SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY £)Qffi fi Class of 23, Zip, Zip! Class of '23, Hip, Hip! W e vc got sparkle and fizz; We can make things sizz------ Were the Class of 23, Zip, Zip! 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
