number of girls who answered the call-out, each class, except the seniors, was represented by three teams chosen by Miss Stern, the coach. After learning the fundamentals of the game in gym classes, each team, composed of nine players, elected its captain and manager. The scheduled games were played after school. The contests lasted 20 minutes, with a change of courts at the end of the hrst period, Excited cheers and muffied exclamations filled the gym while the finger-stoving game was on. lXIiss Stern selected score keepers, and Hnet-stretchers who kept the net taut, while she refereed the game. The junior girls won their second honors this season when they emerged victorious in the volleyball championship play-off. The juniors were real sports enthusiasts. Volleyball is rapidly coming to the front as a popular sport with the girls, because the rules are simple, and it is easy to play. Also, every girl who wishes may belong to one of the class teams. This season, Miss Stern chose enough teams from each class to give every girl a chance to show what she could do. The age-old adage, Hprevention is better than cure , is upheld in AVALON High School girls' athletics. These inter-class contests provided the rivalry and stimulus for fair play that was so necessary in all games. The familiar termse Net! Out of bounds! Point! could be heard on the gym Iioor while a game was in progress. If only the student body realized how hard the girls played, and what a championship meant to each class, the attendance at the interclass games would have been greater. The junior girls deserved a great ovation. Their victory was not unanticipated, however, last year, as sopho- mores, they gave the seniors a set-back when they emerged victors by winning all their games. This year, the championship was practically in the bag before call-outs were issued. The junior girls certainly were the school's star athletes.

CLASS BASKETBALL rush to the gym, accompanied by banging lockers, shrill whistles, lusty shouts. and bouncing balls, announced that the girls' intra-mural basketball season was under way. AVALON girls, despite the fact that they are ladies, are noisy on the basketball floor, for they love to play the game for all that is in it. Miss Stern, the coach, used gym periods for instruc- tions in the art of passing, blocking, shooting baskets and fouls, but the inter-class contests were held on the gym floor after school hours. Teams were selected from each class. The girls who had a better eye for the basket and were good passers played forward, and those who could block passes and could prevent the opposition from scoring played guard. All the girls who turned out for their respec- tive class teams usually made the squad, but six of this number won positions on the hrst teams. Each girl had some part in the contest. Those who did not play cheered the ball throwers from the side-lines. AVALON girls were loyal to their own sports. Class competition aroused enthusiasm and brought to the surface the true AVALON spirit as the girls played exciting and closely matched Sirly-two contests. In many of these games a few points meant the winning or losing of a title. Inter-scholastic games were scheduled with Ben Avong and the AVALON sextets had a fairly successful campaign against their friendly rivals. In these games, many latent abilities were exposed, and many of the girls showed exception- al ability in marksmanship and fine passing. Quickening pulses and excited hand-claps follow- ed every basket or unusual situation, and the gymnasium rocked with cheers that passed excited, uncontrolled lips. Wlhen it came to the inter-class play-offs, the juniors were the favorites. They had romped through the season, carrying off the champion- ships in both volleyball and hockey. They carried off the laurels in basketball with little difficulty. They did meet some stiff opposition from the sophomores, but closed the season with an undefeated record. After a game was played, happy voices, mingled with the noise of running showers, talked over the various plays and situations which had developed during the play-off. A friendship and a spirit of cooperation developed during these friendly contests that could not have thrived elsewhere. Fair play was the creed of each girl, and good-sportsmanship the key- note of the entire team throughout the season. STANDING Tmms Wox Losr Senior .....

Another question often heard was, Can't you make your story a little longer? It takes lots of copy to fill a six page paper. Bert McCandless, associate editor, was in- dispensable to Helen Jane. They introduced many new features in the paper this year. Crossword puzzles about Avalon High School kept the student body interested in the paper long after the news had been read. AVALON students really read the ads, too. Mr, Smith, the business adviser, introduced a plan, whereby two students received two dollars and fifty cents in merchandise at the shops of various business men. Each student diligently read the ads to discover the winner. The Travalonette staff edited the last page with news of the Junior High School. Club activities, assembly programs, book reviews, class room jokes, and a gossip column were written by the staff under the censoring pen of Margaret Kerr, the editor-in-chief, and her assistant, Virginia Thompson.

H oovlcn 11 zliiiwfr Zum!! 59' , 1 i Sixty-ninff STUDENT CCJUNCIL The School U TUDENT Council Meeting tonight, Thurs- day, at 4:00 o'clock in Room 13 , read the notice posted on the bulletin board in the hall. Every week the student governing body gathered to suggest plans for the many activities the council sponsors. George Clementson, the president, at one of the meetings said, If there is no other new business, I have an announcement. The play selected by the committee is The Ghost Parade. It is a combination of mystery, rom- w....,........... fr ance, and farce, and has a cast of sixteen charac- ters. It is the story of a young girl who inherits a hotel upon the death of her grandfather. Upon arriving at the hotel, she hnds that all the guests, with the exception of two actors, have departed and the hotel is occupied by ghosts that walk at night. The proceeds of the play will be used in school improvements. Tickets will be given Student Council members to sell. There will be tryouts after school on Thursday and they will be open to all senior high students. The play will be directed by lNliss Plympton, assisted by Mr. Smith. Is there any other business? l'Yes, answered Virginia Seuss, the sec- retary. 'LI should like to make a report of Student Council's activities this year . And in her account, many interesting things were dis- cussed. Student Council was very active. HXVith lXIr. Smith, and lXlr.

George Clementson was honored by being made president. Other officers were Dorothy Schallack, vice president: Virginia Seuss, secretaryg and Donald Feick, treasurer. One of the Council's main responsibilities was the arranging of assembly programs.

On Friday, November 13, the evening of the AvALoN-BELLEVUE game, Student Council held the Annual Football Dance in honor of the football team. Fred Horner and Bill Kelly had complete charge of the affair, with the decora- tions under the supervision of Betty Dils and her committee. The proceeds of the dance were credited to the Athletic Associations funds. The student body wholeheartedly supported the dance, and Brad Hunt's orchestra provided the music. At election time, a mock presidential election was conducted in true voting style. Every teacher and student was registered. Each person voting received a ballot. He then entered a small booth where he marked an X after the name of the candidate he favored, and put his ballot into the ballot box. Voting was continuous from eight-thirty in the morning to four-thirty in the afternoon, with a voting station located on each floor. f'All problems concerning the general welfare of the Student body were carefully considered and discussed. Representatives of each class and club presented to the council the problems of the organization he represented. An example of this was the re- quest which Student Council received that a new sweater be bought for one of the cheer- leaders. The matter was dis- cussed, and a sweater purchased with Student Council funds. ln addition, the group sent flowers and books to sick stud- ents, arranged a home-work schedule, and collected clothes and food for the needy. Then, too, the supervision of the task of selling enough magazine sub- scriptions to pay for a motion picture and sound machine was undertaken. liven though the machine was not secured, the students who worked won valu- able prizes. The student body will not forget the beautiful Christmas tree which surprised them when they stepped into the lower hall on the Monday before Christ- mas. It was one of the nicest things Student Council did this year, for the tree in the hall gave us a warm, Christmas- Roumzr E. SMI rn fl dviser Ci1,xu1.ifs A. Ev,xNs 'ixvr I have an item to add to the report, the president resumed. Following the custom established quite a few years ago, AYALON and Sewickley exchanged assembly programs again this year. llle presented the melodrama, 'The Fatal Nezrklara, which was given in assembly by Miss Plympton's room, at Sewickley. In return, Sewickley entertained us in assembly the following Tuesday. Student Council undertook several worth-while projects this year. lllany suggestions were made as to the best uses for the proceeds of the Guost PARADE, and one after another was turned down as not being worthy. Finally, a distress call from the dramatic department resulted in a plan which would benefit the whole school. Because the last three class plays were costume productions, a quite extensive H wardrobe of costumes was gathered together. The biggest problem facing the wardrobe committee was adequate space in which to house the elaborate costumes. Student Council sug- gested a large, dust-proof cabinet to be located somewhere in the school, in which the wardrobe could be kept clean, and free from wrinkles. By the end of the year, a very commodious cup- board had been placed in thegirls' dressing room, and the costume spirit feeling. The Alumni Day Program, which is an annual affair sponsored by the Council, occurred just before the Christmas holiday. The XVoman's Club presented a play entitled Let's Call It Christmas which was followed by Mr. Perley's traditional roll call of the classes. After that, the entire senior high school and all the alumni were invited to a tea-dance held in the gym- nasium. The services, and Girl Reserves. be held at the VV. P.

Several other things were accomplished by the Council. It aided greatly in the plans for honor- ing Avalon's first May Queen. This lovely custom was inaugurated at the spring track meet. The Council also fostered a plan whereby a system of lighting could control the gym score board from the officials desk, rather than from the board itself. It is through this organization that the students of Avalon High School make their requests for changes in routine. The Student Council is the governing body of the school. Nwzwrziy-:ni ff Our Music At Avalon LUCILLE G. Mirciiisti. Director of .llusic HE sound of music echoing through the halls of the old building brought about the in- vestigation of a room at the rear of the building from which the music was coming. Hlho was doing all the singing? Certainly the noon hour was a strange time for that sort of thing to be going on. A glance around the room showed that the members of the much spoken of Senior Chorus were practicing during the noon hour. When Miss Mitchell, the sponsor, generously let the Club members decide when they should meet, they found that no evening after school was convenient for all the singers, so they decided to meet at noon. All right, let's sing that chorus once again before eating our lunches. VVe want to know these songs perfectly for the Festival to be held at Syria Mosque in May, encouraged Miss Mitchell. After the singing was over, the secretary, Florence Dodds, was interviewed as to the activities of Senior Chorus during the year. Florence replied, Ed Kreger was the president and Marie Auth, the treasurer. Beside our regular meetings which we devote to singing, we went Christmas Caroling with the Girl Reserves on the Tuesday before Christmas. VVe set out from the Borough Hall at nine o'clock, and after we tramped the streets of the borough until we were all pretty cold, we went to the Girl Reserve Sezfenly-tivo Club room to eat hot dogs and drink hot choco- late to warm us up. By the way, Mr. Perley said that it was the best caroling he has ever heard from the members of AVALON High School. 'LYou heard Miss Mitchell mention the Festival, we have been practicing the songs we are to sing there, and we hope to send quite a few of our members out to Syria Mosque to sing in the large chorus. On Tuesday evenings tunes of all nature come forth from the instruments of the orchestra members. A chord on the piano starts all this tuning But the tuning is over in a minute, and the orchestra really gets to work. Under the waving baton in the hands of Miss Mitchell, the orchestra works through the intricacies of a difficult militaristic march. The type of music played by this organization ranges from sym- phonic style to standard and popular music. All rehearsals are held after school in the auditorium. Talking later to Miss Mitchell, she said, The orchestra worked hard to be able to supply the music for Class Night, Commencement, the Student Council, Junior, and Senior Plays. This year I have been giving instructions to those students who wish to learn to play some type of musical instrument. I hope that by next year they will be able to help us fill the whole orchestra pit. The orchestra is also practicing to play at the musical festival of the Allegheny County Schools, at which I hope some of the members of the Senior Chorus will be singing. The singers will be directed by musical leaders who direct the various orchestras and bands throughout the county. Although graduation last year didn't leave us many orchestra members, since the beginning of the year we have built up the ensemble until it is as large, if not larger than last year's. You may remember that we played one day in assembly. I hope that next year we shall be able to play for all the assemblies. Gladys Nichols, president of the junior Mixed Chorus was anxious to tell about its activities. The Junior Mixed Chorus was an enthusiastic group this year and did a lot of hard practicing. Gladys said: VVhen Miss Mitchell asked the boys to come out and lend their rich tenor and bass voices to the large group of girls that were already Working, little did she think they would come with so little coaxingg and were they faithful? I should say so. Near the end of the year we gave a musical I'lliI'.Sl row, lvfl In riglzl: L. Dietcls, L. Miller, lf. Doflils, M. Taylor, F. Parry, lf. Hilnlvr, li. Dobson, R. Hesse, C. Roche, A.

Each singer felt that the year's work was really worthwhile-that he knew something about music that he did not know before. 'fMiss Mitchell said that the junior chorus of one hundred boys and girls was one of the most promising things that she has had since she has been in AVALON. Her hope is that their interest in the chorus continues into senior high school. Seuelzty-tlzree Stage and C urtain Draw many Students N ILL the club come to order, requested the president, jean Fox.

Jean Fox was elected president, Marion Frey, vice-president, Donald Fieck, treasurer, and Betty Dils, Student Council Representative. Early in the year, try-outs for membership were held, and eleven new members were admitted to the club. Our meetings were very interesting. At one of the meetings Mrs. Milligan read her favorite poems. Mary Lou Findley gave two character monologues and jean Fox reviewed the life of Katherine Cornell. Wle held try-outs for the play, The lflfeririing Rehearsal, and Carol Messner was chosen as director.

A bit of old Erin was in Room 19 that day. Viihat we really liked best, though were the times when the whole club went to see plays. The entire group witnessed a performance of Cock Robin, given by the Pitt Players and liked it so well that they went back again to see The Square Peg. Miss Plympton, our sponsor, taught us many things. It was from her that we learned the art of make-up and the importance of costuming and stage sets. IT was a lot of hard work, with little recognition -this putting up and taking down scenery, for the stage crew spent many busy hours backstage. It was their job to push furniture, change scenery, clean the rugs and floors, and pull the curtains at the right time. The two electricians had to Giuriiiim A.

Wlhat is more, they had to be present at all the dress rehearsals and performances of all the plays. Their job didn't stop with the plays, however. They also arranged the stage for assembly programs. The two senior stage hands, George Farmerie and George Knauff, taught the junior hands, John McCullough and lid Hauser, 'fthe ropesf' and John Camlmy, the electrician, trained James Klicker to be his successor.

At this important meeting, we had an entertainment arranged, and also served refresh- ments. At other meetings, we had one-act plays given by members of the club.

I took Edith Hawkins' place when she left school, Frances Kornman was elected vice-presidentg Alberta Cotton, secretary, and Frances Graham, treas- urer.

This well-known play is the story of four loyal sisters-gay, romping Jo, who couldn't get over her disappointment at not being a boy, sweet, lovely Meg who captured the heart of John Brookeg stilted little Amy, who went to Europe to study art, and brave little Beth, who was destined to die in youth. However, as the girls grew older, they forgot their childish vows to remain together. Meg, the oldest, was the first to leave when she married John Brooke, the tutor of Laurie, their next-door neighbor and childhood playmate, much against the wishes of Jo. Soon after, Laurie proposed to Jo but she refused him because she wasn't in love with him. Next came the tragic death of little Beth soon after her father had returned from the Civil Vliar. The four sisters were hnally completely separated when Jo went to New York to become a writer and met the dignified German professor, Mr, Bhaer, whom she married, and when Amy went to Europe to study art, met Laurie there, and married him.

The story revolved around the twins, Betty and Kitty, and the test devised by their grandmother to determine which one would receive a trip to London as her birth- day present. Their father, the Vicar, absent- mindedly disclosed to Kitty the secret that whomever the young man coming to dinner should show a preference for, would be the one to go to London. Kitty, being a little brick, told Betty, and they had a straight race for the prize. Although, Kitty was prettier, Betty was much the clevererg and, knowing that this man was a lover of antiques, made her entrance clad in an old-fashioned gown, and, displaying the most sweet and demure manners, thus secured the coveted trip to London. But then the difhculties began, for having assumed the dress and manners of a Victorian maiden, she could not give them up without losing the love of Barnaby Haddon, the lover of antiques, who had followed her to London. Kitty, too, soon joined Betty in London, and the very modern Catherine and Bryan Ropes, an other lover of old-fashioned ways, fell in love with each other. But Betty became even more wretched when Barnaby Haddon appeared, clad My dear Miss Elizabeth, said Haddon, I am fascinated hy your reception of me.

Bryan Ropes smiles upon modern Catherine, and Barnaby Haddon is charmed with quaint Elizabeth, Miss Elizabeth sets all fashionable London aeog by her early Victorian tea. in Victorian suit, to accompany her to the opera. She revealed her disturbing secret in a ht of anger. Everything ended happily when Barnaby revealed that he had overheard a conversation between the twins and that he knew that Betty was as modern as Kitty.

The girls were busily engaged making valentines to give to their best boy friends. Some were cutting pictures from magazines, others were making lace from sheets of white paper, and still others were choos- ing verses, made and typed in red by the program committee, to paste on their valentines. The club room was very attractive. Dorothy Schallack, secretary, was looking over her book in which she recorded the minutes of each meeting. She was answering many questions, for the girls are very much interested in G. R. When she was asked who the officers were this year, she answer- ed, f'Alda Jane Ross is the presi- dent, Helen Jane Taggart capably fills the position of vice-president and program chairman, Lillian Goerlich is treasurer, Betty Dils is the Inter-club council representative, and Maxine Taylor is Student Council Representative. She went on talking about the events of the club year. The first event of the year was the traditional Little Sister Hike. Each old member was given a new member as her little sister to whom she acted as big sister throughout the year. After a hike to North Avalon, the girls returned to the G. R. club room where supper was served and a program presented. One of the first projects S eventy-eight FLORENCE M. HAMn.L Sponsor was the customary selling of hot-dogs and candy at football games. This year a stand which was made by Mr. Floyd and which can be taken down after each game, made it possible to carry on in a very business-like manner. But even while the girls were missing many of the thrills of the football games to loyally sell candy and hot-dogs, a new project was under ways a Halloween Dance! The dance was held on October Z3 in a gym decor- ated in black and orange, with Brad Hunt's orchestra furnishing the music. On Alumni Day, the Girl Re- serves worked with Student Coun- cil in arranging a tea-dance. Stu- dent Council arranged for the XY. P. A. Orchestra to play, and G. R. provided the refreshments. Also at Christmas time, the girls dressed dolls to be given to poor children. Vilhen the girls voted for the best dressed doll. Dot O'Neill was awarded the prize, a lovely make-up box. Mary Trust's Social Service Com- mittee was not satisfied with just taking charge of dressing of dolls: they also sold Red Cross Christmas Seals for the benefit of the Tuberculosis League, and filled a basket for a poor family. Helen ,lane Taggart and her Program Com- mittee planned many unusual meetings. One of the favorite ones was that at which Miss Helen Morgan from the Bellefield Trade School spoke on Charm. The girls kept asking questions until the meeting had to be adjourned at nine o'clock. Another good speaker was Miss Forsythe from Ben Avon, who spoke on the trip she made to Europe last summer. At another meeting the girls held a Fashion Show, the theme of which was, VVhat the VVell-Dressed School Girl Should Vtlearf' Twen- ty three girls, wearing their own clothes which had been selected as being in gocd taste for school wear, ascended a special platform covered with carpet and banked with ferns. ln return for the grand time given the Girl Reserves by the Hi-Y on Hi-Y-G. R. Night, the Girl Reserves devoted one meeting to entertain- ing the Hi-Y fellows. A spaghetti dinner that Betty Dils and her Supper Committee had prepared was followed by monologues and pant- omimes given by G. R. members. Jane Menold started the program with the monologue, Pen- elope Al The Base Ball Game. Next, a pantomime called Silina Size Sees The Show was given by Georgette Niggel. Then seven girls gave a melo- drama entitled Love Vlfill Win. After the concluding number, At The M0vie.9, given by Martha jean Stark, both clubs joined in singing G. R. songs. During thewintersomeofthe members attend- ed a program held in their honor by Sewickley Girl Reserves. After singing some G. R. songs, the girls listened to a book review of Victoria Regina given by Mrs. Campbell of Sewickley. A few weeks later, the AVALON G. R's had a special meeting for the Sewickley girls. The parents were not forgotten. The Father and Daughter Night was followed by a Mother and Daughter Tea arranged by Jean Fox and her Social Committee.

The girls always looked forward to the suppers that were given once a month by the Supper Committee. Maxine Taylor's Music Committee was kept busy practicing special songs for different meet- ings, and, under Maxine's direction, they spent much time in compiling a song book for the club. Maxine Beal and her Devotions' Committee planned the opening exercises for every meeting. She also planned the Installation Service and the Recognition Service, where the circle of light is formed by girls dressed in white. It is one of the most impressive events of each year. During this service, the members and initiates take and renew their pledge to Face Life Squarelyf' Betty Dobson's Publicity Committee made posters and arranged the publicity, not only for club meetings, but for all club activities. The Financial Committee, headed by Lillian Goerlich, collected club dues, and it was also Lillian's duty to see that the club's bills were paid and that the books were kept straight.

John VValter, the secretary, arose and began to tell about the Hi-Y activities for the year. Hi-Y started this year with a bang! Donald Fieck, the Stu- dent Council Representative, and the Vice-President, Bob Payne returned from the National Hi-Y conference at Berea, Kentucky, full of ideas to make this year a big one. Then, too, the addition of Mr. Smith as faculty sponsor created more enthusiasm. Early in the year a combined meeting of all the Hi-Y clubs of the North Boroughs was held to celebrate Mr. iXlontgomery's twenty-five years of service with the Y.M.C.A. The Emsworth, Ben Avon, AVALON, and Bellevue clubs attended a banquet held on the gym Hoor of the AVALON Presbyterian Church. The banquet was followed by the singing of favorite songs by the boys. Mr. R. A. McDowell, the speaker of the evening, told about 'lVlonty's' splendid work with the boys. The AVALON Hi-Y took part in the celebration Fin! row, iff! lo riglili C. Uhlman, Mr. Smith.

To visitors these dinners were quite amus- ing. Guests had to eat in a hurry, for plates were cleaned up in record time. Probably, the funniest thing of all was the meeting itself-everybody on two chairs. One chair was to sit on, and on the other rested one's feet. VVe entertained a great deal this year. At different times we honored the football players, the Mothers and the Fathers, the Alumni, and the Girl Reserves. At our last meeting, we had personal inventory night, at which we all took stock of our own good and bad qualities. That was a pretty good meeting with which to wind up the year. You forgot to mention the impressive service that made our Installation so memor- able, added Carl. At this meeting, the officers were officially installed.

It was Leaders' Club playing a fast game during one of their meetings. But soon the shrill sound of a whistle summoned the girls, and they quickly gathered at one side of the gym. Let's go over and listen to them. Will the meeting please come to order?', It was the president, Pearl Nichols, speaking. The secretary will read a resume of the Club's activities this year. Leader's Club opened this season with a hike to Hunt's Farm where we spent the after- noon playing 'football'. Next, the club spent an enjoyable, but col evening at North Park, playing games, s' and dancing. Through- ,., Gvi..-4. B. ST N Sponsor out the year, we had many skating and swimming parties. There were lots of spills, but it was lots of fun. Then it came time to think of next year's club, and seventeen girls, after much fun cleaning Mr. VVertacnik's shoes, scrubbing steps with toothbrushes, and such, became full-fledged members, reported Mary Sharp, the secretary. The treasurer will now report the money- making projects. 'lThis year Leaders' Club increased the size of its treasury mainly by holding three Gym Hops. But, besides our Gym Hops, we sold candy every Thursday after school. Games were arranged between the AvAi.oN and Ben Avon girls, and we charged the spectators five cents to see each game, related the treasurer, Maxine Beal. Are there any additions or corrections? Yes, said Dot Schallack, the vice-president, I think we ought to include all the good times we've had this year. I've enjoyed Leaders' Club this year more than any other year. And so did I, shouted all the girls at once. The next meeting will be the Sports Finale to which your mothers are invited. I hope all the mothers will be able to come, Pearl finished. Shall we play some more volleyball? And the crowd rushed back on the floor for another twenty-minute period of vigorous volley-ball. Eighty-one WE STUDY COMMERCE JOHN R, DEAN Sponsor HE clicking of typewriters, and the sound of the revolving mimeograph machine plainly indicated that the Commercial Club meeting was in progress. Throughout the year, the club had many such demonstrations. One of the most interesting meetings was the one at which Miss Paff, Mr. Perley's secretary, demonstrated the adding-listing machine and the comptometer. She also explained the intricacies of the office switch- board. Correct business procedures and the qual- ifications for dependable office workers were dis- cussed at several meetings. At one time a group gave a skit which contrasted the correct and incorrect ways of applying for a position. This little sketch was well received by those who heard lt.

The officers of the organization this year were Elizabeth Black, secretary, Betty Fay, vice- president, and Lester Trimble, treasurer. The Commercial Club was organized prim- arily for those interested in a business career, but others were welcome, too. Mr. Dean, a new teacher this year, acted as sponsor.

Of course, learn- ing the use. of apparatus and conducting experiments are of great interest to members. But when sloe Arthur, the secretary was asked if they spent the time during all their meetings on experiments, he replied: No, we have made several trips this year. First, we took an afternoon off and visited the Dixmont water and heating plant. Later we made a trip to visit the Westinghcause Electric and lVIanufacturing Company in East Pittsburgh. Besides our trips, we often had moving pictures in our meetings. One meeting, we had a motion picture of a VVildwood Coal Mine and saw how the coal was taken from the mine and prepared for shipment. At another meeting, we had moving pictures on the mining of iron ore and the manufacturing of pig iron. One of the best experiments we conducted was a test to see how quickly each member reacted to some outside force. To the question, l'Vt7ho are the officers of the clubf' he answered, The president was XVilliam Gorman, and John Burnham was treasurer. Fred Horner was elected Student Council Representa- tive. lN7e had a new sponsor this year, Mr. Hall, who brought many new ideas to the club. Wie worked hard, planning programs and trips. Science Club was very interesting. just ask any of the members, and hear what each one has to say. The Science Club assembly program was most unusual. john Burnham, as Professor Quiz, tested the scientific knowledge of the student body. Interesting and informational reports and discussions were prevalent at the meetings. Then, of course, experiments were the most popular of all club activities.

HAT has Crafts Guild been doing this year? the president, Alberta Cotton, repeated the question. VVell, one of the favorite projects of the girls has been the knitting of scarfs, sweaters, and skirts. Every color of yarn imaginable could be seen at our meetings, and the clicking of needles mingled with the voices of the members. Lorraine Miller, the secretary, and Jean Fox, the treasurer, were busily occupied crocheting pocketbooks. Before Christmas practically all of the mem- bers saved money by making their own Christ- mas cards, which they sent to their friends. To do this, they hrst traced a drawing of the design they wished to have on the front of the card on a linoleum block. The design was made to stand out by gouging away the part not needed. The design was gone over with two colors of ink, and the paper pressed on the block. Then they composed verses which they artistically printed be- neath the design. Quite a few patterns were made, and the club members traded patterns so that each would have a variety of Christmas cards. Some of the members made silhouettes with which they decor- Eighty-four Gmrrnuus E. Sponsor ated their rooms. The belts which Lois Hofman made from black and white string won well deserved praise. Marie Auth, the Student Coun- cil Representative, did needlepoint. Best of all, while we were occupied, Miss Swift gave chalk talks and demonstrated block printing and metal work, subjects which were most interesting to all of us. Then too, besides our regular meetings, we held a Christmas party in Mrs. Roedell's room with the lighted candles bringing out the colors of the painted windows. The walls were decorat- ed with holly. Jane Menold and her committee served the refreshments. Wie also attended the . International Art Exhibit and the Pittsburgh Associate dArt Exhibit to increase our knowledge of art. The night we went to the International Art Exhibit at Car- negie Museum, we had a 'shoe- box banquet' in Miss Swift's studio.

Thus spoke joe Herrington as he opened the final meeting of the govern- ing body of junior high. VVe arrived just in time to avoid missing anything, and sat down quietly so as not to disturb them. The secretary will call the roll. Ralph Nurnberger then went through the list of mem- bers comprised of the Student Council repre- sentatives of all the classes and clubs. Having finished this, Ralph read the minutes of the last meeting. Then the president asked for the treasurer's report, Burdella Dobson responded with a de- tailed account of the Councils funds. Since this is the last meeting of the year, there is no new businessg but one of our members thought it would be a good idea if I went over some of the things we've done this year, said the president, so here goes: Our greatest task was to plan all the assem- bly programs for the year. This included finding someone to make the announcements and read the Bible at both assembly and chapel. Junior l-ligh Student Council By means of the Student Council dues, which was two cents a month for students not having A tickets, we sent flowers and fruit to the sick. Vile gave aid to the needy, too, by collecting clothing for them. Dues were brought in to the reporting room treasurer, who in turn gave them to our Council Treasurer. The 'No Tardy' Campaign encouraged the payment of dues, for this was a requirement which had to be met before any free periods were awarded. 'Throughout the year we conducted a 'No- Tardy' Campaign, awarding a free period to classes who had no tardy marks for a month if their Council dues were paid up to date. Here are some of the class records which were rewarded by free periods: the 9C class went three months without a single person being tardy. They col- lected their free periods and were given one entire afternoon off. The 9A class were without tardy marks for two months. i'The Student Council saw that each room was provided with a copy of the Code of Ethics. Among other things, this Code included the following: Student executives know no fear or favor. A well-behaved junior high student is punctual. Make use of your leisure time wisely. Let respect to fellow students and teachers be the cardinal virtue. i'This ends the summary of the highlights in our work during the past year. As there is no further business, Student Council is adjourned.

These clubs meet on Tuesday afternoons during the last period, but why say more when members of each organization would like to explain the merits of their club. By interviewing the president of each, we'll see hear what Loretta Geier has to I think every Girl Reserve the most successful years we've the year, we held a Recognition just what goes on. First, let's say about Girl Reserves. will agree, that this was one of ever had. At the beginning of Service at which the girls took over their duties. One of our nicest meetings was the one at which each line of the Girl Reserve code was dramatized. At Hallowe'en, we had a party. Then, when Christmas drew near, we fixed toys, and collected installments of continued stories to make little booklets, and made little stockings and filled them. At a Christmas service, each girl displayed what she had made. Wle also exchanged little gifts at this meeting. XYe gave a play and had a very interesting TVorld Fellowship service, too. Thanks loads, Loretta. Now let's see what we can Hnd out about the Dramatic Club from Eleanor Campbell. All right, Eleanor, let's go. During the first semester our club was divided into four groups, each with its own leader. These groups were responsible for the program each week. At several meetings, Miss Price, our sponsor, ga'le instructions stressing such things as stage technique and diction. In the second semester, we had a program com- mittee which planned the programs for the rest of the year. Several of our number went to see plays put on by the New York Children's Theater Company on Saturday mornings. In March the club presented a play, Aunt Hetly, in assembly. , -- u ......- , I LUCILLEv G. INIITCHEII TREXE H.

What do you have to say Ollie? VVell, we had fifteen members in our group. During the first semester, we gave a play in assembly, High links at Hollister. Several times we visited local theaters. Second semester the club studied plays, dramatized familiar stories, and produced another play, Bettys Burglar, for assembly. VVe are looking forward to even a better time next year, for the first year is always the hardest. The Travel Club was divided into two separ- ate clubs. First, we'll hear about the Seventh Grade Travel Club from its president, james Dobson. L'Our club of thirty-two members was just a nice size to take some fine trips to interesting places around Pittsburgh. These included the Carnegie Museum, Heinz's plants, the historic Blockhouse, and a broadcasting station. VVhen the weather was too bad, we worked on travel notebooks. VVe had a Christmas party, too. All in all, everyone seemed to have a good time, and that was one of our aims. Since we're on the subject of travel, here's Dorothy Johnston to tell you about the eighth grade club. We had twenty-nine members in our club this year. Among our activities were trips to Braun's Bakery, Heinz's, a radio station and Bell Telephone Company. At Braun's we learn- me E I ix' .

The members enjoyed the food served at Heinz's and were amazed by the wonders of the radio and the telephone which were explained to us in such a manner that we felt we understood these complicated things quite well. VVhen bad weather prevented trips, we worked on booklets, too. The scientists of junior high found much enjoyment in their Science Club. Bill Moreland is president so he will tellsome of the things they did. Even though girls were allowed to belong to our club, it was made up entirely of boys. We took several trips which included Heinz's and the Braun's Baking Company. VVe performed all kinds of experiments in the laboratory, and we spent a number of periods discussing such things as chess, violins, ships, .and airplanes. We showed motion pictures in assembly and collected toys for poor children at Christmas time. Now, let's hear about the Outdoor Club from Charles Liddell. This year, our Outdoor Club worked out a number of interesting projects. VVe made a ftudy of the birds of this region, forestry and the prevention and Fighting of fires, minerals and how to distinguish between the various kinds, and Fish and the laws concerning them in the state of Pennsylvania. llliss Dickson took us on several interesting trips so that we could actually see the things which we had studied about.
