Cathy Self panics before she decides to submit to merciless Package Plan salesmen during the autumn drive. John Lynch, wearing a native Austrian costume, points out the country he adopted as his home during his summer stay. John Returns, Howdy Day Welcomes Sophs Beginning the calendar of events for Arlington High School students was the arrival of our foreign exchange student, Christin Dafni. On August 6 she was greeted by host family and fellow classmates and welcomed to her new home. With mounting anticipation, students gathered at the school gymnasium on August 17 for the ar- rival of the ’67 COLT CORRAL. Free Cokes helped to cool the summer heat as friends exchanged year- books for signatures and talked about summer activ- ities. Just four days before the beginning of school, Arlington High’s own foreign exchange student, John Lynch, returned home after spending the sum- mer in the Austrian Alps. The initial week of school was climaxed by a pep rally and game against the North Side Steers, the first Colt victory of the year. Posts of class leadership were filled during the fol- lowing week as each class held its elections of of- ficers. Many sophomore and junior soloists could be heard rendering their own versions of the fight song on Howdy Day as revengeful upperclassmen conducted. Following the day’s events, many students ventured to Longview to see the Colts challenge the Lobos despite the foul weather. With great enthusiasm members of the COLT and COLT CORRAL staffs kicked off their annual pack- age plan drive on September 22, introducing the newspaper-yearbook package to all students. On September 29 the rivalry was high as the Arlington Colts met the Sam Houston Texans at UTA stadium. In this game, the first between Arlington’s two high schools, the Colts came out on top by a 17-6 score. 15

Petite Christin Quickly Adjusts, Becomes Colt Corral Editor Mike Daugherty instructs Christin in the basics of yearbook advertising as her fellow staffers contribute ideas. Sening a Coke, Hostess Christin Dafni flashes her Six Flags smile as she warns a small guest of various park regulations. AHS again took on an international air as its newest foreign exchange student, Christin Dafni, arrived on August 6. Awaiting her arrival were her host family, the Harold Walkers, “sister” Gail, and 30 eager AHS students. “Ina,” as she is sometimes called, left behind her parents and one sister in her home on Corfu, an island northwest of mainland Greece. For relaxation Christin participates in several hobbies, all of which she keeps in practice here in the U.S. Among them are horseback riding, swim- ming, and listening to popular and classical music. Despite a Texas-size rain, 20 American Field Ser- vice students treated Christin to a pool-side birth- day party at the Jim Garrison pool in Fort Worth, on August 18. Later on in the month, Christin participated in the AFS “Look-In” fashion show', which netted the student committee S500. Another highlight of her summer was being hired at Six Flags Over Texas as a “drink puller.” Chris- tin termed her job as a lot of fun and a really 16
