EDITORIAL
Class sweaters are one of the many
traditions of the Seniors in Avalon
High School.Tbe sweaters are deci-
ded upon at the first of the school
year, and carry out the class colo/'s.
Almost every Senior wears his sweat-
er throughout his senior year.
Last Thursday the entire class walk-
ed in late to the Assembly, dressed in
their new blue sweaters. There is a
sentiment attached to this tradition,
and the Seniors feel more of a class
unity since it is their last year to par-
ticipate in the school activities. And
they want to have something to take
with them to hold them in closer con-
tact with their fellow students and
teachers after they have graduated.
