For five minutes our halls teemed with people until the tardy bell restored relative quiet. Next year this will not happen in exact- ly the same way. For the first time there will be two high schools in Arlington and a much smaller student body in each. That means that this year was special, because it was the last time Arlington High existed by itself. What else made this year special? There were registration and Homecoming, mums and Senior rings. Western Day and Gradua- tion, assemblies and research themes, just as there always have been. But this year’s activ- ities were unique because a different group experienced them. The distinctive personality of the group that worked and played this year will never be duplicated. Instead, the mums, the pep rallies, the Homecoming Parade, and the prom pictures were tucked away among memories that made a specially special year.
