hard work and dedica- tion to remain at the top ... . y We ' re sy Standing Out! In addition to facts or statistics, many things stand out at Arlington High School. Many vi- sual things show that we are the cream of the crop . The open campus is unique. The rolling hills in the cen- ter of campus provide a pastoral scene for stu- dents. Also, did you ever notice that the portables had win- dows, but are now bor- dered up? The ceilings were lowered to put in a new air-conditioning unit and lights. I felt claustrophobic in the portables. I liked to look outside so I didn ' t feel so closed in, and besides, it gets very stuffy in there, com- plained Lori Shaputis. The newest addition to the school is the mar- quee. It ' s really infor- mative if you want to know what ' s going on, stated Ray Campbell, sophomore. The mar- quee was donated by the 1985 and 1986 senior classes. Other things are im- portant to students at Arlington. The atten- dance rate is overall the best in the district. Ninety percent of all students show up for The most outstand- ing feature of Arling- ton is the way that ev- eryone treats each other. They ' re not only really nice, but also are very helpful.

I come to school each day because if I don ' t, I probably would get into trouble because my parents would find out through the office, confessed Marcella Ogata, junior. Other students wish they could go to Arlington, but inter-district trans- fers have been cut to nineteen this year. This small number was to compensate for the seniors that graduated last year. I really wanted to go to Arling- ton, but because we moved, I had to go to Rubidoux. It was really sad to leave all my friends, explained Jackie Brown, junior. The reason they have been cut was the school was so overpo- pulated. The school was built for 1,800 stu- dents and one way to curb the situation was to serve our own first, explained Stan Coner- ly. The few inter-dis- trict transfers, high at- tendance rate and high enrollment all show that Arlington is in high demand. Many people want to attend AHS, but the ones that do make up the best.
