Toot and Pat 'igoof-offi' at lunch time. Wendy. Carol, and Pat feel the after-effects of a held trip to Pittsburgh, john and Ralph beg Sandy to buy a pencil for the benefit of the senior class. And these are some of the mature minds of Ad- vanced English class. As the seniors don their caps and gowns on May 27, they will record the final event in a long list of activities and achievements at Avonworth High School. Here we have space to mention only the more notable ones. The sale of pens, pencils, and boolccovers, and the arrival of class rings during our soph- omore year marked the introduction of our class into senior high activities. Passing into our junior and senior years, we found that our athletes composed the great- er part of the football, basketball, and golf squads. The list of our achievements began to grow with members of our class partici- pating in Time Out for Ginger and The Night of January Sixteenth. Rock Around the Clock. a roclc and roll version of school life, copped first honors in the assembly awards of our junior year, as did our talce-off on The Steve Allen Show as seniors. Members of the class capably held top offices on the De Rebus and Avonews staffs, and in many other organiza- tions. We had the distinction of electing to the office of Student Council president the first girl in six years. Adding to the class' honor, a member was chosen to participate in the East- ern States Chorus at Atlantic City in March. Scholastically, the class of ,57 had always ranlced high, with members placing in the Civic Club and National Merit tests, and in the DAR essay contest. johnny Jump, Snowman Swing, Basket- ball Bounce, Sleigh Ride, and An Old Fash- ioned Walk can not be forgotten as the main highlights of our social calendar at Avon- worth. Then came one of our most memorable experiences-our senior trip to Washington and New York in May. Arriving home after an enjoyable week, we found the senior prom. Final exams, and our class dinner following in quick succession. Thus, as commencement brings our class activities to an end. we, the class of '57. will depart, taking with us many memories and leaving behind high standards of achievement for others to emulate.
