Years Activities Furnish Registration was an initial step toward higher education” encountered by sophomores in August. Each week, each day, every 55 minutes, doors swung open and 2,160 students poured out of classrooms into the halls, the lounge, and at lunch across the street. 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.

Students This year marked the appearance of sev- eral fine additions to Arlington. A handsome new City Hall arose on Abrams Street, where it adds an atmosphere of modern efficiency to downtown Arlington. Juniors and seniors struggling to finish research themes thanked their stars for the new city library. We from AHS especially appreciated the convenience of the remodeled Arlington State College football field, since all our home games took place there. Realizing the significance of religion in their lives, students were active participants at church functions. 14 Arlington's new City Hall attracted many admiring glances and numerous compliments.
