All the upper classmen marveled at their sweetness of disposition and the remarkable brain power which they displayed. A great future was piophesied for the class, and time has proved that the prophecy was perfectly right. The motto Pluck, Pep and Perseverance was adopted and we pro- ceeded to live up to it, particularly the Pep. After a very lively initiation and mixer we entered the hall of learning as full fledged Freshmen, and now, after four years we have proved our right to enter the Hall of Fame. We began, even at an early date, to exhibit the traits which later made us famous. Carl Moll began to be tardy at least three times a week. The famous friendship of Marguerite and Bob was begun and Ardis Van Allen blossomed forth as a literary light. Also Lenore was graduallly proving that she was never meant for single blessedness. After a year of hard work, for we took our work very seriously in those days, we entered joyfully upon the three months vacation. At the close of summer we returned to school as Sophomores. wc were very proud of our record and proceeded to impress the Freshmen with our importance, as the upper classmen didn t seem to notice it. However, our bump of conceit soon subsided and we began to realize that hard work and honest endeavor were necessary to make the grade. During our Sophomore year we worked hard and long for Red Cross and relief drives. Our efforts were well repaid when our class raised the largest amount. During this year there were very few social activities and athletics were limited to a basketball team. But even to these our class contributed “Pi uck, pep and Perseverance Toward the end of the year the war activities were dropped. This permitted a Hijh Jinks to be given to raise funds for the Athletic Association. We also entertained the Juniors at a party in the Domestic Science building. In the last quarter Bob Johnstone enrolled m our class after two years in the army. We heaved a collective sigh when the Spring exams, were past and we were ready to embark as Juniors in the {all. In 1919 we returned again. This year we took a more important part in the initiation of the Freshmen. We were very glad to see our ranks aug- mented by three ex-service men, Pau 1 M arsh, Clayton Vmmeand Ralph Hunter. There was an enthusiastic revival of athletics this year. The J uniors contributed several star players both in baske tball and football. Social activ- ities were also renewed. We entertained the Seniors at a St. Patricks Day 13 party. Later we gave them a memorable beach party on the banks of the river. The three months of summer vacation quickly passed and twenty-six of us returned for our fourth grade. At last we were Seniors. W e had earned the right to move over into the alcove and to carry on conversations during the study hours. Wc proudly assumed our newly won dignities and allowed the faculty to help us run the school. On September 3 we elected our officers. Boh Johnstone was re-elected president. Boh Forbes vice-presi- dent and Sylvia Botten class musician. At a later class meeting Blanche Holton and Ardis Van Allen were elected class reporters. Violets and yel- low roses were adopted as the class flowers. Then we entered upon the bus- iness of being full-fledged Seniors. We enjoyed to the utmost our privileges, althou several of us were asked to remain by special request for being too socially inclined. On Sep- tember 17 we gave the annual mixer. It was a i onous success, the Frosh be- ing very thoroughly mixed. When the football season opened a large mega- phone was offered to the class selling the most tickets. The race lay between the Sophomores and the Seniors almost from the begmmmg. The competition for the prize was very close up to the last day when the Sophomores won it by a eoup d'etat, much to our disappointment. However, it did not dampen our spirits for long. The Faithful Four, a quartet of Senior girls, attended every game of the season, going with the team when it sought conquest in enemy territory. —ARDIS VAN ALLEN, '21 14 FINALE We have won another battle And our weary task is done. We have struggled on unceasing. But the dear old goal is won. Oh, the trials and the hardships And the teachers so supreme. Who with fiendish glee would flunk us. Now appear as in a dream. Yes, we foolishly did grumble; Thought the world was far too hard; Swore we crammed each eve till midnight; Glanced with terror at each card: Spoiled our pleasures by complaining That the years were ages long. But we've found at last, with sorrow. That each year was hut a song. How distinctly wc remember When we hit the Freshman class We were timid, cowering infants And they called us green as grass; We would come to school real early. Try and memorize our hooks. Then the office had its terrors And we feared the teachers looks. Then as Sophomores people knew us Bu t no longer were we shy; Looked with pity on the Freshmen; Thought our hunch was all the pie; Spent our com on ties and loud socks; Ducked from school to see a show; Dissipated much on sodas; To the hall games we did go. But we set the pace while Juniors. Then the fair ones would we court; Took in all the shows and dances. For each Junior was a sport; 15 FIN A LE— Continued Took some Honors in athletics. Almost Heat tHe Seniors too; Slid along in all our studies And our motto was Slip through. But the last lap was so brilliant That it e en outshone the Sun And to tell it is not modest. But my duty must he done; For the classes gone before us Fade away as in a mist. And it hurts me to disgrace them But my classmates all insist. Oh, Twould honor even Caesar And Napol eon the Great Could they turn from dust and wander Up our golden path so straight; And our teachers, once so learned, ill have little more to say When they hear what we accomplish When we step into the fray. For our class is great in numbers And life's battles we defy. When our hero s hit their stride, they ! Make the wheels of progress fly. For We' ve learned that every labor Will require both heart and soul; We must learn to fight our failures If we hope to win our goal. Ah! we sail to foreign waters But fond mem ries bring a sigh For our true and faithful comrades And the happy days gone by. So, our faith will be eternal. And as we soar on high Our toast will be forever To Arlington, dear old Hi. ---Robert V.

To us, in those dear Freshmen days when we entered the austere gray stone structure known to the Arlington public as the High School, no wiser a class ever entered. But, as you may imagine, our self-confidence slipped a little when the upper classes announced the annual Freshman mixer, and from then on met us each morning with threats as to the coming event. Their stories grew heyond all hounds and if it had not been for the threats opposing we home bodies, some of us might have been minus when it came time to rope and blindfold us. Despite this little initiation we soon gathered nerve enough to swee tly and unselfishly entertain ourselves. With a regretful glance we started on our summer vacations only to find ourselves, in no time, back again at High. This time, from the high and mighty position of Sophomores, who scornfully laughed at and abused in gen- eral, principally by ignoring, the 'Children of '19.” TKc poor dears were terribly oppressed and were, of course, more inferior in the spirit in which they accepted the Mixture than were their preceding examples of brilliancy. They sometimes hardly treated us with due respect, but when we con- sidered the wonderful time they showed us one evening we decided to over- look this minor incivility. They were, we concluded, after our trivial preju- dice began to subside, quite sociable, so under the guidance of Miss Wood, we planned an outdoor picnic for the lower class. Since this is Washington, we were forced to hold our picnic indoors, but nevertheless had an enjoyable afternoon. Aside from a few jokes our superior classes found time to bestow upon us, the notes we caused to circulate and the candy and gum we saw disappear, our progress was scarcely impeded during this secsnd year at High School, consequently it slipped rapidly by and let us off at the next station, which T • « was Junior. This year we are in the height of our ecstacy, being given almost as much consederation as the Seniors themselves. Of course, there are no com- mencement exercises or class plays for us now but the prospects don t look so bad and we were duly selected for the reorganization of this, the school An- nual. TKis is the time in our school career when we may lend a helping hand in all events. We not only are allowed to humbly serve the Seniors, but the 20 entire school, hy giving it our loyal support in athletics of every kind. On our football field there were Juniors, so also did they appear in basketball, and you surely did not fail to notice our strong representation in track. Many victories have been ours in every plane, but may we not thank our class advisers one and all, from Miss Kirk, the advisor who not only councelled but was a Freshman with us, to the faithful Mr. Boyer, of today? They have not only lead the way to our successes but have taught us how to receive our defeats, for of course, there were some. Let us recognize, however, the admirable example set by the Seniors (ahem!) and inform them of the extreme grief caused by our parting. e are ready and capable of taking their places, of surpassing them in honors and of giggling in the alcove to our hearts content. W e have assembled from far and near, have gone through hardships together and now we can testify that never anywhere can be found a jollier “hale fellow well met group than the Class of'22. —IRIS DUSK IN, 9 22 M 21 TO THE JUNIORS 00 Here s to the Juniors, one and all, A class of valor; they 11 never fall: Entered as Freshmen, strong in the race; Became good Sophomores, with many a grace.

Bumpety, hump, hump went the several different school buses as they rolled in from the four corners of the earth, whence they had gone to gather the student hody of the Arlington Hi. Even the dignified and disdainful looks of the upper classmen sitting opposite did not quench the ardor of the Freshmen of 1919. The pittity-pat-pat of our hearts as we climbed the Hi. School steps for the first time, was almost equal to the humping of the school buses; and oh, the overwhelming embarrassment and dismay upon being laughed at by our superiors. In the course of time, however, we discovered our re- spective class rooms and settled down to work. Hi school labors, we learned, could he enlightened by visits to the li- brary, and made enjoyable by the usual method of disposing of all confections. Then one day at our principal s suggestion, we gaily betook ourselves down stairs and proceeded to elect officers and organize our class under the compe- tent guidance of our able advisor, Miss Kirk. Here was cause for thought as well as fun and we raked our brains for prospective leaders. The results were that we marched upstairs with a new dignity and consciousness of our power, for the following officers had been elected: Einar Botten, Matt Sop- er and Catherine Adams. Wc decided also that henceforth pink and green should distinguish us on the athletic field and other school activities, while the pink rose should adorn our festive tables. All good things come to an end, they say, and our peace departed at the prospects of the Freshman Mixer. Terrible threats and stories that even made the boldest tremble, invaded our troubled minds. We approached our former place of pleasure on the appointed n igKt, W1 tK fear and trembling. Initiation exercises were far more pleasant than we ex- pected, however, and once again we breathed in peaee. But more good times were in store for us. Ve accepted the invitation to the Sophomore picnic with light, untroubled hearts, and in spite of a breach of etiquette on the part of the weather man we had an agreeable time. Athletics now claimed our attention and the infant class of 23 boasted its share of champions. Three cheers for our athletic leader! Through his untiring efforts Arlington was chosen as the scene of the county track meet. 26 Here again was the Freshmens opportunity to shine! Truly we did shine. Arlington to he sure, did not gain the championship, hut men of '23 were among the foremost and our anticipation rose for next year. Why did the students look glum? Reason enough. Miss Kirk announced her intentions of leaving at the close of the year. We were powerless in changing her decision. So we gave a party and endeavored to convince her of our appreciation of her faithful and helpful services. The Gods favored us in that party; everything went off beautifully and soon we were prepairing to attend the commencement exercises of the Seniors. As we watched the suc- cessful results of their efforts our minds traveled to a time three years later when we should he doing much the same as they. Just as we had humped along in our first trip in the buses, so we now took our last, this time, however, with pleasant prospects of summer vacation to he spent in all manner of sports as a reward for our unceasing (?) indus- try of the winter, and pleasant thoughts of the approaching year from the standpoint of Sophomores. September, 1920. How different and how much more at home we feel than we did this time last year! Now we regard life through the elevated vision of Sophomores. We wonder if we ever looke d like the 1920 Fresh- men. Impossible that we could have blundered into the wrong classrooms or been frightened over stories and threats of the approaching mixer. Our num- ber is almost the same as last year, though several of the old members have been replaced by new, presiding officers being: Einar Botten, Matt Soper and Boh Wall. . Why do we seem to have grown during the last few weeks? Note the pleasure we take in wearing Sophomore colors and flowers. Ask the Seniors what we mean and why the large megaphone hanging on the wall displaying Sophomore colors which our mature judgments had now changed to blue and gold. (Let me also add here that the pink rose is replaced by blue and gold tulips.) Athletics were again in full sway and now as sophomores we upheld the creditable reputation won in the Freshman year. Nine Rahs for the Freshies! They showed their friendly spirit by is- suing an invitation to a party in honor of the Sophomores on the night of February fourth. All turned out and weighed their hospitality and found it by no means wanting. Here's to the Freshmen of '20- 21 who have proved themselves excellent entertainers as well as a peppy addition to the Arlington Hi. And now kail to the future of the Sophomore class, and may its honors jointly and of individuals he many fold throughout their entire careers as they have keen during the past two years, and may they always remember and profit hy their motto “Don't wait for an opportunity: make one. —MAY SNODDY, ’23 °0° 27 ®©®®®©©©©®®©(5®®©®©®®©®®®©®©©®®©®©® 0®©®®©®®®®® ® 55®©®®®© The Sophomore Class £ £ £ £ The Sophomore class is that bright class Where all the pupils shine like glass And used to he as green as grass Or even greener When Freshies small we entered high At comments sharp we used to shy And felt as if we d like to die Or he much keener.

Seventy or more soft, downy, mottled, in- nocent chicks peeped forth on a new world. How wonderfull. How per- fectly delightful! How they hailed the coming journey with high anticipa- tions. How quickly and fervently they merited the title green. And oh how it stuck! Cluck, Cluck, Cluck. The little biddies were gently hut firmly urged to try their moist pink legs on their first journey. What a glorious time they had chasing the little black spiders and picking grass like mamma. But sorry to say all was not ease for the little beginners. Enormous ob- stacles confronted them that were harder to get through than a camel through the eye of a needle. But mamma hen said they were merely stepping stones to success and if she boosted they could easily go over. Another difficulty —-Miss Stedman (penmanship teacher) would not allow them to scratch, while Miss Swegle (mathematics teacher) constantly urged them to dig. Nor would Mr. Hodge even permit them to walk on the grass, where, without a doubt, many rich, juicy angleworms might he squirming. Others, by mistake, unfortunately wandered into higher classes where they nearly strangled on physics, contended with the lines and angles of Geometry; or when questioned on the origin of Caesar, declared themselves innocent of the knowledge of him, asserting that he may he “mixed breed. Bah, such trifles as these flee like feathers on the breeze. “How so? you ask. Simple. Did you not know that the proud and pompous Chanticleer Mohrmann advised this growing brood? Ah, yes. And when frequent trips were made to the hook pen in quest of such literature as appeals to chicken minds—Cock-a-doodle-doo—in would strut Chanticleer Mohrmann flaunt- ing his gorgeous comb or pruning his sleek speckled neak. Out of the other door a second later would come meek, downy chicks, forced by fatherly peckings to scratch for brain nutrition, or as Irving would have Ichabod urge some tardy loiterer along the flowery path of knowledge. His dis- cription of an ideal rooster is well worth the quoting: “ Before the ham-door strutted the gallant cock, that pattern of a husband, a warrior and a fine gentleman, clapping his burnished wings and glowing in the pride and gladness of his heart---sometimes tearing up the earth with his feet, and then gener- ously calling his ever-hungry family of wives and children to enjoy the rich morsel which he had discovered. But I must not deal with him too long. The mixer party stirred up not a little animation in the tender chicken hearts. Were they frightened? Oh no. They waited their trials with open beaks and pronounced the evening a great success. Consider—Chanticleer. 31 was there to hover over and protect his flock. Class meetings ensued deciding what hiddies would hold certain offices: President, Junior Cock Carl Botten, Vice-President, Junior Hen Lorene Foss, and Secretary and Treasurer, Junior Cock George Baker were elected by unanimous cheeps. Purple and gold were chosen for adornment on festive occasions. Cock-a-doodle-doo. That old familiar tune again. Chanticleer. “Ca- er-r-r-r ! Wak e up! Don t you biddies realize it is time to pay your compli- ments to the Sophomore Brood? You bet they did. They gave them a rousing good time and served but- termilk, bran, wheat and chopped corn for dessert. This, however, served to produce a better feeling between the two breeds and to obliterate the many cock fights. These biddies have matured rapidly and can now he called full-fledged spring chickens. They are not much for looks, however, their necks being a trifle out of proportion and feathers sprouting in patches. But nevertheless they gained through honest effort and with the aid of Chanticleer and the rest of the faculty the next highest perch (Sophomore year) from which an- other amiable and successful class is leaving. They sincerely appreciate and are heartily thankful for the kind atten- tions offered by all. Cheep, cheep, cheep. Cheep, cheep, cheep. Cheep, ch eep, cheep. Chanticleer Mohrmann!

It consisted of Manual Training work the first year, hut this year the Agricultural Cluh joined us and the Vocational Cluh of the present includes all the Cluh work done hy the two departments. Several banquets have hcen given and a program and banquet is under way at present. The cluh is merely an organization to give the industrious students taking up these two branches of study a chance to accomplish pro- gressive work and display same in an exhibit at the end of each year.

When the time rolled around for the first practice Coach lck looked favorably on the twenty-five high-spirited, clean training athletes who rep- resented the school. After several weeks of diligent practice, regareless of atmospheric conditions, our football eleven was ready to face its first oppo- nents. From the first the outcome was doubtless, as Arlington completely out- classed the Sultan team and won by a large score of 48-0. Although we had won our first battle we did not fail to realize our lack of vitality and it was along this line that the new coach. Mohrmann. directed further training. The second game was played with Snohomish, and after a terrific strug- gle in which Arlington out-gamed and fought their heavier opponents, our team won by a score of 27-26. This close game held the spectators in sus- pension until a rousing cheer went up from the Arlington rooters. The Stanwood game resulted in a victory for Arlington by a one- sided score of 19-0. The Stanwood team fought hard but were unable to check Arlington as she sailed, through the six inches of water on her oppo- nent s field, to victory. The next game, for practice only, was played with the Everett Voca- tional School, whom we defeated by a score of 52-0. After journeying to Edmonds the football squad of Arlington so far outshone their opponents that the laurels were carried from the field by a 41 one-sided score of 106-0 The next game, in which the championship of Snohomish County was decided, was played on local ground, Novemher 11. It was Armistice Day; this incentive together with a good field, a mammoth crowd and a perfect football day, constituted the setting of this decisive contest. Excitement was abroad, and although the Arlington rooters saw their much-loved team falling behind, never for a minute did the encouraging cheers cease to spur them on from the side-lines. Ve had met our old enemies and been defeated by a score of 41-20 hut it was as true sportsmen that we left the field with our first defeat. The last game of the season was played with Monroe, who was defeated by the unexciting score of 28-0. This finished our football season, and the next cry that reached our ears was 'Basketball Recruits. On Friday, December 17, the following football men were awarded their letters: Underwood, Harold Forbes, Robert Botten, Carl Shaffer, Lyle Soule, Sherman Soule, Donald Botten, Einar Soper, Matt Johnstone, Robert Baker, Burnett Caswell, Howard Hoseason, Gerald York, Everett Johnson, Vandal Miller, Lewis DeSoucy, All en 42 BASKET BALL fisi® � January 14—Arlington BOYS .29; Edmonds 15 January 21—Arlington January 28—Arlington February 4—Arlington February 11—Arlington February 18—Arlington 19 12; Snohomish 41 45; Sultan 19 25; Monroe 17 26 GIRLS January 14—Arlington January 21—Arlington 0; Edmonds 16 18; Marysville 19 February 4—Arlington 6; Sultan 16 February 18—Arlington 42 The basket hall season opened January 14, when we played Edmonds on the local floor. The teams were about evenly matched in size but our boys showed better teamwork. They hung up a score of 29 to Edmonds 15. The preliminary game betwe’n the girls was not so favorable forus, the score being Edmonds 16 to Arlington 0. On Friday, January 21, we met our traditional enemy. Marysville, on our floor. Our boys went on the floor determined to win, and lead from the first toot of the whistle. The final score was 29-19 in our favor. The girls played a well matched preliminary game. At the end of the half the score was tied 10-10, but the final score, 19-18, favored the Marysville girls by one point. Our first and second teams went to Snohomish on the 28th of J anu- uary for the first game of the season. Up to this time neither team had been de- feated so a close game was expected. Our boys played well but Snohomish was victorious by a score of 41-12. The defeat did not count against us as Snohomish later withdrew from the league. The next game was with Sultan on the local floor. Our boys played a fast game and won by a large margin. The score was 45-19. This was not a League game as some of the Sultan players were not high school students. The preliminary was between the Sultan and Arlington girls. The boys won by a score of 16-6. Feb. 11 we went to Monroe and met an unexpected defeat. Monroe played an excellent game and won by 8 points. The score was 25-17. We went to Granite Falls on Feb. 18. Our girls were defeated in the preliminary. 43 45 46 SOCIETY fias s On September 17, the annual Freshman Mixer was given to initiate the Frosh. The hall was very prettily decorated hy Sophomores. The usual Senior pep and originality was displayed in the initiation ceremonies whi ch consisted of riding the Freshmen over the Darrington Branch, sending them up in the “airplane, making them walk the plank and painting their faces. After the program the Juniors served refreshments. The Freshmen returned the courtesy of the mixer to the Sophomores on February 4. It was a very original affair, well planned throughout. The Social Hall of the Congregational Church was tastily decorated in the Soph- omore class colors, blue and gold, and the dining room in the school colors, crimson and cream. d he program was: 1.

VOCATIONAL CLUB Senior (to Freshman)—“Don’t count your chickens be- fore they’re hatched.” Freshman (to Senior)—“Don’t calculate your juvenile poultry before the process of incubation has thoroughly ma- terialized.” We think it must have been a High School Student who offered up this prayer: “God bless pa, God bless ma; “God bless all of us, Rah Rah Rah!” George—“I am a little stiff from practicing.” Mabel—“I thought you said that you were from FiVerett.” “The A. H. S. Girls voted on which one was the pret- tiest.” “How did it turn out?” “All tied.” Wednesday night of last week Dinar called up Bob Wallis and asked him over for a game of penny ante. Bob said he couldn’t come because he was washing. “Washing what?” asked Einar “My B. V. D.’s” answered Bob. Just then central cut in and said “I’m ringing them.” Senior—“Did you ever take chloroform?” Freshie—“No, who teaches it?” 55 Mr. Hodge—“It is occasionally profitable to spend a large part of an evening gazing at heavenly bodies.” Lyle S.—“I’ll say it is. I spend a large part of every evening at it.” Senior—“What makes you so little.” Freshie—“My mother fed me on canned milk and I’m condensed. ’ ’ A freshie stood on the burning deck And as far as we can learn He stood in perfect safety, For he was too green to burn. Nursing Teacher—“Iris, have you had any experience with children? Iris.—“Sure, I was one myself once.” Lenore—“What do you think of my new shoes?” Lyle—“It sure is a boost to the manufacturers of corn plasters. ’ ’ Discovery: Lyle uses an eyebrow pencil on his whiskers. “Don’t you think the manual training teacher’s wife would get sore if she saw him flirting with the H. S. girls?” “What did she expect; she married a ‘ Mohrmann?’ ” Vincent—“Will you to the party with me tonight?” Helen—“No, I can’t, but I’ll introduce you to a hand some and clever girl that you can take.” Vincent—“I don’t want a handsome and clever girl; I want you.” Bob J.—“I can make a funnier face than you can.” Lenore—“Yes, but look what you?ve got to start with.” Roy was escorting Ardis to her home on First street: Ardis—“By the way, can you play baseball?” Roy—“Sure.” Ardis—“Well, I am safe on first; let’s see you make a home run.” With that Roy stole one. When he found Ardis was not put out he decided that he had made a safe hit. The game was finally called off on account of darkness. 56 Your Business No One Knows Your Business So Well as You Do Yourself CLDON’T PERMIT yourself to be in- veigled into investing in “get-rich- quick” propositions, organized solely for the purpose of ‘ ‘getting you poor quick.” CL YOU GO WRONG in seeking high rates of interest on your money, but cannot go far wrong in calling on “This Bank” when you are in need of funds or when you have funds to deposit.
