CLASS HI TORY It came to pass in the fullness of time that the class of 1954 did gather upon the sixth day of September, 1950, for a trip through the Avon High School, much famed for its dissemination of knowledge. They had collected a goodly amount of necessary baggage, in the way of bits of geography, sections of arithmetic, bunches of dates, fresh from the tree of history, packages of civics, and a supply of grammar. Each, however, had the required ticket--a certificate of promotion from the last station, The Eighth Grade. And it came to pass that promptly upon the stroke of nine they did answer the Con- ductor's cry All aboard and start out on the upgrade in the Train of Knowledge. They were given places in the Freshman Section, and they found the train equipped with a fine dining car whose capable chefs supplied them with much food for their mental growth and development, They .did choose, as president of their group, J immie Miller, who should see that they gained sufficient class pep, loyalty and school spiritg Conductor Mr. Bolander saw to it that they properly digested the meals served them by the Faculty Chefs and Porters. The passengers in the car were: Flossie Ashcroft, Patricia Baker, Gailene Benton, Joel Birch, Joy Bosley, Sandra Bradford, Harry Bradley, Vivian Bruce, Laquota Carver, Bobby Christy, Robert Coons, Ronnie Cooper, Doc Crouch, Mildred Faulkner, Eddie Francis, Wayne Gray, Loretta Gross, Glenna Hiser, Betty Holmes, Robert Holt, Patty Lang, Ruth McClain, Bill Merritt, Jimmie Miller, Ronnie Miles, Joe Money, Barbara Nester, Marilyn Nowling, Donald Owens, Margaret Roller, Jane Selch, Jerry Smith, Vivian Smith, Jimmy Stewart, Frank Tharp, Larry Webb, Peggy Jacobs, and Lois Thomas. At the end of the first year, having successfully met the requirements of Freshman passengers, they were transferred to the Sophomore car and, with a membership of 30, bravely endured the jolting of the rougher travel. Again, Jimmie Miller was chosen president of the trip for this year, and the journey was livened by stops for a number of parties and occasions of gaiety. Pranks were frequently indudged in when the Conductor, Mr, Cox, Head Brakeman and Porters were looking after other sections of the Train. Three new passengers joined us: Elizabeth Acton, James Hastings, and Mary Schell.
