SPIRIT OF LIBERTY Statement Page 5 Spirit is now a very fashion- able word; to act with spirit, to speak with spirit, means only to aet rashly, and to talk indiscreetly. An able man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions; he is neither hot nor timid. —Chesterfield Student “SPIRITS OP VICTORY” OCTOBER 25-2� . 1976 H.C. Pg.9 FRESHMEN win again Homecoming Fage 11 Homecoming week was full of many varied activities, whether it was dressing up in funny outfits or attending the Senior Spaghetti Dinner. Royalty was announced on Wednesday, October 27, King and Queen, Brian Foster and Lori Pettigrew; Senior Prince and Princess, Bruce Leach and Judi Holt; Junior Prince and Princess, Rick Love and Kim Kuney; Sophomore Prince and Princess, Mike McClure and Debbie Wold; Freshman Prince and Princess, Mike Wold and Christine Dawn. This years Grand Marshal was Chuck Erickson, a former Junior High Principal. Running this years festivities were co-chairpersons Bill Kidd and Carol Brenne. Despite the fact of foul weather Thursday spirits remained high for the parade and bonfire. The weather took a turn for the better just in time to permit the Freshmen to show up upperclassmen floats for the second year in a row. A serpentine lead the way to a roaring bonfire at the football field. The Ferndale Golden Eagles were our competition for this year's Homecoming football game, but to Arlington's dismany we were defeated 6-0. The halftime entertainment included a parade of royalty and floats, Band and II Drill Team, and a short speech by the Grand Marshal. the Fourth Time c.c. rg.15 This year proved to be another winning season for the AHS Cross-Country Team. Under the direction of coach Chuck Randall, the squad dropped only one league meet this year, and won the NWAA league meet for the fourth consecutive year. One sad note accompanied this year in CC. Dale Klein, senior four-year man, and top runner, contracted bronchitis soon after the season's start, and as a result could not run for the remainder of the year. Pictured below are: Bill Kidd, Kathy Hillis, Leanne Washburn, Margaret Carlson, Bill Kinney, John Bunkleman, Coach Chuck Randall, Ed Aylesworth, Paul Satushek, Melanie Washburn, Kevin Leach, Eric Elefson, Bob Cook, Debbie Kroeze, Alice Baker, Ken Beihl, and Gary Beihl. FOOTBALL AAEW a mav i A STEW Arlington High School's football team had something new to offer in many ways this year. Under the direction of a new head coach, Mr. Jim Kavaney, the team came through with a winning season against some tough opponents. Youth and experience combined to produce one of the best Eagle football squads yet. 1976 V U A A IK ITS FIKAL This year's football season was a time of change for both school and team. Under new head coach Jim Kavaney, the Arlington Eagles compiled a win-loss record of 6-3. Because of the miniscule league that the Eagles played in (the NWAA in 1976 was comprised of Arlington, Lake Stevens, Stanwood, and Monroe), their three league games assumed gigantic importance. Arlington was eliminated from play-off action when they were defeated by Lake Stevens, on Sept. 24. Next year, Arlington will join the Seamount League, which will have ten schools. The competition may be tougher, but at least every game will be a league game. Although Coach Kavaney will be losing many talented seniors to graduation this year, he has a competent reserve of strength to tap in the form of underclassmen, who look forward to a successful season next year as they go Seamount in 1977.

This year, two men, Al Coghill, a frosh coach of years past, and Bill Kneadler, new to our town from Lakewood, did their best to whip the ninth-graders into the championship form that they had displayed last season. However, midway through their season, Arlington's freshmen suffered a crucial defeat at the hands of Monroe, ending an unbeaten streak and moving them out of the lead. Undaunted, the frosh came back to take a big win against Lakewood, 3-0, at home, which placed them in a three-way tie with Monroe and Lakewood for the championship. This year, the freshmen team showed many individuals with promising talent for seasons to come, as coaches Coghill and Kneadler strive for an even better performance in their second year with the freshmen. GMB 12 30 76 CHAMPIONSHIP F. Football Page S3 BUMP, SET, AKTD... spike: Volleyball Page 2S The girls of the AHS volleyball squad showed surprising strength early on in their season by taking some big wins against tough opponents. For a while, Arlington was part of a three-way tie for the first place spot in their league. But crucial losses later on in the fall destroyed Arlington's chances for making it to the district tournament. The girls ended their season with a 6-4 winning record. Winner of the inspriational award for this year was Connie Carlson, who was also 1976 captain. The team displayed a lot of promising talent this year in the form of underclassmen who should make Arlington a power to be reckoned with in volleyball next year. Other award winners this year on the volleyball team were Kristi Kroeze, MVP; and Yvonne Yaphe, who will be captain next year. GMB 1 5 77 REACHED Basketball Page 27 BLAINE TOURNEY CHAMPS Basketball Page 29 Under the leadership of head coach Bill Sharp, the basketball squad of AHS enjoyed a fair share of success during the 1976-77 season. Although they were often faced with opponents several inches taller, the Eagles superior speed enabled them to often compete and many times defeat opponents such as Monroe. Over the Christmas vacation, the team traveled to Ferndale to participate in the Blaine Christmas Tournament. By beating Meridian and Sultan High Schools, the Eagles took home first place with the first basketball team trophy to be brought to Arlington for quite some time. While developing much talent he'd had from previous years, Coach Sharp continued to build his team by preparing underclassmen for seasons to come. GMB 1 9 77 STEW SOPH TEAM Something new this year for AHS was the formation of a new basketball squad, composed entirely of sophomores. Coached by Harry Drinkwater, the sophs should provide much potential material for the J.V. and varisty teams next year, and the following. The sophomore team this year gave an excellent chance for many aspiring young players to gain experience who otherwise might not have made the junior varisty squad. It's an idea whose time has come. FRESHMEN Basketball Page 31 The freshmen this year, coached by Jim Kavaney, perhaps did not do as well as in seasons past. Although the frosh did not go undefeated this year, they did come up with a number of important wins against competition that gets harder every year. The freshmen basketball team also showed many promising players, whose potential could be very high. GMB 1 9 77 GIRLS GO FOR THE GOAL “,r ' -Si'S Girls' Basketball was another sport at AHS that experienced continued growth both in numbers of spectators attending the girls' games, and also in the large numbers of females turning out for the team itself. The girls were split into jayvee and varsity squads, with the latter coached by Miss Donna Torpey, and the former under the watchful eye of Mister Bill Kneadler. Arlington began the season with a moderate amount of success, but got bogged down in the beginning weeks of 1977. The team finished with a league record of 3-3, which included a big win over the defending champion Stanwood Spartans at home on January 26. A large portion of the varisty and jayvee squads consisted of underclassmen who gained valuable experience playing this year. Since four of the Eagles' starting five will be returning next year, Arlington should be able to mount a strong challenge for the championship they've waited for for three years. GMB 3 6 77 FOUR AT STATE VV resiling Page 35 Wrestling at AHS has become increasingly popular with fans around the greater Arlington area, and this year continued the trend as larger than ever crowds packed the Middle School Gymnasium to watch our boys square off in competition. The Arlington High Wrestling team showed considerably more strength than their league record of only two wins seems to indicate. Many of our outstanding wrestlers this year were in the same weight classification, which left gaps, as many wrestlers who had been on the varsity squad were forced to go jayvee. The Arlington reserves had a quite successful season, winning the major share of their matches. In addition, the Arlington Middle School continued to develop their wrestling program in order to meet the need for qualified wrestlers at the High School level. The team is under the direction of Mr. Bill Senica. Coaches Warner and Barker of the High School team decided a few years back that a pre-High School wrestling curriculum was neccessary since the boys that began turning out in their freshman year could not learn enough about the vital moves and holds that Arlington had to have in order to compete against other schools. GMB 3 5 77 MATME� GRUNT The Arlington team suffered their share of injuries during the season, also. The most serious of these was when Senior Lee Husby had his ribs cracked early on in the season, and was sidelined for the rest of the year. A special tribute is also due Senior Brian Foster, who has qualified for state in all of the four years he has attended AHS. This was Brian's final year of wrestling for AHS, and he finished off a tremendous high school career by taking fourth place at the state match in the 168 weight class, and scoring all 14 of Arlington's points. GMB 3 5 77 At the District Regional Tournament, three men qualified for state. Brian Foster, who won the 168 lb. division, along with Kelly Watkins, and Pete Warner, who took fourth place finishes in the 115 and 190 classes, respectively, were selected to participate in the state match. A fourth grappler, Ron Johnson, 178 lbs., was originally an alternate for state, but saw action in the tournament anyway when he took the place of an injured Burlington wrestler. TO VICTORY llr “EAGLES ARE THE BEST” Cheerleader� Page JIB Something new this year for ASH was the formation of a new team of spirit raisers, the yell leaders. The decision to form the group was made in part in order to make the cheerleaders' duties and responsibilities easier to handle. This year, the cheerleaders reduced their numbers back to seven girls, who attended the major sporting events, such as football and basketball. Yell leaders came to the relatively lesser known meets and matches, for example, cross-country and wrestling. Although on occasions the voices of girls cheering the athletes on caused more irritation than encouragement to the sweating men and or women who were trying to concentrate, on the whole the cheerstaff of AHS must be considered as an integral and needed part of the school program at Arlington. GMB 3 6 77 SERVICE ORGANIZATION Tennis Page 41 The boys' tennis team in 1977 once more showed a great deal of talent, as coach Pace did his best to instill within their heads the strategy of the game. The team this year was led by three top varsity players, Perry Fletcher, Eric Elefson, and Makoto Terajima. Fletcher played his final season this year, as he lettered for the fourth season. Elefson continued to develop his outstanding talent, which is no small feat because of his rather small stature. This has never deterred him in any sport, save basketball, perhaps. Terajima is an exchange student from Japan who has been playing tennis for sometime across the ocean. The three of them provea quite invaluable to coach Pace and the team in this final year of the NWAA league. GMB 3 7 77 THEY KNOW THEIR RACKET Tennis Page 43 Tennis this year enjoyed a fair measure of success as they once again learned the principles of serving, forehand, and backhand from the ever-patient coach Keith Pace. The girls' tennis was piloted this year by junior Kim Kuney and sophomore Colleen Garka, who teamed up for the first time together to capture the second place in the doubles competition at Sub-District. As a team, the girls finished second to Stanwood, with a league record of 2-2. Kim Kuney had the best record, losing only 2, while winning 12 matches. One sad note for the girls' team was the fact that their captain, Lisa Rohde, suffered from severe tendonitis near the end of the season and was unable to participate at Sub-District. GMB 3 7 77 THEY DO IT FOR THE HICKS Soccer I age 45 Soccer this year was in a stage on continued growth as the sport moved through its second year after starting up again in 1976. Coached by Mr. Leroy Livermore, the team was made up of a large number of new recruits how gained good experience in moving the ball with their feet. With coach Livermore constantly on hand to keep them on their toes, the team performed well, and, since most will be coming back to AHS next year, the boys (and girls) who form the team should be a squad to watch in seasons next year, and further the future. GMB 3 7 77 aro sarow show The people of the slopes started off the year with a swoosh. Hot waxing and a raffal showed that the people of the snow weren't all cold. They weren't cold but neither were the resorts. Due to lack of snow in the mountains the skiers were unable to show their stuff as they had hoped to. REG 3 6 77 Sports Life Page 47 EFFORT PAR fore: Sports Page 49 The local golfers at AHS had another successful season this year, polishing off many schools, such as Bellingham, that were quite a bit larger than themselves. Although they dropped a close match to Monroe early on in the season, the Arlington linksters still accomplished a great deal and are to be commended. This year in golf saw the introduction of two female members to the squad, Judi Holt and Toni Munizza, which marks yet another fall of an all-male team. The squad also received a new coach, Mr. Earl Bosket, who replaced former coach Don Gibbons when the latter became Athletic Director here. GMB 4 14 77 THIS IS THE This year's track team, although not quite measuring up to the championship standards of the 1973 team, did manage to make a great deal of progress despite a few setbacks. Not the least of these was the fact that team captain Dale Klein was still not fully recovered from his bout with influenza and mononucleosis the previous fall. His absence was keenly felt by his fellow members of the team, since Dale almost always won the mile and two mile runs in the regular season, and also placed third in the state meet last year after recording a personal record in the mile of 4:28. On the female side of the squad, the two Washburn sisters, Melanie and Leanne were a major asset to the team in the sprints and relay events. Melanie set state records last year in the 440 and 220 yd. dashes, and at the time of this writing appears to be headed for at least two more state titles, barring, of course, any catastrophe of the type that crippled Klein. The girls' team itself is also very strong and sent a number of sister relations to the state meet. Speaking personally, this writer feels proud to have been a member of this grand old organization which has provided inspiration and gratification for the last six years. GMB 4 13 77 TRACK TEAM Track Page 51 MISTER JOKES Track Page S3 ball: Baseball Page 55 Although they underwent a slight reduction in numbers from last year, the Arlington High School baseball squad, led by the indomitable spirit of coach Bob Warner, made significant improvement since the previous season. At the time of this writing, the squad has already scored victories over such schools as Bellingham and Langley. The team features a number of good hitters who also can take the mound as pitchers. This type of versatility is just one of their strong points that enabled the Eagles to complete a successful season. GMB 4 14 77 The talk of the We are looking back upon a historic time. America, through elections and the ending of a bicentennial celebration, has made history. Nations have gained and lost leaders. Arlington made history by passing their bond issue this year. The mood of our nation became conservation while in Arlington moods came and went. This is our Year in Words. September 1976 3 Viking II lands on Mars 7 First all school assembly.

Mao Tse-tung's widow, Chaing Ch'ing and other radical arrested for plotting a military takeover. 13 Lloyd Meeds visits the Senior class at AHS. 15 Dole-Mondale debate. 25-29 Homecoming Week. While the spirit organizations did their best to pull the student body into a Homecoming frenzy the best they were able to do was a semi-yahoo, this being on the night of the parade. This lack of spirit showed at the Senior Spaghetti Dinner when approximately five seniors showed up to work on the dinner. Luckily the dinner was catered by the Vocational Foods class so a lot of the work was cut down with many juniors and one sophomore helping out. The food was better than the turnout. While we're on the subject of food I'd like to mention a new group at school; VICA Vocational Foods. These people are not cafeteria workers or Home Ec. but a vocational group with on the job training in the area of commercial foods. Although their beginning was quite rocky obstacles have been removed and through the last year they have already matched and gone beyond other clubs in the school as far as energy, achievement and involvement. A good start for this first year program. The VICA orgainzaiton (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) also covers other programs such as Health Occupations and could include electronics, drafting, commerical art, horticulture and other programs started in our area. But for some reason these programs aren't extensive enough or they feel that they are not a vocation but a profession so they do not join. VICA supporters are hoping this attitude will pass over since Arlington is noted as one of the better schools for their vocational training in Western Washington.

PDM 4 14 77 The Year In Words Page 59 As these publications are being distributed and viewed for the first time, commencement is only a few days away, and it seems fitting to congratulate the Senior Class of 1977 on a job well done over these past twelve years. The school year that is about to come to a close has in my own view, shown both continuation of old trends, and some beginnings of what may be new traditions. The old boundaries, for instance, that strictly regulated where members of the Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Freshmen classes could or could not sit during assemblies in the auditorium, lunchtime in the cafeteria, etc., have begun to crumble in the last nine months. Perhaps in this our sixth year of being a four-year high school, class distinctions and separatism are becoming a thing of the past. Along with an increase in the total enrollment here, we have also seen an increase in the numbers and activities of those undesirable individuals who seem to take delight in kicking in the walls, strewing the halls with refuse, and engaging in other wise anti-social behavior. This is indeed pitiful, and the question comes to mind, How will we treat the new athletic and classroom facilities which seem to be on the way at last? Student apathy, which kept on at about last year's level, is a barrier to many such problems. People or persons in positions of responsibility and leadership have often been criticized for what is really a problem of attitude in those they lead or are responsible for. Happily, though, Arlington High School has continued to be a place where those with a positive attitude can still get ahead. For people who care less, the best facilities in the state would be no use. Again congratulations and my best wishes to fellow classmates as twelve long years of earnest effort finally come to their conclusion. I certainly hope you've enjoyed it as much as I know I have. GMB 4 13 77 Two-hundred years ago the Spirit of '76 wound up in the snows of Valley Forge in '77. The Class of '77 had no snow to get stuck in. By Winter we may even be dusting off our oil lamps with the possibility of blackouts now a real expectation. I found 1977 a most interesting school year with many pleasant surprizes: another strong Hi-Q team, GODSPELL, the EAGLE newsletter, with this week's news this week, and the passage of the Bond Issue. On the negative side we have garbage in the halls still being a major problem. Phil Marlow is going back to L.A. Warden Duffy is more used to bars and screens. Putting out this year's annual has been a pleasure. The staff is the smoothest I've ever had. Special thanks go to Jeff and Pam who were always there. And to Gary Beihl the first male editor of the STILLAGUAMISH TRAIL in a decade. Our magazine style book is meant to look like and perhaps be a part of the tough new photo-journalism of the 1970's. The lack of tough copy shows that things are really in pretty good shape. But don't get caught in the snow.

REG 4 13 77 PRODUCTI Illi GODSPEIX Belief, that's the feeling expressed by the talented group of students who were the stars of this year's spring musical. The play would not have been the success it was if not for the cast's concern and determination to do well. The care of these people shown through with much magnetism. The audience sensed these feelings and responded accordingly. The performance was the best received in years. Many people commented that the A.H.S. version exceeded college performances by far. This fact was proved as the play was held over by popular demand for a third and final performance. I can think of no better way to have spent my evening than viewing this fine performance. REG 4 13 77 Spring Play Page 65 Bull In A China Shop Fall Flay Page 67 The BULL IN A CHINA SHOP cast decided this year to try once again to renew the tradition of a school matinee. Although this play was heard more than most fall plays, it still failed to catch the attention of a majority of the student body. The play itself was good and came alive with the characters of Scott Benson, Beth Harrison, Tim Coxon and Kristi Dixon. The lead role was played by Kerri Tessem as an old biddy who runs a boarding house for old ladies. They all fall in love with a detective across the street who works in homicide; so in order to meet him they start doing each other in. Other characters in the play were Linda Swearengin, Kathy Nigro, Judy Purtteman, and Lisa Rhode. One of the better fall plays to come by for a long time; written by C.B. Gilford and directed by John Kelly. PDM 3 6 77 The beat goes Allegro .. . That's been the pace of the Band this past year. The band's year began earlier than most by participating in several parades during the summer. When the school season started the band was off and running with two well prepared half time shows and an appearance at the U. of W. Band Days. Leavenworth Autum Leaves Festival was next on the already full calendar. Besides doing well in marching they are a superior rated concert band. As proof of this the band gave several outstanding concerts, to some not so outstanding audiences, throughout the year. REG 3 5 77 on ISuuri Page 69 There Arose Such A Clatter Hami Page 71 Tcacli the W or Id Choirs Page 73 to Sing The choral program at Arlington High School underwent more changes this year, as they received another head director in the person of Mr. Lyle Forde, a young new vigorous musician who was often mistaken for one of the students during his first few weeks at Arlington. Mr. Forde introduced many new innovations in the musical program during the past nine months, and the public got a taste of some of them in the choir's first concert. The choir marched down the aisles, singing, instead of getting up on stage before starting. This was added to the voices of the swing choir, who were standing up in the balcony, creating a very interesting effect. The Vocal Jazz ensemble, composed of select members selected by Mr. Forde, had a very good year, earning a superior rating at the Solo and Ensemble contest this past spring. There were complaints about the choir singing too many religious songs in their performances. But people should remember that a great deal of choral history is very closely connected with religious services, and that the church and music have gone together for a long time. Like many other performing groups, the choir suffered from a small percentage of rude noisemakers in the audience who would often interrupt soloists, with a complete lack of courtesy and manners. This writer certainly hopes that this is only a temporary turn for the worse in the behavior of these few students who can give a bad name to the whole student body of AHS. GMB 3 6 77 ACTIVITIES V.I.C.A. Vocational One of the newest and certainly the most controversial programs to enter AHS in 1976-77 was the VICA Vocational Foods class. This small group of people are the trail blazers for a new club, Vocational Industrial Clubs of America of which the Vocational Foods class is a Charter member. After only six months in this program team members went down to Kentridge and defeated six year programs in Commercial Foods with Pam McDowell and Linda Swearengin coming back with first and second placings in Regionals, later to compete in Spokane for the state title in April. The club also had a community service project called an Endura - Thon which brought in over $500 for the Senior citizens. One of the most active clubs and certainly well noticed with U.S. recognition in the NATIONAL LEGIONEER MAGAZINE. We are hoping to get more of the vocational programs interested in membership. A good job for a first year. Club advisor is Earl William Lange. PDM 3 6 77 Foods V.I.C.A. I ai{e 79 THINK Hon. §oc. Page 81 Elite meet!

Christmas, the season of good cheer, did not by pass this club. In lue of the season they gave a Christmas basket to one of Arlington's less fortunate families. To top off the year the society held an awards banquet in honor of our graduates. Good food and entertainment set the stage for the awards presentations. REG 3 6 77 Brain power, that's what the Hi-Q team has been showing us this year. The stage was set for new members late in October, when a preliminary test was taken. Practice sessions have been held bi-weekly ever since. This years team was Gary Beihl, captain, Jeff Wold, Paul Satushek, Wayne Ohlemeir, Bart Reynolds, and Ken Beihl. They showed us what brain power really is at a home match against Langley and Woodway, March 11, 1977. Much enthusiasm was shown for the home team. At the time of this writting the Hi-Q team appeared destined for a playoff spot. REG 3 6 77 DECA’s Dozens Advisor David Olmer and his DECAteers managed to keep a smile on their faces and a touch of sweat on their brow all through the year. Some of their many activities included construction of Santa's house in December, the selling of carnations on Valentine's Day, and the ever popular, DECA store. (Incidently, thanks to all you junk food junkies who by spending your hard earned dollars every lunch enable the store to gross a solid $10,000 per year.) This year the Arlington Assets were lead by Lana Ankrom acting as president and assisted by vice-president Conni Christensen. Joan Douglas was treasurer and Debbie Krogen was secretary. Luanne Showalter and Leanne Livermore were the historians for 1977. Travel is another thing bur DECA chapter has been involved in. To start off the year, two members were sent to Olympia where they attended the Governor's Conference. Donna Justice ran for state secretary but was defeated. Then when November and the Western Regional Conference rolled around-Arlington sent eleven people to Phoenix, Arizona to enjoy the sun, the sights, and the other people. The Area 1 Conference was the next thing in sight, and everyone began preparing for the competition in distribution and marketing. Donna Justice won a second place trophy in hard line sales and Lana Ankrom won a fourth place in the area of cashier- checker. Next is state competition in Spokane. Sometime in May the Assets are holding a banquet in honor of their employers. All in all we've got a pretty active DECA chapter here in Arlington, and we hope to see this tradition carried on. LML 3 6 77 Prep DECA Page 83 Scott Titterness was this years Prep DECA president. Second in command was Judy Davis; vice-president with Luanne Isaacson as secretary, Mary McPherson treasurer, and Mary Weller as historian. At the beginning of this year Prep DECA sent Judy Davis and Luanne Isaacson to the Governor's Conference to learn the ropes of DECA. Next year they won't be in a total daze, and competition will be easier. LML 3 6 77 Health Occupations REG 3 6 77 Future Homemakers of America has been kept alive this year by an active group of girls. At the beginning of the year they made a bid for new members with a special meeting. Mrs. Johnson is their advisor. REG 3 6 77 Eagle Stitchery was quite a large group this year. They have been stitching up many new things under the direction of Miss Ulery. The stitchery is at the service of the towns people in Arlington. REG 3 6 77 Hospitals seem to be the future for this dedicated bunch of people planning to go into medical careers. Practical training this year included participation in blood drawings, Swine Flu Inoculations, field trips, and a disaster drill. The instructor and head nurse is Mrs. Hamilton. “A” All The W ay Jocks and Jills worked it out together for the second year in a row. They proved this by sponsoring dances and a faculty-JV basketball game and the raffaling off of a half a beef. Acceptance is becoming a reality. Jackets, a Big A symbol, are becoming more evident at AHS. The girls of the Big A club are continuing the fight for equality by obtaining new style jackets instead of sweaters. REG 3 6 77 Ti ooi d s Mri Tc“m Mr Page 87 Go get 'em team, Drill Team that is. Drill Team has become more involved this year. Their year began early as they accompanied the Band at the Seafair Torchlight Parade this summer. Marching pregame and the Homecoming parade and an excellent half time performance made up their winter activities. Basketball was next, presentation of the colors and a half time performance showed the continually building abilities of the team. Practice continued for the final parades and competitions of the season. Undying energy kept them on their toes throughout this busy year. REG 3 6 77 The Beet Goes On Like most farmers, our local FFAer's must've been handicapped by the winter drought. This year's Arlington chapter of Future Farmers of America was made famous through an exclusive article in the SKAGIT FARMER; other than that the club as a group hasn't accomplished much this year. They've done the annual summer fairs, crop selling, and landscaping, and thats it. To sum it all up in the words of Tom Klien, club president (not pictured), We ain't doing nothing. Hopefully with the coming of spring both crops and spirits will grow. Club advisors were: Keith Sarkasian and Steve VanValkenburg. PDM 3 6 77 At Tlic Company F.B.L.A. Page 8� The Arlington chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America, though less in the public's eye than in recent years, has participated in many activities throughout the year. To start out 1976-77, they had an early-morning breakfast at advisor Gerri Sather's home. Other activities included the selling of Arlington Eagle key rings, and attending regional and state conferences. The State Leadership Conference, held at the Sea-Tac Hyatt House on April 15 and 16, was the highpoint of the year, where members had the opportunity of competing against students from other schools in events like typing, accounting, and shorthand. This year, Arlington even had a team participating in the Parlimentary Procedure event. Jeff Wold served as 1976-77 State FBLA Treasurer. His duties included reporting the financial status of the state chapter, and attending meetings throughout the state. He also represented Arlington and Washington State at the 1976 National Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. Club officers for 1976-77 were: President, Kim Barker; Vice-President, Juliana VanderLaan; Secretary, Ruth Bradley; Treasurer, Bart Reynolds; and Reporter, Yvonne Yaphe. JHW 3 6 77 From the People to Exchange Fage 91 the People Arlington High School has several students who participated in student government in an active way in the past year. Also, our school continued to take part in the Japanese exchange student program, in which four students from America and Japan exchange families, schools, and lives for a full school year. This year's exchange students were Makoto Terajima, Tomo Yoshida, Hisanori Kazama, and Yasushi Kosaka. Participating in boys' and girls' state this year were Paul Satushek, Dean Benson, Joan Douglas, and Pam McDowell. Mention should also be made of our own A.S.B. officers, whom we all seem to take a little bit for granted. These people worked long and hard with little thanks, and they deserve to receive recognition of the trememdous job they've done over the past year. Officers were: Paul Satushek, President; Bruce Leach, Vice-President; Bob Cook, Secretary; Juliana VanderLaan, Treasurer; and Gary Senff, Business Manager. GMB 3 7 77 People Peopl e People Peop Service Mr. Lord Page 95 Dedication is the watchword for our assistant principal, Millard Lord. Over the past 27 years Mr. Lord has served the students in several capacities. He began as a woodwork, drafting, and math teacher; the next rung on his ladder of success was counselor; and today as assistant principal. Many memories have been retained over his stay here at A.H.S. One of the fondest will be the annual dedication of 1954. Out of gratitude for Mr. Lord's concern for youth, the class of 54 dedicated their annual to him at an assembly. His wife and son, Bob, were present. The assembly began and Bob heard his dad so off he ran to the stage, screaming Daddy! all the way. He has showed much pride in student achievement especially when his daughter, Susan, received the 1968 Girls League Award. But what normal American father wouldn't? Many things have changed over the years making his work more difficult but in the same respect more rewarding. Students have become more inquizitive as to school and what it can do for them. Thank you seems very inadequate for a job done so well and with such thoughtfulness for student welfare. But thank you and good luck in the future. REG 3 5 77 Everpresent Being principal is somewhat like being the master of a ship, a policeman, a salesman, and a diplomat all rolled into one. Whether seeing parents, walking the halls, at a game or concert, settling problems, worrying about the boiler, or pushing a levy, Mr. John Coxon, Arlington High School's Principal is always on the job. At left is Supt. Richard Post and his staff. Constantly changing laws and regulations keep them very busy.
