Senior Class History—Continued other classes in track. This we did with a hearty good will although the Sophs, gave us a good race. There is a splendid opportunity for some of the boys to finish their High School careers with a state track medal on their breasts. The Senior play fulfilled expectations in every respect and set a fitting example for our successors to follow. With the Senior Ball and Sneak Day as coming events, we will have our lime occupied with pleasure as well as work. We’re now about to embark on a long voyage. We see in the distance a new land filled with opportunities and full of promise. We step on board the ship, the anchor is tripped, and we sail off to a new world leaving the dear old haven of Arlington High as a pleasant memory behind us. —Haakon Wahl.

Senior Class History Four years ago there entered this High School a group of Freshmen filled with the desire to drink from the cup of knewledge. We felt a little green at first, but after being made full fledged students at the Freshman Mixer we soon took up our duties as Freshmen. We elected our class officers and chose the purple and white as our class colors. VI e proved our ability in athletics by capturing the championship of the school in baseball School work seemed a little hard at the beginning but being possessed with the grit and determination which is characteristic of the class of '25. we steadily forged ahead with an undaunted purpose. When we came back again next year we found ourselves in the position of worthy Sophomores. We were no longer the source of amusement for the upper classes, but had our own turn at teasing the Freshies. Our numbers were slightly diminished and some familiar faces were missing. This, however, rather helped than retarded us, for those that remained could be depended on to further the interests of the class. This year a number of our boys helped win the county championship in football. We branched off into the different clubs, taking an active part in school activities. The time flew swiftly and pleasantly onward, and before we realized it, we had entered on our Junior year. The responsibility of putting out the Annual now became one of our duties. We had now learned the golden rule of work and met this task with a determination to succeed. With Melvin Forbes as editor and Maurice Dunn as business manager, an Annual worthy of our pride was put out. The Junior Prom was the main activity of this year. It was a decided success and a good example of what the class of '25 could do. School life had now taken on a more colorful luster, and we looked forward to our Senior year with elated spirits. We were now firmly established in school and were ready to take up the leadership handed down to us by the preceding class. At last we have arrived at the long sought for position of Seniors. For three years we have steadily progressed towards our goal. The honor of having the leadership of the school is now ours. We look back upon the pleasant times enjoyed during the three years we have attended High School and begin to realize that this has been the most njoyable time of our lives. This year is destined to be the most successful year of our High School career. We have representatives in every school activity. The greatest number of the football boys belong to our class. They helped make Arlington known by aiding in its establishment as football champs of the State. We found it our pleasant duty to prove our superiority by trouncing the
