dhr iBnnmrratm Q )....... t»M'0 --------Tt 1 ••■-•••t'Hn) -■ -f'O We gave a wonderful class play Called “Aaron Boggs, Freshman.” We made our hundred bones despite Our friend, the weather man. And yet we have our failings As all the teachers tell, For we never bring our books to class No matter how they yell. We do not study very hard And sometimes fail in test. But still we know the Juniors Are Avon High School’s best. IN MEMORIAM Departed from school life To enter the blissful state of matrimony On April 4, 1921, MARY CRABILL “Gone but not forgotten” SJmttnr Aitfi Wanted: A new set of stunts to replenish my old supply—R. K. Douglas. Found: Poetical genius Maude Yeoman. Needed: A larger waste basket for Junior chewing gum—C. S. Tibbs. Wanted: A new style of hairdressing. We’re tired of puffs—Junior girls. To rent: A large supply of slightly used chewing gum. Easy terms—L. C. Tatman. Wanted: A book strong enough to resist all violence—Miss Jackson. Needed: Some new excuses. Must be plausible—P. Sundberg. Notice: I hereby declare that I will be responsible for debts contracted by no one but my self—Rollin Douglas. Wanted: A quieter place to sleep—Raymond Drake. Wanted for adoption: A half dozen peppy boys—Junior girls. There was a tall student named Verne, Most lessons he always did learn; But the value of English He could never distinguish, Its usage could never discern. There was a Junior named Phil-ip, His classes he often did skip. And the things he did larn, Didn’t amount to a darn; Howe’er long at the fount of learning he’d sip.

 O alir Uaumrratu} 1 —- —Hs M Wt ilmtinra By MAUDE YEOMAN The Junior Class of Avon High Is the snappiest class in school; We have a bunch of charming girls And boys that don’t play pool. Howard is our president, Our baby fond and dear, And Vera our vice-president With voice both loud and clear. There’s Rollin with his maple seeds Who Miss Jackson does torment; And Irene so tall and fair Whose mind toward art is bent. There’s Philip who for basket ball Is noted far and wide, And Nettie in whose music The Junior class takes pride. There’s Doris who the mumps did take Just before our play. And Edith who does giggle on Throughout the livelong day. Then there are the Yeoman twins For scholarship they’re known; And Sadie, who o’er Latin I, Doth often sigh and groan. There’s Verne who oft in history class Does answer, “I don’t know;” And Celeste, the smallest in the class, Though sometime she may grow. There’s Jessie who did enter late And straightway capture Putt; Then Anna who works faithfully And no class has ever cut. There’s Eula who in every thing Does always take a hand. And Edna, her especial friend. Their fights are simply grand! There’s Lester from a farm nearby Who’s lots of fun this year, And Leone who with Raymond Rheim does go In weather bright or drear. There’s Ruth who in the picture house Does play the pan of tin, And Raymond who to chewing gum Did stick through thick and thin. 3)M!
