The Clee Club was one of the most successful Avon has seen in many years. More arrangements were sung than in the past. This is partly because this year's club could absorb more music than previous groups. Avon had six concerts this year. The schools were Chaffe, Rosemary Hall, Mary A. Burnam, St. Mar- garet's, Stoneleigh Prospect Hill, and the Newport School. Each was a memorable occasion. Each concert begins with the Girl's Glee Club singing their various arrangements. Then the Avon Club fol- lows and presents theirs. The Avon Heirs come next and add humor to the occasion. After this the com- bined Clee Clubs attempt to sing a joint number. This arrangement has never been previously rehearsed and no one knows exactly how it will sound. A dance ends the occasion with music supplied by the Avon band. Mr. Grove has done an excellent job with this group of boys. The Glee Clubs of the future may have to look back at this year's club with envy.

SECOND ROW: Williams, B., Leonard, W., Taliaferro, Baer, Harwood, Steinback, Dale At Avon Old Farms we believe that the worldls vital and pending problems can be viewed intelligently only by having small informal discussions. It has been the policy of the History Club to fulfill this goal. This year the interest on the part of the student body was so great that the club quickly reached its small charter of twenty-one students. With its officers, Jack Stokvis - President, John Horner - Vice President, Rick Valentine - Secretary, and Wooly Lyon - Treasurer and with strong support from Masters Tongue, Mendell, and Kimball, the club functioned smoothly. The highlight of the year was the Model United Na- tions assembly held annually in April at the University of Hartford under the auspices of the F.P.A. Jack Stokvis was elected to the position of Vice- President of the General Assembly, while Robin 7 Holby, Keyston, Wagner, Bishop, Benson, Gagnon, G., Mer- ritt, Kamerman, jenkins, Greenberg. Taliaferro was elected to be a reporter for one of the four committees. This marked the seventh consecu- tive time that Avon has led the Model United Nations. Avon Old Farms actively participated in the two an- nual S.S.S.I.C. meetings. At the fall conference deal- ing with alternate courses of action, the History Club faithfully supported the United States position of Uni- lateral Action in the Cuban affair. In the Spring Con- ference, Avon Old Farms supported Italyls claims in a Model Common Market Conference. This small, energetic club has fulfilled its goal, and has made its members aware of the importance of ob- jectivity in considering the world situation. Thus does Avon Old Farms contribute to the furthering of world understanding.
