1940 ' s March of Time LASS OF ' 40 started off in a new building - - - thie first class to spend all six years of junior and senior high school in the present location. As ' 40 entered the freshman year of high school, it was noted that many activities had been added to the already impressive list - - among them was the Latin Club - - - a new extra-curricular award design contest provided the stu- dents with excitement and the school with a suitable award for activity participation - - - coming into prominence among the other activities was our fast growing band - - - school spirit Vvos fostered by our successful drive to obtain bond uniforms - ■■ - In the sophomore year we saw the founding of the Dramatic Club and watched its rise to popularity - - - that year saw the second afternoon sport dance as given by our class - - - In our junior year we had the distinction of being the first class ever to hove an evening sport dance - - - a colorful Junior Prom, with a theme of a tropical Hawaiian night, was the climax of the year. The school itself was growing in leaps and bounds for that year saw the first girls ' physical education direc- tor - - - simultaneously many new sports entered into Arling- ton ' s life - - - among which were soccer, tennis, ping pong, Softball, volley ball - - - And now in our senior year we note many improvements since we first entered the school - - - a new gym, additional classrooms, an ultra-modern auditorium, and a huge athletic field. By way of class activities - - we have been rushed - - - the social season was opened with a bang when our class held the second evening sport dance in the school ' s history - - - we won the boys ' intercloss basketball crown for the second successive year. The rushing of seniors in all directions began in second semester - - - the early appearance of Anchors - - - Commencement - - - Class Night - - - and as our fondest memory - - - the Stardust Prom - - - During the short time we have spent in this school we hove seen our debate chapter rise to an important position in the State - - - We shall never forget the members of the faculty who so ably aided us during our high school years - - - among our class advisors hove been Miss Long- muir and Mr. Neidhardt - - - we thank them for helping us to steer our class through seas - - - we also wish to thank Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Reimers for their part in making our yearbook a success - - - and to Mr. Stearns we turn a grateful countenance for enduring our antics and speeding our class well on its way - - - and lost, but not least, we will long remember those others who have helped us so much and have received no recognition - - - With these few words we declare our book of current events in Arlington officially closed - - - and in our new life, we too join the March of Time - - -
