It is responsible for taking attendance at meals, delivering notices at meals, and for taking food to the Infirmary. The Committee is divided into two staffs, the Dining Room Staff and the Infirmary Staff. The boys on the Dining Room Staff take attendance and deliver messages at all meals. They must make a list of the boys who are absent at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and turn it into the Aide. At lunch they must distribute important messages from the Aide, Dean, and Infirmary. Members of the Infirmary Staff are responsible for tak- ing meals over to the sick people in the Infirmary. These members must first report to the Infirmary before each meal and find out how many meals are needed. Then they must pick the food up in the kitchen and carry it over to the Infirmary, regardless of the weather. It is quite evident that Avon owes much gratitude to the Dining Room Committee. The Dining Room Com- mittee is under the supervision of Mr. Kilgour. Rob Jones is Chairman of the Committee.

Its purpose is the handling of the social needs of the school and seeing that they are car- ried out efliciently. To Make What Goes On At Avon, Go Better is the club's motto and is is genuinely lived up to. The Gold Key is in charge of the Sports' Teas and Sunday Teas at the Pierponts' and Kinkades' homes. The club is very selective in choosing its members. A student interested in being a member of the club must first go through a trial period during the Fall. The boys trying out for Gold Key are assigned various activities which are supervised by a club member. They are taught the correct forms of social customs. The faculty advisor is Mr. Dochtermann, who has con- tributed greatly to the improvement and success of the club. Jack Stokvis handled the Presidency and must be commended .for his unselhsh devotion to the better- ment ofthe Gold Key.
