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.
