We, the class of 1951, proudly dedicate this yearbook to Mrs. Nina Walker, because of her patience, under- standing, and Integrity on our behalf. We shall always remember her for her never falling assistance and inspiration. rrf 1 j a Back when the only education available was the survival of the fittest. Miss Ann Parker went from house to house teaching the youth of Bight Mile Tree. Later she divided off a section of her barn and this was the school. The first real schoolhouse In Avoca was the Griswold Jewelry Store and taught up to 8th grade. In 1870, a wooden school building 40'x60' was built on Chase Street. The school was admitted to University of the State of New York as a Junior School In 1893. June 1896 saw the first Regents class graduated from Avoca High School. In 1901, Avoca School was recognized as a first class High School and by 1902 the building had been enlarged, a flagpole purchased, and the 70 book library increased sufficiently. The school was again enlarged In 1923 when the Union Free School building was completed on Oliver Street. By 1936 the enrollment had grown to over 300 in a school built for no more than 275. This same year the Board of Ed- ucation was given authority to Investigate centralization of the surrounding districts of Avoca, Howard, Wheeler, Prattsburg, Frement, Cohoeton and Bath. The contract for the building of our new school was given to Charles A. Vezzetl, Inc. of Palisades, N.J. and the building was begun in December, 1937 being ready for admittance of pupils In September 1938.

The Class of 1952 started Its high school career with 45 students. During our Freshmen year, the class had various skating parties and two class parties. In the Sophomore year, the class began its money-raising activities for a trip to Washington with a round and square dance. The Junior class with its 29 scholars started the year with a bang. A stage show and amateur show combination realized a handsome profit. Other big projects of the year were a dance, bake sale, spaghetti supper. Junior Play, and the Junior Prom. The officers for the year were as follows; President......................... Norman Ovens Vice President.................... Delbert Thorsen Secretary.........................

Daniel Remchuk is busy taking care of his part of the Air Force. He has Just received his advancement, making him a four star General. Rose Marie Riley is doing Just what we thought she always would do. She is the proprietess of Hughes' Howard Estate. Marjorie Saltsman has become the present day Florence Nightengale after her gallantry in nursing back to health a certain guy stationed in Puerto Rico. ...... . , __ Edward Shaut—when we came to look him up, we looked high and low, under chairs, in back of couches, even looked under his mother's linoleum on her kitchen floor. But finally, we happened to turn our gaze to Cornell University, where we found Edward—teaching Ag., no less. Harold Shill, after'proclaiming to make the Marines his career, has received his B.A.R. Carl Van Husen, after receiving recognition for his bravery in rire- fighting, has become head forester ranger at Yellowstone National Park. John Vasko, that fearless, reckless, no-good son-of-a-gun, has finally achieved the honor of being President of the Safety Driver's Association. Please don't ask us how he did it. And as we come to the bnd of our list, we find Ann Winslow has chucked her WAC uniform and is happily raising a football team. Someday, as you travel along that future road, perhaps you'll meet one of us, and if you do, don't be surprised at anything you find, as this has been an exceptional class — Thls class of 1951. Senior, Infants L m. 1 ora.T“ • A V' t VJL U a j4. — £5 If £Tuk.nQj iJL PROPHECY Let's take a trip into the future of the Class of 1951. Here we see the members of our class going about their dally business with all the dignity that only our class could muster. We look into the household of the former Miss Elsie Allen.

Any time that you care to, you can now go to a side show and see the famous Theodore Kuth, the chief midget.
