Sponsoring a busy Pen and Key Club kept her always on the go. Her keyword was efliciency and running off a few tests for someone was just part of a day's work. Coming to Avalon in October, Mr. Nichols, with his head for business manage' ment, got off to a good start by taking over A ticket and supervising ticket selling at the home games. He taught sales, commercial math and junior business training. Whenever there was a problem, Miss Hamill could be counted on to have a helpful solution. In proof of this, Miss FLORENCE M.

Mr. McCleary was much in demand for manual training, general science and driving. His jokes were unequaled. When he per. formed experiments for his popular junior science club, he again demonstrated his scientific skill. SAMUEL B.

Mrs. Zook wanted her students to have a foundation for all sports. Her gym and hygiene classes were beneficial, Although she was busy with office duties, she saved plenty of time to sponsor G. A. A., cheerf leaders and majorettes. Miss Price made sure her junior high pupils had a thorough working knowledge of arithmetic and algebra. Although Miss Price was busy as president of the Avalon teachers' association, she sponsored junior high student council. From algebra to trig, Mr. Wertacnik knew his math. Never did a difficult problem daunt him. As coach of the junior high basketball team, Werty consumed his share of oranges. His favorite topic of conversation was dogs, on which he was an expert. lnfringing on Sir Echo. Left to right: J. Fitzpatrick, Ranta, D. Karthauser, P. McGinnis.

IG INTO THE STUDENTS With the help of Miss Jones' expert hands, junior and senior girls alike produced well tailored clothes. She also taught cooking to the feminine members of the junior high. Exceedingly popular was her homefmaking club. Another new member of the Avalon faculty, Miss Hood opened an intricate world to tenth graders with her biology classes. English was her second subject. At the end of the first semester, Mr. Groves arrived to relieve Miss Hood. Undaunted by the stress and strain of A.H.S., he took over the biology, general science and English classes. BETTY L.
