a hr iBoamrrattn □3 Jfrrshman (Class Thirty-two little Freshmen Trotting off to school To learn another lesson Or, to have a little duel. Each one knows his lesson Which he studies day by day, To get an education Which he well knows will pay. Then as he grows older, A Sophomore he will be. And then he’ll study harder To be a Junior free. And then he’ll be a Senior, Happy, blithe and free. To graduate in ’26 And soon a man he’ll be. OLIVE MYERS. thr (Class of ’26 Here’s to the class of ’26 The pride of Avon High. Though we have been in many a fix. We have always “gotten by.” We entered High School with some doubt. As to what we’d have to do. In a little while we all found out, And it left a few quite blue. We’ve tried our very best to please Our teachers in every way. So that, their lives might be one of ease. With no cares from day to day. We may have been quite green to start But don’t you ever fear. We’re going to try to do our part And all be “Sophs” next year. MILDRED RAYMOND.

 Ebr tummrraim Cifmim (Tmtrm' rrf '23 N THE evening' of November sixth, the Harrod Jubilee Singers gave a very entertaining program. The program consisted of old plantation scenes. One of the chief features was the interpretation of “Old Black Joe.” The company consisted of two ladies and two men. The Kaufman Quartette and assisting artist, Mable Kelly Steinecker, appeared in the High School auditorium, November twentieth. On the program were solos, duets and readings. Each number received much ap- plause and this quartette was pronounced the finest organization of its kind that was ever in Avon. Doctor W. T. Sherman Culp gave a very interesting lecture, November twenty- seventh, on “The Importance of an Individual to his Community.” This proved help- ful and inspiring. January third brought a close to the lyceum of 1922-’23. The Liberty Belles gave a charming program, representing the three great wars Revolutionary, Civil, and the great World War. The music and readings given in costumes appropriate to the var- ious periods were enjoyed very much. All in all the Lyceum course of this school year was very enjoyable and satisfac- tory. The Senior class unites in thanking the people for the patronage which made the course a success.
