THE BOOMERANQ Dolume X Auon Community High School Avon, Illinois F oreujord X  Through our school life there has been a feeling of logaltq to our school comparable to the patriotism displayed by the Americans in the recent mar. It is that feeling of loyalty and friendship that me haue endeau- ored to reflect in this uolume of The Boomerang . That this spirit may radiate from the book, me haue likened our school life to that of the sol- diers during the IDorld IDar.

The first passengers were Verl Clayton, Lyle Keller. Ethyl Baughman, Alberta Sundberg, Mary Wall, and Mary OâDonnell. The next two flights were under the pilotage of Maude Horner. The new pas- sengers were Marjorie Asquith, Etlielin Ray, Louise Bliss, Clair Kreider. Carter Powell, and Mary Morse, while Mary OâDonnell went elsewhere. The fourth, under the Pilot Anna Seeker, was notable only in that Louise and Marjorie dropped out (parachute). On the fifth flight, with F'ern Wingate as Pilot. Ruth Speer and Helen Hatch signed up. On the sixth take-off with Betty Cutler, the list remained the same; hut the fol- lowing year with the same leader F.ula Duflield came and Marjorie returned. The next flight, under Josie Baughman, saw two more passengers addedâOrval Wingate and Vernon Hinman. Here a great change took place. We got a new ship to accommodate the large load of travelers and dubbed it the Class of 1030. The sailing list was as follows: Verl Clayton. Lyle Keller, Ethyl Baughman. Alberta Sundberg. Mary OâDonnell, Mary Wall. Sumner Curtis, Mary Morse, Ruth Speer. Pâ.ula Duflield. Carter Powell. Clair Kreider, Ethelin Ray, Marjorie Asquith, Max Risinger. Ramona I.eigh, Ver- non Hinman. Orval Wingate, lone Spurgeon. (Jail Stice, Forrest Lincoln, and Helen Hatch. Our first navigator was Miss Schemel. As Sophomores we added Mabell Hornbaker anil Bronald Spurgeon. Mr. Webb saw us through successfully. Our third year we picked up Louise again but lost Max. With Miss F'ennessy as navigator we gave what we will always think was the best Junior-Senior Banquet ever given. Nowâas we take off for the last time, we pick up Woodrow Sanders, and Max again comes back. Miss Fennessv is still our trustworthy pilot. Soon we will land our ship after a tempestuous storm of High School gales, and it is with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow that we realize we will never again âstunt as a high school class. Vernon Hinman. SIXTEEN  0 The Boomerang Ouerheard The waters rippled and sang; the tiny boat glided softly down the stream, rocking gently as it moved. It was as though I had left my real self behind. My thoughts, no longer in a mad turmoil, were quiet. I glided on and on. I had no thought of stopping and no thought of a possible destin- ation. Miles and miles must have been covered, hours and hours must have passed, when suddenly and without haste, my boat was still. Voices came faintly to my ear. I was not surprised nor disturbedâI was scarcely aware of them, though they came nearer and nearer. Then I chanced to notice that my l oat had glided into a tiny cove, and although I could hear the speakers, they could not see me nor could I see them. They stopped within a few feet of meâfishers, I thought. Then a man's voice spoke. âI donât care whether I fish or not. Iâd rather just talk. What have you l een doing since I last saw you? That wasâlet ine thinkâAll erta Sundl erg s wedding, was it not? Al- most six years hack.â Another masculine voice answered. I was keenly alert. âIâve rambled around considerably since then; in fact. Iâve l een practically all over the world. Kvery once in a while I run across one of the old gang.â I recognized the second voice as Indonging to Sumner Curtis, a graduate of my class way hack in 1980. Of the first voice I was in doubt. Then Sumner continued, âJust the other day while in New York, I sort of got the blues and decided on a concert to cheer me up. Vernon llinman was first on the program as pianist. He sure is one popular bird.â The first voice was speaking again: âI can name another just like him. Max Risinger is running for Representative from Iowa this year. Big salary, easy lifeâsome people get all the breaks.â With a surge of pure joy I recognized the speaker as Hronald Spurgeon, another of my ÂŤclassmates, now a famous surgeon. Sumner was saying, âThe other day I ran across Clair Kreidcr in a large city in Nebraska. He is coach of a basketball team there. He says that Ethelin Ray is a physical training in- structor in the next city. I did not get to see her.â âI had the luck to meet Mary Wall the other day while on a business trip to Chicago,â remarked Bronnld. âShe is a designer of frocks up there. She hasn't changed at all since the days hack in good old Avon High.â âI met her chum, Mary Morse, last winter in Paris,â said Sumner. âShe sure is strong for her art work.â âI wonder what ever happened to Ethyl Baughman,â mused Bronald. âWhy, she is a trained nurse somewhere in France, I believe. I saw her after her gradua- tion from college,â answered Sumner. âDo you ever hear from Woodrow?â asked Curtis after a pause. âAbout a month ago I was down South and being near Arkansas decided to stop and see her. You know she is a trained nurse now. Ramona I.eigh was visiting her, so we had a real chat. Ramona teaches music somewhere in Indiana. Quite recently Woodrow had received a letter from Helen Hatch. She is hack in Avon teaching English.â âVerl Clayton wrote me a newsy letter the other day and put me wise to some of the rest of the bunch,â said Bronald. âHe is engineer of a train that passes through Avon. He says that Lyle Keller has a swell position as clerk in a large department store in Minneapolis. SEVENTEEN The Boomerang Carter Powell left for the West soon after graduation and has scarcely ever ! een heard of: hut the other day he wrote a long letter to Lyle. Me and a partner own a large cattle ranch in Wyoming. âSpeaking of the West reminds me of several people I chanced to see in California last spring said Sumner. âWhile on the train going from San Francisco to Sacramento, I fell in with Orval Wingate. He is a traveling salesman for Swift Co. During a short stay at Long Beach, I discovered Louise Bliss, now a movie star. She had recently received a letter from Malndl llornhaker who is in Kachow, China, teaching Christianity to the natives.â âWhere is âRufus Speer, I wonder? inquired Bronald. âI saw Marjorie squith a couple of years ago. She runs a large poultry farm somewhere in the vicinity of Avon and carries on a big business. I hear âEula Dutfield took up the study of law after several years as a stenographer and is now pretty well known Ruth is teaching school. She does not care for a lietter position than that of teaching a country school. Wouldnât it Im great to go to school to âRufus? Her old pal, lone, is still in Europe with her painting, isn't she? Gail met her one time several years ago in England when he chanced to have business there. He sure makes tin dough roll in as a lawyer. (It s a good thing somebody can), mumbled Curtis as if to himself. âThat just aland takes them all in, doesn't it?â inquired Bronald. Yet it seems as if someone is lacking. A long pause, thenâ Oh Blackberry it's âAbe Lincoln! Where is the old scout? âHe owns a large farm in Canada. I paid him a visit two years ago. Heâs making good. I say let's call it a day and quit. â I could hear them gathering up their fishing articles in preparation to leave. âBy geminy. Bud, I've thought of someone else we overlooked Mary O'Donnell. âThatâs right. You know she was--------. They walked rapidly away and the words died away before reaching me. So intent was I upon listening that I leaned over my little boat a trifle far ami ! efore I knew it was in the water. What would they have said? Why couldn't they have waited? Mahy OâDon xki.i..

At seven o'clock Saturday morning, April 19, five automobiles loaded with happy, ex- pectant Seniors left for Springfield. They traveled by way of Beardstown, arriving in front of the east entrance on the Capitol Building according to schedule. The crowd rather hastily looked through the Supreme Court Building and then hurried over to the Centennial Building. An hour was soon spent in investigating Mammal Hall in the basement and the Museum on the fifth floor. Some even found time to look into the libra- ry on the third floor. At eleven o'clock all met at the east corner of the Centennial Build- ing and went thence to Strong's Cafeteria for lunch. Some three hours were then sju-nt in looking over the capitol and climbing to the top of the dome, from which one could view Springfield. The crowd then packed themselves into their cars and drove to Lincoln's home, where many interesting relics of his day were ex- hibited. From there the class went to Lincoln's Monument where other interesting things were to Ik seen. After all had climbed to the top of the tower and ga .ed out on the surrounding country, they again set out, making their way to New Salem. Everyone enjoyed hwiking at the old buildings and the museum there. On the road to Pekin some of the crowd stopped at a small place where an old man who had lived in that part of the country years ago had built an electrically driven model of the old Hutledge dam. After taking supper in Pekin, the group decided to go to a theatre in Peoria. The class arrived in Avon early the next morning with only two regrets: one driver had trouble with the brakes on her car and no one had found time to visit Anne Bwtledge's grave.

Miss Moser The Boomerang The Juniors We, tht Juniors, have decided that under any circumstances we art- the greatest class that ever entered Avon High School. ilbur Neice, for instance, is willing to admit that he is the most ignorant piece ot human flesh ever piled on two legs. On the contrary. Lucretia Lillie boasts of hav- ing the largest head in the Junior class. She thinks that it is her immense supply of intelligence that has caused her head to become so large. Fern Alden boasts of being the best athlete. She ascribes her ability to her ef- forts to keep up with the basketball team. Irvin Wallis puts in his claim as being the best basketball player. It is a well known fact that, were his health good enough, he would be the stellar basketeer of Union Township. Kdward Carr is our favorite track man. He states that, with the proper inspiration, he can run the half mile in 15 seconds. (Unofficial time). Helen Buck considers herself the rightful holder of the speed and efficiency title. She also claims that she is the best typist in school. Davie Quigle is the most indus- trious Junior. She states that she swept their entire front porch in one day. ilbur ( apps knows that he is, or will be, the greatest plane crasher in exist- ence. Francis Enlow is also a great help to the aviation world. He persists in keeping the sole right to buy aviation magazines. Harold Freeman thinks that without him women would be at loss for any form of amusement. (They would). Louise Hartford is the successful flirt. She had eight Freshmen, two Sophomores, six Juniors, and one Senior to her credit. In the religious sect. Barbara Davis is supreme. She states that she is capable of handling any moral or religious situation likely to turn up. Irma Powell shows that she is a flirt by grasping everyoneâs hands. Dorothy Schuhart is the best free- hand artist. Everybody give the little girl a hand. Millicent Rood admits that she can, with no effort, count as far as forty-seven and back, provided that at least ten people hold out their hands so that she may count on their fingers. Probably one of the greatest song writers of today is in the Junior class. That person is Preston Sharp, who likes only the songs of his own composition. Ernest Stone brags of having the deepest bass voice and shows the power of his lungs in his protests against all the teachers. La erne 1 hurman thinks he is talented along the bookkeeping line. He will probably be a bookkeeper for Amos n Andy. LeRoy Haines claims the honor of selling the most cranberries in Greenbush. Thomas Jackson is the best hunter. While on a three-day hunting trip, he bagged eight field mice and one gopher. There is only one modest person in the entire class. George Horn claims that honor. Ho is extremely quiet. As you may have surmised, I, Winston Crissey, think that I am the most truth- ful and clever writer concerning the Juniors in the whole school. Winston Crissey.

This is no time for eeremonv. The question before the study hall is of great importance to this class. For my own part. I consider it nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery..... Should 1 keep back my opinions at such a time, because of fear of giving offense, I should consider myself guilty of treason toward my class. We must be free. Mr. Smith, it is natural for a person to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes to the truth and listen to the talk of the Sophomores, until they transform us into dummies. Is this the part of the Freshman engaged in the great struggle for liberty? For my part. I am willing to know the truth and provide for it. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided. I know of no way of judg- ing the future by the Sophomores. What conduct of the Sophomores is there to justify the hopes of the Freshman? Is it that insidious smile with which the Sophs greet us? Trust it not, fellows, it will prove a snare to our feet. Are slights and jibes necessary to work friendly relation? These are the implements of war. I ask what means this martial array, if its purpose is not to make fools of us. Have the Sophs any other enemy in this part of the Study Hall? They have none. It is meant for us. Shall we try argument? We have been trying that. We have held the subject to every light available but it lias been in vain. May we indulge in the fond hope of peace? We must not abandon the noble struggle which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon, until we have obtained the glorious objectâwe must fight. I repeat it, we must fight. They tell us that we are weak and unable to cope with such a strong enemy. When will we be stronger? Will it be next week? Will it be when a Sophomore guard is at every desk? We are not weak if we make proper use of our means. We are twenty-six Freshmen armed in the cause of liberty. The battle is not for the strong alone; it is for the valiant, the active, the brave. There is no retreat but in slavery, and who wants slavery? Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the floor of the Study Hall. The war is inevitableâand let it come. It is in vain to offer excuses for the matter. Teachers may cry, Peace, Peaceâ but there is no peace. War has already begun ! The next time the teachers are out of the Study Hall you may hear the clash of paper wads. The Juniors and Seniors are still fighting, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

For several years the State Federation of Women s Clubs has sponsored an art contest in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades of the state. This year the subject âAutumn was selected and our seventh and eighth grades prepared posters to be entered. Five mounts, chosen by the Portia Club of Avon, were exhibited in the district meeting at Rushville, April 24th. Local prizes were offered the best three, Maurice Carr placing first. Ross Yeoman, second: Dolores Staggs, third. A music appreciation contest was also conducted in Room Five this year. Twen- ty-six classic selections, with each composer and his nationality, were learned and recognized when played on the victrola. Irma Thurman placed first and the second and third prizes were divided among Maurice Carr. Mar jorie Gillett. Margaret Ellen Olson and Bonidene Hovel 1.

The sixtli grade pupils have especially enjoyed âThe Weekly Readers , this year. This magazet is filled with current news, which does much in creating the in- terest of the pupils in news of the day. Many projects have been worked out along with the reading material of this magazet. Cartoons have been drawn, poetry has been written and interesting cross-word puzzles have been worked out by the boys and girls. The sixth and seventh grade literature classes have made interesting note books, in which they have placed pictures, quotations, and short stories, illustrating the stories in their literature text books. The common bird residents of the summer and winter seasons and the common trees have been studies. The aquarium containing gold fish, a tiny catfish, tadpoles, a frog, and a turtle has added much interest in the room. Those perfect in attendance were: Verda Iker.

Friday, January 17, under the direction of Miss Maude Yeoman. Ottily Howell, having discovered the Pembroke jewels in her husband's satchel, is convinced that he is a thief. In truth. Mr. Howell had gone to Boston to procure some love letters that his friend. Ned Pembroke, had written to Vera Vernon, and on his way home had accidentally exchanged grips with the real thief, Nicholas King. Susie, the maid, hides the jewels in her stocking and calls the police in the hope of getting the reward. In the meantime. Ottily promises Mrs. Pembroke the safe re- turn of her jewels and Mr. King returns for his own grip. As the police arrive, Mr. Howell promises to recognize him as a traveling salesman. Shortly afterward. Mrs. Fleming and Mrs. Pembroke arrive, the latter turning the whole affair over to Mr. King, whom she thinks is a detective. He gives her the jewels, which he has re- ceived from Susie, collects the reward, and escapes. Vera Vernon also appears upon the scene in search of her stolen letters. After many explanations, the whole mystery is cleared up. As a result. Daphne. Nedâs financee, forgives him for his affair with Vera and Mr. and Mrs. Howell promise never to mistrust each other again.

John Bruce, born in a little town in Connecticut, returns after an absence of twenty years, to build a factory for his people and restore prosperity to the village. However, the land necessary for his enterprise is owned by Abner Ketcham, a village financier who plans to convert it into a cemetery. Abnerâs nephew, Benny, a super- salesman . relaxes from his selling labors by playing the trombone. John is not only thwarted in his philanthropic enterprise but disappointed in the attitude of the village toward his wealth. Seemingly, everyone hopes to share his good fortune. Mrs. Barrett âthrows her daughter at his head. Tommy Lansing asks support in his painting. Mrs. Mullett wants her home-loving daughter. Nora, subsidized and given a career. Mr. Martin, his financial adviser, assures him that were lie to become suddenly poor these people would be as generous as they are now grasping. When a rumor arises that John has lost his entire fortune in Wall Street, he does not contradict it, for he wishes to test Martin's theory of human nature. To make his poverty convincing he takes the position as clerk in Hotel Mullett. Now that he is poor, his friends exert themselves to make him forget his supposed troubles. In the role he is playing, John establishes the hotel on a paying basis, outwits Abner to secure the property for his factory, and wins as his wife, Nora, with whom In- fell in love immediately after his arrival. Thus the play ends satisfactorily for everybody. CHARACTERS Martha Mullett. Proprietress of Hotel Mullett Nora Mullett, Her Daughter................... Elmine Ludinc Smith, a Servant...............

The guests were brought in about 8 o'clock through a dungeon of terror inhabit- ed by ghosts, goblins, and spirits. They were admitted by means of a password to the gymnasium, which had been changed into a woodland scene. Unfortunately the Freshmen failed to remember the password and were punished by having to wear green caps. Many games were played and seasonal refreshments were served. The guests departed at a late hour declaring it a very pleasant evening. :: :: SENIOR-JUNIOR PARTY The Seniors entertained the Juniors at a Thanksgiving party, November 1( . Guests were met at a side door and conveyed over the stormy ocean in the May- flower. They were landed on Plymouth Rock and assembled around a large camp- fire in the center of the gymnasium.

The gradesâ contribution was Travels in Osâ. The story is taken from the book, Land of Osâ, by Frank Baum. The setting is in a farm yard where Dorothy, after skipping about with her playmates, lies down to read the âStory of () . . The sandman dances quietly about her and she falls asleep only to waken and find herself in the land of Oz. Here she is visited and entertained by the Munchekins. After they leave her. she becomes aware of the Scarecrow. They are joined by the Tin Woodman. After the appearance of each new character, a chorus enters and dances for her. They are then joined by a lion and all plan to go to Oz where each intends to ask a favor for himself. On their journey to Oz. they see poppies dancing about and butterflies fluttering near them. In the poppy field Dorothy and the Lion fall asleep, causing much worry for the others who are tillable to carry both. Their problem is solved when King Mouse with his mice comes with ropes and wagon to pull the Lion from the field, while they carry Dorothy. Now when their prospects of finding Oz are so great all are frightened away as Dorothy is awakened bv her mother calling her. We again see the clever costumes as all return to dance a farewell.

While there he turned out sev- eral champion basketball, track, and football teams. Material has perceptibly declined in Avon High during the last two or three years; but, out of tin willing learners. Elder, with unceasing efforts, produced a team that held its own against many bigger schools, many of them with better-than-average teams. He is a capable coach and we hope that we will have him with us another year.

Carter was a hard man to guard and when he got the hall he was usually good Lira basket. This is his last year in A.C.H.S. and it will he hard to find a man to fill his place. NEWT McCOY When McCoy got going, it took more than one guard to stop him. One of his greatest faults was sinking long shots from the middle of the floor. This is Newt's last year to play. CLAIR KREIDER Kreider is a short guard, hut he is mighty and greatly feared. He broke up many plays, and his uncanny ability at sinking baskets placed him in the score columns. This is Clair's last year in Avon High. BYRON PALMER Palmer s long suit was breaking up the other team's plays. He is short, but that in no way interferes with his dependability. Byron has one year yet in which to play. MAX RISIXGER Risinger came hack to Avon at the time we needed a good man. He came up to expecta- tions and handed in an excellent record all season. It seemed to lie a habit with him to lead off the scoring. This is his last year to play for the Green and White. VKRLCLAYTON Clayton didn't get in until the last semester, but when he did he certainly showed that he was a forward of no mean ability. He has a âknack for getting âSleepers. Yerl, too, is a Senior. GEORGE BELL Bell is a fit running mate to Palmer. His fighting spirit greatly made up for Ills few deficiencies and he was closely watched by his opponents. George, too, has one year left. IRVIN WALLIS Wallis didn't play until the second semester, but when he did be showed what comes of keen interest and fighting spirit. MARSHALL STAGGS Staggs, a Sophomore, needs only experience to make him a guard that will next year be closely watched by the opposing team. MERRILL LILLIE Lillie was the only Freshman to make the squad. He plays a good game and needs only experience to l e a player of high merit. VERNON HINMAN (tinman, has had three years experience at leading yells. He is a âpeachy cheerleader â so say some out-of-town basket hall fans. WII.Bl'R CAPPS As cheerleader, this was Capp's second year; and he too showed the other schools that Avon has a classy bunch of pepmakers. FORTY - N N I The Boomerang Record of Team Although the team came out on the short end of the schedule it was by no means a slow set. Towards the first of the year ineli- gibility stalked the ranks of the squad, but after many discourage- ments the fellows produced a team that made the school righteously proud. Most of the games were close, and when the winning teams got through they were never very many points ahead. The schedule was composed of many outstanding teams throughout this section. Though it was beaten several times, the team showed what it could do by beating the county champs and playing Abingdon to a standstill in the District Tourney. It tucked the scalps of the fast Academy quintet in its belt, too. Many of the players are Seniors ; but with a classy set of âsubs and two or three lettermen back, we predict a favorable sea- son next term.

Six men received their letters, and some new material was discovered. We were fairly represented in tennis, too, though not quite so well as in the previous year. We expect to do much better this year, though the weather is hardly tit for outdoor practiee. While there are only five men hack from last yearâs squad, the track team this year has a bright outlook. Several men have reported to Coach Elder, and much enthusiasm is being shown. More students are becoming interested in this sport, and it is hoped that sometime in the future a track will he constructed here. If interest and spirit are good omens. Avon will make a good showing in the meets this year. A new feature was a dual meet held with Fairview High School at Fairview. on April 17. It was a success from our point of view and much credit is due to the men who took part in this meet. Time was slow due to the condition of the track. Following are the results: 50 YD.
