Peden KEEPS THE WHEELS GREASED LWAYS ready to go right along with the students in the Hopty Car on all matters of importance was the Avalon faculty. Excellent drivers, they were prompt to guide the school over the frequent rough spots encountered along the road of learning. Junior and senior English were favorites because of Miss Carden's capable teaching. She never tired of reading poetry aloud and even made Hamlet and Macheth exceedingly understandable. Her deft hand was seen in the properties and presentation of all the class plays. Miss Hoover's eighth and ninth grade English laid a firm foundation for senior high. It was in her room that the students learned the diagramming of sentences. Besides teach' ing public speaking to the juniors, she sponsor- ed the Tratfalonette, the junior high paper. Latin and French came easily when Miss Daryman taught them. Her dry humor was a definite asset to the classes. The 'Travalon flourished under her sponsorship. Not only a foreign language whiz, she did her bit for ninth grade social studies, too. History and English students of the seventh and tenth grades were fascinated this year hy their new teacher Miss Fuchs. An expert on these academic subjects, she was also a talented dramatist and coached the junior entertainment play and sponsored iunior high drainatics. STELLA L.
