eapailerq ' XVARREN HOLLENBACK Ben Avon Principal ROBERT M, Booos Emstuorth Principal OLIVER R. FLOYD Supervising Principal DOROTHY GETTY Secretary This year more than ever before, due to the war and the many changes which the war has brought on, the need of a sound and helpful administra- tion was urgent. The faculty and student body had felt the inroads made on them by the war. and it was therefore necessary to replace the vacancies in the faculty with capable instructors, and also to present an interesting and sound curriculum to the students. The administration proved that it was equal to the task. The new teachers proved quite adequate. and a curriculum was planned which was quite satisfactory to all of the students. Not only were the educational activities planned and carried out to satisfac- tion. but the administration approved the idea of carrying on a regular series of chapel programs, a series which proved highly interesting and enjoyable to students and teachers alike. Dr. Floyd, Mr. Hollenback, and Mr, Boggs proved once again that they were very reliable leaders. They were always eager and responsive to the needs of the faculty and students. They were especially helpful in advising the pupils Of this year's graduating class as to their part in the war effort, and adjusting the underclassmen to the courses of study which would prove most helpful in the war effort after they have graduated. Mrs. Getty was again on hand as a friend and willing helper. We of the Avonworth Student Body may consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be directed by such capable administrators. ,I '--' .AGL r ef ,:A2- ff -2-l ' l i ' 5? id K ,, ,O 5.73931 T K Q ...La -.4 l A it 12 ' 5

a 0 ' The faculty of Avonworth l-ligh School is to be highly commended for the manner in which it carried out its assigned ciuties during this very uncertain school year just passing. Many familiar faces from last year's staff were missing, and it was up to the new ones to take the places of these old friends. Miss Snyder, Mrs, Harris, Miss Blair, Miss Frobauck, and Mr. Anderson took over this difficult task and at once endeared themselves to the student body. The old and the new members of the faculty have co-operated fully and have thus been responsible for a most successful year. Mr. Hollen- back's duties again extended into the classroom, and the pre- flight courses taught by him and Mr. Black will be of in- valuable aid to the many boys who are entering the Navy and Army Air Forces. The spirit of comradeship between the students and teach- ers was very noticeable this year in both curricular activities. This feeling went far in making a most successful year. and the students are indebted to the teachers for their interests. The underclassmen join the Class of 1944 in wishing continued success and good luck to the faculty through the coming years.
