FRESHM EN As this year's Freshman class looks back over its Junior High record a lot of pleasant memories come to mind-particularly the fine representation in Junior High plays and more than one successful bake sale. As Freshmen, they really began the year with a bang when they sponsored the Pigskin Wiggle, a successful informal football dance. Although the class is large, the co- operation is super-super. Becky Matz, Carolyn Dill, Bill Rylander, and Johnny Evans were the officers for the year. Ben Harpster and Ruth Gibson are the two Ems- worth American Legion award winners who have added a great deal to the class as well as the Avonworth winners, Becky Matz and Johnny Evans. Big things are ahead for the class of '44. BIQLI-O

JUNIORS READY TO BOARD SENIOR SHIP Three years ago the present Junior class entered Avonworth High School to become acquainted with life, love and the thrills of learning. lt Was not long until We felt as though we were Ben Avon, for these many long years Call three of themj clearly re- vealed our hidden talents. Our class seemed to fit into all activi- ties, and immediately we were recognized as THE class of this institution of higher learning. Our first appearance was made by several members of our class on the I937 gridiron, and again in sports when the basketball sea- son arrived. Besides these activities We turn- ed our attention toward the in- tellectual side of Avonworth, when We produced the youthful production of Growing Pains. A few of our dramatically inclined students of the class, then Sopho- mores, showed their abilities on fbe Reiwi I the stage in the mysterious per- formance, The Skull. We aided in Avonworth's social life, having sponsored une tres belle danse in our Freshman year, and une danse superbe in our Sophomore year. These were topped by une danse magnifiquem in this year's program. Outside of school we were just a part of the gang, for the Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y were rep- resented by many members of this successful class of i4l. We invaded the glee clubs and a cappella choir, and at the same time we were eight strong in the orchestra. Talented members of ouriclass have entered state Forensic League contests. All and we were bers as well leaders who through our Avonworth. did the school credit, proud of these mem- as of our able class led us so gallantly educating years at l22l
