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.

A 0,ali' uf tjr Swpljfl jfigT THE bend where the Merriman River flows through the beautiful valley of Fullerton, there Nestles quietly the ancient castle of Heston, sur- rounded by a great Gray Wall. This is the home of a Coy (McCoy) little maiden named Bell. At the unfortunate death of her parents when she was but a child, she was left in charge of the butler Davis. Bell has rarely been away from the castle in ail her eighteen years, but tonight she is invited to the Halls of Carty, where a grand ball is to be given by the Mings, Grabills and Gilletts, who live in the historic town of Sailer, near Darwin. Her maid, Merrick, has just delivered the invitation, and the mad Carolling of yon little bird is not to be compared with the song in her heart, because tonight she will again meet her gallant young lover, Sir Drake. « Bell has now become Lady Drake. My lord and lady take up their abode at castle Heston and are destined to be happy. So, farewell to the peaceful valley of Fullerton. By ANNA GRAY, ’22.
