Proudly welcoming Arlington’s first German foreign exchange student, Mike Klietsch, upon his arrival at Love Field are well-wishing AHS students and his American “family,” Kristie, Danny, and Mrs. John Polis. When annuals were delivered in August, the main topic of conversation was the upcoming arrival of German foreign exchange student Mike Klietsch on August 21. A large group of AFS “brothers and sisters” were on hand to welcome him and to give him a real Texan hat and a Colt pennant. Mike continued to be in the limelight throughout the year as a member of Key Club, FBLA, and the Foreign Language Club. The senior play, “Ar- senic and Old Lace,” also gave him an opportunity for participation in the role of the German plastic surgeon, Dr. Einstein. In his year in Arlington, Mike lived with the John Polis family, with Danny and Kristie as his “brother and sister.” At home in Kassel, West Germany, Mike’s father worked for an insurance company, and his mother worked part time for a church office. In his spare time, Mike played almost every kind of sport, although his favorites were track and the German kind of handball. Mike expressed a strong liking for cars and “Everything that’s fast!” He also enjoyed dancing and listening to all kinds of music. As far as school subjects were concerned, Mike preferred biology and chemistry. 19 student Mike Klietsch works on brother Danny Polis’s Healy.

Cop National Merit Semifinalists Awards David Mitchell’s cries of “Everybody push!” go unheeded by the other National Merit Scmifinalists as Linda Newman ponders school in Alaska, Richard Rogers piles on still another bag, and Diane Bush and Irene Hodgson look at college prospects. Sixteen students, the largest number Arlington High School has ever had, were named National Merit Semifinalists and commended students in October. Semifinalists eligible to become scholars and re- ceive scholarships upon completion of certain forms were seniors Diane Bush, David Mitchell, Irene Hodgson, Richard Rogers, and Linda Newman. Eleven students received letters of commendation for their performances on the test. Listed among those honored were Mark Fulton, Rick Goyne, Linda LaBclla, Mark Lewis, Sandra Mace, Jon Ran- som, Rick Rau, Darlene Sakowski, Shelly Terry, Gale Wheeler, and Ginger Wolfenberger. Selection was based upon the scores the students made on the qualifying test taken in their junior year. Rounding out the month of October was the partly-spooky-but-mostly-fun Halloween Carnival sponsored by the Student Council. Seniors nabbed best-booth honors for their talent show but the juniors’ slave auction and the sophomores’ photog- raphy booth were also big hits with the Halloween revellers. 21
