JANUARY We ended our gala Christmas vacation With a great big New Year’s celebration. All basketball fans to Rome City went, To our second team the trophy was sent. The semester ended on the tenth this year With stiff exams from our teachers dear. FEBRUARY Victory over Angola, to us was a treat To end up the season, Garrett we beat. Our team prepared for the basketball tourney; All fans to K’ville made their journey. The Panthers were victors in the sectional meet; But at Fort Wayne, they met with defeat. MARCH The juniors did the class tourney up grand, Down at Manchester we were proud of our band. The F. F. A. skating party brought each one his fall; But amusement and fun were provided for all. The seniors worked extra hard each day To learn each part of the senior play. APRIL The play was given two nights in a row; The Spring Concert, was also a success, you know. With much hurrying and scurrying the annual went to press. The juniors gave a banquet that topped all the rest. We then took a trip and had “Senior Day.” At Baccalaureate they showed us “‘Life’s Way.” Commencement arrived with both joy and tears; We accepted our diplomas, the reward of four years. And now, we bid you all adieu; May these happy school memories remain with you.

CALENDAR Listen, my public, and you shall hear Of Avilla High 1940 and 41 year. Now gather around and give your attention A few high points we would like to mention. SEPTEMBER We started to school in early fall; Our first activity was playing softball. Ligonier beat us our very first game; We struck back at Wolf Lake with quite a gain. The class officers were elected for the coming year; Mr. Helmer was chosen by the seniors dear. OCTOBER The P. T. A. organized anew; Wawaka and Cromwell in ball we beat, too. The Band Supper was a success and showed a gain. To Albion we lost our last softball game. The Freshmen Initiation did the pupils up right, When they were done they sure were a sight. The junior play turned out for the best, Our few days’ vacation gave us a rest. NOVEMBER We beat Salem Center for our first basketball game, Though we lost to Wolf Lake, it wasn’t with shame. To North Manchester the band took a trip; The Armistice Day program we didn’t let slip. The Albion and Leo games deserved celebration, Then came the long looked for Thanksgiving vacation. On the twenty-first, Miss Mary was wed, From the first grade pupils, tears were shed. Wolcottville defeated us for our second loss. We beat Huntertown by merely a toss. DECEMBER The senior pictures brought much chat; What did we do to deserve faces like that? We beat, but not easily, the Ashley game; Ligonier and Cromwell followed; results, the same; The Holiday Spirit was felt everywhere; The cry of “vacation” soon filled the air.
