Yearbooks arrived in May, ending the three-week period of suspense for AHS students. Their arrival also halted the stret- ching of the truth by annual staff members who had students and teachers alike com- pletely baffled. No one was sure whether the annuals were coming at all or not. Staff members were glad to be able to say The annuals are here, when confronted with, When are the annuals coming? by every person they saw. Under the impression that they were to hear a stage band concert, students filed in- to the auditorium. In the middle of the program, changes suddenly began to take place. People came from all corners of the auditorium and mounted the steps to the stage while Everyone's Signing Yearbooks” played. The annuals had arrived! The as- sembly was concluded with the presentation of the yearbooks to the student body. Sign- ing of annuals filled the remainder of the afternoon. The Scribble Party—the time when every difficult phrase of copy and every prize-winning picture is disregarded and com- pletely covered with many prettily composed lines of endearment—was held on that night.

Frances Green visualizes graduation exercises with Mr. Martin. As the class of '58 marched down the aisle to receive their diplomas, expectant juniors began to dream of the day when they would be traveling the same path. They would have completed their sixteen credits in math, science. English, and history. No more nightly studying, no more staying up all night to complete a term theme, no more apple polishing. Happy would be the occa- sion, but sad, too. The drudgeries of school work would be over, but also would be the hours of joy and fulfillment spent at AHS under the patient leadership of a devoted faculty and community. Even with these realistic visions, the members of the class of '59 began the following term with graduation still a year off. Rosalynn Guinn and James Dunkly await graduation. Juniors Look Forword to Oraduation In a short while, the class of '59 will be taking these places. ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL T V T T .V T X. s s A t 1i » f t t » 7 4:,' nr
