When the doors of the little red school house were opened on September 6th, the students beheld with admiration the new administration. Dr. Charles C. Wepsic, our new superintendent, formerly of Brookfield, Ohio, was not a newcomer to the Pittsburgh area. Formerly, he taught at New Kensington and Shade Township High Schools, plus several summer sessions at the University of Pitts' burgh. Dr. Wepsic proved to be both a companion to the high school students and capable director of grade school activities. Interviewing teachers, supporting the Parent Teacher's Association, and making reports to the school agenda, Dr. Wepsic found himself involved in several social organizations. The Doctof torial Association of Educators, Phi Delta Kappa Can honorary educational fraternityl, the American Association of School Administrators, and the Pennsylvania Association of School Directors and Superintendents, held most of his interests. He is also a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church of Avalon. Many a lost or bewildered student was shown the right road through Dr. Wepsic's guidance or past experience with former students. He aided social organizations within the school, along with bolstering the morale of the football and basketball teams. Innovations in the school curriculum were introduced by Dr. Wepsic early in September. These new rules, accepted both by students and faculty, kept the school running smoothly and orderly during the entire year. The class of 1951 will always be grateful to Dr. Wepsic for his fine leadership and understanding. The interesting new guidance program, which was conducted by Mr. John R. Edwards, our new principal, was well liked and remembered by all students of junior and senior high school. Mr. Edwards, who also comes to Avalon this year from Brookfield, Ohio, attended Kent State University in Ohio, where he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in education, and Ohio University where he received his Master's Degree in Pschyology. Administrators set a new goal Left to 1ightfMr. Edwards, Dr. Wepsic Aside from conducting the weekly guidance program, Mr. Edwards conferred with senior high students concerning their future plans of careers or college educations. In every assembly, Mr. Edwards could be found issuing new instructions as well as rejoicing with the School's victorious teams. His outside activities took up much of his time. Belonging to the American Legion, Principals Associaf tion of Allegheny County, Vocational Guidance Association, and the Pennsylvania Association of Secondary Schools, consumed much of his time. Mr. Edwards was never too busy to help a teacher or explain rules to a student. Class officers could often be found in his office discussing their latest problems, and receiving Mr. Edwards' honest advice. To both Mr. Edwards and Dr. Wepsic, the class of 1951 owes gratitude for the fine work they have done to make Avalon a better school for coming classes. Without their interest, the school year would not have progressed as well as it did.
