 Spring of Hope Because of the disappointing fall and winter sports showings and because of the undulating suc- cess of organizations and activities, people began to look toward the spring semester for relief. Trackmen began workouts and before they were finished they had given Arlington a second place spot in district and had placed several members on state and national superlative lists. While track was still in progress, baseball was creeping into the minds of the students, and right- fully so. The baseball team continued the success that the track team had started and contributed some of its own as it made the best showing of all of the AHS sports teams for 1968. Interest in activities began to pick up in spring, also. Attendance at school dances showed much- needed improvement and participation in club ac- tivities increased to help make a very good year. Junior Dan Choate expounds on the beauty of flowers via the “Henry Gibson” method at the “Laugh-in” style Twirp assembly. A student acquires an understanding of the effect of static electricity during the “Atomic World” assembly. 6

Year Ends With Spirit, Mixed Emotions Winners of the zone one-act play competition pausing for a rest arc (standing, left to right) Meridith Yates, Debbie Duket, Dwight Coker, John Ncdderman, Mike Spruill, Jan Webb, Dorothy Matthias, Donna Lewis, (seated) Lcs Rhodes, and Diana Wright. Traveling on the spirit generated by the “spring of hope”, activities really began to move during the second semester. Annual events took on a new look when spring arrived. The junior and senior plays were written into the books as two of the more successful in recent years. In addition, both the choir and band were invited to attend Hemisfair ’68, and the re- action to the Choraliers was so tremendous that they were asked to do an additional performance. Attendance at both the junior and senior proms was outstanding. The one-act play became zone champion. Class socials enjoyed increased support and school assemblies were even funnier. Perhaps, the best part of spring was the fact that it meant school was almost over. For seniors it was the end of twelve years of education; for juniors it was the start of their last year; for sophomores it meant they were no longer the low men on the to- tem pole. For everyone, though, it was the end of a year that had its ups and its downs, but a year that could truly be termed a very good year. Students dance to the beat of the Spokesmen at the Twirp dance. 8
