The Boomerang «ttMQNi Q' «■N Senior Class History UT of the class of fifteen members who started to school in September, 1914, under the kindly direction of Miss Mary Heites, now Mrs. Ray Wingate, only five arc left to graduate in the class. They are: Leroy Mark. Willis Mummey, Lucille Tatman, Louise Weigert and Lucy Davis. By the time the class was ready to leave the eighth grade, it had increased to seventeen members. These seventeen, with seventeen others from the country, made up the largest class that had ever entered the High School up to that time. Through removal from the district or various other reasons, the following did not complete their work : Ruth Davis, Douglas Spencer, Frank Snapp, Hazel Ander- son, Edna Bowles, Margorie Wilson, Mary McCoy, Harold Scott. Gallerd Asquith, Leroy Foster and Leoma Owens. It is rather significant that this is the first class to exceed in size the famed class of 1906 with its twenty-one members. This year’s class has twenty-four members. During our four years of high school, we have had someone represented in the declamatory and vocal contest, as well as in basket ball and track. Olive Myers had won second in declamation two years and second for four years in vocal. Marie Mc- Farland and Elbert Capps won first honors in declamation and represented our school at Lewistown. Lucille Tatman has placed first in girls’ vocal contest for the last three years—an honor which she well deserves. Leroy Mark, Harold Ramer, Corliss Powell and Elbert Capps have been the most outstanding athletes in our class, both in basket ball and track. Our most ambitious undertaking during our Junior year was the presentation of three one-act plays under the able direction of Miss Helen Morse, who will long be remembered as one of the most brilliant dramatic coaches that the Avon High School has ever had. We feel that we have done our part in the social activities of the school by giving a banquet to the Seniors and faculty members on May 16, 1925. This years we were hosts at an all school Hallowe’en party in the gymnasium. On April 17, the class members, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Reeve and Miss Schemel, drove to Springfield to view the many places of interest found there. This was one of the most interesting and enjoyable events during our Senior year. As a fitting climax to the school year, we were guests at a banquet given by the Juniors on April 24. It is with regret that we leave A. H. S. to take our places in the world. LUCY DAVIS. 4» 4» 4« ry ry ry The Senior Man Blessings on thee. Senior Man, Stacombed hair, with cheeks of tan!
