E Older but Better XCELLENCE As the school year began, students noticed a change in their surroundings. Workmen spent three solid months remodeling, repainting, and repairing the old school building to revitalize and give it new life. Since the building first “Arlington High is the best school.” opened in 1956, it has grown along with the city of Ar- lington itself. As the number of students increased from hundreds to more than 2,000 students, the building gained an additional hall, which was added to the two-hall original in 19. Along with students enter- ing high school sophomores and leaving as seniors three years later, fads, too, came and went readily. This con- tinues even today. Arlington High has even seen to emergance of new policies instigated by state of- ficials. These policies have slowly, in some way or other, helped to reduce the number of traditions at AHS. Stu- dents almost witnessed the passing of one of the greatest traditions in the form of Colt County Fair; however, it was revived after students rallied together and held one of the most successful fairs ever. There remains one thing that shall not pass from Ar- lington High. This is the ex- cellence of our school. It re- mains the outstanding school in Arlington. “Arlington High is the best school in Ar- lington,” senior Melissa Hub- bard said.“Arlington High is truly Older but Better. 19S9 Cota Corral 2 OPENING
