Our high school is no longer the smallest in the state. ln many details it differs from most schools, and in combination of many factors it does as a whole differ both in form and in spirit from other high schools. As one leaves Avalon liay and the picturesque cottages of Avalon, aml pass- es through the wide expanses of the golf course, he comes to a building not like other schools in appearance. A white building, early Spanish type, nestling among palms and other trees, encircled by rugged mountain ridges, and banked about by a riot of bloom and rich semi- tropical verdure, creates a first impres- sion certainly different from that of other schools. Our school has the obvious advantages of a small school, as a small class with a maximum of individual attention is the rule. Yet unlike the usual small school not only all the subjects required for en- trance to any college in the country are offered, but also many other subjects of perhaps even greater value to every stu- dent and certainly of greater value to those students who are not expecting to attend college. There is a well .equipped commercial department that meets the present demand very well, and additional .equipment is to be added another year. The Home Economics and Art depart- ments are combined at present and loca- ted in a large and splendidly equipped room. The Mechanical Arts has thus far be.en rather an orphan and has been largely occupied with work in drawing and electricity, including radio, and with practical projects in the development and improvement of the grounds, but the new shop building is now completed and will be one of the best housed and most com- pletely equipped shop departments in any school of our size. We must not forget our music department with its orchestra and chorus. 'l'he big, quiet, sunny room used for the library and also for study hall is so new a feature that the students are only beginning to appreciate properly its charm and its utility. Student body activities are especially encouraged in our school, not only for their intrinsic value, but for the oppor- tunity they give of permitting capable students to interest themselves in worth- while aeivities, to d.evelop self-reliance, leadership, and a broad sense of values. Some of these develop individual skills, others are student body service organiza- tions interested in many forms of student welfare, and still -others are outlets for self expression and are useful in develop- ing proper interests and proper attitudes. The point system and the merit system have been skillfully organized to punish undesirable conduct and to recognize and reward meritorious services. Ottr stu- dents rank first in the nation in thrift, as shown by the size of the average ae- count, and our teachers rank among the first in the state in their professional zeal as shown by the records of the Na- tional liducational Association, as well as by other accepted standards. ldeals strengthen with time and our school is but a young institution, yet there seems already to be evident certain ten- dencies that are in the process of forma- tion and development. 'llhe spirit of our school stands for a square deal for all, a recognition of the responsibilities of the individual, and a spirit of service and mu- tual helpfulness between students and faculty. Our school is not primarily in- terested in developing scholars, yet there is a gradually growing pride of accom- plishment in the tasks of the school that promises well for the future. We strive for a type of citizen for the future that will live a happier life, take a more intel- ligent part in the affairs of the state and nation, and make the ideals of democracy more nearly realized tl1an is the case with the averag.e citizen of today. We can well be proud of the purple and gold of our little lsland high school, and of the students and faculty who have helped to build it into the splendid insti- tution that it is so rapidly becoming. 15p,gQg+5 +1r1en1s'm1murs1+ i+ Q'5e - .4 Xl.

Senior Class History 55 li HAVE crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us. Our voyage may be long, or it may be short. Perhaps it will be rough, perhaps smooth. VVe have not the entire control over these circum- stancesg but, with the knowledge we have gained in our past four years in Avalon lligh School as a background, we cannot fail to show ability and skill. If you could see a record of all the worth-while accomplishments which our members have ligured in in the last four years, you could readily see by our record of this year that we are still keeping pace with the most alert. VVe have just completed a very active year's pro- gram. lilesides the regular studies and class activities which' are the duties of the Seniors, we have been well represented in every line of ac- tivity. All our students took part in dramatics, and a couple made names for themselves in music. Although not leaders in athletics, we were still prominently active. lierne Slaughter and Art Goulcling served very ably in the Student- llody Commission, and Catherine MacKay and George Minney held the presidencies in the Girls' League and lloys' Circle, respectively. On the Sugar Loaf Staff will be found the names of lierne Slaughter, Cath- erine Macliay and Art Goulding. Wfc feel certain that if our mem- bers continue to'take the active parts in worldly affairs that they have taken in lligh School activi- ties, they will come out among the winners. Our class of '27 is very small in numbers, but genius, we are told, is always sparse, so we hold high hopes for what we will discover in that wondrous treasure chest-the Future.

Hower with gaudy crown of gold, but friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold. Class Prophecy 'll NVAS a gloomy evening in the year 1950. After partaking of a heavy meal, ,I retired for a good night's rest. It seemed as if I had slept but a few moments when, sud- denly, I was awakened by the feel- ing of a presence in my room. This indescribable something took the shape of Torqua, Indian Chief of Catalina. llc beckoned me to fol- low. Out into the wind and driving snow we Ilew, over rain drenched hills and windswept seas to.-Paris. Here in an immense opera house- could I believe my eyes ?-was Ferne. Hair llying, eyes wild with emotion, face contorted, she was nightly thrilling thousands with her tantrums on a live keyboard piano and at the same time airing her powerful contralto voice. Suddenly there was a terrilic ex- plosion which rent the air and tore one entire side of the opera building asunder. VVell, you can guess George Minney was at the bottom of it. In a wild attempt to invent a painless method for absorbing mathematics he lost his worthy life. As we moved on, the tower of the Woolworth Building came into view. 1-Iere was ArtAGoulding-he always had high aspirations--db recting plane traiiic. Passing over Cairo, now quite a city, I saw Catherine MacKay. Great guns! She was editor-in- chief of a 'llrue Confessions Maga- zine and wri.ting most of the stories herself. 'l'hen the spirit wafted me back to my home in Avalon where I meditated and pondered over the things I had just seen and wished that we could all have those good old High School days to live over once again. 09 w as + 79f3,-? r'i57iX'lESQ?lT30lU1iIl 4 E if X LJ COMMISSION Commission First Semester OFFICE Commission Second Semester Bernice Smith ...................... .......

Neal became Commissioner of Affairs and Art Gonldine' was elected to lake Neal's place as Commissioner of Athletics. 'llhe first thing that confronted the commissioners was the revision of the Nlerit System. After holding' many meet- ngs and discussing the system from every point of view, it was finally finished. Then the organization of and the rules for the Honor Society were the next things that came to the attention of the connnissioners. l'atsy Lee and Bernice Smith worked with a committee to revise the former mode of execution used by the Honor Society, but the semester went all too' fast and they had to leave that for the Commission of the second semester to finish. The conunissioners of the second se- mester started out with a bang hy work- ing as hard and fast as they could. lierne Slaughter, as Commissioner of Allairs, kept the rest of the commissioners busy all through the semester. 'llhe revision of the point system was completed and the constitution was changed. At the present date of writing the point system and scholarship society are being' combined. The Commission has talked with all students having fifteen or more demerits and have thus tried to cut down the number of oifenses. These two groups ,endeavored to make the Commission a government of the stu- dents, by the students, and for the stu- dents, and it is sincerely hoped that in the following years the commissioners may recognize this ideal. flihggisi -s'intuiE'1ron2onra+ fi + f5.Q A Message from the Alumni O Al,l, of our former high school friends the Associated Alumni of Avalon ltligh School wishes to extend a most cordial greeting. D This is the first time that we have ntil- ized 'I'!1e 'l'orqna as a means of convey- ing to you the activities and progress of the Alumni, and for this priviledge we are indeed very grateful. Perhaps the most important achieve- ment which we have accomplished this year is the formal organization of the Alumni into the Associated Alumni of Avalon lligh School. 'l'his Association was form.ed in order that closer fellow- ship between the Altttuni themselves and the Avalon High School students might exist. Nlany groups of alumni members of various institutions often make the mistake of waiting too long before creat- ing a formal organization. The result is that all trace of the members is lost or nearly so, and that the close feeling for the school as well as for former school friends practically disappears. On the other hand, an alumni association of some sort tends to preserve these valttable it becomes a very powerful influence in directing aright the traditions and spirit of the school. At our meeting in January Mr. llnnkle was elected an honorary member. 'l'he chief social event which occurs an- unally and is eagerly anticipated by every Alumni tnember, is the Aluumi dance given by the senior high school. We hope to establish another custom of having an Alumni llanquet at the close of school every Alnne, at which time we shall wel- come the new graduating class to our association. 'l'l1e officers of the Alumni Association for the past year have been: Xlalcolm Renton, l'resid,tnt. Klartha Kleyer, Secretary-'.l'reasurc1'. We have tried to gather up information about all our Ahnnni, but, in some few instances, have been unsuccessful. We shall be grateful for any added informa- tion that anyone may be able to send in to us at any time.

We can look back with pride upon what we have done in those three years. Our class has been greatly broken up and rearranged. Only one of our pres- ent number, Kathryn Dunkle, came through the three years without one break. Bertha Peterson, who was origi- nally a member of this class, was absent for a year, but joined us again this fall. WVe have had many new members come to ns this year. Throughout the year we have had quite a few social activities. The lirst ot' May we had a dinner here at school, and in- vited our mothers. The first of June we gave a banquet for the Seniors,,at the St. Catherine, which was truly our big social event of the year. We have been represented in most of the student body activities this year.

Although the class is small, its memb.ers have held some ot' the highest ofhces in Student llody activities, and they are miehty proud of themselves. Well, who wouldn't be? 'llhe four boys of the class did their best to advance the athletics. Manuel and Ralph, who have each won a letter, played in practically all the team games, such as basketball and speedball. jack, Ralph and Manuel were also on the track team. Not as much can be said of the girls in athletics, for our school does not compete with other schools. 'llhree of them, however, Tona, Juanita and l3.ernice, were among the six who had a sufhcient number of points to allow them to go to Long Beach for th.e l'lay Day, March 3. 'l'he Sophomores were hosts to the Ninth Grade at a Backwards Party on April l ool's evening. Klany games were played, and everyone had a good time. 'llhe rooms wer.e decorated with green and yellow, the colors of the Sophomore Class. Whenever the Sophomores are request- ed to do a thine, it is done with a will and enthusiasm, and when they under- take anything of their own accord, every- one works toeether and it is put over with a bang. 'llhe Sophs can freely put out their chests and say: Glory, glory to the SO1lllUlll0l'.CS, Glory, glory to the Sophomores, Glory, glory to the Sophomores, The best class of them alll We take great pleasure now in wel- coming the incoming class, and in wishing them great success.

The leaders were: Salvadore Reyes, Frank llaldridge, lfrancis lfeltrop, Glenn Hoover, jimmy Carlson, lfdgar Harrison and Lew- is Sullivan. ln swimming they also fea- lured. The social life of the Ifreshman Class has also be.en very successful. The first party of the year was a l-lalloween lfrol- ic, at which they entertained the Soph- omores. 'Twas the night before Christ- mas-Vacation-when the entire Junior High held a party, at which the class was well represented. On April lfool's Day the ltreshmen enjoyed themselves at a Backwards l'arty given by the Soph- ntnores. The last party of the year was in May-Friday, the thirteenth, to be ex- act, when the liighth Grade was enter- tained. The date seemed to have no bad ,effects upon the evening's fun. livery- one enjoyed himself to his fullest Cilttil- city. The political life of the class has been outstanding this year. The tirst semes- ter Gloria Gurasich was on the Commis- sion, while for the second semester both lflclgar Harrison and Steve Gurasich were commission.crs. Glenn Hoover was the representative to the Boys' Circle for both semesters and was president of that or- ganization the second semester, while in the Girls' League Gloria Gurasich and l,o'etta Sullivan held positions. liclgar Habrison, who was on the Sugar Loaf stall, wrote up the weekly doings of the 1 r.eshmen.

The boys of our class were all forced to give the girls a party, because they failed to get their class dues in on time. W'e were also well represented at all Jnniar- Senior Hi social functions. Nor have we been lacking in social achievements, for we were well represent- ed in both Lady l rances and A lloxof Monkeys by the following members: Xlargy llaly, Cleralrline lfldan, lrene Hoover, Isabelle Scott, Vivian Harris, Hattie Nlay Smith, Charlotte llowdle and Lois Harsison. Two members of the class,Geraldin.e lil- don and Lois Harrison, have qnalilied for the Scholarship Society-an honor of which we are proud. W.e have taken our place in athletics also, for Klarselino Hernandez, Clay Tapp, Gndmnnd Hall and Mike Reyes were members of the Junior High School bas- ketball team. Nlarselino Hernandez also took honors in speedball. ln track, lfric Clill, Mike Reyes, Gndmnnd Hall and Marselino Hernandez made quite a name for their class. ln swimming, the class as a whole was quite active. gage-S -f1'1t'itu1E'r'orzo,Lifit+'g+ ,, 'Num I Seventh Grade History Hlfi SlfVl'1N'l'l'l GRADE is the larg- est class that has entered Avalon ,Inn- High School.

This was a new sport for at few of the fellows who went out for it, but they soon got the idea. Al- though our season was a short one, we were well benefited by our experience. The first game was played against ,lohn llewey of Long Beach. In this game the Avalon fellows found ottt that they had lots to learn, which did them more good than if they had won. Th.eir next game was with lidison jr. High team, who were supposed to be the champions of Long lleach. This game was a real thriller, as the score was tied through- out mostof the game. Avalon was able, however, to get in a few more field goals in the last quarter, thus winning the game. As speedball is a major sport in Avalon, we hope to have a near championship team next year.

The thre.e teams, the A, B and C, seemed to have a jinx over them. The A team did not win a game, while the B team won only one. The C team played one game, but they were also defeated, in spite of hard playing. The coach, Mr. Pryor, worked hard every night after school with all the teams, and all the players did theis best, but it was of no avail. llut, with the material Avalon High now has, she should have a very able team for next year, and we are not forgetting that one does not have to be a victor to be a good sport.

Girls ' Tournmen t The entries for this year's tournament were: Miriam Burgess, Violet Watson, lona Berning, Ferue Slaughter, Kathryn Dunkle, Gloria Gurasich, Bertha Peterson and Juanita Gurasich. The first round was very interesting, as some very good playing was brought to the surface. ln the semi-finals Juanita and lona, and Gloria and Miriam were brought to- gether. Iona put up a brave fight, but Juauita's slashing drives were a little too much for l1er. Miriam and Gloria put on a fast and furious match, and, although they were very evenly matched, Miriam finally -came out the winner. ,luauita and Miriam came up in the finals with about equal chances for the champion- ship, but ,luanita proved herself the better. Juanita was also last year's champion, so we were not surprised to see her win again this year. Juanita again gets her name upon the tennis cup, which was donated by the Mary Williams Club last year. Boys ' Tournament The boys signing up for tennis were: Manuel Barba, Jack Hcwer, Roy,Sinith, Glenn Hoover, lfrancis lfeltrop, Marseliuo llernandez, lfrank Baldridge, Ralph German, Jimmy Carlson, Max Patterson, Mike Reyes, Art Gouldiug, Truxtou Ross, Salvador Reyes, Steve Gurasich and Parlane Reid. Everyone shopved very good tennis ability, but, of course, some one had to win. As the tournament progressed the more skillful players became visible, tmtil only Parlane and Francis were left. lt was a very even match and a great deal of good playing was nec-ded on the part of lfrancis to come out the champion. Francis was also the winner of last year's tournament. A beautiful plaque, given by the Avalon l'.T.A., was the tro- Handball The handball tournament was very interesting this year. It showed that Avalon has some very g mod material along that line. The following boys took part: Leslie Grantee-r, liric- Cliff, Ralph German, Manuel Barba, Harry VVharton, Roland Feltrop, Roy llall, Xlike Reyes, ,lack llowdle, Otilio Ortez, Lewis Sullivan, Nicky Marin- coviteh, ,lack Meyers, Charles McClanahan, John Robles, Frank Burgess. All the fellows put up a good tight, but when it came to the finals, Manuel and Mike were left. Mike gave Manuel a good stiff fight, but Manuel had just a little more than Mike. Behold the Champion-Manuel Barba. A Girls' Golf A girls' golf tournament was something new for A. H. S. this year, but the girls showed exceptional skill for beginners. The matches were all very close, the winners getting their holes by close margins. The girls who entered were: Loretta Sullivan, Catherine Macliay, Bernice Smith, Christine Marshall, Elaine Hammond, Mary Reyes, Barbara LeVitl, and Leta Watson. Elaine was the victor when the tournament finally Boys' Golf Although no matches were held with other schools this year, the boys had quite a bit of good practice, and a promising team seems to be looming tip for next year. The boys' Low Medal Golf Tournament, which was held in May, was won by Sal- vador Reyes with a total of 1-l-l for the thirty-six holes. The tournament was very in- teresting, having ten conestauts playing for the huge Beesley Cup, which was donated to the school by Mr. R. M. Walker, a good friend of Avalon High. Those who participated in the golf match were: Ralph German, ISS, Francis Fel- trop, 1683 Truxton Ross, 1955 Edgar Harrison, 185, Parlane Reid, 182, Otilio Ortez, 0005 Toby Garcia, 1685 Bert Scott, 163 5, and last, btttnot least, the winner, Salvador Reyes, 144. phy awarded. l came to a close.

King, is a tnan of means at1d one who has nevermade a success as a father because he has spoiled his family and relations by allowing them to sponge on himg the maid, Corinthia, played by Kathryn Dunkle, is a very sensible type of person and one who does her best to smooth out the fatnily dififi- eultiesg lierne Slaughter, as ,lulie De Witt, Mr. King's married eldet' daughter, insists upon herself and her husband living with her father, Clinton DeVVitt, played by Jack l-fewer, is an itnmaculate fellow, the sort with few brains and no ambitions: Catherine Kfacliay, as Aunt Abby Rocker, sister-in-lfaw of Mr. King, devotes her time to clubs and social workg liva King, played by jewel Wfatson, is Mr. King's younger daughter, and although spoil.ed, still has more consideration for her father than the restg Fred lierning. as fir. llelamater, the family physician, is one of lCva's suitorsg Horace Pilgrim, played by l'i'lward lfeltrop, an uncle of Mr. King, suffers from a little bit of everything taccording to hintself onlybg Thomas Wilkiiisott, as Adatn Smith, who is manager for Mr. King's South American rubber plantation, is a romantic sort and knows nothing of modern family lifeg and Lord Andrew Gordon, played by Arthur Goulding, is a fortune- hnnting Scotchman who is very much in love with Eva. The opening'scene is on bill day, the first of the tnonth, and Nlr. King is in a perfect. rage. Most naturally, the whole fatnily is greatly disturbed at the way Mir. King is repritnanding them, and when he finally announces that they are all to move to an old farm for the summer, th.ey decide that it is time to do something. They plan to get Dr. Delamater to tell Mr. King that he is sick and to prescribe a long tripg bttt the whole scheme is sunk when Uncle l-lorace, who was left out of things, gives away the secret. The great change cotnes with the arrival of Adam Smith, Mfr. King's tnanager. Mr. Smith has spent the greater part of his life up the Amazon away from civilization and consequently knows nothing of modern fatnily life. Smith does not want to go back to his work, and finally King persuades him that they should trade places. Nr. King calls the fatnily together and announces his intention of going to South America and leaving Adam in charge of the fatnily. Of course, the family is shocked and quite displeased. The second act discloses a much upset hottsehold. Adam, very disgusted at the conduct of the family, has shut down on the money. liveryone bttt Eva and Corinthia has done his best to tnake Adam miserable. lfva tnakes a decision between her two suitors by announcing her engagement to Lord Andrew Gordon. Adam decides that something has to be done to cure the fatnily of its shiftless ways, and finally hits upon the plan of annottncing Mr. King's rttin. Things take a d.ecided turn. llr. Delamater proves himself a fortune-htmter by leaving, and everyon.c looks for work. The third act finds things quite changed: Uncle 1-lorace has becotne a life insurance agent: Clinton is a salestnan for a clothing companyg Aunt Abby is ntarriedg Andt'ew Gordon has dropped his title, and is running a livery stable, whif.e Eva, julie and Corin- thia, with the help of Adam, have moved out to the old King farm, where they are raising chickens and bees. Adam's true worth is really appreciated by the family after he shows them how to make out with this new life and still be satisfiedf The family is gathered at the farm for a Thanksgiving dinner when Mr. King makes his appearance, to the surprise and joy of everyone. He is dazed to Find his family en- gaged in a really sensible occttpation for once, aml detnands an explanation. Adam is forced to give away his whole scheme, but, with their change of disposition, the fatnily is eager to forgive him. The curtain falls after Adam and Eva have discovered themselves very nmch in love with 'each other. The play was made complete by many minor plots and clever speeches, affording laughs for the audience throughout. C233 t 455. Qg5yQ+i- 1bTEHxEToHiQUm+?2?+ QF- QQ ii ll ,nil . ' ..

O1'Chestra OR the past two years the students have wanted to organize an orchestra, and at last their hopes have been realized. They were very fortunate in getting Mr. A. T. Stevens as director. 'He had the orchestra well started, when on account of the pressure ot other work, it was necessary for hint to resign. This left the orchestra without a director for three weeks, and then. Rliss Fox agreed to till the vacancy. Due to the work of Mr. A. T. Stevens, Miss Fox and Sterling Young, the orchestra has made great Girls' Glee Club Hliiilf HAVE lil'il'IN 'IWVO interesting programs presented by the Glee Club this yearg the first was a group of Christmas Carols and the second was an opefetta, Lady Frances, which was given by the girls on Feb. 14.

Mary Reyes Chorus: Audrey Jones, Violet Watson, llelene Nassau, Charlotte llowdle, Loretta Sullivan, Maxine Carson and Mildred Sprinkle. This operetta was clever in both lyric and theme, the latter dealing with the snobber- ict: of a group of girls in a sorority house. 'l'heir poor little maid, Frances, was most unreasonably overworked. When they read in the paper that a certain Lady Frances, late of the United Kingdom, was studying American social conditions as a maid under the assumed name of llridget O'Harrigan, thev were greatly excited and more so when the uncouth liridget herself arrived to seek a position in their organization. 'lihey were disappointed, indeed, when this worthy departed, because she thought they were crazy for paying her Sltlll a week, and doing all the work themselves. At this juncture their little maid, lfrances, gave notice and revealed herself as the real Lady Frances, creating a humorous climax to a charming production.

All en- tering seventh graders and new girls were initiated into the League with an attrac tive candle ceremony. l.ater the constitution was revised, an- installalion ceremony was held for the Znd semester commissioners, and a point sys- tem was devised whereby the girls may work for the three degrees of member- ship: 'llhe purple degree, the gold degree, and star degreeg the insignia of these de- grees will be indicated by a felt mono- grant. 'llhe programs have been in charge of the different classesg it has been most interesting to observe how much talent our girls' student body has: our parties for l'lallowe'en, Christmas, St. Valentine's Day, and our April picnic at l'ebbly, with their games, prizes, dainty refreshments and favors have been peppy atifairs which we have all enjoyed immensely. ln November the Girls' League in con- junction with the Boys' Circle, gave two one act plays at the Strand. The girls who represented our organization in The Box of Monkeys were: Betty Hewcr, Margie Daly, Barbara LeVitt, Vivian Harris and-Lois I-larrisong we were justly proud of all of them. We feel that it has been a year of ac- complishment for the League and as the commission is bursting with plans for next year, we are confident that the splendid spirit shown by the girls will continue to prove what they can do. Boys' CIFCIC Commissioners First Semester Second Semester llresident George Minney Glenn Hoover Secretary lired llerning jack Ijilrq-Q 'llreasurer Glenn Hoover jack Ijih-QQ klarselino lrlernandez Frank Burgess 'llhis club, although it has long been needed in Avalon High School, was form- .ed only this year. lt was instituted to bring about cooperation among the boys in dealing with their many problems which arise almost daily in and about school. 'l'he organization adopted Boys' Circle as its name, The executive connnittce in- cludes eight members: one elcctcd from each classy one elected by student body as a wholeg and a faculty advisor. Among the various things accomplished of ontstanding importance were the play, Gassed, the proceeds of which went for athleticsg and the organization of the Hooters' Clnb, another help to athletics. Another tradition which they have in- augurated is that of taking charge of the spring inter-class track meet, a responsi- bility which they bore very well this year. The evening of the track meet they took charge of a spirited Rally to give the Winning athletes a just reward for their efforts. 'llhe whole Junior and Senior High School participated and spent the evening around a delightful bonfire eating and cheering for the various classes and individuals who won renown. The general feeling of friendliness which it has .enhanced among the boys has been its greatest accomplishment, the rest of its work being only minor items to this worth-while project. -fAl.l 1.,,i V ' e , -1: ' V- ,.

Th.ere are three or four boys who have made radio sets. jimmy Carlson, Charles McClanahan and Tony linriquez have made one-tube sets, while Hob Woodson made a four- tube set. The only girl who was interest- ed in this work was Lois l-larrison. The Wireless Club has been quite a help to Mr. Robison, the Scoutmaster, and to some of the boys who are passing th.eir Scout tests. The liirst Class Scout must be able to send sixty letters a minute ami receive letters, while the Second Class Scout has to be able to send sixteen letters a minute and know the alphabetg also be able to send letters. Stamp Club Among the clubs started this y.ear there was one small organization called the Stamp Clttb. There wel'e only a few students interested, but with the aid of Betty l-lewer, president, and Miss Mclil- veen, Advisor, they soon got under way. At .each meeting some one gave a talk concerning stamps, or the members traded stamps among themselves. Some of the older collectors made up packets and sold them to the beginners, and the secretary, R1nnona Shear, sent away for stamps for the collectors. The hobby of collecting stamps is not only interesting, but it broadens one's mind. One learns who are the ruless of various foreign countries, :ind also something of the kinds of money. Many interesting geographical facts also are learned. i Gamma Mu Sigma ciilltllllfl Mu Sigma, the classical music club, has been a live wire association ever since its organization in October. The meetings, wlnch are held .every three weeks, have been .enjoyed by 'ev- eryon.e, as they usually end in a good initiation for the two performers. We greatly appreciate the time and pleasure that Miss liox has given us in this or- ganization, and we f.ecl that w.e have gained a great deal from this instructive society. C323 The Scholarship Society was estab- lished at Avalon High in 1924. Though a small organization, its membership is one of the greatest and most last- ing honors any student can achieve dur- ing his high school life. To qualify for this organization students must have at least 95 meritsg class graduates in solids totaling at least S pointsg a I counting 3 points, and a Z counting 1 pointg3 points from the point system. This year our Society sent two of its members to the banquet given by the Long lieach l'olyt.echnic Scholarship So- ciety. Members for the last semester were Lois I-Iarrison. Kathryn llunkle, Bernice Smith, lierne Slaughter. Swimming Club At the tirst of the school year some students got together and, with the help of Mr. lltmkle, organized the Swim- ming Club. First a president, lidgar Har- sison, and a. secretary, Kathryn l.Jnnkle,. were elected. Then a committee of four, composed of Roy Smith, Marseliuo Her- nandez, lidgar l-Iarrison and Truxton Ross, were chosen. These four met with Mr. llunkle and fortned the membership rules for the Club. The Club went swimming three times a week until it be- came too cold. Once they held a swim across the bay. In late spring they began again, and continued until school was out. At Catalina such an organization is very beneticial, because we have such perfect surroundings for swimming. Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club was organized at first semester, with advisor: Barbara I'arlane Reid, s.ec- the beginning of the Miss Hahn, faculty l.ev1tt, president,and relary. Several programs were presented to the Assemblies by the llramatic Club members. For the second semester Miss Hahn continued in her position as faculty advi- sor. Ramona Shear was presidentg Neal VVarwick, vice-president, and Charlotte Dowdle, secretary. On account of the change in the class schedule, the work of the Club has been discontinued. lt is hoped that the Club will continu.e next year. .gjgggg-.Qi + riinxE'roino.ue1+g+ ig,g Evening School llE EVENING SCHOOL has, in the last four years, grown to an insti- tution of considerable worth. In size of enrollment it is nearly equal to the Senior and junior l-ligh School day sessions combined. Classes began in October with three graded English classes, total- ing sixty-five foreign-born men and women, and a Citizenship class of men gathered from all over the world. A fifteen-minute period of singing intro- duced into the evening schedule awoke a decided feeling of comradeship among the students and teachers alike. 'l'he Christmas party given by the teachers was the outstanding delightful social event of the year. 'l'he second semester ushered in a combination typing and bookkeeping class, the total enrollment of which throughout the semester was thirty. This class continued until the middle of May with a larger average attend- ance than any previous typing class has had. Library INCE 'l'I?lE AVALON llIGll SCHOOL has been established our library collection of books and magazines has been steadily growing, and this year we are glad to report that a formal library has been added as a permanent part of our school equipment. 'l'he front room on the hrst tloor wing has been set aside to house our eleven or twelve hundred books, and to localize definite library service 1IHslL111lU1'Zl1'ltl Senior I ligh School. 1-flere, on the rapidly crowding shelves, is a comprehensive assemblage of books: Fic- tion for the story reader, reference for the student, research material for the scientist, and, in the periodical rack, magazines of various types make alluring appeal to both casual reader and reference worker. A librarian has been added to our faculty staff to see that this valuable collection is properly cared for, and both widely and wisely used. It is generally felt throughout the school that this, the establishment of a library, a long-needed and most essential addition, has been made for the educational benefit of the entire student body. Paren t- Teacher Assooia tion llE 1iOUND.'X'l'ION for the Parent-'l'eacher Association was lain in 1923. In the fall of 1924 it was thought wise to alliliate with the Fed- eration. Theipresident for 1924 was Mrs. XV. lil. Stone. Upon reor- ganizing this year in january, Mrs. Parlane Reid was elected president, Mrs. C. G. Grant treasurer, and Mr. C. H. Smith secretary. Our aim this year has been to interest all people in all children, and to link in common purpose the home, the school, and all other educative forces in the life of the child, to work for its highest good, and to learn, first hand, all school conditions and all town conditions affecting the child, to encourage all inlluences and conditions which make for the growth and safe- ty of the child. yVe believe that the principles which guide the Parent- Teacher Association are the embodiment of social service, civic virtue and patriotism. C333 .gaA+i- -s'i'nttts'11'on2o.trs1+-'3-.,+ Q,'p HALLOWE'EN PARTY The Freshies gave the Sophomores a party on October 3lst. As the guests arrived at the back door, they were greet- ed by spooks, doors banging, and weird noises and forms. As the party got under way the atmosphere changed considera- bly, so that every one was able to breathe easily and enjoy himself. The rooms,were artistically decorat.ed with orange aml black, while ghosts, pumpkins and witches were helpful in carrying out the Hallow- e'en spirit. The evening was spent in playing games and dancing, and it came to an end all too soon when the dainty refreshments were served. GAMMA MU SIGMA SOCIAL This new organization is a regular live wire. The members have put on informal receptions every three weeks throughout the year. The largest part of all these entertainments was given over to the musical selections. Many de- lightful repasts wese served at these func- tions. The year's activities were brought to a close in a most delightful way on june Sth. Each inember was allowed to invite three guests to a very enjoyable party at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Dun- kle. Each member gave a selection, and the rest of the even-ing was given to varied entertainments, in which everyone partici- pated. Tasty refreshments put the final touch on the evening's fun. CHRISTMAS PARTY The Girl's League gave a party the week before Christmas vacation, which was one of the most successful of the year. The assembly room, which was decorated in red and green Christmas mo- tifs, was very beautiful. Everyone re- ceived a mock Christmas gift from a pret- tily decorated tree. Games of all sorts were played, and many prizes were given. The refreslunents were hot chocolate and Santa Claus and Christmas tree cookies. BOYS' CIRCLE PARTY The boys decided that they would not let the girls get ahead of them, so they put on a regular stag party. The afternoon was spent in boxing and other indoor as well as outdoor sports. 4Many yells were given in honor of the school and prominent students. The eats consist- ed of cocoa and cake, tastefully served by the Boys' Circle conunissioners. Although many of the fellows professed to be stiff the next afternoon, they still acknowledged a good time. Q30 JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM The junior-Senior Prom was one of the foremost social events of the season, and was put over in quite a different manner than ever before. ln the past years this function was given in the form of a dance at the High School. This year it was a banquet and dance at the beautiful Hotel St. Catherine. Of course, every junior and Senior was there in his glad rags. Could such an activity be missed? Never! The tables were gorgeously decorated with Junior and Senior class colors, as well as exquis- ite flowers of early summ.er. Toasts and after-dinner speeches were given by the juniors and Seniors, after which all spent the remaining part of the evening dancing to the tune of the h3tel's delightful orchestra. SOPHOMORE BANQUET Well, now, isn't that just like those Sophomores to give a party and invite themselves? There must be a majority of Scotchmen in the class. Well, anyway, it was a delightful affair and everyone ate to his capacity. The meal was a sumptuous one and the table decorations were lovely enough 'to inspire anyone to eat. The remainder of th.e evening was spent in cards, so that everyon.e was greatly pleased with the evening's success. VALENTINE PARTY On St. Valentine's Day the Girls' League gave a lovely little party after school. Many games, -characteristic of the day, were played. Clever contests were held, for which prizes were awarded to the winners. The refreshments w.ere red lemonade and heart cookies. The girls closed the afterno0n's .entertaimnent by singing songs and giving yells. TORQUA PARTY As soon as the Torqua went to press, Miss Davidson decided that the staff could stand a little recreation after such hard work, so she gave them a party. The date was set for Monday evening, May 30. Bridge was the main feature of the party. The evening's fun was brought to a close after some very delightful re- freshments were served. It was quite a change to be able to forget our work and do nothing but enjoy ourselves. lt was really a relief to address one another without talking about work. Q,fag-si -is'1t'1iuis'1trorsao.'erf1t-.sg-f- fig EIGHTH GRADE PARTY The Eighth Grade boys were forced to give the girls of that class a party Cnot that th.ey didn't want to, for of course they didj, as the girls won in the con- test to see which sex could get their dues in first. Th.e gi1'ls all professed to have had a good time, and we know the boys did.. APRIL FOOLS' PARTY On April first the'Sohpomores enter- tained the lfreshies with a Backwards Party Cvery appropriatel. Everyone had to come dressed backwards, and the even- ing's amusements were also conducted in this odd manner. The party was a huge success, going over with a bang. A pa- rade was held to decide who was the most comically dressed guest, and of course, witl1 his head start, Jimmy Carlson won. He was presented with a maginificent box of rubber chocolates. The evening was spent in playing gam.es aml a delightful spread sent everyone home with a feeling of satisfaction. ALUMNI DANCE On March eleventh the Seniors gave the Alumni a dance to the tune of the Ava- lon Five. ln addition to dancing much time was given to reminiscing-for many of the gu.ests had not been back to the little old school for quite a while. Light refreslnnents, served between dances, completed the evening's success. The Alumni present were: Thomas Daly, Florence Feltrop, Edythe Stone, Malcolm Renton, John Minney, Edward Van Aelstyne, Betty Berning, Martha Meyer and Doris Wilcox. THE JUNIOR BANQUET The members of the junior Class gave a banquet for their mothers on May 6th. Everything was cooked by the Juniors and therefore very delieiotts. The tables were neatly decorated in class colors and spring flowers. The evening's entertainment con- sisted of cards and games and also some dancing. The mothers 'were all very pleased at the splendid cooking and the amusements given them. EASTER EGG HUNT The Seventh Grade decided to have one final childish spree just to prove that they hadn't grown too dignihed entering Jun- Hi, so they held an Easter Egg Hunt the week before Spring Vacation. Games helped to keep .everyone interested. GIRLS' LEAGUE WIENIE BAKE just before liaster Vacation the Girls' League gave a most enjoyable Wienie Bake at l'ebbly Beach. The girls made a fire to cook over and, while the water was boiling for chocolate, games were played to pass the time. The tasty spread was soon demolished by the hungry pic- nick.ers and the evening was given over to more games. Everyone went home tired but happy. FRESHMEN PARTY On Friday, May thirteenth, the Fresh- men gave a party to the Eighth grade. lsn't that just like the lireshies to pick such a dreadful date, but it didn't seem to phase anyone's good time, at that. The entertainment was furnished by games, dancing, and singing. Under the able eharperonage of Mrs. Sullivan, Mrs. Smith, Miss Fox and Mr. and Mrs. Pryor, everything went along perfectly. The party brok.e up after delightful re- freshments were served in the Cafeteria, which was tastefully decorated in blt1.e and white, Freshman class colors. THE PEP-RALLY Talk about fun, and pep, and eats! We surely had 'em at the Rally after th.e In- ter-Class Track and Field Meet. No one knew that there was so much pep in Ava- lon Hi as the Juniors showed that night. A large bonfire was started out on the athletic field where every one had roasted wienies and buns, drank hot chocolate, and toasted marshmallows. When everyone had eaten his fill, sever- al lusty yells soared in honor of the school, the various classes, and the h.eroes of the meet. The scores made by the classes and individuals were announced. Several songs finished the evening's fun. Everyone went home bubbling ov.er with joy and enthusiasm. Q5Fig+g+'riiu1E'roniio.uHL+i Ap I N Q7l4odern.Makeup and the Indian USQUENVAN opened his eyes and gazed curiuosly about him. At last had his wish been granted by the Great Spirit? He could see the land of his birth once more before returning forever to the Happy Hunt- ing grounds. He looked wonderingly at the men and women hurrying by. He was struck with amazement. 'llhe women were on the war-path! 'I'heir faces were covered with a white substance, while cheeks and lips llared a bright crimson. In his day men painted their bodies before going to war. A group of girls stopped near him, and he noticed that they were all painted. One of the girls took out a fluffy thing from a bag and dusted her face with it, leaving a white, powdery trail in its wake. She then 'took a small red tube and pressed it against her lips. Lo and behold! Her lips grew rosy red. Then she put her material back into the bag, which had a smooth, glittering surface on the inside of the cover. Susquewan was thoroughly astonished at the bravery of this maiden who put on her war paint in public. As he walked along he saw women everywhere who had on paint, and he expected them to yell suddenly and grab their tomahawks. So he wandered all day among painted women and grew tired of seeing nothing else than masked faces. Poor Indian! He was ignorant of the fact that the women were trying to be beautiful. Suddenly he saw a man with rouge on his cheeks coming hurriedly toward him. He grasped his tomahawk and prepared for bat- tle. But the young man passed quietly on and went to join a powdered girl waiting for him. Suscluewan sighed, turned away, and went back to the Great Spirit-went back to the Happy Hunting Grounds where men, and men only, use paint for decoration when they are going on the war-path.
