High School Course of Study HERE are two courses of study planned to equip students for entrance to any of the higher institutions of learning of this state. Students should choose that course of study best suited to the profession for which they are preparing themselves. The princi- pal will gladly advise any student who consults him on this point. For the benefit of those who do not expect to take a full four- years’ course but wish to enter business, courses in Bookkeeping and Commercial Arithmetic are also offered. It is hoped in time to add a complete Business Course and departments in Manual Training and Domestic Science with competent instructors.

ATHLETICS PURPOSE AND ORGANIZATION ITIGH School Athletics have passed both the experimental and I) and the “fad” stage, and have become recognized as a neces- sity in the proper development of the high school student. High school athletics, if placed under restraint to keep them in their proper relations to the other phases of school work, become not only a means of physical training, but a potent means of moral training as well. The aim of Athletics in the Arlington High School is,—not to produce a physical hero and a moral coward, but a well developed moral nature in a sound body. The Athletics of the High school are at present under student control. This arrangement has not wholly passed the experimental stage. The student body, incorporated in the Arlington High School Athletic Association, have shown thus far ability to suc- cessfully cope with the most difficult questions. The A. H. S. Tennis Club, the athletic teams, and any other athletic organiza- tions which may arise, are subordinate and auxiliaiy to the Ath- letic Association. The executive duties of the association are del- egated to a Board of Control composed of three faculty and two student members. Arlington High School belongs to the Athletic Association of Accredited High Schools of Western Washington, and all inter- scholastic sports are governed by its rules. TENNIS Tennis is under the management of the A. H. S. Tennis Club. This club is composed of about thirty members. There are two courts at present. At the close of each season the club holds a tournament tc determine the school championship. BASEBALL The High School has always been represented in baseball by a
