No matter how trivial or extensive the task, Mr. Smith was always able and ready to lend a help' in hand. We liked to Work With him because of his easyfgoing, yet e cient and upftofdate manner of handling current problems and the kind consideration he extended to all. Ever open to suggestions as well as being able to supply good advice, he gave his best to the students and received their best in return. Thus it is to Mr. Robert E. Smith, our loyal friend, admired councilor, and man of vision and ambition, we, the Class of 1941, respectfully dedicate this Accent on Youth edition of the AVALON ANNUAL.

Todd Perley has guided and directed the activities of the Avalon Public Schools. By his experienced wisdom and constructive advice he has helped to shape the characters of Avalon pupils. Capably he smoothf ed out the wrinkles in the entire school curriculum. His days were filled with abounding activity that was not restricted to Avalon Schools alone. He has been a member of a great number of educational boards. At the present time he is secretary of the District Superintendents of the Schools of Pennsylvania and is a member of the American Association of School Administrators. Mr. Perf ley is also a vestryman of the Church of the Epiphany. The North Borf oughs Branch of the Lions Club is another of Mr. Perley's varied acf tivities of which he is a former presif dent. Fishing is his favorite sport. MR. S. TODD PERLBY, Superintendent 4T 'F ? ' MR. CHARLES A. EVANS, Principal A pleasant smile topped by under' standing blue eyes have made Mr. Charles A. Evans the loyal friend of every Avalon High School student. From his oflice in the front of the building came tolerant but wise def cisions for delinquents, constructive advice for seniors' futures, and perf mission for the extrafcurricular ac' tivities of the school. Here alumni turned for reference from their perf manent record files and here parents discussed their children's progress in class Work. Mr. Evans' office was always open to students needing adf vice, either for the present or future, and it was here that the financial end of the extra curricular activities was supervised. Mr. Evans is an ardent hunter. His dog, his guns and the Canadian Woods are his idea of a perfect vacation. gaaacf of gcfaccallian DEVOTES TIME AND ENERGY TO PRfDGRESS OF YOUTH Ma. M. W.

Daubenspeck, chairman of the property committee which took care of the buildings, furniture, and equip' ment, was aided by W. D. Teuteberg, G. A. Gunn, W. E. Gamble, A. B. Parker. The supply committee, headed by Dr. Mullen assisted by Mr. Teuteberg, Mr. Gamble, Mr. Parker and Mr. Gunn, prof vided the books, paper, janitor's supplies, and all the articles necessary for the smooth functioning of the school. Athletic equipment and uniforms were a few of the problems of the athletic committee. This work was taken care of by Chairman Dr. Mullen and Mr. Gamble and Mr. Teuteberg. All the business concerned with taxes came under the duties of the special tax committee, headed by Mr. Gamble and with Mr. Gunn and Mr. Parker as his working partners. The school finances were capably hanf dled by Mr. Parker, chairman of the committee, aided by Mr. Gamble and Mr. Gunn. These men deserve the respect and admiration of the entire student body for the fine constructive work which they have done. ll12ll JANBTTE DICKSON, A.B., M.S. Joi-iN F. HALL, B.S., M.Ed. Biology and English Chemistry l l l l BOY stood hesita tly on the steps of the high schoo . Bewildered, he looked about him to s e coming up the walk a boy and girl talking and laughing together. On a sudden impulse he put out his hand and halted them. Pardon me, he said, but colrld you show me where Miss Dickson's r om is? Certainly. We are 'ust going there, smilingly assented the c uple. As the three walkedl up the stairs the first boy introduced himself as a newcomer to Avalon High Schodl. He explained that he was a bit at sea about the way things were done in lAvalon and was more than a trifle w rried about the teachers. The girl loo ed at him as he admitted his fear and lexclaimed, You don't have to worry about the teachers CHARLES A. Evans, A.B., M.Ed c M H Physics Lbr y ll 13211 756 G00 WHO WATCH US STRIVE AND GROW in Avalon. They're all the best ever! If you don't believe her, the boy put in, we'11 prove it. We'll make it our personal business to see that you become acquainted with each member of the faculty. The door to Miss Dickson's biology lab was invitingly open and as the three entered they noticed hanging around the room colorful wall charts of bugs and flowers. Miss Dickson was seen at a table absorbed in the revelations of a microscope while several pupils were busily dissecting a frog. The boy said, This is also the physics lab. Mr. Evans teaches us the principle of levers, planes, light, electricity and radio. With him we explore the giant furnaces in the basement and the air conditioning system. He also is high school principal and guides our activities. They walked through an ad' joining door to the chemis nv room where Mr. Hall's Scie lub wasworkingoutsomee if ..-- ts.

Leaving the library the senior boy pulled a piece of paper from his pocket saying that he wanted to do this visiting systematically. The girl looked at him with a grave twinkle in her eye. Don't tell me you still retain those systematic habits Miss Price taught you in seventh grade math? Sure, her classes on graph work were so intriguing I never did forget them. Remember how afraid we were when she introduced us to algebra. Mr, Wertacnik, the football coach, soon killed those scares though. He took us through the ninth and tenth grade algebra and geometry courses so easily we didn't even realize we were ready for solid geometry until we were sitting in Mr. Smith's room looking at cubes, so ids, and spheres. Mr. Smith surely is busy with Student Council and the printing crew, but he Many hours of work go into these finished products. t fljlllf H. Stapel, Mr. Fischer, lvl. Zeman, R.

The old boy asked the newcomer, Are you an extrovert or an introvert? The other looked surprised, I don't know. I never knew how to find out! ln Mr. Weichel's sociology classes he gives us tests that determine what we are. The whole course is interesting and full of fun. 'Tll never forget Miss Whieldon's course on American historyf' exclaimed the girl. We looked forward to each class for she always made the 'dry' topics take on a new sparkle. Her originality shows itself in the ANNUAL of which she is the adviser. Mr, Dean is another teacher who uses interesting methods to keep his European history classes from becoming as 'dead' as the men we studied.

I can remember back further than that to history classes. Mrs. Gilling had us make scenes to represent battles, inf ventions or events of famous men's lives. That was fun. Miss Austen, the geography teacher, liked us to make relief maps and booklets. I enjoyed myself when I made my 'World Tour' booklet. Miss Austen takes the Travel Club on historic trips around Pittsburgh too. Say, the newcomer queried. Did you ever have any really hard subjects? Miss Hoover used to tell us nothing was hard if we did it long enough, answered Dot, and I believe her. Gramf mar rules became clear under her guidance. In ninth grade we read 'So Big,' our first novel for classroom discussion, but not our last. Fashionable and wellfmade clothes are proof of the girls' dexterity with a needle. Left to right P.

Commercial In Miss Carden's junior English class we read 'Idylls of the Kingf Then in our senior year when we make a good grammar recitation, she rewards us by reading a short story aloud. We shall never forget her splendid renditions. Yes, added the girl, and when we started to take French and Latin from Miss Plympton and Miss Green, good command of English grammar was one of the things we most needed. Miss Plympf ton introduces us to the French heroes of long ago. In Dramatic Club she directs our plays. 'LMiss Green directs plays too. Ref member the junior class operetta? In Latin classes she makes the old Roman heroes come to life. Do you have a commercial course here? the newcomer inquired. Yes, indeed.

Mr. Mawhinney instructs salesmanship and consumer's education. He gives the girls practical business experience on the A ticket committee. The boys give salesf manship talks for their experience.

The newcomer was A impressed with this description of the faculty but there still seemed to be something missing, Gym! In answer to his query, came this, Mrs Nicely's gym classes are real fun. In Leader's Club we play all the seasonal sports. Mr. Rugh's main interest is his star basketball team. Of course the boys in his gym classes have fun boxing and doing mat work.

STUDENTS SPEAKS Sponsor N EVERY town, borough and village of the United States, there is some ruling body made up of persons selected by the townsfolk. It is the duty of this organif zation to make laws suitable for the ranks. In Avalon High School this same demo' cratic system of self government was the order of the day. Representatives were elected by each homefroom and club to go to the Student Council meetings and to relay back to the group the developments which took place there. Suggestions, criticisms, and complaints were all report' ed. Special committees ironed out difhf culties and worked up new progressive ideas. Quietly and eiiiciently youth ran our school. In the past year, under the sponsorship of Mr. Smith and Mr.l Evans, Student Council has accomplished many things for the betterment of both the students and the high school. Bob Smith was the capable president whose original ideas were based on practicality. Bill Brown showed initiative in the capacity of vicef president, and Lorell Fabricius wrote up the minutes and kept track of the money matters. With these leaders, the council ever progressed toward the achievement of great success. l The Student Council boys were busy during football season keeping people off the lield. The flag raising ceremony at each football game was a council innovaf tion. It was due largely to two years of ll19l Council members, A. Bucy, S. Goodnough, J. Bevington R. Krah, and B. Brown, work hard to make school life enjoyable for students. Dismissal from another important meeting. Left to 1ightfM. Jensen, D. Laib, J. Neilson, B. Chcetham, B. Roland, A. Leibold, P. Cass, M.

At this time the queen, unknown until the last m' ute, the scho01's general ment - f. r 4 was announced at the school luncheon and later was crowned at a colorful ceremony down on the field. Following the corona' tion, an exciting track meet was held. The voting, arranging the luncheon and all details of this eventful day were atf tended to by Student Council. And so, this year, as in previous years, Student Council has struggled for imf provements over the old way. With the efficient leaders and with Mr. Smith and Mr. Evans as cofsponsors, it has gone far in achieving these innovations. Each year hence the council will see more to dog but this year little remained to complete the picture of success and satis' faction provided for the students by their own Student Council. CHARLES A. EVANS C0'Sponso1 J l20l 7fae genial: 61044 . . l YOUTH READY FOR ACTION AFTER THEIR FOUR-YEAR APPRENTICESHIP l NE at a time the ninetyfseven seniors walked forward to receive their diplomas from Mr. Perley. Each in his own way had played some important part in the class activities df the past year. The class was the usual mixture of scholars, fun lovers, athletes, and the quieter students who ere interested in art, music and literatur . But the stu' dents were all one this evening whether they were short or tall, thin or fat, pretty or plain. The ldiplomas which they received symbolized past achievef ments and future accomplishments. In September, the lass had looked back on eleven years of .study and good' times and forward to the most wonderful year of all, its final ohe. There was something for everyonei to do at senior play time. Actors, actresses, prompters, musicians, press agents, inakefup students -all were necessary to lmake American Passport the success that it was. The efforts of the complete class drew the largest crowd that ha been seen for many years in the Aval n auditorium. January brought wit it exams, pleas' ant for the true student and dreadful for the fun lovers. Howev r, all passed sucf cessfully, and the senio s were ready to embark on the last fivel months of their rapidly diminishing scho l life. In March the class gathered forc to sponsor the senior dance. Clever deborations, orchesf tra and refreshments kept the versatile students busy for weeksl but the triumph of the dance was well wlurth all the effort. April and May passetl all too quickly. June came and brought with it the most ll21l important week of our high school lives. Class Night preparations occupied every' one's thoughts. Baccalaureate made all seriously consider their futures while Commencement brought them together as a class for the last time. A little sadly they looked at the familiar walls that were like home to them. The ninetyfseven students were now all talking and laughing backstage. The threats of as soon as I graduate were all forgotten in the hubfbub and students who had worked, studied and played together for twelve years were separating. Proud parents met them at the door and soon the building was empty. Thus the class of 1941 which repref sented all the hopes, ideals, and dreams of American youth, bade farewell to Avalon High School. JOHN C.

Literary minded juniors found outlet for their journalistic tendencies on the TRAVALON staff. Doris Huck secured the position of junior literary editor on the ANNUAL while Lucile Hunter assisted the photo editor and Ed Auth offered his talents to the art staff. The business minded flocked to the business staffs of both publications. The greatest honor bestowed on any boy came to a worthy junior with the awarding of the Jack Brice Memorial Medal. When pupils held such high ideals as the winners of this award, we knew that America's future was in the hands of capable citizens. Cn MovefUpfDay the juniors proudf ly filed into the senior section. In spite of all the jollity attending the occasion, the class of '42 realized that they were now the oldest members of the student body and must set a good example for their successors.

She had been sent to the files on an errand for Mr. Smith. As her fingers ran over the folders in the drawer, she came across one lettered Sophomore Class. It was this that had sent her thoughts iandering. She remembered the rst day she came to school as a sophomqre. She, like her classmates, was determined to study hard and win recognition for her class. The first thing they did was to elect officers. James MacPherson came out as honorable president. Hattie Barkley earned the title of keeper of they funds. Barbara Hampe was secretary, and Jack Menold trailed along as assistant prexy. The next thing the s iphomores did was to go in for activities. Breliminary basket' ball claimed most of thi boys' time. Jim Slasor, Curt Bates, W llie Hough, Jack Robinson, and Ed Hirs h fought hard for Avalon's preliminary team. '- Other sophomore boys began toughenf ing up on the football, squad. Some of these brave fighters eyen won letters. They were Jim Slasor, ,Jim MacPherson, Curt Bates, and Theodore Stokes. Girls, too, were athletic. The sophof more volley ball team took Hrst place, triumphing over the freshmen, juniors, and even the mighty seniors. iI37ll I CLASS STATISTICS Student Council ....... 3 members Football Squad ......... 13 members Basketball Squad ....... 5 members Travalon Staff ..... . . . 7 members 1.

Now in the third year of junior high school life, the number of musicians increased and proved a reliable section of the school's music department. A serious part of the year had been the choosing of homefroom presidents to lead them in school activities. After thoughtful consideration, the members of the class elected Dorothy Hanna, Grant Davis, and William Barker. These three Prexies voiced the opinions of their classmates in Junior Student Council, too. Another honor was poured on the class when their representative William Barker became president of junior Student Counf cil by popular choice of seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Several of the peppy freshman girls were seen at the start of the sport year going through the many complicated mof tions of the Avalon cheers. In preparaf tion for the senior high cheerleading try' outs, these lively girls learned the fundaf mentals of leading the spirited Avalon rooters. Throughout the year the talented acf tors and actresses of the class showed their abilities to the appreciative assembly audi' ences. The climax of the year came when Movefup Day ended junior high life. With many pleasant memories, the class took its place among the upper ranks. lllffif Row Left roR1gl1t: N. Whyte M. Mcllrulc, VI.

After last year's experience, tliey were ready for the gymfhops, new stu football and basketball Flies, club socials, games, and the various activities characteristic of Avalon school life. To start off on the right foot, this industrious class electe Carol Nickolson, d La Verne Thomson, and Robert Staudenf meyer homefroom presidents to guide them throughout the year and to be their representatives in junior Student Council. In council the offices of secretary and treasurer were capably filled by eighth grade representatives. Every activity of junior high had in its ranks some of these ambitious young folks. The orchestra had the oldffaithfuls of the preceding year plus others who had mastered instruments during the summer Seaewth aacie ITH a scared , feeling the new seventh graders trooped toward the impressive high sdhool building to commence their junior hi h life.

It was great fun joining in the exciting games while other schoolmatqs were slaying at math or history. j Then there was always the hour of wi months. The band also attracted the musically minded. The number of ref porters on the Travalonette staff more than doubled since their first year. To those boys of the class who viewed a pathway of stardom on the Avalon varf sity, the junior high basketball team was a stepping stone. The girls also learned the whys and wherefores of various games during gym periods in preparati for their entrance into the class tourn ments as freshmen.

Repf resentatives from homefrooms and clubs formed the foundation of this organization which was sponsored by Mrs. Gilling. This year, as in other years, the first step toward complete or anization was the nomination of counciT members for the executive positions. Political camf paigns were begun in earnest. An assemf bly program vvas turned over to the can' didates for prefelection speeches. Then a tense period followed as the junior high studentsl votes were counted. Finf ally the results announced that William Barker had stepped into the presidential chair with Rita Brocke at his right side ready to assist him, La Verne Thom' son took over the secretarial job, and Allen, M.

All year the council labored stead' fastly to keep the junior high running smoothly. Assembly programs proved a most important feature. Clubs and home rooms were notified of the dates which had been assigned them for their programs. Leaders and devotional readers were lined up for chapel. A Noftardyftofassembly move was carried on in the hopes of encouraging promptness and regular attendance at both chapel and assembly. This camf paign was also applied to school attend' ance. Every room worked toward the goal of a month with no tardy pupils. By the valuable experience gained in this organization the youths were pref paring themselves for leadership in later school activities. , Il42lI I PART ZUe4wp.f1aal'cao1fia1ll'iai TWU 1,-.rx V 2 ss , 4' f ' ,X fx r'tf3W f 19 V IA!

A curious passerby might have wondered what was happening, but those beaming faces seated around the large table relayed only too well the happiness they felt. lt was the yearly ANNUAL banquet. The yearbooks, with each staff member's name embossed in bright gold letters, had just been presented to the staff members. The delighted gasps that ran around the table were stilled as june McGary, I 'HELEN G. WHIELDON Adviser editor, rose to speak. She retold the making of the 1941 Youth Edition of the AVALON ANNUAL from the previous june until the present. As she talked, lively meetings, tough advertisers, picture tak' ing, and that last hurried week in Feb' ruary danced through the staff's minds. The first meeting of the new staff was called in early june of 1940. Themes were thought of and discarded just as rapidly until finally someone suggested Youth The subject was gradually torn to bits and then restored and having stood the test of the analytical minded staff, it was chosen. The second meeting was September sixth, the first day of school. The business staff under james Work' man's guiding influence set out to collect old ads, renew them, and secure new ones. Roberta Clark gained H563 worth of new ads, a high scoring record if there ever was one. Phillip Hampe, Shirley Conners, Betty Wagner, Darl Laib, Warf ner Graham, Bob Haenal, Roberta Clark, john Bevington and Don Cost turned in more ads to Jim than any previous records showed.

Each class, club, athletic and senior pic' ture had to have a certain time to be taken. Audrey and Lucile then had to identify each picture and arrange its place in the ANNUAL. Ralph was the one who took the candid snapshots scattered through' out the hook. The literary staff stayed late hours in january and February to finish the writef ups. Liberty Burns, senior literary editor, lost the senior writefups at Christmas time and had to refwrite every one of them. Alice Hanna, assistant literary editor, and Doris Huck, junior literary editor, had better luck and turned their lively copy in on time. James Fryman and Howard Barnes were confronted with the task of sports writing. Jim enjoyed writing football and Howdy liked writing basketball, but those girls' sports were really hard on ,lim's good disposition. just as fast as the copy was approved the four typists: Ethel Cronin, Rose Christian, Sara Rawlins, and Richard Krah, transferred it to the blue, printer's sheet. ll47ll The sales campaign headed by june Shook, circulation manager, and assisted by Lorell Fabricius got underway in january. Therese Nash, art editor, and Edmund Tate and Edward Auth, her two assistants, struggled over the posters that were put in each room. Therese drew the boy and girl figures representing Youth while the two Ed's did the typical school life Hgures. So for a whole year the staff worked under june's capable lead to turn out a better and, they hope, an AllfAmerican and Gold Medal ANNUAL. June and Miss Whieldon, the ever busy adviser, spent hours over the dummy counting, copying, and refarranging. Nothing could be left half done and in that last busy week they still found time to have fun while they worked. Work while we play and play while we work, was the motto for the efficient staff. As June finished her speech at the banquet the ANNUALS were opened and as each person saw his completed work, he hoped the school would like it. The staff has set a high goal and had worked resolutely to attain it. ur of the hustle and bustle that existed every Monday night in Room 18 emerged the upftofthefminute school newspaper. ,Miss Carden, adviser, and Therese Nash, editor, calmly directed the literary end of the newspaper. This year, for the first time, Avalon I-ligh proudly printed its paper on its own press. Mr. Smith, with a staff of four printers,,took care of this part of the publication. lt was difficult at first for five inexperienced printers to print a com' l 7aa,aaZan a VIE FOR NEWS MAKE-YOU-WANT plete six page paper. With the cofoperaf tion of the student body and the TRAvAf LoN staff, however, it was successfully accomplished. News, editorials, short stories, feaf tures, sports, fashions, and gossip col' umns filled up the six sheets. Therese Nash wrote snappy editorials that inter' ested the high school aged group. Marion Smith, assistant editor, filled new columns and wrote headlines. Spilt Ink, the school gossip column, flourished in the dirt Edmund Tate and june McGary manf aged to dig up. The latest styles for both boys and girls were reported by janet Kerr. Phyllis Tansey and June Frye questioned students for their Personal column while Mary Ann Hoffman and Irene Liddell tracked down alumni for interesting success stories. Lively feaf ture stories were written by Elizabeth Burns and June McGary. james Fryman and james MacPherson ably reported all sporting events. Thus the staff covered every item of news interest in the school. Miss Carden, literary adviser, discussed copy with Therese Nash, editor, while Mr. Smith, business manager, and Betty Wagner, student business manager, talk over ways and means. ll48ll VRITTEN IN A O-READ STYLE Irma Haslett, Margaret Luckan, Marilyn Proudfoot, June Shook, and Jeanne Warf riner were the live senior girls who busily typed all copy. Each Week a similar scene of hustling activity took place in Room 29. Under the sponsorship of Miss Hoover, the junior high published the last two pages, known as the TRAVALONETTE. Mary Lou Nash, editor, had the assistance of a capable staff: Mary Lous Sharpnack, Frank Fertschneider, jane Allen, Bill Barker, Shirley Geiser, and Margaret Biewenter. The business staff industriously canf vassed the advertisers and circulated the finished editions. With Betty Wagrier as chairman and Mr. Smith as adviser, the staff consisted of: Lorell Fabricius, Shir' ley Connors, Frances Crt, Roberta Clark, Martha Crosby, Lucile Hunter, Barbara Hampe, Doris Huck, Jane Daryman, Lily Cosentino, Dorothy Critchiield, Marion Smith and Liberty Burns. Reporters write up news to hll the columns. From the press to the stu' dents' - the job ofthe business staff. Tmmlon typists keep the copy moving. junior staff learn the fumlaf mentaxls of publishing. Everyone hard at work. Future journalists prepare dummy for the printer. ll49ll as is .Qmil am! Small HONORS TALENTED SCRIBBLERS 1 oURNALisM+-the greatest single factor I in the world affairs today stands out just as importantly in high school life. Avalon High School has long been aware of this trendl and has placed journalism high in its ranks. QUILL AND SCROLL, the national hon ary journalistic society, has recognized A alon's attainments by estabf lishing a chapter here. To becom a member of this society each candida le, besides possessing a dei' nite flare forlwriting, must have a good scholastic ratling, one hundred inches of work printedl, the recommendation of his faculty adviser, Miss Carden, and recogf nition from national headquarters. This year, the present local chapter boasted five new members and two members initiated last year. Therese Nf,ash's conscientious work as assistant editior of the TRAVALON made her eligible fdr a place in this organization as a junior, elnd then as editor this year, her wellfcomposed editorials upheld true journalistic stiandards. As a ne s reporter, june McGary worked on t e TRAVALON staff for two years. She lwas annual junior literary editor and sehior editor. I Because Janet Kerr kept her eyes wide open for new accouterments, her upftof thefminute data on Fads and Fanciesf' was chucked full of fashion notes and paved her way to membership. As associate editor of the TRAVALON, Marion Smith wrote clear, concise, and colorful articles for which she was granted her place in QUILL AND SCROLL. For her lively and enthusiastic ANNUAL writefups as literary editor, and the newsy accurate material in her capacity as liter' ary editor of the TRAvALoN, Liberty Burns was readily admitted to this national society. Edmund Tate gained his required numf ber of inches by writing those bright quips, clever poems, and whdsfdatingf whom remarks in Spilt Ink, the newsy gossip column. The only junior to receive QUILL AND SCROLL recognition was Doris Huck. As assistant literary editor of the ANNUAL Doris was noted for her smooth, sparkling copy. Avalon youth accorded to these seven members the respect due a group which held high the ideals of journalism.

SPRING FEVER had a fascinating plot based on college life during commencement week. Howard Brant finds to his horror that he must hand in a theme on bugs before Professor Bean will give him the credit necessary for his graduation. He is fran' tic as commencement draws ever nearer and his roomfmate Ed Burns, a chemistry student trying to invent a new explosive, does nothing to help him. To add to his dilemma, the father of Ann Purcell, his girl friend, comes to town and Howard has to give him his room. Then his Aunt Maude, who has financed his edu' cation, arrives unexpectedly. After Vic TRAIN MASTERY OF SPEECH AND Lewis, an art student in the rooming house mistakes Congressman Purcell for a model and binds and gags him, Howard believes that life is futile. However, with the aid of Ann and his Aunt Maude, he finally gets his theme in on time and Mr. Purcell approves of Ann's and his engagef ment. A perfect ending for a perfect day. The following December the class again proved its ability by producing a timely play, AMERICAN PASSPORT. A 1940 Amer' ican home with all the problems of the average father who suddenly realizes his children are not good Americans but definite Leftists, was the theme. To change radical viewpoints of his offsprings is the father's patriotic problem. Mr. Hamilton becomes infuriated when his Mrs. Spangler: And I advise you girls to stay away from that -f explosion factory. Howard: It's a question of Dear Old Vic: It's a crime to make .1 Bolshevik out of this swell. Purcell: I've been swindletl. He's no doctor!

Because of Dickis actions, Mr. Hamilton loses his job. After having made a stirring speech, Mr. Hamilton is nominated for Congress and his family returns to the fold of real Americans.

Such efforts on the part of these young musicians were rewarded with the mastery of a large repertoire of difficult music. Works of Mozart, Grieg, Tschaif kowsy, Remskyfliorsakov, Ippolitof Ivanov, and Victor Herbert were en' thusiastically tackled.

The younger students wereltaught the rudif ments of vocal rendition as well as a sense of musical appreciation. junior high students had their own music club.

Laughing, singing, and otherwise enjoying themselves, the members reacllied their destihation simply famished. They all fell to work as soon as President Uune Johnstone and Vice' President june McCary had prepared the food. After ejrerything eatable had rapid' ly vanished, jgames were started. Far into the night C10 o'clockJ, happy voices were raised in: song and laughter. Every other Wednesday the group tried its skill at the bowling alleys. Alf though some 'found it difficult at first, they soon bechme adept at the game and made their scores mount higher and higher. Swimming, too, was enjoyed by Leaders' Club . Often they were seen trooping out to Webster Hall for a dip. l l GLYA S. NICELY Sponsor Not all Leaders' Club activities conf cerned sports. Once a month it held a gym hop that always drew a large crowd. Music for these dances was supplied by a recording machine. Treasurer Norma Owens counted the receipts from these affairs. An outstanding event was the Beau Brummel Ball . Males were excluded. Instead, Leaders' Club girls dressed as escorts and beaued their dates about to everyone's delight. According to June Shook's minutes, the year was successfully brought to a close by a better than ever Sports Fi' nale . junior girls were presented with their letters theng just as senior girls had received theirs in January. By the end of the year the members had learned to play well, to be fair in their decisions, and to be good recruits in America's army of youth. First Rowffleft to right: j. Cunningham, E. Gerber, P.

Don't get excited, it was just one of the printing crew lapsing into a favorite phrase. He was merely asking one of the other boys to hand him a tool he needed in his work. These boys, James Workman, Alexanf der Hooker, Hartley Ritchie, and Donald Cost developed quite a thriving business. They printed advertisements for school plays and basketball games that were circulated about the town to announce the coming events. Cccasionally tickets for dances or other social affairs rolled off their little press. Geography in the junior high and grade schools wouldn't have been the same without the printed maps of these ambitious boys. They were amf bitious, for they often worked two full hours at a stretch. Most of their work was done after school, but sometimes they were over in the shop during free periods. The grade school room where they had their shop was certainly anything but bare. Every finished product containing a mistake was posted on the walls as a reminder of past mishaps and future perfection. For entertainment at work, the boys claimed that the two pianos were all they needed excepting of course, a few inquisitive mice. The printers must have been on exceptionally friendly terms with these little rodents, because no one else ever saw so much as a mouse's tail. Superstitious, the boys hung a horsef shoe and a lady's old shoe in advantageous positions. They were absolutely sure that these relics brought the best of luck. Running a print shop gave these boys experience in the business world. From their present enterprise, the four were gaining knowledge that would give them confidence in the world of work. H.

Nothing less than the Avalon High!School Band could be emitf ting such stimulating sounds. First orf ganized in April, 1940, the band steadily increased to over fifty members by Januf ary. All during the summer of 1940 Mr. Miller and the band members rehearsed untiringly. In September, Mr. Henry Smith took oyer the reigns of leadership. Considering the fact that over twofthirds of the members have only played their instruments for a little over a year, the band has done exceptionally well. The band's Hrst public appearance was made at thelAvonworth football game. After this, it played at all our home games. Marches a' d patriotic numbers as well as concert p'eces were featured in the I 1 l l l assembly program and evening perform' ance. Small ensembles of the different instruments added variety to these enter' tainments. The band looks forward with great eagerness to more programs and parades. Although it has not yet marched in public, the members have been practicing with grace and precision. Since practice makes perfect, we shall expect wonders from this group of Avalon musicians. The bright star toward which the band points its arrow is to increase in size. Many youthful grade school pupils have already begun to study and will become part of this organization as soon as they are qualified. Everyone loves a parade. The trampf ing of feet, the blare of a band sthese are a thrill in any age. Avalon young people experienced great satisfaction in having their very own band. First Row--J. Cunningham, G. Schohn, D.

' o ng for basket pp' hi .A I 1 S T' ' up at their favorite sports, and then came the rigorous exercises, especially welcomed by the misses who wished to reduce. No change of weather ever spoiled the girls' fun, for they always had a suitable sport on hand. On the hot fall days they enjoyed mushball, cheering on their team' mates and having friendly competition with opponents. Then volleyball time began and how these enthusiastic young athletes showed their skill. During winf ter's icy blasts the girls turned to basket' ball. Again in the spring, they got the mushball equipment out of the moth' balls and headed for the outdoor diamond. It seemed to them that a meager hour for gym class wasn't nearly enough and their fun had hardly started until the bell rang, calling them back to scheduled classes. To complete its wellfrounded health program, Avalon High School has the assistance of its own doctor and nurse. Each morning Dr. Kelso checked on the general wellfbeing of the student body and throughout the day took charge of any major mishaps. Miss Byers was always on hand to give first aid and to wage a constant campaign against the old enemy sickness. Thus the Avalon student body was kept in the full vigor of its youth. ll70ll LADY LUCK FROWNS ON LITTLE PANT:-:ERS VALONQS quick hitting line and flashy backfield men, try as they would, were unable to stop the opposing teams this season. Then too, injuries early in the fall depleted the ranks of players, and later in the season Connolly, Glaser, Slasor, and Kelly of Hjumpin Joeufame also were injured. In her debut into the night playing league, Avalon was forced to bow to the superior size and Weight of the Beaver team. The plucky Little Panthers' fought as only champions could, but had to concede defeat When the Detzel eleven started its victory march. Several times the Avalon squad held the opposing team within the ten yard linesonly to have the Beavers score on long runs. Swinging into action on the home front the Weichel-Wertacnik corps, sparked on by the Stinnett, Kelly, Slasor, Connolly rectangle held the Avonvvorth gridders to a six point victory. During this contest as in most of the others, the touchdown was scored on a long seventy yard run. In a midfseason clash with Millvale, Coaches Weichel and Wertacnik give pointers to team.

C. Weichel Assistant Coach the Redmen scalped the pride and joy of the Avalon rooters in a 12fO decision. Playing a superior brand of ball, Captain Kelly's company were slashed apart by the Injuns plunging tactics. Connolly, in a breath taking 95 yard broken field run, scored Avalon's lirst touchdown in what proved to be the closest fought battle of the year the Edgewood game. Repeatedly the Blue and Gold charged deep into enemy territory, only to be held by an unyielding line. In the third quarter the tide of battle turned. After holding the Edge' wood squad for four downs on the three yard line, the Edgewood fullback swept around the end to score a touchdown. He then threw the pass which rolled up the decisive point. The following week the Avalon Panf thers clashed with the Sewickley Inf dians . Although the Indians scored twice in the first half, they were held scoreless for the remainder of the game. Found napping by a craftily worked sleeper play, the Avalon squad came out on the short end of a 12f7 tally in one of the season's hottest contests. Early in the first period the Nevillites put a sustained drive deep into Avalon territory Fifst row: B. Connolly, halfbackg B. Glaser, guurdg R. Block, halfback. Second row: J. MacPhersoii, guardg T. Stokes, guarrlg C. Bates, tackle. ll72ll ,By but the first score was not made until the third period when one of Stinnett's kicks was blocked. It rolled over the goal line to be recovered by the Neville team. Then a short pass, a long run, and six more points were rolled up for Neville. In the last quarter the Avalon eleven put on a drive of their own. Packer succeeded in taking a pass away from Neville, after what looked like an interception, and in running fifteen yards to score Avalon's last touchdown of the year. Goodwin kicked the extra point. Final score read Neville 12, Avalon 7. The Avalon gridders wound up the '40 season with their traditional rival Bellevue, the Interborough Champions. After Bellevue tallied twice during the first quarter, the Avalon defense tightenf ed. Flat spiral passes UO Butch Goodf win kept the Avalon rooters on their feet. However the light battered Avalon line, gradually weakened before the onslaught of weight. But beautiful defense work by Bates and McPherson held down the yardage gained by line plunges, and it was not until the final minutes that the Red and Black managed to run up the last seven points to their 19'O score. Several seniors bid the pigskin goodbye in the Bellevue game: Glaser, Kelly, Fitz' patrick, Stinnett, Block, and Young all have kicked, passed and run their names into the athletic parade of Avalon High School. Even though Avalon has gone through three defeated seasons, the pluck shown by the squad and the loyalty of the school betoken a fine sense of determination and sportsmanship that in the Hnal analysis amount to more than all material glory.

But twelve girls and Mr. Mawhinney spent a great deal of time and energy on just this, and a very good job of it they did. The A Ticket Committee offered every student in the school a bargain. By purchasing an A Ticket Avalon youth was able to attend all football and basketf ball games, to receive every issue of the TRAVALON and to have his STUDENT COUNCIL dues paid at a decided savings. With June Johnstone as chairman the A Ticket girls: Rose Christian, Shirley Conners, Marilyn Proudfoot, Liberty Burns, Marion Smith, Mary Ella Johnson, Martha Crosby, Frances Ort, Doris Huck, Mary Lou Michael, and Virginia Ramsey, worked out a thorough campaign. At this time two hundred and Hftyffour were sold, an excellent percentage for the en' rollment. What was it that these girls possessed to make them topfnotch salesmen? A winning smile, selling ability, a pleasing personality, all of which promised to take them far in the world awaiting Avalon youth. ll74ll A 1 ,ha ,ff,gfVV Ml' Xfdljgpi v,,,N ri 5- 5 'X ill!!

In the prefseason sohedule, the team served a hard apprenticeship winning but three of its eight games. However, the Little Panthers snapped out of their losing streak in time to check Sewickley by a 21f7 score in the ,first league game. Avalon's defense was sol good that Sewickf ley could score only one field goal. Goode win was high scorer tbtalling 9 points. Everyone thought that the first Avon' worth game would bel the game of the year.

The Blue and Gold's height was too much for Leetsdale-outcome, another victory to make four league games in a row. Taylor, Goodwin, and Bevington played well to break the old Daler jinx. Avalon, handicapped by the absence of Captain Joe Kelly, played good heads' up ball against Edgewood who has always been red hot competition. This was Avalon's fifth consecutive league victory and placed them in first place. The whistle blew, the game began. Yes, it was one of those typical nip and tuck AvalonfBellevue games.

With the sectional crown already won, the Little Panthers entered the Belle' vue game determined to defeat their old rivals a second time in one year. This privilege was denied them by Holihan, Visokey and company. The Blue and Cold tried hard but were somewhat too anxious, and the outcome resulted in the second straight defeat of the year 38431. Smith, Taylor, Kelly, and Stinnett all fought hard. Though the league games were over, the basketball season had not ended. For the second time in four years, the stadium games afforded the Little Panthers a mighty challenge. Our Hrst opponent was Springdale, the Section Five Champs, who were little but fast. Avalon entered the game as favorites. Taylor and Kelly played hne offensive ball with Smith and Goodwin playing good defensive ball, and the score at the half time read 23f7 in the L'Blue and Gold's favor. That sixteen points looked bigger and bigger as the game progressed. The final score read 3047, and Avalon collected a ball for its trophy case. The following Tuesday the Little Panthers competed against Ford City, the Section One Champs, who were big and fast. The Blue and Gold fought bravely but went down in defeat because of weakness at the foul lines and faulty short shooting. The final score was 32f25.

The girls also got their Hrst taste of public performances when the juniorfSenior Reds defeated the FreshmenfSophomore Blues 22f16 in the beneht preliminary game. Because of increased speed in girls basketball, constant alertness and pref cision of shots were most essential.

From the time the ball had ii st been put into action until the end of t e game, the girls were never still, for dri bling and passing were quite essential to the success of a game and required co stant movement.

June Shook, a versatile senior halfback, helped the team to victory with her hard hits and accurate passes. Hockey built up a friendly rivalry between the girls of different classes. The juniors, defeated only by the seniors, experienced their first victories this year and hopped right into second place. Alf though the sophomores placed third, theirs was one of the hardest fighting teams en' countered by the others. Because it was their first year of hockey, the freshmen girls chugged along in fourth place. In spite of the prefseason practices, they were still inexperienced. They were eagerly looking forward to the hockey season next fall in order to show their confident elders how much they have learned. In spite of the rain, mud, wind, and snow, these plucky girls were always ready for another exciting battle. In this way the girls proved their sportsmanship. 710-dey figaf . SOPHIES LEAVE OPPONENTS IN THE DUST ET it up! Hit it over! This cry could be heard ringing through the gym in a clear feminine voice any Tuesday or Friday during boys' basketball season. Promptly at 3:45 the enthusiastic girls scurried into the gym for an exciting game of volleyball. There was a dennite reason for all this haste. The first team assembled was permitted to play first. This year they were evenly matched, and as a result each game was a tussle to the very end. Then too Leaders' Club had purchased a new volleyball net and standards which greatly speeded up the game. The sophomores strode from third to first place this year, and because of their excellent teamwork were able to remain undefeated. The second team also cap' tured Hrst place. The jolly juniors again had to accept defeat from the sophomores and stay back in second place. After their victorious hockey season, the seniors lagged behind in third place. An outstanding player for the seniors Was Ethel Cronin, whose fast driving serves and hard hitting often helped the senior lassies out of many tight spots. The seniors' second team proved to be better in their competition than the first because they ended up in second place. The freshmen, in spite of all Mrs. Nicely's coaching, sat back in fourth place for both first and second teams. This was because the older teams had had time in which to improve their skill, exceeding that of the inexperienced freshmen, newf comers to the contest. Some people who did not participate in volleyball games thought they were dull and uninteresting because all the players were not moving continuously. But they were wrong, for volleyball ref quired quick alert girls to keep the ball moving.

Yet each, after his few brief years of power, has disappeared,-and been forgotten as life itself pushes ever forward to its own destiny. lflfll, in the light of all history, is but an incident, as even the lndihn Chief Nezahualcoyotl recognized of his own time five hundred yealts ago, in leaving us these words: l , All things on earth have their term, and, in the most joyous eatreer of their vanity and splendor, their strength fails and they sink into dust. All the round world is but a sepulchre: and there is nothing, which lives on its surface, that shall not be hidden and entombed beneath it. Rivers, torrents, and streams move on to their destinationg they rush onward to btlry themselves in the deep bosom of the ocean. The things ot? yesterday are no more today and the things of today will cqase perhaps tomorrow. The cemetery is full of loathsome dust of bodies once quickened by living souls, who occupied tllrones, presided over assemblies, marshalled armies, subdued provinces, arrogated to themselves worship, were puffed up with vainglorious pomp and power and empire. But these glories have all passed away,-with no other miemorial of their existence than the record on the page of the Chronicler.
