Foreword No school is a single existence, an en- tity in itself. It is only a loose gathering of the individuals which make it up, and it gains its personality from the individual person- ality—you. Because a school has no character or distinction except through the character of its members, it is a varied and many-faceted creation. Each person sees in high school his own varied interests as well as a reflection of the interests of his classmates. The clubs to which he belongs, the people he knows, the events that mean very much to him—all aspects of school life flash by in kaleidoscope colors during the years he spends in senior high. Yet, though viewed through the eyes of hundreds of people, the pieces fall together into one total pattern, one huge mosaic of many hues which makes up Arlington High School. It is hoped that this book will pre- serve that whole pattern—as seen by you, the individual.
