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

The Boomerang MEMORIES OF LONG AGO Are these the old school days Hack again with me. Or but a fond remembrance Of a school boy’s memory? 0 school days enchanted! I seem to see them all Pass before my vision now. As they used to. down the hall. So I turn the leaves of fancy. Til in varied design. 1 find the many features Of those old school friends of mine. That wonderful faculty. Headed by Superintendent Reeve. Even though we were dull He was never very peeved. As I dream the old days over. Smoking here by my fireside I look back at old Avon High With mingled joy and pride. Marshall Staoos. :: :: THE SOPHOMORES Inside the Avon High School The gallant Sophomores work; The Sophomores, a mighty class we are. And our studies we never shirk. With Smitty as our leader We'll advance to the front line. And we’ll prove that we are champions If you'll only give us time. It will not be long ’til we’re Seniors. But we shall never forget the year When w-e were studious Sophomores And the intelligence we gained so dear. Bernice Woods. TWENTY-FOUR
