Giving. Often it is hard to believe that a school could give more than just an education. At most schools that is all a student can receive. Arlington High School, though, bestowed us with several gifts that can never be reapaid nor forgotten. Arlington enriched us; it inspired discovery and created a sense of security to which we soon became accustomed. It was our second home as we became seasoned veterans of halls, lockers, rooms, and teachers. The school changed and we changed with it. As it added new dimensions to itself — the new gymnasium, band hall, photography lab, and im- provements to the auditorium — we seemed to add more depth to our own lives. Arlington High School pushed us to dreams of higher diversity. In those variations we strived to achieve, we found fun, traditions, and pride. Arlington High School is boastfully filled with traditions. Our traditions kept memories of past classes, friends, and graduates alive in our minds. They also united us with the future as we laid the foundations for new traditions. These traditions brought us together and were accented with enthusiasm. Our pep rallies, athletic competitions, and all the work we put into ourselves were enlivened by participation. These activities reflected upon our school and gave us an intense sense of pride. Only Arlington High School students truly know the sensation at a pep rally as arms are raised to sing the alma mater. Another Arlington High tradition was excellence — excellence in our stu- dent body, our school, and especially our faculty. Our teachers gave totally to us. Their unending willingness to pass their knowledge on to us won the ad- miration of the entire student body. One such teacher who nourished us through learning was Mrs. Mary Margaret Basham. A teacher of history and English, Mrs. Basham expanded our knowledge in many ways. We learned about ourselves and gained, an understanding of the world that could not always be attained through a text book. She always demonstrated concern and support whether for an individual student or an all-school activity. We are grateful for her enrichment. With the greatest love, appreciation, and respect that can be given, we on the Colt Corral staff are pleased and proud to dedicate the 1982 yearbook to Mrs. Basham.
