VERA BRANDT, ’22. Qau Drrams nf a SwtUir I have often wondered At this Senior Class of ours; If our life’ll be free from blunders, And our pathway filled with flowers; If the lessons that we hate. And the pleasures that we love. Won’t prove on some unceitr.in date. The best things are several rungs above. I have often wondered In this Senior Class of ours. Why the girls like to look as loud as thunder. Pile high their hair in ratty towers: Why they wear their dresses short Like the days in late December; They are, however, just the sort A feller likes ter remember. I have often wondered 'Bout this Senior Class of ours; When twenty years has been dragged under. If the teachers still will look as sour As they do on Monday Morn; If the boys will still be dreaming About the girl who has torn His every thought away. VERNE C. CONWAY, ’22. CThr Sonmrrang izxprrimrnt 52 Scene: Laboratory of Avon Community High. Time: May 9, 1922. Dramatis Personae: Mr. Reeve, instructor; Members of Class of ’22. Act I. Discovered: Seniors seated about tables fingering apparatus, as usual. Mr. Reeve: Today we have our last laboratory experiment in Physics No. 52, I believe it is. Now read your instructions carefully before you begin. (A few min- utes of silence in which class feverishly reads the experiment.) Mr. Reeve: Now everyone give me his attention for a few minutes while I ex- plain this apparatus. It is a very powerful telescope which enables us to see into the future. So far as I know it is the only instrument of its kind in existence. Be very careful when you manipulate the lever which adjusts the lens because the mech- anism is very delicate and the least little jar might destroy our chances of seeing into the future. Doris (aside): That means you, Verne. Verne: Now Doris, shut up. Doris (still in whisper): You better go last, Verne, so that it won’t make any difference if you did break it. It would be a shame to spoil the last day by not break- ing something. (Verne contemplates Doris in silence, trying to think of a fitting re- ply)- Mr. Reeve: Now everyone must tell just what he sees and what conclusions he draws. Since we have only one set of apparatus each one will have to come sepa- rately. Verne, you may perform the experiment first. Verne: (rising and slowly approaching telescope) Aw, they always pick on me. (looks) Oh, boy! Mr. Reeve: (anxiously) What do you see? Verne: A row of pretty girls kneeling before me. Mr. Reeve: And what are your conclusions? Verne: Gosh, I only wish I knew. Mr. Reeve: (smiling) You need not be alarmed. It simply means that you will be an eloquent evangelist. Nettie! Nettie: (looking through lens) I see myself playing in a great concert and some- body is singing. I don’t know who it is. Mr. Reeve: Look more closely. You surely know him. Nettie: Raymond! ! ! (faints). (Much commotion until she is revived.) Raymond: No wonder she fainted! Mr. Reeve: Vera! (Vera looks in telescope) What do you see? Vera: (rubbing lens and looking again) It’s funny, but I can’t see anything but a mark. Howard: Well, isn’t that enough? Mr. Reeve: Philip, next, (pause) What do you see? Philip: There’s a man at a table working on some kind of device. I don’t know what it i$. Lester: If he’s working, Phil, then it surely isn’t you. Mr. Reeve: Oh, yes, it is Philip and he’s a great inventor. But don’t you recog- nize the invention? Think! It’s something you need very badly, (pause.) Why an automatic thinker, of course! Sadie! Slip Ulumnrrann m .......—■♦ D Sadie: (looking into telescope) I seem to be teaching something Latin, I guess, but everyone seems to be talking in a language I can’t understand. May: Then I’m sure it’s Latin. Mr. Reeve: (glancing at clock) Our time is getting short so we’ll have to hurry. Edith, you may come next. What do you see? Edith: I’m having an awful time, running around to luncheons and clubs and lectures. But I don’t know what it means. Mr. Reeve: (slightly provoked) Think! You can all reason these things out if you only use a little head woik. What does it mean? (pause) Class? Class: (in unison) That she’s a modern woman. Mr. Reeve: To be sure! Eula! Eula: (peering into the instrument) Oh, I see lots of white things jumping about in a line. And there’s a great big white thing bobbing about in front. Mr. Reeve: And what are your conclusions? Eula: I don’t know, I’m sure. Lester: (in loud whisper) Ghosts! Mr. Reeve: (paying no attention to Lester) Doris? Doris: That Eula is conducting a class in Greek dancing. Mr. Reeve: Of course! Lester! Lester: (after pause) I’m standing before the Justice of the Peace. I must be arrested or something, (pause) And there’s a lady standing by me! Class roars with laughter) Mr. Reeve: (smiling) You’d better look again. Perhaps you’re getting married. Lester: (obeying instructions) Why the justice is Maude! (looks again) And the lady is Doris! ! ! (collapses with joy) Doris: (blushing) Oh, this is so sudden! (bell rings) Mr. Reeve: Only five minutes so we’ll have to hurry. Howard, next. Howard: (looking) I’m writing something -sport news, I guess. Mr. Reeve: Correct so far, but go on. Auto racing, baseball, prize fighting or what? Howard: Auto racing, I suppose, because I see an automobile coming amid a cloud of dust, (silence) Whoopie! it’s a “Douglas Racer.” Mr. Reeve: Yes, to be sure. And what do you conclude from that? Howard: That Doug is a great automobile manufacturer. Mr. Reeve: All right. Edna! Edna: I’m sitting in a cozy little living room demonstrating cosmetics to some- body. Why it’s Celeste. Mr. Reeve: Go on. Is that all? Edna: Celeste is apologizing for a wierd whistle that comes from the next room. I guess she married a Whisler. Mr. Reeve: Quite true. Next, Eileen. Eileen: This old thing must not be working right. I see Irene working at a can- vas—and there is Florence posing for her but I’m not there. Mr. Reeve: Oh, yes you are. Look again, closely. Eileen: Oh, yes, over in the other end of the room. I seem to be coaching a play or something. Mr. Reeve: That is precisely what you are doing. May! (bell rings imperatively) Mr. Reeve: Class is excused. Class: That’s not fair; May has to perform the experiment too. Verne: Oh that isn’t necessary. We all know she’ll be an old maid school ma’am.

First—To those who remain behind, we bestow our superior intellectual ability, our amiable dispositions, and our delightful manners, to be held in trust by our mutual friend, the Janitor, and doled out in small portions when needed. Second We, as a class, give to any student who wishes to avail himself of the opportunity, the privilege of taking any subject for as many consecutive years as the faculty deems best. Third—-I, Eula Botkin, do leave to Dorothy Nessel my executive ability, fliita- tiousness, and coy little ways. Fourth I, Vera Brandt, do bestow upon Ronald Hectorne, the power to hit the Mark, providing that he pick her up after she falls for him. Fifth—I, Verne Conway, do give and bequeath to William Carroll my position of honor at the right hand of all teachers in the study hall.

Eighth—I, Raymond Drake, do hereby will my unexhausted scientific knowledge, and my privilege of sleeping during school hours to the Right Honorable Arthur Gillette. Ninth—I, Sadie Kreps, grant to Lucille Bell my right to sit at the head table in Physics class. Tenth—I, Nettie Mills, do hereby bequeath my quiet ways to certain noisy Juniors, trusting that the acquisition of the above-mentioned quality will increase their popularity with the faculty. Eleventh—I, Edith Pool, do impart to Anna Gray my “gift of gab.” Twelfth—I, Eileen Spurgeon, do will and bequeath my popularity to any Sopho- more girl who is clever enough to retain it. Thirteenth—I, Irene Spurgeon, do bestow upon Corinne Yeoman my artistic abil- ity, in order that she may be my successor as official school artist. Fourteenth I, Doris Sundberg, in conjunction with my constant companion, Vera, do hereby bequeath our favorite expressions—“Oh, you darn fool!,” “Hot Dog!” and “Oh, blooey!”—to Douglas Spenser, that he may acquire the ability to converse in- telligently when occasion demands. Fifteenth—I, Philip Sundberg, do leave to Darwin Dallefeid a round-trip ticket to Prairie City, non-transferable and void except on Sunday evenings, in the hopes that he may develop my Monday morning yawn and perpetual bad cold to serve as an alibi. Sixteenth I, Howard Tatman, do transfer my book on “Successful Yell-leading” to William Carroll, empowering him to lend it to all others desiring to fill this po- sition of fame.

How they held it in the school building Down in the study hall. The Sophs of every clime were there. Of high and low degree. All with their manners polished, In sweet romantic glee. They met down in the study hall In the damp and rainy air. Each in his youthful lovliness, Expecting a feed so rare. The place cards shining brightly Showed where each should go, And none were left to Marvel, Louise and Fern had worked so. Maurine and Eunice from the south, And Naomi from the west Waited on the tables. Dressed in their very best. Thus everything went swimmingly ’Mongst perfumed girls and boys, And every teacher appeared save two That couldn’t share our joys. Corinne, Faith, and Eula in the kitchen toiled For the champions’ emulation. Knowing full well they would get A “hand-out” ration. The only boys that sent regrets And really couldn’t come Were Lloyd, at home with chicken-pox, And “Bake” and Teach,—on a bum (?) One Sophomore at the table Grew quite ill, we regret, But everyone knew too It wasn’t “toast” Neice’d “et.” Here’s to the boys with skill so rare, Who played and won the game; And here’s to the girls who fed them all And share with them the fame.

[ O Jfrrshmnt N the first day of school last September, rather bewildered and self con- scious, we entered as Freshmen the halls of Avon Community High School. We arrived safely in Study Hall where we were given our orders, but when it came time for classes to pass, we were much at sea concerning where to go. We formed in little groups in order to gain the protection of numbers, and finally we found the class room. Our first few days were rather overpowering for us, but after a few days’ con- fusion, we became accustomed to our new surroundings and began to act quite nat- urally. Now we are more at home than the Seniors, more important than the Juniors, and more dictatorial than the Sophomores. Since we are in High School, we find that those stately creatures formerly known by us as “teachers” are now nothing less than “faculty.” Under their direction we are doing our best to survive this, our first year in High School and pass in safety to our second year in Avon High. We undoubtedly are going to be a famous class and have started on the road to fame already. Two of our number, Donovan Myers and Frank Arthurs, were members of the First Basket Ball Team. Kenneth Schrodt and Jack Sundberg helped the second team get two victories from Abingdon. Our class is the only one represented in the girls’ vocal contest. It will be hard for the judges to decide whether Berneice Mings, Florence Jennings or Orel Day will go to the county meet at Lewistown. Leroy Griffith, Leota Hovell and Doris Hollister are making enviable records in Algebra I. Irene Mitchell and Ada Swanson captured upperclassmen at the opening of school and from present indications, they are going to keep them. Raymond Bell can both ask and answer questions. Douglas Spencer has the ability to produce a blush at any time with little or no cause. Rex Jennings and Frank Snapp are our giggling boys. When we were eighth graders we had one “class wart,” Eugene Baker, but now that we are H. S. Freshmen, one is not enough so Melvin Schisler came from “Saintie” to be our new “wart.” Our industrious bookkeepers are Ercell Serven, Raymond Pattison and John Wall.

The program was especially interesting to those who had heard the recoids made for the Edison Company by these Hawaiians. On November twenty-ninth Tom Corwine, the impersonator, gave an un- usual and amusing entertainment, making good his reputation of being one of the best entertainers on the lyceum platform. On January sixth, bean W. Lhamon gave an interesting and instructive lecture. The fourth number of the course was given on January twenty-seventh by the Ben Hur Company. The program consisted of vocal and instrumental numbers, read- ings, and impersonations. The last number was given February eighth by Rita Smith who substituted for June Elliot. Her songs and readings were enjoyed by a large audience. The course for the next year has been selected and promises to be an unusually good one. A number that should interest eveiyone is the Harold Jubilee Singers. This quartette has the rare distinction of having entertained the president of the United States and members of Congress, as well as many of the distinguished rulers and statesmen of Europe. The lecturer of the course, William D. Parry, is a well known speaker. At var- ious times he has successfully filled pulpits in some of the largest churches of the East, and during the war was interested in “Y” social work. The Metropolitan Glee Club is among the successful popular quartettes of today. Their program consists of vocal and instrumental numbers and readings. The Eugene Page Trio has a splendid program of musical numbers on mandolin, guitar, and piano. Eugene Page 1 as been recognized as the world’s greatest man- dolinist and banjoist. It is hoped that the people of the community will continue to patronize these entertainments, so that they may not only enjoy the programs but also help the high scool to furnish some of “the better things.” CElir mint r rami ={' f ahr (6lrr (Club Standing Naomi Pittman, Maude Yeoman, Eula Nance, Eunice Hollister, Orel Day.

The plot has to do with the struggle for supremacy in a furniture factory, between Ted, the rightful heir, and Ira Stone, an adventurer, who is trying to gain control of the business. It is Stone’s plan to move the factory to the city and it is to the interest of Mollie, the Inn housekeeper, to keep it where it is.. All stockholders must register with the attorney by midnight preceeding the meeting, and Ted has failed to arrive. As a last chance to save the factory from Stone, Mollie and Skeet, the Inn clerk, persuade a young civil engineer to imperson- ate the missing Ted. The plan seems to be working well when Jim Ryker, the at- torney announces that he is personally acquainted with the real Ted. Then the law- yer mysteriously disappears and the engineer is presented as the young heir. Ted is kept busy trying to escape from Miss Loganberry, a spinster, who, years ago, has been Ted’s lover. While things seem to be all right, Ted comes home, bring- ing his bride, Elsie; Mollie hides them in the cellar. Aunt Jubilee, the cook, hear- ing them, believes there are spooks in the basement. Before long, however, Elsie is discovered by her cousin, Diana Garwood, a guest at the Inn. Diana, upon learning that Elsie and Ted have eloped, immediately sends for Elsie’s father, Senator Mc- Coikle. When the Senator arrives, he tells that his new son-in-law is not Ted Gil- more; the engineer confesses that he is the real Ted. Ryker explains his mysterious disappearance by the fact that he was trying to escape from Henrietta Darby, an Inn guest and his deserted wife. CAST Skeet Kelly ..... Diana Garwood .

The local jokes were especially appreciated by the audience. The third act, “The Fall of the House of Stoneyfeller,” was enthusiastically re- ceived, the originality rendering it especially good. The next, “Lord Ullin’s Daughter,” received much applause. The audience was entertained at “Harmony Junction” by songs and jokes.

Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Henderson are stranded in Mrs. Wiggin’s establish- ment, awaiting the delayed arrival of Maiston Bobbs, the fiance of Jean Graham, atheriiie Henderson’s sister. At last, hei aided by Obadiah Stump, chore boy for Mrs. Wiggins, Mr. Bobbs makes 1 is appealance. But instead of Jean’s fiance, he is Ma.ston’s cousin, Robert V. Bobbs, tl.e bashful one. His bashfulness causes great excitement lor he is taken lor a burglar, ai rested, and taken to jail, before he can finally explain. He brings a letter to Jean from Marston, which is supposed to of- fer an excuse for his delay, but in reality is to “Fascinating Fluffy.” Katherine, who has been married two years and believes all men are superfluous, induces Jean to break her engagement but soon Marston appears on the scene and, with a great deal of persuasion and a little diplomatic lying, makes things all right. At this point Celesta Vanderpool, a movie actress and the “Fluffy” of Marston’s letter, ar- rives at tl.e boaiding louse with Julia, her French maid. Fluffy is also engaged to Marston, and upon receiving the letter intended for Jean, has come to Greenville to conduct an investigation. Marston avoids complications by telling each girl that it was Robert who had written ti.e letter she received. Finally under pressure, he yields to the charms of Fluffy, leaving Jean to her own devices. But Jean is con- tented, tor sl.e prefers tl.e “bashlul Mr. Bobbs” to the forward one.

Now both of us have got to sleep up here. I believe that’s the porter going by. Stick your _______ head out and tell him to call us at five-thirty so that we’ll be sure to have time to dress in the morning before we get off at Cripple Creek.” “Stop pulling the covers off of me. You are too, pulling them off. I paid as much money for this berth as you did, and I’m going to have my share of the covers. Gee whiz! listen to that guy snoring across the aisle. Wonder what he thinks this is? For two cents I’d heave a shoe over.” “For the love of Pete, stop shoving me! First thing you know you will have me falling out in the aisle. Then there would be a show for everybody on the car. Hurry up and turn out the light, I want to go to sleep. Oh you don’t either have to read.

Had anyone been eavesdropping, he might have heard some typical feminine conversation, for the principal themes under discussion were frocks and boys. And why not? Tomorrow was the date for the most important social event of the sea- son—the annual formal dance! “I wonder what in the world Martha is doing!” exclaimed Laura impatiently. “1 am so anxious to see her dress! It surely must be here by this time.” Further conversation was interrupted by the entiance of Martha herself who came in breathless, loaded down with a huge unwieldy package. Hastily pulling off her sweater, she sank down on the floor with the box and began to struggle with the wrapping. “Get the scissors, somebody!” she demanded. “I just can’t wait to see my dress.” The girls gathered around in great excitement and gasped with delight as Martha lifted out the dress, a filmy mass of jade green chiffon sprinkled with tiny gold beads. Underneath lay little gold slippers to match. “You’ll look perfectly adorable in it even if you do have red hair,” said Dorothy teasingly. Martha did not grow indignant as she usually did when her hair was mentioned; instead she sighed softly. “I do wish I could get rid of these awful freckles! I’m going to try some of that new dope. It ought to do the trick -cost a dollar!” “Why, Martha Mary Clarke!” challenged Laura. “You haven’t such a thing as a freckle! You’re just fishing for compliments, so there!” “I have too! There are three great big ones right on my nose!” contradicted the afflicted one tragically, running for the mirror to see if they were still there. As she passed the student table, however, a letter with a type written address caught her eye. “Where did this come from?” she demanded, hastily tearing open the envelope. Why girls, listen to this. It’s from Mr. Smith, the proprietor of the Kandy Kitchen! He says that if I don’t pay my account of four dollars and sixty three cents before to-morrow night he’ll tell the faculty!” “Goodness gracious, girls!” shrieked Dorothy, jumping to her feet. “Do you sup- pose the rest of us have bills too? I know tl at I owe more than that.” A search in the other rooms produced similar documents and each girl was busy with her problem as to know how the bill could be paid for it was near the end of the month and their allowances were long since gone. Left by herself, Martha viewed the situation from every possible angle. She had no jewels nor expensive clothing to pawn, for her mother believed in her dressing simply. She might pawn her new dress, but then what could she wear to the party? She had invited a friend of 1 er brotlei’s, a college man, so she must look nice. Yet wearing a white organdy or even staying away from the dance entirely was to be preferred to ignominious expulsion. But where could she pawn the diess even if she wanted to do so? Suddenly she sat erect. Hadn’t she been told that Sarah Ann’s dress had not come? She would rent her diess to Sarah Ann. Steeling herself for the interview, she gathered the fluffy little dress in both arms and went to Sarah Ann’s room. She was glad the slippeis were too small anyway. In spite of her abundant allowance and her instant desire to wear the beautiful CLlir Snuntrraun D a dress Sarah Ann was too selfish or in her own words, “too thrifty” to pay five dol- lars for the privilege of wearing it; she demanded something more. Martha was in dispair, she must have the money. Suddenly a happy solution dawned. Sarah had a horrid complexion! “I’ll tell you what I’ll do, Sarah. I’ve got a brand new jar of Sweetheart Face Cream, the best brand made, you know perfectly wonderful for the complexion. It cost -er—two dollars. I’ll let you have that too.” Sarah Ann deliberated. She must have a dress, and then the face cream would come in handy, especially if it were as good as Martha represented it. Finally with a great show of hesitation she gave Martha the money and took the dress and— With a sigh, half relief, half regret, Martha went back to her room and crept into bed, but not to sleep. Thoughts of the wonderful party she must miss pervaded her mind constantly. When she finally slept, it was to dream of being pursued by an army of Sarah Anns dressed in green chiffon dance frocks. The first thing Martha did next morning was to run to the great box where the little slippers lay in solitary splendor. As she picked up one to fondle it, a five dol- lar gold piece rolled out uj on the floor. She stared in amazed silence for a moment, then seized the other and felt inside. Sure enough, there was a coin in it too. Hur- rying into robe and slippers, she rushed madly down the corridor and burst into Sarah Ann’s room. Then she stopped in amazement, for there sat Sarah Ann on the edge of the bed, her face a mass of blisters. “Just see what you’ve done, Martha Clarke! That stuff just ruined my complex- ion! 1 bet you did it just on purpose so I couldn’t go to the dance!” shrieked the victim. I’m sure it’s not my fault!” replied Martha sharply. “You would have the stuff! I’ve come over after my dress. Give it to me at once!” Ignoring Sarah’s agonized protests and accusations, Martha threw a gold piece in the sufferer’s face, grabbed her dress and made a dignified exit. At the dance that night Martha, dressed in green chiffon, was the prettiest girl on the floor, or so Robert Brown, her partner told her. He evidently did not notice the three freckles which still remained upon her nose. MAUDE YEOMAN ’22.

I was always told 1 was to be seen and and not heard, and now I was to be neither,— not at least until the bait was settled. There were two other occupants in the room. Besides the dark, foreign looking man, Carlo, with the clean cut features and distinguished air, was a younger man and a young woman. The young man in a long smock, and wore his hair long. The young woman also wore a smock, but as if foregoing her woman’s privilege of long hair to her friend, hers was cut short. She wore large shell-rimmed glasses that gave her an owlish appearance and accentuated her lack of color. Although the heavy draperies shut out most of the light, 1 could see enough of the woman to be startled by the perfection of her features and the beautv of her full lips. This trio was evidently expecting a fourth person at their party, for there was a fourth cup, and the water in the elaborate little copper samovar was left heating while they went on with their conversation and smoking. From my position I could hear only bits of their conversation, but I could watch their every movement. This was not my first affair with Carlo Sabatini, so 1 was not surprised at the way in which he held his audience. Carlo had a facinating person- ality which was decidedly to his advantage in his line of work, for his was the “Mas- ter Mind” and it was for him to pave the way for his accomplices. There was charm in all his actions, and his mention of Monte Carlo, punctuated by a large roll of bills, spoke for itself. At last the fourth person arrived, and I prepared for action. All I needed was more evidence, which I got. We had suspected them of selling drugs, morphine and cocaine, for months, but they had always succeeded in eluding the law. I now had the proof. Now the mouse became a lion, and stepping ftom behind the curtain, I covered them with my gun. As I expected, there was no resistance, and I proceeded to snap on the cuffs. There were my three victims, but where was the fourth? Carlo Sab- atini had again succeeded in eluding justice. IRENE SPURGEON, ’22. Shythmir Philnanphy E have at Avon High School some things of great renown. We have some folks who’re angels, and some who act the clown. We have some folks who’re brilliant, and some who make red D’s. Some are always truthful, and some can lie with ease. And some who’re good in history and get by like a whiz, can do naught in physics. I wonder why it is. Some are good in Latin and mathematics too, and some of us can keep books and of mistakes make few. A few of us can saw straight and make things out of wood, and really do a better job than teachers thought we could. And several can do painting and draw things with a pen; a few who try it vainly, apply erasers then. We all do try in English to write some clever themes, but some waste all their ef- forts on alibis and schemes. Now what is all this nonsense that we’ve been telling you? We’ve told you how we acted, the things we don’t and do. We are as good as most folks, as naughty too I bet; but after all the rumpus, we’re just a human set. Q Q i lir Slimmrrami Pfijatral draining EDNESDAY in Avon High means something more than the third school day in the week, for on that “day of ail days” the monotony of the school pro- gram is relieved. The cause for all the unusual excitement may be found in the gymnasium where Mr. Burg supervises activities. The success of the work done there was shown by the demonstration given at the Parent-Teachers meeting on December 7, and the Field Day exhibition, May 5. Besides the physical training work in the school, Mr. Burg conducted classes for the men and women of the town, on Tuesday evening. Although the attendance was somewhat smaller than it had been the previous year, those who availed themselves of this opportunity came legularly and attained a high degree of proficiency. The term was concluded on April 25, when a large number of members of the classes and their guests enjoyed a demonstration of the work done, and a cafeteria supper. 5 9 ‘C a 37 Q hr iBnnmrrami Q —— --£3S� )=:—_ t r • • • D Standing Coach Erickson, Leroy Woods, Frank Arthurs, Donovan Myers, Jack Sundberg.

Baskrt Ball IE basket ball season of 1921-22 closed finding Avon in possession of a silver cup, won in the 'B section of the Macomb Tournament. This is tl e first cup to be won by the boys of the Green and White. Al- ______tl ougl the team did not win as many games as teams of previous years, tt ey played clean ball and took their defeats in a sportsmanlike manner. Coach E-ickson organized the team on more den.ociatic principles than those of previous teams. Eveiy man played only so long as he proved capable of filling his position. This cl ange gave every man a chance to play, and increased tl e interest of all. The Sophomores won the intcr-class tournament by defeating the Seniors in the tightest game ever played here in a class tournament. Tl e squad’ wishes to express appreciation to the town people and High School pupils who supported them throughout the season. Sbr iBnnmrrmm Kmirfca nf iflnt RICKSON was the first official coach of athletics in Avon High. His task was far from an easy one since both basket ball and track teams were de- veloped from raw material. He is largely responsible for the success of the basket ball team and for the promotion of a democratic spirit in the athletics of the school. Heston, captain, was the only veteran of last year’s “regulars.” “Nick” was the most unfortunate player on the squad, being laid out most of the year by an in- fected knee. In spite of this, however, “Nick” was always on the go and usually made more than his share of “sinkers.” Hectorne was the most constant man on the squad; he always made the same fight and played the same game. “Heck’s” close guarding made many of our vic- tories possible. Drake played in every game of the season, showing excellent judgement in both team work and passing. He will be captain next year. Woods was an all-round man. He played every position on the floor. “Shorty” played the first eight games without making a personal foul. This is a record of which few players can boast. Myers played in a majority of the games. “Donny” played center’s position with the ability of a veteran. Pool was the best shot on the squad. “Pool’s” ability to get away with the ball and made it “sink” earned for him a position on the second “all-star” teams at the Macomb and Monmouth tournaments. Arthurs entered school the last semester and soon won a place in the squad. He was undoubtedly the fastest floor man and the best team-worker on the team. Mauvais was one of the fastest men on the team. His ability to cover the floor and to shoot quick made him the high-point man on the squad. Sundberg was our “long-shot” man. Although he played in but a few games. Jack made great improvement during the season. Conway, “six feet, four,” was a handy man at center and played in several first- team games. He is the only member of the squad who will not help Avon gain new victories next year. Douglass has served two years as business manager and treasurer of the Ath- letic Association. During this time the accounts of the association have, no doubt, been in better condition than before “Doug” took hold of them. His position will be very difficult to fill next year. mm (Elir itaomrrang iKmiri of (fiamra Team Place A. C. H.S.

Better luck at Lewistown! ! hr fBiwmrnuui ssst«i a © FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE ROAST One evening last fall, a number of people were seen leaving the school building. Closer investigation proved them to be some Freshmen and Sophomores accompanied by three of the teachers. An inquisitive person might have followed the procession down the railroad tracks to the district known as “Shoo-Fly.” Here they built a ..re and partook of wieners and marshmallows and all the other thirgs one eats at a roast. Then, tired but happy, they returned to civilization. THE SENIOR ROAST Soon after school had started, the Seniors wanted some excitement, so they planned a wiener roast. After school one day, they climbed into any car available, and drove about three or four miles out in the country. “Twin Bridges” proved a pleasant place for the event, so a (ire was hastily built and then there was a mad rush for the “eats.” Mm—they were good! When each had eaten as much as possible, and had run about playing games until he was exhausted, the revellers made the return journey, which was marked by punctures and tain. “Lots of trouble, but more fun! HALLOWE’EN PARTY The Seniors entertained the faculty and themselves with a Hallowe’en party, in the High school gym. Tie guests were forced to enter the building through the basement, wl ere gi.osts making queer noises were stationed, and many stumbling- blocks were placed to remind them that this was a night full of wild adventure. Games suitable to the occasion formed the entertainment for the evening. Dainty and fitting refreshments were served by the social committee. Qm CTtyr Samnrrang a nv--hmuD THE JUNIOR -SENIOR PARTY There was great rejoicing among the Seniors when they received invitations to be guests of the Juniors at the home of Dorothy Nessel, on Friday evening, No- vember 10, 1921. The rooms were appropriately decorated in the Senior colors. A very pleasant evening was spent in playing games, at the conclusion of which, de- licious refreshments were served. THE SURPRISE (?) On December 1, 1921, the Seniors assembled at the home of C. S. Brandt, to help celebrate Vera’s eighteenth birthday. The event was intended to be a surprise and although it failed in that respect, it proved a success in every other way. The evening was spent in cards, games, and dancing. After delightful refreshments had been served, the guests departed. THE SOPHOMORE BANQUET As a reward for their having won the inter-class basket ball tournament, on March 25 the Sophomore boys came to the study hall as guests of the Sophomore girls. At half past eight the guests and hostesses seated themselves about the table which was decorated in the class colors. A committee of the girls immedi- ately served a luscious dinner which began with pressed chicken and potato salad and many other good things, and ended with ice cream and cake. Louise Mark, acting as toastmistiess, made a few remarks and introduced Glenn Neice, who very fittingly toasted the basket ball boys. Ronald Hectorne in a very gracious manner, made the response. The toastmistress then presented each mem- ber of the team with a trophy. Following the dinner, the scene of action shifted to the gym, where games and contests to show skill furnished entertainment for the rest of the evening. ’Twas getting late when the party was over, each one feeling he had had the time of his life. BASKET BALL BANQUET The evening of April 5 marked an event in the lives of the basket ball boys. On that evening. Coach and Mrs. Erickson entertained them with a six o’clock dinner. The dining room was decorated in the high school colors, which were also shown in the place-cards. Between courses, a new captain was named, for the 1922-23 season. This honor was given to Garland Drake, who will play his last season next year. The guests spent the evening in playing Five Hundred, and when the time came to leave, they all declared the party a huge success. FACULTY PARTY On April 12, Miss Fennessy proved herself a delightful hostess when she en- tertained at her home, the entire teaching force and Mrs. Reeve and Mary Frances, Mrs. Erickson and Jack. Pedagogical dignity was laid aside for the occasion, and the guests were so pleasantly entertained that they were loath to leave. A num- ber of interesting and amusing games and pastimes, along with singing, talking, and dainty refreshments, made the evening one long to be remembered. •Xbr Snnmrrann o JT Anna rrkrr.

INTRODUCTION 1. THE NATURE OF JOMETRY: We are now about to embark on a new limb of spasmodics, one not chiefly de- voted to sophomores although it uses sophomores, and not primarily devoted to jun- iors although using them, but one that is concerned principally with their forms, shapes, sizes, expressions, and general conduct. 2. DEFINITIONS: Sollud a limited portion of space, sometimes filled with gray matter, but gen- erally is a vacuum: for example, a head. In jometry, luckily, we have nothing to do with the matter of which a sollud is composed; we study simply its shape and size. Plain a surface which is frequently decorated with powder and paint (some- times, with whiskers), and which may be distinguished from other surfaces in that it usually contains the following features: two eyes, one nose, one mouth, and two cheeks, these features being bordered on the north and south extremities, respect- fully, by one forehead and one chin; on the east and west extremities, respectfully, by one ear and the other ear. The limit—Rollin and Bernadine. A cylinder Darwin. Perpendiculars—Ronald and Verne. Variables (in attendance) Marvel and Dorothy. An ambiguous proposition Klaus. Chord (harmonic)—Clarence. Polygon—a teacher is a many-sided polygon which is equal to ’most anything. Recitation the science of bluffing. 3. AXIOMS: 1. If zeros are added to zeros, the sum is equal to red D’s. 2. All zeros are equal to the same thing, therefore they are equal but very sel- dom coincide. 3. Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other—little study and low grades. 4. POSTULATES: 1. The conduct of the pupil varies directly as the square of the distance from the teacher. 2. A perpetual, continuous, automatic straight-line grin is the shortest distance between two ears, if accompanied by an angular giggle. Proof—William Carroll. 3. Any biped constructed with the perpetual desire for sleep should be treated by the sympathetic method. Proof—Raymond Drake. SPASM I. Explosion I. Two girls are symmetric if they are labeled with similar names recorded in the reverse order. Proof Eunice Corinne and Corinne Eunice. 0-hr Soumrranri a Explosion II. Only one perpendicular (See definition) can be drawn to a given Mark, from a given body of students. Explosion III. If the quality of gray matter of two solids is unequal, the grades are unequal in the same order. Explosion IV. Two figures having equal bases and equal altitudes and similar, congenial, heart- rendering dispositions are doomed to an everlasting compatibility, coupled with the ruthless pursuits of figures of the genus GIRL. Proof—Charles and Henry. Explosion V. The locus of all points is the study hall. Explosion VI. Like powers of two basket ball players are in proportion to the effort expended. Proof Lloyd and Leroy. Explosion VII. If two solids (See definitions) are tangent to each other, in the absence of a chaperone, the point of contact is the mouth. Explosion VIII. If two girls are being afflicted by four parallel subjects, their corresponding worries are proportional. Proof Eula and Faith. Explosion IX. To let fall a given piece of apparatus upon a given table from a given external point. Construction and Proof—Verne. Explosion X. Boarding bisects the pocket book. Proof Ask Nettie and Edith. Explosion XI. The effort expended in traversing the shortest distance over a long road from home to school is incommensurable. Proof Maude, Dale, William, Lynn, and Glenn. APPENDIX RECREATIONS IN JOMETRY: 1. Find a solution for the following problem: Verne was trying to draw a circle. The result was a heart. 2. “Inscribe a circle in a triangle.” “Do you want the circle on the inside or the outside?” 3. Punch and Judy show staged by Eunice and Charles. PRESS NOTICES This remarkable text is to be adopted for use in the A. C. H. S. next year Avon Sentinel. A mathematical masterpiece—London Times. Worthy of a permanent place in the libraries of all educated truth-lovers—Joy Gazette.

Finally, Tat, the Judge, fined them three pins each, and said that they were to be imprisoned in the darkest closet in the house.
