the excitement of participation Grin, laugh, and grin again. Chuckle at the utterly ludicrous fun of Western Day; gasp while accepting the crown of a queen. Gaze with skepticism at the flimsy paper makings of a class float, constructed with love. In short, take pail in the rituals of school spirit. Live, and learn, and care violently about the outcome of things in general. This is the SPIRIT OF '67. This is the magic element that somehow makes Arlington High School tick. Whether it is the desire to break a record, or a hidden drive to prove one’s individual worth, these feats are, most of them, accomplished because of heart-wrending and spirited-efforts. So thus it is that the SPIRIT OF ’67 is a most practical commodity. Intangible as it may seem, and as diffi- cult to describe, this particular spirit oftentimes belies the laws of nature to become a motivating force in superhuman endeavors. Happiness comes in many flavors, but Buffalo Stew is the tastiest for the juniors whose float rates first place. The Buffaloes get the doghouse and the seniors receive the second place title in the homecoming float contest. Sophomores heap up plenty-um fresh buffalo meat as their first float attempt ranks third in the float competition. 6
