After struggling for twe months, the upper classmen initiated them as full-fledged'members of Arlington High School. The initiation was quite severe, but all survived it. In the spring, the class party, to which all had looked forward, was held. After another month of strife, they were given three months vacation.

Out of respect to their upper classmen, they banqueted the Seniors near the close of the term. Six members of the class served as ushers for baccalaureate and commencement. when they took the seats of their predecessors as Seniors in High School, they were determined to make their last attempt a suc- cessful one. Although the funds were low, they increased them by sponsoring a penny carnival, a concession at the basketball tourna- ment, a pancake supper, and their class play, uwild Oats Boyn.
