Changing time and ways. Deep in our hearts we can’t forget Those joyous high school days. We go back to days on the campus. Fond memories linger there still, And think of that dear old building Which crowns the towering hill. We climb the familiar stairway Ar.d tread those aisles once more. To join again in the merriment Of high school yells of yore. Tho time has changed the faces I hat graced those halls of lore, Alma Mater’s pride and colors Still stream above the door. Oh! Joyous days of dear old High, Our hearts are grieved with pain To think that of the by-gone days Golden memories alone remain. But we shall take great joy, oh friends. As the hurrying years roll by. Relating tales of the happy days We spent in the Arlington High. —Percy J’ Montroy. '20. History of the Class of ’24 ’Twas the fall of Nmeteen-Twenty, Ah! We entered High School then. And new troubles came in plenty. Every day about five times ten. Such was the fond recollection of seventy promising personages who constituted the Freshman Class—the Class of ’24 that is tow setting sail into a new and larger sea, the sea of life. Well do we remember that first year in school. How we played the goat for all the other classes while scraping together what knowledge we could, as is the proper thing te do. However, by dint of hard work, we managed to live through that first year s torture, and, so in the course of time, we came to be Sophomores. 1 he clouds began to break a little for us then, and we began to look on the brighter side of life. We were no longer the goats, and now we even had someone else to whom we could pass the load of misery that had been wished onto us. We began to see that there was some sense to school after all, which is to say that we were getting more fun out of school. Now the class began to branch out to the various hobbies afforded by the school. As a result we were favorably represented in the field and in the gym. We were also represented in the orchestra, and the other classes found that we knew how to entertain by plays and programs. It must not be supposed, however, that we spent all of our time in amusing ourselves and others, for that we could not, nor did any one in the Class wish to do it. Not only had we taken a new name for the class, but we had taken over that class’s work. This work, though it did not halt our progress, caused us to get in and dig” a little more than we had done in our first year in school, and we tried to get as much out of it as we could. For all of our good intentions, we found that it is somewhat harder than it is pictured to live up to the standards that we had set for ourselves. 1 his discovery did not stop us either, for we went at our work with redoubled vigor, and so stepped to a new class. We were highly elated to find ourselves Juniors, to be considered upper classmen and respected by the Seniors. This was a wonderful feeling and we began to look on school as a necessity. Having now grown quite used to hard study, we managed to keep well within the limits set by our teachers. If we ran over these bounds there were always the poor work slips to recall us from our play. In the meantime we were Juniors, worry wasn’t a part of our K E) SAV (6 - make-up, and we set about getting out of school all that it had for us. Our greatest responsibility and most important duty was, of course, the publication of the Annual. Harriette Smith was elected editor, and Elbert Mose business manager. They, with the assistance of Mr. Boyer, turned out a product which was an excellent example of Junior superiority. In athletics it was the same old story. Juniors took first in the track meet. Several of the Junior boys played on the football and basketball teams. In orchestra we were honored with a bigger representation, in proportion to population, than any other class in school. Harriette Smith was sole candidate for debate. Now, we have come safely through three of our four years’ work, it might be justifiable for us to look at the Freshman class with a superior air, and quote: “The way isn’t sunny, but don’t fret. Cheer up, Freshies, you’ll get there yet.” Our Senior year found us well and happy, and we pursued our course of studies with more diligence, pep. and perseverance than ever before, as testify the number of Seniors on the honor roll. In football, basketball and baseball we had a favorable representation of husky Senior lads. We were also represented in orchestra. The Arlington High School News is edited by Lorene Foss, with a good number of Seniors on the staff. The Senior play, “The Arrival ef Kitty was a decided success in all ways. In the staging of this play we feel that we have not only retained the reputation of our predecessors, but have established a new record for those who follow in our footsteps to try and surpass. We realize that four years of our valuable life will soon have passed away, but it has been profitably and advantageously spent. With Sneak Day” “Class Night,” and “Commencement” ringing in our ears how can we be otherwise than pleased and happy? Since we are about to enter the school of life, and there become as great a success as we have been in school life, each one of us can not help turning back with an encouraging voice and saying: The halls of fame are open wide. The realms of thought are free. The portals all are flung aside. For you as well as me. —Menzel Johnson.

Thy heart was always slow to chide The faults of youth; But quick with sympathy and praise To lead us in the brighter ways Of steadfast truth. How shall we say farewell to thee. Ere yet upon life’s stormy sea We drift apart? Master, what language now can tell The love which will forever dwell Deep in our heart? You’ve toiled for us for four long years. And watched us rise, through smiles and tears Toward our goal. Sculptor-like, with hand divine. You chisled out each noble line Within our goal. Resistless time doth onward flow— The new will come, the old must go— Tis Life’s decree; The goal is reached, the task is done. But harder toil is just begun— We are not free. SENIOR CLASS FAREWELL—Continued But if we fall when others rise. We know that thou wilt sympathize In that hard fight; And give to us those words of cheer. As thou so oft hast given here To make life bright. We are out beyond the harbor light, 1 he pilot leaves the ship tonight To go ashore; Each one alone must steer his bark. Out across the ocean dark. Forever more. Pilot, explain to us the chart. Once again before you start Back for the land; Each wave that strikes against the keel. Now seems to make the vessel reel. In our weak hand. Leona Pulliam. ■ x JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY As we look back over the three short years that have passed since we first entered high school, as very green Freshmen, we realize that they have been the most enjoyable years we have ever spent. We have met new friends and have had good times never dreamed of before. As Freshmen our record was one of which to be proud. We had letter men in all athletics except track. We proved ourselves good sports at the f reshman Mixer which was given in our honor. To show our appreciation we gave a masquerade party to the Sophomores and Football boys in return. Early in the season the orchestra was organized to which our class contributed two members. Of course we have not concerned ourselves entirely with good times; we have worked hard and have kept up to the standard set for us by upper classmen. When we returned again in the fall we were recognized as worthy Sophomores. Many of our fellow' classmen had not come back but still our class was large and what we lacked in quantity we made up in quality. This year it was our turn to laugh at the Freshies just as we had been laughed at, and we made the best possible use of our opportunity. We helped conduct the Freshman Mixer and we saw to it that they were thoroughly mixed. Our class showed well in intcrclass games and meets. As spring approached we viewed with dismay the long lessons assigned to us, but with a reminder from Mr. Bowman we got down to hard work and at the end of the year we had covered another stretch of High School life. We ended this succssful year by having a picnic at Lake Stevens. Our Junior year has been one which we may look back upon with pride, and hold as an example to the succeeding classes. Four Juniors helped win the title of Western Washington Champions for the Arlington High. The Junior Prom which was the biggest social event in the history of the class, was made a brilliant success through the untiring efforts of the class of 25. We are now looking forward to the dignities and responsibilities of being Seniors, and we feel entitled to hold this position after three years of hard wor c- —Edith Roy.

How we remember! It was in September When each little member Went to assembly! Just three short years ago. Then little did we know Of all the wails of woe. That are for Freshies! Then for those Seniors wise 1 here grew a mild despise. We could tell by their eyes, Something was brewing; And, temper we surpressed. Until we all had guessed. On us they had assessed. The Freshman Mixer! 'tes! Yes! this all had passed The year had fled so fast Each had become at last A wise old Sophomore; And, just like all the rest. Each one had done his best. And had withstood the test Of a good student. We are just Juniors yet! Still. we will never fret For you can safely bet. We' re glad to be so! So, just when the time nears. Then let us give three cheers For those three little years We’ve spent in High School! JUNIORS '24—Continued See the bright Seniors fair! Ready to leave their lair, And all prepared to dare Life after High School; Four years here they have spent. A spirit they have lent. And from their books have rent Knowledge delightful. Here we have learned to work. And never tried to shirk The problems that have lurked Within our text-books; We’ve always been alive The class of '25 And so we’re going to strive 'Till graduation. So here’s to Arlington High! A cheer that will reach the sky ; One that will never die If we can help it! Here’s to the Gold and Blue They are our colors true To them we’ll always do Justification! — Frances Nold m orn onottE Hn-k h GrqrfHr' SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY It would be exceedingly difficult to locate a body of more diligent, vehemient students than those who compose the Sophomore Class of '26. The members of the Class feel satisfied at the successful year they have had in scholarship and athletics; for they have surpassed in both. Following the enthusiasm which is so typical of the Arlington High School, the Sophomore Class has established a standard that any following class may be elated to maintain. Much of their success is due to the capable help of their advisor. Miss Fulton. The Sophomores held high positions outside the bounds of class activities. The assistant editor of the Arlington High School News and two other members of the Staff were Sophomores, and the class was well representd in football, basketball and baseball. The orchestra also claimed four of their members. The place where the class was probably best represented was in debate. The Negative team was composed entirely of Sophomores and one member of the Affirmative team was also of that class. The Sophomore class proved its hospitality by assisting in the initiation of the Freshmen into the High School; and were entertained by the Freshmen in return a short time later. Thus passed an eventful and enjoyable year. The next two years will probably be interesting and successful, but they can hardly be more profitable than the past year has been. Novelle NETTLES.

We’re full of life and “go” and “pep;” We surely make the Juniors step: The Seniors watch with envy green I he liveliest group they’ve ever seen. We’re Arlington’s boast and joy and pride; While others walk we’re going to ride, ’Cause success is waiting beyond the hill. In the long, long night when all is still. We dream of days that soon will come. When the world will hustle and surely hum. And dance in glee at our command, Or bow its head beneath our hand. Life has no ill we cannot fix— We’re the class of Twenty-Six. —Esther Martin. fc. '-===2W ■1 7“ ■■ ■ ■ 7-— FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 6 a rather frightened group labeled Freshmen arrived bag and baggage to become, for the first time, students of the Arlington High School. The upper classmen adorned the front steps for the sole purpose of greeting the freshmen with a laugh and considerable teasing. This was the Class of '27. When counted, it was the largest class ever entering the A. H. S. We numbered one hundred and eleven. For a short time If” was the biggest word in our vocabulary. What if we should get into the wrong class? What if—but really it would be hopeless to try and relate our feelings. After the first few days we became accustomed to our schedule and our heart beats returned to normal. After some time we had a business meeting and elected Esther Botten president; Fred Meyer, Vice-President; Richard Palmer, Secretary-Treasurer. Fern Cohoon was elected Freshmen representative for the Girls’ League. We also voted that our class colors would be crimson ai.d cream. When the night of the Mixer arrived, the Senior girls adorned us with green caps and started us to the gym. I he upper classmen were on the balcony to see the fun. That night we played “Here We Go ‘Round the Mulberry Bush” and “Farmer in the Dell for perhaps the last time. The gym was appropriately decorated for the occasion in green, red and white streamers with an occasional doll or Teddy Bear to add to the festive air. When home was reached that night we felt that we were really mixed. Some time later we gave a return party to the Sophomores and the Football boys. The mid-year Freshmen joined us in January and at last we had our turn to tease and poke sly fun. They numbered thirty. In athletics, the Freshmen were well represented. In football, Clifford Underwood and Fred Meyers did our part. In basketball Clifford Underwood, Fred Meyer and George Preston made first team. In baseball the Freshmen are again on the field, Fred and George playing on the “nine.” The Freshmen sold the most tickets for the Lucy entertainment, but failed to produce the price so the laurels went to the Seniors. When spring came the Freshmen began to get busy at track. When the time for the inter-class track meet arrived, we came out victorious with sixty- two points to our credit. Our rivals, being the Seniors, who had forty-two points. The Freshmen were well represented on the honor roll and we are improving all the time. At the time of the Country Gentleman contest, the Freshmen did their part by putting over a great many sales. We are now at the end of our first year as students of the A. H. S. With the help of Miss Thompson, our class advisor, we have succeeded in completing the first lap of our four years’ run. We are looking forward to next year with expectancy. But no memories could be dearer than our Freshmen year at dear old A. H. S. —Ella Eyre. Motto: B2 Colors : Crimson and Cream Flower: Red Rose Yell: Come seven! Come eleven! We’re the Class of 27.

Which we try to honor too We can for we have cast our lot With the golden and the blue. Yes,, we’re here to lend a helping Hand to all of those in need. To try and cheer this old world With just a golden deed. When we do a thing, we put it over. And never say it’s dry. For we’re the class of ’27 and We’re here to do or die. When working and when playing We have tried to do our best. Now comes our vacation— Golden days all filled with rest. We are looking forward to Our second year of school. And we are glad, yes, happy that We made “Be Square” our rule. —Ella L. Eyre. ALUMNI ROLL CLASS OF 19 3 Name and Occupation Address Grace Carpenter..................................................

English University of Washington ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL NEWS For a number of years the only means of conveying High School news to the student body was through The Arlington Times. Bob Wallis is to be given credit for promoting the Vocational News. This column included the general high school news together with V. C. Notes. Bob continued his good work for three years. The first semester of this school year, a page of Arlington High School News was established in The Arlington Times. This was a great improvement over former years. The staff consisted of: Editor. Lorene Foss; Associate Editor, Harriette Smith; Sports, George Starlund; Who's Who, Lena Reavis; Reporters. Doris Marsh. Rudy Thomsen, Leslie Hay, Augusta Nold, Aletha Thomas, Lena Hollingsworth and George Martin; Announcements, Novelle Nettles; with Mr. Bowman as Staff Advisor. The field of journalism was new to the staff, but nevertheless by con- stantly correcting their errors, they managed to develop a real live, interesting page. The News Staff followed the road of improvement; making strenuous and forcible efforts to secure a school paper. In the end they succeeded and the second semester started off w'hti a school paper. A new department was founded, that of Business Manager, with Roy Conner ably filling the position. ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL NEWS There have been various changes in the staff from time to time. This was ■ ■• essary in order to get the right people for the paper work. After much deliberation a force was selected which appears to be very efficient.

Business Manager Roy Conner Assistant Business Manager Fred Westburg Circulation Manager Fred Meyer The school paper is one of th’ important organizations of the school because of its efficiency. It gives timely news and serves as a publicity medium, playing up coming events vith the proper spirit. It is also an advertising agency representing school life and the business men of the com- munity. The school and staff realize that the business men with their adver- tising have helped to make a school paper possible. A paper can not stand on news alone; financial backing is of utmost importance. Mr. Bowman, our advisor, has stayed with the paper through ‘‘thick and thin.” His enthusiasm and school spirit has done a great deal toward promoting the paper. In the course of one short year much has been accomplished along the lines of organized news. Something was started and something was finished. The paper attributes its success to real hard work which is necessary in anything worth while. Some members of the staff will soon be graduated; but will always keep in close contact with the A. H. S. News. They express their sincerest wish that in future years this paper will keep on striving for the goal of perfection; to continue the work so well started by the members of the staff. —-Lorene Foss. DEBATE Harriette Smith Eleanor Iles Carl Lowe Miss Yergf.r Paul Verd Lena Hollingsworth Novelle Nettles i . :—L fc. —= : — DEBATE December 7—Arlington 2 Anacortes 1 January 1 1—Arlington 1 Deming 2 February 1 5—Arlington 3 Hamilton 0 March 1 4—Arlington 3 Meridian 0 Debate this year was one of Arlington's most important activities. 1 he «luestion v as one of vital importance to the people of the United States and to the world. It was an issue which has been in prominence since February, 1923, and the late President Harding kept it invariably in the foreground. Success in debate, as well as in various other activities, depends a great deal upon the capability of the Coach. This year we were very fortunate in having Miss Yerger as our Debate Coach. She formerly coached several thampionship teams. The debaters take this opportunity to convey hearty thanks to Miss Yerger for her able assistance in helping to make this year a successful one in debate. Quite a number of students entered the try-out held in early November. From these two teams were chosen by the faculty. The affirmative team was composed of Harriette Smith. Carl Lowe, and Novelle Nettles. The alternate for this team was Aagot Fjarlie. The negative team consisted of Eleanor lies, Paul Verd and Lena Hollingsworth, with James Sturgeon as their alternate. The school was fortunate in having so large a turn-out that it was possible to have two teams, thus making less work for each team. The plan of having two teams worked out admirably, and resulted in a near-champion- ship school in debate. In the short intervening time between the try-out and the first debate, the affirmative team prepared a splendid argument on the subject; Resolved, That the United States Shculd Enter th“ World Court in Accordance With the Plan as Set Forth by Our Late President Harding in His St. Louis Address. The first debate was with Anacortes at Anacortes, and Arlington started the season well by winning the debate. A hard fight was necessary, however, before this was gained. The negative team met Deming s affirmative team on the local floor on January I I. Our team put up a good argument, but the decision of the judges was in favor of the opponents The second semester brought better luck to the Gold and Blue on the debating platform. From the experience gamed in the foremer debates, they attained a great deal of knowledge and waited with real enthusiasm for the next debate. This was held at Hamilton, and Arlington defended the affirmative. .. , The last debate of the seasen was with Meridian at Arlington on March 14 Arlington upheld the negative, this time with better success than their first debate. Both teams had good arguments. The decision was in favor of Aln Prospects for the coming year are indeed far from discouraging. Only one debater graduates.The school intends next year to break this year s record and claim the championship. Novelle Nettles. ORCHESTRA Mi � Ensley Instructor June Marsh Violin Anna Goodman Violin Louise Murdock Violin Graydon Walen Violin Grace Cyphers Piano Harold York Saxophone Carroll Barney .......... Saxophone Leslie Hay ................Saxophone James Stever .................Cornet Knut Lunnum Trombone Thoralf Storwick ..........Clarinet Orchestra is practically a new organization in the Arlington High School. It was first established in 1922 under the leadership of Mr. Hartwig, with eight pieces. In 1923 again it was organized with twelve pieces and under the leadership of Mr. Bowman. It showed improvement over the preceding year and contributed to several programs. This year, 1924, or- chestra was not organized until the second semester, but under the careful instruction of Miss Ensley it has already become a definite part of school activities. A great deal of credit for the success of the orchestra belongs to their instructor. Miss Ensley, whose untiring and faithful help has made the orchestra what it now is. The rest of the credit goes to the members of the orchestra. As they only have three practices during the week, they take advantage of the opportunity and do their best. They have already appeared in several school programs and are going to make several more appearances, including Class night and Commencement, before the close of school. They played for the students on George Washing- ton’s birthday, but they made their first bow to the public at the debate between Meridian and Arlington. They again played for the Senior Play and won considerable applause. They are planning for a Spring Concert which will include both Orchestra and Glee Club, and by the sounds that penetrate to the assembly during their practice and the pieces they play we know that it will be a program worthy of the high standard set this year, for the orchestra will do its part any time. Three of the members are seniors, three juniors, four sophomores and one freshman. The three seniors they are bound to lose, but from the incoming freshman class they hope to make up their loss. As this is one of the foremost organizations of the school it is more than our du'y to continue our progress in music. —Gr ce Cyphers. GLEE CLUB In the fall of 1923, the first “Arlington High School Glee Club was oiganized under the supervision of Mr. Bowman. For a new organization, the dub was quite successful and acquitted itself with credit at several school functions. This year the club was organized with Miss Ensley as instructor. A largj number of girls turned out and work was begun at once. Tuesdays and Thurs- days were selected as regular meeting days and the club was conducted as a class. The first efforts of the club were on simple pieces, but gradually it worked up to more difficult selections. The real ability of the organization was first exhibited at the annual Thanksgiving program. Its first large undertaking was started during the second quarter. After tryouts were held, a cast was picked to present the operetta, “In India. Much effort was spent on this pro- duction and real success was the outcome. The weird Oriental music had a distinct appeal for the audience. There is in a school the size of ours, an unusual amount of musical abil- ity. This club, through careful instruction, gives a student musically inclined, a chance to develop and express her talent, and a member appreciates bett. r music and develops a liking for such. As a side issue of the Glee Club, the High School Sextette was begun this year. Every Monday after school, time was spent in practice. After the. first appearance of this harmonious aggregation at the Men’s Club Banquet for the football boys, the Sextette appeared frequently in public. At debates and dinners the girls furnished some of the best numbers for the program and acquitted themselves with marked ability. The Sextette is now preparing to take part in the concert for May. A large variety of materials has been covered by the Sextette. Negro lullabies, soft Venetian airs, fascinating Gypsy songs and comic selections have all been rendered and well received. Many thanks to Miss Ensley who has assisted greatly with the club and Sextette. The success of both has depended mainly upon her untiring assistance. It is hoped that this popular musical organization will not be forgotten in years to come, but that it will improve from year to year and become a greater benefit at many affairs. Many of the members will be in school again next year and a few more steps will be taken toward a bigger and better or- ganization. If such effort as has been put forth this year is manifested in future clubs, we are sure of having a truly wonderful club in the future. —Lena Reavis. l-r — IK -1 1 7 1, lit' “The Arrival of Kitty” The annual Senior play this year was the three-act comedy, The Arrival of Kitty. It was staged in the school auditorium March 28 and 29, and was a brilliant success. T he staff consisted of several boys and girls who proved to be real actors. Ralph Montroy as Ting, a snappy, up-to-date bell hop was an ideal example of service. Clinton Hammond, as a shrewd negro porter, played a good part. His clever witicisms in true darky dialect were unusually spicy. Knut Lunnuum mastered the part of William Winkler, the sports and deceitful brother-in- law. Knut took a very good part. H;s paternalism was astounding. Menzel Johnson, the true hero of the play, made a very fine duplicate of the fair sex; also an ideal lover. Doris Marsh, as Aunt Jane, played the ridiculous part of an aspiring old maid, convulsing the audience every time she made h:r appearanc. Ruth Gunerius. the renowned Kitty, played the part of the haughty domineering actress to perfection. The facial pats she gave James were not administered quite so harshly during play practice. James Stever as the ins.pid Englishman, Benjamin Moore, shared comic honors with Aunt Jane; h:s reality in displayng effects of the bottle of claret was very much appreciated by the audience. Lena Reavis as the heroine playing opposite Bobbie Baxter, was all that a little freshman girl in her fondest dreams aspires to be. Her spicy and coquettish manners made a right up-to-the-miunte girl extremely alluring. Clara McCladry was capable and charming as Aunt Jane’s coy French maid. Suzette. We wonder why the sporty Benjamin Moore didn’t fall in love with her too. The pleasing numbers played by the orchestra between acts added dis- tinctly to the enjoyment of the evening. I he class appreciates the splendid work of Miss Ensley, who has been so diligent and untiring in her efforts to make the play a grand success. Both school and town were delighted with the unusul success of this event. fc. — : - - - e =====r- i i In India” In India—India, Fair land of bloom! Where maidens all are happy In their dance and song. Thus it began, the opening of the comic-opera, ‘‘In India, as given by the Girls’ Glee Club. It was an all important day, the day of the Festival of Ahu, the day when the three old hags. See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Speak No Evil, were to come from the temple to choose a dancing girl. All made ready. They were garbed in their best, and the garden, as it now overflowed with happy, singing, expectant girls, was a beautiful sight. The girls were not long to remain in their joyous anticipation. How-Now, the village scold, interrupted their singing by rudely announcing that the chosen girl must not only be beautiful of face and character but must also be an orphan, therefore she was the only possible choice. So the story of the tragedy and clever comedy woven into beautiful choruses and songs and carried to a conclusion to find the conceited, evil- tempered How-Now being driven to the temple, not to dance and live at ease hut to act as the temple drudge while Meera. “the chosen one, the lovely one, is stopped at the gates of the garden while on her way to h.r new home in the temple. The cld beggar woman who obs'rircts her path later proved to be her mother whom she had long thought d:ad. The parts were very ably portrayed by the different members of the club. June Marsh was very charming in the role of Meera, the beloved flower girl. Elma Shannon, as the beggar; Irene Lindquist in the part of Simla the village pet; and Doris Marsh as the unlovable How-Now all gave splendid interpretation of their roles. The entire operetta was highly satisfactory. It was the Glee Club s first attempt at anything of the kind and for this reason its success was much appreciated not only by he club but by the whole school. Much of the success was due to Miss Enshy, who instructed and coached the staff to success. Credit must also be given to Grace Cyphers who played the music for all parts. The operetta was presented in the High School auditorium to a full house. Between acts the Dom.slic Science girls gave an exhibit of their semester’s work in dress making. The proceeds of the play were turned over to the Associated Students to be used wh.re most needed. —Eleanor Louise Iles. jJL � T : fu, J r M I ' si 1 5-« «- %jfi ii'i'M yit «L ft jlglM� m-ui -in J1 «fes -W ft' J'r nil %w. JM ?F I 1 t® 3« 'Misrr.fi, 3$ THE FRESHMAN MIXER On the 20th of October in nineteen twenty-three A stormy night ensued. (Oh no, it’s not going to be a poem, too much work). This was one fearful night for the poor Frosh. They worried and shed many a tear over what they feared would be a worse time than the “Battle of Bunker Hill! The captains in charge of the victims were Miss Thompson and Miss Harris. They co-operated with the classes, especially the Senior class, and came to the conclusion that if hardships and severe punishments were to be inflicted on the Freshies that in time it would result in fewer students striving for eighth grade diplomas. It was a very surprised class of Freshmen who learned (to the disgust of Juniors and Seniors) that they were to play games and enjoy themselves until time for lunch. At seven thirty, the fun for the Frosh began. Many kindergarten games were played and enjoyed by the green participants. They played Drop the Handkerchief and etc., for a while (a few upper classmen offered dolls and wooden soldiers) and then when they betook themselves to the Domestic Science room for refreshments. They claim that they were well entertained and amused, a rather unusual thing for a mixer. THE FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE PARTY The Freshmen in appreciation of the exciting (?) mixer given them, entertained the Sophomores and Footbtall boys Friday evening. November the sixteenth, in the high school gymnasium. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated in the Sophomore colors, Maderia orange and French blue. The early part of the evening was spent in games and contests. A clothes race was immensely enjoyed by those present. Ella Eyre winning the first prize by a close margin. Later in the evening a milk drinking contest was held in order to determine which were the bigger babies—the Freshmen or the Sophomores. It was proved that the Freshmen were the bigger babies, as Tony Contento took first place, receiving an appro- priate prize. Later dancing was enjoyed, after which dainty refreshments were served. A very enjoyable evening was spent by all. Junior Prom 1 he Junior Prom, the biggest social event of the year, was given on February 29, at the Firemen’s Pavilion. The hall was beautifully decorated with purple and gold streamers and with evergreen boughs. The lobby, which was for the patrons and patronesses and for those who did not dance, was banked with boughs; comfortable chairs were placed about the room and shaded lights gave an extremely inviting appearance to the little nook. The Prom was a great success from all standpoints; in fact the crowd was the largest that had ever attended a school dance. Everyone declared that they had a most enjoyable time. The patrons and patronesses were: Dr. and Mrs. E. E. Mose, Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Palmer, Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Leach. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Murphy, Dr. and Mrs. E. M. Adams, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Verd, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Hinman, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Bowman. The music was furnished by Bob Newell’s Orchestra, which played eighteen numbers and four extras. The Prom was given in honor of the Class of '24. A great part of the success was due to the following people who made up the executive committees: Martha Hoidal, Grace Cyphers, Myrtle Chausse, Mildred Powell, Roy Conner, Harold York, Frances Nold, Dorothy Wright, Edith Roy, Ellsworth Satra, Winnifred O’L.aughlin. Girls’ League As the Student Body grows, the number of organizations increase, and among the numerous but valuable organizations in the school is the Girls’ League. This is the first organization of this kind in the Arlington High School, and the enthusiastic members are making the League a success. The purpose of the League is as follows, quoted from the Girls’ League Constitution: “The object shall be to promote the spirit of helpfulness and fellowship and to further that which shall benefit the school and community of which it is a part. All girls of the Arlington High School are members though all members are not active members.’’ President Doris Marsh is an able and active leader and has done her bit in school as well as out. Vice-President Thelma Clock has charge of all programs, and she, to- gether with the class representatives. Marguerite O'Laughlin, Winnifred O’Laughlin, Eleanor lies and Fern Cohoon, arranged and presented a de- lightful program for the benefit of the Girls’ new rest room. Other executive officers appointed were Lena Reavis, secretary, and Thelma Peterson, T reasurer. One of the most important accomplishments of the League this year was the fitting up of the Rest Room, a new and needy addition to our High School. A great part of their success in furnishing this rest room is due to Miss Fulton, whose valuable assistance was greatly appreciated by the League. Many meetings have been enjoyed this year and everything the girls un- dertook was due to the faithful and untiring leadership of the League advisor. Miss Harris. The girls all hope that Miss Harris will be with them when they organize again next year. —AUGUSTA Nold. THE ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY In the early part of the first semester of this year, the Associated Sutdent Body was organized. It is the first time in the history of the school that any- thing of this kind has been attempted. I he first attempt has proven highly satisfactory—satisfactory in more ways than one. The students are satisfied because they receive noticeable advantages through co-operation; they know more about the business transactions of the school, they receive a marked re- duction to all school functions, and the whole student body is more closely organized and businesslike. The mam idea of having an organized student body was that the busi- ness transactions might be carried out in a more businesslike manner. Before this organization, there was no wav to keep such an accurate check of all business transacted by the school. This organization does another thing; it strengthens school spirit and co-operation among the students. The whole student body has a part in all its business, and there is no one who doesn’t take some pride in achievement. For the first year, quite a number of things have been done by the Asso- ciation. They have bought new, and much needed stage scenery and are buy- ing a printing press. They are also making three tennis courts and are con- stantly improving the field and track. Many more things have been done and other things will be done before the close of school. Perhaps the Associated Students have not accomplished everything that could be done in a year, but they take pride in what they have so far accom- plished. Next year great things are expected of our student co-operatiton. The officers of the Student Body are: President ...................... ROBERT C.

MELVIN Forbes Secretary ELEANOR Iles Manager .....................................Carl BoTTEN Yell Leader ..................................Thelma Clock The Forum President ............................Carl Lowe Vice-President Paul Verd Secretary-! reasurer ......JcsEFH SMITH Advisor Mr. Bowman At the beginning of the second semester, eleven boys met with Mr. Bowman, to organize a discussion group. A constitution was adopted and of- ficers elected. “The Forum” was the name adopted for the club. The primary purpose of the club is for the serious discussion of current events and school problems and to take any necessary steps that might better the school. During the short time that remained of the school year many warm debates were held. The question of whether or not it would be well for the school to adopt the “Honor System was discussed and discarded when it was found that only one school had made a success of it. The club also considered the “Point System” of giving recognition to school activities besides athletics. A plan was formulated for a sort of Honor Society and sub- mitted to the Student Oragnization with the recommendation that it be adopted for next year. The club has grown since it was organized and expects to grow still more next year. They hope next year to be able to take a bigger part in making the Arlington High School a school of the first rank. —Carl Lowe. LITERARY LEADERS President ...........................................Lorene Foss Vice-Pres. and Ex-officio of Program Com. Aagot FjARLIE Secretary-Treasurer Paul Verd Reporter ...........................DORIS Marsh The first two months of this school term, 1923-1924, were made very busy by the introduction of several new bodies into our school activities. One of these of no small mention is the Literary Leaders. This club adopted its fine constitution and proceeded to organize further, under the guidance of the advisor. Miss Yerger. In accordance with the constitution, regular meetings were held at the High School, Tuesday of every other week. The programs were, as the name of the club implies, of a literary nature, the weighty substance therein being relieved by highly entertaining music and comic readings. For the greater part of the year, debate received the most attention at the meetings. Most of the members feel that they are now capable of delivering bits of oratotry, and of refuting another’s argument. Several successful attempts were made, however, along the line of dramatics. A clever little playlet, en- titled, ’’The Diabolic Circle,” was presented by members of the club as part of the Thanksgiving program. Plans are under way for another program consisting of music and a play to be given before the assembly before the expiration of this term.

This great number of active students naturally demanded a clufr or organization pertaining to their chosrn field. At this, the Radio Club of last year, wisely decided to enlarge so as to receive all scientifically inclined students. The name of the club was changed from the Radio Club to the Science Club, and under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Miller and Miss Shackle- ford, has proceeded to become a most worthy organization. The purpose of the club is to institute greater interest in science and scientific study in the school and to provide a place in which to discuss each particular hobby. The club meets every two weeks and they have never failed to put on an interesting and instructive entertainment. Through this organization a large number of students have become familiar with some of the little-known wonders of electricity and other curious phenomena. As the founders sincerely hope, and as the general opinion is, this club may mark the starting point of some of our future physicists, chemists and other renowned scientists.

From the first, our teams have won distinction and honor for our school. In 1907, when only nine pupils made up the graduating class the high school was represented on the diamond by a nine that played the whole season without a defeat. That was really the starting point in our athletic career. From that time unttil the World War our teams won many victories. Our football team was considered the best in this section, for two years of this pre-war period. It was during this period that basketball received more attention and support than has ever been shown since. The five from this school in 1912 won first county honors, besides coming out on the long end of the score with several other teams outside the county. But the boys alone did not hold all basket ball honors and glory. The girls at that time played boys rules and they had, during one season in particular a team that could not be defeated. If this sounds absurd, ask some of the alumni who happened to be on the boys’ team of that year. The track season of 1912 was for us as great a success as was the basket ball season, because the track teams brought home first place pennent. It was during this period that tennis held an important place in our inter-class ath- letics. At that time the A. H. S. Tennis Club was in existence, and under their supervision, a tournament was held at the end of each season, to deter- mine the school championship. It was during the World War that athletics in this school, as well as in most other schools, suffered a relapse. Many of our athletes were in the service and the spare time of others was usually spent in promoting some war cause. In the fall of 1919, many of our athletes were back in school and the athletic activities of the school were renewed. When Coach Talley sent out the call for football men he was answered by the appearance of many ex-service men who proved later that they could play football as well as fight, by taking second county place and defeating the team that won first place. I he basket ball and track seasons of that year ended as successfully as did the football season. Our record for the school year of I 920 and '2 I was a great success. Oui first team again took second place and the track team came back from the county track meet with the cups which mean so much to track men. The football team at the end of the 1921 season still held second place, this time by a tie. The baseball fans were enthusiastic over a team that won every game of the season outside of those with Everett. In 1922, the football team under Coach Hallock came out of their sec- ond place rut and fought through a season without being scored against. The baseball nine also won the county championship. The athletic activities of ’23 and ’24 are given elsewhere in this book. Those of you who have graduated and we, who hope to graduate, feel, I am sure, a certain feeling of proud pos- session when we think of games won by the A. H. S. ----------Lewis MlLLER.

S. football team has completed its most successful season, having defeated all teams standing in the way of the Western Washington championship title. Never before in the history of our athletics could we claim such honor. The score for the season was 370 for the Blue and Gold with a total of 19 points against it. The team has an enviable record and was one of the most feared teams in Western Washington. At the bottom of our success we find our coach, Mr. Hallock. He in- troduced a system of interference that was almost unbreakable. The team also perfected a system of passing that resulted in many long gains for Arlington. The team showed remarkable percision and was seldom held for downs. The line had weight, the ends were wizards at getting passes and the back- field combined both weight and speed. The team played those teams that were considered the best, and always finished strong, as victors. THE GAMES October 5—In the first game of the season, Edmonds received a defeat at the hands of the Blue and Gold football team on Arlington grid. The game was one-sided. The Arlington backs gained at will. The score at the end of the game was Arlington 1 46, and Edmonds,—nothing. October I 3—The Arlington football team played the Burlington team on the latter's ground. The game was fast and featured by hard line plunging. In the 3rd quarter Arlington slipped over a touchdown and booted a field goal, then held the heavy Burlington team scoreless. The Arlington goal was in danger only once during the game. The score was Arlington 10, Burling- ton—nothing. October 20.—On the Mt. Vernon field, Arlington handed the fast Mt. Vernon team a defeat. The Arlington backs pierced the Mt. Vernon line at will for long gains. The trick plays baffled the Mt. Vernon team, each play being good for a substantial gain. In the 2nd and 3rd quarters, Arlington kicked two field goals. The score was: Arlington 34. Mt. Vernon—6. October 27—Arlington added another victory to the string by defeating Coach Meir’s Snohomish team 23 to 7. The game was a ragged affair. The Arlington backs sailed through the Snohomish line but fumbled after long gains. The game lacked the fight and speed of the Mt. Vernon game. November 12.—Arlington grid machine, champions of Northwestern Washington, defeated Buckley, the champions of Southwestern Washington 40 to 6 on the athletic field at Everett. The Buckley team pul over ai touch- down in the first quarter. In the second quarter all the playing was under the FOOTBALL—Continued shadow of Buckley’s goal posts. At the beginning of the half.

November 23—On the local grid, Marysville went down to defeat be- fore the powerful attack of the Blue and Gold football machine, 19 to nil. Marysville’s line was heavy but weakened under the pounding of the Arling- ton backs. A slippery field made end runs nearly impossible. Arlington com- pleted many passes despite a slippery ball. On Arlington’s fumble and a few line bucks, Marysville once had the ball 18 inches from Arlington’s goal but was held for downs. November 29.—As a Turkey Day Grid classic, Renton, a highly rated team from Southwestern Washington bowed down under the powerful at- tack of Arlington s human football machine to a score of 50 to nothing. The Arlington backs gained consistently while Arlington’s line was a stone wall. In the 3rd quarter, Renton opened with passes putting the ball on Arlington’s 20-yard line several times, but lacked the punch to put it over. SECOND TEAM Granite Falls, September 29: As an amusement for the county fair crowds, Arlington’s second team defeated the Granite Falls first team 25 to 24. The game was nip and tuck, both teams completing passes and bucking the line hard. Granite failed to kick goal on her last touchdown, while Arlington did, giving them the one point margin. Sedro-Woolley October 19: The second team went down to defeat 6 to 1 0 at the hands of the husky Woolley team. In the fourth quarter Arlington crossed the line several times for touchdowns, but w'ere drawn back each time for off-side.

Vernon in a hard-fought game by a baseball score of three to two. Mt. Vernon blocked an attempt to punt, the ball rolling over the goal line, Arlington recovering it 1 his made Mt. Vernon two points.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Jan. 1 8—Marysville 12 At Arlington 68 Jan. 25—Arlington .22 At Stanwood 8 Feb. 1—Arlington 19 At Edmonds 35 Feb. 1 5—Arlington 20 At Burlington 24 Girls’ Basketball this year has been more successful than any p mores and eleven Freshies. The girls’ practice was on Monday and Wednes- day. Coach Harris introduced End Ball and Captain Ball, two new games, which were primarily for practice in passing. Some interesting inter-class basketball games were played, but owing to the absence of some of the Senior girls, the final game between the Sophomores was not played. As it was impossible for the Coach to give proper attention to all the girls turning out and because time and space were somewhat limited, the ma- jority of first and second year girls gave up their practice period to those members chosen as first and second teams. Some of the best from each class were retained as extras. I he signals of the previous year were again put into use and the team was thoroughly drilled in them. The results of the signal practice could read- ily be seen in a game because Arlington’s center always succeeded in getting the tip off. I he regular scheduled games were not so very far away by this time and several practice games with outside teams were arranged. The first prac- tice game was with the Y. W. C. A. in the home gym with Arlington as vic- tors. The second practice was with Sultan at Sultan, Arlington winning again by a score of 22 to I 3. I he third practice game was played with the Y. W. C. A. again at Everett at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Arlington was again victorious. The girls played in splendid form. Both teams played a good, fast game, it being considered the prettiest and the cleanest game of the season. Miss Skally of Everett refereed all practice games. The lineup for the first team was as follows: Forward.........“Spike” Martha Hoidal Forward ....... “Bert Alberta Pike Lenter ........ SlMMIE” ThF.LMA CLOCK Side Center ......“Lefty” Lena Reavis Guard ......... Speedy Lillian Pugh Guard ........... Winky” Anna Winkler —Myrtle Chausse. The basketball season of 1923-1924 was in every respect, quite a suc- cess. Coach Hallock and his methods of coaching have brought the team up from the rut into a champtionship contender of no mean ability. Four of last year’s men answered the call to basketball this year. These men were Captain Carl Botten, Fred Meyer, Roy Conner and Clarence Preston. GAMES Arlington, December 28. Arlington defeated Sultan in the first practice game of the season. Coach Hallock tried out some new men, and Arlington played a good game. The score was 39 to 21. Sultan, January 4. In a return game, Arlington again defeated Sultan. The score was 43 to 24.

BASEBALL 1923 Ilie 1923 baseball season vas quite successful for Arlington, in fact the championship pennant now hangs in the A. H. S., proving that Arlington has lived up to the standard set by some of her other athletics. The A. H. S. nine set a pace last year that had their opponents speeding to keep up with them. The players practiced until they had their game down to a science, and by carefully observing their weak places and also those of others, they pro- ceeded to whip their opponents in a systematic way. The biggest game of the season was played with Snohomish on neutral ground. Everett was chosen as the place for the game. A large delegation of students from Arlington kept the boys in good spirits during the game. Arl- ington won the day by quite a large margin. The 1923 lettermen were—Clarence Preston (Captain), Rudie Thom- sen Earl Kraetz, Herman Fry, George Preston, Fred Meyer, Maurice Dunn, Robert Connacher, Howard Palmer.

Good dress reflects a well ordered mind, good habits, and intelligence. Many an intelligent man has failed to convince others of his intelligence because of his careless, slipshod manner of clothing himself. As a man dresses so shall he reap—the good or bad opinion of his fellows.
