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.

pie, it was amazing! This was just one of the many impressions stu- dents had of Arlington High School. There were so many different people that stood out this year; such as students in- volved in academics, ROTC, agriculture, dra- ma, and a wide variety of extra curricular ac- tivities. Students in- volved in these activi- ties put out 100% ef- fort to make Arlington stand out. No matter what kind of activities students were involved in, you could definitely see a difference in our school ' s appearance, commented junior. Jack Neill. All over the schools campus you could spot students and faculty members sharing and communicating with each other. Especially in the classroom, peo- ple from all walks of life made friends and sup- ported each other. I ' ve met a lot of peo- ple at Arlington this year, said Anne-Marie Vanhoose, senior, This was my second year at Arlington, and it was hard to believe that I met so many people who had such a wide variety of inter- ests. Along with support- ing each other, stu- dents who supported the school and spirit I think school spirit is one of the most impor- tant things about this year, whether students were involved in extra curricular activities or just at football games. It ' s great! Merci Allebaugh, freshman. were evident wherever one looked. I think our school has improved more and more over the years. Everything was unique and excit- ing. The students ' way of showing school spirit improved more and more, explained Heather Rea, junior. Many of the seniors at Arlington had a very positive attitude about their last year, whether they attended for one year or four years, the school ' s uniqueness is one they will not soon forget. Donna Momrow confessed, This year was a real memorable one for me. It was my senior year, and I don ' t think I could ever for- get all the fun times that my new and old friends have had. Although seniors would be leaving their friends, clubs, and classes, they would be leaving with memories and a sense of respon- sibility that comes with one ' s high school years. Many under- classmen were looking forward to their next school year of living and learning .
