CHARLES A. EVANS A D M I I S CAPABLE, understanding, active-these adjectives scarcely began to describe Charles A. Evans, Superintendent of Avalon Schools. Hard work and excellent ability merited this high office for him. Mr. Evans' desk was always covered with papers and records demanding his attention, All extra curricular activities had to have his stamp of approval. Interviews required much of his time, but after a talk with this sympathetic man, each student left the office with a brighter outlook. Because of Mr. Evans' modern thinking and with the cooperation of the American Automobile Association, Avalon High School has incorporated a course in driving instruction. Hunting stories told in that slow, easy drawl were a verbal landmark of Mr. Evans. He always found time for a chuckle over these. Wheii school was over, it did not mean that Mr. Evans' time was his own. In the evenings, he still expended a great deal of energy on public spirited activities. The newlyfreorganized P.T.A. made big demands on his leisure. Mr. Evans also was the president of the BellevuefAvalon Kiwanis, MR. CHARLES A. EVANS Superintendent
