Turkey-month was a busy one for most AHSers with Homecoming activities rating top priority. Homecoming theme for this year was the Pea- nuts-originated slogan, “Happiness Is,” and as a result, floats were trimmed generously with the various members of the Charlie Brown crowd. Judged best of these entries was the juniors attempt, “Happiness Is Buffalo Stew.” Rene Scruggs was selected as Homecoming Queen, with Sharon Self, Jackie Lay, and Susan Glover the other nominees. Roxie Duckett and Carol Lynch were the junior and sophomore princesses, respectively. Shortly afterwards, two teachers were honored for their outstanding service to the school. Re- ceiving her pin for 25 years of teaching here at Arlington High School was Miss Jane Robin Ellis, choir teacher. In recognition of Miss Melba Roddy’s retirement from cheerleader sponsor after 22 years, cheer- leaders and their new sponsors arranged a surprise banquet with over 45 ex-cheerleaders in attendance from places as far away as Texarkana. 22

Netherlands, where her brothers and sisters were celebrating St. Nicholas Day. Margriet’s first day was a busy one, though, as she attended a lively meeting of the Student Council and the Christmas social of the Foreign Language Club besides being introduced to the school and the students by her American sister, Linda Atherton. Residing in the home of an elementary school principal was far different from Margriet’s home where her father is a chemical engineer for an American company. 24
