Mrs. Cooper has taught at Avon High School for five years and has kept the yearbook successfully orbiting all those years. Ste is a friendly teacher who is liked by all the students and teachers. We are fortunate indeed to have Mrs. Cooper as a teacher and we proudly dedicate our yearbook to her. Superintendent, D. M.

This year we initiated five new members into the chapter, which brings the total membership to thirty-two. The chapter this year has done many different things as: sponsored the home- coming activities: conducted a scrap iron drive and earned enough money for a trip to Chicago Livestock show; planned the school Sweetheart Dance with the F. H. A. We feel this has been a most successful year in the history of the F. F. A.

The Grade School Band has been very active this year. It gave an outstanding marching display at the homecoming parade. The members also proved themselves to be a fine concert band at our Mid- Winter Concert. We expect great things from this group in contest this year. The seniors have been studying and preparing for three years so that by theirV ourdi year they could go into full orbit. This year ue eniors have synchronized all their studying and high school activ- ities into a perfectly timed orbit.
