cSeniot C lass l listo'n the capable management of Don Meier, everyone declared it a huge success We were entertained by the Senior Class of ’39 in November. We had a large turnout for different activities, being well represented in the All School Play, Honor Society, Basketball, Football, and Baseball. Twelve members were officers of different clubs and we left a fine group of officers for the next year's A. S. B. The last and final leap proved to be a very successful one for the class of 40. The Seniors with their outstanding leadership and ability will leave a vacancy which will be hard to refill. The class was not only well represented in the many activities but also in upholding the scholastic standing of the school, as shown by twelve Seniors in Honor Society. We won the A. S. B., All School Play, and Fall Vaudeville ticket sales, putting three 40's on the Salesman Plaque. Such sports as Football, Basketball, and Tennis hvae brought to the front a number of winning Senior players. Our class gave the Second Annual Homecoming Ball and Assembly, December 29, for the old graduates, honoring the classes from 1905 to 1923. The girls in the class gave their annual Big and Little Sister party. A senior. Kathleen Spragg, was chosen to be editor of the Annual, as it is no longer a Junior class project, but a school project. Look our class officers over and see what you think of them: President ................... Vice-President Secretary ................... Treasurer ................... Yell Leader Girl's League Representative ... Bonnie Cohoon Rosemary Wrage . Kathleen Spragg ... Fred Nygaard . Marion McCaulley Kathleen McDonald We Seniors are indebted to our class adviser. Miss Anne Knudson. She began her first leap with us in the old school. Doric Ball, Chairman Jessie Boyd Helen Diesing Ida Holm Emil Peterson —24—

 Senior C lass flisto'iy In the year 1936, we, the present Senior Class entered into the old High School and embarked on a series of hops which brought us up to our present status. We are in the very unique position of being a leap year class. This is a phenomenon which occurs only to one class out of four so we have decided to use leap year as the basis of this. Our Class History. T ucking our diplomas into our pockets, we started out on our first daring leap into High School. We selected Bob Wolf for President, Don Meier as Vice-President, Iris Walters as Secretary-Treasurer, and Maxine Peck and Bonnie Cohoon as yell leaders. Under the very capable guidance of these officers, we started out on our first leap. Our second leap was the mixer. Some of us wanted to leap over that, but the Seniors reached up and pulled us down. A good time was had by all, except us. Our third leap was into the new High school. We felt little twinges of regret at leaving the old building but those were soon forgotten in the joy of moving into the new one. Our next leap was a skit in the vaudeville and was followed closely by the party we gave the Sophomores in return for the one they gave us. Many of our members were honor students. We were well represented in football, basketball, track and baseball as well as having three members turning out for debate, having members in Tumbling. Pep Club, and Eagle Coterie, and having two actors in the all school play, one playing in a leading role. When we finally got our report cards for the year and found that we had passed we went home for the summer vacation after the moving assembley. We aren’t especially new to this hopping business—we have had one long strenuous hop in getting this far. Now that we are here, we are going to stay with it for the second leap. Our class officers were elected as follows: President .......................... Vice-President ..................... Secretary Treasurer ................ Yell Leader Girl’s League Representative ....... .. Clyde Hayden ..... Don Meier ..... Iris Walters Bonnie Cohoon Kathleen McDonald Our first enjoyable leap during the year was being the guest of the Freshmen at a Soph.-Frosh party. Surviving from the party okay, we tackled the new idea of the Sophomore Mother's Tea on December 10, in the school cafeteria. In the Boy’s Smoker we had those famous two. Bob Albin vs. Leonard Hollis. We returned the Freshmen’s party by giving them a Frosh-Soph Barn Dance party in the cafeteria. Once more showing our originality we organized a class band under the capable supervision of Mr. Henrichsen. Drawing a deep breath, we as Juniors joyously leaped into our third year of work in Arlington High School. We were capably led by a fine group of officers which were: President ................................... Harold Smith Vice-President ............................... Bob Albin Secretary ........................................... Iris Walters Treasurer .......................................... Elmer Husby Yell Leader ....................................... Bonnie Cohoon Girl’s League Representative ........................Helen Diesing Our first major leap of this year was a party given in honor of the Senior class. A jolly time was had by all. Leap No. 2 was a peppy assembly given to boost basketball. Leap No. 3 was a huge success—remember our Penguin Promenade? Under —23—
