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.

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 everyone’s 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. TWENTf-TWO
