Mr. A. Avella is aided by A. Aromando and T. Berne in introducing the Hillside Students' Government Association at the Rutgers convention. Two heads are better than one in planning Hillside High's future, especially when they're Mr. Custer's and Mr. Avella's. Mr. A. Avella attacks the fundamentals of safe hunting for a group of amateur Daniel Boones. A MR. ANTHONY AVELLA Assistant Principal IN ASSUMING his new title of assistant-principal, Mr. Anthony Avella is charged with many di- verse responsibilities. He comes in contact with students from A to Z as he not only is the adviser to the Students' Gen- eral Association, but also han- dles all disciplinary problems. A school as large as ours is great- ly benefited by the hall patrol which is organized and super- vised by Mr. Avella. We are all familiar with our Well- equipped and businesslike school store which is also run under the supervision of Mr. Avella. The many services which he per- forms intensify the efliciency of our administration department and instill in us, the students, a greater sense of democracy and co-operation.
