Left to Rlght Jones R Turner Walker, R.g Jenkinsg Duff, R. LAST OF THE SECGND FORM For many years Avon had what was known as the Lower School. This division was made up of the First and Second Forms. Due to Avon's development and to the increasingly smaller size of these two classes, we no longer have a Lower School. The Class of 562 contains six boys who have been at Avon for five years. These are the last of the Second Form. The boys are Alan Jenkins, Rick Duff, Peter Trimingham, Bob Walker, Lee Turner, and Rob jones. Five years is a long time at Avon. Masters have come and gone, the student roster has changed several times, with the beginning of the development plan many physical changes have occurred. During the time spent at Avon these six students have made the transforma- tion from boy to man. They have gained the knowledge which only time and experience impart. The Winged Beaver wishes to bid fare- well to the last remaining members of the Lower School.

The Fifth Form this year did not differ drastically from the Fifth Forms of the past. We studied, worked and played equally as hard or harder than classes preceding us. Hopefully, succeeding classes will better the standards we have set. Members of our class contributed greatly to all phases of campus life, including scholastics, athletics, and extracurricular activities. As the year opened, many well-endowed new stu- dents helped our class reach its peak. Excellent poets and artists added a new Havor to our many achievements, not to mention the athletes and scholars which we have gained. Our many old students also helped our form progress towards the ultimate goal of seniority. Individuality also became an important factor in our activities. Various people improved upon old skills, while at the same time developing completely new and diversified talents. These tended to help our class become more well-rounded, and also gave us a sense of direction absent in previous years. In conclusion, our class has at least 'attained many of its old goals, while at the same time setting many new ones, most likely to be attained in our senior year. Once these are accomplished, we will most certainly have a good start on the long, hard path of life. 54- FIFTH FORM HISTORY
