VALEDICTORIAN SALUTATORI AN COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS GIRLS' LEAGUE AWARD WINNER 4 BOYER PLAQUE WINNER I OSCAR I came into being nine years ago by the hands of workers in a Federal Government Art Project. I was first discovered as a cedar log floating in the Duamish ater Way in Seattle. After I had been carved into a reproduction of the statue of Chief Seattle, I was permanently lent to this school, District No. 324, by the Federal Government. It was a memorable day when I took my place in Arlington High, and gained my nickname, Oscar. I have watched the growth of the school and pupils, listened to their problems, and shared their joys. Therefore I feel that I am in a position to help the staff recall favorite scenes and activities to your minds. May I help keep alive in your memories the progress and happiness you have experienced during the past year! 5 (Standing L to R.) Adam Ruedi. James Addison, Margaret E. Nelson. Mrs. Clara T.

These turbulent years are not easy ones, and you have spent much time and energy with wartime activities—selling stamps and bonds, old clothes and waste paper campaigns —besides the mental strain involved. We are mindful of these difficulties and have tried to be sympathetic and helpful. May you succeed in your endeavors! 6 ■ ANNUAL STAFF (L. to R.) Business Manager. Earl Greathouse; Adviser.

As I look back through this last year, I find you have made many accomplishments. You started the year by winning the A.S.B. Ticket Sale, following this up with the Senior-Junior Party. Honor was brought to your class by having fourteen members in Honor Society. To date, you have seven letter- men. You gave a successful Home Coming Ball and Senior Play. You have now come to the end of your high school career. I bid you farewell, Seniors, and good luck to you wherever your path in life may lead. As you recall your days in Ar- lington High, may courage be yours to undertake and overcome all obstacles that may bar your way to success. 8 DON BACKS I ROM— Taxi, mister?” Honor Society 2; Band I. 2; Football 4; Class Yell Leader 4; Junior Prom Decoration Committee 3.

This year they have been very active. A Junior Prom, which proved successful, was given in April. Another undertaking which proved successful was the party given for the Seniors. They had eight football lettermen, who hope to be a part of a winning team next year. They also had five basketball lettermen, one of which was chosen for the All-County Basketball Team. The brilliance was shown by their nineteen members in Honor Society. All of the Junior girls took part in the annual Girls' League Mixer. Three students showed their dramatic ability by performing in the All-School Play. Yes, I see that the Juniors have spent an active year, accomplishing a great deal, and I hope to see them do even better as Seniors. ie First Row—Winona Smoots, Olive Larson, Lois Knudson, Pat Taylor, Barbara Lamp, Ardis Hofland, Velma Allen, Colleen Hansen.

While looking back over this school year I find 9 football lettermen and 5 basketball lettermen from your class. In honor so- ciety I find 23 students, which I might say is pretty good. At the beginning of the year the Sophomores gave the poor little Frosh a party. The date was September 29. In the all-school play, held on February I, were 6 members of your industrious class. The Soph- omore girls found they really had a lot of talent in their class and took first place in the annual Girls' League Mixer contest held among the classes each year. You also came out second in the sale of the annual. May your junior year be as successful as the past year has been. 20 First Row—Doris Alcen. Elsie Thomas.

You came here as mere babes, but soon adjusted yourselves to high school life. There are many things ahead of you, as you have three more years at A.H.S. I shall be watch- ing over you and let us hope you will achieve your goal at the end of this time. You have done well in your first year at Arlington. Second place in the A.S.B. Sale was won by you. Honor was yours with one member representing your class in the All- School play. In Football you had three lettermen and you gave a successful party for the Sophomores. As time goes by you will add to your list of accomplishments.. I am looking forward to seeing your class of 48 again next year. 22 First Row—Carole Gunderson, Joyce Ness, Bernice Kreken, Miriam Rayburn, Mary Pendle ton. Nadine Morris. Elsie Kackman.

The cooking club was under the direction of Mrs. Nelson, and the sewing club v o: supervised by Miss Young. The nineteen girls in cooking club were led by President, Helen Terhorst; Vice-President, Joy Verduin; Secretary, Shirley Rice; Treasurer, Margie Johonsen. They gave two successful dances on November 17th and March 16th. The sewing club had no officers, it being led by the adviser. They have been working on Red Cross material, and plan an exhibit for Open House. Their work has been interesting and helpful, as has that of the cooking club. F. F. A. The curtailment of some of the major F.F.A. activities has not lessened the interest or enthusiasm in the organization. Regular monthly meetings were held. Basketball games have been played with other F.F.A. chapters in the county. A Father-Son Banquet was held in May. This has indeed been a successful year. The officers were: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Forrest Holland Reporter Perry Robins Lloyd Manes Watch-dog Cliff Gallaugher Don Lallemand Adviser Mr. Langdon Gerald Holland CAMERA CLUB Under the advice of Miss Sohlberg, Camera Club members have been busy learning to print and de- velop pictures. The darkroom' h'as been open to all members wishing to use it. • « On October I3tfi it held a dance, to which the students of Monroe were invited. The members held a snapshot contest, prizes being given to the winner of each division. The developing of the football pic- tures was undertaken as a special project. The officers were: President Margery Traulson Secretary Helen Tillman Vice-President Darlene Sesby Treasurer Cecelia Wallitner Hi-Y The Hi-Y has spent an active year under the guidance of Mr. Rayburn and its able officers: President, Don Morris; Vice-President, Paul Wangsmo; Secretary, Bob Sluman; Treasurer, Howard Robb. The twenty-two members enjoyed the meetings and cooperated to make their Father-Son Banquet a success. They also put out roosters for the football and basketball games. 25 26 HONOR SOCIETY The Torch Honor Society this year consisted of fifty-seven members. The annual banquet was given on December 8, 1944, in the cafeteria for the Freshmen who made the honor roll the first quarter. An assembly was held January 19th to give out the pins earned. The officers for the year are: President, Josephine Hartx; Vice-President, Norma Udeen; Secretary-Treasurer, Olive Larson; Adviser, Mr. Henning. THE EAGLE Under the direction of Miss Satre and Mrs. Bean, the school paper was published by the Journalism and Multilith students. It was put out twice each month during the second semester. Despite wartime dif- ficulties, they have done a fine job. LANGUAGE CLUB The Buenos Vecinos Club, meaning good neighbors, chose the following for its officers: President, Josephine Hartz; Vice-President, Dawn Hagan; Secretary-Treasurer, Dorothy Prather. It has had many in- teresting meetings and has given a Christmas program and Pan-American Day program for the school. The adviser is Mrs. Lindgren. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club was organized by our science teacher, Mr. Bernier, for all students interested in that field. Thirty boys took active interest in the club, which met weekly. It was both interesting and useful for the boys. BOYS' CLUB With the aid of their adviser, Mr. Addison, the boys again had a successful year. They chose the following officers: President, Ronald Boyden; Vice-President, Lyle Vick; Secretary-Treasurer, Howard Robb. Sponsored by them was the Noon League Basketball and Ping-Pong Tournaments. GIRLS' LEAGUE The most outstanding work of the Girls' League was the formation of the teen age canteen, with the co- operation of the Boys' Club. The annual Girls' League-Boys' Club assembly was given in October. The mixer was a very entertaining hour with the sophomores placing first, and the seniors second. In March they gave a program for the benefit of the Red Cross. The adviser is Miss Harris. PEP CLUB The officers for Pep Club were: President, Sally Fingarson; Vice-President, Barbara Lamp; Secretary, Ardis Hofland; Treasurer, Dorothy Gay; Drill Leader, Maxine Hansvold. The Pep Club has been very suc- cessful under the leadership of Mrs. Hawley. It has the Pep Club Tolo on December 15, 1944. Pep and enthusiasm were inspired by this club. 27 jBand The High School Band had a very successful year this year. At the beginning of the year the Band played for all of the home football and basketball games. The Band also went to Snohomish and played for the basketball tournament. During the early part of December the Band went out to the Air Base and played for a Flag Raising—Civilian Pennant Award. December 1st they played for a Vaudeville at the Base. A concert for the Sixth Bond Drive was given at the High School December 6th. A second Vaudeville was given at the Air Base February 22nd, at which the Band played. The Band's last and main concert was given March 29th. The Band played many of the main pieces they played in Everett at the Music Festival, May 1st. I wish to compliment the Band, for I feel it has improved greatly. In the four years Mr. Reudi has been here he has given to the school a Band of which we may all well as proud. 28 0 ramatics The Dramatics Club, under the supervision of Miss Anne Knudson, has fifteen members. During the first semester they were learning how to speak correctly by giving short skits. Having accomplished this, they worked on three short one-act plays, which were given for the school. The names of the plays are: The Tenth Ward, Miss Sidney Carton. and If Women Worked as Men Do. This club has been most enjoyable for both members and their adviser. It is encouraging to see the effort and interest put forth by the students. ALL-SCHOOL PLAY Bogeyman, a mystery comedy in three acts, was selected for the All-School Play. The cast was: Ex Dixort, Lyle Vick; Lanny Harper, Lou Hiett; Charlie, Dale Vick; Peggy Howard, Ardath Boyden; Libby Green, Colleen Cruver; Vicky Green, Alene Langdon; Mrs. Whipple, Barbara Lamp; Pat Young, Betty Nordby; Ellen Mitchell, Jean Hansen; Flunky Smith, Arthur Hoery. The play is centered around the long-abandoned Dixon mansion, which a group of college girls and their housemother are trying to buy. The house has acquired a haunted house reputation, and on this basis the owner and his friend plan to scare the girls out of buying it. The play formed a good evening's entertainment, under the direction of Miss Anne Knudson. 29 With few experienced players on the squad, the Eagles faced a tough football schedule. The thirty- five who turned out worked hard during the season, under the coaching of Mr. Schuh. Ben Johnson was chosen as All-Northwest tackle, John Moll was on the All-Northwest second team, and Aberge received honorable mention. These same three were also chosen for the All-County team. The squad chose Ben Knudson to receive the Blocking Award. Ben Johnson was chosen Honorary Captain and Most Inspirational Player. Much is expected of Alskog and Smith next year, as well as Moll and Aberge. With many of the play- ers back, we hope to have a good season.

The three seniors on the first squad were lost at the end of the semester, leaving five juniors and five sopho- mores on the first ten. The highlight of the season was the County Tournament. The Eagles upset Marysville and Darrington, after losing to Stanwood. By losing the Edmonds, they received fourth place. Aberge was given a place on the All-County first team. In the Everett Y.M.C.A. Independent Tournament, they again lost to Stanwood, but later came through with two wins. Aberge was again given a place on the All-Tournament first team. With the first ten all back, they should have a better season next year.

The initial cut left twenty-five. The squad is composed mostly of sophomores and fresh- men. Dave McDonald is expected to be a stand-out pitcher. The rest of the squad are inexperienced and somewhat of a question mark. The weather has delayed turnout. The lineup for the first game was: Aberge, catcher; Wangsmo, 1st base; McClure, 2nd base; Tiland, 3rd base; Smith, shortstop; L. Vick, right field; Stowe, center field; Strand, left field; McDonald, pitcher. Other promising pitchers are D. Vick, Arnot, Johnson, Strand and Preston. The prospects for track look good this year and also show promises of working into a good team next year. Out of the thirty-six turning out, eight have had experience from last year. Alskog, Morris and Keller are outstanding for the weights; Crow, Holland, Morris and Robb for relays and sprinting; Williams, J. Moll and Hiett for longer distances; Cumbow and Hafner for jumps. Due to the weather and the condition of the track, it has been difficult to turn out. However, much is expected of the boys, and it is encouraging to see the interest they are showing. 34 This club is made up of boys who have won letters in major or minor sports. The officers chosen for the first semester were: Ben Johnson, President; Jim Hammer, Vice-President; Howard Robb, Secretary- Treasurer. During the second semester, they were: Carroll Aberge, President; Keith Williams, Vice-Presi- dent; Kenny Crow, Secretary-Treasurer. The chief accomplishments of the club were the initiation of new members and drawing up a new constitution. Girls Githletics Athletics for girls were planned and carried out by Miss Harris and an athletic committee. The girls on this committee were: Norma Udeen, Chairman; Amanda Yost, Shirley Hayden, Lou Ellen Orser and Betty Nordby. The Noon-League Tournaments were supervised by this committee. The freshmen won first place in the volleyball games, the seniors coming in second. In the basketball games, the sophomores bowed to the seniors in the final game. Ping-pong Tournaments were won by Lou Ellen Oiser and Dorothy Prather. Fall and Spring sports were also carried on during sixth periods. 35 SEPTEMBER— 71 temones 6—School opens; books, too. 15—Football at Anacortes.
