Administrative history

In October 1915, the Avon Literary Society was organized to study the works of Shakespeare. Its name was derived from the river Avon on which Stratford, the town where Shakespeare lived, is located. The purpose of the Avon Literary Society was the literary advancement of its members, to give members practice using parliamentary rules, and to assist its members in becoming more useful to the school and society. The society is not listed in the Talahi yearbook after the 1937-1938 school year. The last mention is from the January 31, 1947 issue of the Chronicle that notes the Avon Literary Society had disbanded.
