===== tEljr « ttllaiuuimiBh (Trail ■ SENIOR CLASS HISTORY When looking back upon the four years we have now spent in this deai old school, we can’t help thinking that our high school careers have been suc- cessful in every way. We entered this school in the fall of 1922 and from the beginning we took to our work with a relish. Never before had there been such an industrious class, and the upper-classmen were struck by the earnestness and zeal with which we did our work. Tradition has decreed that the Freshman class be the goat; however, we bore our troubles stoically, and though the upper-classmen did their best to torment us, they found it hard to do so. Soon after taking up our school duties we organized the class and elected class officers. We chose for a motto Vim, Virtue, and Victory. This motto has characterized the Class of ’26 in everything which it has undertaken to do. The first event of importance to us was the Freshman mixer. After going through that ordeal we felt fully initiated into whatever mysteries of student life there are. Soon afterwards we gave the Sophomores a party which was a great success. Flowever, we were not only successful socially, but we had al- ready become well established in athletics, for some of the boys in our class were on the county championship football and baseball teams of that year. The days flew swiftly by and we soon found ourselves at the end of our Freshman year. Upon coming back for the second year of our high school careers we found our old seats taken by a new crop of Freshmen while we occupied the seats which had been used by the sophomores of the year before. Our class had now lost several of its first-year members, but this proved to be no drawback, for we were far more successful in everything than we had been in our Fresh- man year. We were well represented in every school activity. Some of our boys were on the football team which battled its way to the Western Washington cham- pionship; others were on the basketball and baseball teams. We were also strongly represented in debate, the negative team being made up entirely of sophomores; one member of the affirmative team was also of our class. Four of our members were in the orchestra, several in the glee club, and three of our members were on the Arlington High School News Staff. However, it must not be construed that we engaged only in the various outside activities. We worked diligently on our lessons, and as a result a large number of our members was on the honor roll. The time sped onward in its flight and we soon found ourselves starting out upon our Junior year. Our first two years at Hi had been successful in every respect, but our Junior year eclipsed them both.. As Juniors it was our duty to publish the Annual. This was no small task, but as always before we remembered our class motto and did our work well. We chose George Starlund for editor and John Wendell for business manager. These two proved to be efficient in their work; the result was that the Annual was pronounced the best ever. The outstanding event of the year was the Junior Prom. This was the
