EDITCRIAL Six years ago, we came to Arlington High: to the big, red brick building, to its colorful teams, and to a strange faculty, stern, but seemingly under- standing. We forced our hearts from our throats and pushed through the door. Our years in Arlington represent many of the most enjoyable moments of our lives. We have increased our knowledge of math and of grammar. But greater than these, we have learned the meaning of companionship and the spirit of cooperation-these things above all others will become more meaningful in the years to come. During these past six years, we have become a part of Arlington as it has become a part of us. The big, red building has become just school , we have played on the colorful teams and the teachers have become real friends and advisers instead of stern pedagogues. Thus we have spent our days in Arlington High and we are preparing to leave. Each year a new and eager group will stand outside, and as they try to remove that choked up feeling much as we are trying to now, they, too, will push through the door of opportunity and emerge better citizens. As a reminder of our small part of this great cycle, we have gathered just a few of our fondest treasures and we, the senior class, present them to you in our, l95l ANCHORS. JULIAN SMETANA, Editor

Ji ,I FCREWORD To you, the Class of l95l , the immediate future seems none too cheer- ful. Many of you will enter the armed forces or seek service in other fields to promote the defense effort of our country. The transition period which has normally existed between high school days and the beginning of adult life will of necessity be much shortened, if not entirely eliminated. lt is important in times like these that we all keep our sights high. The Great American Tradition is still in force. Almost any week, one may read a modern version of the poor boy from across the sea, from the farm, or from the slum, who through sheer pluck and energy, surmounts diffi- culties and rises to prominence or eminence. He is readily discovered in any field: in industry or commerce, in science or letters, in statesmanship, in churchmanship, in education or the fine arts. And the key to such success stories-intelligence, initiative, intense application, and ceaseless labor. The story is written, and re-written, in the lives of such well known characters as John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ford, Edward Bok, Babe Ruth, Marian Anderson and numerous others. lt is true that it is not given to everyone to be great or even outstanding -but many more could be, if they would make the effort. At any rate, everyone can be honest, trustworthy, and maintain high moral standards. Class of l95ll Our Country needs outstanding citizens. We trust the years you have spent in A. H. S. have conditioned you to be successful, and to meet the high standards of citizenship so necessary in a Democracy, HAROLD C. STORM, Superintendent Best of Luck to You Alwaysl
