The success of this team was not due to the h eroics of one indi­ vidual, but the combined efforts of a group of hard-working dedicated seniors and underclassmen who had something to p~ove to themselves an1 and to their opponents. Many of this year's squad were members of th1 1980 squad that endured an 0-8 season. A winless season can sometime. be deceiving. If put into its proper perspective, many valuable lessr can be learned. Opening our season with a 20-0 win over Canterbury i was obvious from the start that Avon was a year older and wiser. Of ~ sively the running of Captains Jerry Garvey and Edwin Esson gave oppo ing defenses fits throughout the entire year. Both Garvey and Esson rushed for over 1,000 yards. They combined to give Avon the most d ev astating one-two-punch in the league. At the QB position, Andy Fisher showed a great deal of poise a nd leadership ability and hooked up with senior wide receivers Mike McNa and Dave Jacobs frequently through the airways. Last, but not least, our offensive line was anchored by Ed Stewa a hard working dedicated senior. Kevin Stanton d i d a tremendous job at guard, as did Kinson Craft and Mike Briggs who opened sorn gaping holes throughout the year. Corning off the bench with consiste ntly strong performances were Pete Brown and Mark Masinter at wide rece i vE and John Feitelberg and Bill Dorhmann at the guards. Perhaps the greatest thrill of the year carne on Parents' Day. ~ up against a strong Taft squad, the Winged Beavers posted a 35-6 win. Although our offense performed well, our defense led by seniors Jarne ~ Lindemuth, James White, Brian Conroy, Dave Jacobs, Steve Dyson, Mike Briggs, Townsend Morey , and a host of juniors and sophomores stymi e d Taft time and time again. During the season finale verses Kingswood, Daniel Green kicked a 52 yard field goal which marks the longest successful kick to date by a Connecticut schoolboy football player and will certainly be re­ membered for a long time by the members of the team and Avon football followers. In summary, 1981 was truly a year to be remembered. The coaching staff will miss each of this year's graduating seniors, many of which will move into collegiate football programs. Each of these individuals have made a tremendous contribution to their school and should certainly be proud of the standard of excellence that they established during their years at Avon Old Farms. The underclassmen have some big shoes to fill, but with hard work , and the type of leadership provided by this year's senior class, the framework has been established for continued success. 30n ndi­ ated s and f the ~ times lesso try it Offe oppos :;son : dev- e and McNa: Stewai job ,ing ~ly ~ceive ~ 1y.

The 1981 Junior Varsity Football Team proved to be the most successful J.V. Team since 1976. We finished the Fall campaign with six wins, no losses, and one tie. The J.V. Team defeated Westminster, Kent, Loomis, Kingswood, Taft and Suffield. A frustrating tie against Choate did not deminish the feeling of cohesiveness that developed throughout the Fall season. The starters demonstrated good skills and intensity and the non­ starters saw a lot of playing time and made excellent improvement Our most satisfying victory was our 12-0 win over Taft. After a zero to zero tie in the first half, the J.V. scored twice on a field that was ankle deep in cold mud and windy enough to whistle through your helmet. We avenged the only loss we suffered in the 1980 Season , The 1981 Team was young and willing to learn the skills necessary to make the transition to the Varsity level. It was a distinct pleasure for myself and Coach La Rocque to work with such a highly motivated and mature group of football players.

    Student Handbook Rules, Regulations, and Information for the Academic Year { 2010-11 } Mission Statement Avon Old Farms School strives to be the best school for boys by cultivating young men of integrity who honor wisdom, justice, service, and the pursuit of truth. We promote intellectual, creative, and emotional growth in our students by providing a structured, supportive learning environment that encourages self-discovery and social responsibility. % Our core values are central to fulfilling our mission. On pages 37 and 38 we list and define these values. Each year we focus on one of our core values and strive to incorporate it into many of the programs we present. This year we are going to focus on the value of civility and hope to improve the quality of life on campus by promoting this value throughout our community. Civility is treating others with respect and valuing them. In the classroom, on the playing fields, and in all areas of residential life, members of the Avon community are expected to interact with each other respectfully. Because of the close community living that we experience at Avon, we will, on occasion, find ourselves in situations where conflicts arise. In the spirit of civility, these conflicts must be resolved without resorting to physical or verbal outbursts. In truly valuing the opinion of others, we will find emotional balance and civil resolutions to our conflicts. The Golden Rule, which advises us to “do unto others as we would have them do unto us,” has for centuries provided us with wise insight into the essence of civility.

    AVON OLD FARMS SCHOOL Student Handbook Rules, Regulations, and Information for the Academic Year { 2014-15 } Mission Statement Avon Old Farms School strives to be the best college preparatory school for boys by cultivating young men of integrity, who honor wisdom, justice, inclusion, service and the pursuit of truth. % Our core values are essential to fulfilling our mission. On page 38 we list and define these core values and we strive to incorporate these values into our residential life programs throughout the year. % Why read the Handbook? This handbook contains information that will be helpful in guiding you through the school year. It should be read carefully and kept as a reference. While its purpose is to provide information, the section on School Rules defines the standards that we are expected to live by while at Avon. They are not meant to be burdensome; rather, they define a way of life that will promote a productive and rewarding school year.
