Each of us knows that much of the suc- cess of our progress depends upon concentra- tion, cooperation, consideration for others, and a mutual pleasure and understanding in an undertaking carried through to a satisfac- tory ending. Then when the journey is completed, and one muses in retrospect, may each and every one have the feeling that he sees clearly that for which he was striving. May your goal be worthwhile and may you never lose sight of it is the sincere wish of the faculty. % i i i 9re i v 8be T W° ? A V Ao - . e i fro 0' „ Re� ' oV u .

BEAN—ADVISER Being air-minded and anxious to make a good start, we just stopped long enough to let the students of Arlington High meet us and know we had arrived. Then we again took to the air. Dropping lower over the Athletic Park one football substitute and four baseball boys bailed out to begin an outstanding high school career in athletics. We added another oar to the side of our Fighter when our class team won an Inner Class League Basketball game from the Sophomores. In order to stay in combat we pushed two girls and one boy out of the cockpit so they could parachute to an office in the Frosh Soph Pep Club, Girls' League, and Student Council. Other members with musical ability of our class found their niches and bailed out to take their places in the high school band. Our flight to Frosh Village was completed and we all boarded our Fighter to continue our flight to Sophomoreville. FLIGHT II SOPHOMOREVILLE Before landing at Sophomoreville airport the new crew took over the controls. They are as follows: ERLAND ELEFSON—PRESIDENT DENNIS ALSKOG—VICE-PRESIDENT BONNIE THOMSEN—SECRETARY EVERETT TILAND—TREASURER JOHN MOLL—YELL LEADER We checked in at Sophomoreville airport, after landing, received our instructions and took to the sky. Before gaining too much altitude we made a bombing run on the Athletic Department. We scored nine boys in football, five in basketball, three in baseball, and sev- eral in track. These were all direct hits. We scored one extra big bullseye when one of our boys chalked up a victory and made All Northwest Second and All County Football Teams. Making a very good showing here, we were determined to gain recognition on other fronts. Seven of our girls with an abundance of energy parachuted to the Girls A Club and were very active during this year. Peering out of the bombay doors we discovered twenty-three members in Honor Society. We synchronized our watches and awaited the date of September 29th, for our party in honor of the Frosh. Practically all of our class members being absent from the plane, we landed our Fighter by land baseci controls and once again boarded it with high spirits. We had come to the half-way mark in our flight. These past two years had been very eventful and we were now ready to continue our flight into the eventful years to come. FLIGHT III JUNIORTOWN Flight III was started by an overhauling of our Fighter and electing a new crew. •Symbol from our motto Rowing, Not Drifting meaning a victory. 12 The class members who took over this flight were as follows: EVERETT TILAND—PRESIDENT BOB SMITH—VICE-PRESIDENT MERILYN PETERSON—SECRETARY HOWARD ROBB—TREASURER TINY BARCLAY—YELL LEADER Our instructions were sent to us by radio, and being anxious to get started, we didn’t land at the Juniortown airport. We let the other students of A.H.S. know our presence by the continual dropping of flares and our landings at the airport. Instead of making our athletic-minded boys parachute to this department, we landed and they hopped out. As our sixteen girls in Pep Club Drill Team were just new to the club, we also let them out before taking off. The members of our class were getting very brave now, and swooping down over A.H.S., approximately thirty bailed out to hold offices in the various clubs. When we landed we found we had nineteen members belonging to the Torch Honor Society. After several attempts to get our class passengers all together, we finally boarded our Fighter and took to the air. The reason for this was the secret mission we were planning. After our plans were made and discussed, mum was the word and we landed once again at Juniortown. We had to watch for the opportune moments when we could silently creep into the gym and decorate. After several days of this, our decorating was finished, our mission half accomplished, and our Junior Prom date made known. Everyone was excited and, due to our dropping invitations to the various places, our Prom was a complete success. This added another oar to the side of our plane. Before getting ready to leave Juniortown our boys who had hopped out for the Ath- letic Department reported a victory on that front. We had sixteen football lettermen, six basketball, three track and four baseball lettermen. Flight III being ended, we all put on our flight gear and made a smooth takeoff toward the horizon. FLIGHT IV SENIOR CITY We swooped down very low over the high school. We made speed-runs, barrel rolls, and tail spins. We were seniors at last. This was the reason for such an exhibition. To cli- max all this fancy flying, we made a perfect three-point landing on the large A.H.S. Airport at Senior City. Our Fighter's last crew was elected: LOU HIETT—PRESIDENT ERLAND ELEFSON—VICE-PRESIDENT MARILYN JENSEN—SECRETARY AUDREY HOUSER—TREASURER BOB SMITH—YELL LEADER We were very anxious to make a good and immediate start, and for the last time in their high school athletic career the lettermen hopped out for their final victories. Boys and girls from our plane hopped out of the Fighter with an abundance of energy and took offices in various clubs. Lettermen's Club ranked high for the boys with thirteen and Pep Club for the girls with eighteen. These are just two of many clubs we participated in. Again we made a good contact with intelligence and were rewarded with fifteen in Torch Honor Society. Our last flight was characterized by a very successful Senior Ball, Senior Play given by the talented members of our class, and the Senior Mothers' Tea. Thus after having made a long journey and encountering a little rough weather on the way, the Class of '47 has made it through. The help given us by the radar stations along the way has guided us into all our landings without casualties. So that now we take off on a more difficult flight. We leave ' Arlington's familiarity with regret as we go out into the world of peace. Many problems will be encountered, but we know our four years' preparation here will serve us well. We board our plane for the future, and thus the Class of 47 leaves with our motto held high. We ll be Rowing, Not Drifting. 13 Senior (31c ass We, the distinguished inhabitants of the upper regions of Arlington High, with the known presence of a sane and clear mind, do hereby bequeath these remains to the following: ARTICLE I To Arlington High we leave everything we have as they probably can use it.
