Charter members of the faculty and administration observe the occasion. Administrators At Arlington Aim For High Achievements When the population of Indianapolis spread North and Eastward the demands for a new high school were quickly recognized. Then before the eyes of all our teachers and many prominent people from the Board of Education this long planned dream became a reality-Arlington, the city's newest and most modern high school, was officially open. As the empty halls awaited students and activities, the teachers assembled on that hot opening day of September to raise the first flag over Arlington. Some of the dignitaries present at this ceremony were William Leak, President of the School Board, and George F. Ostheimer, General Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Osthei- mer later addressed the teachers in their first assembly in the school library. While most of these 75 teachers had been brought from different schools, many were finding their first teaching experience at Arlington. At this time their job was filling in schedules and programs, and through the unified effort of the administration Arlington was ready to fill her empty halls with the bustle of student life. Although the flag stood lifeless on that still, humid day, the whirlwind of activity which followed throughout the entire year had begun. Listening intently as Superintendent George Osrhemier welcomes them, the first faculty of Arlington prepare for the first semester. Surrounded by empty library shelves, these people are the first to make use of the school.
