SENIOR CLAES HISTORY Athletics have occupied such an important part of our high school life that they de- serve special mention. In football, basketball, tennis, and baseball the class of '42 brought honors. Charles Haddcnham won the inspirational cup in football and Bill Lampley won it in basketball. We would also like to thank Miss Satre, Mrs. Bean, and Mr. Barnett, our home room teachers, who gave us a helping hand along with Miss Meyers, helping us whenever needed through our four years of High School. In bringing the events of these short happy years to a close, we know, in leaving, that here we have faced many problems of life, and found the true meaning of loyalty and friendship. These days will linger in our hearts forever. GLORIA LLOYD. Chairman. ART SMITH AN'EITA CROW CHARLES SNELSON DOROTHY GRIMM 18

SENIOR CLASS HISTOflY With great anticipation, joy, and awe-filled hearts we climbed the steps of Arling- ton High for the first time, with little realization of the events of those four years ahead of us. From our freshman year, filled with enthusiasm and high ideals, we clambored along the rugged road of success and through the spirit and loyalty of our fellow classmen have at least attained one goal in life’s journey. Looking back over the years of our companionship, we find some events never to be forgotten. The thing we dreaded most was the thought of initiation, but the seniors had a sur- prise for us. Instead of the usual affair they politely showed us all around the school and explained to us all the school activities. In the early September of '39 we held our first class meeting electing John Pearson as president. Bill Lampley as vice-president, Ruth Wangsmo as secretary, Constance Wegener as treasurer, and Gloria Lloyd as yell Fader, who, working with our adviser Miss Meyers, guided us over our first year successfully. We remember our class as being the largest in school and winning second in the A. H. S. ticket sale. In the month of March we gave the Sophomores a successful St. Patrick’s party, decorating the cafeteria in a bright green color. With the help of one of our home room teachers. Miss Satre, we presented a skit for the fall vaudeville, Solomon Grundy. Under the supervision of Bill Lampley as president. Art Smith as vice-president, Thelma Botten as secretary, Gloria Lloyd as treasurer, and Ruth Wangsmo as yell leader, and Miss Meyers, who is still remembered as our patient adviser, we passed our Sophomore year. We gave the Freshmen a party, and the girls gave a SophomoTe Mother s Tea. We had football, basketball, tennis, and baseball lettermen. Bill Lampley helped win the district doubles in tennis. We finished our Sophomore year feeling proud and happy, looking forward to our junior year as upper classmen. Gloria Lloyd was elected president, John Pearson vice-president, Hilma Peterson secretary, Douglas Young, treasurer, and Jerry Starr yell leadeT still under the supervision of Miss Meyers. We were no longer referred to as under classmen, but bore that elevat- ed name of upper classmen, and took our proper places in the junior section at assemblies. We showed the rest of the school we had the ability to entertain when we gave our Junior Prom. We decorated with red, white, and blue, and called it our Patriotic Prom. Also in this year we had many occasions that stand out vividly. In November we gave the seniors a party in the cafeteria. Many juniors were chosen for the spring oper- etta, and many showed up well in the fall vaudeville. We also had many lettermen. Now we are Seniors! We remembered not so long ago when we first climbed the steps of Arlington High. We have elected Art Smith as president, Nick Healy as vice- president, Dorothy Grimm as secretary, Douglas Young as treasurer, Jerry Starr as yell leader, and our last year with our faithful adviser. Miss Meyers. In the month of November we gave one of the most successful Senior Balls ever given. The Senior play Charley’s Aunt was given in May and was a worthy successor pf our class talent, under the direction of Miss Knudson. In December the Senior girls sponsored a benefit assembly to help the U. S. O. (o buy Christmas presents for the soldiers. In February we gave the Junior Class a Valentine party, decorating the cafeteria all in red and white. 17
